[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Outlaws of the Marsh (5)

Gao Qiu's arrest inspired the hearts of the people in the Song Dynasty. When the Taoist Emperor announced that he would restore the decree of Emperor Taizong's period "ten wicked people, murderers, and officials who receive dirty things will not be punished", the entire Tokyo city was shaken. Gao Qiu and his son He also became the sacrificial knife person of this decree.For the first time since Emperor Daojun succeeded to the throne, the execution ground in Tokyo City was stained with the blood of corrupt officials.

Cai Jing and his like blatantly opposed the emperor's restoration of the laws of Taizong's time in the court, but Lin Yuzhou's mind was determined. Even if some officials threatened him with death, Lin Yuzhou would not move. Discuss.

This confrontation between imperial power and prime minister's power is shocking.Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have been committed to weakening the power of prime ministers. For this reason, they have split into multiple institutions, and there have been a large number of official positions that receive salaries but have no real power. Rights are divided one by one.

After Cai Jing made his obeisance to the Prime Minister, he took control of the Song civil official group, planted party members, and eliminated dissidents. If Lin Yuzhou traveled a few years later, the outcome of this confrontation would be hard to say. After all, the court was full of Cai Jing’s people at that time. He was specially given the position of "Grand Master". It can be said that one person is under one person and above ten thousand people.Fortunately, Lin Yuzhou came across at this time, Cai Jing did not pay homage to the prime minister for a long time, and even if he had weight, it was still within the control of the imperial power.

Lin Yuzhou's deeds not only inspired the people of the Song Dynasty, but also made them worry. They worried that everything in front of them was just a flash in the pan, and it was not until an anecdote came out one day that the people really felt at ease.

It is said that Emperor Daojun had been in a coma for more than a month. This was not an ordinary coma, but he was perverted and greedy for pleasure, which made the Song Dynasty famous, so he offended God. .

The King of Yama in the fifth hall is Bao Qingtian, the dragon figure. He must be punished severely when he saw the actions of the Emperor Daojun, but Renzong knew about this matter. An opportunity for the emperor to return to the world to make up for his mistakes.For this reason, when Emperor Daojun returned to the world, he began to punish corrupt officials and strive to become stronger.

The Great Song Dynasty had a law of "no crime for speaking", so no matter how outrageous the rumors were, no one arrested the rumorer, which also aroused the desire of the people of the Great Song Dynasty to create.All of a sudden, stories about "Emperor Daojun's one-month tour of the underworld" appeared one after another, and operas such as "Emperor Daojun Punishes Corrupt Officials Gao Qi" were also derived.

When Lin Yuzhou knew about this rumor, it had already been perfected by the people of Song Dynasty, so he almost believed it.

This rumor was told by Zeng Yu to Lin Yuzhou. After getting along for a period of time, Zeng Yu roughly understood Lin Yuzhou's character. As long as he didn't touch his bottom line, he was easy to get along with, so the tone of the conversation was mostly joking.

After hearing this, Lin Yuzhou sighed that Bao Qingtian was really the sustenance of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. He almost carried half of the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty. With his spirit, the people of the Great Song Dynasty can be comforted from the gloomy days.

Lin Yuzhou knocked on the edge of the table, and asked Zeng Yu tentatively: "I remember that Emperor Renzong once granted Bao Longtu three guillotines. Are these three guillotines still in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zeng Yu nodded, "After Bao Longtu passed away, these three guillotines have been parked in the warehouse behind the Kaifeng Mansion. Because these three guillotines were stained with too much blood, ordinary officials couldn't suppress them. No one can use them since Bao Longtu. .”

Lin Yuzhou blinked his eyes. These three guillotines were fabricated by later generations of literature, and they did not exist in history. If there are in this world, is this world a combination of the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses in the Water Margin?If this is the case, then his clothes are too inappropriate. He wants to go to the Renzong period, and wants to see Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Zeng Yu's call brought Lin Yuzhou back to his senses, and let him know that he could no longer see the imperial cat and white mouse. He calmed down and said in a solemn voice: "Da Song needs a second Baolong map, and I will give it to the three of you." Guillotine finds a master."

Zeng Yu looked serious, and made a big salute to Lin Yuzhou: "Your Majesty is holy!"

After Lin Yuzhou asked Zeng Yu to retreat, he walked towards Funing Palace. As soon as he reached the door of the study, he saw Zhao Huan with a pale face.

Zhao Huan also heard the rumors in the market. Lin Yuzhou didn't care, but Zhao Huan cared very much. He knew very well that if he followed the track in his dream, he would definitely go to hell after death.

After entering the study, Zhao Huan made three kowtows and nine prostrations to Lin Yuzhou, thanking him first for saving his life, second for his life, and third for giving him a second life.

