Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Humph, you are not good at doing business, but you are quite good at harming others.
If you can harm Li Zhongchen, not only will I not hold you accountable for your crimes, but I will also grant you an official title.
Promote and reuse you” Zhao Ziliang originally said this out of anger and unintentionally, but Liu Daoqian actually heard it and believed it in his heart, and quickly asked: "Does your Majesty take this seriously?"
Zhao Ziliang was stunned, thinking that I was just talking casually, and you took it seriously.
But when he thought about it, he said everything he said, and he couldn't go back on his words.
Moreover, this guy was so excited, could he really have a way to trick Li Zhongchen?
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Of course, the emperor has his own words, so naturally I can also use my words.
Do you really have a way to harm Li Zhongchen?"
Liu Daoqian was overjoyed and immediately said: "The villain really has a way.
As long as he implements it, he will be protected from death without a burial place."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Liu Daoqian: "Let's do this.
After the dynasty is over, you and I go to the Regent's Palace and tell me in detail."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Liu Daoqian stepped aside happily.
The ministers looked at Liu Daoqian's appearance and cursed in their hearts that this guy had such bad luck that he could be favored by Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang shouted to the outside: "Come here, take Wang Hong with you."
"Bring Wang Hong" Wang Hong was brought in quickly.
He saw Liu Daoqian at a glance.
His legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Two soldiers next to him supported him.
Zhao Ziliang shouted: "Wang Hong, now that your master Liu Daoqian has fully explained what you have done, what else do you have to say?"
Wang Hong was frightened, looked at the prince Li Shi, and immediately cried to Li Shi: "Your Highness, save me, save me."
At this time, how could Prince Li Shi dare to speak for Wang Hong?
This was a serious crime against the nine clans, and anyone involved would die.
Even if he was Prince Li Shi, he would probably end up being deprived of his status as a prince.
He immediately pointed out Then Wang Hong shouted: "Wang Hong, you are so bold that you actually did it for You are so brave to frame a court official and instigate a rebellion with your own personal grudges.
You are really worthy of your death.
I really regret that I recommended you to be the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture.
I was really blind.
You must have done it for you.
If you bear the responsibility for your own affairs, no one in this world can save you."
"Your Highness," Wang Hong shouted.
Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and shouted: "Come here, take Wang Hong, Wei Zhen, Xue Cui and others to the Tianlao.
They will be interrogated by Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment.
The results will be reported to the king."
Several warriors came in from outside the palace and dragged Wang Hong out.
No matter how Wang Hong shouted, no one interceded.
Zhao Ziliang asked the ministers: "Do you still have anything to report?
Let's tell them together.
We will solve them all this afternoon."
Li Qijun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have a report from Li Qijun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
It is already November, and it is the dry season of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
The Ministry of Industry has received reports from the government offices along the coast.
There are many reports.
The river embankments have not been strengthened for many years.
If there is a danger of the embankments bursting during floods, the imperial court in the past two years has planned to organize people to protect these dangerous river sections.

However, the imperial court has always been busy and has no time to take care of it.
In addition, the treasury is not too full.
Therefore, the Ministry of Industry has repeatedly submitted reports to strengthen the river embankments but has not been approved.
If the river embankments in these dangerous river sections are not reinforced, who will.
It is also impossible to predict whether the levees will burst next year.
Once the levees burst, it will be a large-scale disaster and cause the displacement of tens of millions of people."
After hearing what Li Qijun said, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Master Li, how much money will it cost to repair and strengthen the embankments in these dangerous river sections?"
Li Qijun replied: "According to the preliminary budget estimates of officials from the Ministry of Industry, the entire project will be completed in about four months and will require about three million strings."
The ministers gasped after hearing this.
A minister with three million dollars stood up and said loudly: "Master Li, are you kidding?
The treasury is empty now.
How can we have so much money to build river embankments for you and the court still needs to suppress the rebellion?"
, we also need to pay military salaries to the army and pay salaries to the officials.
You can’t find so much money even if you turn the treasury upside down.”
"Yes, yes, now is the time to build river embankments.
We should wait until the world is at peace and the rebellion is suppressed before proceeding."
The ministers discussed one after another.
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand to stop the ministers from talking and asked: "Master Li, does the Ministry of Industry have a specific construction plan and step plan and a detailed budget for the use of money?"
Li Qijun was overjoyed when he heard this.
He immediately took out a memorial from his sleeve, presented it with both hands and said: "This is the article written by the minister after summarizing the ideas of his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry.
Please take a look at it, your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang took the memorial from the eunuch and read it.
He raised his head after a long time.
After thinking for a moment, he said to the ministers: "The water conservancy and embankment project is related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
If the Yellow River and the Yangtze River burst their embankments, it would cause even more damage to the Tang Dynasty than the rebellion."
Seriously, the court must pay attention to anything.
It can be delayed.
The construction and reinforcement of river embankments must not be delayed, because it is not only a matter of life and death.
The problem is related to the lives and deaths of thousands of people.
