That night, Zhao Zhongzhen issued a handling plan.

First, Yang Zhuqing, the commander of the capital, was greedy for Mo's military expenses, and refused to repent, incited and planned veterans to resist reforms in violent ways, and his crimes should be punished. The Prince of Liang used the power of the Emperor's Sword to kill him, warned the three armies with the heads, and confiscated his gains from Mo's greed over the years.

2. Commander Zhou Wennian, Jiang Qing and Guan Songbai have been paid more than 3,000 yuan in empty salary over the years. He expressed his willingness to take the initiative to clear away ill-gotten wealth and ensure that he would never commit any rebellion. He did not participate in the planning of the confrontation reform. After consultation, the Jingdong Road Pacification Envoy Department and the Jingdong Road Military Control Office decided that the three of them were exempted from being held accountable, retained their position as commander, lowered their official evaluation, and reported to the Privy Council for filing.

3. Commander Yang Shun, Zhang Zhi and Xu Zheng did not participate in the planning of the confrontation reform. The accumulated military salary involved was less than 1,000 guan, and they guaranteed that they would never be violated again. After consultation and decision by the Jingdong Road Pacification Envoy Department and the Jingdong Road Military Control Office, the three were exempted from being held accountable.

Fourth, Yang Mi and twenty-three other members did not participate in the planning of the confrontation reform. The amount of military salary involved was small and the circumstances were minor, so they would not be held accountable.

5. Soldiers Chen Gang, Luo Shun and twelve others participated in incitement and organized soldiers to fight against reforms, which seriously violated military law and was unforgivable. However, because they were not the main culprit, they were exempted from death. They were punished with a hundred military sticks and were exiled to Lingnan to exile.

Sixth, 407 soldiers, including Ma Du, participated in the confrontation reform and should have been held accountable, but given that he was deceived and exploited and the riots did not cause serious consequences, he decided to exempt the military law from being investigated, but his resignation compensation was cancelled and forced to retreat to his hometown.

After the penalty decision was released, the Military Control Office copied the military newspaper overnight and sent it to various military camps on Jingdong Road, the Privy Council, the Ministry of War and other imperial departments.

Zhao Zhongzhen wrote another detailed report and sent guards to the capital to report the matter to the emperor.

Under Fanning's secret promotion, this incident was soon learned by the news spies from "Xinbao" and "Taboo".

Four days later, Xinbao and Taboo reported the matter on the front page at the same time. Public opinion in the capital unanimously praised Prince Liang Zhao Zhong for his decisive handling of military emergencies, full of courage, clear punishment methods, reasonable and well-founded, clear rewards and punishments, and a kingly demeanor, and can be regarded as a royal family.

In the imperial study room, the emperor Zhao Zhen said to the prime minister Han Qi with deep feelings: "This child is so pure. He told me in the report that he was frightened by the riots of the soldiers. He hid in the imperial guards' camp and waited for the moon to wait for Fan Ning to come to save the matter. He didn't even sleep all night, afraid that the reform would die. After dealing with this matter, he blamed himself for being timid and cowardly, and could not handle such a simple matter."

Han Qi smiled slightly and said, "After all, Prince Liang is a teenager, only twelve years old, and his mind is not yet mature. It is normal to be afraid of something happening. But I admire him even more for being modest, self-disciplined, honest and sincere, and follow advice. Although he could not bear to execute Yang Zhuqing, he knew that Yang Zhuqing's crime was unforgivable. If he did not kill him, there would be more twists and turns in the reform. Only by killing him to establish his authority can the reform be fully implemented. He handled his personal emotions and rationality well, and he really had the style of a king."

"Have Mr. Han read the newspaper too?" Zhao Zhen asked with a smile.

"I have seen it. This matter has become the hottest thing in the court and the people. Almost everyone in the court is talking about this matter, and Zhizhengtang is still discussing this matter today."

Zhao Zhen was a little interested and asked with a smile: "What did Jia Changchao say?"

"Jia Xianggong said that if the same thing is handled improperly and not considered properly, it will turn into unfair reforms and stir up mutiny, and various public opinion attacks, court questioning, making reforms a quagmire, and reformers dare not easily overcome them. However, if the handling is decisive and reasonable, and if the newspapers are asked to publicize it positively, it will turn into a major political achievement and make subsequent reforms smoother. Jia Xianggong said that he admired the commander behind this matter even more. The methods are sophisticated and unsparing."

Zhao Zhen laughed, "Why is this old Jia a little sour when he speaks?"

