Later, Zhao Dongting and others followed the two elders into the tomb.

Zhao Dongting did not stay in Daozhu for too long, but just went to Chen Yidao's grave to worship and then left.

Chen Yidao's grave is very ordinary, just an ordinary earth tomb like the rest of the Dao Tomb.

This made Zhao Dongting feel a little moved.

No matter how powerful and powerful you have and how high your cultivation is, who can avoid a handful of loess in the end?

The meaning of life is probably to do enough meaningful things in a limited life! For oneself, the meaningful thing is to establish eternal achievements for the Song Dynasty, and then to accompany the girls until they grow old.

Chen Fang's whole family was in Daozhun, not to mention the maid rewarded by Li Xiushu.

Zhao Dongting just told the two elders that if there was any need for the Knife Tomb, he would like to mention it to the court.

But I knew in my heart that with the personalities of the two elders, I probably would not make any demands on the court.

Leaving the Daochun, he went straight to Changsha.

I rushed to Changsha after more than a month.

He left the palace in mid-February and returned in mid-December.

Zhao Dongting's trip took a full ten months.

However, compared to the territory he has been through, the short ten months are obviously quite hasty.

Zhao Dongting himself was able to realize this.

But there are some things that cannot be done about it.

As an emperor, he could not take root somewhere for too long.

When conducting investigations in various places, we can only expect to see the small things.

Fortunately, the effect is quite good.

The ten months of investigation did make him think a lot.

Although many of these ideas were overturned by him, some of them were still retained and planned to carry out trial.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Dongting didn't even go to the harem, so he went directly to the imperial study room and asked Zhang Polu to invite Zhong Jian and others over.

State Council Order Zhong Jian, Supervision Order Zhao Yuluo, Military Order Wen Tianxiang, Exclusive Order Wang Wenfu, Deputy State Council Order Xiyi, Li Fanrong, Deputy State Council Order Zhu Hecong, Yao Yushi and others, as well as various ministers, were all Xuan in the imperial study room.

They didn't know about Zhao Dongting's return at this moment, and they were very happy to learn that the emperor summoned him.

Especially Zhong Jian.

When Zhao Dongting came back, he no longer needed to think about what happened in his heart.

Dozens of people gathered in the imperial study room, "I will meet with the emperor."

"All my beloveds are calm."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand with a smile, and then first asked Li Zhaoen, "Zhaoen, what's wrong with the steam engine?"

Even in front of all the ministers, he called Li Goudan "Zhaoheng", which is enough to show his love for Li Goudan in his heart.

Of course, this is also because Li Goudan probably was because he watched him grow up.

"Back to the Emperor."

Li Goudan gave a sensible salute and replied: "Since researchers from all over the country entered the palace, initial results have been achieved in the promotion and application of steam engines in all walks of life.

I am confident that I can try to put the steam engine into actual use in another half a year.”

He did not say anything specific to so many people, but this alone was enough to make Zhao Dongting happy.

"Okay, OK!"

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Then I'm waiting for you to make a big splash."

It was indeed a bit beyond his expectations that Li Goudan and others were able to make practical progress so quickly.

Then he asked Zhong Jian again, "Zhong Aiqing, what's going on with Lizhou West Road?"

It has been four months since he left West Lizhou Road.

I think the matter of Lizhou West Road has also come to an end.

"Back to the Emperor."

Zhong Jian bowed and reported: "The investigation into the officialdom of Lizhou West Road was officially ended half a month ago.

The ministers sent supervisors, the MIIS and new officials to investigate corruption, and each made a victory.

A total of 243 officials who committed illegal acts were dealt with, of which 114 were sentenced and 63 were demoted.

The rest of the people were given warnings.

There were nine people involved in the Mingjing Platform, all of whom were deprived of Mingjing’s identity.

All four from the MIIS were sentenced.”

"Um."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly and sighed: "I hope to use this to return the sky on the West Lizhou Road, and also give the rest of the road a warning."

He was not particularly surprised by this number.

Because he knew that even the chief Luan Hongmao committed suicide due to crime, the number of people involved would definitely not be fewer.

Zhong Jian pondered for a moment and said, "It's just Luan Hongmao's affairs..." Zhao Dongting said, "What's wrong with Luan Hongmao's affairs?"

Zhong Jian said: "Although Luan Hongmao committed suicide because he was afraid of his crime, he finally made contributions to the country. The ministers and others dared not decide without authorization, so they are now officially convicted of him.

In addition, I think that the reason why Luan Hongmao committed suicide because he was afraid of the crime was because he was the one who was the one who was the one who said he had not finished speaking, but the meaning was very obvious.

"Continue to check."

Zhao Dongting said lightly: "Find it to the end.

As for Luan Hongmao, how to convict it is, merit is merit, and fault is fault, these are two different things.

If he ignores the national law because of his merits, then I have so many meritorious ministers in the Song Dynasty. Wouldn't everyone be proud of his merits and contempt for the national law?

I have never given a gold medal to avoid death until now. You should know that I will never tolerate such things as favoritism and abuse of power."

"yes."

Zhong Jian quickly agreed to Zhao Dongting's tone.

The ministers couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Some people were thinking in their hearts whether they should ask their family members to restrain themselves.

They have a clear conscience, but there are inevitably family members who are more domineering because of their identities.
