Chapter 752: Jia Xia Controversy
Daqing Hall, court meeting.
The Zhao Guan family has not yet attended court. Now the old and weak Empress Dowager Liu has no longer attended court. It has become history to rule the country from behind the curtain. No matter how ambitious the ambition is, it cannot resist the years. Smart people obey the old age, and unwise people will stay in power tightly.
She has seen a lot of bloody liquidation in the liquidation a hundred years later.
She could understand why Zhao Heng became lazy and negligent after forming an alliance with the Khitans, and was addicted to those illusory things that prayed for heaven and life. It was just that she was too young at that time and did not know the value of life.
Who doesn’t want to stay in this world for the rest of their lives? What’s the use of reviewing memorials all day long? What’s exhausted is your body. Enjoy this power for a few more days and bring happiness.
She asked someone to go to Qingcheng Mountain in Shu to find the immortal, and asked, and wanted to find out if there was really a legendary immortal medicine.
Xia Shu was on the right side of all officials, and Chen Xichun's pregnancy greatly stimulated his ambitions. If this girl could really give birth to a prince for the official family, then the whole world would be the official family in the future. If he helped this matter with one hand, his status in the future would be comparable to that of Duke Yi Yin and Zhou!
Even if it is either a prince or a princess, Miss Chen's status can be stable. In the future, she will use her strength to imitate the original prime minister Lu Yijian, deposed Empress Guo, and established Empress Cao, who stood on her side.
It’s a pity that Lu Yijian got the support of Empress Cao, but he didn’t know that Empress Guo was helped by Empress Liu E. If she deposed her, she would be against Liu E. Naturally, there would be no good ending. Lu Yijian was loyal to the country for half her life and was driven home when she was old.
The current situation is already very different. Since Cao Bin, Cao Wei has been alone and has no choice but to be able to support other younger generations. Empress Dowager Liu is old and weak, and she has no energy to participate in the disputes in the court. As long as she can work together with Miss Chen, who will dare to go against me in the future!
Xia Sheng smiled and looked at Jia Chaochang beside him. This guy is not long before!
The emperor sat in the Ming Hall and all officials worshiped him.
Last night, Xia Shuo informed Xia Shouen of the news that Miss Chen returned from Jingdong Road. Xia Shouen had the right to walk forward and returned to the inner palace that night to report to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen missed the beauty for several months and couldn't sleep all night long. Every night, he returned to the harem. His favorite Yang and Shang family, the two beloved concubines, were forced to be sent out of the harem by officials. Now Empress Cao in the harem is dominant. If it weren't for Empress Liu's suppression, she would have been the second Empress Liu.
Empress Cao is a good queen, but unfortunately, Empress Cao is not outstanding!
Zhao Zhen is the most typical visual animal. When looking at a woman, she only looks at her appearance. If she looks good, she will add points. As for what kind of woman she is, he will not care about. The two beauties of the Yang family, monks, are very scheming. They dare to fight against Empress Guo, the lord of the harem without knowing what status they are. Zhao Zhen also regarded this person, and indulged these women in doing something wrong, but he turned a blind eye to him.
Zhao Shi sat down and glanced at the civil and military officials leaning over in the hall, and found Xia Shu in the crowd. Now the more he looked, the more he liked him. In the past, he was always controlled by old guys such as Kou Zhun and Lu Yijian who spoke louder than him and had a harder attitude than the stones in the pit. He had some small thoughts and no idea to tell others.
Now, if you have this capable beloved general, will your life be uncomfortable in the future?
Xiaohuangmen sang: "All officials have something to do to report!"
Jia Chaochang looked at Xia Su out and said coldly: "I have a memorial!"
Zhao Zhen was overjoyed: "Come on, please!"
Xia Feng held his hand and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty's civil and military achievements are prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period. Bao Zheng, who was on a mission to Xixia, has brought back good news. The 100-year rebellion in Xixia has been pacified. Now the world has been pacified. The people in China live and work in peace and contentment. Only Your Majesty's descendants are not prosperous. The people still say: There are three unfilial children, and it is great if you have no descendants. Although Your Majesty has moths, how can you be alone in the country and great cause for thousands of years? People still have three wives and four concubines to pursue many children and blessings, and it is not like the concubines in the harem. They have not seen any royal descendants for many years. If you see this, I suggest that Your Majesty choose a virtuous and wise daughter from the people to serve as the harem, thinking that the Song Dynasty will consider the times!"
At this time, Xia Feng was afraid that he would not have been thinking about this. Now the official family has adopted a son Zhao Zongshi from the royal family. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Zongshi will be the world in a hundred years. Isn’t Xia Feng afraid of offending Zhao Zongshi when he says such nonsense?
To take a step back, Xia Shu was not openly saying in the court that the concubines in the harem were hens that did not lay eggs. It would be fine if he scolded the others, but Empress Cao did not give birth to a prince, so she must have been scolded too!
