MTL - I’m Against the World-Chapter 56 I am loyal to my emperor 7 not to be loyal to the monarch, but only for the country...
Qin Yilan's statement was in line with the new emperor's will.
The tremor in the court hall lasted for half a year and it has not subsided.
To be beheaded in the autumn, the one-year death row inmates gathered together and beheaded, Gao Shigong was about to go to the execution ground, and Qin Yilan went to see him off.
After being imprisoned for several months, Gao Shigong, a handsome and elegant household official, also showed a bit of embarrassment.
Accepting the wine handed over by Qin Yilan, Gao Shigong raised his brows and said slowly: "Since King Qin ascended the throne, we have been suppressed many times by our old ministers from the period of the late emperor, and you are the first to bear the brunt of Xie Nian. , was dismissed from the Ministry of Works Heavenly Official as the sixth-rank principal."
"If Brother Xie Nian thinks that it is inappropriate for me to cast money in private, just say hello, the younger brother will surely respect the knowledge, why should Brother Nian keep silent and kill them all?"
"Even if the younger brother is guilty, what's wrong with Elder Chen Ge? When Brother Xie Nian ruled the Yellow River, if Elder Chen Ge was not there to support and supervise the management of money and food, how could Brother Xie Nian come to make such a great contribution?"
"Brother Xie Nian put all the love and morality behind him, thinking that he was only loyal to the new emperor? Ha ha ha, brother Xie Nian, brother Xie Nian, loyal to the minister , Die filial piety for your son, even if you change your ways, you are still the second minister, how can the new emperor be willing to use it for you? You are making a big mistake in this step."
Gao Shigong was accused of casting private money. At the beginning of this dynasty, Tai | Ancestor promoted paper money "treasure banknotes". Later, Emperor Cheng folded silver with banknotes, and silver became a currency in circulation. These two Under this monetary policy, copper coins were rarely minted in this dynasty.
However, both "treasure banknotes" and silver are only suitable for large-scale transactions of goods, and small private transactions still require copper coins to circulate. As a result, more Tang and Song coins circulated among the people.
There is a huge shortage of copper plates on the market, and a large number of lawbreakers began to mint money privately. This dynasty was the most serious dynasty in history.
In this big environment, Gao Shigong didn't think his fault was serious at all. Qin Yilan's complaint was purely a flattery to show his loyalty to the new emperor.
Dare to plunder and sell slaves."
?"
The boss of "Shenlong" believes that a courtier should be loyal to the country and not to be loyal to others, but to die without a brain is not loyal. He wants her to save Xie Zhiyong's life and do what he should do.
Therefore, as soon as Qin Yilan entered this small world, she surrendered to the King of Qin like a flow of goodness, doing the work of the minister of the Ministry of Works. Even if the struggle between the old and new officials involved her, she did not try to participate.
For the purpose of helping the King of Qin to gain power.
The old ministers have been entrenched in the court for many years and have great authority.
Qin Yilan naturally has to use the strength of the Xinchen faction, so this matter will inevitably develop into a political struggle between factions.
Since it is a political struggle, in addition to the group that deserves it, it is inevitable that innocent people will be implicated, such as the cabinet chief assistant Chen Ruwei.
Qin Yilan's reason is too strong, and Gao Shigong is not convinced.
If he loses, he will be demoted and exiled, or even his family will be sacked. Under such circumstances, who can remember the son's intention to serve the country and the people?
Qin Yilan knew that he didn't believe it, and sighed slightly: "I'm only right about things, not people. If Wang Zhiyi's party is the one who casts private money and plunders the servants, then I will definitely seek cooperation with you. ."
Gao Shigong was silent for a moment, not knowing whether he believed it or not, and finally just raised the glass of wine and drank it: "Brother Xie has compassion for the world, and my brother is ashamed."
Because of Qin Yilan's complaint, the King of Qin had the opportunity to sweep away the old forces of the previous emperor. The King of Qin couldn't help thinking that this was a "good thing" done by "Xie Zhiyong" in order to show his loyalty to him ".
