Chapter 188 Checks and balances of power are very important, I promote Li Gang and Zongze
Li Ji, a native of Shouchun who presented bamboo muskets, carefully held the design drawings of the storm, musket, earth cannon and red-clothed cannon given to him by Zhao Guanjia, and kowtowed and retired.
A small official from the imperial edict led Li Ji, who was named Chengjielang, to report to the firearm workshop under the military weapon supervisor in the capital, and served as deputy envoy of the firearm workshop...
Zhao Ji led his troops out of the Imperial Garden and moved to Wende Hall.
At this time, the eunuch Liang Shicheng presented a stack of memorials and reported respectfully, saying:
"One of these memorials was written in joint names by many ministers, and several memorials were submitted to several ministers alone for memorials and advice."
Zhao Ji yawned a little tired and said:
"Official Liang, open the memorial, what did this memorial say?"
Liang Shicheng happily knelt down and said, "I obey the order."
The reason why Liang Shicheng was happy was that during this period, even after the change in his character of the officials, Zhao Guan family did it himself, and no longer asked him, the official Liang, who was known as the "hidden star", to do it for him like before.
Liang Shicheng was meticulous. From the fact that the government no longer asked him to help review memorials, he was worried that his status of being favored by the Zhao government was no longer guaranteed.
However, at this time, the Zhao official family handed him over the important task of reading the memorials, and Liang Shicheng was naturally very happy.
In fact, Zhao Ji did not review the memorials personally today, but asked Liang Shicheng to do it on his behalf. This is because:
On the one hand, Zhao Ji was really tired. On the first day he had just returned to Beijing after his victory in the southeast, he first listened to the report of the state affairs by Zhao Huan, the prince of the regent, and accepted the congratulations from his ministers. After doing this, he met Li Ji, a native of Shouchun who offered bamboo muskets in the imperial garden, and also drew drawings of raids, muskets, earth cannons, and red cannons.
Zhao Ji ignored the fatigue of his journey after returning to Beijing and did so many things, he really felt tired.
On the other hand, Zhao Ji really hasn't made a decision whether to kill the last two thieves in history, namely Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng, who are known as the six thieves in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji felt a clear mind, and knew whether it was Tong Guan or Liang Shicheng, if they had been officials for many years, held great power and had a lot of wealth to investigate the corruption problem between them, they would definitely check it out one by one.
However, the reason why Zhao Ji still kept Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng was that they were still useful now, but they were very useful.
Zhao Ji had previously sent Tong Guan to supervise large ships for long-distance sailing in the southeast, and asked Tong Guan to open new continental routes and find high-yield crop seeds to come back. These things can also be sent to others to do.
However, Zhao Ji also left a glimmer of opportunity for Tong Guan, which was not so merciful. Instead, Zhao Ji knew the emperor's skills of controlling people.
One of the emperors' skills of controlling people is to maintain the formation of two or even multiple factions between subordinate ministers, so as to restrain each other and restrain each other, so as to achieve half of the power of the ministers of any sect.
Now, Zhao Ji really wants to promote civil officials and generals who are the main war faction, such as Li Gang, Zong Ze, and civil officials Zhang Jun (not one of the four generals of Zhongxing), Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, etc.
In this way, although they are all loyal ministers recorded in history, the Northern Song Dynasty in the world I traveled through time may not necessarily have the butterfly effect brought by me, a time traveler, when the power in the war sect expands to a point where the power in their hands is about to explode, will they have any different ambitions?
Take a step back, even if they are loyal to the emperor and love the garden, they will not do unethical things like using the imperial robe;
But will they learn from Huo Guang, the powerful minister of the Western Han Dynasty?
It will be very likely.
After all, on the day Huo Guang died, he still considered himself a loyal minister!
However, Huo Guang, "was entrusted by his cradle, was appointed as the Han Dynasty's letter, to safeguard the country, and to stabilize the country... He died for only three years, and the clan killed the barbarians."
Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty commented on him as: "Huo Guang's support for the Han Dynasty can be said to be loyal; but why can't he hide his ancestors? The power and blessings are the tools of the king. If a minister holds it, he will not return for a long time, and it will be less than enough."
