Chapter Thirty-ninth National Thief(1/2)
Zhao Xu thought about it all over the place, only one person, Zhang Fangping.
So after nightfall, Zhang Fangping was secretly summoned to the palace. This matter could not be done during the day, just in case it happened.
But even if it is done during the day, it won’t happen.
However, Han Qi's counterattack scared Zhao Xu, and he was really worried.
After hearing this, Zhang Fangping was also very worried that even if Zhao Xu drafted the edict and wrote it himself, the edict might not be able to overthrow Han Qi. Maybe Han Qi would not fall from the throne with a counterattack, but he would inevitably be demoted.
Zhao Xu said: "Qi Zhi cannot be taken away."
Don't worry, Han Qi really wants to do this time.
This persuaded Zhang Fangping, but Zhang Fangping said again: "Your Majesty, if you want to be safe, you should use the two towns of Jiecheng and then use the Xu Mansion to show that you will reuse it, so that you can succeed."
Han Qi must be given enough face, steps, and some thoughts, otherwise it will be very dangerous for everyone to write an edict. "No" and "Wrong"
"You are very honest," said Zhao Xu.
No matter what, even if you add the three towns, the problem is not big, so you have to get this person down first. Then Zhao Zhen asked again: "What position should I be awarded?"
"In the opinion of the minister, he should be appointed as the governor of Zhen'an Wusheng, guard the Situ, prosecutor the Grand Tutor and the Shizhong, and then judge Xiangzhou, and Gong Han will definitely ask for permission."
Zhao Xu scratched his head and asked, "Is this position light? Can you still add it?"
Zhang Fangping is about to fall, and the two Jiedus will not mention it. There are also Situ, the chief magistrate, and the Shizhong, who are all first-class and noble positions. Just salary and various benefits, the annual income will be as high as 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. How can I add it?
"It should be OK."
Zhang Fangping issued an edict.
Zhao Xu took a few steps. Han Qi had to let someone go. Wu Kui, otherwise Wu Kui would be the inner supporter. Maybe Han Qi would be resurrected again. Let this person go, and then Zhang Fangping and Zhao Yan enter the Secretariat, so that the political situation can be smoothly transitioned.
Of course, this edict cannot be drafted by Zhang Fangping himself.
So he thought about it again and finally thought of someone. Zheng Xie, who is very brave and dared to speak, and has expressed dissatisfaction with Zhongshu many times.
Sima Guang wrote a letter to impeach Zhao Xu and did not use an eunuch to visit the minister's strengths, but would it be okay if he didn't ask? If he didn't ask, Zhao Xu would not even find a person who wrote the edict now.
Zhao Xu immediately secretly summoned Zheng Xu to the palace, and then wrote an edict to demote Wu Kui to Qingzhou. As for what Jie Cheng was, Wu Kui could not think about it. He then drafted an edict to let Zhang and Zhao serve as the political affairs of the governor.
After the two of them finished writing the edict, Zhao Xu gave them two candles and sent the eunuchs to send them to the Hanlin Courtyard for rest. Don’t go back, for fear of leaving and revealing the news.
The next day, the two imperial edicts were submitted.
Before everyone could react, the third edict came out again.
Chen Xu was demoted to Yuezhou.
He was a little unfair. Zhao Zhen wanted to use Wu Kui to restrain Han Qi, but Han Qi asked to use Chen Xu, so Zhao Xu did not believe Chen Xu. When Zhao Xu and Han Qi did not become enemies, the security army was vacant, and Zhao Xu asked Yang Ding to serve as the security army. Chen Xu did not expect anything else, because Zhong Yan surrendered a large leader of Hengshan, Xixia, Zhu Lingling, so he repeatedly advised the border ministers and generals not to cause trouble. Yang Ding was mentioned several times. Zhao Xu thought that Chen Xu was helping Han Qi and Yang Ding was the one he chose, so he had to be defeated.
Then he made Lu Gongbi the Privy Councilor, but Wen Yanbo did not express his opinion, which made Zhao Xu a little worried, so he asked Lu Gongbi to restrain Wen Yanbo. At the same time, he transferred the "loyal people" Han Jiang and Shao Kang to the Western Prefecture as Deputy Privy Councilor.
Faced with this change, Sima Guang was a little stunned. He couldn't go to Han Qi's house to persuade Han Qi, Mr. Han, you should fight back.
