With the temperament of two eldest princesses, after seeing Zhao Zhen ousting a first-class duke for them, he still had to shake up completely. Then, he would inevitably use the royal name to do more things that anger and grievances. .
When the grievances between the ruling and the opposition formed a wave, Zhao Zhen would be able to clean up them.
Zhong Shiheng figured out the joints, did not say much, arched his hands, and left Kou Mansion.
On the day that Zhong Shiheng left Kou Mansion, a major event happened in Xingqing Mansion.
Shi Heng, a newly promoted first-class public species, ran across the street and smashed into the frames of the two eldest princesses.
The two eldest princesses scolded Zhong Shiheng a few words, and Zhong Shiheng replied a few words.
Then the two eldest princesses cried and brought the matter to the front of the imperial court, and asked Zhao Zhen to come forward.
Harem of Xingqing Palace.
The two eldest princesses hid their faces in tears, and in front of Zhao Zhen accused Chong Shiheng of the crime.
Zhao Zhen couldn't bear the cry of the two of them. He rubbed his eyebrows and threw them to Empress Cao for comfort. He left the harem and went to the main hall.
Inside the main hall.
Zhong Shiheng stood bent.
After seeing Zhao Zhen, he hurriedly bowed and saluted him, Zhao Zhen gave him a sideways glance, and did not say much, and then stepped away from the main hall.
Zhong Shiheng stunned and froze in place, muttering in his heart.
"Could it be... I was deceived by Kou Ji?"
For a while, Chong Shiheng felt a little panicked.
My mind started to think wildly.
Zhao Zhen didn't know Shiheng's thoughts. Zhao Zhen had a gloomy face and left the main hall. Not long after he left, he heard Chen Lin report that Kou Ji had entered the palace.
Zhao Zhen immediately ordered Chen Lin to call Kou Ji in front of him.
Kou Ji saw Zhao Zhen. After the ceremony, before Zhao Zhen could speak, he whispered to Zhao Zhen: "Zhong Shiheng's service is weak..."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a while, staring at Kou Ji and said, "It was your idea to let him run into the two eldest princesses?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
The gloominess on Zhao Zhen's face was gone, replaced by a smile on his face, "Assuming that he is still a little loyal to Shiheng, if he waits until I am still in power, I will not accept it.
I will make him uncomfortable for a lifetime. "
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said, "The steps you helped him build are also wonderful."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Since the two eldest princesses feel that the official family has not given them enough prestige, let's give them enough prestige all at once."
"It kills two birds with one stone..."
Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile, and asked, "What conditions did Zhong Shiheng put forward?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "No conditions were mentioned, but the minister agreed to him and transferred him to Sanya as the palace commander."
Zhao Zhen slowly nodded and said, "He is free and easy. When he should let go, he will let go decisively, and he will not be muddled at all. It is not bad for me to worry about it."
"Fourth brother, let's wait a while in the side hall, until I have finished dealing with Chong Shiheng and the two big princesses, then come over and tell the fourth brother."
"..."
Kou Ji bowed, Zhao Zhen left Chen Lin to look after Kou Ji, and he returned to the main hall of Xingqing Palace alone.
Seeing Zhong Shiheng again, Zhao Zhen's face didn't have the indifference just now. Instead, there was a smile on his face. He stared at the cranky Zhong Shiheng, nodded, and exclaimed.
"You're not bad..."
Chong Shiheng, who was thinking wildly, felt calm when he heard Zhao Zhen's words.
"But... Kou Shu Mi entered the palace?"
Zhong Shiheng bowed and asked.
Zhao Zhen didn't hide it, and nodded with a smile.
Zhong Shiheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he no longer thought about it. He gave Zhao Zhen a deep salute and solemnly said: "It is incumbent to share the worries for the officials."
Zhao Zhen nodded and smiled: "I am so relieved that I will aggravate you later, and I hope you don't blame me."
Zhong Shiheng hurriedly said: "The minister understands..."
Zhao Zhen nodded, put away his smiling face, and ordered the two princesses to be invited to the main hall of Xingqing Palace.
Then, in front of the two great princesses, he lowered Chong Shiheng's first-class duke to second-class, and ordered Chong Shiheng to return to Beijing to report on his duties.
