When Zhao Shu saw this list, he was full of heart and admiration.

Ginger is so spicy, and the old ginger of Father is so spicy!

Zhao Zhen kept pretending to be stupid. When he negotiated with the officials of the Zhengshi Hall, he deliberately wanted to take advantage, making people mistakenly think that he wanted to make concessions and settle things.

But don’t forget how angry Zhao Zhen was when he just received the stock market news!

He knew very well that the wealth of these people was almost accumulated over the past forty years when he was emperor. It was really ironic. As the emperor, he was kind and magnanimous, but he actually left a lot of corrupt officials to the next generation. How could Zhao Zhen feel if he didn't deal with these people!

Therefore, he deliberately showed weakness and deliberately lured the enemy into the depths.

As expected, this list was obtained. With this thing, it was equivalent to holding a confession and the list of gods. Whoever wanted to die would not escape!

It’s ridiculous that all the officials thought they could get back their losses, but they didn’t know that they would even lose their lives!

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, "Emperor, do you know what to do?"

Zhao Shu excitedly waved his fist, "My son understand, my son understands everything!"

"Okay, let them in!"

Zhao Shu immediately ran to pass the imperial edict. Soon after, several ministers from the Political Affairs Hall and more than a dozen representatives of officials came to the bedroom. After the ceremony, they were placed on both sides.

Zhao Zhen asked someone to move a dunzi to Bao Zheng, and then said, "I just asked, and the prince told me that he did participate in the stock market transactions. The ministers have lost so much, so he is willing to compensate everyone."

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he waved to Zhao Shu, "Son, please talk to everyone."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhao Shu turned around from the side and came to Bao Zheng. He first bowed his hand. Bao Zheng owed his body and looked a little embarrassed. To be honest, they are called forcing the palace, especially the prince is not yet adult, and he is a half-jun again. What is the difference between doing this and bullying a child?

Lao Bao was very embarrassed and could only say: "Your Highness is kind and generous, cherishes all officials, and understands the sufferings. Dear colleagues, you should also deeply understand Your Highness's intentions, handles the poor well, and be loyal to the Song Dynasty. Don't always focus on wealth and goods exchanges. Good officials in the court will become a businessman full of money. Isn't it shameful?"

All the officials stood upright, and they were still unhappy!

Yadi only agreed to compensate the original price. Now the stock has tripled. We have lost so much money and stuffed it into the prince's pocket. This kid is simply greedy and has the same virtue as his damn master.

Let’s take a look. Don’t think that you are the prince. We have nothing to do. As long as the opportunity comes, even the emperor is not afraid!

They were all holding back their resentment. When this ended, they looked for an opportunity to make the prince ugly!

Zhao Shu smiled slightly, "Please, the common people often say, brothers, settle accounts clearly. Orphans can return the profits, but there are a few things that Orphans must explain clearly."

Bao Zheng nodded, "Please speak with your throne."

"Well, Bao Xianggong, the first point is that I asked the Royal Bookstore to come forward and buy stocks and bonds because I saw the stock market collapse and was worried that the major plan for the development of the Western Regions would be blocked, so I stood up to protect the market. The prince of Xiliang and Master Foyin from Daxiangguo Temple were also attacked with me... We bought stocks not for profit, because the road was cut off at that time, and we didn't know what the situation in the battle in Ganzhou was... However, unlike you all, I would like to believe in Master, willing to believe in King Xiliang, and bet on a lot of money, for the sake of national affairs and for the love of master and apprentice. As for some people who slander and say that they would release rumors in advance and suppress the stock market, I would never admit this hat... Gu also hopes that Bao Xianggong can order a thorough investigation and find out the person who really spread rumors. If it is related to Gu, Gu is willing to apologize to his father, dismiss the prince, or impose the Western Regions, Gu is willing to bear it with all his strength."

Zhao Shu spoke so strongly and loudly, as if he really didn't know.

The people present were not stupid, they thought Zhao Shu was afraid of being charged.

After all, if you refund the money, it means he did something wrong, which means admitting that he released the rumors. In that case, it will be a big blow to the prince's reputation.

It is necessary to make this clarification.

Bao Zheng said: "Your Highness, the old minister will definitely order the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate to investigate thoroughly. Over the years, all kinds of rumors have been everywhere between the court and the people, and it has seriously disrupted the court. It must be rectified!"

Zhao Shu nodded with a smile, "I am very pleased with Mr. Bao's words. For this second thing, I want to ask the officials present... In addition to the false charge of spreading rumors, is there anything wrong with me buying and selling stocks and bonds?"

ah!

Everyone thought Zhao Shu was going to pay back the money!

Why did it get illegal again?

What's going on here?

Before these people could figure it out, Sima Guang stood up, "Your Highness, the court has no regulations on the stock and bond markets at present. In the past, official bonds were entrusted by the Royal Bank to underwrite them. As for private bonds and stocks, the people were responsible... I once proposed to formulate corresponding rules, but the Ministry of Revenue, if it is not easy to restrict them at will, I have not come up with a strategy for a long time."

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Sima Xianggong, since this is the case, can we think that the orphan did not commit the criminal order of the Song Dynasty?"

All officials are all human spirits. After hearing this, they don’t understand that Zhao Shu is trying to escape from his crime!