"Your Majesty, I have to say that Fan Ning handled this matter well and His Highness Liang cooperated well. Neither of them would be the result of today."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "You are right. In fact, I know the difficulty of the military reform, and I don't expect that child to be able to succeed in the reform. But I am more concerned about his reform process, his mentality, his character, his methods of doing things. To be honest, his simplicity, honesty, honesty and kindness deeply touched me. I am considering making him the crown prince and inheriting the throne after me. What does Mr. Han think?"

Han Qi had this feeling for a long time, and now he was able to confirm it from the emperor, which made him sigh deeply. How could this happen? It was originally to win glory for Zhao Zhongzhen for his father, but in the end it turned into a replacement for his father with his son. What did Zhao Zongshi think? This plan was proposed by Fan Ning, and I am afraid he would be deeply hated by Zhao Zongshi from now on.

Seeing that Han Qi was silent, Zhao Zhen understood his thoughts and slowly said, "I also know that it is unfair to his father with the emperor's grandson, but I have to be responsible for the country of the Song Dynasty and explain to my ancestors and cannot be influenced by family affection. It would be fine if Zhao Zongshi was just mediocre, but after so many years of observing him, he has a flaw in his personality, is prone to extreme behavior, and is stubborn and does not listen to others' advice.

Such a person becomes a magistrate, at most, the people and officials in a county will suffer, but if he is let to be the emperor, it will cause the whole world to suffer.

In fact, I am not optimistic about Zhao Wenyun. Although he is kind and humble, he is too cowardly and easily influenced by others. If he ascended the throne, he will inevitably have the autocracy of his relatives, which is also a misfortune of the Song Dynasty. I cannot explain it to my ancestors, but compared to Zhao Zongshi's stubbornness and extremeness, I still prefer Zhao Wenyun who is good at listening to others.

It was not until Zhao Zhongzhen appeared that I finally saw the future of the Song Dynasty and the shadow of a revival king. I thought about it for several months before I had the idea of ​​becoming a crown prince.”

Zhao Zhen's heartfelt words moved Han Qi, but he was not influenced by his feelings. He pondered for a moment: "The establishment of the crown prince is a major event of the country, and we must be very cautious. I have two suggestions. First, I hope Your Majesty can think about it for a few more months and make a decision after careful consideration. Second, Zhao Zhongzhen's reform has just begun. I hope Your Majesty can give him a beginning and an end, and do not easily announce the establishment of the crown prince."

Zhao Zhen also knew that he was a little emotional. After all, Zhao Zhongzhen had only been there for a few months, so he still needed time to observe and understand.

"Mr. Han is right, I'm a little too anxious."

Han Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the true humility and self-discipline. It is a blessing for you to have Your Majesty in charge of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Zhongzhen's killing of the chickens and intimidating the monkeys did achieve great results. In the next few days, many lower-level generals confessed to the reform team that they had made some small money and tried to pass the test as soon as possible.

Of course, there is also a little selfishness here. If the commander above cannot pass the test, he will have a chance when he promotes the successor.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the tricks. For the soldiers, killing the greedy Yang Zhuqing made countless soldiers applaud and wished they could kill a few more.

But the commanders understood the tricks in the announcement. The commander of XXX understood the military expenditure of thousands of chunks of yuan, and was exempted from being held accountable after the clearance, and was still the commander. There were too many hints here.

As the commander for five years, he had an empty salary, deducted military salary, and received filial piety. Who is not greedy for tens of thousands of guan? How could it be that there were only more than 3,000 guan? There were even less than 1,000 guan to coax the ghost!

Let’s talk about the arrest in the afternoon and the announcement will be issued in the evening. How do you verify that they are only greedy for such a little money? After all, they just need to give it to you. As long as you hand over a small amount of money, you will pass.

Of course, everyone is not stupid. Why do some people explain 3,000 stakes and hundreds of stakes? There must be some basis for this. For example, the officials of the households are very clear about the situation of empty-stake soldiers in each battalion.

But the above don’t know how much you took, and it’s difficult to verify.

The key in the announcement is to ensure that you are not greedy in the future, that is, as long as you are not greedy, you can do nothing.

Generals who have understood the profound meaning of the announcement have taken the lead. For example, those who have been greedy for three thousand guan are ready to say that they have only greedy for three or five hundred guans, and those who have been greedy for ten thousand guans are ready to say that they have only greedy for two thousand guans, and then hand over the 2,000 guans to be exempted from liability.
