Chapter 521 The right to speak

June 11th, Grand Institution.

The weather was beautiful, and a timely thunderstorm slightly dispelled the scorching heat that had covered Kaifeng Prefecture for many days.

The rain fell heavily but not long, but it still caused many water accumulation in the narrow and crowded Kaifeng Prefecture city. The streets and alleys of Kaifeng Prefecture, which were already bumpy, were filled with water puddles, but even if there were some water puddles, the streets of Kaifeng Prefecture after the rain were still full of traffic.

It was already noon, after discussing government affairs in the General Office of the Political Affairs Hall, Han Zhongyan and Zeng Bu and other prime ministers stood up and walked into a wing room next to the General Office.

The lunch has been arranged on the table, which is very simple, including rice, buns, and a few meat and vegetable dishes.

There are a total of six prime ministers discussing matters in the Political Affairs Hall today, namely Han Zhongyan, Zeng Bu, Fan Chunli, Xu Jiang, Li Qingchen and Wen Yi. Among them, there are only two in the old party, while there are as many as four in the new party.

Behind the reign title of "Kangzhong Jingguo", it seems that Song Huizong's ambition to inherit Yu Lie, his father and brother.

However, the New Party, which has the advantage in the number of prisoners, has recently been at a disadvantage in the struggle for politics due to internal divisions. Not only did it lose generals like Lu Jiawen, but it was also defeated in two battles involving military and national affairs, including "The Knights of the Imperial Front" and "Trial Mansion Soldiers". Zhao Ji agreed to Fan Chunli's memorial, setting the "final number" of the Imperial Front Knights to 1,000, and at the same time allocated enough money to purchase 300,000 mu of land to Cangzhou Prefecture Yamen and Jiehe Maritime Shipping Office.

In addition, among the three main officials responsible for the trial of the military service, the old party occupied two, namely Li Gefei, the Jingzhao Prefecture of Quanzhi, and Li Gefei, the Lantian County Wu Haowen. The new party was the only one who was selected.

Since the New Party has always won the trust of the king by enriching the country and strengthening the army, it has made consecutive mistakes in the two battlefields of "Knights" and "Dui Soldiers", which made Zeng Bu, the leader of the New Party very worried. If the old Party could solve the problem of enriching the country and strengthening the army, what's the use of the new Party?

What made him even more worried was the division within the new party. Unlike the old party, the struggle within the new party has always been very fierce. When Wang Anshi was alive, he was divided into several factions. Now there are even more mountains, and several big bosses are staring at the throne of the throne in the political affairs hall.

Zeng Bu took advantage of Zhang Dun's fall and fought against Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Zhang Shangying, Jian Xuchen and others who were close to Zhang Dun, which further intensified the conflicts within the new party. Cai Jing's recent emergence is equivalent to giving the "Zhang Dun Group" a new leader...

Some of Zeng Bu, who was in trouble with internal and external affairs, sat down after changing the case date and was about to use some food randomly, but found a roll of paper placed beside him.

He frowned and picked it up and opened it. But he saw a series of bold and black big characters: Wenquxing Xunbao. Below these four characters, there are a few lines of small characters, which are written as "The sound of wind, rain, reading, sound of sounds in his ears; family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned." This should be a couplet, which is quite neat. There is a date on the right side of the couplet, the first year of Jianzhong Jingguo, June 11, and the Great Heat.

After seeing it, Zeng Bu sneered immediately.

"Zi Xuan, why are you laughing?"

The person who spoke was Wen Yi, who liked to gloat. Although he was a new party, he was not very colorful and was still Zhao Ji's own lackey, so he was a mixed character in the Political Affairs Hall.

Zeng Bu raised the newspaper in his hand, "Wu Haogu is really good at coming. The suspect of the arson case in Beidaying, Zhou Beidaying has not been cleared a few days ago. Now, this newspaper of Lao Shizi Wenquxing has been released... I don't know how it was put in the Political Affairs Hall!"

Wen Yi laughed when he heard this, "This one is the first issue of Wenqu Xingxunbao. People are sending it everywhere on the streets of Kaifeng Prefecture. When I was in court, I happened to meet a newspaper delivery person. I asked for a few copies to help you watch it while you were having a meal."

It turned out to be brought by Wen Yi!

Zeng Bu frowned again. He knew that Wen Yi and Cai Jing and Wu Haogu had a good relationship. These two guys did not have the new party's unanimous awareness of the external situation!

However, Zeng Bu couldn't say anything. He is now the deputy prime minister, and he is also the confidant of the official family.

In addition, Zhao Tingzhi had long told Zeng Bu about the change of ownership of "Wenquxing"... Now the owner of "Wenquxing" is Zhao Xiaoyi, a common man in Kaifeng, who is even bigger than the king's law. And it is hard to start to rectify it. If this "Wenquxing" is openly entrusted under Zhao Ji's name, then there will always be one of the yamen such as the Nei Assistant Provincial Department and the Hanlin Academy (not the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy).

But it's Zhao Xiaoyi... Although everyone knows that Zhao Xiaoyi is Zhao Ji, as long as Zhao Ji doesn't admit it in the court, it will be difficult to deal with.

