Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 196 The Emperor's Attitude
Sure enough, as Xia Song expected, after Li Buqi finished his statement, before Chen Zhizhong could speak, the emperor first asked: "Masters, what Buqi said is shocking. I wonder if you have any better solutions?"

This tendency is obvious.Xia Song looked back and forth with his eyes, and saw that Wen Yanbo also shrunk his neck and lowered his head, it seemed that he was also pretending to be a quail.

Pang Ji, who had just returned to Beijing, stood up and said at this time: "This is the negligence of the ministers. Please punish them. It's just that I don't believe that the establishment of a police department can completely put an end to these things. If there are unfinished things, set up a If you have a secretary, then the court money and food may not be able to support you."

This is a language trap.Li Buqi immediately choked back: "Pang Fushu's words are unfair. The Privy Council is set up in this dynasty, and there are often incidents of noise from the Imperial Army and the Xiang Army, and even the battle with Xixia. Is it necessary to abolish the Privy Council? Please set up a police officer." , because this matter is related to national security and the safety of the world. Moreover, matters involving the police can easily become ambiguous, and it is impossible to deal with them slowly. Moreover, as matters involving privacy, several officers slowly blended the results. I’m afraid that the news has already spread to everyone.”

Pang Ji didn't speak anymore.Zhao Zhen immediately asked again: "Zhuqing, what do you think?"

Chen Zhizhong saw that Wen Yanbo, Ding Du, and Gao Ruona had no intention of speaking and did not dare to confront the emperor, so he had to settle for the next best thing: "Letting officials and warriors to monitor scholar-bureaucrats is detrimental to politeness, and scholar-bureaucrats are innocent and cannot be supervised."

The emperor looked at Li Buqi, and Li Buqi immediately asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, shouldn't someone like Zhang Deyi be under surveillance?"

It's Zhang Deyi again!Chen Zhizhong's eyes were about to burst into flames, but there was really nothing he could do about it.

At this time, Li Buqi added to the fire: "Your Majesty should know that a gentleman is magnanimous and has nothing to say to others. If this is the case, what is your Majesty worried about?"

Chen Zhizhong said: "A villain has nothing to do, I'm afraid he will take advantage of the situation to oppress the scholar-bureaucrats."

Li Buqi smiled and said, "Didn't Xianggong carefully read the official's memorial? The official has repeatedly emphasized that the police department should be directly under the command of His Majesty like the imperial city department. Doesn't Xianggong still believe in His Majesty?"

In fact, Chen Zhizhong and the others hated this one the most.A yamen with such great power is directly under the control of the emperor, which greatly expands the imperial power and weakens the rights of the scholar-bureaucrats. Just this one makes them label Li Buqi as a "traitor".

But the hatred in my heart turned to hatred, and it happened that Zhang Deyi surrendered to the Maitreya Sect, and no one dared to sprinkle salt on the emperor's wound anymore.Chen Zhizhong finally shut up.

Seeing that the chief executives chose to shut up under his pressure, Zhao Zhen felt a little better, and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible: "In this case, Zhu Qing, do you think this police department should be set up or not?"

For this reason, who would dare to say that there should be no police department?Seeing that no one else spoke, Chen Zhizhong couldn't avoid it even though he was the prime minister, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "This matter involves a lot, please issue an order to the courtiers to discuss it in detail."

With Chen Zhizhong standing in front, Xia Song and the others also casually said, "I think this is a safe strategy."

There was obvious anger in Zhao Zhen's eyes, and he said coldly: "Okay, then let everyone discuss it."

At this time, Li Buqi reported again: "If a police department is established, I ask your majesty to consider appointing Bao Zheng, the transfer envoy of Hebei Road, and Bao Xiren as the promotion."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "Well, it's really hard work not to give up. I also think that Bao Qing is a virtuous and upright person, and he will definitely be qualified for this position."

Hearing Li Buqi recommend Bao Xiren, Chen Zhizhong secretly scolded Li Buqi for his good calculation.

Bao Xiren is a civil servant, and he is also known as a stern and selfless person.It can be said that Li Buqi recommended him to promote the police department, which can be said to be popular, and it can immediately neutralize some people who eat melons.It is not easy to scold Li Buqi for being selfish in this matter.

