Zhao Ning has many things to weigh.

For example, various new policies, the deployment of power in the court, as well as institutional changes and personnel arrangements.

But everything has a priority and a sequence.

It is impossible for people to do everything in one go. That would go against the objective laws. Not only will they not succeed, but they will be counterattacked.

The most typical example is Yang Guang.

For Zhao Ning, the most important thing now is that Qin Hui can roll out the New Deal on Jiangnan West Road. Qin Hui places his own people there. How to avoid this kind of thing?

How could Qin Hui quickly implement the New Deal on Jiangnan West Road without inserting his own people?

Therefore, if you want to achieve a goal, you must pay a certain price.

There is no such thing as complete Dharma in the world.

However, Qin Hui's matter cannot be analyzed purely in terms of the balance of the situation.

Most people in Qin Hui's position really wouldn't dare to do this.

Why do people who play politics like to make compromises?

Because politics is not something that ends once you play it, nor is it something you start with.

No one is willing to tear the bottom line into pieces. If they are torn into pieces, they will be criticized by their opponents in the name of morality. In this way, they will lose their status as a righteous person, and they will be told the truth in many things they do in the future.

Usually after doing something like this, under attack from the public officials, the minister will resign on his own initiative to avoid the immediate political attack.

This is done to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

But Qin Hui was different. He had no intention of resigning.

Not only did it not happen, but it also started breaking jars.

And he clearly knows what the Zhao Guan family wants most at the moment, so he dares to dance on the tightrope.

As long as the emperor does not express his position, Qin Hui will be very safe.

Qin Hui took the words of the officials as nothing.

While Qin Hui was causing trouble on Jiangnan West Road, Hebei East Road was not idle either.

Affected by the Chen Zhengxian case, many officials from Huaizhou, Zezhou, Longde Prefecture, Weishengjun, Taiyuan Prefecture and other prefectures and counties were investigated.

It spans local administrative yamen, financial yamen, banks, and local judicial yamen.

It is rare for the officials involved to be so involved.

Chen Zhengxian's family members in Xingzhou, Hebei West Road, were all captured and taken to the capital.

Of course, this also includes the Shangdang Wang family.

The Wang family themselves were from Luoyang, Henan Prefecture on Beijing North Road. Wang Chong was doing business in Shangdang, and the Wang family's ancestral home was in Luoyang.

There were a total of one hundred and thirty-six members of the Wang family, and they were all captured and taken to the capital.

By the first day of March, a total of 198 people from the Chen family and the Wang family were escorted to the execution ground.

I heard that on that day, several of the executioner's knives were chopped into pieces.

The green grass outside Bianjing City was soaked with blood, human heads were piled among the lawns, and desperate howls could be heard from time to time in the execution ground.

These people are usually high and mighty, but now they are in a different place.

Moreover, only Chen Zhengxian's lineage was executed. His father was still being escorted to the capital, and he had several brothers and sisters.

His father also has brothers and sisters.

No one can escape.

The Wang family and the Chen family were firmly blamed for killing the imperial envoys and rebelling.

In addition, Wang Cienweng and Luo Ruji were dismissed from office and their homes were searched.

However, it is an established fact that the structure of the court has undergone drastic changes. In this struggle, at least half of Qin Hui's party members were cut off, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

On the second day of March, Gao Qiu walked to Wende Hall.

"Your Majesty, Wang Cienweng and Luo Ruji's families have copied 500,000 guan and 350,000 guan respectively." Gao Qiu said, "In addition, other officials have copied a total of 1 million guan."

"I got it." Zhao Ning could say without any trouble.

"The Wang family and the Chen family have been executed." Gao Qiu continued to report, "It is estimated that the total family property confiscated is two million yuan."

"What do you say outside?"

"They are all scolding them," Gao Qiu said.

Zhao Ning stopped talking. He was holding a book and reading there.

The Chen Zhengxian case meant that while the bank was being rectified, it also announced that some bureaucrats' ideas of returning to the past era had been completely stifled.

After a while, Gao Qiu said: "Your Majesty, this Qin Hui matter has been very popular recently."

"Um?"

"I heard that many officials are now impeaching Qin Hui, saying that he was fighting against dissent with the Jiangnan West Road Party and was monopolizing power to make things happen."

"Evidence, I want to see evidence. Qin Hui is in power. They just talk nonsense without evidence and ask me to remove a ruler?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I also think they are talking nonsense."

"How's the detailed investigation going?"

"I was just about to talk about this." Gao Qiu said, "I have collected the list of girls who have come to Fanlou in the past nine years, and I really discovered something."

"oh?"

"There are three women among them. One is named Liu Qingqing. She entered Fan House in the fourth year of Jingkang's reign and is the most popular oiran in Fan House."

"Is there anything special about her?"

"What's special about her is that she has close contacts with officials and has even received guests like Governor Cai and Governor Qin."

Of course, the brothels of the Song Dynasty were not brothels. The brothels were brothels and the brothels were brothels.

A brothel is a place for talents, and you don't sell your body if you show your skills.

Therefore, deputy prime ministers like Ouyang Xiu and people like Su Shi were frequent visitors to brothels.

"And she is from Zhending Prefecture, Hebei."

"This doesn't mean anything." Zhao Ning said.

"Another woman named Su Xueqing also has close contacts with many officials. She is even often invited to officials' homes to perform her talents."

"The third person's name is Zhang Sijun. She doesn't have close contacts with officials, but she has very close contacts with another person."

"who?"

"Lin Yifei, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice."

"Lin Yifei?"

Gao Qiu continued: "I heard that Lin Yifei is the illegitimate son of Qin Xianggong. I don't know whether it is true or not."

Zhao Ning remained silent.

He still knew that this famous historical figure was indeed Qin Hui's illegitimate son.

"This person named Zhang Sijun has close contacts with Lin Yifei. Doesn't that mean he is a mastermind of the Jin Dynasty?"

"I'm not sure that she is Jin Guoxizuo, but her behavior is suspicious."

Gao Qiu's words were actually nonsense. He was not doubting Zhang Sijun, he was simply digging a hole for Qin Hui.

"And this Lin Yifei has visited people from various yamen for dinner many times and asked many questions."

Zhao Ning thought for a moment and said: "Observe quietly first, don't scare the snake."

"yes."

According to Gao Qiu's logic, if Jin Renxizuo was lurking in a brothel, he would have used his identity as a woman to frequently approach officials. Otherwise, would he be lurking in a brothel and enjoying himself?

His starting point was correct, and Zhao Ning also acquiesced.
