No shortage of walls

The Empress Dowager said:"I am old and my head is very confused. I don't remember very clearly. When the orthodox emperor came to the throne, he seemed to have issued an imperial edict. The matters of the previous dynasty should be surrendered and passed on, and they will never be mentioned again."If he commits the crime again, he will be punished concurrently. I heard that it took a four-horse carriage a whole day to move the silver in the basement secret room of Liu Chengwen's home."

How could Huang Quan not understand? He quickly said:"The Empress Dowager, you remember correctly. The Holy Father said this when he came to the throne, and there was also an imperial edict issued in a newspaper. It is the sentence you said, the Empress Dowager. The matter of the previous dynasty, surrender yourself and it will be over forever. Don't mention it again. If you commit the crime again, you will be punished both before and after."

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied. Said:"Have you found out the affairs of Liu Chengwen's previous dynasty?"

Huang Quan said:"Go back to the Empress Dowager. Mr. Liu Guo, the Minister of National Security, has already handed over all the affairs of Mr. Liu Chengwen's previous affairs to his ministers, and they have been checked. Everything is clear."

The Queen Mother heard that Liu Guo had taken action, so she said nothing more. The Empress Dowager actually trusted her son's old subordinates.Prince Jing's old tribe never believed in people from the previous dynasty. He said,"The king's father has not been here for a long time. The queen is already waiting in the harem. Let's go over and say a few words about home."

Huang Quan said,"Yes." He kowtowed, went to say a few words to his daughter, and then went out.

Huang Quan thought about it, the Empress Dowager said she would not interfere in politics, but the intention of announcing her entry into the palace was very clear. And he is a high-ranking official, so he can only make decisions by asking for orders.

Song Xing didn't want to kill him at first, but then he thought about it. With high salary and integrity, the cost of crime is too low. It's not okay for others to think that he is weak. The king should give both kindness and power. Moreover, if handled lightly, others will have no fear and it will be easy to form cliques. In the history of previous lives, there were many cases of powerful ministers, relatives, and eunuchs controlling the government. This kind of thing must be guarded against from the beginning. There should be no problem if he is still alive, but what happens after he is frightened and dies? The authority of the emperor cannot be soft-hearted, and since grandma knew that Liu Chengwen had embezzled the treasury, she also said that the old officials of the Qingyuan Dynasty were greedy. The implication is that I don't want to be soft-hearted, and I know that my grandma has also recruited Huang Quan into the harem, so I naturally understand what her old man means, so I asked Huang Quan to deal with it according to the Song Dynasty punishment law. Just leave the execution to Song Yu, since it was Song Yu who led the arrests anyway.

Although Song Xing knew that changing dynasties was inevitable, as a person who was highly educated in his previous life, he did not expect his descendants to continue working until the earth experienced another war between gods, but the people suffered too much from the frequent changes of dynasties. It has to be planned from the beginning. In the history of previous lives, emperors killed countless heroes and famous generals, so I just killed a real criminal. What is there to be soft-hearted about?

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, all the men of Liu Chengwen's family were executed and the women were made into slaves. Among the three tribes, all were demoted to common people, expelled from the capital, and could never serve as officials in the court. The confidants of the Ministry of Rites will handle the matter according to the found money and according to the law.

All family property shall be taken as state-owned.

The Empress Dowager was indeed displeased with the ministers of the previous dynasty. She heard that Song Yu had been sentenced and it was Song Yu who was in charge; she also sent someone to bring Song Yu in. Asked:"I heard that this time the Ministry of Punishment and the arrest of Liu Chengwen, the head of Dali Temple, are you in charge?"

Song Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and said:"Go back to the Empress Dowager. There are too many criminals, and the Ministry of Punishment does not have enough manpower. The country The father-in-law came to borrow troops, and the minister borrowed a thousand of his old men to do things." The Empress

Dowager said,"I heard that he has been convicted?"

Song Yu said,"Go back to the Empress Dowager. Yes. The trial was completed yesterday, and the country My father-in-law is in charge. There are too many criminals involved. The imperial edict has been issued, and it is up to the ministers to carry it out."

The Empress Dowager said:"There are not many good ministers in the Qingyuan Dynasty. I can rest assured that you will execute it.. You must not be soft-hearted."

Song Yu said:"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager. We will carry out the judgment of the Ministry of Punishments."

The Empress Dowager said,"Then you can go out."

Song Yu knelt down and went out. He understood what the Empress Dowager meant, and the whole world knew that he could be ruthless. The imperial edict was carried out by oneself, and the meaning couldn't be more clear. In the past, the Northern Territory himself disobeyed the general's orders and executed the Northern Territory royal family without even being spanked. How could he not understand what the Crown Prince meant? Killing someone is a happy thing in itself for Song Yu, so how can he be soft-hearted?

Song Yu will not be lenient. Of course we will do what is under the imperial decree, but if we do anything outside the imperial decree and break the laws of the prince and emperor, we will kill him first.

Jin Chuan printed the crimes he committed during his two dynasties, as well as the evidence of the contract, in newspapers. He printed seventeen pieces of paper in a row, sold them once, and made a huge profit.

The people were talking about it, and they all felt sorry for it. The emperor had no regard for the past, and this old man dared to commit crimes in front of the orthodox emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was a wise and powerful god.

From the beginning, an anti-corruption campaign lasted for nearly two years, with the Ministry of Punishment as the main body, Dali Temple as deputy, the Ministry of National Security, and the Ministry of Household Affairs as assistance. From top to bottom, the first rank of the imperial court was investigated first, together with Song Yu and Cui Zheng. They were all investigated. No one in the Second Military and Political Department could escape. They were all investigated.

The public officials of the Ministry of National Security were also re-investigated one by one by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. For dark hands, the only thing you can do is self-examination.

Regarding He Shizhang's report of the spy, the Ministry of National Security was originally sent by Liu Gongquan to make things difficult for him, so how could he investigate himself? Can't say. He had no choice but to take the blame, and Liu Guo fined him three months' salary.

Cui Zheng's restriction on Liu Chengwen was certainly the intention of the emperor, but it was hard to explain why he acted on his own initiative. He had no choice but to say that Cui Zheng was incompetent and his delivery was as messy as a ghost. He lost the face of his business dealings and was fined for half a year.

Jin Chuan reported the matters investigated by the Ministry of Punishment one by one. With the corner of the paper still left, he told an interesting story about the capital. He said that there was an official in the previous dynasty who was extremely afraid that his wife would be fierce. The emperor gave him a palace maid as a concubine. That night, before the bridal chamber, his fierce wife scratched his face. When he went to court the next day, the emperor asked about it. He said that he had a big cat at home, which was vicious and was accidentally scratched. The officials next to him nodded in agreement! Your cat is really ferocious. When it bites people on the neck, the tooth marks are actually flat. Xiaguan has lived for more than fifty years and has only seen cats with sharp teeth. The teeth marks are like this. I still haven’t seen a cat.
