Thinking about the big fights between the old parties in the previous life, the Yuanyou era, and all the nonsense that happened.

Zhao Xu just felt sick!

Although politics has always been dark.

Despite political struggles, the ends justify the means.

However, during the Yuanyou era, Zhao Xu was still amazed by the huge fights within the old party and the skill of each other in stabbing each other.

What impressed Zhao Xu most deeply was the impeachment case of Cheng Yi.

That was in Yuanyou's second or third year.

After Cheng Yi found out about Zhao Xu's illness in Miying Pavilion, he interrupted the feast, wrote to the Empress Dowager, and finally invited the imperial doctor.

Then……

Impeachments are coming in droves.

Just like ready.

It seems that someone has been waiting for a long time.

Just wait for Cheng Yi to write!

So how does Zhao Xu feel?

When he grows up and takes charge, the Luo Party and the Shu Party may be able to forgive him a little and give him some dignity.

However, the Shuo Party must be exterminated and exiled to Lingnan without leaving any room.

Why?

You fight and treat me as a bargaining chip and a chess piece!

You use my life and health as a tool for your struggle!

Do you still want me to show you dignity?

hehe!

To be honest, Zhao Xu was already very merciful because he did not secretly instruct the local officials to deliberately humiliate the exiled ministers and force them to commit suicide.

Therefore, Zhao Xu never doubted the courage of the civil servants and officials of the Song Dynasty.

Some of them are obsessed with political struggle.

In order to win, they dare to do anything.

What does it mean to deceive the emperor?

What does it mean to coerce the emperor?

In Zhao Xu's previous life, those bastards dared to gamble with his life.

And it's not just the radicals of the old party who would do such a thing.

Those restless guys in the new party will do the same thing if given the chance.

Their boldness is not something that only comes on the first day.

"I originally thought that I had demoted Li Ding and Liu Zhi, and exiled Wang Yansou... It was time for them to restrain themselves..." Zhao Xu murmured to himself.

Shi De next to him trembled when he heard this.

Li Ding, Liu Zhi, Wang Yansou...

Sure enough, it’s all the result of the officials’ deliberate actions!

He lowered his head deeply and completely deleted what he just heard from his mind.

Li Ding, inciting public opinion, intended to alienate the Tian family father and son, and undermine the great cause of the late emperor. This is a fact recognized by the government and the public, and has been written into the history of the country.

Liu Zhi and Wang Yansou were good at discussing the late emperor's virtues and policies, slandering his system, forming cliques for personal gain, and collaborating with each other. Therefore, one was demoted to Xiuzhou and was not allowed to sign official affairs of the state. He had to wait for five years before he was reinstated, while the other was simply thrown away. If you go to the Nanping Army, you will probably have to stay in the harsh mountains and rivers of the Nanping Army for the rest of your life.

The fate of these three people serves as a warning to both the court and the public - the emperor has a treacherous streak, and those who slander the late emperor will be punished by heaven.

A red line was drawn.

This is why the court has been relatively peaceful these days.

No matter whether it is the young faction of the new party or the radical faction of the old party, no one dares to stroke the tiger's whiskers without knowing clearly whether the tiger is real or not, for fear of becoming the next Li Ding, Liu Zhi, and Wang Yansou.

"Shi Deyi..." Zhao Xu waved to Shi De, gesturing for him to come closer.

Shi Deyi quickly lowered his head and came to Zhao Xu: "I'm here."

"Cai Jingke has talked to Dou Zhi, how can we prevent similar things from happening again in the future?"

Shi Deyi lowered his head and said nothing.

How could Cai Jing discuss such things with him, a minister, and risk his life?

Zhao Xu chuckled lightly and said to Shi De: "I know I can ask him tomorrow."

"Let's see if Kaifeng Mansion has any remedial measures to prevent similar things from happening again in the future."

For Zhao Xu, this matter was very embarrassing for him.

I sit all over the world, control the Detective Department, and own the Bianjing Newspaper.

Not to mention Bianjing City, it is the counties and towns under Kaifeng Prefecture. There are some disturbances, but I should have a clear view of them.

But this incident was like a blow to the head, waking up Zhao Xu from his fantasy of being invincible.

After waking up, Zhao Xu's first reaction was anger, then shame.

By now, these emotions have dissipated.

He calmed down.

As a top student studying abroad in modern times, Zhao Xu calmed down and naturally began to consider this matter with modern thinking.

Things are already like this.

There is no point in getting angry anymore.

Besides, this is also a very good opportunity for Zhao Xu!

Before that, Zhao Xu set up an archway to avoid irritating the civil servants and officials.

He has always strictly restricted the scope of activities and powers of the Detective Department.

Detectives in the Detective Department can only inquire about public information.

Moreover, they have no law enforcement power, and it is impossible for them to break into other people's homes and arrest people with driving stickers like the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty.

The Detective Department in Zhao Xu's hands has only expanded to a certain extent compared to the Xifeng era.

The number of soldiers increased from 500 to about 800.

Moreover, most of the increases are civilian personnel.

They are those subordinate officials who hold notebooks and run around the city of Bianjing every day, inquiring about prices in various neighborhoods in Bianjing and making statistics on price fluctuations.

It's amazing, that is, after this year, because Zhao Xu conquered Sun Ci and other merchants.

Some of the soldiers were diverted to foot shops or shops all over Bianjing.

Let them do one job and get two paychecks.

But that's all.

The government has always been a forbidden area for the Detective Department.

Under Zhao Xu's strict orders, the guards would not even get too close to the government offices unless necessary.

But now, something like this happened, Zhao Xu knew that the opportunity had come!

Because Cai Jing was the moral vacuum of the Song Dynasty.

Cai Jing must dare to do things that others dare not do, and he is very courageous!

How could he be the leader of the Six Thieves in vain?

and……

Zhao Xu licked his tongue.

Dali Temple is also involved here.

good!

very good!

Last time, the problem with Seng Lu Division was also caused by Dali Temple.

Finally, if Zhao Xu hadn't ordered the Empress Dowager's most trusted minister Fu Yaoyu to investigate.

As for Fu Yaoyu, although he is from the old party, he is a gentleman.

And it is the prototype of the idiom "There is no city".

Under Fu Yaoyu's investigation, all the facts of the case came to light.
