Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 64: The Emperor or a Tier [-] Official?
Cheng Chu led away, while Zhao Huan's frame still stayed on the outside to watch the excitement.

Zhao Huan saw Chen Dong and Ouyang Che very keenly. Their high-spirited appearance reminded Zhao Huan of his youthful years.

If it weren't for Bai Shizhong, Liang Shicheng, Zhang Bangchang and others who ran to the south of the Yangtze River, Zhao Huan would not have a good idea for Li Bangyan.

Now the power of Bianjing City can only be said to be equal.

But who let the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji restore the throne, and the ministers of the court ran to the small court in the south of the Yangtze River?Directly, the strength of Zhao Huan, the new emperor's small circle, suddenly expanded a lot.

In fact, being passionate is of little use. No matter how angry the people of Bianjing were, they would not dare to climb over the low courtyard wall and beat Li Bangyan to death.

Because even though Liang Shicheng had escaped, Li Bangyan's mansion was still surrounded by a circle of armored Great Song Forbidden Army. The sharp spears in their hands were aimed at the excited Bianjing people, preventing them from moving forward.

"Go and call me those two men in long gowns." Zhao Huan said to Cai You.

Cai You stood beside the carriage, followed Zhao Huan's finger direction, and saw Chen Dong and Ouyang Che.

Because the two are wearing 襕 shirts, 襕 shirts are made of white fine cloth, with round necks and large sleeves, and a horizontal 襕 is used as a skirt, with folds around the waist. There is a huge difference.

When Chen Dong and Ouyang Che saw that it was Cai You, they were both taken aback. They didn't know that the emperor was calling for them until they saw the imperial carriage of the Song Dynasty driving in jade and stopped not far away.

"See Your Majesty." Chen Dong and Ouyang Che came to Zhao Huan's car and said with a salute.

Zhao Huan waved his hands and said, "It's nothing else to ask you two to come, but any such activities in the future must be reported to Kaifeng Governor. Wait for the approval before proceeding."

Ouyang Che's expression changed, his eyes widened with anger, and Chen Dong held Ouyang Che back to prevent this strong man from doing anything excessive.

The reason why Zhang Dun, a minister who rejuvenated the country and stabilized the country, is now treated as a treacherous minister is not only because of Zhao Ji's deliberate smearing, but also because of his behavior of controlling the public's speech, which has caused the public to have a very bad impression of him.

He was convicted because of his words, but also because of Zhang Dun.

During the Yuanyou period, Zhang Dun asked Zhezong to issue an edict to investigate people who lied to people in various places and punish them according to the law.

Zhang Dun set up a reward. Anyone who has a whistleblower will receive a big reward. The wind of whistleblowing is becoming more and more prosperous.

There was a man who was drunk and talking nonsense. Zhezong issued an order to exempt him from the death penalty, and Zhang Dun killed him according to the law.So that public resentment boiled.

No matter how many things he did, the people felt that he was a traitorous minister, and he was a traitorous minister. Zhao Ji followed the boat and nailed Zhang Dun to the shame of a traitorous minister.

Now the new emperor wants to learn from Zhang Dun to control the public discussion?
Ouyang Che was disappointed.

Zhao Huan didn't bother to explain, Chen Dong obviously understood what he said.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and the imperial guards of the capital dispersed from the gate of the prime minister's mansion, and the officials and officials filed in, ready to go in and search the house to arrest people.

Zhao Huan felt bored, so he left the prime minister's mansion, took a chariot, and prepared to go back to the palace.

It's interesting to watch this kind of drama of copying a house once. The servants wantonly greedy for the property of the house, hiding it in a water tank or a secret room, or burying it in the ground.

I thought I could take it out after the storm passed.

That's too underestimating the official who is in charge of ransacking the house.Digging three feet will also wipe out this house.

As the car drove farther and farther away, the anger in Ouyang Che's eyes became more and more obvious, and he said angrily, "An Neng has reason! Is Your Majesty protecting Li Bangyan, or is he protecting a treacherous minister? A nest of snakes and rats!"

Chen Dong looked around, pointed at Ouyang Che and said, "You, you, what are you talking about, and you don't look at where you are! Talk nonsense! Do you understand that walls have ears?"

"How many Chazi from the Imperial City Division are there on this street? If it weren't for His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, and not haggling with you, nine of your lives would not be enough!"

Chen Dong said this on purpose, but he actually said it to Cha Zi.In other words, tell the emperor behind Chazi.

"Think about it, who is the Governor of Kaifeng?" Chen Dong asked.

Governor of Kaifeng?Aren't the prefects of Kaifeng all named as clan relatives?Regardless of the matter, it is Kaifeng Shaoyin who presides over various affairs in Bianjing.

Wait... Ouyang Che finally understood what the emperor meant.

The governor of Kaifeng is a first-rank official.Knowing the affairs of the Privy Council or the Privy Council is just a good grade.How did the parents and officials of a mansion get into the rank of the first rank?

Because the governor of Kaifeng is personally in charge of the official!
Reporting to the governor of Kaifeng is naturally reporting to the emperor!

Why is Zhao Huan the governor of Kaifeng, such an idle official who doesn't care about things?

