Who do these laws set by feudal interest groups serve?

Naturally, it was to safeguard the interests of the decadent feudal bureaucracy.

However, after all, the country must be governed with justice, so this group of Confucian believers always hope to put on a coat of honor and integrity when doing things.

For example, when Chen Biqing was debating this time, he kept talking about benevolent politics and acted for the sake of the common people in the world.

Young people who are new to the world are very susceptible to his tricks.

Even when I hear those macro-concept words, I can immediately be moved to tears.

When he, Zhao Ning, appeared, he swung the butcher's knife at the bureaucrats mercilessly, and the bureaucrats endured for eight years in trembling fear.

Now that the situation in Song and Jin Dynasties has finally calmed down, some people have started to cause trouble.

Their methods of doing things were not unscrupulous. While they stirred up disputes in the court, the people also began to use the Spring and Autumn style of writing to influence many young people.

In the end, more and more people believed that he should not be killed, thus achieving the purpose of building public opinion and using public opinion to coerce the people and fight against the imperial court.

Zhao Ning walked back and forth in the hall: It seems that some people have finally realized that my base is public opinion, and have begun to influence public opinion to put pressure on me.

When there is a large-scale public opposition to "indiscriminate killing", Zhao Ning can no longer kill easily.

Because the fundamentals have already expressed their position.

"Officials, do you want to investigate all those officials who are against killing people?"

"In what name are you investigating?" Zhao Ning said coldly, "The ministers just expressed their opinions and expressed their opinions, so you want to investigate them? Who will dare to discuss politics in the future?"

"Yes, that's what the officials said."

"Continue to observe and don't mess around."

"yes!"

"Go! Find Luo Congyan and Hu Yin and ask them to come see me."

"yes!"

Faced with the situation at hand, Zhao Ning naturally had a solution.

Even if someone spreads ideas among the people and wants to influence public opinion, it cannot be done in a short time.

This is not a game, where you can complete the task immediately with just a click of the mouse.

To influence public opinion, you must find a large group of influential people, let these people speak, influence more people, and wait until the ideas are widely spread to form a trend.

Finally, after a certain case occurs, the people behind it use this case to detonate public opinion.

For example, if an unjust case occurs in a certain place and many people have accepted the idea of ​​abolition of the death penalty, it is very easy to arouse public opinion. A large number of people stand up and express their intention to abolish the death penalty and ask Zhao Guanjia to kill more carefully and less often in the future.

How could he, Zhao Ning, not know this kind of operation?

This is an internal public opinion war.

Luo Congyan was the leader of officialdom and had great influence among young officials.

Hu Yin was in charge of the Song Dynasty newspaper and was the vanguard of public opinion.

Zhao Ning was not in a hurry, he took a nap in Wende Hall for a while.

There was snow falling outside, but it was warm inside the palace.

"The official family, the official family..."

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Ning was woken up by Wang Huaiji's voice.

"A secret report has been sent from the north."

Zhao Ning took it over and found that this secret report was sent by Yu Wenxuzhong and was sealed with wax.

He opened it slowly and took a look, and immediately became excited: Wan Yanchang wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty!

This is great!

He immediately picked up his pen and began to reply to Yu Wenxuzhong.

The general meaning is to maintain the relationship with Wan Yanchang, to keep Wan Yanchang's handle, to give Wan Yanchang benefits, and at the same time to give Wan Yanchang no way out of regret.

In short, Wan Yanchang should be allowed to shine in the Kingdom of Jin.

Of course, you have to draw a cake for Wan Yanchang, and draw a big cake. You, Yu Wenxuzhong, can draw whatever cake you want.

After sending the letter, Zhao Ning was in a particularly good mood.

If greater disputes can be created within the Jin Kingdom, the resistance to exterminating Xia will be further reduced.

Not long after, Luo Congyan and Hu Yin both arrived.

"I see your Majesty."

"No gift."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ning said: "I summoned you here because I have something to ask you."

"Your Majesty, please make it clear."

"Recently, a group of corrupt officials from Jiangdong were escorted to the capital."

Luo Congyan said: "I have heard a little bit about it."

"How do you think this should be handled?"

Hu Yin immediately noticed something strange. Why did the Zhao Guan family suddenly intervene in Jiangdong's case?

It seems that the Ministry of Punishment has not yet filed a report on this matter.

Since the Ministry of Punishment has not submitted the declaration yet, the Zhao Guan family has asked in advance, which is different from usual.

However, Luo Congyan didn't think so much.

Luo Congyan is an academic talent, just like Chen Li, relatively pure.

He said: "The Ministry of Criminal Justice should be able to hear this matter impartially."

"I want to hear what you two think." Zhao Ning was not busy expressing his position, let alone the current situation.

Luo Congyan continued: "If these officials are merely corrupt, they can be convicted based on the amount of corruption. Those who are guilty of less corruption will be dismissed from office, sentenced to prison, or imprisoned. Those who are corrupted more will have a huge impact and should be judged based on the circumstances. If it is just pure corruption, they will be judged based on the circumstances.

If you cooperate with the court in recovering the stolen money, you will avoid death, but if you are dismissed from office, you will never be hired, you will not be able to enter the official career for three generations, and you will be sent to the frontier."

"If you don't cooperate with the recovery of the stolen money, you will be executed!"

"If it is not just corruption, but also affects the government's governance, preys on the people, and harms the countryside, he should be put to death to uphold the law of the country!"

Luo Congyan is a well-known person who can be forgiven for small mistakes but never forgiven for big ones.

This person's attitude towards officialdom is very clear.

This was also the reason why Zhao Ning asked him to teach at the official school.

After all these years, Luo Congyan has never changed his original intention.

Hu Yin also nodded and said: "I also agree with Mr. Luo's statement. In recent years, under the strict anti-corruption and rectification of officials in the court, there has been a clear future. Although there are still many corrupt officials lurking in the dark, but

The court must not let down its vigilance!"

"You two are right, please step back."

"I take my leave."

The attitudes of these two people are more important than the prime minister's.

The prime minister can only influence the people below him in terms of administrative power, but he may not be able to influence it from an ideological level.

But these two people can do it.

Regarding this matter, Zhao Ning was not in a hurry.

He also wanted to see what Chen Biqing would do next and what actions the officials from the Ministry of Punishment would make next.

He even wanted to see which officials in the court wanted to actively cooperate and participate in promoting the debate between killing and not killing.

Is there anyone behind Chen Biqing?

As an emperor, you should not express your thoughts easily.

Time flies so fast, and it’s already the end of the year.

Before the New Year, Liu Yan, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, suddenly wrote a memorial and submitted it.

This memorial is called "The First Trial of the Jiangdong Case and the Justice of Benevolent Government".

You can tell from the name what the composition of this memorial is.

The memorial was first thrown into the Zhengshi Hall, where it aroused heated discussion. It was not until December 25 that it was delivered to Zhao Guan's house.

Things are still unfolding, and the impact is spreading rapidly.

Soon, most officials in the capital began to pay attention.
