Under Zhao Jun's oppression, the court discussion that was still like a vegetable market just now rearranged the formation in just a few seconds.

In fact, some officials are not angry with Zhao Jun's strength, and even Zhao Jun has never been impeached in the position of the prefect of the Constitutional Yuan, but he has never been too lazy to deal with it, and he has the right to fart.

If Zhao Jun yelled at hundreds of officials like this before, maybe there would be a thorn in the head to immediately stand up and spray with him, and the party struggle between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty was actually very clear.

For example, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, both of them are not greedy or possessive, they are honest, and they both admire each other's character and morality.

However, political views are at odds.

It doesn't matter whether everyone is corrupt or not, whether they are clean and noble, it is purely a difference in position. They all have their own cognitions, their own ideas, and their own opinions, which caused such a situation.

Zhao Jun's existence is actually to help many prime ministers of the Constitutional Yuan complete the unification of political views, because he comes from later generations, and history has proven many things.

For example, Qingli's new policy is right, Wang Anshi's change is also right, there is no problem with the direction, and there are mistakes and omissions in the method.

Therefore, when he had proved a lot of things to the emperor and many prime ministers, and completed the unity of their political views, he was able to get the support of the emperor and the prime ministers and sit in this position.

But he can unify the opinions of the prime minister of the Constitutional Yuan, but he cannot unify the hundred officials.

After all, except for the people in the Constitutional Yuan, the rest of the people didn't know that he came from the later generations, and they could clearly distinguish the right and wrong of history, so naturally they couldn't let the officials believe in him.

It is as if the ancients believed in the supremacy of monarchy, the abnormality of celestial phenomena, the Confucian doctrine of Confucius, and the belief in ghosts and gods.

At the end of the day, it's a matter of cognition.

Their perception of everything is skewed, resulting in only their own set of worldviews and values.

Zhao Jun completed the adjustment of the three views of the emperor and the prime minister, but he could not reshape the three views of the hundred officials, so many of the hundred officials expressed their dissatisfaction and disagreement with Zhao Jun's ability to sit in the position of the governor of the Political Yuan.

But now no one stands up against him.

There are three reasons for this.

First, Zhao Jun Yu Wei was still there, and when he didn't agree with a word, hundreds of officials of the First Division of the Salt and Iron Division were all dismissed, and the guilty were arrested, and the innocent were also dismissed, which caused a shock to the Manchu Dynasty.

The second is that there is indeed an order in the court, and the prime minister has the power to maintain the order of the court, and there is nothing wrong with Zhao Jun asking everyone to stand up again.

Third, and most importantly, no one in the opposition or the reformists dared to offend Zhao Jun.

Because it was Fan Zhongyan who presided over the new policy.

Everyone naturally focused the output point of the contradiction on Fan Zhongyan's head.

Zhao Jun has the largest position and the greatest influence in front of the Constitutional Yuan and the emperor, so before Zhao Jun has not made his position clear, everyone is afraid of pushing Zhao Jun into the other party's camp.

This is the smartest thing about Zhao Jun, he doesn't preside over the reform, let Lao Fan be on top, so that everyone transfers the contradictions, and naturally no one will trouble him anymore.

So all kinds of things, seeing that his boss does not take the lead, it is taken by Zhao Jun's authority, and the thorns below are naturally obedient.

But that's about it.

Once everyone finds out Zhao Jun's position, I am afraid that they will also attack in groups.

At this moment, everyone lined up in class order, and they were silent.

Zhao Jun turned his back to Zhao Zhen, looked down, arched his hand to the back, and said in a cold voice: "The court meeting is the place where the court meets early, so that everyone can report their affairs to His Majesty, it should be solemn and solemn, not your backyard, noisy and noisy, what kind of system!" If you ignore discipline and wantonly disrupt the venue, you will be held accountable! ”

Zhao Zhen immediately stood up for him and said: "Han Long is right, the order of the Vertical Arch Hall should be solemn, even if there is a book to play, it should be one by one." Arguing with each other is simply contempt for the national system. Where are the many palace guards? ”

"In!"

The commander of the palace in front of the palace stood up and gave his hand.

"Anyone who disturbs the order again can be arrested and expelled by the order of the Governor's Court."

"Yes."

The commander of the guards replied sharply.

In an instant, the officials were solemn, and they didn't dare to say a word like before, and make a mess of the early dynasty, and the miasma was smoky.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!"

Zheng Jian stood up, looked at Zhao Jun first and said: "The prefect, the imperial history pickets hundreds of officials, and the discipline is upright, and the responsibility is not to disturb the venue." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun stepped aside and did not speak.

Then Zheng Jian said: "The minister impeached Lu Yijian, Sheng Du, Cheng Lin, and Li Zhang. colluded with Feng Shiyuan, a minor official in Kaifeng Prefecture, to pervert the law for bribes, collect banned books, and sell official titles."

