September has entered in a blink of an eye, and the weather has turned cold and the geese are flying south.
The relatives, friends and peers who came to attend the wedding have left Beijing one after another, which inevitably makes people feel a little disappointed. However, in Bianjing, a place of right and wrong, how can Chen Ke's life be monotonous?
He was impeached by the officials of Yushitai.
First, a supervisory censor named Zheng Ming accused his wedding of being extravagant and using rare items, which tarnished the image of a court official. He asked the court to punish him and transfer him to another county.
How dare Chen Ke be careless? He quickly went to the table to defend himself, saying that the wedding expenses were strictly in accordance with the etiquette and there was no violation of the rules. The only thing that seemed exaggerated was the wedding banquet. However, everyone knew that the person who hosted the wedding banquet was
The owner of Yipinlou, who has a mentor-disciple relationship with me, firstly expressed his gratitude to me for teaching him my profession in the past, and secondly, when he heard that the official family would also be here, he naturally wanted to do his best to express his gratitude to the official family for their decades of frivolous service and meager gifts.
, rest with the people, and let the people of the Song Dynasty live a good life. In addition, it also repays the officials for inscribing the name of the store.
The officials and princes had a very good impression of the "one-level banquet", and they didn't think there was anything wrong with a rich man like Chen Ke being too lavish. After looking at Chen Ke's list, they laughed it off.
However, what was unexpected was that this was just an introduction. Soon, many famous officials launched attacks one after another, and their weight became heavier and heavier.
Zuo Si Jian Zhou Xiaoping impeached Chen Ke for violating the imperial ban, colluding with businessmen, living a luxurious life and building construction projects, which had a very bad impact, and asked the imperial court to investigate strictly to set the record straight.
Fu Yaoyu, the supervisory censor, impeached Chen Ke for seducing the truth and denying the "Book of Secretaries". He despised the sages and committed heresy, so he should be punished by Fu Shaozhengmao...
Lu Jie, the imperial censor, impeached Chen Ke as the judge of the Royal Martial Arts Academy. He only showed up once, ignored the affairs of the academy, neglected his duties, and was derelict in his duties.
There was even a censor who impeached him. During his stay in Dali, he had an affair with the Princess of Dali and behaved inappropriately...
In more than ten days, impeachment flew like snowflakes onto the desk of the Central Publishing House. For a time, Chen Ke seemed to have lost his halo and became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat.
"That's what these officials are like. They turn a blind eye to your hard work, but they only find fault with you!" Zhao Zongji said angrily: "If you say this is not a conspiracy, I won't believe it even if you beat me to death!"
"Calm down," Chen Ke had recovered from the initial shock, and actually comforted Zhao Zongji: "If you want to accuse me, there is no need to hesitate. I am upright and not afraid of shadows. I just want the court to investigate thoroughly."
"I'm afraid the court won't investigate." Zhao Zongji said bitterly: "The political affairs hall has had a special discussion today. I heard that Mr. Han means that you have made great contributions. You have just gotten married. If you investigate at this time, no matter what the result is, it will be disastrous.
win people's hearts."
"Can he be so kind?" Chen Ke didn't believe it.
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhao Zongji spat, "So he proposed to let you serve as a local official first. First, you can avoid the limelight, and second, you can practice government affairs. It will come in handy in a few years."
"You're really good at talking." Chen Ke sneered, "But the fox's tail is still exposed."
"Yes." Zhao Zongji nodded and said, "Their purpose is to drive you out of the capital." After a pause, he said bitterly: "Leave me alone and helpless!"
"That's right, this move is obviously going to drain the fire." Chen Ke nodded and said: "I guess they are about to start. To be on the safe side, you have to get me, a dangerous person, away from you."
The scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty paid great attention to their "integrity". If they were impeached too many times, it meant that they were unpopular. Even if they were not wrong, they had to resign. Otherwise, they would be labeled as "lovers of power and position" and they would be punished.
Lin spurned.
"They will never succeed," Zhao Zongji gritted his teeth and said, "I will try my best."
"You can't fight." Chen Ke shook his head and said, "It's better if you don't fight. If you fight, you will be trapped too."
"I can't watch you being tricked by them and pretend like nothing happened!" Zhao Zongji said flatly.
"Don't worry, they can't drive me away." Chen Ke comforted him with a smile: "I have been on guard against this move for a long time."
"What's your clever move?" Zhao Zongji had greater confidence in Chen Ke than in himself.
"I have written a memorial. You can find someone and submit it in his name." Of course Chen Ke can find someone himself, but when getting along with others, especially with leaders, he must give the other person a chance to be kind from time to time. In this way
Only in this way can the other party feel at ease...this is what his little sister taught him.
Zhao Zongji took it, opened it, and immediately changed his expression, cursing: "Don't you think you were scolded badly enough?"
This is actually a piece of ammunition. The target of impeachment is Chen Ke. It is said that he has mediocre academic skills and is a middle-class person. Moreover, there is an ancestral system that officials are not allowed to win the first prize. Three years ago, there was no reason to be the top one. He was an official.
He was selected as the number one scholar because of favoritism. Then he listed the nepotism between Zhao Zhen and Chen Ke, blah blah blah... Finally, he expressed his righteousness and hoped that the officials would deprive him of the number one scholar, even if he could not be deprived.
