Chapter 287: Shocking
However, it can also be customized, if the father and son are officials in the same dynasty, and the father is not in charge, the son is not allowed to serve as the commander of the eight armies of the Imperial Forest, the commander of the four major battalions, and the border army are in charge of these positions. Without going through these positions, if you want to become the commander of the Sima Bujun in front of the palace, or the top official position of the military attache such as the deputy envoy of the privy council and the ambassador of the defense of the border army, you don't even think about it.
Even the highest positions of the guards, such as the Jiedu envoy and the deputy envoy of the Jiedu, are simply impossible. What's more, his father is not just his son, but also a Jinshi and the fourth prefect. But because his father didn't have a minister, he could only be a younger brother in charge of the four products in the Ministry of Rites.
What's more, at present, the emperor is more willing to use generals from civilian backgrounds, and the four major battalions are all commanded by the children of no family. Even if he is a deputy envoy, he is the only one who is a child of the family. This Deputy Envoy Guo knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to develop in the future, he would probably have a hard time going if he didn't speak in the court.
Therefore, he did not want to stop at the position of deputy envoy of the commander, and he was far more concerned about the struggle between the princes than his immediate superiors. Even if they don't participate, they keep a close eye on it. However, he also knew that the emperor was wrong with employing people, so he still put his hopes on the next emperor. After all, he is just over forty years old, and he can afford to wait for him in the prime of life.
With such thoughts, although he has always been a cold observer of the battle between the princes, he knows it well. Originally, in his impression, these princes have always done everything in order to compete for power and profit. Regarding the methods of these princes, this deputy envoy Guo from a family does not see it clearly. Because there was more than one prince who tried to win him over.
But for this deputy envoy Guo, who thought he had seen everything, what the British king in front of him, who had just been out of the palace for less than a year, had done since he entered the Xiaoqi camp, to be exact, he couldn't see through it at all. If you change to another prince, this is not easy to catch the military power, and you can't desperately install your own people?
But after the British king entered the cavalry camp, he did not interfere in any military affairs. It was to send troops to quell the rebellion, and it was the original team of the Xiaocai Battalion that was used, and he didn't even put anyone in it. If the king of England did this, it was because he knew what the emperor's bottom line was, and he didn't want to touch that mold. But why did such a great opportunity to win the hearts of the people be given up in vain?
Now the situation in Zhengzhou, there is no need to say what to do. As long as he, the envoy of Zhengzhou, comes forward to appease those people, at least the popularity of Zhengzhou will skyrocket. If this is changed to other people, it will pretend to love the people and care about the people's welfare. But this British king, who has repeatedly fought against the crown prince for the sake of the exiles, refuses to even show a face.
Although I am also very concerned about the people outside the prefect's yamen, those who complained. But he refused to do even the most basic comfort, which made Deputy Envoy Guo a little confused. It's just that where does he know now, it's not that Huang Qiong doesn't want to care, but there is really no way to take care of it at the moment. The paper is easy to connect, but it needs to be implemented.
At present, in the entire Zhengzhou Prefecture and the surrounding three prefectures and 21 counties, civilian officials are either being coerced into the rebels or openly participating in the rebellion. The officials who now control the twenty-one counties of the three prefectures of this prefecture are all military attaches sent by the Xiaocai battalion. The Xiao Cavalry Battalion is a large army controlled by the imperial court, and there is no problem in fighting on the battlefield. But in this governing place, there are no seven tricks at all, and the rest are not at all.
Let those military attaches do these things, and it is estimated that good things can become bad things. After all, among them, there is only one Lord Yu who has been a county magistrate and has changed from a civilian official to a military position. And it will take time for the additional officials of the imperial court, and before the arrival of these newly supplemented civil officials, even if they want to receive these papers, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
The most important thing is that Huang Qiong is now very taboo about the attitude of those clans. Although there are only two princes in Henan, King Jing and King Duan, there are a lot of clans in Hebei Road, Shandong Road, and Shanxi Road around Zhengzhou. In particular, Hebei Road and Shandong Road are the areas with the highest concentration of Daqi feudal clans.
Just as the commander of the capital said, to solve this matter on the surface, it is only necessary to return the land occupied by King Jing's Mansion. But in fact, the root is still in the clan plundering the land of the people by unscrupulous means. It is really a matter of moving the whole body, if one is not solved well, he will become the mortal enemy of the entire clan of the Great Qi Dynasty.
In addition to these points, there is another point that is the attitude of the emperor. How to deal with the property of King Jing's Mansion, the emperor has not given an attitude until now, which makes Huang Qiong undoubtedly feel very tricky now. My thoughts on what to do with the property of King Jing's Mansion were sent out yesterday together with the excerpt for the merit of the Xiaoqi Battalion.
Although it is said that it is 800 miles urgent, it is transferred from Tiger Prison Pass to Jingzhao Mansion, and from Jingzhao Mansion to Zhengzhou. Even if he received his own clear fold, the emperor immediately approved it. But when it is transferred to his own hands, it will not be possible in a few days. Before receiving a clear attitude from the emperor, Huang Qiong had to think twice before dealing with it, even if he wanted to deal with it.
Huang Qiong knew very well that although the emperor gave him great rights, he actually had a lot of restrictions. The so-called right to make decisions on the fly is only given to oneself to deal with the war. For the disposal of Zhengzhou officials, as well as the disposal of these properties in King Jing's Mansion, the emperor still has to decide. If you cut it first and then play it, it will be difficult for the emperor to explain it.
Therefore, after hesitating again and again, Huang Qiong still waited for the commander of Yu Du, and Su Changshi, the new prefect of Zhengzhou, to arrive. Anyway, even if he came forward, there would be no one to deal with it. It's just that having said that, when she saw those papers and the results of the confiscation of the property of the officials involved in the rebellion, Huang Qiong's brows furrowed.
