Zhao Junsheng also knows that only killing people is not enough, and it is impossible to prevent officials from enforcing laws and breaking the law. Criminals kill more and more officials. Many people don't understand why officials who commit crimes kill more and more officials. Are these officials not afraid of death? Aren't you afraid that your official career will end here?

No, of course they are also afraid, but more of them are lucky.

Therefore, Zhao Junsheng knew that it was necessary to strengthen the education of officials in terms of loyalty, integrity, and hard work. Only by reforming them from the ideological point of view can such things be reduced.

Zhao Junsheng set an example, this person is Yang Baonian, the former magistrate of Xingyang County!When the former prefect Cui Yanze and a group of officials used their power for personal gain, embezzled the funds for river management projects, disaster relief funds and materials, as well as various funds, fish and meat, and the common people, he persisted at the disaster relief site like a clear stream, tried his best to get food and herbs, and saved many people. The lives of the victims, while doing these things, he has to face the plots and difficulties of Cui Yanze and others. To be able to do this shows that his ability is extraordinary.

Yang Baonian was also promoted to the prefect because of his outstanding performance in this disaster relief. It is not an ordinary difficulty to be promoted from the county magistrate to the prefect. If you want to be a prefect, you must first work in the imperial government for a period of time. If there is a vacancy, you may not have the opportunity It is extremely rare for Yang Baonian to be promoted on the spot to serve as the prefect. It is also like when marching and fighting. In order to strengthen the control of the army and gather the morale of the army, the superiors often promote the meritorious soldiers.

This time, for disaster relief, a large number of officials in Xingyang County were investigated and arrested, resulting in a situation where government affairs were left unattended and disaster relief was slow. After Yang Baonian took office as the prefect, many officials with outstanding performance were promoted, and a considerable number of them The petty official was promoted to an official.

Zhao Junsheng killed a group of people and promoted a group with his decisive and ruthless means, and set up a group of good and bad models, which greatly deterred some officials who had a fluke mentality, and at the same time made the role models who were set famous. It spread all over the world and played a great role in publicizing and educating other officials.

The second day after Zhao Junsheng led the team into Hanoi County, Bai Jinguang, who was dealing with the aftermath, led people to catch up with the big team.

That night, Bai Jinguang reported to Zhao Junsheng the results of the confiscation of the property of those criminal officials.

“陛下，臣在荥阳郡对那些犯官的家产进行查抄，一共抄得黄金3万两千450二金、铜钱1000两百万54万三千680九贯、还有其他金银器皿、珠宝玉石一千630五件！

In addition, according to His Majesty's instructions, the houses, properties, shops, and carriages and horses are all handed over to the local government for sale, and the proceeds are also received by the local government and used to help the victims rebuild their homes and resume production. The specific amount has been recorded. Available for His Majesty's inspection! "

Zhao Junsheng took the check list of property, opened it, looked at it, and said with a cold snort: "My good fellow, these moths are really good at searching, and the total sum is almost equal to half of my annual taxes and taxes. See It’s not wrong to come to kill!”

Xingyang County and Hanoi County are two rich and big counties, and they can pay a lot of taxes to the court every year. It is no wonder that these criminals can loot so much. This year's autumn tax is over due to the natural disaster.

Yuan Huan came over and presented a memorial and said: "Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent by the new Xingyang prefect Yang Baonian!"

Zhao Junsheng took the memorial and looked at it, and said: "Yang Baonian said in the memorial that he asked me to reduce the tax of Xingyang County for the next two years, so that the people affected by the disaster can recuperate!"

After the memorial was written, it was handed to Yuan Huan, and he ordered: "Send someone to send it back, and let the common people know the news and be happy!"

"promise!"

Soon, Zhao Ping's affairs in Xingyang County were also settled, and he led the police officers of the Imperial City Division to chase after Zhao Junsheng's team.

After Zhao Junsheng heard about it, he sent someone to announce him to see him.

When Zhao Junsheng saw him coming, he asked: "The Shenwu army seized the property of the prisoners in Xingyang County, and obtained more than 3 gold, more than 1000 copper coins, and many gold, silver and jewelry utensils. How much is the family property of the criminals you investigated in Hanoi County? Where is it placed?"

Zhao Ping replied: "Going back to my father, when I investigated the property of the criminal officials in Hanoi County, I got a total of more than 500 gold, [-] million copper coins, and more than [-] pieces of gold, silver, jewelry, and utensils. At present, these stolen money are sealed in Hanoi officials. In the warehouse!"

Zhao Jun was so angry that he had never confiscated more property in Hanoi than in Xingyang County, but it is also understandable that Hanoi County has always been much richer than Xingyang, so it is normal to find out so much stolen money.

Zhao Junsheng rubbed his brows, "I didn't expect this natural disaster to occur, and the imperial government's disaster relief not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money. Don't you think it is ridiculous? Is it because I am incompetent, or are these things that should be cut into pieces too rampant?"

Officials and military generals knelt down one after another and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Zhao Ping knelt on the ground and said: "Father, please calm down. After all, these people are only a very small number of my high-ranking officials. Thanks to the natural disaster this time, they showed their true colors, and the court was able to rescue them in time to rectify the law of the country! "

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Get up, I didn't blame you, you are you, they are them! I am not so confused as to implicate innocent people! By the way, how far is this place from Huai County?"

Zhao Ping replied: "There are still more than forty miles, and we should be able to reach Huai County at noon tomorrow!"

Some officials said: "Your Majesty's royal family has arrived here, and the officials of the Hanoi County Prefect's Mansion didn't send people to meet and make contact matters. It's really unreasonable!"

