That night, before Zhao Xu fell asleep, the people from Tongjiansi finally found the memorial of the imperial censor impeaching Han Jie from Chongwen Academy in the first month of the year.

This memorial was written by Lu Tao, and the things described are very simple.

It can be seen from the yellow stickers: I heard that on the Chengdu Prefecture Road and the nearby Chuanzhou County, there was a discussion about bitter salt, high tea and cheap tea. I promoted the Chengdu Prefecture Road Supervision Department, or there may be something bad. I begged the court to give orders.

Behind this bullet, there is an instruction from the Empress Dowager: Report the report as Guo Xian, an official in the Chengdu Fuxing Prison.

Just send Guo Xian to investigate this matter.

Zhao Xu was thoughtful after reading the memorial.

So he asked: "Guo Aiqing, the imperial censor recently impeached Han Jie. Can you get Guo Xian's memorial?"

Guo Zhongxiao then presented a memorial to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu took it, put it in his hand, and smiled when he saw the name of the person who wrote the bullet.

Supervisory censor Su Che!

This is very reasonable. Su Che is from Shu. Now that he is the supervisory censor, of course he has to speak out for his hometown.

In the Song Dynasty, this was a matter of course.

If you are messing around in Fujian like Wang Zijing, the people who hate him most are not the old party, but the Fujian people in the new party.

Just because Wang Zijing was good at making money, he was favored by Zhao Xu's father.

Therefore, during the Yuanfeng era, everyone had nothing to do with him.

When Zhao Xu's father became seriously ill, the Yushitai began to impeach him first.

After Zhao Xu came to the throne, the Yushitai controlled by the New Party began to pursue and attack Wang Zijing, Jian Zhoufu and others.

That is to say, it was Li Ding who exposed Wu Juhou's case that overshadowed the limelight.

Otherwise, it would not be Wu Juhou who would be dealt with, but Wang Zijing, Jian Zhoufu and his son.

But precisely because of this, Wu Juhou could lift it high and put it down gently.

But Wang Zijing was sitting on wax.

When Cai Que went south and took office in Fujian, his first thing was to launch a violent impeachment against Wang Zijing.

Accused him of "corrupting the law" and "blocking trade routes" so that "good businessmen cannot make a living, and loyal people rarely get justice"

He also said, "He has repeatedly suppressed the remnants of the people, caused innocent people to lose their homes, and countless people have been wronged."

In short, everything that happened in Fujian was wrong, and it was all Wang Zijing's fault.

If Wang Zijing is not eliminated, Fujian will be uneasy.

Faced with Cai Que's impeachment, Wang Zijing panicked and kept writing letters to defend himself.

But in the end they could not withstand the anger of the entire Fujian scholar-bureaucrat group.

Therefore, in the first month of this year, the imperial minister ordered Wang Zijing to be controlled by Tianzhangge. He broke the laws of the late emperor and defeated the country's system. He was dismissed from Tianzhangge and was demoted to the deputy envoy of Taizhou Tuanlian and returned to his hometown.

This case is finally settled.

Then, the Jiangxi case also came to a conclusion.

Jian Zhoufu pursued Baowen Pavilion to be controlled, but still allowed him to serve as a high official in the court.

This is because Jian Zhoufu's son, Jian Xuchen, used his official rank to buy peace for his father.

Xuandelang, Jianxuchen, the minister's official foreign minister, was demoted to Chaoyilang and deposed as the governor of Huangzhou.

Of course, these processing results are all due to Zhao Xu's intervention.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to pass so easily.

Wang Zijing can't even think of returning home to retire, and Jian Zhoufu and his son can't even think of getting through it so easily.

no way!

Wu Juhou, Wang Zijing, and Jian Zhoufu were all the late emperor's white gloves for making money.

To deal with them seriously would be to slap the late emperor in the face.

It is difficult to maintain the reputation of the late emperor.

After all, future generations are not fools. You are bragging about how Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty loved the people and worked diligently. When you look back - oh! You love the people like this? I understand.