After the flood disaster, a large number of people will be homeless, and these homeless people will bring a huge burden to the local governments where they pass.
And pressure, if the local government fails to provide disaster relief or handles it improperly, rebellion is very likely to occur.
Adults, we can sit here and eat well and drink spicy food every day, but what about the common people?
They are also human beings, and they also have the right to survive.
Although natural and man-made disasters cannot be controlled by human power, if the court can prevent them in advance, do flood control matters in advance, and strengthen and repair river embankments, it can avoid such disasters as embankment bursts.
Someone just said that there is no money in the national treasury now.
We need to send troops to quell rebellions in various places, and also pay military salaries and salaries to the army officers and officials.
Where will the money come from to repair the buildings?
What do you want me to say about river embankments?
This is short-sighted and only sees the immediate difficulties but does not see the long-term crisis.
If we only focus on the immediate difficulties, we will be constrained everywhere.
The national treasury has no money, but the three million dollars needed to repair and strengthen the river embankments.
You can still get it.
Just a few days ago, the officials investigating the case confiscated more than 10 million yuan from the homes of those moths in the Ministry of Revenue.
Look, a few small officials in the Ministry of Revenue have embezzled so much.
It is shocking."

"No matter how difficult it is for the court, no matter how empty the treasury is, no matter how empty the king is, we still have to spend the three million dollars needed to repair and strengthen the river embankments.
We must not let the catastrophe caused by the Yellow River bursting its embankments many years ago The history of floods in the area is repeated.
Where is Li Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs?"
Li Yi is the elder brother of Li Xian, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Both brothers are the sons of Li Xian, King of Xin'an.
They also have an eldest brother Li Xian, but Li Xian has passed away.
When Li Yi heard Zhao Ziliang calling his name, he immediately stood up and agreed, "Wei Chen is here."
Zhao Ziliang said: "From now on, you will take charge of all the affairs of the household department and prepare 3.5 million yuan as a special fund to repair and strengthen the river embankments in dangerous areas.
They must not be used for other purposes."
Starting from the late Xuanzong period, there were often vacancies among the six ministers.
If there was no one in the position of minister, each ministry would be managed by the left and right ministers.
Even the chiefs of the three provinces were often vacant.
Even if there were people, they would only have honorary titles and not be involved in affairs.
Specifically, The stewards are the Minister of Zhongshu, the Minister of Huangmen and others.
Li Xian cupped his hands and responded: "I obey my orders."
Zhao Ziliang said to Li Qijun again: "Master Li, in addition to the three million guan used to repair and strengthen the river embankments, I will give you another 500,000 guan to repair and dredge the water conservancy ditches along the Yangtze River and Yellow River. , to facilitate spring plowing and irrigation after next spring and summer Seasonal flood discharge.
Your Ministry of Industry must also write to the local governments along the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers to ask them to pay attention.
If after the special funds are allocated, local officials still cause river embankment breaches due to negligence, then they will be guillotined.
The king started killing people , we will never be lenient, especially those officials whose dereliction of duty, inaction, corruption and bending of the law have caused serious consequences.
Your Ministry of Industry must send commissioners to various places along the coast to guide local government organizations in repairing people's livelihoods and strengthening river embankments.
Every section of the river Embankment repair and reinforcement completed After that, you have to carry out inspections.
Those that fail must be reworked by the local government, and the use of funds must be monitored.
If anyone dares to make an idea for this special fund, no matter who he is, I will never let him go.
He and the people of the world will not let him go."
These words made all the court ministers feel awe-inspiring, and they all knew how much Zhao Ziliang hated corrupt officials.
Li Qijun cupped his hands and responded loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured.
We are personally watching this matter.
If we have any questions, we will report to your Majesty at any time."
"Yes."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said to Wu Sun, the censor Zhongcheng: "Wu Sun, the censor station will also send out supervisory censors to keep an eye on the use of this money.
Once something fishy is discovered, as long as there is certain evidence in hand, I authorize you, the Yushitai, to immediately initiate an investigation, suspend him from office, and limit his Personal freedom prevents him from using official resources to hinder your handling of the case.
But there is one thing I want to make clear to your Yushitai.
It is absolutely forbidden to fabricate and fabricate evidence at will to frame you.
It is not that there is no one to supervise and keep an eye on your Yushitai.
If something like this happens, you are violating the law and will be punished with an additional penalty."
Zhao Ziliang's words gave Yushitai great power, which had never been available before.
In the past, Yushitai could only collect information and evidence secretly, and could not conduct an honest investigation at all.
But now Zhao Ziliang has With the support, not only can the investigation be conducted openly, but after certain evidence is obtained, the target can also be directly suspended from his or her duties and restricted their personal freedom.
This power is too great.
However, when Zhao Ziliang delegated power to Yushitai, he also added a tightening curse to them.
Although Wu Sun was happy, he also secretly warned himself not to get carried away.
If someone caught Yushitai abusing his power, he would The censor Zhongcheng, who was in charge of the censor's big and small mistakes, was going to be miserable and walked away
