Zhu Ming received many Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, although he had already posted a notice at the gate of the Generalissimo's Mansion to prevent officials and people from giving gifts, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the officials and people.

It's not very valuable, Zhu Ming left it by himself.

If it is worth a little money, all of it will be thrown to the public treasury as military funds, which is equivalent to the giver donating military expenses.

When the news came out, everyone praised it, compared with the emperor in Tokyo, Generalissimo Zhu is really dedicated to the public!

Song Huizong was forced to stop Huashigang, but he came up with a new thing.

Cai Jing, Cai Tiao and his son founded the Xuanhe Ku style Gongsi, collected the treasury from all over the country and transported it to the capital. From gold and silver treasures to vegetables and fruits, they were all sent to the emperor.

This actually has nothing to do with Cai Jing, it was made by Cai Tiao and Cai Yan brothers, just to invite pets more actively.

Cai Jing is old, unable to see, and has no idea how many commotions his two sons have had in the past six months.

Now it is Cai Tiao who specifically controls the court, and Cai Ying signs official documents by Cai Jing's side.

Cai Tiao's brother-in-law, Han Bai, was originally just a grace official, and he didn't have much real power to speak of, so he was directly promoted to the head of the household.

Han Yan is in the household department, but he is doing the work of the ministry. If anyone doesn't like it, he will secretly discuss with Cai Tiao, and then let the officials impeach and demote those disobedient ministers from the court.

Every time Cai Tiao went to court, the officials greeted each other, and dozens of officials holding official documents were behind him at any time.

I don't know, I thought Cai Tiao was the prime minister.

In fact, not only is Cai Tiao not the prime minister, but even Cai Jing is not really reinstated.

The real prime ministers are Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan, the former is the left minister, and the latter is the right minister.

"What our prime minister did is like the echo worm of Cai Jing's father and son," Li Bangyan said to Bai Shizhong in private, "Have you ever heard of a prime minister who can't be the master of anything?" ”

Bai Shizhong smiled embarrassedly: "It's a fluke to be the prime minister." ”

Li Bangyan said: "If you don't get rid of Cai Jing, you and I will never be the master, so we can only serve the documents to Cai Jing's father and son." ”

Bai Shizhong said: "It's okay. ”

"I want to bring down Cai Jing, do you want to advance and retreat together, or do you want to go to the informant?" Li Bangyan asked.

Bai Shi chose not to help each other, shrunk his neck and said, "I offer auspicious rui to Your Majesty." ”

"Bad goods!" Li Bangyan was furious.

Since Bai Shizhong was admitted to the Jinshi, he has not had any outstanding political achievements, but he has been demoted for doing wrong things.

He is only good at one thing, and he is auspicious!

Changing tricks to Song Huizong to offer auspiciousness, and the angle is strange, which can always bring the emperor a sense of freshness. For example, this year, a young woman in Tokyo suddenly grew a beard, and he immediately offered it as auspicious, and Song Huizong made the woman a Taoist priest.

Such a good person can be Dazai, ranking first among many prime ministers.

Li Bangyan said: "The old man can't see anymore, what are you afraid of him doing?" If you can't advance and retreat together, then I can only regard it as Cai Dang. ”

Bai Shizhong thought about it, he was afraid that he would not be able to bring down Cai Jing and burn himself, but he was also unwilling to be Dazai or an echo worm. After hesitating for a long time, Bai Shizhong finally let go: "Then let's fight with the old horseman!" What to do? ”

Li Bangyan said: "Every time there is a court meeting, as long as Cai Tiao is present, the ministers will line up to greet him, just like seeing the Son of Heaven. Isn't this transgression? There is also the Xuanhe Library-style tribute, collecting the world's treasury and offering it to the official family, but Cai Tiao is full of private pockets to obtain wealth. Han Yan was suddenly promoted by the household servant, but he thought that he was the secretary of the ministry, promoted officials, and deposed the courtiers, all from the hands of Han Bai, where is the majesty of the official family? ”

"I'm afraid it's hard to say that the official family is moving." Bai Shizhong worried.

Li Bangyan smiled: "You can pull Zhu Mian over." ”

"He wears a pair of pants with Cai Jing." Bai Shizhong shook his head again and again.

