Chapter 260 Wang Anshi
Su Xun had a headache: "I brought too many things this time. Fortunately, I didn't buy a horse, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to accommodate them. This house is still too small. If there is no room for the exam, I have to rent a car, which would be even more troublesome."
I have visited Qidilong Mountain several times. When I came back, other than praising the prosperity of Bianjing, I only commented that it was expensive! Everything is expensive!
Therefore, he was reluctant to spend money. For the same price, he could buy a five-and-a-half-foot horse in Meishan, but it was only four-foot-two here!
A four-foot-two horse is not much better than a donkey. It is better to rent a car, which only costs a hundred cents at a time.
The prosperity of Bianjing has little to do with Su You, because he simply doesn't have time to see it.
After settling down at home, we started to inquire about news.
The first is the bad news. Zhang Fangping has just compiled the "Jiayou Post Order" for the imperial court. This is the second important charter after the water transportation reform. It is also a necessary measure for logistics and transportation to boost trade routes.
Then it was Lao Zhang who acted carelessly and was bitten by Quan Yushi Zhongcheng Bao Qingtian.
Here's the thing.
This spring, the Kaifeng Prefecture received a lawsuit from an old woman surnamed Liu who accused her nephew Liu Baoheng of "destroying the Liu family through his indulgence and indulgence."
This Liu Baoheng was a wealthy businessman who contracted a winery in the capital through buying and selling. I don’t know whether it was because the bidding price was too high or the winery was not managed well. As a result, he lost a lot of money and owed the government more than a thousand dollars.
Liu Baoheng was chased by the government for debts. This was the business of the accounting department, so he had to sell his ancestral property, a house in Beijing, to repay the debt.
It is rare to find houses for sale in the inner city of Bianjing, so as soon as they are put on the market, people buy them immediately.
The old lady who filed the complaint was Liu Baoheng's aunt; the matter she was accused of was Liu Baoheng's sale of his ancestral property to pay off his debts.
The Kaifeng Prefecture reviewed the files and found that Liu sold his own property, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Liu's aunt provided the judge with evidence against Liu Baoheng: "Baoheng is not Liu's son."
If this is the case, Liu Baoheng really has no right to sell the Liu family's ancestral property.
The Kaifeng Mansion once again sent officials to investigate and confirmed that what Liu's aunt said was true and that Liu Baoheng was a descendant of the clan.
Therefore, the judge ruled in accordance with the law: Liu Baoheng's sale of the Liu family's ancestral property was cancelled, Liu Baoheng returned the money to the buyer, and the buyer returned the property to the Liu family. The case was closed.
Wait, a judge in Kaifeng Prefecture discovered that the buyer of this house was actually Zhang Fangping, the third minister.
Lao Zhang had spent several years in Yizhou and had a lot of money in his hands, so he was ready to buy a house in the capital.
It happened that Liu Baoheng had to sell his house to pay off his debts, and the accounting department was in charge of this matter, so Lao Zhang was the first to get the money and bought it.
Quan Yushi Zhongcheng Bao Zheng wrote a letter to impeach Zhang Fangping as the chief executive of the Third Division. Now Liu Baoheng is selling the house to pay off the debt, and it happens to be you, Zhang Fangping, who bought the house. Who knows if there was any improper transfer of interests during the transaction?
Or is there an unfair act of unilaterally taking advantage of power to lower prices?
Subsequently, the officials at Yushitai demanded that Zhang Fangping be punished.
At the request of Yushitai, the officials issued an edict to remove Zhang Fangping from his position as the third envoy and sent him to Chenzhou.
Sichuan has now become a special economic zone of the Song Dynasty. Officials from Yizhou are generally labeled as "economically knowledgeable", so the officials appointed Zhao Pangqian to succeed him after one term, and Song Qi, the magistrate of Yizhou who had just returned, took over.
However, this appointment was strongly opposed by Lao Bao. The reason was that when Song Qi was in Yizhou, he was greedy for pleasure and was not suitable for promotion; moreover, Song Qi's brother Song Xiang was a consul, and Song Qi should avoid suspicion.
Song Qi is very innocent. Lao Bao, you have to be reasonable. If you don't seek pleasure in Yizhou, you won't be able to be an official, Lao Bao.
The officials are also speechless. This is not appropriate, that is not appropriate. Then your boss will be the Third Secretary, okay?
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Back then, Lao Bao asked the officials to establish a heir apparent. The officials were forced to do so, so they directly said: "Who do you want to establish?" Lao Bao took off his black gauze hat and said back to the officials: "
If you doubt my intentions, then you can remove me and then re-establish me!"
But this time the situation changed. Lao Bao didn’t know why, so he took the call!
Now it was Ouyang Xiu's turn to be disgusted.
Ouyang Xiu immediately wrote: "Bao Zheng was recently appointed as the third envoy. On the day of the appointment, there was a lot of discussion from outsiders. It was thought that the imperial court was greedy for Zheng's talent and did not cherish Zheng's reputation. However, he still hoped that Zheng could insist on giving in to avoid suspicion, but for a few days
It’s a pity that Zheng has been ordered to do so!”
I thought he would resign firmly to avoid suspicion, but he did this!
