I studied in modern times

Chapter 277 Cai Jing: I am about to become famous!
The documents issued by the two palaces were quickly sent to the Yushitai.

Li Chang, the censor Zhongcheng, ordered people to copy it as usual, and then sent it to all the censors and supervisors. He also sent a copy to the admonishment court to Longtuge for preparation and Zhao Yanruo, the acquaintance of the admonition court.

After doing these things, Li Chang became the hands-off shopkeeper.

Since the censor Zhongcheng took office, he has adhered to the principle of governing by doing nothing on the censorship platform.

The censors of the new party and the censors of the old party can make trouble as they please.

As long as it doesn't get into his head, he will pretend not to know.

He only took action occasionally, impeached ministers, completed his KPIs, and spent the rest of the time reading at the Yushitai.

In his spare time, he either went fishing with Zhang Fangping in Jinming Pond, or followed Wen Yanbo to visit and sing in Yujin Garden.

It's exactly the same - I yearn for the pastoral scenery and am waiting to become an official.

But in fact, Li Chang didn't want to retire at all.

He is now obsessed with getting into the compilation team of "Yuanyou Dictionary".

Therefore, Li Chang only finished allocating the tasks and continued reading.

This made Liu Zhi very unhappy.

"This Li Gongze, since he was appointed as the censor Zhongcheng, he has not impeached any treacherous officials in the court!" He angrily complained to the king who came to see him: "I had three decrees before, but now I have to issue a Nuonuo Lieutenant Commander?"

Wang Zhen knew why Liu Zhi was so dissatisfied.

Because Liu Zhi originally thought that when Li Chang came to Yushitai, he would definitely lead the gentlemen to counterattack the villains of the New Party.

As a result, Li Chang was lucky and began to openly pretend to be deaf and dumb in the Yushitai.

Not only did he not impeach the treacherous ministers and villains in the capital hall, he also treated the villains in the imperial censor's office as usual.

In this case, wouldn't everyone be happy in vain?
Wang looked at each other and said softly: "Li Gong chose this person because he always wanted to write books!"

"His family's collection of books once amounted to nine thousand volumes. In the first year of Huangyou's reign, he donated all of them to Baishi Nunnery and set up Li's study room. To this day, the scholars and people of Luzhou still praise his virtues!"

This was Li Chang's feat when he was young.

All the family books were donated and allowed to be borrowed by the scholar-bureaucrats and common people.

Because of his example, the Li family's public house in Baishi'an, Luzhou is now the largest public collection of books in the world.

Over the past few decades, the cumulative collection of books has exceeded [-] volumes.

Countless literati and poets have borrowed it.

Among them were Su Shi, Su Che, Fan Zuyu, Fan Chunren, and even Sima Guang and Wang Anshi who had visited and donated the books they brought.

When Wang Zhan was young, he also went there because of its reputation and stayed in Baishi Nunnery for several months. When he left, he also donated the dozens of volumes of books he brought with him as usual.

He is extremely familiar and clear about these things.

"I heard that Li Gongze has always wanted to participate in the "Yuanyou Dictionary" with Zhang Jiedu, and he even intended to write a book to collect the financial management skills of the world's scholar-bureaucrats and the calculation methods of the world's officials since Huang You..." The king faced each other and said: "Since Li Gongze has this idea, how can he be willing to offend others?"

Liu Zhi listened and hummed twice.

The censor Zhongcheng became the hands-off shopkeeper, which was beneficial to them, but it also made the new party villains run rampant!
Huang Lu was dismissed, and Huang Jiang and others were demoted.

At the Yushitai, the righteous man had already gained the upper hand.

As a result, Li Chang agreed to Zhang Dun's proposal as soon as he took office and allowed Manzhong Xing, who had returned from his mission to the Liao Kingdom, to resume his original position - still serving as the censor and knowing about miscellaneous matters.

As a result, the Yushitai, where the gentlemen had the upper hand, once again fell into a tug of war.

There are three imperial censors and two new parties.

