I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 795 Because I also want to know

The words about Xiang Jing's handling of Xiang Zhongliang, and the crown prince's condolences to Xiang's family were spread in the court through some channels.

Poor Xiang Zhongliang, in the end, he was not a human being.

Even Xiang Jing seems to have lost a lot of points in this incident...~ It made the officials unhappy, and the prince was also unhappy.

What's the trouble with this?

Thank you to Jing, thank the officials for planning the rest of Xiang Zhongliang's life... I will have to rely on Zhao Qin for dinner in the future.

"Don't think too much, Zhong Liang needs to learn a lot from Shopkeeper Zhao, it's useful!"

The prince has no choice but to say so much at most.I was worried that my father-in-law's family really thought that my father was deliberately torturing Zhongliang, so I added this sentence.

However, the crown prince also has his own concerns, if Xiang Zhongliang is not up to the task, he doesn't mind changing someone...~ that doesn't require father's permission.

The private visit to Zhongliang by the official incognito was a trivial matter, or an episode. The real effect of the private visit by the official incognito was first fermented by the officials.

Everything starts from the donation officer...

This time, almost the entire supervisory office of the Guochao was mobilized to investigate the case. Starting from all the state capitals and counties of the Guochao, the resumes of all the officials were checked...~Fan Chunren was ruthless.

Originally, he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, let alone get the command arrow, so he had to check it out.

The list of scientific examinations over the years, several official favors, special performances, etc., including the lists of rewards and vacancies from Dali and Xixia, were also taken away by the supervisory office.

For a while, there was a lot of panic among the officials...

These are all the actions of Zhao Xi and Fu Bi in the past two days out of the city.

No one resisted, because it was a concerted action from the top to the bottom of the supervisory office.

And the supervisory office of the local state capital began to transcribe all the lists of people who received salaries in the local area, and investigated all kinds of titles...～
Things got a little big!

Since the bureaucracy changed to solve the disadvantages of redundant officials in this way, no one cared about the number of officials in the country, nor did they care about titles, assignments, and the like.

As long as the imperial court's hierarchical system is followed and there is no overstepping of duties or powers, local state capitals basically have some idle positions.

So...~
"Officials, the supervision of the yamen has caused chaos in the yamen of the imperial court and even the yamen at all levels of the local state government. If it is not stopped, even the basic government affairs will be affected."

Everyone has protégés and old officials, and Zhang Fangping's words represent the aspirations of the entire cabinet.

Zhao Xi could also see that this time the cabinet came to discuss matters in such an orderly manner, that it came here specifically for the supervision of the yamen.

Even Sima Guang, who has not asked about government affairs for a long time and only devotes himself to compiling history, is among them.

It seems that some people are really scared.

"Oh, let's listen to Mr. Zhang Ge's story. What did the supervisory yamen do to disturb the stability of the entire country?"

This is probably alarmist talk, right?Anyway, Guochao liked to cover hats like this in the early days.

"Officials, from the chief supervisory office of the imperial court to the local prefectures and counties, even in the army, mining towns, workshop cities, the Royal Bank, state-owned industries, etc., all the yamen that receive the imperial salary, the inspectors are checking .”

"As a result, the entire imperial court is panicked and everyone is in danger. Officials at all levels have no interest in government affairs. Every day when they go out, they will say goodbye to their wives, worrying that it will be difficult to return home at night."

"Officials, this situation is almost similar to that of Empress Wu of the previous dynasty. Fan Yaofu is that handsome minister, Zhou Xing!"

Zhang Fangping really lost his temper?Zhao Xi was a little puzzled.

It is said that at the level of the cabinet, there should be no close people who need to donate officials.What is this old man crazy about?

"Prosecutor Fan, how many officials are being imprisoned in the supervisory yamen? How many people have been investigated? What rank and level are they all? And which court yamen are involved?"

Zhao Xi is not clear about the supervision of the Yamen to handle the case.Zhang Fangping is in his [-]s and [-]s, it's not appropriate to slap him in the face.

"Back to the official's house, the supervisory office has not investigated a single person so far, and has never detained any officials and subordinates. As of today, the supervisory office is still comparing the directory, dispatch and salary."

"Chunren would like to ask Mr. Zhang Ge, the directory of the imperial government's yamen and prefectures and counties is only needed when the salary is paid. The inspectors in various places borrow the directory after the salary is paid, so how can it affect government affairs?"

"The supervisory regulations stipulate that supervisors only have the function of investigating cases, and cannot directly punish them. Even if they are found out, they will be handed over to the department to deal with them according to the regulations. How can pure benevolence compare with cruel officials?"

"Could it be that some people disregarded the laws of the Song Dynasty, corrupted the law for personal gain, and committed frauds, so they fabricated charges out of thin air and obstructed the supervisor's handling of the case in order to cover up their crimes?"

Fan Chunren was originally upright.The reason why Ding Mao and Ding Mao did not fight against Zhang Fangping was that his father Fan Zhongyan had a good relationship with Zhang Fangping.

However, this can be regarded as a point.

"Fan Yaofu, you are spitting blood!"

"Enough! Fu Yanguo, my Qinzheng Hall is not a vegetable market. If you continue to quarrel like this, you will take it back to me. Learn how to face the king first!"

How many years have passed, why did the rotten problems of the court have committed?
Zhao Xi wouldn't let them get used to them, not even the veteran who was about to retire.

It seems that the officials have never stripped the face of the ministers like this, have they?The officials have always been very gentle.

Today is...

"Officials, prefectures, prefectures and counties of the state are all recommended and disciples of my cabinet ministers. The supervisory government checks the directory, dispatch and salary, and my cabinet and I have received various private letters."

"The veteran thought that Mr. Zhang Ge must have been bewitched by some private letters, and he was a little outspoken. I also ask the officials to forgive me..."

Fu Bi's words seemed to be explaining for Zhang Fangping, but they also defined Zhang Fangping's behavior.

"The old minister is abrupt, and I hope the officials will punish him!"

Zhang Fangping seemed to have listened to Fu Bi's persuasion... Fu Bi had said this in the cabinet meeting room, but no one took it to heart.

"Officials, in fact, the cabinet and I are entrusted by the court officials, and I want to ask the officials for a letter: the imperial court ordered the supervision of the Yamen to investigate, what exactly is it going to investigate?"

Fu Bi knew about it, but the supervisory office had its own rules, and he knew it because it happened to be a meeting, which didn't mean he could talk nonsense.

Fu Bi knew that officials respected rules, and he followed them very well.

"Yao Fu, then tell our elders, don't really hurt anyone without knowing it!"

Was Zhao Xi angry?Just a little bit, now gone.From what Fu Bi said, it seems that the cabinet still doesn't know the purpose of this inspection.

"The supervisory yamen is acting according to the order. This investigation aims to investigate and deal with the chaos of donating officials in violation of the imperial court's regulations."

Fan Chunren has one thing to say, since the officials let it be said, it means that there is authorization, so it can be said.

"Since it is only to investigate and deal with donated officials, why do you want to make the whole country go crazy? Such an investigation, as if my officials in the Song Dynasty were all donated by money..."

Not mentioning the purpose, just talking about the method, this is the style of Sima Guang who is very good at debating.

"There is no need to discuss any more, because I also want to know how many officials the imperial court supports and why they got them!"
