Chapter 504: Serious Rectification(1/2)

This "official law" is the product of "cleaning the administration of officials". In addition to the redundant expenses of the court, it also targets the officials' excessive luxury and over-the-counterfeiting, etc.

In short, this is a highly targeted law. Since it is extremely targeted, no one here can escape it.

It is because they are involved in themselves that they dare not speak.

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhang Dun directly called out and said, "The law of the officials is issued by the Ministry of Personnel, and the Censorate will first talk about it."

The Censorate is the most important supervisory body. According to law, it can monitor all officials below the third rank.

Huang Lu sat upright, and Yu Guang swept over everyone and said in a deep voice: "Da Xianggong, since the rise of Taizu Longxing, all scholars have been blessed for generations, even if they have fame and fortune, they will be blessed for generations. In the capital, a seventh-rank minor official married his daughter, a dowry of 300 acres of fertile land, dozens of shops in various places, countless silks and satins. This situation has been seen in all dynasties, only our dynasty is so extravagant. Although there is no absurdity of fighting for wealth, it is also absurd reality."

No one here answered the conversation, Huang Lu was telling the truth.

Most of the people here came from aristocratic families, and they were naturally the best since childhood.

To what extent it has reached, in short, it is no longer surprising to be "uspunishment".

All the important officials of the dynasty here, so they naturally know how terrible the extravagance of the official class will have. However, to solve this problem, unless you scrape the bone to cure the poison, there is no way.

Everyone actually has a judgment on the effectiveness of this "Official Law" and is less than one in ten.

Su Shi was blocked just now and spoke again, saying, "Grandpa, Huang Zhongcheng, there is nothing wrong with our dynasty's talented scholars. If the family's resources are enough, the food and drink will naturally be their own. The court cannot stipulate what they eat and what they drink, right? I think that if the court has too much control over the court, it will be counterproductive."

Su Shi's words seem to be nothing wrong. The court treats scholars well. If scholars are rich, what's wrong with the flowers of the big boss?

If you don’t steal or rob, why don’t you spend money?

Huang Lu didn't like Su Shi very much. The file of the "Wutai Poetry Case" that year was in the Censorate. He read it when he had nothing to do, waiting for an opportunity in his heart.

Listening to Su Shi's open rebuttal, he snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong? The treasury of the court has reached the bottom and can only increase taxes. More and more scholars have become fatter and fatter as they eat. The people are poor and weak, starving to death, and becoming officials is forcibly to die. But Shangshu Su can maintain health because the court is not generous enough? Have you eaten too much wind and frost outside?"

Huang Lu said that he would hold a gun and a stick, and he would mock him and sarcastically.

Su Shi's face darkened and he said, "Su is just talking about the matter, why should Huang Zhongcheng be so mean, and he has lost his status as a senior official in the court."

Huang Lu really didn't have the grace of manners and said sarcastically: "You just talk about things, what's the matter? The people live in the fire and chaos in various places, and the people are almost out of business. Kaifeng City is full of flowers and wine, luxurious and luxurious. Inside and outside Kaifeng City, there are just two worlds. Can't Su Shangshu return to Beijing from outside, and he can't see a trace of it?"

Su Shi became even worse and said, "Huang Zhongcheng, what I am talking about is the law of officials. If you are dissatisfied with Su, you can confront him. Why should you be so aggressive and ignore the rules? Does the law of officials you have formulated stipulate that the Chief Censor can sarcastically sarcastically at the court meeting?"

"you!"

Huang Lu was furious and patted the table and was about to stand up.

"It's not embarrassing enough?"

Zhang Dun glanced at Huang Lu and Su Shi, with a serious face and a cold tone.

Huang Lu sat down with anger.

Su Shi had no expression on his face.

Zhang Dun looked at the others again and said, "The 'Official Law' is not aimed at anyone. The purpose is to control the behavior and ethics of officials at all levels and curb corruption. It is set to be temporary. If it is found inappropriate next year, it will be withdrawn and repaired."

Su Shi's face was a little better, and the others seemed to breathe a sigh of relief one after another.

Cai Bian looked at everyone calmly, especially Wen Yanbo.

Wen Yanbo curled up, his eyes seemingly narrowed, as if he had not slugged.

