Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Uncle Zhang said that those who disturb the morale of the army will be killed. You all are making fun of it!" Gao Qi said, and followed the imperial guards out.

"Your Majesty, killing a minister will damage His Majesty's holy name, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"If this is the holy name, I don't want this kind of holy name!"

Xu Bingzhe screamed like a pig butchered and struggled violently.

He will probably become the first minister of the Song Dynasty to be hacked to death outside the Chuigong Hall.

Xu Bingzhe was tied up, then pressed to the ground, and he let out a miserable scream.

Then the Imperial Guard raised his knife and slashed it down. With a click, the knife stuck in his neck.

Blood spattered out, and then wiped the snow on the ground.

After Xu Bingzhe let out a scream, he couldn't cry out because the back of his neck was cut in half.

He could only make a "babbling, babbling" sound, and the severe pain made his face contort.

The Imperial Guard obviously didn't kill people often, he was a little rusty and trembling with fright.

Gao Qiu shouted: "Don't make the second cut! You all want to die!"

He immediately reacted, pulled out the knife, and slashed down with force, and then chopped off Xu Bingzhe's head.

The human head rolled in the snow, turned on its side.

Xu Bingzhe still had the painful expression on his face at the moment before he died, and his eyes were wide open.

Hearing that there were no screams outside, everyone knew that Xu Bingzhe had been killed, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze.

Gao Qiu walked in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Bingzhe has been executed."

"Hang his head in front of the city gate and show it to the public. I want everyone to see what will happen to the capitulators!"

"Yes!"

No one spoke, and no one dared to speak again.

But everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Shuye and Gao Qiu, especially Zhang Shuye.

Zhang Shuye is also a civil servant, but many people think he is a traitor, he has pulled down the bottom line of politics.

The next struggle in the court may not be about who is demoted or who is dismissed.

It's really life and death!

Zhao Ning said again: "Uncle Zhang."

"The minister is here."

"From today onwards, you will be in charge of everything in the city!"

"The minister leads the order!"

"Liu Kai!"

"Chen is here!"

"You assist Zhang Shuye."

"The minister leads the order!"

"The rest of the people will all cooperate with Zhang Shuye. Whoever dares to talk nonsense about negotiating peace will hang his head on the city wall!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor flicked his sleeves and immediately entered the Chui Gong Palace.

Chapter 14 A Mission for Qin Hui

After retreating, the sky was still dark, and it was still snowing outside.

Xu Bingzhe's head was sent to the gate of the inner city and hung up.

Killing people without ransacking their homes is like falling in love with a girl and not having sex. That's not what a normal person should do.

So after retiring from the court, Zhao Ning asked Wang Huaiji to send a message to Zhongshu Sheren (an official who specially drafted the edict) of Zhongshu Province to draft an edict and copy Xu Bingzhe's home.

As for the family members, what should they do?

Originally, this kind of matter was also a big event in the Song Dynasty, and it needed to be discussed by the chief executives, but now Zhao Ning obviously started to make his own decisions, surpassing the chief executives, and wanted to make things happen.

There is no way, I have no money now, the one who ransacked the house must be the fastest.

After Wang Huaiji took the order, he ran to Zhongshu Province.

Right now the situation has just opened a hole, and there are still too many things to do.

For example, there is still a very important and urgent thing to do: strictly control public opinion in Tokyo.

Zhao Ning returned to Wende Hall.

At this time, there was a person waiting outside Wende Hall.

Who?

This person has a great reputation in history, but he is notorious, and even has a bad reputation for thousands of years. Everyone shouts and scolds him.

Qin Hui!

During the Jingkang period, Qin Hui's official position was Wai Lang, a staff member of the Ministry of War.

What does the Staff Division of the Ministry of War do?

One of the four divisions of the Ministry of War, in charge of maps, city gods, castle battlements, Sifang overseas return to the court and other affairs, and also responsible for the treasury department.

In the Song Dynasty, the Ministry of War was under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and the Minister of the Ministry of War had no real power. Officials in the Ministry of War were basically doing miscellaneous work.

Qin Hui was appointed by Zhao Huan as the staff member Wailang because he had previously written to Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, hoping that the court would take a tough attitude towards the Jin people and resolutely take the lead in the battle.

That is to say, look at this buddy is full of drive, to save face, you come to the Ministry of War.

That's right!

During the Jingkang period, Qin Hui was a staunch fighter.

During the Jingkang disaster, Qin Hui was taken captive to the north together, and returned to the south five years later, as if he had been a different person, and began his shameless, despicable, and dirty life.

Qin Hui stood outside Wende Hall, he could feel the majesty of Wende Hall, and his heart was full of awe.

Seeing the emperor coming, Qin Hui hurriedly saluted: "I see Your Majesty, Sheng'an."

Here Qin Hui called "Your Majesty" instead of "official family" directly, which also shows that Qin Hui respected the emperor on the scene and deliberately opened the distance between the monarch and his subjects.

A petty official like him is usually not even qualified to go to court, let alone meet the emperor.

It is a great honor to see Tianyan.

Zhao Ning glanced at this person, feeling endlessly in his heart, this is Qin Hui!

