"There is a way that courtesy is nothing more than human sentiment. The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple are in that position. They will always be used by some officials in the DPRK and central government. They come to ask for help. The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple will always sell favors.
There were a few more cases where there was no way to see people.
Bao Zheng will now turn these cases out and try them again.
They are naturally unwilling. "
Kou Ji truthfully told Zhao Zhen the stakes behind Bao Zheng's investigation of the old case.
After Zhao Zhen heard this, he said with a bit of displeasure: "I dare not talk about human favors when dealing with the emperor's relatives and relatives, but they have told me about human favors. The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple are dealing with major and important cases. , There is a mistake in the homicide case, that is, a human life, how can it be controlled by human feelings.
Let Bao Zheng check, check it fiercely, I really want to see how many fly camps are behind this. "
Zhao Zhen is now more upright, his eyes are either black or white, and there are no gray areas.
Therefore, after hearing the hidden information behind Bao Zheng's investigation of the old case, he was decisive to let Bao Zheng carry out the investigation.
Kou Ji has no objection to this.
He felt that this was the way to be an emperor. His eyes were either black or white, and he could not stay in the gray zone often, let alone tolerate the existence of the gray zone.
If the emperor's eyes could accommodate the gray area, the officials below would dare to turn all gray to black, and even all white to gray.
Human desires and ambitions cannot be filled.
As long as the person at the top gives an opening, the person at the bottom can turn the opening into a piece of sky.
Therefore, the people above must block all the holes, and the people below have no holes to drill, let alone turning them into a sky.
For example, the matter of Deng Wengu.
After the imperial court approved Kou Jizuo's request to set up Dengwen Drums for local yamen, it also approved the killing of the powerful.
The imperial court approved the killing of powerful rods by local yamen in order to prevent the occurrence of false accusations in the localities.
But when the local government enforces this decree, the killer stick is likely to become a killer stick.
As long as the magistrate is a greedy person, and as long as the defendant feeds the magistrate, the plaintiff will be beaten to death by the killing stick when he enters the yamen.
The cruelty and boldness of local officials will always exceed everyone's imagination.
It is precisely because of this that there are so many unjust cases among the people.
Zhao Zhen wanted to see what was behind the old case handled by the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple, so he ignored the impeachment of Bao Zheng. Not only that, he personally wrote a handbook for thorough investigation and sent Chen Lin to Bao Zheng. .
As soon as this happened, the melodrama of impeaching Bao Zheng disappeared instantly.
Zhao Zhen’s move is clearly to tell everyone that I am supporting Bao Zheng, and I asked Bao Zheng to investigate. If you are dissatisfied with Bao Zheng, you are dissatisfied with me. As my courtier, dissatisfied with me, then you can. To die.
After being aware of Bao Zheng's profound meaning, the Manchu civil and military dared to impeach Bao Zheng.
They dare not use some insidious means to deal with Bao Zheng.
Because the prime minister of Korea, Kou Ji, was the one who hated officials the most abusive methods against his colleagues.
Thinking that the people in the court had used three abuse methods to deal with Li Di, Kou Ji scolded him as a dog-blood sprayer.
Kou Ji didn't have so much power to keep Li Di in the hands of the Manchu civil and military hands, so Li Di was finally deposed and fell to Hexi.
Now Kou Ji's power is overwhelming, and those who oppose Kou Ji will hardly end up well.
He stared at Chaotang, who would dare to use insidious means under his nose
The people of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple were unable to impeach Bao Zheng, so they could only imitate Kou Ji’s old things, write to Bao Zheng for credit, and said Bao Zheng’s credit and achievements were so great that Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji Jiang Bao Zheng was placed in a position that was more in line with his merits and political achievements.
In short, ask the court to promote Bao Zheng.
Unfortunately, Bao Zheng is not Zhang Lun.
Bao Zheng was born in Jinshi, so no one deliberately suppressed him because of his background.
Therefore, the credit for his establishment has been praised by the court, and the speed of promotion is still very fast, which can be said to be a steady progress.