Although he didn't invent fire, his somewhat hideous face showed the anger in his heart. And looking at Huang Qiong's somewhat hideous face, Deputy Envoy Guo, who came to deliver the file in person, swallowed his saliva and said: "Lord Wang, according to the confessions of those people who tortured them, the things on these papers are basically true. β
"Also, except that King Jing's Mansion has not been raided for the time being because he has not been ordered by the Holy Order. The residences of the remaining officials who joined the rebels have now been raided. Although because of the lack of financial management experts in the Xiao Riding Camp, the inventory has not been completely completed for a while. But judging from the fact that some of the belongings that have been counted, all the last general can think of is four words that are shocking. β
"Just the property in the Zhengzhou prefect's mansion that was counted first included 300 ingots of gold and more than 1,200 ingots of silver. There are more than 70 silver tickets in Wuwei Qianzhuang. The rest of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and house deeds are worth at least more than 500,000 yuan. There are 23 land deeds, with a total land of more than 40,000 acres. In addition, according to the confession of his housekeeper who was captured, a large amount of property was transported back to his hometown. β
"As for the soldier and horseman, the amount of gold and silver is not so much, but it is not too bad. There are 500 ingots of gold and silver, and the total value of Wuwei Qianzhuang silver tickets is more than 300,000 yuan. However, the land deeds are all over Jingzhao, Zhengzhou, Bianzhou, Guide, and even Hebei Road, Shanxi Road, and Shandong Road, totaling no less than 10,000 hectares. All kinds of silk, brocade, and silk in the house are piled up, and even some of them have rotted. β
In addition, a large amount of property was also seized from the homes of officials at all levels under the Zhengzhou government. In just one Guancheng county, the value of the property copied from the family is at least 150,000 yuan, and there are more than 30 wives and concubines, most of whom were redeemed from the Qinglou. Because there are too many wives and concubines, summoning wives and concubines to serve in the bed actually adopts the method of flipping the brand. β
Speaking of which, Deputy Envoy Guo, who is also a child of a family and has a very broad vision, said with some emotion: "Lord, Zhengzhou Mansion was upgraded from Zhili Prefecture to Mansion after King Jing became a vassal. It's only been a few years this year, but the officials of Zhengzhou Mansion have made so much ill-gotten gains, and the people of Zhengzhou have really been pitted. β
"The old man of our family has been fighting horses for half his life and has performed important positions, but his family's property is probably far worse than that of a county in charge of the city. Those civil officials always say that we are vulgar as military attachΓ©s, but when it comes to the means of making money, I am afraid that all the military attaches of the Great Qi Dynasty are combined, oh, the firewood soldiers and horses are not counted. It's not as good as a Zhengzhou prefect. β
This Deputy Envoy Guo sighed with emotion, so that Huang Qiong could only be silent. What can he say, what else can he say? Not to mention others, his cousin, that is, this firewood soldier and horse envoy, allowed smuggling in the border army, armed smuggling, protecting smuggling, and even killing smugglers who did not pay him protection money. My own emperor Lao Tzu, really don't know anything at all?
Without the connivance of his own emperor Lao Tzu, his so-called cousin, even if he was given the audacity, he would not dare to make money like this. These officials have come to the point where they are today, if they are counted in detail from the source, their emperor Lao Tzu is probably the first person responsible. If he is really an iron fist, can this ruler be corrupted to this point?
As for how much money these officials made, Huang Qiong can now be said to be numb. The lines and rows of numbers on the file no longer represent anything for Huang Qiong. In his eyes at this moment, it is not uncommon for officials to be corrupt at this time, if there is really that kind of honest official, it is really unusual.
But what made Huang Qiong angry was that the person in his second brother's mansion actually fished up and down. A second steward of King Jing's Mansion who is not even a small official, his family's property is as high as 100,000 yuan, more than 1,000 acres of land under his name, and more than ten wives and concubines are raised in captivity in the outer house. Most of these wives and concubines were snatched by him by relying on the power of King Jing's Mansion.
As for Liu Hu, the enemy who ruined the family, he is known as the number one bully in King Jing's Mansion, and he is also the chief steward of King Jing's Mansion. The honor guards the power of King Jing's mansion, rapes other ** women, and seizes the people's property, which can be said to be all evil. The wives and daughters of the people in Zhengzhou City, as long as they are favored by him, almost none of them can escape his clutches.
Even later developed to the point of walking on the street to fancy someone's wife and daughter. He followed him directly to people's homes and committed adultery in front of other people's husbands and sons. I've had enough of playing by myself, and I'm going to let my dogs keep doing it. Over the past few years, the wives and daughters of people in Zhengzhou Mansion have been insulted countless times by him. But under the protection of the power of King Jingfu, the families of those victims begged everywhere but had no way.
In addition to robbing women by unscrupulous means, this person is more interested in other people's businesses, unlike other people who are interested in land. As long as the shop he fancies, he will do whatever it takes to get it. In the past few years, most of the pawnshops, antique shops, and grain shops in Zhengzhou have been occupied by this person.
Relying on the power of King Jing's Mansion, those bitter masters whose shops, wives and daughters were occupied did not even have a place to complain. In recent years, it has been the intervention of the development of the Division. Whoever wants to fight a lawsuit and does not give him benefits or gifts, he will lose a reasonable lawsuit if he hands a note to Zhengzhou Mansion.
The dossier in front of him is not only the blood and sweat of the people of Zhengzhou, but the blood and tears of the people of Zhengzhou. These people are full of brains one by one, but the people of Zhengzhou have suffered seedlings. No wonder when Liu Hu met him for the first time, he once said that his emperor Laozi sent a disaster star to Zhengzhou.