Qin Hui is an extremely shameless person, a person who can't be cleansed no matter what, his manipulation of power in history and the killing of Yue Fei definitely had a very bad influence.

Don't talk about the nonsense that Yue Fei has a low EQ, Qin Hui killed Yue Fei on "unnecessary" charges, even a shameless person like Qin Hui can't find a reason to kill Yue Fei, you say Yue Fei has a low EQ?

It stands to reason that such a person should not be used.

But Zhao Ning, I feel that even a pile of shit in the toilet has its uses.

For some dogs, it is not too late to kill them after they are used up.

In terms of black belly, Zhao Ning is also at the master level.

"Qin Qing, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Your Majesty is busy."

"Go, go in and talk."

Qin Hui followed Zhao Ning into Wende Hall.

Wende Hall was very warm, the emperor sat down, and Qin Hui stood there.

"The current situation is severe. I still remember the memorial you gave me last time."

Qin Hui's mind was also spinning, the emperor suddenly wanted to summon him, he didn't know why, he didn't dare to ask more, just stood there obediently.

"You're right, the court should be stronger with the Jin people, and we can't let the Jin people think that our court is too weak, and the Jin people are greedy."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"But in the city of Tokyo, there are still many people who want to negotiate peace with the Jin people. I think this is a big problem. Do you have a solution?"

Qin Hui was a little dazed all of a sudden, you know, he is just a staff member of the Ministry of War, Wai Lang, and a department-level cadre.

On the strategic level of this kind of state affairs, the Zhao family usually discusses with the chief executives of the two governments. When will it be his turn, a little Yuanwailang?

However, he still bite the bullet and said: "I think that the hearts of the people are available right now. When uniting everyone in Tokyo to defend against the enemy, uniting people's hearts is the most important thing."

Hey, don't tell me, Qin Hui's official position is a little low, and his character is extremely shameless, but this person's ability is absolutely nothing to say.

Compared with He Li who took part in the scientific examination in the same year, Qin Hui is much stronger than He Li in certain abilities.

For example, right now, he hit the nail on the head.

Is the most important thing in Tokyo right now is to negotiate peace with the Jinren?

Absolutely not!

Is it to rectify the weapons and fight the Jinren?

Nor is it!

It is to unite the hearts of the people, to unite as one!

Song Huizong Zhao Ji and Song Qinzong Zhao Huan had made the city of Tokyo, especially the court hall, into a mess. Internal fighting was common, and the main battle and the main peace were always vacillating.

As a result, many people in Tokyo are anxious, exhausted, how to fight?

Zhao Ning said: "Then how to gather people's hearts?"

Qin Hui said: "Naturally, the officials have shown to everyone in the city that they are resolute in the fight."

He still didn't know what happened in the court just now, so he persuaded the emperor like this.

"I do have an idea, I plan to set up a temporary mansion newspaper office, called the Tokyo Daily, and you will be in charge. The Tokyo Daily publishes newspapers to the capital every day, publicizes the main battle, and calls on everyone to unite as one and resolutely fight the Jinren to the death. how?"

Qin Hui was a little dazed, he didn't expect the emperor to summon him today because of this incident.

He immediately said: "The minister takes orders, and he will live up to the official's trust!"

In fact, there were two lines of power in ancient China.

[-]. Secular imperial power, that is, political power.

[-]. The power of orthodoxy and jurisprudence, that is, the invisible ideological authority of scholars.

The imperial power is in charge of specific administration, while the orthodox legal principles of scholars are supreme, and they have the right to interpret everything, that is, the right to public opinion.

The biggest check and balance on the imperial power actually comes from here. The imperial power must rely on orthodox legal principles, otherwise it will become injustice.

This set of orthodox jurisprudence originated from Zhouli and was carried forward by Confucius. Since then, Confucian sages have continued to refine it.

At this time, Zhao Ning wanted to set up a separate Yamen for the distribution of the Dibao, and it was definitely not just for the next war mobilization.

He is planning.

Killing Xu Bingzhe in the court today will inevitably cause shock among the scholar-bureaucrats.

He wants to completely change the situation in the Song Dynasty, and the war with Confucian scholars will only intensify in the future.

Therefore, he must have a public opinion tool that is completely in his own hands, and compete with scholars for the power of orthodoxy and legal principles.

The Tokyo Daily is just the beginning.

Chapter 15 The Provocation of Bureaucracy

In fact, the Great Song Dynasty had its own Dibao publishing organization called Dujin Zouyuan.

Jinzuoyuan existed in the Tang Dynasty.

The main content of the Dibao includes the following points: the emperor's activities, the emperor's edict, the appointment and dismissal of officials, the memorials of officials, and important political and military intelligence.

It is equivalent to Jingshi announcing some important information to the world.

The main readers of the Di Bao are officials from all over the country, and it is the channel through which the capital conveys central orders to officials from all over the country.

The Dujin Zouyuan in the Song Dynasty was affiliated to the Zhengshitang, and its executive power was in the hands of the prime minister of the Zhengshitang.

The prime minister is an official of the foreign court.
