Da Song: Shhh, I'm really not a prince

Chapter 212 Dad, I'll Show You a Big Baby——
Prince's Mansion,
A small courtyard that Zhao Shi didn't even know about.

"so……"

Zhao Zhen looked at Cao Fu's body with a complicated expression, and then looked at Zhao Shi with an even more complicated expression: "You forced to death another uncle of the court within an hour of killing a privy envoy?"

"Death?"

Zhao Shi suddenly opened his eyes wide: "What is forced death? My uncle repented and died voluntarily."

Volunteer?

Zhao Zhen glanced at Cao Fu's... unbelievable, bleeding from all seven orifices, and excruciating pain: "You call this voluntary?"

"It's voluntary."

As soon as Cao Yi changed his socially fearful character, he said with firm eyes: "Even if His Highness the Crown Prince and I can't stop him wholeheartedly, he must die."

Do you have to die?
Zhao Zhen took another look at the corpse of Cao Fu, who was obviously distorted and unwilling to die: "Forget it, since a nephew and a brother of yours said so, I won't pursue it." Come on!
Cao Yi glanced at Zhao Shi,
After a little hesitation, he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, seeing that my brother has repented and died voluntarily, I dare you to ask Your Majesty to be considerate of the Cao family, so I will keep this matter secret."

silent?

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhao Shi: "To be honest, if it weren't for this son's torment, I would have been drinking for half an hour on the matter that Wang Deyong is the culprit."

"Drink less!"

Zhao Shi took the opportunity to persuade his father, and then knelt down on one knee and said, "Officials, my uncle is greedy and deserves to die. Volunteering to die, I have the courage to ask you to characterize this matter as Wang Deyong's mastermind and conceal the matter from my uncle."

The reputation of the Cao family was ruined.

Not only Cao Yi, Empress Cao, Zhao Shi, but even Zhao Zhen will inevitably be affected. Besides, Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Shi quietly. If Zhao Shi didn't tell him, he really didn't expect this case There is even another reversal, he has already started to think about what reward to give to Zhao Shi, he naturally agrees, that is...

"Now there is another man behind the scenes. Is the 300 million guan in Wang Deyong's mansion or Cao's mansion..."

at your feet...

Zhao Shi calmly looked at the two floor tiles that Zhao Zhen was stepping on that were worth eighty pennies. Even if Zhao Zhen took a breath of air, he might wash away the extravagance of twenty or thirty Wen. Zhao Shi didn't want to embezzle the thousand three hundred Wan Guan's courtyard is really...

Zhao Shi is not like Cao Yi,

Zhao Shi also felt a little uncomfortable about the fact that his prince's mansion was built on the people's fat and people's cream, but he would not abandon the yard or sell it off in a moment of discomfort, and then use the money from the sale to compensate those who were looted. the common people,
first,
I can't make up for it.

Just like the forty or fifty cavalry that died for a stone, even if Zhao Shi put the stone back to its original position, they would not be able to come back from the dead.

Secondly,

Instead of selling these stolen goods and directly giving the money to the family of the deceased, the family of the deceased may not be able to protect this sum of money, it is better for Zhao Shi not to touch it, but to use this as a warning sign for himself, so that he can get more and faster, It is good to improve the quality of life of every common people better.

"Sir, I don't know."

Zhao Zhen didn't force it, and said with some regret: "Maybe it was squandered by these people!" Then he waved Cao Yi to bury Cao Fu with the ceremony of a national uncle, turned around and walked out of the yard, waited for a while, and met the people who came out Zhao Shidao: "I asked Di Qing to take people to search Wang Deyong's mansion. Wang Deyong's mansion is not small, it will take a while, but Di Qing has found something, I want you to see it."

"Ah."

Zhao Shi nodded,
Then he took a letter from Zhang Maoze.

letter?
Zhao Shi glanced at Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen saw that his expression seemed a little complicated, and then he took it apart to have a look...

Bye His Royal Highness.

The old minister is not defending himself, but if the old minister was born more than [-] years later, or knew His Royal Highness earlier, the old minister will not be reduced to this point. The old minister really wants to see what His Royal Highness said about opening up the territory.

May His Highness ascend the throne soon.

Recover Yanyun as soon as possible.

Shameless old minister—Wang Deyong bows again!
then……

Behind is the dense list. Zhao Shi counted and found that there were more than 130 people. He couldn't believe it: "There are so many people in Sihui Wenshe?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Shi quietly,

he doesn't care about that,

He is more concerned about... What does it mean to be born more than [-] years late, or to meet His Highness the Crown Prince earlier, the father of the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Emperor... Isn't it good?

if not?
Why is there no veteran willing to die for you?

