The relatives of the imperial family looked different when they heard the words.
Some were trembling with excitement, and some were pale.
The reason why the emotions of Manchu civil and military forces fluctuated with the relatives of the emperor was because they were worried that Zhao Zhen would use the same tricks on them after seeing Zhao Zhen's cruel hand to the relatives of the emperor.
After all, Zhao Zhen has been so cruel to his own people, and it is naturally impossible to be kind to outsiders like them.
The government decrees implemented by Zhao Zhen benefited some of the emperor's relatives.
For the Manchu civil and military, it is all beneficial.
Zhao Zhen's move not only urged them to be enterprising, but also urged them to work hard to teach their younger generations, urge their younger generations to become talents quickly, and strive to continue their wealth.
After three generations, the relatives of the imperial family will not be successful, and it is very likely that they will lose power, but they will certainly keep some wealth.
However, if the Manchu dynasty civil and military, especially the civil servants, fail to become a weapon for three generations, it is very likely that they will be reduced to a poor family and be wiped out among the people.
Of course, not everyone is satisfied with Zhao Zhen's decree.
Some of the military ministers who used the contributions of their ancestors to replace their wealth and honor, and some of the civil servants who used their ancestors to make up for their official duties, disagree with Zhao Zhen's decree.
However, Chai Zongqing's corpse was lying there, and the sword that killed Chai Zongqing was held in Zhao Zhen's hand. They really didn't dare to make a noise with Zhao Zhen at this time.
"Official Shengming!"
Lu Yijian spoke first and gave Zhao Zhen a hand.
Then the civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty spoke together and praised Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen did not smile at the compliments of the Manchu civil and martial arts. He stared at the emperor's relatives and said: "One by one, go to the Criminal Ministry to collect crimes."
The relatives and relatives of the imperial family bowed together, replied, and withdrew from the hanging arch hall.
Zhao Zhendian sent two officials from the Criminal Ministry to follow.
After the emperor's relatives left.
The civil and military of the Manchu dynasty seemed to have won a big battle, and their faces showed unprecedented joy.
After Zhao Zhen brainlessly protected the emperor's relatives and relatives for a few months, they followed suit for a few months.
Now that the relatives and relatives of the emperor have been thoroughly rectified, the grievances that were pressing on their hearts have finally disappeared.
When their eyes fell on Zhao Zhen's face, they found that Zhao Zhen's expression was still cold.
Manchu Wenwu's heart jumped.
They immediately remembered that the case of Chai Zongqing not only involved Chai Zongqing alone, but also involved many courtiers.
Chai Zongqing's crime has nothing to do with them, but the courtiers who were involved have a real relationship with them.
Zhao Zhen slowly spoke under the gaze of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, "You have been yelling for several months to let me deal with my family. Now my family, I have dealt with it. Should I deal with you?"
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stared at Zhao Zhen one by one, without speaking.
Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Two million seven hundred thousand yuan of military salaries are being greeted, the amount is so large, so many officials are implicated, and there is no news from beginning to end. If it were not for the Zhuozhou Mutiny, I don’t know, I will continue to send it. The army’s salary was reduced by more than 80% before leaving Bianjing, and 90% after leaving Bianjing.
How much deception is there in this
How many did not know
How many corrupt officials are shielding each other? "
Zhao Zhen stood up with a sword in his hand and said angrily: "I am thinking, every year I approve tens of millions of military salaries, is 90% of them greedy? If so, those who handle the military salaries can really get rich one by one. It's an enemy country.
No wonder I have been defeated miserably in the Great Song Dynasty’s foreign war.
No wonder we have thousands of soldiers freezing to death or starving to death every year.
They were greedy for the money they spent their lives.
Their living money was also greedy.
How could they not starve to death
How could it be possible to do the best for me
They are all suffering people, one by one in exchange for money.
They are also greedy for money, do you still have a conscience, do you have humanity
When I was in the northwest, I saw the fourteen-year-old boy trying to fight an acre of land, carrying a knife, and killing a powerful enemy who was nearly twice as strong and tall as him. I saw tears in my eyes.
what about you
Cold blood, cruel heart, greedy their money for their lives in the back.
