Chapter 179: Big Rat, Big Rat
Feng Dao is like this, many people admire his prestige and knowledge, and some people privately despise him and curse him, saying that he will be infamous if he is above history.
But when you encounter a difficult thing, especially a very difficult thing, you still have to ask the old lady for help.
Even if he is very inconsistent with Feng Dao, he does not dare to underestimate the old lady's ability.
Feng Dao is getting older and older, since he returned from Wang Jun's expedition, the old lady has fallen into the problem of old cold legs, even in spring, he must be surrounded by thick leather cushions, otherwise a pair of old legs will be like wooden sticks.
Li Gu came to visit, Feng Dao's face was shriveled and thin, his cheekbones were prominent, compared to the past, he was a little less radiant, people would be old, and Master Feng would not be able to escape the knife of the years!
The ten emperors can't help him, and only God can accept this demon!
But before we take him, let's solve some problems first!
"Taishi, just now Wang Xianggong came from Qufu to impeach the Kong family and ask for a thorough investigation, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Feng Dao suddenly frowned, "Didn't Wang Pu go to Qufu with Ye Hua?" What does Ye Hua mean? ”
Li Gu shook his head with a wry smile, "Champion Hou didn't move, and it was precisely because of this that things became difficult." ”
Feng Dao immediately understood, and he grabbed his sparse beard and made a thoughtful gesture. In fact, what he thought was not the Kong family at all, but Ye Hua!
That little cub, who has only worked hard for two years, has not only become a champion, but also the leader of the younger generation of generals. In this expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Ye Hua not only made suggestions, but also charged into battle and made great contributions.
With that kid's cleverness, it was already very difficult to suppress him. Now it's not even possible.
And Ye Hua's kid doesn't seem to have much respect for scholars, even if there are several prime ministers who are famous all over the world, he is not polite at all. I want him to have scruples and show mercy to the Kong family.
Hardly!
As for Wang Pu, he is an honest man, but once an honest man comes up and is stubborn, the nine cows can't pull it back.
With such two people in Qufu, the Kong family is estimated to be unspared.
"Alas, Emperor Mingzong of the previous dynasty ordered to kill Kong Mo and others, and the old man happened to be in the court at that time." Feng Dao didn't directly say what to do, but talked about the past.
"There are indeed no people in the Kong family, but the Zhang family is a local tyrant, if the old man is not mistaken, many things should be done by the Zhang family."
Li Gu was bitter, "Whether it is the Kong family or the Zhang family, if this case is investigated, it will shake the fundamentals, damage the reputation of the saint, and ask the old lady to take action." ”
Li Gu said in an almost pleading tone.
But he didn't notice the unfathomable smile on the corner of Feng Dao's mouth.
Seeing that Li Gu was not on the road, Lao Feng Dao could only cough twice, "Alas, the old man is not in good health, his energy is not as good as before, and he can't do anything, this matter involves the champion Hou, you better go to King Jin to get an idea!" ”
"King Jin!"
Li Gu was overjoyed, how could he forget Chai Rong!
What a damn thing!
If King Jin is willing to come forward, he can naturally suppress Ye Hua, and he can also persuade His Majesty that it is much more useful to find him than to find Feng Dao. Li Gu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and left in a hurry.
Lao Feng smiled secretly in his heart.
This Li Gu is really on fire, the old man told you, dispose of the Zhang family, take the Kong family out, and the matter will be over.
But you have to protect it to the end, and you don't know how to make trade-offs at all.
Not to mention Ye Hua, even Wang Pu can't agree.
As for looking for King Jin, it is guaranteed to be another nose of ash.
Chai Rong was engaged in business in his early years, and later joined the army, he had no good opinion of Confucian scholars at all, he just used them, and he would never be truly convinced.
And with Chai Rong's situation, he is different from ordinary princes.
Normally, an emperor who is heavy on military force will often have a prince who is heavy on literature, and the combination of rigidity and softness, and the harmony of water and fire, can make the empire last for a long time...... But Chai Rong can't do it, he can't go against Guo Wei at all, since His Majesty didn't go to worship Confucius, the meaning is already very clear, Chai Rong is still stupid to protect the Confucian family and buy Wenchen, isn't that causing trouble for himself!
Chai Rong will only be more ruthless than Guo Wei!
And voila!
Feng Dao pondered for a while, and immediately ordered to go down, announcing to the outside world that he was sick, and he was very sick, and whoever came to visit would be blocked.
Feng Taishi completely loaded the salted fish.
Speaking of Li Gu, Xing Chongchong found Chai Rong and briefly explained the matter, but His Royal Highness the King of Jin not only did not agree to help, but also sank his face.