Everyone looked at Xia Shu with admiration. It would be okay if they didn't admire him. This soldier was indeed outspoken and not afraid of offending others. He glanced at the high-ranking official family with his own eyes. A smile gradually appeared on the face of the official family. The officials of the two governments, three departments, three yamen and six departments were all in all. After just one look, he suddenly realized that something was wrong here!
Logically speaking, the speeches of all officials will not be aimless, and there will be some instructing them behind them, and they are usually superior leaders. It has long been recognized that Xia Shu and Jia Chaochang have come to court. This matter will not be what Jia Chaochang asked Xia Shu to say. So who else can tell Xia Shu? There is only one person, that is the official family!
Speculation is human nature. Don’t say that you may offend Zhao Zongshi in the future, if you don’t support this matter now, you may offend Zhao Zhen directly. It’s not a good idea to offend the official. What’s the point of not being able to talk about it?
Gao Ruonai, the Western Prefecture, and Yu Jing, the Minister of Works, made suggestions and agreed to Xia Shu's remarks. Gao Ruonai was also a military clerk, and Xia Shu appreciated him very much. He often made a clear statement in public. The next Privy Councilor would have Gao Ruonai's share, so he naturally wanted to curry favor with Xia Shu.
Yu Jing is the successor of Liu Yongfang. Many projects of the Ministry of Works have been related to the army in recent years, and he has also made a lot of black money from it. For Jia Chaochang and Xia Shu, Jia Chaochang made money to eat his own food, and Xia Shu also had his own food, but occasionally he would let the people below drink some soup. If the two of them speculate, he naturally chose Xia Shu.
There are actually supporters, and this time I really feel prepared. Many small officials have expressed their opinions when they see the wind direction is wrong. As for Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu and other old-school midfielders, they have always adopted a neutral attitude.
There must be a conflict of interest in the debate, but this conflict of interest has not harmed the people and the court, so there is no need for them to argue with these people for good or bad.
They are even smarter people. They have long guessed that this is the little thought of the government. The government is also in its prime. Who doesn’t want to marry a few more beautiful wives and concubines? Because this kind of thing is not as good as the government, it would be too irrational.
There are signs of one-sidedness in this dynasty, and none of them came forward to say Xia Shu. Whoever asked Xia Shu to say that the descendants of the official family is a major issue of the court. Whoever dares to say that the official family should not give birth to it, just let other people's sons inherit the throne for you. Such words are a fatal rebellious remark.
Jia Chaochang didn't know why Xia Shu mentioned this topic today. He could also guess that there must be an official meaning in this. He was not stupid enough to fight against the official. If he didn't have to fight against someone, he didn't have to fight against him. Sometimes it would be okay to hit him indirectly!
"I have a comment!"
Jia Chaochang's words instantly made the atmosphere drop to freezing point.
Zhao Zhen was in a good mood and said, "You said it's okay!"
Jia Chaochang cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Xia said that peace is true in the world. Your Majesty's Spring and Autumn Period is also a major event for the country. However, there are evil people in the court. Let the family slaves cause harm to the place. Please let Your Majesty observe clearly!"
Zhao Zhen was stunned. Why did the officials suddenly get involved in this matter? Who is Jia Chaochang talking about? There are not many servants in the family speaking loudly, and there is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. The servants of the Jia family are not necessarily good things. They are also famous as the arrogant lord in Bianjing.
"Please tell me in detail!"
Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't ruin my good deeds!" He finally hoped that the moon would look forward to Xia Shu's people back, and he could add another beautiful woman in the harem. You should mention which pot you don't have, and deliberately pick up the topic."
Jia Chaochang said: "I impeached Xia Shu, the chief official, and privately enslaved slave Liang Chuan as accomplice of the tiger. He was afraid of local officials in the name of a court important official and took the opportunity to extort. Officials at all levels of Jingdong Road were afraid of their great power and dared not speak out. Who is Liang Chuan? It is the treacherous slander Ding Wei's family manager. The two of them were the same. Liang Chuan had relied on Ding Wei's power and did everything he wanted, but fortunately the empress dowager wisely sent him. Unexpectedly, Xia Shuan saw that he was treacherous and used. Now the heavens are angry and people are resentful and the people are resentful. The officials in the court turned a blind eye to the censors. These evil deeds cannot be ignored in public or private matters. If all the ministers in the court do such despicable actions, what is the prestige and face of our Song court? I dare to ask Your punishment to expel Xia Shu from the court and punish the slaves with a serious punishment!"
Xia Chaochang was surprisingly calm, as if he knew that there would be such a day. Others broke out in a cold sweat. The picture was exhausted and there was no need for a little foreplay. He had a climax as soon as he started. Jia Chaochang took the wrong medicine today. He was so fierce when he took action, he was clearly trying to kill Xia Chao!
Zhao Zhen was extremely immense. Why didn’t Jia Chaochang follow his script and sing a one-man show? All the good things he had been looking forward to for a day were disturbed by him.
