Chapter 541: The people are heavy and the king is light
Two days later,
In addition to Meng Tian's department, the rest of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition army all returned, and under the leadership of Liu Wei, all the civil and military officials went to greet the returning Han army soldiers. Not only civil and military officials, but every household in Yanjing City is cheering, and the entire Yanjing City is immersed in joy.
On the second day of the return of the army. Liu Wei summoned the ministers in the Taiji Palace.
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" On the Taiji Palace, Liu Wei sat on the dragon chair and accepted the worship of the ministers.
"Flat!" Liu Wei raised his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The civil and military officials stood up.
"I don't want to say anything, so let's talk about the reward for my deeds now." Liu Wei's first sentence went straight to the topic.
"Where is Yue Fei?"
"Wechen is here!"
"In the first war against Mongolia, you have made outstanding achievements and made indispensable contributions, but you have already become the general of the four expeditions, and I have no intention of setting up a general, a hussar general, a chariot general, and a Wei general, so I will not mention the military position, and I will only reward a thousand gold." Liu Wei said in a deep voice.
"Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!" Yue Fei thanked him and returned to his place.
"Montaigne had to be the one who had the greatest credit in the war with the Mongols, but Montaigne was still outside the fortress, and it was his regret that he could not accept his reward in person, and it was also a regret for us. Feng Mengtian is the general of the expedition to the north, the marquis of Kun Township. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Tian was not there, and neither were the generals under his command, and in the end, Xun Yu came out to receive the reward instead of Meng Tian.
"Where is Wei Qing?"
"Wechen is here!"
"In the Northern Expedition, you also made great contributions, and named you the Marquis of Gen."
"Wechen thank Your Majesty!"
"Where is Gao Su?"
"Wechen is here!"
"In the first battle of the Northern Expedition, you were not afraid of life and death, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and your contribution was indispensable, but because of your unfavorable command, thousands of soldiers died in vain, and the generals died on the battlefield again, and the merits and demerits were compensated." Liu Wei said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing." Gao Changgong said gratefully.
"Where's Huo Ji?"
"Wechen is here!"
"In the battle of the Northern Expedition, Huo Ji made a surprise attack, raided the Mongolian royal court, and made a peerless achievement, and today I named you the general of Zhenbei." Liu Wei deliberately raised his voice a little and said in a solemn voice.
"Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!"
"Where is Ma Chao?"
"Wechen is here!"
"In the first battle of Mongolia, Ma Chao showed his might, defeated the mountain lion camel, except Kublai Khan, and made outstanding achievements.

……
"The reward is also rewarded, and then it is time to punish." Originally, Liu Bian's happy face instantly became gloomy.
"Li Jing, Liu Gan, Lu Wenlong, Wang Yanzhang, where is Zhou Wu?" Liu Wei shouted loudly.
"The minister is here!"
"Erchen is here!"
"The minister is here!"
……
"You are the ones who make the decision without permission, abandon Liaoxi, cause the people to be counted in the hands of foreign countries, and cause my Han territory to be lost to foreign countries, what crime should you be guilty of!" Liu Wei shouted angrily.
"The minister is the main general, and it is also the order of the minister, and the minister is willing to be punished!" Li Jing took the initiative to take responsibility.
"Father, you didn't ...... a few days ago," Liu Yan immediately opened his mouth to prepare for a defense.
He was stopped by Li Jing and Liu Gen only halfway through the conversation.
"Brother Huang, if you have made a mistake, you will admit it to your father." Liu Zhi said to Liu Gan.
"Yes, father, it was the sons who were worried about the safety of their mother's concubine, so they threatened General Li Jing as the prince, and the sons were willing to be punished." Liu Gen directly took responsibility.
"As a prince, Liu Gen used his power for personal gain, regardless of the overall situation, and coerced the chief general as a prince, because he was heavily punished, but he remembered that he had meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, and his merits and demerits were offset, and he was punished for thinking about it behind closed doors in Yanjing for a year, and he was calm." Liu Wei said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for your forgiveness!"
