Zhao Zhi wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it, his idea was very simple, it was to completely reform the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty. It can't be said that it is not bad, but the times are different, and thorough changes are needed. Originally, Zhao Gou wanted to start from the essence, and the most fundamental thing in the Great Song Dynasty was the official system of **.

Corruption and bribery, abuse of power for personal gain, gangs and other habits, Zhao Gou wants to change the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty, the most important thing is to completely eliminate the cancer in the court, and these people bear the brunt of the punishment, only this matter will never waver, even if it encounters great difficulties, it must be completed.

It just so happened that Zhao Ji had this intention, and the imperial examination was an opportunity. Before Zhao Gou put it forward, Zhao Ji had such an idea. So, Zhao Gou took advantage of the trend and added fuel to the fire. Although Zhao Gouquan leaned towards the Great Song Dynasty, there were only some things that had to be done by the emperor, and the holy decree was issued, and the action was very simple.

I didn't know if I didn't investigate, but after a trace, I found that half of the officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee were not clean, except for those officials who were high and powerful and could not act without authorization, from the first-rank officials to the ninth-grade officials, there were too many moths. The list submitted by Zhao Gou is only a small part, not all.

In addition, the more than 4,000 people Zhao Gou replied with a lot of criminal records and must be dealt with as soon as possible, and the real number is far more than that. However, Zhao Gou didn't dare to say it to Pan, just because he said it all, Zhao Ji didn't necessarily agree, so he had to hide it.

Now, Zhao Ji has agreed, so Zhao Gou has no scruples, and is ready to completely eliminate these moths in the court.

"Ninth brother, does the emperor really learn from the pain and make up his mind to completely eliminate it?" Zhao Yougong took the roster, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was a hot potato, and remembered what Zhao Gou said to himself, he couldn't help but doubt, he didn't expect the emperor to really agree.

Zhao Gou smiled treacherously: "Of course you can't tell everything, the list submitted is only a part, and the number of people I answered has also decreased slightly." If you say it all, I'm afraid that my father's character will not dare to do this, and even if I really act, I'm afraid that it will hurt my muscles and bones, and I must treat it carefully. ”

Zhao Yougong couldn't help but laugh and said: "In this way, you deliberately concealed it? If the emperor knows, it is a crime of deception! ”

Zhao Gou shook his head and said firmly: "Categorically not, as long as you really start to act, you can't give up halfway, and this matter is handed over to our Supervision Yuan and Criminal Department." If these people on the list are corrupt and bribery, abuse power for personal gain, do not do practical things, and other bad deeds, they will be eliminated. ”

"Brother, what do you think of the current official system of the Great Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Yougong replied without hesitation: "**unbearable! ”

Zhao Gou nodded solemnly and agreed: "My brother has not been in the court for many years, and he knows the disadvantages of the imperial court, and his father must also know it." It's just that at that time, the power was sideways, and the heart was powerless. Now, the Great Song Dynasty is facing the Jin Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom, and the Western Xia, and wants to encroach on the Great Song Dynasty, do you think the father will sit idly by and let the Great Song Dynasty fall into the hands of others? ”

Zhao Yougong shook his head, how could Zhao Ji, as the emperor, willingly give up his country to others!

"It is precisely because my father is unwilling to sit idly by and do nothing, he is bound to want to fight, and he wants to make the Great Song Tianwei powerful." The head of Zhao Gou's analysis is to say, "My father's wish is to let the Great Song Dynasty rise, but because of the previous system, he has not dared to act, and the power is not in his hands, so he can only watch the Great Song Dynasty grovel in front of the Liao State and the Jin State, which is a shame." ”

"Now, there are Western Xia who have taken advantage of the situation to seize the city, as if they don't take the Great Song Dynasty in their eyes, and even the previous agreement has been torn up, and this matter has been done too much, and the father will definitely not agree. If it weren't for this incident that deeply stimulated the father, I was afraid that the father would not easily move troops, so he could only continue to endure it. ”

"It is an immutable truth that my father has been on the throne for a long time, and the power has fallen, I think my father knows this well. It's just that there is a strong enemy outside, and there must not be any fluctuations inside the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise it will surrender without a fight, the rear will be unstable, and how can the front fight with peace of mind. ”

"Even though my father was unwilling to remove these moths, the situation forced him to do it. If these moths were always there, they would be far more terrifying than having a strong enemy outside. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this law not only recovers the hearts of the people who have been lost, but also reassures the generals in front, do you think it should be done? ”

Zhao Yougong replied as a matter of course: "Of course it should!" ”

Zhao Gou continued: "This is one of them, and there is another point, that is, these people hinder the way for the Great Song Dynasty to select talents. The imperial examination will be held every year in the DPRK and China, and the martial arts examination has ended, so the imperial examination is bound to select the champion, and the awarding of official positions is the virtue of the emperor, do you think they will still be co-opted? ”

"It's not that the children of the eunuchs don't have real talent and learning, but the children of the poor family really see the people's suffering, and sincerely do things for the people, for the country and the people, which is the great righteousness. If the children of a poor family are officials, they will benefit the people of one side, enrich the people and strengthen the country, and not enrich the country and strengthen the people. ”

"Everyone praises the emperor for his goodness, and will not talk about the emperor's badness, and the emperor's will be issued to the state and county, no matter who will abide by it, then the people will cultivate with peace of mind, and deliver a steady stream of grain and grass for the army, and the treasury will have more taxes."

"Only then can everything be truly rich and strong. The greatest wish of the people is to live and work in peace and contentment, not a life of fine clothes and food, the children of the eunuchs do not understand the suffering of the people, how do they know what the people need, and there is power behind them, I am afraid that there will be many officials and prestige, and there will be few practical things, which is not conducive to the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the rule of the father. ”

"Whether it is the Songjiang uprising or Fang La's rebellion, the most fundamental reason is that there are too many moths in the court, the bigger the official position, the greater the personal gain, and the exploitation of the people at all levels is only sporadic and difficult to maintain, do you think these people will still obey the holy decree?"

Zhao Yougong was silent, Zhao Go's words were true. Even if there is still some distance to completely eliminate the moths in the DPRK and China, this can be regarded as making the official system of the Great Song Dynasty clearer, and it is only good for the Great Song Dynasty. However, if you do this, the consequences will be very serious, and you will inevitably encounter many obstacles, but you will have to complete it.

Zhao Yougong also knew that there were many problems in the official system of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was powerless. Now, Zhao Gou not only pointed out the pros and cons, but also analyzed it thoroughly, and Zhao Yougong was also worried about what the emperor was worried about. However, Zhao Gou is bold and not afraid of any hardships, which is Zhao Gou's greatest charm, which Zhao Yougong has to admire.

As Zhao Gou said, this purge operation is imperative, for the sake of long-term interests, there must be the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, and he must not hesitate, if there is any hesitation or vacillation, I am afraid that this road will not go on, and the final damage is the Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji, and the only way to take action is to take action.
