    Chapter 224 Muddy Waters "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you know that what I say is the truth. After all, I also have a royal status. There are ways to know something." Wan Yanlan asked: "Is this information correct?  You can change it to the condition I just mentioned." "What condition?" Ouyang asked confused.  "Unless you really don't want to know why I would lead you to investigate Jin San." Ouyang was still very curious about Wan Yanlan betraying Jin San.  Maybe Jin Sanzhen was not Wanyanlan's direct subordinate, but Jin Sanzhen's lurking was only good for the Jurchens and had no harm.  "Well" Ouyang pondered for a while and then said: "Actually, you should know that it is impossible for me to restrain the attitude of so many businessmen towards Jurchen workers. However, I can introduce you to people from the business association. You are a princess after all. If you can  If we can get some benefits in exchange with the merchants, things may change." "What benefits?" "For exampleintroducing some more workers," Ouyang said angrily when he saw Wan Yanlan, "For example, you can persuade the emperor to do something.  Decision-making. Many workers are mining in Xiaoqinling. If you can persuade the emperor to increase the price of gold and iron, or reduce gold and other taxes, they will naturally reciprocate. " Wan Yanlan asked: "What is reciprocating? " "Yes?  You throw me a peach, and I'll throw it back with a plum. It means you'll get melons if you sow melons, and you'll get beans if you sow beans.  Yan Lan smiled and despised Ouyang.  Ouyang felt warm and remembered the time when he went to the Kingdom of Jin.  The sacrifice this cold man made to protect himself.  Youdao means deep love and deep hatred.  She must not have thought that she saved herself, and that she single-handedly caused the Jurchens and the Khitans to enter into an endless struggle.  No wonder she hated herself so much.  Thinking of this, Ouyang felt a little relieved.  Although the good impression I had on Wanyanlan had long since faded away, I should at least be nice to this poor woman.  "Cough" Zhan Ming coughed, what are you doing.  Even if the woman's blushing attitude was like a little girl, the adults seemed confused as well.  Huilan and Zhan Ming had said that when Wanyanlan was 'held hostage' by Ouyang and came to Yangping, they were a bit interesting.  Unfortunately, when Wan Yanlan came to the Song Dynasty for the second time, it was an assassination mission.  Not only did an injustice come to an end, but it also brought a woman who had no chance at all into Ouyang's arms.  Ouyang hurriedly said: "Let's get back to the original question." Wan Yanlan also realized that he was out of shape, so he sat upright and asked, "What was the question just now?" "" Ouyang looked at Zhan Ming.  Zhan Ming said: "My lord said that Princess Wanyan can achieve her goal through the exchange of benefits." Wanyanlan nodded and said: "I need more." "What more?" "Well" Wanyanlan thought  After thinking about it, he said: "There is a saying in the Central Plains that you miss your loved ones more during the festive season." Ouyang nodded: "I know this sentence." "And the most important things in the Central Plains are the Dragon Boat Festival and New Year's Day." Wanyan Lan said: "So  I want to see them during the Dragon Boat Festival and New Year¡¯s Day.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not too much of a request,¡± Ouyang said, ¡°but I don¡¯t believe you¡¯re just here to see them.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t understand.¡±  Sighing: "Let's spread it out and say that the ambitions of the Song Dynasty are known to everyone. In the future, our Jurchens will either die in the battle or surrender and perish. The most pitiable ones are of course these workers in the Song Dynasty. The Jurchens have become Han people, and they  The treatment is still good. But the Jurchens in Song Dynasty" There is some truth.  Since Wanyanlan came to Song Dynasty for the second time, she has separated from the Jurchen management class.  During the several meetings with Ouyang, I hoped that Ouyang would stop causing war tragedies.  The starting point has always been people-oriented, not power-oriented by the superiors.  She really cares about the Jurchen people, not like Wanyan Aguda, who cares about defeating the enemy. The dignity of the Jurchens is the slogan he uses to bribe the Jurchens, and the lives of the Jurchens are the cornerstone of his throne.  The direct reason why he raised an army was that Liao wanted to attack him, so he gave it a go.  There is also the crying scene performed before the battle in Hubu Gangda, which is comparable to Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms.  Wanyan Lan, on the other hand, honestly believed that Wanyan Aguda was really thinking about the Jurchens.  Every time Ouyang said something, Wan Yanlan would try her best to refute it on Aguda's behalf, confirming the justice of the Jurchens' rebellion.  The further back Wanyan Lan went, the more clearly she saw that those in power were just taking advantage of the Jurchens' national sentiments.  As mentioned in the red drama "Yimeng", during the war, we relied on the countryside, but after liberation, no one paid attention to the countryside.  The red nobles who were treated by the rural people did not even come back to visit their saviors.  Ouyang said: "If you really have such a simple purpose, there is no need for any exchange conditions. Just tell me directly and I will help." Wan Yan??Nods: "If you have anything else to ask Jin Da, just ask." Being so generous, there must be nothing to ask.  Ouyang said: "Send Zhang Jin'er to the punishment yamen in Gyeonggi Province." "Of course" The atmosphere between the two parties became friendly, and Ouyang wrote a letter asking Wan Yanlan to find Zhou An by herself.  At the third watch, I sent Wanyan Lan to the door and left.  "Sir, don't blame me for talking too much." Zhan Ming said: "Every time I see Wanyan Lan, I feel that she is even more complicated." "There are some things that I can only choose to believe or not. I owe her a favor. And what she said  "It's reasonable." "Well" Zhan Ming said nothing when he saw Ouyang's attitude, but quietly looked at the sedan chair going away.  Zhan Ming studies and has read many books.  His literary attainments are definitely not inferior to Ouyang's number one scholar.  