The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2294
Afterwards, Zhao Dongting and others followed the two elders into the knife mound.

Zhao Dongting didn't stay at the knife mound, but went to pay respects to Chen Yidao's grave, and then left.

Chen Yidao's grave is very ordinary, just like the rest of Daozhong, it's just an ordinary earthen grave.

This made Zhao Dongting feel a little emotional.

No matter how powerful and powerful, no matter how high the cultivation level is, who can avoid the loess in the end?

The meaning of life is probably to do enough meaningful things in a limited life!

As far as I am concerned, the meaningful thing is to establish a career for the Song Dynasty, and to accompany the girls until they grow old.

There is nothing to worry about for Shen Fang's family in Daozhong, not to mention that there is a maid rewarded by Li Xiushu to take care of them.

Zhao Dongting just told the two elders that if Daozhong needed something, just ask the court.

But I knew in my heart that with the personalities of the two elders, they probably wouldn't make any demands on the court.

After leaving Daozhong, we went directly to Changsha.

Hurry on the road unhurriedly, and after more than a month, we arrived in Changsha.

Leave the palace in mid-February and return in mid-December.Zhao Dongting's trip lasted ten months.

However, compared to the territory he has traveled, these short ten months are obviously quite hasty.

Zhao Dongting himself was also aware of this.

But some things are impossible.

As an emperor, he cannot take root in a certain place for too long.To investigate various places, we can only hope to see a little knowledge.

Fortunately, the effect is still quite good.

The ten-month investigation really gave him a lot of thoughts.

Although many of these ideas were overthrown by himself, some of them remained and he planned to try them out.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Dongting didn't even go to the harem, he went directly to the imperial study and asked Zhang Polu to invite Zhong Jian and others over.

The state affairs order Zhong Jian, the supervisory order Zhao Yuluo, the military aircraft order Wen Tianxiang, the criminal order Wang Wenfu, the deputy state affairs orders Xiyi and Li Fanfu, the deputy criminal orders Zhu Hecong, Yao Yushi, etc., as well as various ministers, were all arrested. Xuan to the imperial study.

They didn't know about Zhao Dongting's return at the moment, and they were very happy when they heard the emperor's call.

Especially Zhong Jian.

When Zhao Dongting came back, he no longer needed to think about that matter in his heart all the time.

Dozens of people gathered in the Imperial Study Room, "I will see the Emperor."

"Everyone loves to be flat."

Zhao Dongting smiled and waved his hands, and asked Li Zhaoen first, "Zhaoen, how is the steam engine?"

Even in front of the ministers, he always called Li Goudan "Zhaoen", which is enough to show that he likes Li Goudan in his heart.

Of course, this is also because Li Goudan probably grew up watching him.

"Go back to the emperor."

Li Goudan, on the other hand, saluted politely and replied: "Since researchers from all over the world have entered the palace, preliminary results have been achieved in the promotion and application of steam engines in various industries. I am confident that in another half a year, I can try to put steam engines into use." to actual use."

He didn't say any specific progress in front of so many people, but these words alone were enough to make Zhao Dongting happy.

"Okay, okay!"

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Then I'll just wait for you to make a big splash."

It was indeed beyond his expectation that people like Li Goudan could make practical progress so quickly.

Then he asked Zhong Jian again, "Zhong Aiqing, what happened to Lizhou West Road?"

It has been four months since he left Lizhou West Road.The matter of wanting to come to Lizhou West Road has also come to fruition.

"Go back to the emperor."

Zhong Jian clasped his hands and said: "The investigation of the officialdom on Lizhou West Road has officially ended half a month ago. The minister dispatched the supervisor, the military intelligence department, and the new officials to investigate the corruption, and each achieved success. A total of 240 officials who violated the law were dealt with. Three people, including 110 four people who were sentenced, and 63 people who were demoted. The rest were given warnings. In addition, there were nine people implicated in the Mingjingtai, all of whom were deprived of their status as Mingjing. Four people from the Military Intelligence Department were sentenced. "

"Ah."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, and sighed: "I hope this can give Lizhou West Road a clear sky, and give other roads a wake-up call."

He wasn't particularly surprised by this figure.

Because he knew that even the Chief Officer Luan Hongmao committed suicide in fear of crime, and there would definitely be no fewer people involved.

Zhong Jian pondered for a while, and then said: "It's just about Luan Hongmao..."

Zhao Dongting said: "What's the matter with Luan Hongmao?"

Zhong Jian said: "Although Luan Hongmao committed suicide in fear of crime, in the end he has made meritorious service to the country. I dare not arbitrarily decide on it, so I still want to formally convict him now. In addition, the ministers think that the reason why Luan Hongmao committed suicide in fear of crime is probably because of his superiors. return……"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious.

"Continue to check."

Zhao Dongting only said indifferently: "Investigate to the end. As for Luan Hongmao, he can be convicted as he should. Merit is merit, and demerit is demerit. These are two different things. If he ignores the laws of the country because of his meritorious service, then I, a meritorious minister in the Song Dynasty So much, isn’t it true that everyone can take credit for their pride and disregard the laws of the country? So far, I have never granted a gold medal for avoiding death, so you should know that I will never tolerate such things as favoritism.”

"Yes."

Hearing Zhao Dongting's tone, Zhong Jian quickly agreed.

All the ministers couldn't help but feel a little chilled in their hearts.

Some wondered if they should tell their family members to restrain themselves.

They have a clear conscience, but it is inevitable that some family members will be more domineering because of their identities.

After all, Zhao Dongting hasn't cleaned up those dudes in Changsha City for a long time.