Therefore, no one paid attention to the memorial of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Dali Temple.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji ignored the promotion of Bao Zheng by officials from the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple, but Wen Yanbo and others looked jealous.
They are all students who have been seated by a gentleman. How long have you been in Beijing before Bao Zheng has allowed so many officials in Beijing to appeal for you.
We didn't do anything, and nobody asked for credit for us. Doesn't that mean we are inferior to you
Wen Yanbo and others are outstanding people, and they believe that they are not losing to Bao Zheng in terms of talents, learning and ability. How can they let Bao Zheng be more beautiful than before
Since then, the memorial at the Ministry of Rites asked the court to check the world's education to see if the world's education has been laid down exactly where he should be. Is anyone greedy for money in the process
Should county schools and government schools be established
Now that the second and third batches of Meng children are about to graduate, the imperial court does not set up county schools and government schools. Wouldn't it be a waste of the talents cultivated with difficulty
The turmoil of the Ministry of Rites has just started and has not yet become a settler. Those in the Ministry of Households have also begun to ask the court to check the population and fields of the world.
The reasons given are very good.
In recent years, the imperial court has migrated people out in large numbers, and the people who migrated have left some land more or less.
Among them, the Israeli military households left the most when they moved out of the hinterland of the Central Plains, but the imperial court did not receive a large number of acres, so it must be thoroughly investigated to see who occupied the land left by the people who moved out.
Zhao Zhen attaches great importance to land properties, so after the memorials from the household department were handed over, Zhao Zhen approved it without even thinking about it.
And in front of the civil and military presence of the Manchu dynasty, he urged the Ministry of Households to conduct strict and thorough investigations, and must give him an explanation.
Zhao Zhen needs an explanation. If you don't kill a few people or find out a certain amount of land, it might be difficult to explain.
When Zhao Zhen approved the affairs of the household department, the officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Honghu Temple, successively performed the affairs.
The things that the various yamen played were like water poured into an oil pan, causing the entire oil pan to boil.
Chen Yaozuo lost a lot of hair, and Wang Zeng's eyes were bloodshot.
The two old men guarded Kou Ji, one on the left and the other, staring at Kou Ji with staring eyes.
Kou Ji put down the pen for reviewing notes, glanced left and right, briefly took a sip of the teacup on the table, and questioned: "The two of you will not be sitting in the Imperial Palace and the Xing Department at this hour. What will you do in the political affairs hall? Is it possible that the officials have been promoted to two positions to participate in political affairs? The two will be working in the political affairs hall in the future?"
The two old men stared at Kou Ji so fiercely without speaking.
Kou Ji put down the teacup, and said, neither salt nor salty: "What do you mean? Tell me?"
Wang Zeng said with a hoarse voice: "Bao Zheng is your student?"
Chen Yaozuo questioned: "Tang Jie is your doorstep?"
Kou Jiyi said rightly: "Strictly speaking, Bao Zheng can only be regarded as my student, not my student. Although he called me his husband, I did not teach him any knowledge.
People like King Shou, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, Su Jingxian, Su Shi, and Di Yong are my students.
Tang Jie had visited my house before, but he was only a visit to Shangguan from the next official, asking for advice, not a visitor.
Our Kou Mansion has a high threshold, and not everyone can be a guest of our Kou Mansion. "
Wang Zeng blew his beard and stared: "It doesn't matter if the old man is your pupil or your student, if you instigate him to murder the old man, it is your fault."
Kou Ji looked up and down Wang Zeng in disbelief, and said in a puzzled way: "Instigate him? Murder you? I can't bear such a serious crime. As a minister of criminal justice, you should be aware of the criminal law of the Song Dynasty and instigate others to murder others. The lives of others are a serious crime. It is also a serious crime to attempt to slander the central government officials."
Wang Zeng yelled angrily: "The old man is sixty or sixty this year, and he has long lost his energy. He is not as vigorous as that year. You instigate him, and look for an old man day and night, and the old man cannot eat well. He couldn't sleep well, even when he returned to the mansion, he could find the door.