Zhong Shiheng's face was naturally pale, and he matched Zhao Zhen's performance.
When the two princesses saw Zhao Zhen's handling of Chong Shiheng in this way, they stopped crying, and one of them was satisfied with Titus.
After the two eldest princesses left Xingqing Palace, they publicized the matter.
They felt that Zhao Zhen was their nephew, and he was still protecting them. For them, he risked his grandfather and lowered the title of a first-class duke.
They just wanted to use this to tell the Manchu civil and military that they should be more respectful when meeting them in the future.
If they want to extort money, whoever should present it obediently.
Such as Kou.
After the Manchu civil and military officials learned of this, they were in an uproar.
They dispatched servants from the house to verify the matter.
After getting the affirmative answer, each one's mind is very complicated.
Each of them knew that Chong Shiheng was going to get cold, but they didn't expect Chong Shiheng to cool so quickly.
If Zhong Shiheng had fallen into other major events, they might be able to understand one or two things.
But when Chong Shiheng fell into the hands of the two eldest princesses, they couldn't understand.
For the sake of the face of the two princesses, a first-class duke was subordinated to the title. What Zhao Zhen did in this matter can be said to be very absurd.
However, the Manchu civil and military did not have the intention to write admonishment.
Because Zhao Zhen's move was only aimed at Chong Shiheng, not at the Manchu civilization.
Zhao Zhen aimed at Chong Shiheng, and the Manchu civil and military all knew about it.
Zhao Zhen used a little trouble to cast down the nobility of Chong Shiheng, and the Manchu civil and military can also understand it.
In the final analysis, Shiheng is not interested in himself.
Zhao Zhen's thoughts on him have become obvious to the passers-by. Chong Shiheng is still unwilling to subdue, and who does not punish you to punish
In addition to secretly gloating over the misfortune of Zhong Shiheng, the Manchu civil and military also had some ideas about Zhao Zhen's maintenance of the two eldest princesses.
The Manchu civil and military felt that Zhao Zhen might have plans to reuse the royal family.
really.
Within two days, the two eldest princesses entered the palace to seek jobs for their husbands and children and grandchildren. Zhao Zhen happily agreed and transferred them to the army to hold important positions.
Upon seeing this, the Manchu dynasty civil servants had a bad feeling in their hearts.
The relatives and relatives of the emperor were boiling because of this.
There are two examples of eldest princesses entering the palace to seek employment. Other relatives of the imperial family also entered the palace to seek employment from Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen agreed one by one.
Zhao Zhen's actions completely confirmed the speculation of the Manchu civil and military affairs.
Zhao Zhen is really reusing the royal family.
Ever since, the relatives of the imperial family became arrogant again.
Under Zhao Zhen's eyelids, they began to tentatively attack some small officials.
When things got to the front of the imperial court, Zhao Zhen all beat the small officials and small officials and defended the royal family.
The emperor's relatives and relatives repeatedly tried, and after repeated successes, they began to domineering one by one.
When Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji had arranged all the affairs of Xingqing Mansion, when Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were about to take the Manchu civil and military, and the relatives of the imperial family back to the court, the relatives of the imperial family had already caused many complaints.
On the occasion of parting.
Zhu Neng, Liu Heng, Wang Kai and others ran to the Kou Mansion in a panic.
The reason why they went to Kou Mansion was related to the relatives of the emperor.
Zhao Zhen arranged many relatives and relatives of the emperor to their hands, and they naturally felt uneasy in their hearts.
Kou Mansion.
After Zhu Neng, Liu Heng, Wang Kai and others got together, they all looked sad.
Kou Ji still rearranged the Northwest Soldiers and Horses' register with Zhao Zhen in the palace, but was not in the house.
So Zhu Neng and others can only wait.
Several people waited and talked.
Guo Yi said with a sad face: "Tell me, what do the officials think? It is very difficult for me to have the present day in Song Dynasty. The officials don't think about how to govern the world, but instead let the relatives of the emperor and the country come out to harm people.
The ruling and opposition parties were angry and complained up and down.
Isn't this... Isn't this... messing around. "
Wang Kai frowned and said, "Your subordinates are just the son of a county owner. Even if you harm people, you can't do much harm. I have three princess princes in my hands."
Liu Heng sighed, "I'm almost like you."