I treat you not badly, and I treat you not badly.
The salary I gave you, and the salary the Song Dynasty gave you, is the highest in all dynasties.
The Emperor Taizu set a high salary for you, just to feed you, so that you will not reach out to the people.
But what about you guys
Insatiable! "
"The minister is guilty!"
Lu Yijian took the lead, and the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty pleaded guilty.
Zhao Zhen coldly snorted: "Of course you are guilty!"
The civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty dropped their heads together.
Zhao Zhen began to roll his name, "Lu Yijian?"
Lu Yijian hurried out of the class and said, "The minister is here!"
Zhao Zhen said coldly: "I punish you with a salary for one year, do you recognize it?"
Lu Yijian resolutely said: "Chen admits!"
Zhao Zhen coldly snorted: "There has been such a big corruption case in the court, and you have not noticed it from beginning to end. You are negligent."
As a Ping Zhang affair, Lu Yijian must bear responsibility for such a large corruption case during his administration.
Lu Yijian bowed and said, "The minister is at fault!"
Zhao Zhen stopped talking to Lu Yijian. He looked at Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai, "You also pay a one-year salary!"
Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai decisively confessed to punishment.
Zhao Zhen's gaze fell on the many Yushi in Yushitai.
"On weekdays, some trivial things happen in Bianjing. You have to be impeached in the court. Now that there is such a big corruption case, none of you have played to me.
Is it because you are deaf and dazzled and can hardly serve as an official historian, or are you sheltering some of them. "
The princes all gave the ceremony together.
"The minister is guilty!"
Zhao Zhen coldly snorted: "This time I only punish you for your salary, and next time, I will let you all go to the northwest to graze sheep!"
"The minister is wrong!"
"Humph!"
After Zhao Zhen dealt with Yu Shi, he punished many people one after another.
Most of them are fines.
Only two or three people were demoted.
It's not that Zhao Zhen picked it up high and put it down low.
But the officials who really participated in the corruption case have all been arrested.
Most of those who are still standing in the courtroom have committed the crime of oversight.
After dealing with the oversight of the officials, Zhao Zhen slowly sat on the throne and said coldly: "This corruption case is wicked against the tribesmen and barbarians. The other prisoners, regardless of their official positions, are taken to the cell together, and will be asked to be executed after the autumn.
His family wealth was confiscated and not in the treasury.
His family members were exiled to the border land.
This matter was supervised by Wang Zeng. "
Wang Zeng came out of work slowly, bowed and said, "The minister takes the order!"
Zhao Zhen continued: "Zhang Zhibai?"
"The minister is here!"
Zhang Zhibai responded when he was out of class.
Zhao Zhen stared at Zhang Zhibai and said: "I know that you are an upright official, and I have served as a minister of military affairs in Nanjing before. I am also familiar with some military affairs. I am going to send you to investigate me with the ministers of the Ministry of Justice.
Check out the fate of each military payment in previous years, and investigate the fate of every ordnance in previous years.
Please check with me and see how many people in the army are drinking the blood of the soldiers and eating the meat of the soldiers.
You don’t have to be afraid to offend people.
After you find out the details, report it to me directly.
I will order Kou Ji to deal with these people.
I believe that Kou Ji will not be afraid of the identity of the other party, let alone the background of the other party. "
A slightly startled color flashed across Zhang Zhibai's face, took a deep breath, and bowed and said, "Hey..."
Not only Zhang Zhibai was shocked.
Manchu civil and military also looked shocked.
Investigating and punishing every payment of military pay and ordnance in previous years was a terrifying event.
As long as the North Korean Wuxun has served in the army, Bacheng has drunk the blood of soldiers.
Some even live by drinking the blood of soldiers.
If the investigation is carried out according to what Zhao Zhen said, 80% of the martial arts will be unlucky.
No one dared to determine what the Wuxuns would do to save their lives or protect their own interests.
Some people in the military train had their faces changed when they heard Zhao Zhen's words, but they didn't say anything.
There is no difference between speaking out at this time and not confessing.
Even if they want to plan any means of self-protection, they have to wait for the next day.
The civil servants were also not calm.