He pulled up the old man's sleeves and talked all night.
How can the old man's body be able to hold it? ! "
Kou Ji raised his brows and said, "Is there a problem with young people asking for advice from older people?"
Wang Zeng blew his beard and stared, "You just want him to keep looking for the old man, and then he will be exhausted!"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "You are also a person with a reputation and reputation. Is it really good to be so wronged? Bao Zheng wants to investigate the old case of the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple. Did you nod your permission
Was it that after you nodded your head and gave him permission, he played the memorial and gave it to the officials
Now that he is annoying, you don't look for the reason on your own, but you planted on me. What is the reason? "
Wang Zeng shouted angrily: "Is that your trick?"
Kou Ji said angrily: "Is it treacherous for the time being, you are a criminal secretary, but you can still be pinched by a lower official? Dislike him, dislike him and disturb your cleanliness, just keep him out what?"
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said: "A man who buried himself in a pile of files day and night in order to reverse the old case, and only ate two loaves and a bowl of clear water for each meal, how would you tell the old man to refuse
Every time he appeared in front of the old man, the old man smelled the scent of vegetable oil on his body, and knew that he had been busy with the lamp and boiling oil all night.
Such a talent for the country and the people, how do you let the old man keep him out? "
Kou Ji opened his hand and said: "So in the final analysis, you can't be cruel, and indulge him to find you again and again, and finally make yourself less energy.
Then why do you blame me? "
Wang Zeng said arrogantly: "The old man can't bear to speak harshly to him, so I can only blame you for being lax."
Kou Ji was annoyed, "I didn't teach anything!"
Wang Zeng said roguely: "If you are your disciple, you have the responsibility to teach."
Kou Ji stared at each other, and said badly, "Why isn't he tired of you!"
Wang Zeng snorted coldly: "Murdering an important court official is a serious crime."
"If you really feel that you are lacking in energy, you should rush out your begging bones, lest you are exhausted in office and the officials have to shed tears for you."
Kou Ji cursed Wang Zeng very viciously.
Wang Zeng looked up and said, "As long as your protégé converges a little bit, the old man thinks the old man can live a few more years."
Kou Ji shouted: "You are a curse if you are alive."
Wang Zeng said unceremoniously: "You are the one who is scoring!"
Chen Yaozuo saw the two people quarreling endlessly, and couldn't help but said: "Can you two slow down, can you solve my problem, and you quarrel again?"
Kou Ji glanced at Chen Yaozuo, and said unceremoniously: "Are you tired too?"
Chen Yaozuo shook his head and said, "That's not..."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.
Chen Yaozuo sighed and said, "It's too idle..."
Kou Ji said angrily: "Is it good to be idle? I wish I didn't do anything every day, every day I was delicious and spicy, and then I would find a few beauties to serve. Those days were more comfortable than gods."
Chen Yaozuo sighed and said, "Since Tang got involved in Yushitai, he has a memoir for all matters large and small. It has been more than a month, and the old man hasn't read a memorial.
The old man has nothing to do every day, sleepless night and night, and always feels like a vegetarian meal.
If you lose your hair today, and then fall again, the old man should go to Daxiangguo Temple as the host. "
Kou Ji said maliciously: "It's okay to get a knife to accompany Chen Lin."
Chen Yaozuo decisively shook his head and said, "Is that not enough?"
Kou Ji sneered: "Afraid?"
Chen Yaozuo said with a serious face: "The old man has a humerus from a country, and he is sentenced to imperial punishment. Others will say that the official is not benevolent, which is detrimental to the reputation of the official.
For the sake of the official's reputation, the old man reluctantly continued to sit in the Yushitai. "
Kou Ji snorted coldly: "You are quite good at making excuses for yourself."
Chen Yaozuo grabbed his beard, righteously and said: "As a minister, you can't be wronged by officials."
Kou Ji glanced at Chen Yaozuo, then at Wang Zeng, and hummed: "So the two of you ran to me to make trouble, purely because your subordinates are too capable?"
