King of Song

Chapter 484 Difficulties
Bianjing, vertical arch hall!

Emperor Zhao Xu sat silently on the dragon chair, a little worried, the cause was several memorials and one incident.

A few days ago, he received a memorandum from Han Qi, the Procuratorate of Hebei Road, from the Daming House.

Han Qi reported that his nephew Han Qi and Bozhou Tong Judge Fan Jiyun and others reclaimed land from the lake and built cofferdams, which caused the Yellow River to flow poorly, which was one of the triggering factors for the breach.For this reason, he pleaded guilty to the imperial court and the emperor. One was the highest official of Hebei Road, and his control over the government was not strict, so that he failed to find out the problem in time, and he did not investigate in detail after the incident. He was guilty of negligence.

Then Han Xianggong said sadly that it was his uncle's fault that his nephew Han Jun was involved, and his education was not strict, so that he made a big mistake.However, Han Xianggong also revealed between the lines that he had no intention of covering up, and that he had just discovered the matter, so he reported it to the court in time to show justice.It can be said that both public and private expressions are comprehensive.Coupled with Han Xianggong's sophistication, the writing and words are very ingenious, and a memorial can be impeccable.

Zhao Xu laughed!

What report, do you really think I'm stupid?It is very possible that Han Jun didn't know about these things at first, but after the accident, Han Qi didn't know either?Zhao Xu didn't believe it.Han Qi didn't have the heart to cover up, hehe, would the old and serious Mr. Han be overlooked?Zhao Xu just smiled lightly. If Han Qi wanted to make a report, then this report should have been sent to the imperial court long ago.

At this time, it is a bit late to jump out to report, to plead guilty, and to pretend to be impartial and selfless, to kill relatives righteously, it is a bit late, pretending!Zhao Xu knew very well that Han Qi must have been overwhelmed by Lin Zhao's actions on Hebei Road, and he had to do this when the paper couldn't contain the fire.

Lin Zhao still has a few tricks, and he is able to force Han Xianggong to this point without making a sound, which is considered capable and capable!As for Han Qi's memorial, Zhao Xu planned to accept it with a smile.

After all, Han Xianggong is a meritorious minister, why should he chase after him?After this incident, he must have no face to continue to be an official in the court. The memorial also stated that he would take the blame and resign from office, and asked the emperor to come down!There is no need to convict, it is perfectly possible to become an official, this is the purpose, and now that it has been achieved, Zhao Xu is very satisfied, this is enough!
When punishing, the whip can be raised high and beaten down lightly, so as to save face for Mr. Han and let him leave the political stage with dignity.Even Han Jun can let it go, so everyone is happy.The plan to attack veterans remains the same, but it can't go too far, so as not to chill people's hearts!

I thought the matter would be resolved satisfactorily, but before I was happy for a moment, the emergency memorial from Li Ru, the magistrate of Bozhou, came again.He claimed to have investigated and dealt with the evidence that Han Jun, Fan Jiyun and others had reclaimed land from the lake together with Lin Zhao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Very good, if the stolen goods are obtained together, and the evidence is convincing, the public can be convinced, and only in this way can Han Xianggong voluntarily succumb.

But when he saw the text behind, he was stunned.

Li Ru made it very clear that when he and Lin Shilang led the soldiers of the Xiang army to search, there was a flood.Lin Zhao had already come to the memorial before, and mentioned that some Xiang army soldiers would be used, otherwise the situation would not be under control.Zhao Xu expressed his understanding of this, and Lin Zhao has the right to do things cheaply, so he can do so.There are more than a thousand Xiang troops in the hinterland states and counties. They are not afraid that something will happen to him. Although it is not in accordance with the system, they can be flexible.

The flood was so severe that more than 3000 Xiang army soldiers and refugees were drowned. He and Lin Zhao also narrowly escaped death. The death and injury of more than 3000 people is definitely a shocking event, which shocked the whole country.

If it's a natural disaster, it's fine, and there will be nothing but mourning.But this time it turned out to be a man-made disaster!
Li Ru made it very clear that it was Han Jun, Fan Jiyun and others who deliberately broke the embankment and caused the flood, hoping to drown Lin Shilang and destroy the evidence.In the end, he was caught on the spot, and the stolen goods were obtained.

Han Jun and Fan Jiyun... Zhao Xu was furious and threw the memorial on the ground, two idiots!
But more than 3000 lives, they are too bold.

No matter what, as the emperor of Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu would definitely not tolerate such behaviors that casually hurt his people!Han Jun and Fan Jiyun have reached the point where both humans and gods are indignant, and the law of nature cannot tolerate it. It is certain that Zhao Xu will be furious.

At the same time, Zhao Xu also deeply felt that the two sons were really stupid, and it could even be said that they were beyond stupid!One can imagine their mentality of breaking the embankment, but they don't seem to have considered the consequences, and they didn't even think about the stakes before and after.One is Han Xianggong's nephew, and the others are also honored descendants. The fathers are all ministers of the dragon during the Yingzong period.

