I am Da Song

The mournful howls beside the salt field echoed in the wilderness.

Amidst the wailing, the people who had suffered for a long time shed tears of excitement. How many years of suffering, how many years of hardship, finally got their revenge today!

But Zhao Huan didn't treat them with a friendly face, but said with a serious expression: "Stand up! I don't rely on feudal ranks, and rule the country with common etiquette. All the people in the Song Dynasty should stand upright, and everyone should be like a dragon."

"What I am most gratified about is that since Jingkang, all races in the world, all over the world, have been frightened by the Jurchen's lust and surrendered to the Jurchen, offering wealth for their enjoyment, and giving their wives and daughters to their lustful pleasures. Only the people in my court stand upright and steadfast. Unyielding, fight to the death!"

"Even if the officials are gentle and fierce, and even if the high-ranking people are already weak, the common people hold up the whole world and dominate the direction of the country. The emergence of the imperial student Chen Dong, the folk hero Li Bao, and the loyal officers Yue Fei and Zhang Xian and other countless grassroots heroes of the Great Song Dynasty changed the destiny of the entire country from bottom to top."

"So, you can control your own destiny and even the destiny of the country! You don't have to kneel to anyone."

The common people stood up from the ground in bewilderment. They couldn't even fight against a powerful and evil gentry, but they could control the fate of the country?An ordinary official can make them suffer a lot, how can they break the shackles on the top of their heads and stand upright?
Zhao Huan walked to the middle of the crowd and picked up a skinny child in front of him. He was completely black, barefoot, and his clothes were tattered and dirty. Only his eyes were still bright, full of young people's curiosity about the world, and he didn't understand what happened. .

His parents had already died in misery and illness, and behind him was only his grandfather in his 50s, hunched over and helpless.

Zhao Huan said to the old man: "I know that the Song Dynasty still has many problems and is not perfect. In places I can't see, the evil of human nature leads to many injustices."

"But I believe that this country still has justice in the world, as well as the justice and people's hearts that I implement! Most people can clearly distinguish right from wrong."

"The tyrannical and evil gentry may be able to run rampant on one side, but they absolutely cannot discredit the justice and fairness of the entire country!"

"The country's officials are all from school students, from every family of the common people, unlike in the West where they are all from the nobility, and there is a huge gap between them and the common people. I believe that as long as the common people can report things layer by layer, they will There must be officials who will uphold justice and uphold the fairness of the law!"

"If the county level is unfair, then go to the state. If the state level is unfair, then go to the road. If the road is not fair, then go to Tokyo and beat the rumor drum."

"In this world, there will not be a judiciary that is so powerful that officials and gentry can deceive the whole world!"

"As long as I still rule this country, the imperial court will not be afraid of facing shortcomings, and will definitely restore justice to the world, and the world will be bright and bright!"

The old man was deeply shocked on the spot, and murmured: "The government... I wait... Can the attitude of the grassroots people represent the justice in the world?"

Zhao Huan nodded solemnly, and said: "Yes! And you must be able! It is your simple feelings and concepts of right and wrong that constitute the righteous laws and the order of our country in the Song Dynasty. If ordinary people think this is wrong, then This matter must be wrong. There must be officials who will stand up and uphold justice. Old man, do you believe it?"

The old man looked around at the bewildered people and the countless workers in ragged clothes. Tears rolled down and he said, "Officials, I believe that justice in the world should not be like this, and the people should not go round and round without rest. Officials still have a sliver of justice. You won’t admit that people are not as good as livestock!”

Countless people around could no longer suppress their excitement and shouted indignantly: "That's right, we are human beings, not livestock!"

"We are also a member of the Great Song Dynasty. Why do wealthy merchants and gentry enjoy wealth and honor, but we can't rest all day long?"

"Officials, we demand justice! Aren't we the people of Song Dynasty?"

Amid the anger of the crowd, Wu Ge stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Officials, officials from Xiuzhou are here."

Zhao Huan said bitterly: "Let them come here. Let them come face this raging public outrage!"

Soon the army gave way, and a group of Xiuzhou officials, led by the prefect of Xiuzhou, hurriedly came to Zhao Huan.

When the Xiuzhou officials learned that the official family went down the canal without any stop in Jiaxing and went straight to Wuyan, they immediately panicked and rushed over with Yujia, hoping to save the situation.

But when they saw the hooligans who were killed on the road, they were sure that Longyan was furious.

The only option is to rush to the saltworks immediately in order to restore the image in front of the officials as much as possible.

But as soon as they arrived near the salt field, before they had time to prepare to face the situation, they were controlled by the official of the imperial city.

As a result, he was brought to the face of raging public anger in a hurry.

Zhao Huan pointed to a group of officials and said: "I handed over the country and Xiuzhou to you to govern, but you made the people angry! This is the result of your administration for officials!"

Sun He, the magistrate of Xiuzhou, had a numb scalp, a majestic majesty on his head, and the people's opinions below were boiling. He had to cup his hands and said, "Calm down the anger of the officials, minister..."

Zhao Huan directly interrupted all his words and said, "Calm down? Why should I calm down?"

"You just explained everything to me. After all, until now, you still think that a group of people don't care about life and death, and that if I calm down your anger, you can get away with it! It's true that you are bullying your superiors and bullying your inferiors, bullying the weak and fearing the hard."

"I tell you, you are wrong!"

"In my Great Song Dynasty, the common people were never to be bullied. It is these common people, not me, who really determine your fate."

"As long as you can quell the raging public anger and let the people recognize you. You are even innocent and can be promoted on the spot. But if the people don't recognize you, they will still be angry. Even if I am happy now, do you think I will defy the people of the world for you? Resentment, will you not die?"

"Remember! From today onwards, my Song Dynasty officials will change their bad habit of flattering their servants and trampling on the common people. It is the lower-level people, not the upper-level officials, who can really decide your life and death!"

Countless Xiuzhou officials looked at the angry people with pale faces. If these angry people decided their own life and death, wouldn't they be dead?
If this is the case in the future, who would dare not treat the people kindly?

Sun He bit the bullet and said: "This minister will preside over the public trial, and the officials will unanimously select three officials who should be responsible for this matter."

Zhao Huan raised his horsewhip, lashed at Sun He fiercely, and cursed: "Nominated by officials? Even now, you still can't take any responsibility!"

"Do you want a public trial? Or do you want to coerce public opinion?"

"I entrusted Xiuzhou to you to govern, but you don't even understand the basic situation, and you still want to quell the anger of the people?"

"You're not stupid, you're just plain bad!"

"I'm here to watch you. You choose three people to be responsible for this matter, and the officials will nominate them!"
