"Ms. sir, there is... there is... a statue of you." The housekeeper became anxious and stammered.
When Uncle Xie Fang heard this, he was overjoyed and burst into laughter: "Is there a statue that someone could build a shrine for me?"
He is now in a state of embarrassment and has been called the traitor Qin Hui by the common people. This is when he needs a reputation.
If someone builds a shrine for him, he only needs to stay in Qiongzhou for two or three years before returning to the court.
"A shrine?" Butler Xie Chenghua felt confused after hearing this.
Uncle Xie Fang's originally green and purple face turned red now, and he asked urgently: "Zizhang, where is the statue?"
"At the Ewang Temple." Xie Chenghua hesitated and finally answered.
Uncle Xie Fang was even more happy when he heard this.
With the help of "Da Song Zhonghua Bao", Yue Fei of the Ewang Temple had a very high status among the people.
In order to improve the status of Yue Fei and his military commanders, Zhao Ping held an essay contest for the King of Hubei, including poems and poems.
Of course, the prizes are extremely rich. One first prize winner will be rewarded with one hundred copper coins; ten second prize winners will be rewarded with twenty copper coins; fifty third prize winners will be rewarded with five copper coins; the rest are encouragement prizes, a total of one hundred people. , the rewards also always include copper coins.
Uncle Xie Fang didn't want to participate at first, but the money was too much, so he quietly participated.
However, he did not dare to lose face, so he did not participate in his own name, but in the name of his staff Xie Zhong.
To Uncle Xie Fang's surprise, he was not included in the third-tier list of January.
Finally, he finally had a list of one hundred names for the encouragement award, and Xie Zhong's name was discovered only among the last few.
His face is extremely ugly, and his poems and articles can only be ranked after one hundred.
In other words, if poetry and poetry are used as the imperial examination, he will not have a share in the Jinshi examination, only fellow Jinshi will have his share.
Seeing this ranking, his face turned livid and gloomy to the extreme.
In his opinion, with his talents as prime minister, there is no problem in being ranked first, but there should be no problem in being ranked among the top three.
Later, he read the poems of Wen Tianxiang, the first prize winner, and felt ashamed.
Letting go of the first prize, he couldn't help but blush after reading the poems of Mou Zicai and Hong Tianxi, who won the second prize.
This is actually on par with Xie Fangshu's level of poetry. Although he was the prime minister, he did not have a single poem circulated in history, even worse than military generals such as Yue Fei and Yu Jie.
Since poems cannot make people famous, now they can have a statue of Shengsi in front of Ewang Temple, which can also make them famous.
People all over the world like to visit the Ewang Temple, so naturally they can also visit his shrine, and his reputation will naturally grow.
Xie Chenghua's face changed several times, hesitated for a few times, swallowed hard, and Zhang finally said: "My husband, you are not the kind of person who lives in a temple."
"Isn't it the kind of living temple, or that kind?" Uncle Xie Fang frowned and asked in confusion.
Xie Chenghua's old face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he said in a nagging voice: "It's not the kind of temple."
"It's not the kind of temple, but what kind of thing is it?" Uncle Xie Fang glared at Xie Chenghua and asked coldly.
Xie Chenghua hesitated for a few moments, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said harshly: "That's the kind of person Qin Hui is."
"What kind of Qin Hui?" Uncle Xie Fang didn't understand for a moment.
"Now the Ewang Temple not only has the kneeling statues of Qin Hui and five other people, but also the kneeling statues of Xianggong you, Xianggong Xu, Chen Yushi, Wu Yushi, and Yu Guanren." His steward Xie Chenghua trembled. Pointing in the direction of Ewang Temple in West Lake, he said.
After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
As soon as he cried, the whole family burst into tears uncontrollably.
Now everyone knows that the Xie family is finished, everything is finished.
A prime minister like Uncle Xie Fang has been languishing outside for several years. It is not impossible for him to be reinstated if there is a chance.
But there must be a key prerequisite, and that is reputation.
Now his kneeling statue is kneeling in front of the Ewang Temple and is ridiculed by everyone in the world.
Not to mention not being able to come back and become prime minister, he would be ridiculed by the local people even in Qiongzhou.
A Qiongzhou person who kneels in the Ewang Temple will also regard him as a shame!
Uncle Xie Fang suddenly vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground with a bang, splashing dust all over the ground.
The official at the Yushitai fanned the dust with his hand, looked at him contemptuously, covered his nose and said, "It's bad luck. It's really bad luck."
Xu Qingsou had been thinking about it and felt completely puzzled.
Do you know the reason why Uncle Xie Fang was deprived of his official status and official hat, and was so angry that he fainted in the court?
He thought about it for a while, and finally remembered that it seemed that Lizong had thrown a newspaper to him.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingsou waved to the newsboy.
A newsboy was a little surprised when he saw a thin man who could fall over in the wind waving to him.
But when he took a closer look, he saw an old man wearing purple official uniform, who was obviously a high official.