Zhao Huan said sincerely: "It is not easy for a person like me to go to the eighteen hells after death. I am sorry for the ancestors of the Zhao family and let alone the people of the Song Dynasty."

Lin Yuzhou was noncommittal, and some mistakes are beyond words, and need to be made up for with practical actions.

"Father!" Zhao Huan suddenly changed his address, "My son will definitely cherish this opportunity, learn more and see more, and will do anything for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Lin Yuzhou rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, and said bluntly, "I don't want such an unlucky son like you, don't call me dad."

Zhao Huan's impassioned mood was crushed by Lin Yuzhou's words, and he left the study dejectedly.

When Gao Qiu's affairs were over, the New Year's Eve had passed, and Lin Yuzhou issued an edict to the Privy Council for the first court meeting of the new year, and Jin granted Lu Junyi of the Daming Mansion as Taiwei of the Palace Marshal's Mansion, and chose a date to take office.

As soon as the edict came out, the courtiers were in an uproar at first, and then relieved.First, the emperor conferred the title of Gao Qiu because of his fondness for Cuju, but now that Gao Qiu is punished, it is nothing for the emperor to promote someone he likes, let alone this person saved him.The most important thing is that the position of Taiwei in Dianshuaifu is really not a high-ranking official, and the Privy Council will not conflict with the emperor because of this.

After the news of Lu Junyi's official appointment spread, the people of the Song Dynasty were happy. After all, they had heard of Lu Junyi's reputation for benevolence and righteousness. However, the people were happy, and some people were angry.

Lu Zhi rushed to Daming Mansion on horseback before dawn. He opened the door of Lu Mansion and found that the servants of Lu's family were busy. It seemed that they were packing Lu Junyi's luggage.

After Ji Shengyan took over the position of Taiwei, he will settle in Tokyo. There are a lot of things to take away from the Lu House, so he specially took the time to come back and sort them out.

"Lu Junyi, Lu Junyi!" Lu Zhishen didn't care about these servants, he stood in the yard and shouted loudly, "The Sa family is looking for you, where are you?"

Sitting in the main hall, Ji Shengyan had already felt Lu Zhishen's aura. Hearing his shout, he glanced at Yan Qing and asked him to bring him in.

As soon as Lu Zhishen saw Ji Shengyan, he blew his nose and stared. He sat on the chair fiercely, panting heavily, and after a while he said: "You really want to take the position of Taiwei, because of that stupid king work?"

Ji Shengyan calmly blew on the tea, buttoned the lid of the cup, and asked, "Do you remember him? The person who drank together that day."

Lu Zhi frowned deeply: "You mean Brother Yuzhou?"

Ji Shengyan raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you curious about his identity?"

"The Sa family is very curious, but aren't you unwilling to say it?" Lu Zhishen looked at Ji Shengyan, seeing a smile on the corner of Ji Shengyan's mouth, and thinking of him suddenly agreeing to be an official, his heart shuddered, and he asked in horror: "Could he be the Emperor Daojun?"

"Kangdang!" Yan Qing entered the room with tea, and when he heard Lu Zhishen's words, the entire tray fell to the ground. He looked at Ji Shengyan in disbelief, trying to hear the words of denial from him.

However, Yan Qing was disappointed, Ji Shengyan nodded, confirming Lin Yuzhou's identity.

Lu Zhishen leaned back on the seat suddenly, only to hear a "click" from the back of the chair, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Brother Junyi, are you kidding?" Lu Zhishen suspected that he was hallucinating.

Ji Shengyan was too lazy to answer this kind of question, he said: "Do you still count what you said that day?"

Words of the day?Lu Zhishen found out the conversation with Lin Yuzhou that day from his messy mind.He couldn't figure out how a chivalrous person like Lin Yuzhou would do such a thing as pampering, raping and exploiting the common people.Rumors suddenly surfaced in his mind, Lu Zhishen changed his face, and asked: "Could it be true that the rumors are true, that the Emperor Daojun really fell into a coma for a month? Did he really see Bao Qingtian?"

The more Lu Zhishen thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth of the matter. Otherwise, if he couldn't explain the reason why the Taoist Emperor suddenly became better, he must have been fried in the hell oil pan to clean up all the turbidity on his body.

"Amitabha!" Lu Zhishen proclaimed the Buddha's name solemnly.

Yan Qing picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, he heard Lu Zhishen's words, he felt reasonable.At first, he thought that people who believed in the rumors in the market were fools, but now it seems that he is the one who is stupid, and there are still many people with discerning eyes.He picked up the tray and asked Ji Shengyan: "Can I still see Bao Qingtian after I die?" When he said this, he looked like a fan of Bao Zheng.

