Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

On the evening of November 21, the news reached the Qin residence.

"What did you say!" Wang Shi was taken aback, "You said Xi'er was arrested?"

"Yes, ma'am." Wang Boyan said hastily.

"what happened?"

"The yamen went to find those big food merchants today."

"That's right, he was the one looking for it."

"There was a small problem. Those big cannibals heard that they injured someone and caused a lawsuit. The yamen took care of it privately. This matter was followed by the people of the Imperial City Division."

"For such a small matter, the Secretary of the Imperial City arrested him?" Wang was shocked.

"I've inquired about it, and it was Gao Li who personally went out to arrest him!"

"Gao Qiu is crazy!" Wang's face darkened, "Is he going to fight us to the death or not?"

"Don't worry, ma'am. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Now even those big cannibals have been arrested. You must know that they were summoned to Beijing by His Majesty. Gao Qiu dared to move them, which means that His Majesty must know the situation."

"Your Majesty knows that we went to find those big cannibals in advance?"

"I probably know it, but the business hasn't been discussed yet, so it's justified to say that it's entertaining Song's guests. I'm afraid Gao Qiu will find out something during the interrogation."

Mrs. Wang walked back and forth, she said: "What will happen if Your Majesty knows that we want to do business with those big cannibals in private?"

"Judging from Qin Xianggong's political achievements in the court, His Majesty will not be cruel because of this incident. After all, this incident did not cause much harm. His Majesty is still very sympathetic to courtiers who have made contributions."

Wang Boyan's words were right.

During these years of restructuring, the New Deal faction has offended many people.

Zhao Ning is not stingy with rewarding and promoting anyone with political achievements.

I will never kill a donkey easily.

People's hearts are very sensitive, and the situation of the great unification has not been completed, and it starts to kill donkeys. What a stupid person can do that.

For the core team, Zhao Ning will definitely give enough affection to unite people's hearts.

"Then this time?"

"The official position cannot be kept, and some people may be involved." Wang Boyan said, "But it doesn't matter, Qin Xianggong's New Deal on Jiangnan West Road is coming to an end. Hold your feet."

"what chance?"

"In the past few days, the capital has investigated the properties of foreign relatives. Many of the properties of foreign relatives have been investigated. Concubine Shen De's natal family has also been investigated. I heard that three houses were investigated the day before yesterday, and Zhu Zhongwen was close to going bankrupt overnight. Xiaguan also visited him yesterday."

"Why visit him?"

"His daughter Concubine Shen De gave birth to the third prince, and the third prince is now six years old."

Mrs. Wang immediately understood, and said, "We're not trying to support Kang..."

"Eggs can't be put in the same basket. In other words, win over Concubine Shen De and the third prince to save us enough chips."

"How to win over?"

"Zhu Zhongwen is most short of money right now, so let's give him a sum of money to buy land outside the city, help him make a comeback, and then let him match Concubine Shen De."

November 23, early morning.

When Zhao Guan's family arrived at the Chui Gong Hall, the ministers had already been waiting in the Chui Gong Hall, discussing something.

When Zhao Guan's house arrived, the officials gradually calmed down.

After the ceremony, it was quiet as usual.

Zhao Ning asked: "Do you have something to play?"

The crowd remained silent.

After a while, Cai Mao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do."

"But it doesn't matter."

Cai Mao said: "I heard that several big food merchants came to the capital the day before yesterday, and they were summoned by His Majesty, but at this time they are waiting for interrogation in Kaifeng mansion. This fact is not right."

"What's wrong?"

"Since the person was summoned by His Majesty, but now he has faced a lawsuit in the capital, if this spreads, it will affect the reputation of the imperial court."

The officials discussed it, and obviously they all knew about it.

This seems absurd to some people.

"What's the impact?"

"This……"

"I only saw some officials, and went to meet them in person with a straight face!" Zhao Ning's face immediately turned ugly, "A few big cannibals made my officials of the Song Dynasty so stubborn!"

There was a dead silence below.

Cai Mao said, "Your Majesty, the imperial court still wants to do business with them. If this matter spreads to the southern waters, it may cause dissatisfaction among many people. It is not a wise move."

"Then what do you say?" Zhao Ning said with a cold face.

"Release people, send people to the embassy street, settle down, listen to the announcement, let the other party feel that my Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette."

Zhao Ning slapped the table angrily and stood up abruptly.

Cai Mao was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I am starting from the interests of Song Dynasty."

Zhao Ning's face was still gloomy: "I know you are starting from the interests of Song Dynasty!"

"That's what His Majesty should do."

"If ordinary people hurt someone, how should we deal with it?"

"Either keep it private, or go to court."

"Since that's the case, why did the big cannibal come to my Song Dynasty to be a maverick?" Zhao Guanjia asked.

Cai Mao continued: "Because the imperial court wants to do business with them, and doing business with them can make money quickly and enrich the treasury."

Other ministers also stood up.

"Your Majesty, Cai Xianggong is right. This matter really cannot be handled according to the routine."

"Your Majesty, please release those big cannibals immediately, and arrange officials from the Ministry of Rites to receive them."

"My Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette. Since we want to do business with people, we can't force them so much. The ministers also feel that this matter can be turned into a big thing and a small thing. There is no need to do so."