Li Bangyan said: "The official family abolished the Huashi Gang, and Zhu Mian also lost his use, although he is still favored, but the power in his hands is gone." As long as you promise Zhu Mian that after overthrowing Cai Jing's father and son, he will help him take charge of the Xuanhe Kushi Gongsi, wouldn't this be equivalent to restoring the Huashi Gang? Zhu Mian definitely agreed! Many of our favored ministers are in trouble together, let's just say that Cai Jing and his son dominate the dynasty! ”

Bai Shizhong's eyes lit up: "Yes, monopolizing the dynasty, the official family is very taboo about this." ”

As a result, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You, Tong Guan, Zhu Mian and other favored ministers united to make small reports all day long.

does not say that Cai Jing's father and son are corrupt, only that the father and son are in power and opposition, and no one can control the life and death of the ministers, and even faintly accuses Cai Tiao of being unsubservient.

Song Huizong really began to pay attention, and sent his henchmen and eunuchs to inquire secretly, and sure enough, Cai Tiao and his eldest brother Han Yu were flying high, and even put on a big show when they were waiting for the court. The courtiers meeting Cai Tiao was like seeing the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Cai Tiao's arrogance is so much that he seems to have a heart of disobedience, and he can't punish his mistakes by dismissing the official, and he should abandon the city and be beheaded before he can set the record straight!" Cai You instigated the emperor to kill his own brother.

Song Huizong came to comfort him instead: "Give him a hundred guts, he won't dare to rebel, just dismiss the official." ”

A few days later, Han Yi was demoted to Huangzhou, dismissed Cai Tiao's position as a scholar, and cancelled Cai Tiao's Jinshi origin.

It's all like this, Cai Jing still doesn't resign, and continues to call the shots in the capital.

The more Cai Jing was like this, the more annoyed Song Huizong became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, because Cai Jing had no use for farts and could no longer help the emperor make money.

Song Huizong called Tong Guan and Cai You and instructed: "You go to Cai Jing's mansion and ask him to hurry up and resign!" ”

The two were immediately overjoyed and rode together to find Cai Jing.

As soon as he left the palace, he met Bai Shizhong, and this guy has been waiting there.

After asking about the situation, Bai Shizhong changed his cowardice and suggested ruthlessly: "Not only do you want Cai Jing to write a thank you form and resign, but also let Cai Jing leave the capital." If he stays for one more day, it will be a disaster, and maybe one day, the officials will think of him again. ”

"Yes, Cai Jing must be forced out of the capital!" Cai You didn't care about the relationship between father and son.

Cai Jing is listening to the report at home and still insists on handling government affairs.

A servant came in and whispered.

Cai Yan said: "These two people, I'm afraid they are not good. ”

Cai Jing instructed: "Set up the wine and entertain the guests." ”

Putting down the wine and food to entertain the two, and without drinking two glasses, Cai You said: "The official family asked, why didn't Lu Gong resign?" ”

Cai Jing actually said with a crying voice: "Why doesn't the official family allow me for a few years? Someone must have slandered him. ”

Tong Guan sneered: "I didn't know there was such a thing. ”

Cai Jing could only see the vague figures of the two, arching his hand towards them, almost pleading: "I am old and weak, I should have resigned earlier." The reason why he still stayed in the court was because he had not yet repaid the kindness of the official family. This heart, the second prince should know. ”

The servants who were standing by and waiting were stunned when they heard this.

How can a father call his son "male"?

Cai You became his father's "father", and he became more and more complacent: "I am acting on orders, please Lu Gong immediately write a thank you form!" ”

Cai Yan was furious: "Sixth brother, how can you be so rude to your father? ”

Cai You just didn't hear it.

Tong Guan also kept urging, waiting a little impatiently.

Cai Jing stood up tremblingly and asked Cai Ying to help him get the official seal. This old thing held the official seal in his arms, and he was reluctant to hand it over, so Tong Guan stepped forward and grabbed it.

Tong Guan and Cai You took the official seal and left, and as for the resignation letter, they would help write a few letters.

Walking to the door, Tong Guan retreated: "The official family asked you to leave Beijing as soon as possible!" ”

Cai Jing pretended not to hear, he was reluctant to leave the capital, maybe there would be a day to recover.

The two walked on the road, and Cai You said: "Wang Hao is now serving in the Ministry of Rites, and this person can't be kept." ”

Tong Guan smiled: "Just clean up with Liang Shicheng!" ”

Half a month later, they made a small report, saying that Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao's house was only separated by a wall.

Song Huizong didn't believe that because the house he gave to Wang Hao was separated from Liang Shicheng's mansion, there was another family.

Cai You said: "Wang Hao had already forced people away, forcibly occupied other people's houses, and became neighbors with Liang Shicheng. ”

Song Huizong was suspicious and decided to check it out in person.

Soon Song Huizong returned to the palace angrily, and the eunuchs and ministers he favored had joined forces to deceive himself for so many years!

