So why did Wu Kui turn against the water at this critical moment?

Wang Anshi!

For Wang Anshi, Wu Kui and Zeng Gongliang had a deep conflict. Han Qi took the opportunity to enter and stretch out a warm hand of friendship. Don’t underestimate Han Qi’s charm. So with Han Qi’s efforts, Wu Kui changed his view of Han Qi.

There are many reasons, such as Pu Yi, did I and Ouyang Xiu really make it?

At that time, the late emperor wanted to mess with Pu Yi, and the ministers could not do things with peace of mind, so we also made trouble. The late emperor was sick again, so should this country be managed? So he persuaded him seven times and eight times, and Wu Kui was mourning at home during that period, so he felt that everyone had wronged Han Qi, so he changed his opinion.

But he knew that he was not happy to do so, so he wrote a letter to ask for a dismissal.

Wang Tao was also furious, so he impeached Wu Kui'a's six crimes for being appointed to the Prime Minister, and deceived the world with six crimes. Wu Shen and Lu Jingque asked Wang Tao to remain in office, and impeached Wu Kui's intention to have the intention of being a king, counting his five crimes.

Shao Kang wrote a letter saying that the position of the Censor General is impeachment, and the yin and yang are in conflict, and the blame is governed. Wu Kui said that it is a censor, which is lost. What is a censor? Even the emperor can impeach it. Just like Zhao Zhen was exhausted and fainted when he was tired. Yanchen said that Zhao Zhen fainted when he was close to the woman. Did Zhao Zhen punish Yanchen?

He was just joining in the fun. Emperor, look, Wu Shen attacked Chen, but he was arrogant and honest, and he took the initiative to stand up and say justice. The truth is that Han Qi cannot be touched, but Wu Kui is easy to bully.

Zhao Xu was silent. He was waiting for Sima Guang and Lu Gong to write, but the two of them didn't say a word.

Zhao Xu knew that the time was not ripe and had no choice but to convert Wang Tao into a Hanlin scholar. He wanted to avoid the limelight. Everyone disagreed. He had no choice but to issue an imperial edict: Wang Tao, Wu Shen, and Lu Jing. He destroyed the ministers. Tao was appointed as the governor of Chenzhou, Wu Shen, and Lu Jing fined 20 kilograms of copper; Wu Kui was in power and impeached the Central Chief. Zhao Xu forced the imperial edict to be an internal critic. He did not leave for three days and he dismissed the Qingzhou.

Zhang Fangping replaced Wu Kui, and Zhang Fangping was not stupid, why? At this time, he could be involved in the Secretariat, so he said: "Han Qi has been telling him for a long time and will never rise again. Han Qi's meritorious service is in the royal family. I hope Your Majesty will regain Kui's position and entrust Qi with the order of the whole life."

According to the rules, if the minister impeaches the prime minister, the prime minister can no longer handle official duties and wait for the results at home.

Of course, Zhang Fangping is not Han Qi's person. But what will happen if he replaces Wu Kui and enters the Secretariat at this time? That will be a thorn in Han Qi's eyes and a thorn in the flesh. Before the matter is revealed, Zhang Fangping dared not offend Han Qi.

Sima Guang saw the situation and took the opportunity to say, "Wu Kui is famous all over the place. Now he has been dismissed by Wang Tao. I am afraid that the ministers will not be at ease, so they will be taken away one after another, and it is not appropriate to watch from all directions."

This is the general trend. In order not to make Han Qi suspicious, Zeng Gongliang also went to the palace to persuade Zhao Xu to keep Wu Kui. Zhao Xu had to use Wu Kui again.

So when Shao Kang was still messing around, Zhao Xu said helplessly to Shao Kang: "There is nothing else, you want to get up and sit lying down!"

Han Qi was the one who sat and lying down. He was just sitting and lying down at home, but he was powerless. At this moment, Zhao Xu was extremely angry and frustrated!

Han Qi returned to the Secretariat again. I am so honest. Little Emperor, why don’t you send a small yellow gate to capture me?

So Wen Yanbo also made a statement.

It is said that Wang Tao was very respectful to Han Qi, and Zhao Shu was about to use Cai Kang as the crown prince Zhan Shi, so Han Qi recommended Wang Tao. Cai Kang was disobedient and Wang Tao was his own person. So Wen Yanbo said, "Zhigui, do you still remember to teach Wang Tao Zhan Shi?"

Han Qi was ashamed and said, "I'm so sorry for you when I see things."

In fact, with these two conversations, the two bosses did not take Zhao Xu seriously. Why? Even if you mentioned Wang Tao, is he a minister of Zhao Xu or your disciple?

After saying that, Han Qi was preparing to take further revenge on Wang Tao.

Sima Guang came out again: "Wang Taocheng is guilty, but Your Majesty wants to open up a wide range of words, why doesn't Mr. Han tolerate it?"

This is the time. I said it at that time and would not offend Han Qi. Now, I said it. In the future, the little emperor will not hold him accountable even if he returns old accounts.

