Day 2.

Under the leadership of Zhao Tingzhi, one by one 100,000 urgent twists and turns were once again placed in front of Zhao Xu, allowing Zhao Xu to make a decision.

The three prime ministers watched this scene coldly, although they knew that the atmosphere in the court was not right now, but they did not stop it, after all, they also wanted to test Zhao Xu's ability.

If Zhao Xu easily fell for the scheme, it means that they are correct to support the Empress Dowager Gao to listen to the government, if Zhao Xu can see through the plans of the ministers, then they will have to re-examine the possibility of Zhao Xu's pro-government.

The high-end power struggle is often so unpretentious, the capable go up, and the mediocre go down.

"It's just lawless!"

Zhao Xu looked at the fold in his hand and said angrily.

Zhao Tingzhi and the others were overjoyed, and immediately knew that Zhao Xu's emotions had been driven by them, and as long as Zhao Xu made a move, he would definitely show his flaws.

Fan Chunren and the others sighed in their hearts, the official family was still too young, and it was easy to fall for it.

Zhao Xu said angrily: "Ladies and gentlemen, please see, among the unjust, false and wrongful cases played by Su Aiqing of the Criminal Division, there is one of the most outrageous, Bi Sheng participated in the fake Jiaozi case after Bi Sheng, the mastermind is not guilty, the participants are not guilty, Bi Sheng was actually beheaded as a craftsman, are the officials who tried this case blind?" ”

Zhao Tingzhi and others were overjoyed, and Su Dun was rehabilitated after Bi Sheng, and it was the civil unjust cases they carefully selected were aimed at provoking Zhao Xu.

Su Shi heard the official's decision to name his son, and immediately seconded the proposal: "This case is a strange injustice through the ages, and if you don't catch the mastermind, you actually use the craftsman to atone for the crime, and ask the official family to investigate thoroughly." ”

"Quasi-play! The herald has a thorough investigation! Zhao Xu said angrily.

"The official is wise!" Hundreds of officials praised one after another,

Zhao Xu looked around and said solemnly: "I have recently seen the twists and turns of your Aiqing, it can be said that it is difficult to sleep and eat, and I found that the common people have been repeatedly oppressed, colluding with officials and businessmen for the evildoers, and getting away with it, and the good people have been repeatedly oppressed. ”

"Panic!" Zhao Tingzhi and others complimented one after another.

The civil and military officials all have complicated eyes, and they know in their hearts that the Great Song Dynasty may start the road of changing the law again from today.

Zhao Xu looked around the court, no longer resembling his previous anger, and said calmly: "Mencius said: The people are precious, the king is light, and the society is secondary. ”

"Today, I have issued an order to punish traitors and eliminate evil, and have ordered all walks of life and counties in the world to deal with thieves and bullies, local ruffians and hooligans, officials and businessmen collusion and other evil acts of oppressing the people."

"Punish the traitor and eliminate the evil order!"

The Manchu officials couldn't help but be stunned, why hadn't they heard of this new law.

Zhao Tingzhi and the others couldn't help frowning, they didn't expect Zhao Xu to go out of his way and create his own law without using a new law, which frustrated the idea of the official family deliberately angering the Empress Dowager Gao.

However, Zhao Tingzhi was not discouraged, but whenever the law is changed, there will definitely be loopholes, and when the time comes, they only need to use a little means, and they will definitely turn this seemingly selfless order of punishing and eliminating evil into a bad government.

The three prime ministers of Fan Chunren breathed a sigh of relief, although His Majesty still has the ambition to change the law, but he has not restarted the new law, which is also good news.

As for the order to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, Zhao Xu stood on the moral high ground of the people, nobles and gentlemen, and they had no reason to refute it, after all, during this period of time, the excerpts played by the court, the people were indeed full of grievances.

So far, since Zhao Xu ascended the throne, the first official decree was officially issued.

"The government has promulgated a new law!"