Liang Shicheng was fined for introspection, and Wang Hao was immediately dismissed, and the errand of raising the Taoist temple was not left.

The Great Song Dynasty has entered a new era.

If you don't count eunuchs, just look at the civil official positions, Bai Shizhong is the first, Li Bangyan is the second, Cai You is the third, and Zhao Ye is the fourth.

But many times, Cai You's words carry more weight.

After Bai Shizhong took power, the top priority was to make money for the emperor: first, to mint large coins; Second, the resumption of free money.

Exempting money is the content of Wang Anshi's change, which is similar to the nature of exempting money.

The government conscripted conscription, and the people paid the free money, so they no longer had to serve as servants.

The government apportions labor materials to industrial and commercial households, and if industrial and commercial households pay the exemption fee, they do not need to apportionment again.

Bai Shizhong has now resumed the exemption of money, and has also asked all the money collected by the local government to be handed over to the central government. The local state and county could not get half a penny, and the apportionment had to be apportioned, and the industrial and commercial households were made miserable.

……

"Who grinds a round of flying mirrors? Shine through the universe and print through the mountains and rivers. Yulu Lingling, washing the autumn sky and silver without waves......"

Master Li is singing, and she has slightly adjusted the tune of "Folding Laurel Order".

"Wonderful!"

Sing a song, Zhu Ming took the lead in applauding.

Master Li stood up with a smile: "The concubine is ugly." ”

"Singing excellently." Zhu Ming praised.

Master Li said: "It's a good job of Xianggong. ”

Zhao Fujin chewed the moon cake and said: "I have never eaten this kind of cake in the palace before, it turns out that the folk want to eat moon cakes for moon appreciation." ”

Zhang Jinping said with a smile: "In the past, people didn't eat moon cakes, but since Su Dongpo's poem, moon cakes have gradually become popular." ”

Su Shi can be called the "father of moon cakes", he was the first to connect the moon and cakes, and wrote the poem "Moon Cakes": small cakes are like chewing the moon, and there are crisps and cakes. Taste it silently, lovesick tears stained with towels.

Chong Miaoyun pointed to the moon in the sky: "Eat moon cakes tonight and enjoy the bright moon, it is better to do the flying flower order." Eclectic, with the word month. ”

"Great idea!" Zhang Jinping immediately agreed.

"Who's coming first?" Although Zheng Yuanyi is not good at learning, she can still play with the eclectic Flying Flower Order.

Master Li said: "Naturally, the prince will invite you first. ”

Zhu Ming asked: "Seven characters or five characters?" ”

"Seven characters are the best," Zhang Jinping said, "if you can't catch it, you can also compose a poem yourself." ”

Zhu Ming said: "The moon travels with people. ”

Zhang Jinping continued: "Jiang Yue is shining at the beginning of the year. ”

Zheng Yuanyi said: "Tonight, the moon is bright. ”

Master Li said: "Where are the people who came to look at the moon?" ”

There are many ways to play the Flying Flower Order, the most strict one, even the rhythm of the verses must be the same.

Zhu Ming: The kind they are playing now is that the word "month" appears in order, and if the position is not right, it will be wrong.

The so-called Flying Flower Order in CCTV's "Chinese Poetry Conference" is not called the Flying Flower Order at all, it is purely memorizing poems.

Zhao Fujin, Zhao Fujin, and Pei Chang'e quickly caught it, and Chong Miaoyun also gave a sentence, and it was finally the turn of Zheyan embroidery.

"Moon...... Month ......"

Zhe Yanxiu picked up the wine cup, raised her neck and drank it, and turned the wine cup upside down: "It's done!" You go on playing. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter, not because they sincerely made her ugly, but because they thought it was fun to make her embroidery.

The second one was Zhao Fujin, who was suddenly stuck, and he couldn't think of the relevant verses.

"I'll just drink it," Zhao Fujin pouted, emphasizing repeatedly, "but it's not that I can't pick it up, I just suddenly forgot about it." ”

Zhao Fujin patted his sister's forehead: "Let you usually read more, just like to play." ”

Several women, vaguely divided into four small groups.

Zhang Jinping has always been close to Zheng Yuanyi, Zhao Fujin and Zhao Fujin are naturally sisters, Master Li often teaches Pei Chang'e to play the piano and sing music, and Chong Miaoyun and Zheyan embroidery are both the daughters of Jiangmen.

Tonight, taking advantage of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the wives and concubines came out to admire the moon together, which brought the relationship between each other closer.

Zhu Ming was suddenly surprised, why are there eight women in him?

Zhong Xiang, the Emperor of Great Chu, counts the queens and there are only nine.

It's really a woman!
