The work of the Ministry of Rites is to welcome all the people who arrived in Fuzhou and defected to the court, register and classify them, and send them to various receiving units. The specific affairs made Wen Tianxiang so dizzy. As the top scholar, Wen Tianxiang also did business, but he never thought that he could be so busy in the world, so busy that Wen Tianxiang had to shyly admit in a small corner of his heart that he was actually a person of "lazy politics". When he could be lazy, he would have a very high chance of being lazy.

When Lu Xiufu arrived at Mawei Port, Fuzhou, he saw a group of men and women sitting behind a row of tables. They all had a stern face and had no good face. Fortunately, although these people looked ugly, they did not give others a face. They just registered with ugly faces. As important aides in Li Tingzhi's mansion, Lu Xiufu praised these aides for being so excellent.

There are more than 80 staff members who can write and remember in the port of Mawei Port, and the number of staff members under Li Tingzhi is not that large. In addition to the number, if the staff members under Li Tingzhi show such expressions, they will start to give up. These people in Fuzhou look ugly and continue to work without stopping. They can be described as devoting their efforts.

When he learned that Lu Xiufu was sent by Li Tingzhi, the cadre who finished the record took out a note that wrote the Chinese characters "49527" and Arabic numerals 49527" and compared it with the Arabic numerals "49527" written on the table with Arabic numerals written on the back of the Lu Xiufu's throne column. Then he asked Lu Xiufu to sign on the signature of the rank list and the paper.

Although I don’t know what it means, Lu Xiufu still completed the request. The registrant pointed to the wooden fence gates behind and said, “Take the note and go to Gate No. 4 to pass the pass.”

Lu Xiufu had long seen many passages surrounded by wooden fences behind the registration office. There were big words on the wooden signs above the fence gate. He didn't recognize Arabic numerals, and he could recognize those Chinese characters. Now Lu Xiufu couldn't help but admire him. The staff members always asked people to look for xxx when doing business. Whether they could find it depends on whether the favors were in place or enough money was stuffed. It was completely different from the next procedure in Fuzhou.

Of course, Lu Xiufu, who has rich experience, was not simply moved. If something goes wrong, there will be evil. Perhaps Fuzhou's exploitation is even more ruthless than the common staff of our Song Dynasty. With a cautious attitude, Lu Xiufu waited for more than an hour after four procedures, and finally met Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of Rites before sunset.

Wen Tianxiang just woke up from a nap. He started working at 8:30 in the morning, had dinner at 12:00, and took a quick break before going to work at 2:00 in the afternoon. Even so, by about 4:00 in the afternoon, he still couldn't help but take a nap. Grassroots staff worked two shifts before the heavy work. The first shift was from 6:30 in the morning to 12:00 in the morning, and the second shift was from 12:00 in the afternoon to 6:30 in the afternoon. A large cadre like Wen Tianxiang had to work all day. Even though he knew that he shouldn't complain, Wen Tianxiang's mood was still not high.

After hearing Lu Xiufu say that he was sent by Li Tingzhi to serve the court and asked for reinforcements. Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. If it were in the past, such small means would probably have a role. Now, Zhao Jiaren's subordinates would not recognize these. If they wanted to serve the court, they would pass the review first.

Even though he had an idea in his mind, Wen Tianxiang still made records and sent Lu Xiufu's information to the Privy Council with other similar information.

The next day was a day off on Fridays and 1st. Early in the morning, Wen Tianxiang went to the playground of the cadre school as arranged. He was surprised to see Lu Xiufu. He was ranked in the ranks of "other personnel", and these people were all personnel who had not yet been formally assigned after review. Wen Tianxiang was very surprised. Even though he knew that Zhao Jiaren's subordinates were extremely efficient, he did not expect that Lu Xiufu could actually complete all the processes in one day. For thousands of years, the Chinese bureaucracy has never had such high efficiency. The only possibility is that Lu Xiufu has "someone above".

Wen Tianxiang, who is "there are people above", is right. There are indeed people above Lu Xiufu. Seeing Lu Xiufu's information, Zhao Jiaren gave Lu Xiufu a guarantee. Although there are still many steps to arrange work for Lu Xiu, at least Lu Xiufu is no longer an outside-staff member. The staff members have accommodation for the staff members. The modern bureaucracy system, no matter how many years or hours you have been here, the gatherings are arranged according to the conditions. Lu Xiufu himself was inexplicably asked to line up in a place full of strangers.

