Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

follow-up?

Li Chunyou thought for a while, and said: "The Ministry of Punishment will immediately arrest the murderer who beat the court official and bring him to justice!"

"This is the end?"

"I'm stupid..."

"I don't think you are stupid, you dare not say it!"

Li Chunyou knelt down, and Zhao Ning continued: "Didn't you just say that you want to rectify Gangji?"

Li Chunyou was forced to have no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Su Provincial People's Court continue to strictly investigate Huaixi."

Zhao Guanjia said coldly: "This is what you said, then let your people restrain themselves, understand?"

Li Chunyou said nervously: "Returning to Your Majesty, there are no ministers. In Song Dynasty, they are all His Majesty's ministers, and they all serve His Majesty."

Zhao Ning did not continue to debate with him on this issue. Now that he had taken the opportunity to deter Li Chunyou, some Li Chunyou people in Huaixi would not dare to be arrogant anymore. The Ministry of Households will check the accounts, and the anti-corruption of the Su Provincial People's Court will definitely go smoothly .

Of course, this is not enough.

"Cai Mao!"

Cai Mao, who had been standing on the sidelines for a long time, trembled in his heart. He came out and said, "The minister is here."

"Come and make a summary for me, about Huaixi."

The other officials all took aim at Cai Mao.

We all know that Weng Yanguo is actually Cai Mao's person, and if Weng Yanguo played such a thing, did Cai Mao accept Weng Yanguo's money?

Who knows?

But our Zhao family likes to play killing and killing people, and also likes to use political means to play those who are not willing to cooperate with them to death.

Cai Mao said: "The Huaixi case is indeed a shocking and major case, which involves the following points."

"First, there are serious problems with taxation. There may be problems with the tax accounts from the transshipment envoys to the local government offices, which need to be strictly investigated."

"Second, officials colluded with local forces to forcibly annex the people's good land and then sell it at a high price, disturbing and hurting the people."

"Third, there are also major flaws in the registration of fertile land, which needs to be re-examined."

The hall fell into silence again.

Zhao Guanjia said: "No more?"

"I'm stupid, that's all I can think of." Cai Mao's palms were sweating. To be honest, this year's official Zhao family is really too difficult to serve.

Zhao Guanjia said: "I come to ask you, what are the responsibilities of the general judge?"

Cai Mao said: "In charge of food transportation, farmland, water conservancy and litigation, etc., the chief executive of the state capital has the responsibility to supervise."

"But Wang Zhongheng colluded with Weng Yanguo to deceive the court, what is this?" Zhao Ning stared at Cai Mao, "This is the failure of the supervisory officials, and it is the corruption of the supervisory power!"

"There is also Huaixi to mention some prison envoys. What are they doing? Such a big event has happened, and even a letter has not been uploaded. Do you not know, or do you not want to know?"

Silence again.

"Cai Qing, you come and answer me."

"Your Majesty is wise, this minister has not considered properly, the supervisory power of Huaixi officials has collapsed, officials have colluded with each other, and there are too many people to do their jobs."

"Where are you guys?" Officer Zhao glanced around, "Do you all agree with what Cai Zhizheng said?"

Everyone immediately said: "The minister waits for a second opinion."

A supervisory power, an administrative power, and a financial power, these points mentioned by Cai Mao basically cover these.

Zhao Ning said: "Since everyone agrees, and I also agree with what Cai Qing said, then Cai Qing will be responsible for the next rectification of Huaixi, how about it?"

Cai Mao didn't dare to say anything else, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "The minister leads the decree."

In fact, the mention of letting Cai Mao be in charge of Huaixi here already shows that the Zhao officials will not touch Cai Mao. Regardless of whether there is Cai Mao in Weng Yanguo's subsequent confession, Cai Mao is safe for the time being.

Everyone knows that this time Huaixi stopped the household department from checking accounts and land because most of them were conservative officials, including Li Chunyou, and of course Cai Mao's people.

Now Zhao Ning asked Cai Mao to state the problem, and then asked Cai Mao to investigate.

The purpose is also very simple, let Cai Mao take charge, and then suppress the Huaixi old school.

You, Cai Mao, talked about these problems in front of everyone in the court. If these problems are not resolved, it will be your fault!

In this way, the New Deal faction and the conservative faction have temporarily reached an agreement on the matter of Huaixi, and the resistance will naturally become much smaller.

"You have to go to Huaixi by yourself, go down there, understand?"

"The minister leads the order."

In the first stage of the Huaixi case, there was a paragraph in which Weng Yanguo was imprisoned and asked to be executed.

This incident is undoubtedly a major event in the fourth year of Jingkang. No one would have thought that Weng Yanguo, who had been enjoying great glory a few days ago, became a prisoner of death overnight.

What the Weng family was waiting for was to ransack their home, and being implicated by Weng Yanguo and Li Qing, the Li family who had just gained a firm foothold in Tokyo was also ransacked.

The head of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce steps down.

On this day, in addition to Cai Mao taking the lead in handling the Huaixi case, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs also increased its personnel input in Huaixi.

A bunch of memorials from Yushitai University were reported, and Huaixi was impeached as the commissioner of punishment and prison and the commissioner of Changping.

A big storm on Huaixi has just begun.

Coincidentally, just today, there was another news from Zongze that the Kingdom of Jin would send envoys to discuss peace.

Chapter 267 The Friendly Negotiation of the Song and Jin Envoys (Part [-])

There are several kinds of people in this world that are the scariest.

Cultured hooligans.

High IQ criminals.

There are also reasonable tyrants.

