Uncle Xie Fang was so happy that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. The officials really trusted him.
But he was always serious, but his face was extremely solemn and he said: "I recommend Jingzhao Yin Yu Hui Yu Yang Ming."
"How much money was collected?" Lizong asked calmly without commenting, his face unmoved.
Uncle Xie Fang didn't have time to think, so he blurted out: "One thousand is now two silver."
Lizong didn't speak anymore, but had a sneer on his face.
Uncle Xie Fang felt something was wrong. How could he blurt it out? How did the officials know that he had received money?
Although it is winter now, the weather is already very cold.
Thinking of this, cold sweat ran down his face.
Lizong didn't wait for him to think, his expression became even colder, and he continued: "How much gold did Yao Shi'an give you?"
Uncle Xie Fang's face was extremely ugly and embarrassed, and everyone could see that he was sweating.
He swallowed his saliva and answered with difficulty: "I didn't collect it, I collected the gold... I collected a hundred taels."
After saying that, he lowered his head and was about to take off his official hat.
Lizong's face was as gloomy as water, and he threw a white and thin newspaper at his feet that he had never seen before.
This was a newspaper that had just come out in Zhaojiazhuang. It was not only white, but also thin. This was the first time Uncle Xie Fang had encountered it.
Lizong was not angry but smiled and said: "My good prime minister, you collect gold and silver while destroying military commanders. Are you so loyal and patriotic?"
After hearing this, Uncle Xie Fang seemed to have aged ten years.
In full view of everyone, I had to bend down to pick up the newspapers thrown by the officials.
But what he didn't expect was that it would be an extremely difficult process for him to get newspapers from the ground.
Because he was extremely obese, his abdomen was extremely swollen and it was difficult to bend down.
If he were at home, he wouldn't have to pick up the newspapers by himself. A servant would naturally pick them up.
But this was an order from the imperial court and an official, so I had to take it personally.
At the same time, he also wanted to see what was in the newspaper that made the officials so angry.
After thinking about it, Uncle Xie Fang was panting and leaned on the ground with his right hand to support his body weight, and struggled to get the newspaper with his left hand.
Lizong looked at Uncle Xie Fang's every move coldly, and then said coldly: "You are indeed my good prime minister. He has eaten a lot of silver and gold, and he can't even bend down anymore."
Uncle Xie Fang couldn't wait to open the newspaper regardless of the officials' cynicism.
The first page of the newspaper was a rubbing of Yu Jie's resignation memorial. Uncle Xie Fang was very happy, and he found real evidence that Yu Jie had no regard for the emperor.
After reading it, I realized that Yu Jie was begging the officials to resign from all his actual and fictitious positions, including Minister of War, Zhizhi Envoy, etc., and begging for his body to return home.
That's fine, but what's abominable is that Zhao Ping hired Yu Jie as the principal of Zhaojiazhuang Academy.
Actually, it was nothing, but there was one thing that made Uncle Xie Fang stunned.
Is there such a high salary in the world?
If Zhao Ping hired him, he would rather resign as prime minister and pour the chamber pot for Zhao Ping every night.
Oh my God! The salary of the director of Zhaojiazhuang is one thousand delivery cards per month!
Not only is the quantity astronomical, but this pickup card is easier to use than real copper coins!
Not to mention that the salaries of these court officials were Huizi, and their real income was less than one-tenth of the salary Zhao Pingkai gave Yu Jie.
Although Uncle Xie Fang is also the prime minister, he is actually "too poor"!
Because Huizi was worthless at all, he "had" to take risks to accept the real money from Yu Hui and Yao Shi'an.
What made Zhaojiazhuang willing to spend so much money? What did the college do?
Is it worth spending so much money to hire Yu Jie as the mountain chief?
The following is an introduction to Zhaojiazhuang College, which includes the School of Classical Literature, the School of Geosciences, the School of Arithmetic, the School of Medicine, etc. It seems to be the same thing.
But what about students? Where is sir?
Uncle Xie Fang's face twitched. With Yu Jie, a famous person in the world, as the mountain leader, wouldn't teachers and students rush to sign up?