I also have some insights into the literary wisdom and inscriptions left by our ancestors for thousands of years.  He intuitively told himself that Wanyanlan was not only not what she seemed, but also had other motives.  Maybe the corpse sinking case in Yangping was really her fault, or maybe the corpse sinking case was just a prelude to all the conspiracies.  Maybe everything was just his own overthinking, but Zhan Ming knew that Wanyanlan was definitely more than just Wanyanlan who came to Yangping for the first time.  Zhan Ming felt that Ouyang was a bit womanly in handling things today.  That also shows how terrifying Wanyan Lan is. Ouyang actually forgot to ask about Jin San. Even though he asked, it was in vain.  ¡­ A few days later, the Royal Newspaper reported the process of Li Gang taking over as Xiangyin.  As for the vacancy left by Li Gang in the Northwest Military Road, Yu Wenxuzhong, a scholar of Zizhengdian, will take over.  Ouyang knew that Yu Wenxuzhong was also a talented person.  Unlike Li Gang, he would not accuse anyone of being a treacherous official or doing something wrong. Instead, he concentrated on doing what he could do, and he had a persevering temperament that could not only endure physical pain, but also mental pain.  He was a hard-working and patriotic minister with foresight and courage that was rare in the Song Dynasty.  A few days later, Li Gang, who had just taken office, asked Zhao Yu to convict Wang Fu.  During this period, a large amount of personal and material evidence was compiled into a book, and there were also petitions from the victims.  The wall fell down and everyone pushed back, and hundreds of officials came forward to impeach Wang Fu.  Wang Fu's fate has been decided. It will not be serious or light. Exile is inevitable.  However, in the atmosphere of unanimous agreement on justice, the court was divided into two groups. One group was Li Gangwei's request for confiscation of family property, and the other group was Li Bangyanwei's belief that unless it was a treason or serious criminal offense, the ancestral system should not be confiscated by scholar-bureaucrats.  ¡°In fact, the officials were not sympathetic to Wang Fu, but they were afraid that if this incident happened to them in the future, they would end up with the same fate.  However, Li Gang, the newly appointed prime minister, was very determined and believed that Wang Fu was corrupt and must be severely punished.  Only then did Zhao Yu realize the side effects of letting a person like Li Gang, who could distinguish between black and white, come to power.  Zhao Yu knows very well that there are countless corrupt officials among officials.  The shortcomings are very serious. If it were not for the continuous war, the irreconcilable contradictions within the imperial court would have exploded long ago.  Some people can be greedy, but not everyone can be greedy.  For example, one is the Meteorological Bureau and the other is the Taxation Bureau.  Which one has oil and water?  As recorded in history, Chen Dong and others could not stand it any longer, so they wrote a letter listing Cai Jing and others as the Six Thieves and demanding strict punishment. In the end, all the Six Thieves had a bad end because of this incident.  "If you agree to copy it, there will definitely be panic among the officials, and Li Gang will get worse."  If you disagree with the confiscation, you will be irresponsible to the new prime minister.  In such a dilemma, Zhao Yu announced: Let's vote. The voting time is half a month later at the court meeting. However, Li Gang, reminded by his cronies, came to Yangping overnight to ask Ouyang for advice.  He knew Ouyang's methods. He had read too many books by sages and could not think of how to use gentleman's behavior to solve problems, but he believed that Ouyang must have a way.  "Huh?" Ouyang was shocked when he heard that Li Gang came to Yangping in person.  Please, this is not the time in the northwest, where I am an imperial envoy and you are a subordinate.  You are now a minister of the first rank, and I am just a sesame official of the sixth rank.  Besides, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s inappropriate for you to thank me for recommending you in such a big way?  "What?" Ouyang was shocked when he heard the purpose of Li Gang's visit.  Since Li Gang drove a carriage to Yangping that day, Ouyang didn't even know what was going on in Chaohui.  Li Gang said seriously: "Since ancient times, evil has never been able to defeat good. It eats the emperor's salary and takes care of the emperor's worries. But nowadays, there are many corrupt officials in the court, so it is rare for the emperor to deal with Wang Fu seriously. If you don't take this opportunity to seriously deal with the emperor, there will be endless troubles in the future." Ouyang  He smiled bitterly and said: "Master Li, let's be direct when we talk in private. The emperor may not know that there are many corrupt officials. The reason why Wang Fu was dealt with was because of Cai Jing's incident, which made the people angry. We can't bring back Cai Jing, who has retired, for trial, right?" "Gentleman  If you love money, you must get it in a wise way. But exploiting the people's wealth and enriching their own pockets is the worst of evils. I also know that all the officials are evil, and the emperor wants to govern but has no way.  It is rare for a sage to open up the way to govern, so I think we should strike while the iron is hot. Even if we cannot eradicate the evil, we can still warn the world. As the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, it is also my duty. "bsp;Ouyang also understands the truth.  Illegal land occupation and exploitation of people will lead to civil unrest.  In the first year of Xuanhe, which was the year before he was usurped from the throne, Wang Fu set up the Yingtai Bureau to seize rare and rare things from all directions and make them his own.  When Wang Fu heard that the imperial court intended to unite with the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Liao Dynasty, Wang Fu tried his best to encourage him and spared no effort. He also raided the people and paid them by mouth, and got more than 60 million yuan, which was equivalent to Ouyang's huge profits in more than 20 years.  Losing the air force's needs is even more fatal. Once there is no logistics and even weapons that cannot be used in a war, it is nothing.  But Ouyang really doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
