April, May, and June, time passes like flowing water.

For the people from all over the country, this is a rare time to breathe. The summer grain harvest has been bumper, and the people who have been dealt with in turn by natural disasters and man-made disasters and military disasters can finally take a breath.

But this is limited to the vast number of farmers facing the loess and facing the sky.

From the grassroots level to the next level, the young citizens in the city knew how much happened between the Zhao Guanjia in Bianjing City and the Yan Prince of Zhending Mansion in the past few months.

Not to mention anything else, just public opinion, the officials and men are not all standing on the side of Zhao Guan’s family. The reason is very simple. During this period, there were hundreds of officials who were all large and small to be dealt with during this period. The lightest fine was to be punished. The worst was to lose their official position and go to prison. The worst was to lose their heads. In the end, at least half of the amount was to be taken.

The Zhao Guan family can't kill more than a dozen or twenty officials in a year, but Zhao Gou is quick and kills fifty or sixty in just a few months.

Starting from Li Hui's death, Zhao Gou forced the officials in the world to Bianliang step by step.

The conflicts in the fundamental interests of both sides have caused irreconcilable conflicts between each other, and his reputation has been ruined in the mouths of scholars and officials.

Brutal and harsh, one pot after another of sewage poured on his head, turning a hero who had only turned the tide not long ago into a cruel and raging devil. In the mouths of the moral gentlemen, he could compete with Qin Shihuang and Emperor Yang of Sui.

Because no one wants to put a shackle on their necks, and they don’t want to ruin their future life.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, let alone Zhao Gou is raising imperial power and suppressing civil servants' groups. Such a great hatred will naturally be irreconcilable.

It was precisely because Zhao Huan felt this change that his confidence gradually became tougher, but because he never got the recipe for thunder, both sides still had restraint in military affairs.

Zhao Huan had to maintain restraint.

He knew that Zhao Gou was consolidating his foundation, and that Zhao Gou was the weakest at this time, but whether it was Zhao Huan, Jurchens, or even the Dangxiang people in the west, they did not dare to take the initiative to launch an attack on him.

The deterrent power of the thunder can be seen.

Although the physical objects must have been transmitted to both sides of the north and south, the news reported by the Jinyiwei said that the Zhentian Thunder had been copied in the city of Bianliang, and they did not have the medicine powder. It was just that the power was too small and could not be comparable to the Zhentian Thunder.

The thing looks like black powder, but the formula and the purity of the raw materials are different, so the results are very different.

The Jinyiwei, who is currently hosting by Han Gongyi, has become famous in a short time, making the old senior Imperial City Secretary unable to raise his head.

The officials and scholars have been criticizing Zhao Gou for his cruelty and rampantness. The Jinyiwei put a bunch of big-character posters all over the ground, from Bianjing City to Luoyang City, from Luoyang City to Jinling, and holding movable type printing and ink technology in his hands, and easily listed the crimes of the officials he dealt with.

Looking at the amount of corruption in these individuals, the literati and officials could deny it or ignore it, but can the people have the same views as them?

The Chinese people's respect and pursuit of "The Master of the Blue Sky" from ancient times to the present are obvious to all. Zhao Gou's killing of corrupt officials has pushed the hearts of scholars far away, but has won real public opinion.

For example, Li Hui should not die in the eyes of the senior officials of the Song court. The amount of corruption was too much, but why did you need to kill people? Isn’t it just that people were demoted to Jingnan Lingnan from afar?

If possible, they would rather not die than an official in the world.

Fan Zhongyan said: "Since my ancestors, I have never killed my ministers easily. How could I easily destroy them? Moreover, I and the Duke are here, and how many people are in the same heart? Even though the superiors are not sure what they have decided. But if they are guided to kill the ministers, they will be sloppy in the future. Even if we do, we will not dare to protect ourselves!"

That has been firmly engraved in the hearts of the scholars and officials of Zhao Song for many years.

Officials and scholars all say that Zhao Gou is violent, but in fact, Zhao Gou has a reputation among the people and is somewhat innocent. The biggest reason is the hatred of corrupt officials by the people.

As long as the people were told the matter and the crimes were reported, Zhao Gou's supporters would be spread all over the country. This was all the credit for those big-character posters.

The current era is not the 21st century, with cameras everywhere in the streets and alleys. In an era where calls are entirely yelling and traffic are entirely dependent, only one or two members of the Jinyiwei need to take the big-character poster from the top, and then the entire city will be in turmoil.

Although the government can be beaten up as soon as possible when the officers can see it, the news can always be spread. What's more important is that the common people don't believe that there are still many good people in the world who are officials.

After the corruption of the Huizong era, the credibility of Zhao Song officials has long been as dirty as mud.

They said one thing, the people believed in the second. Just like at a certain period in later generations, no one believed in the court's words, but instead they all outlined the flavor of foreign media reports.

That is, after the information became more and more smooth, the faces of foreign media were seen through by an individual, and the situation changed a little.

But now it is the time when the lower class people are overwhelmed with the officials above their heads. Even though Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty did evil, he was seriously injured by the vitality of Zhao Song. The great riots in the north and the Fang La uprising in the south were still vivid in my mind.

In history, the Jin people went south to give Zhao Song the opportunity to divert hatred. All internal conflicts turned into clouds and smoke under the strong external oppression. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, the only one who really had the cards was Yang Yao.

It can only be said that the Zhao family overdraws its credibility too much. Now that the Jin people have retreated, the internal class contradictions have replaced the external ethnic contradictions and become the main body of the current society. Aren’t the people just listening to the words of the imperial government?

This emotion really helped Zhao Gou a lot.

Not to mention that Zhao Gou's achievements in the past few months are also real.

Well, he did not reduce the tax by one cent to the people, but under his supervision, no one in the prefectures and counties dared to gain benefits without restraint.

This does not mean that he has completely eliminated the situation of corruption, but that he cut a lot on the basis of the corruption of big officials and small officials earlier, saying that it is light to cut it in half. Officials who are worried about their brains have really been too restrained compared to previous years.

This is a huge benefit for the people in the north.

Not to mention the soldiers who served the king Bianliang, everyone reduced the taxes for five years, and Zhao Gou really did it.

In addition, Zhao Gou killed corrupt officials and slaughtered them, and this mass base was also established. In addition, he broke the siege of Bianliang, defeated the Jin captives many times, and recovered the northern land. The people would not really be the words of officials, and regarded Zhao Gou as the embodiment of violence.
