Chapter 710: The Seven Deadly Sins (Part II)
On the top of the case, a document listing Zhu Mian's seven felonies is spreading, although there are not many words, but the sentences are like knives, and it makes people's hearts cold:
"There are Jiangnan people and thieves Zhu Mian, who have committed many injustices, brought disaster to the country and the people, and now listed seven of his serious crimes to sue the world-
"First, Zhu Mian inherited the will of the Son of Heaven and shepherded the south of the Yangtze River, but he did not think about the way of peace and governance and treated the people well, but he levied and expropriated countless harms, which was disloyal! second, the disaster of winning the favor of the saint and flowering the stone gang, and even taking advantage of this to make a lot of money, ruined countless Li people's families, and also made the people of Jiangnan resentful of the king, which is to deceive the king; Third, when the anti-thieves broke out, Zhu Mian did not think to lead the army to resist them, but fled first as a local important minister, causing half of the south of the Yangtze River to fall into the hands of thieves, which was incompetent; Fourth, the south of the Yangtze River was in turmoil, and the imperial court allocated troops, but Zhu Mian still did not think about his own mistakes, but withheld military rations, resold them elsewhere, and made no profits, but made the army unable to go south to quell the thieves, which was for greed; Fifth, Zhu Mian acted perversely in Jinling, looting countless times, making the local people miserable and miserable, and abusing the people; Sixth, for the sake of selfish desires, he colluded with the anti-thief Fang La, framed his soldiers several times, causing tens of millions of people to die because of it, which was rebellion; Seventh, in order to cover up his mistakes, he brazenly instigated civil strife in the army, and even personally ordered his subordinates to set up a bureau to kill the generals.
"All these seven serious crimes, all the crimes are true, the crimes should be punished, such a thief and traitor, it is not a death can be redeemed, I hope that the saint will be as good as His Majesty can eliminate the harm for the people as soon as possible, so as to correct the hearing and reassure the people. Then the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River can be calmed down, and the shadows of the world are all called the Holy Monarch......"
After calming down a little, Tong Guan picked up the inscription of Zhu Mian's crimes again and read it, and then said: "If these seven major crimes are really implemented, killing one Zhu Mian is no longer enough to determine the outline of the dynasty, and the common people are complaining, that is, killing him is all over the house, and it is natural to raze the three clans." This Sun Tu has not seen him for many years, but his methods are becoming more and more clever. ”
This is already a day in early April, and the cause and effect of Zhu Mian's incident, which has been in a uproar in the court, has finally reached the northern border fortress, and Tong Guan has also obtained such a document that has been spread to all parts of the Great Song Dynasty and known to all the people after knowing Sun Tu's bold move.
"Yes, Sun Qianli did spend a lot of effort this time, and in just a few days, he made this crime known to the world, which made the wind direction above the court suddenly change. Originally, everyone was still shouting and shouting at Sun Tu for killing the important ministers of the court, but in the blink of an eye, there was no sound. Even Gao Yu and the others, who shouted the hardest, didn't dare to say anything after that incident. The one who spoke was a middle-aged scribe with a handsome face, and it was Cen Yunlou, Tong Mu's highly valued confidant.
"Hehe, what Qianfu pointed out ended in nothing, and they finally knew what it would be like to be spurned by the world. Not to mention that the seven major crimes above are all true, as long as one or two are verified, and the people are in a tide, the official family is afraid that they will no longer protect Zhu Mian. ”
After a pause, Tong Guan thought of something again: "By the way, what will the court do in the future on Sun Tu's side?" ”
"It's ridiculous to say that to this day, the DPRK and China have not been able to come up with a definite idea about this. Not only that, but even the successor after Zhu Mian has not yet been decided. Cen Yunlou replied with a smile.
This made Tong Guan smile again and shook his head: "The situation between the DPRK and China seems to be becoming more and more complicated, this must be the result of the entanglement of many forces, in their eyes, Jiangnan is just a disease of scabies, and troops can be sent to exterminate it at any time." But I don't know if it weren't for the fact that Sun Tu had already unified the armies in the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that that there would have been erosion, and maybe the rebel army would have been able to kill the Yangtze River. However, in this way, it is cheaper for Sun Tu, as long as it drags on for a while, when he takes a few more cities, even if the imperial court sends generals south, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move it at all. After all, the military is different from the DPRK, and it still has to rely on merit to speak. ”
"Tong Shuai, the villain has a question, the DPRK and China are really so complicated that they can't decide on a candidate for so long? Isn't Taishi Cai still convinced? Can't he find someone available on his own? "In the military, Cen Yunlou can help Tong Guan a lot, but in terms of his grasp of the court situation, he is far worse than Fang Qian, who is also Tong Guan's confidant.
Tong Guan glanced at him with a smile: "Haven't you seen it yet, in fact, Taishi Cai has already decided on the candidate." ”
"This ......"
