The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1893 Zhao Pu's Ending
"The emperor has a decree that all future meritorious officials who do not restrain family slaves or condone family slaves to do evil and evil will be guilty of the same crime."

People with titles in Bianjing and the ministers in the court received this imperial decree from Zhao Kuangyin at the same time. They did not expect that Zhao Kuangyin would attach so much importance to it. Such a strict imperial decree and the same crime have never been done before.

"You have all heard that His Majesty the Emperor has issued a decree. From now on, you all have to be honest with me. Otherwise, whoever provokes me in the future, you can settle it yourself."

"Listen clearly, this time the court is serious, let me know that you will not be able to gain a reputation when you go out in the future, and I will tear you apart."

"Be careful when you go out in the future, be a man of duty, don't use my cover to do bad things in Bianjing, or you will be expelled from the mansion."

The dignitaries in Bianjing have begun to warn their families that the rumors are tight recently, don't play with fire, otherwise don't blame them for being ruthless.

Don't you say that after this incident, the atmosphere in Bianjing has improved a lot, and there is no one like Zhu Laosan anymore. As for Zhu Laosan, no one has seen him again, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. But that dead face is big, and he didn't care about his life or death.

However, a dead body dragged by wild dogs was found in the mass burial. According to the people who saw it, it was Zhu Laosan. As for Zhu Laosan's owner, Li Yu, he has been very low-key recently.

Hou Zhi became the founder of the country directly from disobedience. This is punishment. Everyone thinks that Li Yu is going to be unlucky, but good news spread that the emperor specially invited him to a meal.

Then the emperor ordered Li Yu to be responsible for compiling the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It seemed that the emperor wanted to give Li Yu a chance to be famous in history, otherwise he would not have given him such an errand.

"How did Zhu Laosan handle this? This kid must not be alive. I just want to know where he is now?" Zhao Kuangyin still cared about such trivial matters.

"He, now the dead body has been exposed in the wilderness. This guy is actually richer than Li Yu. He bullied the market and used Li Yu's name. He was thrown into a mass grave."

Will Zhao Xu let Zhu Laosan go? If he dares to think about his own woman, will he let him go?For the honor of the royal family, he could not be executed publicly. He was tortured for a while before he died. This was the first time Zhao Xu personally tortured a person, and he was tortured to death alive.

"I'm richer than Li Yu. I don't know how there are so few people in Bianjing. How many people like Yang Laosan are there in the whole world, and there are more people in the government. Everyone will compete with the people for profit."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned at this thought. To be honest, as the emperor, his perspective is different. From the incident of Zhu Laosan, he thought that there are many such people in the world, and there are many officials' family members and children. Doing business and competing for profits with the people.

They have privileges because they have an advantage over ordinary people, but what I want to see is not what Zhao Kuangyin wants to see.

"No, I won't allow such a thing to happen. I have decided to prohibit the family members of officials from engaging in business. I cannot compete with the people for profit."

Zhao Kuangyin slammed his fist heavily on the table and refused to allow the official's family members to do business. This was a bit too advanced. Zhao Xu was also stunned. Isn't Zhao Kuangyin's thinking a bit advanced!

"But if this is the case, will those officials agree?" Zhao Xu knew that this was a good thing, but the interests involved were too great, and those officials would never agree.

"If they don't agree, then they can take the initiative to resign, either to be an official or not to be an official. I only give them these two choices. Who dare not listen to me!"

Is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's minister on the shore of the land, who dare not listen to the emperor, if the emperor wants you to live, you will live, if the emperor wants you to die, you will die.

"Father, it may be more expensive to do this. If we don't enter the tiger, we will take it step by step. First, the family members of officials above the third rank are not allowed to intervene in business, and then expand to the fifth rank. Finally, as long as they are above the seventh rank, they will never intervene. For business, we just need to take it step by step, so that we don’t have to cause such a big disturbance.”

Do it in sections to prevent the emergence of extreme measures. At the same time, you can also see what you all think about this matter?
Unlike Zhao Kuangyin's direct use of orders, even if they agree on the surface, they will definitely do some small tricks behind the scenes to separate themselves from the court. Don't underestimate the power of money, so it's better to be careful.

Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a while, then sat on the throne for a long time before saying:

"Let's do it like this for the time being. By the way, go and see Zhao Pu. It doesn't make sense for him to be locked up in the death row. Bring him something, and I've done him a favor."

Zhao Xu saw a small bottle on the table. Needless to say, Zhao Xu knew what it was. It was time for Zhao Pu to come to an end after being locked up for so long.

"It's been a long time since I had such a hearty meal, and the wine is really fragrant. To be honest, I've never had such a good wine."

Zhao Pu's current appearance is indeed a bit embarrassing, yes, it is indeed not bad to be able to look like this in prison for such a long time, at least he can still see his original appearance.

"Why, there are people here who dare to bully you. Even if you are in the prison, you have already been ordered to meet all your requirements. Does this mean that the jailer is disobedient?"

"That's not true. It's just that I'm a sinner now, and I can still enjoy so much treatment there. I also enjoyed the glory and wealth in the first half of my life. I am enough to be a first-class one. Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to see me today."

Looking at the sumptuous meal, Zhao Pu already understood in his heart that it was time for him to go on the road after staying for so long.

"Zhao Pu was a scholar when you came to join our father and son. I'm afraid you would never have imagined that you would have such a great achievement in the future, right?"

Zhao Xu said with emotion.

"The world is unpredictable. At that time, I only thought about being able to show my ambitions and do something for the common people in the world. In the end, I became a hero who founded the country. My revenge has been fulfilled. I will die without regret."

Zhao Pu has been the prime minister for many years, and many policies are based on his ideas, and he has fulfilled his wish.

"But I was gradually fascinated by power, and finally wanted more power, which led to today's situation, but I don't regret it."

Zhao Pu is still relatively stubborn and refuses to admit his mistakes. Such a person is too self-righteous, otherwise can he become like this?
"Oh, it's all in vain in the end, Zhao Pu, don't worry, father didn't destroy your nine clans, but your family was also exiled, but you don't have such good luck, this glass of wine is my farewell for you, Because it’s not in vain that we got to know each other!”

Zhao Xu left after drinking the glass of wine, and then left a bottle on the table. Zhao Pu looked at it for a long time, then without any hesitation, and finally drank it all in one gulp.

"Haha, my life, Zhao Pu, is worth it, hahaha."
