Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

It is said that this is one of the current Zhao officials' anti-corruption efforts.

Lu Zai couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it seems that the officials are serious about anti-corruption, more serious than any other Zhao officials in the past.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Lu Zai took a few officials from the Audit Office, and soon arrived at the Zuoxuan Yamen of the Ministry of Officials.

There are four selections for the official department of the Song Dynasty.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is selected from the left, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is selected from the left, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is selected from the right, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is selected from the right.

They each take on different responsibilities.

Middle and high-level civil officials are under the management of Zuo Xuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. For example, the positions of ministers, ministers, and doctors of various ministries must go to Zuo Xuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and then submit them to the Political Affairs Hall.

The lower-level civil servants are under the control of Zuo Xuan, the minister of the Ministry of officials.

Middle and high-level military officers are under the right selection of the Ministry of Officials. For example, the champion general of Yue Fei goes to the right selection of the Ministry of Officials and reports to the Privy Council or the Military and Political Council.

The lower-level military officers are selected by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials from the right, and then submitted to the Privy Council or the Military and Political Council.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a strict division between civil and military affairs, and the personnel procedures for middle and upper-level officials and grassroots officials were also clearly distinguished.

For example, mid-level civil officials such as local magistrates and prefects follow the line selected by the Minister of Officials in the Zhengshitang.

The Six Caos of the state capital, like those who joined the army, were reported by local officials, and the servant of the Ministry of officials left to choose this line.

When Lu Zai arrived at the official office, the official office was already bustling like never before.

He was taken aback. He didn't expect so many officials to resign.

At a glance, there are nearly a hundred people, blocking the official office.

"Mo Shangshu, Auditor Lu is here, at the back door."

Mo Chou immediately ran to the back door with a smile on his face, he was here to help him solve his troubles.

"Auditor Lu, come, please go ahead."

At this time, Li Chunyou, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, was speaking in front: "I can understand the feelings of everyone wanting to resign!"

"However, everyone, don't forget, why do we read the books of sages? It is to serve the imperial court, assist the king to rule the world, and educate the people!"

"You are resigning so rashly, do you deserve His Majesty's trust in you?"

Zhu Changqing, a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Li Shilang, we have to resign just because we read the books of sages and shared the worries of the emperor?"

"Oh, how do you say that?"

Zhu Changqing said: "Nowadays, treacherous ministers are in power, all righteous people are wronged and suffer, the government is corrupt, and the world is boiling. We don't want to be with villains!"

Li Changsu, head of the household department, said: "We don't want to be in the company of villains!"

His words immediately ignited the other officials, and each of them seemed to be transformed into an envoy of justice in an instant, and their emotions immediately rushed to their heads.

There were a few people who almost didn't, and they were so moved that they wept on the spot.

Li Chunyou said: "Everyone is really upright. Your Majesty has returned to Beijing. I will make this matter clear to Your Majesty. I will never let you suffer wrongfully."

Zhou Yi, a doctor in the Ministry of War of the Privy Council, said: "Please allow us to resign!"

Li Chunyou said with emotion: "Everyone, don't be impulsive..."

The atmosphere was heating up, and Lu Zai, Mo Chou and others came.

Seeing Mo Chou coming, everyone said, "Mo Shangshu, we are here to resign."

Mo Chou muttered, "Didn't you already hand in your resignation letter before? Why are you writing endlessly?"

Everyone immediately became emotional: "Please Mo Shangshu, please allow me."

Zhu Changqing, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, jumped out again: "Mo Shangshu must approve it!"

Li Chunyou immediately said to the side: "Don't be impulsive!"

Li Chunyou said to Mo Yu again: "Mo Shangshu, these people have no place to redress their grievances. Since His Majesty is back..."

"Wait, Li Shilang, leave this matter to me." Mo Yu interrupted Li Chunyou.

He looked at Zhu Changqing and said, "Mr. Zhu, come, come, come to me."

Zhu Changqing hesitated for a moment and walked over.

"This is Auditor Lu Zailu. From today onwards, the officials who submit their resignations will be recorded by the Ministry of Officials, and the Audit Court will conduct an audit of your resignations, including personal money, fertile land, real estate, gold and silver, antique calligraphy and paintings, and their history."

As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone present changed.

Especially Zhu Changqing, who was upright just now, turned pale now.

"Come on, Zhu Langzhong, please stand here, Auditor Lu, please arrange someone to audit Zhu Langzhong."

Lu Zai said: "Don't worry, the people in the Audit Court have always been serious in their work, and they will definitely not make mistakes in the trial. Every transaction will be checked clearly."

Fry the pan!

Totally fried!

Zhou Yi, a doctor in the military department of the Privy Council, immediately reprimanded loudly: "This is distrust of us, this... this is to provoke the relationship between the monarch and his ministers!"

"Yes! We read the books of sages and sages, and we are strict with ourselves. How can we be greedy and helpless? This is because we don't trust us! This will destroy Chao Gang!"

"Don't worry, everyone. In recent years, corrupt officials have been rampant, so the court needs to resign officials for auditing. This is to prevent corrupt officials, not against you."

Mo Chou was worthy of being a number one scholar, and his mind was spinning quickly: "I naturally believe that you are upright and honest. Since you are all upright officials, why worry about the audit by the Audit Court?"

Zhou Yi still wanted to speak: "This..."

"Could it be that Zhou Langzhong is afraid that the Audit Court will find out some shady activities?"

What Mo Choo is best at is to immediately raise the issue to the moral level.

Last night, when Zhao Ning submitted his resignation letter for audit, he said on the spot that anyone who disagreed would have a ghost in his heart.

Zhou Yi immediately had nothing to say.

