Chapter 199 I demoted the ministers who were beggars to Jin and the surrender faction.
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 with cold eyes at Wang Xiaodi, the Minister of Civil Affairs and a former Jinshi, who was kneeling in the main hall.
The time traveler Zhao Ji knows that the current Wang Xiaodi has not discovered too many crimes, but when he is in the Jingkang disaster in the future, according to the records in the history books:
At that time, Wang Xiaodi, who was Zhongshu Ling, worked very hard to search for the gold and silver belongings of officials and common people in Bianliang City, Tokyo. He also wrote in his own handwriting that officials, merchants and civilians in the capital must hand over all their family wealth as filial piety.
Jin Jun’s article:
"If the property belonging to the common people is not like this, the Jin army will kill all the men in the capital, capture all the women, burn all the palaces, and take away all the gold and silver..."
In this way, gold and silver items can be raised as soon as possible to satisfy the Jin Army.
People at that time called Wang Xiaodi the "Four Complete Books".
Later, in the third year of Jianyan, Wang Xiaodi actually returned to his post and was sent as envoy to the Kingdom of Jin...
Wang Xiaodi was one of the important ministers of Jin Qihe's capitulation faction.
Zhao Ji asked coldly: "Wang Shangshu, can you plead guilty? Should you let Chen Yaban of the Imperial City Department reveal your crime, or should you plead guilty yourself?"
"The humble minister Xiao Di knows his crime, please ask the official for mercy!"
Because Wang Xiaodi had seen Zhao Ye's sophistry and conspiring with Li Bangyan exposed by Zhao Guan's family, he aroused the wrath of the emperor and exiled Zhao Ye to the barbaric land in the south.
Therefore, Wang Xiaodi was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly and took the initiative to confess the two secrets that Li Bangyan had entrusted to him:
The first thing is to wait until Zhao Guan's family's imperial commander returns to Beijing in person, and ask Wang Xiaodi to go to the official family to ask the officials to punish the serious crimes of Chen Dong, the imperial student who made trouble before;
The second thing is to ask Wang Xiaodi to recommend Li Bangyan to return to the position of Minister Youyoucheng...
After Zhao Ji listened to Wang Xiaodi's self-reported crime, he asked Chen Zhong, the detective in charge of the Imperial City Department:
"Is what Wang Xiaodi said true?"
Chen Zhong knelt down and said: "What you said is true, but what's more, Wang Shangshu agreed to what Shangshu Youcheng Li Bangyan asked for. The two of them agreed to help each other in the court from now on!"
Zhao Ji angrily pointed at Wang Xiaodi and said: "It is against my will to form cliques. I hope you can take the initiative to confess your crimes, so I will give you a lighter sentence. I will remove the guilty minister Wang Xiaodi from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and demote him to Guangnan West Road Hengzhou as deputy regimental training officer."
make."
"The guilty minister Xiaodi, thank you for your kindness." Although Wang Xiaodi had to express his gratitude, he knew in his heart that being demoted from the official position to the deputy envoy of regiment training was equivalent to falling from the peak to the bottom.
Guangnan West Road, Hengzhou, which was demoted to the land of Lingnan, is extremely remote and backward. It is far away from the capital and thousands of mountains and rivers away. Along the way, you have to travel alternately by water and land. There are countless dangers on the road. Can you reach the demoted place alive?
Hengzhou is an unknown!
Zhao Ji waved his hand and said: "Wang Xiaodi will leave Beijing today and go to Hengzhou, where he was demoted to take office."
"The guilty minister Xiao Di obeyed the decree and thanked the Lord for his kindness..."
Wang Xiaodi looked sad and staggered out of the hall...
Zhao Ji pointed at Kaifeng Prefect Cai Mao, who was kneeling in the main hall and shivering, and asked sharply:
"Cai Mao, do you know the crime?"
"Chen Mao, I am guilty! I beg the officials to see that Wei Chen's father and father-in-law dedicated themselves to the Song Dynasty, and forgive Wei Chen for being confused and believing the words of the guilty minister Li Bangyan!
Woo woo woo...
I am ashamed of the importance of the official family! I am ashamed of the teachings of my late father...
Wuwuwu..."