This person must not know that the newly appointed prefect is the prince Zhao Dong, otherwise he would not dare to say that, and those who know the truth will think that he is suspected of provoking the father-son relationship between the emperor and the prince.

Zhao Junsheng didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand and said, "At this time, disaster relief is a big deal. As long as the disaster victims in Hanoi County can live in new houses earlier and have enough food and clothing for the winter, I will not blame them! Send the order down, speed up and go to Huai County!"

Chapter 940 Dilemma

It is said that after Zhao Dong arrived in Hanoi County and took office, he began to preside over the disaster relief work. At the beginning, it did not go smoothly, because he was too young, and he was only a county magistrate before. The officials are very uncomfortable, and there is not much awe to work under such a young and inexperienced official.

Zhao Dong knows that although Hanoi County has just experienced a large number of officials being investigated and imprisoned, he does not have much qualifications and prestige as a cross-river dragon. It will take a long time to get these officials to listen to him by conventional means, but To make these officials obey orders in a short period of time, the only way to make them obey orders is by means of thunder.

So the person who was used to sacrifice the flag appeared. The former Hanoi princess Bo and the current county magistrate Liu Xianzhi, because of an inappropriate sentence, Zhao Dong took out an inappropriate sentence and magnified it infinitely, and it went online.In a state of emergency, the prefect has the authority to appoint and remove officials in the whole county, dismiss Liu Xianzhi and send him to prison for questioning.

That night, Liu Xianzhi died in prison because he could not bear the torture.

After the news spread, the officials in Hanoi were terrified, and the officials were afraid of Zhao Dong when they saw Zhao Dong. No one dared to follow his orders, and the efficiency of the officials was much higher.

On the surface, the Hanoi officials tried their best to do the orders and tasks given by Zhao Dong, but secretly someone wrote to the court to complain. At the same time, some people knew that Yujia was in Xingyang and would arrive in Hanoi soon, so some officials secretly joined forces. He was going to sue the imperial court together when Yujia arrived in Huai County, but he didn't believe that he could sue Zhao Dong.

When Zhao Junsheng's royal driver arrived in Huai County, Zhao Dong was not in Huai County, but organized officials, soldiers and civilians in Shanyang County to help the victims build houses and rush to cultivate.

The reception was received by the officials who stayed in the government office under the leadership of the new county lieutenant Wang Tian, ​​the master Bo Jia Airen, and the guerrilla general Shi Danian of the garrison army.

Riding at the front of the team was Bai Jinguang, a general of the Shenwu Army. Li Bao led a thousand dragon army guards, Zhao Junsheng, in the middle of the team. Wang Tian, ​​Jia Airen, Shi Danian and others came up and bowed quickly from the gate of the city: " Hanoi County Prefect Bo, Jia Airen, County Lieutenant Wang Tian, ​​and Guards Guerrilla General Shi Danian welcome His Majesty to inspect Hanoi County!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "All the Qing families will be put down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The officials got up.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Where is the prefect Zhao An?"

Jia Airen replied: "Return to Your Majesty, the prefect went to Shanyang County to check on the officials, the soldiers and the civilians to help the victims build houses and rush to farm!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "Since the prefect is away on business, where is the magistrate?"

The officials in Hanoi looked at each other, and none of them dared to say anything.

Zhao Junsheng was surprised and said: "What? You don't know where the prefect is?"

The new county lieutenant, Wang Tian, ​​stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Xianzhi, the county magistrate, was originally the governor. Because the former prefect and the county magistrate committed crimes, he was temporarily promoted to be the magistrate to preside over the affairs of the county. A few days after taking office, Prefect Zhao ordered Liu Xian to be sent to prison for questioning, and he died in prison that night! I thought that Prefect Zhao had already reported the matter to His Majesty and the court, but never thought that His Majesty had not received the report!"

These words concealed murderous intentions, and all the officials in Hanoi County put their hearts into their throats. They were worried that the emperor would pursue the truth of the matter, and they were also worried that the emperor would protect Zhao An.

Zhao Junsheng was taken aback when he heard it, and then his face became calmer. After Wang Tian finished speaking, he just said indifferently: "The order is that the Shenwu Army will stay in camp outside the city, and the Dragon Guards will escort you into the city! Li Bao, you go first." Go and choose a place for me to stay as a palace in one step!"

"I obey the order!" Li Bao clasped his fists in agreement, and ordered a group of dragon guards to advance into the city.

The officials of Hanoi County did not expect that Zhao Junsheng did not care about the case of Zhao Dong's murder of Liu Xian at all, and heard that Zhao Junsheng asked Li Baoxian to take people into the city to find a place to stay as a residence. Obviously they did not believe them, the officials of Hanoi County loyalty, which is not a good sign.

The officials of Hanoi County lowered their heads one by one and turned their heads to exchange eyes with each other. Everyone's face showed a worried look.

"My lord Bo Jia Airen, the county lieutenant Wang Tian, ​​and the guerrilla general Shi Danian of the town garrison!"

The three big bosses who were named immediately shuddered a few times, and immediately bowed and agreed: "The minister is here!"

"Lead the way to the Prefect's Mansion!"

"Your Majesty please obey the order!"

So a group of officials and horses followed Yujia around, and followed them into the city to the prefect's mansion.

After walking for about two minutes, Yu Jia arrived at the Taishou Mansion. Under the leadership and command of the general, the Dragon Guards of the first building quickly occupied various key positions in the Taishou Mansion, and arranged sentry posts and patrol posts to be in charge of the emperor's middle defense circle and outer defense circle. The original garrison was in charge, while the innermost defensive circle was in charge of the imperial guards.

Zhao Junsheng rode on his horse and looked at the plaque on the lintel of the prefect's mansion. There were bloodstains on the plaque and holes left by arrows.