Yongwang Zhao Hao got the news of the court for the first time, and couldn't help but be ecstatic, as expected, Zhao Xu's young heart, once he was in power, he really couldn't bear the loneliness, so rashly issued a new law.

Zhao Tingzhi shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Yong, the order to punish adultery and eliminate evil is not Wang Anshi's law, but a new law!" ”

Zhao Hao sneered and said: "It doesn't matter if it's a new law or not, as long as it's a change in the law, as long as it becomes a law that brings disaster to the country and the people." ”

Zhao Tingzhi nodded and said, "King Yong is wise!" ”

At that moment, Zhao Hao immediately entered the palace to fulfill his filial piety for his mother, while Zhao Tingzhi secretly collected loopholes in the order to punish adultery and eliminate evil.

Kaifeng City!

When Kaifeng Mansion received Zhao Xu's order to punish the traitor and eliminate evil, Su Song immediately executed it one by one.

On the same day, Fan Zhengping, the lieutenant of Kaifeng County, led the Kaifeng officials to arrest the hooligans and bullies in Kaifeng City, and all the people arrested were severely punished.

All of a sudden, the Kaifeng gang was in a hurry, either arrested or fled.

Even Gao Yu, who was exiled for thousands of miles, did not escape the catastrophe, and was involved in a crime of extortion and was sentenced to another three years.

All of a sudden, Kaifeng City Road was not left behind, and the public security was good.

"Good! These ruffians have finally found retribution! ”

"The official family really loves the people like a son!"

"Punish the traitor and eliminate the evil order, this is good government!"

For a long time, both the new law and the old law have managed the people of the world, and even oppressed the people together with the ruffians and hooligans, but the order to punish the traitors and eliminate evil has made hundreds of people no longer be bullied, and naturally everyone applauded.

Kaifeng City.

Zhao Tingzhi worked hard to collect loopholes in the order to punish rape and eliminate evil, but found that he had no way to start.

It is the hooligans and bullies who are suppressed by the order to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, and these people are already complaining, but now they are severely punished by the government, and there is no one to speak for them.

On the contrary, because of the severe punishment of these ruffians and bullies, everyone shouted for social stability, and officials also took the best of both worlds.

"Impossible? But all changes to the law are controversial, and it is impossible for the order to punish adultery and eliminate evil to be perfect? Zhao Tingzhi said unwillingly.

Everyone in the court knows that the purpose of the order to punish adultery and eliminate evil is to eradicate the cancer of society, which must come from Fan Zheng's medical skills.

"Nope! The order to punish adultery and eliminate evil is not without loopholes, and as soon as this order is issued, the prison of Kaifeng Mansion is overcrowded, which is the law of cool officials. Zhao Tingzhi's face was hideous, and he finally found a loophole.

"The officials think twice, my great Song Dynasty is benevolent and governs the country, the order to punish rape and eliminate evil is a strict punishment and a strict law, and the punishment for minor crimes is heavy, and the people are rumored and dissatisfied."

At the moment, Zhao Tingzhi united with the imperial history and went all out to attack and punish the traitor and eliminate the evil order.

Zhao Xu asked rhetorically: "Zhao Aiqing, please tell me in detail which people are rumored about and which people are dissatisfied." ”

Zhao Tingzhi was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely: "This order is too harsh, it will damage Your Majesty's reputation, and there are many objections from the people, and Weichen is also a good thing." ”

Zhao Xu sneered: "It's those ruffians and hooligans who are making a noise!" How did I hear that as soon as the order to punish adultery and eliminate evil came out, the people did not leave any stone behind, and everyone applauded. ”

At that moment, Zhao Xu opened Su Song's recital and handed it over to the hundred officials for circulation.

Su Song is old-fashioned and stubborn, but his character is recognized by the Manchu Dynasty, with Su Song's twists and turns, coupled with what they have seen and heard, they can't help but bow slightly.

