It is still the imperial hall of the Imperial Palace, and it is still the early dynasty, but two days apart, the court has changed greatly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ\。 qΒ5.c0m\

Xia Zhu's son, the third division of the salt and iron judge Xia An, he was only thirty years old, as if he was ten years old, two days ago he was high-spirited, now he is depressed, depressed, on the head, white in two days, a large area of emergence, the whole person looks, extremely downtrodden, and the officials who oppose the reform of salt tea, as if from the changes in the Xia An period, see the clues, are standing in the court in fear.

"I admire Xia Zhu very much!" Zhao Lei also began to slip away now, slipped to Wang Su's side, looked at Xia Anqi and said in a deep voice.

"I admire him too! died at such a price, and actually saved the Xia family, I always thought that the Xia family would be in a catastrophe this time! Wang Su looked at Xia Anqi and said in a deep voice.

"What can I do if I escape! The wealth accumulated by the Xia family over the years was copied by the secret guards sent by the official family, and Xia Zhu's death made the Xia family lose their backers, and the Xia An period had to keep filial piety for three years, and when he came out, I am afraid that the court will have no place to stand. Ouyang Xiu was like a ghost, haunted in the court, and suddenly appeared beside Wang Su and Zhao Lei, and said with a low smile.

"At least the Xia family has been preserved, sacrificing one person and saving the family, Xia Zhu is scheming!" Zhao Lei smiled slightly and sighed.

"The official family has a purpose, the salt tea officials of the three divisions, for their own personal desires, sell salt tea banknotes at low prices, damaging the interests of the imperial court, the evidence is conclusive, and the criminal department will investigate and deal with it, Qin this!" The official family has just gone to the palace. With a wave of his hand, he ordered Yan Wenying to take out the holy decree that had been prepared earlier, and read it aloud in front of the hundreds of officials of the imperial court.

Above the main hall, the will of the official family was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shaking the entire hall and hundreds of officials like a chicken. Many of the officials who opposed the tea and salt reform collapsed to the ground.

"If you know today, why bother in the beginning!" Ouyang Xiu looked at the officials who had collapsed to the ground and sighed.

"Luck, they have been doing this since the time of the first emperor, the first emperor didn't care about them, which caused them to be fearless in accepting bribes now, thinking that the officials would not care about them! Now it's unlucky, you deserve it! Zhao Lei looked at them and said disdainfully.

"No way! Trilateral mutiny. For such a big matter, someone must come out to carry the black pot, and the reason for the trilateral mutiny is because of the lack of silver in the household department. Because the imperial court profligate excessively, the household department lacks silver, is there a trilateral mutiny! These guys are also unlucky, they can't see the form clearly, they have to work against the officials, they don't carry the black pot for the court, who else will carry it! Wang Su looked at the ministers with pity. whispered to Zhao Lei and Ouyang Xiu.

"Retreat!" The official Zhao Zhen sneered when he saw that no one in the court refuted his will. Shake off your hands and leave.

When Zhao Zhen left the official house, Zhao Lei followed Wang Su and others out of the palace, and Zhao Lei just walked out of the Huangyi Palace, and was chased by Gan Ling.

"Lord Zhao! Congratulations, the official family has a will, and ordered you to be the Xuanfu envoy and lead the officials of the Criminal Department to raid the mansions of those corrupt officials. Gan Ling caught up, handed a holy decree to Zhao Lei, and said like a fox with a smile.

Raid the house! It's a great event. Zhao Lei yesterday and Wang Su and others talked about those who opposed the salt tea cash officials when they talked about the end of the officials, once talked about the matter of copying the house, although the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty were clear, but the matter of copying the house, every time there will be a lot of private pockets, this is also a disguised gift from the official family to the favored ministers, as long as it is not too much, the official family will open one eye and close one eye, this is a great opportunity for wealth.

"This is really good news, congratulations to Sanshi, don't forget to invite us to Panlou for a delicious meal!" When Ouyang Xiu heard the news, he said to Zhao Lei with some jealousy.

Zhao Lei, who was happy, immediately touched his body, but he was wearing a court robe and did not bring any silver, so he could only turn his head and say to Gan Ling: "Thank you Lord Gan for the news, tonight this official will hold a banquet in Pan Lou, Lord Gan must arrive!" ”

Gan Ling saw Zhao Lei's hand touching his arms, and he didn't understand what was going on, so he agreed with a smile and left.

After Zhao Lei said goodbye to Wang Su and others, he went to the Imperial City Criminal Department, preparing to start raiding his house according to the roster.

……

Raiding the house is really a very laborious job, the official residence of thirty-seven officials, when is it a head! Zhao Lei, who had already copied the fifth place, thought depressedly in his heart.

Zhao Lei didn't think that copying the house was still a technical job, watching a large amount of gold, silver and copper coins being sealed in a box, no one could not be tempted, just restraining the greedy **, it is not an easy thing, and it is not easy to select valuable and suitable treasures from the other sealed antique paintings, paintings, and jewelry.

"Lord Zhao! Please! A chubby middle-aged official in his forties, with a smile in his hand, handed a roster to Zhao Lei and said, he is the criminal department sent to assist Zhao Lei to copy the house of the staff of the foreign lang, surnamed Chen Mingzhizhong, the word Zhaoyu, both civil and military, successively served as Wei Sicheng, Wuzhou Thorn History, Jiangning Prefecture Governor, Yangzhou Governor, Yongxing Army Commander, is also against the Empress Dowager Liu royalist officials, Empress Dowager Liu returned to Bianjing after her death, belongs to the official Zhao Zhen is a very trusted official, otherwise he would not have taken over the task of raiding the house.

