Seeing Cai Jing playing it right, Zhao Ji was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Oh, what is the master's plan?" But it was a look of anticipation. In fact, not only him, but also all the courtiers in the palace also fell on Taishi Cai's body to see what kind of countermeasures he could come up with.

Cai Jing said leisurely: "Your Majesty's concern is that now the north has lost countless money and food, so that the treasury is gradually empty, and it is difficult to continue. Recently, the minister also felt that there was something very wrong with this matter, so he thought about it for a long time and found a way to fill the treasury in a short period of time, not only so that the Jiangnan soldiers could be rewarded, but even if there was any famine this year, the imperial court would be enough to deal with it without delaying the major events in the north. ”

After a pause, his gaze swept over the colleagues and subordinates who were waiting for him in the back of the side, and then he said: "That is to promulgate the law of redemption, allowing civil offenders to atone for their crimes regardless of the severity of their crimes, such as those who are in prison today. In this way, within three or two months, the treasury will naturally be sufficient! ”

As soon as these words came out, the palace was in an uproar, especially those upright officials, who frowned and shook their heads, and discussed: "How can this be done?" If so, then what is the law? Isn't the world in chaos? ”

"Yes, this is a drink to quench thirst, and the strategy for endless disasters will never be followed!" ……

Those who said these things were not very high-status, and the news was not too well-informed. For example, some officials of the Yushitai, while frowning, were even more helpless, they really didn't expect Cai Jing to choose this time to bring up the old matter, this timing is really exquisite.

It turned out that this method of redemption had been deliberately implemented by Cai Jing and them in the court a few years ago, of course, they were not really concerned about this matter for the sake of the treasury, in the final analysis, it was still selfish. Because as long as this decree is implemented, the relevant yamen officials will definitely get a lot of benefits, not to mention the ones that high-ranking officials like Cai Jing can get. Moreover, in this way, whether it is a magistrate or a judicial official in the DPRK and China, the power in their hands can really be directly cashed in money and food - if a sinner who has committed a crime wants to atone for his sins, he must first curry favor with the relevant officials, right? Moreover, the amount of money and food to atone for sins is also determined by those officials, and in order to pay less money and food, the criminal naturally has to pay a sum of money to bribe the officials first, so that the officials will earn more......

The drawbacks of these laws are too great, and there are people in the court who understand, so when Cai Jing asked people to put forward it tentatively, it was collectively opposed by countless officials, and in the end, it was stopped. Unexpectedly, Cai Jing did not give up this idea, but brought up the old matter again today, and it happened to be used to relieve the worries of the official family! Suddenly, many people knew that it was not good, I am afraid that the emperor would really be persuaded by it this time!

Sure enough, before other officials came out to oppose it, Zhao Ji nodded frequently with a smile: "Cai Qing is worthy of being my Great Song Zhushi, and he is really old and seeking the country." This method can not only solve the current siege, but also increase the income of the imperial court a lot. That's it! ”

"Your Majesty, after the minister went down to court, he asked the government hall to draw up relevant laws and decrees and issue them all over the world." Cai Jing caught a glimpse of someone who seemed to stand up and say something, and immediately praised it, and at the same time completely finalized the matter. In this way, even if there are opponents, they will not dare to refute the face of the emperor and himself, the prime minister, otherwise it will be light to lose office.

He is convinced that as long as this order is issued, in just one year, his income will be more than doubled, after all, several chief officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are all his disciples of Taishi Cai. In addition, the families of some criminals who begged him before were also able to get out of prison safely as long as they prepared some money and food, which was also very beneficial to his influence on the government and the opposition. As for the various ills that will lead to chaos in the world, make life more difficult for the people, and be more unscrupulous for the rich and unkind, Taishi Cai, who is at the height of the temple, will not care.

At this moment, many courtiers didn't know what to say. Some people don't have the courage, and some people can't react in a short time, so they can only stand in a daze, full of sadness. However, Gao Yu and the others, who were still a little annoyed, also looked happy at this time, and they also praised Emperor Shengming one after another, and Master Cai had a clever plan.

At this time, Gao Yu's heart moved, and he had another idea, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that even if this redemption method is implemented, enough money and food can be raised within a few months to reward the soldiers in Jiangnan, but after all, it will take a long time, and I am afraid that the soldiers in front will still be dissatisfied." So why not grant them more benefits first? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Ji was in a good mood at this time, so he asked with a smile.

"The minister thinks that he can give the Jiangnan soldiers the right to cheapen, so that they can seize the property of the rebel's family and use it in the army, so that the soldiers can profit, and the two can also punish the rebellion, and the three can save a lot of expenses for the imperial court...... Gao Yu immediately gave his own advice.

The emperor nodded frequently when he heard it again: "What Gao Qing said, but it is also reasonable, so let's follow it." ”

Cai Jing had already retreated at this time, and when he heard this, he glanced at Gao Yu with a smile. Others may not be able to see the problem immediately, but he immediately saw the evil intentions hidden in it. If Sun Tu really does this, the situation in Jiangnan will only become more and more chaotic, and those who are soldiers will not be able to contain it once they really let go of the indiscriminate robbery.

