Chapter 1556: Sores on Royal Buttocks

Before the autumn harvest in September of the second year of Yuanyou, a huge anti-corruption storm suddenly blew up from Dasong River East Road.

Huang Tulu, the envoy to Changpingcang on Hedong Road, was sentenced to Huazhongyou in Qizhou, and Shi Wentao, the magistrate of Yangwuzhai, colluded internally and externally, embezzled the treasury, and smuggled into the Liao Kingdom. His crimes were so heinous that he sent weapons to the capital and went to Dali Temple to discuss the crime.

Several white-glove merchants who were once powerful and wealthy were not even qualified to go to Beijing to argue their crimes. After obtaining evidence, all their property was confiscated. The father and his son, who were over 16 years old, were convicted of collaborating with the enemy and executed.

Fan Ziqi, the former transshipment envoy on Hedong Road, was recommended improperly; Chen Anshi, the current transshipment envoy, appointed Yang Xu to be imprisoned in advance, but his supervision was inadequate and he was dismissed from his post as magistrate.

Gu Lin, the former Procuratorate Secretary, Secretary and Imperial College Scholar, was the one who was ridiculed as a "butcher" by Su Shi. Due to poor supervision, he was dismissed from his post and fined 20 kilograms of copper. Fastest update on PC: :/

Because Hedong was in decline, the imperial court ordered Taichang Shaoqing, who had served Hedong twice and was widely supported by the people, to write Zhang Jingxian in Jixian Hall and serve Hedong three times.

Gu Lin wrote a letter not wanting to go to the government, and asked himself to be Zhang Jingxian's deputy, saying that he had to get up wherever he fell.

The imperial court praised its ambition and followed it.

In the entire Hedong officialdom, almost all the first-level officials were dismissed and turned upside down. Even several of their predecessors were held jointly and severally responsible.

Logically speaking, Bi Zhongyou, Liu Zhengfu, and Lu Tao should have encountered great resistance. However, the matter was so weird. Such a big event was handled flawlessly by three small officials, with solid evidence and no flaws.

The power of the Han family played a decisive role here.

The Zhending Han family became prosperous from Han Yi, married Wang Dan's daughter, and became involved in political affairs.

Han Yi had eight sons, all of whom were Jinshi in high school. Among them, the third son Han Jiang and the sixth son Han Zhen served as prime ministers, and the fifth son Han Wei retired from the position of deputy prime minister.

There are as many as twenty grandsons of the Han family who have entered the court as officials. It can be said that the influence of the Han family in the Four Roads of Hebei is no less than that of the Han family in Xiangzhou.

Officials of the Song Dynasty were given a special amount of money called "official money" for welcoming guests. Any excessive use of official money, even if it was within the official's scope of authority, would be frantically impeached by the censor.

After Yuanfeng's restructuring, Zhao Xu raised the wages of officials in the Song Dynasty. Accordingly, the censors had more sufficient reasons for impeachment of officials who "committed stolen goods" and had almost "zero tolerance."

The penalty for corruption in the Song Dynasty was very severe, and the reputation of corruption offenders in Shilin was extremely bad.

Because the Song Dynasty had an extremely shameful criminal law called tattooing for officials who "committed stolen goods".

The so-called "punishment is not enough to make a doctor", in fact, in a narrow sense, this is what we are fighting for.

For the face-loving scholar-officials, this was a punishment that was not very harmful but extremely humiliating, even more severe than beheading.

As for the officials who had been tattooed, the entire family was basically expelled from the Shilin and "socially dead".

The crimes of the three people shocked the government and the public, and Gao Taotao was extremely angry. Lu Gongzhu begged Su You to lobby Gao Taotao, even if the three men were hanged instead, the punishment of tattooing was too shameful.

Su You, however, quoted two articles from "On the Morality of Scholars" and "On the Morality of Scholars Again" and believed that from the moment they reached out to the treasury, they could no longer be said to be scholar-bureaucrats.

Even if it is shameful, it is because they brought it upon themselves, and if they are charged with treason and surrendering to the enemy, I am afraid that the two of them will inevitably be cut into pieces.

So Lu Gongzhu begged Gao Taotao alone, asking Gao Taotao to forgive him.

Gao Taotao replied that the Dali Temple decree had just been reiterated. It was best for the royal family not to interfere with the judiciary except for amnesty. Does Sikong want to delegate power so that the royal family can intervene in the judicial trial process?

Lu Gongzhu was suddenly speechless.

However, the three charges were of varying severity. Dali Temple finally found Huang Tulu not guilty of treason and surrendering to the enemy, and only charged him with committing theft while in prison, and was accused of being a traitor to the New Song Dynasty. Hua Zhongyou did the same, so he was not guilty of death, and was also accused of being a traitor to Salmon Island; Shi Wentao was charged with treason with the enemy. Establish and make a decision.

Lu Gongzhu took the verdict and cried bitterly to the officials of the three provinces in the capital: "Shame! What a disgrace! The third and fifth grades of the dynasty have tattoos on the island! I would rather kill a few beasts myself than let them do it!" Defile the word scholar-bureaucrat!"

