Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 574
Zhao Huan approved Wei Chengen's father-in-law.

Wang Kai's reluctance had already threatened Da Song's interests in Korea to a certain extent.Goryeo must have its mission to resist Jin's eastward advance.

Obviously Wang Kai could not lead Goryeo to complete such a task.

Zhao Huan picked up another letter and looked at it for a long time. This is the case recently submitted by Jiantai.Written by Yu Wenxu, also signed by Li Gang.

It was about Zhou Weiwei, the minister of the Ministry of Punishments who was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment in the Song Dynasty, had an economic problem.

There are three courts in Yushitai. The Taiwan court is in charge of rectifying and prosecuting officials and pushing prison lawsuits. The palace court is in charge of the ceremony of enshrining the palace court. instrument.

As for Wednesday's fear, it was discovered by the Taiwan Academy that Wednesday's fear was accepting bribes.

Some time ago, Zhao Huan issued an edict to the Wa Kingdom, requesting it to speed up the mining of silver ore, and let the [-]-material ship Mulanzhou, which had just tested the water, go to the Wa Kingdom to transport silver materials.

Emperor Chongde of the Wa Kingdom accelerated mining, but in the past year, the Wa Kingdom officially only had [-] silver materials, which could be sent to the Song Dynasty.

Emperor Chongde, who had not completed the task, was a little panicked, so he sent Tang envoys to bribe Wednesday Wei, hoping that Wednesday Wei could go to Li Qingzhao of the Ministry of Commerce to do some work.

On Wednesday, afraid of accepting a bribe of about 2 taels of silver, he went to the Ministry of Commerce to discuss the matter with Li Qingzhao.

When the three thousand silver materials that Wa Kingdom lacked were in the court discussion, Zhou Weiwei also stood up for Wa Kingdom.

Of course, Wei Wei's opinion on Wednesday is not unreasonable.

The mining methods of the Wa country are extremely limited, and the Song Dynasty should send a group of mature craftsmen from the Work Relief Institute to personally go to the Wa country for surveying, mining and smelting guidance.

Accelerate the mining of silver in Japan to meet the demand for silver in the Song Dynasty.

Originally, on Wednesday, he was afraid of this suggestion. If it was on the premise that he did not accept the 2 taels of silver from the Japanese envoy, Zhao Huan thought it was very reasonable.

The silver output of the Wa country directly affected the commercial prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

The collapse of the reputation of the Great Song Dynasty Hall also prevented the Great Song Dynasty from issuing a large amount of money to attract and accelerate business flows.

The Song Dynasty, which was short of money, needed silver as currency to stimulate the economy. For this, it was not unacceptable to send craftsmen to Japan.

But the problem lies in the fear of the 2 taels of silver on Wednesday.

"Go find Mr. Yuwen." Zhao Huan said to Zhao Ying.

In fact, the 2 taels of silver was not a big problem in Zhao Huan's view.

Although the Song Dynasty has not yet reached the point where being an official for thousands of miles is just for money, but this bad habit of the 160-year court is still a lot.

In the past, Wu Min, Li Yu, and Li Bangyan were corrupted by tens of millions. Looking back at the 2 taels of silver on Wednesday, you will feel that it is not a big deal.

But the state has national laws, and on Wednesday, he fears that he is the minister of the Ministry of punishment, in charge of Xing prison, knowing the law and breaking the law, and it is unreasonable not to punish him.

"See the official family, the official family is safe." Yu Wenxu walked to the Wende Hall, and saw the frowning look of the official family.

"Mr. Yuwen, how do you deal with the economic issue that we feared on Wednesday?" Zhao Huan asked while holding the letter from the Taiwan Academy in his hand.

Yu Wenxuzhong was the final judge of this letter, so he naturally knew what Zhou Wei had done.

"Official family, on Wednesday we accepted Emperor Feiyu's granddaughter as a concubine. This matter was not written in the letter." Yu Wenxu took out another letter from his sleeve and handed it to the official family.

