Chapter 184: Controversy
Song Qing didn't understand what Zhao Huan's "ideological work" meant for a while, and thought that it was just to send a civilian official to manage discipline, thinking that it was a good idea, and he was worried about what to do if those martial arts generals didn't wait to see them.
"By the way, among those who oppose the elimination of redundant personnel, is there any reason to be more sufficient and think about the Great Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Huan suddenly remembered something and asked again.
If you believe in it, you will be clear, and if you listen to it, you will not be able to assume that the opposition is selfish and incompetent.
"There are really a lot, but Lord Li Gang thinks that their consideration of the problem is a bit biased, inconsistent with the style of the imperial court, and they are also grandstanding or easy to be coerced, so they didn't make statistics!"
"Pick it out and consider the appointment. In addition, don't lose any of these notes, all of them are sealed and stored, and they must be referred to in the promotion and assessment of Song Dynasty officials in the next ten years! Hardship sees the truth, Lone must first know what they really think in their hearts, so that they can be appointed with confidence. ”
"Understood! I'm going to put it away. ”
Turning around and walking out of the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Huan was in a good mood. Although he was made such a collective admonition by his subordinates, he was not worried at all. There are two sides to everything, Zhao Ji did leave him a mess, but it also left him a wealth and a blank sheet of paper that he could "squander" for many years, as long as he controls the military power and maintains a tough hand, there is not so much resistance to changing the law.
killed Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Tong Guan and others, and copied their and their subordinates' lair, and the wealth obtained was not counted, at least equivalent to a hundred times the total tax paid by the Great Song Dynasty last year, why is it not enough?
At the same time, after killing them, no one stumbled Zhao Huan again, and other little shrimps didn't have the courage to do things, and they also had a good reputation among the people.
Of course, a prince with the same courage can also do this, but there is no second Zhao Huan in the world.
Zhao Huan walked outside the hall, and suddenly saw a stone tablet under the corridor that was half covered with red cloth.
Stone Monument!
He immediately remembered the White Tiger Daoist, and from the words of the White Tiger on the night of his arrival, it was known that he had come to the palace after Li Zhu, that is, after the night of his wedding.
If you have been to the palace and seen the stone monument, you must have secretly observed him Zhao Huan. At that time, he practiced halberds and swords hard every day, and perhaps the people of the White Tiger Dao had also seen him practice swords and knew his swordsmanship talent. This also explains why he accepted Zhao Huan as an apprentice so directly.
"Don't despise that stone monument in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, it may be of great help to you!"
Zhao Huan still clearly remembered what the White Tiger Daoist said at the end.
But according to what the system said before, this is just a relatively good weapon material......
Well! Maybe the system simply wanted to let himself destroy this stone monument, and Tang Long didn't know whether he really had no choice or reluctance, so he brought it to Hebei and brought it back to himself intact.
For this fate, it should also be valued by itself.
"Your Highness! This monument is a little weird, some palace maids said that it glows faintly at night, I and Le He have also come to see, it is indeed faintly glowing, and it is getting brighter and brighter. I remember that when it was first placed in this palace of diligent government, there was no light, there was only a faint light a month ago, and these days are much brighter than a month ago. ”
Luminous?
Zhao Huan was stunned, could it be that there is still a fluorescent material in this stone stele?
You can come and see it in the evening.
……
Imperial City Hall.
Li Gang, the secretary of the same book, Zhao Ding, Zhang Xiaochun, the governor of the political affairs, Hu Shunshe, the master of the imperial history, Chen Gongfu, the secretary of the household department, Wen Huanzhang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Tang Ke, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Li Guang, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Lu Yihao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Churen, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Liu Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation, Geng Nanzhong, the secretary of the Privy Council, the deputy envoy Xu Guanzhong, Zhang Shuye, the seven generals Liu Jian, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Wu Lu, Yang Cunzhong, Li Yanxian, and Xiao Jiasui, Li Zhu and dozens of other people gathered together.
Zhao Huan's core team is all there.
Zhao Huan sat directly on the top seat, looking at the important ministers who had their own concerns, and the scene instantly quieted down.
"Why don't you speak? I haven't seen you for a month, so much has happened, why don't you believe that you will have nothing to say? ”
Solitary......
The crown prince finally changed his name.
The title "Lonely" was originally only used by the emperor, and the prince generally called himself "I", "I", "Bengong", and "Ben Prince"; Now Zhao Huan has become the only prince of the country since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not too much to use the title of "lonely".
But he suddenly changed his name, and everyone present knew that the prince was asserting his power.
And why it was chosen to change the name at this time is self-evident.
Originally, they wanted to speak out and admonish Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Zhang Chunxiao and others immediately poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and swallowed back after thinking about the words that came to their mouths.
People who have the ability are not fools, the prince has secretly warned everyone that he has to deal with the matter of ten thousand officials and sparse officials, and no matter how uninteresting and tough he is, it will not have any effect, it is better to be tactful.
Wen Huanzhang saw that no one spoke, so he opened his mouth first.
"Your Highness! The reform of North Jingzhou has been fruitful, after the layoffs, layoffs, and disarmament, all kinds of money have been reduced to less than 10% of the original, and most of the land in North Jingzhou has been rented to the people as official land, and it is expected that the burden of the people can be reduced from 80% to 20% of the rent, endowment, and tax, and the minister's suggestion has been extended to other roads! However, in this way, the imperial court will cut out many redundant personnel and redundant soldiers, and their return to the imperial court should also be properly disposed of, so as not to cause resentment. ”
"What you say is very reasonable! In the final analysis, the problem of redundant soldiers and redundant personnel is caused by the imperial court, and it should not be cleared up so that they have nowhere to go. ”
Imperial Doctor Hu Shunshe also stood up and spoke bluntly.
"I don't agree!"
Zong Ze stood up against it.
"The problem of redundant soldiers and redundant personnel was indeed caused by the supervision of the imperial court, and most of it was caused by the surplus of scholars in the imperial examination; However, it is also undeniable that 20 years ago, there were only more than 20,000 redundant officials, and since Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing and others came to power, redundant soldiers and redundant personnel have doubled. Therefore, at least half of the redundant officials and redundant personnel are not worthy of the court's sympathy. ”
"Even so, there are more than 20,000 redundant officials, more than 100,000 redundant personnel, and 780,000 redundant soldiers, all of which have to be resettled by the imperial court in order to demonstrate His Highness's benevolence!"
"That's right! You must know that these people are all scholars, and if the court does not give them proper placement, let them return to their hometowns, I am afraid that they will secretly slander the court and implicate His Royal Highness the Prince. The villagers in the countryside don't know what is wrong with this, isn't it what they say they are, what is the appearance of His Highness and the court? If you are not careful, Your Highness will be named a tyrant, won't it disturb the people's hearts? ”