If the prince is just the prince, not the governor of Kaifeng, it means that the prince does not want the emperor's heart and wants to change the prince!
This system saves the suspicion among the prince, emperor, and ministers, and represents orthodoxy when the imperial power is transferred.

Zhao Guangyi, the donkey cart emperor, is the prefect of Kaifeng and the orthodox heir.

Even so, he still did such dirty things as candle shadow and ax sound.

Zhao Huan, the governor of Kaifeng, hadn't actually been in office for a few days. This first-rank official had always been held by the dead Zhao Kai. It wasn't until the day before Zhao Huan ascended the throne that Zhao Ji gave him the position of governor of Kaifeng.

Ouyang Che is a commoner, how can he understand these twists and turns?
"I misunderstood what His Majesty meant. Your Majesty doesn't want Bianjing to escape from his control!" Ouyang Che said with emotion.

Chen Dong shook his head again. This Ouyang Che is full of enthusiasm, but his guts are too straight. Loyalty is loyalty. He said that the hero of Song Jiang and Liangshan who caused the incident was the rebel army. He stood on the emperor's standpoint and refuted that Fang La's rebel army was a scourge .

The turn of the mind slowed down.

Seeing that Ouyang Che still didn't understand why the emperor acted like this, he could only say: "Your Majesty is not protecting corrupt officials, nor is Your Majesty protecting treacherous ministers. On the contrary, Your Majesty is protecting the common people, us high-spirited scholars!"

Ok?Ouyang Che was stunned. Why is this policy restricting his freedom of speech protecting himself?

Chen Dong saw the confusion in Ouyang Che's eyes, and said, "Compared with Li Bangyan, who has a higher rank than you and me?"

Ouyang Che hated the way he spoke in a twisted manner, and this group of officials and imperial students were all in this tone.

He said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense? You are a student of the imperial court, and you can be regarded as an eight-rank student. He Li Bangyan is Shangshu Zuo Cheng, a first-rank official! If you compare with him, ants will shake the tree."

"Is it the sharp weapons in the hands of the imperial guards, or the swords and axes in the hands of the master imperial guards, who are mortals with naked eyes and indestructible golden bodies?" Chen Dong asked again.

"Of course the Imperial Army's knives and axes are sharp. Wait a minute, I seem to understand." Ouyang Che suddenly realized!

Chen Dong nodded and said: "We gather spontaneously to act, whether it is Kaifeng Mansion or the Forbidden Army for city defense, there is a lot to do. Picking quarrels and provoking trouble, gathering people to criticize the court officials, any of them is enough for us ordinary people Have a drink."

"However, after being approved by the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, the nature is very different. We are acting under the orders of the emperor, and the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture can only open the way for us; the knives and axes of the imperial army can only be kept; they can only watch. , can't do anything. Do you think His Majesty is facing us, or toward the treacherous officials?"

"The people are weak, and these treacherous ministers have many ways to deal with us, but it will be very different if they are ordered by the emperor. This is the reason."

"And do you think Li Bangyan was defeated by the two of us fighting together?" Chen Dong looked at Cheng Chu's figure and said in distress.

Ouyang Che looked at Cheng Chu's figure and sighed, indeed, this time Li Bangyan's downfall, after all, the new emperor took the opportunity to deal with this treacherous minister.

Seeing this scene, Ouyang Che lost interest, as if everything he did in the siege of the golden soldiers was for nothing.

Chen Dong didn't take it seriously, and patted Ouyang Che on the shoulder and said, "Although what we did was insignificant, we did it. That's enough. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

Ouyang Che didn't understand this very convoluted passage, but he still remembered it.

Zhao Huan returned to the palace while playing a ditty, and turned around and walked into the imperial hospital.

The reason why he is happy today is not that Li Bangyan obeyed the law. He became numb after seeing too many things like house raids.

He was happy that Shen Cong's wound had begun to heal.

With the support of modern nursing concepts and Da Song's best care, the wound on his shoulder has begun to heal.

There is no longer any danger to life.

"Your Majesty, I trouble you to come to see me again. I am ashamed to accept it." Shen Cong said with a salute when he saw Zhao Huan's figure.

"Don't work, don't work. Let me take a look at the wound. Well, there is no pus, it's all new flesh. Don't scratch randomly to prevent secondary injuries. It will be fine after a while." Zhao Huan said looking at the wound.

Shen Cong said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "I hurt my right arm, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it for a long time."

"What's the matter, if you can't use your strength, just practice the left-hand saber! You can also catch him by surprise and catch him unprepared. Besides, the injury is completely healed, and the right hand may not be disabled. Don't listen to Hu Yuan, the imperial doctor, what does he know? ?” Zhao Huan expressed his thoughts.

He was very disappointed with Hu Yuan's treatment.

Hu Yuan walked into the room with medicine on his face helplessly. He has practiced medicine for generations, so why is he so blind?However, I have no way to refute it. There is no doubt that His Majesty's medical methods are more useful than myself.

　Hu Yuan: "Those who didn't vote for recommendation go this way, that's right, it's you. Let me show you a disease that doesn't vote for recommendation, so I can guarantee that the cure will be cured!"
