Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Page 472

Not long after, a confession was placed on Zhao Ning's case.

"Censor Zhongcheng Zhan Dafang?" Zhao Ning looked at Gao Qiu.

"Yes, that's what Hu Yuzhong said."

It actually involved Yushitai, which was somewhat beyond Zhao Ning's expectations.

It seems that everyone pretended to support the imperial court on the surface and pretended to fight to the death with the gold thief all the time, but they had already made a lot of small moves in private.

This is interesting.

In this way, Zhao Ning felt that they were all acting.

All the words on the stage are well said.

"Your Majesty, do you want to arrest Zhan Dafang?"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"This……"

Gao Qiu wanted to say, I have no evidence, but I arrested Hu Yuzhong, so I can also make up a reason to arrest Zhan Dafang.

"I mean, do you have evidence to prove that Hu Yuzhong is a secret agent of the golden man?"

"No."

"Then you go and catch Zhan Dafang, how can you prove that Zhan Dafang is an elite craftsman?"

"There will always be evidence."

"What if not?

"What now?"

"Then let him go."

"Let go?"

"Of course you have to release him without evidence. This is the court's rule. Let alone you, I have to abide by it!"

"Yes!"

Rules are used to restrain everyone. If you flout the rules rashly, someone with a heart will take advantage of the loopholes.

In the end, not only could not achieve their own goals, but made the situation worse.

For example, allowing the Imperial City Secretary to place charges for people without reason will inevitably expand the power of the Imperial City Secretary, and some people will use this power to enrich their own pockets and do evil.

Even if Gao Li can't, you can't guarantee that the people under Gao Li won't.

"Go and find out if this Hu Langzhong is corrupt, whether he is using power for personal gain, there is always a way!"

"Understood!" Gao Qiu froze for a moment.

Zhao Guan's family is abiding by the rules, especially in political games.

If he doesn't obey the rules, most people will, and he will play himself to death.

That night, Hu Yuzhong was released without charge.

Hu Yuzhong returned home happily, but before his butt was hot, the people from Huangcheng Division came to the door again.

"Aren't I acquitted?"

"Someone reported you for using power for personal gain, we need to check the account!"

If there is no problem with this account today, it means that Hu Yuzhong is out of public interest.

Since it is out of public interest, then naturally there is no problem.

As long as it is out of public interest, this level of freedom of speech should still exist.

But if it is out of selfishness, that is another matter.

Before the morning court the next day, Gao Qiu sent over the summary of Hu Yuzhong's investigation last night with dark circles under his eyes.

After reading it, Zhao Ning said, "Hu Yuzhong's son has a business company that specializes in selling tea?"

"That's right, there is not only such a trading company, but the document certificate of this trading company shows that the place of registration is in Tokyo, but I sent people to the trading company bureau overnight to check, and there is no such thing."

"You mean, fake?"

"The minister may have missed it."

"What about the accounts?"

"These accounts are real. They are all genuine smuggled tea leaves! Just from May last year to March this year, 50 catties were smuggled out and sold to the Kingdom of Jin for [-] Wen per catty, a total of [-] tea leaves!"

What is the concept of one hundred thousand strings?

For example, the salary of a road repair worker is one month a month and twelve years a year.

This person will work without eating or drinking for 8333 years.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Hu Yuzhong is not the only one behind this." Gao Qiu acted as if I was a traitor and wanted to make trouble, "And..."

"And what?"

"And that Zhan Dafang is very close to Wang Ciweng."

"so what?"

"Both of them were promoted by Qin Hui."

"You mean, Qin Hui also has business?"

"Whether Qin Hui has a business minister or not, no one dares to check casually." Gao Qiu muttered.

"I know."

This incident alone is enough to show that at present, there are a large number of officials in the court, using the power in their hands, they have or are building shocking interest chains between Song and Jin.

It seems that in this morning, there will be many people who oppose the war, but some people dare not speak out.

Not long after, Zhao Ning arrived at the Chuigong Hall, and the courtiers waited for a long time, and when they saw the official Zhao's family coming, they stopped discussing one after another.

Chapter 684 A Good Show! (third change)

"Your Majesty, long live Sheng'an."

"Saint Gongan, all the gentlemen are exempt from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The officials stood in the Chuigong Hall as usual.

But today's atmosphere is a bit weird.

Because the news that Hu Yuzhong was investigated overnight has already spread.