Looking at the other party's somewhat puzzled expression, Tong Guan could only point out the facts: "With the power of the etheric master, as long as he opens his mouth, he can immediately shut up others and elect someone." But now he has chosen to let it go, and only let Sun Tu act as the commander, doesn't this mean who he chosen? ”
Cen Yunlou suddenly said: "I see! But why didn't Taishi Cai choose Sun Tu directly? ”
"That's going to be true. Sun Tu had just killed Zhu Mian on the next offense, if the Taishi really chose him, how would others think of him? How many such changes will occur in the Great Song Army in the future? This wind is indispensable, so he chooses to be silent and only let Sun Tu be a real and unknown coach. And as long as he can really lead the army to quell the chaos as soon as possible, the previous sins can also be written off. It can be said that the Taishi is also testing his ability, if he can really calm the chaos for the court, everything is naturally good to say, if not, then he will be punished for several crimes, and it is not too much to kill him. Tong Guan didn't have much concern in front of his cronies, and directly said Cai Jing's thoughts.
After all, Cai Jing is a rare master of governance in the Great Song Dynasty, and he has regained control of the overall situation in his own hands just quietly. Don't look at the forces in the court are fighting endlessly over this matter, but it is all under his control. And he is also wise and calm enough, even if Sun Tu has a holiday with him, he also knows what the situation in Jiangnan is at this time, and who should be chosen to deal with the current crisis. Therefore, although he is the most famous traitor in the Northern Song Dynasty, his ability is still very great, at least ten times stronger than Liang Shicheng, Gao Yu and others, but his selfishness far exceeds his public heart, so he will become a generation of traitors.
Of course, Cai Jing was reluctant to come forward and say it directly, and Tong Guan also saw it, but it was not easy to say it directly - that is, he still had to worry about Zhao Ji's reaction. The emperor must be deeply dissatisfied with Sun Tu, who killed his favorite minister, and it is already the emperor's grace to not kill him because of the boiling of public resentment, and it is naturally impossible to accept the matter of letting Sun Tu replace Zhu Mian. Cai Jing is good at feminine and charming, so naturally it is impossible to do such a stupid thing.
"I see, the villain understands, he is indeed clever!" Cen Yunlou praised sincerely, but he didn't know whether he was referring to Cai Jing's means, or Tong Guan watching the fire from the other side, and he could see Cai Jing's eyesight at once.
Tong Guan nodded, but his brows were slightly locked, and he muttered again: "Sun Tu...... This kid's wings are getting harder and harder now, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger, and he dares to kill even an important minister like Zhu Mian. Isn't he really afraid of causing death to himself? To be honest, he was a little scared, for fear that if one was not good, he would be implicated by it.
Before Sun Tu's impeachment of Cai Jing, Tong Guan was so frightened that he fled directly to the north, and if there was really a change in what he said, Tong Guan would have nowhere to hide.
After a while, he snorted, "It seems that we must send him a letter as soon as possible, so that he will not have any more troubles." Does he really think that the imperial court can always tolerate him doing such nonsense, once he plays with fire too much, he will only die without a place to be buried, and he will implicate others. ”
No matter how much Tong Guan was dissatisfied and uneasy about Sun Tu, at least he was still quite safe now, because this book listing Zhu Mian's seven major crimes had indeed spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty.
Originally, everyone was very dissatisfied with Zhu Mian's various actions in Jiangnan, and listed him as one of the six thieves in the court. And now, after learning of these major crimes committed by him, everyone naturally condemns them. Especially when some people from the south of the Yangtze River came forward to say that their families were ruined because of Huashigang, they had to leave their hometowns, or their families were ruined, which ignited the anger of hundreds of people and scholars.
As a result, in just over half a month, there were scholars in all the state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty who wrote articles to denounce them, and those with identities directly sent these condemned documents to the government. And some people in the officialdom, especially those from the Jiangnan region, couldn't sit still, so they immediately conspired with each other, and then went to the table to impeach Zhu Mian and his family members for all kinds of atrocities, and asked the court to give justice and an explanation to the suffering people. Anyway, in the final analysis, it is the same meaning, that is, it is okay if Zhu Mian is dead, but his family members must also be punished accordingly, and his family property must be confiscated......
If Zhu Mian is still alive, the officials of the DPRK and China will either hinder their friendship with him, or have a handle or something in his hands, and they will come forward to exonerate him anyway, at least they will not fall into the ground. But now, it's a different story.
It is inevitable that people above the officialdom will go to tea and cool, not to mention that he has become a dead man. When the condemnation came like a wave, when he was impeached and asked the court to confiscate his family property flew into the capital from all directions like snowflakes, almost everyone chose to remain silent. In less than two days, the tone changed rapidly, first the people of the Yushitai, and then other officials of the DPRK and China, all began to impeach Zhu Mian, listed his major crimes, and wrote him as a heinous and unforgivable villain.
In this way, even Zhao Ji couldn't protect him anymore, so he took the opportunity to finalize the crime. Anyway, everyone is dead, and then settling accounts after the autumn can be regarded as making up for the dead, and giving an explanation to the people of the world.
In this wave, Zhu Mian's family members were unlucky, almost all of them were taken down by the government, and the family property was also confiscated...... Anyway, one Zhu family has fallen, but another gang of silverfish has been cheapened.
Of course, Sun Tu is also one of the ones who profited from it, but he didn't get much money because of it, but no one dared to use this as an excuse to shout and kill him, and even among the people, he was regarded as a hero by countless people, and his reputation rose even higher......
