He has not lived enough

Since the government government seized Ning Wang's mansion, all the high-ranking officials and families in the capital were greatly astonished.

They were surprised that they didn't know anything about such a big move to seal down Prince Ning's mansion, and they were surprised that the emperor, who always seemed to be lazy and willful in government affairs, had such a thunderous method, and he directly pointed at the deep-rooted Prince Ning and his son.

How does this make them not suspicious and afraid?

Therefore, these days, all the rich and powerful families in the capital are cautious in their words and deeds, for fear of being involved.

On the contrary, the people in Kyoto applauded. Although the case was not closed, it had become the hottest topic of conversation in the streets and alleys.

Normally they dared not speak out against the actions of King Ning and his son, but now they are all;

"Your Majesty, Prince Ning and his son have been imprisoned. The Kyoto Prefecture, Dali Temple, and Dazongzheng Temple cooperated in the investigation, and the palace was searched several times. The evidence of all crimes is convincing. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Bai Qingyu handed a thick file to Zhao Yu, and he only skimmed through it roughly, and it included crimes such as killing with a stick without permission, buying people's land by force, any of which would be decapitated felony.

The more Zhao Yu flipped through the pages, the more frightened he became. He knew that Zhao Ke and the others were not good people, but when these crimes were presented to him one by one, the degree of extravagance was beyond his expectation.

However, this was not all, Bai Qingyu took out another file.

"As for their use of poison to control women and place them in various mansions as eyeliners, many officials and families in Beijing are involved. They naturally claim that they have no knowledge of what Prince Ning and his son are doing," Bai Qingyu continued, "But from the palace Judging from the collected letters, some of them did not know about it, but some were complicit in it.

"There is a lot involved in this, His Majesty, do you want to investigate further?"

Zhao Yu dropped the file: "Check, why not check?"

Filled with righteous indignation, he pointed to the file and said, "They are enough to do these things... enough to beheaded hundreds of times. How many people's families have been ruined, their wives have been separated, and the court has spent so much money to support them. Is this how they repay the court? "

Dozens of remains were found in several abandoned courtyards in Prince Ning's Mansion, including men, women, and children, but most of them were women and girls, and it was difficult to identify their identities after a long time.

Zhao Yu saw that his teeth were itching, those two father and son were so bad together, wouldn't they have nightmares if they lived in such a house every day?

He said that although the original owner was arrogant, extravagant, lascivious, delicious and lazy, he was just a cowardly and cowardly fool, and he didn't do anything that could be called cruel. Moreover, the Great Jin had just been passed on for three dynasties, and his family was quite rich. Why? So it was easy to be beaten all the way to Kyoto?

It turned out that the following cystic moths did all kinds of bad things in their daily life and lost the hearts of the people.

What's even more exasperating is that after welcoming the rebel army into Beijing, these people transformed themselves into the upstarts of the new dynasty. They did not delay their prosperity and wealth at all, but those loyal officials and generals who were sincerely loyal to the original owner were all purged.

However, if you say one hundred thousand ten thousand, Zhao Yu can't deny that the reason why people like King Ning and his son can be so unscrupulous is because of the incompetence and connivance of the original owner.

"It's true that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!"

Zhao Yu couldn't hold back and cursed with his hips on his hips. He intended to scold the original owner, but in the eyes of others, it was the emperor who initiated the cruelty and even scolded himself.

Feng Yuan, who was standing below, shrank his head as if he didn't hear anything. Bai Qingyu naturally heard it too. Although he was calm, there was a smile in his eyes, and he continued with what he said just now: "If a thorough investigation will involve many officials, The minister thought that he could draw up people with good character and ability from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dazongzheng Temple, etc., and temporarily form a special department to investigate the case, so that justice can be done."

Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Just do what Bai Xiang said, and take this opportunity to let the Ministry of Officials and the Yushitai review all officials, and if necessary, make an exception to promote some people with low qualifications but capable people .”

This case has been involved in many cases, and there are many high-ranking officials involved in the case.

Chaozhong hadn't entered the fresh blood for a long time, so it happened to take this opportunity to rectify and change some new people.

only……

Zhao Yu remembered something, but she didn't say anything yet, but asked Feng Yuanzhen, "What else is there for Zhifu Feng?"

Just now he saw Feng Yuanzhen was hesitating to speak, he didn't know what to say, so he just asked for him.

Feng Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "We have almost collected all kinds of physical witnesses in this case, and the rest only needs to be tried by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The minister... the minister's family members are involved, so it is inconvenient for the minister to participate in it to avoid suspicion." , Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Alright, you've been quite tired these few days, go back and rest for a few days." Zhao Yu agreed, asked him a few more words, and told him to step back when he had nothing to do.

Feng Yuan seemed to want to say something more, but he didn't say it after all, hesitantly saluted and left.

Bai Qingyu and Zhao Yu were left in the hall.

"This Feng Yuan is really interesting..." Without the outsider, Zhao Yu became more casual, and said, "Looking at the tactful and sophisticated, he also has a loyal heart. I thought he would plead for mercy."

Zhao Yu also knew about the concubine in Feng Yuanzhen's mansion. He thought he would take the opportunity to mention something, but he took the initiative to avoid suspicion.

Bai Qingyu put away the file and said: "He is not a bad character, and he has some talents. It's just that he was born as a commoner and has nothing to rely on. He has been ups and downs in the court these years, and he can't gain a foothold unless he is more tactful."

