After saying that, Xie Daoqing said firmly: "Uncle, Daoqing will go with you on this trip. I will take good care of my uncle. Please be patient."
Xie Caibo shook his head and sighed: "Hey, you are so impulsive and so wise."
Xie Caibo also knew that what Xie Daoqing said was reasonable. At this time, he was demoted and it was irreversible. He only regretted that he was too impulsive.
Xie Caibo was demoted, but the impact of the new law was too great. How could the opposition stop there?
That night, a dark figure came to the door of Chen Guiyi's mansion. Taking advantage of the darkness, the dark figure dropped a baggage and left.
After dawn, the door of Chen Guiyi's house found the baggage, which was heavy and heavy in his hand.
Menzi was curious, so he opened the bag and saw that it was all paper money, money for the dead!
The housekeeper reported the matter to Chen Guiyi. Chen Guiyi knew that he had been warned, but he was still not afraid. He said: "Go ahead and tell the people that no one in the house is allowed to go out unless they have something to do. If you must go out, you need to have multiple people with you."
"Yes, my lord."
"Also, bring all the land deeds in the house."
"Ah?,,,Yes, my lord, sir, please wait a moment."
The housekeeper also knew about the new law. When he heard that Chen Guiyi wanted to get the land deed, he couldn't help but guess that Chen Guiyi wanted to hand over the excess land to the court as an example.
The housekeeper honestly said that he was not willing to do it, but as a servant, he did not dare to say more, so he agreed and went to do it.
Soon, the housekeeper brought over the land deed, and Chen Guiyi's wife also came. She said, "Husband, what are you going to do?"
Chen Guiyi did not hide anything and said: "Now the official family is going to implement the new law. As a political advisor, my husband is fully responsible for this matter. I must set an example and hand over the excess land to the court. Otherwise, how can we correct others and deal with them!"
Chen's wife felt sorry for the thousands of acres of farmland, and said with a look of pain on her face: "Husband, other people's families are getting richer as they become officials. Do we want to become poorer as we become officials? Dozens of people in the family, big and small, can all live on these fields.
ah."
Chen Guiyi did not hesitate at all and said sternly: "My husband is aware of Madam's difficulties, but with the emperor's destiny and the great righteousness in mind, I have no choice. If Madam does not support me, then you and I will separate and separate. If
I support my husband, and please don’t say too much, madam.”
Chen's wife was helpless and left with tears in her eyes.
Soon, the news spread that Chen Guiyi had handed over 6,000 acres of land from his family to the imperial court. Zhao Yun naturally admired Chen Guiyi very much and passed down an oral instruction, asking all officials in the imperial court to learn from Chen Guiyi.
However, the officials felt that the implementation of the new law seemed inevitable. In panic, they all went to the houses of familiar officials to discuss how to stop the new law.
In Funing Palace, Zhao Yun was discussing the new law with Chen Guiyi, when he saw Nie Chi, the bookkeeper in Zhengshi Hall, hastily delivering a memorial.
Nie Chi said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to read the memorial from the Imperial Censor, Chief Xu Shijun, regarding the new law."
"It's him?"
Zhao Yun was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xu Qingsou, the imperial censor Zhongcheng, to dare to take the initiative to report. Last time, Zhao Yun almost wanted to make him look good. Now that he had just dealt with Xie Caibo, he still dared to come.
"Bring it here."
Gao Shi took the memorial and handed it to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun opened it and looked at ten lines. After a quick glance, he was very angry.
In the memorial, Xu Qingsou said: "In the Song Dynasty, the officials were harmonious, the people were stable, and the country and the country were stable. Although there were civil strife from time to time, in no dynasties has the people been in chaos? Chen Guiyi implemented the new law, which appeared to benefit the people, but in fact he had ulterior motives. Minister
Observing that Chen Guiyi's appearance is similar to that of the Young Lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is very likely that he is the reincarnation of the Young Lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his true intention is to overthrow the Song Dynasty. Your Majesty, please be aware of this and depose him as soon as possible to prevent the country from overturning."
Zhao Yun was furious. He didn't expect that Xu Qingsou would actually bring up the theory of ghosts and gods, and attack Chen Guiyi like this. It was really full of nonsense.
Zhao Yun showed the memorial to Chen Guiyi, but Chen Guiyi did not dare. Zhao Yun indicated that it was okay, so Chen Guiyi took it and watched it carefully.
At first glance, Chen Guiyi was frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground to show his loyalty to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun smiled slightly, bent down, and personally helped Chen Guiyi up, saying: "The Qing family does not need to do this. I only believe that there are gods three feet above my head. As long as I have a clear conscience, I will deal with it calmly even if ghosts and gods face them."
Chen Guiyi felt relieved now. Thinking of Xu Qingsou's slander against him, he felt like a lump in his throat.
Angry in his heart, Chen Guiyi said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has seriously injured the minister for no reason and ruined the reputation of the minister. Please make the decision for the minister."
Zhao Yun naturally stood on Chen Guiyi's side, and was about to order someone to pass on the decree to punish him, when he saw Xiaohuangmen walking in and said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Censor, Cheng Xu, is here to see you."
"Oh, he still dares to come."
Zhao Yun became interested, "Xuan, let him wait in the main hall."
Soon, Zhao Yun met Xu Qingsou in the main hall of Funing Hall, and Chen Guiyi was also present.
When Xu Qingsou saw Chen Guiyi, his face was full of disgust, and he just wanted to kill Chen Guiyi with his eyes.
Zhao Yun looked directly at Xu Qingsou and said calmly: "I have read the memorial of Xu Qing's family, but I don't know why Xu Qing's family has such a prejudice against Chen Qing's family and actually regards it as the reincarnation of the young master of Zhou Dynasty. Do you have any idea?
in accordance with?"
The theory of ghosts and gods naturally has no basis, and because of this, it is neither right nor wrong to say that they are wrong. This has also become a common method used by many people.
Xu Qingsou calmly took out a portrait from his sleeves, raised his hands high, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the portrait of Chai Zongxun, the young master of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty, please take a look."
Zhao Yun raised his hand and motioned for Gao Shi to take it.
Gao Shi bowed, stepped forward, took the portrait, and then handed it to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun unfolded the portrait and saw that the person in the portrait was indeed somewhat similar to Chen Guiyi.
Zhao Yun ordered Gao Shi to show the portrait to Chen Guiyi.
When Chen Guiyi saw it, he was frightened and nervous. He immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the portrait is really a coincidence. There are tens of millions of people in the world and there are countless people with similar looks. How can we use this as an attack?"
Excuse?"
Although Chen Guiyi is trusted by Zhao Yun, after all, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. This sentence is not a joke, especially when it concerns the country, the country, and the country. Which king dares to be careless?
"snort."
Xu Qingsou snorted coldly and said loudly: "Chen Guiyi, now that the evidence is conclusive, you still dare to quibble. If you are not the reincarnation of the young master of the Zhou Dynasty, why did you come up with this law of farmland to households, with the intention of destroying the Song Dynasty!"
Chen Guiyi felt relieved when he heard what Xu Qingsou said. He said to himself, Xu Qingsou, Xu Qingsou, this law of farmland transfer to each household was thought up by the officials. How dare you say that the officials intend to corrupt the country? Now you are a god.
I can't save you.
Zhao Yun was indeed angry with Xu Qingsou, and the look in his eyes was already unkind.
