In two years, the Song army carried a green Great Wall of about 100 miles long and more than ten miles wide on the southern side of the Yishui Juma River. It spent millions of saplings, almost emptying all the young saplings in the West Mountain. Pines, mulberry trees, fir trees, cypress trees, locust trees, poplar trees, green poplar trees, elm trees, cherry willows, willows, elm trees, oak trees, jujube trees, maple trees, lun trees, camphor trees... There are many wild roses, mountain grapes, dog dates, mutongs, Schisandra chinensis below...

If those twenty or so people who know the truth don’t say it, everyone will think that Zhao Heng loves peace and does not want to fight, but the Liao Kingdom keeps invading, so he has to defend himself. Anyway, the Song Dynasty has a lot of money and people are stupid, so it can be understood that it is enough to spend a lot of money to create a green Great Wall.

As for whether Xiao Yanyan is disgusting, it would be better for you to be disgusting.

But for ten years, it will take at least several years to make them work...

But several people know it in their hearts.

For the future, Song Jiu carefully managed the world's machinery in the Secretariat. Zhao Heng was even more diligent. He got up almost every day before dawn, followed the minister's advice, and then reviewed the world's memorials until late at night. He only got some comfort from Liu E.

Just this year, two major scandals broke out one after another.

The first scandal led Wang Qinruo to the path of a treacherous minister.

But the most tragic thing is Hong Zhan.

This man was a talented man in Jiangnan. His father and grandfather had served as officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty and were considered as children of officials. However, in the early years of Duangong, he and Yin Huangshang, Feng Zheng, Wang Shize, and Song Hang wrote a letter to Zhao Kuangyi to establish Zhao Yuanxi as the crown prince, and were demoted. The facts cannot be blamed for this matter. After Zhao Yuanxi's death, a lot of evidence was found from his home, which could show that Zhao Yuanxi was not good at it. Hong Zhan was demoted to Rongzhou and then he was appointed as the governor of Chenzhou Shuzhou. Shuzhou was later in the Anqing area of ​​Anhui, and was considered a top prefecture in the Song Dynasty.

This also reflects that the politics of the Song Dynasty is much more enlightened than the previous dynasty.

Detract from it, you can correct your mistakes and also give you a chance to rise again.

In the second year of Xianping, Hong Zhan was recalled to the capital. The next year, he was in charge of the tribute with Wang Qinruo and the daily life of fellow practitioners. Seeing that he was gradually gaining importance, this year was tragic.

Why did Master Wang Lin later interact with many officials and celebrities? The officials were guilty and were easily cheated. Celebrities had a lot of money, but they were worried that one day they would not become famous, and they would be done if they were not popular, so they were easy to cheat.

The same was true in the Song Dynasty, so the masters liked to run to powerful and noble families, including Wang Qinruo's house.

There is a master, Master Huiqin, who often goes to Wang Qinruo's house and is somewhat familiar with Wang Qinruo's wife Li.

This year, a son named Ren Yi came to the capital for the exam and stayed at Ren Ya, a monk from Shangfang Temple. When they talked, Ren Yi was worried that he would fail the exam again. It happened that Ren Ya was familiar with Hui Qin, and Hui Qin often went to and from the Wang family, and Wang Qinruo was the chief examiner again. Ren Ya thought of this section and offered to help. Ren Yi expressed his gratitude to give out 350 taels of silver to thank him, and paid it in one go after the matter was completed.

Renya found Hui Qin, and Hui Qin wrote Ren Yi's name and hometown and the amount of bribes of 250 taels of silver (Renhui and his two took 100 taels for themselves) on paper, and asked Wang's guest Ning Wende and servant Xu Xing to send it to Li.

In fact, this is really a bargain, but it is just an acquaintance. If you are not a favor, you will refuse. At this time, Wang Qinruo had already entered the tribute court many days in advance to implement the locking of the courtyard system. However, the Song Dynasty's locking of the courtyard system had a humane management, which was to allow servants from officials to send food and have a small meal separately. It was just that when you went in, you would conduct a body search system in case of precautions.

However, Li also had a way to write Ren Yi's name on the left arm of the servant Qi Rui and let Qi Rui enter. Just when the fifth exam was completed, Wang Qinruo felt a little uncomfortable. Qi Rui entered the examination room under the guise of sending soup and passed the relevant information to Wang Qinruo. As a result, with Wang Qinruo's efforts, Ren Yi really passed the exam and was awarded an official position. But at this moment, a funeral occurred at Ren Yi's family and hurriedly prepared to return to his hometown.

Wang Qinruo didn't know all this and asked about the incident after leaving the examination room, he was speechless, and only 250 taels of silver was almost 10% off. He bought a Jinshi and an official, and brought a debt to him? This is the reason, so he asked his wife to ask for the money.

Renya had to write a letter to Ren Yi for money, of course Ren Yi must have it. But for some reason, this letter of trust was not destroyed, but was revealed to Chang Defang, a fortune teller.