Zhao Zhen's move is undoubtedly to set off a big disturbance in the territory of the Song Dynasty.
No one can say what the final result will be.
If the smoke is everywhere, then the Great Song Jiangshan might be in danger.
Zhao Zhen seemed to have not seen the shock of the Manchu civil and military. After announcing the matter, he told Zhu Neng: "Zhu Neng, you have to go to Zhuozhou quickly to appease the warriors and soldiers.
When I have collected the military salaries paid by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I will send them to you. "
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said: "Kou Ji, you help me stare at Zhuozhou. If you really need soldiers and horses to suppress them, you can dispatch a soldier and horse and let Zhu Neng lead them to suppress the insurgents. "
Kou Ji and Zhu Neng went out of work together, bowed and said, "Hey..."
"Retreat!"
Zhao Zhen announced his retreat from the court, and left the Chugong Hall in the voice of the Manchu civil and martial arts.
The three of Lu Yijian walked out of the Chuigong Temple with complex expressions.
Standing at the entrance of the Chugong Hall, Lu Yijian said solemnly: "It's going to change..."
Wang Zeng frowned and said: "I always think this matter is related to Kou Ji."
Lu Yijian coldly hummed: "Of course it has something to do with Kou Ji. It is very difficult for the officials alone to play such a big game of chess, and it is also difficult to achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone.
With a sum of money and a mutiny, apart from disposing of the emperor's relatives and relatives, he also took all the martial arts with him by the way.
Everything is arranged properly, so that people can't find a point to refute.
The relatives of the imperial family have already been disposed of, and I dare not say whether the Wuxuns can be disposed of.
But I dare to assert that during Zhang Xiangcha's punishment of corruption in the army, no one would have written to help the martial artists to complain. "
Zhang Zhibai smiled bitterly: "Who would dare to call wronged for Wuxun? There was such a big corruption case in the army, and there was no news of it. If the officials did not investigate and deal with it, how to explain to the Manchu civil and military and how to explain to the people. , How do you explain to the officers and men in the army?"
"Good means!"
Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and admired.
Zhang Zhibai sighed faintly, and said: "You two can help me. I am doing something that offends people, and I may have to leave Beijing for a while. If someone takes the risk and hurts my family, you can get it. Protect me."
When Wang Zeng heard this, he coldly snorted: "It's no misfortune to his family. Those Wuxun really took risks. If Zhang Xiang's family were threatened, the old man would make them regret coming to this world."
Lu Yijian followed with a heavy face and nodded, "If they really dare to move Zhang Xiang's family, the old man will dare to bring soldiers into their home."
After a pause, Lu Yijian said solemnly, "Kou Ji is probably the most dangerous person, because he is the last one to do it."
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "If he is afraid of danger, he will not give this idea to the officials."
"Buddy..."
Lu Yijian cursed in a low voice.
"Lu Yijian, you are too much!"
Just as Lu Yijian was swearing, Kou Ji walked out from the door with his hands on his back.
Lu Yijian heard Kou Ji's voice and said angrily: "Asshole thing, how dare you call the old man by his name?"
Kou Ji said unwillingly to show weakness: "Above the court, regardless of age, only rank. My rank is not lower than you. Besides, there is a difference between civil and military, and I am now the head of the military minister.
You vilified me by your words.
If you provoked civil and military controversy and messed up the court, that is your sin. "
Lu Yijian was completely angry when he heard Kou Ji's words, "Kou Ji, don't think that if you are now a privy envoy, the old man will not be able to cure you. I will go to Wenchang Academy now, and ask Kou Gong to teach you what to do. Respect the elderly."
Kou Ji said with disdain: "Only a three- to five-year-old doll will find someone else's elders to sue!"
As soon as Kou Ji said this, Lu Yijian's three-corpse god furiously rolled up his sleeves and prepared to commit a murder.
But they were stopped by Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai.
Kou Ji did not make a mistake.
That is, this place is the court hall, and there are no young and old on the court hall, only ranks.
The two really scrambled, no one can please, and they will be seen as jokes.
After Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai stopped Lv Yijian, Kou Ji resolutely rubbed the soles of his feet and slipped away.