The officials in the court of the Great Song Dynasty deeply realized this.

The previous situation was that the Xinzheng faction went to investigate Huaixi, and when something went wrong, the blame was placed on the Xinzheng faction to create resistance and make the past officials quit.

Now, Huaixi's main responsibility rests with the head of the conservative faction, Cai Mao. If you don't settle the points you said, get out.

In the evening, Cai Mao and Li Chunyou were drinking.

Li Chunyou complained: "Cai Xianggong, I have long said that Weng Yanguo is unreliable, and even dared to kill the officials ordered by the court. These people have problems with their brains. Isn't this doing things on purpose!"

Cai Mao drank the wine and did not speak.

Li Chunyou continued: "Cai Xianggong, why don't I send a letter to Zhou Cai, the prefect of Shouchun, and ask him to restrain himself. After you pass by, find a few scapegoats and come back to deal with business?"

Cai Mao glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Should they just punish themselves with three more cups?"

"That's fine too..."

"What the hell!" Cai Mao's ignorance ignited.

He's the head of the conservatives, but he's not the head of the rebels!

With regard to Huaixi, Cai Mao clearly felt that the people below were out of control.

Cai Mao put down his wine glass heavily, and said, "If you don't settle the few things you said in the courtroom today, I, the consul, will never do it again!"

"Why, the officials still value it very much..."

"There's a point in being important! Now our people have fouled!" Cai Mao's face was gloomy, and a cold light appeared in his two slit-like eyes. "If you can't rectify it, you and I will be out!"

Li Chunyou was taken aback: "Isn't that..."

"We were kicked out of the capital, and the others would have nothing to eat."

Li Chunyou said: "If Cai Xianggong is kicked out of the court, who will check and balance Zhao Ding?"

Cai Mao said with a look of resentment: "Do you think that He Li's return is really as simple as stamping a stamp?"

"Cai Xianggong means..." Li Chunyou thought of this, and cold sweat broke out on his back instantly.

He almost ignored He Li who had no sense of existence.

He Li is the servant and minister Zuo Pushe. He has the right to refute, but most of the time, he sits like a mascot in Zuo Pushe's hall and never refute the current New Deal.

But don't forget, if he wants to refute, he can refute at any time.

Zhao officials would indeed consider the balance of court and court, and it was definitely not just Cai Mao's faction that could be used to contain Zhao Ding.

When necessary, Zhao Ning can kill Cai Mao at any time, let He Li stabilize the situation, and then promote a newcomer to become Shangshu Zuocheng.

Li Chunyou said: "Then this time..."

Cai Mao said cruelly: "This time, Huaixi must bleed, if Huaixi does not bleed, our status will not be guaranteed!"

The court situation has become complicated.

Especially a few days later, the news that one official from the household department was wounded and one was killed in Huaixi officially spread to the capital, causing public outrage.

The contradiction between the New Deal faction and the conservative faction has become a contradiction between the court and the local government.

On the eighth day of February, Cai Mao rushed to Huaixi in person under the pressure of public opinion in the capital.

I heard that from the capital to Huaixi, there were many bandits along the way. In order to protect Cai Zhizheng's life, the Zhao family sent three thousand imperial guards to accompany him.

It was in this complicated situation that Xilin Helu, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, entered the Song Dynasty again.

On February [-], Xilinghelu arrived in Tokyo.

It must be indispensable to be stopped by the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty along the way.

This time in Tokyo, Li Ruoshui, the Minister of Rites, met Xilin Helu.

Negotiators from both sides exchanged views on bilateral relations, future development, human destiny, and world peace.

Everyone at the scene was very enthusiastic, communicating with each other and listening patiently, which was very touching.

I heard that more than a dozen chairs were smashed.

Such negotiations, the two sides talked for a total of three days.

On the fourth day, Li Ruoshui reported the content of the negotiation to Zhao Ning.

Jin Guo's request is much more restrained than last time:

50. Give 30 Guansui coins and [-] bolts of silk every year.

[-]. Emperor Da Song and Emperor Da Jin are called uncles and nephews.

[-]. Fully open the mutual market between the two sides, and the Song Dynasty did not allow the collection of tariffs on the caravans of the Kingdom of Jin.

[-]. Delineate the border between the two countries, with Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Zhongshan Prefecture, and Hejian Prefecture as the boundary to delineate the national border between the two countries.

Fifth, the two sides will never engage in fighting.

After Zhao Ning read it, he also mentioned a few things.

[-]. There is no need to talk about old coins.

Second, calling uncle and nephew is exempt from discussion.

Third, consider opening up the mutual market.

100. Return the three towns in the north, as well as the original homeland, including the land of Yanyun bought by Tong Guan with [-] million guan.

Fifth, the two sides will never engage in fighting.

Li Ruoshui went to talk again, and the two sides continued for three days and three nights, and finally ended without a problem. Xilin Helu left Tokyo angrily like last time.

Li Ruoshui went back and replied: "Your Majesty, the envoy has left."

"I've heard about it."

Li Ruoshui asked: "Is Your Majesty really not going to negotiate a peace?"

"Do you think it's time to discuss peace?"

"If peace can be negotiated, it may not be a bad thing for Song Dynasty. Your Majesty can take this opportunity to rectify the internal affairs and train soldiers."

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "Your words are reasonable, but the Kingdom of Jin has already negotiated peace with Song Dynasty."

Li Ruoshui was startled when he heard the words: "I don't understand."

"The golden envoy set foot in Tokyo for the second time, and he has already stated that the golden country will not go to war with us in a short time, otherwise there is no need for him to come again."
