Kaifeng Mansion immediately sent someone to drag Hua Qin to Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation. Hua Qin cursed endlessly, but Hua Qin was different from Zhang Jian. He was a top-ranking scholar and a true scholar-bureaucrat. Kaifeng Mansion had nothing to do with him, so he criticized the South. However, a piece of news soon came that Hua Qin was not demoted to the south as an official, but was resettled. Therefore, there would be government officials accompanying him. However, a few government officials may have been instructed by some people to gradually move to the south, where the population was sparse. Several government officials were on the way. They began to torture Hua Qin, but before they reached their destination, Hua Qin died under the torture of these government officials. Another life! After hearing this, Cai Que sighed for a long time: "Where is the gentle Renzong atmosphere that we promised?" But it was not over yet. Less than three months after Hua Qin's death, another news came that Xue Yi, the Hedong general, was not used to the southern weather. He also died of illness. He was a military commander, and few scholar-bureaucrats cared about him, but soon another person died, Kumamoto. Shen Kuo could say that he was one of the culprits responsible for the tragic defeat of Yongle City. Hua Qin can say that he is a minor official. Xue Yi can say that he is a military commander. However, Kumamoto was different. He was the number one hero in pacifying the Luzhou barbarians, the second in command in pacifying Dali, and the third in command in the Shuozheng Battle. But Kumamoto is not only good at martial arts, but also has made great achievements in internal governance. Not only has he served as a prefecture magistrate and promotion envoy, but he was also the top leader of the former Ministry of Works. If he is not a scholar-official, then Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi cannot be regarded as scholar-officials either. Not only are they The scholar-officials were the top scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty. When the news reached the court, the whole court was in solemn silence. Wang Ju's approach when he was Prime Minister was to win over the majority of people through concessions and compromises. However, this kind of seeking peace also had disadvantages. Because of the lack of popular support, a very small number of officials were demoted overseas to deter him. It is often said that kindness and power should be used together, with kindness as the main and power as the supplement. This effectively ensured the success of his reforms. However, he said again and again that no one should be killed. Including Xiao Cheng, Wang Ju didn¡¯t want him to come back, but just in case, as soon as he went to the other side, he transferred Xiao Cheng to the other side. Therefore, the imperial edict was issued, and Wang Ju agreed, but Xiao Cheng could not be sent back until next spring. By that time, Zhao Xu had grown up and Xiao Cheng could do no harm. Moreover, due to the dispute between the Luo and Shu parties, several ministers of the Luo Party had been demoted. Now almost no one is paying attention to whether Xiao Cheng can come back. But that's it, Wang Ju has always arranged Xiao Cheng in a place that is neither cold nor hot. Of course, the ultraviolet rays in Lishi are very strong, but they are not harmful to yellow people. At most, their skin will become slightly red. All this is for five words: no life! Once someone dies, and it is a minister like Kumamoto, it means that in the future, Wen Yanbo can also die, and Liu Zhi can also die! Lu Dafang couldn't help but frown, but although most people felt bad, they didn't pay too much attention because the little emperor did so well and was so confusing. But the problem is that there is a quarrel down there. If according to Sima Guang's theory, the cake remains unchanged, then it is divided into four pieces: the country's, the big landowners, the powerful, the nobles and the scholar-bureaucrats, the small and medium landowners, and the common people. Finally, this group should not go on stage. If you can prevent you from starving to death or freezing to death, you have to thank the country. What rights are there to talk about! Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang maintained the second group, and national interests were placed behind this. As for Wang Anshi, what he protects is not the small and medium-sized landowners and businessmen, but the country. The Wang Ju Qi people roared loudly. They were actually protecting all groups, even strictly speaking, the first three groups and the last group. What Wang Ju did was just to give them as many ways to survive as possible, and there was no real protection. Although the cake did grow in his hands. If according to Sima Guang's theory, the interests of this group increase, then the interests of another group will inevitably decrease. At the beginning of Yonghe, it was true that as the interests of several other groups decreased, the interests of the second group were increasing. However, the problem is that the cake shrinks rapidly. Originally the cake was 500 grams, and the second group could still eat 200 grams. But now the cake has shrunk to 100 grams, and the second group even accounts for 70% of the