Zhao Yu nodded. Although the Jin Dynasty already had the imperial examinations, the old customs of kindness could not be overcome for a while. Most of the high-ranking officials in the court were still from aristocratic families, and there were still many restrictions on civilians being officials.

He had learned that before the Jin Dynasty, the system of grace and shade was not the norm, but at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, in order to win people's hearts, Taizu expanded the system of grace and shade.

Nowadays, officials of the seventh rank and above can submit a table to receive a salary for the next generation. The emperor can submit a table to make up for it on his birthday, and the three-year-old high priest can also make up for it. Learn to learn.

If it is a hero, it will be even more amazing. After death, more than 20 people can be enshrined. After counting so many kindnesses, more than half of the officials in the court have entered the government through grace.

It's not that Taizu didn't think of the disadvantages of this system, it's just that the government situation was unstable at that time, so it was necessary to win people's hearts with this, and it has become a practice since then.

When Zhao Yu's father first succeeded to the throne, Xi Rong and other countries repeatedly invaded. After he quelled foreign enemies, he also tried to change this system, but he was obstructed by many families. The matter was repeatedly put on hold.

Of course, it doesn't mean that those who rely on the favor of the family are all idiots, but because the talented people in the family don't bother to take this road, people like Bai Qingyu all rely on their own scientific examinations to become officials, even more like Shen He. With an official position obtained through military exploits, those who have been favored over time are mostly those incompetent children.

It’s fine if they just eat their own food and be lazy, they are still forming cliques in the court, crowding out officials from civilian backgrounds, and conniving at the outside of their children to act recklessly, but they have to restrain themselves a little under Bai Qingyu’s methods, but they can’t fundamentally Solve the problem.

Now is the time to take this opportunity to rectify.

First, get rid of a group of traitors and criminals. If they want to save their lives, they have to abandon their official positions. It is expected that those aristocratic families will not dare to say anything at this time. In addition, a group of talented young officials who lack foundation will be promoted. that is……

"Let's open Enke after this matter is settled..." Zhao Yu discussed with Bai Qingyu after deliberation, "The number of admissions can be relaxed, there is no limit to the family background, but it must be selected with real talents... En Yin On the one hand, we need to limit it, I don't believe that we can't cut off the aristocratic family's children who rely on their ancestors for generations to be rich, luxurious and lustful."

Bai Qingyu nodded: "Your Majesty has thought carefully, and I asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare as soon as possible."

He responded simply, but Zhao Yu knew that it would not be so easy to handle.

It has been a practice for many years for children of aristocratic families to rely on the favor of their ancestors to become an official. Although the timing is good now, there will be people who will object to the sudden change. Needless to say... Bai Qingyu will sing the black face in the middle.

Moreover, Zhao Yu found that in the past, Bai Qingyu would help him handle all the political affairs properly, but recently he has been guiding Zhao Yu to express his opinions more, which made him a little uncomfortable.

After all, although he is good at history, he can copy homework according to the masters, but the specific operation is different after all.

And Bai Qingyu was so reassuring about him that he couldn't help but feel guilty and self-doubt like a scumbag being trusted by a bully.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu rested his chin and sighed: "When those aristocratic families know the news, they may scold me behind my back, but I will wrong you to be scolded together with me."

"Most of these aristocratic families were also born in poverty. Their power was earned by their ancestors. Now that generations have enjoyed wealth for a hundred years, they may have long forgotten the hardships of the past..."

Bai Qingyu showed a trace of sarcasm: "The loyal ministers and generals of those days have become moths now. If their ancestors were alive, they would clean up their families."

"What's more, talented scholars from aristocratic families can still be admitted to the imperial examination. Even if they are not officials, they can still get offerings. If they are not satisfied, they don't know good and bad. The aristocratic family will be rectified sooner or later, and the minister feels that now is the best time. Your Majesty need not feel that there is anything wrong."

After hearing these, Zhao Yu also felt relieved, as long as Bai Qingyu said it was feasible, then there would be no problem.

After finishing the business, Zhao Yu was also in the mood to tease Bai Qingyu: "Qingyu, I found that you talk a lot more than before, and you were always ignorant before."

Bai Qingyu stopped, walked around the table and said, "That's because Your Majesty always saw me like a mouse seeing a cat. I'm afraid that talking too much will scare you away."

He looked serious when he said this, and it wasn't until Zhao Yu saw the smile in his eyes that he realized that Bai Qingyu was teasing him, and he heard him whisper: "What did your Majesty call your minister just now?"

Just now subconsciously called out the name in mind, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel warm in his ears, and whispered: "I call you Qingyu, is it okay?"

"Your Majesty can summon your ministers whatever you want."

"From then on, I will call you Qingyu when there is no one else." Zhao Yu curled the corners of his mouth, as satisfied as a child who got his beloved lollipop.

In the recent busy days, the two of them rarely even spend time together alone. When they meet, they are either a group of people or dealing with political affairs.

Hey, it's too difficult to be a Mingjun, he really wants to be a foolish monarch who only cares about his beauty.

Today I went to mourn a friend who had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at a young age and was not rescued. He was hospitalized because of drinking before.

His wife had just given birth to her second child for two years, and she didn't know how to live in the future. It was quite unpleasant to watch.

Really love life, maintain good living habits, for your family and yourself.
