The Wind Rises in Chang'an Chapter 168 A Heavy Blow

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ps: Today is the last day of this month, and Wu Mei¡¯s saved manuscript is 0. I spent all night coding last night. I really can¡¯t stay up all night today, but I will work hard to code the 200 monthly votes.  The days when I don¡¯t save manuscripts are uncomfortable, and my golden body of updating thousands of words every day can hardly be maintained.  I was dizzy. I actually marked another chapter 168, and my head was dizzy.  "The Prime Minister has fainted!" "Where is the doctor? Go and save people!" Wei Wan fell down with a big bump on her head. All the civil and military officials in the hall were immediately confused. The doctors walking around were as busy as if they were headless.  Flies were scurrying everywhere.  "What really made everyone confused was not the Prime Minister's fainting, but the two big boxes of gold. Bribing the three ministers and nine ministers with a mere 1,080 gold was simply the best joke of the year.  But with the gold right in front of them, all the officials and officials changed their expressions, which just proves that the bribery was genuine.  "Why do you accept bribes?" This question flashes in the mind of almost every bureaucrat.  According to the latest provisions of the Han Dynasty Money Law, 60 pieces of gold are worth 600,000 five baht, which is indeed a huge amount of wealth for mid-level bureaucrats who only rely on their salaries, but it is also limited to middle- and lower-level bureaucrats with a middle-level official salary of less than 2,000 baht.  As long as you get into the rank of Shangqing and join the small circle of dozens of most powerful people in the Han Empire, no one will be poor, and even those who were poor before are no longer poor.  The prime minister is not even poor. His rank is more than ten thousand shi, which is quite scary. He only got 4,200 shi, and he was given 210,000 shi according to the half of the money and food, plus fruits and vegetables, clothing, cloth, salt and seasoning as welfare.  Basically, everything you need to eat, wear, and use the meat sauce specialty is distributed, and the price of the vehicle and even the driver are paid by the treasury.  The Prime Minister who has reached that stage.  Maybe you are not rich and powerful, your money and food will not be short of even a cent, your daily expenses will not be less, your family members will be respected outside the home, and your status advantage is an intangible wealth. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s unnecessary if the risk is too high, and it¡¯s not worth the time and effort if the amount is too small.  The doubts that all the civil and military officials can¡¯t answer are no matter how unreasonable they are.  No matter how absurd it is, it's useless to talk about it.  The witness was the four princes who had turned over and stood there stupidly, and the physical evidence was the two boxes of gold that were kicked over and scattered on the floor.  "Cao Shi! You did it on purpose!" Niu Dian said angrily.  "Can I say no?" "Forget it why are you so vicious, you bastard! The old prime minister is such a good person, and he has spared you many times. You are not willing to do anything cruel! You are worse than a beast with a heart like a wolf." Niu almost arrived  Furious.  "I am so kind. I am such an innocent person who cares about the country and the country wholeheartedly. You are willing to kill a good person who was slandered and slandered by you for no reason! You are simply worse than a beast." "You bastard, we should have killed him as early as possible.  Cao Shi laughed loudly and said, "In what month and year? You said this just a few months after you became the Tingwei. It seems that you have been the Jiuqing for more than ten years. In fact, you are a fool."  What a bastard." Niu Dingqi's face turned purple and turned red like a pig's liver: "You insulted me in front of me. Don't you know that I am one of the Nine Qings?" "Then what did you say when you insulted me?  ? Are you trying to have double standards? I can't scold you? Do you still want to be shameless? " Niu Da's expression went up and down like a roller coaster, and his face suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood.  Reasoning is not your opponent, and neither is reasoning.  He no longer knew how to fight back, because his head was completely messed up. At this moment, he did not recover from the blow of Wei Wan's fainting. When he ran up to attack Cao excitedly, he only gained double humiliation.  The lord captain did not dare to move. He did not even have the courage to stand up. He had been taught once at the racecourse yesterday and he did not want to be taught a second time.  Most of the other ministers¡¯ eyes were dull and motionless. The two boxes of gold brought a huge psychological impact to them. They spent a long time recalling this sudden blow.  "The foundations of the meritorious princes are deep, and the evergreen trees of the princes who have survived the fourth generation of Pingyang Hou Li are too hasty and inappropriate." "Our foundation is too shallow. We only rely on twenty or thirty years of political experience.  