Chapter 209: Reorganizing the Dynasty

Zhu Mian glanced at the crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Yu and others, and saw that they all turned their heads, and their hearts were already clear that they would definitely die. He was promoted to the second rank, and he hadn't enjoyed his life well, how could he die like this, crying and begging for mercy, begging Song Huizong to spare his life.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Spare your life! ……”

Song Huizong roared angrily: "Spare your life? If you fail to live up to my expectations, do not repent, and become even worse, you deserve death. Someone came, pushed him out of the noon gate and sentenced him to death by Ling Chi, and even the three clans. Anyone who has anything to do with Zhu Mian will be dismissed from his official position regardless of the size of his official position, and whoever dares to beg for mercy for this guy will be punished by joint sitting. ”

"Your Majesty! Emperor! ……”

Zhu Mian was stripped off his court clothes by the guards on both sides, took off his official boots, and the voice of pleading was endless, Song Huizong turned a deaf ear, it seemed that this matter was indeed endangering the bottom line in his heart, and he was blatantly ****** private, corrupt and bribed, especially in Suzhou.

The Minister of Chinese Wu of the DPRK did not understand that Emperor Huizong of Song was so angry for a while, and after thinking about it, he was relieved. The place where Zhu Mian is located is Suzhou, you must know that the matter of Fangla's uprising has not really subsided, and his behavior does not take the safety of the Great Song Dynasty in his heart, and only cares about personal enjoyment, and he is a courtier in vain.

Fang La's uprising was suppressed, but it also paid a lot of price, if Zhu Mian came again, the people were forced to complain, and the people were not happy, but I was afraid that there would be another Fang La. Nowadays, there are still popular uprisings in the Great Song Dynasty, but they are not as grand as Fangla, and the pacification of the Fangla uprising has also played a certain deterrent role.

If the officials force the people to rebel, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty, which was finally stable at that time, will have to experience war-torn years, and what is worse is that the civil war continues, which directly consumes the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty. If at this time, a foreign enemy invades the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be more luck and less luck, so I have to take precautions.

"Spread my will: Today, I will revoke the Ying Feng Bureau, stop the construction of the city tower in Suzhou, and dismiss all the people who have been recruited. In addition, those who arrested the Zhu family and colluded with them were all executed on the spot, their homes were confiscated, and their property was confiscated. ”

Song Huizong conveyed the holy decree with an expressionless face, and then continued: "I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, but I hope that all the adults will be loyal to the monarch and love the country and love the people like sons. If you are a traitor, a deceitful person, a person who uses power for personal gain, I will not tolerate it. ”

"From today onwards, I will investigate the officials in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and all those who are corrupt and bribery, commit adultery, deceive superiors and subordinates, form parties for personal gain, hide filth and dirt, and enrich their own pockets will be killed without mercy. Spread my will, all those who are promoted to the fourth rank or above must find out the past, and if there is any money from accepting bribes, there will be no forgiveness; Those who do not seek the well-being of the people and want to rise step by step will be immediately beheaded. ”

Zhao Gou hurriedly shouted: "My Emperor Shengming, My Emperor Shengming!" ”

The crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Yu and others reluctantly agreed, they didn't dare to go against the holy will, if they really angered Long Yan again, even if the prince was afraid that he would have to be reduced to a commoner, and if he didn't die, he would have nothing. It was only at this time that the prince and others understood that Song Huizong had been holding back, which was one less excuse.

Now, Zhao Gou is based on the court by killing Zhu Mian, and Song Huizong also took this opportunity to make trouble. Song Huizong, who was shown in front of people in the past, was mediocre and incompetent, but in fact it was not like that, how could the real emperor not have a little ups and downs, and he had been forbearing, knowing that he broke out today.

The official rule of the Great Song Dynasty is unbearable, as Song Huizong, how can he not know, but he is helpless, part of the annual financial income of the imperial court, part of it is distributed to the army, most of it is used for the expenses of the imperial court, and the real balance is less, even he himself has wasted a lot of silver taels, which he knows.

Now, Song Huizong no longer needs to hide, the plan in his heart is about to be implemented, and then Zhu Mian's death will be completely reshuffled.

If there is no rise of Zhao Gou, I am afraid that Song Huizong will follow the tide, and his wish for many years has not been fulfilled, and he has been willing to be a mediocre and incompetent emperor, obsessed with calligraphy and painting, ignoring the dynasty, so that the court is smoky, forming parties for personal gain, and there are many factions.

If it weren't for the last resort, extraordinary things could only be done by extraordinary means, this time he was a real dictatorship, no one could listen to anyone's advice, and if anyone refuted it, they would all be denied, and no one could shake his determination, so that the ministers of the court and the central government could get to know Song Huizong again.

"Lord Wang!" Song Huizong shouted in a low voice.

