The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 186

"To play the emperor, the minister has a book to play!"

Song Huizong glanced coldly and said, "Master Zheng, do you have something to play?"

Knowing that Huizong of Song Dynasty was in a fit of anger, he still dared to speak bluntly, obviously to bear the emperor's anger, but that man was not afraid, not because he was not afraid of death, but because he was sincere for the country and the people, so he was steadfast His head was covered with gray silver hair, and even his beard was a little white. This person was Zheng Juzhong, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

"Show the emperor, I think the emperor has done something wrong!" Zheng Juzhong was not afraid, even though Song Huizong's face was full of anger, he continued to speak loudly: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been such a big shock. .If the investigation is really carried out, I'm afraid it will be very involved and the foundation of the country will be shaken. I think the emperor will think twice!"

Song Huizong said coldly: "Oh, what should we do according to Mr. Zheng's intention?"

"Corrupt officials, everyone can get them and punish them!" Zheng Juzhong said unhurriedly, "I think that if we thoroughly investigate the corrupt people in the Song Dynasty, I worry that some people will be jealous. Misfortune is not blessing. However, this matter is of great importance, and we must not act carelessly, if it involves a lot, I am afraid it will be difficult to end!"

"It's hard to end? Huh!" Song Huizong snorted coldly, and said loudly: "I am the Son of Heaven, and the world is my world. Who would dare to disobey the imperial decree? Not to mention that the corrupt officials in the court have not been thoroughly investigated. If it is true Find out, so what if the involvement is serious?"

"What I want is that there will be no more corrupt officials in the court. Anyone who dares to offend Longyan will be killed! I will tell those officials who still want to seek personal gain. Whoever dares to use power for personal gain again, don't blame me for being ruthless; I also want to tell the people of the world , the country is still the Zhao family's country, those who plan to do something wrong, don't act rashly!"

"Master Zheng, I see that you have nothing to do in the Privy Council, and you are authorized to go back to the mansion for three months to recuperate. When you have figured it out, when will you come to see me again. Without my order, you can't leave the mansion for half a step. Go down!"

Song Huizong said indifferently, and then glanced at the court ministers, his face was very gloomy, and said: "Now, who else is against it? You might as well stand up all at once!"

Zheng Juzhong bluntly expressed his concerns, but was ruthlessly refuted by Song Huizong, and even let himself fall from the deputy envoy of the Privy Council to the mundane world, and was directly locked up in the mansion.If it wasn't for the imperial concubine's brother and Wang Gui's son-in-law, I'm afraid he would also be dismissed from office.

With him before him, whoever dared to refute Song Huizong had to bear it silently. Some of them were really worried about the future situation of the Song Dynasty, and some were worried that their self-interest would be affected.Song Huizong's trick of "killing chickens to scare monkeys" shocked the ministers in the court, and everyone knew that Song Huizong had become determined after eating the weight this time, and no one dared to have any objections.

"Since none of you lovers have any objections, then this matter will be handed over to the supervisory censor." Seeing the silence of the ministers, Song Huizong sneered in his heart. He has been the emperor for these years, how can he not know the truth in these people's hearts Thoughts, but not broken.

"Retreat!"

"The emperor has a decree: retreat!"

Everyone hastily bowed and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The courtiers retreated one after another, and only Zhao Gou stayed behind. Prince Zhao Huan and others showed a trace of panic in their eyes, and left in a hurry.Zhao Gou followed Song Huizong to the Imperial Study Room. He didn't know the reason, and he was a little puzzled.

"Old Jiu, are you wondering why I called you here!" Song Huizong looked at Zhao Gou with a smile, as if he knew what he was thinking, Zhao Gou nodded, and saw him sigh again, saying: "Officials, big and small, form cliques and form a whole of their own. I know this well!"