As Fan Zheng expected, the ruffians are like scabies carbuncles, everyone hates them, and no one stands out for them, maybe some people will be sentenced heavily, but there are almost no wronged people.

"The official is wise!" Hundreds of officials said one after another.

The young Zhao Xu on the complicated dragon chair of the Manchu Dynasty officials, and the first order of his administration can be described as a perfect pass.

Zhao Xu looked at the reaction of the Manchu officials, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, his pro-government debut finally passed, and now even the empress dowager can't find fault with it.

At that moment, Zhao Xu said again: "After I promulgated the order to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, the people's response was very good, but it also exposed a lot of problems, and many arrests and bullies colluded with each other to harm the people, and I was very heartbroken. ”

"Your Majesty is merciful." Zhao Tingzhi hurriedly complimented.

"That's why I decided to change the law to catch fast." Zhao Xu said in surprise again.

"Ahh

Baiguan was stunned and looked at Zhao Xu in disbelief.

Zhao Xu sneered in his heart, he had just taken control of the power and wanted to show his skills, how could he be satisfied with just a punishment order to eliminate evil.

At that moment, Zhao Xu said loudly: "The main responsibility of arresting criminals, protecting the people, and maintaining law and order are closely related to the people, but the arrest of the Great Song Dynasty is a cheap nationality, and the good and the bad are uneven, so that the officials and bandits collude and oppress the people. ”

Zhao Xu will change the law for the second time, and focus on the unsatisfactory performance of the rape and evil order.

The arrest of the Great Song Dynasty is a lowly nationality, and the good family is not willing to take on the role of catching fast at all, resulting in uneven arrest of good and bad, extortion and extortion, and extremely bad reviews among the people.

Lu Dafang frowned and said: "Your Majesty think twice, it has been a cheap nationality since ancient times, how can it be easily changed, this is not in line with the ancestral law." ”

Zhao Xu had the success of punishing the traitor and eliminating the evil order, and said forcefully at the moment: "It is not correct to have it since ancient times, it is not correct to have it since ancient times, and it has been there since ancient times, and the result is endless, and foot binding has also existed since ancient times, making women all over the world miserable. ”

"Exalted as an officer? A good family? ”

Zhao Tingzhi frowned, and immediately seized the loophole in Zhao Xu's order and said: "The official family doesn't know, catching fast is not just an ordinary position, he also needs a certain amount of martial arts, otherwise how can he arrest criminals, and a good family alone may not be competent." ”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he bowed his head slightly and said: "What Lord Zhao said is very true, yesterday Zhao Aiqing played the Great Song Dynasty with serious redundancy, which is just right to let the forbidden army from a good family serve as a fast catcher, especially the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the country, so that it not only solves some of the redundant army problems, but also allows these forbidden troops to defend the territory and the people from resisting foreign enemies to maintaining law and order, which kills two birds with one stone." ”

"Meritorious service forbidden army as a catcher?"

Officials in an uproar? Catching fast requires a certain amount of martial arts, and the forbidden army happens to be proficient in martial arts, and it can motivate the forbidden army to make meritorious contributions to kill the enemy, which is indeed a good prescription.

"The 800,000 forbidden troops of the ministers thank the official family for their great kindness!" The privy envoy Cao Hui said solemnly.

This law is extremely beneficial to the forbidden army, and the military naturally fully supports it.

Seeing this, the officials couldn't help but shrink their eyes, they didn't expect that the officials would have a deep meaning, and they would win over the military, and they all remained silent at the moment and no longer objected.

Inside the arched hall,

"The Empress Dowager, the order of punishing adultery and eliminating evil is applauded by the people, and everyone calls it good governance."

The Empress Dowager listened to Liang Weijian's report, and couldn't help but be silent for a while.

She is conservative and has always opposed the change of the law, but Zhao Xu's order to punish adultery and eliminate evil made her unable to start.

This method is to crack down on a group of black sheep and ruffians, and what is harvested is a piece of people's hearts.

