Chapter 86 The Water Margin 1 Breakthrough (9)

At the beginning of April, after nearly three months of investigation, the case of Cai Jing’s embezzlement of Mexican military pay was finally cleared up. In addition to falsely reporting the number of banned soldiers and embezzlement of Mexican military pay, there were more than a dozen other crimes, large and small, involving as many as a hundred people. Get caught.

The atmosphere in the Chuigong Hall was extremely tense. Three guillotines exuding a bloody smell were placed in the middle of the hall. The less courageous officials trembled when they saw the three guillotines that belonged to Duke Bao.

Under the erosion of the years, the three guillotines have rusted, but even so, their prestige has not been damaged.Dog-headed guillotine, tiger-headed guillotine, and dragon-headed guillotine, from the royal relatives to the peddlers, how many heinous people did Bao Gong kill with them?In the case of Cai Jing, the Emperor Daojun invited them out, and the purpose was obvious.

Lin Yuzhou stood up from the dragon chair, and he walked along the steps to the center of the hall step by step. As he approached, the three guillotines vibrated, and the sound of tigers roaring and dogs barking could be faintly heard.

When Lin Yuzhou stood in front of the three guillotines, the courtiers seemed to see the phantom of a golden dragon soaring from him.After the Golden Dragon passed, the three guillotines stopped vibrating, and the rust on the guillotines fell off one by one, revealing the true face inside.

A cold and gloomy aura came out from the guillotine, and the officials who were a little closer were startled by the terrifying aura and backed away again and again, looking at Lin Yuzhou with horror, thinking in their hearts that this is the real dragon. gas?

Lin Yuzhou glanced at the courtiers all over the hall, and finally set his sights on Ji Shengyan, "Taiwei, do you dare to inherit the legacy of Duke Bao?"

Ji Shengyan came out, and he walked in front of Lin Yuzhou step by step. The cold aura emanating from his body perfectly matched the three guillotines, as if they were supposed to be one.Standing still in front of Lin Yuzhou, Ji Shengyan said: "I dare you."

"Okay!" Lin Yuzhou laughed, he turned back to the dragon chair, and said loudly: "The ten wicked people, murderers, and officials who are dirty will not be forgiven. This decree originated from Emperor Taizong. From now on, this decree will never be changed. Daddy Song Zimin has to follow!"

"Emperor Shengming!"

"Cai Jing's case has been concluded, and everyone should be judged according to the laws of the Song Dynasty. Those who dare to bend the law for personal gain will be punished with the same crime."

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Now I will pass on the dragon-headed guillotine, tiger-headed guillotine, and dog-headed guillotine to Taiwei Lu. I hope you will inherit the ambition of Duke Bao. The guillotine is at your side. If I come in person, you can cut it first and then play it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

The sun was gradually rising, and the bright sunshine shone into the Chuigong Hall, adding a vitality to the gloomy hall, and it seemed to herald that the long-standing court situation of Shen Ke in the Song Dynasty was about to usher in the real Qingming.

After the verdict of Cai Jing and his henchmen came out, the city of Tokyo became a sensation, and the Longteng Tower was surrounded by the people, and everyone rushed to hear the latest works of the writer.

Before the verdict came out, the Cai party counterattacked, and the court was in turmoil for some time.In those days, the people of Song Dynasty lived like years, praying day and night for the safety of their family and country.

Just when everyone was anxious, Emperor Daojun comforted the hearts of everyone with an edict of guilt. Afterwards, the Taiwei of the Palace Commander's Mansion sent troops overnight to capture Tongguan, eliminating the counterattack of Cai's party. This made the people of the Song Dynasty clearly understand Seeing the strength of the imperial army, I also learned about the emperor's heart to clean up the filth of the imperial court.

In order to hear the latest news, Chen San came out early in the morning, but after being pushed around by people again, he gave up.Stamping his feet on the spot, Chen San raised his head and glanced at the Longteng Building. There is no need to think about it here, there is probably no place for the five lecture platforms.Facing the black head, he could only walk home sullenly.

Pushing open the door, Chen San saw his younger brother punching in the yard, he sighed, pushed open the door, ran to the bed and lay down.

When Chen Da was punching, he saw his elder brother's sullen face. After punching, he pushed open the door of Chen San's room, stood at the door and asked, "Brother, didn't you go to see the verdict of Cai Jing? Are you so frustrated? But that Lu Junyi took bribes and broke the law to cover Cai Jing?"

