Chapter 122 Do you want to become the most outstanding prefect of Kaifeng in history? (Here you come!)

Zeng Gongliang learned that Zhengzhou had gone.

Bao Zheng took office to supervise the censor Li Xing.

Zhang Heng went to congratulate Bao Zheng when he took office, but did not bring any gifts. Bao Zheng was very satisfied, but it was not that he did not bring any gifts at all. The gift was a piece of news.

"Master Bao, I have an official under my command named Guan Guan. When we were in the south, he was being coerced and lured to frame us."

Bao Zheng immediately became serious: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Isn't this waiting for you to take office and give you gifts?"

Hearing this, Bao Zheng raised his hands and said: "With your character, you should have almost completed the investigation?"

Zhang Heng nodded. He asked Tong Boding to confirm the person through his caring description. He followed the line upwards and found out who the instigator was.

Bao Zheng nodded and said: "Give me the things you investigated, and I will handle the matter."

Zhang Heng did not take it out immediately, but said: "Master Bao, you need to act with caution, this matter involves a lot..."

Bao Zheng interrupted Zhang Heng and said: "Give me the things, then get out, and leave the rest to me."

Zhang Heng was helpless: "This matter involves the Song Xiang brothers..."

"I told you to give me the things and then go back to the Kaifeng government office!"

Zhang Heng could only smile bitterly, give a packet of information to Bao Zheng, and then leave.

Bao Zheng picked up the package, looked at it carefully all afternoon, and then shouted: "Song Qi did not teach his children well, Song Xiang did not discipline his children well, he should be killed!"

Zhang Heng handed over the evidence and returned to the Yamen. He came to Bao Zheng to discuss with him how to expose the matter, but he did not expect Bao Zheng to be so stubborn.

The next day, Zhang Heng heard that Bao Zheng had impeached the two brothers, Song Xiang and Song Qi.

As soon as Bao Zheng took office as the censor Li Xing, he impeached Song Xiang, who had served as a counselor for political affairs. This immediately aroused the attention of the court.

The Song Xiang brothers are not ordinary people. They were both promoted to Jinshi in Jiazike.

The Ministry of Rites ranked Song Qi first and Song Xiang third. Empress Dowager Liu E and Liu were still in power at that time. He did not want to put his younger brother before his elder brother, so he promoted Song Xiu first and Song Qi tenth, so there were two brothers who were "double champions".

say.

As a result, Xiang Cheng of Song Dynasty ranked first in the provincial examination, the joint examination, and the palace examination.

After Xiang became the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty, he was promoted to Dali as a judge and judged Xiangzhou together.

He was favored by Empress Dowager Liu and was promoted to Prince Zhongyun. He was appointed as the direct history officer. He successively served as the judge of the household affairs department of the third division, a fellow practitioner of daily living notes, and then moved to Zuozhengyan.

Along the way, he rose to great heights. Even though Liu E was dead, Zhao Zhen still used him. In the past two years, he was promoted to the right to advise the doctor and serve as a counselor for political affairs, which shows his favor.

However, Bao Zheng was so tough that he didn't care about Song Xiang's background and just filed an impeachment letter against him.

Zhang Heng could only shake his head and smile bitterly. If he had to ask Bao Zheng for help in the future, he couldn't be so direct.

In fact, this matter is nothing. It is nothing more than the minions of Song Chongguo, the son of Song Qi, embezzling the assets of the envoy treasury and other warehouses. Because Zhang Heng was rectifying the envoy treasury, he ordered his minions to slander Zhang Heng and tried to frame him.

I came to deal with Zhang Heng, but I didn't expect that Zhao Zhen would suppress this matter.

Zhang Heng learned about this from Guan Guan, and immediately dug up the matter, and followed the clues to sort out the evidence that Song Chongguo had embezzled the assets of the minister's treasury. The evidence was conclusive, but it was difficult to refute.

So a few days later, the investigation team moved in to verify the evidence. The evidence compiled by Zhang Heng was very clear, and the investigation team withdrew after only one day.

A few days later, Zhang Heng got the news: Song Xiang was removed from the political affairs department and was demoted to Xuzhou. His younger brother Song Qi, who was originally a minister of Tianzhang Pavilion, was sentenced to Taichang Liyuan and was demoted to know Shou.

Prefecture, and this time the protagonist Song Chongguo was exiled to Lingnan.

As for Song Chongguo's minions, they were arrested one by one during these days.

However, the treasury affairs of the warehouse were not cleared because Song Chongguo was just one of them, not the biggest one. There were many children of courtiers who had many interests in it.

In fact, Song Chongguo was not the only one who slandered Bao Zheng and Zhang Heng at that time, there were also others who contributed to the flames, and most of them also had interests in them.

Bao Zheng became famous in one battle.

The former Bao Zheng was not well-known in Bianjing. He was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng. After passing the Jinshi examination, he was appointed as a Dali judge and the magistrate of Jianchang County.

Later, because his parents were old, Bao Zheng asked to take a job near Hefei, so he was appointed as a tax supervisor in Hezhou. His parents did not want him to leave, so Bao Zheng resigned from the official position and returned home to support his parents.

A few years later, his parents died one after another, and Bao Zheng built a thatched cottage next to his parents' graves. Until the mourning period was over, he still hesitated and couldn't bear to leave. Elders from the same town came to comfort and encourage him many times.