The participants were all civil servants within the system, and thousands of people were arranged in the square. A gallows were set up next to the rostrum in front of the square, and the white brown rope on it swung gently in the cold wind. Unlike the commonly used words posted on white paper, this time the red cloth strip was posted with black paper on the words "Song Tsang Liu Zheng Public Trial Conference". Wen Tianxiang was stunned. The Song Tsang Liu Zheng he knew should be a household in the Mongolian navy. Who is the Song Tsang Liu Zheng who was going to be tried by the public?

It seems that the public trial meeting is still quite long, and everyone is asked to bring stools when they come. When Wen Tianxiang looked left and right, he saw that Lu Xiufu was actually questioned by the discipline committee member responsible for discipline because he did not take the stool. However, the discipline clerk seemed to be unable to make things difficult for Lu Xiufu. After the questioning, he gave Lu Xiufu a spare stool.

When everyone sat down, Sima Kao, the new Dali Temple Minister, and a group of officials came to the stage first. When they sat firmly, a team of guys tied up with ropes and shackles were lifted out. The Minister of Rites was in front, but Wen Tianxiang had never seen Liu Zheng, let alone the people behind Liu Zheng.

This team of prisoners was taken to the front of the stage and was taken to testify. It was obvious that the people who were witnessing knew these people, and the leader was Zhang Shijie. Zhang Shijie stepped forward and said angrily to Liu Zheng, "Do you, you, still know me?"

Liu Jin lowered his head and said nothing. Zhang Shijie asked a few questions. Liu Jin looked up slightly and glanced at Zhang Shijie, then lowered his head. The servant behind him grabbed Liu Jin's hair without saying a word and raised his face. Zhang Shijie shouted angrily again: "What a dead dog? Liu Jin, do you know me."

After being treated like this, Liu Zheng simply closed his eyes and said nothing. Zhang Shijie was so angry that he was about to kick him, but was stopped by the officer.

Sima Kao didn't want the situation to get out of control, so he asked, "Witness Zhang Shijie, are you sure this person is Liu Zheng?"

"Yes! This person is Liu Zheng." Zhang Shijie said loudly.

"Do you know that if perjury is committed, it is illegal?" Sima Kao continued to follow the procedures and follow the script.

Although Zhang Shijie was told that there was such a process, he was still stunned when facing it. He felt that his reason should be able to understand that there are actually rules for doing this, but he still couldn't help feeling offended. After a moment, Zhang Shijie replied: "I know."

"Are you sure your accuracies are correct?" Sima Kao continued to follow the process.

"That's right!" Zhang Shijie replied decisively.

Wen Tianxiang in the audience looked at Sima Kao, the minister of Dali Temple, step by step, looking slow and actually quite fast. He first determined the identities of Liu Zheng and others and found out the true nature.

Next, the representatives of the army who captured Liu Zheng came to the stage to prove that these people were captured during the battle with the Song army. The propagandists loudly read out the contents of the documents that had been confirmed in front of various phalanxes. Although this had prolonged the time, it allowed those civil servants who could not hear the specific conversation to know the contents of the public trial.

Liu Zheng's life was briefly introduced. Liu Zheng, whose courtesy name was Wu Zhong, was from Rangcheng, Dengzhou (now Deng County, Henan), and his ancestral home was Fanchuan, Jingzhao (now Xi'an, Shaanxi). He was once a general of the Song Dynasty and was promoted to the prefect of Luzhou and deputy envoy of Tongchuan Road Pacification for his military achievements.

Later, Liu Zheng took the initiative to treason, surrendered to Mongolia, and was appointed as the Kuilu Province and pacification envoy by Mongolia. He then fought with the Song army and became a Mongolian naval army ten thousand households when training the navy for Mongolia. When Mongolia invaded the Song State, Liu Zheng became a subordinate of A Shu, the Mongolian army, and committed heinous crimes against the Song Dynasty.

There are people who have verified these, and Liu Zheng kept his head down and said nothing. When he finished reading his life and crime, Liu Zheng knew that he was doomed. Seeing that there was a noose hanging on the gallows in the venue, Liu Zheng knew that it would be his destination. Even though he had decided to keep silent before, he had no such persistence anymore. Then Liu Zheng suddenly raised his head and shouted with all his strength: "If it weren't for the forced traitor Jia Sidao, how could I defect to Mongolia? If it were said that he was guilty, Jia Sidao was the culprit! I was forced, and I was forced to helpless. Xiang Shibi was forced to death by Jia Sidao, and Jia Sidao would kill me next!"

Because he sat in the front row, Wen Tianxiang suddenly heard this and felt a sense of emotion. In the court, Wen Tianxiang always opposed Jia Sidao. Jia Sidao forced Xiang Shibi to death, and many people thought Jia Sidao was doing too much. And what Liu Zheng said...

