Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

"...In short, the current situation is like this." Lu Ci brought the three of them into the study, and after sorting out the information he got, he made a long story short, looked at Di Qing who was concentrating, and almost swallowed the word 'Yuan Fang' Go back: "Young brother, what do you think?"

Di Qing pondered seriously for a long time, staring fixedly at Lu Ci, as if hesitant to speak.

Lu Ci smiled, and said in a half-joking tone: "I specially summoned you three to inquire, just to let you speak freely without any scruples. Just speak up, if it's really a joke, I'm sure I won't Call it out of this study."

Only then did Di Qing slightly lighten the burden in his heart, smiled shyly, and said cautiously: "In my opinion, the key to this matter is to let the government and the public see clearly the wolf ambition of Li Yuanhao's son, and actively prepare for the party, rather than simply repelling it once. Raid on the market."

As soon as Di Qing finished speaking, Yang Wenguang still had an expressionless face, but his eyes were a little empty, while Gao Jixuan blinked subtly and coughed lightly with guilt.

——Before Di Qing opened his mouth, Gao Jixuan was thinking about how to prepare for the battle, so as to clean up those thousand little bastards who dared to stroke their beards.

Lu Ci smiled and nodded: "Do you have any good ideas on how to make the court pay attention to this point?"

Watching this flawlessly handsome, glowing face suddenly approaching, and being stared at intently by a pair of bright and deep eyes, Di Qing felt his heart skip a beat. After that, it was like a big bowl of live loach falling into a frying pan, jumping up and down non-stop.

He quietly licked his somewhat dry lower lip, trying to regain his composure, and then continued hesitantly: "Since there is still a month to go... If the grandfather submits a memorial to the court, I implore the transfer envoy to come to supervise teach?"

Although Di Qing was worried that his words would be too blunt and that his father-in-law would think he was stupid, so he purposely spoke very euphemistically, it still made Lu Ci's eyes light up.

Although he hadn't thought of it before, but after receiving the revelation, he immediately understood the unfinished meaning - what Di Qing proposed was to use tricks and play hard to get.

Obviously, the emperor Zhao Zhen, who came to the throne only last year, has supervised the country for many years as the crown prince, but he is still far from being able to control the court in terms of age, prestige, and experience—even The former emperor Zhao Heng, whose reputation has risen greatly after concluding the Chanyuan Alliance, has been in power for many years, and is in the prime of his life, had to seek the consent of several important ministers in the court before he tossed about the farce of descending from the heavenly scriptures.

If we want to take a strong approach to the party, we must obtain the consent of the officials of the Zhuhe faction, which is the majority in the DPRK, before it can be implemented. That is really not easy.

Compared to roundabout ways to kill and persuade, the best way is actually to invite the one who has the most say in them to come to Qinzhou for a visit in person.

Then on the day when Li Yuanhao planned to rob the venue, he coaxed people to go to the venue.

At that time, no matter if we do it more violently, let this person be taken away for a "day trip" and then rescue him, so that he can experience the seriousness of the situation; or stop it in time, let Tang Xiang go back empty-handed, and let the hostages simply be frightened , as long as you are on the scene, it is definitely more "vivid and vivid" than pure text narrative.

What's more, since Qinzhou reopened the market under his suggestion, the trade between Dangxiang and Song Liao has become closer, and the wealth and taxes involved have also increased... The previous calm was due to his intentional obstruction to prevent any Those who want to get a piece of the action will intervene, and now as long as they take the initiative to report, they will never have to worry about finding a reason for heavy personnel to supervise.

If this important person is not a transfer envoy, he will probably be a senior member of the household department.

"Sounds good." Lu Ci thought for a while, and he had a rough plan, looked at Di Qing with a smile and said: "If this strategy succeeds, it will be all due to you."

Di Qing shook his head: "I'm just talking nonsense, I never dare to take credit for it. It's just..."

Lu Ci generously continued: "Just say it."

Di Qing hesitated again and again, but still whispered: "If you want to send people in disguise to ambush in the arena, can Gongzu let Wansheng Camp also join in, and how many people will be added?"