Of course, he didn't know that Li Buqi actually had another plan in it.Bao Zheng's virtuous side is exactly what he didn't say, but relatively speaking, his talent is a bit weaker. Such a person can be deceived, and under Bao Zheng's cover, he will first seize the real power of the police department.Moreover, Bao Zheng's jealous character and his education make it possible for him to focus on punishing traitors after he presides over the police department, so he will pay less attention to other aspects, so as not to let Li Buqi get involved in those secret things Leak the show.

After the court was over, Ding Du called Li Buqi to stop, and waited until there was no one around him before saying, "Buqi. I know you are thinking about the country, but you are giving the official a knife. Are you not afraid that one day you will cut him down?" On my own head?"

In fact, Li Buqi certainly has this concern, but instead of watching the country of the Song Dynasty being ruined by a bunch of moths, it is better to let the emperor clean it up.After all, the emperor must think that Jiangshan belongs to his family, so he would be a little bit more concerned, wouldn't he?Furthermore, it is also to show that I think of the emperor in everything, and to draw in my feelings.It's the lesser of two harms.

So Li Buqi made a nonchalant expression and said: "I also said that I gave the official a knife. The knife is just a tool. Can it hurt people by itself? It doesn't matter who the knife cuts at. Who is it? Your Majesty is a student who participates in politics, doesn't it mean that you don't have confidence in your students when you participate in politics?"

Ding Du still had a little confidence in his students, and he couldn't help showing a proud look on his face, but then he said worriedly: "There is no problem with today's government. But the one who started it has no descendants? You started this Can the future officials be as benevolent as the current officials?"

Li Buqi smiled irresponsibly: "Of course some people are worried about this matter. Isn't there someone helping the officials to determine the candidate for the crown prince now? The Song Dynasty is full of people, and the next official who is educated must also be kind. Yes. I'm not worried about this at all!"

Ding Du was so angry that he didn't know what to say, he just pointed his finger at Li Buqi's nose: "You, you!"

When the imperial edict for the ministers to discuss whether to set up a police department was issued, a group of officials big and small who didn't know the truth immediately opposed it impassionedly.That's for sure, no one wants to let the emperor find out about his little shit.Instead, the matter of asking the third prince to leave the palace was temporarily put aside.

Li Buqi saw the name of Sima Guang among the most active people who opposed the establishment of the Police Department, and it is said that his memoirs are the most literary.Of course, literary talents can also be interpreted as being able to confuse people's minds with empty words.

Li Buqi was deeply impressed by Sima Guang, not only because of his fame in history, but also because Sima Guang is now regarded as a rising star in the political arena.Some people are now promoting Sima Guang in order to offset Li Buqi's contribution in the Battle of Beizhou.It is said that when Li Buqi did not arrive in Beizhou, Sima Guang wrote the "Shang Pang Privy Secretary's Discussion on Beizhou Matters", suggesting to "destroy" thieves by means of threats. Punish the "chief evil", and the rest will not ask.Therefore, many of Li Buqi's strategies in Beizhou were originally stolen by Sima Guang.

Damn it, is it bearable or unbearable, Sima Guang, let's wait and see.

After less than ten days of fighting in the court, the emperor suddenly dismissed Chen Zhizhong.The court was full of smart people, and they immediately understood the emperor's determination, and immediately most of the opposing voices disappeared without a trace.But the scholar-officials lost their limelight on this matter, so they naturally had to find it back from other sources. Suddenly, the argument that "the third prince should be invited out of the palace" was rampant, and it became more and more serious. This requirement is clearly stated in the memorial.

Lian Guangzhi even met with Li Buqi for this purpose, and told him that the civil servants are now in tandem as if they are crazy, especially the middle and lower-level officials. .

"Are they crazy? Aren't they afraid that the officials will completely hate them? What are they doing for?" Lian Guangzhi was a little puzzled.

Li Buqi thought for a while and said: "They are afraid! The officials are now interested in setting up a police department. They don't know the truth. They are probably afraid that when the police department is established in the future, they will be found out if they continue to make trouble. The emperor will settle accounts after autumn."

Lian Guangzhi nodded: "I guess it makes sense. What should we do?"

Li Buqi chuckled: "The most important thing now is to get the police department right. Other things are left to them to make troubles. If they don't make trouble, how can the officials decide to set up a police department? How can we have the opportunity to leverage the court?"
