Chapter 289: Assassination?

Although in essence, the Republican Party and the *** Party actually serve the interests of the United States, there are still many differences in many policies about who is in power. It's the same here, but unfortunately, some people who know a little bit about things know that the first prison has been decided. It is not only the result of the discussion between the three factions, but also Zhao Yu's opinion. Ouyang and Zhou Ping are not suitable for the new system attempt, because these two people's adventurous spirit and courage are commendable, and they may not be able to do anything in the Prison Association.

The personnel of the three factions were obviously prepared for various unexpected situations, but they didn't expect that Yushitai and Dali Temple would come with an axe and cut a few people, which made everyone shudder. They didn't know that these two departments were also helpless, and it was Zhao Yu who wanted to use this matter to make a fuss and kill the unhealthy tendencies. If everyone is honest and honest this time, then the two departments directly under the emperor's jurisdiction will be in trouble.

In a bit of a death terror, the election has finally begun. This policy is first of all to register, and those who are willing to participate in the election can go to the Ministry of Officials to register. However, it is indeed not easy to get ten people to sign it. Besides, even ambitious people don't think about the limelight of the first session. The so-called gun shoots the first bird, Li Gang and Ouyang are usually relatively prominent people, so they are no longer afraid of guns.

According to the rules of the Qing Doctor's Petition, more than two candidates will be elected in multiple rounds. For example, if three people participate in the candidacy, one person will be eliminated first, and then the remaining two will be promoted. This is to avoid the highest personal approval rate, because the distribution is unreasonable, resulting in losing to people with fewer votes. The candidates for this election are Li Gang, Wu Min and Xu Churen, and the three of them are according to the size of their official positions, and Xu Churen, who has the youngest official position, first expresses his own ideas and ***, and then Wu Min finally goes to Li Gang.

After the first round of ***, Wu Min was eliminated first. But what Ouyang and others didn't expect was that in the first round, Xu Churen was 20 votes higher than Li Gang with a high number of 50 votes. If you add the *** of the magistrates who have already arrived in Beijing, Xu Churen is even more than twenty-five with sixty.

The Qing Doctor announced a one-hour break, and all the officials continued the second round of *** after a little refreshment. There's no way, not everyone can stand the three *** families on stage to say an hourly report.

The people of the Imperial Observatory paid close attention to the activities of some of the candidates, but the three parties were obviously very sensible, and each went to the courtyard of his own faction.

Ouyang took off his official hat and asked, "What's the matter?" Who did you vote for? ”

There were only eight officials in the room, and everyone unanimously replied, "Of course it's Li Xiang." ”

"Wu Min also has *** people on his side, Li Gang has eleven people, and everyone adds them together, so no one else votes for Li Gang? What did Li Gang do that angered people? Ouyang asked, "Or is there something we haven't taken into account?" ”

Su Qiandao: "Could it be that there is something wrong with Wu Min's side?" ”

An official said: "I think Ou Xiang underestimated Li Xiang." Do you remember Zhang Jun's enclosure? Why do you think Kaifeng Mansion Yin asked the deceased to go to Li Xiang? But if anyone has a good impression of Li Xiang, they will also discourage this matter. No one spoke for Li Xiang afterwards. Why did Li Bangyan dare to blatantly make Li Xiang ugly in Zhongshu Province? ”

"What is the reason?" Ouyang asked.

"In other words, although Li Xiang will not be annoying to everyone, everyone will not like him either." Su Qiandao: "My lord, have you forgotten that when he took office, Wang Hao was sentenced to beheading." How long has it been since Da Song killed such a big man? Li expressed his dissatisfaction and indignation at the officials' greed for ink, which may also be a reason for losing the support of the people. ”

An official said: "When the European minister looks at us, and then at the DPRK and China, there are really few people who are completely clean. Except for Chen Dong and Zong Ze. To be honest, who wants Li Xiangjian to be in charge of the country? Moreover, Li Xiang's policy is a policy of suppressing business. You didn't mention it, but you cut us off all our financial means. And it's not a joke, it takes three years to break it. In the past three years, I can't say how Li Xianghui will settle everyone's accounts. So...... To be honest, I didn't vote for Lee Sang. ”

"Neither do I." An officer interface.