He immediately went over and handed a newspaper respectfully.
When he opened the newspaper, he was shaking all over and almost fainted.
However, he was also a person who had seen strong winds and waves, and finally calmly called the sedan home.
Unexpectedly, after getting on the sedan, some people shouted: "Qin Hui, the traitor, Qin Hui, the traitor."
Xu Qingsou wondered why Qin Hui was kneeling in the Ewang Temple. Why were he shouting so randomly?
Just when he felt confused, there was a banging sound, and something seemed to be thrown on his sedan.
It was nothing more than throwing it on his sedan chair, and he also smelled a very bad smell, like rotten eggs.
"Ouch!" his bearer suddenly shouted, and it turned out that he was hit by a stone.
The other bearer was even worse, with not only rotten vegetables but also yellow rotten eggs on his face.
The two bearers immediately threw down the sedan and ran to the side with their heads in their hands.
Seeing the two bearers leaving, one couldn't wait to run to the sedan.
He opened the curtain, picked up the rotten eggs in his hand, and threw them at the people sitting inside.
Xu Qingsou still didn't know why the sedan had stopped, and was scolding the bearer.
Suddenly he saw a flash of light, and then a white oval-shaped object flew towards him.
Bang bang, he felt a pain on his face, and then a strong smell of rotten eggs spread in the sedan.
It wasn't over yet, with a snapping sound, a handful of stinky vegetables hung on him and his hair.
Before he could react, gray objects flew towards him one after another, and a banging sound came from his forehead, making him make an ouch sound in pain.
At this time, people outside were shouting about the traitor Qin Hui and throwing rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, stones, etc. at him.
Xu Qingsou could no longer stay here, so he hurriedly got out of the sedan with his face covered, and ran toward home in embarrassment.
However, the common people did not let him go, still throwing and shouting.
An hour later, Xu Qingsou finally returned home in embarrassment.
When I got home, I encountered officials from Yushitai raiding my home.
Seeing Xu Qingsou's embarrassed look, the Yushitai official had no choice but to turn his head and cover his mouth desperately to prevent himself from speaking out.
Although the Yushitai officials raided his home, they treated him politely.
After all, he is the deputy prime minister, and he still has a reputation, so he can be reactivated through some operations.
Although it is not necessarily possible to participate in politics and become a governor, according to the court's practice, there is no problem in becoming a governor.
Although Xu Qingsou's home was ransacked, he did not panic.
At this time, his butler stumbled back and was knocked down by the threshold.
Xu Qingsou didn't know why the housekeeper was like this, so he had to ask why.
The housekeeper burst into tears and told the shocking news that a kneeling statue of himself suddenly appeared kneeling in front of the Ewang Temple!
After all, he was old and mature. After calming down, he found a stool and sat down.
He sat on the stool and drank tea, thinking about the reason.
Xu Qingsou's face was ashen and as gloomy as water, and his voice trembled as he asked: "Steward, who else is kneeling in the Ewang Temple?"
"Ms. Xian Gong, in addition to you, there are also kneeling statues of Xie Xian Gong, Chen Yushi, Wu Yushi, and Yu Guanren." The butler replied while wiping his tears.
"Kneeling statues of Xie Xianggong, Chen Yushi, Wu Yushi, and Yu Guanren" Xu Qingsou was deep in thought while drinking tea.
He hurriedly took out the newspaper from his sleeve, reading it and thinking.
Xu Qingsou suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
Why did Yu Jie resign at this time, why did Zhao Ping hire him as the headmaster of Zhaojiazhuang Academy, and why did their kneeling statues appear in front of the Ewang Temple at almost the same time.
He stood up from the stool, slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "Zhao Ping, you are so cruel."
After saying that, Xu Qingsou's eyes went dark and he fainted immediately.
The housekeeper was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and pinched Xu Qingsou's body.
After a cup of tea, Xu Qingsou came back leisurely.
After he woke up, he heard his wife, concubines and children crying loudly.
Xu Qingsou's eyes were red, he opened his eyes angrily and hissed.
He suddenly pointed at the Yushitai official and said: "Zhao Ping, you are so hateful, I will fight with you."
After saying that, he suddenly rushed forward, baring his teeth and claws like a madman, first tore the clothes of the Yushitai official, then hugged the Yushitai official, opened his mouth, and bit the shoulder he hugged hard.
This supervisory censor is called Wu Yi, and he is twenty years younger than him. He finally got a great opportunity to copy the current deputy prime minister who is participating in politics.
In Wu Yi's view, the bigger the official, the more money he will make!
He didn't expect it, but he was bitten hard by him thinking he was someone else!
In addition to the pain, he secretly cried out for bad luck while the soldiers hurriedly separated him from Xu Qingsou.
Wu Yi covered the wound while pointing at Xu Qingsou and said: "I want to scare you. Don't you have merit? In the name of being disrespectful, I will scare you with your merit."
Chen Dafang and Wu Sui were both from Yushitai, and the person who ransacked the house was also from Yushitai!