He was deprived of his official position and transferred out of the capital to eliminate the negative influence and restore the fairness of the imperial examination.
"If there are too many lice, don't bite them." Chen Ke smiled and said, "What's more, this louse is used to fight poison with poison."
Zhao Zongji was a smart man. After thinking about it carefully, he understood. He stared at Chen Ke with wide eyes and said, "You are so bold!"
"It's just a last resort." Chen Ke sighed and said: "I would rather live in a local place for a few years, which is better than being a lowly person in the capital."
"That won't work. If you leave, I will catch you blind." Zhao Zongji said quickly.
In fact, Chen Ke's strategy was very simple, it was just to trick the emperor. Of course, such a bold thing is not something that ordinary people can think of and use. Chen Ke got the inspiration from Du Yuesheng, the gangster leader of later generations.
During the National Government's financial defense war, the second son of Jiang was ordered to go to Shanghai to "fight tigers". Once he arrived in Shanghai, Du Weiping, Du Yuesheng's son, was arrested, preparing to use Du Yuesheng's gangster to establish his power. Du Yuesheng appeared to be honest and guilty.
Apparently, someone secretly exposed Kong Xiangxi's son Kong Lingkan's speculation.
Of the three sisters of the Song family, only Soong Ailing had two boys and two girls. Kong Lingkan was her eldest son, so he had always been favored by Soong Meiling. As a result, Jiang Jingguo was forced to release him due to pressure from Soong Meiling. The vigorous tiger hunting campaign was aborted, and Du gangster was freed...
…
Although Zhao Zhen is a benevolent emperor through the ages, he still needs to maintain his authority. At this time, if Chen Ke is allowed to go outside, wouldn't it be to declare to the world that the official family is indeed partial and regards the country's talent promotion ceremony as a
A feast for my relatives.
This is something Zhao Zhen cannot accept no matter what, so Chen Ke can't leave even if he wants to...
"This bullet also has a function, which is to make Wang Jiefu completely on our side." Chen Ke pointed to the memorial and said. Wang Anshi was originally not in the eyes of today's officials, but the example of Wang Anshi in the past was used on the bullet to prove it.
The official has a criminal record. Do you think he can't hate this man who has been loaded with bullets?
"It's just that in this way, your reputation will eventually be damaged." Zhao Zongji looked at Chen Ke worriedly and said: "Three people become a tiger. People who don't know the truth will think that your number one scholar is really obtained through connections."
"Don't worry," Chen Ke laughed and said, "Let him start a prairie fire, and the sea water will pour out!" He took out a piece of white paper from the table and said, "Write a few words."
"What word?"
"Examination of the Apocryphal Classics of Shangshu, the Doctrine of the Mean, and the Paragraphs of the Great Learning." Chen Ke said: "Write these eleven words first, and show the highest level."
In the study, high-quality rice paper of various sizes is always available. The ink in the inkstone box is also soaked in high-quality silk floss. At this time, it is placed on the incense burner and roasted briefly, and it melts.
Zhao Zongji picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote the eleven characters one stroke at a time. Chen Ke took it carefully, nodded appreciatively, and said, "This hand of Yan Shu is getting more and more popular."
"It's just writing blindly." Zhao Zongji shook his head and said with a smile, "What do you want these words for?"
"Frame it and hang it in the middle hall." Chen Ke smiled and said, "It can drive away evil spirits and suppress demons."
"Screw you, are you calling me ugly like Zhong Kui?" Zhao Zongji pretended to be angry.
"You're joking." Chen Ke said with a smile: "I'm going to publish a few books." He said that when future generations publish books and films, they always have to stir up the news first. I don't know if I am their student or the originator?
"I know that the "Apocryphal Examination of the Book of Documents" should indeed be written down so that the world can see what is right and what is wrong." Zhao Zongji said: "But what are these "Zhongyong Chapters" and "Great Learning Chapters"?"
"I can't just destroy without building." Chen Ke said with a smile: "If I destroy one book, I will return two books!"
In this era, "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" are two chapters in the "Book of Rites" and have not been fully written. That is to say, the so-called Four Books and Five Classics in later generations only have two books and five classics, and the other two books do not exist yet. …
"Okay, let the world see if you have real talent or learning!" Although Chen Ke explained, Zhao Zongji still couldn't realize the importance of these books.
Chen Ke didn't explain, nodded, and carefully put Zhao Zongji's calligraphy away.
After talking about Chen Ke, Zhao Zongji began to worry about himself and said: "You said they are preparing to launch an attack. How should we respond?"
Chen Ke thought for a while and gave a genius suggestion: "Let's do some fortune-telling."
"You..." Zhao Zongji almost spit out blood. But out of respect for Chen Ke, he still followed the words and divined.
The result was that "everything bad turns into good luck". Although Zhao Zongji didn't believe it, he was still somewhat encouraged and said: "It's a good fortune."
"Actually, it depends on the attitude of the officials," Chen Ke put away the lottery tube and said, "Let's see if there is any way to make the officials full of resistance to this matter. Once such emotions arise, it will be easier to handle."
"Yeah." Zhao Zongji nodded and said, "Then what should we do specifically?"
"I'll find someone to ask you." Chen Ke smiled and said, "There is a guy who is the best at it."
Wang Yu sneezed.
