Returned to the Song Dynasty and became a faint king

When I came to the court. The ministers have been waiting for a long time, and it is different from the past. It was quiet in the court hall today. Unlike before, when I arrived late, the court hall would be a mess, and they would gather together in twos and threes to chat. Today, everyone is standing in their position with their ears, nose, nose and heart in mind.

Shao Chengzhang immediately shouted: The emperor has arrived. The ministers quickly knelt down to pay their respects.

I sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers kneeling below the court. There were obviously many missing among them. Almost half missing.

I said calmly: Flat body. The ministers quickly got up after thanking them.

Shao Chengzhang immediately shouted loudly: If there is something to do, we will start to act, but if there is nothing to do, we will retreat.

None of the ministers said a word. Kou Zhun saw that no one stood up to speak, so he walked out of the train and said: "I'm going to start playing to the emperor. I have my own notes."

I said: Master Kou, please speak.

Kou Zhun immediately said: "I have found out that Qin Hui and Gao Qiu are colluding with the enemy and treason." There were six ministers who collaborated with the enemy and treason with them, and as many as thirty-three who engaged in corruption and bribery with them. Please make your decision, Your Majesty.

After hearing this, I said loudly and bitterly: Those who collaborate with the enemy and treason are the Yi tribe. All property was confiscated to replenish the state treasury. Those who take bribes will be beheaded. All property was confiscated to replenish the state treasury. The children's families were assigned to the frontier to reclaim wasteland.

After hearing this, Kou Zhun immediately accepted the order and retreated.

Why are there no more peat ones? We haven’t said anything about Cai Jing yet! So I said to Kou Zhun: Master Kou, how is the investigation of Cai Jing's case going?

Kou Zhun hurriedly stood up again and said: The emperor has found out that Cai Jing has been corrupt and bribed, and there are twenty-three officials who have been corrupted and bribed with him. Cai Jing even used his official position to frame Zhongliang and forced Zhongliang to sell his son and daughter. He forcibly sold [-] acres of land in his hometown of Minzhou, and more than ten families were wiped out by their entire family, and no one survived.

However, the punishment was not good enough for the scholar-bureaucrats, so I could only dismiss them from their posts and investigate them, and punish them with twenty sticks to serve as a warning to others.

After hearing this, I was really furious. Kou Zhun, an upright man, treated officials who committed the most heinous crimes like this. Not to mention other officials, officials shield officials. How the hell do people still live?

I slapped my hand on the desk in front of me, stood up and said loudly and fiercely: From now on, the emperor will be guilty of the same crime as the common people. The punishment was not good enough for the scholar-bureaucrats to abolish it. All Cai Jing's officials were confiscated and their properties were confiscated to replenish the national treasury, and the land was distributed to the landless people. The wives, children, old and young were sent to the frontier to reclaim wasteland.

When I finished speaking, a large number of officials in the court immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: Your Majesty, you must not do this! Since ancient times, scholar-bureaucrats have been punished without punishment! The rabbit dies and the fox is sad. It seems that these ministers also know how to find a way out for themselves.

Looking at those still standing there, Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, Yang Cunzhong, Han Shizhong... and more than a dozen ministers. I feel a lot more at peace in my heart. As long as I have their support, I am not afraid.

So I looked at the dozens of officials who were kneeling on the ground crying and said fiercely: From now on, the punishment of scholar-officials who cannot be punished will be abolished in our Song Dynasty! Open your eyes and look at these people above the court. They are all full of food. Where are the people? How have the people been exploited?

One by one, they shouted, "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness." Etiquette, justice, integrity, filial piety, loyalty and trust are on the lips and stepped on the soles of the feet.

From now on, I will use the method of making the emperor commit the same crime as the common people. From the emperor and his relatives to the common people, no one will be spared from being punished for violating the law. For the sake of your wives, children, old and young, do more things for the country and the people!

I shouted loudly: Where are Yang Cunzhong and Kou Zhun? Yang Cunzhongli and Kou Zhun stood up and walked to the middle of the court. They walked to the front of the kneeling ministers and knelt down and said: I am here. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong have been rehabilitated, so Han Shizhong also went to court today.

I looked at Kou Zhun and Han Shizhong and said: I hope you two will establish the Supreme Court today. Kou Zhun was appointed Prime Minister of the Left and first president of the court. Han Shizhong was appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and cooperated with Kou Zhun to establish the court. All officials from the Ministry of Punishment were also integrated into the court. There are nine characters hanging in the middle hall of the court: "The emperor commits the same crime as the common people." Specialized in hearing all grievances in the world.