Cai Bian glanced at Zhang Dun and continued: "Let's discuss so much today, let's talk about the appointment below."

Everyone sat up straight and became more serious.

Wen Yanbo was still like that, motionless.

Cai Bian said: "First, the Grand Prime Minister was awarded the title of "Song Minister of Government Affairs" to take charge of the government affairs. Your Majesty was the one who was in charge of the world and ruled without doing anything."

‘The sage ruled with pride’, this was probably the goal that the scholar-official group had always pursued, and it was particularly strong in the Song Dynasty.

When the crowd heard this, only a few people took it seriously, and the others looked as usual.

Since the current official rule, the situation of the Song Dynasty has been upside down. No one will attribute all the credit to the "New Party". How can an official who can kill people and dare to lead the army in person?

This is an ambitious emperor who is comparable to Taizu!

Seeing that no one interrupted, Cai Bian continued, "The Zhengshi Hall, Zhang Dun is the prime minister and takes charge of government affairs. Cai Bian and Wang Cun are the deputy ministers of the left and right, and carry out government affairs. Wen Yanbo, Li Qingchen, Lin Xi, Xu is the general of the general, and is responsible for government affairs. Su Shi is the Minister of Works, Lai Zhishao is the Minister of Justice, Liang Tao is the Minister of Revenue, Huang Lu, the Chief Censor of the Censorate of the Censorate, and Huang Lu, who is divided into various departments. Cao Zheng is the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, Shen Kuo is the Priest of the Imperial College, and Cai You is the Commander of the Imperial City Department, and is directly under the Political Affairs Hall. All government offices have clear power and responsibilities and are in place. They should work together to report to the officials, provide peace to the people, and be loyal and honest and dedicated to the public!"

More than thirty people leaned forward together.

These are big talk, they have to express them seriously.

Big talk is the most overwhelming.

Zhang Dun sat upright and said, "Now, let's talk about Jiangnan West Road and He Yi's death. You have read the memorial of Xianggong Wen."

Everyone knew that today's things were not simple, and they expected that it would involve Jiangnan West Road, but when they saw Zhang Dun say it with their own eyes, they were still in a state of silence.

He Yi was on Jiangnan West Road for half a year. As a "governor", he held the title of imperial envoy. However, the "new policy" did not advance at all, and finally died inexplicably!

What is the difference between such a thing and rebellion?

The court was indeed furious at the beginning and wanted to send Li Qingchen, Lin Xi and others to Jiangnan West Road to investigate strictly, but inexplicably retreated and continued until Wang Cun went, and it took nearly two months to "distance"!

The longer the delay, the more angry the court is, and the handling will inevitably be more severe!

Now, Wang has been on the West Road of Jiangnan. After so long, he has made no achievements except for verifying that Ying Guan’s several people are “corrupt and illegal, and they should be severely punished”.

There was no conclusion on the "new law" of Jiangnan West Road, and He Yi's death. The court and the people impeached the king of Jiangnan West Road to "wind people's hearts and cultivate private people" were endless.

Zhang Dun mentioned "Jiangnan West Road". Did the grand grandson and the officials finally make up their minds to settle the Jiangnan West Road?

The Minister of Justice Lai Zhishao was the first to be hit and said, "Great Prince, the anti-French incident on Jiangnan West Road and He Yi's death are of great nature, which has caused extremely bad influence. Not only is the court unfair face and authority, but he also ignores His Majesty and makes a ill-thinking plan. He should use the most severe means to punish him to serve as a warning to others and eliminate such matters!"

‘Murdering the imperial envoy is equivalent to rebellion’.

This sentence is not empty talk. No matter what position you are here, you will never tolerate murdering the imperial envoy.

But, what is the 'hardest method'?

Wen Yanbo opened his eyes and a glimmer of color appeared on his old face.

He remembered the day when he was fishing on the bow of the boat with Zhao Xu, and the cold look highlighted by Zhao Xu's face on the west road in Jiangnan.

Huang Lu, the chief censor, responded: "Great Prince, the Censorate means that the Censorate will send a team of people to inspect Jiangnan West Road in full-time. If you don't find out clearly, you will never return!"

Cai Bian looked at Lin Xi and said, "What does the Ministry of Personnel say?"

