The people who impeached Li Xiaofei were in an endless stream from Jiangling County to the imperial court, and even Cui Ju wrote a letter to impeach Li Xiaofei and Cao Kan's life.

The gang of people in the academy were ready to impeach Li Xiaofei when he first arrived in Jiangling, but at this time they were divided into two factions.

The reason is very simple, the people sent by the academy to Linjiang Kingdom followed Li Xiaofei and made a fortune, and they also sent back a lot of gifts to honor several teachers.

To tell the truth, Chen Zhengnan Xun Gongtai and they are very entangled in their hearts, on the one hand, there is a steady stream of money, and on the other hand, there is a factional dispute.

Shen Yuanhao is very firm, he wants to collect money, but the banner of morality cannot be lost.

Shen Yuanhao did not directly impeach Li Xiaofei in his book, but talked about Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and talked about the second emperor Huan Ling of the Han Dynasty, which means that if the imperial court cares too much about accumulating wealth, it is easy to lose people's hearts and cause turmoil in the world.

Liu Jian was very unhappy after reading it, how could the always shrewd Shen Yuanhao insinuate that the emperor was the second emperor of Huan Ling, he was not crazy.

Above the court, Zhen Yuanhao continued to say that Li Xiaofei had accumulated too much wealth and killed too many people, although he had merit, in order to calm the people's anger, it was best to transfer to another place.

The first to oppose was Chen Zhengnan, and Shen Yuanhao was taken aback.

He was not mistaken, it was Chen Zhengnan, Chen Zhengnan said unhurriedly: "What Li Xiaofei killed was just a traitor who resisted the imperial court, and the taxes paid by the Jiangguo Kingdom to the imperial court in the past six months were fifteen times that of Jiangling County in the past!" What a credit to this? Even if there is a small amount of ill-gotten wealth from someone who has been wrongfully killed, the imperial court will send someone to strictly reprimand and supervise it! Now that the new policy has just been implemented in Linjiang for nine months, rashly replacing Li Xiaofei may lead to the failure of the new policy! ”

After hearing this, Shen Yuanhao knew what was going on, twenty-eight of the subordinate officials under Li Xiaofei were all disciples of the academy, and twenty of the twenty-eight were disciples of Chen Zhengnan.

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the same is true at the local level, if the newly sent minister wants to cultivate his own cronies, then the people sent by the academy are very likely to be replaced.

Before Shen Yuanhao could respond to Chen Zhengnan, Xun Gongtai also spoke: "Li Xiaofei knows people well, and he admires them very much this time, the twenty-eight subordinate officials sent from the academy are all inexperienced scholars, and now they can handle political affairs and train soldiers and horses, and the ministers are ashamed of this ability!" ”

Xun Gongtai intended to remind Shen Yuanhao that if Li Xiaofei was eliminated, the future promotion of these disciples would also be affected, so it was better to use Li Xiaofei to cultivate the disciples of the academy first.

Shen Yuanhao comprehended and bowed to Liu Jian: "The old minister is confused, he misbelieved the rumors, please forgive your majesty!" ”

At this time, Liu Jian had already sensed the intentions of the people in the academy, and he also had a plan in his heart: "Shang Shuling is serious, is there an act of indiscriminately killing innocents and looting wealth, I will send yellow-clothed guards to investigate!" Merit is merit and demerit, and rewards and punishments need to be clear! ”

Chen Hongyi, Liu Mingge, and Murong Ling were silent to Xiao Yu and the others at this time, waiting for Liu Jian to say what he really wanted to say.

Liu Jian looked at Liu Mingge: "Prime Minister Liu, don't you have some good ideas for the trial implementation of the new deal?" Why not take advantage of today's discussion? ”

Liu Mingge got up and took out a large sheet of expression: "Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking for many days, this new policy is conducive to enriching the country and strengthening the army, but there are situations in various places, if they are all dealt with like Linjiang State, I am afraid it will lead to turmoil in the world!" ”

Everyone in the academy was surprised, this Liu Mingge has always supported Li Xiaofei, why did he have a different view of the new policy this time.