Therefore, downplaying the traces of these three people, especially what they did, is an inevitable choice.

At the same time, handling them can also inspire others - don't worry about doing things for me in the future!

As long as you are loyal to the king, if you fail in your affairs, I will keep you accountable!

Wu Juhou, Wang Zijing, and Jian Zhoufu are examples!

In this way, there will naturally be bold people who are willing to risk the world in the future to do things for Zhao Xu that no one would do under normal circumstances.

That’s too far!

Zhao Xu took Su Che's bullet and read it carefully.

Then he narrowed his eyes.

"It doesn't look like someone ordered it!" Zhao Xu said softly.

Su Che's impeachment memorial is much more detailed than Lu Tao's. Although it is only text, he lists several key pieces of evidence.

For example, in his memorial, Su Che said: Several counties in Xizhou sell official salt from Pujiang Well for one hundred and twenty cents per catty. In recent years, the consumption of salt springs has decreased, and there is more mud and sand, while Zizhou and other passerby salt

And white salt from small wells among the people is sold to various states, and its price is only seventy or eighty cents, and officials must suppress their spouses, which is deeply harmful to the people...

The common people eat salt, and the salt from Pujingjing sold to officials and prison officials costs one hundred and twenty coins per catty.

The official salt from Zizhou Road and other places next door is sold all the way to the prefectures and counties west of Chengdu, but it only costs seventy or eighty yuan a pound.

The salt produced in local private wells, legally produced in small wells, only costs this price after adding numerous taxes.

But in order to have a monopoly, the government imposed quota restrictions on these salts, and they were not allowed to sell more.

Forcing people to buy high-priced, low-quality salt.

Zhao Xu rubbed his temples and couldn't help but said: "You bastard!"

I don’t even know how to make money!

Zhao Xu was disappointed with this Han-level IQ.

Local salt is high-priced and low-quality. If you can't sell it, you want to use public power to monopolize it and force the people to eat your high-priced, low-quality salt.

Are the people fools?

Zhao Xu didn't even need to investigate, he could know that illegal salt was definitely rampant in the area.

Based on Han Jie's current IQ, Zhao Xu could probably guess his response - to increase the ban on foreign salt, strictly investigate illegal salt, and at the same time increase the price of official salt.

This is bound to fail!

So, Zhao Xu sighed: "Why did the Left Prime Minister give birth to such a stupid grandson?"

It's true that Han Jiang has no skills at all and is as stupid as a pig.

But the sad thing is that Zhao Xu knew in his heart that this was the normal level of officials in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.

He is stupid and stupid, but he still thinks he is smart.

Guo Zhongxiao was listening next to him, dripping with cold sweat.

He knew Han Jie.

It looks quite clever!

He doesn't look stupid either.

In this matter, Guo Zhongxiao was determined to be a mute.

But Zhao Xu refused to let him go and asked: "Guo Sheren, do you know about this Han rank?"

Guo Zhongxiao could only answer bravely: "I used to have some contacts in Luoyang."

"Was he this stupid in the past?" Zhao Xu asked.

Guo Zhongxiao did not dare to answer directly, so he could only say tactfully: "As far as I know, Han Jie is very knowledgeable. He used to live in Luoyang and was known for his eloquence."

Zhao Xu smiled. This was exactly the stereotype left by contemporary scholar-officials to future generations.

What he talks about is true and upright, but when it comes to actually governing the government, he throws a lot of punches and blows, causing trouble and trying every means to cover it up.

When I couldn't hide it anymore, I buried my head in the sand and pretended that nothing happened.

When the news has passed, he will appear in the officialdom again and continue to cause harm to the next place.

Until the imperial court could no longer bear it, and until no one dared to promote or recommend him anymore.

This is exactly the reason why Zhao Xu wanted to get closer to you and the old and new parties as much as possible, and even deliberately tried to get closer to Sima Guang.

Because there are people like this not only in the old party, but also in the new party, and I'm afraid there are even more.

There are too few capable officials who can do things!
