Chapter 44: Su Fengji's case is closed
With the appointment of Shang Hongqian and the new marshal, with the assistance of the Privy Council, an adjustment was made to the Tokyo Forbidden Army. Basically, in accordance with Liu Chengyou's instructions, he took charge of strict military discipline, strengthened training, and carried out a wave of small-scale transfers of generals and colonels of various armies. Among them, Shi Hongzhao and Liu Xinxin were convinced to be generals, or transferred to other departments, or sent to the state town.
And Shang Hongqian, don't look at his previous sense of existence and prestige, but this person's reputation is still good, at least no one dislikes him. Of course, when he was really ordered to control the forbidden army and strictly enforce military discipline, Shang Hongqian's methods were not soft at all, but he was not as ruthless and excessive as Shi and Liu.
is still the same sentence, in this era of rampant tigers and wolves, how can it be all luck to work hard in the army to reach the high position of general. Even if Shang Hongqian is not talented enough and "has no quarrel with the world", how can he be regarded purely as an "honest man"?
When the post of forbidden marshal was settled, Liu Chengyou, who had been hanging for a long time in Kaifeng Mansion, had already agreed on the candidate. A person who surprised many people, Hou Yi, the Duke of Lu Guo, who was raised by him in Tokyo to senate the government.
Liu Chengyou did not mean to be the emperor's brother or the emperor's brother, but according to his idea, he wanted to choose a promising and capable minister to judge the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion. Liu Xianjiao, Jing Fan, Li Hub, and Wu Xingde are all under his consideration, and these people are also one of the few people who have the ability to govern Kaifeng Mansion in the eyes of Liu Chengyou.
Liu Xianjiao and Jing Fan, one of Ruzhou has not yet been governed, and the other is responsible for Zhengzhou affairs, not to mention, Liu Chengyou can promote Jing Fan to the defense of Zhengzhou in one word, but he can't be entrusted to Kaifeng at once.
Li Hub, an old minister of the former dynasty who joined Liu Chengyou in Hebei last year, although he didn't know each other well, but after working together for a few months, his ability could still stand the test. When Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to the Chengde Observer Envoy, who was in charge of the civil affairs of Heng, Hebei, Zhao, and Shenji northern prefectures and counties, and supervised agricultural affairs. During this time, I did a good job, and I couldn't leave at all.
As for Wu Xingde, this minister gave Liu Chengyou a very good impression, and he had no complaints when he was transferred away from Heyang, which was a small popular city. However, it was not long after he moved to Xuzhou, so it was reasonable, and Liu Chengyou was not good at doing anything to it, even if it was commissioned by the Kaifeng government.
After thinking about it, when Hou Yi was summoned to consult the west of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chengyou thought about this "old loach".
Just like Shang Hongqian, Liu Chengyou has similar thoughts about using Hou Yi. It's just that the difference is that Hou Yi, an old man, is slippery and shrewd, and he should be very comfortable with the Lord Kaifeng Mansion.
Of course, it's not that the Han Dynasty doesn't have other talents with enough ability, the Han Dynasty has a lot of old and new officials and courtiers, but there are few who have enough qualifications, fame, and high ability to reassure Liu Chengyou.
And Liu Chengyou is promising, as a smart man, Hou Yi, is placed in the position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, will he live a life of inaction? In this regard, Liu Chengyou still has a little expectation.
......
The movement of "Bang La La" resounded in the hall, which was the sound of the piece being thrown vigorously, followed by Liu Chengyou's angry questioning: "Is this world still my world?" In the land of, in the face of the imperial edict, it was still deaf. With such contempt for the majesty of the imperial court, is it really young and deceitful? ”
Liu Chengyou stood in front of the imperial case, his eyes were terrifying, he was furious, and he coldly glanced at the ministers in the palace. The ministers were all sitting, but it was estimated that they were not sitting as steadyly as they appeared, and there were no superfluous expressions on each face.
This is the first time that Liu Chengyou has been so angry since he ascended the throne.
