North Song

Chapter 181: Please stop six!

Views:

Kou Zhun now has the right to reign. He does not need to report or pass the message when he enters the palace. He can enter the palace at any time.

Kou Ji pushed Kou Zhun across the Jinshui Bridge. Kou Zhun just snorted. Zhu Neng immediately opened the palace gate from the inside and welcomed Kou Zhun in.

Outside Jinshuiqiao.

Li Di, Wang Zeng, and Wang Shu got together and put aside Wang Qinruo, who had rushed over for friendship.

It stands to reason that even if the officials of the same dynasty have grievances, they will not be on the face. When they are in front of others, they will show a harmonious appearance.

It is possible that Li Di, Wang Zeng, Wang Shu and others undisguisedly show that they hate a person, which shows how bad this person is and how bad his character is.

Wang Qinruo was left to the side, and was not angry. Instead, he smiled and arched his hands at the three of Li Di, and then went to find other officials for friendship.

Inside the Donghua Gate.

Kou Ji pushed Kou Zhun as soon as he started, and Zhu Neng leaned forward and said with a smile: "Kou Gong, the hour has not come, you might as well rest here for a while. The humble job asked him to set up a tent at the gate of the city. There are hot dishes and soup prepared by Humble Job, you can eat some."

Kou Zhun had no response when he heard this.

Kou Ji was secretly surprised.

Zhu Nengneng risked being punished and set up a private tent in the palace to let Kou Zhun rest, which shows his loyalty to Kou Zhun.

If Kou Zhunzhen waved his hand and said lightly, if he wanted to change the name of Bianjing City, it is estimated that Zhu Neng would not be ambiguous.

Kou Zhun glared at Zhu Neng and yelled: "The old man transferred you into the palace to allow you to guard the imperial city, not to let you slacken your beard and horses. Keep the imperial city well and don't fix these imaginary ones."

When Zhu Neng heard the words, instead of being angry, he nodded his head vigorously: "Kou Gong is right. He immediately changed his humble position, immediately changed..."

Hearing this, Kou Zhun nodded in satisfaction, and then asked Kou Ji to push him straight to the Chugong Hall.

On the way, Kou Zhun asked Kou Ji, "Do you think that Zhu Neng, a general, is too humble in front of the old man?"

Kou Ji nodded seriously: "A little bit..."

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "That's because he treats the old man as a father, not as a prime minister."

After a pause, Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and said, "You may not believe this, but it is the truth. When the old man first saw him, the old man was not the prime minister, nor was he a general."

In other words, Zhu Neng respected him and respected him, not because of his status or his power.

He simply regarded him as an elder.

Kou Zhun sighed: "He respects the old man as his father, but the old man cannot regard him as a son."

When Kou Ji heard the words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he sighed: "There is a difference between civil and military..."

Kou Zhun nodded slowly and said, "The difference between civil and military is like a moat."

Kou Zhun smiled at Kou Ji: "You can call him Uncle Zhu, the old man is very pleased. This shows that you did not underestimate him because of his status as a warrior."

Kou Ji said earnestly: "The grandson doesn't see who he is, but only sees the relatives."

Hearing this, Kou Zhun laughed and said, "You are easy to be nepotism. This is a shortcoming and needs to be corrected."

Kou Ji smiled and said: "It's hard to change..."

Kou Zhun's expression changed, and he said seriously: "It's hard to change and you have to change. After today, your robes will be changed to vermilion. After putting on vermilion robes, you are a heavy court minister, and you can do everything in every move. It may be related to the lives of millions of people, so don't be careless."

Kou Ji heard the words and laughed in a low voice: "Thank you for your grandfather's teaching..."

The grandfather and grandson were talking and arrived at the Chui Gong Hall.

In the hanging arch hall, only a group of eunuchs and Gong E were present.

On the right side next to the dragon chair in the middle, there is an extra seat, which is for Liu E to sit on.

On the left side of the second floor, there is also a seat, which is set for Kou Zhun to sit.

Kou Zhun asked Kou Ji to push him to the second step and helped him sit in his special seat, but did not let Kou Ji go out, but let Kou Ji push the wheelchair and stand at the entrance of the temple. .

This can be regarded as Kou Zhun opening a small back door to Kou Ji.

With Kou Ji's current rank, even if he was in the upper court, he was not qualified to appear in the temple. He could only wait outside the temple. Without summons, he didn't even have the right to speak.

Kou Zhun allowed Kou Ji to stay in the temple, which gave Kou Ji a qualification to speak at any time in the court.

The grandfather and grandson waited not long in the temple.

The bell on the imperial city outside the temple was rang.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, the hundreds of officials entered the Donghua Gate and walked all the way to the Chugong Hall. Then, according to their ranks, they found their positions and waited.

