Chapter 8 8
A year later, the capital city in August was unusually hot.Children on the street have heard too much from adults, and they have also learned to spread the saying "everything is a monster".The children only know that the weather is hot, and the common people only know that there are many school officials who come to arrest someone on the road. Only the officials and adults are still anxious in such weather, and break out in cold sweat from time to time.
Since the implementation of the New Deal, most of the officials who supported the New Deal from the beginning and followed it strictly have been promoted.The best of them even entered the imperial court directly.They filled in the gaps, and it was Duan Dizhi who caught them overnight.Not only did the ministers dare not go to any restaurant to avoid being heard what they should not have said, but they were also cautious when having banquets with people in their own homes, lest they violated the taboo of "not talking about state affairs".Now everyone is in danger and only wants to protect themselves.In the past year, Duan Dizhi led the Bi An school officials to arrest too many people.Even the magistrates in remote places will be framed by others because of the unfavorable implementation of the New Deal and collusion with the tyrants. In the big prison, I can never get out again.Not to mention the noble gentry who refused to implement it. In the past year, there have been [-] assassins whose families have been exiled and their property confiscated, implicating hundreds of people.The states were so frightened that there was no disobedience.There are also people who are angry and say that the Son of Heaven owns the world, but he still wants to rob us of our property!
Same thing happened a month later.
For this reason, some courtiers felt that going on like this was not an option, and they spoke privately to Prime Minister Liang Lie, hoping that he could dissuade the emperor—after all, the emperor could still listen to his words—Liang Lie would no longer blow his beard and stare, but sighed. The younger generation said, go and look at those people who have been imprisoned, which one has not committed an unforgivable crime, even if the old man can tell the difference, how can he start to tell the difference?Duan Dizhi is too smart, she designed capital punishment for these people.
The younger generation turned pale with fright, and asked Liang Lie tremblingly, how did your lord know that it was the Bi An School Office who did it?Liang Lie snorted coldly and said, "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, what has not been done by Duan Dizhi? Seize the shortcomings of others, push the boat along the way to make the person's crime bigger, and then arrest her in her own prison and torture her. As long as she confesses the crime , Immediately exile; if you do not plead guilty, you will be beaten to death. The charges are not important."
The younger generation asked again, aren't you afraid that she will hear what your lord said?Liang Lie sneered and shook his head without answering.What he didn't say was that he also admired Duan Dizhi's approach in the sense of agitating the turbid and promoting the clear.He himself has no ability to clean up this dirty officialdom, and is sometimes hindered.He was able to stand in this battle because of his upright spirit.If the righteousness can be passed on, if more officials have this righteousness, he also believes that the country will be better.What's more, he believed that Duan Dizhi would not do anything to him.They are essentially the same kind of people, sharing common ideals. Duan Dizhi treats him with respect and humility as if he treated the emperor himself.
Before leaving, he said to the younger generation, don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.
Some emperors hate and try to stop the war, some emperors tolerate and try to use the war.Zeng Jingzhao belongs to the former.Some officials commented on her governing style that the world does not belong to the Zeng family, let alone the people of the world, but to her Princess Qinghe, Emperor Yuanhua, alone.During the past year, she got used to the surveillance reports on the words and deeds of officials that Duan Dizhi would send her. She knew what happened to this person, what happened to that person, where he went, and what he did.The scale of the Bi An School Office is growing day by day, but no one knows when and where they are under surveillance, and who is watching them closely from the dark corner.They would rather not know all the time.Because once you know, it will be the day when you will be arrested.More than half a year has passed, and there are no people in the imperial court who dare to criticize the new policy. Anyone who violates the law may be charged with a crime that becomes a serious crime overnight. It seems to ordinary people that everyone makes small mistakes.
trifle?Duan Dizhi sneered in his heart.If you hadn't done something unconscionable, how could I take advantage of it.
