516 The right to speak 2
Seeing Wu Haogu showing an anxious expression, Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu looked at each other and laughed.
"Da Lang, don't be afraid." Gao Qiu smiled, "Although Lu Benzhi became a filial son, there will be no progress in thorough investigation of the fire in the military camp in the state."
Pan Xiao'an also said confidently: "Although Quan Zhi, Kaifeng Prefecture is a member of the new party, what's the use? Guo Zhizhang, an old scholar in Jizhou, knows how to solve the case? He can't rely on ordinary clerks and constables in Kaifeng Prefecture? They are all mixed figures... Who doesn't know how deep the water in this case is? You must be pretending to be confused."
Gao Qiu also laughed: "Actually, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion knows that Dalang, you are the mastermind behind the scenes... You are the number one celebrity in the official family and the front line. Who is tired of living here to check you? It's not good to find out, maybe you'll be killed."
Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, and it was indeed the case. The prefects of Kaifeng Prefecture couldn't be long, and Guo Zhizhang was the same. If the people below fooled him for a few months and a year, he should get out, and those clerks and constables still have to live a life.
Not to mention provoking Wu Haogu, there are treacherous treacherouss like Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu, even Zhou Tong from the Imperial Boxing Gym, no one wants to provoke him... Many men who can beat him in the imperial guards are all disciples. Even if you ask Nan Xia Zhan Zhao in the play to investigate, you will beat them up so much that Bao Qingtian didn't recognize him.
Wu Haogu frowned deeply, "What did the official family think?"
As he spoke, the voice of the Arhat maid came from outside the door, and then he saw Jin Ping'er, the Arhat maid, each brought a large plate of wine and food in.
"No need to serve here," said Wu Haogu. "Rahan maid, go outside and replace Oliga, don't let people get close to you."
When Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu and Pan Xiao'an were talking secretly, of course someone outside the door looked at it. It was Wu Haogu's most confidant daughter, Paladin Oliga. However, Oliga was pregnant and had to let her rest more, so Wu Haogu asked the Luohan maid to replace Oliga.
The two girls arranged the wine and food and turned around and left. Gao Qiu picked up a pot of Dingyao wine pot filled with the immortal wine. While pouring wine for himself, he smiled and said, "The officials don't have time to think of such a trivial matter of killing and setting fire now."
"Oh? What is he thinking?"
Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu looked at each other and laughed. Pan Xiao'an said, "The official family is thinking about Empress Yuanfu."
"Yuanfu... Queen?"
Wu Haogu was a little stunned, "Isn't Empress Yuanfu the official's sister-in-law?"
"Yes!" Gao Qiu smiled strangely, "It's better for sister-in-law..."
Pan Xiao'an's brows were already frowning, "Dalang, we were actually doing this. Compared with this matter, the murder and arson are not worth mentioning at all!"
Wu Haogu nodded with a wry smile. For Zhao Ji, how can someone kill and set fire in Kaifeng Prefecture be more important than comforting a young widowed sister-in-law?
But this Qingliu Logistics discussion doesn’t take much time to criticize yourself... How can you be a villain who serves the country and the people? How can you be a villain who is good for the country and the people? This is not OK!
Wu Haogu took back his thoughts and began to discuss the important matter with Pan Xiao'an. "Does the official family want to drive Empress Meng out of the palace and give Empress Liu the title of Empress Liu?"
Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu both saw each other lit up when they heard this. Pan Xiao'an gave him a thumbs up, "It's still Dalang, you understand the official's thoughts!"
"Yes!" Gao Qiu also said, "Brother Eleven and I have been unable to get the idea for this matter for many days. We were only able to speak when we were inspecting the project at Qionglinyuan yesterday. I didn't expect you to guess it as soon as you guessed it."
Is it necessary to guess? Wu Haogu has read many historical records about Song Huizong in later generations, including the deposed Empress Yuanyou (the Empress Meng was deposed twice, and made a comeback twice, and the latter was established by Zhang Bangchang) and the original truth of the establishment of Empress Yuanfu as the empress dowager was Zhao Ji and his wife...
Pan Xiao'an asked: "Dalang, you have many ways, and you should give some ideas for the official family. What should I do to accomplish these two major events?"
Wu Haogu frowned when he heard this, "I think neither Zeng Xun and Han Xun would agree to this matter, right?"
Han Zhongyan must have opposed Empress Meng's carriage out of the palace. Empress Meng was inclined to the old party, and the late Empress Dowager Xiang took her, who had been deposed, from the Yaohua Palace (Dao Temple). How long has Empress Dowager Xiang died now? Why did Zhao Ji turn against him?
As for the establishment of Empress Liu as the Empress Dowager, it was even more chaotic. I guess even Zeng Bu would object.
The empress dowagers of the Song Dynasty were only the emperor's mother, and they never had the responsibility of being the empress dowager. Moreover, Empress Liu was only twenty-three years old this year, and she was a stunning beauty... She was suddenly made the empress dowager by Zhao Ji. Even a fool knew that Zhao Ji was cuckolding Emperor Zhezong!