The officials in the hall were wearing either purple official uniforms or vermilion official uniforms.

Kou Ji was dressed in a tortoise green official uniform, which was very conspicuous in the hall.

Many people saw him, but no one spoke, and no one paid attention to him.

The thoughts of the hundreds of officials are all on Liu E, so there is no time to pay attention to him.

After the hundred officials stood still, Guo Huai, who had been staying in the hall, looked at the hourglass, pinched the time, waited until the time for the upper court was up, and shouted loudly.

"Go up!"

"Greetingly welcome the official family, welcome the empress dowager..."

In the welcoming voices of the hundreds of officials, Liu E led Zhao Zhen slowly from the back of the hall to the front of the hall.

Liu E helped Zhao Zhen to sit down on the dragon chair. After Zhao Zhen sat down, she sat down on the chair beside Zhao Zhen.

"Official Saint Ann!"

"The Empress Dowager Saint Ann!"

"..."

"Sheng Gong'an!"

After the ceremony, Zhao Zhen waved his small hand and said something.

Baiguan slowly straightened up.

Zhao Zhen scowled and said, "Xuanzhao..."

Chen Lin took a copy of the edict and handed it to Guo Huai. Holding the edict, Guo Huai read the edict for a long time until the last sentence was reached.

"Change Yuan Tiansheng... Qin here."

Since then, the name of Tianxi has become a past tense.

Tiansheng became the new reign.

It marks a new beginning, and it also marks an emperor, a true king over the world.

After Guo Huai read the edict, the officials all bowed and saluted.

Zhao Zhen still had a small face, and said, "Re-announce..."

The second edict is the edict for the tomb of Zhenzong.

The tomb of Zhenzong was named Yongding.

In the future, as long as the people mentioned Yongding Mausoleum, they would know that it was the tomb of Zhenzong.

After reading the second edict, there is a third one behind it.

The third edict contains the edict on the treatment of the concubines of Zhenzong Zhao Heng.

Now that the days of helping Zhao Heng keep the spirits gone, Zhao Heng's unapproved concubines must naturally give an explanation to the officials and the people.

After reading the third edict, Zhao Zhen deliberately announced the fourth edict, but Liu E stopped him.

The fourth edict is an edict to reward Kou Ji.

Kou Ji helped the first emperor to keep his spirits, and his filial piety was commendable, and he naturally had to be rewarded, which was inevitable.

Otherwise it is not enough to reflect the importance of guarding the spirit of the first emperor.

The reason why Liu E stopped the edict and didn't let Guo Huai read it was because the edict that was rewarded to him as Kou Ji was not enough to compare with the previous three-point edict.

So she meant to read it out when the dynasty was pressed down.

Three edicts were read out.

Guo Huai yelled, "If something happens, let's retreat if nothing happens..."

As soon as the voice fell, the gang of officials who had been waiting for the forty-nine day immediately had someone out of duty, ready to bomb Liu E.

However, before he could speak, he heard an unusually high-pitched voice ringing in the hanging arch hall.

"Chen Kouji, I have something to play!"

Kou Ji was yelling, and his voice suddenly covered the Chuggong Hall.

The eyes of everyone in the Chui Gong Hall suddenly fell on Kou Ji.

Those officials who were preparing to impeach Liu E looked at Kou Ji's eyes full of anger.

They felt that Kou Ji jumped out at this time to add chaos.

Zhao Yuanyan and Wang Qinruo looked at Kou Ji with joy. They knew what Kou Ji was going to say.

Doctor Yushi ignored the etiquette, and in front of the civil and military fronts, he roared angrily: "You are just a small sixth-rank official, above this hall, how can you speak."

Before Kou Ji opened his mouth, Kou Zhun coughed twice.

Doctor Yu Shi heard Kou Zhun's cough, gritted his teeth and closed his mouth.

The reason why Kou Zhun coughed was to remind him that the reason why Kou Ji dared to speak in the hall was because of his grandfather.

Seeing that Kou Ji had something to play, Liu E was not angry, but urged, "If there is anything important, let me talk about it quickly."

She very much hoped that Kou Ji could tell a major event that would allow her to escape the condemnation of the officials.

Kou Ji slowly walked to the hall, drew out his memo from his cuff, and handed it to Guo Huai, who was approaching.

When Guo Huai sent Kou Ji's memorial to Zhao Zhen, Kou Jilang said: "Couriers please stop six!"

"Wow!"

The pot was exploded in the Suigong Hall in an instant.

The officials of the six ministries stared at Kou Ji with staring eyes.

