The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1447 Establishing the Mirror
Her departure did not have much impact on Zhao Dongting's life.Just like Li Goudan who went to Zangshu Pavilion for meditation, when she left, there would always be someone to make up for her.

Zhao Dongting's imperial study room is a well-deserved center of power in the Song Dynasty, and there will never be a shortage of Xiaohuangmen.

There will always be countless people squeezing their heads for this position.

But this time, the two little Huangmen chosen by Zhao Dongting himself were both named Zhang.The older one is 19 years old named Zhang Tingen, who is the grandson of the retired supervisor Zhang Shijie.

The 17-year-old Zhang Polu who was younger was the only surviving son of Zhang Xi, Minister of the Ministry of War, who died of illness.

Zhang Shijie is luckier than Zhang Xi, both are surnamed Zhang, but he still has two sons under his knees.The eldest son is currently serving as the supervisor on Guangnan East Road, he can be regarded as a high official in the frontier, and there may not be no chance to succeed him in the future.Although the youngest son is not as promising as the eldest son, he also has an official from the fifth rank in the household department.Even if Zhang Shijie has retired, he doesn't have to worry about having no successors.

And Zhang Xi had only one child, and he had already sacrificed his life for the country when the court lingered on Naozhou Island.Now that even he has passed away, the Zhang family is really withered.

All the officials in the court understood what the emperor meant.Choosing Zhang Tingen and Zhang Polu to enter the palace is a sympathy for the veterans.

Especially Zhang Polu, probably even if he has no skills, the emperor will give him a fat job in the future.Zhang Shangshu's family has paid so much for the country, there is no reason to be depressed like this.

Therefore, this matter did not make much noise in the court.

After learning that the emperor had selected these two people, the rest of the people who tried their best to get the position of Xiaohuangmen also fell silent.

It is said that when the emperor's imperial decree was delivered to Zhang Shangshu's mansion, Zhang Shangshu's original wife, now the grandma of Zhang's mansion, wept bitterly, kowtowed to the imperial city, and shouted for the mighty grace of the emperor.

The more the family is on the verge of extinction, the more it can understand that this is really a mighty grace of the emperor.Especially Zhao Dongting has always been a business-oriented emperor.

Time flies to October.

Even Liu Piaoxu was integrated into the large courtyard of the harem, not to mention the two sisters Zhu Qinghe and Zhu Qingci who were already frequent visitors here.

All the girls are called sisters in the yard, and it can be said that they are enjoying themselves.

And the time spent in the courtyard was undoubtedly the most beautiful for Zhao Dongting.

All the girls have their own strengths, and more importantly, they all love him.

Even Turandot, who came from the Yuan Dynasty, seems to have let go of his knot now.He only regards himself as the Concubine Li of the Song Dynasty.

Finally, there are some clues on Guangnan West Road.

Chen Wenlong wrote back and said that some deeds of Wen Zheyan's corruption and perversion of the law had been found out.The witnesses have been sent to the Zhenguo General Military Region for protection, and they can be convicted only when the evidence is conclusive.

Chen Wenlong, who has always been calm, said these words. It is conceivable that he should have Wen Zheyan's criminal evidence in his hands.

But this still made Zhao Dongting unhappy.

He asked himself that the treatment of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely good, especially Wen Zheyan, a big official in the frontier, was definitely honored and favored.

But I didn't expect that people like Wen Zheyan were still not satisfied.

Human desires, sometimes really have no end.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help thinking of Wen Zheyan in the past. At that time, Wen Zheyan was an official in the court, and he was diligent and diligent.If he hadn't taken this into consideration, he would not have promoted Wen Zheyan, who was the Shaoyin of the Changsha Mansion back then, to Guangnan West Road as Jiedushi.Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, Wen Zheyan would undergo such a big change.

In the place where he made his fortune, he expended a lot of energy to develop Guangnan West Road.That diligent Wen Zheyan was unknowingly corrupted like this.

And it was the retired inspector Mu Kangxun who reported him.

This shows that the number of officials corrupted in Guangnan West Road is bound to be a shocking number.

It's only been a few years...

Of course Zhao Dongting hated it.

When I worked hard to create a prosperous age for Song Dynasty, these people just didn't work hard, and they were still dragging their feet behind.

He wrote back to Chen Wenlong, giving Chen Wenlong the power of life and death.If the evidence is conclusive, Wen Zheyan and others can be dealt with on the spot with the help of the Zhen Guo Military Region.

Moreover, he told Chen Wenlong that no matter who was involved, even the ministers of the court, he would never tolerate it.