For the sake of his former colleagues, he did not search the house that day, but came to search the house the next day.
This is to give him face and an opportunity to transfer his property.
Both of them are famous, and they are doing the work of being a censor, which can easily offend people. With their clear names as censors, the possibility of being used again in the future is very high.
Unexpectedly, news spread throughout the capital that made Chen Dafang and Wu Sui despair!
Their kneeling statues kneel in front of the Ewang Temple, and together with Qin Hui and his ilk, they will be cast aside forever by the world.
However, when I heard that their statues were kneeling in the Ewang Temple, I knew that their reputation was completely ruined!
The two of them knew it was over. This time they were completely doomed. They were completely in despair.
Before their Yushitai colleagues ransacked their home, the two did something crazy.
Chen Dafang poisoned his family's food with frost, and the whole family committed suicide!
Wu Sui, on the other hand, set fire to himself while the whole family was sleeping.
Soon, Lizong issued an order to appoint Ding Daquan and Dong Huai as the left and right prime ministers.
At the same time, Lizong refused Yu Jie's resignation, but asked Yu Jie to attack Xingyuan Mansion within two years.
Although Uncle Xie Fang was sent to Qiongzhou at the end of the world, digging holes for Yu Jie began to show results.
For Yu Jie, Zhao Ping drove away the wolf but welcomed the tiger and leopard!
Zhao Ping, who knew the historical process, knew that Ding Daquan, a famous traitor in history, was far more harmful than Uncle Xie Fang. It can be said that the Song Dynasty was ultimately destroyed in his hands.
As for Yu Hui, his fate was even worse.
As early as May this year, Yu Hui was awarded the title of acting Jing Zhaoyin.
Because Yu Jie withheld funds from the Imperial College, students in the Imperial College caused trouble, and one student died in the school.
The students in the Imperial College went on strike to write books and denounced Yu Hui as a "servant".
Even when Yu Hui went to court, he was intercepted by students from the Imperial College on the way, asking him to give an explanation.
In order to avoid being intercepted by students, Yu Hui even rented a boat and secretly crossed the Qiantang River.
If I can’t stay in Lin’an, where should I go?
He was agile in politics and good at maneuvering. He saw that Yu Jie was about to lose power. At the same time, all the barbarians in Sichuan had been expelled, and the situation had been completely controlled and calmed down.
What's more, there is Zhaojiazhuang, a rich man and a fat sheep! This is a great opportunity to go out and make money!
So he gave away the money he had earned through years of corruption in an attempt to succeed.
Now I heard that he was one of the murderers of Zhongliang and one of the kneeling statues of treacherous officials in the Ewang Temple. How could the prison chief be polite to him.
Let him sleep directly on the cold stone floor without straw as a cushion!
No quilt to cover you! And it stinks to the sky! He fainted immediately.
The next day, he was interrogated jointly by Yushitai and Dali Temple.
He objected to Yu Sunru's participation in the trial, but it was dismissed because the case was not directly related to Yu Jie.
This man was the main driving force behind his father's murder, how could Yu Sunru be so polite!
Directly following Zhao's principles of severity, speed and ruthlessness, and based on the evidence Zhao Ping arranged for Liu Yunliang to provide, he was directly convicted of embezzling a total of 100,000 yuan and being incompetent in governance.
Due to the heinous nature of his crime, after review by the Ministry of Punishment, the officials agreed that, despite his fame, the man would serve as a soldier and the woman as a prostitute.
It is equivalent to being completely thrown into the eighteenth level of hell.
His wife and daughter even became the playthings of other treacherous ministers such as Ding Daquan and others.
And what about Kuizhou’s establishment of Yao Shian?
Hearing that his backstage had collapsed and his conspiracy was exposed, he hurriedly led 1,500 confidants to Xingyuan Mansion and disappeared!
The other 1,500 soldiers and horses were led by his deputy Yang Cheng and took refuge with the capital commander Feng Yongcheng.
Feng Yongcheng was promoted to commander due to his merits in control.
When Yu Jie received the imperial decree, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For Yu Jie, the attack on Xingyuan Mansion was part of his plan.
The difference is that now the imperial edict clearly requires him to capture Xingyuan Mansion. This is the difficulty.
To attack Xingyuan Mansion, he would use his troops to fight the barbarians head-on.
You know, he used to occupy favorable terrain and let the barbarians attack.
Now it's reversed, the barbarian defends, and he attacks instead.
He was promoted to a bachelor of the Zizheng Palace and had the power to discuss affairs in the court, which was equivalent to the role of a political advisor.
At the same time, it also means a vague warning, so the official imperial edict is an edict.
Xie Daoqing, through Zhang Yin, vaguely expressed Lizong's dissatisfaction with the wording of Yu Jie's memorial, and Yu Sunru was easy to create ambiguity.
Zhao Ping knew that it was precisely these two points in history that Lizong, an official who lacked self-confidence, had a bad attitude towards the Yu family and his son.
