Zhao Ji reused treacherous ministers and followed the deeds, causing the people to live in dire straits.
It has suffered repeated defeats externally, and internally it has brutally squeezed the people's fat and oil to support the increasingly deformed Bianliang City.
The Song Army before Zhao Ji still had combat effectiveness, but after he served as an official for decades, the Song Army completely lost its combat effectiveness.
It can be said that the root of Jingkang's shame stems from Zhao Ji's oppression of the people in Guizhou.
As for Zhao Huan, he only wanted to consolidate his power. When faced with the invasion of foreign invaders, he always ceded territory and sued for peace.
Not to mention expecting him to kill Sheji, he didn't even dare to fight.
Many people say that the disgrace of Jingkang was the misfortune of the royal family and ministers, while the people of Guizhou suffered little loss.
This is simply ridiculous.
Hebei and Hedong were massacred by the Jin people, and numerous towns and villages were massacred. All the facilities in various places had been completely destroyed.
Bianliang City had a population of almost two million in history, but after the Jin people retreated, only a few hundred thousand remained.
Don’t those people who died in vain count?
Zhao Huan did not dare to fight with the Jin people. He would fight anyone who dared to fight with the Jin people.
If he had changed his surname to Wanyan, no one would have thought he was an official from the Jin Kingdom.
In order to satisfy the demands of the Jin people, not only did they rob people of their property, but they also had people go from house to house with ropes to tie up young women.
These women were sent to the gold camp outside the city to provide for the enjoyment of the robbers, for fear that the robbers would be angry if they did not enjoy themselves well.
There were more than tens of thousands of these women who were tortured and died tragically by the Jin army.
Don’t these people’s lives count?
Yue Fei wanted to rescue these two bastards. If he really rescued them, how would he answer the tens of millions of dead souls?
Although many tragedies in this world have been avoided because of Li Yunze's appearance, this is not the reason for Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son to be exempted from guilt.
And it is naturally impossible for Li Yunze to give them any high-end retirement benefits and enjoyment.
Located in Tongxu Town, about a hundred miles south of Kaifeng Prefecture, a house was built outside the town.
No one knows who the owner of the house is, and no one is curious enough to peep in the winter.
The people around him only knew that apart from the large trucks carrying vegetables and grains coming in and out, no one even went out at other times.
The government officials came to the door once, but since then no one dared to go there again.
The people of Tongxu Town would not know that two former officials of the Song Dynasty were in this house, receiving the punishment they deserved.
The sky was just getting dark and the roosters in the yard began to crow. Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, who were under the same roof, opened their eyes.
Although their bodies were exhausted and their heads were aching, they still had to get up and put on their tattered clothes and coats.
The father and son looked at each other in the dim light, then looked away.
When they first arrived, they didn't want to get up in such cold weather, but if they didn't get up even after the rooster crows three times, the guards wouldn't come in and beat them, but they would cancel their meals for three whole days.
You might be able to tolerate not eating for a day, but if you don't eat for three days in a row, you'll end up with sour water.
When they first arrived, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, father and son, resisted and refused to get up, but the result was that they were starved for three days.
They were so hungry that they had to beg the guards for food, but no one paid any attention to them.
Three days later, facing the steamed buns and rice soup, the two former officials ate like delicious food from an immortal family.
From then on, they never dared to stay in bed again.
The guards don't care about the identities of the two people. They only have one identity here, Zhao Da and Zhao Er.
When they exited the room, guards wearing thick cotton coats were already waiting for them.
The eyes of these guards were sharp, like sharp knives. BIquGe.biz
With their heads lowered, the father and son skillfully took out the buckets from the woodshed, and then went to the well in the yard to cooperate in fetching water.
On this cold winter morning, the howling cold wind had already turned the delicate faces of the father and son into old farmers who had been beaten by the wind and rain all day long.
They hunched their heads and used their frostbitten hands to fetch buckets of water until several water tanks in the woodshed were filled.
After all this work, the sky was completely bright, and I could finally take a break.
At least they can enter the kitchen, burn wood and stoke the fire under the command of the chef, and provide meals for the whole hospital.
Zhao Huan, who was squatting on the ground and stuffing firewood into the stove, looked down at his dark hands and patched cuffs, and couldn't help but cry with sadness.
From being a dignified official to the current situation, Zhao Huan felt full of grievances.
After finally calming down, he looked up and saw the gloating face of Zhao Ji beside him.
At this look, Zhao Huan's heart suddenly became cold.
He remembered the rules here. If he cried and complained, he would be punished and not be able to eat!
Moreover, the meal he was punished for would fall into Zhao Da's bowl.
When he thought of this, Zhao Huan immediately became breathless.
Sure enough, during breakfast, Zhao Huan's stomach growled with hunger, but he could only hold an empty bowl and watch Zhao Da eat a full meal.
His heart was full of resentment, and he was thinking about how to find opportunities to deal with Zhao Da.
