Zhao Ning did not expect that Qin Hui completed the task in one night.

The Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment all tried together. This was called the joint trial of the three divisions, which originated in the Tang Dynasty.

According to the normal judicial process of the Song Dynasty, it was impeachment at Yushitai, preliminary trial at Dali Temple, review by the Ministry of Punishment, and submission to the emperor for ruling.

This involved the minister of Dali Temple and the imperial censor, so Zhao Ning gave Qin Hui five days.

After all, it takes time to convince these two characters.

Unexpectedly, Qin Hui submitted the final report of the three-division review in one night.

This had to make Zhao Ning happy, but at the same time he became seriously wary of Qin Hui.

They all say that Qin Hui took the blame for Zhao Gou's murder of Yue Fei, but those people don't read history books.

Yue Fei was killed by a conspiracy between Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, and no one took the blame.

To what extent does Qin Hui control power?

His confidants were placed in everything from finance, justice, administration, and military affairs.

So after Qin Hui died, Zhao Gou said: Today I don't have to wear a knife in my boots. ("Song History" records)

What's the meaning?

Zhao Gou said: From today on, I no longer have to hide a knife in my boots.

Do you think Qin Hui took the blame entirely for Zhao Gou?

Zhao Gou had a dagger hidden on his back to guard against Qin Hui?

Qin Hui's control over power was definitely one of the most terrifying among ancient powerful officials.

If Yue Fei is a genius in military affairs, Qin Hui is a genius in conspiracy.

Such people can use it, but they cannot use it all the time, and the knife is too fast and can easily hurt themselves.

Zhao Ning already knew it in his heart.

Generally speaking, the Song Dynasty has not been so efficient for more than a hundred years.

There are various duplicative yamen and a lot of idle officials.

These idle officials also have social status and salary, and use their status and money to acquire resources and continuously strengthen themselves.

Just this time, 29 of the 38 officials are idle.

I am so idle that I can buy fields, get money, do business, and expand my family business.

This is fucking magical. If you cut them off, you don’t have to find new ones to take over!

All you need to do is send someone to count the property to fill the national treasury.

Regarding Qin Hui's report, the emperor certainly made a big move.

Judiciary does not require the signature and seal of the political hall.

After the Xingbu Yamen submitted it, the emperor gave the final order.

Zhao Ning waved his pen: Cut it off!

Of course, all preparations must be done before cutting.

Now it is the emperor who kills people, not the gangster boss.

When an emperor kills someone, he must first clearly determine the crime, and then make a big fuss about it in public opinion.

The charges are as follows:

1. Corruption, accepting bribes, and using power for personal gain.

Second, forcefully buy fertile land.

Third, trade with the Jin Kingdom and collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.

The three major crimes were placed on different officials this time.

For example, the highest-ranking official, Tongfeng Dafu Cao Le, is a third-grade official.

This is a casual official, one who has an official position but no position.

That is to say, you can enjoy the treatment of the third rank, but without any position. You can just lie down at home and the court will support you.

How much is the monthly salary from Sanpin?

It's about 170 yuan per month. According to the price of food, it's almost 85,000 yuan in salary per month.

From this point of view, how distorted has the current Song Dynasty become?

The Song Dynasty cleverly created a name, imposed huge taxes on the people, drained the world, worshiped civil servants, and gave them such high salaries, but what they got in exchange was not a clean government.

But expansion, mergers, corruption and blood-sucking!

This matter was hardly discussed in the court, but the emperor made it final with a stroke of his pen.

The newspaper headlines for May 1st came out.

This caused an uproar in the city of Tokyo. After seeing the way these thirty officials were handled, the ordinary people all applauded.

For a time, there was discussion everywhere in Tokyo.

Others scolded: "These dog officials, when the Jin people come, they are the ones who want to surrender. They are the ones who usually embezzle the common people!"

"Well done! The Zhao Guan family is truly a wise king through the ages!"

"This is to eliminate harm for the people!"