Therefore, let’s start with the border affairs. If Xixia pays tribute, he cannot tempt his traitors to promote border affairs.
What is the reason for this?
If Xixia is really honest, then there is another saying. But how did Xixia do it? It sent troops to the Song Dynasty to burn and kill, and came to coerce. The Liang family kept bribing it with silver bullets. If Xixia hadn't been too poor, the border men would have run away with the soft and hard force of Xixia. Even so, there were still some foreigners who defected to Xixia one after another. Xixia could be the first day of the first day, why couldn't the Song Dynasty do the fifteenth day?
Then the matter of light mud is thrown out. It is not that my ministers are in harmony. For the current plan, it is better to recruit talented people and take office according to the materials and take office to rank hundreds of positions. All merits must be rewarded, and all crimes must be punished, and common policies must be repaired. Select the supervisor, clarify the orders, and safeguard the people. Stop the floating expenses, eliminate the food and food, and implement the warehouse. Inquire about wisdom and strategy, examine the martial arts and bravery, and select generals and generals. Declare the class, cut off the wits and tricks, establish military laws. The materials are simple and sharp, and the weak are eliminated to train soldiers. Completely, sharply, change the hardships and fine equipment. After the hundreds of positions are promoted, the common affairs are cultivated, the people are safe, the warehouse is solid, the generals are selected, the military laws are established, the soldiers are trained, and the equipment is refined, and then the troops are raised. Only then can the four modernizations be realized will be done.
Zhao Xu didn't take it for a while, but what was Qingnihuai side? As a result, he became suspicious, but Sima Guang fooled him again. On the other hand, Gao Zunyu, Wang Zhong, Zhong Yan, and Yang Ding were not good things.
However, Zhao Xu was now thinking about discussing with Sima Guang. The edict was sent to the Han family. Han Qi had not left yet. His mind was trembling on Han Qi, so he said perfunctorily: "It's been rumoral by someone else."
Sima Guang then asked a question jumpingly: "Does Your Majesty know if Xue Xiang is a human being?"
The uncle was not a good thing anymore, so Zhao Xu had to say perfunctorily again: "It's not a priest, but he is very good at money and border affairs."
"He is good at Qiangu, but he may not be able to do anything."
Zhao Xu hum, he doesn't understand border affairs, you don't understand either! Of course, you can't argue now, you must spend it quietly. So Zhao Xu didn't say anything.
Sima Guang also said that Zhang Fangping was treacherous, greedy and obscene. Zhao Xu was unhappy and asked, "What is the truth?"
"I have seen it with my own eyes."
What is this? But Sima Guang was not a lie. Zhang Fangping did cheat him on the seal report. Wouldn’t the person who cheated him be a little traitor? Zhao Xu was even more displeased and said, “Every time there is an appointment, everyone’s words are spoken a lot, which is not a good thing for the court.”
"This is a beautiful matter of the court. It is difficult for Emperor Yao to know people. Besides, if Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, if you use evil and the censors silently, how can you know it?"
Zhao Xu finally got angry and asked: "Does Wu Kui be affiliated with the prime minister?"
I will use Zhang Fangping, you humming. I have a fighting spirit with Han Qi!
But Zhao Xu underestimated Sima Guang's skin thickness. Sima Guang said calmly: "I don't know."
Zhao Xu asked again: "Who is virtuous to marry the master of the people, and who is virtuous to marry the prime minister?"
Are you my minister or Han Qi’s minister?
Sima Guang replied again: "Those who make a treacherous evil with the prime minister are evil, but want to cater to others and obey the leader's tendency and obey is also evil."
Anyway, it's his reason.
Zhao Xu was so angry that he closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Then he was defeated Han Qi's followers, and Guo Kui's official position was dismissed and sentenced to Yunzhou. However, later Zhong Yan and Lu Sheng finally split, so they were moved to Yanzhou again, but the officials he had taken away together.
Then Sima Guang was transferred back to the Hanlin Academy to serve as a Hanlin Bachelor. This guy could not be in the Censorate.
However, this adjustment was done and the matter was urgently followed. Both edicts were written overnight and were immediately executed the next day. Therefore, a procedure was missed by the granting of the order, but it was not passed by the Yintai Department. So under Sima Guang's persuasion, Lu Gong, who was in charge of the Yintai Department, said that this was invalid and I would like to implement the right to refute.
