Zhao Gou looked at his father in a daze, and thought, "Which one is this singing by my father?" How can it be like a different person in the blink of an eye? ”

"Why did the emperor canonize the Liangshan thieves? Do you really want to recruit them and collect them for national use? Gao Yu frowned, lowered his head and pondered.

Seed Master Dao, Liu Zhongwu and the others looked at each other, and they felt a little strange in their hearts, and they couldn't figure out what Song Huizong was thinking, as if what happened before was joking, and they didn't really want to kill the Liangshan generals. However, the ministers of the DPRK and China really saw the anger in Song Huizong's eyes, and they couldn't fake it at all, and they were really ready to push Song Jiang and others out of the noon gate and behead them to show the public.

Song Huizong saw that Song Jiang and the others were dumbfounded, and said with a slight smile: "Chief Song, why don't you quickly receive the decree and thank you?" ”

Song Jiang hurriedly led the generals under his command to shout in unison: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

"Since then, you are no longer thieves, nor are you rebels against the Great Song Dynasty, but the good generals of the Great Song Dynasty and the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty." Song Huizong smiled, and then said: "From now on, you are the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and I will pass on my decree: all officials in the DPRK and China, regardless of their official positions, as long as they bring up the old matter again, will be punished according to law." ”

Song Jiang said respectfully: "Thank you, Emperor! ”

"Lord Song and you, maybe you are still thinking about why I wanted to kill you before I did? Now, don't you have some doubts about rewarding you with official positions? Song Huizong looked at everyone with a smile, Song Jiang and the others all nodded, they were indeed a little puzzled, and heard him continue: "I have already checked your deeds, and I can be regarded as half of the people in the court, and they have all held official positions in the court, but it is a pity that some people in the court are jealous of the virtuous, so that you have suffered injustice, so you will choose such a path." ”

"As the king of a country, I have a lot of domestic affairs in the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't have time to take care of everything, and I can't do everything, so I feel a little guilty about the people of the world. Gou Er also played in me, and the reason for mentioning this matter was that everything was quite heavy on taxation and servitude. However, every minister of the DPRK and China has to eat and drink, and the army of the DPRK and China also has to pay food and salary every year. ”

"If the generals of the army do not have enough food and salary, the combat effectiveness of the Great Song army will inevitably be sharply reduced, there will be no food and clothing, and there will be no silver to appease, and they will face the consequences of dying in battle at any time. Who is willing to join the army and serve the country? I also thought about the heavy taxation and servitude, and decided to allow the structure to play, and some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes could be exempted from all of them. ”

"Water can carry boats and capsize boats, and the people take food as the sky. If the people of the Great Song Dynasty have great complaints and resentment against me, who in the Great Song Dynasty will obey my holy decree, wouldn't it be in name only? The people have no worries about food and clothing and have finished their lives, I am the king of a country, I can't be the same as ordinary people, I want to think about the people of the world and the situation of the Great Song Dynasty, everything needs to start from the overall situation. ”

"Before, Cai Jing, Yang Jian and others made so many things in order to curry favor with Yu Zhen. Now that they are dead, these exorbitant taxes are removed, and there is no need to keep them. Spread my will: All the policies implemented by Yang Jian, Cai Jing and others will be removed and restored to the original level, and the country will have difficulty in giving these pressures to the people. ”

When Zhao Gou, Song Jiang and others heard that Song Huizong had issued a holy decree again, or to eliminate those holy decrees that should not exist, they couldn't help but shout in unison: "My emperor Shengming, long live, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Zong Ze, Seed Master Dao, Liu Zhongwu and others also shouted in unison: "My Emperor Shengming, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Then, Gao Yu and the others also shouted reluctantly: "My Emperor Shengming, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Song Huizong's move was not only conducive to the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, but also conducive to recovering the hearts of the people. After Song Huizong saw the chapter, he was also silent, and he hurriedly summoned Cai Wang Zhao to talk, not a minister of the court.

King Cai Zhao seemed to see Song Huizong summoning himself, and he hurriedly entered the palace after knowing the truth of the matter. Zhao seems to tell the truth, it is indeed like Zhao Gou's play, exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, there are many names, the people are hungry, and all the harvest of the year is handed over to the imperial court, which makes the people complain and suffer.

After that, King Cai reported all the information he collected to Song Huizong, only to know that he had ignored the government over the years, and the officials in the court and China were stunned that they were fake public and private, and there were many people who filled their private pockets, and even when Cai Jing, Yang Jian and others mentioned this matter, he felt that it was a good thing, and he agreed to benefit the country and the people.

