I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 34: Ridiculous and generous advice
Zhang Fangping, the Third Chief of Staff, thought for a while, then raised his hands and said, "I'll tell you, the rates are indeed not very high."

Hear this.

Jia Changchao, Wang Gongchen and others couldn't help but smile proudly.

If there is not enough money, it will be useless for the other party to insist. They will definitely win this argument.

At this time.

Zhao Zhen stood up slowly and frowned slightly: "Isn't that enough?"

"It's not enough. Then last October, Kaifeng Mansion had to spend [-] guan to repair the main register hall. Why did the Third Division immediately allocate funds?"

"It's not very sufficient. In December last year, Dengwen Drum Court asked for [-] yuan to renovate the courtyard. How come the Third Division gave the money on the same day?"

"It's not very sufficient. In February this year, the Privy Council asked for [-] yuan to build a barracks for the imperial army. How come no one from the three departments complained to me that the funds were insufficient?"

……

Zhao Zhen looked gloomy.

"Why can't I get even a penny out of doing things for the people?"

"I... I... I am guilty!" Zhang Fangping admitted his mistake with his hands over his face, his face full of grievances.

He didn't expect that Zhao Zhen would turn over old accounts and remember every transaction so clearly.

But these were all approved by Zhongshu, and Zhang Fangping was just the executor.

And this moment.

Jia Changchao and Chen Zhizhong both blushed.

According to the unwritten rules, the court's money is first used for officials, and then for civil affairs.

This is a fact that cannot be stated openly on the table.

Prime Minister Du Yan couldn't help but lower his head. Some of them were approved by him.

Zhao Zhen also knew the hidden meaning and immediately looked down.

"I have decided that the state and county schools that were not completed during the New Deal will continue to be built, and those that have been built will be put into operation immediately. Local states and counties can raise funds from local wealthy people. If it is still difficult to maintain, the third department will allocate funds!"

"I don't care what method the Third Division uses, even if I try to squeeze it out, I still have to squeeze out this money!"

Zhao Zhen's tone was very tough.

Su Liang couldn't help but look up at Zhao Zhen, and murmured in his heart: The officials seem to be much tougher today. Could it be that my scripture banquet lesson worked?
Just when Zhang Fangping was about to say yes, saying that the three companies would be able to collect enough money.

Jian Yuan right said Qian Mingyi quickly walked to the center of the hall.

"Officials, you must not do it! Those state schools and county schools are the consequences of the "Ten Matters". If they are not abolished, it will not be enough to show the intention of the imperial court to abolish the New Deal. It will chill the hearts of many local officials. I sincerely ask the officials to reconsider and listen to the opinions of local and state officials. The expenses incurred by these state and county schools are a heavy burden for the court, and they are also a heavy burden!"

"I second the proposal." Li Ding, the supervisory censor, stood up and said.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

Immediately, more than [-] officials headed by Jia Changchao and Wang Gongchen stood up.

The reasons for their opposition are obvious.

If the New Deal is revived due to the effects of these state and county schools, their career will be over.

Qian Mingyi was overjoyed and said loudly: "Guan Jia, the number of opponents in the palace is obviously more than those in favor. I beg Guan Jia to take back my order!"

Su Liang suddenly showed a helpless smile.

This is a method often used by court officials against Zhao Zhen - the human sea tactic.

Zhao Zhen looked cold.

"Does having more people mean it's correct? I'm going against your wishes today!"

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu and Bao Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The officials finally got tough.

At this time, Qian Mingyi suddenly glanced at Li Ding, and the two had an eye contact.

This scene happened to be captured by Su Liang.

Qian Mingyi took a step forward.

"Officials and wise kings of all ages should humbly accept remonstrances. Do officials want to violate the laws of their ancestors? Please take back your orders and don't let the short-sightedness of some villains deceive the emperor!" Qian Mingyi knelt down directly. On the ground.

This is also a trick that court officials often use against Zhao Zhen: to suppress Zhao Zhen using the ancestral method.

In the past, this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly.When Zhao Zhen heard this, he glared and said, "Qian Mingyi, are you threatening me?"

"If you make mistakes, you should remonstrate. This is the responsibility of the remonstrating officer! If the officials do not listen to the remonstrance and completely ignore the thoughts of most of the ministers, then I will have no choice but to remonstrate. I hope that my blood can make the officials sober!"

After Qian Mingyi said that, he stood up suddenly.

His head tilted and he hit the big red pillar in the corner.

This is not the first time that his advice has been criticized by others.

At this time, Su Liang suddenly remembered the book "Taiwan Admonishers' Six Admonitions" given to him by Liu Chang'er.

Among them are the admonishments against the pillars.

It reads: There are two kinds of admonishment, one is real collision and the other is false collision.

The so-called true conflict means that when you are in conflict with the opinions of the officials, you want to die for the sake of the beliefs you hold in your heart.

The so-called fake collision is actually acting.

You talk about quarreling, but you will be stopped in the end, and most people will cooperate. However, as long as you have this behavior, you can win the reputation of a "critic" and make the emperor compromise.

At this time, Su Liang saw Li Ding preparing to stop Qian Mingyi.

I couldn't help but be enlightened.

These two people must be acting.

Su Liang couldn't help but sigh: This Qian Mingyi worked really hard to earn the reputation of a "critic"!

Coincidentally, the pillar Qian Mingyi hit was right next to Su Liang.

Just when Supervisor Censor Li Ding was about to hug Qian Mingyi, Su Liang suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked Li Ding.

"Pfft!"

Li Ding lay on the ground.

And this moment.

Qian Mingyi was less than two meters away from the pillar.

When he realized that Li Ding didn't stop him, he immediately moved his body, raised his head quickly, and rushed past while grazing the edge of the big red pillar.

boom!
Qian Mingyi's face came into close contact with the door and window behind him.

The pillar is as thick as a waist and the color is so bright, how could it be impossible to aim accurately?

All the officials around him saw Qian Mingyi change his direction at the end.

Persuaded!

Some of the courtiers couldn't help laughing.

This acting is so fake!
If Qian Mingyi had hit a pillar just now, his head would have been badly bruised.

Even if he fails to change his mind, he can still get the title of "critic".

When it spread to the people, it became a good talk.

But he cherished his life so much that he became the laughing stock in the court.

Supervisory censor Li Ding couldn't help but glare at Su Liang, the feud was finally settled.

Zhao Zhen stood above and could see clearly.

"This is a shameful thing. I have made up my mind. If anyone objects again, you can submit your resignation. I will definitely approve it!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhen flicked his long sleeves and strode out of Chui Gong Hall.

At the door and window, Qian Mingyi, with a bruised nose and swollen face, was full of regret, regretting that he had not bumped into him.

Now, it was so embarrassing.

At this time, Li Ding, the supervisory censor, walked over to him and deliberately raised his voice and said: "Qian Zhengyan, if you hadn't had an eye disease, I'm afraid you would have died in the palace today. Brother Qian is facing the emperor to remonstrate with you. Such courage makes my foolish brother very angry." It’s admiration!”

After Li Ding said that, he winked at Qian Mingyi.

Qian Mingyi understood immediately. He rubbed his eyes and added, "I...I want to write another memorial to advise you."

The two acted awkwardly.

The other people on the side ignored them and walked out of Chui Gong Hall.

　Oops, this chapter is so comfortable to write. I like this kind of court quarrels. The court of the Song Dynasty must have been like this thousands of years ago. There were gentlemen, villains, and a few self-righteous idiots...