Moreover, even if Sun Tu refuses to accept this method, it doesn't matter, anyway, he has nothing to lose. And as long as he has a heart, he can also spread relevant things in the army, so that Sun Tu's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers will be greatly reduced. It can be regarded as a business with no capital and no profits, and it is really insidious.

It wasn't until he saw Zhao Ji agree to this that Gao Yu's mood was much better. To be honest, Sun Tu's contribution again this time is not what he wants to see, in the long run, if he really quells the Jiangnan Rebellion, this person will be really difficult to deal with, and it will become a big disaster. And he and he have already become enemies, who knows what the result will be.

In fact, even Zhao Ji's heart is a little complicated about this, although Sun Tu defeated the rebels and won Huzhou made him very happy, but this also proved how much of a mistake he made to reuse Zhu Mian before. When this guy was there, not only did he lead to chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, but he was also incompetent to the extreme, and he was beaten back again and again by the rebels, and he ran to Jinling.

As a result, Sun Tugang killed him, and it only took a few months to do what he couldn't do for two years. The comparison between the two shows that he Zhao Ji did believe in the wrong person before, where does this make his face go, where does his prestige exist?

It was with such complex emotions that Zhao Ji quickly finalized the matter and did not dwell on this matter any longer. Then he gave the order to retreat from the dynasty and waited for everything to be implemented.

It was not until after leaving the palace that those courtiers who were sincere for the country began to get together in twos and threes to discuss how to tactfully resist the emperor's chaotic life.

If it was placed more than ten years ago, when encountering such a thing, the courtiers dared to directly refute the emperor's will, after all, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty have long developed a good tradition of directly attacking the emperor in the past hundred years, not to mention this kind of problematic order, it is a decree that is beneficial to the world, and even the emperor's family affairs, the courtiers have not intervened and opposed, and the emperors of the Zhao family have not had the slightest temper about it.

But now it is very different from the beginning, although the imperial power is not too Zhang, but Cai Jing, the prince and prime minister, has great power, and he is also the best at being soft and obedient. When the imperial power and the prime minister are completely combined, the courtiers are no longer opponents.

Because although he angered the emperor in the past, he would be demoted, but his reputation would soar, and it would not be long before he could be recalled to the court for reuse. But now, with Cai Jing from the side, the situation is completely different. Once they are really demoted and leave Beijing, then these officials will never want to come back alive, but Taishi Cai has all kinds of means to knock down the officials and criticize them in his office, and finally he will be ruined, and he will be lucky not to die.

Because of this, now the traitorous ministers in the Great Song Dynasty are in charge, and the right way is not clear, even if there are those who care about the people's society, they can only endure bitterly, but they can't really do anything for the country. However, traitors and courtiers like Gao Yu and Liang Shicheng have prominent positions and great authority, and they are all called Bainuo.

Since openly opposing it will only bring death to themselves, these officials have no choice but to find another way. And for these civil officials, the most direct and effective way is to question Sun Tu's military exploits in Jiangnan, so as to achieve the effect of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle - as long as the imperial court does not have to reward Jiangnan soldiers and horses again, then this method of redemption does not need to be implemented?

Thinking about this, many courtiers made a big fuss about the first battle of Sun Tuhuzhou, thinking that there were still unclear places in this great victory, and the court was afraid that it would be suspected of indiscriminate reward if the court rewarded him so much; Or they think that the number of defeated enemies has been misreported, and they must send officials south to inquire before they can be accurate...... Anyway, it is all kinds of provocative suspicions, just to deny the merits of Sun Tu and the Shandong army. Anyway, the Chinese officials of the dynasty have always had a sense of superiority over the military generals, let alone look down on their merits, so naturally they are talking nonsense at will, and they have no worries at all.

In view of this, Gao Yu also took advantage of the situation and began to add fuel to the fire, planning to characterize Sun Tu as an occasional small victory, which is difficult to say.

Just when the stroke of the DPRK was moving towards this side, there was another good news from Jiangnan, which instantly made the Manchu officials stop their mouths - outside Suzhou, the Great Song Dynasty officials and troops surrounded and annihilated more than 10,000 anti-army divisions, almost completely annihilated the enemy army, and won a big victory!

In only five or six days, Jiangnan won successive victories, which was so exciting that even the people of Tokyo cheered, and it was impossible for the imperial court to save money and not give a reward. The law of redemption was also successfully implemented under such circumstances......

And at this time, many people's attention has shifted from this decree to the overall situation of Jiangnan, and the successive victories have made the monarchs and ministers and the people rejoice, feeling that it is not far from the day of pacifying the thieves in Jiangnan, Zhu Mian has already been thrown out of the clouds by Zhao Ji, at this time, if someone asks him about Zhu Mian again, he will only say one sentence, die well!