With five years of experience and connections, it is too unrealistic to get rid of the leader of the meritorious princes and completely defeat the meritorious princes." "Of course, it is a daydream. I understand where we are wrong.  We shouldn¡¯t fall out with Marquis Pingyang so quickly. If we give us another half year, maybe the outcome won¡¯t be like this.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t take another half year. As long as we don¡¯t encounter these four bad guys at any other time, we won¡¯t lose without these two boxes of gold.  It¡¯s so miserable.¡±"What are you talking about? Let's stop talking about it when we have lost to this point. All we have to lose is to admit defeat and ask for a decent chance to withdraw!"  I don't dare. The princes are too powerful. Even Zhang Ou, the lieutenant of the Northern Army, belongs to the princes. Both the northern and southern armies are in the hands of the princes. They will have trouble if they don't lose.  The person involved was scared.  The officials and ministers who were watching had nothing but admiration and respect for Cao Shi. The seventeen-year-old young man had courage, courage and means, and was a hundred times better than them being timid and hesitant.  A dozen of people alone, not only did not be killed by the group, but called the helper to clean up the opponent.  Apart from being awesome, there is no other way to describe it.  The middle doctor Fan Taguang stood out and said to the four stupid crown princes, "Don't worry too much. If you have anything to say, just say it." The four crown princes seemed to be frightened.  Duoduoshuo mentioned what he had seen at yesterday's horse racing meeting word by word. When he mentioned that a few people bought telescopes worth 20 gold and accepted gifts from the four crown princes, the civil and military officials in the court were speechless.  "Important ministers say, these are a bunch of brainless fools! You dare to accept the money from the prince and prince of the feudal lord. Are you out of your mind or your brain out of urine?" Li Gan opened his mouth and scolded all the three gongs and nine ministers.  Go in.  When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw this rude-speaking Cavalry Commander, they were immediately relieved.  Few people in the Li family in Longxi have normal brains. Li Guang is famous for being stupid, bold and brainless, while Li Danghu's brain circuit runs in a straight line.  There was no change in the dictionary in his head. Li Gan inherited his father's fine tradition and was nicknamed Li DaDa in the army, jokingly calling him silly and bold.  He is a new wonder in the brainless world. Cao Shi praised him as a young man from 2100 years ago, the bravest samurai in funny games. In addition to fighting, he only had all kinds of funny ideas in his mind.  And the dirty words learned from the ruffians in the army.  If Li Gan had any brains, he wouldn't have asked him to test his archery skills over and over again. He even humorously proposed to become his teacher and learn how to fire hundreds of arrows in a row.  In the end, even more amusingly, he exchanged his family's stone-penetrating archery.  Cao Shi didn¡¯t even bother to talk about him. The continuous firing of hundreds of arrows requires basic and step-by-step training at the age of 15. The skills of continuous firing are completely different from ordinary archery. Ordinary marksmen will not be able to copy this unique skill even in a hundred years.  Otherwise, it would not be the unique skill of Gan's father's family who has been a prominent marksman for generations.  Li Gan is not old but not young either.  It would be useless to learn any magical archery skills in his early twenties. His set of stone-piercing archery skills was given to him for nothing, and what he gave Li Gan was just a small skill of firing twenty arrows in a row, which required explosive power and  The speed is relatively low, and the range power and instantaneous arrow speed will also be greatly reduced. A horizontal shot of 100 steps (75 meters) is the ultimate range. It can be regarded as a shrunken copy of the magic skill at best. Li Gan even knew that it was incomplete but still had fun playing it.  I was speechless.  ¡°It¡¯s okay for him to be a brainless person, and he especially likes to call other people brainless.  In the past, Lieutenant Ning Cheng, the Northern Army lieutenant, was most often scolded as a brainless bastard in the military camp. Today, when he came to court, he spilled his usual catchphrases, and the three nobles and nine ministers became the unlucky ones to be scolded.  The doctor Linghe's face darkened with anger: "Li Gan! How dare you roar in the court! Do you know about the laws of etiquette and law? Get them for me!" "Wait a minute! Although the words are rough, I don't care.  No, I really like his sincerity and drive." Liu Che chuckled, making it clear that he wanted to disgust you people, so he was right to scold you.  "Che'er!" "Grandma Huang!" Dou Yifang said: "After all, he is a minister of the Han family. It is wrong to be insulted by a small official. You should not protect the Cavalry Commander." "What Grandma Huang said is  , then let me order him to go back and copy the military law 100 times as a warning to others!" Liu Che said with a smile.  The Queen Mother was helpless.  