Compete for the Song Dynasty

Han Qi himself didn't care about whether Wang Pang resigned from office, but according to his opinion of Wang Pang, he was very surprised, how did this kid who knew Qian get Renzong's favor, now that Prime Minister Bao passed away, Wang Anshi was no longer an official, It seems that this kid has no backer, and Zeng Gongliang cannot be made the backer of the king. "This is not going to work. If the Holy Majesty asks the king to do things now, I'm afraid this kid will have to raise conditions again. Now if he thinks he has merit, the Holy Majesty's investigation of the land in order to kill everyone, I'm afraid it will be twice the result with half the effort."

"Hey, how can Wang Pang negotiate conditions with the Holy One? Besides, I heard that the people are short of coal this year. If the people make trouble, I'm afraid it will not end well. The Holy One still puts the common people first. Although Wang Pang is rich, but He has also done a lot of good deeds. Keeping warm and warm is a big deal, the Holy One should think twice."

This Wang Pang has become more and more suppressed since he was born. It turned out that the new officials and Jinshi who helped him speak and befriended him were not new officials, Jinshi, and later Jiedu envoys, county magistrates and the like; Renzong liked him, but the privy secretaries The envoy and the prime minister protected him and started to make trouble. Now the two prime ministers are also arguing because of the king, and there are even rumors that this guy has a good relationship with the Xixia monarch of Liao.Yingzong really had a headache about how to deal with Wang Pang, "Stop arguing, if he wants to go into business, go into business. The matter of Jinxiang Mansion must be brought up again."

Hearing what the emperor said, the two prime ministers fell silent. Han Qi thought that he would not be able to make an enemy of Zeng Gongliang for the sake of a king, so he calmed down and said, "My lord, the former emperor had an order to give the king a hundred hectares of land. When he comes to ask for land, why don't the emperor give him the Jinxiang Mansion? Firstly, it looks like the emperor is magnanimous. Second, if he manages it, it can improve the current shortage of coal supply in Jinxiang Mansion. I think Jinxiang Mansion also has his hard work. It is not an exaggeration for the imperial court to reward him for his meritorious service. As for what Zeng Xiang said, it is not unreasonable."

Zeng Gongliang is also an old official, and when he saw Han Qi making concessions, he also gave up half a step. It is difficult to deal with any disagreement between the prime ministers, and the most urgent task at the moment is to suppress the new emperor so that nothing happens because of Pu Yi's incident, so he also said : "Exactly, it is Han Xiang who has compassion for the people and can help the Holy Majesty relieve his worries." [

The two talked and sang together, and Yingzong cursed in his heart: the two old things are so in harmony, the official wants to be led away by these two people and can't do anything independently.But the two said that if Yingzong did not make concessions, it would appear that the emperor of his country has no measure. "Okay, since the two prime ministers said so, let's deal with it according to the situation. If you want to return to Yuci, then I will not pursue the matter of Jinxiang Mansion. You can step back."

The two prime ministers led the decree out of the Chuigong Hall and walked towards the Shangshu Mansion together. Zeng Gongliang said: "Thank you, Prime Minister Han, for agreeing with the old man's blunt words to open up the Holy Spirit."

With a big belly, Han Qi swayed his chubby body, holding the ribbon in his hands and walking, saying: "At our age, there is no need to be an enemy of the younger generation. Besides, you didn't see how long this kid next to Wang met with King Ying." , You said that the emperor's holy body is not good, I guess a crown prince will be established soon, and if King Ying is established in the future, I'm afraid our old bones will have to watch that kid do things."

Zeng Gongliang echoed and said: "Mr. Han has far-reaching concerns. I didn't think about it. I just think that this kid can make the Song Dynasty famous in all countries, and there must be something extraordinary."

"Hey, by the way, Zeng Xiang, why didn't I know about the missing volume of "Wu Jing Zong Yao?" Han Qi asked suspiciously.

"Hey, what's missing? It's just not written yet, and there are only catalogs for those two articles!" Zeng Gongliang said.

Han Qi was taken aback when he heard this: "Mr. Zeng, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Zeng Gongliang pointed at Han Qi and laughed: "Mr. Han, why are you so confused? Thinking about giving unicorns to each other back then, because one of them died in Song Dynasty, do you blame me for Song Dynasty? Emperor Renzong was still there at that time, and the first emperor I wanted to send people to sweep the south by taking advantage of the lost scroll, but the south has been peaceful since Wang Pang persuaded Nong Jifeng to surrender. This time Wang Pang went to Korea as an envoy, and the southern navy force helped Wang Pang attack the Japanese slaves. Great. Emperor Yingzong wants to take this opportunity to check the situation in the south and see if there is any collusion with Jiaozhi. Let Wang Bang go, and Wang Bang stays away from the capital. His reputation can also deter Jiaozhi and appease Nong Jifeng. This is not everyone's satisfaction. thing."

Han Qi laughed loudly: "Haha, no wonder Emperor Renzong personally ordered Zeng Xiang to compile the "Wu Jing Zong Yao", which method Zeng Xiang could use?"

"This is how to solve hatred and employ people! Follow the way of heaven and earth, and choose the method of general! Although Wang Pang is young, he is indeed a rare general. The way to choose a general is to judge his talent. Guan Zhong shoots the hook, Qi Wei The public appoints him to dominate; Meng Ming loses three times, Qin Mugong pardons him to win; Rangju is pulled out from the humble, Wu Qi is used to restrain the brigade;..."

The two prime ministers chattered and returned to the Shangshu Mansion, leaving Song Yingzong in a daze in the Chuigong Hall. When he was not the emperor, he had no choice but to take the king's side. Why is he still unable to take the king's side when he becomes the emperor?

