Chapter 198 I exiled the garbage minister who resisted the gold and abandoned the city to escape.
Chapter 198, I exiled the garbage minister who resisted the gold and abandoned the city to escape.
Zhao Jige went to Bai Shizhong and was demoted to Huangzhou and served as deputy envoy of Tuanlian.
The position of deputy envoy of regiment training in Huangzhou is quite humble. Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou and became the deputy envoy of regiment training.
He then looked at Zhao Ye, Minister of Punishment, who was kneeling in the main hall.
This Zhao Ye is in his forties, a native of Kaifeng, and was promoted to Jinshi in the second year of Zhenghe. He has successively served as the supervisory censor, the imperial censor, the imperial minister and the prince's minister, and the minister of the middle school.
Da Sicheng. Now, he has long been worshiped as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
Zhao Ji looked at the gentle Zhao Ye, but knew in his heart that the Zhao Ye in history was a two-faced man in playing power. When he was in charge of one side, his ability was very rubbish. When facing the Jin army's siege,
, he abandoned the city and fled...
Zhao Ji recalled that before time travel, the record of Zhao Ye in the history books was:
'At that time, Cai Jing and Wang Fu were in charge of the government, and the established parties were squeezing each other, advancing and retreating. No one could have the best of both worlds. (Zhao) everyone in the wild had his heart, and Jing and Fu also treated him without doubt...
…'
In other words, Zhao Ye would fawn over anyone who had considerable power, and he could also become a confidant of the prime minister who was in power in the court.
No wonder Zhao Ye, who is only in his forties, has been promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, which is equivalent to a high-ranking official in later generations.
However, let’s look at Cao Fu, a Jinshi during the Yuanfu period. Because he was upright and would not curry favor with the powerful, he has now become a small sixth-grade supervisory censor (this is because I am planning to promote him and arrange for him to be the supervisory prime minister.
a small official with real power).
This rubbish minister, Zhao Ye, is allowed to curry favor with powerful people and govern one party, but cannot manage the army.
In the historical year of 1126 AD, in Daming Prefecture (southeast of Daming County in present-day Handan), which was at the center of the fight against the Jin Dynasty, Xu Churen, who had been relatively successful in the fight against the Jin Dynasty, was appointed as the governor of Daming Prefecture, the general manager of the North Road, and in charge of the victorious army.
But it was precisely because of Xu Churen's meritorious service in defending Damingfu when he first resisted the Jin army's march south. When the Jin army returned north for the first time, the imperial court commended Xu Churen, promoted Xu Churen's official position, and transferred him back to the capital.
This caused Daming Mansion to lose a good guard.
After Xu Churen left Daming Palace, his replacement was Cai Mao. He only served for a short time, and the court asked Zhao Ye, a courtier, to replace Cai Mao as the Yin of Daming Palace, the general manager of the North Road, and in charge of the victorious army.
Zhao Ye served as the Daming Yin from June of the first year of Jingkang to November of the first year of Jingkang. During his short period of more than five months in charge of the military administration of the Daming Mansion, there were two major chaos.
The chaos was caused by a rebellion by a part of the Victory Army in Daming Mansion...
The second chaos was the riot between King Qin’s army in Daming Mansion…
Moreover, Zhao Ye was appointed as the general manager of the northern capital, and after leading the army to aid the capital, he deliberately delayed his stay.
It can be seen that Zhao Ye only knows how to curry favor with the powerful, and his ability to manage military affairs is absolutely rubbish. He opens the door for rubbish - rubbish at home.
However, in the first year of Jianyan, the imperial court still placed Zhao Ye in charge of resettling Shaozhou, and later regained control of Mizhou.
When the Jin army went south, Zhao Ye abandoned Mizhou City and fled to save his own life. Later, he was chased by Du Yan from the military academy and killed Zhao Ye on the way to escape...
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji hated Zhao Ye and really deserved to be killed. However, at that time, Zhao Ye had already made a big mistake and caused great losses to the Song Dynasty's resistance to the Jin Dynasty before he was killed. Although the hatred could be relieved, the losses caused
great.
And as a time traveler who knows this history in advance, I must not let Zhao Ye, a waste of the anti-gold escape faction who can only curry favor with the powerful, hold an important position again.
Before Zhao Ji personally conquered Fangla, he had already relied on his historical foresight of the late Northern Song Dynasty to secretly arrange for important ministers from the surrender faction in the court who would beg for peace against the Jin army in the future, as well as the escape faction.
A secret agent of the Imperial City Division, or an informant induced by the Imperial City Division to be exposed through coercion and force.
The purpose is to find out the clues of these future criminals who will deceive the country and harm the people, so as to deal with them in advance and stop the losses in advance in the future war against gold.
Zhao Ji asked coldly: "Zhao Ye, Li Bangyan came to your house to visit, what did you two talk about?"
Zhao Ye, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, was so frightened that cold sweat had already wet the back of his clothes.
He didn't know if there were any spies from Sicheng in his house. He was hesitating...
However, Zhao Ji asked Chen Zhong, the escort in charge of the Imperial City Division's secret agent, to read out the collected evidence.