"Song Tseng! Go to die!" Someone suddenly roared behind Wen Tianxiang like thunder. The sound suddenly came, scaring Wen Tianxiang to the point of being shocked. The man not only roared, but he continued to roar: "Song Tseng should be killed! Song Tseng should be killed!"

Many people were shocked by the angry roar. After a brief period of cold talk, people stood up everywhere to respond, "Song Tseng should be killed!" "Song Tseng should be killed!"

Soon, all the people watching the public trial meeting stood up and made the same sound, "Song genius should be killed!" "Song genius should be killed!" These sounds soon turned into more concise and clear calls, "Kill Song genius!" "Kill Song genius!"

Although Liu Zheng tried to shout, his voice was drowned in the sound of thousands of people. It was not until Sima Kao ordered everyone to calm down that the shouting was suppressed. Wen Tianxiang also stood up at this time. He just felt a little sympathetic to Liu Zheng's situation before the treason. However, thinking of Liu Zheng's cruelty after serving the Mongols, he also shouted, "Kill Song Treaches!"

Sima Kao made an announcement, "Song traitor Liu Zheng and others took the initiative to surrender to the enemy, committed treason, and were sentenced to death according to law, and immediately executed."

After the announcement, Sima Kao was put on a seal. Liu Zheng and others were immediately put in a punishment card behind their backs and their names were decided. They dragged down from the trial stand toward the gallows. Seeing that their lives were not long, Liu Zheng simply pulled his neck and shouted: "You Song Gou, you Southern Barbarians, you kill me today, and you will be waiting for the whole family to be killed by the Mongolians tomorrow. The Khan will not let you go, you will definitely be killed by the whole family..."

Seeing Liu Zheng shouting, the other Song traitors who knew they were forcing him to death also started to curse, "I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!" "I will die with your whole family even if I die!"

These words immediately triggered the reaction of onlookers. Someone rushed up with a stool. The officers immediately protected Liu Zheng, and finally blocked the crowd who wanted to kill Liu Zheng and others with a stool. The discipline committee members and others also hurried up to ask everyone to return to their seats. After a long period of tossing, the execution could continue.

When Liu Zheng was hung on a noose and bounced, there was only one sentence echoing in the entire public trial venue, "Kill Song Tyrant!"

Zhao Jiaren did not attend this public trial. It would be a bit too expensive to attend such a public trial. However, Zhao Jiaren is very concerned about this trial, or he is concerned about the performance of these cadres. Hearing the raging sound of "killing Song traitors" like a pissed out of nowhere, Zhao Jiaren sighed softly.

This dichotomy seems simple, but it is difficult for the Song Dynasty to make such a clean and neat decision when facing the enemy. It is okay for the poor, but they often feel pity because of the enemy's plea. The officials and the rich dare not support Song Tseng's attitude because they are afraid of their own losses. Because this will make them feel that there is no way out.

The purpose of this public trial meeting was to let the cadres understand the new court's position towards Song Tseng. This is a life-and-death war, and they will never forgive Song Tseng who took the initiative to surrender to the enemy.

When the public trial meeting ended, Zhao Jiaren sent someone to invite Lu Xiufu. In this era, Zhao Jiaren only dared to guarantee Lu Xiufu. Judging from Lu Xiufu's tense expression, the public trial meeting was very exciting. Resisting the urge to ask about the public trial meeting, Zhao Jiaren asked Lu Xiufu, "I don't know why Mr. Lu came here?"

Lu Xiufu and Zhao Jiaren had a relationship. It was a few years ago that Zhao Jiaren led his troops to help Xiangyang. After Zhao Jiaren broke through the Mongolian army's encirclement, he met with the leaders of each army. Lu Xiufu once met Zhao Jiaren with Li Tingzhi. Because he knew Zhao Jiaren's strength, Lu Xiufu solemnly said: "The Li Jianshe envoy guards Yangzhou, and the Mongolian army besieged Yangzhou. The Li Jianshe envoy sent me to ask the court to send troops to help."

Zhao Jiaren did not want to refuse this request. He had always thought that Mongolia might have been able to break through Lin'an and headed south quickly, but the Mongolian army waited left and right, and the troops were still silent. In his previous life, the county magistrates of various prefectures and counties surrendered, which was also the reason why Zhao Jiaren must treat Song traitors. However, although there are people in Lingnan prefectures and Fujian Road, there are some people who are worried about it, the officials just obediently when Zhao Jiaren sent officials to take over their positions. So Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian Road were all stabilized.

Since this is the case, Zhao Jiaren had to consider that the Mongolians' concept of war also changed with the situation. It is obvious that the Mongolians who had suffered in Zhao Jiaren did not want to travel hard in the mountains and then be bombarded under the city.
