Zhao Zhen spoke, not to debate with these deposed officials, nor to quarrel, but to make a final decision!

"A few days ago, someone was disgruntled and beat Moon Xianggong, the prime minister was able to hold the boat in his belly, and Moon Xianggong did not pursue it...... After all, the dismissal of so many officials at once is a move on everyone's jobs. The imperial court did not control it well in the past, and there was a disadvantage of too many redundant personnel, and I was slack, which is wrong! ”

Zhao Zhen lowered his posture very low, and changed his words: "However, it is a top priority to eliminate officials and rectify the rule of officials, and it cannot be changed if it is not changed." I will never retract my fate, let alone change course. This time, you beat the drum, I personally went to the court, and all the ministers sat down with you to talk to everyone, told everyone what the court thought, and explained some doubts for you...... The so-called punishment without teaching no longer exists. ”

"I am determined to change the law, and I will never bow my head and change because of the opposition of some people...... This change is completely different from the new policy of Qingli, I have thought it through, and I have also discussed it with all the Aiqing in the court, it can be said that this is the result of my repeated thinking for more than ten years. In the 100 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been many drawbacks, internal and external troubles, and if the law is not completely changed, there will be a crisis of national destruction. Don't forget, the Great Song Dynasty was far less powerful than the Han and Tang dynasties, and the Khitan and Western Xia were eyeing each other. If the law is not changed, not only will the people die, but also the foreigners. I have been in the past forty years, and I must not be a sinner who ruined the Great Song Dynasty! ”

……

Zhao Zhen talked a lot, and when he saw noon, he waved his hand and announced his retreat.

Among all of them, the most depressed may be Feng Jing.

This three-yuan and first-class scholar was extremely high-minded before, and even felt that he had a chance to rank among the rulers and surpass his father-in-law......

Beat the drum, lead the hundred officials to the palace, and theorize with the emperor.

Feng Jing longed for it, he talked loudly, eloquently and eloquently, convinced the hundred officials, and defeated all the rulers...... Even the emperor was conquered by him, not only retaining his official position, but also allowing him to go further and become a confidant...... There are always a lot of romantic ideas.

It's just that ideas are ideas after all, and after just two hours, all dreams have been shattered.

After Sima Guang entered the office, he relied on his father-in-law and Sanyuan Jidi, so he didn't want to make progress, was lazy and arrogant, and had no political achievements.

Feng Jing has no room for argument at all, that's what he did!

Sanyuan and the first, the reincarnation of Wenqu Star in the sky, has such a proud academic background and such a deep background...... Even if you don't have to do anything, you can still be ranked as a ruler, lying on the merit book, and generations will not be able to eat and wear......

It's just that this change completely shattered Feng Jing's myth!

Three yuan and the first, nothing remarkable!

If you don't do anything, if you don't work, you'll be asked to go home and pick up your child!

There was no discussion at all.

When Feng Jing went down in embarrassment and walked past the hundred officials, most of the officials, especially the cutting-edge civil officials represented by Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun and others, all clapped their hands and cheered!

"Your Majesty's move is enough to compare with the reward of Di Xianggong back then!" Zhang Dun laughed, "Di Xianggong is brilliant, loyal and brave, and has a good way of governing the army, and it is natural for him to serve as a privy envoy." ”

"That's right, the imperial court does not distinguish between the noble and the low by civil and military affairs, but only by merit. Now the dismissal of Feng Zhuangyuan's official position is to tell everyone that academic qualifications are not important, background is not important, as long as you enter the official career, with real skills and real merits, no one wants to be lazy and slippery! Otherwise, if you are three yuan and the first, you will also be dismissed! ”

"The rewards and punishments are clear, so that people can be convinced, and the court is really refreshing and energetic!"

……

The officials talked loudly and did not shy away from it, for fear that Feng Jing would not hear it.

The champion was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, he staggered out of the palace gate, and his heart was dead. Notoriety, ruined, what's the fun of living......

Feng Jing raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky, and suddenly rushed out of a group of people from both sides, picked up Feng Jing and ran, faster than a rabbit, and disappeared into the alley in a blink of an eye.

Feng Da Zhuangyuan's head was dizzy, and he didn't know what was going on, so he took people away.

Thanks to Feng Jing's fast running, not long after he left, a group of people came to him to settle accounts.

It's none other than the children of Xijing's clan, a bunch of young master lambs.

Originally, the dismissal of officials this time had nothing to do with the clan, and whoever made Feng Jing cheap, he had to involve the clan. Now it's okay, tens of thousands of people, and the big guys' jobs have been smashed. Who is not looking for you, Feng Jing to settle accounts?

You're a girl, you're not beaten!

In the next few days, the capital was full of angry clan disciples, and there was no doubt that if Feng Jing fell into their hands, he was guaranteed to be sent to Fanzi Hutong to be a rabbit minister, presumably the chrysanthemums of the three yuan and the first should be very valuable...... If you don't torture him to the point that you can't survive, you can't die, and the big guy doesn't need to be surnamed Zhao!

"Feng Da Zhuangyuan is lucky, someone actually saved him!"

The corners of Wang Ningan's mouth rose, and he smiled faintly: "Found out?" Who's behind the help? ”

Chen Shunzhi immediately said: "I found out some eyebrows, and it is said that the people from the Elderly Society rescued him." ”

"The Elder Society?"

