Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Wind Rises in the Southeast (II)

Hearing the edict of pardon from the Son of Heaven, all the officials in the southeast breathed a sigh of relief, if they were to be held accountable, they would not be able to escape death.

But today everyone is in danger, and the county guards of the three states disobeyed the king's orders, and did not listen to the summons of the envoy of the festival to Jinwu Zhao Chongguo to Linzi, which made them worry about their fate again, and the biggest responsibility of the assassin is to let the local county guard obey the king's order, and it has been three days since the county guards of various places still did not come as promised, according to the Han law, this is a major crime to exterminate the three clans, but as the governor of the local assassin history is also to blame.

He Jian and the others immediately look at me, I look at you, and immediately reached a consensus, since the Sanzhou county guard is so uninteresting, it is just to put all the blame on them, so as to get out.

After reaching a consensus, He Jian took the lead in speaking to Zhao Chongguo: "General Zhao, thanks to Your Majesty's grace, pardon us and other crimes of dereliction of duty, the chaos in the southeast began with the annexation of land, the landlords of the southeast scholars colluded with local county officials to annex the land, and the local officials who did not obey the slightest disobedience would be sent to them. The prefectures immediately obeyed the king's order, seized the property of the backbone of Guliang, and found a total of 40,000 hectares of land, 90 million pieces of money, 10,000 catties of gold, 4,000 people enslaved, and 20 million stones of grain for the general to drive!! ”

After listening to He Jian's words, Zhao Chongguo understood in an instant that this was a letter of surrender from the Sanzhou Assassin Mansion to himself, and by the way, he shirked all the responsibilities to the county guards, but only the scholars of the Guliang faction seized such a huge amount of wealth, and it is conceivable how the landlords in the southeast have collected the people's fat and ointment in the past few decades.

Thinking about the joints, Zhao Chongguo did not answer He Jian's words for the first time, but just walked a few steps forward slowly, and the chaos in the southeast was beyond Chang'an's imagination.

Before leaving, Zhao Chongguo himself discussed with the imperial historian Wei Lianye how to solve the problem, but he did not discuss the reason until the early morning, but when he was about to say goodbye, Wei Xiang suddenly asked himself what was the responsibility of holding Jinwu?

"I, Yu Ye, palm the golden tongs, to Yu Very!!" Zhao Chongguo looked at the scenery in front of him and couldn't help but read out loud.

"Extremely Royal!!" Zhao Chongguo continued to mumble in his mouth, yes! Your Majesty sent me here to be very important.

Thinking of Wei Xiang's hint before leaving, Zhao Chongguo quickly turned around and said: "The person who came immediately drafted an order, and immediately ordered the princes and kings of the twenty-two counties of the five states and five countries in the name of the envoy of the festival, and the county guard must arrive at Linzi City within three days to report on his work, and those who violate the order will be punished as a rebellion, and then transfer the soldiers and horses of various counties and countries in Linzi in the name of the Son of Heaven!! ”

"Whoa!" The left and right attachΓ©s immediately replied, and went to handle it quickly.

"Before Your Majesty leaves, let me wait for the migration of the southeast Haoqiang to Pingling, guard the tomb for the first emperor, and enrich Guanzhong casually, and the Sanzhou Thorn History will not return to their respective stations first, and jointly assist the Bingming Mansion to handle the review of the migration list, and at the same time try the illegal affairs of the landlord Haoqiang of Qi County, and the money and property collected will be registered in the register first, and the official will have his own arrangements, and after reporting to Chang'an, he will be distributed in a unified manner after getting the will of the Son of Heaven!!" Zhao Chongguo ordered

"Oh, subordinates obey the general's orders!!" The officials of the three states of assassination bowed.

"Wang Zhongcheng!!" Zhao Chongguo looked at Wang Ji and said.

"General Zhao, please command!!" Wang Ji responded.