After Kou Ji had left for a long time, Lu Yijian passed his anger and said angrily: "Let that kid be in the court for a few more years, maybe we will all be riding on our heads."
Zhang Zhibai smiled bitterly: "If you really can't understand his actions, you can just impeach him."
Lu Yijian said angrily: "The old man will write to impeach him tomorrow."
Wang Zeng was about to echo, suddenly he seemed to think of something, and he thumped his chest and said: "Oh, I was fooled by that kid."
Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai were taken aback.
Wang Zeng yelled: "What are we waiting here for, just to wait for the kid to come out and ask for some of the reasons. But now we didn't ask anything, the kid ran away."
Under Wang Zeng's reminder, Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai woke up and beat their chests and feet together.
After a long time.
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said: "Go to Kou's Mansion..."
Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said: "This matter has a lot of implications. If you don't figure out the reason for it, I am afraid that something big will happen. Now that the kid has escaped, I can only go to the Kou Mansion House in person to visit his junior. ."
Zhang Zhibai nodded slowly.
Lu Yijian hesitated for a while, and said unwillingly: "I am an elder, it is too embarrassing to visit a junior."
"At this time, what kind of face is there to care about."
"..."
The three of them made a decision and left the palace together.
After going out of the palace gate, I saw the soldiers of the Forbidden Army running around on the street, entering and leaving the residences of various imperial relatives.
The scene that took place in the court today has long been broadcast by the officials who took the lead.
The people in Bianjing also knew what those soldiers were doing.
Most of the people didn't understand the profound meaning of this court change, nor did they have the idea to go further.
All they know is that the incomparable official family has done another very pleasing thing.
That is to deal with the relatives of the emperor and the country who usually dominate and oppress the people in Bianjing.
In addition to a major evil for the people, the people are naturally happy.
While praising the officials one by one, they ran to the door of the royal family's residence to watch the excitement.
Some people who had been bullied by the relatives of the imperial family even started a firecracker in the street.
The people are happy.
There was no cheerful atmosphere in the residences of the dignitaries.
Most of them are dull as if there is no one.
Lu Yijian and the three had no time to care about the joy of the people and the lowness of the officials.
The three of them rode in a carriage and swayed to the Kou Mansion Courtyard.
The three of them went to the gate of the Kou Mansion’s courtyard without any notification, and the servant of the Kou Mansion voluntarily gave way.
Wang used to be a frequent visitor to the Kou Mansion's courtyard. Where are the identities of Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai
The concierge of Kou Mansion did not dare to stop.
Look at the three gloomy faces, I'm afraid they will be beaten if they stop, and there is no place to reason.
The three of them entered the Kou Mansion's courtyard, arrived at the main hall, and ordered the Kou Mansion's steward to call Kou Ji to come out.
Then one by one, as if they were in their own mansion, they asked the servants of the Kou Mansion to prepare refreshments.
They are not putting on airs, but purely treating Kou Ji as their own, so they don't make any difference.
If Kou Ji went to the house of the three of them, no one would say anything.
Kou Jiruo went to the house of the three of them, fell in love with the beautiful concubine Ji, greeted him, as long as the three of them were willing, he would send it over without hesitation.
vice versa.
Of course, there are no concubines in Kou Mansion.
Although Zhang Zhibai is a clean official, he also has a concubine Ji.
They were all given by the palace.
One by one, they acted as the concubine Ji in Zhang's Mansion, but they did the errands of calling girls.
If Kou Ji really can see it, Zhang Zhibai would like to send him all at once.
He can't afford it anyway.
Because he donated most of his salary to poor scholars.
The three people sat in the main hall not long.
I didn't see Kou Ji's shadow, but saw Xiang Yan holding Kou Tianci in the main hall.
"Girl Yan, what are you doing, where is Kou Ji?"
Wang Zeng asked suspiciously.
Xiang Yan said in a dumbfounded voice: "The Xianggong said, Lu Gong and Zhang Gongshi haven't met with Tian Ci'er yet. So they ordered the concubine to bring them over and show them to them."
Lu Yijian's face turned black all at once.
Zhang Zhibai looked bitter.
