In mid-April of the fifth year of Jingkang, 60,000 Western Army arrived in Hanzhong. At the same time, Li Gang, a national military officer of Pingzhang, left Chang'an and decided to go to Xiangyang to command this civil war that concerns the country's destiny.

On the way, Li Gang ordered the Hubei Road Pacifier Gou Tao, Hunan Road Pacifier Zhe Yanzhi and other commanders to assemble the imperial guards of various departments, and the Xiang army troops, and they were all included in Wu Jie's troops. In this way, when Wu Jie arrived at the city of Lin'an, he would have more than 100,000 troops.

Before Li Gang set off, Wang Yongcheng, a Hanlin scholar who had Zhao Huan's secret order, was the deputy commander of the Hall Front Department, and Xue Qiang, with light clothes and simple followers, led more than a hundred people out of Chang'an, from Hanzhong to Raofeng Pass, down the Han River, and went to Wuchang, and from Wuchang to Taizhou.

The entire journey was about 5,000 miles. If the black card of the Privy Council was rushing for 500 miles, the journey could be completed in about 15 to 17 days. Wang Yongcheng and Xue Qiang knew that things were urgent. If they wanted to avoid a large-scale civil war, they had to be quick. Before Liu Guangshi conquered Lin'an or King Kang regained the overall situation in the southeast, they told Yue Fei and others to send troops. After receiving the imperial edict, they set off immediately. Because the imperial edict took the route of the northern line, which was safe and fast, and they kept changing horses along the way, galloping towards Taizhou at a faster speed than the black card of the Privy Council.

Since the Fuping War, the Jurchens sued the Hedong and Henan to resolve their internal crown prince dispute. On the front line of Jiangzhun, they only fought on a small scale. The rebels were still the main troubles of disturbing the Jin Dynasty and dragged down a large number of the main forces of the Jin army. In this case, the mobilization of the main forces of the Song army and the possible internal fighting in the future made the Jin Dynasty celebrate and excited. However, in the territory of the Song Dynasty, all those with knowledge were heartbroken, but there was no way.

Everyone knows that there is no way to compromise on the dispute over the throne of the emperor. Under such a general purpose, any desire to stop the war and extinguish the troops will be regarded as disloyal to one side and will eventually lead to a catastrophe.

Since Zhao Huan sent Xue Qiang and Wang Yongcheng, although he believed that Yue Fei would eventually accept the order to raise an army, he still made complete preparations. Li Gang went out of Chang'an to Xiangyang, Zhang Jun to Xingyuan were all his arrangements. In any case, he knew that he could not delay this matter anymore, nor could he afford it.

However, others could not imagine that when the situation was severe, the emperor's energy was most involved in the issuance and implementation of some legal provisions. In Zhao Huan's eyes, even if the Western Army really entered Lin'an and fought in the southeast, it was still a sure victory in this battle and it was not worth much attention.

Only various political and economic reforms are the most important.

His official study class system made domestic officials frightened, and Deng Wensi, who had the right to investigate and interrogate officials, even more terrifying.

Of course, spy politics is not good, and it is not so useful. When Zhao Huan was the crown prince, the old man Zhao Ji did not like the posthumous son of the Queen Wang, but preferred the third son, Prince Yun, Zhao Kai, who was handsome and handsome. Because of this kind of favor, Zhao Ji appointed Zhao Kai as the chief of the Imperial City Office and commanded the most famous spy organization in the Northern Song Dynasty. Because of this reason, for a long time, Zhao Huan had to worry about Zhao Kai stumbling behind him and using tricks.

When the Jin people invaded and Zhao Ji hurriedly passed the throne to Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai was dissatisfied and led the imperial city secretary to break into the palace. However, the hundreds of spies he brought disbanded on the spot when facing the three-foot sword of the infantry man Yu Hou He Guan who was guarding the palace gate, and it was useless.

In terms of intelligence reconnaissance, the so-called Imperial City Department is just a decoration. The emotional condoms that are reconnaissance are superficial and cannot be regarded as effective auxiliary to rule.

Deng Wensi, who can report on news and impeach and report officials in full, and has unlimited right to arrest humans, is comparable to the terror of Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, the structural principle of Deng Wensi was composed by Zhao Huan combined many successful experiences in later generations. In terms of structure and effectiveness, how can we compare to the Tang Dynasty's indiscriminate and random killing.

At this time, right in front of Zhao Huan, Yu Ping, wearing a scarlet-colored plaid-necked shirt, lacquered gauze and black leather boots, was holding a document in his hand, and pointed at Zhao Huan with a thrill of his eyes, reporting on his achievements over the past six months.

"There are rumors and rumors about 341 officials above the ninth rank. There is no evidence, and there is no abnormality. The rest of them have different circumstances.

More than fifty people have unknown origins and are inconsistent with their income;

More than 30 people colluded with local merchants and managed private property as officials;

More than 60 people often complain and are dissatisfied with the imperial court;

There were collusion with Jurchens and conspiracy to surrender more than ten rebels;

The other officials, resentment, arrogance, laziness, and disturbance of the people, are different."