Zhu Neng yelled: "Can you compare with me? Among the royal family, the most ferocious princess Dengguo's staff are all under my hand."
Wang Kai looked sideways and said, "Chai Zongqing... I heard that this person is very unbearable..."
Zhu Neng said in a deep voice: "It's not just unbearable, it's simply unsightly. He is under my hands, and he is not a terrible disaster, and I will inevitably lift the tank for him when that happens."
Liu Heng took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "In fact, we are already pretty good. The worst thing is Chong Shiheng. He was transferred to Sanya. The three Yasam has the most relatives and relatives.
Li Zunxu, the eldest princess of Ji State, and their children were put into the sanya by the official family.
The sons of Shi, Wei, and Wang also entered the Sanya. "
Liu Heng mentioned the three families of Shi, Wei, and Wang, which were the husbands of the late Princess Hyunjing, the late Princess Gonghui, and the late Princess Hyunsu, the daughter of Emperor Taizu.
Xianjing, Gonghui, and Xiansu are the posthumous titles of the three late princesses, not titles.
Liu Heng mentioned the sons of Shi, Wei, and Wang, referring to the children and grandchildren of the three princesses.
Zhu Neng, Liu Heng and others have arranged one or two relatives of the emperor and country under their hands, which has already caused them a headache.
Under the command of Zhong Shiheng, a large number of relatives and relatives of the emperor have not been swallowed alive.
Wang Kai said solemnly: "The officials are now protecting them. They will not toss us to death when they come under our command. We have to find a way to transfer them away."
Zhu Neng nodded in agreement.
Liu Heng stared at Zhu Neng and said, "It stands to reason that you shouldn't have this kind of thought the last."
Zhu Neng said dissatisfied: "Why can't I have?"
Liu Heng said frankly: "Chai Zongqing enters the Privy Council to do things, and Prison Kou is in town. He dare not mess around."
Zhu Neng glared at Liu Heng and said, "Chai Zongqing entered the Privy Council, and he was the sergeant who was with me. If he comes to the Privy Council and the officials condemn the crime, do you think it will be condemned to Kou Shu Mi's head, or convict On my head."
Liu Heng froze for a moment, feeling that Zhu Neng was right.
If Chai Zongqing really made a mistake, and Zhao Zhen would find someone to lift the tank, Zhu Neng's greatest possibility would be.
It is impossible for Zhao Zhen to let Kou Ji help others to top the tank.
"We have to find a way to get them away as soon as possible... otherwise our official career will be over..."
Wang Kai solemnly said.
Zhu Neng said in a deep voice: "People are relatives of the emperor and the country, and there are officials to protect them. What can we do. Let's see if there is any way for Kou Mi. If there is no way for Kou Mi, then we shall retire as soon as possible.
The people of the province were scoured by them, and their name was stigmatized. "
Guo Yi whispered, "Why do we have a clean name?"
They are all a gang of killers, and the number of people killed can't be counted, and their names have nothing to do with them.
Zhu Neng glared at Guo Yi and shouted, "That's better than them!"
Guo Yi nodded in agreement: "That's also..."
Just as Zhu Neng's few people were frowning, Brigadier Kou Kou Tianci put his neck around his neck and walked over.
When Zhu Neng and others saw Kou Zhun, they hurriedly got up and saluted.
Kou Zhun took a look at them as he walked, his voice was not heavy or light, and said, "What are you doing here to my Kou Mansion in disheveled clothes? Isn't it scary?"
After hearing this, Zhu Neng and others looked at each other one by one, and there were indeed some people who were disheveled.
Zhu Neng smiled bitterly at Kou Zhun: "Kou Gong, we are also anxiously confused."
Kou Zhun said suspiciously: "Is it urgent? What's the urgent matter? Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu tore up the covenant he had just signed and called over?"
Zhu Neng couldn't laugh or cry: "It has nothing to do with the war, it is a matter of the court."
Kou Zhun was taken aback for a moment, and he thought: "Recently, the old man has heard about some things in Xingqing Mansion. You must be anxious for those imperial relatives dispatched to you?"
Zhu Neng and others nodded vigorously as if they had met a confidant.
Kou Zhun murmured, "What's the urgency... When they come to your office, they will behave nonsense, so you can let them behave nonsense. You can just play it according to the facts.
