    One more day, everyone!

    "That said, how can we get rid of this corruption?" Zhao Zhen was a little distressed.  Corruption is one of the main reasons for the collapse of the country in the past dynasties and is one of the themes that cannot be avoided.

    "Haha, that's why I want to bring Zhong Shu and Lin Yubing in." Liang Feng said with a faint smile.

    Zhao Zhen's heart suddenly moved: "Yes, haven't you mentioned the power of this newspaper before? Please tell me how to use it?"

    "This is a double-edged sword, and a wise king and a tyrant use it in completely different ways."

    "I am a benevolent king!" Zhao Zhen said with some jealousy.

    "I didn't say you were a tyrant. It was just a comparison. Don't get excited. Newspapers should be a weapon in the hands of the people, but they can play a huge role in protecting the court and ensuring the eternal survival of the country."

    "I don't understand this. Since it is in the hands of the people, how can we protect the imperial court?"

    "Look at it this way, the court belongs to your family, right, and the civil and military forces of the dynasty are yours, right? But you also have difficulties, that is, the scholar-officials and the monarchs rule the world together. Sometimes they may not implement your will, right?  Of course, there is a possibility that your idea is wrong, and there is another possibility that the ministers are against you for some reasons, even interests that are vital to them!"

    Zhao Zhen slapped his thigh: "That's the truth. It's really annoying sometimes. They don't listen when I say it. They don't do it after hearing it. They don't do it well when they do it. They make excuses when they don't do it well. They make excuses when they don't do it well.  It¡¯s all because of me! Sometimes I, the emperor, feel so frustrated!¡±

    Liang Feng laughed twice: "You are frustrated when you are an official. There is only one reason. You value the power in your hands too much. You are afraid that if you let go, the Zhao family will be taken away by someone. So your family designed such a plan.  The complex government agencies are constantly decentralizing and reducing power. In fact, they want to firmly grasp the important rights. However, they are divided and reduced. But they forget the most important thing, this right is yours.  As long as it is held in its hands for one day, it is impossible for the Song Dynasty to break out of the circle of corruption. To put it more seriously, I am afraid that this cycle of chaos will continue!"

    "What right?" Zhao Zhen asked anxiously.

    "Supervision power!" Liang Feng replied decisively: "Supervision power should not be in your hands, nor should it be in the hands of the officials of the court. It should only be placed in the hands of the people. You know, the people's requirements are the lowest, less exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes  , there are fewer corrupt officials, so that they can live and live in peace of mind, and the rest can be ignored. But what do corrupt officials want? They want the right to rule the people. They want a land of fish and meat, they want to plunder and deceive, and they want to deceive the superiors and the inferiors.  When they work together to coax and deceive you, and bully and exploit the people below, your country will be in danger! Therefore, if you want to control this large number of corrupt officials, you must put the power of supervision in the hands of  It is in the hands of the people. They dare not and cannot be corrupt. You let them supervise themselves. For example, it is like knowing that a mouse wants to eat rice, but you want to lock it in a granary."

    Liang Feng took a breath and continued: "The military reward case is the best example. If "Northwest" hadn't exposed it, would you have known it? Did you see it? From top to bottom. No matter whether it is clear or unclear, no matter whether the gentleman is small or not.  Man, in this kind of unspoken rule of officialdom, no one can live alone. It¡¯s shocking, boss. These are still the peaceful years. If there are a few natural disasters, civil unrest and military chaos, can you hold on to the mess? But look,  , as long as there is evidence, as long as there is reasonable suspicion, once it is published in the newspaper, it will be known to the whole world, and you can't hide it even if you want to. Those normally sanctimonious beasts in clothes have had their ugly masks stripped off one by one, and they can no longer hang out in the court.  Tang, we can¡¯t fool the people and you. Tell me, is this a good thing?¡±

    Zhao Zhen listened to his words and pondered.  The dangerous picture Liang Feng painted is indeed too real. As long as you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that although the anti-corruption system of the Song Dynasty is already well-established, it cannot withstand Liang Feng's dismissal with just one word.  Clean.

    "It's just that what if someone uses newspapers to confuse people's hearts and cause trouble?" Zhao Zhen is the ruler after all, and the first thing that comes to mind is this major issue.

    Liang Feng couldn't help but stretched out his thumb and praised loudly: "It's really great, you have a long-term vision!" This is their fundamental difference. If you don't clarify this matter with Zhao Zhen, no matter how reasonable you are, it will be in vain.  Who would give up such an important right?

    "This is a problem with the system. To tell you the truth, I have always believed that there are only bad systems and never bad people. With supervision, hypocrites can only remain hypocrites for life and cannot be bad people. Without supervision  , even really good people can't live alone, such as Wang Zeng and Xue Kui! This means that in fact, what we want is a good system. But what exactly is this good system?It is legislation that makes the supervisory power independent, and then the Yushitai is responsible for verification, investigation and handling. At that time, your family can handle big things, and no one can do it.  "

    "How to say?"

    "You can first enact edicts and legislation to delineate the scope of supervision by newspapers. For example, let go of corruption scandals first. Give newspapers the power to speak to officials and admonish the public. Of course, they must also be strictly controlled.  Those who fabricate facts, slander and attack the government and good people must be clarified one by one. Once they are found to have committed fraud, they must be severely punished with the most severe penalties. At the same time, as long as it is published in newspapers and involves official scandals, no matter how big or small, as long as there is misconduct in officialdom  All the corruption cases will be investigated and dealt with by the Yushitai. All you need is evidence and results. Think about it, you used to let some people you didn¡¯t even dare to fully trust to investigate corruption, but now it¡¯s the people of the world who have become your eyes and ears.  I keep those dog officers under a tight gaze for you, which one is more effective?"

    Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Haha, it sounds really good!"

    "What does it sound like? It's absolutely necessary, absolutely necessary!"

    "But that's not realistic, right? A newspaper consumes a lot of paper. Now there are only two newspapers in the world, "Northwest" and "Jinghua News". "Northwest" is faster, and "Jinghua" is simply slower than a turtle. This speed  How can it be done?¡±

    "Haha, I can donate the movable type typesetting technology, so that all the Song Dynasty and even the state capitals can run their own newspapers." Liang Feng said with a smile.

    Zhao Zhen looked at Liang Feng very depressedly: "Well, Liang Yutian, you have been waiting for this day, right?"

    "Isn't this for your own good? If it's too early, you can't make the decision, and if it's too late, I'm afraid you'll think more. This is just the right time! As long as you stand firm and can stand firm and support him for two or three years, the newspaper will gradually become  At that time, even if there are people with ulterior motives who try to suppress and cover up the climate, it will be impossible. Great peace in the world is just around the corner!"

    "Okay, then I'll give his grandma's vote! You draw up a charter, and I'll make it known to the world. Well, the first step is that everyone can participate!"

    As soon as they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

    Liang Feng returned to the Yamen and summoned all the brothers involved in handling the case.  These people used to be good friends and good brothers, but they have not been together for many years in different parts of the world.  This time, for one of Liang Feng's revolutionary goals, everyone came together and stayed away from the vicissitudes of life. At this time, we shared our heartfelt feelings and were extremely happy.

    After everyone had a good time, Liang Feng announced the big plan agreed with Zhao Zhen in person.  Among them, the four most excited people were Fan Zhongyan, Bao Zheng, Han Qi and Fu Bi.  These four people were originally outstanding talents, and their feelings about the country and the nation were extremely sensitive.  Upon hearing Liang Feng's plan, he immediately realized that it was an unprecedented and great idea, and they all agreed.

    After this case, Wang Zeng, Xue Kui, including Ding Wei, Lu Yijian and others deeply realized the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty.  Especially Wang Zeng and Xue Kui, who were completely selfless, were tainted for no reason, and it was understandable that they were depressed.

    Liang Feng took the opportunity to go to the door to lobby, and spent several days dealing with the ministers. Finally, he got the help of a group of loyal and upright ministers headed by Wang Zeng and Xue Kui. After several months, he created a "Public Opinion Ceremony" that had never appeared before the Song Dynasty.  "Finally released in the seventh year of Tiansheng.

    The "Dadian" clarified the legal interpretation and legal status of newspapers involving public opinion; stipulated the various contents that newspapers can publish, and of course, also delineated various restricted areas; it explained that the distribution and publication of newspapers is not subject to any level of local government and  The various departments of the imperial court manage and only accept impeachment if there are reasons.  For example, if a newspaper publishes something that spreads rumors, creates trouble or unreasonably slanders, anyone can initiate an impeachment, which will be handled by the Yushitai. Both parties will present evidence and go to court.  The losing party will face severe punishment, this will not be tolerated!

    As soon as "The Great Ceremony" came out, the world was shaken!

    At night, Liang Feng and his wife Feng Chengcheng had a great time. After the two of them were sweating profusely, Liang Feng passionately caressed Mrs. Feng's well-preserved jade body, and the couple talked about it at night.  Feng Chengcheng suddenly remembered the time when he was still in his boudoir and was scolded by his grandfather when he copied "Thunder Twelve" neatly for his boyfriend.  I had mixed feelings for a while, and I couldn't help crying when I thought of my grandfather.  But he was also excited that Lang Jun had lofty ambitions and finally succeeded in something big.

    At this time, because of his great achievements in the northwest, Han Qi was promoted to Zongzheng Shaoqing and Yongxing Army Training Envoy, from the fifth rank; Yang Wenguang was promoted to Zuowu Doctor, Xiaoqiwei, and Yongxing Army Left Forbidden Army Commander, from the sixth rank; Di Qing, the most handsome man in the Song Dynasty, was promoted to the sixth rank.  The deputy capital commander of the Japanese army, Fei Qiwei, and the commander of the Yongxing Army's right-hand imperial army were awarded the sixth rank. Others such as Chen Pingyuan, Li Shibin, Yu Jin, Wang Ying, etc. were all awarded.  As the commander-in-chief, Wang Deyong made great achievements. He specially ordered Jinwu Guards General, Privy Council Member, and Yongxing Army Jiedu Envoy to pay homage to the Marquis of Xining.

    In addition to congratulating and participating in the celebration, Liang Feng also came up with an idea.  He said to Han Qi: "Brother, you have accomplished such a great feat. You were so high-spirited back then.", have you proven your ability now?  Do you want to go back to the northwest?  "

    "Haha, your words are so embarrassing. The greater your achievements, the more you find that you are out of reach! It seems that you have seen through thousands of generations and discovered things that no one in the past dared to think of, but it always comes naturally. I really admire you.  !¡±

    "Hehe, hehe, well, you can stay, you guys!"

    "Stay? What for?"

    "Help me teach!"

    "Teach? What to teach?"

    ¡°My Imperial College, it¡¯s time to start a martial arts school!¡± (To be continued.)