Zhao Huan's mentality has always been like this, and it was the same when he was an official. He would never look for reasons in himself, and would blame others when he had problems. This is why he was able to change his career in just over a year. The reason why a total of twenty-six husbands were lost.
After breakfast, it was time to tidy up Nuo Da’s yard, sweep, take out the trash, mop the floor, remove snow, etc.
Zhao Da and Zhao Er each have their own divisions, and whoever doesn't do well will have nothing to eat.
They no longer had the luxury of eating a hundred sheep in one meal. They only had two meals a day, and they were often deducted. As for mutton, you can only see it in the bowls of the guards. If you can fill the bowl with food, it is considered good.
It was busy in the afternoon, and I could finally go back to the room after dinner.
But things are not over yet.
They have to write confessions in their rooms, repenting for their life, which has brought disaster to the country and the people.
Moreover, there is a quota for the number of words every day. If the number of words is not enough, there will be no food for the next day.
Someone who specializes in literature will check it. Only if the word count reaches the standard, and you can't deliberately mess up the word count, will you be able to survive such a day.
They didn't just go to bed at night. They had to wash and mend their own clothes. At first, their hands were covered in blood blisters because they were unfamiliar with the work.
Usually you have to wait until all these things are done before you can go to bed and rest.
Then the next morning, the same hard days would continue all over again.
After dreaming back at midnight, the father and son hugged each other and cried countless times. Lao Jiu was already torn over and over in his heart, and he was torn to death countless times.
But whether it was pleading, complaining, resentment, or regret, all of it was useless.
They can only be imprisoned in this courtyard, day after day, atoning for the evil deeds they have done, until the day when the oil runs out.
In Bianliang City, Li Yunze, who has become a new official, is arranging an exaggerated number of princes.
Among the three major stubborn problems of the Song Dynasty, redundant officials and redundant soldiers were the most difficult to solve.
Because it is the scholar-bureaucrats who control the world. Even if they know that redundant officials are serious, they will not solve it because they cannot solve it themselves.
As for the officials, those without military power can't do it well, and those with military power but no such intention can't do it either.
There were too many officials in the Song Dynasty, and every family had sons and nephews who also wanted to be officials. This forced the scholar-bureaucrats to continuously expand their official positions, resulting in unclear authority and responsibilities, and causing a lot of confusion.
Zhao Ji re-employed treacherous ministers to facilitate him to seize power and increase the control of imperial power, because treacherous ministers were obedient to him.
And the loyal ministers either look down on the official, or they pull the official's sleeves and ask him to issue orders. If he doesn't give orders, I will resign and leave.
Zhao Huan was even more exaggerated. In one year, he actually brought out twenty-six ministers, and he was considered the first among the kings of subjugation.
In history, these three stubborn diseases of the Song Dynasty were all solved with the help of the Jin army's blade.
Now that Li Yunze has driven away Jin Jun, he must solve the problem himself.
His solution was a little rough.
"Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Cai You, Wang Fu, Li Bangyan, Cai Sui..."
The ministers who were extremely prosperous during Zhao Ji's reign, whether they were in Bianliang City or at the local level, whether they were chamberlains in the palace or important ministers in foreign dynasties, were all included in the first batch of hit lists.
People lined up directly to be sent to the execution ground, even an eighty-year-old like Cai Jing couldn't escape.
Someone once interceded for Cai Jing, and the reason he used was that he should respect the elderly when he is older.
Li Yunze's response was, "Age is not a reason to avoid guilt. No matter you are too old or too young, you must pay for what you have done, otherwise it will be difficult to live with it!"
Naturally, the house was ransacked after that, and all the property except the salary was confiscated.
At the same time, seizing the writings written by relatives in their family since they were born is tantamount to completely cutting off the possibility of them entering officialdom and resurrecting.
At this time, it was natural for someone to come forward to intercede.
Li Yunze's response was, "The prime minister's son is the prime minister, this is absolutely not allowed in my place."
While enjoying it, these pro-rollers also enjoyed it.
So now when we are unlucky, we naturally cannot forget them.
The confiscation of homes is really shocking. For example, Cai Jing's house was not only confiscated with a large amount of supplies, but also his luxurious life was exposed, which is even more shocking.
Cai Jing can eat more than 100 dishes for a meal. The kitchen is bigger than other people's yards. Just eating alone requires hundreds of people to cook together.
Dozens of sheep were consumed in one meal, and compared to the officials in the palace, they were not willing to make more concessions.
When the news spread, the people in Bianliang City who lacked food and clothing were furious.
On the day of Cai Jing's execution, countless people rushed forward and turned him into endless pieces.
There was little resistance in dealing with the ministers of the Huizong Dynasty, and few people shouted that "the scholar-bureaucrats cannot be punished".
After all, they have become drowned dogs, and everyone wants to kick them.
Next, Li Yunze attacked the Lord He faction and encountered a lot of resistance.
Not only did he use favors from the palace, but he also mobilized the imperial students to stir up public opinion, asked the clan members to come forward to intercede, and so on.
But what greeted them was Li Yunze's ruthless iron fist!
