On August 18, Zhu Changqing, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, was taken to Dali Temple. The speed of the initial trial was jaw-dropping.

It is said that I just went to Dali Temple Prison for a while in the morning and was transferred to the Criminal Department in the afternoon.

In the evening, the final decision was made.

In the next few days, all officials who submitted their resignations were investigated one by one.

The audit system actually opened with this dramatic scene.

Like iron, it began to cover the court, and it seemed to tell the world that the court was determined to standardize officials.

In the evening of August 25th, Gao Qiu went to Wende Hall and handed in a report.

This report is the process report on the resignation case from the Audit Yuan, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment during this period.

In just eight days, more than 80 officials were audited.

Only thirteen of them survived the audit.

Zhao Ning took another look at these thirteen people and found that not all of them were innocent. At least he could infer the problem from the lines between the lines.

But these thirteen people all have the same characteristic: they have had very good political achievements in the past.

Zhao Ning immediately knew that these thirteen people were the ones Zhao Ding wanted to protect.

The power to remove officials lies with the prime minister. The Zhao family will generally not interfere, but if they want to intervene, they can do so at any time.

Zhao Ning has no intention of intervening.

He felt that it was understandable for Zhao Ding to come like this.

There must be a limit to the liquidation. Everything should be based on reality. It is the time for the court to employ people. It must not only remove the cancer, but also use only the talents.

Gao Qiu suddenly said: "Guan family, Qin Hui seems to listen to Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Ning glanced at him calmly, knowing what Gao Qiu meant behind his words.

Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are now full of people from Qin Hui.

Qin Hui, as long as you give him a chance, he will find every opportunity to quickly build a foundation for himself.

At this time, Qin Hui was very good at catering to Zhao Ding's wishes. He knew that Zhao Ding's difficulty was the current governance structure, and he also understood that those scolding villains in front of the official office were referring to Zhao Ding.

Therefore, most of those people did not end well.

When Zhao Ning saw him like this, Gao Qiu lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.

"What do you mean, Captain Gao?"

Gao Qiu said: "I... I just feel that Qin Hui's behavior makes people very uncomfortable."

"How are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Gao Qiu thought for a while and said: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Hui gave King Kang a big gift. It is said that it is a bloody horse from the Western Regions!"

Gao Qiu added: "Qin Hui and King Kang have always had a personal relationship."

"Do I have to control the friendship between ministers?"

"Yes, your Majesty is tolerant, but I am too talkative."

"I know you are doing it for me, but you still have to pay more attention to some things."

Gao Qiu immediately said: "Moreover, King Kang and Chen Min are very close."

"Oh?" Zhao Ning was confused now.

Isn’t Chen Min a technician? How come he has contact with Zhao Gou?

"I also find it strange that Chen Min is devoted to studying how to farm in Gokuyuan. He usually gives lectures at the Agricultural College of Tokyo University. He has little contact with other officials, but he has a close relationship with King Kang."

Zhao Ning began to think deeply and thought for a long time before suddenly remembering.

No wonder!

Zhao Gou in history had another biggest characteristic that none of the emperors of Zhao and Song Dynasty had.

What characteristics?

The emperor who knows best about farming!

People do have talents. For example, Qin Hui's talent is playing tricks, so he can climb up quickly.

Zhao Ding's talent is to weigh interests, so he has a big picture and is suitable for politics and stabilizing chaos.

Yue Fei's talent is to lead troops to fight.

And Zhao Gou's talent is indeed farming.

But the problem is, Zhao Gou likes farming, so he immediately fell in love with Chen Min. Isn't this a coincidence?

Qin Hui got so close to Zhao Gou again.

Gao Qiu then said: "Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

"It doesn't matter if you say so."

"Qin Hui sent many people to prison, but he had a good reputation among both the new and old sects. I always felt in my heart that this man was deeply scheming."

It seems that it was Qin Hui who brought Zhao Gou and Chen Min together.

Zhao Ning walked to the table, poured himself a glass of sake, and smelled the scent of osmanthus.

The wine quality of the ancients was really high. The ancients paid attention to the elegant and fragrant wine.

Zhao Ning suddenly remembered some novels he read in his previous life. Travelers often played with distilled liquor and made a lot of money.

That really misunderstood the ancients.

The ancients were definitely not willing to drink highly concentrated distilled liquor.

Zhao Ning took a drink and said, "What if Prince Kang is interested in farming?"

"This... I'm not sure about this."

Zhao Ning suddenly asked: "How is the situation on Hebei West Road?"

"I have just inquired that one hundred and eight officials in Hebei West Road have been dismissed from their posts, most of whom are prefects, prefecture magistrates, and county magistrates."

From this point of view, the Hebei West Road whistleblower strategy during this period has really paid off.

Time flies by very quickly, and September has already entered in a blink of an eye.

Resignation cases have also come to a conclusion one after another, and 238 officials have been audited for corruption.

The scope of corruption ranges from salt and iron smuggling, annexation of fertile land, to tea reselling, and the evidence is conclusive.

7 million yuan was copied!

This is not over yet. Zhou Yan, the prison chief assigned by Qin Hui to Huaixi, has gone through Huaixi from top to bottom in the past few months, not even missing the small cracks.

Eighty-three questionable officials were submitted.

After such a torment, Huaixi's officialdom was almost changed.

Now no official says he is resigning.

Everything was quiet.

Early in the morning on the second day of September, Zhao Ning left the palace in a happy mood.

The recent resignation case and the follow-up case in Huaixi have added 8 million yuan to the national treasury, and also solved the problem of bloated officials in the capital.

To be precise, the problems of overstaffed officials in Huaixi, Hebei West Road and Gyeonggi Road are being gradually solved.

This means that the expenses are reduced and a large amount of income and expenditure is added.

The next fiscal year finally has a positive trend.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and fiscal positivity has just begun.

When Zhao Ning walked to the palace gate, he suddenly said to Wang Huaiji: "Go and arrange for someone to send King Kang to the palace."

"yes."

Zhao Ning walked all the way out of the palace and ran to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments.

He was going to meet someone.

who?

Zhang Bangchang!

Qin Hui was waiting at the gate of the Criminal Department Yamen early in the morning.

"I see you, Your Majesty, Holy Peace."

"Everyone is free of charge."

"Your Majesty, please come this way."

"Qin Hui, you handled the resignation case very well."

"Your Majesty has taught me well."

"Your ability to do things is obvious to all."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I am just fulfilling my duties as a minister."

"Qin Hui, I have something to ask you."

Qin Hui hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty has betrayed his ministers. Please make it clear."

"I want to buy a batch of horses recently. Where do you think it is better to buy them?"

Qin Hui didn't know why Zhao Guan's family suddenly asked this question. He thought for a while and said, "I originally bought horses in the northwest and Hebei, but there were frequent wars in the northwest and the trade routes were blocked."
