Chapter 159: Impeachment

Due to the explanation, Ouyang's cell was cleaned, and then candles, four treasures of the study, and a relatively comfortable small bed were prepared inside. The next guest was Whelan, who was obviously more up-to-the-point, not to mention anything else, first took out a few plates of food and brought a cup of wine. Huilan poured wine and said: "My lord has worked hard in the northwest, but it is an immortal achievement, and it is hard. ”

"Hehe, Whelan, you're polite. I heard that you gave birth to a pair of big fat boys. ”

Whelan nodded and said, "Thanks to the prenatal exercise taught by Sister Liang, the birth went so smoothly." But I think it's supposed to be taught by adults. ”

Ouyang smiled and denied: "What I taught? I'm a man! ”

Seeing that Ouyang didn't admit it, Huilan didn't talk about it, so she changed the subject: "Do you still have correspondence with General Han and General Liu?" ”

"Huh?" Ouyang asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" "Huilan doesn't seem to care about this idle matter, even Liang Hongyu can't take care of it.

Seeing Ouyang's misunderstanding, Huilan explained: "My lord, the emperor still values you. No matter how much you make trouble, as long as you don't touch it, she won't do anything to you. ”

"What?"

......Seeing that he didn't understand, Whelan asked, "Do you know why you have made such a great contribution, but you are in prison?" ”

Ouyang said: "Because of Liao." ”

"That's not right! The Liao State is just a head. The real reason why the adults fell here was to befriend the two generals Han and Liu. Seeing that Ouyang still didn't quite understand, Huilan simply said: "Your Excellency has a military factory, and your adult has a royal newspaper, and the court will not be unaware of the sharpness of these two industries." And the imperial court also needs these two sharp industries, which is why the imperial court has always ignored this. However, if you add military power, it will be different. The northwest opens up wasteland, the golden treasure land, not without worrying about the adults waving and shouting in the northwest one day and establishing themselves as kings. Look, my lord, the general who leads the army in the division has a good relationship with adults. Song Jiang and his gang are now also martial arts, and they are also quite involved with adults. If you increase the number of generals who have won the new martial arts, sir, can the imperial court not be taboo? ”

Ouyang took a breath of cold air after hearing this, it turned out that all of Zhao Yu's words just now were not nonsense. What lives up to me, I still think it's a child's love when I hear it, but it has other meanings. At the beginning, he said that he was a traitor and a loyal minister. also talked about money, I didn't care if it was 40,000 or 4 million, and I didn't seem to worry about corruption at all. And he was stupid enough to talk to her about external and internal policies and ideas, and people were not interested in listening to them at all.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the royal newspaper has already attributed this merit to the emperor." From the analysis of logistics, preparations, strategic intentions, etc., the royal newspaper said that Zhao Yu was leading. And Han Shizhong and Liu Qi are just implementers. In this way, the protectors of Han and Liu can be regarded as matched. Second, using the royal newspaper to explain it is to illustrate Ouyang's attitude. After Whelan heard the news of Ouyang's questioning, she took great pains. Not only did he browse the wartime news overnight, but he also transferred Li Yifeng back to Tokyo from the northwest. Everyone understands that except for Ouyang, no one can run a newspaper, just like no one can be the magistrate of Yangping.

The simplest reason is money. Whoever becomes the editor-in-chief and the magistrate of Yangping County dare not pay such a high salary to their subordinates. But Yangping's economy is developing rapidly, and if you open three melons and two seeds, others would rather go to work. According to the saying, a government servant only has a few hundred yuan per month, while Yangping has reached 20 yuan per capita, nearly a hundred times. Another person is the magistrate of Yangping, dare to use so many officials? The number of people is beyond the state. However, as soon as the officials are dismissed, there will inevitably be flames. Does anyone else dare to care about those who are rich? Which one hasn't hooked up with all the above?

What Ouyang didn't know was that no one had mentioned Changzhi County and the editor-in-chief. But Zhao Yu weighed it and vetoed the proposal. Without Ouyang and that group of reporters, I don't dare to guess what the Royal News will become. And what will happen to Yangping? Because what will be the ripple effect of these two events? Just as someone said that he wanted to withdraw the Tongguan Hebei West Road Supervision Army, Zhao Yu didn't want to, but had too many scruples.

Zhao Yu also understands that without Ouyang, the most likely thing in the northwest this time is to be in a stalemate, and both sides will lose. Even if he took back Ling Yongle, Song Guo would not lose anything. So because of this, Zhao Yu personally came to the prison to give Ouyang a chance to defend himself.