Even though Wang Deyong was not willing to die, he could not escape Zhao Shi's sanctions. However, Wang Deyong was sorry to everyone in the world, but he was not sorry to Zhao Shi. Zhao Shi did not want to provoke Zhao Zhen anymore. It is not necessary to target yourself because of this matter. If it is really aimed at yourself, Wang Deyong will never write about it.

"Cough cough."

Zhao Shi coughed twice, and changed the subject forcefully, "Officials, I think these 130 corrupt officials are not in a hurry to arrest them all at once."

"Why?"

Zhao Zhen also restrained his mind, so he would not get angry with a dead corrupt official or his only son. Other emperors might be able to abolish a prince or two in a fit of anger. If he is abolished, he will be gone. , so it's relatively peaceful.

Zhao Shi hesitated for a moment,
In fact, his current status and strength are not enough to touch the Song Dynasty's problems of redundant officials, redundant soldiers, redundant expenses, poor and weak, but he can already start to do some small preliminary preparations for the reform, or experiment. I tried it, so after a pause, Zhao Shi still said, "Don't you think we have too many officials?"

If there were not many officials,

Cao Fu, how could Wang Deyong easily set up the Sihui Wenshe with hundreds of people, but...

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Zhen was not only reluctant to mention these issues, but even sensitively rejected them: "Da Song can't stand the trouble."

"I know."

Zhao Shi was a little helpless,

It's not that Zhao Zhen has never been ambitious, but he has a weak temperament. This may also have something to do with the strength of Empress Dowager Liu when he was a child. He is really not suitable for drastic reforms. Zhao Shi can only beat the side drum: " Although some of these 130 corrupt officials did not deserve death, but..."

"It should be that most of them are not guilty of death!"

Zhao Zhen interrupted Zhao Shi's words: "There are more than 130 people. Although these people are only small officials of the sixth and seventh ranks, but with so many officials killed at once, it is inevitable that some of the killings are too heavy. It is better to pick a few serious crimes and kill them." That’s right, other exiles or demotions.”

Zhao Shi was short of breath,
Of course, he is not a bloodthirsty person, but Zhao Shi has always been inclined to...kill such corrupt officials. Not killing is not enough to anger the people, but...

I am not yet the emperor,

Zhao Shi paused, nodded and said, "Even if it's just exile and demotion, more than 130 low-level official positions will be vacated at once, so, I think we can take the opportunity to pick out some suitable ones first, and then replace them step by step." up?"

Zhao Zhen was startled,
Zhao Shi had a good idea: "What official do you want to change?"

Zhao Shi shook his head, not afraid that Zhao Zhen would suspect that he had other intentions, and said honestly: "I will try my best to pick out the right one within a month, and, within this month, I can also send the yamen servants from the Kaifeng government office. Attack everywhere, after all, Wang Deyong just left a list, we want to convict these corrupt officials, we still need detailed investigation and evidence collection, just for the Kaifeng government officials to experience..."

You are thoughtful,

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Shi quietly, don't say what kind of experience and experience, it is the more than 100 county magistrates, don't underestimate these 20 county magistrates, as long as one-third of them climb into Tokyo, five One-tenth will enter the court, and one-tenth will become a high-ranking official. Then Zhao Shi will at least have a court full of cronies in [-] years.

but……

What can we do?

Pet it!
"I only give you ten days. If you can't choose the officials you think are suitable within these ten days, I will ask the Ministry of Officials to screen for you."

"Yes."

Zhao Shi had no objection, and even Zhao Shi would take the initiative to ask the officials for help, he didn't think that 20 years later, he would be all cronies, and after 20 years, he would be the emperor, so what would cronies do?He is mainly preparing for the next reform...

reform,

It was never from top to bottom, but from bottom to top. Without a good implementation environment and specific executive personnel, even if Zhao Shi moved out those regulations and laws, it would be of no avail.

of course,

Zhao Shi wasn't being cheeky either, he just asked for more than 130 places for nothing, and after finishing the request, Zhao Shi still said gratefully to Zhao Zhen: "Father, you trust me so much, I want to show you a big baby."

"big baby?"

Zhao Zhen was really excited. After all, Zhao Shi was greedy for many things. However, after listening to Zhao Shi's introduction, he was slightly disappointed. After all, Zhao Shi was not talking about down jackets and gel pens. , toothbrush, etc.,

But...

"Potato?"
