Chapter 855: Investigate the prefect, the hearts of all ministers
Chapter 855: Investigate the magistrate, the hearts of all ministers
Zhao Shen's eyes slowly scanned the ministers below! Some people were different, some were curious, and some were uneasy!
"In the past few days, will there be any report from the Chengdu Prefecture on the corruption of the governor's bank and granary by Yu Huiran, the former prefect?"
Zhao Shen asked calmly!
Ye Yong's expression changed slightly, and then he went out to report, "Your Majesty! It is indeed true! However, I have not sent anyone to verify it yet, so this matter has not been reported to Your Majesty for the time being!"
Zhao Shen had a strange smile on his face, "Xiang Ye, do you want me to make you the King of Wei?"
"I will die!"
Ye Yong's expression changed drastically and he immediately fell to the ground!
The King of Wei took the Emperor to order the princes, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde!
Zhao Shen's words clearly meant a heavy rebuke!
"I am devoted to the Song Dynasty, and I dare not violate the Holy Will in the slightest! There is something wrong with me in this matter, please punish me!"
"Ye Yong, seize the title of Marquis of Xuanping! You will be punished for half a year! If you fail to report anything you know about again, you will sue!"
Zhao Shen said coldly!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
While Ye Yong was frightened, he couldn't help but feel relieved! After taking away the title, he could be rewarded again in the future if he had the chance. However, if he lost his title directly, at his current age, he didn't know if he would be able to wait until the time of recovery.
"Why don't you bring the report to the Chengdu government as soon as possible!"
Zhao Shen shouted sharply.
Ye Yong hurriedly got up, and not long after, another memorial came up! After Zhao Shen read it, he was furious!
"Okay! Great! A dignified prefect has corrupted the government treasury and official warehouses to the tune of more than one million taels of silver in a few years! He deserves to be damned!"
After seeing the contents of Shen Tang's report, Zhao Shen was furious! He knew that there were many moths in the Song Dynasty, but the actual situation was still beyond his imagination!
"Snapped!"
Zhao Shen threw the memorial directly into the lobby, "Tell me how to deal with it!"
Shi Hao picked it up, and after reading it, his face was full of anger! After everyone had finished reading, Shi Hao thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, this is a serious corruption of Hui Ran. He has been in office before, so he can directly order the Chengdu Prefecture He will be punished! His family property will be confiscated and he will be exiled thousands of miles away. His family members will be dealt with according to the law! Officials related to him will be dealt with by the Chengdu Prefecture according to the law!"
"What can you say?"
Zhao Shen asked angrily.
At this time, facing the furious Zhao Shen, how could the ministers dare to speak casually! Moreover, this kind of thing was a well-known secret! However, Yu Huiran was unlucky and encountered Shen Tang and exposed the matter. came out.
Now, I don’t know how many people hate this Yu Huiran. How can they still intercede for him?
"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true!"
"This evil beast should be severely punished..."
"Shi Hao, send an order to the Chengdu Prefecture immediately! Hui Ran will be punished first! The rest will be dealt with by the Chengdu Prefecture according to the law. After the matter is completed, it will be reported to the court!"
Zhao Shen said to Shi Hao.
"My lord, I obey!"
After a few words, Yu Huiran was dealt with first, and then Zhao Shen picked up the Chengdu government's memorial on water conditions and said, "Go and let all my ministers take a look!"
The royal authority responded to the memorial in Chengdu and distributed it to all the courtiers!
Shi Hao and others watched with attention, looking shocked, surprised, moved and deeply admired! They knew that even if they were in Shen Tang's position, they would never be able to do better than Shen Tang!
"Okay! My son-in-law of the Great Song Dynasty, and my soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty! They are all good!"
Zhang Jun exclaimed in shock, "Our soldiers of the Song Dynasty can kill the enemy and protect the people! With such soldiers and generals, our Song Dynasty will be prosperous!"
Everyone was extremely shocked when they saw these memorials from the Chengdu Prefecture. What Shen Tang did was beyond everyone's expectations! They had never even thought of using such a method to provide disaster relief.
"Look, it's the same place all the way, and it's the same place of one prefecture! These prefectures will only report dangers, and will only reach out to the court to ask for money and food! However, Chengdu Prefecture also has several prefectures, and dozens of counties are suffering. Why? Are there no refugees in Chengdu Prefecture?
Why can the military and civilians of Chengdu Prefecture unite as one?
Is it because other state capitals don’t have soldiers from the Song Dynasty, or do they not have yamen?”
"This flood caused tens of thousands of soldiers and casualties in Chengdu Prefecture, but only a few people were affected by the disaster! Shen Tang, as the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture, can lead by example and is not afraid of life and death! I want to ask you, In that case, among the civil and military officials of our dynasty, how many people dare to jump? How many people can do better than Shen Tang!"
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison!
Before, Zhao Shen had been accustomed to the court providing relief wherever disasters occurred! He even thought that these disasters were really beyond the power of manpower to contend with! However, the Chengdu Prefecture's report and Shen Tang's actions made him know that it was not the case. How terrible this disaster was, but the local officials of the Song Dynasty did nothing!
Compared with Shen Tang, other local officials are simply useless!
"My lord, it's better than Shen Tang!"
There is admiration and calmness in Zhang Jun's eyes!
"I am not as good as Lord Shen!"
Shi Hao sighed and said.
They talk about serving the country and the people almost every day, but Shen Tang is the only one who can really do it.
At least, Shen Tang did it much better than them, and it was much more real.
"I am not as good as Master Shen..."
The civil and military officials present could look down on Shen Tang.
They can even despise Shen Tang's behavior! After all, Mencius once said, 'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!'
How could their dignified and high-ranking officials do such things that are not beneficial to themselves?
However, they have to admire Shen Tang! In that situation, jumping without hesitation is not something that can be done simply by saying "for the country and the people!" People like them can't do it!
"Today, Shen Tang is still in a coma, and the report from the Chengdu Prefecture does not contain any words of greed for reward.
But, look at these state capitals! In addition to asking me for money and food, some even shamelessly want rewards from me! Where is their face?"
The more Zhao Shen thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could bring all these local officials back and beat them up one by one!
"Master Shen has served the country and the people, and your majesty should reward him! In addition, the Chengdu government is in short supply of money and food because of Yu Huiran! Regarding the money, your majesty can directly issue an order to seize Yu Huiran's private property and directly transfer it to the government treasury for use.
In addition, the imperial court should immediately mobilize grain and grass and transport it to Chengdu Prefecture! Now that Mr. Shen has sacrificed his life to ensure the stability of the people of Chengdu Prefecture, the imperial court cannot ignore the next thing!"
"That's right! It's an urgent matter to reward Master Shen and gather food and fodder!"
There are no fools in the court, and everyone knows that trying to suppress Shen Tang at this moment is simply wishful thinking.
Therefore, it is better to add icing on the cake. Besides, even if they don't say these things, Zhao Shen will do it! In this case, then everyone can just carry the sedan together...
