Wang Chong?

Chen Zhengxian felt that he didn't have enough brains.

he……

How did the Zhao Guan family know about Wang Chong?

Wang Chong was just a businessman in Shangdang County. There were countless businessmen in the Song Dynasty. Let alone Wang Chong, even if he was a county magistrate or even a prefect, the Zhao Guan family did not have that much energy to pay attention to.

His doubts are indeed normal, after all, the vertical management boundary of a person is only about 15 people.

If there are more than 15 people, management efficiency will decrease as the number of people increases.

If the emperor really wanted to manage in a refined way, he would probably be able to manage at most the level of a minister. If he were to ask about the work of a minister, he would basically be in a state of staying up late and working overtime for a long time.

The schedule may even be chaotic and unfocused.

It is really embarrassing for the Zhao Guan family to ask them to pay attention to a businessman in the county.

It is precisely because human society has management boundary problems that there is a lot of information concealment and asymmetry.

But now the Zhao Guan family knows about Wang Chong.

"Are you wondering why I know Wang Chong and why I know he is your nephew?"

"minister……"

"Oh, I forgot, take a good look at what Wang Chong said."

Gao Qiu quickly handed over Wang Chong's confession, and Zhao Ning gently threw it in front of Chen Zhengxian.

Of course, this confession is attached.

Chen Zhengxian picked it up with trembling hands, read the first line, and was so frightened that he started hitting his head on the ground, making a loud bang: "Your Majesty! I am wronged!"

"Why is Chen Qing so impatient? Why don't you wait until you finish reading?"

Chen Zhengxian forced himself to calm down and continued reading.

The surrounding officials looked horrified. Although they didn't know what was going on yet, it was evident from this posture that the matter was probably very serious.

When he saw the part about Wang Chong killing the imperial envoy, Chen Zhengxian had already collapsed. He wailed heartbreakingly: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do with him..."

"You didn't say that when you divided the money."

"minister……"

"How do you get the money out of the bank, how do you give it to Wang Chong, and how Wang Chong distributes the money to local officials? Explain it in front of all the loyal ministers in the court, so that you can also know how to use benevolent governance to

Use it as a cloak for your own selfish desires and deceive others!"

"minister……"

"explain!"

"Death penalty!"

"Why don't you say it anymore! Weren't you very eloquent just now?"

"minister……"

"Gao Qiu, since Chen Shenzheng can't talk about it, you can tell everyone and let everyone listen to how an official who came to the capital to talk to me about benevolent government corrupted and preyed on the people!"

Gao Qiu immediately said: "Chen Zhengxian, who was sitting in politics on the left side of Hedong Road, worked in tandem with the Hedong Road Bank to ask local state-owned and private trading companies to submit excessive borrowings to the bank in the name of road construction. Only one of them, Shangdang.

The county reported 200,000 yuan, but the workers who repaired the official road did not receive a penny."

As soon as he said this, the courtroom started to explode.

"What! This Chen Zhengxian is too courageous!"

“You even dare to defraud the bank money!

Some people even shouted angrily: "This is destroying the foundation of the bank. This will trigger a banknote payment crisis. This is..."

Others shouted: "This is the way to enrich officials and weaken the people. This is bad government! Bad government! Vicious!"

In the court hall, from the previous call for benevolent government to the current scolding, it took less than a cup of tea.

"Quiet!" Zhao Ding said.

Only then did everyone calm down.

Gao Qiu continued: "The Su Provincial Academy sent people to Shangdang to investigate, but Wang Chong sent people to kill him in the magistrate's Yamen and set him on fire."

The crowd, which had gradually calmed down, exploded after hearing Gao Qiu's words.

"This is rebellion! This is rebellion!"

“If we don’t punish you severely, where is the prestige of the court?”

“Outrageous!”

"..."

The crowd roared one after another.

Even Wang Zonglio, who usually worked in the court, couldn't help shouting and cursing.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The crowd slowly became quiet again.

"Wang Ciweng."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here."

"Are you the Minister of Justice?"

"I...I am."

"Okay, tell me how to deal with this matter?"

"this……"

"Is it not easy to train them?" Zhao Ning asked rhetorically, "It doesn't matter if the people from the Su Provincial Yuan die, some local officials with an inflated desire for power must be preserved, right?"

"I don't dare!"

"The people in Jiangdong can have their food plundered and even starve to death, but officials who rob the people of their food must be understanding?"

"minister……"

Wang Cweng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Ning: "According to your opinion, those people were fined three drinks each and the matter was over?"

"minister……"

"After all, it is not easy to train an official in the imperial court!" Zhao Ning's tone became more serious, "Isn't it, Luo Ruji!"

Luo Ruji trembled, knelt on the ground quickly, and said with trembling fear: "I don't mean that!"

"Are you saying that there is something wrong with my ears?"

"I don't dare!"

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Mo Chou, the Minister of Civil Affairs, jumped out and said, "I have something to say!"

"explain!"

"I feel that this matter is not simple. It is not just Chen Zhengxian who is causing trouble on Hedong Road."

As soon as Mo Chou, the king of flattery, comes out, he will definitely cooperate with Zhao Ning's butcher knife, and blood will flow for thousands of miles.

"oh?"

"Why did Chen Zhengxian make such a big mistake at the same time as he came to the capital to meet with benevolent government?" Mo Chou burned the flames on the previous issue of benevolent government.

This question is really painful.

Because many officials are now calling for lighter sentences and so-called benevolent government.

"why?"

"I boldly say that it is precisely because Chen Zhengxian committed such a serious crime that I want to appeal to His Majesty to reduce his punishment. Will those upright officials care about this?"

Mo Chou, the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty, was a man of gentle character and sharp eyes.

The vicious thing is that when Zhao Guan's family needs it most, he can always stick out his tongue and lick it a few times.

Her licking skills are superb and unmatched.

Gao Qiu on the other hand hated himself for not taking a step ahead. Maybe even if he took a step ahead, he wouldn't be able to lick the key position like Mo Qiu did.

On the surface, Mo Chou was talking about Chen Zhengxian, but in fact he was saying: The officials who just called for so-called benevolent government all have problems.

This completely blocked the so-called path of benevolent government towards officials.

Anyone who dares to mention one more thing there is something seriously wrong.

"So, what does Mo Qing mean?"

"Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty's previous policy of clear rewards and punishments is an extremely wise policy. It is precisely because of clear rewards and punishments that treacherous ministers and villains can be deterred."
