Chapter 550: Phenomenon and Essence

In a short period of two quarters of an hour, more than 100 warships of all sizes participating in the battle poured thousands of rockets into the Yuan army camp, although they could not cover the entire enemy camp due to the limited range, but they also blew up their left and right flanks, and the fire caused by the explosion quickly spread to the entire camp by the wind, and the raging fire burned half of the sky, which could be clearly seen on the Sheji several miles away.

Zhao Yu was greatly relieved when he saw this, in this case, the Yuan army was too late to protect itself, even if he found that the Song army had withdrawn, he had no time to pursue, and he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it. An hour later, all the units of the Song army had boarded ships and retreated to the sea off Quanzhou, and after the warships led by Liu Zhu came to rendezvous, they all hung their sails and sailed southwest. By the time the sun rose, Quanzhou had long since disappeared at the end of the horizon.

It may be that the time spent on the ship in the previous life was too long, when the fleet was on the vast sea, looking at the seagulls chasing the fleet, and the flying fish jumping out of the sea from time to time, although there may be unknown wind and rain ahead, but Zhao Hao's nervous spirit for a month finally relaxed, and he felt extremely comfortable. This is not only because the battle has achieved the expected goal, but also a small sense of achievement, but soon the face is covered with a layer of worry, and he will face another storm when he goes back.

"Official, rest for a while!" Wang De saw that His Majesty had been sitting on the command platform, looking at the sea quietly with his hands on his cheeks, without saying a word, and leaned over and asked softly.

"Oh, everyone's rested?" Zhao Yu turned his face as if he had woken up from a dream, and the huge command room was empty, except for the guards on duty and the two small yellow doors that were close to him.

"Yes, after tossing for a night, the right minister and they all went back to the cabin to rest, and they didn't eat breakfast when they sent it over!" Wang De said.

"Hehe, everyone is tired these days, just let them sleep!" Zhao Hao smiled when he heard this.

"Then the official family should also rest for a while!" Wang De stretched out his hand to help His Majesty get up and said.

"I can't sleep, it's good to look at the sea here, you can go down and rest, don't worry about me!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, he also wondered that he was sleepy and couldn't open his eyes after every big battle before, but today he had no sleep all night but was in an abnormal spirit.

"The official family doesn't rest, how dare the little one sleep, or the official family eats something?" Wang De quickly shook his head and asked again.

"When you say I'm hungry." Zhao Yu touched his stomach and smiled.

"Then let the dining room cook a bowl of meat porridge for the official?" Wang De asked.

"No need, the people in the dining room haven't slept all night, and they've been busy all morning, don't bother them, just give me those dried fish." Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"Alas, the official family is always sympathetic to us subordinates." Wang De sighed and said, he has been following the little emperor for two years, and what he can do will never trouble the people below, think about how he is the king of a country who only needs some dried fish to satisfy his hunger for fear of disturbing the rest of the cook. But he pondered that the master was lenient and benevolent, and he couldn't use this as an excuse to perfunctory His Majesty, so he called the cook to prepare a meal for the little emperor.

In fact, I don't want to eat dried fish, that thing can't help but dry hard, and in order to store it for a long time, a lot of salt is added when drying, and I panic when I eat too much. Seeing that Wang De was so intimate, he just sighed, and only said no, but did not stop it. He continued to lie on the command platform and looked at the sea in a daze, thinking about his thoughts, and if this matter was not handled well, there would be another turmoil.

The bureau can be said to be Zhao Hao's other eye, and supervising officials at all levels and public sentiment is one of his important tasks. However, in order to prevent them from acting arbitrarily, Zhao Yu only gave them the power to monitor and verify, and did not have the power to punish, and only took action with their own consent. And when he goes out, he naturally has to leave an eye at home, otherwise he will not be wronged if he is kicked and he still knows nothing, and this time is of course no exception.

After the storm passed, the information sent back by the Secretariat was not only the itinerary of the ship, but also some things about what had happened in Qiongzhou these days, which made Zhao Yu vigilant and worried.

One of them happened in Wanzhou, where a rural man who served as a lieutenant did all the bad things, but he was able to stay in office because he won the unanimous support of the rural people in the former election officials. However, he was arrested by the county for constantly oppressing the villagers and being a traitor, but he was always released in the end, and each time he was released, the villagers went to the government to kowtow and beg for a guarantee.

After Jiang Ke, the governor of Wanzhou, took office, he had the intention to eliminate harm for the people, and after verifying the crime of this evil chief, he secretly sent officials to arrest him, but he didn't expect the news to leak quickly, and he followed the person who asked for bail to release the chief for several miles. Jiang Ke was not disturbed, and wanted to behead him after the trial, but he was blocked by Sun Qi, the general judgment of the new faction of the imperial court, and refused to sign the official document, saying that he should be released if he had an adjacent person as a guarantee, so the execution could not be carried out for a long time.

