The Song Dynasty was very strange. Although the power of the prime minister was greatly restrained and could not be authoritarian, the prime minister was very strong in terms of spiritual core. This kind of strong confidence did not come from their position or power, but from the ancestral system of Zhao Song. He did not be punished for his words or killed scholars.

When Wen Yanbo arrived, Wen Yanbo simply said that the king and the scholars and officials ruled the world together.

The status of the generals and scholars was summarized in a subtle way. The emperors of Zhao Song also accepted it and were willing to give civil servants such a high position. Even if they supported them at a high price, even if they liked to embezzle and accept bribes, they would at least not rebel!

With a spiritual core, the literati and officials of course began to become arrogant.

However, Xu Churen's behavior this time has shown that his spiritual core has collapsed. He knew that the new policy was implemented too quickly and too fiercely, which triggered the rebound of the two Central Plains, but he had to speak out, as the emperor wanted.

What is this telling? And Tang Ke, the Eastern Palace will absolutely implement the emperor's decrees in the future, stand on the same front as the emperor, and resolutely implement the emperor's thoughts to the officials below.

After hearing Xu Churen's answer, Zhao Huan was very satisfied. If anyone dared to say that there was something wrong with the new policy today, he would have to go out with his head on his back.

Zhao Huan asked the others again, and everyone said that it was the officials on Jingdong Road and Jingxi Road who were corrupt and abused the law and acted improperly, and they were plotting for rebellion!

Zhao Huan naturally knew that Xu Churen was not thinking like this. He didn't care why Xu Churen thought about it. He wanted Xu Churen to set an example. Xu Churen's words and deeds greatly affected the officials below.

Zhao Huan knew one thing deeply that a person could not quickly influence or change the ideas of others in a short period of time, but he could use some means to change their words and deeds, starting with words and deeds. At least if the words and deeds are unified, it can reduce many internal obstacles.

All the ministers all had a doubt in their hearts, why did the Supreme Emperor appear at this time?

Zhao Huan said: "You are right. They are all traitors. You should eliminate them. What kind of army to serve the king and clear the king's side! Bullshit! Wanyan Zong hopes that the troops are coming to the city of Tokyo, why can't Xinyang Army and Huaiyang Army appear?"

Li Gang hurriedly stepped out: "Your Majesty forgives your crimes, but I am incompetent. I did not handle it safely when I reformed the military system."

Zhao Huan waved his hand: "Li Qing, this matter has nothing to do with you. I think you and Zhong Shidao have done a good job in the proposal of the Privy Council to reform the military system! The actual number of Xinyang Army and Huaiyang Army is only 20,000, and they are shameless and report 100,000 to the court! It's so shameless! I've long wanted to cut them down! I really think my money is not money!"

Li Gang and Zhong Shidao had long guessed that the emperor returned from the Northern Expedition and only brought back the new army. The intention was already very obvious. Weakening the imperial guards around the capital and strengthening the new army can be said to be to build a new imperial guard for the Song Dynasty!

In addition to the issues of taxes and corvee service, the two routes rebelled at the same time, of course, there is also the issue of military system reform. Otherwise, how could the Huaiyang Army and Xinyang Army be influenced by local administrative officials and landlord forces in the two routes?

As early as a month ago, the Privy Council issued an order to cut off the imperial guards, and the first ones were the Huaiyang Army and the Xinyang Army. The problems of imperial guards in these two places are the most serious, and the most people are receiving air wages.

It is also the emperor's intention to directly and drastically simplify the government. The emperor is not just about restructuring. He obviously deliberately angered these local forces and asked the other party to take action first. The emperor had a legitimate excuse, and with the power in his hands, he captured them all and pulled them out of the roots.

Zhao Huan said again: "Why? Come and tell me, who do they say to clear the king and the king's army to clear the king? And whose king is to diligent?"

Why? He was slightly stunned and started sweating behind his back. The emperor asked such a question in person, didn’t he force him to die?

Who can you clear the king's side? You must be a supporter of the Fresh Policy, who can you keep the king? You must not be the emperor, you can only be the Supreme Emperor.

As soon as Zhao Huan asked about this question, the scene immediately fell into freezing point. The ministers finally knew why the emperor had found the Supreme Emperor.

The style of this official doing business is really unique. When the Emperor of the Song Dynasty encountered problems, he might avoid these problems, or divert them, or cover them up. However, this official was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, the situation would be calm, and the situation would not be a problem!

The emperor usually faces the problem directly and then crushes the problem directly in a way that no minister can imagine. As long as the problem can be solved, the emperor doesn't care how many people die.

Why? I feel like meat on a chopping board. I have a lot of thoughts in an instant, and then I make up my mind: "Rebels and traitors are clear about the lords, and we must be clear about the ministers who support Your Majesty's new policy. I want to support Your Majesty ascend the throne."

As soon as he said this, the entire hall fell into a silence, and only the sound of the emperor pouring tea was clearly heard.

Zhao Ji's face became very ugly. What? The words were very direct. Even the layer of gauze of the monarch and ministers was torn apart, directly indicating that he wanted to stand on Zhao Huan's side. Zhao Huan's tyrants were completely separated from Zhao Ji. As for those fools who gathered troops to rebel, let them go to serve the king. They were just those who only knew how to drink and pick up girls all day long, and they learned to rebel. They were really laughing.

Looking at the strong murderous aura between the emperor's eyebrows, the prime ministers all felt that the emperor was going to start a massacre this time!

Zhao Ji finally understood why his son suddenly brought him here, and summoned important officials from the two prefectures and the emperor's new favorite officials.

The emperor is demonstrating to him and forcing the prime ministers to take sides. If anyone answers the emperor, he slightly belittles the new policy, prefers the Supreme Emperor or speaks from the traitor, his head will move today.

As long as the emperor gives the order, the imperial guards at the door will rush in, and the prime ministers will be killed like chickens and ducks.

Zhao Huan glanced at the ministers: "From today on, you all open your eyes to me and take a closer look. Who dares to write a letter to say that the new policy is unfavorable and threaten the court to make compromises. Whether the memorials are in the two palaces or the Hanlin Academy, they will be counted for me and all will be sent to death. What I want are officials who serve the country and the people. What I want are officials who can rescue the people from being harsh and fierce than tigers. What I want is an army that can protect the country and protect the people. Those who exploit the people and only know how to drink and cause trouble all day long, I don't mind killing them all! Also, what a bullshit army to serve the king! There is no two days, no two lords in the country, I am the emperor, there is only one emperor in the world!"

All the ministers said, "Abide by the order!"

The last illusion of the Zhengshi Hall for the Supreme Emperor was completely shattered. Xu Churen, Tang Ke and what? The three of them went from their hearts to their silence to their silence. If the Zhengshi Hall does not support the emperor in eliminating officials, they may even be eliminated.

It is said that the emperor killed several prime ministers in the Zhengshi Hall, but no one of them came in. The meaning is already very obvious. He was very dissatisfied with the administrative management of the Zhengshi Hall. In the matter of cutting redundant officials, the Zhengshi Hall not only did not implement the emperor's orders, but also privately obstructed them.

Needless to think, many officials are writing memorials and presenting them to the two palaces, some to the Hanlin Academy, and those with courage are presented to the emperor.

According to the emperor's wishes, anyone who dares to suggest that the court compromise in the memorials will be rebels and will be sent to death row.

As Zhao Huan said, the Political Affairs Hall soon received dozens of memorials.
Chapter completed!
