I am Da Song

Chapter 207 Qin Hui's children stopped crying, and the scholar-officials suffered a crushing defeat

(A person will be arranged to take over the Inspectorate instead of Qin Hui later.)
The campaign to rectify the administration of officials and clean up corruption that started on Zhedong Road frightened countless officials and scholar-bureaucrats all over the world from the very beginning.

It was so frightening that the liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and countless people shed their faces in tears, regretting their mistakes.

No one expected that the imperial court's killing intent would be so harsh this time, changing from the previous tolerant and gentle style.

The literati who have been pampered and pampered by the Song Dynasty for 200 years felt the fear of death and the preciousness of life for the first time.

In just one month, more than [-] officials and subordinates of Zhedong Road were executed.

Zhao Huan firmly rejected the resignation of all the officials at the beginning, just for today's complete liquidation.

The dead are gone.Those who are alive are called suffering.

Especially those officials who know that they have been corrupted are as frightened as a bird.I can't eat well, I can't sleep well.I'm afraid to hear people around me say that the supervisory censor is here.That means that he is dying.

The entire Zhedong Road, from officials to scholar-bureaucrats to powerful aristocratic families, all felt the fiery majesty of imperial power most directly.

Even though they have many wives and concubines, vast hectares of fertile land, and wealth, their lives are still not in their hands, and they can only wait for the judgment of the imperial power in fear.

Even though they used to be domineering and superior in the states and counties, when they stood on the opposite side of the imperial court, they had no resistance under the butcher's knife.

There are wealthy families everywhere, powerful families, and countless people wash their faces with tears all day long.

From officials, patriarchs, to the elderly, women, and even ignorant children, they are always frightened, lest they hear the words "the supervisory censor is here" in the courtyard.

For a while, Qin Hui's name could even stop the crying of children scared in the south of the Yangtze River.

The scholar bureaucrats who had been arrogant for many years let go of their arrogance for the first time, and realized bitterly that they had stood on the opposite side of the Song Dynasty and betrayed the court. They were nothing.Without the protection of Song Dynasty and the tolerance of the officials, they are so humble that a small official can easily ruin their family.

There are endless quarrels every day in countless tear-washed families.The wives and concubines are noisy every day, asking why the husband is so greedy, why is it not good to pay taxes honestly?Is the family short of the taxes paid to the court?Fortunately, the imperial court has settled down and will soon confiscate the entire family's property.Letting go of the heavenly life in Suzhou and Hangzhou, he went to the miasma-ridden place in the south of the Five Ridges to be the most humble head of Guizhou.

The sons and daughters also complained constantly, looking at their fathers and uncles with disappointment in their eyes.They selectively forgot the life of rich clothes and good food in the past, and only puzzled remained.Ninety percent of the output from the fields is owned by the family. How did the previous generation imagine that they would rather die than sell one to the court.How can one be greedy and stupid to such an extent?

Even the older generation sighed angrily, wishing they could yell at Lizi a few times.I don't think it's because I haven't educated my offspring well, but I'm paranoid that I didn't choose the right heir to take over the family.

All of this can be attributed to one word, regret it.

If they can do it again, they will definitely choose to pay taxes honestly and behave in a down-to-earth manner.

From now on, they will never dare to hide Tian Ren no matter what, let alone confront the court.

But even if they have a heart of repentance, they still have to face the court's will to purge them.

When the majestic eyes of the imperial court looked at this place, it was like a mountain that instantly crushed countless once arrogant and arrogant families.

The rich families on Zhejiang East Road were hit hard in one fell swoop, most of the scholar-bureaucrat families were confiscated, and the whole family was exiled to Lingnan.

And that's just the beginning of it all.

Wherever the emperor's majestic gaze went, there was blood on the oars.Batch after batch of corrupt officials were purged, and the entire officialdom was in turmoil.

The officials of the Song Dynasty, who had never had such a horrible experience, were so frightened that they did not dare to take half a step beyond the thunder pool, and the government of the world was completely cleared up.

The lazy and corrupt ethos of the literati and bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty has undergone significant changes, replaced by chilling and duty, and even the pragmatic style has been strengthened.Under the will of iron and blood, officials chose to bow their heads to deal with government affairs, rather than raise their chins to talk in a high-profile manner.

Integrity has once again become a quality admired by officials.

And what made Zhao Huan most relieved was that the scholar-bureaucrat class, who had always been arrogant and arrogant to him since time travel, was extremely destroyed in this national policy of purging righteousness, and almost lost all the arrogance and pride of the past. high spirits.

From the moment Zhao Huan traveled to the Song Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrat class has been fighting against him all the time, hindering and restricting his various decisions.They are even more stubborn and arrogant in all aspects, and want the entire country, countless soldiers and civilians, trillions of people, and even the imperial power to give way to their privileges.

Even if the entire country and the world are sacrificed, their interests must be guaranteed.It even asked hundreds of millions of people to feed them with blood-sucking parasitism, supporting 10 of them to live and die, and put the country in danger, and put all the people in the world in dire straits.

Countless times, before the court made any decisions, their privileges and interests had to be prioritized.Even if the country is facing a crisis, at the time of life and death, the frontline army has been completely wiped out, and reinforcements are urgently needed to stabilize the defense line.

But in order to ensure the rich clothes and food of the literati and bureaucrats, they could only stay in the capital after they were drunk and dreamed of death.

Soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country are like dust.But the scholar-bureaucrats corrupted the country in the rear, spending money like water.

Zhao Huan had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and it wasn't that he didn't feel anything, but he suppressed the uneasy feeling in his chest for the time being, and waited for this day to come.

Finally, this happy ending, accompanied by Zhao Huan's resolute will, shrouded the shoulders of the scholar-bureaucrats.

A speck of dust from the times completely crushed all the arrogance and arrogance of the scholar-bureaucrats. The scholar-official class, which has always been invincible, finally suffered a crushing defeat in front of the imperial power, and it was extremely tragic.

Tens of thousands of officials were massacred, and countless of the most arrogant and arrogant families were uprooted and exiled for thousands of miles to develop Lingnan.

This may be the goal of the entire feudal dynasty, which countless emperors wanted to achieve but failed to achieve in their lives.

And at this moment, Zhao Huan finally cleared away the most stubborn force that had been restricting him all this time.No one can influence the decisions he makes, let alone hold him back.

I am the country, these four words have become the most authentic reality.

Zhao Huan was finally able to implement the new policy of enriching the country and strengthening the army completely according to his own will without any constraints.

And not only in terms of court decision-making, but also in more realistic and specific aspects, Zhao Huan also gained amazing wealth in this purge.

It can be said that a class of scholar-bureaucrats fell, enriched the entire country, and liberated tens of millions of people!