Ouyang almost fainted after counting, and he voted for himself, Su Qian, and Xu Churen. Ouyang smiled bitterly: "It seems that even if you are persuaded to vote for Li Xiang, the number of votes is not ordinary." Looking out, Wu Min's hall seemed to be struggling. Of course, everyone is not distressed because Li Gang is not in prison, but because Zhao Yu has obviously gone out through the news of the Nine Princes, and the first supervisor Zhao Yu is Li Gang.

Xu Churen's official reputation and official qualities are okay, and he also has special research on economy, trade and commerce. Everyone knows that people like Xu Churen will only be *** at most, and it is impossible to severely punish corrupt officials, and the policy is also based on stabilizing the economy. So in an uproar, Xu Churen flew up. From Xu Churen's official experience, it can also be seen that the enlightened and economic development of the Song Dynasty has been maintained until the modern reform and opening up, and some people believe that the ****** atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty exceeds that of modern society. Like what...... The emperor never forced demolition, but also consulted the people.

Su Qian said: "I think it's better to discuss the aftermath." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, looking at the current situation, Li Gang is more than lucky. Ouyang Dao: "This is the first election, and everyone is watching. Even people who don't care now will know in the future that this is an election that affects their lives. So you can't pretend to be sick at all. Although it is to carry the emperor's anger, it also has to be the head. Since everyone dared to choose, Lord Xu did not dare to be. Of course, everyone still has to vote for Li Xiang in the next round, this is *** requirement, I want to say, since everyone gathers together to serve this group, and this group also serves you, you must also abide by the group's decision. So I hope you don't get too busy. ”

"Groups?" An official asked, a little confused.

"Ouyang Xiu said that gentlemen are harmonious but different. Our goal is simple, we want to implement the capital system of Sleepwalker. So we got together. Interest groups, whether in civil or commercial activities or in the court, should combine and gather influence. Together, we also have to tap talents to enrich our team, and we also have to write a book to explain our best views and seek everyone's support. If someone disagrees, that's okay. But I want people to know that we're not a business alliance, or a money alliance or a corrupt rights alliance. We are the first alliance, we have pursuits, we have goals. Ouyang asked: "In fact, this point of view has been said repeatedly, if someone misunderstood before and is willing to quit now, we will definitely not act excessively." Because we are not friends who are united by affiliation, but by parties that are united by the same goals and ideals. ”

……

Even if all the people led by Ouyang smashed the votes, Li Gang was still completely defeated in the second round, and Xu Churen became the first prisoner. Of course, according to the rules, Xu Churen must get Zhao Yu's permission before he can officially become a prisoner. However, as long as Zhao Yu is not too stupid, he should know that this is definitely not the time to use imperial power, even if he wants to use it, it will be solved later.

Then, Xu Churen announced the *** alliance he organized, and announced that he was the chairman of the alliance. Xu Churen invited Li Gang to form a structure of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Shangshu Province and six other departments. Wu Min was supposed to be in coalition power with Li Gang, but he became an oppositionist, which made Zhou Ping very dissatisfied, but Zhou Ping didn't blame others, no one would have thought that there would be such an accident in the election.

……

The ninth prince asked Ouyang to invite him outside to dinner, and the palace was very popular due to Zhao Yu's departure. The number of internal guards did not decrease, and the number of eunuchs and court maids fell to a record low. In addition to ensuring the safety of royal figures, the internal guards now also have to send people to protect Xu Churen's safety. Zhao Yu did not have a surveillance nature this time, and if Xu Churen had his own bodyguards, the internal guards could not participate.

The ninth father-in-law laughed at Mimi, who was not a good thing: "Why, you and Wu Min don't take the emperor's meaning in their eyes." ”

"Ninth Father-in-law, the more I think about this, the more wrong it becomes." Ouyang said: "Li Xiang's votes are really too low. In the past few years, the territory has expanded, coupled with the basic completion of the change of dynasty, the official area has always been a big gap, but there are many young people to the fifth grade, most of these young jinshi have been trained in Yangping or the University of Tokyo, and they are full of spirit, love the monarch, the country and the people. They won't choose Li Xiang because he is an upright official. In contrast, Xu Churen and Wu Min are both people with a copper smell, and since ancient times, people who have read books have been high, so I don't believe that so many people are against Li Xiang. ”

"Huh!" Jiugong said fairly: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you, it was I who took a handwritten edict to the Qing Doctor who counted the votes and asked him to fake." ”

"Huh?" Ouyang was surprised.