The most important thing, Shi Zhizhi, was also occupied by others.

Many things have become passive since then.

But they can only sigh!

"It would be great if Lord Sima entered the capital hall as soon as possible..." Liu Zhi said.

The king shook his head: "If Cai Zhizheng does not have a message from his Majesty, it will be difficult for Sima Gong to enter the capital!"

The positions in the capital are like carrots and pitfalls.

Although Cai Que has resigned as prime minister, as long as he has not resigned from the capital, the capital will not appoint a new governor.

This is the rule of officialdom and the dignity that a prime minister should have.

"When will Cai Chizheng leave Beijing?" Liu Zhi asked.

"I'm afraid it will take some time..." Wang Zhan replied: "We have to wait for officials from Fujian to come to Beijing..."

Of course, the prime minister needs to be graceful when he is informed.

Therefore, someone had to come to Beijing to greet him, and according to tradition, the Fujian transit envoy and others had to come to Beijing to greet him in person.

Otherwise, outsiders might think that the prime minister was demoted from Beijing.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Song Dynasty.

Therefore, there is now a situation in the capital where Han Jiang is the independent prime minister - although he has been the de facto independent prime minister since he became the prime minister.

Thinking about this, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and couldn't help but say: "Han Zihua is the sole prime minister in the capital, Lu Huishun Nuonuo can't object, Zhang Zihou, Zhang Suiming and others rely on Han Zihua..."

"The disadvantages of Xifeng cannot be completely eliminated, and the world is extremely disappointed!"

Wang Qiang quickly whispered: "Be careful what you say! Be careful what you say..."

Liu Zhi sneered: "I act upright and sit upright, but why are you afraid that the villain and the evil party will frame me?"

This is true. He, Mr. Liu Xin, relied on his integrity to become an official.

While the two were talking, officials sent in copied official documents and memorials.

Wang couldn't stay any longer, so he had to say goodbye to Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi saw Wang off and looked back at the memorials and official documents he had sent.

He picked it up and looked at it. After a while, he frowned: "No...no..."

"There is no confession from Monk Lusi of Kaifeng Prefecture, and there is no confession from Monk Huixin!"

There was a lot of discussion about Dali Temple, the Ancestral Temple and Kaifeng Mansion the day before yesterday.

Everyone said this was another Bao Xiaosu!
So... "Is there a thief who wants to harm me?" Liu Zhi thought for a while and stood up.

The first object of his suspicion was naturally Shizhi Zashi Manzhonghang.

So, he quietly found Zhao Yanruo of Zhijianyuan.

On the pretext that the official document I copied was a bit blurry, I wanted to borrow Zhao Yanruo's copy to take a look.

Zhao Yanruo did not suspect him, so he gave Liu Zhi a copy of the transcript.

Liu Zhi took these things and went back to read them, but found no relevant confessions.

This made him narrow his eyes: "Is it an official from the capital or Zhongshu?"

If so...

Liu Zhi licked his tongue!
This is a big case!
He remembered what he knew now.The news coming from the palace.

It is said that the two palaces and the emperor were furious after reading Fu Yaoyu's memorial.

He directly issued an edict to the capital, ordering the Senglu Division and others involved in the case. The first offender was assassinated and sent to Shamen Island, and the rest were all exiled to Xihe Road.

However, this order was rejected by Menxiasheng Lu Dian.

Lu Dian's reason for rejecting the offer was simple - the late emperor had extended his favor, and Deyin had said that people were forced to leave their hometowns or die of illness, and the guards who escorted them often lost their way of teaching, and there were labor and expenses involved, so he was exempted from murder, etc. Those who should be exiled for other than serious crimes will only be sentenced to death, and they will be assigned to military service wherever they are!
Today's Cisheng's decree to exile all officials is not in line with the imperial decree of the late emperor, so he rejects it and begs to be changed to the assassination rank and exiled to the rank of assassination rank. All the troops in Kaifeng Prefecture are assigned to heavy service and hard labor.

