Chapter 259: Wind and Fire


Chapter 259 Wind and Fire On that day, Luo Kecheng anchored his boat.

He rushed back to Luo Gongming's mansion, and only sailors and boatmen were left on the ship, and when they arrived in the prosperous place of Kaifeng, most of these boatmen and sailors went ashore to enjoy, and only an old helmsman was left on the ship.

However, when several "family officials" of Wu Desi went to the wharf to inspect an official ship that had been reported to be smuggled away, they found that there were several faint figures on the ship, and their actions were very sneaky.

When several relatives heard that the ship was the ship of the deputy envoy of the southeast eastern province, they did not dare to act rashly, so they reported the matter to their superiors and "became officials."

Wu Desi is the later Imperial City Division, directly under the official family, its functions are equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's Jinyi Guard, but there is not such a huge energy, and its main scope of functions is limited to the vicinity of Kaifeng.

Inspecting the officials in Beijing was originally their business, and the "official in charge" also felt a little strange when he heard this, and he ordered these "family officials" to secretly monitor the ship, and reported the matter to Zhao Kuangyin early the next morning.

Zhao Kuangyin heard that the ship was the seat of the son of Luo Gongming, the deputy envoy of the third envoy, and he didn't want to make a big deal with such an important minister of the DPRK.

But Roxon is a transshipment envoy.

The financial power of the imperial court is in the hands of the three envoys, the financial power of the road is in the hands of the transfer envoys, and the financial power of a state is in the state judgment, which is the god of wealth of the imperial court Zhao Kuangyin instructed the "official to be an official" to think of a way to search for the ship in Luoke City.

The official went away with the edict, ordered a family servant to escape to the ship disguised as a fugitive, and then took the opportunity to take people across the ship to search for the "fugitive".

After returning to Ouchi, Zhao Kuangyin was furious, he did not object to the officials asking for money, and encouraged them to buy land and raise maids, but the gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, but as an official, he cannot tolerate bending the law for personal gain.

The transit envoy is in charge of the finances of the whole way, and the taxes collected are allowed to be paid in kind, and the officials will draw the tax when they pass through the customs.

The Great Song Dynasty mainly exported ceramics, silk, and tea, and imported mainly spices, grain, medicinal herbs, furs, and jewelry.

If it weren't for the inadvertent discovery by the officials of the Wu De Division, Luo Kecheng would have returned home and then handed over the official business to Yousi, and he was afraid that he would have to sell these goods in the store, and there would be no evidence.

Moreover, he also has a box of jewels on his ship.

I don't know which officials are used to make friends, this Beizhu and fur are only from the northern country, if this is not an ordinary corruption smuggling Not long ago, Fu Tinghan, the governor of Dizhou, and Mo Yan, the magistrate of Dizhou, were lured by the treachery and sentenced to flee to the north, and Zhou Wei, the governor of Dizhou and the doctor of Youzanshan, found out in time, caught Fu Tinghan, and escorted him to Beijing, and was just convicted and executed two days ago, but Mo Yan successfully escaped to the north, forcing him to make a drastic adjustment to the military deployment near Dizhou.

Luo Kecheng is the deputy envoy of the southeast east, and Dizhou is under his jurisdiction, if Luo Kecheng also colludes with the northerners The Luo family is a family of eunuchs in the court, the eldest son Luo Kecheng is in the local office, the second son is not in the office, nor is he a scientific examination, but he is popular among the scholars, the third son is an official in the southern ya, the fourth son is a general in the forbidden army, and the two daughters are also officials in the court.

The power of the Luo family can be described as intricate, although it is not obvious, it should not be underestimated.

With such a prominent family, it stands to reason that there is no reason to take risks to deal with the northerners, but there are signs, and there are lessons from Fu Tinghan and Mo Yan, but Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to be careless, and immediately ordered Luo Kecheng to be detained in the Imperial History Prison for investigation, and at the same time ordered the Imperial City Division to closely monitor all Luo Gongming's behaviors.

Luo Gongming is a high-ranking official who manages the finances of the imperial court, and his son manages the finances of the Southeast East Road, and now his son is not only suspected of corruption, but also has signs of fornication with the northerners, Luo Gongming's position immediately became embarrassing.

On the day Luo Kecheng was detained in the Imperial History Prison, Luo Gongming reported his illness and recuperated behind closed doors.

For a while, rumors spread, and the entire court shook Yang Hao didn't know anything about it.

He has been very busy in the past two days, and it is rare to even go to "Ruxuefang".

Zhao Guangyi invited the holy decree to come back, and the construction of the fire towers and fire shops began everywhere, and the officials were selected from the Kaifeng Prefecture, and the young and strong people with flexible hands and feet were selected from the Xiang army to serve as the shopkeepers, and he had to work hard to buy and build axes, saws, ropes, water bladders, and water wheels.

And Cheng Dexuan also encountered nail households there, those who refused to demolish illegal buildings were high-ranking officials and nobles, Cheng Dexuan was not stupid, and the people scolded loudly.

As long as he flatters Shangguan, he is as proud as a spring breeze and has a bright future, and if he offends these dignitaries, he will not have his good fruits to eat, he immediately changed from a pioneer in demolition to a turtle with a shrunken head, and spit bitterness and complain about grievances behind Yang Hao's ass every day, and the progress of the demolition stopped.