As long as they are involved, they must be punished.

After all, he still has a slightly different affection for Guangnan West Road.The place where he made his fortune cannot be defiled by these people.

How much did the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty pay for taking Guangnan West Road back then?

Lu Chuanyao, Yang Yidong, Li Yuanxiu, Zou Wei, Wan Yanzhang, Jiang Cunzhong, Liu Fu, Wu Daniu, Ge Lichun, Liu Yong...

Those faces are still fresh in Zhao Dongting's memory.

The Song generals who died in battle on Guangnan West Road were the most.

Until he walked out of the imperial study and returned to the bedroom, Zhao Dongting was still angry.

Although he had already had a premonition that there was something wrong with Wen Zheyan and the others, but now that he had actually caught the evidence, he still couldn't let it go.

All the girls knew him well, even though he had a smile on his face when he entered the door, they still let the girls see some clues.

As soon as they sat down at the stone table, Le Chan and Zhang Ru put down their children and walked beside him.Zhang Ru naturally kneaded Zhao Dongting's shoulders.

She can't speak, but Zhao Dongting can feel her tenderness and care from other aspects.

No matter how great the anger was, it quietly dissipated a lot at this moment.

Le Chan asked softly: "What makes you unhappy?"

Zhao Dongting said: "There is already an eye on Guangnan West Road. Wen Zheyan and those people have problems. And in all likelihood, they have already set up hills and colluded with each other."

Le Chan frowned slightly, then sighed, and asked again: "Then what do you plan to do?"

"The state owns the laws of the country, and the family has its own rules. Although Wen Zheyan and the others have meritorious service, I won't take any sympathy into this kind of thing." Zhao Dongting said.

Le Chan sighed heavily again, "I've heard about Wen Zheyan before, he has a clean sleeve and is diligent in his work. How could he become like this when he arrives at Guangnan West Road? Is there really no way to eradicate corrupt officials?"

"Elimination is impossible."

Zhao Dongting shook his head lightly and said: "People have desires, desires for lust, desire for money, desire for power... It's like people who don't have enough to eat will envy those who can eat enough, and those who have enough to eat envy those who are well-fed Yes, those with rich families envy those with wealth. Those with wealth envy those with power in their hands, and those with power want to have more power..."

Le Chan fell silent for a while before saying: "Then what are you going to do? There is no way to stop it, but it must be stopped."

Zhao Dongting shook his head in distress, "I haven't thought of a solution yet."

That night, Zhao Dongting rarely entered anyone's room.He just stayed in his own room that was neglected by him, frowning and thinking.

The next day, before dawn, Zhao Dongting, who had not slept all night, went to the Bamboo Sea with his sword in hand to practice swords.

Up to now, his swordsmanship has reached the point of perfection.Guiyuan's swordsmanship is familiar by heart.

To say that he is a martial arts genius is not the slightest bit watery.

It's just that when it comes to martial arts cultivation, there is still a long way to go from the middle stage of Zhenwu.

But his attainment in artistic conception, by now, is probably close to that of Zhenwu's late stage.Perhaps it is the reason why his artistic conception is different, and his progress in this aspect is astounding.

As the sword intent sprayed on him, the surrounding bamboo sea undulated as if being blown by the wind.

Looking at this sea of ​​green onions and bamboos, Zhao Dongting gradually lost his mind.

When he came back to his senses, there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he held Zhanlu and went straight to the imperial study.

About two quarters of an hour passed, Zhang Tingen and Zhang Polu hurriedly left the imperial study room, went to the yamen in the palace to summon all the ministers to the main hall for discussion.

Zhao Dongting seldom convened all the ministers to discuss matters. When the ministers received the news, they all realized that something important had happened or was about to happen.

It wasn't long before all the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty who were on duty in the palace and resting at home all appeared in the palace hall.

All of them can be regarded as the humerus of the Song Dynasty, and the lowest level is also the position of a servant of a certain department.

Zhao Dongting said after all the ministers saluted, "I have an idea this morning, and I want you to come here to discuss and discuss. I said earlier that the people are the foundation of this world, but now, the people have no way to supervise All the ministers in the court, this is a disadvantage. Although it can make the officials of the Song Dynasty have prestige, it may also make them form a unified body. Therefore, I decided to accept the opinions of the people, and in every village, every town, every county, every city, All states and all walks of life have elected people who are recognized by the people as the inspectors of our Great Song Dynasty according to public opinion, which is a mirror. I will give them the right to impeach officials, what do you think?"
