Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"A big case! A shocking case!"

In the Royal Bank, with the death of a Jew, a shocking case shocked the entire city of Kaifeng.

Without him! Fan Zheng had just arranged for these Jews to enter the Royal Bank, and their purpose was to supervise the operation of the Royal Bank. However, one of the most elite Jews died suddenly. Although the cause of death was normal, Fan Zheng immediately realized that something was wrong.

"It's impossible, Freiberg... It's impossible for Li Frei to die suddenly," the Jewish old man Aimich said with a solemn face. Although he knew that Fan Zheng's request would not be so easy to fulfill, he did not expect that they would just start. Loss of a loved one.

Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will seek justice for Li Frei."

Amyche said solemnly: "If Mr. Fan can't guarantee our safety, I'm afraid this deal will end here. After all, Ding Xishao and I can't afford the consumption."

Circumcision was prevalent among the Jews and the number of male offspring was low, so the matrilineal line took the lead. This group of Jews was even more sparse. If they were to be involved in the court battles of the Song Dynasty, they would probably be in trouble if they did not wait for the grand event promised by Fan Zheng. Disappear soon.

"Don't worry, I will strengthen your personal safety protection."

At that moment, Fan Zheng immediately ordered the security of the Royal Bank to focus on protecting this group of Jews, and at the same time organized a large number of manpower to conduct a thorough investigation.

As the investigation deepened, Fan Zheng found that there were many problems.

First of all, there were many obstacles when investigating the case. Countless dignitaries secretly asked people to intercede for mercy, so that Fan Zheng gave up the investigation, and even secretly prepared a generous pension for the deceased Livery. The huge amount made everyone excited.

Fan Zheng was unmoved at all and finally uncovered this major case.

"Corruption worth tens of thousands of dollars!"

When the truth came to light, everyone gasped.

No wonder people in the dark take desperate risks, and dozens of officials are involved, with the largest official being a third-grade official.

As soon as the case came out, it immediately caused an uproar. The massive amount of corruption could be said to be the largest corruption case since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and it immediately caused an uproar among the government and the public.

In the Chui Gong Hall, Fan Zhengman reported the case to all the officials. The shocking scenes of corruption shocked all the officials.

"This is absolutely crazy!" Zhao Xu said angrily.

This case was simply beyond his imagination and frightened him.

"The officials calm down!"

The ministers advised him one after another.

Zhao Xu snorted coldly: "No wonder Fan Zheng insisted on using Jews. In this case, the officials protected each other thoroughly. Otherwise, how could the loopholes of millions of dollars be covered up."

The Royal Bank is in charge of tens of millions of money, so the Song Dynasty court is naturally worried about it. The usual supervision is also very strict. However, there are still so many corruption problems, many of which are protected by officials as Fan Zheng said before. If it weren't for these Jews appears, I am afraid that the Royal Bank will be in turmoil in the future.

The Royal Bank is related to Zhao Xu's great cause of unifying the world, and it is also the money bag for his reforms, so there is no room for loss.

"I am panicking!" The officials' expressions changed and they quickly apologized.

Fan Zheng said angrily: "These officials are not only seeking wealth but also killing their lives. It is because this Jew Li Frey discovered the problem and was unwilling to accept his bribes, so they disregarded human life and asked the officials to severely punish him."

The Royal Bank controls too much money, and too many people are eyeing this cornucopia. If a group of them are not severely punished, there will be endless troubles.

"Of course we must be severely punished!" Zhao Xu smiled coldly and waved his hand: "Pass the decree and punish all these corrupt officials!"

In a rage, Zhao Xu made a decision that surprised everyone.

"behead!"

Suddenly all the officials were shocked! Looking at Zhao Xu in disbelief, no one expected Fan Zheng to be so radical.

"Officials are not allowed! Since ancient times, officials have not been punished. Our ancestors and the scholar-officials jointly rule the world, and there has never been any move to kill the scholar-officials." Lu Dafang was the first to object.

Lu Dafang was conservative in his thinking and respected the laws of his ancestors the most. Not to mention that the Song Dynasty adhered to co-ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, which was the source of his power as prime minister. Naturally, he had to try his best to protect the interests of the nurse-bureaucrats. Moreover, if the emperor killed the scholar-bureaucrats, he would probably Caused panic among officials all over the world.

"You can't kill him. Corruption of millions of dollars is the biggest case since the founding of the Song Dynasty. With such a bad nature, can't he be killed?" Zhao Xu asked rhetorically.

If it was an official's mistake or other problems, Zhao Xu might not be so angry. However, the corruption involved so much that in the previous dynasty, it would have been more than enough to wipe out the three tribes. However, he just ordered the execution of the chief culprit and let him It aroused opposition from hundreds of officials.

Zhang Dun echoed: "I agree with Lu Xianggong's words. The most severe punishment our government can impose on scholar-bureaucrats is to be sent to Lingnan. From the perspective of humble ministers, just send these criminal officials to Lingnan!"

Zhao Xu frowned. He did not expect that Zhang Dun, who had always supported him, would also oppose the killing of this criminal.

Zhang Dun was also the beneficiary of being punished for not being a doctor. He was once exiled to Lingnan, and finally had the chance to recover. If the court killed the scholar-officials, he might not be able to wait until today.

What's more, most of the criminals found out from the Royal Bank were members of the New Party. The New Party was already losing its talents, so Zhang Dun naturally tried his best to protect it.

Su Song couldn't help but sigh: "There is no precedent for killing so many scholar-bureaucrats in our dynasty. Please ask the officials to take back the order."

As a medical party member, Su Song hated these corrupt officials, but he also knew that killing scholar-bureaucrats was a precedent. The three parties in the court were working hard. Once the method of killing was applied to the party struggle, the entire court would be filled with blood, causing The consequences are far more serious than punishing a corrupt person.

All of a sudden, the three prime ministers of the dynasty all opposed Zhao Xu's use of heavy codes to rectify the administration of officials.

Zhao Xu coldly snorted: "I am not good at court because the law is not strict and I am too generous to the scholar-bureaucrats. I will not be severely punished for making mistakes. This has led to the continuous corruption of officials. Since I can't kill one person to make an example to others, what do you think?" Put an end to official corruption.”

Lu Dafang cupped his hands and said: "From the perspective of the veteran officials, officials appoint people on their merits and attach great importance to people with high moral standards. The country will be peaceful and the people are safe, and the officials will be able to govern in a clear and bright manner."

Fan Zheng retorted: "Before they were discovered, these corrupt officials were all clean-sleeved and upright, and many of them were prominent figures in Kaifeng City."

"Then strengthen supervision and make timely corrections. I believe that corruption will have no way to hide." Zhang Dun suggested.

Immediate replenishment was Fan Zheng's secret method. When the New Party implemented the system of sharing labor and entering the land, the effect was excellent and it was highly praised by Zhang Dun.

Zhao Xu shook his head and said: "The redundant officials in the Song Dynasty are already very serious. If we send people to supervise them, I am afraid that the redundant officials will be even worse. This strategy is not advisable."

With the death of Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu no longer had any worries. In addition, the Royal Bank exposed that the problem of mutual protection between officials was too serious, and wanted to use heavy codes to rectify the official administration of the Song Dynasty.

However, even those who punished extremely corrupt officials still found strong opposition from the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, which further aroused Zhao Xu's rebellious psychology.

In addition, Zhao Xu is no longer a puppet emperor with no real power, but has grown into a generation of heroes. Naturally, he will not change his ambition easily. For a while, the court fell into a deadlock!

Until the next dynasty, this dispute never ended, but was temporarily shelved. The relationship between the emperor and his ministers was extremely tense.
