Chapter 903: Recommend candidates and make the court’s decision
Among the dozen or so emperors of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Shen is considered a better one! He has the ambition to restore his homeland and is diligent! Moreover, he has a courtship every day. With this alone, he surpasses many emperors. .
However, the official administration of the Song Dynasty was corrupt, and Zhao Shen's passion was finally wronged! In the end, like Zhao Gou, he abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, passing the throne to Ning Zong and Zhao Kuo!
But this is so, the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years was basically laid by Zhao Shen!
That's why he was so angry when he saw Shen Tang's report!
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Several other people also knelt on the ground!
Zhao Shen just felt exhausted and weak. He wanted to change, but there were all constraints! Such a country was not what he wanted! Fortunately, there was Shen Tang, who gave him some comfort.
"Look, look at what these ministers of mine who love the people have done..."
"Snapped!"
Shen Tang's memorials and account books, including the confessions of many minor officials in the county government, were all thrown to the ground by Zhao Shen!
Shi Hao, who was closest to him, picked it up and looked at it. He was also shocked! Serious corruption, poor disaster relief, disregard of human life, officials forcing the people to rebel... Every one of these is a huge crime, but they are all. Gather in one place!
When Ye Yong finished reading, he felt a little dizzy! What on earth did his outstanding disciple do?
This time, even he would never dare to say a kind word for him.
"Deserves to be killed!"
Zhang Jun's beard and hair were all growing! Xiang Wenrui from the Ministry of Civil Affairs was even more frightened, and Jiang Maobin from the Ministry of Punishment also fell to the ground and did not dare to speak.
"I request an order to go to Xingyuan Mansion and find all the officials! The guilty will be severely punished and severely punished!"
Ye Yong spoke first.
Zhao Shen sneered, "By the time you go, all my people will have already died! Moreover, I already have imperial envoys in Xingyuan Mansion, so do you, the right minister, go there in person?"
"Shen Tang has already reported that for the sake of smooth local disaster relief and for the sake of settling down all the troubled people as soon as possible, we will carry out a strict investigation with the Emperor's Sword, and the guilty ones will be dealt with directly! Now, I am calling you here to discuss the next governor of Xingyuan Prefecture. , Lianshui County Magistrate, who should be sent there?"
Originally, this kind of thing was not decided in such a situation.
All it takes is for the officials to make a selection and then report it to the Zhongshu Province, and the prime minister will confirm it and finally report it to the emperor.
However, this time, Zhao Shen was obviously extremely disappointed with everyone in the Xingyuan Mansion and with the officials, so he called these people together to make a personal decision.
"Tell me about it!"
The official Xiang Wenrui hurriedly thought about the candidates in his mind, and others were also carefully guessing the emperor's thoughts.
"I recommend Fan Chengda, the Sihu of Suizhou, to join the army and go to Xingyuan Prefecture to serve as the magistrate of Lianshui County!"
Zhang Jun suddenly said.
"This man was a Jinshi in the 24th year of Shaoxing. He served in Huizhou and Suizhou successively! Before the war with the Jin Kingdom, Bian Xi fought with the Jin Kingdom at Tongbai Mountain, and most of the civilians, grain and grass in Suizhou were assisted and dispatched by this person! Not only did he have excellent literary talent And he is fair and just! Today, Lianshui County is in a time of panic and needs a fair person to appease the people..."
Zhao Shen nodded slightly, "Xiang Wenrui, how is this person?"
Hearing Zhao Shen's question, Xiang Wenrui quickly thought about this person's resume and experience in his mind. After a while, he nervously said, "In the previous assessment of Suizhou, Fan Chengda did have an excellent official reputation. Compared with his colleagues, They also get along very well with each other. He knows Suizhou and is a general judge. He speaks highly of this person!"
"continue!"
Zhao Shen said calmly.
At this time, Shi Hao cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I recommend that Zhenjiang Prefecture pass judgment on Lu You and be appointed magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture!"
"Lu You?"
Zhao Shen thought for a while and asked, "But back then, when Shang Shu was rectifying the military discipline and adhering to the Jianghuai River, Xu Tu's views on land affairs in the Central Plains?
I remember that back then he served as the official of the imperial edict, and later he served as the director of Dali Temple and the official secretary of the clan?"
Zhao Shen had a deep impression on Lu You! Especially when Lu You was a senior official at that time, Zhao Shen first came to Dabao. It was a time of great ambition and he simply could not wait that long.
Therefore, Lu You was directly demoted to the general magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture! However, after the Battle of Sizhou, Zhao Shen once again thought of Lu You when he was a Shang Shu, and he strongly agreed with his views!
"Exactly this person!"
Shi Hao said respectfully, "This person is an upright official, and it is best to be in charge of Xingyuan Mansion!"
Then, Xiang Wenrui from the Ministry of Personnel also carefully proposed several candidates! After all, this was his responsibility! But Jiang Maobin from the Ministry of Punishment did not speak.
And Ye Yong also rarely spoke.
He knew very well that the candidates proposed by Zhang Jun and Zhang Jun were all people who were beneficial to them.
However, because of Fan Anhe, it was already difficult for Zhao Shen not to cause trouble for him. If the candidate he proposed did not meet Zhao Shen's ideas, it would be even more disadvantageous.
I have no choice but to give up this opportunity.
"Okay! Shi Hao, send an order to Shen Tang immediately! Everything in Xingyuan Mansion will be done by him for his own convenience! Stabilize the situation first, arrest those officials who should be arrested, and kill those who should be killed! After that, let him temporarily choose The personnel are responsible for disaster relief matters in Xingyuan Prefecture, and other decisions will be made after the selected officials take office."
"Xiang Wenrui, tomorrow morning, you will report the detailed resumes of all the selected people as soon as possible! After the candidates are decided at tomorrow morning, we will immediately issue an order for the selected officials to take office as soon as possible."
"Jiang Maobin, immediately sent people from the corresponding local departments to the Northwest Fifth Road to investigate in detail the corruption of local officials and harm to the people! Although Shen Tang is an imperial envoy, he patrolled the Northwest Fifth Road and did not have so much energy. Moreover, there were some things It’s not convenient for Shen Tang to investigate! If you can’t give me a satisfactory result, you, the Minister of Punishment, should become an official!”
After hearing Zhao Shen's words, everyone hurriedly responded!
Under Zhao Shen's anger, all relevant matters were handled with special care! That night, the order to Shen Tang was sent out urgently.
In the morning meeting the next day, the candidates for the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture and Lianshui County were directly decided. It was Lu You and Fan Chengda recommended by Shi Hao and Zhang Jun.
Then, the transfer order was sent out immediately!
At the same time, the Ministry of Punishment sent many people including the Xingyuan Prefecture Division, the Longqing Prefecture Division, the Chongqing Prefecture Division, and the Shaoxi Prefecture Division to various places on the Northwest Five Roads to conduct detailed investigations on official governance, corruption and other conditions in various places.
Only the entire Chengdu Prefecture only sent a few people to Jiading Prefecture symbolically, and Chengdu Prefecture was not mentioned at all!
Of course Jiang Maobin is not a fool. Now Shen Tang is not only the Fifth Imperial Envoy, but also a popular person in the eyes of the emperor.
The troops he sent out might even be controlled by Shen Tang.
Under such circumstances, if he sends people to investigate matters in Chengdu Prefecture, wouldn't he be overestimating his capabilities and looking for trouble?
Even if it was found out, there would be no need for Shen Tang to open his mouth, Zhao Shen would have to trouble him first.
