Chapter 1915: The Battle of Shouchun (196)
"That year, there was a torrential rain in Jizhou, the Yellow River flooded that year, hundreds of thousands of households along the coast were flooded, and tens of thousands of people died.
In the face of the disaster, the students could no longer tolerate those miserable refugees, and they began to pass on the truth through their influence in Luoyang, spreading it all over the streets and alleys of Luoyang, and sure enough, the eunuch party could no longer hide the news of the Yellow River flood, and soon reached the ears of the Son of Heaven, who immediately issued an order to help the victims, and at the same time sent General Zhu Mu to Jizhou to serve as the assassin, because by this time, the Son of Heaven also understood that there was a situation of deception, and there must be a hidden situation in Jizhou, So he asked Zhu Mu to find out the real reason for the bursting of the Yellow River, and to see if there was any dereliction of duty here!
Although Zhu Mu was not a scribe, but the official was in charge of the military division because of the order of Liang Ji, because he was in charge of the army, after he arrived in Jizhou, he naturally had to deal with the floods in Jizhou by thunderous means, the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, since the Son of Heaven personally ordered the general, he must have an explanation, and it is bound to be investigated to the end, as for the power struggle above the temple has never been his battlefield.
So when he arrived in Jizhou, while arranging disaster relief, while thoroughly investigating the cause of the flood, after all, the Hefang embankment has to be renovated every year, and the flood disaster occurs, it costs a lot, but in the end, the embankment that cost countless national funds collapsed because of a heavy rain, the people couldn't understand it, the students couldn't figure it out, and even he and the Son of Heaven were puzzled.
This investigation is really incredible, from top to bottom, two assassins, one county guard, more than ten county commanders, and hundreds of subordinate officials and officials, large and small, are all involved in this biggest corruption case of the Lingdi Dynasty.
The people involved in the case, who smelled the danger, almost ran away on the day Zhu Mu arrived in Jizhou, and the county order alone ran five, as for the other small officials, it was even more chaotic, and even the disaster relief became chaotic for a while, he had to temporarily recruit clerks to be responsible for disaster relief, and at the same time sent people to arrest them, and none of the people who ran away but were involved in them were not spared, and those who ran away began to be wanted, and the prison in Yecheng was overcrowded for a while.
Zhu Mu is a martial artist, and he has always followed a principle that Ci is not in charge of the army, if he is replaced by a civilian official, at most he will grasp the big and let go of the small, the upper can be poorer, and the lower can be explained, and he will not expand the involvement, but in the face of the suffering of hundreds of thousands of affected people, in the face of tens of thousands of missing and drowned people, and countless broken families, Zhu Mu will raise the butcher knife in his hand no matter how great the resistance is this time.
Of course, he won't be uninterrogated, and the perfect Han law doesn't allow him to do this, he must clarify the responsibility, kill the most heinous people directly, and ask the next level of the autumn queen to behead, anyway, this time he will definitely not show mercy, but because there are too many people involved in the case, it is difficult to certify responsibility, so he has not finally pronounced the verdict.
Just when he planned to avenge the people, but he only raised the butcher's knife and did not trigger it, the first two Jizhou assassins were so frightened that they immediately passed the book from Luoyang to Jizhou after learning of Zhu Mu's actions in Jizhou, and they either explicitly or secretly hoped that he would not expand the implication, that is, it would be enough to investigate so far, and there was no need to continue the investigation, otherwise it would definitely cause turmoil in Jizhou.
The two former assassins panicked and threatened to lure them, and the other three eunuchs who were involved in building the embankment were also afraid, these three people's ancestral homes were from Jizhou, and by taking power in the palace, they secretly made profits for their families with the first two assassins, and compared to the two assassins who did not want to expand the scope of the investigation, these three eunuchs were much more polite, although they were close to Zhu Mutao, but to put it bluntly, they still hoped to take care of their clan power, not to involve them in this flood, and release them from prison as soon as possible.
Seeing these five letters of worship before and after, Zhu Mu sneered, not only did not give the five of them a reply, but even directly returned these prayer posts, Zhu Mu was originally a person who was upright and did not rub sand in his eyes, plus the ancestor was Shangshu Ling Zhu Hui, and the prosperity of the Zhu family in the Nanyang clan was also the best, so he had the confidence to refuse these people to make it clear, not to mention that when he went to Jizhou, he was still valued by the Son of Heaven, so he naturally had to follow the instructions of the Son of Heaven to find out the problems in Jizhou clearly, So he was not afraid of the eunuchs stumbling on him.