It was a huge scandal that the prime minister accepted bribes. She had no ability to defend herself like Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty against Chao Cuo for drilling through the wall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The main trouble was that she was not justified in her name and was sitting in the main hall nominally supervising the emperor's governance.  She was thousands of miles away from listening to politics behind the curtain and even being called the Queen Mother. The emperor had done a good job in governing the country, but she was incapable of finding fault with her. Even reciting a few lines of Huang Lao Weiwei's mother-in-law sutras had no effect. What could she use to calm her down?  Live in people's hearts?  It is nothing more than using filial piety to suppress the emperor, and using status to suppress the civil and military officials of the court. As long as the ministers succumb to her majesty, the power of the government will come into her hands bit by bit, but now it is completely impossible.  The prime minister still accepted bribes.  Dou Yifang was so angry that she really wanted to throw away the crutch. She had known Wei Wan before when she was not blind, and he had always been a very honest and upright official. Her husband, Emperor Taizong Wen, liked Wei Wan very much and left it to his son Gao  Emperor Zongjing experienced misunderstanding and recognition, and graduallyGiven the high position of Prime Minister Ba Liehou, logically speaking, his wisdom, means, and knowledge should not be too bad.  But Wei Wan was really that stupid, so stupid that he almost collapsed. Not to mention that he couldn't accept the gift from the prince of the feudal lord, and he couldn't even touch a cup of tea or a bowl of rice. He had no mission to accompany the prince of the feudal lord on his travels, so just contact him privately.  He violated a taboo and touched a minefield that the emperor could not tolerate. There was no point in explaining that he didn't know something, was kept in the dark, and was bewitched by traitors.  "It's like mud falling into the crotch. No matter how many flowers it comes, it can only be a piece of poop."  Dou Yifang was very powerful in the palace, and his methods of palace fighting could be ranked among the top ten in history. However, he was not as powerful as the powerful Empress Lu Pheasant. Without the three gongs and nine ministers to act as minions, he could not even take in all the detailed changes in the court.  , her careless grandson was too defensive against herself.  Dou Yifang's aggressive momentum suddenly weakened by more than half. He was shouting to kill Cao Shi just now, but now he is silent. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Will suffer the consequences instead, she must beware of this now,???????????????.  The Queen Mother and Wang Nan sat silently. At this moment, she was thinking about what had just happened. The more she thought about it, the more terrifying Cao Shi's scheming became.  In the blink of an eye, she treated Sangong and Jiuqing like monkeys. When she looked back at her impression paper, she saw that this little guy was getting more and more powerful.  Wei Wan was rescued.  The old man pointed at Cao Shi and said "you" more than a dozen times, but he couldn't hold back a complete sentence.  It was too frustrating to lose, and Cao Shi used shady means to beat him up, but he couldn't tell the story of his pain. He knew clearly that Wei Youqu, who borrowed the money, was the prince of the feudal lord, so he hesitated at first and still followed the advice of Sangong and Jiuqing.  Borrow money, once everyone borrows money.  It's not good if I don't borrow it myself. Secondly, I always feel that this is happening without anyone noticing, and everyone is involved in a bit of a mentality of not being held accountable.  As long as the loan hole is closed secretly, it will be treated as if this never happened.  But in just one night, everyone who was caught in the Dongchuang incident got all the stolen goods, and even the aggrieved person who jumped into the Yellow River couldn't wash away his grievances.  But he didn't have the shame to cry out that he was wronged.  I borrowed the money myself. No one is wronged by your love or my wish.  If you want to quibble, there are witnesses, political opponents, the emperor, hundreds of civil and military officials, Lang Wei, and chamberlains, and thousands of pairs of eyes staring at you. If you continue to quibble, you will only lose face, and you will lose your face in the end.  Cao Shi asked with a smile, "Does the Prime Minister have anything else to say?" If you have anything to say, say it quickly.  If you have nothing to say, just stand up neatly and get out of here smoothly.  How could Wei Wan not know?  After holding it in for a long time, he hummed: "I am ashamed of Your Majesty, I am ashamed of the Empress Dowager, I am ashamed of the Queen Mother, and I am shameless Prime Minister. Please allow me to retire and return to my hometown!"  "I am also a reasonable person." "I am too old to serve Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to retire and return to my hometown!" "Embarrassing, embarrassing and humiliating.  