At this time, the chamberlain at the door said: "The official family, a high-ranking official wants to see you."

"Let him in."

After Gao Qiu came in, he presented a report. He was in high spirits, as if he was like the kind of student who had just done something good and wanted to be praised by the teacher.

"Guan family, this is a case of robbery by soldiers collected by me in the city!" Gao Qiu carefully presented it, "By the way, I told the people in the front department to let them all play their part, and there were some robberies.

The soldiers were caught by me, and I beat them up on the spot!"

Gao Qiu clearly grasped the emperor's preferences and catered to them at any time.

"Well, you did a good job."

"Thank you for the compliments from the officials. I will all do my duty."

Zhao Ning opened it and saw, my dear, Captain Gao's handwriting is so damn ugly!

Gao Qiu collected a total of 22 robberies.

This is definitely just part of it.

One can imagine how chaotic the city is now.

In this case, some officials also took matters into their own hands.

Zhao Ning's face was gloomy, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

The Privy Council has already been involved. Is this just a simple matter of collecting food from the private sector?

No, no, no! Zhao Ning also smells the smell of political struggle!

1. Don’t some people know that raising food from the private sector will lead to people below taking the opportunity to rob it?

They know it very well!

Who can be an official in the capital and be an official in a core department? Which one is stupid?

They are all human beings!

Why do they do this?

This incident happened to happen in the Privy Council, and now Zhang Shuye is the deputy privy envoy, coordinating the military and political affairs of the city.

Do you think this is a coincidence that something like this happened just after taking over the charge of coordinating the military and political affairs of the city?

If it is not stopped, things will most likely develop like this, and more and more Imperial Guards will be encouraged to blackmail the people.

When the time came, the officials from the peace faction sent a memorial: Commander Zhang Shuye neglected his duties and instigated chaos in the city.

This is political struggle.

Second, in the capital, some of the imperial guards at the lower levels were privately communicated without issuing formal official letters, which catered well to the interests of some officers.

During this chaotic time, there were some Imperial Guards who were misbehaving and adding fuel to the fire in the capital.

The reason why there is no formal official letter in the Beijing house is because it is impossible for Zhang Shuye to pass a formal official letter and it will leave clues.

This matter involved the Infantry Division. Zhang Jingwen was only a small Dutou (centurion), and two Du Yuhou (Thousands of Forbidden Army commanders) were also involved.

Logically speaking, the army should not be mobilized now that the enemy is facing us.

Of course not using the army!

Small-scale rectification!

If those officers are not moved, there is no reason to move the Privy Council officials in the capital. If they are not moved, how can we quell the robberies in the city now?

How to calm down?

The only way to appease it is with human heads!

As long as the interests of the majority of the common people and the interests of the majority of officials are not affected, the situation will not collapse.

Besides, the salary for three months had just been paid out in one go, and the emperor's prestige in the army was at its highest, so it was the best time to make a move.

But before we take action, we need to find someone to take the blame for this matter.

Zhao Ning lowered his voice and said: "Go and call Feng Shu for me!"

"Yes!" Seeing that the emperor was furious, Wang Huaiji did not dare to hesitate and hurried out.

Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, Gao Qiu did not dare to say anything.

"Gao Qiu, go and reorganize the people in the Imperial City Department for me. If I find you using the imperial guards to build your own house again in the future, I will hang your head on the tower!"

"Yes, yes! I will obey the official teachings."

"You've been doing very well these days."

"It's all the officials who give good advice."

"Go down and spend more time on reorganizing the Imperial City Department. I will also expand the staff of your Imperial City Department next."

"I excuse myself." After coming out of Wende Hall, Gao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Talking to the emperor felt too oppressive.

Facts have proved that human potential is unlimited. Gao Qiu was not doing his job every day under Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Now Zhao Ning hangs a sword over his head, and he instantly transforms into a "hot-blooded warrior" fighting for his ideals.

Having said that, the Beijing Room is one of the twelve rooms under the Privy Council.

In charge of the deployment of the Infantry Division in front of the palace, as well as the procurement and management of weapons, as well as the Sichuan-Shaanxi border defense, the local military establishment in the Gyeonggi and Fujian roads, and the personnel establishment of the Imperial City Division.

This is definitely the yamen at the center of power.

Not long after, Feng Fu, who knew the Privy Council, came.

Knowing the affairs of the Privy Council is equivalent to the Privy Council envoy, who is the top leader in the Privy Council.

"I see the official family."

Zhao Ning had a gloomy face. It seems that if I push Zhang Shuye up, the Privy Council people will cause trouble!

He picked up the confession and threw it towards Feng Shu: "Read it yourself!"

Feng Pu was startled and picked up the confession letter from the ground. He looked uneasy and was even more frightened and sweating profusely.

"Officials, ministers..."

"You want to say you didn't know about this?"

Feng Fu was speechless for a moment, he really didn't know.

But as the boss of the Privy Council, the people below him make their own decisions, which is really incompetent.

"I am guilty."

"You are indeed guilty! You know the affairs of the Privy Council, but you can't even control the people below! What use do I need from you!"

Feng Fu was suddenly sweating profusely.

"How do you deal with it?"

"Remove Liu Chengqi, the foreign minister in Beijing!"

Zhao Ning said in a deep voice: "Dismissal from office? Is dismissal enough? Do you think that just dismissing from office can deter that group of people!"

"Officials, please stop killing people. Everyone is in danger now."

"Everyone is in danger?" Zhao Ning's eyes became colder and colder, "Who is in danger? I just came back from outside the palace. I saw that the common people are spontaneously planning to resist the Jin Dynasty. The morale of the soldiers has risen. The ones who are in danger are those who are now in danger.

You're an official who doesn't do actual work and only thinks about causing trouble for me!"

He slammed the table angrily, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it out, smashing it into pieces.

People outside the palace could hear the emperor's angry voice: "These people are too courageous! I really don't dare to kill them if they really think that they are facing a formidable enemy!"

"The officials, if they kill more people, I'm afraid..."

"What? If you kill them, the world will be over! Which one of them is unjust!"

"The official family..."

The emperor interrupted him again: "Okay, don't do this privy affairs, Liu Chengqi, I will handle it, someone will take his place!"

Of course there are people!

The Song Dynasty lacked everything, but it really did not lack officials. The Song Dynasty had the largest number of officials in ancient China.

Seven out of ten officials in the Northern Song Dynasty were sinecures. They did not have to do anything and were supported by the court.

This was one of the methods of Zhao and Song's rule, to win over the literati from all over the world and to support them.

This is the famous rong (two-tone) official in the Northern Song Dynasty!

If you kill one and turn around, you can find another one to support you. You don't even need to support him, because many positions have deputy positions.

What Feng Pu said may jeopardize the relationship between monarch and ministers, and will indeed shock the hearts of officials again.

But what is more important now than defending Tokyo City?

What is more important than uniting the hearts of the whole city?

Feng Pu felt a little disappointed. He took out the official seal of knowing the secret affairs, walked over and put it on the emperor's desk, and then bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ning lowered his eyebrows and did not look at Feng Pu.

What do you think of Feng Pu?
