Chapter 516: The Right to Speak II
Seeing Wu Haogu's anxious expression, Pan Xiao'an and Gao Yu glanced at each other and laughed.
"Dalang, don't be afraid." Gao Yu said with a smile, "Although Lu Benzhi has become a filial son, there will be no progress in thoroughly investigating the case of the fire in the state camp." ”
Pan Xiao'an also said firmly: "Don't look at the current Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion is a member of the New Party, but what's the use of this? Guo Zhizhang, an old scholar in Jizhou, knows how to solve the case? Don't you have to rely on the ordinary officials of Kaifeng Mansion to catch fast? Those are all mixed characters...... Who still doesn't know how deep the water is in this case? Definitely pretending to be confused. ”
Gao Yu also laughed: "Actually, the Kaifeng Mansion knows that Da Lang is the mastermind behind the scenes...... You are the number one celebrity in front of the official family, who is tired of coming to check you? It's no good to find out, and maybe it will kill people. ”
Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, this is indeed the case. The prefect of Kaifeng Mansion can't do it for long, and Guo Zhizhang is the same. If the people below fool him for a few months and a year, he should get out, and those officials will have to live a quick life.
Not to mention provoking traitors like Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an and Gao Yu, even Zhou Tong of the Royal Boxing Gym didn't want to provoke ...... How many men in the forbidden army can fight are other people's apprentices and grandchildren, you just let Nanxia Zhanzhao in the play come to check, and beat them so much that Bao Qingtian didn't know them.
Wu Haogu frowned deeply, "What does the official family think?" ”
As he spoke, the voice of the arhat maid came from outside the door, and then he saw the golden bottle of the arhat maid and the two of them each bringing in a large plate of wine and food.
"There's no need to wait here," Wu Haogu said, "Luohan, you go outside to replace Olga, don't let people come close." ”
When Wu Haogu had a secret conversation with Gao Yu and Pan Xiao'an, of course someone was watching outside the door, it was Wu Haogu's most confidant Paladin Olga. However, Olga was already pregnant, and she had to rest more, so Wu Haogu asked Luohan to replace Olga.
The two girls set up the food and drinks and turned to leave. Gao Yu picked up a pot of Dingyao wine jug filled with wine immortals, poured wine for himself, and said with a smile: "The official family doesn't have time to think about such a trivial matter of killing people and setting fires now. ”
"Oh? What was he thinking? ”
Pan Xiao'an and Gao Yu glanced at each other, they both laughed, and Pan Xiao'an said: "The official family is thinking about Queen Yuanfu." ”
"Yuan Fu...... Empress? ”
Wu Haogu was a little dumbfounded, "Isn't Empress Yuanfu the sister-in-law of the official family?" ”
"yes!" Gao Yu smiled strangely, "It's still a sister-in-law......"
Pan Xiao'an's brows were already wrinkled, "Da Lang, in fact, the two of us are here for this." The murder and arson are nothing compared to this! ”
Wu Haogu smiled bitterly and nodded, for Zhao Ji, where is it more important for someone to kill people and set fire in Kaifeng Mansion than to comfort the beautiful sister-in-law who is young and widowed?
It's just that it won't take much time for this clear stream to talk about it, and it's time to criticize itself...... How good is a villain who serves the country and the people, how can he stink? That's not going to work!
Wu Haogu took his mind back and began to discuss serious matters with Pan Xiao'an and Gao Yu, "Does the official family want to drive Empress Meng out of the palace and give Empress Liu the title of Queen Mother?" ”
Pan Xiao'an and Gao Yu's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Pan Xiao'an gave a thumbs up, "It's still Da Lang, you know the thoughts of the official family!" ”
"yes!" Gao Yu also said, "Brother Eleven and I have not been able to understand this matter for many days, and we only got words yesterday when we inspected the project at the Qionglin Yuan Escort Officer's house, but I didn't expect you to guess it as soon as you guessed." ”
Is this still a guess? Wu Haogu has seen many historical records about Song Huizong in later generations, including the abolition of Empress Yuanyou (this Empress Meng was deposed twice, and then made a comeback twice, the latter time was Zhang Bangchangli) and Empress Liyuanfu as the empress dowager - it turned out that the truth was actually Zhao Ji and his own imperial sister-in-law got involved......
Pan Xiao'an asked: "Da Lang, you have a lot of ways, and you have some ideas for the official family, how to do these two big things." ”
Wu Haogu frowned when he heard this, "I think both Xianggong Zeng and Xianggong Han will not agree to this, right?" ”
Sending Empress Meng out of the palace, Han Zhongyan must be against it. Empress Meng is inclined to the old party, and it was the late Empress Dowager Xiang who took her back from the Yaohua Palace (Taoist Temple) to become the queen. How long has the Empress Dowager been dead now? Why did Zhao Ji turn his face and not recognize people?
As for the matter of Empress Liu being the queen mother, it will be even more chaotic, and it is estimated that even Zeng Bu will oppose it.
The queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty can only be the emperor's mother, and there has never been a sister-in-law to be the queen mother. And Empress Liu is only twenty-three this year, and she is a stunning beauty...... was suddenly established by Zhao Ji as the queen mother, even a fool knew that Zhao Ji was cuckolding Emperor Zhezong!
Besides, even if Zhao Ji comforts Empress Liu's body and mind despite his hard work, he doesn't need to give the name of the Queen Mother. How can anyone who is the emperor have nothing to do to find a queen mother for himself? Isn't this making yourself uncomfortable?