Now Zeng Jingzhao aimed the blade at D Zheng.In such a large imperial court, she promoted more than [-] promising officials from various places, but there were still only two advisors she absolutely trusted, one Duan Dizhi and the other Liang Lie.Trust Duan Dizhi more than trust Liang Lie.For example, this night, she left Duan Dizhi again—Duan Dizhi's current home is more like an office, she often sleeps in the emperor's palace, on the thick plush carpet on the floor of the emperor's palace—the two secretly discussed how to pass the surveillance Means to deal with D war.
"Sometimes I really hate the D war. But the day before yesterday I talked with Liang Lie for a long time. He said that people are divided into groups, and the D faction will definitely appear. The key is how the emperor will be controlled." Zeng Jingzhao leaned on the couch , asked the personal maid Lan Zhi to comb her hair, while Duan Dizhi sat cross-legged on the ground and talked to her.Only Lan Zhi could be there to wait on this kind of scene, that's because Duan Dizhi doesn't know how to comb his hair, otherwise there is no possibility of allowing a third person to hear the important military affairs.Lan Zhi has been serving Zeng Jingzhao since she grew up, and if she wants to talk about friendship, she has a deeper relationship with the princess than Duan Dizhi—she still calls Zeng Jingzhao a princess, not your majesty, Zeng Jingzhao is also used to it—that's why Duan Dizhi stayed overnight frequently at the beginning At that time, Lan Zhi was very dissatisfied, especially dissatisfied that she had to carry a knife.It stands to reason that half of the palace guards are also in your charge, and you have to enter the emperor's bedroom with a knife. Should you say you are trespassing or dereliction of duty?But Zeng Jingzhao agreed, saying it was for Duan Di's convenience, she had nothing to say. "I've thought about it for a few days, and I think it's better to keep an eye on them. Otherwise, I'll always listen to what they say in the court, and I can't stand them bullying you two times and three times."
Duan Dizhi smiled lightly, Zeng Jingzhao also laughed, and after laughing, he sighed: "But I can't really say that he is cheating on you." Lan Zhi finished combing and left as usual.Before closing the door before leaving, he asked Duan Dizhi if he wanted to change his pillow.Duan Dizhi thanked her for her kindness and said that he will be fine.Lan Zhi didn't bother to persuade her again and again, she turned around and left.Zeng Jingzhao leaned on the couch and looked at her, and said softly: "Don't just settle for one thing, this is the palace. Even though I'm just a acting emperor, I can't tell you not to have a comfortable pillow." Duan Dizhi I had no choice but to smile awkwardly, and said: "Yes, yes, my fault." "You are tired and busy all day long, if you look haggard again, people will think that I am not only treating other courtiers harshly, but also my confidants. I don't want to be famous in history, but I still want to be famous."
Treat important ministers harshly, I still want reputation.This word is like a curse.Thinking back now, Zeng Jingzhao felt that what she said was really a great irony to herself.
"Nowadays, the court is roughly divided into three factions." The weather was hot, Duan Dizhi took a fan and sat down against Zeng Jingzhao's couch, and she fanned two of them cleverly. "First, the faction headed by Huan Sheng, the official censor, most of their followers were those who did not attach to Zhu Xuwen back then. strength, but after the fall of Zhu Xuwen, he basically controlled Yushitai. Second, the faction headed by the general of Fuguo Yin Que, whose D feathers either came from the army and are now military officers; Heroic, many of them have made friends with people in the world. Third, those local officials who were promoted earlier, most of them sneered at the two factions of the court and China, and devoted themselves to His Majesty. " Zeng Jingzhao said with a smile: "Liang Lie hates quarrels the most in his life. But he can't hold back. So in the past ten years, he can only keep himself from quarrelling." She picked up the snacks on the table and ate one, feeling good , He reached out and picked up another piece to feed Duan Dizhi, "Come." Duan Dizhi stood there blushing for a moment.