When Zhao Ji saw Cai Mao, the governor of Kaifeng, who was in his forties, he burst into tears while talking.
"Alas!" Zhao Ji sighed in his heart: "The tiger father also has dogs! After Zhongliang, there may be a minister like Cai Mao who begs for peace and surrenders!"
Zhao Ji knew that Cai Mao's father was Cai Que, the minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the fifth year of Yuanfeng reign of Emperor Shenzong, Cai Que was worshiped by the right servant of Shangshu and served as the minister of Zhongshu. He was one of Wang Anshi's main supporters and powerful assistants during his political reform.
At the beginning of Zhezong's accession to the throne, Cai Que was transferred to Zuopushe (i.e. Zuo Prime Minister) and also served as a minister. In the second month of the first year of Yuanyou, Cai Que was dismissed as a bachelor of Guanwen Palace and knew Chenzhou. In the second year of Yuanyou, Cai Que was
His younger brother Cai Shuo was implicated in taking bribes and was deprived of his official position. He was transferred to Anzhou and then to Dengzhou. Cai Que was eventually demoted to Yingzhou Biejia because of his poem "You Car Covering Pavilion", which ridiculed the court. In the end, Cai Que died of illness.
In Yingzhou.
However, Cai Mao, the son of Zhongliang Cai Que, was a treacherous official.
Cai Mao was also the son-in-law of Feng Jing, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Cai Mao entered the official career for the first time, unlike other civil servants who passed the imperial examination. He cried, cried, cried to find a bright career path.
In the first year of Shaosheng (AD 1094), Cai Mao's father-in-law Feng Jing died of illness. At that time, Song Zhezong (that is, the emperor brother of Song Huizong, Zhao Ji's original owner) came to pay tribute to Feng Jing. Cai Mao cried loudly to Song Zhezong,
I cried and mourned the loss of my father-in-law, Mr. Taishan, and the imperial court lost a wise minister...
At that time, the young Song Zhezong was moved by Cai Maozhi's crying...
Cai Mao burst into tears again and complained to Zhezong about the injustice of his late father, saying that his father should not have been implicated and demoted because of his uncle's guilt. Finally, because his father wrote a poem, he was punished by someone with ill intentions.
Convicted of another felony after misinterpretation...
Cai Mao's third cry to Song Zhezong was to cry out that his situation was very miserable, because of his father's sin, he had been studying sages' books for nearly twenty years in vain, but because of his father's sin, he participated in the Guan Bao Friendship Competition.
No more qualifications...
The young Zhezong of the Song Dynasty was not as scheming as Cai Mao, so he was moved and announced on the spot that Cai Maoyin would replace the official and be appointed as the supervisor of the Shaofu.
Cai Mao, who cried to Zhe Zong that he was a loyal and good man, embarked on an official career.
During the Huizong Dynasty of the Song Dynasty, when Cai Jing was appointed as Prime Minister and wielded great power, Cai Mao went out of his way to flatter Cai Jing's brothers and his son. He became the confidant of Cai Jing, the treacherous prime minister, and was recommended as the governor of Kaifeng.
After Cai Jing's fall, Cai Mao was the first to jump out and accuse Cai Jing of various shortcomings when he was in power...
Cai Mao was also very good at making friends with powerful people in the court. For example, he had good friendships with Liang Shicheng and Li Bangyan.
What displeases the traveler Zhao Ji the most is that Cai Mao, recorded in the history books, moved to Tongzhi Privy Council in the last years of Xuanhe. In the first year of Jingkang, he became Minister Zuocheng. At that time, Jin soldiers surrounded the capital, and Cai Maoxin of the peace begging faction
Save 'depend on'.
The most obedient and dependent is the one who obeys the intention of disobedience.
In other words, in history, when the powerful Jin army attacked the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Cai Mao, a minister of the Song Dynasty, relied on the Jin army to become domineering...
Zhao Ji looked very unhappy when he saw Cai Mao, the minister of the Jin army begging for peace and surrender.
Under the premise that Zhao Guan's family has sufficient evidence, Cai Mao still wants to make excuses...
"Bah!" Zhao Ji slapped the dragon case and said angrily: "Li Bangyan and Cai Maola formed a gang and went against my will. The crime is unforgivable..."