"The two prime ministers will definitely not agree!" Pan Xiao'an also frowned, "So the official family is also very embarrassed!" Dalang, do you have a solution? ”
"How?" Wu Haogu frowned bitterly, "Let me think about it." ”
The second abolition of Empress Meng and Empress Dowager Liliu are all stupid things that Zhao Ji has done in history! It would have been achieved without Wu Haogu's wasted strength, so Wu Haogu was not thinking about these two things.
What really gives him a headache is that he can't be smeared as a traitor! Why do they all think that the fire in the camp in the north of the state was set by themselves? Is there a credential for this? You can't wronged the villain!
In addition, it is also a problem to have the right to speak so that a group of civil officials who were born as jinshi firmly grasp it...... What a terrible thing to say!
However, it is not without a little resistance on his side, isn't the magazine "Wenqu Xing" used to fight for the right to speak?
"Eleven, Brother Gao," Wu Haogu suddenly looked solemnly at the two in front of him, "Although the official family is rich all over the world, he can't do whatever he wants, he is a holy monarch and a benevolent monarch, so he has to take into account the mouth of the world." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"That's it!"
Pan Xiao'an and Gao Yu nodded again and again.
Wu Haogu then said: "And the mouth of the world grows on the head of a scholar, right? Those heroes who are famous outside the Donghua Gate say a word, and they are worthy of 10,000 words from ordinary people, right? ”
"That's right!"
"The officials are just worried that they will oppose it."
Wu Haogu smiled: "Then you have to fight!" ”
"What's the end?"
"Fight for the right to speak!" Wu Hao Ancient Road, "Fight for the mouth of the world!" ”
"How to fight?"
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Of course, it's to fight for current affairs books and periodicals such as "Wenqu Xing" magazine!" ”
Although Wenqu Xing magazine was also an album at the beginning, it has developed to the present, especially after the current affairs forum in Wenqu Xing magazine, this magazine is evolving into a newspaper.
However, Wu Haogu did not let "Wenqu Xing" take the most critical step, because he was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Zhao Ji to support "Wenqu Xing" magazine to become a newspaper.
And the second abolition of Empress Meng and Empress Dowager Liliu is obviously the time that Wu Haogu has to wait!
The next day, in the afternoon.
Wu Haogu, Gao Yu, and Pan Xiao'an appeared in the Yanfu Palace, which was located outside the palace wall on the west side of the palace. Yanfu Palace is actually a "park" for the emperor and queen to play, the area is not large (in history, Song Huizong built a new Yanfu Palace in the north of the imperial city), and it looks a little old. However, it is still more elegant and comfortable than the main body of the palace, and after the death of the Empress Dowager Xiang, Song Huizong opened up a residence here, and often came here with Empress Liu to study art......
Because Yanfu Palace does not belong to the harem, Wu Haogu, Gao Yu and Pan Xiao'an, the three villains with the status of "bringing the emperor", can enter at any time, and they can also carry weapons - their "belt royal" is not a name, but a real one.
On a pavilion that could overlook the scenery on both sides of the Jinshui River in the inner city of Kaifeng Mansion, Wu Haogu saw Zhao Ji, a Song official dressed as a scholar. Before he could bow down, Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "There is only Zhao Xiaoyi today, so there is no need to worship." ”
"Wu Dalang is polite." Wu Haogu still sang a song. Pan Xiao'an and Gao Yu also saluted Zhao Ji in the same way as Wu Haogu - both of them were a little jealous in their hearts. They only have this kind of treatment thanks to the blessing of Wu Haogu!
"Da Lang," Zhao Ji beckoned to Wu Haogu and asked him to stand beside him, and then pointed to the Liangmen in the southwest and said, "There is a Tongwen Pavilion outside the Liangmen, which is a pavilion to receive the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom, I want to move it outside the city, and the land will be sold to you for 500,000 yuan." ”
This is Zhao Ji wants to compensate for Wu Haogu's "loss" in Cangzhou.
Wu Haogu replied with a smile: "500,000 is too little, let's pay 1 million...... In addition, the mess in the military camp in the north of the state also cleaned up for His Majesty. ”
"A million?" Zhao Ji looked back at Wu Haogu with a smile, "Da Lang, you have lost 700,000 yuan in Cangzhou!" ”
"Didn't the minister pay compensation?" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Didn't Your Majesty want the minister to raise the Jiehe City Shipping Division, and then use the Boundary River City Shipping Division's purchase income to fill this hole?" ”
"That's not enough for 700,000."
"That's enough," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "The ministers have calculated, as long as the ministers have full authority to run the city, the 700,000 yuan can still be turnover." ”
"That's 700,000!"
Wu Haogu laughed: "There's really no problem, the minister will do business...... If you want to say that you can earn 700,000 yuan a year with the city, you can't do it. However, if you want to use the city ship division to turn around, and free up 700,000 yuan a year, the minister can do it, and only ask His Majesty to allow the Jiehe City ship division to export weapons to the Goryeo country. ”
"Exporting weapons to Goryeo?" Zhao Ji asked, "Is the arms trade very profitable?" ”
"Naturally, it is earned," Wuhao Gudao said, "and it can also be used to take advantage of the payment of the Koreans." ”
"Occupy ...... Payment? ”
"It's credit and advances." Wu Haogu explained, "The export of weapons is unique, and the Goryeo people can only obey the rules of the ministers. In this way, the minister will be able to account for their hundreds of thousands of goods and fill the hole in Cangzhou. ”