Before everyone in the academy could speak, Liu Mingge answered

said: "The prefectures, counties and counties of my Daliang are different, only Jingzhou alone, there are many people in the north, and many original family names have fled. But the local clans in the south of Jingzhou have not suffered any losses. Li Xiaofei was able to succeed this time because the foundation of the family in Linjiang Country had long been weakened! Further south, it is unlikely that it will go so smoothly. Moreover, Cui Ju in the Chenzhou area, almost the whole family moved to Chenzhou, if you send someone to Chenzhou to implement the new policy now, how sure do you think you can be? ”

Everyone was silent, and Liu Mingge began to analyze again: "The big family surnames in the south of Jingzhou have long shared weal and woe with the local villagers, and unlike the Central Plains families, they give shelter to the untouched as long as they have the same surname, and even support the children and grandchildren of the untouchables to study and study. In this case, it was difficult to dismantle them, and the few displaced people who fled to the local area were also cared for by them and were willing to hide in their estates. If the imperial court wanted to send people to take stock of the population and collect taxes per capitation, it would be almost impossible! ”

After Liu Mingge finished speaking, Chen Hongyi also spoke: "Prime Minister Liu Cheng is telling the truth, and the old man is also one of the families, and now he is also in a dilemma. To support the new policy is to cut the flesh of oneself and one's people, and not to support the new policy is to oppose the imperial court! Therefore, before thinking of a way to adapt measures to local conditions, I rashly went to Lingnan to implement the new policy, I am afraid that even the old man will not be able to control the situation at that time! ”

Liu Jian saw that everyone was telling the truth, so he waved his hand: "What you said makes sense, I think that this new policy really needs to be adapted to local conditions, and I think it can be implemented in the counties of Jiangbei and Shuzhong first!" As for the Jiangnan area, it will be implemented in the future after the imperial court is rich! As for Li Xiaofei, he is currently continuing to consolidate the new policy in Linjiang State. Prime Minister Liu Cheng took the subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion to Linjiang Country to inspect for a month, and he could act cheaply after cutting first! ”

After Liu Mingge and his entourage arrived in Linjiang Kingdom, they really found out a lot of problems in a month.

The first is the indiscriminate killing of innocents. Indeed, some pavilion chiefs led Li Xiaofei's new army to kill some wealthy families who had not fought against the imperial court in order to avenge their personal revenge, and among those who were killed to resist the new policy, hundreds of them were just tenant farmers who cultivated the acres of large fields.

The second is to fill one's own pockets. From Li Xiaofei to those pavilion chiefs, almost all of them have filled their pockets from the confiscated property, especially the subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, almost all of them have made a lot of money.

Third, the implementation of the new policy is chaotic. The basis for collecting taxes is chaotic, and daughters who marry outside have to pay taxes at both their in-laws' and mother's families, and some pavilion chiefs even count only men in the population, some force farmers to sell their cattle at a low price to pay taxes, and some dig up coffins to pay taxes.

Seeing the 374 cases found out by Liu Mingge, Li Xiaofei broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to come out.

Liu Mingge didn't get angry, but patted Li Xiaofei on the shoulder: "Young man, there is still a long way to go!" Don't think that you can get everything done by throwing money at it, there are many people who take your money and will continue to harm you! What's more, these students who have just come out of the academy have just stepped into the officialdom, and you guide them like this, who will dare to use them in the future? ”

Li Xiaofei nodded frequently, and Liu Mingge looked at the Linjiang State officials kneeling in a row: "I'm not a nerd who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and I didn't come here to let you live a hard life!" But there is some money in this world that you can't take! Moreover, all the money you take is stained with the blood of the people! ”

Li Xiaofei also knelt down: "I will bear the blame alone!" Please give everyone a chance! ”

