Chapter 187: The New Wind in Jiangnan (4)
As mentioned earlier, it is not easy to be able to leave a name in history during the Three Kingdoms era, especially when all kinds of orders are stable. Therefore, the ministers of Soochow actually know the truth of this matter very well in their hearts.
Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu are indeed in arrears of IQ, but they have also been mixed in the central government for so many years. Know what a sin it is to conspire to change the emperor at this time! Even if they are not intelligent enough to see the situation clearly, you have to pay attention to one thing: these two stupid pigs are very timid! Dissatisfied with the emperor, the family muttered that this is definitely there. But the conspiracy was abolished? How dare they do such a thing?
A few letters, although the handwriting is all right. But everyone knows that the letterwriting of this era can be forged. Now, is it true that we Jiangdong people are lonely and unheard, and we don't know that your Zhonghui's calligraphy is a family origin, is it a great calligrapher? Aren't these letters forged by you? As an outsider who has no foothold in Soochow and is completely dependent on the emperor, you definitely have the motivation to do so!
It's a pity, although that's what the truth is. But Pan Mi decided to cooperate with Zhong Hui and treat this matter as a big case!
Because, Zhong Hui's behavior is actually the embodiment of the emperor's will. And the current emperor is not easy to mess with at first glance. There's no need to offend the emperor for those two idiots who don't like the eyes for a long time.
In the middle of the night on the fifth day of the ninth month of the year 264, Zhongshu Ling He Shao received a large number of letters from unknown people. The content of the letter is that Prime Minister Pu Yangxing, hussar general Zhang Bu and Empress Dowager Zhu conspired to depose the emperor.
At the court meeting on the 10th day of September, the court commander Pan Mi publicly raised the matter at the court meeting. Sun Hao instructed on the spot: Investigate thoroughly! Investigate it thoroughly! In order to avoid suspicion, the prime minister and the hussar general, you should not leave the palace for the time being.
On September 11, Pan Mi reported: Your Majesty, a large number of letters between the two and the Empress Dowager Zhu were found in the mansions of the prime minister and the hussar general, all of which were plotting to abolish the throne of His Majesty and welcome the return of the son of the first emperor. Check the handwriting, exactly matched. Sun Hao instructed: Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu were sent to prison for their crimes.
On September 12, a large number of courtiers wrote to them. Impeachment of Pu Yangxing, Zhang Bu's corruption and perversion of the law, selling official positions, indiscriminate command and tossing, administrative inaction, and so on (these are true). Sun Hao was furious and ordered Ting Wei to determine the guilt of the two.
On September 15th, it was another ** court meeting.
Pan Mi first went out to report on the investigation some time ago: "Your Majesty, the two thieves Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu, the conspiracy is abolished, and the evidence is conclusive. According to the law of my Great Wu, these two should destroy the three tribes! ”
"Well, then Ting Wei, how should these two people be counted as embezzlement and bribery, and selling official positions?"
"Back to Your Majesty, you should raid your home!"
"Good. I also want to ask Tingwei what should be done with the other accomplices in this case? ”
The so-called other accomplices, of course, refer to the underage sons of Empress Dowager Zhu and Sun Xiu. Pan Mi was stunned when he heard this: Boss, your heart is too dark, right? This is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!
It's a pity, who let you be born in the emperor's family? Heaven is ruthless! Back then, Sun Quan killed Sun Ba, Sun Jun killed Sun He, Sun Xiu killed Sun Liang, and now it's finally time for Sun Hao to kill Sun Xiu's son?
"Uh, Your Majesty. Tingwei has no jurisdiction over this matter, and should ask Zongzheng. "—Your Majesty, these are your family, so we don't care about being courtiers. Ask your Sun family's chief butler.
The sect of Eastern Wu at this time was Sun Yi. This person's father is Sun Shao, a famous general of Eastern Wu. Strictly speaking, Sun Shao's family was originally surnamed Yu, because when Sun Ce crossed the river that year, a young hero named Yu He in the family had a very good appetite for Sun Ce, so he gave him the surname Sun. Therefore, strictly speaking, this family has no blood relationship with the Sun royal family.
As far as Sun Yi is concerned, this person doesn't have much talent. There are two main reasons why he can achieve Zongzheng's position: he is old and has a high seniority.
So when Pan Mi kicked the ball to him, he panicked all of a sudden, and under Sun Hao's majestic gaze, the old man opened his mouth indiscriminately: "The clan rebelled, and it should be Dabi (beheaded)!" ”
Well, that's what you want.