Zhao Lei and Chen Zhizhong have already cooperated to copy the four, of course they understand what he means, but they can also be polite, pick up the roster, and look at it carefully.

Four feet of blood coral, good stuff! Zhao Lei praised him in his heart and gently crossed him off with a brush.

White jade unicorn, blood Linglong, Buddha Ruyi, and selected several kinds of ornaments for Bai Xinlan and Tian Lan who was far away in Meishan and other women in the family, and a total of ten kinds of jewelry were crossed, and Zhao Lei was satisfied with the list and handed over the list to Chen Zhizhong beside him.

Chen Zhizhong was not polite, the small eyes on his round face swept over the roster, and with a stroke of the pen, he also crossed out ten kinds of things, and finally sealed the roster of crossed out things and those copied things.

"Gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, field contracts, all kinds of things are equivalent to eight million copper coins!" A landlord in charge of registering materials in the Criminal Department. also took a roster and handed it to Zhao Lei and said.

Zhao Lei carefully flipped through the roster, and after there was no problem, he handed it to Chen Zhizhong beside him, asked him to put it away, and prepared to hand it over to the official Zhao Zhen together.

After copying the family, Zhao Lei took the 600 forbidden troops and 300 officials of the Criminal Department around him. Walk towards the next prisoner's mansion.

In this raiding operation, Zhao Lei copied a total of 90 million yuan of official wealth, which is equivalent to seven months of tax revenue from the imperial court, and he took the opportunity to fill his own pockets with various jewelry, which is also worth about 900,000 yuan, and a commission of one percent.

……

In the Zichen Palace, Zhao Lei and Chen Zhizhong were holding a thick roster. came to hand over the task to the official Zhao Zhen.

"Not bad! The 90 million yuan of family wealth was only cash, which was enough to subsidize the losses owed to the military in March, and those businessmen were also very cooperative, handing over about 200 million yuan of gold, silver, jewelry, and various materials, as well as the dirty money spit out by other prisoners, adding up, there were also 350 million yuan, which was the tax revenue of the imperial court for more than two years, and it seems that the life of the imperial court has been better these days. "The official Zhao Zhen is in a good mood now. The problem of the trilateral mutiny was solved, and the problem of lack of silver land in the household department was also solved, and those stubborn officials who took bribes. was also caught by him, and all he heard these days was good news, which made the official Zhao Zhen extremely happy.

Zhao Lei and Chen Zhizhong heard the news, and they were also happy that the official family arrived, both of them belong to the officials who are particularly trusted by the official family, plus they have been corrupt together in the past few days, and their feelings are much deeper, and the two have now reached a certain tacit understanding, and they are happy to see the official family. The two glanced at each other, and patted the official Zhao Zhen's ass a few times without showing a trace.

"That's right, Zhao Aiqing! I discussed with King Meng and several ministers of the imperial court, and the reforms you mentioned can be tested in all irrelevant yamen, and if they are feasible, they will be popularized in all yamen, and if they are not feasible, I will not be able to convince all the ministers of the imperial court to support your reforms. Zhao Zhen, who was in a good mood, said to Zhao Lei with a smile.

For Zhao Lei, this news is the most eager to hear, and under the surprise, Zhao Lei, who said that he was finally able to show his ambitions, asked the official Zhao Zhen: "Official!" Can you test in those two yamen? ”

"Taiyi Bureau, you are most familiar with it, and the other is the Imperial City, didn't you say that there are too many palace maids in the Imperial City, and it is a waste of time! I'll leave this to you, and you'll go back today and get a charter for me to discuss with the ministers, and if it's feasible, it can be implemented. Zhao Zhen said.

Zhao Lei actually didn't have much interest in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but he attached great importance to the reform of the imperial city, after all, the Northern Song Dynasty court spent about 20 million yuan in the imperial city, and reforming the disadvantages of the imperial city was a big challenge, and Zhao Lei was already eager to try.

"Rite member Wailang Zeng Gongliang came to see you!" Outside the door, the waiter's elongated voice rang out.

"Accurate!" Zhao Zhen knew that those courtiers would not bother at all if there was nothing to do, could it be that something was going on, and when he thought of this, he immediately replied.

A thirty-five or sixteen, square-faced and strong minister, walked into the Zichen Palace, came to the side of the official Zhao Zhen, didn't look at Zhao Lei and Chen Zhizhong, and said respectfully to Zhao Zhen: "Qi Qi official family!" The envoy was arranged by the minister in the embassy of the Ministry of Rites, how to deal with the official family? ”

Hello messenger! What are they here for? You can't be here to ask for help, right? However, Western Xia Yuanhao only sent 25,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Guyoro, and the Guya had no less than 200,000 troops, so it was impossible to be defeated and ask for help! If it is really defeated, the reinforcements are really going to be sent, and it was only last year that the canonization of the leader of the Gang Gang bullied Nan Lingwen as the general of Ningyuan, the training envoy of the Aizhou regiment, and the leader of Miaochuan, he is the same as the three sides, and now he is also the direct vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, if you don't send troops, what will the three sides think! But sending troops will inevitably provoke a serious conflict with Western Xia, what should be done! I hope it's not a messenger who came to ask for help! When the official Zhao Zhen heard Zeng Gongliang's words, he immediately hesitated.