I never thought of leaving the troubles, and I didn't find out the truth too much, so I left such a hidden danger. After Gao Yu and others came to power, they did not abolish this policy, but intensified it, which made the people's livelihood miserable. Song Huizong was angry, glanced at Gao Yu and the others with a little meaning, and saw that they also agreed, so he couldn't help but not have a seizure.

Gao Yu and others were reluctant, just because they still pursued the policies of Cai Jing, Yang Jian and others, not only did not remove them, but intensified them, and obtained millions of taels of gold from them every year. If Song Huizong decrees the abolition, then their income will be reduced a lot, and where can they still live a life of paper gold drunk like before.

"The reason why I am asking for guilt is because you are known as heroes, and I also want to see if you can really work together." Song Huizong said with a smile, "As expected, you are really brothers, and I am very pleased." Since you can be born and die for your brother, then I will give you an official position, and you will surely be faithful. ”

"I have given you an official position, and I only hope that you can be loyal to the imperial court, and do not live up to my expectations!"

Song Jiang and the others suddenly realized that Song Huizong was not really a teacher to ask for guilt, but it was just a test. When they saw that Song Huizong abolished the old system and exempted harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, they admired him even more in their hearts, and felt that Song Huizong was not like the rumors outside, who could only write poems and songs, but was a literati.

Song Jiang and the others hurriedly bowed down and shouted in unison: "The ministers should do their best to be loyal to the emperor and the Great Song Dynasty, and never let down the emperor's trust." ”

Song Huizong nodded and said solemnly: "Okay!" The heroes of Liangshan are hard to chase after each other, so I'll wait and see. If you are found to be like those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you are a traitor and a traitor, and you will be killed without mercy if you are discovered, I hope you will not forget your promise today. ”

"Are you guilty?" After Song Huizong dealt with the affairs of Liang Shan and the others, he looked at Zhao Gou again and shouted coldly.

Zhao Gou knew that he had collided with Song Huizong, and confronted Gao Yu in the court, so he couldn't help but bow his head and replied respectfully: "Erchen is guilty!" ”

Song Huizong said in a deep voice: "As the king of Guangping County of the Great Song Dynasty and the envoy of the Privy Council, he openly confronted the minister in the court, and also spoke wildly, I was very disappointed, and I rushed into it, and I was punished with dismissal and dismissal according to the law. However, in this recruitment, you have made great contributions, and you have recruited such a good general for me, and your merits and demerits are offset by neither punishment nor reward, do you have anything to say? ”

"Erchen has nothing to say, thank you!"

Where did Zhao Gou dare to collide again, the previous collision was because he took into account his own commitment, and it was a matter of national affairs, Song Jiang and others were really talents, and they would never be allowed to be killed rashly. At this time, this matter fell on him, and Zhao Gou felt that it was not very important. If punishment is really to be imposed, it is not as simple as removing officials from office, and the problem will be even more serious. As for Zhao'an's credit, it is just an excuse for Song Huizong to rely on.

At this time, Zhao Gou can only obediently admit his mistakes, if he is stubborn and does not admit his mistakes, the consequences will be even more serious. Zhao Gou knows this truth deeply. At the same time, Gao Yu and the others were a little unhappy in their hearts, they wished that Zhao Gou would be punished by Song Huizong, so that they could have the opportunity to suppress Zhao Gou.

After Song Huizong dealt with Zhao Gou's matter, he looked at Gao Yu again, and shouted: "Captain Gao, I didn't give an order to let the guards in, but you eagerly gave the order, what is your intention?" ”

Zhao Gou was not severely punished, and Gao Yu was still a little sorry, but he didn't want Song Huizong's words to be directed at him, which made him a little flustered, and only then did he remember that he was also rude. So, Gao Yu wanted to answer, but was stopped by Song Huizong, and said: "I will remember you as a protector, and this time I will not blame the past, if I dare to have such a thing happen next time, I will not be merciful." ”

Gao Yu wiped his cold sweat, he also knew in his heart that Song Huizong was for balance, so he couldn't refute it, so he could only accept such an ending silently. However, Zhao Gou watched Song Huizong handle it properly, slowly and meticulously, and resolved all these things in an orderly manner, and experienced Song Huizong's uncertain look, and couldn't help but think: "It's really a companion like a tiger, and if you are not careful, you will have to fall to the ground!" ……”
