Chapter 89: Off-stage Transactions (The Helmsman "What to Do If There Is a Book Shortage Have to Write It Yourself" Plus Update)
The second uncle still doesn't know where he is trapped, and Ghost Li can only expect the enemy to be lenient and consider the worst case scenario.
If the second uncle is trapped in the prison and wants to save people, it will be very difficult.
Inside the prison, all of them are Qin criminals, and the internal and external defenses are much tighter, although with the force of Ghost Li, it may not be impossible to kill people and rescue them.
But among the defenders, there are only a lot of crossbowmen, if the arrows are shot, he may be fine, but the second uncle is only afraid of his life.
If Gao Yu is really deceived, then Ghost Li can directly tie Gao Yu up and replace him as a hostage.
There is no need to alarm the emperor, Gao Yu's own subordinates can do this.
Of course, the premise is that his identity as a assassin has not been revealed.
There is also a reason why Ghost Li chose Gao Yu.
His current identity is a military attaché, and he has to find the right way to run the official, and Taiwei Gao Yu happens to be in charge of the military attaché.
According to their official ranks, the military attaches of the Great Song Dynasty can be divided into three classes: horizontal class, Zhu envoy (east and west class), and envoy (big and small envoy), including Hengban envoy, Zhu Si Zheng envoy, Hengban deputy envoy, Zhu Si deputy envoy, Zhu Si deputy envoy, ambassador minister, small envoy, and Wupin Wei Yong, a total of seven levels and 60 ranks.
Because during the court meeting, they were located in front of the eastern class and stood in a horizontal row, so they were called "hengban" or "hengxing (hang)", and the lowest was also from the sixth rank of officials.
After the rampant, the left and right are divided into the east and west classes, all of which are officials of the seventh rank and from the seventh grade, high in the east and low in the west.
In the east column, only the imperial city envoy and deputy envoy are military election officials, and the rest are civil election officials.
The western column was all military officers.
The big and small envoys are only eight grades and below, and they are not qualified to go to the palace to face the king, and there is no place for them to stand in the court, which is also the category with the most military generals.
The official position of Tai Lieutenant is the head of the military attache in the horizontal class, the second grade, and the apex of the military minister.
Under the Taiwei, it is the general doctor, also called the provincial envoy of the inner guest, and he is the fifth grade.
Between the fifth rank and the second grade, all of them are civil officials, and there are no military generals.
In fact, in the middle, there are also the generals of the guards from the fourth grade, the generals of the fourth grade, the generals of the guards from the third grade, and the sanitation officers of the third grade.
There are also some titles such as what assassin history, observation envoy, regimental training envoy, festival degree envoy, defense envoy and so on, but this is a military officer, not a military election officer, and it is not among the military ministers.
In other words, this is not an official position that can be boiled out by qualifications, nor is it a position that can be promoted by virtue of meritorious service, and it must be given by the emperor's decree.
Most of the sanitation officials are actually related households, and the children and grandchildren of the powerful are admitted to the office, and then given a high-grade and high-level position to raise.
A separate commander has no authority in itself and has no practical significance.
The ten knots in the Water Margin are all former bandits after Zhao'an, and they are all commanders, but they actually have no real power, but they give the leaders real power and let them make contributions.
Compared with the second-rank jiedu envoys of these ten people, the last time that Song Jiang got was the seventh-rank martial minister's military officer, the military officer Wude, the pacification envoy of Chuzhou and the head of the soldiers and horses, it was very low.
With the example of these ten people, Liangshan's Zhao'an faction did not worry about being cooked by rabbits and dogs, but the result was ...... People are different.
To put it bluntly, the generals in the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how great their meritorious service is, they will only be a positive fifth grade until they die, and whether the rest can be promoted again depends on fate.
Di Qing's credit is too great, and he can't be rewarded if he doesn't reward him, so he gave a privy envoy of the civil official sequence and jumped out of the trap of this military general, what is the result?
Although Gao Yu is a captain, he is not a military general at all, but it doesn't matter at all, as long as he is in a high position.
Zen Master Zhiqing shook his head when he heard this, and he was really speechless for this martial artist who didn't understand the rules.
He directly hinted:
"What a noble status Captain Gao is, how can he easily come here to play?"
"If the donor wants to make friends with Yousi and think that the officialdom will help, ordinary military officials are enough."
"Even if Taiwei Gao is willing to come to meet, you can't afford to pay for that gift."
After hearing this, Ghost Li shook his head again and again:
"Old Zen master, don't bluff me!"
