Chapter 521: The Right to Speak VII
June 11, the General Department.
The sky was beautiful, and a timely thunderstorm slightly dispelled the scorching heat that had shrouded Kaifeng Mansion for many days.
The rain fell heavily, but it didn't last long, but it still caused many places of water to accumulate in the narrow and crowded Kaifeng City. The streets and alleys of Kaifeng Mansion, which is already full of potholes, are full of puddles, but even if there are some puddles, the streets of Kaifeng Mansion are still full of traffic after the rain.
It was past noon, and after discussing government affairs in the public hall of the political affairs hall, Han Zhongyan and Zeng Bu and other important ministers got up one after another and walked into a side room next to the public hall.
On the table, lunch has been set up, very simple, rice, steamed buns, plus a few meat and vegetarian side dishes.
There are a total of six people who are discussing in the political hall today, namely Han Zhongyan, Zeng Bu, Fan Chunli, Xu Jiang, Li Qingchen and Wen Yi. There are only two members of the old party and four members of the new party.
Behind the era name of "Jianzhong Yasukuni", it seems that Song Huizong's ambition to inherit his father and brother's Yu Lie is still hidden.
However, the New Party, which has the advantage in the number of rulers, has recently been at a disadvantage in the struggle for government because of internal divisions. Not only did he lose a general like Lu Jiawen, but he also lost in two struggles involving important military affairs, such as the "Imperial Knights" and the "Trial Soldiers" - in today's Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Ji agreed to Fan Chunli's performance, and set the "final number" of the imperial knights at 1,000, and at the same time allocated enough money to buy 300,000 acres of land and handed it over to the Cangzhou Prefecture Ya and Jiehe City Bo Division.
In addition, among the three main officials in charge of the trial government soldiers, the old party accounted for two, namely Li Gefei of Quan Zhi Jingzhao Prefecture and Wu Haowen of Quan Fa sent to Lantian County. And the New Party only Ji Yi was selected.
Because the New Party has always won the trust of the king by enriching the country and strengthening the army, it has lost one after another on the two battlefields of "knights" and "government soldiers", which made Zeng Bu, the leader of the New Party, feel very worried. If the old party can solve the problem of enriching the country and strengthening the army, then what use is the new party?
What worries him even more is the split within the New Party. Unlike the old party, which was a harmonious group, the struggle within the new party has always been fierce, and it was divided into several factions when Wang Anshi was alive. Now there are even more mountains, and several bigwigs are all staring at the throne in the political hall.
Zeng Bu took advantage of the fall of Zhang Dian and easily defeated Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Zhang Shangying, Jian Xuchen, and others who were close to Zhang Tun, which further intensified the contradictions within the New Party. And Cai Jing's recent rise is equivalent to giving the lost "Zhangdun series" a new leader......
Zeng Bu, who was in some internal and external difficulties, sat down after he switched to the desk, and was about to eat indiscriminately, but found a roll of paper on the side.
He frowned, picked it up and opened it, but what caught his eyes was a column of bold and black characters: Wenqu Xingxun News. Underneath these four words, there are a few lines of small print, which read, "The sound of the wind, the sound of rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear; Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned". It's supposed to be a couplet, and it's pretty neat. On the right side of the couplet is the date, the first year of the founding of Yasukuni, June 11, the great heat.
Zeng Bu looked at it and immediately sneered.
"Zixuan, what are you laughing at?"
The one who speaks is Wen Yi, who likes to gloat, although he is a new party, but the color is not strong, and he is still a lackey of Zhao Ji himself, so he is a kind character in the political hall.
Zeng Bu raised the newspaper in his hand, "Wu Haogu is really going to do something, the suspicion of the arson case in the northern camp of the state has not been cleared a few days ago, and now he has made this Laoshizi Wenqu Xing Xun report...... I don't know how to put it in the political hall! ”
Wen Yi heard this and laughed, "This is the inaugural issue of "Wenqu Xingxun News", and people are sending it everywhere on the streets of Kaifeng Mansion. ”
It turned out that Wen Yi brought it!
Zeng Bu frowned again, he knew that this Wen Yi and that Cai Jing had a good relationship with Wu Haogu - these two guys didn't have the unanimous external consciousness of the New Party at all!
However, Zeng Bu is not easy to say anything, the general is now also a deputy minister, and he is also a confidant of the official family.
In addition, Zhao Tingzhi had already told Zeng Bu about the change of ownership of "Wenqu Xing...... Now the owner of "Wenqu Xing" is Kaifeng Buyi Zhao Xiaoyi, which is a bigger existence than Wang Fa. And it makes people have no way to start rectifying it, if this "Wenqu Xing" is openly hung under Zhao Ji's name, then there will always be one of the yamen who can manage the Inner Serving Province, the Inner Serving Province, and the Hanlin Academy (not the Hanlin Academy).
But it's Zhao Xiaoyi...... Although everyone knows that Zhao Xiaoyi is Zhao Ji, as long as Zhao Ji does not admit it in the court, this matter will not be easy to do.
So Zeng Bu said that after finishing speaking, he still opened the newspaper and read it, and he didn't even care about eating.
"Huh?"
