The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1869 Killing is for Deterrence
"Why does Miao Xun have anything else to do?" After Zhao Kuangyin ordered all the things, there was only one person left, and that was Miao Xun. Could it be that Miao Xun had other things to do, or else he wouldn't have left.

"Your Majesty, can I ask for a favor?" Miao Xun said cautiously.

"If you want to intercede with Zhao Pu, I advise you not to speak up, because this is impossible, and you should not be stubborn. You are the clearest about what crime Zhao Pu committed, and there is no room for maneuver."

Zhao Kuangyin refused straight away, interceding with Zhao Pu, that would not work, not to mention Zhao Pu's own crimes, the fact that he pulled down a large number of officials would not allow Zhao Kuangyin to spare him, and he also colluded with Khitan again, now Tao Gu He confessed everything, he was the one who brought the plague, which caused heavy losses to the Song army.

Let the Song Dynasty break the pillars in the north, and Hu Yanzan died there. Then how can Zhao Kuangyin forgive him, and send someone to the palace on the birthday of the emperor to abdicate the emperor? This is a typical rebellion. How can Zhao Kuangyin tolerate it? Let him go, the officials involved are not good, they are all the elites of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin is really heartbroken, heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Pu deserves to die, but all his relatives don't need to be punished so severely. Some people were not taken care of by Zhao Pu at all, but they were implicated because of Zhao Pu's affairs. Isn't that a little bit?"

Miao Xun knew that it was useless to intercede with Zhao Pu, so he didn't intercede with Zhao Pu, he wanted to intercede with some irrelevant people, such as Zhao Pu's distant relatives, who were all implicated by Zhao Pu.

"Miao Xun, you don't need to say anything, I understand what you mean, but the country's laws and regulations cannot be changed at any time, otherwise the laws and regulations are of no use. Anyone who violates the law will be severely punished. It is also a deterrent method of the law to make people in the future afraid, don't you understand this?"

Let’s not talk about the protection of the weak by the law. Punishment of crimes must be done. Otherwise, what would the law do, especially for the crime of treason?

"I know you said that many people are innocent. What I did was to make other people think about the consequences before committing rebellion. Otherwise, the people behind will be worse off than them. It will cost them a hundred times more. "

Setting a negative example so that people who come later will be afraid is not a way. This is also what Zhao Kuangyin wants to save more people from dying in the future. To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like killing one If people's words can save more people, then this deal is a good deal.

"Miao Xun, let's clean up the officials in the court recently. Those who have been found out before, as long as their crimes are not serious, warn them. If the crime is serious, hand it over to Yousi for questioning. Anyway, it has already caused a shock in the court. Why not directly Let's have a bloodbath."

"Will His Majesty's actions cause greater turmoil in the court? I'm afraid it's not the time for HIA. I think we can wait until the frontier is stabilized before making plans."

Hearing that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to exchange blood for the court, Miao Xun was taken aback. After all, how many officials in the court had clean asses? Unstable, now the court can no longer be chaotic.

"My big change of blood does not mean that all these people are replaced. Even if this group is replaced, can you guarantee that the new batch of officials will not have such problems. All I just give them is a warning to keep them in their place."

Zhao Kuangyin paused, and then continued: "I don't expect real officials to be clean and honest, but they can't become huge corrupt. They must handle facts for the people. I don't want those officials who only know how to form cliques for personal gain. Miao Xun, you have to learn from them." As a warning."

If Zhao Xu were here, he would definitely give Zhao Kuangyin a thumbs-up. His views are advanced. His officials can be corrupt, but they can't become huge corrupt, and they have to do practical things for the people.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Zhao Kuangyin understands this truth. It is impossible to eradicate corruption. Human nature is greedy, and it is impossible to guard against it. Zhao Kuangyin himself can't do anything about it.

"Your Majesty understands what your Majesty means. You must, under the condition of stabilizing the court, change the court to a clear one."

"Okay, now the only person around me who can lead a hundred officials is you Miao Xun, I hope you don't let me down, if you want to become a character like Zhuge Liang, I will give you this platform, you are better than other times, don't you know How many times, what I want is your ability to govern the country."

Zhao Kuangyin knew about Miao Xun, Zhuge Liang was his ancestor, he always wanted to surpass Zhuge Liang, but now the situation is much better than Zhuge Liang's at that time.

With such a platform, is it not easy to be famous in history? The key is that you have to do it with your heart.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty Long En, and I will definitely die after I die."

Miao Xun was very happy, this was even better than when the ancestor met Zhuge Liang back then, I don't know how many times luckier than the ancestor, I will definitely become more famous than now, this can be regarded as the fulfillment of one of my current wishes.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is injured, and the guards are catching the assassin." The eunuch came in to report.

"What's going on, let me go and see who is so courageous, dare to assassinate at this time, and pass the decree, whoever catches the assassin will be rewarded regardless of life or death." In order to catch the assassin, Zhao Kuangyin took out a The title of Lord Marquis.

"According to the order, His Majesty has ordered that whoever catches an assassin, regardless of whether he lives or dies, he will be made a Marquis and rewarded." The eunuch shouted loudly to the outside.

When the guards outside heard this, they were even more happy. It was their duty to catch the assassin, but now they are rewarded with generous rewards. They are very motivated!

"What's the matter with Xu'er, who hurt you, you are so courageous, I have already made an order, this assassin will not survive, the overall situation is already settled, and dare to commit murder in the palace, I am really impatient."

Zhao Xu was lying on the bed. In fact, the real wound was not that serious, but everyone was worried about him, and the imperial physician was also treating him.

"Father, we are in serious trouble, but there is a mysterious figure beside us, we must be careful, I don't know his identity."

Then Zhao Xu told what happened today, and Zhao Kuangyin understood that that person is the one who controls everything behind the scenes. This person is too scary. I don't know what is secretly asking you to bite. This is the scariest thing.
