There was no morning court today, so the ministers were sleeping soundly at home.

However, Seo Cho-in was only awakened.

Because of land prices, Xu Churen, who hasn't had a good sleep for a month, just slept well tonight, but after listening to Tang Rui's words, he became unwell again.

"Prepare the car!"

"Master, you haven't said you're safe for a month. Please sleep for a while."

Seo Chu-in's wife said worriedly.

Xu Churen is already in his seventies, but he has never heard of it for a moment. The pressure on his shoulders is greater than that of anyone except the emperor.

The economic and livelihood burden of the Song Dynasty was on his shoulders, which could be described as hard work.

He gets up before dawn every day. After getting up, he will drink a cup of strong tea, then tidy up his clothes and crowns, and then read the arguments of Saint Kong with a stick of incense.

It can be said that people like Xu Churen were typical scholars and officials in ancient China.

Cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country and pacify the world.

It’s not about being fun, but about every day’s behavior.

In fact, even though China in later generations was affected by many shocks from Europe, it still advocated the traditional concept of "cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country and pacifying the world" in terms of governing the country.

Because Chinese people believe that relying solely on the constraints of the political system is not enough. Any political system has its drawbacks. Those who govern should cultivate their minds and upright their bodies.

Seo Cho-in relieved the pressure in his heart and sat in the carriage to calm himself down.

When he went to the emperor's imperial study, he saw Tang Ke waiting outside.

Although Tang Ke looked windless and waveless, his forehead was covered with a layer of sweat during this cold weather.

The two looked at each other and nodded. Xu Churen stood beside Tang Ke, waiting honestly.

At this time, Liu Yanzong and Zhang Shuye also came.

There are also Dali Temple Minister Yao Xiping and the Minister of Justice Zhang Shaoze.

Shao Chengzhang came out of the emperor's imperial study room and bowed to the ministers and said, "My grandpa, your majesty is welcome."

The ministers bowed and then entered the emperor's imperial study.

The emperor was sobering up with tea and the candlelight in the house shone on his angular face, making a shadow, looking even more cruel.

"See Your Majesty."

Zhao Huan asked, "Grandpa Tang, have you seen it?"

Tang Ke's heart trembled and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I am recuperating in the mansion."

"Where is Zhou Zhengyan from Shangyusi?"

Shao Chengzhang said on the side: "Report to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou is not in the mansion, I have sent someone to search for it."

Not at home?

Zhao Huan put down the teacup, suddenly picked up the memorial on the table, and smashed it at Tang Ke.

The emperor raised his sword eyebrows and said angrily: "Tang Ke, how did you take care of Shangyusi for me!"

Tang Ke quickly knelt on the ground and buried his head: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"

"I think you deserve death!"

Xu Churen hurriedly came out and said, "Your Majesty calmed down. I think it is not the time to hold the responsibility accountable. This matter should be handled as soon as possible to avoid the situation from escalating."

The emperor looked gloomy and said, "What suggestions do you have?"

How could Liu Yanzong let this kind of good opportunity to consolidate the political affairs hall?

He said: "Your Majesty, I think you will immediately investigate Shangyu Shi. Anyone who colludes with the trading company will be dismissed from office at the least, and the house will be confiscated, and the house will be executed at the worst!"

Xu Churen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, no, the affairs of all craftsmen are now in full swing. If Shang Yusi is shaken, it will cause great chaos."

Liu Yanzong retorted: "What Xu Xianggong meant is that those who colluded with trading companies and poisoned the people will not be investigated?"

"Of course not, every drop of blood must be paid back! Punishment of corruption is urgent, but all the work cannot be abandoned!"

"How to punish corrupt officials will destroy all labours. It is obvious that some people are guilty of being thieves!"

Liu Yanzong just pointed directly at Xu Churen's nose and scolded him for all this. The Prime Minister ordered the people below to do it.

He is a tycoon of the Inspectorate and is affiliated with the judicial body. His task is not the income of the people or the taxes.

His mission is to kill all officials the emperor believes are corrupt officials.

Therefore, for Liu Yanzong, he ignored the impact of how many officials he killed had on the fast-moving fortifications. He only knew that the emperor hated corrupt officials very much.

If you want to vote for the emperor, even if you don’t achieve your goal, you won’t be bad.

After hearing this, Xu Churen naturally wanted to strangle Liu Yanzong to death on the spot, but he still looked calm and composed.

"Liu Yusi is slandering his true nature without any evidence. What is his intention? Could it be to alienate the king and his subjects? This is a crime of harming the country and the people!"

Killing someone to kill his heart, Xu Churen is not easy to mess with, and he blocked Liu Yanzong in one sentence.

Zhao Huan was a little impatient when he heard this and said, "Okay, back to the main business, I don't have time to listen to you arguing about these boring things! How to solve the abuse of civil servants?"

Xu Churen continued: "Your Majesty, this matter should be divided into three steps. First, we will immediately send someone to investigate the current situation of all trading companies on Gyeonggi Road. Anyone who abuses civilians will be dealt with according to the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the

Zhao Huan couldn't help but nod.

Liu Yanzong said: "Your Majesty, I think that every month there will be people from the Imperial City Department or the Inspectorate to check the fortifications in various places to supervise! If there are any unqualified people, all local officials in the Shangyu Department will be punished and investigated!"

Xu Churen immediately opposed: "Your Majesty, no, there are mixed things in various places. If something happens, blame the officials of Shangyu and the officials will cause the officials to treat the things in their hands too harshly, thereby greatly slowing down the progress!"

Even people like Xu Churen who are strict with themselves will make obvious compromises once they reach their own interests.

The progress of the fortifications is related to the amount of tasks completed by the Political Affairs Hall, which is the emperor's assessment of the Political Affairs Hall.

However, officials, especially local officials, must prevent problems and strictly investigate and deal with all omissions.

Xu Churen knew that he had to strictly demand the officials below, but for the sake of his goal, he instinctively chose to turn a blind eye. Even he himself began to subconsciously believe that this must be done, and this is the way to be an official.

Liu Yanzong said in a very sarcastic tone: "No wonder, no wonder land prices have skyrocketed, and the trading company abused civilians. It turned out that it was Xu Xianggong's indulgence!"

This is heartbreaking.

Seeing that the elderly and weak Xu Churen was so angry that he was beaten by Liu Yanzong, Zhao Huan still sat at the desk as if he was watching the show.

"Liu Yusi! You are talking nonsense! Don't use these things all day to deliberately cause trouble for the minister. Is it important to have a rich and powerful country and the people are in trouble, or is it more important to have your selfish intentions! As the imperial imperial officer of the court, not only will he not share the worries of His Majesty, but he will always be distracted from the king and minister. Where is your intention?"

Tang Ke also said at the right time: "Your Majesty, Liu Yusi is in the Song Dynasty and in the Jin Dynasty, his heart is punished!"

Relying on his judicial system to be independent of the political affairs hall, Liu Yanzong had an emperor behind his back, so he always had a strong back and would argue with the prime minister if he had nothing to do.