Shang Shulinte, the Ministry of Industry, who had not been in power for a long time, snorted and said: "Kou Ji, you are also in the sixth department, but you want to dismiss the sixth department. Do you think that the sixth department can't accommodate you, or do you feel that you are not worthy of the sixth official?"

Lint spoke, but Kou Zhun didn't cough.

It's not that he doesn't want to cough, but that he can't deter Lint.

Lint is also one of the five ghosts of the Northern Song Dynasty mentioned above.

This person has a good relationship with Ding Wei, and the two are embarrassed, and they are mixed up in the court.

If it wasn't for the poor body, maybe he could still get a place in the inner court.

Now that Ding Wei voted for Liu E, he naturally also voted for Liu E.

He is now Liu E's person, so he is not afraid of Kou Zhun.

Kou Ji bowed his hand to Lint and said, "It is precisely because the lower officials serve in the sixth department that the idea of quitting the sixth department was born."

Lin Te snorted heavily, and yelled: "Then you are talking about what makes you uncomfortable with the six parts, and it gave birth to the idea of quitting the six parts."

Kou Ji nodded, bowed his hand to the Manchu civil and military, and said: "The six are useless in the country. If you don't give up the six, leaving it will only become a scourge to the court."

Without waiting for Lint to refute, Kou Ji continued: "Taizu imitated the Tang system in the past years and kept six of them in order to appease the surrendered ministers. However, after these years, those surrendered ministers have now become naturalized. My people of Da Song.

Now there are no more ministers within the six departments, and the six departments have lost their original role.

The officials of the six ministries are now useless except for their salary.

Regarding rituals, the court has envoys in charge of rituals, and the Ministry of Ritual has no room to intervene.

Regarding officials, the court has three divisions and a penal division. The officials have no effect on the court.

Looking at the four ministries of households, soldiers, criminals, and labor, they have no effect on the court.

The functions and powers of the various ministries are either in the hands of the Third Division, or the Criminal Division and Sanya.

After careful calculation, the officials of the six ministries are useless except for eating and waiting to die. "

"Asshole!"

When the officials of the six ministries heard Kou Ji's words, they yelled one by one.

Kou Ji said neither overbearing nor overbearing: "You may find my words unsatisfactory, but what I said is the truth. Not only are the six works useless to the court, they are a great evil to the court.

The six parts are the most useless yamen of the imperial court, and this is a thing known to both the government and the public.

However, officials from the six ministries accounted for half of the court.

The imperial court has raised a bunch of useless officials, and the salary to be issued every year is as high as two million. "

The two million consistent figures really shocked the Manchu civilization.

Someone who understands the number of words secretly gritted their teeth, sighing that Kou Ji is bold and dared to open the pot.

Some people who did not understand this number were shocked when they heard this number.

But more people have no expressions on their faces, standing still in silence.

Kou Ji continued: "What can two million guns do? It can rebuild the Yellow River dam near Bianjing City, and save Bianjing City from flooding. It can make the people of the Li people who have been affected by the disaster in the world fill their stomachs by eating chaffy vegetables. It can help the court raise a force of no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses for eight years.

But the money was not used to rebuild the dam, nor was it used for disaster relief, nor did it help the court to raise soldiers and horses.

Instead, they raised a group of idlers.

A bunch of idlers useless to the court.

If it is only raised for one or two years, I may not say anything.

Because the imperial court is always willing to spend money in recruiting talents, so that it can recruit talents for the imperial court.

But this is not a year or two.

The imperial court had raised it for 59 years before, but I don’t know how many years to raise it afterwards.

In the previous 59 years, how much money did the imperial court spend to raise idlers

Eleven thousand and eighteen million pens.

It is equivalent to the royal court's tax for one and a half years.

In other words, for fifty-nine years since I established the Great Song Dynasty, one and a half years of it was busy to feed idlers.

Earlier, it had spent 118 million to raise idlers for fifty-nine years. After that, should we spend more money to raise more idlers? "

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked at the number of 118 million pens, and they were silent.

Kou Ji shouted with a grim expression: "So, what use does the court want six books? Keeping six books will not help the court, but will become a burden to the court.

If everyone follows suit, then the Manchu dynasty civil and military will forget to serve the country, and they will be thinking of emptying their salaries and not working.

Then the country will not be a country!

Although I Kou Ji is an official of the six ministries and enjoys the benefits of receiving salary, I must expose this evil government and let the court see the disadvantages of this evil government.

The first emperor was kind to me, and I had to report it to Kou Ji.

I can't even watch the country fail.

If we don't expose this bad government, the royal government pays the salary, I Kou Ji is holding a hot hand. "

Facing Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji bowed his hand and said in a loud voice: "So, the minister, dare to ask the official, stop the six!"
