Zhao Hong seemed to have made up his mind, and Xu Liang couldn't help but persuade again.

"Hu Yu's case, Your Majesty thinks twice. His Majesty wants to use troops in the northwest, and this matter is already an undercurrent surging from the government and the opposition. At this time, if Hu Yu is severely punished again, I am afraid that it will arouse the opposition of scholars and students, and it will not be beneficial to His Majesty's northwest affairs. ”

Xu Liang's words shocked Zhao Hong's heart.

The same words were also said by Zhou Ping in the Jinling Lecture Hall. It seems that there are many people who oppose the use of troops in the northwest.

The four ruling ministers, with the exception of Hu Yu, who had already been imprisoned, were opposed to him sending troops to reinforce Western Xia. And some ministers in the DPRK and China also wrote letters one after another, asking him to retract his fate and think twice.

It seems that bringing this Western Xia princess Li Weiming back to Lin'an City seems to be a mistake.

Thinking of the Dinghai Revolution in history, more than 100,000 Song soldiers and civilians were slaughtered by the Mongolian army, Zhao Hong's heart immediately hardened.

"Xu Liang, you pass on my will, the case of Hu Yu's father and son, let the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai be tried, and Jiangxi will mention the jury of the Criminal Prison Division. Severely punish according to law, give an explanation to the wronged, an explanation to the court, and an explanation to the people of the world! ”

Now that the anti-corruption campaign has achieved results, we should strike while the iron is hot and persevere. In any case, we must not fall short because of the strong obstruction of officials.

These people are all moths of the country and the culprits of the collapse of the Great Song Dynasty, not only can they not compromise with them, but they must be suppressed and punished.

"Xu Liang, you and Xu Xuan, the secretary of the Dali Temple, and the officials of the Propaganda Department will meet and discuss it well, and let the Propaganda Department publicize these cases in the newspaper, and the newspaper will be serialized on the original version, and it will be spread all over the world of the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible!"

Zhao Hong said slowly, Xu Liang had to receive the order, and while he was stunned, he secretly admired it in his heart.

Zhao Hong knows how to coerce the public opinion of the world, and it may not be easy for the imperial historians to suppress public opinion in the court and resist the new policy of the imperial court.

"For the sake of selfish interests, if you want to sway the court, let's see who is better."

Zhao Hong said coldly, and Dong Songchen at the royal table was sweating and secretly frightened.

The emperor's ruthless and iron-blooded and bold moves, and the officials who obstructed the new policy are afraid that they will mourn all over the country.

Hu Yu, the dignified governor of the Song Dynasty and an important minister of the imperial court, under the storm and waves of the emperor's implementation of the new policy, it was difficult to escape after all.

"Your Majesty, in this way, Hu Yu is very greedy for ink, and the death penalty is inevitable, and the officials below will inevitably collapse. This is the case in the DPRK and China, and I am afraid that the same is true for Jiangnan West Road. ”

Xu Liang secretly reminded Zhao Hong.

Coupled with the cases of Jiangnan East Road and Sichuan Road, Zhao Hong took pictures of four big tigers, several small tigers, and brought out a group of wild dogs and small flies.

Up and down the government and the opposition, once again want people to roll over!

"Afraid of what? Doesn't the Great Song Dynasty have the disadvantages of "redundant officials", then kill a group of people, exile a group, and cut down a group of people. Since you are not a good official, let's go home and sell sweet potatoes. ”

If the anti-corruption department is not enough, then get an inspection team to go down and investigate, and form a system to see how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials there are.

"Your Majesty, in this way, Your Majesty has to lay out in the northwest, but there will be many obstacles."

Xu Liang said with emotion.

"I still say the same thing, no matter how many corrupt officials, no matter how many people with ill intentions obstruct the new policy, I will get rid of them and show no mercy!"

Zhao Hong chuckled, his face as cold as ice.

"It seems that the implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan East Road has not yet attracted the attention of the elites. They thought that the officials were guarding each other, and that the court was still the world of their scholars, and they still had a fluke mentality. I use troops in the northwest to take precautions, and whoever wants to obstruct them is my enemy! ”

Although he has transferred Gao Dingzi from Sichuan to serve as the pacification envoy of Zhejiang West Road, implement the new policy, investigate the corruption of ink, and relieve the pressure on Xu Liang, it seems that the strength is not enough, and it is necessary to sound the alarm for these self-righteous scholars who are greedy for ink.

The Pu Hong case, An Gongxing's case, and the current Hu Yu case are just a good opportunity to continue to clarify the rule of officials.

Enemy!

Xu Liang and Dong Songchen were both shocked. It seems that the emperor has worked hard and his determination has never changed.

"Xu Liang, don't just stare at these big tigers like Hu Yu, but also pay attention to those little flies. Sometimes, small flies can lead to big tigers, and small flies are more destructive! ”

Zhao Hong told Xu Liang seriously.

In later generations, the deeds of those little flies and big greed emerged one after another, and that was still the later generation with a highly sound social mechanism. In this day and age, decisions are not unique.

"Your Majesty, I want to too, but how big is Liangzhejiang Road, how many court officials, I have too few people!"

Xu Liang smiled bitterly and complained.

