Sima Zhijian stood in the hall, bowed for a long time, and said word by word: "I want to accuse Bo Cao of being a king and a prince, stealing the country's wealth for his own benefit, his family is rich with tens of thousands, he is rampant in Jinyang, he accepts the refugees, and he indulges his relatives.
, fish and meat town”
Shocking...
"You are such a talkative boy, how dare you say it again and let me hear it?" Wang Ji stood up with a bang and glared angrily.
Gai Jun frowned slightly. Sima Zhi must have not colluded with Yang Jun in advance about this matter. The two factions in Hanoi and Jinyang had finally been stable for a few days, and now they were about to fight again.
As for Wang Ji, he is in his forties this year, and Sima Zhi is under thirty. It is not impossible to call him "boy", but only in private, and the relationship between the two parties must be relatively friendly, and they can joke with each other.
That kind of thing. Now, in front of him at a state meeting, he openly despises colleagues with similar positions. This is too domineering. Obviously, he doesn't have a good memory or automatically skips it. Back then, he dared to point out
Someone who scolds Shangguan Geng Zhi.
Sima Zhi was furious...
Gai Jun waved his hand, told Sima Zhi to be silent, and said calmly: "Why should Wang Zhizhi be so excited? Listen to what Sima Zhizhi has to say. If he intends to frame you, Guzi will punish him..." The implication is that he
What you said is true, and I won't let you go.
Wang Ji snorted coldly, and when he returned to his seat, he glanced at Sima Zhi with a sinister look, vowing in his heart that he would make this Hanoi boy pay the price.
Sima Zhi was unmoved. Since he dared to stand up, it meant that he had sufficient evidence. As for whether Gai Jun would accept it, it was not within the scope of his consideration.
Gai Jun took the letter handed over by Sima Zhi. The more he read it, the gloomier his face became, as if it could condense into black water. In his opinion, keeping desperadoes in captivity and allowing relatives to commit lawlessness and bring disaster to the place was not considered a crime at all.
What kind of crime? Unless they are deliberately looking for trouble, which of today's wealthy families is not like this? To put it bluntly, Gai of Dunhuang also has this kind of virtue.
What made him angry was the money aspect. At first, Sima Zhi said that King Dao had stolen the country's wealth for himself. He thought that the other party was taking advantage of Bo Cao's work to gain access to the property of the Bingzhou treasury. In fact, it was far from that simple.
His hands were stretched out very far, not only in Bingzhou, especially in Jinyang's salt tax, but also in the gold and silver treasures shipped back from Jizhou and Henan. It was like a goose plucking its feathers.
Sima Zhi must have been checking Wang Ji for more than a day or two. Every article was written in detail and was definitely not a false accusation. Gai Jun raised his eyelids, glanced at Wang Ji, and asked the guard to show him the letter.
"This is..." When Wang Ji, who originally looked fearless, saw the contents of the letter, his expression changed drastically, and he broke into a cold sweat in the middle of summer.
Gai Jun said calmly: "Wang Zheng, is what is written above true?"
Wang Ji put down the letter and said calmly: "It's nonsense, it's nonsense... Please don't listen to the slander."
Farewell to Wang Xin, Li Zhizhong looked at each other, worried.
Sima Zhi sneered: "Since you dare to do it, why not take it?"
Gai Jun motioned to Sima Zhi on the side not to interrupt for the time being, and said with a half-smile, "Could it be that those are all stories made up by Sima?"
"Not necessarily..." Wang Ji looked quite uncomfortable. He knew that the evidence was conclusive and there was no way to avoid it. He bit the bullet and said: "I admit that I seem to accept refugees and protect my relatives. This subordinate is not good at running the family and is willing to accept punishment.
.”
Gai Jun had no expression on his face and sneered in his heart: "You really know how to be picky. If you are punished for such a trivial matter, I'm afraid half of the officials in Bingzhou will be in panic."
Seeing that Gai Jun was unmoved, Wang Ji gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to hand over my lawless clan members and followers, live and kill them, and leave them to you."
Gai Jun laughed, his laughter was full of murderous intent, he said goodbye, got up and left directly. Hundreds of state officials on both sides of the hall were lying on the ground. Gai Jun didn't even look at them, and walked through the door.
After walking dozens of steps, Sima Zhi hurriedly caught up and whispered: "Your Majesty..."
Gai Jun murmured to himself: "Wang Ji, I'll make you so stubborn..."
"..." Sima Zhi looked confused and didn't know why.
Gai Jun stopped and looked back: "Zihua, within three days, I will convict him. If I can't do it, I will put you in jail."
"No." Sima Zhi responded loudly. As long as Gai Jun nodded and agreed to arrest Wang Ji, not to mention three days, one day would be enough.
"Go and get busy..."
Not long after Sima Zhi left, Wang Xin arrived again. Gai Jun took his hand and said: "Let's go, don't drive, and accompany me to the Tuntian District to see."
"..." Wang Xin followed behind, but stopped talking.
"Why, do you want the Gu Fang Wang Ji Yima?" Gai Jun smiled and joked: "Don't you always hope that the Xihe Wang Family will surpass the Taiyuan Wang Family? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you should take advantage of it to add insult to injury.
"
Of course Wang Xin desperately hopes that the Xihe Wang Clan will surpass the Taiyuan Wang Clan, but now the Hanoi Clan is at its peak, the Yingchuan Clan is coming with aggressive killing generals, and the Bingzhou Clan has been repeatedly attacked by Gai Jun, and its strength has declined greatly, and it can no longer withstand
It is internally consumed, otherwise it will be bullied by Hanoi and Yingchuan in the future. Stepping on Wang Ji at this time will not do much good, on the contrary, pulling it will benefit a lot. Wang Xin said seriously: "A little honor and disgrace for a personal family is nothing.
