When the onlookers saw that the six thieves were taken down, they all shouted in unison.

Zhao Huan looked at the reaction of the people and nodded with satisfaction.

The dragon slowly returned to the palace hall, and the hundred officials also went back, the court meeting has not yet dispersed, and no one can leave.

"I didn't expect the six of them to do so many evil things over the years, no wonder there are countless rebels in the world!"

Zhao Huan looked at the Tai Student Recital in his hand and said with a regretful face, it seems that he only knew all this today.

"The decree is that from now on, no more flowers and stones will be levied from Jiangnan, the Xicheng will be dismissed, and the land will be returned to the farmers. Let the people recuperate! ”

Zhao Huan looked at the ministers and said.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers said in unison, no one asked Zhao Ji again this time, now Huashigang and Xicheng are now Zhao Ji's private pleasures, Zhao Huan stopped directly, this is to cut the past.

"Now that the money and grain taxes in various places can't come up, do you have a good plan?"

Zhao Huan looked at the ministers and asked, today's court meeting started with money and grain taxes.

"Your Majesty, now that the war is imminent, this money and food are indispensable!"

Wu Min opened his mouth and said, Tong Guan has now been taken down, and the Privy Council will be his main business.

"Hou Aiqing, you are the head of the household, what can you do?"

Zhao Huan looked at Hou Meng and asked.

"Your Majesty, if public opinion is surging today, the people have been brutalized and oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials over the years, if it is forcibly expropriated, I am afraid that there will be more anti-thieves."

Hou Meng opened his mouth and said, in the current world, the Great Song Dynasty has no prestige, and the people do not trust the imperial court, which is very troublesome.

"I asked you for a solution, but I didn't ask you for a problem!"

Zhao Huan was a little annoyed, he naturally knew that he couldn't be forcibly recruited, and he didn't need to be reminded by Hou Meng.

"Your Majesty, you can reduce taxes according to the disaster situation, the floods around Tokyo, the taxes are comprehensive, and there are bandits in the Jinghu area, and the tax will be reduced by 30% ......"

Hou Meng said his own way.

"This is feasible, I will edict!"

Zhao Huan nodded.

"Your Majesty, Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan, Zhu Mian, Li Yan, and Liang Shicheng have been in charge of the government for many years, brutal and corrupt, and their family property is all obtained from corruption, Your Majesty can order the guards to go to raid the house, and the wealth obtained is enough to fill the treasury!"

Li Gang said at this time, he saw that Zhao Huan wanted to clean up the responsibility of the previous dynasty and clean up the court, which was what he had always wanted to do, so he was ready to push it.

"Huh?"

Zhao Huan was a little moved, but he was also a little worried, although these six people were won, but all six of them were in the position of Zaifu, which was the apex of the scholar.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin placed an oath monument in the royal ancestral worship place in the palace, and there were several oaths engraved on the oath monument:

(1) If the descendants of the Chai family are guilty, they shall not be punished, and if they commit rebellion, they shall be given all in prison, and they shall not be tortured and killed, nor shall they be allowed to sit in a subordinate position.

(2) Do not kill scholars and doctors or those who write to them.

(3) If the descendants have this oath, the heavens will die.

Zhao Huan has also seen this oath tablet, Taizu's oath must be obeyed as a descendant, but Cai Jing and the others are all scholars, and he can't kill them, which makes him unable to deal with Cai Jing and the others.

"Your Majesty, Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan, Zhu Mian, Li Yan, and Liang Shicheng have brought disaster to the country and the people, and neither national law nor heavenly law can be forgiven!"

Li Gang saw Zhao Huan's concern and continued to speak.

"Taizu once swore that he would not kill the scholars and doctors and the people who wrote to them, these people have brought disaster to the country and the people, and they must be severely punished, but I can't violate Taizu's oath!"

Zhao Huan looked at the ministers and said, he used Tai Student's book to take down Cai Jing and others today, relying on Taizu's sentence not to kill the scholar doctor and the person who wrote the book, even if it is in addition to the problem, he can use this oath to calm everything.

But the problem lies in this oath, which is very respectful to officials because they have no fear.

"Your Majesty, these people can be dismissed and sent to the Far Evil Military State!"

Immediately, some officials came out of the class to say that they didn't want Cai Jing and others to die, not that they wanted to help Cai Jing and others speak, but to ensure that Cai Jing and others did not die in the future.

"That's it, Li Gang, first promote you to Shangshu Youcheng and stay in Tokyo, and be responsible for interrogating those people!"

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang and said.

"Under your command, the people have fled Tokyo for some days, and an edict should be issued earlier to appease the people and let the people return to their household registration."

Someone spoke again.

"Draw up an edict!"

Zhao Huan nodded.

The court meeting soon ended, and the ministers left the palace with their own concerns.

Jingbei Road, Runing Prefecture.

Horse-drawn wagons are loading goods.

"Hurry up, we need to get back to Tokyo sooner! The proprietor is still waiting for us! ”

Cao Zheng urged the guys who were loaded.

"Brother Cao, don't worry, you can already have a stick of incense to load!"

The guys laughed, some of these were the mischievous idlers brought out of Tokyo, and some of them were "guys" recruited in situ.

A Kong Mu walked over with a team of messengers.

"Kongmu, this cargo is all loaded, so why?"

Cao Zheng smiled and looked at Kong Mu who came over, took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and handed it over.

Kong Mu's eyes lit up when he saw the gold, and it was common for him to take bribes, and he looked like he was going to shake hands, so he naturally took the gold into his sleeve.

"What's wrong with the Zhang family's caravan, the old business in Tokyo!"

Kong Mu smiled and took out the good reason, proving that most of the people in this caravan were from Runing Prefecture and their identities were innocent.

Behind the operation of a caravan in Tokyo is the support of officials, and the magistrates will naturally open the door to convenience when they get the benefits, and they will not make trouble for themselves.

"Thank you Kongmu! When I go back, I will definitely explain Kong's help to the owner! ”

Cao Zheng smiled and took the excuse and said.

"Haha, Brother Cao Zheng is a wonderful person, much more sensible than those people before, let's go, I'll send you a drink!"

Kong Mu smiled and invited Cao Zheng.

"Thank you Kongmu, but the goods are all loaded, and the owner is in a hurry to let me go back, and Kongmu also knows the situation in Tokyo!"

Cao Zheng smiled and excused himself.

"Haha, then I wish Brother Cao a smooth journey!"

Kong Mu said with a smile, Tokyo is now in short supply, and it can be sold at a good price if it is shipped back a day earlier.

The same thing happened in various parts of Yingzhou and Ruzhou, and a large number of Liangshan soldiers were mixed in these caravans.

The caravans loaded their goods and headed for Tokyo, so they didn't have to worry about entering Tokyo with an official reason.

At this time, in the Tokyo prison, Li Gang was interrogating Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan, Zhu Mian, Li Yan, and Liang Shicheng.

"Li Gang, don't think that you can wrestle with us if you become Shangshu Youcheng, you are not worthy!"

Zhu Mian looked at Li Gang and shouted.

"Li Gang, don't try to scare us, you can't punish the doctor, you can't punish us. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there was an oath not to kill the scholars! ”

Liang Shicheng looked at Li Gang and snorted coldly.

Several of them were fearless, without the slightest appearance of prisoners, and sat directly on the chairs on both sides of the lobby. (End of chapter)