"..."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Ning replied on the spot, "If we let it go this time and don't deal with it according to the law, after that, those foreign businessmen who came to Song Dynasty to do business in Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Qinzhou , violated the law all over the coast, so what?"

"This……"

Everyone didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Is it because the officials in those places are acting like this time, taking into account the overall situation of business and trade, and let it go?"

Everyone was speechless again.

Zhao Ning continued: "If all the immediate interests are considered and the laws are not enforced, and officials from all over the country follow suit, then the foreign businessmen who came to the Song Dynasty will become masters who do not obey the laws of the Song Dynasty!"

The officials were momentarily speechless.

"My dynasty is full of treasures and treasures, rich in the world, with tens of thousands of people, all the soldiers are brave, and the people are all hardworking. Why do you support mere Fanbang for this!" Zhao Guan's temper was obviously coming, and his tone was as sharp as a sword. Such absurd words, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!"

Chapter 944 Weak Qin (Part [-])

There was a dead silence in the hall.

After a while, Cai Mao continued: "Then how does His Majesty plan to deal with those big cannibals you summoned?"

Cai Mao said this very insidiously.

He was telling Zhao Ning that the person was summoned by your official Zhao family, and the court has already decided to do business, and now you have to deal with him.

Not to mention the matter of buying and selling, it's hard to get over it on the face of human beings!

"This matter should not be judged by me. How should the people of the Song Dynasty deal with people who hurt people, then how to deal with it." Zhao Ning said, "This matter has been specially brought to the court for discussion, and it is already a problem for everyone present There is no need to waste your time, and there is no need to waste my time, otherwise, what is the use of opening the government office!"

Some ministers thought in their hearts: Zhao Guan's family is really stubborn, for a mere civil dispute, the millions of coins in front of them are gone!

The emperor was furious, and no one dared to say any more.

For some reason, today, Cai Mao and Cai Xianggong are extraordinarily brave.

After a moment of silence, Cai Mao continued: "Your Majesty will deal with those big cannibals according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. I have nothing to say."

After saying this, he changed the subject and said, "I heard that court officials are involved in this matter, how will His Majesty deal with it?"

Gao Qiu in the crowd glanced at Cai Mao, and cursed in his heart: "Old fox!

Zhao Guanjia said: "How do you think you should deal with it?"

"I don't know much about this case, so I don't dare to make a conclusion." Cai Mao said, "Since Your Majesty insists on using the law to deal with the big cannibals, the officials involved should naturally be dealt with according to the court guidelines and laws, and must not Partiality, this is the superficial view of the minister."

"Captain Gao."

"The minister is here."

"Tell me about the situation."

Gao Qiu said: "Qin Xi, the official doctor, and Li Mi, the inspector of the Tokyo Army, used their power to seek personal gain and cover up the prisoner after the cannibalism and wounding. They have already confessed. use."

It's not a secret anymore, it was already spread last night.

Gao Qiu knew that Cai Mao was pretending to be stupid, and he just wanted Gao Qiu to tell the story in public.

Gao Qiu is also very cooperative.

In the main hall, everyone knew that Qin Xi had screwed up, but they were still very cooperatively shocked and angry when they heard Gao Qiu's statement.

Everyone in the hall started talking.

After a while, it became quiet.

The current situation is that Qin Xun was erected, Gao Qiu was in charge of adding firewood, and Cai Mao was in charge of lighting the fire.

The one who was really going to be burned was Qin Xi, the doctor of the official department, who was stuck in a key position in the official department, secretly, but Qin Hui got a lot of people to come up.

Cai Mao said: "Dare to ask, why did Qin Xi suddenly appear, and why did he cover up criminals?"

Wang Boyan on the side has already realized that Cai Mao wants to give Qin Xi a hard blow.

Qin Yu's sudden appearance could be considered a coincidence, and this matter can be resolved.

But after appearing, what is the motive for shielding criminals?

Covering criminals is at most using power for personal gain, which is considered a mistake.

But what is the motivation behind it?

Cai Mao is going to dig deeper.

Gao Qiu said: "According to the confession of the main culprit, Qin Xi, he wants to do some business with the cannibal."

As soon as Gao Qiu said this, the hall began to discuss again, and some people even began to criticize and scold Qin Xi for his shameless behavior.

Because we all know that the big cannibal was summoned by the imperial court to do business with the imperial court.

Qin Xi's behavior of intercepting people first and making a deal secretly is competing with the imperial court for business and is in violation of the "Regulations on the Administration of Officials of the Great Song Dynasty".

This is much more than the crime of covering up the prisoner just now.

Qin Hui's people begged for mercy and worked hard to protect the prisoner just now. In view of Qin Hui's face, the chief executives of the political affairs hall will not go too far. Qin Hui will be demoted at most.

But the matter of grabbing business with the imperial court is intriguing.

"This, this... this is breaking the rules!" Mo Chou, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, jumped out, "Your Majesty, this is a very serious matter, and it is embezzling the state's wealth!"

Zhao Ning waved his hand and said, "How do the chief executives think this matter should be handled?"

Lu Yihao immediately came out and said: "I feel that Qin Xi should be dismissed, never hired, and imprisoned for three years."

Cai Mao said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Qian Yuqing came out and said, "I think it's enough to demote the official."

Zhao Ding came out and said: "I think it's enough to demote the official."

Zhao Ning thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhao, let's deal with this matter. I don't want to ask any more questions."
