With the holy decree of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, a wave of enthusiasm was set off in the Great Song Dynasty, from the Tai Academy to the locality, the people shouted long live, especially the children of the poor family were even more worried about Zhao Ji's goodness. At the same time, Song Huizong was another holy decree, everyone in the court and the officials were in danger, those officials who did not do anything with the imperial court were worried, and those who had real skills but were not reused.

In the past, it took a long time for the decree to be issued to the local level, and it needed to be issued through the Privy Council, which was a cumbersome and frustrating process. Zhao Ji changed his previous style, and this time the decree was promulgated by him personally, and no one could delay for a moment, so it was conveyed to the local area very quickly.

From the day Zhao Ji's will was issued, the children of the poor families in the Great Song Dynasty praised Zhao Ji for his goodness, and even kept silent about the previous badness. Because of this move, Zhao Ji's prestige has been greatly enhanced, and any unfavorable officials, no matter who they are, will be dismissed.

The decree to abolish the 'Three Rounding Law' was issued, and the military department and the household department received the holy decree to transfer troops and send generals, and also requisitioned grain and grass to transport to the northwest front, giving strong support to the Song army. After receiving the order, Zhe Kecun was stunned for a long time, and didn't say anything, so he set off for Zhending Mansion and led the army to take precautions.

As for Li Gang and the others, they also set off one after another, and Zhao Ji's words were also brought to the fold after saving, he was shocked again, and shouted long live, and the stone in his heart was put down. Previously, Zhao Ji had always adopted a policy of gentleness and would not move troops easily.

Now, Zhao Ji personally issued an order and conveyed an edict, which means that as long as the Western Xia Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom cross the Lei Chi by half a step, they can counterattack, and there is no need to be afraid. Zhao Ji's strong attitude finally aroused the vigilance of the monarch of the Jin State and the lord of the Western Xia.

At this time, Zhao Ji personally revised a letter and sent it to the monarch of the Jin State, clarifying his position and expressing his intentions, and the monarch of the Jin State also allowed the Song army to attack Western Xia and recapture the lost city. When the monarch of Western Xia heard that the Great Song Dynasty had sent a large army, he did not think so, but only felt ridiculous.

Because in their opinion, the Great Song Dynasty was facing the enemy in front of him, and how to easily send troops to attack him, so he didn't care at all, until Li Gang and others led tens of thousands of troops, and the soldiers came to the city, and they suddenly realized that the war was about to break out. At this time, the lord of Western Xia immediately panicked, and after judging the situation, he decided to return the captured city, and once again bowed to the Great Song Dynasty.

After this incident, the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty did not clash head-on, but the Western Xia monarch saw the position of Song Huizong, and the monarch of the Jin State maneuvered around, only to understand that Zhao Ji was not as cowardly as before, and the only way to avoid the edge for now was to temporarily avoid the edge, so the battle had not really begun, and the Song army was victorious.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty were boiling up and down, cheering, but Zhao Ji was not happy, but frowned, and said: "In this way, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom have formed an alliance, and there will be endless troubles!" ”

Zhao Gou bowed down and asked, "Father, why are you worried?" ”

"This time, the Great Song Dynasty sent a large army to attack the Western Xia, and I wanted to test the meaning of the Western Xia lord, but I didn't expect that the Jin State and the Western Xia had already formed an alliance." Zhao Ji sighed worriedly, "The lord of the Western Xia Kingdom bowed down to the Great Song Dynasty, and he also bowed down to the Jin Kingdom, but I am afraid that his ambitions are not small!" ”

"I guess that the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom has other plans, and at the moment the Jin State is hostile to the Liao State, and the Jin State and the Liao State are strong and strong, and the two tigers will be injured when they fight. No matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial and disadvantageous to the Great Song Dynasty, but the lord of the Western Xia State is in disobedience to the Yin, and he is only afraid that either the Jin State and the Liao State will declare war on the Great Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia army will definitely encroach on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty again, and it has to be guarded again! ”

"Gou'er, how did I let you do?"

