Remember [] in one second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-ups!
Chen Yizhong, a native of Wenzhou Prefecture on East Liangzhe Road. As a young student, he was famous for writing to impeach the minister Ding Daquan. He was also known as one of the six gentlemen. After entering politics, he also demonstrated his natural talent for political struggle. First, he took refuge in Jia Sidao and Qingyun went straight up. After Jia Sidao fell, he immediately fought back and was promoted to the prime minister. Empress Dowager Xie was forced to surrender and entrust Xing Dynasty to Chen Yizhong and Jiang Wanzai. In the process of exile, the prime minister still did not forget. In an internal fight, Wen Tianxiang was pushed out and Lu Xiufu was demoted. When the first little emperor died in fear of falling into the sea, Chen Yizhong went to Champa to borrow troops and never returned.
Nowadays, the exiled imperial court has come back to life, Yashan has a big victory, Lian Keguang, Quan Erzhou, punishes Pu Shougeng, forced Zhang Hongfan away, and seeks a firm foothold in the stream, opening the situation, Chen Yizhong, who is far away in Champa, hurried over to try to regain power. .
However, Wen Tianxiang had already taken the position of Prime Minister Right, and it was impossible to give it to Chen Yizhong. Moreover, as the former prime minister, Chen Yizhong could not hold a lower official position. So the court after deliberation, appointed Chen Yizhong as the important task of the military state of Pingzhang.
This official title was set during the Northern Song Dynasty. The position is above the prime minister. It is just the highest honor. It does not participate in the decision-making of the court. However, after the southern crossing, the military affairs of Pingzhang became the highest actual position of the court. Han Cheng, Jia Si Dao Du once held this position, dominating the military and political power. Now Chen Yizhong is the important task of the Pingzhang military state. In terms of face, everyone is able to live. In terms of lining, no one’s interests are harmed. After all, the military and political power has been divided. Chen Yizhong, an important matter of the military state of Ping Zhang, once again became an honorary post.
After Yashan, the trend of internal fighting in the court began to appear again. The government-in-exile was good at everything, except that there were too many staff, and they were all high-ranking officials. This group of people could not fight wars or do practical things. They only practiced poetry and fu, Drinking and drinking tea and prostitutes, as well as fighting each other and fighting for power, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu are hard-working people. Without them, Chen Yizhong immediately gathered these people together.
On a painting boat in Kaohsiung Harbor, Pingzhang Military State Major Chen and a group of third-grade or higher officials wearing purple robes and goldfish bags gathered together to talk about wine and joy. All present were unscrupulous scattered officials, who were of good quality and were not dispatched. The salary is small, and only by holding Chen Yizhong's thighs can there be a little chance of getting ahead.
Chen Yizhong was still in the stage of collecting intelligence. During the period when he left, many major events happened and he needed to understand the basic situation of the court again.
The scattered officials all talked and talked and said that Chen Yizhong had a general understanding. The court is divided into three factions. The strongest is still the generals headed by the cleric deputy, the marching marshal and the general manager Zhang Shijie, followed by Wen Tianxiang. The civil servants headed by Lu Xiufu, the third force is a newly joined group of monsters. They replaced the original back party and became the closest people to the Queen Mother Yang and the little emperor. Although the number was the smallest, the guy named Liu Yanzhi took the post. The commanders in front of the palace have military power in their hands, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Chen Yizhong has been in the political arena for many years, and he immediately made a decision. He took the sword before the party and held the front office in his hands. Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu are not their opponents. They are much worse in terms of qualifications and abilities. It's not difficult to balance the two of them. There is one Zhang Shijie left, but if you keep it, someone has to fight after all.
He has two cards in his hand. One is the Supervisor Yushi, and the other is Jiang Zheng. Needless to say, the Supervisor Yushi is a legal tool for biting people. Jiang Zheng is the son of Jiang Wanzai. This is an important chess piece. Chen Yizhong has thought it over. He squeezed Liu Yan straight out and reinstated Jiang Zheng. Only after mastering the Forbidden Army can he do things calmly. After all, the emperor was in exile. , Military power is the last word.
There are so many handles that Liu Yanzhi can grasp. He usually likes to eat and live with the common people and sergeants, plant rice seedlings in the fields, go hunting in the mountains. In the light of the light, it is misbehavior and delinquent. Buying people's hearts, intending to rebel, and that he often went in and out of the palace, and had a close relationship with the female officials around the little emperor. It is not wrong to put a hat on a dirty palace.
"Just do it for the time being." Chen Yizhong said.
"My lord, I'm afraid it won't work, so I'll startle the snake." A sensible official persuaded that the post-party is a real powerist, and a few fluttering words from the officer will definitely not defeat them, but will cause crazy revenge.
Chen Yizhong smiled without saying a word. He knew in his heart what the holy family of the sky is, and the mind of the People's Liberation Army is nothing. As long as he commits a big taboo, even if his merit is higher than the sky, it is useless. Did everyone forget how Yue Fei died back then? If the rumors are repeated a thousand times, they will become the truth. As long as Liu Yanzhi keeps propagating that Liu Yanzhi wants to rebel, the officials will naturally become suspicious.
But who came to the top has become a big problem. The officials present here are all human beings, and they can make suggestions, but they can’t charge. So the important task of impeaching Liu Yanzhi fell on the young supervisor Yushi, who was named Lu Yueli, who was formerly Xiangyang. The grand-nephew of the guardian Lu Wenhuan, Lu Wenhuan surrendered after defending Xiangyang for five years and became Boyan’s pawn. The Lu family was the only one who fled south by herself. He just followed the big army in Guangzhou not long ago. It's rooted in a strong temper, so it's most suitable for being a gun.