"I heard in my hometown, and now in the court, there is a saying called, 'Douliang beads, then dragon map; Five thousand so, straight secret pavilion; Two thousand, and the general judgment. ’”
"Even the money is ready for this trip, so I ask for a general judgment, from the official position of the fifth grade, ordinary officials can't be the master, and they need the Taiwei to nod in person."
"It only costs 2,000 yuan to buy an official, but how much can it cost to see the captain?"
Zen Master Zhiqing hurriedly shook his head, refusing to admit that he was killed.
"No, it's just a rumor of a foolish woman in the countryside!"
"This general sentence is a civil official, not a military position, and this is a real position, but it is not the kind of false name of the imperial court selling officials."
"How can the actual official position of the imperial court be allowed to be granted to each other privately?"
Unlike other dynasties, the official positions of the Song Dynasty were sold at an official price.
How much food or how much money does the official correspond to a few products, it is absolutely a child's choice.
But the problem is that the officials sold in the Song Dynasty were very pitiful, although the price was open and transparent, it was definitely not a fair deal, and no one wanted to buy it at all.
Whenever money was needed for the war, the old Zhao family would find some rich and big families to forcibly sell their officials, and they would not be able to buy the kind that would not work.
Even Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and other noble ministers also pinched their noses to recognize this practice.
But the problem is that these officials have low positions and super expensive prices, not to mention, they don't have any privileges.
Normal officials, even if they are only petty officials from the ninth grade, can be exempted from tax exemption and forced labor, but the purchased officials cannot!
No matter the grade, no matter how big an official is!
What's even worse is that these people who buy officials have always been discriminated against by officials who were admitted to the Jinshi and are regarded as untouchables.
They even pushed the imperial court to issue regulations that the descendants of these officials wanted to take the imperial examination, and their qualifications were restricted, and they could not marry the royal family.
This made the local tyrants who paid very dissatisfied.
There are no benefits, but a lot of disadvantages, who has a problem with their brains, and they still have to spend money to buy officials?
However, this is an official means of selling officials, and now those who run for official positions are all taking private routes, and the money does not fall into the bags of the imperial court, and it all goes to the competent officials at all levels.
Zen Master Zhiqing bit it to death, but only introduced the good faith to each other, and refused to admit the matter of buying officials with money.
Seeing that he was cautious, Ghost Li didn't force anything, and said:
"Then according to what the old Zen master said, a certain long-term Taiwei Xiang's name, never met Zunyan, intended to get acquainted, and asked the old Zen master to help introduce one or two, how about it?"
Zen Master Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
This reckless man is not completely stunned!
When it's time to be tactful, it's still very good.
"The affairs of the Principality are heavy, so it is easy not to come here to worship the Buddha."
Ghost Li immediately understood, doesn't that just look at how much money there is?
"I would like to add a hundred pieces of sesame oil money to my Buddha."
The old monk shook his head, "The donor is only staying for a few days, so there is no need to spend so much." ”
Ri Niang!
That's too little!
"The heart of a certain Buddha is very sincere, not the cost of accommodation." Ghost Li also looked sanctimonious and talked nonsense here with him, "A certain wish to go out of five hundred times to rebuild the main hall for the Bodhisattva." ”
The old monk just bowed his head and drank tea, without saying a word.
What a greedy thief, damn it!
Ghost Li was angry in his heart, but his face smiled even more happily, "Before this trip, I made a grand wish, if I get my wish, I am willing to make a thousand times and make a golden body for my Buddha." ”
Hearing this, Zen Master Zhiqing put down the teacup, folded his hands, laughed, and praised: "The donor is so pious, he will be able to make his wishes come true." ”
Li Ghost also smiled: "So-and-so will send someone back to get the money, come and go quickly, half a day." ”
Zen Master Zhiqing was not afraid that he would repay the debt, so he called a monk over on the spot, wrote a handwritten letter, and asked him to send it to the Taiwei Mansion.
Next, Zen Master Zhiqing talked with Li Gui about some gossip, chatted about the customs of various places, and told the legendary story of Buddhism.
The old monk has a very high emotional intelligence, even a rough man like Ghost Li, and he chats happily with him, and he is not uncomfortable at all.
After chatting for tea, a rush of footsteps sounded outside, and the monk who delivered the letter returned.
He trotted briskly to the door, held on to it, and cried out breathlessly:
"Woe to you!"
"Master, the official family was assassinated last night, and now there is already a large-scale search in the city."