The reason for Liu Chengyou's anger was the implementation of the edict after the western tour at the beginning of the month. The imperial court abolished the miscellaneous taxes in the past, strictly forbade the officials of the Han Dynasty and the prefectures to levy privately, and the edict was spread to the world.
And today, Liu Chengyou received a report from Li Shaoyou that in Prefecture, some officials ignored the imperial edict and still imposed heavy taxes, collecting wealth and disturbing the people. Then, Liu Chengyou began with a fury at this imperial meeting.
"Your Majesty, please take a break from the wrath of thunder." Yang Wei stood up and said with a tough attitude: "Local officials and generals, or those who are unscrupulous, ignore the imperial edict and deal with them properly, so as to set an example and restore the majesty of the imperial court!" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Wang Zhang agreed.
After all, the perpetrators were all grassroots county and town officials who used them to establish their authority, and there was not much psychological pressure. Moreover, judging by the reaction of the Son of Heaven, if the imperial court does not come up with countermeasures, how can it rest.
Sure enough, Liu Chengyou said directly and sternly: "The Gyeonggi Prefectures, if they violate the order, they should be held accountable and dismissed." Yang Qing, a local official, how rude he was, was dismissed, and the court officials were transferred from Tokyo to know his place! In addition, the government decree will be issued again, and the festival will be passed on, so that it will be strictly implemented! ”
"Yes!" Yang Wei should go down.
The official knew the county, which was a means used by Liu Chengyou to strengthen the influence and control of the imperial court over the local area. Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, for the time being, we can only toss the prefectures and towns directly under the imperial court such as. For those officials who ignore the order, other towns are out of reach for the time being, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they are rampant?
Regarding this matter, Liu Chengyou's angry reaction was obviously a little bigger, and there was a feeling of overexertion. In fact, it is precisely like this, at the time of the downgrading, Liu Chengyou expected such a situation. The world has been chaotic for decades, and it is like this, if the imperial court comes out with a policy, and the local generals can implement it wholeheartedly, then there will be a problem.
Liu Chengyou's anger is a gesture that can raise his voice in front of the ministers, which also represents an inadvertent change in his position of power. It can be said that now Liu Chengyou, a young genius, has basically gotten rid of the suppression of the ministers.
After venting, Liu Chengyou returned to his usual solemn posture, calm and introverted, and could discuss matters well......
"Your Majesty, after the trial of the three yas, the case of the criminal Su Fengji can be closed." After discussing grain, salt and iron, which were important matters related to the financial lifeline of the imperial court, Yang Wei said to Liu Chengyou.
"Oh? Got a result? Liu Chengyou glanced at Yang Wei and pretended to be surprised.
Liu Chengyou has already heard about the push of Su Fengji's case, and this matter has a lot of impact in Tokyo. Yang Wei personally tried him in Kaifeng Mansion, two sworn enemies, and there was a wonderful "debate" in the court. Even if he is in prison and in a state of interrogation, he is still very arrogant. Or, at the time of great trouble, he realized that the emperor wanted to deal with him, and he felt that the future was bleak, and he broke the jar.
In the process of trying the case, Yang Wei ordered someone to announce to the officials and people in Tokyo, and against Su Fengji, anyone who has grievances can be complained about in Kaifeng Mansion. As soon as this complaint came out, it caused a lot of emotion in Tokyo, and in one day, there were hundreds of people in all kinds of people. In the meantime, the most surprising thing is Xu Guogong's mother and son.
Liu Chengyou also heard about the "wonderful" during the period, which was quite unexpected. He had the urge to see the "flower shame" a little, and he actually provoked Su Fengji to eat leopard gall, and he couldn't hold back his covetousness......
"After the discussion of the ministers and others, the crimes committed by Su Fengji are clearly named, and there are 14 capital crimes, all of which are conclusive evidence, and according to the criminal law, they should be punished with capital punishment!" Yang Wei said with a cold face.
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou just nodded, Yang Wei really didn't mean to show any mercy. After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou looked at the others: "What do you think?" ”
