Northern Song Dynasty: I became Zhao Ji Chapter 92: Now that we are getting rid of the traitorous minister, we will definitely destroy our relatives with justice.
Chapter 92: Now that we are getting rid of the traitorous minister, we will definitely destroy our relatives with justice.
Facing the suddenly powerful Zhao Guan family, Liang Shicheng could only express his complaints silently in his heart, but on the surface he looked like he was following the Zhao Guan family's lead.
"The old slave is willing to donate more private wealth to the official family and to the treasury of the Song Dynasty.
However, the old slave’s wealth in the capital is only 120,000 to 30,000 yuan!”
Zhao Ji straightened his face, looked at Liang Shicheng coldly, and said: "I know that Liang Daguan once bought a lot of land and houses outside the capital, and he collected a lot of land rent every year!"
Liang Shicheng immediately knelt down and said: "The official is a sage!
The old slave is really old and confused. If it weren't for the official reminder, the old slave would have really forgotten that when he was the observer of Jinzhou in the early years, he bought several private houses and hundreds of acres of thin farmland in Jinzhou. p>
Now, all the princes in Beijing have donated part of their wealth to the national treasury, so I can’t be stingy anymore.
The old slave is willing to donate money to the country. After buying the land and house in Jinzhou, the money obtained plus the old slave's entire net worth in Beijing should be able to collect 400,000 guan.
The old slave is willing to donate 400,000 guan to raise a total of 1 million guan for our Song Dynasty treasury."
Zhao Ji praised: "I am very pleased that Mr. Liang is so generous and generous!"
Liang Shicheng lost most of his family property and really had a toothache...
He secretly compared it with Lin Lingsu, the demon who was beheaded at noon. Fortunately, he only lost most of his wealth in exchange for peace, which was much better than Lin Lingsu who lost both his life and wealth.
After Liang Shicheng kowtowed, he said again:
"I beg the official family, out of the affection that the old slave has been with the official family for many years, to forgive the old slave for his previous crime of privately purchasing a land and house.
The old slave is willing to retire and become an official."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Ji laughed and said: "Grandmaster Liang is my 'minister of the thighs'. He is healthy and strong. How can he retire and become an official without assisting me?
I will entrust you with important responsibilities now!"
Liang Shicheng felt bad again.
Based on his scheming, he vaguely guessed that the Zhao Guan family might have to hand over another thankless job such as supervising and interrogating the demon Dao Lin Lingsu.
Liang Shicheng thought to himself: Does the government want our family to supervise the trial?
Zhao Jidao: "Liang Daguan received my imperial edict and went to Dali Temple to supervise the trial of Gao Qiu and Wang Fu."
Whatever Liang Shicheng is afraid of, he will do whatever he wants.
He took the initiative and said:
"Old slave obeys the order and thanks the Lord for his kindness!"
Zhao Ji did not forget to remind him: "I have always known that Wang Fu treated you as a father and respectfully called you 'Mr. Enfu'.
Liang Daguan also had a very secret personal relationship with Wang Fu. Your two mansions are adjacent to each other, and they even had an affair in the backyard!"
With a "plop", Liang Shicheng was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Zhao Ji again.
He knew that Chao Yan had explicitly prohibited liaisons between officials and eunuchs in the palace.
This is to prevent the emperor's private likes and dislikes from being revealed; and to prevent eunuchs from interfering in government affairs after the palace eunuchs have an affair with current officials; of course, more importantly, it is for the emperor's personal safety.
Liang Shicheng's voice trembled and he said:
"The old slave and Wang Fu's families are connected by a private door in the backyard. It was the private door that the criminal Wang Fu used to have an affair with his servants behind the old slave's back..."
Before Liang Shicheng finished explaining, Zhao Ji interrupted him and said:
"I will not pursue this matter any further!
What I would like to remind Mr. Liang is that there is an old saying that says, ‘When you promote a virtuous person, you should not avoid relatives’.
However,
Now we will get rid of the traitorous ministers,
We must destroy our relatives with justice!"
Liang Shicheng kowtowed and said: "Old slave, please remember the official teaching: 'To get rid of the treacherous ministers, we must destroy the relatives with justice!'"
"Very good!" Zhao Ji praised, saying: "Liang Daguan is indeed my confidant and knows my thoughts well.
My dear, go to Dali Temple quickly and interrogate the guilty ministers Wang Fu and Gao Qiu!"
"Old slave obeys the order..."
Liang Shicheng resigned. He had deeply understood the holy will - the trial of the guilty ministers Wang Fu and Gao Qiu must also be like the demon Dao Lin Lingsu, who killed them quickly.
Liang Shicheng was walking on the corridor in the palace, and he was really puzzled:
Two days ago, our family and the young prime minister Wang Fu accompanied Zhao Guan's family by jumping out of the palace wall, leaving the palace incognito, wandering around the Fan Tower at night, and having a tryst with the oiran, and had a great time...
However, it has only been two days now, why has the Zhao Guan family's temperament changed so much as if they were a different person? First, put Lin Lingsu, the most trusted Taoist priest, in prison, and after trial, kill him.
Now, the Zhao Guan family is going to kill Wang Fu and Taiwei Gao, two important officials in the dynasty again!
"Alas! Alas!" Liang Shicheng looked up at the sky and sighed.
However, he still has to obediently complete the errands assigned by Zhao Guan's family...
……
After Liang Shicheng left the palace, Zhao Ji also drove out of the palace.
Zhao Ji is going to Moutuogang, northwest of Tokyo's Bianliang Outer City, to inspect the military horses raised at the Forbidden Army's breeding facility in the capital and how they are being raised.
This time, when the emperor was traveling, Zhao Ji had specifically given instructions in advance not to make the show too grand, and never to use the [Big Driving Book].
Zhao Ji knew that in the Northern Song Dynasty, the [Dajialu Book] was needed only for the emperor's southern suburbs to worship the sky. The ceremony was extremely grand, and there were 26,061 people accompanying him.
For this trip, Zhao Ji ordered that the ceremonial guard of "Xiao Jia Lu Bu" should be used, and that he would be escorted by 600 imperial city officials (soldiers).
What Zhao Ji is thinking about is not the issue of travel noise, the focus is to ensure a safe journey after leaving Bianliang Outer City...
…………
[ps: According to the etiquette system, the emperor’s ceremonial guard when traveling was extremely grand, which was called the "car driving book", and was divided into three types: the big driving book, the law frame book, and the small frame book.
"Lu" is the same as "橹", which means large shield; "Book" means book.
The original intention of establishing the Lubo ceremonial guard was to protect the safety of the emperor.
Later, with the expansion of the scale of the ceremonial guard and the development of the etiquette system, the protective function of the chariot and ceremonial book was weakened, and the ceremonial function of declaring the royal majesty and the emperor's nobility became prominent.
Among them, the Dajia Lu Book has the highest specifications and the largest scale. Generally speaking, the Dajia Lun Book is only needed for the emperor’s southern suburbs to worship the sky.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the ceremonial ceremony of the great chariots was particularly grand. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, "Song Shou ordered the bran books, which were listed in the ten volumes of "Illustrations" and were ordered to be used in the secret pavilion. For every great chariot, 26,000 people were used." p>
In fact, the emperors of the Song Dynasty often simplified the etiquette when traveling.]
