The two great divisions no longer have a trace of fighting spirit.

Like two rabbits, they escaped from the Daqing Palace.

Don't dare to stay for the slightest, so he fled to the outside of the palace!

Cao Zhengchun chased out of the hall.

Just as he was about to continue chasing, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked into the Daqing Palace, and retreated back to the palace.

At this time, Zhao Lin walked out of the hall.

The movement of the three great grandmasters fighting each other was too great for him to be unaware of it.

"Old slave Cao Zhengchun, I have seen Your Majesty. ”

Seeing Zhao Lin appear, Cao Zhengchun hurriedly kowtowed.

"Ai Qing is flat. ”

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up, but he was thinking in his heart, Cao Zhengchun, you are finally here.

"Your Majesty, someone has just infiltrated the palace. ”

Cao Zhengchun bowed his head and said.

"Oh?" Zhao Lin was slightly stunned: "Who is it, have you found out?"

The palace is densely guarded and heavily guarded, and ordinary warriors simply do not have the strength to sneak in.

"Back to Your Majesty, they are two great grandmasters, but their identities have not yet been ascertained. ”

"Grand Master?"

Zhao Lin's face was groaning.

It should be the strong sent by the three powers.

The other party really took care of him, and even sent two great masters to assassinate him at one time.

"Where are they now?"

Zhao Lin looked down at Cao Zhengchun.

"The old slave was incompetent, and they escaped, but these two people were seriously injured, and they didn't have three or five years, so I'm afraid they couldn't recover from their injuries. ”

"Please forgive your majesty!"

Cao Zhengchun knelt on the ground, waiting for Zhao Lin's punishment.

In his opinion, if he didn't take those two people, he was not doing well and should be punished!

"Aiqing is too worried. ”

"You have a meritorious escort, how can I punish the meritorious man?"

Zhao Lin smiled slightly and helped Cao Zhengchun, who was kneeling, up.

Cao Zhengchun is ruthless to everyone in the world of "No. 1 in the World", but he is only loyal to the emperor.

Therefore, for this famous eunuch, Zhao Lin had a feeling of joy when he saw it.

After chatting with Cao Zhengchun for a few words, Zhao Lin suddenly looked serious, "Cao Zhengchun, I have a task for you now." ”

When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he was immediately extremely respectful, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

"I ordered you to immediately set up the East Factory, responsible for picketing hundreds of officials, and supervising the world. ”

"As the overseer of Dongchang, you only need to be responsible for me alone, I give you the power to punish traitorous ministers, punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, if the situation is urgent, you can cut it first and then play. ”

"Not only that, you are my eyes, I not only want to know every move in the court, but also know every move of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and even the whole world in the future, can you do it?"

"The minister will do his best to live up to the holy order!"

Cao Zhengchun said in a deep voice.

He stayed in this Yashan City for three days before he could meet Zhao Lin, just to secretly investigate the situation in the city and prepare for the establishment of the East Factory.

He just didn't expect that Zhao Lin would take the initiative to set up the East Factory, which coincided with his idea.

"Good!"

Zhao Lin nodded, and Long Yan was happy.

He gave Cao Zhengchun a royal gold medal, "I have the imperial gold medal in my hand, you just let it go, the sooner the better, go down." ”

Cao Zhengchun took the token and took the order.

Looking at the back of Cao Zhengchun leaving, Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp luster.

Cao Zhengchun's departure will definitely set off a monstrous wave within the Great Song Dynasty.

Even, it can cause turmoil.

But Zhao Lin knew that it was urgent to rectify the interior.

Now the external threat has been initially calmed down.

At present, the biggest threat to the Great Song Dynasty is not external troubles, but internal worries!

If you go outside, you must first settle inside!

Last time, he took advantage of Xue Mang's rebellion to confiscate the property of many officials, reaching 30 million taels.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Zhao Lin had high hopes for Cao Zhengchun, which was his first step to complete control of the court.

The next few days.

The external situation of the Great Song Dynasty was temporarily stabilized.

The Triple Alliance of the Fire Empire, the Xirong Kingdom, and the Annan Kingdom has now completely withdrawn their troops.

And Dian Wei also led three hundred tiger guards back.

Of course, Zhao Lin rewarded Dian Wei and his three hundred tiger guards.

Dian Wei was awarded the post of general, and all the three hundred tiger guards under his command were also rewarded.

The silver that was given alone amounted to ten million taels.

Zhao Lin fulfilled his pre-war promise and did not skimp at all.

Because only in this way can the enthusiasm of the army be stimulated.

Next, the Tiger Ben Guards need to expand the army, and the only 300 people are far from satisfying the needs.

Recruiting and training Tiger Guardians requires a lot of military spending.

Zhao Lin used the previous 30 million taels of silver as a reward, and the remaining part was used to expand the army.

But that's not enough.

However, for the problem of insufficient military spending, Zhao Lin has already thought of countermeasures.

The Imperial Study.

In front of Zhao Lin, the table was full of all kinds of correspondence materials.

These are all the crimes of the hundred officials handed over by Cao Zhengchun.

I have to say that Cao Zhengchun is really a genius who is engaged in investigation, and in less than three days, he initially established the East Factory, and almost all the civil and military officials in the court and the central government were checked.

Among them, there are letters from officials of the Great Song Dynasty who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.

There is a directory of officials who form parties for personal gain.

There is also evidence of the guilt of officials enriching their own pockets.

And on top of the table full of papers, there was a list of names written on them.

On this list, the names of all the officials who violated the ban are listed.

Each name is followed by the officer's corresponding charges.

And it's divided into three headings.

Forty-eight collaborators and traitors.

Seventy-four people formed a party for personal gain.

Serious corruption, 97 people.

There are also people who have all three.

It's a heinous crime.

When Zhao Lin saw the list, he was so angry that his hands trembled a little.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, and there were few good things for civil and military officials, he still didn't expect that so many problems would be found in this investigation.

How shocking.

With so many moths in place, how could the Great Song Dynasty not die?

"Your Majesty, what should I do with these people on the list?"

Behind Zhao Lin, Cao Zhengchun stood extremely respectfully and asked in a low voice.

"Kill!"

Zhao Lin responded almost without any hesitation.

"Don't let go of any of the people on the list. ”

"The old slave obeys!"

Cao Zhengchun grinned and exited the main hall.

In Zhao Lin's eyes, a cold light also emerged.

My Great Song doesn't need moths!

I'm afraid that tomorrow's court will be much empty.

......

Throne room.

Morning.

In just three days, the entire court seemed to have an earthquake.

More than 200 officials were dismissed.

All of them were secretly arrested by Dongchang, and their fate is uncertain.

Even the family property was confiscated, and the clansmen were affected.

As a result, two-thirds of the positions in the entire court hall were vacant, and the figures were sparse.

The rest of the officials were also silent.

"Your Majesty, the recent arrest of courtiers in Dongchang is a heinous crime, please dissolve Dongchang and severely punish the culprits. ”

As soon as the dynasty opened, in the main hall, a royal historian stood up and criticized Dongchang.