"Li Xianggong, you are in charge of the three divisions, for the country's financial management, my father has issued a decree from last year, to implement the granting of land in various places, let me ask you, where is the worst?"
Li Gu was embarrassed, "Yes, it's Yanju, Jeju, Cheongju, Dengju and other places." ”
"That's right!" Chai Rong said with a straight face: "Why can't these places be pushed? In a word, it is the opposition of the local heroes, and among the local heroes, the Qufu Confucian family is the mainstay! Obstructing the national policy and daring to kill the official is tantamount to rebellion and rebellion! Such a big crime, if you don't deal with it, you actually want to shelter, Li Xianggong, where do you put my Da Zhou's law? How do you let the imperial court govern the world in the future, and how can you convince the people? ”
Chai Rong showed no mercy, and didn't dare to sit still when Li Gu said, his sideburns were sweating.
"Your Highness, the old minister is guilty, but the old minister is worried, worried that this matter will damage the reputation of the saint, and also destroy the court's good intentions of attaching importance to scholars......"
Chai Rong waved his hand impatiently, "Since you are a scholar, you must first be reasonable, you must know right and wrong, and you can't blindly connive at it." Wang Xianggong and Champion Hou are both people who know how to measure, and your political affairs hall immediately ordered them to thoroughly investigate this case, and they must be ironclad and able to stand the test. ”
Chai Rong's words completely broke off everyone's thoughts, and this case couldn't be suppressed.
Li Gu had mixed tastes, and he had no choice but to tell Fan Zhen and ask him to give orders to Wang Pu and Ye Hua.
The people in the capital were nervous.
Don't know where things will go?
As for Ye Hua, he was not idle.
Xu Xianling died, and Hong joined the army as well.
But they have been fighting with the Kong family for so long, can they leave nothing behind?
Ye Hua went out to investigate everywhere.
Not to mention, he found Hong's uncle who joined the army, this old man is seventy-six years old, many years ago, he once served as a assassin, and later he was not used to the darkness of officialdom, so he resigned and went home.
Hong joined the army because of the influence of this old man, acted upright and diligently, and was valued by Xu County's order and cited as a confidant.
Xu Xianling was killed, and it was also Hong Senjun who sent the blood letter to the Dengzhou prefect through his relationship, which alarmed Guo Wei, and finally sent two Qin messengers to ......
"Elder Hong, Hong joined the army and was killed, I am very sad, his revenge cannot be avenged, and any murderer who killed him will have to pay the price!"
Old man Hong had a gloomy face and asked, "What price?" ”
"Kill to pay for your life, pay off your debts!" Ye Hua said categorically!
"Do you dare to kill?"
Ye Hua pointed to his nose, "I can even kill the Khitan Emperor, do I care about the so-called descendants of saints?" ”
Old man Hong looked at Ye Hua with a look of surprise in his eyes!
He raised his head and laughed, "The old man almost forgot, the champion Hou is the young hero of my Da Zhou, but ...... If you do this, you will be the enemy of the scholars of the world! Sooner or later, they'll have to settle accounts with you! ”
"Hahaha!" This time it was Ye Hua's turn to laugh, "Hong Lao is a scholar, Hong Senjun is also a scholar, and Xu County Order is even more a scholar!" You scholars, will you be my enemy? ”
Old man Hong was stunned for a long time, and old tears flowed down.
"Alas, Champion Hou, we are all honest people, not useful! No, they were all killed, if it weren't for the champion Hou finding the old decay, I'm afraid I'm also dead! ”
Ye Hua smiled: "Old Hong, I won't say useless words, just ask the old gentleman, do you trust Ye Hua?" ”
Old man Hong smiled, "Except for the champion Hou, who else can the old man trust!" ”
He lowered his head, raised his sleeves, tore the thread on it hard, took out a silk book from it, and put it in front of Ye Hua.
"This is my nephew who found out with his life, Xu Xianling died, and he knew that he would not live long, so he secretly gave it to me. This records how many acres of land in Qufu fell into their hands after Kong Renyu returned to take charge of the Kong family, please take a look at the champion! ”
Ye Hua grabbed the silk book, looked at it carefully, and calculated silently while reading, and in the end, Ye Hua was so angry that he slapped the table!
"100,000 acres of land! Kong Renyu is really able to act! ”
Hong Lao smiled, "This only flows into the hands of the slaves of the Kong family, and as for the Zhang family, it is several times more!" Kong Renyu only has 300 acres of thin fields on the surface, wears vinegar clothes, eats coarse grains, and is the same as a farmer, but behind the scenes, how much industry he still has, I'm afraid that even he doesn't know it! ”
"Shuo Rat, Shuo Mouse, Kong Family, and the Zhang Family behind it, are the biggest Shuo Rats!"