Zeng Bu's face changed suddenly, but his gaze froze.
At this time, he was flipping through the second page, and it was indeed an interview article about the fire in the northern camp of the state!
The article describes the process of the fire in the northern camp of the state in the form of market language and questions and answers. Including the intimidation and difficulties of the previous officials of Taifu Temple, the process of fighting between the two sides at the time of the incident, the process of breaking through the back door of the camp, the process of igniting the fire and the process of fighting the fire, and the process of Lu Benzhi being arrested.
Although the text is crude, the course of events narrated is very detailed! Moreover, it seems that there is not only one person interviewed by the "recorder" of the so-called "Wenqu Xingxun Bao", but more than a dozen people, all of whom have real names, and they are all old people living in the military camp in the north of the state.
Although the course of the incident they dictated was fragmentary, when put together, the whole incident became clear at a glance - that is, the demolition did not lead to the use of force, and the use of force caused a fire...... Although it was not intentional arson, the responsibility was undoubtedly that Lu Jia asked his father and son!
In addition, in this interview, it also tells the story of Zhou Da, a filial son who jumped out of the attic of the burning house with his octogenarian father on his back and broke his right leg...... This Zhou Da and his father Zhou Laohan were homeless because their houses were burned, and they once begged for food in the north of the state, until not long ago when Wanjia Real Estate took over the military camp in the north of the state, they took them to live in the three-story tube building next to the Republic Building, and also arranged an errand for Zhou Da to watch the door in the Republic Building to make ends meet.
In the interview, Zhou Da's father Zhou Laohan also cried that his "filial son who saved his father is not asked", he is more than forty years old because he has no house and no money, and he can't even marry a wife, which is really pitiful, if it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of the martial arts officials, his father and son would have died of hunger!
After this interview, the "recorder" also interviewed Qu Huajie, the chief treasurer of Wanjiaxing, who took over the demolition work of Beidaying, and Huang Shusheng (Huang Wulang), the general capital. In the same question-and-answer format and vulgar language, Qu Huajie and Huang Shusheng respectively introduced the compensation plan for the "demolition of the military camp in the north of the state" and the construction arrangements for the project.
Different from the previous method of Taifu Temple, Wanjiaxing recognized the "permanent residency rights" owned by the residents in the military camp in the north of the state, and was willing to compensate with the property rights of "original demolition and original construction".
In other words, residents living there, as long as they are willing to move out temporarily, can get at least one room "tube building" after the construction of the project is completed. And it's free, and it's owned!
Considering the location of the military camp in the north of the state (much better than the Fengqiumen project done by Wanjia Real Estate before), the value of the "one-room household" is at least 1,500 yuan! For the common people of Kaifeng Mansion, this is also a huge amount of money.
Moreover, Wanjia Real Estate did not take out one set or two sets to compensate, but took out more than 200 sets in one go, including "one-room households" and more expensive "two-room households", and the total cost was probably not less than 500,000 yuan!
According to Huang Wulang, after the land of the military camp in the north of the state is resettled, a maximum of 200 units of "two-room households" and 60 shops can be built. Among them, 200 sets of "two-room households" will be delivered to the temple division free of charge, and the remaining 60 shops will be sold by Wanjiaxing to compensate for the construction costs, and it is expected that after the completion of the entire project, there will be tens of thousands of dollars.
Obviously, these two interviews are ill-intentioned! On the one hand, it is necessary to discredit the late filial son Lu Benzhi, and to wash away Wu Haogu, the mastermind behind the scenes; On the one hand, it is necessary to use a set of demolition plans that benefit the people to whitewash the profiteer Wu Haogu!
It is conceivable that those Diao people who have no house to live in Kaifeng Mansion will definitely provoke the thumb brother to praise the good old benevolence and righteousness after seeing these two interviews.
Even the students in the Guozi Prison may change their views on the "fire in the military camp in the north of the state" and the profiteer Wu Haogu......
"It's still ten thousand guilds doing business!"
In this room dedicated to the dining of the deacons, there are still others watching these two interviews, and I don't know who sighed.
Zeng Bu suddenly sobered up, picked up the newspaper, stood up sharply and walked out.
"Zixuan, you have to leave before you eat this meal?" I don't know who shouted again.
"I'm going out for a walk, and I'll take a leave of absence in the afternoon."
"But there are still a lot of ......"
Before the man could finish speaking, Zeng Bu had already hurried out of the room. Then Li Qingchen, who had just bowed to his servant, also stood up and nodded at Han Zhongyan: "Shi Pu, I'll go see Zeng Zixuan." ”
He is Han Zhongyan's brother-in-law, but he is the general of the New Party, and he is a sworn enemy with the Ersu brothers. Just now he was also watching the interview on "Wenqu Xingxun Daily", of course, he knew that these two interviews were not simple!
Therefore, he had to discuss with Zeng Bu, An Tao, and Zhao Tingzhi, the core generals of the new party, how to deal with it.
At the same time, Han Zhongyan and Fan Chunli's faces were also not very good-looking. Because they have just finished watching the interview on "Wenqu Xingxun"! Although they are not a new party and have nothing to do with this mess in the North State Barracks, the two of them still found a problem...... Very serious problem!
