Speaking of the problems of the Song Dynasty, countless people talked about it.

Among the three redundant ones, there is a redundant official, which refers to the disadvantages of too many officials.

In order to resettle these officials, Dasong created many seemingly unnecessary positions, and of course the expenses were much higher, resulting in redundant expenses.

Two of the three redundant items are related to redundant officials. It seems that the crime is extremely serious, but redundant officials bring one advantage, that is, to curb corruption.

For example, there is a magistrate under the prefect. In addition to his job, the magistrate also has an important responsibility to monitor the magistrate.

The official positions of the Song Dynasty were superimposed layer by layer, and no one could imagine that they could cover up the sky with one hand, which also led to the increasing difficulty of corruption.

Another important tool to curb corruption is the censor.

These people have the right to report the news, and impeaching officials is a merit, so they all want to defeat a prime minister to pave their own official path.

This is the double insurance that the Song Dynasty suppressed corruption. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to be broken through on a large scale unless it is rotten from top to bottom.

"The Daming Mansion has rotted from top to bottom. The magistrate Liu Xian, who was originally the supervisor of the corruption case, was the main culprit. Jiang Wei, the prosecutor below, was also a member of this small group... They colluded with the grain merchants, and the grain merchants swallowed the grain, and they got the money, and the account books were made without leaking..."

Shen An's voice was very low, "In this case, I can only use thunderbolt means to open the case. So I arrested people, and after torture, those people confessed... I can only feel at ease if the confessions of several parties are correct."

If you don't match it, you may be a traitor.

Zhao Shu nodded slightly, thinking that this young man finally knew the right way. If he was wrong, he would not be able to protect Shen An.

"Then why do you want to kill someone?"

Zhao Shu's expression cleared a little, thinking about how to deal with Shen An's affairs.

The people shouted that they wanted Shen An to lose his official position and give him a title, and the family was sent to Qiongzhou.

Zhao Shu just wanted to slap him in the face.

But Shen An killed people illegally and did not deal with them, where is the law?

This is the main reason why those people are fearless.

Let's speak with the law!

Or... let Shen An go to the southwest to become an official?

No no no no.

Go to Guangzhou?

The Maritime Warehouse Department over there used to be good, better than the Hangzhou Maritime Warehouse Department. But since Su Yan went to the Hangzhou Maritime Warehouse Department, the Hangzhou Maritime Warehouse Department has gone up step by step, but has compared Guangzhou.

If Shen An went to Guangzhou, what miracle could he create?

I'm very curious!

He glanced at Shen An and smiled when he saw that he was still calm.

Young people always think that the world belongs to them, but in fact, this world belongs to those old guys.

"I cannot help but kill them."

Shen An looked up, "Before the money and food for disaster relief were allocated, the victims were sick and starved to death..."

This is a miracle.

Zhao Shu nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction.

Under the real natural disaster, people were hungry everywhere, and life at that time was just a number.

"After the disaster relief money and food were allocated to Daming Mansion, 352 people died of cold and starvation... Your Majesty... With the money and food in place, the disaster victims... 352 people! I wish I could cut them alive!"

Shen An really wanted to cut them alive, but the first thing he couldn't find was someone with this kind of skill... In the century of the Song Dynasty, skinning and solid grass never happened.

Second, he knew that he could not do this, otherwise he would have to be careful of being stabbed when walking on the street.

It’s impossible for us to have to put steel plates on the street, right?

So he chose the simplest beheading.

A person loses his head, which is equivalent to losing his soul.

Therefore, people in this era are extremely afraid of being beheaded.

In their eyes, Chen An's behavior of building Jingguan was a devil, so he was out of place.

"More than three hundred people?"

Zhao Shu was in a daze, then beat the seat and roared: "How dare those beasts! How dare they abuse the people like this! How dare they..."

Han Qi said murderously: "It's time to kill, it's time to kill!"

Zeng Gongliang was furious, "This is a careless person's life, no, this is a deliberate murder!"

"The victims should have food and clothing, but they are hungry and cold because of them..." Ouyang Xiu sighed with tears.

"This is to be fearless!" Bao Zheng said angrily: "The biggest mistake is to send a disposal. How can this shock those officials? I think it should be revised to revise the law, and kill all those corruption!"

Bang!

An eunuch next to him was shocked by Bao Zheng's murderous words, and the thing in his hand fell to the ground.

Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and said, "The evidence is conclusive."

Chen An took out a bag and handed it over, "It's all in it."

The direct data of corruption are all included, including confessions and concealments.

Zhao Shu opened the data and looked up and said, "I'm wrong."

"His Majesty……"

The prime ministers bowed in panic.

"I have used Liu Xian and others... This is a sign of being blind and harming the people!"

Zhao Shu felt sad, and even choked, "More than 300 people died of cold and starvation, I felt sad..."

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent."

The lord was humiliated and the minister died, and Han Qi and others could only bow their heads.

Such incidents are horrifying, and the emperor has an unshirkable responsibility.

But what about those opponents?

Chen An naturally thought of the group of people, and then...

"Your Majesty, these are the ones that those people defend, and I think they should be told."

Zhao Shu hadn't seen Chen An with a pure look for a long time, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw him again.

But then he said coldly: "It's good to do this, go and get the news out..."

"Let's wait!"

Chen An called Chen Zhongheng, and Han Qi said, "You have many ideas, what did you think of?"

"No." Chen An said, "There is another thing."

He looked up, "I didn't want to report this matter, but it was a deception of the emperor..."

Zhao Shu felt cold in his heart. What would be the matter that Chen An chose to hide?

It must be something that makes him afraid or taboo, which is related to imperial power.

"explain!"

His voice was terrifyingly cold, and the majesty of the emperor emerged for the first time.

"After I arrested Chen Wei, the commander of the Daming Mansion, I learned that he, Liu Xian and others... colluded with each other..."

The hall immediately became quiet.

Why did emperors in all dynasties suppress warriors?

Why do they ignore civil officials and suppress military officials?

It is because of the fact that Wu Ren has a lot of criminal records in rebellion.

In the years between the late Tang Dynasty and the founding of the Song Dynasty, the warriors staged countless betrayal scenes, which can be called a stage of human nature.

Suppressing the military is a established national policy. It has been relaxed and relaxed now, but the situation is still there.

The collusion between civil officials and military officials made the emperor afraid of this rebellion compared to the military officials.

The military rebelled and civil servants resisted, but what if the civil servants were with them, what would they do?

The emperor becomes a lonely man.

...

Chen An has left the palace.

Many people gathered outside, and were shocked to see that he had left the palace safely and there was no one behind him.

This person was not punished?

Not right?