These ministers start stabbing all kinds of things whenever they get a little chance. In their eyes, their major life events are nothing. If they have the opportunity to eliminate the strangeness, they will never leave it until the next day. If they don’t understand this matter today, they will see through it. If they want to have another wife, they will dream in their daytime!
Even Zhao Zhen, who is humble, said a little impatiently: "Does Jia Qing have evidence?"
Jia Chaochang had a trembling trembling feeling that he finally expected this day, and the murderous intent and hideousness in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
Do you think he has any irreconcilable hatred with Xia Shu? Actually, there is no, but looking at the entire court, Xia Shu is the one who poses the greatest danger to his position at the moment.
In terms of seniority, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi and others could not compare with him, the old man in the previous dynasty. Xia Shu was different. This guy almost started from the seventh-rank sesame official at the bottom. He had not experienced any storms and waves. He was even more experienced than his own. In terms of level, Fan Zhongyan and others were a stubborn person. Ouyang Xiu, Yan Shu and others could write poems and essays, but their level of struggle was not as good as a three-year-old child. Xia Shu was different. This guy was famous for being treacherous and had been in the army. He had never fought with monsters and monsters. He was not a good person to save money.
How long did I go back to Beijing from the northwest to fish? First, I got along with Ding Wei's original slave, and then the officials who didn't like him had been summoned frequently recently, and they were very fond of him. If this continues, I can't even say anything, so I can only go home to raise pigs and farm!
Jia Chaochang took out a memorial from his sleeve. The letter was simple in style, not a formal letter of writing, but a bit like a private message. The officials suddenly frowned when they saw it. It seemed that something was wrong, but they couldn't say what was wrong in the middle.
When Xia Shu saw that confidence, he sneered a little, but his face was still unrest.
Jia Chaochang slowly spread the letter and glanced at the content of the letter and said: "Li Li Jin, the governor of Yunzhou Prefecture on Jingdong Road, reported that the deputy governor of the government affairs and supervision of the national history, Xia Shu privately enslaved Liang Chuan, a slave of the family, was a disaster for the local area. He refused to pay the grain tax through various prefectures, beat the grain officials and sought bribes. If he failed to ask for bribes, he openly killed the court officials. Liu Ping, a doctor of Yunzhou, died tragically at home, and his wife and children were almost slaughtered. As a court official, Xia Shu was in vain to take legal action against the ancestors, laws and regulations, and private soldiers were intent to rebel. According to the law, he should be beheaded!"
Boom! This memorial was so exciting. Jia Chaochang was not a joke. He was about to cut off his face as soon as he opened his mouth. The officials couldn't sit still and started talking to each other.
At this time, no one dared to stand up and express his opinion. A sentence may determine the future and destiny of the rest of his life. Unless these two chief officials have instructed him, according to this posture, now he has to come out to stand up and stand on the side, which is also a difficult end to ride a horse! This opening means that he will never stop. Who dares to bet on his youth to tomorrow?
It seems insignificant to private slaves, but it is not a trivial matter to pursue them.
There was a prime minister in the Huizong Dynasty who was very famous, named Zhang Dun. That is to say, the Zhang Dun, who was frivolous in Song Huizong, was not in power in the world. This person was quite accurate in his view of people and was very decisive in his work. This person was clearly listed in the biography of treacherous ministers in the history of the Song Dynasty, and his label was a complete treacherous minister.
However, looking at Zhang Dun's deeds, he could only find that this was a capable minister who was not recognized by politics, but was not a treacherous minister. Not only did he see the true face of Song Huizong, but he beat Xixia all over the ground, but his own family members were extremely strict. He had four sons and four nephews, but none of them became a high-ranking official during his tenure. The fourth son Zhang Yuan, who had the best grades, ranked fifth in the Jinshi, and was also awarded a low-ranking proofreader.
If Zhang Juzheng was involved, he would definitely not be happy.
Even Zhang Dun's own father abused the power and occupied the land of his neighbor's house. He personally sent his father to Kaifeng Prefecture for punishment, then removed his position as prime minister and went to Caizhou to be the prefect.
Zhang Dun is not a treacherous minister. Of course, it is not a trivial matter to not restrain the people around him, corruption and abuse of power! The prime minister can be dragged down because of such a thing (of course, Zhang Dun can do it himself, and if others want to deal with him, he may not be dragged down), let alone Xia Shu now.
This is second-hand. Except for a few outstanding people in the entire court, they would not do it, and others were somewhat unclear.
But killing local officials with disagreement is no joke!
If Xia Shu relies on the rights in his hands to see who is unhappy today and whoever doesn’t deal with it will kill someone, then tomorrow, the butcher knife may fall on his head. If it continues, he will use the knife to kill people!
The Song Dynasty did not kill civil officials. If Xia Shu had to tear open this hole, who would dare to speak in front of the officials in the future? Who would dare to do things? If their officials had a disagreement, the officials would have to kill them, the officials would listen to their prime ministers or those of the officials?
Chapter completed!