After Zhao Huan finished reading the letter, he looked at the original letter again and asked, "Why didn't you write a letter?"

Is it the bad habit of officials protecting each other?Zhao Huan looked at Yu Wenxuzhong with some doubts.

Yu Wenxu said with a smile: "This is to allow the officials to punish Zhou Wei more flexibly."

"If the officials want to do it big, they can do it with the enemy. If the government wants to do it small, then this matter can be done with the ink."

Zhao Huan nodded, the feeling was to allow himself to flexibly punish Zhou Wei.

Since his ascension to the throne, Zhou Weiwei has done a lot of practical things, and the Xing Department is considered stable under his control.

Zhao Huan also sighed, and said to Yuwen Xuzhong: "Wednesday, this person is usually quite reliable, why did he suddenly commit such a stupid thing. With only 2 taels of silver, I can put him into exile."

"There are too many people who ruin their futures, officials." Yu Wenxu looked at the officials and said with a smile, "Wednesday is just a moment of confusion."

"Then Mr. Yuwen, how do you think it's appropriate to punish this Wednesday?" Zhao Huanrao asked with interest.

The matter was discovered by his people, and he was the last to bring it up, so Yu Wenxu should know how to deal with this person.

"Officials, I think it's more appropriate to be exiled to Lingnan and serve as the economic envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi." Lieutenant General Yu Wenxu said the punishment he had prepared long ago.

In South of the Five Ridges of the Song Dynasty, apart from Guangzhou, which was relatively prosperous, other places were barren mountains and wild beasts.Zhupolong, that is, crocodile, crawls all over the ground.

So going to Lingnan to be an envoy, to Zhou Weiwei, is indeed exile, don't look at an envoy, the name of Mr. Xianggong is nice, but he is actually going up and down.

Yu Wenxuzhong thought for a while and added: "In this way, Zhou Weiwei's reputation has been preserved, and he has also been taught some lessons. Now it is a troubled time, and the concubine he took is from the Wa country. This matter is usually not a big deal. , but at the current point of time, it seems that the overall situation is not important."

"When did this concubine, the granddaughter of Emperor Feiyu, take it in?" Zhao Huan asked after carefully distinguishing the letters, thinking of the details.

"Xuanhe five years." Yuwen Xuzhong replied.

Zhao Huan understood in an instant, the wind beside his pillow.

"Do as Mr. Yuwen did. Go to Lingnan. If you do well, you can return to Beijing. If you don't do well, you can retire in Lingnan." Zhao Huan thought for a while and said, "Combine these two books into one One book, make an imperial edict, and pass it on to all officials."

"By the way, there is a vacancy for the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. Is there any suitable person?"

Yu Wenxu nodded: "When this letter was posted, I thought of this issue. Li Dazai recommended Song Shiqing, the probation officer of the Criminal Prosecution Division, and Song Ti Xing."

Zhao Huan was very impressed with Song Shiqing, a very courageous person, good at finding clues on corpses, and a stern and selfless person.

"Then let's settle it." Zhao Huan agreed to the proposal about Song Shiqing's successor.

Zhou Wei is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment of the Sangong and Liuqing. The Ministry of Punishment of the Song Dynasty is not permanent. It is wrong that someone wants to go further and choose to be a minister to be gilded.

At his level, they are at least ministerial officials, and if they affect the whole body, if they affect Zhou Zhouwei, they will affect the entire Ministry of Punishment.

The appointment and dismissal of a powerful official is not a trivial matter, it involves a lot of entanglements of interest groups, and since Yu Wenxu chose to report the matter of Wei Wei on Wednesday.

In fact, it also means that Bianjing has already made preparations.

"If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers. If your ministers don't keep secrets, you will lose your status. If you don't keep secrets, you will suffer. So a gentleman will keep secrets and not come out. The ancients really did not deceive me." Zhao Huan shook his head again and again.

On Wednesday, Wei Na is a permanent official, typically at the center of power.