Without waiting for Lu Ci to answer, he hastened to promise: "Other people can't believe everything, I would never dare to take them with me. If I only add the two of them, I dare to guarantee with my life that nothing bad will happen."

Gao Jixuan, who was blinking his eyes hard for a long time beside him, was half relieved when he heard the words, and then took a breath again.

Lu Ci, who was watched eagerly by Gao Jixuan, couldn't help laughing after hearing this unexpected request: "Since you have guessed my plan, how can I say 'no'?"

His wish came true, even Yang Wenguang, whose expression rarely changed, couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, and the three of them joined hands and left happily.

After sending away these young generals who were well-known in history but have not yet emerged, Lu Ci immediately added a few urgent military reports, telling people to hurry up and catch up with the few letters sent out a while ago, and to ensure that they will be together. Arrival——Since you want to hide your own people, you must not let the news out.

Lu Ci was confident that Cao Wei would keep his mouth shut.

And there is a lot of confidence in whether the little emperor can hold back his words and cooperate with the plan.

After all... Lu Ci believes that at this age, no matter how calm the young man looks on the face, it is inevitable that he has a special liking for prank plots in his heart.

If the letter paper can also speak, it can fully prove that Lu Ci, who has only been an instructor in the Eastern Palace for a short period of time, is indeed trying to figure out the careful thoughts hidden under the serious appearance of the former students. It is quite clear.

Because the two urgent reports arrived before and after, after reading the first one, Zhao Zhen was so shocked that he was about to ask the ministers to invite the ministers of Zhongshu Province to come to discuss the matter, but after reading the second one, he immediately calmed down down.

He read the two letters over and over several times, alternately flustered and dazed... until he quickly calmed down.

After making sure that he hadn't missed anything, he almost never hesitated, and decided to cooperate with Lu Ci in this good show.

It was only when he specifically chose who to go to receive the fright that Zhao Zhen really hesitated.

It's not that he wants to take this opportunity to rectify a little bit, those courtiers who rely on the old to sell the old and don't give him little shoes are too few, but there are so many of them that he doesn't know which one to pick for a while.

Zhao Zhen couldn't make up his mind for a while, and soon it was the time of the morning court. He changed his mind and simply threw out the 'excuse' that Lu Ci had arranged in his heart.

According to the law, Lu Ci, who knows Qinzhou, should submit the account books to the household department on a quarterly basis, and then the officials of the household department will review the account books.The petition submitted must state in detail the amount of money, items, issued, retained, etc. in the old management, current receipts, expenditures, and present, for review by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

However, according to this report letter from a certain official in Qinzhou, it said that due to the existence of the dispute field, there were some difficulties in the rectification of this season's account books, and they should have consulted the Ministry of Accounts before proceeding in detail.

However, Lu Ci was self-willed and wanted to make his own decisions, so he had to report to the Heavenly Tingling, and hoped that the court would send someone to secretly supervise.

Perhaps it is because since Lu Ci became an official, apart from the "natural disasters" that inexplicably angered the late emperor and caused him to be relegated, he has smooth official career, outstanding achievements, and always has the attitude of turning danger into good fortune, so that he should be the official of Qinzhou. When officials reported that he had neglected to handle government affairs, all the officials in the DPRK and China did not react immediately.

After digesting the name 'Lu Ci', it was indeed the Sanyuan who seldom made trouble after being banished to Qinzhou, the expressions on the faces of all the officials became subtle.

... Is this matter true or false?

Among them, the reactions of Kou Zhun, Yan Shu and others were the most intense: they were puzzled at first, then surprised, and finally overflowing with disbelief.

Therefore, when Zhao Zhen threw out this "handle" according to Lu Ci's plan, and pretended to show a distressed look, he actually raised his eyelids secretly, just waiting for the first one to jump out, and then "selected on the screen" hour……

All that came was silence.

"...Is there anyone willing to volunteer to help Lu Qinzhou?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking of Lu Ci's ability to always turn dangers into blessings, but no one came forward.

