Chapter 940 The foreshadowing before the reform

Zhang Kegong, who was accompanying him, could no longer bear the treacherous ministers Cai Jing and Gao Fangping. Old Zhang also knew that his reputation was too bad and could not show his face in front of the emperor, so he kept winking at his brother Zhang Shuye, wanting Zhang Shuye to come forward to plead for Lin Rong.

In Zhang Kegong's opinion, there are problems with Lin Li, but they are not obvious. For example, when Gao Fangping bought land in order to build a railway, Lin Li did let the water go, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this matter was not very bad in terms of policy.

Then in the crackdown, in the handling of confiscating Taoist assets, the proportion of Lin Rong handed over to the state was too small in Zhang Kegong's opinion. Zhang Kegong was not the consul and did not know the difficulties faced by Kaifeng Prefecture. Xiao Lao Zhang just thought that Lin Rong had problems based on the idea of ​​the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Then, as a Jinshi, Lin Rong, the Bangcui, was pronounced incorrectly in public and was caught by the emperor who was famous for his knowledge. You are at least low-key, just like Gao Fangping, who only has a "Jinshi" and is not so hatred.

These are the Lin Li’s problems in Zhang Kegong’s eyes. But they can be forgiven for the time being. As for the Taoist issue, Lin Li is the first iron cavalry in Zhang Kegong’s eyes. Zhang Kegong feels that Lin Li still needs Lin Li in the current capital.

Unfortunately, Zhang Shuye also had his own considerations. The crackdown involved a large number of people. Someone must take the blame for this matter and the emperor must give an explanation. However, Cai Jing and Gao Fangping cannot take the blame. Therefore, even if Lao Zhang was extremely embarrassed and guilty, he could only accept that Lin Rong took the blame.

So Zhang Shuye did not respond to Zhang Kegong.

In general, the Junwu joke refers to other dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, the emperor's words could be questioned by the priest. Therefore, this is the dynasty with the most anti-order incidents. In addition to people like Wang Anshi who would do a big fight, even Cai Jing was in a fashion back then. For example, when Zhao Ji was willful and wanted to be appointed to the title of Tong Guan Kaifu Yitong Sansi, he was overthrown by Lao Cai and said bluntly: "The old minister refused to be appointed."

So now that the emperor said "Turn Lin Rong away to me", only the prime minister could refute it. Gao Fangping was one of the governors but not the prime minister. So in this occasion, only Lao Zhang could speak and turn Lin Rong's question back into a controversial event.

If Zhang Shuye doesn't refute, this matter will be really "no joke".

So after Lao Zhang was silent, Lin Qian sighed and said, "I am guilty and have failed the holy grace. I will give up."

After saying that, Lao Lin turned around and left.

As a result, with Zhao Ji's personality, the guilt has been strengthened a little.

Zhang Kegong was also in trouble and thought that those who could use it would sacrifice themselves. Instead, he kept the traitors well, so he went out strongly and said: "The old minister has something to say, I want to impeach the traitor Zheng Juzhong..."

Zhang Shuye hurried out and covered Zhang Kegong's mouth and said, "This old guy is drunk again. Hurry up and take him down to wake up."

Khan, Zhao Ji didn't dare to ban the Censor from speaking. However, given that his brother seemed to be talking about it, the guards really asked Xiao Lao Zhang to sober up when Zhao Ji didn't speak.

Of course, it seems that the effect is there. Now that Zhao Ji happened to think of the disadvantages of Zheng Juzhong, Zhao Ji does not need to really listen to Zhang Kegong's reasons for impeachment. Just seeing Zhang Kegong so excitedly say that Zheng Juzhong is a traitor can aggravate Zhao Ji's idea of ​​Zheng Juzhong.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji looked at Zheng Juzhong again.

Zheng Juzhong's cheeks twitched slightly, feeling that he was over. He was afraid that they would really be cheated to death by joining forces.

But Zhao Ji finally glanced at Concubine Zheng, who was invincible, and finally said nothing. He waved his hand without interest and said, "Let's just do it, I'm tired, go back to the palace."

...

After returning to the palace, Zhao Ji felt very annoyed. Now that Lin Lingsu is gone, Zhao Ji specially left Xiao Gao to talk alone.

"Little Gaoqing family, tell me, in front of everyone, did I treat Lin Li too much? He didn't even argue. The more I did this, I felt something was wrong." Zhao Ji asked hesitantly.

Gao Fangping shook his head and said, "It's not an exaggeration. The wise and wise official handled it well overall. Master Cai specifically brought this matter out for a reason. Of course, you have to respond to the prime minister's public remarks, but Lin Rong did not refute it, so it is normal to deal with Lin Rong for reason. It is also one of the obligations of him, a minister, as he is a minister. You can give certain compensation from other ways, let him go to Chengdu to do something, and give rewards in the future depending on the situation."

After hearing Gao Fangping's explanation, Zhao Ji felt a little relieved. He thought it seemed good, so he nodded frequently.

"What do you think about Zheng Juzhong... Xiao Gaoqing's family?" Zhao Ji suddenly said curiously.

Gao Fangping observed his words and expressions. This was an opportunity, but the time was still not yet ripe. So he said: "The actions of Zheng Juzhong are not too bad, and they are not very ruthless, but there must be problems. Zhang Kegong has a population that is unrestrained. He often says that the officials don't like to listen to, which is a bad characteristic, but there is no groundlessness. Zhang Gong is inappropriate but honest. Zheng Juzhong has made him so excited. Fortunately, Uncle Ye Gong stopped what he wanted to say in time and did not make things difficult for the officials. Otherwise, he listened to the problem comprehensively. In the case of Lin Rong, you will be more favorable than the other and not deal with Zheng Juzhong, and it will be bad if you don't respond to the Censorate. If you respond, the official family will be more difficult to step down and are easily entangled by the imperial concubine."