While Su You comforted Lu Gongzhu, he also issued an order to declare the three people's crimes in the Di newspaper, so that everyone could learn from the three people's lessons and take them as a warning.

He also made it clear that the purpose of establishing the Procuratorate Department in the imperial court was to prevent officials from reaching out randomly. In the future, such prosecutions will become the norm, and once discovered, they will not be tolerated.

The officialdom of the Song Dynasty was extremely solemn, especially the Fourth Road in Hebei Province.

In fact, the hands and feet of the remaining three Changping warehouses were not very clean. Fortunately, the grain came down in September. Officials at all levels quickly filled in the deficit, wiped their hands and waited for Lu Tao, Bi Zhongyou, and Liu Zhengfu to come over to correct the problem. Everyone denounced corruption together. molecular.

Bi Zhongyou solved this major case and became famous. He suddenly surpassed his elder brother and was promoted by the imperial court to the rank of inspector of the four capitals.

This was the great benefactor who saved the old Han family. Although the three officials who committed the embezzlement all came from the Han family, after careful investigation, it turned out that they had no interest in the old Han family.

Bi Zhongyou also reported the case "truthfully", proving that Han Zhen had no knowledge of the matter and had not received any benefit from the three people.

Therefore, the imperial court only reduced the blame and did not pursue the Han family.

Afterwards, Han Zhen wanted to thank Bi Zhongyou again, but found that Bi Zhongyou had been wary of this incident for a long time and had quietly left Hedong Road before Lu Tao and Liu Zhengfu.

Taiyuan's bronze wares are famous all over the world, but Bi Zhongyou doesn't sell them alone. He's also afraid that people will think he's being pretentious, so he goes ahead and buys two tea daggers and leaves.

When Han Zhen heard this, he sighed and said, "Like my uncle, he is truly pure."

…

It should have been Shen Kuo's job to clean up the officialdom in Hebei. However, Shen Kuo was from the New Party and could not play well in the old party's home in Hebei. Now that the court has sent officials to help him take care of the officialdom, Shen Kuo's ability will put no pressure on the rest. Already.

However, it was a good start there, but Zhao Xu caused a little trouble for Su You.

On Gengwu, Fan Zuyu went to give a lecture and found that Zhao Xu was not there. He stepped back and went to the capital hall: "You can't go to the Imperial Palace, do you know?"

Su You was surprised: "I don't know."

I called someone to inquire, but they said that Zhao Xu was not feeling well and had not shown up for two days.

Fan Zuyu then blamed Su You: "When the two saints came to court, they did not go to the palace. The emperor and the queen mother should not sit alone. Moreover, the master is sick and the prime minister does not know about it. Is it okay?"

Su You had no choice but to admit his mistake and quickly went to Gao Taotao to ask about the situation.

As a result, Gao Taotao not only refused to give an answer, but instead asked Su You to invite Shi Wei in, which scared Su You half to death.

When Shi Wei came back, Su You anxiously asked about the situation, but the result was dumbfounding.

It turned out that Zhao Xu had a sore on his buttocks. The young man felt ashamed and hid his physical condition. As a result, the sore delayed treatment and became serious.

Gao Taotao was so frightened that Zhao Xu beat him to death to prevent anyone from the Imperial Medical Bureau from looking at him. Gao Taotao was not at ease with the officials at the Royal Pharmacy Bureau, so Xuan Shiwei finally entered.

Shi Wei was Zhao Xu's sports coach and health doctor before. After Zhao Xu came to the throne, he handed over the responsibility. She was not used to this little brat at all. She looked at Zhao Xu coldly: "In normal times, your Majesty is your Majesty, but during consultations,

There are only doctors and patients. Your Majesty, should you take it off yourself or should I help you take it off?"

Zhao Xu's children's shoes indicate that his mood is very stable and he can take them off by himself without any help from Xianqing.

The result was that Zhao Xu had a sore on his children's shoes, which was filled with pus.

Shi Wei was angry and funny, and told Zhao Xu that this minor illness was not a troublesome thing at first, but if it had been 20 years ago, such delay might lead to septicemia, which would really kill her.

I gave him a needle, removed the pus, cleaned the wound with hydrogen peroxide, applied a cool ointment, told him to apply ice, and prescribed some medicine to clear away heat and reduce fire.

However, within two days, Zhao Xu's butt was basically fine. When Shi Wei re-examined him, she told Zhao Xu: "The emperor's health is related to the safety of the world, so we must be cautious. If your majesty has any minor illness in the future, you must speak up.

Never cover it up."

Then he sent an article from Sun Simiao's "The Great Physician's Sincerity" to Zhao Xu: "After your Majesty has read this doctor's heart, you will understand that sometimes you think too much and avoid treating illnesses, which is what a wise man will not do."

Zhao Xu felt a little aggrieved: "I can't trust those people."

After speaking, he added: "But I can trust Xianqing. If similar things happen in the future, I will ask Xianqing to come for diagnosis and treatment. Xianqing must not think that I am rude. I respect Xianqing and Situ very much."

Shi Wei smiled and said: "It's really rare for your Majesty to think so much about others at your age. Then we have agreed like this?"
