Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

In addition to the three eunuchs, there is also the former eunuch Gao Qiu. This guy was raided because of the last time. This time it was a blessing in disguise, and he was not beheaded. From then on, Gao Qiu concentrated on doing Cuju and never dared to think about becoming an official.

In the past three months, eight houses have been confiscated, and the fines and confiscated items add up to two years of national treasury revenue, which is more than 200 million yuan. It shows how powerful these corrupt officials are! Zhao Ji ordered people directly Behead these three eunuchs and show them to the public as an example!

This is the first time Zhao Ji has directly announced the order of execution, even if neither Cai Jing nor Wang Hao were executed by him.

On the one hand, it was because the Song Dynasty had such a tradition that they would not kill the ministers, and on the other hand, Zhao Ji was not familiar with this place and did not take too radical measures. Now the time is ripe, he has taken control of the whole country, and began to show his fangs, shocking Xiaoxiao!

Originally, the Song Dynasty had a huge military expenditure. Half of the 100 million national treasury revenue was used to maintain the military expenditure. If a war was launched, it would cost more than 10 yuan, but now I have the confidence. There is no need to use the treasury at all, and the contributions of these traitors are enough to launch several super-large battles. This is why Zhao Ji is keen on raiding homes.

Zhongshidao was in strict accordance with Zhao Ji's requirements. He sat on the high platform next to Chen Chaolao, the captain of the picket team.

Below were more than a dozen people who were tied up on their knees. They were all prisoners of corruption in the army's salary this time. Among them was a third-rank general Yun Hui, and several fourth-rank to eighth-rank military attachés. These people all have one or several huge forces behind them, such as the support of the prince, or the support of a certain prince, but now no one admits that they are related to them.

Chen Chaolao said to Chong Shidao, "It's noon, Lord Chong, is it time to execute?"

"Well," said the teacher, with a slight forehead.

Chen Chaolao waved his hand, and the executioner below immediately shouted loudly, "It's noon, execution!"

Under the watchful eyes of the three armies, those generals, captains, etc., who were corrupt and perverted the law and deducted military pay, were beheaded one by one to show the public!

Although it was Chen Chao who took the lead this time, Chong Shidao knew that his majesty in the army would be improved invisibly. In the past month, although he has made great efforts to rule, there are always people who are yang and yin disobedient, so that the masters and teachers can't show their way.

More than a dozen heads were grumbling on the ground, immediately frightening the generals.

"Retirement after the age of forty can receive fifty taels of silver, which will be implemented from now on.

More than a dozen carts came from the barracks, and the carts were filled with boxes of silver, all of which were for those retired veterans.

In addition to the publicity on the surface, there are also rumors in private, "You know, there is going to be a war, and swords and guns have no eyes. If you die on the battlefield, you will be given a pension of up to 20 taels of silver, and then you will pay a lot of money. 35

"Yeah, we're here just to make a living, and I won't go if we need to fight a war! Go, go and retire!

"Hey, why are you joining in the fun, you want to retire at the age of thirty, go away!"

Many soldiers knew that there was going to be a war, and they all wanted to retire. At this time, it was necessary to control the retired people and reject all those who were not old enough. Jokes, all run away, who will fight?

After ten days of elimination, the 400,000 imperial guards in the capital suddenly became 150,000. Originally there were nearly 200,000 vacancies, and all of a sudden, 50,000 older soldiers went to them, and now they have shrunk by more than half.

The number was small, but Zhong Shidao believed that the combat effectiveness had increased, and began to mobilize an army of 100,000 to march toward the north.

Zhao Gou, the king of Guangping County, finally came to the palace. He already knew about the incident when he was on the road, but he didn't dare not come at this time. Before this guy arrived, he had already sent someone to find his mother, Wei Guifei, and wanted to ask Wei Guifei to intercede.

Wei Guifei naturally cared about her son and found Zhao Ji crying.

"Your Majesty, the dog has done something wrong. He already knows that he is wrong. Your Majesty, please forgive him!" As soon as Concubine Wei came over, she knelt down and hugged Zhao Ji's thigh.

I just favored Concubine Wei a few days ago. Naturally, Zhao Ji was not a ruthless person. He helped her up and said pleasantly, "Concubine Wei, get up and sit here. I didn't say what to do with him? How did you know the news before it came?"

Concubine Wei was at a loss for words, of course she did not dare to say that Zhao Gou sent someone to send the news, while Zhao Gou himself was a little scared and deliberately dawdled on the road.

"Your Majesty, the concubine also listened to what others said. Even if the dog did something wrong, he is our child after all, and the tiger's poison does not eat its son. Your Majesty will not kill your own, right?" Wei Guifei was nervous. asked.

Zhao Ji laughed, then looked at Concubine Wei, "Do you think I look like a ruthless king? 99

Not like, but just! Wei Guifei thought to herself.

Except for Song Taizu, the founding emperor, there was no emperor in the Song Dynasty like Zhao Ji, who raided seven or eight homes in a few months, even the prime minister and deputy prime minister were exiled to join the army, and he killed several eunuchs one after another. Ruthless?

Of course, using Concubine Wei's courage, she didn't dare to say that, she just said, "Of course not, Your Majesty is the most kind, and will definitely not hurt your own children, right?"

Zhao Ji glanced at Concubine Wei with a half-smile but nods, "Of course, it's my own child after all. However, it is impossible for him to be punished without 680. It is very courageous to dare to take action on military pay. I don't know, is the army the foundation of the society?

"Your Majesty, he is still young, please forgive him for his crimes!" Concubine Wei knelt down again and prayed.

Zhao Ji tossed his sleeves and snorted coldly, feeling annoyed, "I will handle it myself, you can go back!"

After saying that, Zhao Ji went out by himself.

He still didn't know what role Wei Guifei played in this, did she have her support? He scratched his hair, Zhao Ji felt that the ancient people's hair was too long and it really got in the way, especially now that it's getting hotter, I really want to To get a flat head.

Forget it, there are some things that you have to endure as an emperor.

There is no peace in the palace. These princes and princesses are really greedy and do not know the importance! Maybe they have not considered this in their hearts, maybe they think that the Song Dynasty is theirs, they can do whatever they want...

No, I have to let them know now that Da Song belongs to me, Zhao Ji, and I can only give it to you, but if you don't give it to you, you can't reach out!

Zhao Gou arrived. As the King of Guangping County, he has been staying outside. This time, he was very anxious when he came back. When he saw Zhao Ji, he fell to his knees, crying bitterly, "My son has seen the emperor, please forgive me. , Erchen is all bewitched by others..."