So Zeng Bu said that, but after that, he opened the newspaper and read it, and couldn't even bother to eat.

“Huh?”

Zeng Bu's face suddenly changed, but his eyes froze.

At this time, he was looking through the content on the second page, which was indeed an interview article about the fire in the Beida camp in Zhou!

The article uses the words and questions and answers of the city to describe the fire in Beida camp in the prefecture. It includes the previous intimidation and harshness of the clerks in Taifu Temple, the struggle between the two sides at the time of the incident, the process of breaking through the back door of the camp, the process of ignition of the fire and the process of putting out the fire, and the process of Lu Benzhi being captured.

Although the text is vulgar, the process of the incident described is very detailed! Moreover, it seems that more than one person was interviewed by the so-called "recording person" of the so-called "Wenquxing Xunbao", but there are more than a dozen people, all of whom are real names, and they are all old people living in the military camp in the north of the state.

Although the incident process they said was fragmented, when spliced ​​together, the entire incident was clearly visible, and martial arts was launched, and fires were triggered during the military operation... Although it was not intentional arson, the responsibility was undoubtedly Lu Jia asked the father and son!

In addition, in this interview, it was also about a filial son Zhou Da who escaped from the attic of a burning house with an 80-year-old father on his back and broke his right leg... Zhou Da and his father Zhou were homeless because their house was burned and they were begging for food in the north of Zhou. It was not long ago that Wanjia Real Estate took over the north of the Zhoubei Military Camp and took them to the three-story tube building next to the Gonghe Building, and arranged for Zhou Da to make a living by guarding the door of the Gonghe Building.

During the interview, Zhou Da’s father, Old Man Zhou, also cried about his “filial son who saved his father and asked him”. He was in his forties because he had no house and no money, so he couldn’t even marry his wife. It was so pitiful. If it weren’t for the kindness and righteousness of the officials of Wuhan University, his father and son would have died of starvation!

After this interview, the "recording man" also interviewed Qu Huajie, the shopkeeper of Wanjiaxing who took over the demolition work of Beidaying in Zhou, and Huang Shusheng (Huang Wulang), the general manager. In the same question-and-answer language, Qu Huajie and Huang Shusheng introduced the compensation plan for the "Zhoubei Military Camp demolition" and the construction arrangements for the project.

Unlike the previous Taifu Temple method, Wanjiaxing recognized the "permanent residence right" owned by residents in the northern military camp of the state and was willing to compensate the property rights houses with "original demolition and original construction".

In other words, as long as the residents who live there are willing to move out temporarily, they can get at least one-bedroom "tube building" after the project is completed. It is free and has the property rights!

Considering the location of the Zhoubei Military Camp (much better than the Fengqiumen project that Wanjia Real Estate had done before), the value of the "one-bedroom household" is at least 1,500 yuan! For the common people in Kaifeng Prefecture, this is also a huge sum of money.

Moreover, Wanjia Real Estate did not take out one set or two sets to compensate, but instead took out more than two hundred sets at one time, including "one-bedroom households" and more expensive "two-bedroom households". The total cost is probably no less than 500,000 yuan!

According to Huang Wulang's introduction, after the land in the Zhoubei Military Camp has been resettled, up to 200 units of "two-room households" tube buildings and 60 shops can be built. Among them, 200 sets of "two-room households" will be delivered to the Dianqiansi for free, and the remaining 60 shops will be sold publicly by Wanjiaxing to compensate for the construction costs. It is expected that after the entire project, there will be a profit of tens of thousands of dollars.

Obviously, these two interviews are simply ulterior motives! On the one hand, we must discredit the late filial son Lu Benzhi, and we must also clean up the mastermind behind Wu Haogu; on the other hand, we must use a set of demolition plans that benefit the unruly people to apply makeup to the prodigal businessman Wu Haogu!

You can imagine that those unlucky people in Kaifeng Prefecture who don’t live in can definitely give up the thumbs up after seeing these two interviews, and praise Wu for being kind and righteous.

Even the students in the Imperial College will probably change their views on the "Zhoubei Military Camp Fire" and the unscrupulous businessman Wu Haogu...

"It's still Wanjia Guild doing business!"

In this room where the juggernauts are dedicated to dining, there are others reading these two interviews, and I don’t know who sighed.

Zeng Bu suddenly woke up, picked up the newspaper, stood up suddenly and walked out.

"Zixuan, you are leaving before you eat this meal?" I don't know who started shouting again.

"I'm going out for a walk and I'll take a leave in the afternoon."

"But there are still many..."

Before the man could finish his words, Zeng Bu had already hurried out of the wing room. Then Li Qingchen, who had just worshipped the minister of the disciple, also stood up and nodded at Han Zhongyan: "Shi Pu, I'll go and see Zeng Zixuan."

He is Han Zhongyan's brother-in-law, but he is a general of the New Party and is a mortal enemy of the Er Su brother. He was also reading an interview in "Wenqu Xing Xunbao" just now, and of course he knew that these two interviews were not simple!

So he had to discuss solutions with Zeng Bu, An Tao, and Zhao Tingzhi, the core generals of the new party.
Chapter completed!