Let's ask, when she knew such a good law, I am afraid that she would not refuse to implement the order to punish adultery and eliminate evil.

"Queen Mother, the official family has changed the law again, he actually abolished the cheap status of catching fast, and let the meritorious forbidden army serve as the fast catcher!" Zhao Hao hurriedly came in and said angrily.

"Abolish the catch! Meritorious service forbidden army as a catcher! ”

The Empress Dowager's eyes shrank, and Zhao Hao would only come to complain, but she saw the cleverness of Zhao Xu's move, which could not only solve the problem of redundant troops and the uneven capture of good and bad, but also win over the military.

"Go! Bring the medicine to the mourners! ”

Empress Dowager Gao said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Liang Weijian was stunned for a moment and immediately complied.

Soon, the decoction was boiled, and this time, the Empress Dowager Gao did not pour it out, and chose to drink it all.

"The Queen Mother! If the official family is so messy, it will definitely cause a big mess, and the queen mother must put state affairs first! Zhao Hao tried to slander Zhao Xu on the side.

Empress Dowager Gao was silent for a moment and said, "Now that the mourning family's body has almost recovered, you can leave Bianjing!" ”

The current situation is no longer a matter of whether to test or not, and if it continues like this, she may also lose power.

"Queen Mother!"

Zhao Hao was shocked when he heard this, and looked at the Empress Dowager Gao in disbelief, he didn't expect that Zhao Xu had already made the means of military power, and the queen mother could still tolerate it, and even gave up on him again.

"The official family is the lord of the world, and the military power is his, so why should he get involved." Empress Dowager Gao saw through Zhao Hao's thoughts at a glance and said directly.

If Zhao Xu had no means, she would be very disappointed, after all, one of her tasks was to cultivate a hero for the Great Song Dynasty.

And Zhao Xu's various behaviors do have the posture of a hero, which makes him have mixed feelings.

"Erchen..................."

Zhao Hao also wants to be in urgent need of redemption.

"This matter has been decided, and it cannot be changed!" Empress Dowager Gao looked directly at Zhao Hao and said.

When Zhao Hao heard this, he immediately stood there, he knew the queen mother best, and knew that the queen mother had made up her mind.

"Take care! Son's farewell! ”

After a long time, he kowtowed heavily to the Empress Dowager Gao, and left the vertical arch hall in despair.

However, he didn't see that the Empress Dowager Gao behind him was also in tears and heartbroken.

If Zhao Xu really restarts the new law once she gains power and makes people angry, she will put national affairs first.

Now that Zhao Xu's performance is beyond everyone's expectations, she naturally has to also focus on state affairs and try her best to avoid the chaos of imperial power.

"The Empress Dowager takes care of herself!"

Liang Weijian on the side persuaded.

Empress Dowager Gao shook her head and said: "This matter is already the best ending, the mourning family is ruthless today, it is a hundred times stronger than His Majesty's action in the future." ”

She knew that she let Zhao Hao, the king of Yong, leave Beijing, and Zhao Hao would be able to be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, which was already a mother's greatest protection for him.

As the Empress Dowager recovered and returned to the court to listen to the government, Zhao Hao, the king of Yong, set off from Bianjing again, and this time no one stayed with him.

When Zhao Xu got the news, he couldn't help but smile.

This time, he won completely, and there was no longer a threat to the throne, and now he was only one step away from being in power.

On the court, the Empress Dowager and Zhao Xu sat side by side in the court, looking the same as before, but in fact they were very different.

Zhao Xu's decree on the punishment of adultery and the reform of the government were not abolished, and no one mentioned them again, as if they had never happened.

However, the attitude of the ministers quietly changed, and before the ministers discussed state affairs, they all faced the Empress Dowager, so that Zhao Xu could only see his back.

Now they are all like Su Song, first reporting to the Empress Dowager Gao, and then respectfully reporting to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu used his performance to win the respect of the court.