Just because he took in a concubine and listened to some pillow talk, he personally ruined his future.

What achievements can be made in Lingnan?

He looked at his hands and fell into deep thought. These hands and the pen he was holding determined the rise and fall of the world.

If you don't keep secret, you will lose the world.

At this time in Bianjing City, Li Gang, Song Shiqing, and Zhou Wei were sitting on the wine table in Fanlou.

On Wednesday, Weiwei had already gotten wind of it. As early as a month ago, news of the Taiwan Academy's investigation into him had spread.

The 2 taels of silver was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Zhou Wei got a glass of wine, took a sip first, wiped his mouth and said, "Did the official family come from Yanjing?"

Li Gang nodded, and said: "I haven't dismissed from office, I'm going to be appointed as an envoy in Lingnan."

Zhou Wei nodded, picked up his wine glass and touched Li Gang and said, "In the fifth year of Xuanhe, the envoy of the Wa Kingdom envoy Song Song, who was obsessed with lust, accepted the granddaughter of the Emperor of Japan as my concubine."

"I deserve today."

Wei Wei gulped it down on Wednesday, and said sadly: "I was the prefect of Pingjiang at the time, how did I know that one day I would be able to be in such a position? I didn't think too much about it. Alas, I made a wrong step. I have Lao Li Dazai in the middle." It's been around."

"Otherwise I wouldn't have the face to face the elders at home."

Li Gang shook his head: "From now on, I will call Brother Zhou Xianggong Zhou. At that time, the court was chaotic and dark, and it was a time when monsters and monsters were rampant. People were panic-stricken and didn't know what was ahead. Brother Zhou can't be too blamed. The general situation is like this, we wait Can An be like this?"

Wei Wei said sadly on Wednesday: "What's the matter, Mr. Lingnan has been vacant for many years, maybe more than 30 years. Who wants to go to Guangdong and Guangxi to be an envoy. Li Dazai made fun of me."

"It's Song Tixing. After you take charge of Xingbu, you must be careful in everything, and don't follow in my footsteps."

Song Shiqing nodded.

Li Gang glanced at Zhou Weiwei, poured a glass of wine, and tapped his fingers on the table for a while: "Brother Zhou, Lingnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, within ten years, there will be a huge opportunity. As for whether we can seize this opportunity, It depends on whether brother Zhou can do what he can do in Lingnan during this time."

"Oh? In the backcountry of Lingnan, what opportunities are there?" Zhou Weiwei looked at Li Gang with a puzzled expression. This news is very important!

He has been substantially exiled, but Li Gang's banquet is very strange.

Li Gang is an independent minister who doesn't like forming cliques, and rarely meets people in private. Today's farewell wine made him feel weird from the beginning.

"I can't say enough about this. You can go to Li Bangyan to learn from him and see what he is preparing recently. You will understand what I am talking about." Li Gang said with a smile, "Da Song is at the time of employing people. , Some of the faults of the Supreme Emperor, the officials will not be too fussy, but after that, it depends on Brother Zhou's fortune."

"Li Bangyan?" Zhou Weiwei was puzzled for a moment, stood up, bowed long and said, "Thank you Li Dazai for your guidance!"

This is a call, Li Gang's two words are likely to change his fate.

Li Gang nodded, when the willow twigs were on the moon, the banquet dispersed, fearing that he didn't eat much on Wednesday, he hurried to Li Bangyan's house.

However, Li Gang did not go to Dazaifu, but returned to his original residence. He sat in the courtyard and refused to leave for a long time.

"It's not easy to be a sole minister after all." Li Gang stood up and said with a sigh to Mingyue.

I was inexplicably scared on Wednesday.

The banquet was inexplicably drunk.

What he said was also inexplicable.

Li Gang looked at the bright moon in the sky, stretched out his hands to the sky, and murmured: "People, there are always times when there is no other way."

　Thanks to "another novice" for the reward, thank you for your support.