Yang Hao didn't care about those, the more court officials he offended, the safer he was, so he was not afraid that many of those high-ranking officials and nobles could go straight to heaven and say bad things about him.

The more bad things were said, the softer the handle of the knife hung above his head, and he couldn't ask for it.

At that moment, Yang Hao excitedly held the holy decree that Zhao Guangyi invited back, rolled up his arms and sleeves and went into battle in person.

Those dignitaries and nobles actually don't care much about the illegal construction, expansion and occupation of the road, the firewood house garbage shed, they just feel that their status is respected, so it is too faceless to be at the mercy of others, so they want to put this tone, now Cheng Dexuan is out, but there is a Yang Hao, this Yang Hao is the face of the Golden Palace, blatantly tampered with the teacher's table, and he is not ashamed to speak out, and he has long become a joke in the eyes of officials.

Behind his back, they all called him a big stick and mallet, ridiculing him for not learning culture, and he didn't know much about things in the officialdom.

But in the face of these tricky nail households, when smart people can't do anything, this big stick mallet came up with a method that is more effective than anyone else, he goes everywhere, directly offers the holy decree, and then directs people to pick up the firewood room and push the garbage house, the general manager of your house comes and resolutely does not give face, if you surrender your identity and come forward in person, the words of both soft and hard, not yin and yang have not yet been spoken.

He lifted the decree on his head, and made the officials angry and amused.

Such a rammer, who is willing to fight with him, and this stunned young man doesn't care if you are an official, big or small, he doesn't give face, so the first official who was demolished is still a little angry, and then look at him demolishing the second one, that one is bigger than his own official, he doesn't give face, but he is calm.

Unexpectedly, Yang Hao has a good reputation among the people.

Even those people who were ordered to rebuild stoves or demolish the firewood sheds outside the snail's house only scolded Cheng Dexuan, and had a good impression of Yang Hao.

Originally, out of hatred of the rich, they felt relieved when they saw those high-ranking officials and nobles disgraced in front of Yang Hao, plus their own sheds were demolished, if those who were officials did not demolish them, could they be convinced Cheng Dexuan has a prestige in the face of these powerless and powerless people, and at this time, look, tsk, tsk, people are stunned.

Especially this stunned young man demolished the illegal shacks of the former prime minister Wang Pu's family, whether it was the government or the people, who was still not convinced Wang Pu is the founding prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, very much valued by Zhao Kuangyin, and there was also a second stunned man who offended him, the second stunned man was called Wang Yansheng, who was the founding general of the Great Song Dynasty, good at fencing, and nicknamed "Wang Jian'er".

After the Chen Qiao Mutiny, he was the first to return to the city and killed Han Tong, the deputy commander of the guards loyal to Emperor Zhou, and inspected Han Tong in Beijing, and prevented the armed resistance.

But this guy killed Han Tong's entire family in one go, which violated Zhao Kuangyin's order that "no one should commit any crimes", and as a result, Zhao Kuangyin was furious and vowed not to give him his life for the rest of his life.

That is to say, no matter how much he is an official, he will not be able to rise to this position.

But no matter what, he is one of Zhao Kuangyin's most trusted generals after all.

Still reused, he was appointed as the commander of the left wing of the iron cavalry, and also patrolled the capital to maintain law and order in the capital.

As a result, one night when the city patrol was finished, he ran to the king's house.

Wang Pu was inexplicable, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and when he asked why, he said: "It's too hard to patrol the city, so I came over to ask for a glass of wine."

In fact, he came to ask for bribes, because Wang Puhou was the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, and he could not compare to a military general like him who had meritorious service.

But Wang Pu didn't understand, and after drinking a few glasses of wine with him, he sent him out, and the next morning the court reported the matter to the emperor.

Zhao Kuangyin was furious, relieved him of the post of inspection of the capital, dismissed him from the military position of commander of the left wing of the iron cavalry, released him as an official, and demoted to the history of Tangzhou Assassin, the severity of the punishment was unprecedented, which shows Zhao Kuangyin's respect for Wang Pu.

In the past two years, Wang Yansheng has just been promoted again, becoming the defense envoy of Yuanzhou and the border inspector, and the general of the northwest frontier defense.

However, he has also been promoted to the end, because Zhao Kuangyin has said that in this life and this life, he will never be promoted to a military general who is a high-ranking envoy. is such a prime minister who is highly valued by the government, Yang Hao is not polite, and he should be demolished.

As soon as Cheng Dexuan went back and said it, even Zhao Guangyi pinched a cold sweat for him.

However, I don't know if this prime minister Wang thinks that he can hold the boat in his belly, and he is embarrassed to see him like a little shrimp, or what, the next day the prime minister Wang didn't go to the court to go to the emperor to sue him for his black state.

Zhao Kuangyin was not ignorant of what he did to Yang Hao through Wu Desi, but if Wang Pu didn't come, Zhao Kuangyin also pretended to be confused.

As a result, everyone thought that Yang Hao had stabbed the hornet's nest this time, and he had to peel off the skin if he didn't die, but the next morning, his old man was still wandering around the city of Tokyo, holding the holy decree in his left hand and a brush in his right hand, and wrote the word "demolition" in the place where others did not dare to touch, and ordered the forced demolition without delay.

This kind of integrity that is not afraid of power has made the civil officials and scholars who originally looked down on him look down on him with admiration, and for a while, "there was a strong order in ancient times, and today Yang was forcibly demolished" became a beautiful talk in Bianliang