Why use Zhang Fangping? It is to lead the Secretariat. This is a crucial move, and it cannot be a big deal. Once the general starts, someone will say that Han Qi's life-removal is invalid, which is a big trouble. Zhao Xu had no choice, so he ordered Sima Guang to be Sima Guang. In the past, Sima Guang was the imperial teacher, but Zhao Xu did not believe in Sima Guang very much, so he did not open the Erying Pavilion, which means that Sima Guang, the imperial teacher, has a name but is unreal. Now I want to open the Erying Pavilion. You are a bachelor's student. If you have anything to say, you can discuss it with me day and night. Use this to exchange for Sima Guang's concessions.
This is the real method.
Sima Guang took advantage of this trend and gained another great benefit for himself. What other benefits are there in the world than brainwashing the emperor every day?
Seeing Zhao Xu's handwritten edict, Sima Guang was satisfied and said without saying a word. Lu Gongzhu said in great cooperation. The imperial edict was not allowed to be subject to our company, and the post of refutation was abolished because of his ministers. Zhao Xu had to personally approve his memorials again. When Erying was opened, he should tell me my wishes. Don't worry, I keep my word and let Sima Guang be the real imperial tutor. So Lu Gongzhu stopped talking.
Han Qi was right now, and Zhao Xu cried. How sad it was, God knows! Han Tian also shed tears and thanked him. Thank you, God knows!
The tears are not taken seriously, but this is also a statement. I will not do anything to you, and I will not hate Your Majesty.
Zhao Xu issued another edict, allowing Han Qi to enter and exit the two palaces in Xiangzhou to be ceremonial guards, and also granted a luxury house in Xingdaofang as the private house of the Han family, and promoted his son Han Zhongyan as the secret hall manager.
This time it's OK.
Han Qi then left the capital and went to Xiangzhou.
…………
"Mother, Han Qi is gone."
"This is the best." Gao Taotao said. Although Han Qi left Zhongshu, his salary doubled. He didn't care about the money. This way, he was able to hand over the power smoothly is Gao Taotao's favorite.
After all, once it is time to really tear apart, even Gao Taotao will feel heartbroken. What if?
Gao Taotao said again: "Imperial son, this is also a lesson. Why did the ancestors repeatedly say that different theories are disturbed? Therefore, even when Ding Wei was in control of the great power, Empress Dowager Zhang Xian could easily take it down."
Yes, Liu E easily took Ding Wei, but who is Liu E? This woman is kind-hearted, otherwise she would have to be Wu Zetian and might be able to succeed.
"The mother's teachings are correct."
"Since Han Qi is leaving, the emperor must govern the country with peace of mind."
"Don't worry, my mother, but the emperor has a sealed song here."
Zhao Xu handed Wang Ju's memorial to Gao Taotao.
“When did this be written?”
"In the spring, when he returned to Beijing from Bashu to report his work, he discussed the national affairs with his sons. He said something at that time, and later added it and wrote this secret memorial."
"So it was his idea for the South?"
"The thin quilt covered by the mother Queen in spring is made of woven with the kind of equipment that removes seeds and bounces."
"He is a little clever, but if you want to execute it, the emperor must be cautious." Gao Taotao said, put down the memorial and asked: "The injunction is so unbearable?"
"In the Battle of Dashun City, Wang Ju was on the front line and even rushed to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so it should be clearer."
"How did our ancestors use imprisoned troops to pacify the world?"
"The forbidden soldiers at that time were a army of war. Now, the forbidden soldiers have not been accustomed to fighting for a long time and have been peaceful for a long time. They are inevitably infected with many bad habits in the capital."
"Dry beards and thick."
"Wang Qing said the same thing."
Because Wang Ju spoke very carefully in the memorial and explained the various interests clearly, the national finances were so difficult, Gao Taotao no longer rejected them. But she did not find the problem of her son's impatientness, but Zhao Xu did not realize Sima Guang's methods and dangers.
Then start executing.
Wang Ju's memorial was written very carefully, such as the layoffs, and he stated that the beginning of the layoffs was because Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne, and some supported him, but some opposed him. Therefore, if you want to implement it, you have to change the method.
If you want to lay off troops, you will increase your troops first!
So Zhao Xu had a brief conversation with Gao Taotao and issued another edict to increase troops.
This is Wang Ju's strategy.