Even if there is a matter of reclamation of lakes and land, an explanation must be given to the world. The punishment is certain, but it will not be very serious.A certain degree of forgiveness can be given by thinking about the achievements of their parents.After all, the Yellow River floods are mainly natural disasters, and man-made disasters are only a small triggering factor.As far as the previous situation of the Ergu River is concerned, there will definitely be problems, and sooner or later it will be refurbished. This time it is also an opportunity.

The punishment for them only needs to serve as an example to deter Hebei.As far as Zhao Xu is concerned, this time about the Hebei Road matter, on the one hand the river governance matter, there is another one, Han Xianggong, beating the old minister.These have already been done, so he doesn't mind making an exception in other areas.

But the two idiots Han Jun and Fan Jiyun did such a thing, which suddenly created a problem for him and made him angry.Three thousand lives are not a joke, they must all be citizens of the Great Song Dynasty, so it is natural to feel distressed.This matter will inevitably cause an uproar, the ministers will inevitably criticize violently, and the common people will definitely be willing.

At this time, I must come out to uphold justice and give my subjects an explanation.Only in this way, Han Jun, Fan Jiyun and others must deal with it seriously, otherwise it will not be enough to quell public grievances, but in this way, it will definitely affect their original intention.It dealt a severe blow to Han Qi and other subordinates.

It's a very contradictory question, but Han Jun and others have to blame themselves. It's really no one else's fault!It's your nephew who is too stupid, Mr. Han, so don't blame me!
Punishment is one aspect, but at the same time appeasement is needed.After all, Lin Zhao, Li Ru and others were also frightened, and fortunately they escaped by chance, otherwise the matter would have been even more serious.The two did their best, Lin Zhao did a good job in this matter, and Li Ru was not too young, so naturally they both needed to be appeased and rewarded.

But don't worry, wait until Lin Zhao's memorial arrives. It's better to put these things together.When something like this happened, Lin Zhao, the arbitrary minister of river governance, would definitely have some opinions. We also need to see what he means when dealing with this matter.

Zhao Xu originally thought that Lin Zhao would also write a letter. In addition to describing the content, he would also give suggestions on how to deal with it.But I never expected that before Lin Zhao's memorial, I waited for an extremely shocking news!

Lin Zhao didn't write a letter, but directly killed a group of criminals in Bozhou and directly dealt with them.Zhao Xu's first reaction was that Lin Zhao killed and retaliated because his life was threatened and because of the large number of casualties in Qingshuize.This is understandable, and it may not be easy for Lin Zhaosheng to endure this.

It's just that he doesn't seem to be such an impulsive person, but this time he was not impulsive at all, even a little outrageous.To kill is to kill, but the method is not beheading, but trampling on horses, leaving no bones left.

Did the Song Dynasty have such a punishment?How did Lin Zhao come up with such a cruel and inhumane stepping on horses?Didn't he think about the consequences of doing so?

Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao, why are you so impulsive?Isn't this trying to get me into trouble?I thought the previous problem could be solved, but now it has become two problems.

Zhao Xu was a little displeased. If Han Jun and Fan Jiyun were stupid, then what should Lin Zhao be?impulse?Daredevil?
But did Lin Zhao really do something wrong?

At least in form, it seems correct, Lin Zhao has this power.With the sword in hand and the arbitrary power to govern the river, you can do things cheaply.As long as it has something to do with Zhihe, he can make up his own mind, cut first and play later.

Now that he has indeed done so, he is using the power he has given him, which seems to make sense.And before leaving, he told him that the people on Hebei Road, except for Han Qi, can be dealt with by him at will.Lin Zhao did nothing wrong, he was following orders.But Zhao Xu also felt that the delegation of power was too much!
It's just that the method is a bit too extreme, and the result is also a bit...

Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao, and Zhao Xu were also quite speechless for a while, not knowing how to evaluate, only a long sigh.

Alas, there is a lot of excitement in the hall now, troublesome!The implementation of the new law has not yet been settled, and there is another disturbance in the matter of river regulation?It is inevitable for officials to quarrel. At the end of the day, you have to express your own opinion on any matter. What should be your attitude on this matter?
Even if Han Jun and others are guilty, should they be punished?The method of execution is too tragic. Can the ministers in the court and Mr. Han in the Daming Mansion accept such a fact?How will they react?

appease them?How to appease him, he has already been killed by Lin Zhao, how can he easily appease him?Furthermore, they themselves made mistakes first, if they were appeased, wouldn't all their plans be in vain?It is also contrary to morality and righteousness, and it seems not appropriate.

To punish Lin Zhao?It seems unreasonable, after all, Lin Zhao has made meritorious service, and has not violated the court's law.What crime should be used to punish him?But his methods were indeed ill-considered.

Ugh!
How to deal with this matter?What should I stand for?If you don't have any ideas, you will be led by the nose by the ministers after going to court.

You have given me a problem!For a while, Zhao Xu was in a dilemma!