"There are many people who are corrupt and pervert the law and neglect their duties. I have been turning a blind eye to it, just because the timing is not ripe. Now, there is no need to continue to hide and eliminate them all. If they are left in the court Taking office is probably not a blessing but a disaster, Da Song can't stand such a storm anymore!"

"However, you have to remember one thing. Some people can't move him because of your situation. Even if you want to deal with him, you can't act without authorization. Your wings are not yet full, so you can't act too hastily, and you can deal with it later. Not too late!"

Zhao Gou knew what his father said meant something, so he told him not to deal with Gao Qiu and others too hastily.As for Prince Zhao Huan, Zhao Gou really didn't take him seriously, Gao Qiu and others really wanted to get rid of him, but Song Huizong said so, and he also understood what it meant.

"My son knows!"

"Supervising censors is the job of supervising all officials. The position is not high and the power is great. It can be investigated from the prime minister to the local officials. Even the princes, grandchildren, nobles, and relatives of the emperor can be investigated. It is precisely this kind of power. , will make all the officials afraid!"

Song Huizong said slowly: "I asked you to be the supervisory censor and gave you great power. Don't let me down. I know that you are capable and sometimes you need to learn. As for the duties and schedule of the supervisory censor, You can ask Xu Jingheng, with his assistance, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Thinking of Xu Jingheng, Zhao Gou asked in surprise, "Father, Xu Jingheng is an upright and upright official. He has also served as a supervisory censor for a year. Why hasn't he done anything?"

"Xu Jingheng is too upright. All the officials in the court are afraid of him. There are not many people who really talk to him. It's just because he doesn't know how to be flexible in his actions, but he knows how to read his words. It's not that he didn't do anything, but that I have never given him this power. With you leading the way and him guiding from the side, I feel much more relieved!"

Song Huizong thought of this person, and knew that he was a little sorry for him.After all, Xu Jingheng was a clean and honest official, never colluded with any forces in the court, took care of himself alone, and was loyal to himself wholeheartedly.However, he acted too upright and didn't know how to be tactful. He was reprimanded several times by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, both openly and secretly, before he learned how to observe his words and be flexible.

He is also aware of the matter of Zhu Xi, and Xu Jingheng has also opposed it, even if Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others are promoted, they dare to speak out.However, at that time Song Huizong couldn't help himself, so he had to ignore it, and this time he took advantage of Zhu Xi's incident to demote him, so that he could help Zhao Gou and clear the court.

Zhao Gou knew that Song Huizong was doing it for his own good, so he stopped talking, and gradually understood the doubts in his heart.After Song Huizong gave a few instructions, Zhao Gou left the imperial study, went out of the palace gate, and returned directly to the mansion.At the same time, Song Huizong stared at Zhao Gou's back and muttered to himself: "You have really grown a lot..."

Although Zhao Gou wanted to get rid of Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others as soon as possible, but he also understood the situation and had to give up the idea of ​​investigating them.Zhao Gou was afraid that he couldn't help it, so he dealt with them directly. If he really checked, he would definitely be much more powerful than others.

However, Zhao Gou also knew that his father was in court in the early morning, and Long Yan was furious. After eating the weight, he was determined to investigate the innocence of the officials of the Song Dynasty, and whether there were people who were corrupt and perverted the law.Could it be that Song Huizong, as the emperor, really didn't know who was corrupt?
Of course it's impossible, Song Huizong didn't know, Zhao Si must know, and would tell the truth.It's just that Song Huizong never intervened in any way, and Zhao Gou didn't bother to think too much because he had his own plans.The most urgent task at the moment is to do a good job as a supervisory censor!
Zhao Gou thought secretly: "Even if I am feared by all the officials, what if I don't like it? I am not an official for them, but for the great Song Dynasty, and for the people of the world! Since you are afraid of me, then I will come for you A shocking event, let those people remember well, and also remember the fate of being an official! If you want to get rich, don’t be an official, if you are an official, don’t think about getting rich, if you want to have both, I’m afraid you There is no such blessing!"