Now it is back to the original point, Zheng Jian has been impeached every day in the past few days, but the officials obviously ignored him, and they were all talking about the test method, which made Zheng Jian very unhappy, and took advantage of this opportunity to immediately stand up and take the preemptive action.

But as soon as this sentence came out, the officials were all ready to move, but they didn't dare to speak immediately because of Zhao Jun's might.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Jun and asked, "What does Han Long think to do?" ”

"I have repeatedly said that a country should maintain the rule of law and adhere to the rule of law, and if it involves the powerful, it should be handled lightly, then the law is just a dead letter, and the world is not in chaos. Deal with this matter as you would like it. ”

Zhao Jun looked at Lu Yijian and Sheng Du and said, "The dignified prime minister, I won't think about shielding my son and son-in-law." ”

Lu Yijian and Sheng Du's faces turned pale in an instant.

Cheng Lin's eyes widened, after all, Lu Yijian and Sheng Du were their sons, and it was none of their business. Moreover, if you enter the Constitutional Yuan, you can often get preferential treatment without suspicion.

In other words, in the past, the Imperial Historical Observatory and the officials could hear about the affairs and use some things to impeach the prime minister, such as chasing the wind and shadows, having no evidence, or natural disasters and visions.

If it happens that the emperor also dislikes this prime minister, then he will use this excuse to remove the prime minister and replace him with another person.

But now the prime minister of the Constitutional Yuan will no longer be like this, the official position is a constant five-year term, unless there is conclusive evidence to break the law, otherwise even if something happens to his son, it will probably not affect Lu Yijian and Sheng Du.

But he Cheng Lin is different.

Cheng Lin was involved in the collusion with Feng Shiyuan by himself, and was caught with the evidence of the crime, involving himself.

So during this time, in addition to Lu Yijian and Sheng Du's opposition to the New Deal, he was also the biggest opposition.

Now Zhao Jun's words, didn't he sentence him to death?

Immediately, Cheng Lin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask, is Zhao Jun the emperor or is Your Majesty the emperor?" Why can Zhao Jun decide the life and death of the prime minister with one word, and in the long run, where is the majesty of His Majesty? ”

This is a heart-wrenching word.

If Cheng Lin would never dare to say this in the past, but when it comes to his political career, he can only do so.

"Are you deaf?"

Zhao Jun ignored him and said, "Didn't you hear that Your Majesty has handed over this matter to this court with full authority?" Your Majesty is naturally the son of the Holy Heaven, but the prime minister also has the power to assist the government, if it is granted by the Son of Heaven and the imperial power is granted, is it not possible to punish the sin according to the provisions of the law? ”

Cheng Lin didn't listen to it, and still said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty should have your own decisions and fairness, and you must not listen to some treacherous people and make your courtiers feel cold." ”

Lu Yijian opened his mouth and looked at Cheng Lin as if he was looking at a dead man.

Zhao Jun raised his head and looked at Zhao Zhen, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Cheng Lin said that the minister is a traitor, how can Your Majesty decide?" ”

"Cheng Lin violated the law, the evidence is conclusive, and it will be dealt with according to the law!"

Zhao Zhen said without hesitation: "Han Long, as the prefect of the Constitutional Yuan, is a hundred officials and assistants, for the country and the people, I must not let Han Long chill!" ”

"Then deal with it according to the law, where is the front of the palace?"

Zhao Jun asked loudly.

"In!"

Several guards stepped forward.

"Pull it down!"

Zhao Jun waved his hand: "First put him in the prison of the Imperial City Division, and check if he has any other cases." Niang Xipi, when you are an official, you don't want to be the master of the people, and you share your worries for the saint, and you know all day long that you should be killed! ”

Between their ancestors and grandchildren, not to mention Cheng Lin's face turned pale. The hundred officials were all shocked, they didn't expect Zhao Zhen to give Zhao Jun so much power.

Although everyone knows that Zhao Zhen favors Zhao Jun, it is completely unexpected to arbitrarily decide the life and death of a senior official who is only under the Constitutional Yuan and has also entered the Constitutional Yuan Alternate Tongzhi, and is more than the deputy prime minister.

This also made everyone frightened to find that Zhao Jun's power was far greater than they imagined. In the past, he didn't have a seizure but it didn't touch his interests, but now even if it doesn't touch his interests, once he has a seizure, it is as terrifying as a tiger descending from a mountain.

Immediately, Li Zhang, who was to be controlled by Tianzhang Pavilion, hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you must not be like this, Zhao Jun is powerful, he is reckless and reckless, and he will wantonly kill the members of the imperial court, and if it goes on like this, the people in the world only know Zhao Jun, but not Your Majesty!" ”

"This man is also an accomplice."