After Chen Zhong complied with the order, he unfolded the secret letter reported to him by the spy and read:
"I developed two servants in Zhao Ye's Mansion, the Minister of Punishment, into spies of the Imperial City Division, and discovered that after Li Bangyan, the Minister Youcheng, entered the Mansion of Zhao Shangshu, he began to complain about the official's treatment of him being beaten by the Imperial Academy.
grumble,
However, although Zhao Shangshu remained silent at that time, he nodded in agreement.
Finally, Shangshu Youcheng Li Bangyan implored Zhao Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, to wait until Zhao Guan's family returned to Beijing from the eastern expedition to Fangla, and asked him to name the officials of the DPRK and Central Government, and to report to the officials that Chen Dong, the imperial student who participated in the trouble, and others should be punished.
If he commits a serious crime, he will be recommended to Li Bangyan to return to the court and continue to serve as Minister Youcheng...
Li Bangyan promised Zhao Ye that after he regained the favor of the officials, he would recommend Yue Yue as prime minister...
At that time, Zhao Ye, the Minister of Punishment, smiled and agreed..."
Zhao Ji pointed at Zhao Ye and asked: "Are the reports reported by the Imperial City Secret Agent true?"
"This..." After Zhao Ye hesitated for a while, he remembered that Bai Shizhong, who had just been stubborn and defended to no avail, was instead charged with deceiving the emperor by Zhao Guan's family.
Under the conclusive evidence, Zhao Ye could only confess and cried:
"My minister, Zhao Ye, is aware of his guilt. The things reported by the Imperial City Secret Agent are all true.
However, Zhao Ye was just because Li Bangyan was my immediate superior, and he only pretended to agree to him..."
"Huh!" Zhao Ji snorted coldly, but the corners of his mouth curved up slightly and said:
"Zhao Ye, as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, you are not firm in your stance and engage in double-dealing. You are just a straw! How can you be worthy of the important responsibility of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments?"
"I, Zhao Ye, am aware of my crime. I sincerely ask the officials to forgive me for my crime..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Ji sneered and said in his heart: I want to find trouble and deal with you, a trashy fugitive minister who will abandon the city and escape during the war against the Jin Dynasty in the future.
I haven't found a suitable excuse yet,
You took the initiative to commit a crime, how could I let it go?
Zhao Ji then asked Chen Zhong, the supervisor of the Detective Department under the Imperial City Department:
"Apart from this, does Zhao Ye have any other evidence of guilt?"
Chen Zhong immediately replied: "After investigation by the secret agents of the Imperial City Department, Zhao Ye, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, took advantage of his power to commit corruption and accept bribes..."
Chen Zhong took out the evidence of Chen Zhong's crime collected by secret informants and read it out in front of Zhao Guan's family and all civil and military officials at the court meeting...
After Zhao Ji heard this, he said angrily: "The criminal Zhao Ye not only took bribes, but also formed a gang with Li Bangyan. Zhao Ye was exiled to Danzhou and will never be able to return to Beijing!"
With a "plop", Zhao Ye heard that he was being exiled to Danzhou by Zhao Guan's family. He was so frightened that he fainted to the ground.
Zhao Ji knew that the place where Danzhou was located was the Hai Nan Island he had not crossed before.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Danzhou was still an extremely barbaric place, and being exiled there was only a lesser crime than being executed.
Exile to Danzhou was almost equivalent to a death sentence.
Su Dongpo's last stop in life was to be demoted to the distant Danzhou.
Since ancient times, many officials who were exiled to Hainan died on the way thousands of miles away.
Even after arriving in Danzhou (Hai~nan), the chance of survival is still very slim.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the living conditions in Danzhou were extremely difficult. "There was no meat to eat, no medicine for illness, no room to live in, no friends to go out, no charcoal in winter, and no cold springs in summer..."
During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was difficult for the locals in Danzhou to eat the meat of animals such as pigs and sheep, so they used smoked rats and roasted bats for cooking. People also used salty beach water for drinking, which resulted in many local people getting sick all year round...
At this time, Zhao Ji ordered people to drag Zhao Ye, the criminal who fainted from fear, out of the hall...
Zhao Ji knew that in history, the reason why Zhao Ye did not dare to resist when the Jin army moved south and abandoned the city and fled was that he had no backbone and was greedy for life and afraid of death.
In order not to bear the charge of murdering scholar-bureaucrats, but also to win over scholar-bureaucrats all over the world to serve me, the country, and the people, I will not kill Zhao Ye, whose current crime is not fatal. I just want to exile you Zhao Ye to a place thousands of miles away.
Danzhou, a wild place, scared you to the point of fainting?!
It seems that with my knowledge of history, I did not misjudge the person!
Today's Danzhou is a little better than before.
At least after Su Dongpo was demoted to Danzhou, and in the last three years of his life, Su Dongpo taught the locals in Danzhou to dig wells and get water for drinking. Most of the locals no longer drank the salty beach water.
However, it is still difficult for Danzhou people to eat the meat of animals such as pigs and sheep, so they can only satisfy their cravings by cooking smoked rats and roasted bats...
After Zhao Ji took care of Zhao Ye, the rubbish minister who would abandon the city and flee in the future when he resisted the Jin Dynasty, he looked at Wang Xiaodi, the Minister of Personnel, who was kneeling in the hall with a cold and stern look...