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "It's still the little Gaoqing family who understands me. This is the talent of your father Gao Qiu, which has been successfully passed to you. Yes, I'm just making things difficult for this."

Zhao Ji's feelings are not pretending, he is just an indecisive person. Since he is embarrassed by emotional face, it is not time to deal with Zheng Juzhong. Speaking of Lin Rong after being impeached by the priest, he will feel a little embarrassed, let alone his brother-in-law who has been employed together.

So Gao Fang rehabilitated and pretended to be loyal and sighed: "The official family is kind and thought of old feelings, and it is a blessing for the world. This is also the national policy set by my ancestors of the Song Dynasty. It is because of this. Let's keep Zheng Zhong. Anyway, Mr. Zhang didn't say everything, so you don't need to respond. Family harmony and everything will be prosperous. This is part of your family affairs. It's no big deal to protect your shortcomings. It will demonstrate your kindness and righteousness."

The saying that family is harmonious and everything goes well now touches Zhao Ji. I think of the stupid son named Zhao Huan and his mother-in-law. When I recall, they are the most worry-free and unlucky. It is really rare for other concubines and various relatives to have peace of mind, and there will always be problems of one kind or another.

After family affairs, Zhao Ji frowned again, and thought of his younger brother Zhao Wei coming to tell Zheng Juzhong's problem.

Actually, Zhao Ji really felt something was wrong. If it were just that guy Zhao Wei, Zhao Ji would think that the words were too much and that the family members would fight each other. But in addition to Zhao Wei, the upright Zhang Kegong was also so angry. In addition, Zhao Ji had witnessed Zheng Juzhong's urination with his own eyes at that time. These things were connected and deepened their memory, which was really not a trivial matter.

Shaking his head, Zhao Ji put it aside if he couldn't solve it, and escape for a while.

Zhao Ji said awkwardly again: "Grandpa Zhang... is indeed a bit too much, but what he said makes sense, and because he has always been fair, I can't find his fault for the time being. So, Xiao Gao, don't be too emotional about the railway issue."

Gao Fangping pretended to be very "depressed" and said, "In the end, he must be unable to twist his Lao Zhang. The entire robber snatched a lot of things from me. Although this Beijing-ring railway is not expensive and the construction is not hard, he found a problem. In order not to be chased and bitten, he had to give it to him."

Gao Fangping is stingy and stingy, and Zhao Ji also understands it very much, because Zhao Ji is also a wealthy person like him. So he thinks that this kid's performance is very down-to-earth. And he said this, it is equivalent to agreeing to give up the railway.

So Zhao Ji was in a good mood and clapped his legs and said, "Of course I know you are wronged, but sometimes there is nothing I can do. Even I have to compromise with him. In the early years, he tightly held the household registration warehouse and pretended to be stupid and reduced the amount of money paid to the royal treasury. I can't bear it? Fortunately, I heard that this is just the result of your ten-day construction, and the price is not high. At most, the materials and land purchase cost will be returned to you by the court."

Now Gao Fangping smiled and nodded yes.

By the way, Gao Fangping would hold the railway in his hand unless he was stupid. It was obvious that he wanted to find an opportunity to hand it over to the court, but he just said that he couldn't do it too fearlessly, which would seem too saint, not pork flat style.

This is the best way, Lao Zhang comes out to attract hatred, while Gao Fangping plays a role that is a bit aggrieved and a little bit awkward, but in the end, he will not lose money and know the general.

If he deliberately indulged Lao Zhang so arrogantly, the emperor would be embarrassed to come and grab the food.

Otherwise, according to the previous rules, Gao Fangping usually only handed over the things to the royal family rather than the court. But the railway is not an ordinary thing. Gao Fangping didn't even want to give this thing to the royal family. He had to form an iron precedent from the beginning and pinched it to the court. As a favorite minister, Gao Fangping himself was not convenient to attract the emperor's hatred. Lao Zhang, who brought his own lunch box, jumped out and made a fuss. He led the hatred, but the royal family no longer had the convenience to grab food on railway assets.

That's good!

Especially this incident set a precedent for the Song Dynasty, that is, it was Zhang Shuye who did not compromise on major issues and set a precedent for nationalization. And after encountering this problem, those who were awesome, such as Zhao Ji and Gao Fangping, compromised.

Then when Gao Fangping goes to the stage for reform in the future, there will be "judgment" on some issues, and the resistance will be much smaller and will be much more legitimate.

So, they were all weak, and this time, all of them were used by Gao Fang to rehabilitate and act loyally, thus setting the tone that major people's livelihood projects must be state-owned.

Avoid the emergence of the awesome families of Americans in the future. When they get angry, they will shut down nuclear power plants and railways in a region, forcing the White House and Congressional politicians to pass some bills they need.

What, compromise?

Without compromise, their private security company really dared to hold legal guns and hold the Declaration of Independence against the National Guard. So although the president was chosen by the people, he would definitely betray the people. Unless this stupid president wants to fight a civil war or be assassinated and impeached, the person who was sitting in the White House would be crooked because other sharks would put the chair in a crooked manner. When the person who was too straight sat down, he would definitely fall to paralyzed.
