Chapter 220 0217 [My Great Song Haiyan Heqing]

It was simply impossible for Han Zhen to hide it from everyone.

If you only occupy a remote county like Linzi, it is possible to keep everything watertight, but if you occupy a county in a state and still maintain normal business operations, it is simply impossible to keep it completely confidential.

Even if he strictly controls outgoing caravans and letters at the inn, he cannot completely prevent the news from spreading.

What's more, in the past two or three months, he has been buying large quantities of grain, hides and horns, pig iron, saltpeter, sulfur and other supplies from the south and other roads.

Officials along the way, as long as they are not fools, will notice the clues.

Han Zhen also knew this.

However, those officials all chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb for various reasons. Only Zhang Shuye uprightly chose to present the memorial.

After coming back to his senses, Zhang Bangchang asked cautiously: "Mr. Wang, is what Magistrate Zhang said in this memorial true or false?"

"Of course it's fake!"

Wang Fu snorted coldly and scolded: "He Zhao Ting surrendered to the thieves. Could it be that Liu Mi, Wu Guinian and hundreds of other state officials also surrendered to the thieves? The magistrate of Qiancheng County is Xie Ding. This man is upright and has a long history. Xian Ming, if this really happened, how could he not avenge it?"

"Linzi County Magistrate Chang Yukun has an old feud with Cai Jing. Liu Mi is Cai Jing's protégé and former official. If he really surrenders to the thieves, will Chang Yukun pretend to be deaf and dumb?"

"This……"

A series of rhetorical questions made Zhang Bangchang stunned.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. Xie Ding is the current head of the Xie family in Fuyang. He is upright and honest, and has a reputation among scholars. How could he hide it and not report it?
He also recognized Chang Yukun. This man was ambitious, knowledgeable, and capable. Unfortunately, he offended Xianggong Cai, so he was never promoted and spent decades as a county magistrate.

Thinking of this, and looking at Zhang Shuye's excerpts, I suddenly felt that it was full of loopholes and contradictions.

There is another reason that Wang Fu did not explain clearly.

Just a few days ago, Zhao Ting asked someone to send a birthday package worth [-] yuan to congratulate his old mother on her birthday.

How could such a loyal minister and righteous man surrender to thieves? It is really a big joke in the world!
Besides, if you join a thief, how can you still have so much money?

Do you really think those rebel thieves are philanthropic boys?
Wang Fu knew that Zhao Ting was greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise he would not have abandoned the city and fled when he was appointed governor of Hangzhou.

But if he said that he turned into a traitor, Wang Fu would not believe it.

Why?

Without him, Zhao Song and the scholar-bureaucrats would share the world!

Zhao Song and the scholar-bureaucrats were one and the same. They both prospered and suffered losses. When peasants rebelled, they always killed officials first to show their firm stance.

The distant one is Xiaobo, the king of Shu, and the nearby one is Fang La from the south. Which one did not kill officials after conquering the city?
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Bangchang reminded: "Mr. Wang, Magistrate Zhang will not attack without aim..."

However, as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Fu.

I saw him saying with a cold face: "Zhang Shuye is arbitrary and domineering, with great ambition but little talent. He sent troops hastily and caused Jinan Mansion to fall into the hands of the Black Mountain bandits. I will definitely find out the truth about him!"

When the Ding body money was collected some time ago, Zhang Shuye tried to shirk it again and again, and even submitted a memorial to Wang Fu.

Wang Fu has long held a grudge.

Zhang Bangchang hesitated and said: "Do you still want to submit this memorial?"

Zhang Shuye is a bachelor of Longtuge and the magistrate of Jinan Prefecture. Logically speaking, the prime minister has no right to withhold the information submitted.

However, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty ignored the government affairs at all and threw all memorials and official documents to Zhongshu's disciples.

Maybe one day the mood comes, and I flip through the memorials, slap my forehead and issue a decree. Most of the time, it is handled by the prime minister.

"Why not submit it!"

Wang Fu sneered and had a countermeasure in mind.

After getting up, dusting off his official uniform and tidying up his appearance, Wang Fu took the fold, walked out of the political hall, and went straight to Yanfu Palace.

After Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he was dissatisfied with the narrow palace, so he ordered the expansion of Yanfu Palace.

In order to flatter himself, Cai Jing summoned five eunuchs including Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Jia Xiang, He Xing and Lan Congxi to supervise the production respectively.Five palaces, you compete for wonder, I compete for cleverness, pursue luxury, regardless of wealth.

It is no exaggeration to say that the expanded Yanfu Palace is no worse than Genyue.

Song Huizong lived here most of the time.

Under the leadership of Huangmen, Wang Fu walked towards Yanfu Hall.

As soon as I approached the main hall, I heard a burst of singing coming from the main hall.

Stepping into the main hall, he saw Song Huizong lying on a soft couch, holding a glass of wine in his hand and laughing.

The two people singing in the palace were Li Bangyan and Cai You.

The two men were dressed in costumes, painted in white and red, dressed as celebrities, and what they sang were the obscene lyrics in the market.

Seeing this scene, Wang Fu frowned vaguely.

Although he also relied on flattery to win promotion, he considered himself a scholar and looked down on people like Li Bangyan from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Wang Fu, Song Huizong smiled and beckoned: "Wang Qing is here, sit down and enjoy his new play with me."

"Ha ha."

Wang Fu laughed and took a seat under the guidance of the maid.

He was not in a hurry to report, and watched the show with a smile on his face.

At the end of the song, Li Bangyan and Cai You were panting from exhaustion.

"Thank you for your hard work, dear sirs. Please take a break."

After Song Huizong comforted him, he turned around and asked, "Why is Wang Qing here?"

"Wei Chen came here to report two things."

Wang Fu said, taking out Zhang Shuye's memorial from his sleeve pocket.

Just as he was about to submit it, he saw Song Huizong waving his hand: "Don't bother me. Wang Qing will just dictate it."

Wang Fu was already used to this, and he said concisely and concisely: "The prefect of Jinan, Uncle Zhang, reported at night that Qingzhou has fallen, and the prefect Zhao Ting surrendered to the thieves!"

Zhang Shuye only mentioned inferences and suspicions in his memorial, and suggested sending people to conduct a thorough investigation, but Wang Fu deliberately omitted these.

"Zhao Ting surrendered to a thief?"

This news shocked Song Huizong.

Li Bangyan and Cai You looked at each other without any trace, and each saw a hint of horror in the other's eyes.

After Zhao Ting abandoned the city and fled, he not only bribed Tong Guan, but also used their connections. After receiving a large amount of money, he helped him say a lot of good things in front of Song Huizong.

If Zhao Ting turned into a thief, there was no way they would be implicated.

Thinking of this, Cai You hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, Zhao Ting is the magistrate of a state, a fifth-rank Zhongsan doctor, and a Taichang Shaoqing. Is there any evidence that such an important official in the court has turned to a traitor?"

"There is no definite evidence."

Wang Fu sneered in his heart, handed the fold over and said, "Mr. Cai, you can read it yourself."

In his desperation, Cai You didn't realize that this was Wang Fu's plan to kill people with a borrowed knife, so he took the folder and looked at it carefully.

"What nonsense!"

After reading it, Cai You closed the book with a snap and angrily said: "It's in vain that Zhang Shuye is still a bachelor of Longtuge. Without any evidence, he only relied on speculation to slander a fifth-rank official of the imperial court and turned into a traitor. His heart is to be punished." !”

At this moment, Li Bangyan said in a secret voice: "I remember that Xie Ding was appointed as the magistrate of Qiancheng County. If this matter really happened, given Xie Ding's temperament, he would have already submitted a letter."

Song Huizong had a bad impression of Zhao Ting. Although he bribed Tong Guan, Li Bangyan and other favorites to speak for him, the incident of abandoning the city and escaping still planted a nail in Song Huizong's heart.

But Zhang Shuye wasn't much better.

Originally, he was quite optimistic about Zhang Shuye, but he underestimated the enemy and rushed in a while ago, causing the entire Jinan Mansion to fall into the hands of the rebels, and he fled in panic.

In addition, Wang Fu and others took the opportunity to continuously smear him, causing Song Huizong to have a very bad impression of Zhang Shuye.