"What are you doing nonsense? Those people were judged according to the law, and no one was favoritism! It's just that there are too many people in the Longteng Building today, and we can't hear Luo Sheng's storytelling. It may not be possible to squeeze in these few days."

"This little thing deserves your bed? Why is it so difficult? I'll clear the way for you tomorrow, and I'll take care of it for you to walk into Longteng Tower."

Chen San sighed again, he lay on the bed and looked at Chen Da, "Didn't you say that you came to Beijing to seek refuge with your friends? Who is your friend? Why haven't I heard from you? And those two friends who came with you What? How do I feel that they are not good people?"

"My two brothers went to the Forbidden Army to sign up. There is an assessment today. They went early in the morning, and I also signed up, but my assessment is tomorrow." Speaking of this, Chen Da felt emotional. Now that he wants to enter the Forbidden Army, it depends on his connections. If it doesn't work, I don't have any skills, and I can't even pass the first level.He also heard that the Forbidden Army has added more than 300 regulations, and everyone must abide by them. Those who disobey the regulations will be expelled from the Forbidden Army, and may even lose their heads. But even so, there are still many people who come to Tokyo City to sign up.

Chen San turned over and sat up, and said: "If you can really enter the Forbidden Army, you will be honored by your ancestors. It doesn't matter if you can't. I heard that the Taiwei's Mansion is recruiting young men. You can try it."

Chen Da twitched his lips. If it wasn't for his own brother, he would have punched him to death.After coming to Tokyo, if his righteous brother Zhu Wu hadn't insisted on investigating Lu Junyi to see if he was really a good official, they would have been members of the Imperial Army long ago, and they might even be able to beat the eunuch Tong Guan.What a waste of this good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Thinking of this, Chen Da became depressed. Just as he was about to go out to find a place to drink, he heard his brother Chen San shout: "A couple moved in opposite. The man is very short and he sells cooking cakes. The cakes are good, bring me two when you come back."

Chen Da took a deep breath and told himself that this is his own brother, he can't do anything, he can't do anything!After muttering a few words, he opened the door and left.

After Ji Shengyan took office, while rectifying the imperial army, he investigated Cai Jing. When the case of Cai Jing was settled, the imperial army had also been rectified.

There are more than 30 forbidden troops in active service, and after more than three months of screening, nearly 5 people have been abolished.Most of the 5 are physically unable to keep up with the training, and a few are bad.The banned soldiers who were disbanded due to physical reasons all received a good amount of retirement compensation, and those banned soldiers with bad records were all imprisoned, and they must be severely punished.

In order to make up for the [-] shortfall, Ji Shengyan wrote a recruiting brochure, targeting the entire Song Dynasty people, so the city of Tokyo became extremely lively during this period.

Chen Da strolled towards the Longteng Building, he thought Chen San's words were exaggerated, but when he saw the situation outside the Longteng Building with his own eyes, he realized that what Chen San said was very to the point.With this posture, if he doesn't use force, he won't be able to open his way, but if force is used, he may be opened.

"Hey, Chen..."

Someone grabbed his shoulder suddenly, Chen Da had a conditioned reflex, and wanted to throw him out with a push of his shoulder.

"Second Brother Chen, what are you doing?" Shi Jin's hand on Chen Da's shoulder increased his strength, preventing him from accomplishing his plan to throw him.

"Brother Shi Jin?" Chen Da turned around and laughed when he saw Shi Jin. He hammered Shi Jin's chest: "Aren't you staying in the Imperial Army? Why are you here?"

Shi Jin glanced at the direction of Longteng Building, pulled Chen Da's arm and said, "Go, there are too many people here, I'll treat you to a different place, let's talk while eating."

They found a tavern with few people, Shi Jin ordered five catties of beef, and Chen Da ordered several jugs of wine.

After taking a few sips from the wine jar, Chen Da asked in confusion, "Brother, why don't you drink?"

Shi Jin ate two bites of beef, and after hearing Chen Da's question, he replied: "You can't drink alcohol while on duty, otherwise you will be dealt with by military law."

Chen Da put down the wine jar, it was the first time he heard that soldiers were not allowed to drink.

Seeing his doubts, Shi Jin said: "Second Brother Chen, don't worry, you are only allowed to drink during duty and during training, but you can feel free during other times."

Chen Da felt relieved, and asked, "What's your situation? No more training?"

