Chapter 770 The Emperor's Routine
"What a shameless group of people!"
Zhao Shu had already received the report, and all the officials ran to the Political Affairs Hall and forced several husbands to come forward. I have to say that this is a masterpiece.
In the current political affairs hall, Prime Minister Bao Zheng, although he has a good relationship with Wang Ning'an, the old man has always been in the same way as others and will never shelter the guilty.
The second prime minister Wang Anshi was not the same as Wang Ning'an, and he offended too many officials because of the reform. I think he would not offend all officials for this matter.
As for Sima Guang, although he is Wang Ning'an's disciple, he is slick and unreliable. After all, he is in trouble.
If the Zhengshi Hall really comes to ask for the crime, Zhao Shu will be very careful and he can only keep peeking at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen leaned on the dragon bed, without saying a word, as if he had entered into meditation.
After a long time, Zhao Shu was sweating on his forehead, and Zhao Zhen yawned, as if he had just woken up. He was muttering: "I'm old and fell asleep as soon as I said I was asleep. This body is really not good."
The old emperor raised his head and said blankly: "Son, is there anything wrong?"
Zhao Shu was bleeding, my dear father!
The sky is about to collapse, why are you still as stable as Mount Tai?
Zhao Shu was depressed, but he couldn't lose his composure, so he could only say aggrievedly: "I just handed over a sign to ask for a meeting."
"Oh, let him in."
Zhao Shu became even more anxious. He really doubted whether his father was confused. He really didn't need a little strategy and just met people directly? Dad, would you give me a reassurance?
Zhao Shu was so aggrieved that he was about to cry, and Zhao Zhen said slowly: "If you retreat behind the screen, your father will have his own opinions."
With this sentence, Zhao Shuru received a general amnesty and quickly ran behind the screen. As soon as he entered, Bao Zheng brought several husbands to the bedroom.
Bao Zheng is older, with white hair on his head. After saluting, he stood there trembling and trembling, looking older than Zhao Zhen.
"Come to move a seat for Bao Qing."
Zhao Zhen smiled and pointed to his reading glasses, and said to Bao Zheng: "I can only see a group of figures, and I can't see Bao Qing's appearance clearly, but I know that your health is not good either!"
Hearing this, Bao Zheng's voice trembled and sighed: "Old cow and old horse are unbearable to drive. The old minister submitted several times to request retirement. I hope Your Majesty will be able to make a promise as soon as possible and let the old minister return to his homeland and live his life."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Bao Qing, the people often say that clothes are not as good as new people, but for me, clothes are good, and people are good too! My eyes are blurred, I can't tell the difference between the old and the old, nor can I see the real or the fake... Only you old ministers, I know it in my heart, and I feel at ease when using it. You can't give up on me!"
Bao Zhengming felt the five-eyed inner world, and his eyes were red. "The saint was so proud that the old minister could only repay his death. He would not mention the matter of retirement, and would never mention it again."
...
After talking about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers for a long time, Bao Zheng said, "Report to the saints, a large group of people ran to the Political Affairs Hall, and they all asked the Political Affairs Hall for help."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhao Zhen asked with concern, as if he really didn't know anything.
"Your Majesty, this is true. Some people spread rumors these days, causing stock market fluctuations, and many people have suffered heavy losses... They believe that those who manipulate the stock market will affect military and national affairs, and their intentions are punished and should be severely punished!"
"Oh, since that's the case, then just check it out, I just need to see the result."
Zhao Zhen said this, but he choked several people.
What are you looking for? It’s true that Foyin was captured.
But who dares to ask?
Which of the people from the Political Affairs Hall is not an old fox?
I asked for confession, saying that you were so reproached, but I couldn't ask for confession, saying that you were framed innocent people.
Now Foyin has become a hot potato. If you are unwilling to let it go, something will happen sooner or later.
If Foyin really says something, it would be a death!
Who is Wang Ning'an?
Who can touch the super hero who has just opened up the Hexi Corridor and expanded the land for thousands of miles?
Who is Zhao Shu?
The crown prince who is about to succeed the throne, who is impatient to live and fight against the future emperor?
This case cannot be investigated at all, but the officials have suffered so much loss, and they are full of resentment. If they don’t give them an explanation, they will never have peace.
The Political Affairs Hall is stuck in the middle, which is really difficult.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that financial fluctuations are not trivial matters, but they are still much worse than pursuing the Western Regions. This financial fluctuation has influenced many people's enthusiasm for investing in the Western Regions, and spreading rumors randomly, which also has an impact on the court. The old minister thinks that he should give an explanation to all officials, and then encourage everyone as soon as possible to develop the Western Regions and transport gold and white jade back. Your Majesty is very concerned about reforming the currency system and issuing gold coins. The achievements of the eternal ones are only in front of you, and you cannot lose the big ones because of the small ones... The old minister talks nonsense, and asks Your Majesty to make a judgment."
After all, he is an old world. Although he is not as good as those old foxes, Bao Zheng's skills are not weak.