Seeing Duan Di's stupefaction, Zeng Jingzhao herself also felt that something was wrong, as if she was out of order, and was still stuck between the famous and real relationship between monarch and minister for a while.Duan Dizhi must have had some scruples, of course not just between etiquette.They've come to appreciate each other's unusually close presence in their own lives, an intimacy that goes beyond friendship.Zeng Jingzhao grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and she definitely did not have the close friendship of her daughter's family. After growing up, she faced the pressure of all kinds of royal struggles. Except for Lan Zhi, only Duan Dizhi could walk into her life so closely , and they are distinctly different.
Duan Dizhi's eyes are really beautiful, but what is this feeling?She needs to think about it.She won't act until she figured it out.
"Quickly reach out and catch it!" She pretended to be angry, Duan Dizhi immediately stretched out her hand to catch it obediently, this is over.
Zeng Jingzhao listened to Duan Dizhi's analysis for half an hour before the two fell asleep.In her dream, she vaguely remembered Duan Dizhi saying that now the war groups control important places, one is the army, the other is the Yushitai, and the civil service group is divided between the two.Anyone knows that once the fight starts like this, it will be endless, not to mention that the two families were very dissatisfied with themselves when they pushed the New Deal.Now I can only sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Sometimes the scourge of disputes does not lie in abusing private interests and perverting the law. On the contrary, sometimes both sides are talented people of integrity, but they oppose each other at all costs because of their own opinions.It is not uncommon for this to waste national power and make people turn their backs on their backs and ruin the future.Thinking of this, she felt more and more that she was going to have gray hair early.She wants to be a promising king, so she doesn't want to just sit on the sidelines, especially in the state where she can light a fire and watch the fire from the other side. She doesn't want to be an emperor who is held hostage by war, and it's best to give her younger brother Leave a court without disputes.
Set a big fire to avoid future troubles.
In the near future, when she and Duan Dizhi plan to come up with a specific plan, the censor {9} will execute a certain censor's playbook to impeach the local general Zhechong {10} for corruption, breaking the law, There are eight major crimes, including befriending gentry, giving shelter to these gentry, collaborating with enemy countries, and bribing the peak.Zeng Jingzhao was stunned for a moment, thinking that if there was any evidence, Duan Dizhi would have beaten this person to death long ago.But after all, the censors can hear about things and do not involve in the judiciary, so how do they need so much real evidence?She asked Yin Que, the general of Nafu State, who denied it flatly, and accused Yu Shitai of slandering the army because he blocked his new plan to use foreign troops.
Dangting quarreled.Huan Sheng accused Yin of going to war against the other side because of collusion with the enemy's forces, using the country's own strength to make wedding dresses for others, with ulterior motives.Yin Que accused Huan Sheng of fabricating rumors purely for the benefit of the faction to prevent him from creating a profitable strategic depth for His Majesty's expansion of territory, with sinister intentions.Yu Shitai asks His Majesty to observe clearly, the general asks Your Majesty to learn from him, and the second ministers lined up behind their respective bosses, leaving only a few courtiers who did not help anyone.Zeng Jingzhao said for a long time, we will discuss this matter later.
After the court was over, she had an interview with Liang Lie as usual, and today she also called the upright officials from the local area who had been promoted earlier.She said that all the ministers have seen this look now, and they must also hate this filthy government. In the future, I will ask the ministers to work hard on government affairs; the matter of friends will be handled by me.Everyone was delighted when they heard this, but Liang Lie only accepted orders as usual.
Everyone went out of the hall and saw Duan Dizhi standing outside the hall holding a knife.Thinking of what the people she killed had done, some people were terrified, some were disdainful, and some people felt a kind of sympathy for fellow travelers, nodding and saying hello.She respectfully returned the salute, especially when she saw Liang Lie, her waist was bent like a servant who usually greets the prime minister.When Liang Lie saw her, the two greeted each other. A very indistinct smile flashed across Liang Lie's face, his eyes were unclear, and he turned and left.
She must be anxious to see you, the knife in your hand is anxious to drink blood.