cake. The profit is only seventy grams. ¡° Moreover, the national finances are becoming increasingly unhealthy. In order to make up for the national expenditure, the court has no choice but to focus on the two taxes again. The two taxes increased rapidly from the original 30 million to more than 50 million. In fact, it is not much. After all, the farmland increased a lot during the Song Dynasty and the territory was also expanding. Compared with the original two taxes, the two taxes are still relatively light now. However, the execution was not what the court officials thought. It turns out that the imperial court successively reduced the two taxes, but they could not meet the needs of the imperial court, so officials from the Shipping Department, Lifting Department, and Transshipment Department cooperated with each other.?Sent people to check the grain output and grain prices in various states. The local grain harvest was bumper and grain prices dropped. Officials were immediately sent to make peace with them. First, they ensured the court's demand for grain and grass. Second, they regulated grain prices to avoid injuries caused by low grain prices. Farmer. The execution effect was not as good as Wang Ju expected, but there were no major problems. Overall, it benefited the people. Now the two taxes have increased by nearly 60 million, and there is no relevant coordination and regulation of food prices. Moreover, because of the protection of the second group, not only the two taxes have increased, but all of them have been increased on small and medium-sized owners and even tenant farmers. These people have very pitiful incomes. They almost depend on the weather, good weather, low food prices, and frequent disasters. They don¡¯t have enough stored grain to make a profit, so most of the time they can¡¯t even maintain food and clothing. If there is one less tax grain, the family can survive; if there is one more stone of tax grain, the family may starve immediately. So later China exempted agricultural taxes. In fact, agricultural taxes accounted for a very small proportion of national income, but this move won national praise. This is also the reason. For these low-income groups, even a hundred yuan is a waste. is good. It¡¯s okay if there is no comparison. Countless people will be disappointed when they do. As a result, more and more people were disappointed with the new court, including the second group that Wen Yanbo and others desperately defended. What¡¯s even more terrible is the news that when the imperial court demoted Kumamoto to the south, Kumamoto was already sick due to his constant travel. After the imperial edict was issued, Mrs. Xiong told the envoy that I was seriously ill, so how could I go to the south? However, the envoy did not agree and forcibly drove Kumamoto southward, whereupon his illness worsened and he eventually died. Wen Yanbo has a very high IQ, and when the country is at this level, there are problems everywhere and it¡¯s hard to cover up. So he wrote again and again, requesting to become an official. Wen Yanbo finally resigned, but the national financial crisis is worsening. Autumn is coming. There is really no fleet arriving on the other side, but this is not good news. Regardless of these fleets, one side is the Song Dynasty, and the other side is not only the other side, but also the huge Tianzhu and Dashi countries, so the trade volume is amazing, and the The industries are countless. Trade has been suspended, and these industries have ceased operations. Not only that, the fleet from the other side did not come, but the life of more and more small and medium-sized owners and merchants became difficult, so they continued to sell their properties. There was no fleet from the other side, but there were ships from the Song Dynasty, and then they hired them in partnership. The ship left the Song Dynasty and went to the other side, so much so that a ticket was worth hundreds of dollars! After Liu Zhi heard this, he frantically ordered a ban on the sea. Under Wang Ju's promotion, the navigation industry on the other side developed, and the Song Dynasty's navigation industry also became developed. It was not just navigation for foreign trade. After all, the imperial court took back Jiaozhi. Even if the city was not occupied, it surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and the north-south dispatch also became Very huge. How many people can be killed with this stick? There are still some loyal and righteous people. After receiving the imperial edict, Cao Yi, a householder in Hangzhou, ignored the system and rode to the capital. He bought a coffin, then brought the coffin to Xuandemen and read it aloud, to the effect that in the past few years Due to the rebellious behavior of one minister, the country was even more brutal than the Qin Dynasty and darker than the Sui Yang Emperor. Today I come to remonstrate, knowing that I will die, but "I am determined to benefit the country's life and death, how can I avoid it for the sake of misfortune and fortune"? I hope that I can use my life to awaken the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The Song Dynasty cannot continue like this. It is written by Lin Zexu, but Wang Ju once quoted it when he was Prime Minister, and it became widely known. Before he finished reading, the soldiers were about