Verse 7 is a farce of ugliness
Bai Shizhong's side raided the homes of high-ranking officials and ministers, and reaped unexpected results.
The four cadres of the central leading group in charge of the looting dealt with ordinary officials, and naturally they did not have any big scruples.
There are quite a few inconspicuous ones, and any scholar of some serious status would not have regarded them as human beings at all. The family of a mere official can have a wealth of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Not only did he have a lot of gold and silver, but he could also copy out a lot of precious jade and jewelry. And this wealth is not the result of ancestral property.
These officials are all specific clerks in various departments who have some real power, and they have enough oil and water, and now they know that these little people who are mixed in the officialdom are really bold and dare to be ruthless.
This also reflects the extent to which the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty has rotted from the side.
Small officials are still like this, and it is conceivable how ruthless and rich those high-powered officials can get. The results of the raids also proved the extent of bureaucratic greed.
But after comprehensive harvest, Bai Shizhong's mood became heavier and heavier, and now his heart was really cold.
That's a lot!
It was 108,000 miles short of what the pirates were demanding.
After crying poverty again to the pirate envoy, kneeling down and begging regardless of his face, but getting Zhong Xiang to sneer and ignore him with a faint sigh, Bai Shizhong will be really sober, and the first thing he did was to go home immediately, ignoring the crying of his wife, concubines and children, and personally commanded all the people and property that met the requirements of the pirates to be cleaned, and watched the forbidden army load and transport away these people and property of his family and other people and things looted together, no matter how heartbroken and crying the pirates were left in the family, went straight to the palace to meet Emperor Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji, who had been paying attention to the looting situation in secret, briefly reported the situation, and Bai Shizhong kowtowed to the ground and cried: "The minister deserves death, and he can't complete the task." β
Zhao Ji's face was black, but it was no wonder that Bai Shizhong didn't do his best.
He knew Cai Jing and Tong Guan...... There are also doubts in my heart about the performance of others and the property taken out, but this is not the time to think about this, and I also know the embarrassment and the meaning of Bai Shizhong, so I comforted me a few words and said: "It's because I think badly." It's hard to love Qing these days. β
Tell the chief eunuch: "Take out everything that is in the palace." Hand them all over. I hope that the pirates will be content to retreat, and my Great Song Jiangshan and my people will be healthy again. β
He also asked Emperor Zhao Huan to hand over another holy decree to Bai Shizhong: give the right to raid all the royal families.
This time, the royal family of the royal family with a transcendent status could not escape the "selfless dedication".
Time flies like lightning, but the amount demanded by the pirates is still far from being fulfilled.
The catastrophe will come in a blink of an eye.
I don't dare to take chances anymore. At this point, I can't care about the dignity of the royal family and the resentment of the royal family against the emperor. They all have to be copied as quickly as possible.
The astonishing gold and silver wealth in the palace filled the hole, and it really helped a big thing, but it was still not a small hole.
And the pirate envoy finally said lightly: "I finally understand something." β
There was still nothing else to say, just looked at the members of the Central Leading Group except Bai Shizhong, who had consciously cleaned up his family wealth, his eyes were cold and obviously mocking.
The respectful four generals of the raiders also sensed the pirate envoy's emotions towards him in the bow of his head, and they were all terrified.
In the past few days, I have been ordered to loot wantonly, and the pirates have sent it, and they have also sent it. I couldn't see a lot of good things before, but I had the courage to catch a lot, and the pirates were undoubtedly numerous.
The panic prompted the members of these groups to take a tough stance when raiding the royal homes of their royal relatives.
These social parasite aristocrats, who have always relied on imperial power to live the most decent, dashing, and wealthy and coquettish lives, are naturally not easy to mess with, and they are used to being arrogant and arrogant........ All of them will be swept clean, and suddenly they will be as crazy as digging out their hearts, one after another, one after another, all of them will ignore the royal system and scold the officials who come to the door to raid the door, and they will pounce on them and beat them up with their hands. Hit out. The bold and ferocious even dare to kill people directly, kill and raid homes, and kill women, children, and beauties who want to be taken away.
"What this king (Lao Tzu) can't enjoy, pirates can't even imagine. People, I don't have to pay if I kill them all. I burned and destroyed my belongings......."
Domineering, murderous, vicious and arrogant....... It fully reveals how selfish, shameless, and inhuman the nature of such a noble and accustomed noble social parasite is.
Bai Shizhong was anxious.
What the hell are you going to do, beat our officials, kill a few forbidden soldiers and petty officials to vent your anger, you killed the people you should hand over, and your wealth was ruined, what do you want to do?