Now Sima Guang is getting richer, and Han Qi doesn't want to make Sima Guang rebel against him in the end, so he gives Sima Guang face and does not punish Wang Tao again. He also gives him peach and repays him with Li. Han Qi recommends Sima Guang as the chief censor. At this point, the plan to defeat Han started in early March, after the second leap month of March, ends in early April. At first, Zhao Xu won, but was completely defeated!

But the loser may not be a real defeat, and the winner may not be a real victory.

Han Qi only took a while and immediately discovered his embarrassing situation.

…………

As early summer comes, the leaves in the palace become denser again, and the sun shines these leaves in the palace, with light and shadow spots mixed.

Zhao Xu angrily pushed away the book in his hand and roared: "Ancestor's family law, ancestor's family law!"

Some people say that the Song Dynasty gathered the imperial power, but this statement was wrong. The Song Dynasty decentralized power and divided everyone's power. The Secretariat had the power, but it was supervised by the Censorate. At the same time, the prime minister could not be long-lasting and it was not easy to form a powerful minister.

However, if the Prime Minister of the Secretariat had the ability, his actual power would not be less than that of the emperor when he was there.

For example, the memorials from various places are first reviewed by the Secretary of the Central Committee, and the difficult memorials will be handed over to the emperor, and the emperor will then go to the Political Affairs Hall to discuss and handle them, or the major memorials will be reviewed by the emperor, but the emperor still does not count. They must be reviewed by the two-system officials and the Secretary of the Central Committee before they can become edicts.

Now Han Qi still handed the book to the palace, but they were all handled. Will Zhao Xu dare to change it?

At this moment, he saw a letter from Zhang Fangping and was interested, so he immediately sent someone to summon Zhang Fangping.

This note talks about national finance.

During the Qingli period, Zhang Fangping had presided over the three departments. For example, Jingde collected only more than 4.5 million guan, and nearly 20 million guan. Jingde wine class was 4.28 million guan, and more than 17 million guan. The salt class was 3.5 million guan, and nearly 8 million guan. Later, the commercial tax fell, only more than 8 million guan, but the wine class was slightly raised, more than 1.2 million guan, and the salt was slightly raised, more than 8 million guan. However, Zhang Fangping didn't know the following data if Zhang Fangping was not in the Sanshi.

They were only part of the various tax revenues of the Song Dynasty, and the others were also increased one after another. Where did this money go?

The reason is very simple. There are all kinds of redundant soldiers. In the fifth year of Qingli, he surveyed the number of unscrupulous soldiers. He increased his command of more than 860 and more than 400,000 people than Jingyoushi, so he planned to be of medium-sized unscrupulous soldiers, about 50,000 a year. He did not directly pay money, including money, food, cloth and some subsidies. If the cost of going out for a round of garrison was even greater, if fighting, it would be necessary to mention various consumptions and rewards and pensions.

The subsequent calculations are normal years. This redundant soldier alone will have to spend more than 20 million yuan a year. It is a scattered person, not a scattered person. One scattered person is a standard 1,000 yuan.

That is to say, it is more than 30 million in the current three-piece number.

Zhang Fangping may have heard some news, there is a black hole, but there is no need to hurry. All the money is spent randomly. As long as you save it one by one, the country will be healthy soon. For example, if you solve the redundant soldiers for more than 20 million, it will actually be more than 30 million, and 100 million black holes can be solved in three years. Of course, he doesn't know that the country's black hole is so big.

Now Wang Tao said it, Zhang Fangping said it, but unfortunately there was one person who didn't say it, Wen Yanbo.

Zhao Xu didn't say that Wang Ju wrote one by one, but where did Han Qi do it and how to execute it?

Zhang Fangping was brought in, and Zhao Xu said, "Zhang Qing, there is a note here, you can take a look."

In fact, this letter is divided into two parts, part of which is the south, and Zhao Xu cut it apart, so the first line in front of the big character, Wang Ju, said that Zhang Fangping did not see it.

Wang Ju asked Zhao Niannu to bring it to Zhao Xu again, so there was no seal talisman behind him. Zhang Fangping was surprised, which minister was submitting the memorial? Why is it so rude?

Zhao Xu said: "Zhang Qing, don't question it. There is one that I cannot make public, which is related to the internal warehouse matters. Therefore, I have cut this letter into two. This part is a state affairs, so let Zhang Qing take a look."

"So, is it the relatives or eunuchs who report the memorial?"

"Zhang Qing, don't you care about who's comments, please take a look."

Zhang Fangping looked carefully and said after reading it: "Okay, please implement it immediately. No, the suppression of Yinbu really requires you to do it slowly. However, Fangchang Hedu has the least controversy."

Wang Ju was not the first to propose redundant officials. Many people, such as Xiao Song, proposed the three redundant officials in Xiao Song style, the first redundant officials, the second to useless soldiers, and many monks and Taoists, who do not work for production, have begun to endanger the country. This is the third redundant.

But why is the problem of redundant officials not solved? For example, this official does not have several descendants, such as Cai Xiang’s three sons, and they will all be repaired. If one official goes down and three additional officials are available, how can it be less redundant?