to drag him to Kaifeng Mansion. As a result, countless people onlookers forcibly separated the soldiers to protect Cao Yi. The matter quickly spread to the ears of several prime ministers, and Lu Dafang became more and more frightened. He said that the sea ban could not be implemented, and a conflict broke out with Liu Zhi. There was a conflict between two prime ministers, and only one person learned about it, Xing Shu. In the past few years, the court has been in chaos. The ministers are not ministers, but a bunch of mad dogs. Even the honest Fan Chunren and Wang Cun were bitten into Wang Ju's gang, let alone Xing Shu. He became a member of the Wang Anshi Party and a Cai Que Party, and was demoted to Yongzhou. What was Yongzhou like in ancient times? Xing Shu didn't want to go. He thought about it and thought that he still had some friendship with Liu Zhi, so he wrote to Liu Zhi, hoping that Liu Zhi would plead for him. Liu Zhi wrote back, saying that Yongzhou is a good place, and he will be waiting for a rest soon. Yongzhou is a good place, go ahead, renovate with peace of mind, and look forward to good luck in the future. Xing Shu was furious and went to Yongzhou holding his breath. Now that he heard everything going on in the court, he saw an opportunity. The opportunity is that the Shuo Party is the dominant party and has no choice but to fight. Internal divisions have begun to occur. That is, the relatively moderate Shuo Party and the radical Shuo Party have begun to be at odds, so they wrote a letter to the court. This Yongzhou The good thing is that the "Xiu Fu" that was about to be restored in the past has become the "Fu Zi Ming Pi". Everyone will complain about the crooked building, but this group of people in the Song Dynasty??The doctor is knowledgeable and has a good level of proficiency, so the meaning of this sentence is completely different. It becomes Yongzhou is a good place. You go and wait for the day when the Queen Mother returns to power The letter was in the hands of Yang Wei, the censor of Lu Party. , Yang Wei revealed another thing. Before the old and new parties intensified, Liu Zhi had tutored Zhang Dun's son in his studies at home. Since Zhang Dun is the leader of the traitorous party, why do you still teach his son's homework? Because you didn't succeed at that time, you fawned over Zhang Dun. This shows your character problem. If your character is not good, how can you be the prime minister of the country? Liu Zhi self-identified, but he has been too crazy in the past few years. There are not only "Lu Dang" in the court, but also a large number of more low-level officials. They are not Lu Dang or Shuo Dang bosses. They have their own title in their hearts, but Because of his low official position and no right to speak, he dared not speak out. Now that Yang Wei led a group of major parties to attack Liu Zhi, the opportunity came and they wrote letters one after another. So the list of Liu Zhi party members also appeared, including Wang Yansou, Liu Anshi, Liang Tao, Zhu Guangting, Jia Yi there are more than thirty people in total, which are the big guys who have danced more powerfully in recent years. After this group of people were finished, Liu Zhi and others were demoted out of the court one after another. By this time, Gao Taotao also calmed down. Whether it was as dark as Emperor Sui Yang and as brutal as the Qin Dynasty, she didn't know, but she knew that such chaos in the court had never happened since ancient times, at least not in the normal era of a unified dynasty. . After repeated consideration, Gao Taotao issued an edict to recall the "giant party" Fan Chunren, Wang Cun, Su Dongpo and others to the capital. After all, Fan Chunren was the leader of the moderate faction and wanted to use him to ease the conflicts in the Song Dynasty. But even if Fan Chunren came back, it would be useless. The court was too violent now, and he would not dare to do anything. The country continued to decline. In the spring of the next year, Gao Taotao did another thing to alleviate the people's resentment. He asked his grandson to marry the young lady of the Di family. He wanted to use the emperor's marriage and the country's happy event to further ease the conflict. However, because she was extremely unhappy with the Di family's young lady, the marriage caused controversy again. Because she was not happy, the marriage was very low-key. Almost only a small sedan was used to carry Di to the palace, and then the marriage ended. Fan Chunren then wrote to the Empress Dowager, this is the emperor's wedding, it is very inappropriate to do this, the national finances are very difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, there are still expenses for a wedding. Gao Taotao rebuked Fan Chunren loudly again, and Gao Taotao was very aggrieved. I let my grandson get married. What does this mean? It means that I am also ready to return power to the emperor. What else are you going to do! At this time, Zhang Jian went to Beijing to report on his work. When the Song Dynasty came to the county establishment, there were two official positions: county magistrate and chief bo, as well as county captains. Depending on the situation of each county, some small counties had bos but not bos; However, as the population became denser, it was difficult for only three officials to