Zhao Huan smiled faintly, asked him to sit down first, and then said, "Yes, after confirming the charge, report to the Political Affairs Hall of the Three Provinces. What should be done will be decided by the Political Affairs Hall."

The Song Dynasty officials had a huge income, and they still could not eliminate the existence of corruption. The entire civil servant group did not think that corruption was a great crime.

Being an official naturally requires getting rich, which was also the concept of people at that time. In this way, there were innate difficulties in supervising and investigating corrupt officials. In the Song Dynasty, corruption among officials was also a chronic disease and was difficult to eliminate.

Zhao Huan is now slowly taking action against the old system, and he did not reduce the salaries of officials first, but it was a precedent for officials to declare property. Such a theory was only implemented in European and American countries a thousand years later, but was used by Zhao Huan, a time traveler. In this way, the effect was really good enough. Countless corrupt officials were arrested and convicted because of the simple statement that the income does not match the property after the property was declared, and there was no way to escape it.

As for collusion with the Jurchens, except for a few officials on the border, it was mostly just an excuse. Deng Wensi was not to the outside world, and whether the officials were loyal to Zhao Huan and whether they still had sympathy and loyalty to Zhao Gou was the key to their investigation.

As for officials not to do business or to neglect their affairs, Zhao Huan also adopted later laws and regulations. He used this to defeat many political enemies and was easy to use.

He used the "examination method" of the improved Ming Dynasty minister Zhang Juzheng. He issued the political achievements, quantitative standards, and tasks assigned by local officials in the form of official documents, and set up numbers in batches. A political matter explained in the official document within a limited time must be completed. When it is completed, it is necessary to leave a bottom line. If it is not completed, the reasons need to be explained in detail and the reason must be explained clearly.

Even if it is the reason why human resources are irresistible, we must remember it, let alone those cowardly bureaucrats who are accustomed to shirking their responsibilities.

These two articles of property declaration and examination method are the two powerful tools Zhao Huan gave to Deng Wensi. When the sweeps, officials bowed their eyebrows and were frightened.

Over the past few months, except for the priests of the current dynasty who did not openly oppose it, countless officials have written letters to request the dismissal of the Wensi, just like the old Song Dynasty system.

The inspiring ones asked the emperor to behead Yu Ping to thank the world.

These people were sent to study classes in various places without exception, learning the essence of the test method under double regulations. Before I could write down a big word "天", I could not graduate and become an official again.

The only biggest factor that does not arouse a large-scale rebound and strong hostility is that no matter whether it is a den Wenshi or a study class, physical punishment is allowed to punish officials. Staying up late to attack the heart, bombard the fatigue, write study experience, and make a review. Various methods are endless, making many people worse than death, but they are all mental torture and will never involve the body.

Zhao Huan was proud of himself, but he heard Yu Ping say, "Your Majesty, even so, the Dengwensi has no right to interrogation, and there are many inconveniences in handling matters. If your Majesty trusts and allows the ministers to interrogate the criminals, the results will be better."

Seeing him licking his lips and looking bloodthirsty, Zhao Huan felt tired and said to himself: "The best way to kill people with a soft knife is to be the best, it's really stupid."

But with a smile on his face, he said to him: "If you govern a big country, you should take your time to do everything. You don't know that all the ministers are quite dissatisfied with you. If something happens to torture, I will not be able to protect you."

Yu Ping was shocked all over and knew that it was the emperor who woke him up. He was not at a high level and was of great importance. Although his official rank was only a sixth rank, even the officials in the Political Affairs Hall did not dare to underestimate him.

In the past six months, there have been many officials arrested, and who has no backers behind them? The saying of Yuping as the devil atmosphere in the world has long been lost. If he is greedy and makes the emperor tired, the fate will definitely be miserable.

He was originally a smart person. After thinking for a moment, he immediately realized and said repeatedly: "I am not thinking well, and I almost let Your Majesty ask you to forgive me."

"You are also a hardworking king, so why are you guilty?"

Seeing that he was panicked, Zhao Huan turned his mind around and praised him a few words. Now he has just implemented the examinations in various places in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and will be implemented nationwide in a while. Jiangnan, lakes, lakes, Guangdong and Fujian will be implemented together. It is the time to use people, but he doesn't expect Yu Ping to have any strange thoughts at this time.

After comforting her, Yu Ping retreated.

Zhao Huan stretched out his fingers gently, flicked the dust that was not on the hem of his robe, and ordered him to say, "Come on, I will send you an imperial edict to give you gold, silver and jade belts, and the level of literature will be promoted to the second level."

He had a bunch of masters who drafted edicts for him, and Hanlin scholars. Such rewards did not require Hanlin scholars to write. An expert in masters wearing green robe immediately stepped forward and wrote them quickly. In an instant, the edict was completed and issued to the world.

The two updates have been made, and the students have given the votes.
