"You say hello and watch the promotion. As for how far he can go in the future, it depends on him."

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will handle it well. This time he can be considered a meritorious service." Gao Qiu said.

He thought to himself that I, Gao Qiu, also had to train a successor.

After thinking for a while, Gao Qiu added: "As Secretary Li said, many people in the capital actually want to be like Qin Xi, contacting these big cannibals in advance and reaching deals with these people privately."

"knew."

"How to deal with those big cannibals, please ask His Majesty's Holy Judgment."

"They injured someone outside the city?"

"Yes."

"So this is considered a civil dispute?"

"That's right."

“Who cares about civil disputes?”

"Kaifeng Mansion."

"Then transfer the suspect to the Kaifeng Mansion. The Law of the Song Dynasty is not a decoration. Let me handle everything. If one day I am unhappy, you Gao Qiu will not be happy either."

"yes."

Gao Qiu quickly moved this matter down.

Pu Sangyuan and others never expected that he would be summoned by the emperor and would go to the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen to file a lawsuit.

On the evening of November 21, the news reached the Qin Mansion.

"What did you say!" Wang was shocked, "You said Xi'er was arrested?"

"Yes, madam." Wang Boyan said hurriedly.

"what happened?"

"Yameni is going to find those big food merchants today."

"Yes, he went to find it."

"There was a small problem. I heard that those big cannibals injured someone and got into a lawsuit. The yamen handled it privately. The people from the Imperial City Department took notice of the matter."

"For such a small thing, the Imperial City Department arrested someone?" Wang was shocked.

"I went to inquire and it was Gao Qiu who personally arrested him!"

"Gao Qiu is crazy!" Wang's face darkened, "Is he going to fight us to the death?"

"Don't worry, madam. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Now even those big cannibals have been arrested. You must know that they were summoned to the capital by His Majesty. Gao Qiu dared to touch them, which means that Your Majesty must know the situation."

"Does Your Majesty know that we went to find those big cannibals in advance?"

"I probably know about it, but before the sale has been negotiated, I just say that I am entertaining guests from the Song Dynasty. This reason is reasonable, but I am afraid that Gao Qiu will find out something during interrogation."

As Wang walked back and forth, she said, "What would happen if Your Majesty knew that we wanted to do business with those big cannibals in private?"

"Judging from Qin Xianggong's political achievements in the court, His Majesty will not be ruthless because of this incident. After all, this incident did not cause much harm. Your Majesty is still very kind to ministers who have made meritorious services."

Wang Boyan is right.

During these years of restructuring, the New Dealers have offended many people.

Zhao Ning is not stingy with rewards and promotions for anyone who has achieved political achievements.

I will never kill the donkey easily.

People's hearts are very sensitive. Even before the unified situation is completed, they start to kill the donkey. What kind of stupid people can do that.

For the core team, Zhao Ning will definitely show kindness to the core team in order to unite people's hearts.

"What about Xi'er this time?"

"The official position cannot be saved, and some people may be involved." Wang Boyan said, "But it doesn't matter. Qin Xianggong's New Deal on Jiangnan West Road is about to end. This is a great achievement, and now there is an opportunity to establish a foundation for us.

Stop."

"what chance?"

"In the past few days, the capital has been conducting an inventory of the properties of relatives of relatives. Many properties of relatives of relatives have been inspected. Concubine Shen De's natal family has also been inspected. I heard that three houses were inspected the day before yesterday. Zhu Zhongwen almost went bankrupt overnight. The official also visited him yesterday."

"Why visit him?"

"His daughter Concubine Shen De gave birth to the third prince, who is now six years old."

Mrs. Wang immediately understood and said: "We are not trying to support Kang..."

"Eggs cannot be put in the same basket, or in other words, win over Concubine Shen De and the Third Prince to gain enough leverage for us."

"How to win over?"

"Zhu Zhongwen is most in need of money now, so let's give him a sum of money to buy land outside the city to help him make a comeback, and then let him connect with Concubine Shen De."

November 23, morning.

When Zhao Guan's family arrived at Chui Gong Hall, the ministers were already waiting in Chui Gong Hall and were discussing something.

When Zhao Guan's house arrived, the officials gradually calmed down.

After the ceremony, it was quiet as usual.

Zhao Ning asked: "Do you have anything to report?"

Everyone was silent.

After a while, Cai Mao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do."

"But it doesn't matter."

Cai Mao said: "I heard that several large food merchants came to the capital the day before yesterday. His Majesty summoned them, but at this time they are waiting for trial in Kaifeng Mansion. This fact is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Since the person was summoned by His Majesty, and now he is facing a lawsuit in the capital, if word of this spreads, it will have an impact on the reputation of the imperial court."

The ministers discussed it, and it was obvious that they all knew about it.

This seems a bit ridiculous to some people.

"What's the impact?"

"this……"

"I only saw some officials who went to greet them in person with sullen expressions!" Zhao Ning's face immediately turned ugly, "A few big cannibals actually made me, the officials of the Song Dynasty, so obscene!"

It was dead quiet down there.

Cai Mao said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court still wants to do business with them. If this matter spreads to the southern seas, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many people. It is not a wise move."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhao Ning said with a cold face.

"Let them go, send them to Embassy Street, settle down, listen to the announcement, and let them feel that the Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette."

Zhao Ning slapped the table angrily and stood up suddenly.

Cai Mao was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I am acting in the interests of the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Ning's face was still gloomy: "I know you are acting in the interests of the Song Dynasty!"

"Then that's what your Majesty should do."

"What should we do if an ordinary citizen injures someone?"

"Either keep it private or go to court."

"If that's the case, why did the Song Dynasty have to act independently when the cannibals came?" Zhao Guanjia asked.

Cai Mao continued: "Because the imperial court wants to do business with them. Doing business with them can make money quickly and enrich the national treasury."

Other ministers also stood up.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Cai is right. This matter cannot be handled according to routine."

"Your Majesty, please release those big cannibals immediately and arrange for officials from the Ministry of Rites to receive them."

"We, the Song Dynasty, are a country of etiquette. Since we want to do business with others, we cannot force ourselves to do so. I also feel that this matter can be reduced to a big deal and a trivial matter. There is no need for this."

"..."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Ning retorted on the spot, "If we give up this time and do not deal with it in accordance with the law, then from now on, those foreign merchants who come to the Song Dynasty to do business in Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Qinzhou , what should I do if I break the law in various places along the coast?”

"this……"

For a moment, everyone didn't know how to answer.

“Are the officials in those places just following the example and taking the overall interests of commerce and trade into consideration and just giving up like this time?”

Everyone was speechless again.

Zhao Ning continued: "If everyone takes immediate interests into consideration and does not follow the law, and officials from all over the country follow suit, then wouldn't the foreign businessmen who came to the Song Dynasty become masters who do not have to abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty!"

The officials were speechless for a moment.

"Our dynasty is rich in treasures, rich all over the world, and has millions of people. Our soldiers are all brave, and our people are all diligent. Why do we support a mere country for this?" Zhao Guanjia's temper was obviously coming, and his tone was as sharp as a sword, "You will mention it again later.