King Qin's perception of Xie Zhiyong is quite complicated.
Starved to death everywhere, the people changed their sons to eat.
But Xie Zhiyong has given him a lot of strength several times.
Without specific actual positions, the cabinet's voting power has little effect. Although the salary has risen and the name is good, it has actually become a mascot similar to Wei Guogong.
Slightly better than Duke Wei is that she has to go to court every day, and has the opportunity to answer correctly in front of the emperor.
With no specific affairs to manage, Qin Yilan was too lazy to go to the courthouse every day before dawn to punish her. A few days after she received the edict, she wrote to the old man.
In the eyes of the King of Qin, her actions were clearly because she was dissatisfied with the reward given to her and wanted to pick her up. It can be said that she did not give the emperor face.
The king of Qin was uncomfortable at first, so she was so angry that he didn't even have the process of staying in the middle, so he gave her an "acceptance" directly.
After resigning, Qin Yilan started writing books.
Xie Zhiyong has been specializing in water control since he entered the dynasty as an official. He has been dealing with water conservancy for decades as an official, repairing embankments, building dams, clearing silt, and opening irrigation canals It is a pity if these rich experience and knowledge are not passed down to future generations.
Qin Yilan resigned from office and began to organize Xie Zhiyong's manuscript notes, consult ancient books and documents, and also rode an old horse to go on a field trip. It took more than three years to write a book "Water Conservancy in the Sky". .
return.
It is definitely a precious treasure for human beings. Wouldn’t it be a pity if it was lost?
Qin Yilan handed over a copy to His Majesty the Emperor. King Qin was not stupid. He understood its value immediately after reading the book. Officials consult for reference.
King Qin got the benefit, but it's not good to treat it as if nothing happened. He called Qin Yilan's imperial study room to make a statement, and after chatting dryly for a while, he proposed that Qin Yilan should enter the court again as an official.
Since the usurped the throne, "Xie Zhiyong" really did a lot for him, more than many confidants, but because of his grudges, not only did he not give Xie Zhiyong much Rewards, and suppressed him intentionally or unintentionally.
But this Xie Zhiyong, after being coldly treated by him, not only did not feel embarrassed, but also worked hard to write such a professional reference book to donate, this piece of loyalty to the king, can not help the king of Qin not be unmoved, so he invited " Xie Zhiyong" once again entered the dynasty as an official.
Qin Yilan wrote this "Book of Water Conservancy in the Sky" just to pass on Xie Zhiyong's rich knowledge and experience of water control for future generations to learn from. It has nothing to do with being loyal to the king for a dime. Without hesitation, he rejected the King Qin's proposal.
Although the king of Qin was moved before, he couldn't help but suspect that "Xie Zhiyong" wanted to borrow a book to seek reinstatement.
Now Qin Yilan doesn't want anything, and rejects him outright, only then does he really let go of his suspicions and give a sincere praise: "The Qing family is dedicated to me, and a true loyal minister!"
The more Qin Yilan refused to return to the court, the more Qin Wang felt that she was devoted to the king. In addition to the three vain duties of the prince and the junior teacher, she was also promoted to the title of Doctor Guanglu. .
You don't have to work, and you can get two first-class salaries. Qin Yilan doesn't push it anymore, and "reluctantly" accepts the emperor's kindness.
A vacant position is useless except to get some money, but anyone who has ambition will not push the official position to take the vacant position. The King of Qin was very moved, not only praised "Xie Zhiyong" in the court, but also called All the courtiers learned from "Xie Zhiyong": "If all the ministers are as loyal to the monarch and the country as Xie Qing, why can't the world be so clean as Haiyan and Heyan."
Don't ask for officials, don't ask for power, and don't complain about being suppressed. The King of Qin wished that the whole dynasty was full of such courtiers, praising "Xie Zhiyong" with sincerity.
However, "Xie Zhiyong", who had just been praised by the King of Qin as "loyal to the monarch and the country", slapped the King of Qin in the face with a backhand.
