Summer is here, and the courtyard of Chunfang is filled with hundreds of flowers, which are so beautiful. Zhao Xin often comes to the garden to walk, read and meet guests.
There were many guests here, mainly to express gratitude.
For example, just half a month ago, Wu Yu, who went to the Xianyuan Courtyard and the Taichang Liyuan Courtyard, paid a visit to Zhao Xin after his resignation and was extremely grateful.
Because, after being kept idle in Taichang Liyuan for several years by Zhang Shixun and Lu Yijian, he finally made a comeback!
On the 13th day of the fourth month of the first year of Qing Dynasty (Yisi day), Wu Yuzhi was appointed as the governor of the Yongxing Army. He was informed that Qinzhou promoted the official affairs of Qinfeng Road and Changping, and was responsible for the military and political affairs of Qinzhou. He also led Qinfeng Road to redeem the land.
Granting fields to archers and other matters.
Zhao Xin still has a good impression of Wu Yu.
So I gave him some instructions and asked him to keep an eye on the 25 people in Qinfeng Road after he took office. Don't ask these people to inform Yuan Hao or even smuggle arms, silk, and tea privately.
A few days after sending Wu Yu away, Wang Yiyong also came to Zhao Xin to apologize.
The prince-in-law's participation in political affairs has finally come to an end.
On Renchen in April, the day after Wu Yu resigned from Beijing, Wu Yu's good friend Zhang Fangping, the right admonishment official, wrote a letter to impeach Wang Yiyong for indulging in his family, private industry, and dereliction of duty.
Wang Yiyong immediately confessed his crime and resigned from his post.
Therefore, Zhao Xin's father, after symbolically retaining this relative, dismissed Wang Yiyong as the Taiping Army's military envoy at the end of April, and went to punish Xiangzhou.
Wang Yiyong was naturally very grateful, because this was already the most honorable ending he could get.
During the Song Dynasty, it was common for civil servants and military officials to be dismissed from office and to be released from office.
Because if you are dismissed from office today, you may be reinstated tomorrow.
Even if he is demoted, he is actually not afraid.
Fan Zhongyan was demoted to Raozhou back then. Isn't he still prosperous now?
In the Great Song Dynasty, dismissal and demotion were part of the rules of the game. For officials and ministers, what they really feared was placement, management, and the ultimate horror of being stripped!
Therefore, Wang Yiyong's dismissal from office is actually equivalent to Big Wolf standing at the door and saying to Pleasant Goat: I will come back.
Therefore, Wang Yiyong came to express his gratitude.
Thanks to Zhao Xin, my nephew, for not killing them all and showing mercy.
Otherwise, it would not be Zhang Fangping who was impeached, but Fu Bi.
The content of the impeachment will not be painless, and for the minister, it will not even affect his reputation, such as "indulging his family and private industry."
Because there were no officials in the Song Dynasty who did not do business.
Even a county magistrate or even a town supervisor has several shops and businesses operating under his name.
These shops and businesses are even reported to the country as part of their political achievements. I made xx yuan from doing xx business this year!
When the people above looked at it, they thought, what a good guy!
Get promoted quickly!
Because in today's Song Dynasty, the proportion of traditional agricultural taxes in the national annual revenue has dropped to an unprecedented low level. The two agricultural taxes only account for less than 40% of the national annual revenue.
Of the tens of millions of taxes collected by the Song Dynasty every year, more than 60% came from mining and commercial taxes, as well as state monopoly income!
Moreover, its proportion will continue to rise in the future. In the later years of Zhao Xin's previous life, the two agricultural taxes were even inferior to the tea tax and mineral tax, and they were competing with overseas trade for the third position.
The economic base determines the superstructure. Therefore, in the Northern Song Dynasty, ministers did not need to know anything about military affairs or even law, as long as they understood economics.
Being able to do business is not a disadvantage, but an advantage!
After Wang Yiyong was dismissed from office, Prime Minister Lu Yijian immediately recommended his own Wang Juzheng.