He did not talk about right and wrong, but talked about developing the Western Regions and the overall situation. Even Zhao Zhen listened to it and nodded frequently.
"I have the intention of the country that Bao Qing plans."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu behind the screen was shocked and almost screamed. He quickly covered his mouth and continued to listen.
"Bao Qing, I will listen to you how you should explain to all officials."
These people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was pretty good, he didn't mess around and was quite reasonable. Bao Zheng glanced at Sima Guang, "Junshi, tell Your Majesty the meaning of the Political Affairs Hall."
"yes!"
Sima Guang stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Political Affairs Hall believes that spreading rumors and maliciously disrupting the stock and bond markets, the proceeds should be fraudulent, and they should be recovered, returned to the original owner, and the transactions will be cancelled... In addition, some people slandered the heroes of the court, saying that the King of Xiliang died in battle and shook the morale of the army, and were not a good person. They should be held accountable and punished!"
Note that Sima Guang's words only talk about punishment, which means that you will be finished with a warning. The prince is half of the king, and we are not qualified to argue. Anyway, it is a royal matter, so it is natural to be a father to teach his son a lesson.
Zhao Zhen pondered for a long time and said, "Bao Qing, Wang Qing, and Han Qing, what do you mean?"
Wang Anshi said: "Sage, I think that as long as you recover illegal gains, you should be able to soothe people's hearts."
Han Jiang also said: "Your Majesty, as an official, you should put the court first. I think they will understand the hard work of the saints and will not cause trouble."
Bao Zheng nodded, which was the same.
Obviously, all the officials knew that they could not go too far. Everyone took a step back and the matter would be over. They also couldn't wait to intervene in the Western Regions. After all, it would be a loss to not eat a bite of fat.
After hearing what the officials of the Zhengshitang said, Zhao Zhen thought seriously, "Okay, let's do it. Go down and tell all the officials that whoever suffered a lot of losses will report them, and then return the corresponding shares according to the list."
Sima Guang was shocked when he heard the last two words. The emperor knew everything! He just pretended to be confused!
Now the stock price is three times more expensive than before. The stocks I bought at 100,000 yuan are now worth 300,000 yuan! Zhao Zhen’s intention is to return only 100,000 yuan of stocks. In other words, he can only get one-third of the shares he had at the beginning... It’s so black!
But there is no way, who can make others the emperor?
For all officials, if they can make up holes without losing or making money, they should laugh. Moreover, the stocks seem to be able to continue to rise and they will not lose anything, so that's all.
The officials from the Political Affairs Hall breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye and left one after another.
As soon as they left, Zhao Shu ran out and rushed to the edge of his father's bed a few steps, with anxiety on his face.
"Father, you didn't say that you should use this money to develop the Western Regions and expand the imperial guards, so you can't give them!"
Zhao Zhen's face sank, "Hmph, you have taken such a big advantage, aren't you satisfied?"
"Of course I'm not satisfied!"
Zhao Shu was anxious and argued: "Father, those ministers often take out hundreds of thousands of guan, or even millions of guan... Where did they get so much money? They are not the people's wealth and money, and they are greedy for money. My sons don't believe it. Who can save such a big family business with their salary?"
Zhao Shu became more and more angry as he spoke, "These ministers relied on the privilege of tax exemption to annex land and traffic in goods. As long as they took out a name and used it as a dry stock, someone would give them money, which was easier to make money than the court! As a result, these people refused to give up, and they would run wherever there was no benefit, and they would be insatiable and despicable! It was obvious that they had no investment vision, and they would just listen to the wind and rain, and they should sell it randomly, and they deserved it if they lost money! Are they willing to accept the loss? Could it be that they were not even as good as gamblers?"
Of course, Zhao Shu was very angry. He had just figured out how to spend money, but his father changed his mind and had to return it to those people. Isn’t this cheating his son?
I want money, no way!
Let them do it, I want to see how they can treat me as the prince!
Zhao Shu was filled with righteous indignation and was angry at the bullfighting.
But my father Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed.
"Young son, is there any evidence for what you said just now?"
"The evidence...isn't this known to everyone?"
"Hahaha, you're still too tender." Zhao Zhen lowered his eyelids and said angrily: "My father is tired, so I have to take a look first. Go to the window and think about it carefully."
Zhao Shu was confused. What evidence, what evidence his father wanted... Evidence, evidence... He talked for a long time but still had no clue.
He wanted to ask for the godfather, but Zhao Zhen was already snoring.
At this moment, a little eunuch came in to report the news.
"Your Highness, the list has been sent by the Political Affairs Hall. Do you want to check it out?"
"List? Show me the list!"
Zhao Shu took it and glanced at it. The total number of 113 officials had the lowest investment of 30,000 to 50,000, and the most was 1.5 million guan. On average, there were 300,000 to 500,000 guan!
If the bond part is added, these people will spend more than 7 million guan. It’s so rich!
Zhao Shu suddenly saw that behind everyone's name, there were signs and seals, blood-red seals... Ah! He suddenly opened his mouth wide and exhaled my god, isn't this evidence?
Father, you are so awesome!
