Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 553 Cai Jing panicked!Two more!
Song Huizong already knew their crimes, and they were a little panicked, but they still opposed this matter and did not panic.

However, they panicked when they heard Wu Zhi say that the new law should be implemented without the establishment of the Secretary of Government Affairs!

Because they have no reason to refute.

Didn't you say that you were afraid that Wu Zhi would take control of the Central Plains and rebel if his power became stronger?
Good guy, Wu Zhi won't set up a government affairs department anymore.

He didn't give everyone this excuse, but not establishing it doesn't mean the new law can't be implemented?
Not to mention anything else, as long as the good land is taken back to the state, there is no need for the Secretary of State Affairs, and it can kill many officials' money sources and make them bankrupt.

Isn't it easy to find a way to get a batch down?
Wu Zhi didn't have any confidence in this, so what kind of new method should he come up with, just go home and forget it.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, especially Mr. Wang, were dumbfounded. This... the new law will continue without the establishment of the Department of Government Affairs?

"Your Majesty, since Prime Minister Wu doesn't want to establish a Department of Administrative Affairs, why not simply stop the new law and not implement it in the Central Plains?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think it's better not to implement this new law in the Central Plains. Liao, Xixia, and Yanyun are enough. After all, that side is not yet mature! In case there are hidden disadvantages, we are fine." Deal with it!"

Zhao Shu and others said again.

Song Huizong: "Didn't it be agreed last year that this year Yanyun's taxation effect is good, so he established a government affairs department in the Central Plains to implement the new law. This year Wu Aiqing has achieved such results, and all the loves have regretted it?"

"..." Cai Jing, Zhao Shu, Huang Chuan, Shen Wei and others looked helpless.

It's okay not to go back on your word!
If you don't regret it, they will all be played by Wu Zhi.

At that time, they just talked and knew that they still had a chance, but now they really have no chance.

Judging from Song Huizong's attitude and current achievements, I'm afraid it can't be stopped.

After all, they lost this time.

If you lose, you have no right to speak.

Zhao Shu hurriedly answered, "Okay! Since Prime Minister Wu doesn't want to establish a government affairs department, this son-in-law agrees that as long as he doesn't establish a government affairs department, the new law... can be implemented."

Zhao Shu knew that the situation was beyond their control, and there was no point in regretting it.

I simply agreed.

Because he doesn't know how to continue, if the emperor loses his temper and the Secretary of Government Affairs will be established, then even if he becomes the prince in the future, the prince will probably become a puppet.He doesn't want to do that.

The new laws of the Central Plains can be implemented, but the general power must still be in the hands of the Zhao family.

Most of the civil and military officials are still in power. If Wu Zhi is to establish a government affairs department to replace them, it will be over.

Song Huizong shook his head: "No, since the result of last year's bet has been announced, I must fulfill my promise, Wu Zhi, the Secretary of Government Affairs, I allow you to build it!"

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "I think it's okay for the Secretary of State Affairs! You ministers disagree, this matter is important, and the humble minister has to avoid suspicion. It's better not to disturb the system. The new law can be implemented!"

In fact, Wu Zhi didn't care at all whether to establish a government department immediately. Anyway, Xixia, Liao, and Yanyun already had a team. As long as the new law can be implemented here, he will be satisfied.

Because of the new law, it means that Wu Zhi can punish this group of people. When they step down, the court will not be all his people.

What's the difference.

Wu Zhi said a few more words, but Song Huizong didn't insist on seeing this.I agree.

The next thing is simple.

If the Secretary of Government Affairs is not established, the new law will still have to be implemented.

When Song Huizong issued the imperial edict, almost [-]% of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were downcast.

Although Zhao Shu didn't want to, he had to.

"I let this bastard get away with it!" Wang Zhizhou from the south had a fat head and big ears, but now he was angry, his whole face turned into a pig's head, and his eyes were wide open.

Because once this decision is made, it is equivalent to depriving him of tens of thousands of acres of land, how can he be reconciled!

He glanced at the side face of Wu Zhi, who was so beautiful in the court hall. Wu Zhi was very young, and it was this young man who ruined the interests of their great Song scholar-bureaucrats.

It is extremely difficult to do such a thing, but Wu Zhi, a young man, did it.

You know, Wang Anshi's reforms failed in the past, and they couldn't resist the opposition of the scholar-bureaucrats in the world.

Now that so many of them stand up, Zhao Shu and other princes strongly oppose it, but they can't stand against Wu Zhi alone.

They have a sense of failure!

So much so that Wang Zhizhou glared at Wu Zhi with both eyes, just when Wu Zhi turned around and saw Master Wang's face.

His face remained unchanged, but he was smiling in his heart. Wu Zhi knew what this man was doing in the south.

Ordinary officials would not stare openly in front of the prime minister unless they had no other choice, or if they hated to the extreme. Although Mr. Wang quickly withdrew his eyes, Wu Zhi noticed.

Wu Zhi smiled, and soon this person felt better, so he ignored it.

The new law has been under study since last year, and it was only successful this year. Wu Zhi was relieved.

Li Gefei, Wang Wei and others behind him admired Wu Zhi very much.

This is no less than one person fighting against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

In the past, Zeng Bu had a high prestige in the court, but he couldn't resist Cai Jing, let alone the combined forces of all scholar-bureaucrats.

Wu Zhi did it.

He directly deprived these officials of their benefits, and hated them to death, but the few people around Wu Zhi were a little excited.