You two make ten more guillotines. The three beasts of dragon, tiger and dog are carved on the guillotine. The upper guillotine can be used to guillotine the emperor's relatives and the lower guillotine can be used to guillotine the traffickers and pawns. Carrying this guillotine, he traveled across the states and counties to judge the grievances of the people.

After hearing this, Kou Zhun and Han Shizhong immediately accepted the order and thanked him. Then he withdrew.

I shouted again: Where are Wang Anshi and Xin Qiji?

After hearing this, Wang Anshi and Xin Qiji immediately came to the place where Kou Zhun and Yang Cunzhong were kneeling just now, knelt down and said: I am here.

I looked at Wang Anshi and Xin Qiji and said: Make Xin Qiji the General of the Southern Conquest, lead a hundred thousand troops outside the city to conquer Fang La, and return to the court when the rebellion is suppressed.

Then I looked at Wang Anshi and said: Make Wang Anshi the Grand Master and establish the Royal Bank. Follow General Xin to the south to implement the (Green Crops Law) and (Fangtian Equalization Tax Law). All officials from the Ministry of Land and Industry and the Ministry of Works followed General Xin to rebuild Fangla's destroyed city. Distribute all ownerless land to landless farmers.

Wang Anshi and Xin Qiji immediately said after hearing this: "I accept your order." Then the two of them also retreated.

I shouted again: Where are Yue Fei and Yang Cunzhong?

Yue Fei and Yang Cunzhong immediately came out of the queue after hearing this. They also walked to the place where Wang Anshi and Xin Qiji were kneeling just now, knelt down and said: I am here.

I looked at Yue Fei and Yang Cunzhong and said loudly: Make Yue Fei the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and command all the soldiers and horses in the world. You only need to listen to my command. I am the marshal-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses.

The whole house was in an uproar as soon as this statement came out, which shocked everyone's jaws! The emperor actually took charge of the army himself, and Yue Fei's reward was unprecedented. It seemed that the emperor would pay attention to the army. The good days of civil servants are over.

The official kneeling on the ground immediately thought that his life would be difficult in the future. It was really not a wise move for him to kneel here with them to resist the emperor just now! They wanted to slap themselves in the face. Now I want to get up and retreat but I can't get up!

Then, I looked at Yang Cunzhong and said: Confer Yang Cunzhong the post of Minister of the General's Department of War. Lead all the military officials to cooperate with General Yue Fei to organize all the troops in the capital to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

You two need to hurry up and prepare quickly. I think if the Jin Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom knew that Qin Hui and Gao Qiu had been killed by us, they would definitely organize their troops to attack us crazily. The two of you need to be prepared in advance for emergencies.

After hearing this, Yue Fei and Yang Cunzhong immediately said loudly: If I accept the order, I will be shattered to pieces and block them north of the Yellow River, preventing them from advancing even an inch. The two of them left after talking.

I looked at Ouyang Xiu and said: Where is Ouyang Xiu? Ouyang Xiu immediately stood up, came to the place where Yue Fei and Yang Cunzhong were kneeling just now, knelt down and said: I am here.

I looked at Ouyang Xiu kneeling there and said: Make Ouyang Xiu the Right Chancellor and take charge of all affairs of the country first. You can work harder and promote and elect a group of useful officials for me. Get rid of all those corrupt officials and officials who were in their positions. Because a large number of refugee officials fled to Bianjing from the north, it was easy to select a group of available officials.

What's more, after the incidents involving Qin Hui, Gao Qiu, and Cai Jing, the number of officials above the court has been reduced by half. There were more than [-] officials, but now only about [-] were left. There are fifty people kneeling below!

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu immediately said: "I accept your order." After saying that, Ouyang Xiu also stood up and left.

I looked at everyone in the audience and said, "You all, get up!" Hand over all the money that you have embezzled and bribed over the years, and I will forget about it. If you don't pay, don't blame me for being ruthless. Those incompetent officials should resign voluntarily! I don’t want to make it bloody between us monarchs and ministers.

I will put a big box at the entrance of the palace tomorrow morning. You can exchange the money you have gained from corruption and bribery over the years into banknotes, write your names on it and put it in the big box. I won’t watch it, leaving it to Ouyang Xiu to take full responsibility. As long as it's not a heinous crime, I'll let it go.

I know these years have not been easy for you, so I declare. Your salary will be doubled, but whoever takes bribes in the future, don't blame me for being rude. When the dragon, tiger and dog guillotines are made, you can go and watch them.

At that time, Cai Jing's whole family will be hit by that guillotine. You can also go and watch it.

After that I got up and left. When Shao Chengzhang saw it, he immediately shouted: Retreat from the court.

The ministers were awakened by this, and all of them were covered in sweat. I was scared to death just now, but I will never dare to take corruption or bribery again.