"If you can't talk about the order, I will ask Wang Zhongcheng and my colleagues from the Imperial History Yamen to jointly count the number of displaced people in Qi County, and publish the edict of the Son of Heaven in all counties, so that the bandits will automatically unload their armor and surrender, but the general will only give the deadline until the end of this month, if he surrenders, all the blame will not be blamed in the past!! At the same time, he also asked Zhongcheng to issue a proclamation, the general is ready to build the southeast water conservancy, recruit migrant workers, five yuan per person per day, those who have completed three months are exempt from forced labor, and the wasteland opened up will be given priority to resettlement!! Zhao Chongguo said lightly.

"Xia Guan will definitely do his best to ensure that this matter can pass smoothly!!" Wang Ji said firmly

After getting Wang Ji's reply, Zhao Chongguo immediately said loudly: "In the southeast, people's hearts are floating, and the local nobles and scholars have bad intentions, clever tongues, and troubles people's hearts, so they contributed to the southeast rebellion, what is the people's heart, people's hearts are food, people's hearts are stable, and the people have the heart to live in peace, but the five beetles in the southeast are corrupt and pervert the law, abuse of power and dereliction of duty, and waste the painstaking efforts of the Son of Heaven. ”

"The lower officials will live up to the painstaking efforts of the Son of Heaven, the general admonishes, sweep away the small for the Son of Heaven, punish the rebellion, return the people of the southeast to a bright future, and rebuild the southeast land!!" All the officials present saluted aloud.

"I hope that everyone, don't forget today's words, this general is here to thank you for the Son of Heaven and the people of the southeast land!!" After Zhao Chongguo finished speaking, he bowed to the people in front of him and fell to the ground.

"Don't forget today's words, and don't dare to live up to the trust of the Son of Heaven, the general advises!!" Everyone bowed down to the tunnel.

After Zhao Chongguo got up, he immediately said: "Gentlemen, act according to the policy, time is urgent, let's execute it immediately!!! ”

"Wow!!" And after they had bowed, they dispersed, and went their own way.

Zhao Chongguo watched everyone leave, and after they walked away, he turned around and quietly looked at the scenery in the distance.

Bingji slowly walked to Zhao Chongguo's side, also looked at the scenery in the distance and said: "How can the general let go of the officials of the Assassin Mansion so easily, and he is not afraid that the government and the opposition will criticize the general??" ”

Zhao Chongguo continued to look into the distance and said: "I and Tingwei, Wang Zhongcheng brought out a total of more than 100 officials from Chang'an, this point of people in the southeast, no waves can be turned up, I am saying that the wise man must be far-sighted and discerning, not observing, not selfish!!" And my every move in the southeast will be stated to the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, and I don't bother with it!! ”

Zhao Chongguo's words were not cold, Bingji touched a soft nail, but Bingji looked disapproving, and continued to speak: "The Chang'an examination is imminent, even if there is a shortage of manpower, you can send more people to the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister, but the general has the general's consideration, and His Majesty is headed by the general in the southeast, and the lower officials obey the general's orders, but is the general too hasty, and orders the county guards to Linzi to report on their work, and at the same time, they will operate in Linzi, and they are not afraid that the county guards around the country will jump over the wall in a hurry and cause trouble in the southeast again?? ”

Hearing Bingji's words, Zhao Chongguo laughed, as if he had heard a big joke, Bingji's face immediately became ugly, and when he was about to attack, he heard Zhao Chongguo's explanation: "These five beetles in the southeast also dare to rebel, it's really a big joke in the world, Bingtingwei, you can handle the things of Linzi, so you don't have to worry about it!" ”

Wang Ji behind him, seeing Zhao Chongguo, Bingji and the two had a dispute, and immediately stepped forward and said: "General Zhao has been in battle for a long time, so he naturally doesn't take this group of petty traitors to heart, Bing Tingwei, he is just worried about the chaos in the southeast, so he asked if he spoke out, since General Zhao has a good heart, I don't have to ask, but how to screen the heroes of migration?" Please give me a hint!! ”