"Generations have enjoyed the emperor's grace and enjoyed the support of all the people, but in times of national disaster, they actually disregarded the system and the overall situation of the safety of the Great Song Dynasty. The soldiers arrested them for me, and if anyone dared to make trouble or even commit murder, they would be beaten until they were honest. He deserved to be killed. Those who dare to use weapons to resist are to be killed directly, and they must not be allowed to wantonly slaughter women and children and set fire to and destroy property. Something happened, and Ben Xiang took it. β
The forbidden army killed his brother in the army, and his life was also in danger, and he was resentful but couldn't do anything to retaliate and was particularly aggrieved and resentful, with this order, his eyes suddenly widened, and he pulled out his knife and pounced fiercely, which is not a good thing, either a military ruffian or a social villain, he is used to doing evil, and he is ruthless with a ferocious shot, and the back of the knife is smashed hard, and the gun is fiercely drawn...... Yes, he dared to play a tough game and shouted, "Come, kill me, if you have a kind of you, you will kill this king (your own uncle...... Try "the old days of the noble to the unattainable to fight this happy...... When will there be such an opportunity to praise the nobles...... In the past, I was just a mustard in the eyes of these people......
These noble bastards are pampered on weekdays, they are all pampered, they have suffered from beatings, and at the beginning they were still arrogant but hard-mouthed and brave, but they were beaten a few times, and when they saw that the forbidden army really dared to let them go and beat them and even killed them on the spot, they were all honest one by one.
Bai Shizhong had to take on the responsibility bravely in order to save the property that had to be handed over to the pirates, so he had to take on the responsibility bravely, saving the property and people that the pirates wanted, better filling the holes, reducing the punishment that the pirates would come, and also suppressing the arrogance of these imperial relatives who relied on the imperial power to believe that Bai Shizhong did not dare to really treat them.
Bai Shizhong sneered at the various threats lying on the ground crying and wailing and saying that he would retaliate afterwards: "This prime minister is dedicated to the country and the king, and this heart can be expressed every day, are you afraid of threats?" All the belongings of the Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor have been taken out, and the concubines and beauties in the palace have to be handed over, what are you people? How dare you violently resist the decree regardless of the overall situation? It is already cheap for you not to kill you on the spot, to punish disloyalty and disrespect to the king. If you dare to be selfish and shameless, provoke the power of the king, and trample on the majesty of the court, Hugh blames the prime minister, and then orders the soldiers to use swords against you. β
He still didn't say a word in his heart: "Killing all of you cysts that can only make feces can also save countless money and food consumption, and alleviate the difficulty of maintaining national affairs in the future." β
The Song Dynasty has existed for hundreds of years, and the population of the royal family has been very large, and there are too many "noble pigs" that the country has raised for nothing.
In the past, the Great Song Dynasty was extremely wealthy, and it was nothing to raise these pure waste pigs that could not be killed and eaten, and they could afford to raise more, but now?
In the future, civil and military officials who are serious officials will not have a good life. How can you have the spare energy to take care of so many things that are not as good as pigs and dogs, and squander pleasures wantonly.
Earn for nothing, from generation to generation the king and enjoy the wealth and glory, this has been blessed and enjoyed is a sin, at this time he actually does not know that he is redundant, and dares to ignore the safety of the country and the society that supports them to go down to wealth? This kind of shameless search for the dead, what are you waiting for if you don't kill it early?
Unfortunately, no.
Bai Shizhong was indignant, and for a while, the heart of the official, who had been dark for a long time, was also full of a sense of justice, and all the enjoyment of extorting these royal relatives from the pirates made these noble and shameless people unlucky, and he also vaguely felt a trace of pleasure.
It's long overdue to teach these rich wastes a lesson.
It's a pity that Benxiang is not a pirate, he can't join in, he can't fully appreciate the pleasure of teaching the Song royal family, and he is also a member of the unlucky.
suppressed the most arrogant and brazen of the royal family, and it will be easy to do it any further.
From the capital to the Gyeonggi region outside the capital, all the royal relatives and relatives were forcibly raided.
These pigs with good reincarnation skills are rich and noble for generations, supported by the imperial court, rewarded by the emperor, and plundered by all kinds of tricks, except for a very few who are not treated by the emperor and are down, the rest of the families are rich in money and grain, and there are mountains of gold, silver and jewelry. Gathered together to fill the hole, it played a big role at once.
Bai Shizhong saw the "cumulative number of dedications" that was close to extortion, and suddenly understood: the pirate's extortion was not arbitrarily demanded by the lion, but it was fundamentally an accurate estimate of the financial resources of the Great Song Dynasty, at least the financial resources of the Gyeonggi region.....
Therefore, the pirate from the poor man received the countless treasures of the palace but was indifferent, and the pirate envoy responded with a sneer when he heard the amazing wealth sent.
The pirate already knew in his mind, how could he be satisfied with what he was sure to achieve but was not far from what he wanted?
Realizing this, Bai Shizhong couldn't help but shiver violently.
The rulers of the Great Song Dynasty could not grasp the things of their own country, but the pirates could. Pirate Nation ........ What a terrible enigmatic country and the Great Song Dynasty opponent this is!
The sense of crisis is becoming more and more irrepressible.
Bai Shizhong once again personally led the team to revisit the homes of the ministers.
Nothing to be polite this time around.
It's not polite anymore.