"You can't afford it! Those who declare personal vendetta must be punished properly! The money that was collected indiscriminately must be returned to the people! Liu Mingge rejected Li Xiaofei in one bite

Everyone kowtowed again and again to thank them

Liu Mingge didn't know when he had an extra ring ruler in his hand: "All the disciples of the academy will stretch out their hands!" ”

The sound of snapping rang out for half an hour

"I beat you because I hate iron and not steel! I hate you for tarnishing the reputation of the College! But don't think you're done after being beaten! ”

The faces of the people turned pale, thinking that Liu Mingge would punish them heavily

Li Xiaofei pleaded again: "Prime Minister, I am willing to donate all my family property in exchange for the lives of these subordinate officials!" ”

"Your possessions, I'm not rare! Their capital crimes are forgiven, but living crimes cannot be escaped! Punish each of you to copy the Book of Filial Piety, the Book of Morality, and the Book of Rites, and then halve it for three years! Originally, I was going to punish you for three years, but because you still have a small family, it will only be halved for three years! ”

"Prime Minister Xie is tolerant! Xie Cheng Cheng Kai Grace"

"Thank you, Uncle Ancestor!"

Liu Mingge's face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Grace!" When the people were taken away by you, and the cattle were dug up by you, and the corpses were exposed in the wilderness, did you show them kindness? As a human being, why is it so mean and unkind? ”

The crowd continued to kowtow and admit their mistakes and beg for mercy

"I hope you do it yourself, your name is already on the killing list of your own appearance, just waiting for one day to tick it!"

Liu Mingge glanced at Li Xiaofei again: "I hope you remember that a person's luck will run out, and walking the world is not based on money and martial arts, but to be a person with a heart!" If you continue to be so arrogant and neglectful, one day you will reap the consequences! ”

Li Xiaofei respectfully kowtowed: "Thank you for Prime Minister Liu's teachings!" In the next day, he immediately dealt with the aftermath, compensated the unjustly killed people, comforted the injured people, and never forgot that he was also a descendant of a pariah! ”

"If you do something wrong, you are the children of the untouchables, and these untouchables are too unlucky! I hope all of you stop calling people untouchables! ”

Everyone continued to kowtow in agreement, and many people's heads had already broken through the blood at this time.

Liu Mingge had already gotten up and walked a few steps, and when everyone was about to get up, Liu Mingge turned around and came back: "Li Xiaofei, this prime minister will punish you for copying the Book of Filial Piety ten times!" Make no mistake! Your name is also on the list of killings in your own right! ”

When Liu Mingge really left the palace and walked away, everyone collapsed to the ground.

Liu Zhengqing, who was not from the academy, asked: "Why are you so afraid of this Prime Minister Liu, I think he is actually very generous!" ”

Sang Qingyang, who was born in the academy, gasped and said: "You, don't you know, you are on the killing list of your uncle and ancestor, even if you are a prince and general, he thinks that you should be killed, you can't escape!" ”

"There are too many strange people under Uncle Shi's ancestor, and there is only one way to die against him!"

Li Xiaofei coughed twice: "Don't talk about Prime Minister Liu behind your back, it's hard to figure out that there are people above our heads who are listening to us!" This time it's a lesson for us! We're in a hurry, too! Hurry up and follow me to the aftermath! ”

Liu Mingge seems to have come to strictly investigate Li Xiaofei, but in fact he came to save Li Xiaofei and these officials.

Wang Qingzhi is already secretly collecting these evidences, and now it has all become an unjust, false and wrongful case found out by Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng has come forward to deal with it, and it makes no sense for Wang Qingzhi to report to the imperial court again.

After a month of dealing with the aftermath, Li Xiaofei led his subordinate officials to mourn the people who were killed, distributed houses and land to the victims' families outside the city, and selected the strong children to be incorporated into the new army.

The mistake that was enough to cause Li Xiaofei to die was brought back to life in Liu Ming's singer.