When it's time to pack them, someone will naturally pack them, and you don't have to worry about it. "
Zhu Neng and others smiled bitterly: "The official guards them, so who can get them."
Kou Zhun glanced at Zhu Neng and the others in disgust, and said to Kou Tianci who was riding on his neck: "Good grandson, let's go to play elsewhere and not talk to idiots... bother..."
Kou Zhun took Kou Tianci away, leaving Zhu Neng and others staring at each other.
Zhu Neng waits for you to see me, I see, I don’t know what to say.
After a long time.
Guo Yi hesitated and said: "Listening to Kou Gong, this matter is probably not as simple as we thought."
Wang Kai pondered: "Then what should we do?"
Zhu Neng said in a deep voice, "Gong Kou has no reason to harm us. Let's do what Kou Gong said. Kou Gong has been up and down in the court for decades. He naturally saw something and mentioned us a few words, but it's just our savvy. Not enough, I can't guess.
Since Duke Kou is unwilling to say anything, it means that this matter can only be understood and cannot be said. "
Liu Heng, Wang Kai and others pondered for a while, then nodded slowly.
Since I can't guess it, I can only do what Kou Zhun said.
After Kou Zhun's reminder, they all realized that there must be a big article behind this matter, which is definitely not as simple as what they saw.
Kou Zhun was unwilling to state the matter, so they found Kou Ji, and Kou Ji would probably not say it clearly. It is very likely that Kou Zhun made the same rhetoric.
Even so, they don't have to wait for Kou Ji in Kou Mansion.
Zhu Neng and others immediately found Kou Zhun, and after thanking Kou Zhun for his suggestion, they left Kou Mansion one after another.
After Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji had settled the millions of soldiers and civilians around the Xingqing Mansion separately, they ordered the Manchu civil and military, the emperor's relatives, and relatives to pack up and prepare to return to Beijing.
As Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji had previously expected, their monarch and his ministers in Xingqing Mansion and other places slightly moved the military system, which did not arouse any dissatisfaction.
One is the special reason of Xingqing Mansion and other places.
The second reason is that the relatives and relatives of the emperor have attracted everyone's attention.
After the imperial relatives and relatives who had been suppressed for a long time let go all at once, the level of brutality surpassed everyone's imagination.
Even Zhao Zhen, who was the instigator, sighed with emotion every day after reading the Wu Desi investigation documents handed over by Chen Lin.
Twenty of the first lunar month.
Zhao Zhen set off the guard of honor, took the Manchu civil and military, the emperor's relatives, the Tianwu army, and the upper and lower tiger wing army, left Xingqing Mansion, and went to Bianjing.
All the way along the official road, across the government and the county, after more than half a month, we arrived at Suide City.
When they arrived at Suide City, Zhao Zhen and others had to stop.
Because a gang of people risked their lives.
Had it not been for Zhao Zhen that when he saw the people rushing over, he instructed the Yuqianwei, Yulong Shizhizhi, Tianwu Army and other soldiers not to hurt the people without authorization, I am afraid that the people would be chopped into meat thousands of feet away from Longhu. mud.
The people risked their deaths and rushed to Zhao Zhen's Long Hu, and knelt all together.
One by one loudly complained about the crimes of Ma Chai Zongqing.
Chai Zongqing had been among the summoners before, and on the way back to Beijing, he had been riding a horse with him.
Along the way, he led the valiant servants tossing around.
Many civilian fields were destroyed along the way.
While waiting for places in Xiazhou.
He led people to destroy the fields, and the people did not say anything.
Because most of those fields were allocated to the soldiers by Kou Ji.
The soldiers received great favors from the court and were unwilling to make trouble for the court.
The soldiers were allocated enough fertile land, so even if Chai Zongqing led someone to destroy one or two acres of crops, the soldiers would not say anything.
But after arriving in Suide City, it was different.
Near Suide City, there are many mountains and forests and not many fertile fields.
Many people have only three or two acres of land in their homes, and one family lives by pointing to the crops on the three or two acres of land.
Chai Zongqing took the hero and destroyed their crops, which meant destroying their lives. They naturally couldn't tolerate it, and they came together with a mortal heart.