Wei Wan even suddenly understood some of Cao Shi's feelings. What he had done in the past might have caused such feelings. He was even more surprised by Cao Shi's forbearance at such a young age. An old man of his age could not stand such a situation.  Frustrated, how did Cao Shi manage to be calm and indifferent.  Suddenly I felt that my temper was still too narrow, and I couldn't even tolerate an outstanding young man. I impatiently designed a boxing glove to humiliate and subdue him. After several attempts to subdue him, I made a murderous attempt to destroy him.  Since I can¡¯t get it, no one else can get it either.  Wei Wan has always prided himself on being a good person, being kind and courteous to others, but at the critical moment, he couldn't stand the word humility and threw away the self-cultivation he had accumulated over the years.  When I feel guilty and self-blame, the other person is already angry to death.  Dou Yifang held the crutch in his hand and pressed down hard, making the stone steps creak. He was annoyed for a long time but could not say a word "no".  The only thing to blame was Wei Wan's dizzy state. She could only lower her head when someone grabbed her hand. She felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, as if she was punched in the air and almost lost her waist. When she turned around, she was hit again.  He was punched so hard that his eyes were filled with stars.  As soon as Wei Wan retreated, where could he find an obedient and familiar Third Duke to cooperate? The Empress Dowager herself didn't know how he could suppress the court. Why should he continue to manipulate the disobedient grandson? It was useless to rely solely on filial piety without capital.  Yes, no matter how noble the old man is, he cannot live for his children and grandchildren. After being crowned, he is an adult and must live alone in a separate family. Even if the children who are still attached to the family eat in the same room with their parents, the household registration number, tax and corvee will be recalculated.  Tian Fu huddled in the corner with his eyebrows lowered and silent. He was happy to see the young master Cao Shi fall and fall. It didn't mean that he had to fight with Marquis Pingyang to death. The current situation was clear that Cao Shi had won a big victory and Wei Wei had won.  The Gang members were beaten until they were unable to fight back, and they collectively fell into a state of collapse.  "Your Majesty, please take pity on me that I am old, incompetent and useless, and please allow the remains of Chen Beggar to return to his hometown.  " After all, Wei Wan is the head of a hundred officials. According to the custom, the prime minister took the initiative to resign. The emperor had to refuse to express his regret, so Liu Che made several false offers before approving the dismissal. " According to the custom, Liu Che gave Wei Wan a carriage as a reward.  As a means of transportation, he was allowed to return to the prince's country for retirement with the salary of two thousand dan, but he was not given the three-gong treatment of 4,200 dan. It was not that the money was too much, but that the punishment was to cut off the official position and resign.  However, Wei Wan ran away and retired directly. The imperial censor Zhi Buyi followed him and wrote a letter begging for the body. The emperor also expressed his intention to stay before he agreed. Liu Che originally liked this good old man Zhi Buyi, so he could do it.  The imperial censor handles all the minor matters in the court very well, and always maintains a modest attitude and does not get involved in big and important matters. His personality is somewhat similar to that of Wan Shijun Shi Fen. It is just because Zhi Buyi has a very good relationship with Wei Wan and they have been partners for many years.  If one of them is eliminated, the other must be kicked out. Even if they cherish their talents, they must be given up. The emperor's treatment for Zhi Buyi is to receive two thousand dan for retirement. The crime of bribery must be pinned on their heads. Otherwise, they will be dismissed from office in the capital for a few years.  If you move around and return to your hometown, you will not have the chance to recover again.  When the ministers resigned one after another, no matter whether it was pain, hatred, anger or reluctance, they all had to face the cruel reality.  It's a good job. If you work hard, you can be promoted to one of the three men in just a few years. However, he only worked in Tingwei for less than half a year before he was forced to retire and return to his hometown. He still had the stigma of taking bribes on his head, so he didn't need it.  I think there is no chance of recovery in this life. Lord Duweinu is relatively unlucky. He has been wandering among the ministers for ten years, but in these ten years, he has been forced to make a lot of money without getting a lot of benefits.  After he was dismissed from office, all his benefits were reduced, leaving only the low-level treatment of Captain Erqianshi. The huge gap between his inner expectations and the actual results almost caused him to have a psychological breakdown. Everyone else felt like their parents had died.  With a sad face, they smashed the golden rice bowl they had held for many years. They originally wanted to destroy Cao Shi's arrogance, but the party capital was taken away, and a group of high officials became a mob.  