Chen Yaozuo raised his head and looked at the sky full of dark clouds.
Wang Zeng bowed his head and counted the masonry on the ground.
Kou Ji said what they were saying, but they couldn't admit it.
Acknowledging that his subordinates are too capable, it is tantamount to admitting that he is so incompetent.
The two are now well-known figures, how can they admit that they are incompetent
As soon as Kou Ji was about to speak to the two old men, Chen Yaozi hummed into the political affairs hall.
After seeing Chen Yaozuo and Wang Zeng, first bowed to Kou Ji, then bowed to Chen Yaozuo, shouted'Second Brother', and finally bowed slightly to Wang Zeng.
Both Chen Yaozuo and Chen Yaozi are older than Wang Zeng.
Chen Yaozi bowed and saluted Chen Yaozuo because Chen Yaozuo was his elder brother and he had to respect him, regardless of his rank.
He arched his hands against Wang Zeng, it was purely a tie between the two, and there was no need to bend down against Wang Zeng.
Chen Yao Zineng was the first to talk to Wang Zeng Shili as being polite.
If the two have nothing to do with Wujue, and they meet on the street, Wang Zengde will be the first to salute Chen Yaozi and call them the elder.
Kou Ji saw Chen Yaozi and said angrily: "You are also because the people under your hands are too capable? So you came to me to complain?"
Chen Yaozi was taken aback when he heard the words, then glanced at Chen Yaozuo, and then at Wang Zeng.
The two old men turned their heads aside.
Seeing this, Chen Yaozi laughed and understood what Kou Ji said. He yelled at Kou Ji: "The old man is here to ask you for someone. Now there are a bunch of idiots in the Ministry of War. Let them do it for a little while. If you can't do it well, it makes people angry to watch.
Are there any capable students under your school
Divide two to the old man. "
After listening to Chen Yaozi's words, Kou Ji nodded and said: "Since the reform of the military system, most of the people in the Ministry of War are of military background. They are good at marching and fighting. There must be some lack of cultural affairs. You should guide you , And promote some talents at the same time.
You are a scholar of jinshi, learned a rich five-car, and come from a family of officials and eunuchs. When you were young, you mostly held clerical positions, so you can handle clerical affairs like a fish in water.
But you can't ask everyone to be of the same background as you, and you can't ask those who don't have much knowledge to deal with clerical affairs better than you. "
Chen Yaozi yelled: "Even so, do you arrange one or two good-looking writing for the old man? Each writing is like a dog crawling, and the old man is not happy when he sees it."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "The military's documents and transfer orders, as long as you can understand it. What do you want to do with such high requirements, and get admitted to Jinshi?"
Chen Yaozi gritted his teeth and said: "The old man admitted the matter through gritted teeth. But the martial arts of the court this year must be presided over by the old man. The old man must choose someone who is proficient in the art of war and knowledge."
Kou Ji groaned: "You can host it, but I have to remind you of one thing. You are not allowed to take out the formation of those actions.
If I find out that there is a pattern in the martial arts examination again, be careful that I turn my face with you.
The last examiner who used the formation map as an exam question in the martial arts examination has been cut by me. "
As soon as these words came out, before Chen Yaozi could speak, Wang Zeng took the lead and said: "The formation is Taizong..."
Wang Zeng only said a few words, seeing Kou Ji and Chen Yaozi looking at him like idiots, and immediately shut their mouths.
Chen Yaozi snorted: "The terrain on the battlefield is changing, and the enemy's situation is changing, and the battle formation has to follow the rapid changes. Holding the formation to create a barrier is to die.
You go back and forth is a set of formations, or a set of untimely maps, you do not lose the battle, who does not lose the battle.
More importantly, the people who take the formation often can't keep the secrets.
The formation map has not been in the hands of the soldiers in front, the enemy has already obtained the formation map.
Under such circumstances, what battles are still being fought
Bound your hands and stay in the enemy camp is also more comfortable than confronting the enemy. "
Upon hearing this, Wang Zeng's face was a bit ugly.