In other words, Huo Guang devoted himself to the Han Dynasty.
Before Emperor Wu of Han died, he ascended the throne of Huo Guang, eight-year-old Liu Fuling, who was the eight-year-old emperor of Han. Liu Fuling died at the age of 21 and had no son.
King Liu He of Changyi was the emperor first. More than ten days after Liu He ascended the throne, Huo Guang had planned to depose him with Zhang Anshi. Liu He reigned for the 27th day, but because of his excessive debauchery and failure to protect the country, he was deposed as a commoner by Huo Guang...
Although Huo Guang, who claimed to be a loyal minister, never rebelled in his life, his family did whatever he wanted because his power was too great.
In order to make his youngest daughter Huo Chengjun become the queen, Huo Guang's wife ordered people to use poison to poison the Empress Xu, who was pregnant with a second child who was in power at that time, and she was killed by one corpse and two lives...
Murdering the queen is a crime of killing nine clans. However, with the powerful minister Huo Guang protecting his wife, the murder of Empress Xu was left unresolved.
Huo Guang's son Huo Yun likes to build large-scale construction and build luxury houses. Huo Yun often does not go to court and asks his servants to take leave. The servants also rely on their power. Once, they argued with the servants of the Censor's family. Huo Guang's family slaves actually destroyed the Censor's door and refused to give in. Later, the Censor went out to kowtow and apologize. On the surface, the Huo family was very glorious, but this action made the civil and military officials in the court even more hate the Huo family's arrogance.
Even more than a year after Huo Guang's death, Emperor Xuan of Han had already taken power. Another year later, Emperor Xuan of Han appointed the eldest son of Empress Xu as the crown prince. (Huo Guang's wife) Huo Xian, when he heard about this, he was afraid that his youngest daughter Huo Chengjun, who was already the second emperor, would not be the crown prince after giving birth to a son, so he was very angry and could not eat. He was so angry that he vomited blood. He instructed his youngest daughter Empress Huo to poison the crown prince.
The conspiracy was defeated and backward. Huo Xian and his son-in-law and his children conspired to rebel...
Soon, the Huo family's rebellion was pacified, and all Huo Guang's relatives were executed...
...
As a time traveler, Zhao Ji would never let the so-called "loyal ministers" like Huo Guang appear again in the Song Dynasty.
While Zhao Ji will definitely promote and use loyal ministers, he will also find candidates who can balance loyal ministers and generals.
For the time being, Liang Shicheng, who is known as the "hidden image", and Tong Guan, who is known as the "mother's face", can be temporarily selected as the "weight" at the other end of the scale.
Therefore, Zhao Ji now trusts and values Liang Shicheng on the surface.
After receiving Zhao Ji's decree, Liang Shicheng immediately happily read the memorials of the ministers...
Zhao Ji leaned on the dragon chaise, closed his eyes and rested, enjoying the massage service of the two beautiful palace maids behind him, rubbing their shoulders and pinching their legs...
After a quarter of an hour, Liang Shicheng had carefully read all the memorials.
However, when Liang Shicheng saw that the Zhao Guan family was so comfortable served by two beautiful palace maids, he stood beside him without saying a word, and did not dare to disturb the Zhao Guan family who was leaning on the dragon throne and closing their eyes to rest.
Zhao Ji, who was receiving this, heard the friction between the papers when Liang Shicheng was not reading the memorial, and slowly opened his eyes and asked:
"Official Liang has finished reading all the memorials? What are the things that are said on these memorials?"
Liang Shizhen replied immediately: "I have read all the memorials seriously.
Among these memorials, there are memorials jointly signed by ministers, asking the officials to punish the crime of being unfaithful and unrighteous, betrayed the court, and surrendered to the rebellious minister of the Fang La bandit army, Zhang Bangchang, and the officials asked the officials to review it."
Zhao Ji took the memorial from the couplet of ministers, opened it and took a brief look.
I actually saw many officials who had previously been dependent on Zhang Bangchang. When they saw that something had happened to Zhang Bangchang, they immediately drew a clear line with Zhang Bangchang, and even collaborated to attack Zhang Bangchang and his family with vicious intentions. Some even wrote memorials to request the execution of the three tribes of Zhang Bangchang...