But Zhu Mu forgot a little bit of everything, Emperor Heng was convinced of the eunuchs because of the help of the traitor Liang Ji, and this is also because of a characteristic of the Han Dynasty, that is, when the clan relatives are powerful, the Son of Heaven will use the eunuchs, and when the eunuchs are powerful, the Son of Heaven will eradicate them with the help of relatives and clans, so this balance must not be broken, but now Zhu Mu is doing something more than attacking the clan and the eunuchs at the same time, which makes him unable to get more support above the temple.
In the heart of the Son of Heaven, he wants to investigate the flood in Jizhou, but it is by no means Zhu Mu's investigation method, this is not the original intention of the Son of Heaven at all, after all, a big case involving so many people, the so-called law does not blame the public, only the first evil, but Zhu Mu's reckless decision is bound to make the Son of Heaven retreat, because this is the emperor's mental technique, the Son of Heaven will not only punish them again, but will also forgive them to achieve the effect of inviting people's hearts.
But the order of the Son of Heaven has not yet arrived, Zhu Mu finally dropped the butcher's knife, of course, there are more people who commit suicide because of fear, but whether they are executed or killed, Zhu Mu only said one sentence about this, that is, 'self-isolation from the emperor, self-isolation from the court', so that he originally wanted to kill people and became the Son of Heaven behind him to kill, but at this time, another thing happened that became the flashpoint of everything, that is, Zhao Zhong's father.
Zhao Zhong's father was not involved, but he happened to die during the rainstorm in Jizhou, birth, old age, sickness and death were the most normal things, but the Zhao family actually exceeded the rules in front of Zhu Mu, who had never rubbed sand in his eyes, and dared to wear jade clothes to enter the funeral.
This is a felony of transgression!
According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, only the royal relatives can enjoy this honor after death, but the Zhao family dares to be so bold, this is not at all to put him, the Jizhou assassin history and the royal family, the family and the eunuch party have been attacking each other, and they can't wait for each other to die without a place to be buried, no matter what angle it is, Zhu Mu has no possibility of being merciful, so the angry Zhu Mu personally did it to the Zhao family, for which he dug Zhao Zhong's father out of the grave and showed the corpse to the public.
And since Zhu Mu has caught the handle of the eunuch party, he naturally refuses to give up, if it is only aimed at Zhao Zhong's dead father, it will not make any sense at all, his real purpose is the entire Zhao Zhong family, as well as Zhao Zhong in the palace, so the Zhao Zhong family is unlucky.
But if you want to attack the Zhao Zhong family, you naturally have to find an excuse to do it, and Zhu Mu's excuse is naturally because it is impossible for Zhao Zhong and his father to wear jade clothes before his death, and it must be Zhao Zhong's family who gave him a jade dress to be buried, so he used such an excuse and directly ordered the arrest of all Zhao Zhong's family members, and even the slaves were not spared.
Originally, the limelight above the temple has turned, and every day the relatives of the clan are on the table to participate in Zhu Mu, and with Zhu Mu's move on Zhao Zhong, Zhao Zhong, who has been watching coldly, finally couldn't hold back his shot, but at this time, Zhu Mu's performance table also arrived, he ruthlessly participated in Zhao Zhong's book, and made Zhao Zhong's approval of his father wearing a jade robe into the funeral into an iron case, hoping that the Son of Heaven would arrest Zhao Zhong immediately.
At this time, it depends on who the Son of Heaven is more towards, if the Son of Heaven agrees to Zhu Mu at this time, then Zhao Zhong will definitely die, on the contrary, if the Son of Heaven favors Zhao Zhong, then the Son of Heaven, who is already dissatisfied with Zhu Mu's actions in Jizhou, will naturally take advantage of this matter to recruit him back.
Zhao Zhong knelt in front of Emperor Heng in fear, watching the Son of Heaven angrily throw the book on his face, he was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, but in the current chaos in Jizhou, Emperor Huan stretched out a finger after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Zhong couldn't guess the mind of the Son of Heaven, but he knew that this was the finger of the emperor, and the Son of Heaven fell to himself without hesitation, what does this mean?