The complaints of the people spread all over Zhao Zhen and Long Hu. The Manchu dynasty, civil and military, relatives and relatives of the emperor, all surrounded them, ready to see how Zhao Zhen would deal with the matter.
After hearing the complaints of the people patiently, Zhao Zhen scolded Chai Zongqing for a few words, and then asked Chen Lin to distribute some money to the people to compensate them for their losses, and publicly made an order to the local government to save the people. We pay taxes for a year.
After the people got the money, they thanked Zhao Zhen for his kindness and left with their heads down.
Zhao Zhen gave the money and made up for their losses, but they were still unhappy in their hearts.
Because the wicked who destroyed their crops did not get the punishment they deserved.
Money can make up for their economic losses, but it cannot make up for their psychological losses.
After the people left, everyone took the matter so lightly.
Chai Zongqing thinks so too.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly delighted, feeling that Zhao Zhen really defends the royal man now, and if Zhao Zhen is irradiated in the future, he can do whatever he wants to do without restraint.
He once again moved his mind to blackmail the Mansion.
The annual harvest of forging steel workshops and textile workshops makes everyone in Bianjing jealous.
But, don't wait for him to make up his mind.
Without waiting for the Manchu civil and military to leave with complicated thoughts, someone spoke out.
"Chen Yushi Zhongcheng Wang will follow, there is something to play!"
Wang Sui, nearly fifty-year-old, from Henan, Zizheng, Jinshi of the Zhenzong Dynasty, Xi Buddhism, is currently a master of Yushitai Yushi in the Song Dynasty, and a bachelor of Hanlin, once served as the Mr. Zhao Zhen.
This person had some friendship with Zhou Huaizheng. After Zhou Huaizheng's rebellion, he was implicated and was demoted from the city of Bianjing.
After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, he remembered his gentleman, promoted one after another, and finally promoted him to the position of Yushi Zhongcheng.
Wang Sui opened his mouth, naturally attracting everyone's attention.
Originally planning to leave the Manchu dynasty, civil and military, and the relatives and relatives of the emperor stopped and looked at Wang Sui.
Wang Sui, who was Yu Shi Zhongcheng, spoke at this time again. Everyone knew what he was going to say.
Zhao Zhen, who was standing on Long Huo with both hands on his back, knew in his heart.
Zhao Zhen took a deep look at Wang Sui, and said in a deep voice, "Wang Sui, I'm tired, I want to rest, you can withdraw."
Zhao Zhen still admired Wang Sui very much.
During his tenure as his husband, Wang Sui did not follow the scripts as other gentlemen, but often told some short stories in the Dharma, in order to instill some principles of life in him.
Part of the kindness in Zhao Zhen's heart stems from Wang Sui's teaching.
Wang Sui rarely formed a party, and he did not have many old friends. Most of his best friends were Zen masters with advanced Buddhism. Although he was in the court, he lived more like a hermit.
Therefore, Wang Sui taught Zhao Zhen to be benevolent, and did not have too many other thoughts, but simply felt that everyone should be benevolent.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zhen is kind to Wang Sui.
He didn't want Wang Sui to be involved in this matter, and he didn't want Wang Sui to take a trip to the muddy water.
So he didn't want Wang to speak up.
However, Wang Sui was the censer, and seeing the relatives and relatives of the emperor oppress the people, he did not get the punishment he deserved. How could he pretend that nothing happened.
Wang Sui stared at Zhao Zhen and shouted loudly: "The official, Ma Chai Zongqing, this is not the first time to indulge his servants and destroy the fields of the people. The first emperor had dealt with him because of this when he was in the dynasty.
However, he did not change after repeated teachings, and once again committed the crime of destroying people's fields.
Does the official want to spare him lightly? "
Chai Zongqing gritted his teeth, wishing to strip Wang Suisheng alive, but he did not speak because he knew that someone would help him.
The woman who has a strong desire for control will definitely speak.
really.
As soon as Wang Sui’s words landed, Princess Dengguo yelled in a cold voice: "Wang Sui, the concubine just accidentally destroyed some crops, and the government has already repaid the people's money.
The officials gave them more than they planted in their fields.
The officials have already reprimanded the consort, which is regarded as punishment.
You stand up now, provoke trouble and delay the official's journey back to Beijing, what is your intention? "