Through the dialogue between the two, Song Huizong had roughly understood it now, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The original way is just speculation!

But what followed was anger.

It is really abominable to report that a fifth-grade official turned into a thief without any evidence and only based on some inferences.

Cai Youyi said righteously: "I believe that Zhang Shuye should be severely punished. Otherwise, if we let him go, I'm afraid there will soon be a wave of false accusations in the court, and everyone will be in danger."

It's just that he is dressed up to promote excellence, and his words are really inconsistent.

"I feel that what Mr. Cai said is true, and making false accusations is a taboo in the court."

Li Bangyan seemed to feel hot, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then opened his clothes, revealing his fair and strong chest.

Wang Fu looked like an old god was here.

He now kicked the ball to Li Bangyan and Cai You. All he had to do was sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch their performance.

Even if there is any reversal in this matter, it has nothing to do with him.Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty said expressionlessly: "I have issued an order to Zhang Shuye to stay in Dongping Mansion. In addition, I have ordered Zhao Ting to give a statement explaining the issues such as food, grass and baggage!"

"The minister leads the order!"

Wang Fu answered with cupped hands.

Song Huizong asked: "By the way, Wang Qing just said that there are two things to report, what is the other one?"

Wang Fu chuckled and said: "Good news came from Hebei, Gaotuoshan has accepted the recruitment."

Hearing this, Song Huizong smiled and said: "Liang Fangping did a good job and did not disappoint me!"

Cai You immediately flattered your Majesty: "We congratulate your majesty in advance. Once Gaotuo Mountain is surrendered, the Western Army will be free to go south to pacify the Black Mountain Bandits. By then, I, the Song Dynasty, will clear the Haiyan River and the Sui Dynasty." rich!"

"Hahaha!"

Song Huizong suddenly felt very good.

Seeing this, Li Bangyan suggested: "Your Majesty, I heard that a group of demon monks from the Western Regions have come to the West Market. They are said to be able to walk on water and spit out flames, and even make dead trees regenerate. The weather is nice today, why don't you dress up in disguise and have a private visit incognito?"

Sure enough, Song Huizong became interested and asked curiously: "Is it really so magical?"

Li Bangyan picked up a crystal-clear grape and threw it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "That's true. It is said that these demon monks set up an altar in Xishizi and have not eaten or drank for three days and three nights. There are even gambling stalls in the capital. Open the hall and bet on how many days these monster monks can last."

"Fun, interesting."

Song Huizong was moved and immediately stood up to change his clothes.

After dressing up in disguise, he left the palace.

……

……

"Gaotuoshan has descended?"

Sitting in the lobby, Han Zhen was sipping hot tea and reading the Di newspaper in his hand comfortably.

When he saw Gao Tuoshan surrendering and being recruited, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

If I remember correctly, Gao Tuoshan had no intention of accepting the offer. Including his subordinates, all they could think about was cracking the earth to become king.

Whenever they could no longer hold on, they would pretend to surrender and accept recruitment, in order to stabilize the officers and soldiers.

Fight and accept recruitment at the same time.

"The county magistrate!"

At this moment, Liu Mi hurried into the lobby.

Seeing this, Han Zhen put down the newspaper in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

"County Magistrate, recently there have been loud noises coming from the direction of the Qingzhou Army barracks. People and animals are frightened. Rumors are spreading among the people in the city. Some say that the mountain god plays drums, some say that Thunder God wards off evil spirits, and some say..."

At the end of his sentence, Liu Mi stopped talking and looked at Han Zhen carefully.

Han Zhen said calmly: "What else can you say?"

"They also said... that the county magistrate's killing was too serious, and God couldn't bear to see it, so he wanted to..."

"You want to take me in?"

Han Zhen suddenly smiled.

"Yes!"

Liu Mi nodded and said sternly: "The rumors are getting more and more intense. If this continues, people in the city will definitely be panicked. I feel that a quick team should be sent to arrest the person who made the rumors."

"They're just a few mice. They can't cause any trouble, so don't worry about them."

Han Zhen waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Liu Mi worriedly asked: "Then let the rumors spread?"

Han Zhen said: "You don't have to ask about this matter, I will handle it."

