"Alas, I don't know how the good deeds are now, whether they are going well?"

Seeing Wen Tianxiang leaving, Chen Yizhong fell into worry.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Chen Yizhong felt strange, and after asking the entourage to open the door, he saw that it was Wang Cong, remembering what he had done before, and asked in a low voice inexplicably: "It's you, what are you looking for me?"

This Wang Cong is Jia Nidao's entourage, and has always been responsible for delivering orders for Jia Nidao.

is the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, although he is just an entourage, Chen Yizhong does not dare to be careless.

"Chen Yushi don't panic, I'm just an entourage, how dare I offend Chen Yushi? It's just that Chen Yushi, Prime Minister Jia has some things to deal with today, so he sent me to find you, I don't know if you are willing?"

"Okay, then please lead the way. ”

Chen Yi was inexplicably nervous, thinking that he had been helped by meeting Wen Tianxiang before, so he hurriedly commanded with a stiff face, for fear of revealing some flaws.

The king never noticed, so he naturally walked in front and led Chen Yizhong along the street all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Stepping into the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Yizhong noticed that in this mansion, in addition to himself, there are also Liu Mengyan, Han Zhongrui, Xia Gui, and Lu Wende, and these people are all inextricably related to Jia Yidao.

Seeing this formation, Chen Yizhong was also stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Jia Yidao, who was sitting at the top, walked down from his seat, took Chen Yizhong's hand, and said with concern: "Chen Yushi, I finally waited for you." Come on, come on, take a seat. Holding Chen Yizhong's hand, he pulled towards the seat.

Chen Yizhong saw that Jia Yidao was so enthusiastic, he only felt strange in his heart, and his steps couldn't help but pause, but he was pulled and stumbled, and when he saw Jia Yidao, he seemed to complain, and hurriedly replied: "This, but I don't know why the prime minister is so enthusiastic? After all, I am just a small imperial history, and compared to you, it is still too small." ”

"Haha! Chen Yushi, you are too modest. ”

Na Jia Rudao shook his head, and said with a smile: "Who in the world doesn't know that you strongly recommended Your Majesty to let Na Ding Daquan lose his armor and glory? Probably feeling that Chen Yizhong was too restrained, he directly said that Chen Yizhong was pressed on the seat, and then said: "Otherwise, why did I ask Wang Cong to summon you?"

"Well, it's too much!"

Chen Yizhong smiled awkwardly, not knowing if he should respond.

According to his previous position, he should be in the same situation as Jia Rudao, but now that he is treated so kindly, he really can't figure out the situation.

Jia Rudao smiled: "Alas. Have you ever remembered that because of the incident of the six gentlemen, you were once robbed of your fame and forced to hide in the Jianchang army?"

"This, of course, remembers. "Chen Yizhong has bitterness in his face.

Although Ding Daquan was brought down, the six of them did not have a price, they were all condemned to varying degrees, and his memory of living in the Jianchang Army was also very profound.

Jia Rudao said again: "That's right. So later, when I was promoted to prime minister, because I pitied your talent, I recommended you to Your Majesty, so that you can come out of the Jianchang army from now on, and since then you have been on the rise, and now it has become the imperial history. Have you forgotten that?"

"I have never forgotten this!" Chen Yizhong bowed his head and replied.

Seeing that Jia Yidao repeatedly mentioned these things, he was even more scared in his heart, and he didn't know what the other party was paying attention to.

Jia Rudao shook his head, not knowing whether he was relieved or threatened: "That's good." That's good. Since you remember my kindness, it means that you are willing to help me. ”

"Well, but I don't know what it is?" Chen Yizhong asked.

Jia Rudao shook his head and said helplessly: "Alas, it's not for that Cheng Yuanfeng?"

"Cheng Yuanfeng?

Chen Yizhong was slightly stunned, and said in his heart.

For these people in front of them, it can't be anything else except fighting for power and profit.

Jia Rudao closed his head and replied: "That's right, it's this person." With inexplicable hostility in his eyes, he said: "You also know that this person used to be the head of Taixue Mountain, and his henchmen are all over the government and the opposition. In the official family's last order, the reason why he was promoted was also to use this person's prestige to stabilize the court a little. ”

"Is the official family left behind?"