The end result will be very miserable. All the civil and military officials were stunned. They sacked almost two-thirds of the two thousand stones, and only a few of the remaining nine ministers turned around.  Before leaving, he said slowly and without doubt: "I have been wrong about many things in my life, but Cao Shi was the most wrong. I dare not say how capable he is. At least he is better than I imagined. I think  I have made too many mistakes.  " Resigning half of the three ministers and nine ministers, even if there is a good reason, is a huge event. Resigning is not just a sentence and you can leave. It is very troublesome to hand over official duties and clean up the broken pieces of the ceremony. It is a snake without a head. It has to be  The next court meeting was about the selection of the new Nine Ministers. Dou Yifang was very angry. He clutched his cane and said angrily: "More than half of the Three Lords and Nine Ministers have resigned. You are not qualified to be an emperor!"  ""The Imperial Grandmother" Queen Mother Wang Na also echoed angrily: "What the Queen Mother said makes sense, Che'er should apologize to your Imperial Grandmother soon.  " Liu Che was very annoyed, but he still had to take care of his old grandmother in order to save his face, so he had to lower his head in aggrieved manner and admit his mistake. Who let him, who was junior in seniority and junior in qualifications, be bullied even after being exempted from several nine ministers. " The face of the Empress Dowager suddenly became beautiful.  Many: "Che'er!  I don¡¯t mean to make things difficult for you, because the three ministers and nine ministers are related to the national economy, people¡¯s livelihood, and the country. The sixty-year peace and prosperity that our Han family has worked hard for for sixty years cannot be lost. You, the emperor, must shoulder the responsibility and cannot be personal.  Otherwise, how could I and your mother have the face to meet your grandfather and father?  " The words were very serious. The face of the Queen Mother Wang Nan was burning. Although she was located near the Emperor's throne and some distance away from the ministers, her lowered voice was not afraid of being heard from a distance, but her mother-in-law Dou Yi  She said that the sex was not important, and she felt bad in her heart. She knew that her mean and stingy mother-in-law had remembered her trick to deal with her sister-in-law Liu, who had been looking for her again and again recently.  The mistake was that he was always worried all day long, even in the morning and evening. It even made Wang Quan feel that he was back twenty years ago, when he was picked on by his mother-in-law when he first entered the palace. He had to spend every day in worry with his head bowed and listened to Liu Che's instructions.  , a slight smile appeared on Dou Yifang's face: "Che'er!  Sooner or later, the country of the Han family will be handed over to you.Here, I can only try my best to check for you, choose more loyal and conscientious ministers, gradually change the bad habits in the court, and choose more clumsy tongues, down-to-earth and capable people like your imperial grandfather.  Yes, you must not ask for sharp-tongued people. If there are too many of these people, sooner or later they will be a scourge for the country.  " Since the original team of Sangong and Jiuqing cannot be saved, it is also possible to replace the new team of Sangong and Jiuqing. Dou Yifang clearly wants to occupy the power of personnel appointment of Sangong and Jiuqing. Liu Che wants to speak but can't. He just secretly laughed at the emperor.  Grandma has no one to use. The retribution in this world comes so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he will have no one to use.  " Dou Yifang knew that the Three Gongs and Nine Qings were unreliable, so he simply picked up his little grandson to fight in the ring. Liu Che's immature imperial tricks were not enough in front of the old grandmother who was used to the wind and rain, and he beat him lightly and hard.  The court meeting had only been going on for half an hour, and most of the three ministers and nine ministers had been killed, and it was no longer possible to continue. Just when the visitor was about to announce the disbandment of the court, Zhao Yu, the Taizhong doctor, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Northern Army was riding.  The captain raided Tangyihou's mansion and captured Longluhou on the spot for committing adultery with his father's maid. He also arrested the relevant personnel, Chen Jixu, Tangyihou's eldest son, and Luyi, Tangyihou's maidservant. The results of the interrogation have come out.  " Dou Yifang was shocked: "What did you say?  You repeat that?  " "Yes, last night" "Shut up!"  Let me tell you the key point. Why were Qiao'er and Xu'er arrested?  "" Longlihou Chen Xiang committed adultery with his father's maidservant, and Chen Jixu, the prince of Tangyihou, maliciously framed him.  "Clang! The crutch fell. Dou Yifang threw his head back and fainted. "Emperor Grandmother!  Grandmother, what's wrong with you?  "Liu Che stood up and gave orders: "Don't be stunned by me!  Someone come and find the imperial doctor's order!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