In addition, officials are said to be involved in this matter.

He also said that he would summon Cai Jing tomorrow and give him a serious reprimand.

You must personally supervise Cai Jing, and you should use moral education to influence everyone!
Thinking about these things, Liu Zhi became more and more impetuous.

He knew very well that under the Song Dynasty system, one crime would not be punished twice.

In other words, if Cai Jing enters the palace tomorrow and the emperor reprimands him in person, the matter will be over.

After all, the emperor has already punished him, and if he continues to hold on to him, he feels that he is more wise and powerful than the emperor!

Although I am young today, I am not that naive young master.

Moreover, the memory is particularly good, and the memory is particularly good at holding grudges.

After so long, His Majesty is said to still talk about Li Ding and Wang Shen’s affairs!

Thinking about these things, Liu Zhi knew that there was not much time left for him.

He must find an entry point before Cai Jing enters the palace.

So where is this entry point?

Liu Zhi's eyes stopped on an official document.

He grabbed the official document and took a deep breath.

This is indeed a good entry point.

As long as the breakthrough is successful and attracts the attention of the government and the public, then it can be used to break the surface.

Maybe we can also take advantage of the situation and drive out the daring person in the capital who dared to withhold his confession.

Thinking like this, Liu Zhi picked up his pen and started writing bullets.

……

Kaifeng Fuyamen, like Yushitai, is located in Xuanhuafang, almost connected to the backyard of Yushitai. It is located to the west of Junyi Bridge and south of Bianhe River.

It is only a quarter of an hour away from Dutingyi.

The Bianjing Jiaozi Office is also in the Kaifeng Fuya area, and the Gongnuyuan of the Military Supervisor is also in Xuanhuafang.

Cai Jing was currently in the backyard of the government office, drinking the freshly brewed tea soup with a smile on his lips.

Seeing Cai Jing being so happy, his wife Xu couldn't help but ask, "Is Mr. Lang happy?"

"Of course!" Cai Jing laughed mysteriously: "My husband will soon become famous!"

After hearing this, Ms. Xu smiled and complimented: "Then I will congratulate you in advance!"

Cai Jing knew that Xu didn't believe it.

But it doesn't matter. After tomorrow, the whole world will know that Cai Jing will be "severely reprimanded" by today's officials.

In response, Cai Jing said: Your Majesty, please reprimand me a few more times!

The more officials reprimand him, the more room there is for improvement in his work.

As long as all the official requirements are implemented.

Then he went to the official's house to report: I have completely corrected myself, and I beg your majesty to check it out.

In this way, Cai Jing's image as a capable official will be established in the hearts of officials.

In this way, when the officials take charge, is Cai Jing still afraid that he will not be reused?
Thinking like this, Cai Jing couldn't help but take another sip of tea soup.

"In my lifetime, I will definitely be like Cai Chizheng and return to my hometown with the dignity of prime minister!"

He returned to his hometown and became an official.

This has become his obsession, pursuit, ideal, and goal.

As long as Cai Jing sets his goals and pursuits, he will do whatever it takes to get closer.

Just like when he was young, he was determined to help his hometown repair Mulanpo, so he kept running for it, making suggestions, and lobbying the government and the opposition.

Finally, Mulanpo is completed!And he, Cai Jing, also took this opportunity to directly become the late emperor's trusted young minister.

Now, he has set another goal for himself and will continue to work hard for it.

He believes that he will succeed and will succeed!
　Note: During the Shenzong period, the thought of cautious punishment was the main focus.

　　After Yuanfeng, ordinary criminals were no longer exiled to other places, but only served in the local hometown.

　　However, there are clear regulations on corruption among subordinate officials, and they must be exiled.

　　So I'm a little confused. If a subordinate official is sentenced to exile for corruption, does it follow the system of the Yuanfeng era?
　　After thinking about it carefully, I roughly speculated that it should be in compliance with the laws of the Yuanfeng era.

　　Of course it's not necessarily accurate.
