In the past few days, people in Tokyo have discovered that the Song Dynasty diary seems to have begun to become popular in the official world. In the past, they were all aimed at nobles, officials, officials, and so on. Civilians rarely see diary, and even literate civilians are difficult to see.

But these days, the number of newspapers has increased significantly, and those who pay attention to the observation can see that a new store called Tokyo Newspaper has been opened everywhere in Tokyo, and the printed newspapers have been stored in it.

In early June, the leaves on the roadside have already become lush and dotted by the lake, which is very elegant.

Several children in their teenage clothes, one of whom was holding a stack of newspapers in his hand, scattered and began to sell: "Read the newspaper! Read the newspaper! The Censorate impeached the prince. King Su was confined for the grain transport case, and King Su was confined for the grain transport case, waiting for trial by the Inspectorate!"

"Huh? What is this inspector's office? Why have I never heard of me, the Song Dynasty, have such an yamen?"

An official walking on the street was curiously called a newspaper boy and bought a newspaper newspaper.

A young official next to him said, "Don't the Inspectorate know? The Xingsi Office, which had just been established in the short term, is said to be specializing in interrogating officials from the princes and prime ministers to the ninth rank."

"What do you mean is that King Su was arrested by the Inspectorate?"

"The Great Song Dynasty Palace Newspaper was sent to the Zuoyuan. Can the things on it still be fake?"

For a time, the hot discussion in Tokyo was naturally the incident of King Su, and the punishment was not enough for the doctor. This was the rule of the Song Dynasty, let alone the prince, which was the dragon-headed guillotine given to Bao Zheng during the Renzong period. Although it was dedicated to killing the royal relatives, it was just a matter of the officials of the Song Dynasty to save face.

But now this official family is different. The thousand heads fell to the ground as soon as they fell to the ground, and the blood was still outside the Five Dynasties. King Su was also in trouble. I wonder what the Inspectorate will deal with it next.

The teahouses and alleys in Tokyo City are full of people talking about this matter.

"The emperor violated the law and was punished by common people! King Su should kill him! He serves as a warning to others!"

"King Su is the prince, the brother of the emperor of the dynasty, and is confined at most."

"I don't think so. Prince Su's mansion has been cleared. I heard that Liu Yanzong, the first imperial officer of the Inspectorate, was a person who did not recognize his relatives. He used to be an official in the Liao and Jin dynasties. After being captured by the emperor, the emperor loved talents. This time he appointed him as the Imperial Office of the Inspectorate, and specifically interrogated the royal relatives and officials of all sizes."

“…”

The interested person seemed to smell a dangerous atmosphere. Why did the emperor let a person who had just surrendered from the enemy country to try this matter? The private interest groups began to think about it. It seemed that a new noble in the Song Dynasty was rising and he would be able to curse himself in the future.

But smart people have come to the conclusion that the emperor wanted to let a person who was not well-founded in the Song Dynasty take over the position of the Imperial Secretariat and cooperate with the Imperial City Secretariat and the Censorate to specifically manage the problems of officials.

Just say that the level of the Inspectorate and the Censorate are one level lower than that of the two governments, and their chiefs are naturally one level lower than that of the ministers of the two governments. However, they have the power to pick up officials and file cases for the emperor. Even officials under the sixth rank can be executed as long as they have been signed by the Imperial City Department and the Inspectorate.

Some people in later generations said this when analyzing the famous inspector's office established during the Jingkang period. The Imperial City Office was the emperor's minions and violence at home and abroad. However, the inspector's office was the emperor's supreme judgment department, and it focused on open trials. The purpose of open trials was to give an explanation to the people.

In fact, the charges of some officials have long been concluded under the "interrogation" of the Imperial City Department. The Imperial Department of the Inspectorate is more like a show department. Of course, it is indeed granted real power.

Early this morning, the Censorate listed more than a dozen charges and put them on King Su, such as bullying fertile land and indulging his subordinates to kill people. The most serious thing is tax evasion!

When it comes to tax evasion, many ministers in the court felt nervous.

The land policy of the Song Dynasty was the most relaxed in the entire feudal era in China. After more than a hundred years of development, land annexation had reached an uncontrollable level, and 3% of the country controlled 85% of the land.

If this continues, the explosive barrel will explode.

This problem was thrown out by He Ye today, and the specific tax amount had been collected by the Imperial City Department, which actually reached 100,000 coins!

Liu Yanzong said righteously in the court again: "I raised my head to report to Your Majesty, King Su encroached on the land, intending to poison the country, distort the country's foundation, and causing the people to resent. I think this is a contempt for the emperor and a slander for the ancestral temple, and his heart is punished!"

When the other scholars and officials in the court heard this, their hearts trembled.

Regarding this land annexation, would you ask if the scholar-official in the court did not?

The Song Dynasty treated the scholars and officials with preferential treatment, and the monthly salary was endless. Some scholars and officials naturally had the most basic knowledge of financial management. In the more than a hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, many people have used their power to purchase land, swallowed up large amounts of fertile land, rented it to farmers, collected taxes, and then paid to the state.

Now the emperor has made a statement. After the corvee service is abolished, the tax will be abolished. Once the tax is abolished and taxes are simply withdrawn, the landlord will naturally be the ones who are hurt.

So, as soon as the wind came out, the seemingly calm court was actually undercurrents, and I don’t know how many officials were going to cause trouble.

The emperor wants to be an enemy of the landlords in the world!

The issue of taxation in the grain transport case that King Su participated in this time was obviously caused by Liu Yanzong's intention to carry out land annexation and taxation according to the emperor's wishes.

The ministers couldn't help but gasp. The emperor was too cruel. If he wanted to make trouble, he would just use his own brothers to do it, which was to set a precedent for them, the important officials of the court.

Look, I dare to kill King Su, you are just a shame! I cut you like killing ants!

The emperor glanced at the ministers and said, "You guys, what do you think about the matter of King Su?"

Wang Boyan took the list and said, "Your Majesty, King Su is the royal relative, and I am not convenient to discuss it."

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? The emperor is still guilty of the same crime as the common people! What's more, the prince!"

The ministers all had alpacas roaring in their hearts: That's it, but if your emperor really did something, there was no one else to do! Poor King Su, was caught and was so miserable!

Seeing that the emperor had spoken out about the problem of King Su, even Wang Boyan could not refuse, so the other ministers had to remain silent and try not to interfere with the royal affairs.

"What? My ministers stopped talking today? Zhong Qing, tell me."

Zhong Shidao was old and had a special seat in the court. He said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is in charge of military tactics as if the military tactics are as strict as a mountain. If the military tactics are not strict, the three armies will be dispersed and they will be defeated without fighting!"

"Where is Li Qing?"

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, taxes are the foundation of the country. As a royal relative, King Su took it as an example. Now he evaded taxes privately and was punished with a higher level of crime!"

"Where is Xu Qing?"