Changde Fang was overjoyed when he saw the letter and reported it to him.

He came to the capital with a letter and reported the matter to the Censor Zhao Changyan.

Zhao Changyan was inspired, what did Yanchen do? It was to defeat the prime minister. The case was investigated. The letter did not write the name of the examiner, but there were clues, two monks, Ren Yi himself, and Qi Rui's servant.

In fact, there is no need to be reviewed, and I know that the examiner has cheated.

Wang Qin's face was as bright as earth, but the other person was even more anxious. Zhao Heng.

Wang Qinruo was his benefactor. Without Wang Qinruo, he might have been brought down by his suspicious father back then. So he directly hinted to Zhao Changfang: "I treat Qinruo very well. Qinruoruo lacks silver, so he should ask me for it. Why should I be bribed by the juren? Besides, Qinruo has just joined the government, so how can he be imprisoned and tried immediately?"

It seems to be reasonable, isn’t it just 250 taels of silver?

However, there are twists and turns in it, in addition to money, there are also favors.

Zhao Changyan strives hard.

Zhao Heng was not aware of the matter, so he asked Zhao Changyan to go aside, but instead asked Hanlin scholar Xing Bing, deputy governor of the eunuch, Yan Chenghan, and the postman to summon the governor of the Caozhou Department of Works, and Wu Bingu, the governor of the Yu Department of Xuzhou, to investigate the case separately at Taichang Temple.

The four of them understood it, so Ren Yi changed his words and said that my wife and brother Zhang Jia had always been good friends with Hong Zhan, and I also visited him with my wife and brother. At that time, I brought two hundred pomegranates and one hundred kilograms of charcoal. I bribed them for money, but I just handed the money to the two monks. I didn't know that they had bribed the examiner.

The case came to where the two monks again. The two monks said that we handed over the money to Ning Wende and Xu Xing. We didn't know which servant they were. So we went to capture Ning Xu and the others, but they had already escaped. Then we went to find Zhang Jia and asked him what his relationship with Hong Zhan was. However, Zhang Jia had been dead for more than a year.

Now there is only the only clue left. Qi Rui, who is locked in the prison, cannot escape. This person is a minor official used by Wang Qinruo when he was a judge in Bozhou. He has been following Wang Qinruo for many years, but his hometown has always been in Bozhou. Therefore, everyone has colluded with each other. Wang Qinruo insisted that he was newly recruited and did not know Hui Qin.

Wang Qinruo had nothing to do with this retrial, so Hong Zhan accepted the bribe.

So Hong Zhan was demoted to the family and moved to Danzhou. Zhao Changyan and the Censor Fan Zhengci falsely accused the prime minister of the dynasty and demoted one term, one demoted to the Sima of Anyuan, and the deputy envoy of Chuzhou Tuanlian, and promoted the direct officials Gao Ding and Wang Hua to demoted two terms, and each demoted them. Ren Yi was assigned to the Zhongjing Army and Hui Qin was given a hundred steps. The cunning face Shangzhou was detained, and Ren Ya was assigned to the Jiangzhuocheng in Yingzhou.

But such punishment caused the ministers to be dissatisfied. It was normal for the officials of the Song Dynasty to rise and fall, including Song Jiu who went down because of the Yu family and was not hired later. This case is afraid of being a private crime. You can blame your wife. If you demote it, you will not still get up in a few years. Why bother with Hong Zhan, Zhao Changyan and Fan Zhengci, and two ministers, Gao Wang, to cover up your crimes?

Wang Qinruo began to become the target of public criticism!

Even Song Jiu felt the whirlpool in the dark and did not dare to get close to Wang Qinruo.

But in another scandal, the two protagonists were very honest, Zhang Qixian and Xiang Minzhong.

Xue Juzheng, the founding prime minister of the Song Dynasty, had a very powerful wife. He did not give birth to a son for Lao Xue, but he was not allowed to approach the maid at home, let alone take a concubine. Lao Xue had to bring a child from the family, and adopted him with a child named Xue Weiji.

Lao Xue received countless rewards throughout his life and loved Xue Weiji very much. This made Xiao Xue want money and power, so he spent all day with a group of yamen and had fun in the Hezhou industry. This made the Xue family make money, and the money was getting more and more money.

Zhao Kuangyi knew that after Lao Xue died, he asked specifically: If I have changed my career, may I not be able to bear the family business, what can I do?

Xiao Xue was so scared that her whole body trembled, and she had improved a little from now on.

However, like his father, the Yu family could not do so, so they made a widow's sect.

Xiao Xue died, and his second wife Chai was still very young, and Xiao Xue Yu's family could not do anything, which made her very brave. Xiao Xue and others were not worthy of their own money, so Xiao Xue's ex-wife's two sons Xue An Shang and Xue Anmin had a disagreement, so she wanted to remarry.

She had a lot of money and was beautiful, so of course she had to find a good family. After searching for her, Zhang Qixian's ex-wife passed away, and the prime minister was good. So the two agreed to engage in an engagement.

