The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 127 Caution

After talking about herself, Liang Xin looked at Chen Cisheng:
"Righteousness and trivial matters. Mr. Chen is afraid..." Liang Xin did not continue. With his age, it was not appropriate to evaluate a person who could be his grandfather.

Zhang Dun, on the other hand, said very directly: "Stupid, pedantic."

"This..." Chen Cisheng was confused.

This conflicts with his way of being an official and his principles of life.

Zhang Dun asked: "Wen Yi is a thief who has a good way of doing things. He has no evidence and nothing to impeach. Ask yourself, is he a good official?"

"No." Chen Cisheng answered very quickly this time.

Zhang Dun asked again: "So, is he a good person?"

Chen Cisheng: "No."

Zhang Dun asked the third question: "Is it wrong to let him get out of the court and replace him with a capable person?"

"This..." Chen Cisheng felt a toothache.

Zhang Dun stood up and stood in front of Chen Cisheng: "Brother Xin, if it is just for himself, there is no need to invite you. As long as the officials listen to him in everything, he will be a prime minister without a crown, and then he will cultivate party members, and others It won't take long for my father to go to Zhao Gao. I'm afraid that by then, you may be in Danzhou, or there may be grass growing on your grave."

Fan Chunli also said: "Only when you are selfless can you be fearless."

Liang Xin can allow people like them, who are dedicated to the country and the people, to handle government affairs together. Based on this, the Fan family supports Liang Xin.

Zhang Dun continued: "Why only target Zeng Bu's family? It's because I want to set a trap for Wen Yi to make trouble for Zeng Bu, and then exile him to Baizhou."

Chen Cisheng asked: "Why Baizhou."

Zhang Dun replied: "Baizhou has been defending against the Anhua barbarians. Most of the troops in the army are descendants of the Pan family. It is impossible for Cai Jing to get to Baizhou alive, but it is impossible for him to come out alive. Baizhou is full of miasma. Who knows what accidents may happen."

Chen Cisheng turned his head sharply and looked at Liang Xin.

Liang Xin looked indifferent: "I don't care about being famous for thousands of years, not at all."

Zhang Dun: "Cisheng, let's make a decision."

Chen Cisheng gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, Huang Yi is not without impeachment. However, there are several members of Zeng Bu's party who must be demoted."

Zhang Dun's attitude was that only Zeng Bu's family would be punished to death, and the rest of them would be spared if possible. These people just wanted to be promoted and join Zeng Bu, and there were also capable officials and people who could handle things.

Chen Cisheng's original attitude was to rectify Zeng Bu and his gang members and not to implicate his family members. There must be innocent people.

At this time, Chen Cisheng agreed with Zhang Dun, but demanded that since Zeng Bu's gang members were promoted through such disgraceful means, they must find a few big ones and deal with them severely.

Zhang Dun also took a step back: "Five people, five people is the upper limit."

"Okay." Chen Cisheng agreed.

There must be a fight about this.

Zhang Dun said very directly: "You are about to become the Yushi Dafu after your second promotion. Although this position is a false title, only the highest official of the Yushitai can hold it. In other words, if you become the highest official of the Yushitai, depending on your status, Personality, I’m afraid there aren’t many people in the court.”

Everyone was silent.

Zhang Dun summarized today's quarrel: "Great justice comes first, and minor flaws can be ignored."

This matter has been decided like this.

Both Zhang Dun and Su Shi thought Liang Xin was qualified, quite qualified, in handling this matter.

Sit down and move on to other things.

Liang Xin suddenly said: "I have caused a problem for myself. Today..." Liang Xin told Zhao Ji that he was going to recess the court in the morning and what he had promised to stabilize Zhao Ji, and then said: "Now, the Western Army will move forward again." Xi, I feel a little inappropriate, or I can support Kucha."

Su Shi asked: "If you want to push the barbarians, why go west?"

Liang Xin asked: "Pusa Man, aren't you going west to look for him?"

Everyone laughed.

Su Shi explained: "According to the ancient records of the Tang Dynasty, Pusa barbarians should be in Dali Kingdom, or south of Dali Kingdom. In the Tang Dynasty, they should need the location of Nanzhao Kingdom. Pusa is a term used in the Tang Dynasty to refer to beauties. "

Why did Liang Xin misunderstand?

Liang Xin said: "That place, Nanzhao? People are so long. I feel that going to the west and farther west is worthy of the title of beauty." In terms of understanding, Liang Xin was right.

The beauties from the Western Region instantly killed the beauties from the Southern Barbarians.

However, Su Shi explained it in detail and his analysis was absolutely correct.The Pusaman in the Tang Dynasty was still a country in Dali or a little further south of Dali, Nanzhao or a little further south. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called the Numan Kingdom.

Liang Xin let out a long breath: "If that's the case, it would be much easier. There are merchants in Dali, so this matter is easy to handle."

There are merchants, and Liang Xin has a hundred ways to find Pusaman.

Even if it's fake, that's fine.

Zhang Dun asked: "Where is Gaoli?"

"The Jurchens are responsible for finding a solution. All I have to do is provide the money."

"Now that this matter has been revealed, we should discuss the renovation of the river affairs after winter. River affairs are a big matter. Although Ren Boyu is not a good character, he is really good at river affairs."

Liang Xin sat down in her seat.

Dongkuaoyuan is becoming more and more stylish. Liang Xin believes that in at most half a year, Dongkuaoyuan will become another court of the Song Dynasty.

At present, the most famous ones in the court of the Northern Song Dynasty are the Han family of Zhending, the Wang family of Sanhuai, the Zhang family of Pucheng, the Fan family of Pingjiang, and the Lu family of Donglai.

Although the Lu family has been suppressed a lot in recent years due to the dispute between the old and new laws, the background remains.

Right now, Liang Xin must rely on them.

Otherwise, even if Zhao Ji listens to him, unless the entire court is brought into chaos, many decrees that are beneficial to the world will not be implemented at all with these people.

Let the poor afford to read.

This idea has not yet arrived.

Moreover, there is no soil for this idea to become a reality.

Just like the six words Zhang Dun sent to Liang Xin: On the ninth day of the lunar month, do not use Qianlong.

Liang Xin will wait.

After the discussion ended, everyone left.

After Liang Xin returned to the study, Liang Zhong ran in and handed a note.

There is no signature, but when I look at the font, it's Su Shi's.

There are only two words: police and caution.

Liang Zhong stood at the table and said, "Today, I will see Eunuch Bai off. He asked me to pay attention to Dongkuayuan and tell him if I hear anything."

Liang Xin: "Do as Eunuch Bai says."

With that said, Liang Xin stretched out her hand to light the note on the candle.

If anyone knows Zhang Dun best, it should be his enemy.

Su Shi.

Liang Xin believed that this was Su Shi reminding herself.

The next day, Ren Boyu was sitting in the main hall of Dali Temple. In front of him, two tables were piled with evidence of Zeng Bu's crime.

Although the two branches of the new method and the old method are not fighting at this time.

However, almost no one stood up to speak for Zeng Bu.

Because Zeng Bu once betrayed Wang Anshi and was then disgraced by Sima Guang.

It's because his position swings left and right.

Now, they are using Mokan to suppress dissidents and appoint private individuals.

Therefore, his dirty information began to be quietly delivered to Dali Temple by many people.What's more, the presiding judge is Ren Boyu. If we talk about toughness, Ren Boyu is tougher than Chen Cisheng.
