The reactions of several ruling ministers were seen in his eyes, and Zhao Hong knew it.

It is not so much that a few ministers are protecting Song and Hu Yuanfeng, it is better to say that they are protecting themselves and the interests of the entire scholar class.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the law of the country is strict, the law is ruthless, and no one can trespass."

Zhao Hong looked at the ministers, his face was calm, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Jiangnan East Road implements the new policy, if the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, it is difficult to implement the meridian law, and the new policy is impossible to talk about. Since the implementation of the Economic Boundary Law, all the attempts of our dynasty have come to naught, and the root cause of this is that the powerful officials have colluded with each other and colluded with each other. No matter what history says, what I want is for the people to stop suffering, what I want is the hearts of the people, and what I want is an iron-clad Song Dynasty! ”

Zhao Hong's words were loud, which made the officials in the room solemn and shocked.

Hearing this, the emperor is going to thunder and kill the killer.

"Your Majesty, after all, there are many court officials. Once the investigation is deep, the officialdom of Jiangnan East Road is turbulent and people are panicked. Your Majesty think twice! ”

Jin Deok-so plucked up the courage and wanted to make a final effort.

If the scholars are really punished, once the beginning is started, the hearts of the Manchu officials will fluctuate, who will have the heart to do things?

"I still say the same thing, Erfeng Erlu, the people's fat and the people's anointing. The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. Scholars cultivate themselves and rule the country and the world, how can there be so many incorruptible and shameless scum? As an official of the imperial court, they do not share worries for the court, do not benefit the people, they are officials, only for the sake of lust, only for glory and wealth, they can only bring disaster to the country and the people, do they still have the face to continue? Do you dare to let them continue? ”

Zhao Hong reprimanded, Zhen Dexiu and the others all had solemn faces, and everyone hung their heads and said nothing.

They didn't think that Zhao Hong was so clever that Zhao Hong was so clever, but Zhao Hong's righteousness was awe-inspiring, making it difficult for them to say many thoughtful words for a while.

"Your Majesty, can the death penalty be changed to exile, to show Your Majesty's benevolence, but also to reflect the virtue of God's good life."

Prime Minister Xue Ji still wants to do his duty.

"Xue Qing, the law is ruthless, don't be embarrassed. Otherwise, how will the New Deal be implemented? How else can I enrich the country and strengthen the army? ”

The goal has been achieved, and Zhao Hong's tone has become gentle.

He didn't want to be at odds with the ruling ministers, and in any case, he needed them to help him with his political affairs, so that he could carry out the new policy without distraction.

"Song Ci, you should boldly try the case and pursue it according to law."

For this fair and honest "cool official", Zhao Hong is really satisfied.

Under the buttocks of the ministers, they are not very clean. This also allowed him to handle Gu Song's case with confidence. If there were really thousands of students kneeling outside to plead with Gu Song, it was estimated that he would have to be careful.

After all, Liu Xiu's soldiers are strong and strong, and there is not much pressure from external troubles. But he doesn't have this confidence.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the minister will encounter all kinds of resistance when handling this case, intercession, deliberate obstruction, and various reasons. The minister was worried that this would make the case time-consuming. ”

Song Ci was in a good mood, and the sadness on his black face was swept away.

Sure enough, as soon as the emperor made a move, the demons and monsters became invisible.

"Song Ci, you hold my royal sword, no matter who it is, whether it is a prince or nobleman, or a feudal official, whoever dares to move his mind will not be forgiven! I also want to try it, is this Wang Sword sharp enough? ”

Zhao Hong took off the "Song Wang Sword" on his waist, Dong Songchen quickly took it, and handed it to Song Ci.

"Thanksgiving! The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust! ”

Song Ci knelt down to receive the order, took the sword, and his heart was settled.

With the Emperor's Shang Fang Sword, the case was much easier to handle.

"Live up to my trust, but also live up to the trust of the people of the world!"

Zhao Hong looked at the ministers who were pale and sad for the dead fox, and sighed faintly.

There are people who continue to defy the law, and resistance and pressure coexist, and this is probably the inevitable stage that innovation and change will go through.

But no matter who he is, he can't stop his determination to get rid of the evils.

"Your Majesty, according to my Great Song Dynasty punishment system, you can use the spine of the cane, the piercing face, the flow of the match, and hard labor instead of the death penalty. The remaining minor offenders were sentenced to imprisonment of less than three years. Whether the death penalty can be replaced by exile is for His Majesty's discretion. ”

Once the "Anti-Corruption Law" is really punished, I am afraid that the head will be rolling. Song Ci also proposed the punishment of assassination.

"Xue Qing, you told the truth. What a shame to kill them! Even a piece of toilet paper should have its value! ”

Zhao Hong's face turned pale, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"The culprit, those who have a bad influence such as Gu Song, Huang Rucheng, and Hu Yuanfeng, after raiding the house, Ming Zheng is typical, kill him! The rest of the death sentences were changed to life sentences, and the homes were raided and served for life. All prisoners, abolish the spine and the thorn face, and let them use their industrious hands to atone for their sins! ”

Just because of the implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan East Road, there are so many prisoners. The entire Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many more?

Heaven has the virtue of a good life. If they are all killed, it will really be a tyrannical thing, so it is better to use it to benefit the country and the people.

"Your Majesty, Shengming!"

Several ruling ministers bowed and saluted together.

Gu Song and Huang Rucheng are not just corrupt. So far, this is the best ending.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a word first, if you are short of money to spend, tell me that you must not be corrupt, let alone be like Gu Song and Huang Rucheng, who are corrupt and bend the law and disregard people's lives. If that were the case, I would not spare it. ”

The abolition of the spine and the thorn face is because criminals also have their dignity. Now that they have served their sentences and have chosen to accept the suffering, there is no need for these unnecessary tortures.

A dynasty should have its own self-confidence.

Zhao Hong looked at the ministers who were submissive, and suddenly said:

"Xue Qing, a few Qing families, you go down and think about it, send officials, open a government and build a mansion in Liuqiu, send these prisoners to Liuqiu, and reclaim the border, which can be regarded as waste utilization!"

Liuqiu, Taiwan in later generations, first relocate some prisoners to gain a firm foothold in the past, and then follow up and open up later.

The ministers had no choice but to accept the order, and everyone was frightened.

In this way, it is difficult to continue the custom of "the law does not hold the people accountable".

The Jiangnan East Road Criminal Division tried the case and finally convicted more than 100 people to death and sentenced to prison for more than 10 years and more than five years for causing death or injury to officials of the Jingjie Institute, and 1,000 people for less than five years and more than three years.

Thousands of prisoners were exiled to exile and garrisoned.

Under the secret visit of the Anti-Corruption Department, dozens of hundreds of officials of the Adultery and Criminals Section were sentenced to death and were waiting to be beheaded after the autumn, including senior officials such as Gu Song, Huang Rucheng, the governor of Xuanzhou, and Huang Ren, the commander of the Zhenjiang Water Division. The rest were exiled and deposed according to the law, and each had his destiny.

More than 1,000 people were sentenced to death and exiled and served hard labor for life.

The government thundered and thundered, and the law of the meridian boundary was orderly, and no one dared to hinder it. The public trial of the Jiangnan East Road Criminal Division made the officials and soldiers of Jiangnan East Road realize that the law is strict, and they no longer dare to act recklessly and violate the law.

The anti-corruption campaign is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the atmosphere of officialdom on Jiangnan East Road has taken on a new look. Under the storm of clarifying the rule of officials, anti-corruption and punishment of gangsters have become the talk of the people after dinner.