It wasn't until the fourth year of Jingyou's reign that Bao Zheng went to Beijing to listen to the election and was awarded the title of magistrate of Tianchang County. He worked for several years and then was transferred to magistrate Duanzhou.

Duanzhou was later called Zhaoqing, Guangdong, which was also the Lingnan area. Those who were transferred here were basically not taken seriously.

This time he returned to Beijing to serve as the general magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, established a ministerial treasury contract, and was dismissed from his post.

Afterwards, he was appointed as Yushi Lixing. Unexpectedly, he made a big move as soon as he came up and brought down a political advisor. He really became famous in one battle.

It can be said that there is no one in Bianjing today who does not know about blackmail.

The successful experiences of Jia Changchao, Zeng Gongliang, and Bao Heizi made Wu Yu very envious, so whenever he had free time, he would run to Zhang Heng. He didn't say anything, just stared at Zhang Heng, which made Zhang Heng heartbroken.

hairy.

Yes, this is where you come to make a wish.

Wu Yu came like this for several days, and Zhang Heng finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Master Fu, don't you have anything to do all day long?"

Wu Yu said quietly: "When I was needed, I was always a teacher, but now that I am no longer needed, I have become a master of the palace... You are very realistic."

Zhang Heng: "..."

Wu Yu stood up, walked out with his hands behind his back, and sighed: "Forget it, forget it, after all, I am not a student from the first-hand teaching university. Alas, not even as good as someone who takes the blame... Alas!"

Zhang Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly thought hard. Before Wu Yu walked out of the threshold, he finally shouted: "Teacher, I have it!"

Wu Yu slowly turned around and finally had a smile on his face: "Well, Master, I'm listening."

How could Zhang Heng let Wu Yu stand and listen to him? He quickly asked Wu Yu to sit down and made a pot of hot tea. The things he was rapidly conceiving in his mind gradually took shape, and he said: "Kaifeng

Magistrates are strict and lenient. The previous magistrate was strict in enforcing the law when it came to cracking down on evil, so now that you are here, you should govern the government in a lenient manner, don’t you think?"

Wu Yu frowned and thought for a while and said: "What you are saying is that I also want to rectify Kaifeng, but now the people living in Wuyou Cave are ordinary refugees, and there are no big thieves to control them. Every day except

There are a lot of trivial things, but nothing worth taking action on."

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Teacher, why don't you think differently."

Wu Yu suddenly realized the critical moment and looked at Zhang Heng with burning eyes.

Zhang Heng considered it and said: "Kaifeng Mansion is like a seriously ill patient. Although the disease has been driven away with the medicine of tiger and wolf, the current Kaifeng Mansion is rugged and unkempt. It needs to be warmed and replenished, and groomed to be able to heal."

Restore the delicate appearance and provide a livable environment for the people of Bianjing living there.

I don’t know if you have noticed, teacher. Although Bianjing City is the most prosperous city in the world, garbage is everywhere in the city, pedestrians defecate everywhere, the rivers in the city are blocked, overgrown with vegetation, there is no planning, every household is smelly, there are built-in toilets and horses outside the house.

In the shed, there is no place for people to bathe, and no place for animals to stand.

I'm not exaggerating. The entire Bianjing city is like a huge garbage dump. Others look at the prosperity, but I feel suffocated living in it. I wonder if you feel this way, teacher?"

Wu Yu looked confused: "But this has been the case for thousands of years..."

"This has always been the case, is it right?" Zhang Heng asked in his soul.

Wu Yu: "..."

Zhang Heng added: "It is precisely because of this that if you, teacher, gave the two million people of Bianjing a clean and tidy street, surrounded by green trees, and clear water flowing in the river instead of sewage flowing across the river;

Every household has toilets, bathing rooms, and dedicated sewers. When you go out, you will hear the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. When you enter the house, you will feel the fresh and natural Bianjing City. Then, teacher, you are the Buddha of thousands of families!

If you dare to think about it, every street in Bianjing City has street lights, there are trash cans on the roadside for pedestrians to throw garbage, bathrooms for pedestrians to use at any time, chairs and stools for people to rest at any time, and special public carriages have been established.

Pass by the platform on time and at certain points, and pedestrians can take the bus according to the locations marked on the platform to reach their desired destination..."

Wu Yu was dumbfounded and said, "This...isn't this the Royal Garden?"

Zhang Heng held up his palms and smiled and said: "Well, turn the entire Bianjing city into an imperial garden! Teacher, if you can do this, you will be the most outstanding prefect in the history of Kaifeng Prefecture."

Wu Yu suddenly became excited: "Really?"

Zhang Heng nodded: "Of course."

But then Wu Yu said in frustration: "But... there is no money!"

Lack of money is a big problem.

Zhang Heng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I've figured out a way for you. Whether you can do it or not is your problem."

Wu Yu looked at Zhang Heng hehe: "You are right, let me figure this out."

Zhang Heng was overjoyed and finally sent this old guy away.

Then Wu Yu said: "I have come up with a way..."

Zhang Heng said in surprise: "Do you know where to get money?"

Wu Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Zhang Heng: "..."

Wu Yudao: "But I know who can accomplish this..."