"Hey~~~" After a long sigh, Sun Hao spoke: "Since I ascended the throne, I have been paying attention to the dynamics of Xishu Guan Zifeng. One thing I think he did a good job of dealing with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, only raiding homes and not killing people. Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu were important ministers of the first emperor. In the past, he also made a lot of contributions to the first emperor. In this way, these two people raided their homes, and the whole family was sent to Guangzhou. ”
"Your Majesty is merciful, and the blessing of Great Wu is great."
"As for the widow of the first emperor and my brothers...... Some of my brothers are still young, so I don't think they were involved. Exoneration, reserved by the king. And Empress Dowager Zhu, according to Zongzheng's meaning, gave a horse of white silk and gave death! ”
Your Majesty, what do I mean? Hey, this young emperor is making so fast progress. A month ago, I was still a stunned young man who only knew how to rush and work hard. Now it's a set of tricks to play. Hey, without the protection of the Empress Dowager Zhu, the sons of the first emperor will all die violently sooner or later. As for the two fools, Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu, if you are smart, you should commit suicide quickly on the way, otherwise you really think you can escape the fate of the Yi three clans?
In October 264, Sun Xiu's wife, Empress Dowager Zhu, was given to die.
In November, it was revealed that Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu in Guangzhou were plotting rebellion, and Sun Hao sent people to exterminate both of them.
In December, Sun Xiu's sons died violently......
Therefore, although Sun Yi has no ability. But after all, people's experience is there. The Soochow royal family is a family that is extremely cold-blooded to its relatives. People don't know how much they have seen when the bloody storm is stormy, and in general, the follow-up events are basically not much different from his speculation.
The reason why it is said that there is not much difference, it is still a little different. Because, strictly speaking, Zhang Bu was not completely wiped out by the three clans.
His two daughters are very beautiful. After being known by Sun Hao, he was spared death and included in the harem as a concubine. (In ancient times, this kind of murder of fathers and acceptance of them as wives and concubines.) Not common, but not uncommon. Japan's famous Warring States general Shingen Takeda did just that. )
Wan Yu has an opinion on this matter.
"Shi Ji, why are you stopping me from admonishing Your Majesty? Zhang Bu is guilty and deserves to be punished. But His Majesty included his two daughters in the harem. Wouldn't this give the world the impression that His Majesty was lustful and shameless? ”
"Brother Wenbin. Hui spent some time in Xishu last year. There is a popular study of Guanxun. Among them, Guan Zhong's attitude towards Qi Huangong, I think it is very worthy of our subordinates to learn. ”
"Well, I have practiced the Book of Changes in the past dynasties, and I am not very familiar with the Guanzi, so I also asked Shiji to teach me."
"Don't dare, my Yingchuan Zhong family studied "Lao Tzu", and I don't know much about "Guanzi". However, there is such a story in "Guanzi": In the past, Qi Huan asked Guan Zi, saying that widows are lustful, like drinking, and like food and clothes. Do these have any effect on hegemony? The tube said that it had no effect at all. As a monarch, just put the right person in the right position. Other times, the monarch should have his own entertainment life. Otherwise, all day long, all working and being a moral model, how tiring is that? Who wants to be a monarch? So, Brother Wen Bin, let's not control Your Majesty too closely. As long as His Majesty's main energy is still on the revitalization of Dawu, we should not have seen other things a little out of line. In this way, it is good for Your Majesty, and it is good for you and me. ”
"I see. Shi Ji is talented, Yu is not as good as it. In the future, I will ask Shiji Duoduo for advice. ”
"Don't dare, Brother Wen Bin. I've finally finished those two silverfish, and now it's time to make a big difference. We have to be in this together. ”
"As it should be!"
In 265 AD, Sun Hao issued a series of new personnel appointments:
Jingzhou Mu Lu Kai, moved to the left prime minister (Eastern Wu to the left as the respect. Prime Minister Zuo is the Prime Minister)
Scattered cavalry often serves Wan Yu, and moves to the right prime minister.
Shang Shufu shoots the bell and moves the Shang Shu Order.
Zuo Da Sima Shiji, is the Jingzhou Mu (commander of the Jingzhou Corps).
The right big Sima Ding Feng, stationed in Jiehuainan (commander of the Yangzhou Corps).
Tao Huang, the son of the former Jiaozhou Thorn Stauji, served as the Taishou of Cangwu and the general of Pingnan, responsible for quelling the Jiaozhou rebellion that had lasted for many years.
After these officials were in place, Sun Hao issued a decree:
First, tax cuts. In addition to the original 15 tax 1, all the 20 yuan per mu of land will be reduced. Second, from the first year of Manna (265 years), the whole country will check the household tax and hidden population!
Since Sun Quan's death, Soochow has been languishing and sleeping for many years. Finally, an extremely powerful young monarch was ushered in. The atmosphere of the whole country of Soochow has changed!