Your great cause is the most important thing."
Gai Jun smiled, this sentence seems to be contradictory? The great cause of the emperor is nothing, the family is the foundation.
Wang Xin patiently advised: "The crown princes of the gentry in Taiyuan County are just two families, Guo and Wang. It is incompatible with the Guo family to make Jun Qianfan. If he offends the Wang family again, I am afraid there will be something wrong in the future. Wanwang envoy
Please think twice."
Gai Jun said with disdain: "Without the Guo and Wang families, it would be difficult for them to move forward alone?"
Wang Xindao: "Jinyang City is not only the seat of the governor of Bingzhou, but also the seat of Taiyuan County. At least in this three-acre area, the general will encounter countless troubles."
The corner of Gai Jun's mouth curved into a sinister smile and he said: "Whoever brings trouble to Gu will make life difficult for him. Shuofang happens to be very short of people and has very little scholarship. We are worried that we can't find any nobles willing to go there."
"..." Wang Xin was shocked.
Gai Jun smiled brightly and said: "Haha, it's a joke. Don't you believe it?"
Wang Xin laughed twice, it was strange to talk and laugh. He was convinced that Gai Jun could really do such a thing.
The two people left the governor's office, boarded the carriage, and headed eastward under the escort of many knights, out of the city and into the distance.
The year before last and the year before last, Gai Jun used troops in Hengshan twice, capturing dozens and nearly a million mountain people and making them farm for self-sufficiency. They were mainly concentrated in four areas, namely, the essence of Bingzhou, and the three richest counties in the east, Shangdang, Taiyuan, and Yanmen.
As well as the newly recovered Shuofang County, the latter is mainly populated by criminals.
Relying on the benefits of salt and iron, Taiyuan County became extremely wealthy and independently supported half of Bingzhou. Shangdang County was previously described as having an "8" shape, with the exception of the upper and lower plains, and the rest is mostly mountainous. The terrain of Taiyuan County is actually similar to that of Shangdang.
The plain area is like a dumbbell. The area around Jinyang, where the government is located, is a handshake, and the area near Zhaoyuze in the southwest and the north are two balls. It can be imagined that the wealthy counties in Bingzhou all look like this, and other counties should have poor geographical conditions.
What virtue.
Tuntian District of Taiyuan County is mainly concentrated in the slightly poor areas east and west of Jinyang, the administrative center. However, no matter how poor it is here, it is still ten times or a hundred times better than farming in the Hengshan Valley.
Gai Jun had experience in farming in the north, so he brought in a large number of experienced hands and copied them. The fields were neat, the houses were in order, and the small villages were like paradise. This gave confidence to the mountain people and to outsiders. Wang Xin
He comes here almost ten or eight times a month, but every time he sees such an orderly scene, he can't help but sigh in his heart. He once served as the governor of the North and was able to spy on the hidden things, but now he doesn't dare to
Imagine what Northland County will look like now.
The carriage stopped slowly, and Gai Jun and Wang Xin jumped out of the car one after another. After jolting for more than an hour, they finally arrived at their destination. A small official who was patrolling the fields with more than ten people hurriedly came up to greet him. Within half an hour, they arrived.
After hearing the news, all the officials in the field came.
While chatting with the field officials, Gai Jun strolled to the edge of the fields. The wheat fields in June were already golden, like a golden ocean. Gai Jun said with a smile: "The wheat is growing well this year, it should be a good year.
"
"It all depends on the envoy Hongfu..."
Facing the flood of flattery, Gai Jun smiled from the bottom of his heart, for the sake of the flattery and for the good harvest.
What? Don’t be too happy too early? Not only will there be no income in the first two or three years of farming, but you will also have to pay for seeds, farm tools, cattle, and grain...
What does it matter? I am so poor now that I only have money left.
As expected, Sima Zhi acted vigorously and resolutely, and everything was taken care of the next day, except for the last step. When Gai Junfu nodded, he immediately led his men to the Bingzhou Governor's Department, put Wang Ji in shackles, loaded him into a carriage, and sent him to the hospital.
Prison.
Jinyang shocked
Taiyuan shock
Bingzhou shock
Undoubtedly, this was the first fierce public confrontation between the Hanoi clique and the Bingzhou clique, and it ended with the former winning a resounding victory. Although Sima Zhi may not agree with this statement, what does his arresting traitors have to do with the factions? But others don't think so.
Wang Ji is in prison and Bo Cao's job is vacant. Who should he give it to?
Biejia Wang Xin believed that the people of Bingzhou should inherit the throne. He said that the Hanoi faction already controlled Bo, the leader of Bingzhou, and Du Guanzhi, who supervises all officials. If Bo Caojing, who is in charge of money and food, also fell into the hands of Hanoi people, the power would be too strong.
.
Gai Jun thinks what he said later makes sense. This position cannot be given to the Hanoi clique, but if it is returned to the Bingzhou clique, there is no guarantee that he will not steal it and become the king and second.
Therefore, he finally decided to give this position to the Yingchuan clique. First of all, they were foreigners, and it was difficult for them to deceive their superiors and misappropriate national wealth. Secondly, he wanted to quickly put the Yingchuan clique in power, with Bo Cao in charge and the Sima of the Hussars General.
, enough weight.
On the same day, Wang Ji and his family of nearly 30 disciples were sent to Shuofang. The army left behind by Gai Jun arrived at the south of Jinyang City. The people of Yingchuan looked at the ancient and simple city wall with deep thoughts...