Just when Zhao Zhen was confused at first, and then marveled at Lu Ci's "good popularity", Kou Zhun stood up generously.

What is Kou Zhun?

Zhao Zhen frowned without a trace, and soon came back to his senses.

Also, if Kou Zhun intends to defend Lu Ci, he will definitely invite him to go, lest someone make use of the problem and harm the other party.

However, there is something in this matter, how can Kou Zhun's good intentions be followed?

Zhao Zhen intentionally drove back the fish that had bitten the wrong bait and made trouble, and hurriedly said: "How can the court be without Mr. Kou's assistant? Please, Mr. Kou, go back and list."

Kou Zhun bowed and saluted, with piercing eyes, he said: "Your Majesty, please send someone to investigate the ins and outs of this matter, to ensure that there is no villain in it, and it is difficult to speak out by taking advantage of Zhongliang's way, and make a lot of slander."

The implication is that there must be a traitor, so how could Lu Ci make such a mistake!

Hearing the 'slander' of a friend whom he had not seen for a long time, Yan Shu couldn't bear it anymore, and wrote a postscript: "Lu Qinzhou has been in Beijing for many years and has a very close personal relationship with the minister. I should avoid suspicion and should not talk too much. It is very deep, and I know that I have never asked for the slightest selfish desire. Except for minor matters adjudicated by His Majesty's will, I must prepare multiple copies for all major matters, and I will act after consulting the imperial court. No matter whether this report is true or not..."

Even Wang Zeng, who had been steadfastly standing on the emperor's side since he was called back to Beijing, and never knew where he stood, thought there was something strange about this matter: "I also..."

Zhao Zhen was speechless.

Even if he was full of grievances, it was impossible for him to tell Kou Zhun, Yan Shu and others who were filled with righteous indignation. I am!

If we really send these people there, wouldn't they be betrayed on the spot?

Just when Zhao Zhen remained silent in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer, Wang Qinruo, who had always been the best at trying to figure out the emperor's heart, suddenly lit up his eyes.

According to his speculation, most of what was said in the letter was not a pretense, or it was just avoiding the important ones.

Kou Zhun, a reckless man, was aggressive at the time, and he wholeheartedly defended Lu Ci, but he didn't want to think about it. He just saw that the little emperor's trust in Lu Ci, which can be called unbelievable, hadn't reached the point where it was hard to conceal and resolve, and he couldn't bear it. And how could he attack the court personally?

The more Wang Qinruo thought about it, the more sure he was in his hands.

When he made up his mind to fight for this one-by-one job of finding out the truth of Lu Ci, Zhao Zhen, like a savior, hurriedly ignored the "group attack" of a group of Lu Ci's friends, and directly clicked He fell for the famous peace faction in the court: "Wang Shangshu is in charge of the household department, it is perfect. Let Wang Shangshu take this trip!"

The author has something to say: Notes:

The Ministry of Households and the state not only have business relations in the physical management of property, but also manage the account books of property in each state accordingly.The state must submit the corresponding account books of various properties to the Ministry of Accounts, and the Ministry of Accounts will review the account books and accept the management of the Ministry of Accounts on the account books. "In the fourth year of Chunxi's reign, Xue Yuan Ding played to drive away the state's wealth, but it is difficult to check with the red calendar. I hope that the Ministry of Household Affairs will go down to the state, and check every location of the warehouse and field affairs in the state and county. If there is any misuse of funds, Xu Bensi will impeach and obtain orders. Other states and counties also beg to implement this, and follow it. The account books submitted by the state to the Ministry of Households have a certain format. The format of the account book, we can understand what the state should explain to the Ministry of Households. For example, the state submitted to the Ministry of Households the "no amount of money to pay the bill"

This kind of document requires the amount of money in the old management, the current collection, the payment, and the present.How many things, how much was issued, how much was retained, etc., are clearly stated for the review of the Ministry of Households. Through this document, the Ministry of Households can clearly understand the property situation of the state. ("Song Dynasty State System Research")
