Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 835
Li Qingzhao looked at the slightly anxious Emperor Song, and knew where the anxiety in the heart of this ambitious emperor came from. She smiled and said in relief: "They are not worthy of being friends of the Song Dynasty, but the officials should not be anxious." , Take one step and look at three steps, the official family has become more and more mature, and the great Song Zhongxing is unstoppable."

"I just know how to say something nice, can you tell me if this decision is feasible?" Zhao Huan shook his head and smiled.

Zhao Huan did not forget the classic segment in "Zou Ji satirizes the king of Qi and accepts advice", that is, he is obviously ugly, but he insists on making people say he is beautiful.

I obviously didn't do well, and I don't have the wisdom of others. Let this coping have the best of both worlds, and accept the praise with peace of mind. That is no different from Zhao Ji. Sooner or later, he will be blinded by the flowers and ignore the stench below.

Li Qingzhao thought for a while and said: "The concubine thinks it can be decided at a later time. Mr. Zhao should be able to control the situation very well. Those tribes can be saved, which tribes can't be saved, and which tribes can't be saved. The materials were given to Mr. Zhao, so that he can rely on It depends on the situation, after all we are tens of thousands of miles away from Mobei."

"Let's go, let's go to Chongde Gate." Zhao Huan suddenly grabbed Li Qingzhao's hand and walked towards Chongde Gate.

Today is the day when Zongze finally handed over Ezhou punishment officials to Beijing. Zongze did not violate his promise and escorted all the criminals to Beijing on the day before the Chinese New Year.

It is also one of the reasons why Zhao Huan stayed in the Wende Palace instead of Yanfu Palace to see the puppet made of medicine.

Setting off firecrackers during the New Year is the custom of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Huan's purpose of sticking to Bianjing City at the beginning was to let the fireworks of the Great Song Dynasty continue to bloom in this city in the years to come.

But today, in front of the Chongyang Gate in Bianjing, there are two whips and tens of thousands of firecrackers hanging, quietly waiting for the Ezhou convoy to escort the prisoners to Beijing, and the people waiting on both sides of the Royal Street have already prepared chickens. Even vegetable leaves, to welcome these officials who are trapped in the fire and water of the people of Ezhou.

In order to prevent disturbing the order, the yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion had to mobilize a large number of manpower to prevent the people from venting their anger.

Of course, in Zhao Huan's view, this is suspected of flaunting one's wealth. The act of throwing eggs at a prisoner is not flaunting one's wealth.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, the convoy stepped into Chongyang Gate. The common people threw stones in their hands vigorously, trying to kill the criminals in the cage. The Jinghu navy survived.

Entering Beijing with full armor will be punished according to the crime of treason. The Jinghu navy enters Beijing without armor and is handed over to Kaifeng Mansion.

The convoy was very long, but it did not stop the people of Bianjing from joining in the fun, and even lit firecrackers fell on the prison car, scaring the prisoners in the car to scurry back and forth.

And this kind of panic also attracted bursts of laughter from the people of Bianjing.

"It's on fire." Li Qingzhao said in surprise, pointing to the crowd watching, pointing to the black smoke.

Zhao Huan nodded, and said with a look of wisdom in his hands: "There are more fireworks and firecrackers in Bianjing these two days. I asked the Hejian Army and the Jiesheng Army to transfer some people to participate in the fire. It should not cause a fire."

This is also a headache for him recently. The Song Dynasty has become more and more prosperous, there are more and more ways to celebrate the New Year, and more and more fireworks are lit. Li Ruoshui, the young governor of Kaifeng, has already made four or five letters , requesting the emperor of the Song Dynasty to prohibit the people from setting off fireworks and firecrackers privately, and to unify them in Jinming Lake.

Zhao Huan has never been popular, always thinking that it is a good thing for the people to celebrate, but Zhao Huan saw today's movement, and knew that it would be impossible not to approve this letter.

Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty is made of wood, and fireworks and firecrackers are set off at will. Fires will inevitably occur. If they are lit at the same place, it will indeed help the security of the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty. If the Jin people did not invade Bianjing, the people of the Great Song Dynasty would burn their own capital Yes, it's a big joke.

Li Qingzhao suddenly thought of the palace celebration program at night and said with a smile: "Today, the palace lanterns woven by the common people have been sent to the palace. The officials have to relax at night and let's go to release the Kongming lanterns together."

Zhao Huan didn't speak, and pointed to the prison car passing by the water transport instrument platform and said: "The first one to come in is Liu Xuan, Zhao Chengyou's master, and also Zhao Chengyou's white gloves. Originally, the first time something happened, he would He was the first to be thrown out and let him take the blame, but unfortunately, Zong Ze moved too fast, and Zhao Chengyou was found out without sufficient preparation at all."

"The one in the back is Cheng Dou, the magistrate of Anxian County, Yongzhou. During the epidemic, he filled his own pockets, colluded with grain merchants, and drove up the price of grain by [-] yuan a bucket. The local people died of starvation, and the number of people who died of hunger was far greater than that of floods. And Zong When Ze led people to arrest this person, they found seven hundred shi of grain in his home, and only then did he know that this person even moved the grain from the Changping warehouse to his home, lest he would starve to death."

"The third person is Nan Yu, a first-class grain merchant in Jinghu Didian, who colluded with Zhao Chengyou to sell grain, and made a lot of money by driving up grain prices. Zongze asked for an order to seize the family property. The number of horses..."

Zong Ze had already sent the case to Bianjing, and Zhao Huan had already read it countless times. He could even explain the crimes of these people clearly without reading the letter.

Li Qingzhao's eyes became more and more surprised. The officials actually remembered the names and crimes of these people clearly.

This was beyond Li Qingzhao's expectation.

Zhao Huan exhaled forcefully, watched the last prison car drive into the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then cursed forcefully: "Inhuman!"

"Don't be angry with the officials. It's not worth being angry for this kind of person." Li Qingzhao comforted the panting official, and she finally understood that the official's saying that the people are the sky is not a verbal slogan, but a real one. Intended to be implemented.

Zhao Huan said angrily: "What makes me angry is that Zong Ze actually interceded for some officials, and did not send some of them to Bianjing, saying that the situation in Jinghu is not stable at the moment, and asked them to atone for their sins, saying that they were forced to Participated in it, and after the arrival of the Jinghu navy, they also actively carried out anti-epidemic and peace of mind."

"What did they do long ago!"

Zhao Huan was extremely indignant about this, but Zong Ze was his appointed person, and he handed over the full authority of the Jinghu Road to Zong Ze. At this moment, he could only be angry, and he would ask Zong Ze carefully when he returned to Beijing for his duties. this matter.

Only then did Li Qingzhao know what kind of anger the officials had in their hearts. In the final analysis, it was an old-fashioned thing that they would not accept military orders abroad.

She smiled and said: "Officials, ministers and concubines think that only Zong Shaoqing knows about Jinghu, since Zong Shaoqing keeps them, it proves that he needs these people to stay and do things. "

Looking at the setting sun, Zhao Huan had already stood in front of the Wufeng Building of Chongdemen for more than an hour before he knew it. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the whole Bianjing golden yellow. As the crowd gradually dispersed, The sudden silence made Zhao Huan intoxicated by the setting sun, filled with a kind of prosperity and serenity.

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Of course I understand this truth. I hate those people for not being punished! Some time ago, Zong Shaoqing was listed on the list of escorts and returned to Beijing. I really want to go to Ezhou to see if there are still people who slipped through the net." Zhiyu was stopped by the courtiers. If I get to the ground, I will chop them all up!"

"Haha!" Li Qingzhao finally couldn't hold it back, and smiled happily. She praised the official's maturity just now, but the official was still like a child.

In governing the country, where there is a simple one-size-fits-all approach, that is lazy governance.