"Since the county magistrate has already taken countermeasures, I can rest assured." Liu Mi's brows relaxed and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After Liu Mi left, Han Zhen called the official on duty to find Su Zhaode.

"Meet the county magistrate!"

After Su Zhaode bowed, he stood quietly, waiting for Han Zhen's instructions.

Han Zhen picked up the hot tea and took a sip, then slowly said: "Recently there are rumors in the city that the mountain god plays drums, have you heard about it?"

"I have heard something from you."

Su Zhaode answered truthfully.

Han Zhen continued: "I have an errand for you."

Hearing this, Su Zhaode felt happy, knowing that his opportunity for promotion had come.

This time is obviously a test. If you can handle it well, you will definitely get a good job.If it fails, Guan'er will definitely give it to him in the name of the Su family's surrender, but at best it will be just a leisurely job. If he wants to get promoted in the future, it will be difficult to reach the sky.

Thinking of this, Su Zhaode took a deep breath: "Please give me the county magistrate's orders!"

Han Zhen ordered: "Let the rumors in the city quell within three days."

"Humble to take orders!"

Su Zhaode looked solemn and bowed in response.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Han Zhenruo's pointed voice sounded in his ears again: "Remember, do it beautifully!"

Su Zhaode's heart trembled as he heard the implication of this sentence.

This was a reminder to him to try not to use the connections between the government office and the Su family. The county magistrate wanted to see his real credentials.

"Yes, humble and provincial!"

Su Zhaode bowed again and hurried out of the lobby.

As soon as the front foot left, Zhao Ting's back foot came.

He looked happy and said in admiration: "The county magistrate's plan was successful. A few days ago, Zhang Shuye actually impeached his subordinates, but Wang Fu and Li Bangyan covered it up. Emperor Zhao and Song were fatuous, and he was punished. He issued an order to reprimand Zhang Shuye, and asked his subordinates to present a memorial to clarify the issue of food, grass and baggage."

Hearing this, Han Zhen couldn't help but smile.

The One Hundred Thousand Guan Birthday Plan finally had its effect.

Not only Wang Fu, but also traitorous officials such as Li Bangyan, Tong Guan, Cai You, Liang Shicheng, and Han Zhen all sent money in Zhao Ting's name.

Although it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, the results were impressive.

Han Zhen chuckled and said: "This time Zhang Shuye was warned, I believe no one will dare to report it again."

"It's natural."

Zhao Ting nodded and agreed: "Those Zhao and Song officials are all able to adapt to the changing circumstances."

Song Huizong's order chilled the loyal people in the court, and those corrupt officials were even less nosy.

The value of these hundreds of thousands of flowers bought Han Zhen valuable development time.

After a brief pause, Zhao Ting hesitated and said: "County Magistrate, how should I write this excerpt?"

Han Zhen reminded: "The heads of Wu Guinian and Zhang Wanxian are still in the treasury, and they will be presented to Zhao Ji together with the documents!"

"The subordinate understands!"

Zhao Ting immediately understood.

No wonder the county magistrate had refused to report the killing of officials such as Wu Guinian before. It turned out that he was waiting for this.

Now that there is no evidence to prove it, it is not just left to his arrangement.

What's more, with the head of Zhang Wanxian and the left ear of thousands of people who dare to attack the army, the emperor and courtiers cannot help but not believe him.

At this time, Zhao Ting had already begun to think about how to write a memorial.

Although you can arrange it as you wish, the arrangement must be reasonable and logical.

Otherwise, the old foxes in the court could see through it at a glance.

Han Zhen seemed to hear something and asked: "By the way, the new trade route has been opened. You can inform the horse supervisor on the outer road and the war horses will be transported in batches."

Zhang He did not disappoint him and captured Sunjia Town almost without any blood.

And with the help of several hunters in the town, a hidden business road was opened along the foot of Mount Tai.

This trade road connects the three prefectures of Dongping Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture and Xiqing Prefecture. It is located in a remote place and is covered by Mount Tai. The only pass, Sunjia Town, has also been captured, so it can be said to be very safe.

Zhao Ting looked happy and responded quickly: "I'll take care of it now."

Here comes the money!