Zhao Zhong's mind was activated, and Emperor Huan would not have succeeded if he hadn't used the power of these eunuchs to eradicate Liang Ji, so he even named Zhao Zhong as the marquis of the capital, so the Son of Heaven is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, if there is no them, then there will be no today, and he may have been killed by Liang Ji like Emperor Qian, so in this matter, he wants to appease Jizhou, and he wants to invite the hearts of hundreds of officials in Jizhou, and at the same time, in the palace, he wants to let these eunuchs know that as long as they do their best, Then he will protect you, but if you have two hearts, then he will definitely not be soft, without his own protection, these clans can easily execute you and the family behind you!
So, when the people of Jizhou and the students of Taixue chanted the sky, the people of the world who were looking forward to Zhao Zhong's family being escorted to Beijing and executed with Zhao Zhong were finally waiting for the prisoner car was not Zhao Zhong's family, but Shi Zhumu, who had just arrived in Jizhou and calmed down the flood in less than two months.
The people who committed the crime of trespassing were safe and sound, but the relief of the victims, the pacification of the floods, and the people who opposed the trespassers were imprisoned, and Emperor Huan broke the long-standing rules of dynastic etiquette in the Eastern Han Dynasty in this torrential summer, but the real turmoil is fermenting.
The people of the world did not agree, the scholars of Taixue did not agree, those upright court officials and Confucians shouted wronged, the people of Jizhou cried and shouted to see off their beloved Qingtian Thorn History, the escorted officers and soldiers could not stop it, they sent each other all the way, even if Zhu Mu wore a heavy flail in the prisoner car, it also made his emotions become extremely excited, he shouted with tears to let the people go back, but there was no meaning, the people just felt that the assassin was wronged, was framed by the eunuchs, they wanted to accompany the assassin into Beijing, and they wanted to go to the foot of the imperial city to complain about the assassin history.
Many people fell on both sides of the road because of the crowding, and many people shouted Assassin Shi rest assured, even if we climb, we have to climb to Luoyang, Zhu Mu was moved, and shed tears, he is not afraid of death, but at this moment he is more afraid of death than anyone else.
Seeing that the people were gathering more and more, the forbidden army escorting Zhu Mu became worried, and opened the flail and prisoner cart for him, hoping that after he dealt with this matter, he would go on the road again, and they were not afraid of Zhu Mu running, because even they knew that Zhu Mu was wronged, as long as he returned to Luoyang, he would definitely be able to be rehabilitated, on the contrary, if Zhu Mu really took advantage of this to escape, it would not only be him but also the Nanyang Zhu family behind him, and it would be completely over.
Zhu Mu got out of the prisoner car, stood in front of the people, watched the people kneel down one after another, he also knelt in front of the people in excitement, and said that the man had gold under his knees, but at this moment, what could this kneeling be?
The 10,000 people in Jizhou sent each other to show the weight of Zhu Mu in the hearts of the people and how much he was loved by the people, but at the same time, in Beijing, in Luoyang, in Taixue, Liu Tao, who has been the leader of Taixue students for a long time, initiated a Qing discussion that was destined to be recorded in history.
In the past, his main job every day was to lead tens of thousands of Taixue students to "clear the discussion", such a large-scale debate tournament has been inherited for many years, so that almost every student of Taixue is like a river, and they can quickly quote scriptures and project the scriptures onto the current political and state affairs, or worry about it, or grieve for it. Devoted to the political rumors of a dynasty, he dedicates his political views and ideas to the rumors of the political circles.
But at this time, no one was arguing about it anymore, they were excited, and began to shout grievances for Zhu Mu, but is it meaningful to shout grievances, no, after a few days of hard work, Liu Tao clearly felt that their strength was insignificant, and sitting and talking about it may just be regarded as a new academic exchange by those in power, but such a large-scale protest is absolutely not allowed, and the Son of Heaven will not compromise because of their protest, so they want to express their hearts, and there is no point in continuing to discuss like this, We have to really take action, but how do we do it?
Finally, I found inspiration in the matter of seeing off the people of Jizhou, and the Taixue students also spontaneously organized, and an ancient and the largest student tide of the Han Dynasty broke out.