As a censor, Lu Hui was the leader of the first person this time. How could he escape? He hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Highness, as the crown prince of a country, he is the focus of everyone and respects virtue from all directions. As a model in the world, he should go straight to the right way. Merchants are a minor business, gentlemen work hard, and the court values ​​agriculture. I think it is an inappropriate move for your highness to buy and sell stocks and bonds. I dare to ask Your Highness to change his course!"

After he finished speaking, several people stood up one after another in the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Ministry of Revenue.

The general idea is similar. If you don’t admit to spreading rumors, we dare not give the prince a random hat. But if you buy the stock market at the bottom and snatch everyone’s money, this is a well-known thing. If you are right, who will give us money?

These officials spoke in unison, saying that it was wrong to think that the prince was involved in business.

Some people even say that commercial transactions focus on fairness. The prince is half of the king. When he participates, who dares to let the prince lose money? Therefore, he can only sacrifice his innocent people and cause damage to others.

The implication is that they are victims and it is natural to receive compensation.

Facing the teachings of all officials, Zhao Shu sneered.

The shamelessness of literati can be seen!

He was full of ridicule and said disdainfully: "I can hear the lessons of all lords clearly and understand your hard work. The income from buying and selling stocks is inappropriate, incompatible with the law, and inconsistent with the feelings... Therefore, I need to return the money to all the masters. What do you mean?"

Lu Hui and others looked at each other and nodded together, "Your Highness is wise."

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Shu suddenly burst into laughter, making everyone's hair stand up.

"My servants, since the reason and law are not understood, they will return it. If I recognize it, I will definitely return it! But... I want to ask where did you get the money!"

Suddenly Zhao Shu raised the list high, and he suddenly stretched out his finger, pointed at Lu Hui, and said angrily: "Mr. Lu, there is 300,000 guan from your family. Can you ask you to provide evidence and tell Or, how did your family's money come from? If each guan is clean and impeccable, Or, not only will he return it all, but he will also return it according to the shares you bought at that time. That is to say, you can get stocks worth 900,000 guan; haha, if you don't want to explain clearly... you must know that the court will never be sympathetic to corrupt officials!"

boom!

A thunder erupted in everyone's ears.

Rumble, earth-shaking.

But it made people stunned and scared!

Among these people, the least surprising thing is Sima Guang. He is in charge of the money and is Wang Ning'an's spokesperson for staying in the capital. If Xiao Guanyin and Gou Yaer were really in danger, Sima Guang would have taken action long ago.

Wang Ning'an sent Su Shi back, just telling everyone that no one should move, just watch the fun. The emperor must have a way to solve the problem.

When Zhao Zhen agreed to return the gains in one breath, Sima Guang kept his mind.

During his years in the Political Affairs Hall, he deeply understood one truth: if you want to manage a huge empire well, the most fundamental thing is one word: money!

In fact, many people will subconsciously make a mistake when looking at history, believing that any prosperous era is a wise ruler and wise ministers, and any decline is a foolish emperor and incompetent ministers... But the actual situation is often not the case.

Those monarchs and ministers who created prosperous times may not be perfect, and those monarchs and ministers who destroyed the country may not be all bastards. The reason why they are very different is because the difficulty of governing the country is completely different.

For example, Emperor Wu of Han held the huge financial surplus left by the rule of Wen and Jing in his hand, and was full of local tyrants and arrogant! When doing things, he made drastic moves and was at ease, so he naturally seemed talented and unparalleled in the world.

If he had reached Chongzhen's virtue, he had no money in his hands, and had a lot of debts, he would cut off the only eunuch party who could grab money everywhere and fill the country's use. No matter how hard he worked, even if he had patches all over his body, he could not recover the decline. After all, if he didn't give money, he would not be able to do anything...

Zhao Zhen has been the emperor for forty years, how could he not understand the role of money?

Can you give up a few million chunks of money just by saying it?

The emperor is born the biggest hooligan, and whoever believes is a fool!

Of course, Sima Guang would not remind these people that it has nothing to do with me if you die, I am just watching the show.

Sure enough, when Zhao Shu suddenly got angry and pointed his finger at Lu Hui, it scared everyone present.

Oh my God, not only will you not be able to get back the money, but you will also have to pay your life!

Lu Hui is not at ease. He knows that if he is labeled as a corrupt official, his life will be over!

Lu Hui suddenly felt full of grief and anger and said angrily: "Your Highness, I have been an official in my family for generations and have received the kindness of the country. It is not surprising that some savings are not unusual! I bought stocks to help the court develop the Western Regions. My hard work can be seen at the best of all time!"

"Yeah?"

Zhao Shu didn't believe it at all, "Guangdu Bao, how much salary do you have in a year as prime minister?"

"Your Highness... the old minister's annual salary, plus the reward, is nearly 5,000 guan." Bao Zheng's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

Zhao Shu nodded and suddenly turned to Lu Hui, saying sternly: "So, 300,000 guan, you have to be prime minister for 60 years, and you have to save it without eating or drinking! Oh, by the way, Lord Lu, what you have taken out is cash. My salary in the court is often only 20%. In other words, you need to be prime minister for 300 years. Lord Lu, have your family been prime minister since the Tang Dynasty?"