Chen Yaozuo snorted coldly, and yelled at Chen Yaozi: "Shut up! How can you arrogantly discuss the national policy set by Taizong."
Chen Yaozi snorted and did not speak again.
Going on, being targeted by someone with a heart, a crime of slandering Taizong can't escape.
Although Zhao Zhen also knew that Taizong Zhao Guangyi gave the soldiers a pattern, it was a bit cheating to let the soldiers march and set up a barrier with the pattern.
But it cannot be said on the bright side.
Speaking is contrary to filial piety and is easy to be scolded.
If someone tells the truth, Zhao Zhen will have to deal with it, otherwise he will still be said to be against filial piety.
Seeing the atmosphere a little embarrassing, Kou Ji waved his hands and said: "It's OK. Although the formation is a national policy set by Taizong, when some people are lowering the formation, they will not turn to Taizong for everything.
Therefore, many of the formations are made by low-level people.
The fault is with those who are thinking about it. "
Although Kou Ji despised Zhao Guangyi's actions, at this moment, he had to say something nice, to help Zhao Guangyi to excuse him, and to help Chen Yaozi to excuse him.
Because of Zhao Guangyi's stupidity, he humiliated a country's talents and was not worth it.
Chen Yaozi heard Kou Ji's excuse for himself, his expression relaxed a bit, and after a couple of sentences, he bluntly said: "You don't have to worry, I won't let the formation appear in the army again. I will not choose. Those who can only talk about military affairs on paper become Wu Jinshi."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "So, you will preside over the martial arts examinations today, and I will let a person from the Privy Council serve as an assistant exam.
Chen Yaozi nodded in satisfaction, "A word is a deal."
Kou Ji urged: "When selecting Wu Jinshi, we must pay attention to whether the Jinshi is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. A large number of them will serve as the supervisors of the various military forces, and only a small number of them will become the commanders of the military. Soldier."
Chen Yaozi nodded solemnly and left the political affairs hall.
After Chen Yaozi left, Kou Ji said to Chen Yaozuo and Wang Zeng: "If the two of you feel the energy is low, then beg for the bones."
Chen Yaozuo and Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji sighed: "The two of you must learn to let go. Don't hold onto the power firmly, and eventually become exhausted in your duties. It's not worth it and it's not worth it.
You can see the talents of the younger generations.
You can also feel whether the younger generation can shoulder your heavy responsibility. "
Chen Yaozuo said unwillingly: "Without the guards of the old man and others, can they handle the affairs of the government?"
Kou Ji bluntly said: "Those younger generations are very aggressive, do you think you can hold it down? I dare not say that the students under my school are rare talents. They can be said to be the fastest promotion of my Song. A group of people.
They are not like the late Taixiangong Su Yijian, who led the police alone.
They are a group of people going hand in hand.
It's like a wave, menacing. "
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Chen Yaozuo and Wang Zeng felt disappointed. They looked at each other and sighed.
Wang Zeng stared at Chen Yaozuo and sighed, "You are getting old..."
Chen Yaozuo said bitterly: "You too..."
Wang Zeng faintly said: "It's fine, let's sit in the middle of the court for a few more days, and take a good examination of the juniors. If they can really take over the heavy responsibility of the Song Dynasty, we will take the initiative to ask.
Avoid being impeached for covetous power.
Also avoid being underestimated by a group of juniors. "
Chen Yaozuo hesitated and nodded in agreement.
He is ten years older than Wang Zeng, but his body is tougher than Wang Zeng.
But even so, he was gray-haired and old-fashioned, and now he started to take off his hair again.
The thought of standing on the court with a light head and being ridiculed in private by the younger generation made him unhappy.
The two old men with their hands on their backs, bent over, moved out of the political affairs hall one step at a time.
The two old men had toiled for the Da Song for half a lifetime, and it was very difficult to leave everything and leave.
Kou Ji felt a bit cruel to persuade the two old men to beg the bones.
But Chaotang is a cruel place.
If you do not leave when your energy is low, and still dominate the power, that is the life of the people, the life of the people of the world.