Zhao Gou replied: "Back to my father, my sons have already done it, this is the roster, please take a look at it!" ”

Zhao Ji took the roster submitted by Zhao Gou, which was densely filled with everyone's names, not only that, but also his political achievements. Zhao Ji didn't look at them one by one, but turned directly to the end, there were more than 30 pieces of paper, and saw that 1,458 were written at the end.

"Are there really so many?" Zhao Jitie's face was blue and angry.

Zhao Gou replied truthfully: "Back to my father, this is the number of people who have been carefully checked according to the will of my father, but the officials in Bianjing, as well as the roster submitted by several larger prefectures, are summarized. If we continue to get to the bottom of it, there are more than 4,000 people in a few. ”

"Every year, the imperial court distributes a total of one million taels, if these people are completely eliminated, not only to remove the tumor for the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the future troubles, but also to arrange the Tai Academy and Jinshi as officials, it is a double win. With such a large number of people, if they are deposed at one time, I am afraid that some people will not be convinced, and it will inevitably cause a shock in the imperial court. ”

The practice of corruption and bribery among officials in the Great Song Dynasty was prevalent, and even though the imperial court distributed money every year, there were still many officials who used their power for personal gain, and even deceived their superiors and subordinates. Zhao Ji, as the monarch of the Great Song Dynasty, was not that he didn't know, but that he couldn't move at that time, and the timing was wrong.

Although Zhao Ji was ready, he was still angry and shocked when he saw such a large number of people. Pan Lianggui mentioned before that there were no vacant positions in the court, so it was impossible to place Jinshi who had achieved fame. Zhao Ji decided to carry out a complete purge and eliminate all the officials who did nothing at once, but he didn't expect that the number of people would be so large, far beyond his expectations.

In addition, this holy decree was also promulgated by Zhao Ji himself. Now, Zhao Ji is a little embarrassed, on the one hand, there are Jinshi who have achieved fame, and on the other hand, there are more than 4,000 idle officials.

"Father, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it!" Seeing that his father was hesitant, Zhao Gou didn't care about the way of the monarch and the minister, so he said straight to the point: "Although the number of people is a bit large, it is imperative to eliminate these people for the Great Song Dynasty. If the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are all like these people, I am afraid that the situation in the Great Song Dynasty will be even more unfavorable in the future, and the only way to do so is to completely eliminate them. ”

"Do you really want to do this?" Zhao Ji hesitated and sighed.

Zhao Gou said loudly: "Returning to my father, this is your holy decree from my father, you have no jokes!" The children of the poor families in the world shouted long live after seeing the holy decree, and those who had achieved fame and had not yet entered the ranks were even more jubilant. If the father is hesitant at this moment, he is afraid that it will not only be the hearts of the children of the poor in the world, but even those Jinshi will complain. ”

"The father must fulfill his promise, and the strong man should have the determination to break his wrist. This complete elimination will inevitably cause shocks in the imperial court and touch the interests of some people, but the Great Song Dynasty is the world of the Zhao family and the world of the father, how can they be allowed to decide, everything is up to the father. ”

"If the father and emperor do not make a decision for a long time, those jinshi will not be able to obtain official positions, and they are afraid that they will have the heart to serve the country and will not be able to stick to their hearts, but they are afraid that the court will be inherited by the children of the official eunuchs, so that the cycle will be repeated, and I am afraid that the children of the family will be the mainstay, and where will the imperial power be placed at that time?"

Zhao Gou's words touched Zhao Ji, as the king of a country, the most taboo thing is for someone to shake his throne, which is a big taboo. Zhao Gou directly said the stakes of this matter, Zhao Ji had to pay attention to it, and shouted loudly: "Nothing is allowed to shake the Zhao family, no one is allowed!" …… Go'er, go for it! I want to return the great Song Lang Lang Qiankun, and the power of heaven will last forever! ”