Zhao Jun waved his hand again: "The officials involved in the same case, no matter how big or small the official position is, where they live, since they have violated the law, they should be dealt with, where is the guard?" ”

"In!"

"Pull it down!"

"Yes."

Wolf-like guards swarmed and dragged people away.

In fact, Zhao Jun directly asked the guards to arrest people in the vertical arch hall, which was obviously overstepping his authority, which was a typical behavior of the ministers.

But before he couldn't stand it, Zhao Zhen cooperated with him, and he had already asked Si Wei to follow Zhao Jun's instructions.

In this way, it is not that Zhao Jun crossed the imperial power to order Si Wei to arrest people, but obeyed the emperor's instructions to do things, which belongs to the imperial privilege!

Different procedures naturally lead to different results.

Otherwise, if there is no such procedure, I am afraid that the officials will have to fry the pot, and there will be chaos in the court in an instant.

Soon, the more than a dozen officials who committed the crime, including Cheng Lin, Li Zhang and others, were all arrested and sent to the Imperial City Prison, awaiting interrogation and conviction.

The rest of the people were obviously concerned about each other, and they didn't dare to speak one by one because of what happened to them.

After all, the situation is completely different.

In the past, they could fool the emperor and thus win the party struggle.

But now that the emperor only listened to Zhao Jun's words, and achieved procedural justice, they didn't even have a place to blame.

The referee, ball card, circumstantial evidence, organizer, and co-organizer are all his people, what do you do to fight Zhao Jun?

"If you commit a crime, you should be caught, otherwise the majesty of the country will be swept away, and the prestige of the court will be destroyed!"

Zhao Jun watched these people being dragged out wailing, and said to the ground: "Pass my order, make their crimes public, and send them to the newspaper, so that the people can see the court's determination to deal with these lawbreaking officials!" ”

"Hanlong, why bother?"

Lu Yijian's face changed greatly, and many officials also changed their faces.

Officials care about reputation, and newspapers are now the biggest mouthpiece of Bianliang, not only radiating Bianliang City, but also radiating the entire Gyeonggi Road, and even foreign businessmen coming and going to Bianliang, most of them will take newspapers and leave as news anecdotes.

It can be said that if it is published in the newspaper, then Cheng Lin and others will be ruined in an instant, and it may also affect their children and grandchildren, so that their family and even the family will be finished.

"I don't want to kill them all, but you've disappointed me too much."

Zhao Jun looked at Lu Yijian and them, shook his head and said: "What I want to see is a united country, and what I see is that everyone works together to build this country well and make the Great Song Dynasty a strong and prosperous court." But what do I see now, you are intriguing with each other for your own selfish interests, and you are constantly attacking each other, can the country be better if it goes on like this? ”

This sentence is not only for the officials, but also to Lu Yijian and Sheng Du that everyone has united the front before and is striving for the common goal of a strong country.

What now?

Just because Lu Yijian's son committed a crime, he was impatient to sabotage the implementation of the new policy.

The damage to officialdom caused by the examination law is much lower than that of the Qingli New Deal.

Even so, they could not accept it.

Do you really think that if the New Deal is canceled, their crimes will be revealed?

It doesn't make sense.

"The prefect, when the officials see injustice, they should criticize themselves, the new policy is not good government but bad government, how can it continue?"

Seeing this, some Lu Party officials immediately stood up to refute it.

"Bad government?"

Zhao Jun frowned and said: "Regulating the code of conduct of officials is bad government? Shouldn't it be a good government for you to abolish all supervision of officials and let you do whatever you want? ”

"Me"

The man didn't know what to say for a moment.

"The imperial court spends tens of millions of dollars every year to raise your group of silverfish, and this is how you repay the imperial court? Look for yourselves what you have done, and what is worthy of your annual income, and which is worthy of the fat and anointing of the people who feed you? ”

Zhao Jun reprimanded angrily: "Just because your parents are powerful and can enter the house? Or do you study poetry and books for many years, and once you are a jinshi, you think that the carp jumps over the dragon gate? Lao Tzu tells you that none of you are nobler than the other, and they are all the same as a head on their shoulders. You have destroyed the foundation of the court, and the people have risen up, and they can still chop off your heads and kick them as balls! ”

"Zhiyuan, this is serious!"

Someone immediately retorted: "We are also for the sake of the imperial court, under the new policy, the officials dare not slack off day and night, and if it goes on for so long, it will hurt the hearts of the ministers." ”

"I'm hurting your head!"

Zhao Jun roared: "Eat and drink every day, hug your concubine at home, walk around the Qinglou in the city, don't do anything every day, just take the little power in your hand to show off your might, who gave you the power, who gave you the courage?" Your Majesty wants officials who do practical things in the Manchu Dynasty, and you don't need a bunch of silverfish! ”

A heavy speech swept through like thunder, making the officials tremble.
