Zhao Guanjia did what he said, although it was said that the operation system of the Secret Pavilion was already very complete, but when it came to such a big matter, he had to be the supreme leader to make the decision. And his decision was that all those involved in the situation should be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the country, regardless of military force or meritorious service.

He said this in a dignified and righteous manner when the civil and military officials were in the Great Dynasty. Ma Shen, the criminal department who had not dared to provoke the Zhao Guan's family for four or five years, finally couldn't help it at this time, and came out and said: "The official family, the minister already knows that the punishment of the old Song Dynasty is too pedantic for the doctor. But after all, after a century-old tradition, the official family investigates and handles the case according to the law, and the minister has no objections, can these unconvicted people be given some dignity? ”

Zhao Jiu sneered, and was about to say something. Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaozhong stood up in the imperial history and said: "Ma Shangshu is also a person who went to the Yellow River to walk in person. What these greedy suspects lost was only dignity, but those hard-working people of the Great Song Dynasty lost their lives and rations. Can Shang Shu dare to say this to the sun and the moon, and to the soul? It can be seen that there is also a huge disagreement within the civilian government on this issue.

Sean, who was uncomfortable in his official uniform, also came out to help, "They killed so many people, and all they embezzled was money squeezed out of their teeth by the officials, what kind of decency do they want, they are all shameless." It's that the face of their ancestors for eighteen generations has been lost by these people. ”

A civil official said: "Xiao Yushi, I know that you pity the people's livelihood, but you are here in the main hall, please speak more gently." ”

Xiao En said hesitantly: "If I hadn't studied with Zhao Tong for all these years, I would have drowned these people in the water a long time ago, and let them know the taste of the Yellow River." ”

Seeing that Yue Fei continued to say this, Xiao En was sure to suffer, and was caught, and scolded: "Xiao Yushi." It is a great sin to lose your manners in front of the palace and say nothing, and you must know that it is in front of the officials. You have to trust the officials. ”

Xiao En naturally knew that Yue Fei would not harm him, so he shut up and stopped talking.

"Okay, this person has all the evidence. Xiao Yushi and Zhao Yushi (Zhao Shicheng) have made great contributions, but the credit will be counted later, today, what I want to say is that since the human and physical evidence has been completed, the relevant criminals have also been escorted. Dali Temple can have a conviction party. Zhao Jiu looked at it coldly for a while, and said.

Wang Yan had been waiting for the appearance for a long time, and immediately said, "Official." According to the "Song Criminal System", Pei Zude was the first offender of corruption, and he was guilty of pulling Fan Zongyin and Liu Bao into the water, and he should be beheaded according to the law, and his family was exiled. Liu Bao is second, beheading does not raid the house. Fan Zongyin's involvement in eucalyptus was relatively light, but he was inevitably deprived of his writings, demoted to commoners, and fined and confiscated stolen money. and not used. In addition, the opinions on the disposal of the persons involved in the eucalyptus have also been drawn up by the minister and requested by the criminal department for review. Only Liu Hongdao, although the official family does not count the merits, but after all, he is one of the thirty-six meritorious heroes of Jianyan, and the ministers dare not make a conclusion, and ask the officials and ministers to deal with it. ”

Ma Shen saw Zhao Guan's gesture, but when he saw it, his already dark face became even more ugly, "Wang Dali, according to your list." If you want to behead twenty-one people in public, they are all ministers from Jinshi. There is also Pei Zude, after all, he resists gold and observes festivals, even if he commits a crime, can't he use merit to atone for his crime? Worst. He should also be given the right to commit suicide in prison, not beheaded in the city. ”

"Ma Shangshu, just six years ago, it was also this hall, and in the face of the three major eucalyptus incidents, you didn't say that." Zhao Guanjia suddenly mentioned the old matter, "Yang Zheng killed his concubine and skinned his conscience, and the Pan family resold the treasury bonds and ruined my credit." Even Zhang Zongyan rashly crossed the river to attack and killed the soldiers. They can justify the punishment, these people who have filled their pockets and ruined my century-old plan. Thousands of people have been killed, why not? Because they're bigwigs? Because they are civil servants? ”

Zhao Jiu's prestige has grown over the years, and as soon as he spoke. The hall was silent, and no one dared to speak easily.

Junin was young and vigorous, and echoed: "The minister thinks so! The official family had already made it clear back then. Whether it is a handsome minister or an incumbent scholar. If you commit a crime that is intolerable to heaven, you must rule the crime according to the punishment, and you are a meritorious person who has made meritorious contributions to resist gold, and you should also reduce your sentence as appropriate after being convicted, rather than directly exonerating the crime. In the same way, the official family has already made it clear this time, why do you still hold on to the words? ”

He was also shocked by the tragic situation in the Yellow Flood.

