Before Gao Qiu came over, Mo Chou ran over.

Wang Huaiji said: "The official family, Mo Shangshu said that he has something important to attend."

"Oh?" Zhao Ning was a little surprised, "Tell him that I am tired and want to rest."

"He said he had something important to report to the officials, and said that if the officials didn't see him, he wouldn't leave."

Um?

Dare to threaten me?

its not right!

Zhao Ning was a little surprised. This Mo Chou was not a stubborn person. When did he become so confident?

"Go and announce him to the palace."

"yes."

Mo Chou entered the palace all the way, and when he was approaching Wende Hall, he saw Wang Huaiji.

"Zhongguan Wang, thank you very much."

"Mo Shangshu, come in quickly, the official family is inside."

"Hey, okay, thank you! Thank you!"

Mo Chou organized his thoughts and walked into the Hall of Wende.

"I see you at the official's house, and I wish you peace."

"Without courtesy, why does Mo Qing want to see me?"

"The official family, I have something urgent."

"Oh? But it doesn't matter."

Zhao Ning thought, it seemed that Mo Qiu was preparing to talk about Gao Qiu's arrest in the morning.

Is this guy feeling good again recently?

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty were not used to the reorganized Imperial City Division, so of course they would be shocked and jump into rebellion.

It seems that our Lord Mo is going to be the vanguard!

"Guan family!" Mo Chou's tone suddenly became sad. At this moment, it was like the Tokyo Movie King was possessed, "Guan family! Now our Song Dynasty is in danger!"

Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment, Damn it! Mo Shangshu, what the hell are you doing!

"Mo Qing, what do you say?"

"Today I heard that several officials were suspected of corruption and were arrested and taken to the Imperial City Department. I feel sad!"

"Oh?" Zhao Ning suddenly became interested, but he acted as calm as water, making it impossible to see any emotional changes, "Mo Qing, please tell me in detail."

"Your Majesty, the golden thieves have just retreated, the capital is in ruins and is waiting to be renovated, and the northern front is still full of crises. However, the officials are not enterprising and are rampant in corruption. As a minister, they read the books of sages and do not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. This is not a human minister.

However, rats are rampant up and down the court, leading to the decline of the country and the danger of national subjugation. I boldly speak out and if I offend the Holy Heart, please punish me!"

Ouch, shit!

Zhao Ning looked at Mo Chou calmly.

Damn it!

I thought I was here to plead the grievances of the arrested officials, but it turned out that I was here to be a licker!

I almost thought you, Mo Chou, were a loyal minister!

"Then Mo Qing, do you have any good ideas?"

Mo Chou immediately said: "I believe that only by tightening the rules of the court, rectifying the administration of officials, and eradicating the evildoers can all the talents in the world be used by the imperial court."

Zhao Ning nodded and said nothing.

Take a look!

These bullshit, they know the current situation.

They all know it!

Every one of them knew that the Song Dynasty was riddled with all kinds of diseases, that corrupt officials were rampant, and that the bureaucrats were sucking the flesh and blood of the country!

But they all pretend not to know!

And Mo Chou was definitely not someone whose conscience was suddenly struck by lightning and discovered.

He must have sensed a threat.

The Jin army retreated for half a month, and everyone slowly recovered from the surprise.

On the surface, the court is peaceful, but actually a storm is brewing.

He Li stepped down, Sun Fu was still in prison, and Feng Shu resigned.

When Zhao Ji was in power, Cai Jing and others were all executed, Li Bangyan was demoted to Mingdao Palace, and Wu Min and Xu Churen were kicked out of Beijing last year.

Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong both went to work and stayed at home.

The court is currently in a stage of reorganization of forces.

It is rumored that the official family has sent people to recall Li Gang, and Qian Gai, the minister of household affairs who serves as the general envoy in the northwest, has also returned to Beijing.

Power changes and the storm surges.

During this sensitive period, the Imperial City was moved.

Mo Chou keenly sensed the political crisis.

He wants to engage in political speculation!

Seeing that Zhao Guan's family was silent, Mo Chou felt a drum in his heart.

After a while, Zhao Ning said: "How to clean up?"

What? How to clean it up?

Damn it! I really didn’t think about it. I just came here to brag, coax His Majesty, give His Majesty a lick, and then make a statement.

After all, Mo Chou was also the number one scholar, and his mind was spinning very fast. He said: "Of course, we should strictly control the performance of officials, assess them impartially, and put those who are capable in their positions."

This is nonsense.

Zhao Ning smiled and said: "Mo Qing, please step back first, I am tired."

"The official family..."

"Go down."

Mo Chou wanted to say something else, but seeing that the emperor was unwilling to say any more, he said, "I leave!"

Mo Chou left the Hall of Wende.

Do you want to use it?

Use it!

The licking dog was sent, and it was the official minister, so of course I had to use it!

If Mo Chou doesn't lick him anymore, Zhao Ning will have to replace him.

What is power?

Financial power and personnel power are power!

Having money and being consistent in changing people is the power of life and death.

For example, if the emperor says something, the boss of the army will be dismissed, and the prime minister will resign, this is the power of personnel.

Not to mention fiscal power.

Next, to rectify the administration of officials and implement reforms, the power of personnel must be in the hands of the emperor himself.

Shortly after Mo Chou left, Gao Qiu came.

"Guan Jia, this is a confession."

Zhao Ning couldn’t wait to finish reading it.

He almost applauded.

good!

The properties under the names of these officials are really more numerous than the last!

Do you think Su Shi couldn't afford a house back then?

Because Su Shi was an official with integrity. People like Su Shi were pure idealists, political commentators, and had the talent of a prime minister.

It's a pity that it "died" midway.

But by the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, what kind of things were in the court!

Cai Jing himself embezzled 14 million yuan (about 7 billion yuan)!

Tong Guan, Wang Fu, and Li Yan are all more greedy than the last.

Now, in both the government and the public, there are corrupt officials one after another!

From fertile land, to tea trading, to salt trading, each one is more capable of using power for personal gain than the other!

The most important thing is that this matter hired more than thirty officials!

When it was getting dark, Zhao Ning personally visited the prison of the Imperial City Division.

At this time, Wang Chuanqing was beaten all over his body. He seemed very tired, fell asleep, and was still snoring.

When he noticed some movement, he quickly opened his eyes and shouted loudly: "I said! I said it all! Stop fighting! I said it all..."

Gao Qiu said: "Your Majesty is here!"

Wang Chuanqing was stunned and quickly cried: "Your Majesty! I was wronged! Your Majesty! I was wronged! Please make the decision for me!"

"Wang Qing, I heard that you have recruited many corrupt officials?"

"Yes, yes! Everything I said is true!" Wang Chuanqing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "They have all smuggled tea here before."

"What did they do with their tea?"

"I don't know this."

"If you don't give enough evidence, how can I arrest people? If I can't arrest people, how can I forgive you?" Zhao Ning said, "As long as you give enough evidence again, and I verify that it is true, I will let you go immediately. Merits and faults."