However, it is not easy to move, and many officials will object to it once it moves. Therefore, it has become the most troublesome strategy among Wang Ju.

"You have noticed this controversy, too?"

"I still remember the new policy of Qingli. Who is this person? Why is he so familiar with gunpowder?"

"That's a humble minister. I don't want to publish him yet. Zhang Qing, I asked you to read this letter because I want you to further improve this letter. After all, that person's official position is too low, and he doesn't know much about some things."

"Who is it?"

"I will tell you then."

"Your Majesty must use it."

"Zhang Qing, this person is not a certain scholar and official, and he is so envious of the desire to benefit... I won't say it. Just think about it carefully according to this letter and observe it. There is no hurry. I want to rectify the country and prepare slowly, but it must be properly implemented."

"Here."

Zhang Fangping left the palace suspiciously.

The envoy of Xixia arrived.

The heads of the two countries died one after another, and they wanted to sue the funeral, and then sent envoys to come when they were buried.

Zhao Xu summoned Xue Zongdao.

Xue Zongdao first confessed his grief and then apologized, and then he entered the topic. What theme? First, he enthroned Li Bingchang. If he did not enthrone his title, he would not make any difference and would not be able to make a lot of benefits. Second, he would seek to reopen the market and third, he would ask the Song Dynasty to release tens of thousands of prisoners of war.

"Stop, stop," Zhao Xu said immediately.

These requirements are simply impossible. If you reopen the market, it depends on the situation. Li Bingchang is enthroned. These are all benefits. Even if you give it, you cannot give it at once. If you give it easily, you will not change it again.

As for those tens of thousands of prisoners of war, let alone Zhao Xu, even Sima Guang went down to deal with it, he would not be able to get it back.

Zhao Xu said: "Xue Zongdao, I ask you, why is the Liang clan of Xia Kingdom called the Lin Dynasty, the Imperial Palace, and the Commander?"

Empress Dowager Liang wants to be the real empress dowager, so why do you still want to enthrone?

Xue Zongdao frowned. The Song Dynasty has now begun to pay attention to intelligence. That would be troublesome, but he said, "Your Majesty, what's not true, I think it must be the hearing of the Chinese border army."

"I ask you again, why did you Xixia spend five thousand golds to assassinate me, the officials of the Song Dynasty?"

"What five thousand golds are there, maybe it's a joke that someone has made. For example, during the Qingli period, Chinese Prime Minister Xia Shun offered millions of guan to buy the head of the Tai Kingdom, and the Tai Kingdom also paid 3,000 citations to reward people for cutting off the head of Xia Shun. But what is the difference between a few million citations and a three thousand citations? Who has hurt Xia Xianggong and the Tai Kingdom?"

This is a joke, the dignified Xia Shun head is only worth three yuan.

Li Yuanhao is really not guarding when the head order comes out?

This is not easy to assassinate Li Yuanhao, but if Xixia spends millions of yuan to buy Wang Ju's head, it is guaranteed to buy it within half a year.

However, when it comes to this matter, the Song Dynasty was indeed embarrassed. Zhao Xu said unhappily: "I don't like to hear such jokes, whether it is a joke or not. If you Xixia want to enthrone, reopen the trade and restore peace, I am happy. However, for similar jokes, please send someone to stop them immediately. If there is no such news on the border, I will agree to some of your requests."

Not to mention those tens of thousands of prisoners of war, even these thousands of prisoners of war Zhao Xu doesn't want to be released for the time being.

Why?

Please see the labor composition of Zheng Baiqu.

As the late winter comes, Zhengbaiqu will definitely not be able to construct it. At most, a blasting eye can be drilled and appropriately blasted. The actual construction time is only ten months.

Within this ten months, the people have to farm, and their construction time is actually only three or four months.

The wing soldiers will be a little longer, but it will only last five or six months.

The Poche Army has the longest time, but they are in a combat military field and need to train during construction. At least two months have to be taken out for training.

Moreover, the logistics support of these people cannot be neglected. However, those prisoners of war in Xixia can use whatever they want. How much impact will the five thousand permanent laborers have on the early completion of Zheng Baiqu?

Now Zhao Xu has a good excuse to delay time, so why not delay? It was not Xixia who gave money to the Song Dynasty, but Xixia, not the Song Dynasty.

This matter was abandoned.

But Sima Guang came, and then said that the monks should be cultivated, benevolent, Ming, Wu, the key to governing the country. Officials, trustworthy rewards, and punishments will be imposed. The Six-character true scriptures were learned by the old ministers throughout their lives. His martial arts could not be taken seriously, and it was even more powerful than the martial arts in fantasy novels, and it was hard to imagine. So after Sima Guang repeatedly fooled him, Zhao Xu had to issue an edict to release Sanbaiqu prisoners of war.

Why? The enemy is unrighteous, I must be benevolent. Only those who are benevolent are invincible, and the real martial arts are the ones. The people of Xixia must see the sincerity of peace in the Song Dynasty, so that the border can be safe and sound, and the national finance will not be under pressure...