Ji Shengyan twitched the corners of his mouth, isn't it good to live?

Lu Zhishen sat on the chair dumbfounded. Although he had only met Lin Yuzhou once, he was deeply impressed. He did not trust the imperial court, but he believed in brothers. Now that the Taoist emperor has really changed, he is willing to give it a try. Anyway, where is the world? They are all families. If the court really gets better, the people of Song Dynasty will be blessed.

"Brother Junyi, if Yuzhou... the Emperor Daojun really decides to clean up the corrupt officials in the court, the Sa family is willing to follow."

"In that case, let's stay tonight and go to Tokyo together tomorrow." Ji Shengyan asked Yan Qing to prepare a guest room for Lu Zhishen.

After Lu Zhishen and Yan Qing left, Lu Junyong walked into the room. He looked at Ji Shengyan and asked, "Emperor Daojun's situation is the same as mine?"

"Ah."

Lu Junyong asked again: "Is the real soul of Emperor Daojun going to hell?"

Ji Shengyan looked up at Lu Junyong: "You really want him to go to hell?"

Lu Junyong sat on the chair Lu Zhishen was sitting on. Just as he was about to lean back, he found that the back of the chair was broken. He changed another chair, "Shouldn't a fool like him go to hell? I'm just worried that if his soul is still alive, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"You think too much." Ji Shengyan changed the subject: "Has Lu Zhishen's case in Weizhou been dismissed?"

Lu Junyong nodded, "Brother Lu Da is good at everything, but he was too impulsive. Although Zheng Tu deserved his death, he won't take advantage of beating him to death in public. It took a lot of effort to clear Brother Lu Da's record. Zheng Tu His daughter-in-law has remarried, and his family has made arrangements not to pursue any further lawsuits."

Ji Shengyan pinched his brows. Many characters in the original novel of the Water Margin were tainted, and there were quite a few murderers. He needed to know which ones could be used and which ones must be killed. After returning to Tokyo, he had to discuss the regulations with Lin Yuzhou.

On the twentieth day of the first month, Ji Shengyan's version of Lu Junyi officially became the Grand Commander of the Palace Commander's Mansion. Before that, Yan Qing entrusted Li Shishi to the care of Lu Junyong's wife, Jia Shi, and joined the Forbidden Army himself, preparing to make contributions.Lu Junyong originally wanted to go with him, but was rejected by Ji Shengyan on the grounds that the Lu family business needs someone to manage and inherit it.

Before Ji Shengyan took the position of Taiwei, Lin Yuzhou sent someone to find Wang Jin back.Not long after Wang Jin returned to Tokyo, Shi Jin, who received Lu Zhishen's letter, also rushed to Tokyo. The two masters and apprentices were also moved after meeting.

When Lin Yuzhou returned to his study, the information about Wang Jin and Shi Jin was placed in front of his desk, which was discovered by Tong Cheng.Lin Yuzhou gave Tong Cheng the right, and he offered his loyalty. He did much better than his adoptive father.

After reading the profiles of the master and apprentice, Lin Yuzhou valued Wang Jin more.This man was also the head of the Imperial Army, and he once beat Gao Qiu. After Gao Qiu gained power, in order to prevent the other party from retaliation, he fled Tokyo with his family and went to the old-fashioned manager of Yan'an Prefecture. After receiving the imperial edict, he had no worries , he returned with his family.Wang Jin has a quick mind and knows how to be flexible. He has a bottom line in doing things and is very capable. He is a talent that can be created.

As for Shi Jin, in Lin Yuzhou's opinion, he still needs to go through the trials and tribulations.Shi Jin is capable and straightforward, but his lack of opinion on things is his biggest flaw. If he can't overcome this, his achievements will be limited after all.

After putting down the information of these two people, Lin Yuzhou asked Tong Cheng: "I heard that Yang Jian has been bothering you in recent days?"

Tong Cheng lowered his head and smiled and replied, "It's all trivial things, I'm afraid it will stain the emperor's ears if I talk about it."

Lin Yuzhou chuckled, just as he thought, there were also fights among the eunuchs, and this fight was much more equal than before.Yang Jian began to be afraid of Tong Cheng, and Tong Cheng was eager to get rid of Tong Guan's control, and Tong Guan was on guard against Yang Jian, letting them restrain each other, which is the best situation at present.

"Forget it, you keep an eye on the Palace Marshal's Mansion. After Lu Junyi takes over the post, let him enter the palace immediately."

Tong Cheng bowed and said, "Yes!"

Lin Yuzhou waved Tong Cheng back. He is very busy now and needs to combine the content of Wang Anshi's reform with the national conditions of the Song Dynasty. In the current situation, the Song Dynasty must change, but how to do it still needs to be considered. find a way out.