At sunset, Mayer's Mansion became lively, and those who had gone out to do business came back. Everyone found that Wang Pang was more cheered up today than yesterday, and Wang Pang explained some things during dinner.In the dead of night, a few people quietly came out from Mayer's Mansion, and wrote a line of words with honey on a wall facing the street of Kaifeng Mansion.

At dawn the next day, a strange thing happened in the capital. Someone along the street said that there were many ants on the walls of Kaifeng mansion, and there were words on them.This matter spread all over the streets and alleys in a short while, and many people trotted to see it. Sure enough, it was written on the wall of Kaifeng Mansion, "Traitors hide coal privately and seek high prices. Coal is in urgent need in the capital, and weizhou will solve it outside the gate."

If this was changed to a normal government office, someone would have been sent to clean it up long ago, but Kaifeng Mansion has always been famous when Prime Minister Bao was there. This is related to the people's livelihood. Which yamen servant dares to clean up privately. The guards of Kaifeng Mansion rushed to report to Kaifeng Mansion Li Shen, the magistrate, and Li Shen personally watched it.

The matter was of great importance. Li Shen ordered the yamen servants to investigate outside the gate of Weizhou. The yamen servants came back and reported that there was indeed a coal yard outside the gate of Weizhou, and there were many people outside the coal yard who heard the news and rushed to find out.Seeing the coal piled up like a mountain inside, the people were excited and clamored to grab the coal.Li Shen hurriedly ordered people to temporarily seal up the coal yard, and sent people to investigate who owned the coal yard.

After a busy morning, it was found that the owner of the coal yard was Qin Minzhi, the servant of the household department. Ants, the Ministry of Household Affairs should participate in the impeachment, the three divisions will clean up, and the new officials will be held accountable."

Li Shen is also a smart person. The new official took office three fires. This new official refers to the third secretary Cai Xiang. It seems that this note is for him to find Cai Xiang.Li Shen took a note and went to visit Cai Xiang in person.

Cai Xiang heard Li Shen's intention, and immediately sent someone to the House of Internal Affairs to check whether the coal used by the royal family had arrived this winter. First, it had to be ruled out that it was the coal supplied by the imperial city. It was found that the imperial palace had already prepared all the coal, so the coal was suspected to be hoarding privately. Now everyone knows that it is difficult to buy coal in the capital, regardless of the people, even the big and small officials, there is no coal to use. Cai Xiang is also very angry when he hears that someone has hidden so much coal.

"I'm going to write a memorial to the emperor, please check it out!" Cai Xiang said while writing the memorial.Li Shen hurriedly stopped him and said: "Wait a minute, Junmo, I have already found out that the temporary coal yard in Weizhou City was done by Minister Qin of the Household Department, but the coal is from Jinxiang Mansion. Let's go to the emperor in this way, in case the Minister Qin Saying that the coal is for seizure, not only will you not be able to catch him for the crime, but I think the people in Kaifeng Mansion will not be able to stand it after a few days of delay. If there is a heavy snow one day, maybe a few people will freeze to death." [

"Then according to the Qing minister's opinion, what should we do?" Cai Xiang asked

Li Shen is not as anxious as he was when he first received this matter. He has been pondering over and over again for a long time. It is definitely not the work of ordinary people to track down Qin Shilang from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The reason why he provoked public grievances is probably because he hopes that Kaifeng Prefecture will do things for the people. I ask Junmo to review as the third secretary. If there is a violation of regulations, he can be ordered to sell it , and then check the evidence. If it is indeed just for reselling for profit, you can know that the crime is minor, but if it involves corruption and perverting the law, then you will have to participate in impeachment.”

After Cai Xiang heard it, he also felt that it made sense. He also thought that the ant typesetting thing was a bit interesting. Who is this?What I actually did is similar to my own bee typesetting back then.When the two came to Kaifeng Mansion, they saw the people surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. The people looked at them and scolded: "These corrupt officials are really hateful. They use their powers for personal gain and commit fraud. They don't care about the people's well-being, they should be killed! They should be killed!"

Cai Xiang and Li Shen met each other's eyes, Li Shen smiled, and Cai Xiang's heart lit up: "Prefect Li, I heard that Wang Shilang has returned to Beijing this morning?"

Li Shen yelled: "This kid must have done it, why didn't I think of it!" The two looked at each other and smiled, if someone else did it, you should think about it, if it was really Wang Pang's doing, then there is nothing to think about.The voice of the people is so high, what are you waiting for?Li Shen ordered: "Come here, go and invite the owner of the coal yard outside Weizhou Gate to Kaifeng Mansion."

It's polite to say please, Qin Minzhi would never have imagined that his new immediate boss was waiting for him in Kaifeng mansion? !

When Qin Minzhi came to Kaifeng Mansion, seeing that the hoarding of coal and wanting to sell it at a high price came to light, he thought to pass today's test first, and then find a way later, he hurriedly argued: "The coal is going to be sold. It's just not too late !"

Cai Xiang almost threw the transferred account in Qin Minzhi's face: "You are so bold, this batch of coal keeps saying that it will be sold, and the Ministry of Households seized the amount of coal due to business. Dare to quibble"

Qin Minzhi was at a loss for words immediately, and wrote clearly in black and white, how much coal was seized and where it was sent.The origin of the coal from the coal yard outside Weizhou City is really unknown.He had no choice but to bow his head and plead guilty. Qin Minzhi pleaded guilty to secretly seizing coal for profit. The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture immediately asked Cai Xiangte, the envoy of the third division, to open the coal yard outside Weizhou City to sell coal to the people.

Now the common people were overjoyed. Those carrying poles and carrying poles, and those who were more affluent drove their donkeys to the coal yard to queue up to buy coal, and the capital was boiling.