What's more, the salary of Zhaojiazhuang Academy is even more amazing, and Zhao Ping is also known as a little saint.
When he opened the second page with trembling hands, the title was "Prime Minister Xie's bomb was bombarded by the remaining system to make it pass."
One of the contents is that Yao Shi'an has not made any military exploits. Because he has Uncle Xie Fang's backing and does not listen to orders, he wants to climb up to the position of Dutong from the commander, but Yu Jie rejects it.
So Yao Shi'an went to Uncle Xie Fang's nephew to thank him, gave Uncle Xie Fang a hundred taels of gold, and asked Uncle Xie Fang to remove Yu Jie from power and promote him to the position of governor.
And where did the gold in his hands come from? One was drinking the blood of soldiers, and he deducted more than 50% of his soldiers; the second was smuggling, smuggling the weapons of the Song Dynasty to the Hu people to make huge profits.
The second is that in order to become the envoy of Sichuan, Yu Hui gave Uncle Xie Fang one thousand taels of silver, Xu Qingsou 800 taels of silver, Chen Dafang and Wu Sui three thousand taels of silver, asking them to frighten Yu Jie and recommend him to be the envoy. Sichuan should be appointed as an envoy.
Yu Hui asked where the money came from. It was naturally obtained through corruption.
In addition, a new column suddenly appeared in the newspaper, called our newspaper's comments, with a particularly attractive title, "Someone in the Imperial Court Wants to Be Qin Hui."
Uncle Xie Fang didn't need to read the content. After saying "little people" a few times, he suddenly fainted on the marble floor with the newspaper.
Seeing Uncle Xie Fang fainting like a fat pig, Lizong waved his hand and the imperial guards took him away.
Lizong then glanced at Xu Qingsou, the political governor, Wu Sui, the imperial censor, and Chen Dafang, the supervisory censor, who were in a dilemma in the middle of the court, and then said: "How much money did you three receive? Why did you frame Zhongliang?"
The three of them looked at each other and answered with difficulty: "I'll wait... I'll wait... I'll wait..."
Lizong couldn't help but smile coldly, pointed at the three of them and said: "Okay, if you don't want to admit it or deny it, you just took the money and framed Zhongliang. If you dare to do it, why do you dare to do it? Come here. Peel off the official He took off his official hat, ransacked his home, and was sent to prison three thousand miles away."
The imperial guards came forward, stripped the three of them of their official uniforms, took off their official hats, and then escorted them out.
Yu Hui had already fallen to the marble floor at this time, trembling all over and his face was pale. A pool of liquid was clearly flowing out of the ground, and the smell was already emanating from the middle.
Lizong couldn't help but sneered: "Such a coward dares to fight against the barbarians. Maybe he has gained courage by drinking the blood of soldiers. Come on, please remove Yu Hui's official status, take off his official hat, and throw him into the sky prison."
After handling the affairs of the court, Lizong returned to Qinzheng Hall in the harem angrily.
In one breath, he swept all the official documents, pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the desk to the ground, and "crack, bang, bang" kept coming from the ground.
Lizong threw the Jingdezhen version of the teacup on the marble floor again, smashing it into pieces with a "crash, clatter, clatter".
The eunuchs and maids looked at Lizong, whose eyes were red, and stood beside him tremblingly, looking at the marble floor wholeheartedly, not daring to raise their heads.
Lizong panted and finally sat on the Arhat chair, then looked at Dong Songchen and asked: "I'm so angry. Corruption among civil servants is common, and military generals dominate. This Zhao Ping is so reckless that he can't do big things. Songchen, tell me. , that can make people feel at ease.”
Dong Songchen raised his head and glanced at Lizong, and soon looked down at the ground and said, "This old slave doesn't know."
"Then let me answer you." A gentle and kind voice came over.
After saying that, she bowed her head and slowly picked up the official documents, pens, inks, papers and inkstones that Lizong had thrown on the marble floor one by one.
"Ziluo, why are you here?" Lizong looked at the woman in front of him, and his anger subsided a little.
Although he doesn't like this woman, he still respects her.