"The Zhao Guan family eliminates harm for the people and kills corrupt officials, the Holy Emperor!"

"..."

People all praise it.

If this were the case when there were no newspapers, the news received by the people would not necessarily be like this.

Maybe it was the tyrant who listened to the slander and killed innocent and loyal ministers indiscriminately.

This incident caused a small earthquake in the officialdom. After all, 38 officials were all sentenced to death. This is simply...

So on May 1st, a large group of officials rushed to the gate of the palace and asked to see His Majesty.

"Official family! Official family!" Wang Huaiji came in hurriedly, "Official family, there are many officials outside the palace asking for an interview."

"No, I'm busy!"

"They said that if the officials did not see them, they would not be able to kneel down."

Yo ho!

Threaten me!

Zhao Ning said coldly: "Then let them kneel there! Kneel until they die!"

Wang Huaiji saw that the emperor was a little angry and did not dare to say anything more.

They can't make much noise now. People's hearts are now in Zhao Ning's hands. It's impossible for them to incite people's hearts.

Zhao Ning now has unprecedented prestige both in Tokyo City and in the Imperial Guard.

In the afternoon, Ban Zhi (Ban Zhi, meaning Imperial Forest Army) of the Imperial City Division took action separately and began to ransack their homes.

In the evening, it started raining heavily.

Thirty-seven officials were escorted to the execution ground.

The number of executioners in the capital was not enough, so they were directly transferred from the various squads of the front department of the palace to assist in the beheading. If there was an accident, he would step forward to suppress the formation.

There were seven executioners in total, but I was worried that there were too few people and they wouldn't be able to finish the execution.

There are more than a dozen people from the class standing next to him as substitutes.

In the pouring rain, some officials knelt on the ground numbly, and some officials were still struggling, shouting loudly: "I am unjust! Your Majesty! I am unjust!"

After the knife went down, the head rolled on the ground and rolled into a puddle, with its face facing upwards and its eyes wide open.

Blood spurted out in the rain, dyeing a large area red.

Lightning flashed across the sky, reflecting on people's heads.

"I'll give you money! I have a lot of money! I'll give it all to you! Please spare me! I don't want to die!"

The squads stood in the rain, like sharp spears, silent.

Cut the knife down once, the rain will wash the knife clean, and then continue.

There is no such thing as "asking for beheading after autumn" or "asking for beheading at noon" in Zhao Ning.

I want them to die now!

And it’s heartbreaking to kill someone!

Public opinion completely discredited them.

Why were there so many corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty with high salaries to support incorruptible officials?

Is this the ancestral precept not to kill scholar-bureaucrats?

Nonsense ancestral teachings!

In the Song Dynasty, there was never an ancestral precept not to kill scholar-bureaucrats!

Those who say that the ancestors of the Song Dynasty taught not to kill scholar-bureaucrats only read street stall marketing articles.

Zhao Kuangyin was born as a soldier, so he didn't kill ministers?

Only fifteen high-ranking officials were recorded in the "History of Song Dynasty: The Benji of Taizu". They were high-ranking officials, at least fourth-rank officials, and they were all killed by Zhao Kuangyin.

This is only what is recorded, what is not recorded, and there is a large area.

Zhao Guangyi also killed them, and the embezzlers were severely punished and killed with heads rolling in.

It was not until Zhao Guangyi dealt with the corrupt official Wang Huai that his brother, the political advisor Wang Mi, interceded for mercy and was saved from death.

This was a bad start. During the Zhenzong period, they began to stop killing people.

During the Renzong period, people were even less likely to kill.

During the Shenzong period, appeasement became the norm!

As a result, corrupt officials throughout the dynasty were tolerated!

Half of the treasury was used to pay the salary, and after receiving the salary, the concubine was raised and the land was acquired.

It has become a cancer creeping on the land of China!

After killing those 37 people, there was still one person who was King Pu. To kill the clan members, you could not just behead them directly, you had to find another method.

But is it over after killing these and ransacking the house?

No, no, no, it’s not over yet!
