Chapter 6: Selfishness

Before the Song Dynasty, the system of grace and shade had already existed. But there are few people who are so mad as the Song Dynasty.

There is only one object of the Han Dynasty's favor, and it has to be a biological brother or son of the same mother. During the Tang Dynasty, there were at most two people, and the object of favor was the grandson or great-grandson of the official.

In the Song Dynasty, one person could push one or twenty people. The higher the official position, the more relatives and friends Eun Meng will have. Relatives and friends are officials together, the second and third generations of officials emerge in endlessly, the children of the gentlemen are full of officialdom, relatives and friends are happy, and it is difficult for officials to govern without corruption.

Now that I think about it, those who can go to Jinling University Hall to study are all unable to sprout into the office. It was really in vain that he wanted to abolish the grace of the shadow.

No wonder there are not many unsatisfactory things in Jinling University Hall, and the worse ones are all on this list.

"Among the relatives of Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, are there no ones who want to enter the office?"

didn't find anything related to Zhende Xiu Wei Weng, Zhao Hong subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhen Dexiu is the ruler and can be pushed to six people. It seems that Zhen Dexiu is also self-aware.

"Your Majesty, Zhen Deok-so's family is on this page. His original surname was Shen, but he changed his surname to Zhen because he avoided filial piety. So on this, the six people surnamed Shen are all. As for Wei Shilang, because most of the Wei Gao clan in Pujiang worked in Sichuan, and Wei Shilang's eldest son hated officialdom, so there were no other recruits. ”

Song Xiaozong Zhao Yan, "昚" and "Shen" have the same sound. Zhen Dexiu was born during the reign of Song Xiaozong, so he avoided changing his surname.

"Officials and lords, it is really difficult for everyone to avoid vulgarity!"

Zhao Hong sighed, his heart full of disappointment.

Clear and turbid, in the face of interests, selfishness, are all cowardice.

"Your Majesty, if you abolish Enmeng's entry into the office, you will be an enemy of the Manchu Dynasty officials and nobles!"

Xu Liang looked at Zhao Hong and said worriedly.

The method of Enmeng's ancestors is an old system that has been around for a long time. Zhao Hong seems to want to abolish the favor and subsidy, and not let the children of the powerful and officials become officials, that is, to oppose the Manchu officials, and the consequences are unpredictable.

"I'm the king of a country, and I'm still afraid of them? However, I won't be so stupid and carry them in a grand way! One word "drag", they have no temper to drag, and they don't mention it. ”

Zhao Hong said with a dark face, and there was emotion in his words.

"The mediocre must not be able to make up for the officials, otherwise the people will scold the mother. I can't make up for what I crossed, and those who don't have bad deeds are circled, so I go to Jinling University Hall to experience first, and then distribute them. ”

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Although the old system attached great importance to the family, it was necessary to examine the officials. And this dynasty only cares about Tui'en, regardless of the advantages and disadvantages, thinking that by encircling the elite class, they can sit back and relax, but they don't know that water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat.

With such a loss of popular hearts and putting the cart before the horse, how can the Great Song Dynasty not die or die?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will go down and rearrange it, make annotations, copy a few copies, and then give it to Your Majesty."

It seems that the emperor is going to deal with these powerful children in a tricky way. In this way, I am afraid that there are less than 100 people left in the list of 976 people.

"Xu Liang, I regard you as a confidant, a minister, and a brother, you have to have your own opinions, and all malpractices must be raised, don't wait for me to ask. I don't let you be an official, I let you pick thorns, I let you do things! ”

Zhao Hong put his heart in his heart, Xu Liang sweated profusely, solemnly took the matter, and bowed.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows!"

rashly ascended the throne, he had just learned to be an official, and was woken up by Zhao Hong's blow.

"It's good to get it!"