manage a county. Therefore, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty ordered that any large county with more than 20,000 households could have a county magistrate, who would be above Bo Wei. But this can be set, not necessarily set. There was no Cheng in Huating County, but Bo and Wei. It turns out that the county captain was an old Jinshi who passed the fifth grade. The fifth grade was worthless and he was getting old, so he had no dispute with Zhang Duan. Last year, the old county lieutenant died, and the court sent a new county lieutenant. This king county lieutenant had a good background and was a top three Jinshi. So when he arrived in Huating County, he saw two subordinate officials above him. He felt very unhappy, so he started to have evil thoughts. In fact, Zhang Jian did a very good job, and this water conservancy project was better than Cai Que and Wang Ju expected. First of all, Cai Que stayed until the winter of the first year of Yonghe before taking office, which ensured that the Liangzhe Road provided three water conservancy projects. year supplies. With Cai Que¡¯s departure, a large-scale purge began inside and outside the government. Three officials, including Shen Jiayang, were also purged and left the Liangzhe Road. The newly appointed magistrate Su Weicong was Liu Zhi's prot¨¦g¨¦, but despite Zhang Jian's praise, Su Weicong did not make things difficult for Zhang Jian. Especially when Su Weicong went to Huating for an inspection, Zhang Jian deliberately led a group of squires to entertain Su Weicong and praised Su Weicong during the dinner. Instead of his mentor Liu Zhi, this made Su Weicong very happy and even allocated some funds to continue to support the construction of this water conservancy project. Liu Zhi went down, and Su Weicong was also transferred away. The new governor Zhu Gai who was transferred was said to be a disciple of Fan Zuyu. Nowadays, the disciples in the Song Dynasty should not be taken seriously. There are very few who have real teaching relationships. Most of them just accept a big boss as their disciples to build relationships. The big boss also needs these "disciples" to do things and expand his power. At this time, Wang Xianwei also discovered a truth. The water conservancy project in Huating County is very low-key, but its actual scale is not two hundred miles long. In fact, even this length is not considered small-scale. What is more important is its depth and width, which is several hundred meters wide and more than ten meters deep. The deepest point reaches nearly 20 meters, and many tributaries still need to be repaired. So it¡¯s expensive, apparently, the source of the expenditure is very clear. One is the material support from Xiuzhou and Liangzhe Road, and the other is the "donation" from local powerful people. Especially later, even the powerful people in Suzhou came to "donate" one after another. It was not a donation, but for those who Good farmland. China's cultivated land is too thin, especially those in the north, which have been cultivated for thousands of years. Many fields are "malnourished". In Wang Ju's words, if he does not consider the survival of thousands of households, he would not want to The officials were advised to issue an edict to plant milkvetch in all the cultivated land in the north in the winter, and then plant beans after soaking in the spring. After ten years of rest, the people were allowed to cultivate, otherwise the output would never be able to keep up. ??And unlike Jiangdongwei, this is a pond field, close to the sea, with a short flood season. As long as the Huangpu River lifts up the entire water conservancy, they will instantly become the first-class fertile farmland in the Song Dynasty. Finally, there is the taxation of Huating County itself. As the Huangpu River extends upstream, at least large sea ships can sail to Shanghai. In addition, with the continuous increase of cultivated land and immigrants every year, business taxes and taxes have been gradually increased. Although the court asked Su Weicong As the governor of the state, Su Weicong continued to agree that Huating County's revenue outside the original tax base would be allocated to water conservancy projects because of Zhang Jian's flattery. However, these were still not enough to build this large-scale water conservancy project. The Wangxian Lieutenant General searched again and again and found out the donations from the thirty businessmen. So the more he checked, the more questions he had, and finally it was determined that these thirty businessmen were related to the other side. There is a relationship. With these evidences, he reported to Zhu Gai, but by this time the spring officially arrived, the project had stopped, and it was about to be completed. Zhu Gai thought about it and reported to the court again. The imperial court summoned Zhang Jian to the capital for questioning. Zhang Jian was very smart. He did not say that he was entrusted by Cai Que, but that he initiated this water conservancy project at the invitation of the local gentry. As for these dozens of merchants, he did not know much about them. In exchange for money for water conservancy repairs, Zhang Jian was very smart. Silk, Zhang Jian introduced the practice of exchanging money and silk for farmland. These dozens of merchants also exchanged money