"Dongchang pretended to pass on His Majesty's will, causing chaos to the dynasty, please Your Majesty immediately hand over Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang, to the Criminal Department to deal with it, and ask for beheading at a later date. ”

"Your Majesty, the calamity of eunuchs is fiercer than that of tigers! Since ancient times, eunuchs have interfered in politics, and the country will perish!"

"Your Majesty, please be aware of it!"

“......”

Suddenly, several civil and military officials jumped out, pointing directly at Cao Zhengchun.

Those eyes seemed to want to eat their flesh raw.

However, Cao Zhengchun stood calmly beside Zhao Lin, seemingly ignoring the gnashing gazes of many courtiers.

"What Dongchang has done recently, I am very clear. ”

At this time, Zhao Lin, who was on the throne of the dragon chair, spoke, causing all the courtiers to shrink their pupils slightly, and they all looked at Zhao Lin deadly, "I think there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Isn't there anything wrong with that?

The ministers were stunned for a moment.

This Cao Zhengchun's Dongchang has arrested two-thirds of the courtiers, and he has also raided his house and killed people at will, which has become a nightmare for hundreds of officials.

committed such a heinous crime, Zhao Lin actually said that there was nothing wrong with it?

Many officials have long been filled with righteous indignation.

Just as they were about to admonish, Zhao Lin raised his palm and stopped them.

"Dongchang's arrest of people has its own basis, and it is not a false decree. ”

When the ministers heard this, they were shocked.

This means that the arrest of so many courtiers is the meaning of the emperor himself?

"That's because, they deserve to die!"

Zhao Lin's voice became extremely cold.

Hundreds of officials are like falling into an ice cave.

Zhao Lin glanced at Cao Zhengchun, who clapped his hands, and dozens of eunuchs, all holding a stack of paper in their hands, handed it over to the civil and military officials for circulation.

"These are the crimes they deserve to die!"

Zhao Lin's voice was very cold, "After reading this, if you still think that they are wronged, just say anything!"

However, circulating the list in his hand, the faces of the ministers gradually became ugly.

On this, everyone's guilt is clearly written!

The evidence is ironclad!

Moreover, each of them is a capital offense!

collaborating with the enemy and treason, forming a party for personal gain, and enriching one's pockets...... All of them are mortal sins!

Went forward first, saying that he would abolish several imperial histories of the East Factory, and wiped the cold sweat on his head.

Are they justifying the perpetrators?

"Weichen deserves death!"

Several imperial historians knelt on the ground one after another, looking terrified.

"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, most of the officials were loyal and brave generals, loyal to the country, honest and honest, and it was precisely because of this that the Great Song Dynasty could move towards prosperity and create a prosperous world. ”

Zhao Lin got up, walked down the steps of the court, and stepped on the golden royal road.

And now, in just a hundred years, the Great Song Dynasty has been lost, stormy, and almost destroyed. ”

"Why? Why did the Great Song Dynasty flourish so short and fall so quickly?"

"It's because there are too many moths in the court!"

Zhao Lin's voice became deeper and deeper, like a volcano before an eruption, and a calm before a storm.

"These people never want to serve the country, but they specialize in fighting for power and profit, and accumulating private wealth!"

"When the country is in danger, they secretly communicate with the enemy country, and even do not hesitate to betray the national interests in order to protect themselves. ”

"Do you think I should spare these people?"

When the words fell, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one squeaked.

Even, there are quite a few people who feel ashamed.

Because, in their minds, they also had similar ideas, but they didn't put them into practice in the end.

What Zhao Lin said is indeed a very common phenomenon.

The officials are endlessly engaged in party fighting, and there is no extravagance, but no one serves the country.

Even, in their minds, there is no longer the concept of the state.

The Great Song Dynasty has rotted from the inside.

No minor repairs or minor repairs can change this imperial court.

The only way to do it is to start over!

What Zhao Lin is doing today is to break this rotten court!

Otherwise, with such a group of people, the Great Song Dynasty would not be strong.

"From today onwards, I will add a national law!"

"Anyone who dares to be corrupt will be the three clans!"

"Those who are seriously corrupt will be punished by the Nine Clans!"

"Establish a reward and punishment system for whistleblowing, and reward for reporting corruption!"

"Once it is verified, the reward will be five hundred taels of silver! I want to see who will dare to be greedy in the future!"

Zhao Lin was furious!

On the Jinluan Palace, the legs of the civil and military officials were weakened by the fright.

The Three Clans?

Zhu Jiu Clan?

The whistleblower will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver?

In this way, there will inevitably be a cloud of whistleblowers, and who else dares to be corrupt?

Even Lao Shangshu, who has always been honest and honest, was a little restless at this time.

How difficult is it to be able to keep yourself clean in a dirty environment?

In the entire Great Song Dynasty, under this anti-corruption storm, I don't know how many officials will be dismissed!

The ministers all knew in their hearts that the era of being an official could be unscrupulous has passed.

Now is the time when we must be cautious and walk on thin ice.

The eyes of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officers looking at Zhao Lin were full of awe.

Although they trembled, there was also a hint of surprise in their hearts!

The Great Song Dynasty may really be able to move towards the road of prosperity in the hands of His Majesty the Young Emperor!

At this time, Shangshu of the Criminal Department walked out, "Your Majesty, now there are only thirty percent of the officials in the DPRK and China, and there are many vacancies in the six departments, and if this continues, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the ministries to operate normally......"

Hearing this, Zhao Lin nodded.

That's true.

It is true that in the current purge of the DPRK, two-thirds of the official posts in the DPRK and the Central Committee have become vacant, and they can be maintained in a short time, but in the long run, problems will definitely arise.

However, Zhao Lin had already thought of a countermeasure.

He inspected the ministers for a while, and then said solemnly: "Then tell the world that you can open a branch and take scholars." ”

The ministers all had their eyes lit up.

The imperial examination is indeed the best way to select talents.

In the case of internal and external troubles in the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial examination has been abolished for ten years.

It has been a long time since the imperial court has injected fresh blood.

Now that Zhao Lin has reopened the imperial examination, this is undoubtedly a major event.

For the Confucian scholars in the world, it is a great blessing.

"However, the imperial examination can no longer only test poetry and essays as before, and some practical things must be added. ”

Zhao Lin changed his words and said: "For example, the knowledge of law, military, craft, financial management, etc., these are the practical knowledge in the six parts, which can be added to the examination questions and become part of the imperial examination." ”

Add something practical?

Regarding this, the attitude of the officials of various ministries is very much agreed.

In many cases, after the Jinshi who took the imperial examination took office, they still need to go through a long period of adaptation before they can really get started with specific affairs.

If this knowledge is added to the imperial examination, it can reduce the time it takes them to get started.

Moreover, poetry and articles are still an important part of the imperial examination.

Zhao Lin did not abolish the poetry articles at one time, because in that case, I am afraid that he will become the target of scolding from students all over the world.

Even if the imperial examination is to be reformed, it must be done gradually, not in a hurry.