Chen Yi was inexplicably sour, but he remembered Zhao Yun.

Speaking of this Zhao Yun, maybe his talent is indeed insufficient, and maybe his virtue is also flawed, but he has been bothering, trying to reorganize the dynasty and restore the Central Plains.

It's a pity that Zhao Yun didn't see this day after all.

Jia Rudao nodded and admitted: "That's right." This is the person!"

This appointment was arranged by Zhao Yun before his death, because it was placed in the Chengtian Palace, and when Zhao Xuan ascended the throne, it would be displayed before all the courtiers, even if it was him and the current official Zhao Xuan, it was categorically difficult to change.

"But I don't know what this person did to make Prime Minister Jia so angry?"

Chen Yizhong bowed his head and asked, at this time, he could only save his life by bowing his head, and he still understood this.

"Hmph! That guy, I don't know what's going on, yesterday he actually made a lot of nonsense above the court, saying that I caused the current situation of the court to wither. Jia Rudao said with a look of indignation.

Chen Yizhong asked with some embarrassment: "This, I haven't heard the full text, can you please tell the prime minister the details?"

"Alas, as you know, since the founding of our dynasty, we have accumulated many problems, among which the 'three redundancies' are the most serious. Jia Rudao said helplessly.

"Three redundancy", that is, redundant soldiers, redundant officials, and redundant expenses.

Needless to say, since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it has been facing a threat from the north, from the beginning of the Liao State, the rise of the party, and even the Jin Dynasty, and even the current Mongol and Red Phoenix armies, all of which are serious threats to the Song Dynasty.

In order to deal with these fierce enemies, the Song Dynasty had no choice but to build a large army to defend its own territory.

On the other hand, in the name of preferential treatment of scholars, the Song Dynasty would not use the death penalty unless it was an extremely serious crime, and it was mostly derogatory, and in order to win over scholars, it was even more open to Enke and the grace system, so that the descendants of scholars could also become officials smoothly.

As a result, there are naturally huge expenses as well.

The combination of the two naturally creates the problem of redundancy.

At the beginning, Wang Anshi proposed to change the law in order to be able to solve these three redundant problems.

Jia Rudao is now the prime minister, no matter how derelict he is, he can't easily avoid this matter.

After Chen Yizhong heard this, he immediately closed his head and replied: "This is a question, but I just ask the Prime Minister, what did Cheng Yuanfeng do to make you so angry?"

In order to solve the problem of military salaries, I originally planned to implement the law on public land in the territory, but the guy directly refused to enforce the law on the grounds that he had harmed the people. You say, isn't this going to cut off our roots?" Jia Rudao looked annoyed.

Speaking of which, it was also caused by the Northern Expedition.

Previously, because of the Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty's finances were completely hollowed out, and in order to maintain the last financial revenue, Jia Rudao aimed at the public land law, trying to use this public land law to solve part of the financial difficulties.

Chen Yizhong was also nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Is this really the case?"

"That's natural, otherwise why would I have brought you here? Isn't it just to solve this matter? You must know that if there is no public land law, then the court will really have no taxes. At that time, how can we fight against the Red Phoenix Army and the Mongols who may go south at any time and anywhere?"

Jia seemed to reply angrily, but he seemed to be very great, and he was not as incompetent as before.

Chen Yizhong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked again: "Then dare to ask the prime minister, why does Cheng Yuanfeng oppose it? No matter how he objects, there must be a reason." ”

"Well, to be honest, I don't know. I only know that this guy doesn't care about anything, so he directly opposes the public land law, and no matter how much I persuade him, he refuses to stop there. Jia Rudao shook his head helplessly, a little annoyed.

This time, he didn't know what was going on, and many of his subordinates also directly turned against the water and threw themselves into Cheng Yuanfeng's command.

In this way, even if he is still the prime minister, I am afraid that he will be hollowed out by that guy at that time, and he will not have any power.

Thinking of how lonely he would look at that time, Jia Yidao felt scared.

Chen Yizhong thought about it and asked again: "Since this is the case, can you let me go and see what went wrong with the Gongtian Law." Is that okay?"

"Well, of course. But you can't delay too long, you know?" Jia Yidao commanded, but he was afraid that Chen Yizhong would come into contact with more things because of this, and like others, he would directly devote himself to the other party's command.