...
The Song Dynasty Xing Dynasty has gained a firm foothold in Liuqiu, and various laws have gradually returned to the right track. After many high-level games, the positions of civil and military officials have been adjusted. Wen Tianxiang no longer serves as a clerk, and gave this position to Zhang Shijie, himself It is a good thing for the court to only serve as the right prime minister, separate civil and military affairs, and avoid monopoly.
Every day, the Prime Minister You will handle daily government affairs in the capital. Every seven days, the civil and military officials report to the emperor in the court. This is called a court meeting. During the court meeting, Chen Yizhong, the political officer of the Pingzhang military state, will participate.
The next day, above the court, the supervisory official Lu Yueli sent a letter to the emperor, and formally impeached Liu Yanzhi, the commander and envoy of the former secretary of the palace, Liu Yanzhi and others, with the intention of rebelling.
This is a pole that overturned a boatman. Not only did Liu Yanzhi be impeached, but also all the Eight Immortals were put in. Lu Yueli was righteous and motivated. He knelt upright on the court, and the court did not immediately punish him. He won't get up to kill the traitor.
Chen Yizhong secretly said that it was not good. This little Lu was committed to making too many enemies. Not only did he participate in Liu Yanzhi, but he also participated in the party patriotism and others. This meant that he would offend the queen mother.
The little emperor was ignorant, sitting on the dragon chair and just playing. The Queen Mother Yang who was sitting behind the curtain was also panicked. Her family often visited the palace to give lectures to the emperor. Is this also necessary to avoid suspicion? This is called filthy chaos palace?
It's a shame that Liu Yanzhi and others are not present, or else there will be a disaster of blood and light on the court today with his temper.
According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, it is legal to supervise the impeachment of officials at any level and must be dealt with according to procedures. Empress Dowager Yang made a definite way: "Prime Minister Wen, how should you deal with it in your opinion?"
Wen Tianxiang is also an official from the grassroots level. He is very familiar with this set of methods of attacking political enemies. If you directly deal with Lu Yueli, then Chen Yizhong will succeed. If you follow the procedures to investigate and collect evidence, then you will inevitably be a loyal officer. He pondered for a moment and said: "This official wants to ask Lu Yushi to go around and watch some things, and I also ask Master Chen to be a witness."
Lu Yueli accepted, his big move has been released, no matter how the other party responds, his goal has been achieved.
Until now, Chen Yizhong had to bite the bullet and agreed.
Wen Tianxiang asked the Queen Mother to take the little emperor with him. Empress Yang understood that this was Wen Tianxiang's countermeasure and readily agreed.
The empress dowager and the emperor were accompanied by the prime minister, Pingzhang, military affairs and other ministers. They were light and simple, without ceremonial guards. There were only a dozen guards accompanied by imperial equipment and a group of people to the Kaohsiung Mansion. This was one of the lifebloods of the Song Dynasty. With almost all the food, money, and weapons and armor, if the treasury catches fire, then 300,000 soldiers and civilians will have to starve to death.
There are heavy traffic on the road, the road is smooth, and the rammed-soil compacted pavement is covered with a layer of gravel, so that it will not be muddy even after a heavy rain, and there are drainage channels on both sides of the road, and rows of red brick houses in the distance. It was distributed to the people free of charge by the imperial court, and even the palace was built of red bricks.
"If there were no red bricks invented by the party leader, 300,000 soldiers and civilians would still float on the sea, or live in straw huts." Wen Tianxiang said lightly.
Lu Yushi snorted coldly, and Chen Yizhong was noncommittal.
When the car arrived at the treasury, the officials guarding the treasury came to greet him. Wen Tianxiang ordered him to fetch the rockets from the arsenal.
After a while, a guide rail frame made of hardwood was sent to the crowd. On the frame were five long thin cylinders made of iron sheets, with iron wings like arrow wings in the middle and tail.
"This is the Flying God's rocket manufactured by the Military Equipment Supervisor of the Ministry of Defense according to the drawing of the party leader. It can fly three thousand steps. Whether it is land or sea battle, it is the first-class sharp firearm. With this weapon, our Great Song Navy will definitely Will be invincible at sea."
Lu Yueli whispered: "It's just a strange skill."
Chen Yizhong stroked his beard and did not speak. The old and cunning man already understood that the impeachment had failed.
Wen Tianxiang asked the treasurer to take out the account book and report on the grain inventory.
The library official said that there are 100,000 stones in the library, and based on half a catty of rice per person per day, it is enough for 300,000 soldiers and civilians to eat for three months~EbookFREE.me~ Wen Tianxiang asked again: "During the Battle of Yashan How much grain is there?"
The curator thought for a while and said, "The food stored at Yashan was exhausted, only dry food and salted vegetables."
Wen Tianxiang asked again: "How much of the grain in stock today is shipped from Guangzhou and Quanzhou."
"Return to your lord, the grain shipped from Guangquan and Quanzhou has been eaten long ago, and now the grain in the treasury has been changed by the Taishi."
"Master Chen, Master Lu, can you hear me clearly?" Wen Tianxiang said sarcastically.
"Demon way, demon way!" Lu Yueli suddenly pounded his chest and stood up, "The evildoer is in charge, the Song Dynasty is in danger."
Wen Tianxiang said: "Master Lu feeds his wife and child's salary every day, but it's all evildoers. I don't want to stop Master Lu's salary."
During his travels to exile overseas, the officials’ salaries were converted into grain and distributed. Lu Yushi could receive one hundred catties of rice a month. It was slightly difficult to feed a family of four, but he would not starve to death. You have to drink northwest wind.