In addition to beauties, this Tokyo also has a lot of eyeliner.

As soon as there is a disturbance, it may spread quickly, at least some bigwigs in high positions will definitely know about it.

Hu Yuzhong, a doctor in the official department, is not too big if the official says it is big, and he is not too young if he says he is young.

Being able to work as a doctor in the official department in the capital without any background, countless people will never even see it in their lifetime, let alone a high position.

But in the eyes of real bosses, or in the eyes of certain political groups, a small official doctor is just throwing stones to ask for directions.

The operation mode of political groups is very peculiar, which is closely related to the nature of politics.

What is the nature of politics?

A very important attribute of politics is uncertainty.

It is mainly manifested in the fact that people's hearts are separated by a belly, and the interests of all parties are different, resulting in irreconcilable contradictions.

Therefore, finding someone to take the blame is a must-have skill for every politician.

However, from the perspective of controlling people's hearts, if you find someone to take the blame, other subordinates will watch, and everyone is not stupid.

Therefore, some political figures who can really become big will take compensation measures when they find the blame man.

For example, if the other party loses his official position because of his words, he will use money or fame to compensate.

Of course, the most common thing is to use the future pie as compensation.

It means, you sacrifice first, it doesn’t matter if you are dismissed from office, go to the local government to practice and experience, and after the turmoil subsides, find an opportunity to be promoted again and promise important tasks.

This is very common in the Song Dynasty.

From the point of view of the top decision makers Zhao officials, they also acquiesced.

Because in politics, if you're going to really do something, you're bound to make mistakes.

Since you make a mistake, you will naturally have to accept punishment, but because everyone makes mistakes, the punishment will not be one-sided, and everyone still has a chance.

This was the basic normal state of politics in the Song Dynasty.

This is also the reason why someone is always willing to stand up at critical times.

How could Zhao Ning not know this kind of political rules?

He glanced around and said, "What do you want to play?"

Everyone looks at me and I look at you.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Shuye stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Jin army invaded Taiyuan and destroyed the peace between the two countries. My Song Dynasty should send envoys to interrogate while mobilizing troops and preparing for war!"

Zhao Ning was silent, he was waiting for others to speak.

The others followed suit, and remained silent for a while, but still no one spoke.

Zhao Ning asked, "What do other people think?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that you should not rush to deploy troops, and peace is the most important thing."

It was none other than Cai Mao who spoke.

Zhao Ning didn't expect Cai Mao to be the first to show up today, which surprised him.

Because Cai Mao is a very cautious person, he will never express his opinion rashly at the first time.

What's more, it's such a big event as the main battle and the main peace.

Even if he has opinions, he will not raise them hastily in the court.

This is very strange.

"What did Mr. Cai say?" Zhao Ning asked.

Cai Mao said: "The border trade between the two countries involves the livelihood of countless people. Wouldn't it be better if the situation could be saved through negotiation and people's jobs could be saved?"

When he said this, he immediately got the approval of many officials. They nodded and couldn't help talking.

"quiet!"

The hall was quiet again.

Zhang Shuye said: "The gold thieves have come prepared, if they negotiate peace lightly, they will be confident and greedy!"

"That's wrong!" At this time, another person stood up to speak, and this person was Zhan Dafang, Zhongcheng, the censor.

Zhan Dafang walked to the middle and said: "Your Majesty, border trade is the livelihood of millions of border people. If there is another war, the people will suffer, so we must investigate!"

As soon as he said that, people came out one after another immediately.

Liu Wangxian, the doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, said: "Your Majesty, Cai Xianggong and Zhan Yushi are right. Once a war breaks out, people will die. It would be best if it can be resolved through peace!"

"Your Majesty, after all, war is not a long-term solution. The people in the north have been weary of war for a long time, and the imperial court has been exhausted by the war. When will it be the end? If we can talk to the Jin people again, it would be best to calm things down."

Said Wang Qian, a doctor in the Ministry of War of the Privy Council.

Zhao Ning knew why Cai Mao suddenly stood up.

Either Cai Mao has a big deal, or he deliberately stood up first, and then lured this group of people out.

According to Cai Mao's behavior style, it is very likely to be the latter situation.

Cai Mao is deliberately attacking Qin Hui's followers?

This is interesting!

"Great Minister."

Zhao Ding came out: "The minister is here."