"Zheng is naturally talented and straightforward, but he has little knowledge. He may not think about the affairs of the court. To the extent that he is expelling someone and replacing him, the traces of suspicion are well known to everyone. Is it possible that Zheng is the only one who does not think about it?"
If you drive others away and take the position yourself, Laobao, you are suspected and defective!
"When Zheng was in Taiwan, he tried to accuse Zhang Fangping of Chen's first three commanders, so Fang Ping dismissed him and replaced him with Qi of the Song Dynasty. He also heard that Zheng made a mistake in attacking Qi, so Qi also dismissed him, and Zheng took his place. This is called Qi Tian.
How can it be said that there is no fault in seizing a cow? But if one wears his hat and wears his shoes, he should avoid suspicion."
Because the farmer's cattle trampled the field, he was sentenced to confiscate other people's cattle. It is too much to punish Lao Zhang in this way. Then it is Lao Bao's turn. Why are the standards different? This is not the same as melon fields and plums under
Can't you tell clearly?!
Ouyang Xiu is really a straight person. When Lao Zhang was the censor, he often said bad things about him. Now he is complaining for Lao Zhang.
As soon as Bao Zheng heard about Ouyang Xiu's memorial, he also proposed to resign, but Emperor Renzong did not approve it. Please stop it, please? Can everyone put aside the dispute and look forward? Should the Minister of Finance be left vacant?!
If it's empty, it's empty! After a while, Bao Zheng "was inaugurated".
The shock this case brought to the political arena did not end there. When the Kaifeng Mansion tried the case, it was also discovered that Prime Minister Fu Bi's son-in-law, Yangzhou Zhizhou Feng Jing, was also involved with Liu Baoheng.
When Feng Jing was working in Beijing, he was a neighbor of Liu Baoheng. He once borrowed money from Liu Baoheng using copperware as collateral.
Due to poor management of the wine shop, Liu Baoheng's family had little money left, but he was unable to refuse Feng Jing, so he used his family's silverware as collateral to lend Feng Jing a loan from the treasury.
This was a trivial matter, but Zhang Fangping was there to deal with it, so Feng Jing immediately avoided suspicion, resigned, and applied to help the poor in marginal mountainous areas.
The officials then transferred Feng Jing from the prosperous county of Yangzhou to the small place of Luzhou.
This incident made Su You dumbfounded. What happened to Lao Zhang was so similar to the situation when the husband of a sports star and the financial secretary of a certain Hong Kong bought a car before the tax adjustment.
Wait, the level of integrity of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty can be compared with the cleanest government in later generations? Don’t be ridiculous!
But fortunately, I still have acquaintances in the transportation department, who can be considered half of my teachers.
Zhao Peng, old man Zhao, is now one of the three departments in charge, the deputy envoy of the Du Branch Department, equivalent to the deputy minister of finance.
Old man Zhao also rents a house. Su You's arrival made him very happy: "Is my white turtle okay?"
Su You pointed at himself: "I have traveled thousands of miles to come here to see you. You, don't ask anyone, ask the turtle first? Besides, the white turtle is my guest, and now there is a cute little name called Jade Slave. I am willing to admit defeat.
Ming Gong."
Old Man Zhao said: "It's so good, aren't you just here for the exam? Have you decided whether to go to the Ministry of Rites or to transfer to the Sigong Academy?"
Su You said: "It goes without saying that it must be the Transportation Department. The Transportation Department of Kaifeng Mansion is under the direct jurisdiction of the Planning Department. With you and Mr. Zhang here, this is half of my natal family."
Old Man Zhao sighed: "Now it's Bao Gong. He is a good man in dealing with clean government, but he can only focus on clean government."
Su You smiled and said: "Isn't this good? Aren't you also good at this? The joints are not as good as the censor Bao, and Zhao Zhizhou is cold and unfavorable. Nowadays, the solar terms are in full swing, and the three divisions are alone in the coolness."
Old man Zhao waved his hands: "Three divisions control the world's money and food. It's good to be bustling with people. It's not a good word to be alone in the coolness. You are a bad boy!"
After saying that, he asked again: "Stop making trouble, have you found the person who will sponsor you?"
Su You sighed and said: "If you don't dislike Su You's lack of talent, he is considered a good one. I originally wanted to add Mr. Zhang, but he is no longer in the court..."
Zhao Pian smiled and said: "Your cousin is familiar with Ouyang Neihan, so there is no need for us."
After speaking, he took two letters from the bookshelf behind him: "Here is one letter left by Lao Zhang before he left, and one letter is mine. Take these two letters and go see Uncle Yong and Sheng Yu. Article
In terms of career, they are still reliable."
At this time, the clerk came in and said, "Deputy envoy, Judge Duzhi would like to see you."
Zhao Pian smiled and said: "Please come in, it just so happens that you should be able to talk to this person Mingrun once you meet him."
After a while, a man came in. He had a dignified appearance and a well-proportioned figure. He was considered a handsome man. Well, he just had an arrogant look on his face, and he was a little dark and dirty.
Her clothes were also sloppy, and there were sweat marks on her underwear under her neck.
The man saluted Zhao Pian and said, "Deputy Envoy, the "Inscription on the Wall of Deputy Envoy Duzhi's Hall" is ready."
Chapter completed!