Others have nothing to say.

Zhou Yi frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have a lot of business to deal with today, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time."

Seeing this posture, the others immediately said: "Yes, there are still a lot of official business to deal with, so I will take my leave."

Even Zhu Changqing ran away, and the bureaucracy soon became empty.

When this matter reached Zhao Ning's ears, Zhao Ning smiled.

If you say you resign, you will resign, and if you say you will not resign, you will not resign?

Zhao Ning said: "Doesn't the Ministry of Officials have a list? All officials on the list will start the audit, and they will be directly notified to cooperate without asking for their consent."

"Those who do not cooperate will be regarded as fighting against the imperial court!"

Chapter 306 Qin Hui's Political Ambition (Part [-])

Zhao Ning has always believed that the commanding heights of morality are full of idiots.

People who really do practical things are thinking all day about how to solve problems, straighten out problems, rebuild rules and procedures, and make the situation better.

And a truly moral person uses morality to restrain himself more, and is lenient to others in their daily behavior.

Even if it is moralized, it will not stand on the commanding heights to suppress others, but it will be more emotional and reasonable.

But people like the Great Song Dynasty are really just nests after nests.

Speaking of the formation of these broken things in the Song Dynasty, it is absolutely inseparable from one person.

Who?

Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

In the early days of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, some unexpected events occurred. Emperor Taizu, who was full of martial virtue and stable character, died suddenly.

Taizong Zhao Guangyi, who was in power, had never really fought a war, nor had any outstanding political achievements, but he felt good about himself.

The success of the old Zhao family was achieved by Zhao Kuangyin at Chai Rong's place, with real knives and spears.

When Zhao Kuangyin talked about the value of personal force, I am afraid that among the emperors of China, he said that he was second, and there is a high probability that no one would dare to say that he was number one.

A watermelon knife can cut from the north of Bianjing to the south of the city.

But it happened that Zhao Guangyi, who had been honored by his elder brother, came to power.

Zhao Guangyi himself is a scholar, a master of learning, relying on his elder brother, and belongs to the category of heaven's favored son.

As a result, after this guy came to power, he accompanied all the founding elites, famous generals fell one after another, the Liao Kingdom was overjoyed, and the strong Song Dynasty became weaker.

After Yongxi's Northern Expedition, the grand strategy of the Southern Expedition and the Northern War in the early days of the founding of the Song Dynasty was forced to become "inner defense".

Unable to stretch out, Da Song began to roll up.

Zhao Guangyi himself did not have much prestige in the army. Yongxi personally commanded the Northern Expedition. After the fight was a mess, he became even more afraid of the soldiers, so he started the faint trick of subduing the army.

Qiandi Zhijun has been handed down to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, which means that the highest generals and commanders are the emperor's followers, and they don't need to know how to fight. Those who really know how to fight must listen to them.

For example, Zhongshi must listen to Tong Guan, listen to Tong Gonggong when he was fighting Liao, and play the "non-violent resistance" policy.

Zhao Guangyi's series of coquettish operations led to the long-term suppression of warriors and the promotion of civil servants on a large scale.

The bloated civil servants in the Song Dynasty were caused by Zhao Guangyi and Yongxi's Northern Expedition and the internal defense.

In order to curry favor with civil servants, if the scale of civil servants is large and the organization becomes bloated, it is easy to blame each other, do not work, do not do things, and talk about it every day.

The number one secret to talking loudly is to quickly climb to the moral high ground, put aside facts and logic at every turn, and just open your mouth.

As early as the Renzong period, the Qingli reform implemented by Fan Zhongyan and others was to rectify the exaggerated and bloated bureaucracy.

But Qingli revolution was stillborn.

Later, Shenzong's Yuanfeng reform and Wang Anshi's reform actually wanted to solve the stubborn disease of the Song Dynasty.

After all, these people not only do nothing, but also get high salaries, hinder those who do things, and ruin the overall atmosphere.

The most important thing is that they are insatiable greedy, annexing land and plundering people's wealth.

And this group has a characteristic: they are extremely good at disguising.

If you want to lay off employees directly, you may be deceived by some people's disguise and lay off those who are willing to do things.

Chongzhen was deceived in this way when he was purging the eunuch party, and many people who worked in affairs were killed.

Therefore, the knife must be cut with a knife.

For example, this time, aren't these guys going to resign?

come!

quit!

Whoever refuses is a dog!

At noon, the Ministry of Officials sent the list of officials who submitted their resignations last time to the Audit Court.

Started the process!

In order to better allow the resignation officials to cooperate with the audit work, Zhao Ning specially ordered someone to accompany some "military" personnel to the audit institute.

It's the kind of reckless man who can kill three or four civil servants with a single slap.

The first one is to go to Zhu Changqing, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry.

At first Zhu Changqing resisted, was detained on the spot, forcibly dragged out, and charged with resisting the imperial court, so he became honest.

The audit work of the first day ended in the evening.

Zhu Changqing, a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, has [-] guan in cash and some antique calligraphy and paintings at home. He has a house in the outer city worth [-] guan, and he still has a thousand mu of land in his hands.

Falsified the household registration of the land, and paid tax according to one out of ten.

More than half of the [-] guan in cash came from smuggling salt and tea.

According to the process, once a problem occurs in the audit, the task of the judicial office will be triggered immediately.

So, a piece of material was thrown to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and then into Qin Hui's hands.

On August [-]th, in the evening, Qin Hui was working overtime.

"Qin Shangshu, look, this is just sent by the audit office." Wang Ciweng, a doctor in the Ministry of punishment, submitted some documents.

Qin Hui didn't raise his head, but asked, "What about it?"