In the Song Dynasty, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was not a scandal to remarry a widow.

It's a pretty good couple, but at worst, Mr. Zhang may have to spend some time in training in the future.

However, Xue Anshang became anxious. He ran to Kaifeng Prefecture and sued his stepmother for trying to take away the wealth accumulated by the two generations of the Xue family.

The prefect of Kaifeng happened to be Kou Zhun, and he played an extremely disgraceful role.

Originally, everyone was a colleague, so we had to save some face. Besides, Zhang Qixian might be interested in the wealth in Chai's hands, and he received both a considerable dowry, but he might not necessarily want to seek all the property of the Lao Xue family.

But Kou Zhunqi, why can't I get to power over the years? Didn't I just watch singing and dancing in Dengzhou and burn some candles? However, it was Zhang Qixian, the two prime ministers Xiang Minzhong, who were dissatisfied with it, and became "slanderous" and suppressed me below. Without giving Zhang Qixian some preparation time, he immediately handed the case to Zhao Heng without going through the Censorate (according to the rules, the Prime Minister had no right to interrogate, but handed it to the Censorate) and directly handed it to Zhao Heng at the court meeting.

That's Zhang Qixian.

Zhao Heng knew that it might not be like Xiaoxiao Xue said, so he secretly asked Chai, and Chai said that this was not the case. Even if I brought it, I would also take the property that belonged to me. It would be impossible to take the property of the Xue family with me. Is that possible? Zhao Heng thought it was the same and handed it over to the Censorate for interrogation and handle the case in a low-key manner.

When Chai saw that there was still no end, she did not expect Kou Zhun's role in it. Instead, she thought it was someone else's shaman, that was Xiang Minzhong. Then Chai showed up and went to beat the drums of the news. She sued Xiang Minzhong for a low price to buy the old house of the Xue family and proposed to her. She did not agree. Xiang Minzhong became angry and instructed Xue An to falsely accuse her.

Previously, Brother Xue Anshang was indeed useless, which led to the fact that the Xue family's property was tightly grasped by the Chai family. The Xue family's brothers were angry because they were tight, and they were ready to sell their ancestors' property. After Zhao Heng heard about it, he deliberately issued an edict to refuse. This was to think that all the heroes would be born after Lu Duan's death. For example, after Lu Duan's death, his son was unfilial and sold Lu's house. Zhao Heng spent 5,000 yuan to buy it back and handed it over to Lu Duan's son.

Since Xiang Minzhong was involved, Zhao Heng had to ask Xiang Minzhong. Xiang Min admitted that he had spent 5 million yuan, or 5,000 yuan to buy the old house of the Xue family. He did lose his wife recently, but he had no plans to get married.

The Xue family is a luxury house, and the location is better. How come it is said that it is more than 5,000 yuan. Xiang Minzhong violated the rules, but it cannot be regarded as a pure robbery. So Zhao Heng wanted to calm down the matter and continue to hand it over to the Censorate for interrogation, intending to turn big things into small things.

I know that Chai is unwilling to let go and it is not easy to be tried, so how can we marry Mr. Zhang?

So beat the drum again to appeal.

Everyone in the capital city knew about this trouble. The salt and iron envoy Wang Sizong, who had always been in conflict with Xiang Minzhong, jumped out and exposed it, saying that Xiang Minzhong recently proposed to marry the sister of Wang Chengyan, the son-in-law Duwei. Zhao Heng sent someone to ask Wang, and Wang admitted that there was indeed such a thing. Zhao Heng was dissatisfied, and Xiang Minzhong was lying, so Xiang Minzhong might have had the idea of ​​proposing to Chai.

Moreover, after Chai's trouble, Zhang Qixian believed Chai's words, so the Censorate found out that Chai's second complaint was written by Zhang Qixian's son Zhang Zonghui. Then he interrogated Chai's confidant servant and found that she had buried gold, silver and jewelry worth tens of thousands of yuan.

So the two prime ministers fell into the widow's pit together and could not be transferred out.

Xiang Minzhong was dismissed from the prime minister and demoted Yongxingjun. Zhang Qixian was responsible for granting the title of Taichangqing to Luoyang. Zhang Zonghui was demoted to Haizhou. Xue An violated the edict and was sentenced to flogging the ancestral home. He was not allowed to sell his house again in the future. Song Bai, who was preparing the book, borrowed ten taels of silver from Xiang Minzhong. Xiang Minzhong did not borrow it. Song Bai was in a grudge and wrote to death, saying, "I broke my promise to me and I am ignorant of myself." Xiang Minzhong read it and cried.

But is there such a thing? It must be that Xiang Minzhong has not been wrongly accused. It is said that Chai has nearly 100,000 yuan in his hand, and is also a pretty widow, a young mature woman with lust and wealth. Even the prime minister likes it.

Kou Zhun laughed to death in Kaifeng Prefecture, and suddenly got rid of two major political enemies. He was surprised by his surprise. The two palaces were in sight!
Chapter completed!