Shi Jin looked arrogant: "After the former governor of Kaifeng Mansion Lou Qiong was arrested, the new governor is Mr. Zeng Yuzeng. The imperial army recruits people, and experts from all over the world gather here. How can the Kaifeng mansion be such a good man?" The opponents of these people? Master Zeng asked the officials, who asked us to help Kaifeng Mansion maintain order in Tokyo City for the time being."

Chen Da nodded, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

"There are many capable people in Tokyo now. I heard that Kaifeng Mansion is recruiting Yamen servants. Mr. Zeng is also planning to recruit a team of 'Dynasty Ma Han, Zhao Long Zhao Hu'." Shi Jin's words had a feeling of contempt for him. Speaking of today's forbidden army is the best place for heroes, what future is there to be a small official in the government office?

When Chen Da heard this, his heart was moved, the lintel of Kaifeng Mansion was no lower than that of the Imperial Army.

Kaifeng Mansion, which was "scorned" by Shi Jin, is welcoming the most powerful person in Song Dynasty.

After Lin Yuzhou took Zhao Huan into the most famous government office in Tokyo, he immediately felt the weight of history.

"Are you using the power of the imperial army to recruit people?" Lin Yuzhou asked Zeng Yu with a smile when he walked to the study behind the government office.

Zeng Yu smiled wryly: "After Lou Qiong was arrested, his minions in the Kaifeng mansion were also arrested. There is really a shortage of people at the moment, and I don't compete with Taiwei Lu, I just give a chance to those who can't pass the selection of the imperial army. "

Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows. What Zeng Yu said was dishonest. He is not a person who likes to eat leftovers.However, he will not interfere with the opponent's methods, and it is also a skill to snatch people from Ji Shengyan's hands.

"How is old Mr. Zeng?" Lin Yuzhou changed the subject, he was talking about Zeng Yu's father, Zeng Bu.

Zeng Yu replied with a smile: "The government specially sent an imperial doctor to treat my father. His health has improved a lot, and he will be able to come to Beijing after a few more days of recuperation."

Lin Yuzhou nodded: "Your body is still important, so don't worry about it. In June, I will add Enke. Is there anyone in the Zeng family?"

Zeng Yu answered truthfully: "There are quite a few courtiers and nephews, and many of them have ended up in this department."

Hearing this, Lin Yuzhou nodded with satisfaction. The Zeng family is a family that has been multiplied by capable people. The Nanfeng Seven Zengs in history did not have a vain reputation.Zeng Gong, the head of the Seven Zengs, was one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Unfortunately, he passed away many years ago, otherwise Lin Yuzhou really wanted to pay a visit to this prose master.

After seeing Lin Yuzhou sitting down in the study, Zeng Yan's face became serious, and he bowed and asked: "The official recently proposed to let the ministers analyze the pros and cons of the new law, and the court will discuss it tomorrow. The humble minister dared to ask, but the official wants to implement the new law in an all-round way? "

Seeing that Zeng Yu changed the topic to political affairs, Lin Yuzhou said, "Do you think the new law can be fully implemented?"

How did Zeng Hao respond to these words?During the reign of Shenzong, some achievements were indeed achieved after the introduction of the new law, but it also caused a lot of confusion.After Shenzong, the new law and the old law intertwined, and the new law party and the old law party attacked each other. Many new law parties did not want to use the law to change the situation in the Song Dynasty, but like Cai Jing, under the banner of introducing the new law, to consolidate their position. Gain benefits.

Unlike his father, Zeng Bu, Zeng Yu is not a supporter of the new law, and of course he is not opposed to changes, but changes are often accompanied by more unpredictable risks, so he is very hesitant when faced with Lin Yuzhou's problem.

"Don't worry, let's talk about the pros and cons of the new law first." Lin Yuzhou had an inexplicable look in his eyes.Regarding the reform of the Song Dynasty, he discussed with Ji Shengyan for a long time and finally came up with a rough plan, but he forcefully imposed their ideas on the courtiers, which only caused the opponents to rebound. It is better to slowly guide the opponents to achieve the results they want. .

What Lin Yuzhou is doing now is guiding. Although it will take some time, it is the most peaceful and safest way to do so.

The Song Dynasty is not a Song Dynasty of one person. It guides the officials to fully understand the national conditions of the Song Dynasty, and then guides them to make the most reasonable plan, so that the new law will become their common and proudest masterpiece.Any reform measures in the future will be the result of discussions by the entire court. Lin Yuzhou needs the cohesion of the court and the people of the Song Dynasty to agree with the new law.