The ninth father-in-law shook his head: "Actually, if you don't arrange it like this, Li Xiang still loses." Originally, the emperor wanted to see if you dared to comply with '***'. Don't worry, Lord Ou, the emperor hopes that this is the case. If the emperor really wants whoever is in charge of the country, he can directly issue a holy decree, so why bother so much. Do you think the emperor has to explain so much to his courtiers? What's more, it is the prestige of the emperor today. ”

Ouyang thought about it and said, "Lao Jiu, we've known each other for more than ten years." There's something you have to tell me privately. What does the emperor think of this election? ”

The ninth father-in-law replied to the question: "The lord was sent out of Yangping Zhi County, sorted out his county, and then became the shopkeeper, why?" ”

"Because if you didn't care about it earlier, it would be a garbage county, and then you were still young. Later, the county's corruption and construction were all put on the track, and a certain rule was formed. Of course, you can leave it alone. Don't think I like to eat lunch next to the smelly corpse every day, and don't think I like to play with women in the middle of the night when someone tells me to go to the water. And don't think I like to go out into the countryside and get some fresh air. If someone has done it, why should I bother with such a thing. Besides, if I manage less, I will be wrong less, and there will be no mistakes if I don't care. When money is earned, it is natural that there will be less work. It's like ***, very few people go to be *** because they like to be topped up. It's the same with being an official, very few officials go to be an official for the sake of hardship. But whether it is good or not has something to do with the number of patronage to help publicity. Whether the official reputation is good or not, whether you can make money, and whether you will endure hardships to run a county. ”

"Only our family has the fate to meet such vulgar words of Lord Ou."

"It's hard to tell the truth." Ouyang Dao: "How many Li Gang are there in this court?" How many Zongze? Chen Dong and his ilk are also people who love names. ”

"The emperor is not Li Gang either." The Ninth Gonggong smiled: "Why are you the emperor?" With the country in hand, the emperor has succeeded in this. Now the contradictions are all in the prison country, and people of other factions will not look at the people of one group and ignore the wrongdoing. Glory and wealth, needless to say. Instead, we want to ask Lord Ou, in this situation, why does the emperor still have to deal with chores every day? Why do you have to deal with the border tribes and Jurchens with infamy? Why take the pretext of starting a war against some countries? Bai Qi knows, right? Killed 400,000 Zhao Jun. But everyone thinks that Bai Qi is cruel, who would think that it would not be an order from King Qin, Bai Qi is just a person with infamy? Lord Ou, haven't you seen that the emperor is implementing a complete separation of military and political affairs? ”

Ouyang asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"The royal family holds the military power, and the imperial court controls the government affairs." Jiugong said: "In order to avoid the army being weakened by later generations. The emperor also has to set standards for troops and logistics. For example, the ratio of people to soldiers is 100 to 1, and so on. To put it mildly, if there is a Liu Bang one day, he will only compete with Xiang Yu to be the prisoner, because everyone is used to the separation of military and political affairs, and he wants to be the emperor and wants to manage government affairs, which will inevitably be opposed by the government and the opposition. And maybe even the people around him will be dissatisfied. Although the imperial power has been weakened, it is not as attractive as before. In this way, there is the Song Dynasty of Wandai. ”

……

The general election was initially decided, and Xu Churen seized the power of the first prison as a dark horse. Several positions that can be mastered were assigned to Xu Churen. After that, the policy of people's livelihood and national strength was announced.

Ouyang saw that the situation was stable, so he asked Jin Niang to take charge of the work in Tokyo, and he and Zhang San and Li Si went north. When I arrived at Huanglong Mansion, I heard a news from this important military town: Wanyan Zongbi had captured Nuzhen in front of him. The news has not yet been confirmed, but it can be confirmed that it will take more than ten days for Zhao Yu to arrive at Huanglong Mansion.

Huanglongfu still has a very heavy shadow of a military town, not only the comings and goings of the army, but also the ruins of the siege of the city are still visible. Ouyang reported to the heavily guarded Zhao Yu's temporary palace, and the internal guards who arrived early received a notice that Ouyang would accompany him, so he explained to Ouyang the time when Zhao Yu might arrive, and then asked Ouyang to take Ouyang to the Huanglong Mansion Post House to rest.