The emperor and the royal family have been cleaned up, and the minister still wants to fool around is a joke, and he can't fill the hole of the pirates.
He stood in the courtyard of Tong Guan's house, his face haggard and gray, his eyes bloodshot, his face expressionless, stiff and silent as he watched the forbidden army pour into the inner courtyard.......
Tong Guan also stood in the courtyard without saying a word, looking at the officers and soldiers in front of him, turning his home of the supreme military commander upside down, watching boxes of belongings being carried out and directly loaded into the car and pulled to the river for loading, watching the beauties and maids at home being pulled out one by one or crying or being nervous, in fact, secretly happy to be escorted away by the forbidden army and loaded directly on the ship, watching the rest of the people crying but useless...... His heart was dripping with blood, his stomach was full of murderous intent and his eyes were shining fiercely in all directions......
At this moment, he was very eager to immediately beg the emperor without fear of death, and immediately begged the emperor to allow him to lead his troops to brazenly counterattack the pirates, regain his wealth, erase his shame, and die in battle without regret on the spot.
Of course, it is only a momentary bloody emotion stirred up by heartache and hatred.
It is impossible for the emperor (Zhao Ji) to promise him. What kind of virtue Zhao Ji is, he knows best.
Even if Zhao Ji wanted to turn his face and try to really allow him to lead the troops to resist and retaliate against the pirates, he was so frightened that he didn't have the courage to sacrifice his life. Retreat, compromise, honestly bow his head and endure the humiliation, if he were to face the pirate envoy again, he would still choose to do so. He was just a eunuch, a rotten bureaucrat with no eggs.
copied to Zhang Bangchang's house, Zhang Bangchang also had a blue face and did not say a word......
Gao Yu's family doesn't have to copy it anymore, it was copied last time, and afterwards he sent someone to secretly watch whether Gao Mansion would transfer the property hidden elsewhere back to the house, but no.
Copied to the founding nobles' house, the nobles involved were all pale, and the ladies and gentlemen were like dead fathers dragging the searched property and splashing their hands, but they were pushed away by the officers and soldiers and even beaten to the ground in anger.
In view of the lesson of the royal family's nonsense and rebellion, this time the forbidden army is the imperial forest guard around the emperor, and it is not the one who can take revenge and deal with it casually, and dare to take action.
The only noble who made Bai Shizhong easier was the home of the descendants of Gao Huaide, the king of Kaiping, that is, the home of Gao Jiguang, the commander of the army under Zhao Gonglian.
Similar to Zhao Yue's family, the head of the Gao family is also the old lady of the Changfang who is still alive, and he is also Gao Jiguang's own grandmother.
The old lady ordered to take the initiative to prepare the belongings and people to be handed over at home, and sat in the courtyard to watch the actions of the group.
Those family members who only know how to be greedy for money and pleasure are willing to lose the wealth they have squandered, crying and begging, and instigating ignorant children....... I want the old lady to feel sorry for the child and be soft-hearted...... The old lady ignored it with a straight face.
If you dare to make a fuss and can't carry it out, it's too unlikely, the ancestral family law will be on the way, and you will be beaten half to death on the spot....... No matter what you say, go straight out of the house.
"Bastard things, in the past, they didn't make a weapon, relying on Jiguang and their few struggles to support the faΓ§ade, fooling around, living your rich and leisurely uncle's life, the country is in danger now, the country may not be protected at any time, you are still so unreasonable, incompetent and shameless, and only careless and selfish and hedonistic, how can you be tolerated?"
"Do you want to resist the decree and send my Gao family to prison, or even be sentenced to death?"
The old lady scolded hatefully, extremely disappointed, but in fact there was not much grief.
Although the old man is old, he is not confused, he has experienced a lot, and he is very wise, and she knows that her grandson Gao Jiguang is Zhao Gonglian's henchman, and the Gao family is actually a pirate. The children and grandchildren of the Gao family and the members of the house, all the good pirates who are willing to ask for them will be transferred overseas in the future, and there are already the children and grandchildren of the Gao family who are serving as pioneers to build a foundation or go to school to learn the practical knowledge that the pirate country values......
Since she had already decided to ignore the lives and deaths of these people and must abandon them, how could she pity these ruined moths and cry bitterly for the loss of money.
The descendants of the founding nobles have innate advantages, and it is easier to get rich and noble if they are taken care of by the emperor, but they are also walking on thin ice under the cold scrutiny of generations of emperors. The old lady has lived for such a long time, has experienced too many sinister officialdom and the ups and downs of the world, and can be the master of the house with wisdom and identity, and his heart has long been ground to be as hard as a stone.
Her decisiveness and initiative made Bai Shizhong's trip much easier.
Even with Bai Shizhong's officialdom hypocrisy and poison as the prime minister, in the face of the old lady's wisdom and generosity and decisiveness, he couldn't help but praise a few words of sincere admiration.
Seeing the bright festival, the critical moment proves that the true level of survival wisdom of the family leader refers to the performance of people like the old lady at this moment.
