The emperor who just ascended the throne is worse than a dog.

Especially for Zhao Huan, who had just ascended the throne at that time, what would happen even if he took advantage of the Jin soldiers' siege to clean up the court?

Even if Li Gang, Li Ruobing and others wanted to cooperate with Zhao Huan to reform the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, it would be useless.

Being obedient and disobeying, doing work but not doing enough, working hard, non-violence and non-cooperation, for these old fritters in the Song Dynasty who longed for "Confucian treatment", there were too many ways to make the reforms that Zhao Huan wanted to carry out become a reality.

All in vain.

Moreover, there were Jin soldiers outside and Zhao Ji inside, so Zhao Huan's plan at that time to consolidate the power of various ministries and abolish officials, positions, affairs and a series of messy things could only remain on paper.

But it's different now.

If anyone dares to take what Zhao Huan said as shit, Zhao Huan will directly turn their whole family into thin air.

This is what leads troops to fight, and it is the confidence that can only be gained by winning battles continuously.

"So, who can tell me, although there are official officials, what is the use of the three provinces, six ministries and twenty-four divisions that cannot be cured unless others save them?"

Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Huan looked at the ministers in the court with a smile, and asked: "We stack up beds and build houses, and tend nine sheep out of ten. By the eighth year of Jiayou's reign, the number of officials in our Song Dynasty had been ten times that of the country."

In the early days, there was even a phenomenon of five or six people occupying an official position in the local area.

Who can tell me how many of these officials are actually doing work? How many of them are paid but do nothing?

Can any dear friend tell me, why do I support so many officials who cannot benefit the people with the people's wealth and wealth?

Should we let them sit and eat the royal food while oppressing and oppressing the people? Or should we wait for the golden soldiers to come so we can open the gates and dedicate the city?"

The words were unpleasant, Zhao Huan smiled brightly, and many ministers in the court looked as ugly as if they had eaten dog shit.

In the more than 160 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, this was probably the first time, and probably not the last time, that someone was pointed in the nose and scolded by an official but did not dare to retaliate.

It has completely disgraced the senior civil servants!

But there was nothing they could do. If they were sprayed by Zhao Xu, they could be sprayed back. If they were scolded by Zhao Jixiang, they could be scolded back. They had to listen with a smile and wait for the spittle on their faces to dry on their own.

But if it were a current official, who would dare? The last person to quarrel with a current official was Li Bangyan, and now the grass on his grave is three feet high!

Thinking of this, the courtiers in the court turned their attention to Li Gang and Li Ruobing.

However, Li Gang and Li Ruobing chose to look at their eyes, nose and nose -

When the officials said they wanted to solve the problem of redundant officials, these idiots in the court chose non-violent non-cooperation and all kinds of roundabout non-cooperation.

Later, when the officials asked them to carry out the four-frame and eight-step method, the idiots in the court chose to resist secretly and did not cooperate. The officials sent out and the idiots at the Yushitai chose to let go of those who were greedy and cruel for the sake of clearing their names.

generation.

Now that the officials are pointing their noses at you and scolding them, you still want me to jump out and block the gun for you?

he~tui~

"He Ji."

Just when the courtiers bowed their heads in silence, Zhao Huan told He Ji again: "He Qing might as well tell you the recent interesting things, so that the princes in the court can listen."

He Ji Dang even bowed in agreement, and then glanced at the courtiers with a ferocious smile. After laughing, He Ji found that he was becoming less and less like a good person.

"Xu Zhenlong, the transshipment envoy of Xuzhou, occupied more than 53 hectares of people's land and embezzled more than 200,000 guan in money. Wu Zhirong, the censor of the Yushitai Supervisory Commission, went to Xuzhou to inspect the capital and received 50,000 guan in money. Xu Zhenlong was rated high in the evaluation, and the Ministry of Officials planned to promote Xu Zhenlong To be the governor of Xuzhou."

"Xu Zhenfei, the magistrate of Wuzhou, occupied more than 22 hectares of people's land and embezzled 300,000 guan in money. The Yushitai Supervisory Censor received 50,000 guan in money, and he was rated high in the examination. The Ministry of Personnel plans to promote Xu Zhenfei to the position of Jiangnan East Road Transfer Envoy."

"On August 13, the first year of Jingkang, Shen Hao, the censor of the Yushitai, was assassinated in the street. Because Shen Zhongcheng had doubts about the results of the four-frame and eight-method evaluation, he publicly accused Liang Wenchang, the censor of the Yushitai, and Ge Ren, the Tianguan of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Jun is greedy for money."

"On August 14th of the first year of Jingkang, because Shen Hao was fine, Liang Wenchang, the imperial censor of the imperial censorship station, came forward to impeach the censor, Shen Hao, for being greedy and cruel."

"..."

As He Ji's mouth continued to open and close, Liang Wenchang, the imperial censor of the Yushitai, and Ge Wenjun, the official secretary, had completely collapsed on the ground.

However, He Ji had no intention of stopping, and instead added fuel to the fire: "In August of the first year of Jingkang, there was a rebellion on Fang Ping on Fujian Road, and there was chaos on Jiangnan East Road.

In September of the first year of Jingkang, many people on Lingnan Road rebelled against the gentry for increasing rents. Later, Huainan West Road, Jingdong East Road, Huainan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road, and Bashu roads all Rebellion.”

"Come on, who will tell me why the country of Song Dynasty is in war everywhere?"

After He Ji finished speaking, Zhao Huan asked with a smile: "Is it because my decree to never increase taxes is a perverse move, so that the people have to rise up? Is it that my decree has not left Bianjing at all? Or is it that you Waiting to deceive the Queen Mother? She has a good heart?"

He Ji bowed and said: "The imperial edict to never increase taxes has been made known to the world, and the people all over the world know your majesty's benevolence. However, your majesty does not increase taxes, but some people in the countryside increase rents. Your majesty counts Dingkou, and there are people among the people. It is said that His Majesty intends to conquer the landless and make them slaves."

Zhao Huan grunted, waved his hand and ordered He Ji to retreat. Then he looked at Liang Wenchang, the censor of the Yushitai, and Ge Renjun, the official secretary, and said: "Liang Wenchang and Ge Renjun were disobedient. Ling Chi, the nine tribes were exiled to Feng Shengzhou." .”

"Officials think twice!"

The soldiers of the front division directly dragged Liang Wenchang and Ge Renjun, who were screaming in agony, out of the palace. However, Li Gang stood up, bowed and said, "How could the officials sentence the two of them to Lingchi without a joint trial by the three divisions?"

Li Ruobing also stood up, bowed and said: "If the officials killed the two people directly, although the ministers and others knew that the officials meant to be benevolent and caring for the people, but the people were ignorant, they would definitely say that the officials killed the scholar-bureaucrats wantonly and violated the ancestral teachings. Why not put these two men in prison and set a date for a public trial by the three divisions in Kaifeng Mansion, so that the people will know how these two men died?"

"I second the proposal."

Li Gang also echoed: "The officials can have someone publish the method of killing these two beasts together with Xu Zhenhua, Xu Zhenfei and other thieves in newspapers, so that everyone in the world will know."

All the ministers in the court looked at Li Gang and Li Ruobing in confusion——

It seems that something strange has slipped into the ranks of officials?

Zhao Huan nodded with a smile, secretly praised Li Gang and Li Ruobing, and then continued: "Xi Xia has been renamed Gansu Chief Envoy. There are many unclaimed lands in the land, and I want to recruit people to open up wasteland. Sir, why don't you discuss it?"
