In an instant, the sound was like pouring cold water into a pot of boiling oil, and suddenly the crowd exploded with a bang, and roared: "Kill them!" Kill them! ”

The ancients valued the most land, whether it was some coolies in the city, or the runners in the restaurant, or the guys in any shop, they all had no land, no land, no food, they had to starve, they naturally knew that the homeless people would be punished with capital punishment for peeling and eating the bark of the landlord's house, perhaps some of them had experienced it personally, although they survived in the city, it did not mean that they no longer wanted the land! It doesn't mean that they no longer hold grudges against those landlords!

If they are exiles who have been stripped of some tree bark and are still to be punished with death, shouldn't these great officials be punished with capital punishment for embezzling thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of silver?

In the 21st century, Lin Tian always heard experts and professors in various literary and historical circles sing praises of the Song Dynasty, and they have a special affection for the Song Dynasty. But when he came to this world, he realized how sick a society it was.

There is a high level of officials in the Song Dynasty, which is the highest in all dynasties. Taking Kou Zhun with a positive image as an example, we only know that he is upright, a corporal of etiquette, does not tend to be inflammatory, and dares to speak out, so he has been repeatedly excluded and framed. But he didn't know that at the peak of his luxury, he had to eat "chicken tongue soup" every day, that is, using the tongues of countless chickens to make soup and eat it. Later, Kou Zhun's mother couldn't get used to her son's luxury of "forgetting his roots", and the lesson of "remembering the bittersweet and sweet" of Kou Zhun stopped Kou Zhun's "chicken tongue soup", but even if he didn't eat "chicken tongue soup", it didn't mean that Kou Zhun's family wealth would be reduced. If this is true of honest and honest officials, the lives of corrupt officials and corrupt officials can be imagined - oh no, the people below cannot imagine their lives at all, they live in the same world, but in two worlds that do not intersect with each other......

On the one hand, the bureaucrats live a life of drunkenness, and on the other hand, the wage laborers of ordinary handicrafts live a life without work for a day and without food for a day, and the rural people in the coastal areas have no choice but to risk killing their heads to sell 20 catties of illicit salt.

The prosperity of the Song Dynasty and the relaxation of the criminal law were for those scholars, and the people did not enjoy any benefits, on the contrary, the common people lived very poorly.

Of course, the Song Dynasty also had people with lofty ideals, and they directly exposed a cruel fact: "the enslavement of this dynasty is several times that of the ancients", "the two taxes of the current dynasty are seven times that of the Tang Dynasty", "the names of taxes in the past are not as many as they are today", "the ancient methods of carving and stripping, this dynasty is prepared"......

No wonder the crowd shouted angrily: "Kill them!" Kill them! ……”

In fact, the great injustice and resentment in society have already been accumulated, and they will explode when they only have an opportunity!

Killing a few corrupt officials, in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, or it is extremely common, this emperor from a poor background, who has begged for food, let go of sheep, and been a monk in the traveling party, has a deep understanding of the world's human affairs. In order to curb corruption, Zhu Yuanzhang simply took the punishment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials as a top priority, and opened a killing spree to set an example.

But the Song Dynasty is different, the punishment is not a scholar, even if there is a lot of corruption, at most it is a cane and exile, there is no fear of life, and the forgiveness of crimes is not only connivance with crimes, but also from this point can imagine the seriousness of bureaucratic corruption in the Song Dynasty, which must be appalling and unparalleled......

The crowd shouted this one, in this era, it was really a thunderbolt in a sunny day, and it shook the four fields.

Wang Anshi's face turned pale when he boarded, Su Shi and Shen Kuo's whole bodies trembled, and those corrupt officials who were tied up knelt down as soon as their legs were weak!

Lin Tian looked at the crowd and shouted in his heart: People's hearts are available! Immediately raised his right hand and pressed it, and the crowd gradually quieted down with his gestures, and listened to the Qincha master Wen Zou Zou said: "I heard that the way of heaven is to the public, the road is simple, when today, the law of punishment is really a big injustice, and it must be changed by revolution, otherwise it is against the sky, and if it is against the sky, it will be born, the wind and rain will be smooth, all things will be prosperous, and if it is against the sky, it will die, and the heaven and earth will be repeated, and all beings will be displaced!" ”

Lin Tian said what Zou Zou, but the people obviously understood, nodded silently, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, and Shen Kuo listened to each other's eyes, and Gu saw horror in each other's eyes.

They all knew that Lin Tian's implication was that these nearly 100 corrupt officials were afraid of ...... When Wang Anshi was the prime minister, he fought against many political enemies, but most of them were demoted and exiled, but he really never used a knife to kill people.

Su Shi or because of the traditional literati feelings, has a deep compassion and sympathy for the people, this kind of heart put in politics, it produced the people-oriented thinking, he values the people's livelihood, so when he saw some of Wang Anshi's policies in the law, such as the Qingmiao Law endangered the people, he resolutely opposed it, which is also the reason why he and Wang Anshi are gentlemen's friends, but in terms of political opinions, they will argue with a red face and a thick neck.

Lin Tianhu said categorically in a loud voice: "Today's nearly 100 corrupt officials are so corrupt and appalling, they are really angry and resentful!" I thought it was ...... It must be killed, in order to calm the heavenly heart! He asked the crowd, "What do you think?" ”

"Wow~~" The crowd was boiling, and they were greatly rejoicing, shouting loudly that it should be like this, killing the dog official, and not killing it is not enough for the people to be angry......

Among them, a few people were the most crazy and excited, their emotions infected the people around them, and the people around them infected others, and in an instant, the emotions of the crowd were even more agitated, like a fire of forged steel! Passionate and murderous!

Lin Tian looked at Wang Anshi, Su Shi, and Shen Kuo, and said with a light smile: "What do the three of you think?" ”

Shen Kuo shook his head, he had served as the supervisor of the Heavenly Prison and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. He was not very interested in these reforms and innovations, and he supported and participated in Wang Anshi's reforms, because of Wang Anshi's "Daxing Water Conservancy Project".

Su Shi opposed Wang Anshi's change of law, was sent to Hangzhou to serve as a general judge, Shen Kuo to Hangzhou to supervise the "farmland water conservancy construction", and he talked about poetry and words, he has always admired Su Shi's literary talent, his poems were not copied, and then somehow, these poems were used by people with intentions, and became evidence of slander against the court and satirizing the emperor, so the famous Wutai poetry case broke out.

Shen Kuo felt deeply remorseful for this, and knelt at the palace gate to beg the emperor for forgiveness, but after no result, he simply wrote to Wang Anshi for help, and Wang Anshi interceded with Zhao Ji, and Su Shi escaped. He was imprisoned for 130 days, and then demoted to Huanggang, Hubei Province, as the deputy envoy of the regiment. Therefore, the relationship between Wang Anshi, Shen Kuo, and Su Shi is extremely complicated.