However, Zhang Jiucheng saw that he was about to fall on one side, and came out and said: "Officials, colleagues, Ma Shangshu has never said that he wants to exonerate these people, but he just asks for mildness in his methods, if the official family does not allow it, the ministers will naturally do it according to the will of the official." ”

Zhao Jiu said: "It's not according to my will, it's according to the law." He took another sip of tea and said, "I was thirsty just now, but I remembered an allusion." Emperor Renzong Dynasty, there was a tea official forgot to prepare tea for him, he saw that people were young, could not bear to be punished, after returning to the harem, a certain lady's tea cup was drunk, and it was a beautiful talk for a while. Therefore, how many people want to learn from Emperor Renzong. ”

"But I am not afraid of historical records, and today I will say that Emperor Renzong is good to the ministers and the people around him, but has he gone out to see how the people are? Didn't the bad thing of Sanyi returning to the river happen in the Renzong Dynasty? Today, I have paid off the debt owed to my ancestors for hundreds of years, and some people still don't know it. I originally wanted to trick people into the harem and fill in the fish pond directly, but after thinking about it, I still eliminated this evil thought, and the Ming canonical punishment was corrected, so that everyone in the world knew that I was not joking. ”

Ma Shen closed his eyes in pain, he was not a person who did not know right from wrong. So many people have died because of these people's corruption and dereliction of duty, doesn't he understand that these people should be killed? But decades of morality have betrayed him, and how pleasant it feels. He could only say: "The person who is verified by the Criminal Department has a heavy responsibility, and the minister is too old to hold the position of the chief secretary. Please allow your Majesty to return to his hometown and choose another person to take over this position. ”

Zhao Jiu looked at this old minister who had also followed him for fourteen years. I was full of emotion for a while, but I also knew that this was the best result after all. "Yes, Wang Yan took over as the secretary of the Criminal Department, but the first trial was tried by him, in order to avoid suspicion, please ask the squire of the Criminal Department to approve it and then forward it to Yu Zhen."

The horse pulls out the stiff-winged head from his head. Bid farewell to Zhao Guan's family. is also full of emotion in my heart, but I have to do it.

After a lot of trouble for another ten days, the verdict was finally announced, Pei Zude beheaded and raided his home, recovered the stolen money and remembered that he had made meritorious contributions to resist gold, his wife and children were exempted from exile, and the national debt was returned. Fan Zongyin chased down the text, confiscated his family property, and exiled him to the southwest. Liu Bao also used his anti-gold merit to avoid death and exile.

But for Zhang Bofen, the controversy is still a bit big. Without him, this is already the last son of Uncle Zhang in the world.

Then there is Liu Hongdao, who pursued the title of the king of Heyin County, exempted him from all positions, and imprisoned his hometown for the rest of his life. As for his suicide after writing his memoirs, it is not something that the Zhao official family can control.

But the Zhao official family did not show mercy, "Zhang Zhongwen Gong already has grandchildren, so he will not delay the inheritance of the bloodline." ”

This really made many people frightened.

It was the first time that the people of Tokyo had seen such a scene after autumn, and for the first time in a century, a minister of the rank of envoy had been beheaded for public display.

Even ordinary people understand that this Great Song Dynasty is really different from before, instead of talking about it.

This group of heads fell to the ground, which made many people dare not speak out anymore. Finally someone remembered that this is a son of heaven right away, and his prestige is no less than that of the founding emperor, and Lao Tzu did it like this, what can you do?

Zhao Jiu didn't have time to care what they thought. With Wang Yan as the secretary of the Criminal Department, Hong Hao as the envoy of Hebei East Road, and Zhao Boyao as the envoy of Jingbei Road, the remaining positions are recommended by the Ministry of Rites and the Zaizhi.

The governor of the river will not be established for the time being, and the outstanding performance of Governor You, Zhao Tongju, and Xiao Yushi will be added to the grace. In particular, Zhao Tongju was sentenced to the position of supervisor of the Ministry of Water Affairs.

——Small Theater Extra-

The Zhao official family was in the world, and the law completely replaced the century-old rules of scholars. It made the town of Xianggong almost noisy.

Zong Ze and the others are naturally the officials who unconditionally support them. Although Wang Anshi felt some. I didn't adapt to it, but I still stabilized my position, believing that the implementation of river governance is the same as the new policy, that is, we can't give up halfway.

But when it was Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, and Han Qi, it felt like the Great Song Dynasty was about to die. Write articles and criticize all day long. Pray that the Zhao Guanjia will come again and tell him what he thinks.

When was the last time there was such a big controversy? Everyone felt that they had forgotten a little, but the ladies said that they were noisy, and they went to the river in a group to be quiet and quiet together.

There is also an unwritten rule in Xianggong Town. It is that the men quarrel and quarrel, and it does not affect the relationship between the wives. For example, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang almost got into a fight, and their wives still have a common language, making needlework and choosing a dish together, which are all common things.

The new Mrs. Li, Zhang, is still in the process of adapting. Mrs. Di, the daughter of a military general, has a bold personality and asked, "Sister, your father-in-law is already safe and sound, why are you still worried?" ”

"I feel sorry for me and show it. Although this child is not my own, he has been clever and filial since he was a child, and he has a great future, but he has to be at home because of my filial piety. If he hadn't been a hostage for his father this time, Xianggong would have really come to reunite with me. Zhang said.

The ladies expressed their understanding, except for Wang Anshihe, Sima Guang and other people. There are few people in this town who do not take concubines. Some eldest women are not used to seeing their concubines, and some are like mothers and sons, so what Zhang said is not difficult to understand.

It's just that Song said: "Today's official family is sensible, he sees everything your son and son do, such a young child, he is not afraid that he will have no future in the future, so you can relax." ”

Oh, I think about it, the last time it was so noisy, it was when Li Gang was martyred, and the people in Xianggong Town were collectively angry, and they couldn't wait to form a group to fight Xianggong Town, Liao, and everyone came to do it with real knives and guns.

I really don't know my strength, who can fight except Di Qing! People are a nation right away