Seeing that most of Lizong's anger had subsided, the eunuchs and maids breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly cleaned the floor. Xie Daoqing gave Lizong a gentle look, and then said: "Guan family, if it hadn't been reported in the newspaper today, would the civil servants still be reassuring?"
"It won't take ten years for scholars to rebel. Military officers and weapons are always available." Lizong thought for a moment and sighed.
This is his urinary nature. Even so, he still believes in civil officials.
Xie Daoqing nodded and said: "Military generals do have military power, but civilian officials are not harmful? If the newspaper does not disclose it, Yu Jie may be another Yue Fei. Now that the Hu people are pressing down on the country, I don't want to have any other gifts. "
The ritual of leading a sheep was a shame to the entire Song Dynasty!
All the women in the royal family had to expose their upper bodies to show that they were allowed to do whatever they wanted, and the queen was forced to commit suicide.
The concubines who did not commit suicide were forced to receive hundreds of guests a day, and the princesses were turned into prostitutes and auctioned off in public.
Lizong gritted his teeth tightly and slammed his fist on the table, not even feeling pain from his fist.
However, he remembered the tone of Yu Jie's memorial, and slammed his fist on the table, and said bitterly: "Has this old guy Yu Jie ever respected me as much as the emperor?"
"Has Yu Jie ever harmed the imperial court?" Seeing Lizong's angry look, Xie Daoqing thought about it and asked calmly.
Lizong thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "How can this old guy be so arrogant and arrogant that others can tolerate him?"
"After all, Yu Jie dropped out of school and stepped forward to kill Hu. He was not a Jinshi, and his temper was wrong." Xie Daoqing sighed, slowly shook his head and said, "In the official family, no one is perfect, and gold is not pure gold."
Lizong angrily pulled out a sword from the wall, waved a cup of tea, and then said angrily: "Next time I come to the capital, I will definitely ask someone to beat him several times."
"Guan family, what are you going to do with Yu Jie?" Xie Daoqing felt a little worried when he saw that Li Zong's anger was almost gone.
Lizong drew out his sword and struck it hard on the desk, causing sawdust to fly everywhere.
He said bitterly: "Don't he want to be the dean of Zhaojiazhuang College? Then he should be the dean of this dean. Also, that Zhao Ping is really hateful. He reported Yu Jie's resignation with such a big fanfare, where would I put my face?" ?”
"Those civil servants say they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but what is the reality? Not to mention cheating ministers to collect money, it also damages the reputation of the official family and the court." Xie Daoqing shook his head and said.
After hearing this, Lizong couldn't help but sit on the chair and remained silent while drinking tea.
Xie Daoqing added tea to Lizong's teacup, glanced at the palace, and then said:
"This Zhao Ping not only writes beautiful policies, he is also a good fighter, and he has made a lot of contributions to the palace. If it were not for his support, the palace would not be able to survive."
"This is happening. Why haven't I heard of it?" Lizong looked shocked. He could fit a duck egg into his mouth. He opened his mouth for a long time and asked in disbelief.
Xie Daoqing nodded, took out a ledger from his sleeve and placed it on the desk.
While flipping through the account books, she said slowly: "Zhao Ping and his concubines set up several workshops together. They got 60%, while Zhao Ping only got 40%. In the past two months, the palace's income has reached 100,000 copper coins." . I heard that Zhao Ping has launched other new things, and it is estimated that it is not impossible to earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of guan every year."
Lizong did not finish speaking. He drank tea and looked at the account book, lost in thought.
At this point, she smiled tenderly at Lizong and said: "The officials feel that life has been much easier in the past few months. Those civil servants are loyal and patriotic in their mouths, but Zhao Ping is really in their hands and in their hearts. This man is 20 years old The teeth are not big, even smaller than a baby's."
After hearing this, Lizong gently flipped through the account book with a thoughtful expression.
"Guan family, I want to ask you something." Seeing that Lizong was moved, he thanked Daoqing Wanfu and made a sudden request.
Hearing this, Lizong was a little puzzled and asked slowly: "What's the matter?"