and silk for farmland. It was normal, so Zhang Jian did not investigate carefully. If the court has any doubts, it can send envoys to investigate the origins of these dozens of merchants. There were also ministers asking questions, but now that the prime ministers have become Lu Dafang and Fan Chunren, the methods are not so radical. The construction of this water conservancy project will indeed produce many benefits. Lu Dafang thought about it and did not issue an order to investigate the dozens of people. He asked Zhang Jian to return to Huating County and complete the remaining thirty miles of water conservancy in the autumn. " Moreover, the capital was already very strict at this time, and Lu Dafang had no intention of continuing to question this water conservancy project. After Zhang Jian left the capital, Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren, Fan Zuyu and others broke into the palace. Gao Taotao re-enabled Fan Chunren, but the country continued to decline and the court was not peaceful. Gao Taotao fell ill in despair. It just so happened that Zhao Xu¡¯s eldest relative, Di Yong, as the head of the country, brought his group of more than 4,000 officers and soldiers back from the Hebei garrison. Zhao Xu was afraid of an accident, so he asked Di Yong¡¯s men to replace the original guards. Some ministers objected, but Zhao Xu didn't listen. At this time, Zhao Xu was extremely grateful to his father and Wang Ju. It was their arrangement that Di Yong's general was particularly large. There were ten battalions of officers and soldiers, three battalions of cavalry, and seven battalions of infantry, which could just meet the needs of the palace guards. ??????????????? But there is still one key issue that has not been resolved, that is, the internal affairs department and the internal affairs department, also known as the front and back departments, which are the eunuch departments of the palace, of which the internal affairs department is the most important. So Zhao Xu sent his confidant Xiao Huangmen to Hongzhou with a secret edict, and asked Li Xiang, who was supervising the wine in Hongzhou, to return to the capital secretly immediately. Li Xiang understood after receiving the secret edict, deliberately pretended to be ill, bribed some of his subordinates to cover up for him, and then quietly rode north quickly. After arriving in the capital, he was immediately appointed by Zhao Xu as the eunuch and the provincial capital. Only then did Zhao Xu feel that he had sense of security. The news immediately reached the ears of several prime ministers. Fan Chunren and others were dumbfounded. What did the little emperor want to do? Did he want to kill his grandmother? So everyone gathered and forced their way into the inner palace. Gao Taotao said behind the curtain: "The old woman is about to die. In the past few years, I have been protecting the holy bow. I have tried hard to save my heart. I just want to protect the legacy of the martyrs and protect the peace of the Song Dynasty. I wonder if the officials know it? My husband and the world know it. No." Zhao Xu replied respectfully, "Grandma, my grandson knows." But his hands clenched into a fist. Actually, it would be okay. If it weren't for Wang Ju, under Gao Taotao's tossing, although Zhao Xu became pro-government, his body would have completely collapsed. But even with Wang Ju's arrangement, Zhao Xu has been tortured so much by Gao Taotao in recent years that he can no longer practice Wuqinxi. Even the dozens of policy papers left by Wang Ju were burned by the eunuchs, and he didn't even dare to Talk whatever you want! Gao Taotao continued: "Because I was entrusted by Emperor Wu Zong on his deathbed, I was promoted to the palace with the official family. Several years have passed. You guys tell me what's on your mind?"?What benefits did it give to my natal family? Just because I wanted to be fair, one of my sons and one of my daughters died without seeing them (referring to Zhao Xu¡¯s fourth brother Zhao Kai and his eldest daughter, Princess Chen Guo). Because they came of age, they had to open a mansion or marry outside the imperial city. Gao Gao Taotao was unable to leave the palace, so he died, and Gao Taotao was unable to express his condolences in person). " Then she talked about a lot of her achievements. Lu Dafang and other ministers echoed her. Zhao Xu became more and more angry as he listened, and finally couldn't help but said: "Dafang, wait out! "Grandma, the Song Dynasty has been struggling like this, and they still have the nerve to brag to each other here! Soon Gao Taotao died of illness. The Song Dynasty court suddenly became very quiet, no one quarreled, and for more than a month, Zhao Xu didn't say a word. Fan Zuyu I couldn't help it anymore, so I wrote a letter, Your Majesty, no matter who you want to use, it must be from a national perspective (don't think randomly, we don't agree with using the New Party). The great Empress Dowager is dead, it must be. Just like Renzong did to Empress Dowager Liu, he ordered the people not to discuss the rights and wrongs of Tiansheng to ensure political stability, protect the reputation of the Queen Mother, and enhance Renzong's reputation for benevolence and filial piety. The memorial was sent to the palace, but the news came that Zhao Xu had activated Liu. It