"Well, in a poetry club organized by a group of Zhishi officials in Xijing, it is stipulated that only those who are over the age of sixteen and have been high-ranking officials at the level of Zaizhi can join it."

"Oh?"

Wang Ningan was curious: "Is Fu Bi a member of the Elder Society?" ”

"Yes, not only him, like Liang Shi, Song Zhen, Chen Zhizhong, Wu Yu, several old guys are all among them, and their strength should not be underestimated."

Wang Ningan nodded, sure enough!

Reforming the rule of officials is not a trivial matter, and it will certainly affect the interests of many people.

So many civil servants will not sit still.

Xijing has always been the base camp of the old people in Shimono, and if there is no action, it will be strange!

"My lord, do you want to kill these old ones?" Chen Shunzhi suggested: "These old guys rely on their qualifications, rely on the old and sell the old, and add chaos to the imperial court, this time they beat the drum, and the subordinates thought that it was definitely not something that Feng Jing and others could think of, there must be the shadow of these old foxes, or rather, it was their idea to encourage Feng Jing and others to rush to the front." ”

Wang Ningan pondered for a moment and quickly nodded.

Judging from Feng Jing's combat effectiveness, except for the name of Sanyuan and the first, he has no other strengths, he is a war scumbag at all, if no one is in charge, so many officials will not listen to him.

"Well, your opinion is good, these old people are really an eyesore, they drove them out of the court, they are not honest, they continue to make waves, lest the world will not be chaotic, if you don't teach them a lesson, it will be the opposite!"

Wang Ningan pondered for a long time, "I'll go to Your Majesty, and you also have to check this Senior Ying Society to see if you have any handles, and then take it down together!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Shunzhi immediately went down.

Wang Ningan did not hesitate, arrived at the palace, saw Zhao Zhen, and told the matter again.

Uncle Zhao looked very peaceful, he smiled slightly, and after listening to Wang Ning'an's introduction, he just said lightly: "I already knew." ”

"Then, why did Your Majesty connive at them and cause chaos to the court?"

"Hahaha, Jingping, what do you think I should do?"

"Of course, it was to be caught, whipped, tiger chairs, beaten boards, and heads chopped off...... Didn't you cut two anyway? Wang Ningan suggested indignantly.

Zhao Zhen shook his head.

"Alas, Jingping, you are not as calm as before, such a levelless idea, can you also come up with it?"

Wang Ning'an made a big red face, he scratched his head embarrassedly, "The Son of Heaven is diligent in government, and hundreds of officials can be more relaxed." ”

"So, I was too lazy before?"

"No, no, no...... The minister didn't mean that. Wang Ningan waved his hand again and again, he didn't become stupid and lazy, but the former Zhao Zhen, even if he told him, it was useless.

This time, the emperor was very decisive in the face of hundreds of officials, maybe Uncle Zhao's courage really came up......

"Even if I have the energy, I won't have the same knowledge as them, they are all a bunch of old ministers, and even they can't tolerate them, and others will look down on me. Besides, they sang poetry and harmony, and they didn't do anything bad, so don't kill them all. ”

"Your Majesty, aren't they doing a bad thing by instigating hundreds of officials to beat the drums and go against the imperial court?" Wang Ningan exaggerated.

"Jingping, don't forget, if it weren't for Feng Jing's question, how would I reform the clan?"

Uncle Zhao smiled, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit like an old fox who stole a chicken!

The clan is indeed a trouble, and this trouble will get bigger and bigger, now that the Great Song Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, there are only tens of thousands of clan disciples, but in less than twenty or thirty years, the number of clans will increase tenfold.

After all, eat well, live well, and don't worry about women, the biggest hobby of most clans is to have children, don't look at the emperor's heirs, but many clan children, they give birth to ten, eight, or even dozens, it is normal.

Generally calculated according to the law of population reproduction, as long as there are more than 10,000 people, it will enter the eruption period and expand rapidly.

Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, even hundreds of thousands, millions, that is, a matter of thirty or fifty years...... Zhao Zhen has been worried and doesn't know how to start.

Who knew that Feng Jing's angry words actually gave the emperor a great opportunity.

Yes, if you want to reform, you have to change it together.

Our Zhao family children should take the lead in setting an example and being an example for the people of the world.

"This can be regarded as a good thing they have done, I have given a decree to the king of Beihai County, let him draw up a strategy, how to reform the clan, reduce expenses, for the sake of some merits, I will spare the Elder Society once...... If they dare to cause trouble next time, I'm not welcome. ”

This is not only like saying it to Wang Ningan, but also like saying it to yourself.

After all, Uncle Zhao is in the emperor's pile, and he is still humane, most of the elders of the Qiying Society are decades of old ministers, and the monarchs and ministers get along, even if it is a dog, they have feelings, and they can move the knife casually, and Zhao Zhen can't do it.

"Your Majesty, you are magnanimous, but the minister is worried that in the eyes of some people, it will become weak and bulliable, and they have to inch in and be unscrupulous, and the changes will not be able to be implemented." Wang Ningan said worriedly.

Zhao Zhen smiled, "No, I will give them a warning!" ”

In Zhao Zhen's hand, there was a thick stack of lists, and the first one was Wang Su - killing the monarch and plotting rebellion, punishing the nine clans!!