Wang Boyan bowed down and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"I appointed you as the Xuanfu envoy of Suzhou, and immediately went to Suzhou to raid Zhu Mian's family, and thoroughly investigate the Suzhou case with full authority for you, and you have the right to cut it first and then play it."

"Obey the order!"

Wang Boyan was the one who stood by Song Huizong's side from beginning to end, and he was also one of the ministers who was not attached to any faction. Moreover, Song Huizong once summoned this person alone to test his talents, and he did have some ability, so Song Huizong appointed him to go to Suzhou to clean up this mess, and with his ability, he must handle it properly.

"Where is Liu Yanqing, the commander of Xuanfu?" Song Huizong shouted again.

Liu Yanqing bowed and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"I ordered you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to Suzhou with Lord Wang, and you must take care of everything! If you dare to make a nuisance, you can be arrested! If there is any mistake in Suzhou, you don't have to go back to Beijing to see me! ”

Liu Yanqing shouted and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"Where's the Overseer?" Song Huizong shouted.

The supervision of the imperial history is not high, only from the seven grades, generally speaking, the seven officials are not allowed to enter the court to participate in politics, only the supervision of the imperial history has this privilege. There is no qualification to enter and exit the main gate of the court, and can only enter and exit through the side door, and you are not allowed to go to the palace unless you do something. The restrictions were only lifted at the beginning of the new century.

However, the power to supervise the imperial history is quite heavy, and the internal and external officials are under its supervision, and the authority is very wide, which is quite feared by the officials. At this time, it was a generation of famous ministers Xu Jingheng who served as the supervisor of the imperial history, who was honest and honest in his life, upright, jealous and hateful, worried about the country and the people, but he did not get the real attention of the imperial court.

Xu Jingheng bowed and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"As a supervisor of the imperial history, how can the behavior of hundreds of officials in the court escape your control, Zhu Mian, a wolf-hearted dog, deceived the superiors and subordinates, and acted mischiefly in Suzhou, as if he didn't take me seriously, how did you take on the role of supervising the imperial history?"

Song Huizong asked loudly: "I remember that you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and the rank of supervising the imperial history is not high, but you have great power, like Zhu Mian and others, you didn't find it in time, if it wasn't for the king of Guangping County to find out, I'm afraid that I am still in the dark, do you want me to be infamous before I want to say it?" ”

Xu Jingheng smiled bitterly, he refuted it, he didn't refute it, he couldn't refute it, he could only swallow all the pain into his stomach. It's not that he didn't play, but that all the concerts were stopped by the Privy Council, or Song Huizong himself didn't pay attention to it.

Since Song Huizong was thunderous and angry, how could he give up, he could only let it go, and did not dare to refute it in the slightest.

"Since you have nothing to say, it is inconvenient for you to stay in the position of supervising the imperial history, and you can be convinced if you are demoted to the deputy supervising imperial history?"

Xu Jingheng smiled reluctantly, bowed down and said, "Surrender!" ”

Song Huizong glanced at Xu Jingheng and asked him to retreat, then looked at Tong Guan and said, "Master Tong, as an envoy of the Privy Council, you are indifferent to such a big thing in Suzhou, and even I am in the dark, can you be guilty?" ”

Tong Guan felt guilty in his heart, he was openly and secretly helping Zhu Mian, so his voice also seemed to laugh a lot, and he trembled and said: "Minister, confess!" ”

"Privy Council envoys, you should also step down, and stay in the palace for a rest time!"

Tong Guan knew that Song Huizong had withdrawn the military power in his hands, but he had no choice but to obediently accept his fate. Moreover, Song Huizong made him feel at ease to be a national prince, and he no longer had any power in his hands. When the crown prince Zhao Huan heard this, he was also stunned, he didn't expect his father to make such a move.

"The Privy Council is in charge of the military, Wang Shaozai, you are in charge of Shangshu Province, and if there are such ill-intentioned people in the court, you will not be able to escape from it." Song Huizong looked at Wang Hao with a cold gaze, and shouted: "You can also go back to the house to rest!" As for the position in Shangshu Province, another merit can be filled! ”

Wang Hao was stunned, he didn't expect that he was also implicated in Zhu Mian's matter, so he had to accept his fate. Song Huizong glanced at the crown prince Zhao Huan and Gao Yu, the meaning was very obvious, and he saw a chill in the hearts of the two of them, but he didn't say anything, just glanced at it with a little deep meaning and then withdrew his gaze, making the nervous hearts of the two of them stretch out, and their backs were already soaked with sweat.

Even though they knew in their hearts that the storm would come, and they were prepared, they never thought that the core of this storm would actually be caused by the current emperor, and it was the power of the crown prince Zhao Huan who was hit, but Zhao Gou, the introduction of all this, seemed to have nothing to do, and looked at the excitement calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
