Chapter 431 Thunder and Fury
“Which of you dares to promise me that there are no wizards under your rule?”
You could hear a needle drop in the hall, and there was silence.
The officials in the capital were okay, but the local magistrates were complaining in their hearts.
It is naturally impossible for the world to be peaceful for He Qing and Hai Yan.
But this is a New Year's meeting, so naturally you have to say something nice, otherwise wouldn't it cause trouble for the emperor?
This has been the rule for many years. Even when Taizu was alive, he never had an attack at a court meeting.
Who would have known that now we would encounter an emperor like Zhao Xing who did not follow common sense.
"I know the local situation very well, and I even know the situation under your rule better than many of you."
Zhao Xingdao: "Where is Dangzhou Zhizhou!"
"I'm here!"
When the governor of Runzhou heard this, he panicked and quickly went out to salute.
“I heard that Mr. Hai inspected the acres in Runzhou and found a lot of annexed land and returned it to the people. But after Mr. Hai left, there were landlords and gentry in Runzhou who forced the people to return the acres. The people went to the government to complain, but the government ignored it, right?" Zhao Xing said calmly.
Runzhou Zhizhou was sweating from behind, his face turned pale and he said: "Your Majesty, I am not directly responsible for local affairs!"
"Bang!"
Zhao Xing patted the imperial case and said with a livid face: "It is true that Zhizhou is not directly responsible for local government affairs, but he has the power to supervise. Why didn't you report something like this to Runzhou?"
The full name of Zhizhou is Quan knows the military of a certain state. The state refers to the people and the army refers to the local army.
As the name suggests, it is the military and administration of a state, and the governor of the state has the right to know.
Contrary to what many people think, the magistrate is responsible for managing a state. There is a big error.
The governor of a state is more of a supervisor, while the chief officer of a state is a general judge.
However, the magistrate has the power to supervise the military and administration of a state. The meaning of his existence is to report something wrong to him, the emperor.
But the governor of Runzhou said that he did not directly manage the government affairs of Runzhou, which is simply ridiculous.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
Runzhou Zhizhou also knew that his defense was very pale, and seeing Zhao Xing angry, he did not dare to continue to refute.
“Of course you are guilty, but whether it is dereliction of duty or collusion with others, it needs to be investigated carefully!”
Zhao Xing sneered and said: "Come here, take off the black gauze hat and hand it over to the Imperial City Division for careful investigation!"
"Your Majesty, although the magistrate of Runzhou is guilty, the Dali Temple should be responsible for the review. That’s right, how can it be handed over to the Imperial City Department for review?”
After Zhao Xing finished speaking, some officials jumped out to object.
The previous arrest of the Wizard Cult involved many officials. Zhao Xing put the Imperial City Department in charge, which made many officials dissatisfied.
But Zhao Xing said that this matter was related to the Wizarding Cult, and he was not sure if there were any officials in the court who were involved in the Wizarding Cult. Just in case, the Imperial City Secretary was asked to take charge.
This matter was already a hot potato, and the Minister of Dali Temple also agreed that the Imperial City Division should be responsible.
Otherwise, if someone dies in the prison, Dali Temple will not be able to escape the blame.
It is precisely because of this that Baiguan acquiesced at this time.
But now Zhao Xing has handed over the criminals to the Imperial City Division for review. If he does not stop it, wouldn't all future crimes committed by officials be reviewed by the Imperial City Division?
The Imperial City Secretary is a member of Zhao Xing. They can't even get any information, let alone interfere. Once inside, it is not up to Zhao Xing to decide the crime.
Who can guarantee that he will not have that day?
For a time, most civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty stood up to oppose it.
“The reason why the Wizard Cult has never been discovered is because there are many local powerful landowners who are followers of the Wizard Cult and secretly support the Wizard Cult. The powerful landlords in Runzhou forced the people as soon as Xianggong Hai left. Returning the land is probably to the Wizard Cult because the governor of Runzhou knew about it but refused to report it, so he might have had contact with the Wizard Cult, so I handed it over to the Imperial City Department for review!" Zhao Xing said lightly!
"Your Majesty, this is just speculation. There is no evidence to prove that the governor of Runzhou is related to the Wizard Cult. It is very inappropriate to hand it over directly to the Imperial City Secretary."
"Forget it, let the Dali Temple and the Imperial City Division jointly review the case, and the Admonition Yuan will send someone to supervise it," Zhao Xing said.
Seeing Zhao Xing take half a step back, the ministers calmed down.
If the temperament of these officials had been in the past, Zhao Xing would have agreed to hand over the person to Dali Temple for review, and would not have agreed to any joint trial at all.
But after Zhao Xing came to the throne, he was used to being strong. Now he has taken a half-step back. In the eyes of officials, it is already a victory, so naturally they will not hold on to it.
Again, these officials are spoiled.
Although Zhao Xing took a half step back, it did not mean that the matter was over.

Next, Zhao Xing named a few more magistrates, all of whom were the same as the previous magistrates of Runzhou. After an inventory of the land in their respective places, the landlords forced the people to return the land. The local government not only failed to take care of it, but also Not reported.
Zhao Xing ordered several people in succession, and everyone in the hall was in danger.
Han Zhang was anxious, the meeting was not the time to settle accounts.
Next, he had to meet foreign envoys. Zhao Xing went to war at this time, which not only made people panic, but also made outsiders laugh.
Just when Han Zhang was about to stop him, Zhao Xing did not continue to name him.
"It is said that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, but in the eyes of many people, I am afraid that the emperor can only manage the area around Bianjing. If it is a little further away, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and you will become a local emperor."< br>
“But even though I am staying in Bianjing, I am not blind. The world is very I want to know everything I want to know. Those people just now are more serious, and some of you also have problems. I will not pursue it today. I hope you can take care of yourself.
Many people like to take the emperor. Whether it is easy to kill or not depends on whether the emperor is wise or faint
But have you ever thought about it, I am the emperor, if everyone obeys the law and fulfills their duties, why would I kill people?
You all read the books of sages, so don’t always ask me for rules and virtues, but you don’t work hard yourself!
If an official fails to make decisions for the people, I will let others’ heads fall to the ground. If the crime is minor, I will let him farm in a remote and cold place!
The people depended on that little land to support their families, so it would be fine if they sold the land themselves.
But if you don’t care that it was clearly taken away by powerful landlords, isn’t this forcing the people to rebel?
When the people rebelled, they were all criticizing me, but how could I be so innocent?
That’s all I’ve said, you guys have a good time thinking about it. When you are behind bars, don’t say that I didn’t predict what I said! "
Zhao Xing's voice echoed in the hall, and all the officials lowered their heads.
A few days ago, Yin Hanzhang reported that similar things happened in many states and counties.
After Zhao Xing learned about it, he was so angry that he wanted to kill him
As soon as the inventory was completed, the powerful landowners forced the people to return their land. How arrogant?
For the common people, land is their life, so naturally they are not willing to give it to them.
It is conceivable that many people were forced to have their families destroyed.
This is tantamount to Zhao Xing harming them. After all, the original land was occupied, at least they can still be alive.
But Zhao Xing asked people to check the acres and return the occupied fields to the people, but it brought disaster to them.
Hence the thunderous wrath at the Great Court Meeting.