Besides, even if Zhao Ji ignored the hard work to comfort Empress Liu's body and mind, he didn't have to give the Empress Dowager the name. How could anyone who is the emperor find a Empress Dowager for himself? Isn't this making it uncomfortable for himself?
"The two husbands will definitely not agree!" Pan Xiao'an also frowned, "So the official family is in a difficult situation! Dalang, do you have a way?"
"How?" Wu Haogu frowned bitterly, "Let me think about it."
The second deposed Empress Meng and the establishment of Empress Liu were both stupid things Zhao Ji had done in history! It would be possible to achieve without using Wu Haogu’s power, so Wu Haogu was not thinking about these two things.
What really made him a headache was that he could not slander others and became a treacherous! Why do they think that the fire in Zhoubei Daying was released by him? Is there any evidence to do this? You can’t wrongly accuse the villain!
In addition, it is also a problem to make a group of civil servants who are from Jinshi firmly grasp the right to speak... People's words are terrifying!
But I don’t have any strength to resist. Isn’t the magazine “Wenquxing” just used to fight for the right to speak?
"Eleven, Brother Gao," Wu Haogu suddenly looked at the two people in front of him, "Although the official family is rich in all directions, he cannot do whatever he wants. He is a saint and a benevolent king, so he has to take care of the world's long mouth."
“Yes, yes!”
"That's it!"
Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu nodded repeatedly.
Wu Haogu continued, "And the world's long mouths are on the heads of scholars, right? Those heroes who sing name outside Donghua Gate can say one word, which is better than the common people's words, right?"
"yes!"
"The officials are just worried that they will object."
Wu Haogu smiled: "Then you have to fight!"
"Strike to the bottom?"
"Fight for the power of words!" Wu Hao Ancient Road, "Fight for the leisurely mouth of the people of the world!"
"How to fight?"
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Of course, we are using the current affairs books and magazines that are publicly published in Wenquxing magazine!"
Although the magazine "Wenquxing" was also a picture album at the beginning, it has developed to this day, especially after the current political forum was found in the magazine "Wenquxing" and this magazine is evolving into a newspaper.
However, Wu Haogu did not let "Wenquxing" take the most critical step, because he was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to make Zhao Ji support the magazine "Wenquxing" into a newspaper.
The second deposed Empress Meng and the establishment of Empress Liu are obviously the opportunity that Wu Haogu has to wait for!
The next day, afternoon.
Wu Haogu, Gao Qiu and Pan Xiao'an appeared in Yanfu Palace, located outside the palace wall on the west side of the palace. Yanfu Palace is actually a "park" dedicated to emperors and later to visit. It is not large in area (historically, Song Huizong built a new Yanfu Palace on the north side of the imperial city), and it seems a bit old. However, it is still more elegant and comfortable than the main body of the palace. After the death of Empress Dowager Xiang, Song Huizong opened a residence here and often came to study art with Empress Liu...
Because Yanfu Palace does not belong to the harem, Wu Haogu, Gao Qiu and Pan Xiao'an, three villains with the identity of "harming" can enter at any time, and they can also carry weapons. Their "harming" is not a name, but a real one.
On a pavilion that can overlook the scenery on both sides of the Jinshui River in the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture, Wu Haogu met Zhao Ji, an official in the Song Dynasty dressed as a scholar. Before he could bow, Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand and said, "Today, there is only Zhao Xiaoyi, so there is no need to worship him."
"Wu Dalang is polite." Wu Haogu still said aloof. Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu also bowed to Zhao Ji like Wu Haogu. Both of them were a little jealous. They had to rely on Wu Haogu's blessing to get such treatment!
"Dalang," Zhao Ji waved to Wu Haogu, let him stand beside him, and then pointed to Liangmen in the southwest and said, "There is a Tongwenguan outside Liangmen, which is the inn for the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom. I want to move it outside the city, so that piece of land will be sold to you for 500,000 yuan."
This is Zhao Ji's "loss" in Cangzhou by Wu Haogu.
Wu Haogu replied with a smile: "Five hundred thousand is too little, I will pay one million... In addition, I have also cleaned up the mess in the northern military camp of the state.
"One million?" Zhao Ji turned around and looked at Wu Haogu, "Dalang, you have paid 700,000 yuan in Cangzhou!"
"Didn't I compensate?" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Didn't your Majesty ask me to recommend Jiehe Shibo and use Jiehe Shibo's profits to make up for this hole?"
"That's not enough for 700,000."
"Enough," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I have calculated it. As long as I have fully operated the Maritime Bureau, 700,000 yuan will still be able to turn over."
"This is 700,000!"
Wu Haogu laughed: "It's really okay. I can do business... I can't even make 700,000 yuan a year with the Maritime Warehouse Department. However, I have to use the Maritime Warehouse Department to make 700,000 yuan a year. I can do it. I just want your Majesty to allow Jiehe Maritime Warehouse Department to export weapons to the Goryeo Kingdom."
"Export weapons to Goryeo?" Zhao Ji asked, "Is weapons trading very profitable?"
"Of course, it's profitable," Wuhao Ancient Road, "and it can also be used to make up for the Goryeo people's payment for goods."
"Accounting for the goods?"