is inevitable to become a famous eunuch. When the king changes his position, especially the inner palace must be controlled. Li Xiang alone cannot control the two provinces. Fan Zuyu is even more anxious. This trend is not good. He continued. He submitted a letter, but he heard a shocking news. Zhang Dun was also transferred back to the capital from Yingzhou by Zhao Xu. Zhang Dun's departure could not be concealed from Yingzhou officials, but as soon as the emperor took power, he activated Zhang Dun. , the Yingzhou official dared to report to the prime ministers in the capital, so Zhang Dun was about to arrive in the capital, and the ministers in the court were informed. All the big shots were anxious. Lu Tao led a large group of ministers and kept writing. Your Majesty, you can't do this. Why? If you want to appoint a prime minister, you must use a formal edict from the court, that is, the emperor issues a verbal edict, or writes it in cursive script. After being reviewed by the two officials or subordinates, it can be rewritten. Edict. It¡¯s fine if you use this secret edict to appoint a eunuch, but to appoint a prime minister, this appointment is invalid. However, no matter how much trouble they made, Zhao Xu did not give any response. On the contrary, Zhao Xu asked Di Yong to send another eunuch. A group of personal guards went to greet Zhang Dun in person to avoid any unexpected incident. Fan Chunren said sadly, "Don't even fight." It was even more excessive than Han Qi to force Zhao Xu. , if the struggle continues, is it possible to pull the emperor down? Su Dongpo saw that the situation was not good, and left the capital. He could escape, but Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang could not escape. When Zhang Dun came to the capital, this group of ministers did not care about their face. They personally came to the Dongshuimen Pier more than ten miles away to welcome Zhang Dun's return. Zhang Dun looked at this group of shameless ministers and didn't say a word. He just chuckled and ordered Cai Que and Zhang Shangying to be removed. , Li Qingchen and others were transferred back to the capital one after another. Zhang Shangying received the imperial edict delivered by special foot. Before he left, he handed it over by special foot. "Wuzong's great virtues and great achievements were ruined by a traitor, so I request The imperial court has sealed up all the files of all the ministries and departments in the capital. No one is allowed to check them without my order to investigate the integrity and loyalty of every official. Moreover, the Shuo Party has done something outrageous. Zhang Jian went to Beijing to report his work and report the whole story to the court. Zhu Gai couldn't wait and came to Huating to inquire. In Huating, he accidentally fell in love with a traveler named Lan Lan. He was very fond of her and stayed in her house for more than ten days. , and then return to Xiuzhou. This Wangxian Lieutenant saw another opportunity. Under his instigation, Lan Lan took his maid to find Duan Tianshui, and wanted the land for his concubine. " Unlike Zhang Jian, who is good at dancing, Duan Tianshui is not that quick-witted. He was very happy when he heard it. You are just a prostitute, not Liu E's trick, but a real prostitute. Why do you want land from me? "And there are other squires. Although they were allocated a lot of farmland, they all bought it in disguise with money. You are a little prostitute with a big mouth and nothing to say. Why should you ask me for dozens of hectares of farmland? In a rage, the officer whipped Lan Lan fifty times and dragged him out. This stirred up a hornet's nest. Lan Lan ran to Zhu Gai and cried. Zhu Gai was furious and immediately took Duan Tianshui to the Xiuzhou Prefectural Government Office for conspiring with the "traitor" Wang Ju, where he was beaten severely. Duan Tianshui had worked hard for the river work in the past few years. His health was not good to begin with, and he was beaten to death after a severe beating. However, in order to cover up his crimes, Zhu Gai sent people to arrest the thirty merchants at their homes. However, the thirty merchants were not at home, so he arrested all the servants in their homes and tortured them to extract confessions. Isn't that right? Zhang Jian returned to Huating County under such circumstances, but he was very smart andWhen he heard the relevant news, he immediately hid himself and used the connections of the local squire to find out the relevant truth. However, he did not dare to say anything. He was about to "flee" to the other side in fear of crime when he heard the changes in the court. Therefore, he took the risk of being arrested on the Liangzhe Road and sneaked back to the capital to complain about his injustice. After Zhao Xu saw the memorial sent by Zhang Dun, he immediately summoned all the important ministers and said angrily: "We only used a few materials from the imperial court and almost single-handedly built such a huge water conservancy project that benefits the country and the people. In the last thirty years, such a hero of the country, the majestic Lord of Jinxian County, was forced to death by a prostitute, Lu Dafang, what happened to the Song Dynasty in the past few years! " PS: I have opened a new book, please! Please support me. Xianpo,.qidian./bk/.