Huilan was shocked when he heard what Ouyang said to the emperor: "This ...... If you don't know how to say it, don't say it! Since ancient times, there have been traitors and loyal ministers, and the emperors also know it. And the one who is really tabooed by the emperor is precisely the capable minister you said. Kindness...... Adults also know the story of Xiao He's self-defilement, and they must also take action, otherwise it will be bad if the holy decree demotes you to a commoner. ”

In order to avoid Liu Bang's taboo, Xiao He sent his subordinates to occupy the fertile land. Then he instigated the victim to sue the royal court, Liu Bang was furious and sent Xiao He to prison. In the end, Liu Bang approved a large area of fertile land and released him to reinstate himself. Ouyang smiled bitterly: "It's one thing to understand, but I don't know how to do it." ”

Hui Lan analyzed the ministers of the previous dynasty, Cai Jing was a powerful minister, because he was in a strong position, and the emperor would not know about it. But for example, if you reform some new laws, you can leave them to do what offends people. Liang Shichen is a eunuch, but he is a powerful official, which can be regarded as a traitorous minister. The Emperor Taishang also knew that it didn't matter, because the emperor also needed someone to do something unruly, but when he found that Liang Shichen and Quan Chen had a private relationship, they became taboo. Zongze, Naotoshi. The Emperor Taishang also knew, but he couldn't stand it, and he didn't like him, so he forgot about him as much as possible. The representative of the loyal minister is Li Gang, but he was demoted twice, promoted twice, mentioned when he was used, and degraded when he was not used, but after all, he still had a certain position, so after the death of the courtier, the court also wanted to mean it. Yongchen, everyone is the same, respects the rules, and most people in the court are like this. And Nengchen has to go back to Wang Anshi's generation, changing the law and innovating, enriching the country and strengthening the army. But in the end, Wang Anshi died in grief and resentment. Even decades after his death, the imperial court did not let him go, was stripped of the title of King Shu, and stopped enjoying the royal temple. Looking at the ancient Nengchen, Wang Anshi, the eldest grandson Wuji, Shang Ying, etc., once the honeymoon period has passed, they are basically either dead or hidden, and there is no good end. And, of course, modern ...... Zhu Lao. Whelan's summary is four words: Taiji is coming.

"First of all, money, adults put their wealth into state affairs. It's too high-spirited. Nowadays, it is not unaware of the folk storytellers. What emperor wanted his courtiers to have such prestige among the people? Adults should use their money to buy a house and a field in the future......"

"I bought it! The vicinity of the county government on Yangping North Street is all in my name. ”

"That's not ......," Huilan sighed, it was Ouyang who first bought the wasteland in the new city, then built industries, exchanged the land in the city, and then allocated people's houses. It's two different things. Huilan said: "Speaking of women, adults have money, they can buy four or five concubines, and if they have nothing to do, they will drink and have fun with the concubines." When the news came out, the adult was a person with no ambition, and it was not enough to filter it. ”

"Five?" Ouyang thought about it, all five women nested around him, today this person said bad things about that person, tomorrow that person said bad things about this person, and then gave birth to a group of boys...... He shuddered and asked, "Anything else?" ”

"There is also power, promotion. Everything you do is to climb up. ”

"It's hard to be a human being!" Ouyang leaned his head on the cold table***: "I can understand now, why the ancients often said that they died young, it turned out that whoever could do it would die quickly." ”

Huilan smiled: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be depressed, you can see that the emperor still looks down on important people." Therefore, if you can't do those three things, you must also remember that you must not have any contact with the generals who lead the troops. In response to the current situation, there is only one way for the emperor to put his mind at ease. ”

"Impeachment? Ouyang impeached Han Shizhong and impeached Liu Qi? ”

Cai Jing nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I saw it when the minister sorted out the seal." Lord Ou impeached General Liu Qi for indiscriminate killing, and impeached General Han Shizhong for looting the gold and silver of Xingqing Mansion without permission. ”

Zhao Yu nodded: "Even I, an outsider, know that there is no one who does not kill indiscriminately in war." As for the looting of gold and silver, there have been many years of war, but they are all trivial. ”

"Then Your Majesty?"

"But this wind can't rise, how can a dignified prince cause people to be sick. An order was issued to reprimand the two generals and demote the title by one rank. ”

"Yes!"

Before the people sent to the northwest arrived, Han Shizhong and Liu Qi came to impeach Ouyang as a prisoner, abolished military affairs, and had fun in the camp all day long. Zhao Yu was pleased with the two impeachments. It's not that she doesn't know how false this is, but this impeachment is a covert indication of the attitude of both sides. Except for military affairs, the two sides have no friendship.

Then Zhao Yu issued an order to reprimand Ouyang, and demoted Ouyang's official position to that of Congbapin, which is equivalent to a large county. After a beating, Zhao Yu issued another order, saying that Ouyang had made great achievements in breaking the Proton Army and the Iron Harrier in this battle. If you have a mistake, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded. Allocate 3,000 yuan from Da Nei to build a great gong pavilion in Ouyang's hometown Oujiazhuang, and order the Hanlin Academy to draft a tuowen and place it outside the pavilion, the content is Ouyang's merits. And the name of the pavilion was written by Zhao Yu himself. Zhao Yu's money is a very high gift to an official in feudal society.

And Huilan, who has always been calm and intelligent, and understands ***, reminded Ouyang that the emperor no longer knows what reward Ouyang is interested in, and the word 'name' must be coveted. and then helped Ouyang draft a form, showing that Ouyang had tears and snot flowing together after receiving the decree, and he was moved by the emperor's grace for eighteen lifetimes. Ouyang whispered to Whelan that it would be better to open up some arms trade with Jin.

Ouyang was released from prison, but remained in Tokyo for the time being. This is to give an explanation to Liao. As for how to explain, Ouyang and the Liao envoy will talk. And Ouyang had already reported the details of the casino's listing to Liao Xiang Liu Chuwen. With the understanding of Liu Chuwen, such a game with a large doubling of assets will definitely be played. And it will also make Liaoguo not difficult for himself.