Lu Yijian was groping for things in his arms, and he muttered and cursed: "Everyone knows that he is the God of Wealth. The old man sees him. He is the right one. As long as you seize the opportunity, you will peel off your skin. Don't let it go. Any chance."
Lu Yijian fumbled in her arms for a long time, and found an ink ingot.
Wang Zeng looked familiar, but did not speak.
Lu Yijian hummed: "Fortunately, the old man was prepared..."
Lu Yijian handed the ink ingot to Kou Tianci, and admonished: "The little guy will read more in the future, don't learn from your father, if you don't learn and useless, you will still be full of bad water."
Xiang Yan took Kou Tianci and thanked him, but did not speak to rectify Kou Ji's name.
It's not that she is unwilling, but that she can't argue with Lu Yijian's elders.
A circle of golden peonies was outlined on the ink ingot given by Lu Yijian.
Not everything.
Xiang Yan had seen it in her grandfather Xiang Minzhong's study before, and it was a tribute.
There is no private sale.
The officials will reward some to the officials.
Golden peony belongs to the treasures of the ink ingots, and only rewards important ministers.
And the number is very small.
After Zhang Zhibai gave out the ink ingots from Lu Yijian, he smiled bitterly: "The old man has nothing to grow, only his knowledge of his stomach. When this kid grows up, the old man can be a husband for him for a few years."
As soon as this remark came out.
All the people present changed color.
The same is true for Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan hurriedly saluted Zhang Zhibai, and said in a deep voice, "Duke Zhang’s gift is too expensive, and I am afraid that God’s gift cannot afford it."
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng also spoke out, admonishing Zhang Zhibai to be cautious.
Zhang Zhibai's identity, involved in political affairs.
There are only two people who are qualified to hire him as a husband.
One is the official family, and the other is the crown prince.
Nowadays, there is no crown prince in Song Dynasty, so there is only one official.
Even if an official asks Zhang Zhibai to teach, he must be respected as a professional teacher.
It means the teacher who teaches the preaching.
What is Zhang Zhibai's promise to Kou Tian, Mengshi.
It means Mr. Enlightenment.
As Zhang Zhibai, he served as a teacher for Kou Tianci. After that, no one could serve as a teacher for Kou Tianci.
At that time, I am afraid that Zhang Zhibai will still need to take up the post.
Zhang Zhibai will inevitably teach by example and be responsible for receiving Kou Tianci.
Kou Tianci is likely to become Zhang Zhibai's personal biography.
The personally passed students are very different from ordinary students
Both Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng were here, and naturally they knew the difference.
So they advised Zhang Zhibai to be cautious.
Even if Kou Zhun is here, I am afraid he will admonish one or two.
Zhang Zhibai heard the words of Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Xiang Yan, and laughed: "Since I dared to speak, I naturally made up my mind. So there is no possibility of repentance, nor will I regret it.
Although Kou Ji is not educated and skillful, he is a smart person.
Xiang Yan had a talent since he was a child, and his literary talent was not low.
The son of the two of them will certainly not be a stupid person.
I accepted him as an introductory student, which is considered to be a good student. "
Lu Yijian said solemnly: "I took a risk after all..."
Zhang Zhibai laughed and said: "The old man only promised to teach him for three to five years. If he is successful, the old man will continue to teach. If he is not, the old man will return him to Kou Ji after three to five years."
Lu Yijian and Wang once saw that Zhang Zhibai had made up his mind, so they could only sigh, and did not discourage them.
Zhang Zhibai said this lightly, but can he let it go
The relationship between the master and apprentice of the ancients is different from that of most of the later generations.
Between the ancients, masters and apprentices, they are really like father and son.
Once the income is under the sect, it will be responsible to the end.
As a husband, you will not only teach students the knowledge and principles of life, but also take responsibility for the students' life.
Your husband has to care about everything about the students.
The students make mistakes, the husband has to follow along.
Zhang Zhibai accepted Kou Tianci's introduction, and it was difficult to go out after Kou Tianci.
Because Zhang Zhibai served as Kou Tianci’s teacher, no one can take on the role of Kou Tianci’s professional teacher. This is caused by Zhang Zhibai’s status and his responsibility, so Zhang Zhibai must be responsible.