This matter is in an uproar, it is impossible for the spies of the Secretariat Bureau not to know, and they also wonder why this lieutenant has harmed so many people, why is everyone willing to guarantee him? So the spies secretly investigated, and the people around him told him: We have actually suffered from the scourge of this lieutenant, but the government is too afraid of things, and it will not take long after the arrest to release him. If we don't intercede for him when we are arrested, he will hurt us even more when he comes out, and the spies will report it as a miracle when they think it is too strange.

Zhao Yu saw it, but he didn't dare to be careless. He knew that Tong Ju was a provincial term for "Tong Judge State Affairs" or "Governor Tong Ju". At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, in order to strengthen the supervision and control of local officials, and prevent the governor's authority from being too heavy and specializing in making things bigger, Song Taizu created the post of "general judgment". The general judgment is directly appointed by the emperor to assist the county administration, and can be regarded as the deputy position of the governor, but it can directly report to the emperor the situation of all officials in the state and county, including the state and county officials, and the county officials.

The order issued by the Zhizhou to his subordinates must be signed by the general judgment before it can take effect, and the name of the general judgment is also due to the fact that the upper and lower official documents are jointly signed by the Zhizhou. At first, the imperial court selected the Beijing officials to serve, and later changed to the supervision of the transfer envoys, the system envoys, and the promotion department. In addition to the prison state, all matters involving soldiers and civilians, money valleys, household registration, enlistment, and prison litigation can be adjudicated, but they must be executed by signing a document with the governor.

Therefore, the general judgment is a central official who combines administration and supervision, and most of the general judgment levels in Zhili Prefecture are from the fifth rank and the sixth grade, and the general judgment level in Sanzhou is from the seventh rank and the eighth grade. The Zhili Prefecture Governor and the State Affairs are from the third product and the fourth product, and the Sanzhou Governor and the State Affairs are from the sixth and seventh products. There is a certain difference with the level of power, which is also the meaning of the size of the system. Taizu meant to solve the problem of the prefecture and county becoming an independent kingdom, and at the same time, it was also conducive to the supervision of corruption, so that the relationship between the central government and the prefecture and county, that is, the arm of the heart and the arm of the arm, was free to command.

Previously, Zhao Yu was in charge of Qiongzhou, and in a place where he thought it was a big fart, there was no need for so many officials to be set up in the three-level leadership team; The second is that there are not many people available in their hands, so the position is vacant. After the imperial court moved to Qiong, in order to settle the many officials who came with him, he selected people from the Ministry of Rites to fill the teams at all levels of the state and county, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere in administrative matters, so he did not pay too much attention.

This seems to be just a 'strange thing', and the bureau also reported it to its own favor, so it can be seen that this matter is indeed not a big deal, but Zhao Hao doesn't think so, it's just a rare thing. On the surface, the incident is about bad people doing evil, the victims dare not be angry and dare not speak, one is about how the royal ruler evaluates the subordinates, and the other involves judicial corruption in the imperial era. On the surface, the three are unrelated, and their parties may not have much collusion, but if you think about it carefully, you can find their internal logical connection.

The reason why the lieutenant chief has no fear and acts recklessly is nothing more than because he is protected by a magistrate. And why did the magistrate cover up? One possibility is that they want to be peace officials and return to the capital after a few years; It is more likely that he accepted bribes from thieves, and in order to control the thieves, he had to "keep water and raise fish". In the last years of the Song Dynasty, it was no secret that the officialdom was extremely corrupt, with small officials fishing for small officials, big officials making big profits, and a few people even being corrupt to the point of outrageousness. And why are these magistrates so bold? There is only one reason: the royal people are high-minded, they only know how to listen to reports in the deep palace, but do not go deep into the investigation and research of the people, and often do not distinguish between right and wrong, black and white are reversed, and corrupt officials can be deceived by casual scheming.

Zhao Yu thought that this Sun Tong's conviction of corruption was not necessarily, because his first arrival and contact with the local area was still shallow, and a small lieutenant could not enter his eyes. Besides, Qiongzhou is at the feet of the Son of Heaven at the moment, and there are many officials watching, so he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous. On the surface, it looks more like the central government is sending officials to assert authority over local officials in order to make their position clear.

From a deep level, Zhao Hao thought it was due to inertia. In the case of autocratic rule one generation after another, the will of the monarch and the higher authorities determines the life and death of the bureaucrats, making it difficult for the bureaucrats to decide what to do. In ancient times, officials generally regarded Shilu as a fixed occupation, only responsible for the monarch and superiors without caring about social benefits and the suffering of the people, only knowing how to stick to the rules, doing things according to routine without caring about the changes in the actual situation, ambiguous, slow to act, shirk responsibility, and steal peace.

At present, the officials first have to figure out the intentions of the court and their superiors, and try their best to cater to them, so as to save their fortune and life, which has caused a common self-preservation mentality and inaction style of not seeking merit but seeking no faults. At present, the emperor is out on an expedition, and according to Sun Tongju's thoughts, the emperor of course hopes that the family will be safe and sound, and the people will be happy.

And another thing made Zhao Yujue's problem even more serious......