"I'm afraid you don't mention the conditions. From this year's graduates of Jinling Lecture Wutang, I will draw some of them for you. When the time comes, you will personally select and assess by yourself. You should not be in a hurry, because the fight against corruption will take many years and will not happen overnight. ”

Zhao Hong laughed, serious.

"Jinling Lecture Martial Arts? Your Majesty, why don't you choose someone from Jinling University Hall? ”

Xu Liang was ignorant and asked.

"Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall is all elite soldiers and strong generals trained by militarization, don't you still look down on it?"

Zhao Hong shook his head helplessly and pointed at Xu Liang.

"The first batch of graduates of Jinling Academy are all the children of powerful people in Lin'an Mansion, and they can do other things, but if they want to fight corruption, I am afraid that the quality is worrying, can you rest assured? Three years later, when the Jinling Academy changes blood, you will choose again. ”

Xu Liang suddenly realized and nodded again and again.

Let the second generation of officials go to fight corruption and investigate and punish their father's family, he is really not at ease.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing that can be big or small, and the minister doesn't know whether to talk about it or not."

Xu Liang hesitated for a moment and said softly.

"It's all said, and there's nothing else to say. To put it bluntly! ”

Zhao Hong's heart was slightly shocked. It must not be a trivial matter that can make Xu Liang, a straight man, hesitate.

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty implemented the new policy, the matter of fighting crickets in the government and the opposition has almost disappeared, and the folk customs have become more and more simple. But Uncle Zhou An knew that he had broken the law, in addition to going out every once in a while to gamble, fight cocks and crickets, he also said when he met people......"

Xu Liang stopped talking and hesitated again.

"Xu Liang, if you have something to say, don't swallow and spit out!"

Zhao Hong's face turned pale, and his brows furrowed.

This brother-in-law Zhou An is idle, compared with his quiet and cautious brother Zhou Ping, it is really disappointing to him.

"Your Majesty, according to the ministers and other secret visits, Zhou Anfeng said that Your Majesty can become the son of the Great Song Dynasty and sit on this dragon chair, which is all the credit of their Zhou family......"

Xu Liang was bold and whispered.

Speaking of which, Zhou An is a relative of the emperor, and Zhao Hong is a family. And although he is Zhao Hong's friend, he is just an outsider.

But Zhao Hong has the grace of knowing him, as a courtier and friend, he can't hide his true feelings from Zhao Hong.

"Xu Liang, is there anything else?"

Zhao Hong's face remained unchanged and continued to ask.

To be honest, he didn't take these bastard things that Zhou An did. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy is just ignorant and ignorant, and he doesn't have to do anything.

"Your Majesty, the former division of the palace commanded Feng Shu, who was addicted to gambling, and also extorted and extorted merchants in Lin'an City, committing many crimes. There are also Yin Wujing of Lin'an Mansion, and Chen Duanchang in the Imperial History, both of whom are traitors and criminals......"

Xu Liang no longer concealed it, and simply told it all.

Feng Shu made great contributions to Zhao Hong's "palace change", but he was too greedy, and he ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and violated the law. Wu Jing and Chen Duanchang are old ministers that Zhao Hong relies on, but they have a loss of virtue.

Now it's up to Zhao Hong to choose.

"Did Feng Shu hurt people, even hurt people, or other crimes?"

After a long time, Zhao Hong raised his head and stared directly at Xu Liang.

"Wu Jing and Chen Duanchang, is it a big deal?"

At this moment, he inexplicably remembered the words of the later generations.

There are no good people in Hongdong County!

The court officials who obstructed the new policy, these two people may not be able to get rid of each other.

"Back to Your Majesty, Feng Shu is just greedy for money and gambling, and there is no major crime. As for Wu Jing and Chen Duanchang, they are still investigating, although they are not heinous, but their crimes are not light, and they have even obstructed the new policy. ”

Xu Liang made no secret of it and reported it truthfully.

"Xu Liang, you go to the palace to get some gold and silver, take it, and the evidence of the crime to find Feng Shu, let him tell the old man and return to his hometown. As for the losses of the merchants, after verification, the household department will bear the cost and return it to the merchants. As for Wu Jing and Chen Duanchang, they should be careful to investigate, and what I want is conclusive evidence. ”

After all, Feng Shu has meritorious support, if he is too strict, it will make the government and the opposition think that he is ruthless.

Anyway, Feng Shu's sin is not too big, so let him retire with dignity.

As for Wu Jing, there are a lot of rumors in the market, which is why he raised his stator and returned to Zhejiang to preside over the implementation of the new policy, instead of Wu Jing.

"Your Majesty. The next official will go back to handle the matter. ”

Xu Liang sighed. The emperor did not mention Wu Jing and Chen Duanchang, he would definitely have his own solution, so he didn't have to worry about it.

"Xu Liang, political affairs are important, but family affairs are equally important. Let's go back and have a look, and don't let the family worry about it. When the time comes, select the officials of the Anti-Corruption Division, and you and I will go to Jinling together. ”

Zhao Hong stood up and stretched.

"I'm going back too, to see my precious son and daughter!"

has been running around all year round, spending too little time with his wife and children, his face is silent, and he always feels a little guilty in his heart.