Zhao Hong's tone was a little softer, and he continued:

"The anti-corruption and anti-corruption of Liangzhejiang Road, especially the Beijing officials in Lin'an Mansion, you have to be bold, fast, accurate and ruthless, and don't give them a chance to move around. The more corrupt officials are investigated, the more difficult it will be for the children of the powerful to make up for the merit, and I will push the boat to abolish the Enmeng entry, and the easier it will be to solve the problem of redundant officials. Do you understand what I mean? ”

The redundant officials have been solved, and the redundant army is also being implemented on Jiangnan East Road, and when the maladministration of the redundant army is solved, the life of the Great Song Dynasty will be much better.

"Your Majesty is painstaking and lonely, and the ministers will live up to Your Majesty's trust, and the two Zhejiang roads will be clear!"

Xu Liang was in awe and bowed.

In order to solve the stubborn problem of the court situation, Zhao Hong can be said to rack his brains and do everything.

"Xu Liang, this is the way to be an official, to serve as an official, and to benefit one party. To be an official is not to be an official, let alone to be a high-ranking official! ”

Zhao Hong nodded and did not continue to ask.

It seems that Xu Liang has already gained something. Maybe it won't be long before there will be an unexpected gain.

"How's Zheng Loss? Has he returned to the court? ”

Thinking of the matter in Sichuan, Zhao Hong subconsciously asked.

Zheng Zhen, Shi Miyuan's cronie, should also be exposed.

"Back to Your Majesty, Zheng Zheng is still on his way back to the court. The Sichuan Anti-Corruption Division intercepted the money smuggled back by Zheng Zheng, including hundreds of thousands of yuan in gold and silver alone, plus other antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade, I am afraid that there are 780,000 yuan. Before leaving Sichuan, Cui handed over a large amount of money and materials to Zheng Zheng, but Zheng Zheng squandered them, and the rest were filled with private pockets, making Shukou's military supplies unsustainable. ”

Xu Liang no longer hesitated and said it directly.

According to Zheng Zheng's confession, the officials who bribed him included the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture in Sichuan Province and a large group of Chengdu government bureaucrats in Deyang prefect. In addition, Sichuan Zhizhi driver Yiwen An Huizhong was also involved. An Guizhong is the eldest son of An Bing, the former Sichuan envoy, and his younger brother An Gongxing is even more corrupt and notorious. An Gongxing is still the son-in-law of Wei Shilang, I am afraid that His Majesty will have to kill him. ”

"These dog thieves who have not achieved enough and have more than enough failures!"

Zhao Hong's face turned blue and scolded fiercely.

"You take my Wang Jian to go, investigate according to law, raid his home, and let Dali Temple Zheng Cheng Ming be a typical example. When the time comes, let all the Beijing officials go to watch the punishment, let them know the fate of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and set an example! Remember to inform me, and I will also go to cheer. ”

Thousands of dollars a year are enough for the people to work hard for decades. This is not satisfied, a greed is hundreds of thousands, madness, boldness, and state affairs are defeated in the hands of these rats.

"Chengdu government officials involved in the case, etc., handed over to Cui and Fan Zhong to deal with. Taking advantage of Zheng Zheng's accident, Zheng Zheng's own officials, all those who have grace and sprout into the office, will be demoted to civilians. And the Ahn Jang Chung brothers......"

"Yes, Lord's Order!"

Zhao Hong wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Liang immediately received the order, and secretly put his mind at ease.

As long as Zhao Hong is bent on eliminating the evils, he will follow the charge.

He originally wanted to report the bad deeds of high-ranking officials in the capital for their corruption and perversion of the law, but he still swallowed the words when they came to his mouth.

Since we want to clearly prove the punishment and get rid of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, we must find all the evidence and make it an ironclad case.

Since the emperor needs cool officials and doesn't need officials, he is naturally a good one.

"Xu Liang, how many people in the Great Song Dynasty did you say were studying?"

A matter flashed through his heart, and Zhao Hong couldn't help but ask.

It is not only necessary to sweep away this garbage, but also to open up the wisdom of the people, cultivate more talents, and promote the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty and the strengthening of the army.