They are both scholar-bureaucrats, and they also lost their interests, but compared to those corrupt officials, they are insignificant, and in the future the reform of the new law will need people, and Wu Zhi's people will naturally not be bad, even if they lose some small profits, they will naturally be there. Make up for other aspects.

now.

Everyone thought it was over.

Wu Zhi said: "Your Majesty, the new law has been implemented. I have one more thing to do!"

"Wu Aiqing, please tell me!"

"My minister heard that this time the southern officials are forcibly expropriating the people, and the people's fat and people's ointment they seized are used as taxes. They have made fake accounts!"

"The people in the south are in dire straits. Wang He, headed by one of the magistrates in the south, channeled a group of southern officials to rob the local people of food and money. That's why they raised their taxes a lot this year, but it also angered the people in the south. The grievances are deep, if this matter is not handled properly, it may cause a civil uprising!"

Wu Zhi didn't talk nonsense, anyway, he communicated with Song Huizong before, after all such a big matter, his shadow spread all over the Song Dynasty, it is impossible not to know the news.

Others can't bring down Lord Wang, but it's a piece of cake for Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi: "These officials must be severely punished to quell the anger of the people, so that the people in the south can live in peace, otherwise, if they make trouble, it will be detrimental to the Song Dynasty!"

The fight was fierce just now, so I didn't say anything about it for a while, but at this moment, Mr. Wang was still very flustered when he saw Wu Zhi pointing the finger at him.

"Your Majesty, someone must have framed this matter, there is no such thing!"

Mr. Wang quibbled.

Now there is no physical evidence, so it is difficult to deal with.

Some regulations still need to go.

Song Huizong: "Wu Aiqing, is there any evidence for the things you said?"

Song Huizong would often gather and drink with Wu Zhi, and he had known these things for a long time.

"no!"

"But don't worry, Your Majesty, this matter will be handed over to the minister. Just in time for the new law reform, the minister can also go to the south to see the situation, and handle this matter by the way!"

"Well, I will leave this matter to you! As for the progress of the new law, the six ministries will fully cooperate with you. This time, we will find out all about the occupation of fertile land by officials from all over the country!"

The reform of the new law requires investigation of the family property of officials, which will reflect the illegal behavior of many officials.

It is impossible to ignore these, and they must be investigated in accordance with the laws of the Song Dynasty.

This is why many officials are afraid.

After receiving the order, Wu Zhi glanced at Mr. Wang, who was trembling all over, with cold sweat on his face, knowing that he was done.

Cai Jing rolled his eyes, knowing that this matter could not be changed. If the court really wanted to implement the new law, it would have to thoroughly investigate their family property and farmland. He has a lot in this regard!
If it is found out, how can I explain it myself?

Cai Jing was a little anxious, he hated Wu Zhi to death.

This man is too cruel.

But he is looking for a way out now!

Cai Jing suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I want to tell Your Majesty some good news!"

"What good news?" Song Huizong sat on the chair, a little curious.

He likes to hear good news.

Cai Jing: "Long Live Mountain has been completed for more than two years, just yesterday!"

"Oh? That's great!" Song Huizong was overjoyed when he heard the news.

"I'm going to have a look!"

"Your Majesty, there is still some finishing work to be done on the Long Live Mountain project. In order for His Majesty to better see the scenery of Long Live Mountain, I suggest you wait a few more days!"

"This...Cai Aiqing, isn't this playing tricks on me?"

"No, no, I dare not, I just want to add another happy event to make His Majesty happy with today's lucrative taxation!"

"Well, I'm looking forward to the completion of Long Live Mountain. I've been waiting for two years, so it doesn't matter if I wait longer. When the time comes, I will paint the scenery of Long Live Mountain myself and record the beautiful scenery."...

Backwards.

This year's events have stirred the emotions of many courtiers.

Even after retreating, they were still in a panic.

Wu Zhi was on his way back.

Cai Jing came after him: "Mr. Wu, wait."

"Oh? Master Cai?" Wu Zhi turned around and smiled.

Cai Jing is still a little older, maybe because he is old, there are too many wives and concubines in his family, or because he is afraid of this reform, he is already sweating profusely after running two steps.

Very false...

Cai Jing tried his best to force a smile: "Mr. Wu has also seen the new law, and the old man didn't say a word! There is no objection."

Wu Zhi: "But there is no support either!"

"Eh..." Cai Jing was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Wu, it's not easy to support such a big event. There are many courtiers behind me who are on the same boat. They object, but I support it. It's not easy to be a prime minister in the future. After all, I will Can you also report some news about them to Minister Wu?"

Wu Zhi: "You didn't provide me with any information about the incident in the south this time! It was found by the truth."

"..."

"Master Wu, this old man can't help himself!"

"Okay! I don't blame you for this! Tell me what you have to say!" Wu Zhi knew that Cai Jing was the biggest left minister in the court, and as long as he didn't speak out, it was his greatest support.

Or it is the biggest compromise for him.

If he hadn't grasped the handle of Longevity Mountain, Cai Jing wouldn't be like this.

"Today, the old man advanced the report on the construction of Longevity Mountain, just hoping to make a good impression in front of His Majesty."

Cai Jing looked around and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wu, you also know that it is impossible for us officials to have no clue. This time the new law is implemented, I have a lot of fertile land under my hands. It is fine to pay it, but if your majesty pursues it , this...so please ask Prime Minister Wu to help this old man suppress this matter."
