The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 310 The Imperative
Zhao Gou wanted to laugh out loud, but he held it back. His simple idea was to completely reform the atmosphere of Song Dynasty.It can’t be said that it is not good to emphasize literature and suppress martial arts in the past, but the times are different and a complete change is needed.Originally, Zhao Gou wanted to start from the essence, but the most fundamental thing in the Song Dynasty was the corrupt official system.

Corruption and bribery, the use of power for personal gain, and forming cliques are commonplace. If Zhao Gou wants to change the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, what he needs most is to completely eliminate the cancer in the court, and these people will bear the brunt of punishment. No matter how difficult it is, it has to be done.

It just so happened that Zhao Ji had this intention, and the imperial examination was an opportunity.Before Zhao Gou proposed it, Zhao Ji had such an idea.Therefore, Zhao Gou took advantage of the trend and added fuel to the flames.Although Zhao Gouquan was in the Song Dynasty, some things had to be done by the emperor. After the imperial decree was issued, it was very simple to act.

If you don't check, you don't know. After checking, you find that half of the officials in the court are not clean. Except for those officials with high positions and powers who cannot act without authorization, there are too many moths from the first-rank officials to the ninth-rank officials.The list submitted by Zhao Gou is only a small part, not all.

In addition, the [-] or so people that Zhao Gou answered had a lot of criminal records and must be dealt with as soon as possible. The real number is far more than this.However, Zhao Gou didn't dare to tell the truth, because Zhao Ji might not agree with everything he had said, so he had to hide it.

Now, Zhao Ji has agreed, so Zhao Gou has no scruples, and is ready to completely eliminate these moths in the court.

"Ninth brother, the emperor really learned from this painful experience, are you determined to eliminate it completely?" Zhao Yougong held the roster, no matter how he looked at it, he thought it was a hot potato, and thinking of what Zhao Gou said to himself, he couldn't help but doubt it. agreed.

Zhao Gou smiled treacherously: "Of course you can't tell them all. The list submitted is only a part, and the number of people I answered is slightly reduced. If you tell them all, I'm afraid that the character of the father will not dare to do so." , even if you really take action, I'm afraid it will hurt your muscles and bones, so you must treat it with caution."

Zhao Yougong didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "In this way, you deliberately concealed it? If the emperor knows, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Zhao Gou shook his head and said firmly: "Obsolutely not. As long as you really start to act, you can't give up halfway, and this matter is handed over to our Overwatch Council and the Criminal Department. If these people on the list are corrupt and accept bribes, use power for personal gain, and do nothing All bad deeds will be eliminated."

"Brother, what do you think of the current official system in the Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Yougong replied without hesitation: "Corruption!"

Zhao Gou nodded solemnly, and agreed: "My brother has not been in the court for many years. I know the shortcomings of the court, and my father must also know about it. It's just that the power was left behind and he was powerless. Now, the Song Dynasty is facing Jin, Liao, Xixia, you want to encroach on the Song Dynasty, do you think the father will just sit back and let the Song Dynasty fall into the hands of others?"

Zhao Yougong shook his head, as the emperor, how could Zhao Ji willingly hand over his country to others!
"Because the father is unwilling to sit idly by and do nothing, he is bound to want to fight for it, and wants to make the Song Dynasty powerful." Zhao Gou analyzed clearly, "Father's wish is to let the Song Dynasty rise. Because the previous system has been afraid to take action, the power is not in the hands, and we can only watch the Great Song bow before Liao and Jin, which is a shame."

"Nowadays, Xixia is taking advantage of the situation to seize the city. It seems that they don't pay attention to Song Dynasty. They even tore up the previous agreement. This matter has gone too far, and the father will definitely not agree. If it is not for this matter It has deeply stimulated the father, I am afraid that the father will not easily use the army, so he can only continue to be patient."

"It is an unchanging truth that you can conquer the world only by hard work and courage. My father has been on the throne for a long time, and the power has fallen to the side. I think my father knows this well. It's just that there are strong enemies outside. There must be no fluctuations in the Song Dynasty, otherwise there will be no war." And surrender, the rear is unstable, how can we fight with peace of mind in the front.”

"Even though my father is unwilling to get rid of these moths in every possible way, the situation forces me to do so. If these moths exist all the time, it will be far more terrifying than having a strong enemy from outside. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. This method not only recovers what has been lost. It can also make the generals at the front feel at ease, do you think it should be done?"

Zhao Yougong replied logically: "Of course!"

Zhao Gou went on to say: "This is one of them, and there is another point, that is, these people hindered the way of selecting talents in the Song Dynasty. The imperial examination is held every year in the imperial court. The military examination is over, so the imperial examination is bound to be needed. It is only necessary to select the number one scholar, and to confer official positions is a kindness to the emperor, do you think they will still be wooed?"

"The children of officials and eunuchs are not without real talents and learning, but the children of poor families are the ones who truly see the sufferings of the people and do things for the people sincerely, for the country and the people. It is not a rich country and a strong people.”

"Everyone in the common people praises the goodness of the emperor, and will not talk about the bad things of the emperor. The will of the emperor is issued to the prefectures and counties, no matter who will abide by it, then the people will be able to work with peace of mind, and provide a steady stream of food and grass for the army, and the treasury will also There are more taxes."

"Through repeated cycles, everything can become truly prosperous and strong. The biggest wish of the people is to live and work in peace and contentment, not a life of rich clothes and good food. The children of officials and eunuchs have not experienced the sufferings of the people, so how do they know what the people need? There is power behind them. At that time, there were many people who put on official positions and few did practical things, which was not conducive to the people of the Song Dynasty, nor to the rule of the father."

"Whether it's the Song Jiang uprising or Fang La's rebellion, the most fundamental reason is that there are too many moths in the court. The greater the official position, the greater the self-interest. Only sporadic exploitation is in the hands of the people. Life is difficult to maintain. You Do you think these people will still obey the imperial decree?"

Zhao Yougong was silent, Zhao Gou's words were true.Even though there is still some distance to completely eliminate the moths in the court, but this can be regarded as making the official system of the Song Dynasty more clear, which is only good for the Song Dynasty and not harmful.It's just that if you do this, the consequences will be very serious, and you will inevitably encounter many obstacles, but you have to complete it.

Zhao Yougong also knew that there were many problems with the official system of the Song Dynasty, and he could do nothing about it.Now, Zhao Gou not only pointed out the pros and cons, but also made a thorough analysis. Zhao Yougong was also worried about what the emperor was worried about.However, Zhao Gou is bold and skilled, and he is not afraid of any dangers. This is Zhao Gou's greatest charm, and Zhao Yougong has to admire him.

As Zhao Gou said, this clean-up operation is imperative. For the sake of long-term interests, there must be the determination of a strong man to cut his wrists. He must not hesitate. If there is any hesitation or wavering, I am afraid that this road will not go on. In the end, it was the country and the country of the Song Dynasty that would be damaged in the end, so we had to bite the bullet and start taking action.