Ouyang Wanyan refused the kindness of the internal guard, he didn't like the temporary post house. Besides, he has been supervising the army on the Hebei Military Road for so long, so he can't be so miserable. When he arrived at the pacification department, he handed over the famous thorn, and successfully caught several people in charge who knew here, including Wu Jue, who was in the position of Zhang Jun at that time. Wu Jue stayed here to receive Zhao Yu, he wanted to lead Zhao Yu to the south of the Jurchens and Changbai Mountain, and then go north to the East China Sea, and finally to the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms, that is to say, before Zhao Yu arrived at the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms, Zhang Jun had to deal with the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms, as for Mongolia and Western Liao, there was no time to go, and those places were too barren, and it was not interesting to go.

Wu Jue was overjoyed when he saw Ouyang and said, "I heard that the Lord has been promoted to the vice minister......

"General Wu is too polite." Ouyang Dao: "My appearance is just a false position. By the way, General Wu, I heard that the former army captured Yan Zongbi as soon as I entered the Huanglong Mansion? ”

When Wu Jue heard Ouyang ask, he pulled Ouyang aside and asked in a low voice, "Who did the adults listen to?" ”

"Huh? Any questions? Ouyang asked rhetorically.

Wu Jue said: "A few days ago, a message was sent from the front, and after speaking, Yan Zongbi suddenly disappeared, I don't know if he ran away or got sick. At this time, a rumor suddenly arose, after saying that Yan Zongbi was caught by the forbidden army, and the pacification department sent someone to investigate, but he couldn't find the source, and he didn't know what the situation was. ”

Ouyang smiled: "Actually, you are more suspicious that Yan Zongbi sneaked into the Huanglong Mansion and was about to assassinate the emperor, right?" ”

"Alas...... There is such a worry. Wu Jue said: "Wanyan Zongbi is proficient in Chinese, and he is very familiar with the customs and habits of the Song people, so it is indeed troublesome for him to pretend to be a forbidden army." Its force is outstanding, and the divine shot is invincible, in case it really mixes into the Huanglong Mansion, it will give the emperor a cold arrow......"

When Ouyang heard this, he was even more puzzled: "General Wu, I don't see any means of investigation for you." "Now Huanglong Mansion is very miscellaneous, not only Hebei Military Road, Internal Guard, Xiang Army, and Tokyo Forbidden Army. There are also merchants, walkers, workers, and so on. According to the security requirements, these people must be inventoried, and then the army will be systematically checked, and the security level of the people will be graded, and a place as large as Huanglong Mansion can be sorted out in three or four days at most.

Wu Jue smiled bitterly: "It is undeniable that Huanglong Mansion has many people and buildings, and it is a relatively easy place to start. The emperor will definitely go to the city to see the style of this ancient military town, but ...... We are not sure of Yan Zongbi's purpose at all, let alone be sure that he will definitely come to Huanglong Mansion to assassinate him. The emperor also wants to go to the south of Changbai Mountain, Changbai Mountain, the East China Sea, and the Five Kingdoms. You can't just toss one place at a time, right? The emperor will also be unhappy if he knows it. However, Lord Ou can rest assured that it is now loose on the outside and tight on the inside. At present, the forbidden army and the box army are being investigated, and in the past 20 days, no new forbidden army has entered the Huanglong Mansion. Once the ban is checked, we'll have five points. ”

At present, I have only heard that Yan Zongbi suddenly disappeared from the front line, no one knows, and no one has seen where he went. Zhang Jun's plan to encircle the remnants of the Jurchen forces that he was about to complete also made him extremely worried because of the appearance of this episode. Among all possibilities, there is only one that the Great Song Dynasty is most worried about, that is, Wanyan Zongbi wants to assassinate Zhao Yu, who is about to inspect the original Jurchen Land. Huanglong Mansion is Zhao Yu's first stop, so whether Huanglong Mansion will be the location of the attack also makes everyone worried. After all, the situation of the Jurchens is too difficult, and if Wanyan Zongbi doesn't hurry up, he won't even have a chance to resist stubbornly.

But...... For example, as soon as bin Laden disappeared, did the president of the United States dare not go out? There is no evidence that Wanyan Zongbi was preparing to assassinate Zhao Yu. Besides, how can it be so simple to assassinate Zhao Yu.