However, Zhang Dexiang, who knew the Privy Council, had different opinions. Zhang Dexiang recommended Wang Yaochen, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, on the grounds that Wang Yaochen was more knowledgeable and wiser than Wang Ju, and the country was now in a period of hiring people. What's more, Wang Ju had tracheitis and couldn't even take care of his wife.
Can you rule the world?
For a time, the government and the public were in an uproar.
Wang Juzheng was even more disgraced and embarrassed. It would be hard for anyone to let the fact that he was afraid of his wife spread from a small group of people to the whole world.
Therefore, Wang Juzheng had no choice but to write a letter to beg to leave. Zhao Xin's father also sympathized with Wang Juzheng, so he promoted him to Minister of Rites and sent judgment to Xuzhou.
However, Wang Yaochen did not take it as a matter of participation in political affairs.
Because Lu Yijian was angry, the consequences were serious.
On April Guimao (25th), Lu Yijian recommended his capable old subordinates to Shi Zhong, Zhi Henan Prefecture, Ren Bu, as a candidate for political affairs.
So, even Zhang Dexiang had nothing to say.
Because Ren Bu is a veteran minister and a person recognized by the country as an expert in military affairs.
This is a fierce man!
During Zhenzong's reign, he was highly trusted by Kou Zhun and was specially promoted and reserved for the country's future. He served successively as military judge, governor of the state, local transit envoy, three-capital left guard, and third division deputy envoy.
As far as this resume is concerned, there are few in either government who can match it.
On Bingwu in April (28th), Zhao Xin's father ordered his family to make books, appointed Ren Bu as the counselor of political affairs, and he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
But Lu Yijian did not give up there.
After the prime minister stabilized the affairs within the government, he immediately began his revenge.
On the third day of the lunar month of May 1911, Zhao Xin's father suddenly issued a letter of pardon, and he was dismissed from the post of governor of Song Dynasty.
This was like a thunderbolt that suddenly exploded on Zhang Dexiang's head, causing the Privy Councilor to panic, thinking that the officials at that time thought that he interfered too much in the affairs of the government and were going to beat him up.
After a few days, Zhang Dexiang learned the whole story.
Song Chu was dismissed because of his own fault, while Zheng Jian simply suffered the same fate as a fish in a pond.
Last month, Fan Zhongyan took the initiative to report to the court that he sent an envoy to the Western thief Yuan Hao's lair last year.
Naturally, there was a lot of discussion between the government and the public. Many people accused Fan Zhongyan of secretly communicating with Yuan Hao. This was a heinous crime and he should be punished!
Lu Yijian also quietly talked about this matter with Song Chu in private. As he spoke, he naturally wanted to peel off Fan Zhongyan.
Song Chu looked at it and thought he had another chance to express himself, so he kept talking bad things about Fan Zhongyan in the court hall.
But, who is Song Chu's opponent to an old fox like Lu Yijian?
In fact, after Lu Yijian scolded Fan Zhongyan with Song Ti, he turned around and excused Fan Zhongyan in front of Zhao Xin's father, saying that Zhong Yan wanted to recruit rebel Qiang Er, so how could he be so guilty!
Du Yan, deputy envoy to the Privy Council, also held this opinion. In addition, Zhao Xin's father actually felt that it was not a big deal, so he just issued an edict to reprimand Fan Zhongyan and ordered him not to make such private opinions again.
Song Itch bumped into the muzzle of the gun.
Lu Yijian turned around and was accused of being a 'clique'.
He also mentioned that Song Chu, Song Qi, and Zheng Jian were so close that they had to take turns paying for a visit to the Goulan House.
It just so happened that Song Chu had danced too much some time ago and was targeted by real 'cronies'.
You Zhengyan knows Fu Bi of the Jianyuan, you Jianyi the doctor knows Zhang Fangping of the Jianyuan, Zhigao Jia Changqi, fellow practitioners Guo Shen...all are Fan Zhongyan's friends, confidants, pen pals and sympathizers.
Therefore, Song Chu and Zheng Jian had no choice but to leave Beijing in tears.
But these things have nothing to do with Zhao Xin.
And he also has more important things to focus on and advance.
Therefore, he was happy to just watch and not talk.