Lin Xi turned sideways and said: "The Ministry of Personnel is organizing a staff to conduct a careful investigation of the officialdom of Jiangnan West Road. The "Beijing Inspection" investigation is not comprehensive enough. The current attitude of the Ministry of Personnel is that all prefectures and county officials of Jiangnan West Road are dismissed. If they are not investigated, they will no longer be reused. The assistant officials will be transferred and will not be promoted for three years."

The Censorate, the Ministry of Personnel is responsible for inspecting officials, and the Ministry of Justice is responsible for criminal cases.

Cai Bian's eyes swept over and fell on Su Shi, saying, "What does the Ministry of Works say?"

"The Ministry of Works hopes to be urgent and then slow, and to be serious and then light, and to slowly and slowly." Su Shi said. He had nothing to do with Jiangnan West Road, but he just didn't want to make a big fight.

Cai Bian glanced at Li Qingchen, Liang Tao, Xu Jiang and others, his eyes fell on Wen Yanbo, and said, "Mr. Wen, what do you think?"

Wen Yanbo seemed to be thinking and said in a slow tone: "It is necessary to punish severely. I suggest that Na Yingguan and others be taken to the capital, investigate and trial, kill one to warn a hundred people to prevent future troubles."

Cai Bian looked motionless and looked at the old husband deeply.

Wen Yanbo's words seemed to be very serious, but in fact he was cleverly passing the blame. If Jiangnan West Road anti-France and He Yi's death were all on Ying Guan and others, the case of Jiangnan West Road was settled.

Zhang Dun didn't even look at him and said, "Is there anything else that anyone else wants to say?"

Li Qingchen had a dark face, suddenly stood up, raised his hand and said, "Grandpa, please ask for your order to go to Jiangnan West Road in person to investigate all the affairs of Jiangnan West Road!"

Su Shi decisively opposed it and said, "Glory Wang is still on Jiangnan West Road. What is the name of Li Shangshu going again?"

Su Shi certainly opposed it for the sake of opposition, but his words really hit the nail on the head.

A right prime minister is already on Jiangnan West Road. If you, the Minister of Rites, run over, are you going to take action?

Li Qingchen's face became increasingly unfair. He looked at the talented man who was once as famous as him and said coldly: "Mr. Wang Xianggong's good job, I will impeach Wang Cun here, and ask the master to recall him and ask for guilt!"

Many people showed surprises. A minister impeached the minister of the current dynasty, and the court and the officials must pay attention to it!

But there are also many people who are not surprised.

He Yi was recommended by Li Qingchen. The two had a close relationship. He Yi died inexplicably on Jiangnan West Road. Li Qingchen had long been unable to bear it.

Zhang Dun looked stern and shouted suddenly: "Nonsense! Is the Political Affairs Hall a place where you are fighting for your will and talk nonsense? Li Qingchen, Su Shi, Huang Lu, I warn you to pay attention to your words and deeds, and if you are out of order, you will be driven out. You are not allowed to participate in politics within a time limit, and you will think about your mistakes in your door!"

This is a very severe punishment.

Huang Lu was startled, quickly got up, raised his hand and said, "The official is aware of his crime, please calm down."

Li Qingchen frowned, and finally suppressed his anger and said, "The lower official is aware of his crime."

Su Shi was a little unwilling to accept it and knew that he could not contradict Zhang Dun on this occasion. He then stood up and raised his hand and said, "The lower official is aware of his crime."

Zhang Dun glanced over the three people coldly and said, "Jiangnan West Road must be seriously rectified. The original idea is to send one person to temporarily preside over the 'new law' and thoroughly investigate He Yi's death. This person has more authority than He Yi and can suppress Jiangnan West Road."

The crowd looked at each other and analyzed the candidates in their hearts.

But there is nothing suitable.

After all, He Yi was already an imperial envoy, and the cooperation of the "bandit suppression army", but he still couldn't move forward and eventually died. He had more authority. How could he be so powerful? The local snakes on Jiangnan West Road cannot be solved by killing one or two, because not only to find out He Yi's death, but also to implement the "new law".

The ‘New Law’ is not targeting one or two people, but the entire Jiangnan West Road!

Seeing that the crowd hesitated, Cai Bian revealed the answer and said, "I recommend Zongze, the doctor of the Ministry of War."

Secretary of War Xu General was stunned and looked at Cai Bian with some confusion.