"Li Jing, as the chief general, left his post without permission, and was afraid of the powerful, he should have been severely punished, but he remembered that you had made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, spared your capital crime, and punished him for three years."
"Minister Li Jing thanks Your Majesty for not killing you."
"I drove my own expedition to Mongolia this time, but what I didn't expect was that someone took advantage of my absence to rebel and rebel, this crime is unforgivable. The main offender Liu Yu, who remembered that his father had made great contributions to Sheji, only killed Liu Yu's descendants, wives and concubines, and left no one, his brother was a commoner, and the family property was confiscated, and within three generations of men, ten years of military service was required after the age of fifteen, and within five generations of women, they needed to enter the palace as slaves for ten years, and the rest of the Liu family were removed from all positions, and Bian was a commoner, and all family property was confiscated. Liu Wei said in a deep voice.
"He Yuanqing, He Zongxian is a tiger fighter, He Zongxian is even more to lure the same clan to participate in the rebellion, the crime is unforgivable, He Zongxian is in the same vein, regardless of the old and the young, all are killed, Nanyang I will send someone to solve it, read He Yuanqing has contributed to the court several times, the He clan of Nanyang is not being pursued, but all the men of the He family in Yanjing are imprisoned, and all the women are beheaded after a year, and all the women are in the army." Liu Wei said again.
"Wang Zhen instigated Liu Yu to rebel and rebel, the crime is unforgivable, everything is within my jurisdiction, and Wang Zhen is the nephew of Wang Meng under the command of Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou, I will send someone to explain this matter."
"Bai Wenbao is also an accomplice, the three clans! Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Qin Wen, Li Ying and other people knew about it and did not report it, colluded with the rebel party, and all of them were beheaded for public display, and their wives and concubines and children were all slaves and maids. Three days later, all the people who should be beheaded were beheaded, and the matter was handed over to Wang Zhong to deal with. Liu Wei's words were very simple and straightforward, kill everyone who should be killed.
"Obey the order!"
"In addition, from today onwards, the Hidden Dragon Guard will be established, and Wang Zhong will be the commander of the Hidden Dragon Guard, and the position will be compared to Jiuqing, and Li Yuanfang will be the deputy commander of the Hidden Dragon. The hidden dragon guard assists the armies to listen to the enemy situation in various places, the hidden dragon guard assists the yamen of the various provinces to investigate the situation of the case, the hidden dragon guard assists the officials of the various provinces to investigate the livelihood of the people in various places, and the profession of the hidden dragon guard is to investigate the affairs of the world and assist officials at all levels of the imperial court. Liu Wei finally put the hidden dragon guard on the bright side.
"Wait for you to understand!"
"Retreat!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
……
"Ding!" The system detects that Liaoxi County under the host's command is occupied, and after deducting 140 points from the host, the host currently has 1734 summon points.
Three days later, the day of the execution came as scheduled, Liu Wei did not go, and he did not want to go, but later Liu Wei learned from others that the executioners cut off their heads for an hour, and the knives were blunted with many handles, and more than 100 people died on the execution ground, which can be said to be a river of blood.
"Your Majesty, I ask to see you on behalf of the king!" Liu Wei's voice came from outside the imperial study.
"Bring in the king!" Liu Wei put down the pen in his hand and got up to reply.
"Crunch!"
The moment the door opened, Liu Wei and Liu Yu saw each other.
"Liu Yu, the father of sinners, greets Your Majesty!" The moment he saw Liu Bian, Liu Yu was about to kneel down and salute Liu Bian.
"Excuse me!" Before Liu Yu knelt down, Liu Wei stopped Liu Yu.
"Your Majesty is a king, the people are ministers, and it is natural for ministers to salute you, so why should Your Majesty stop you." Liu Yu insisted on kneeling.
"Since the old man says that he is the people, then he is not a minister, the Han governs the country with filial piety, the old man is the elder, how can there be a reason for the elders to salute, the Han Dynasty governs the country with Confucianism, and Confucianism says that the people are important, and the monarch is light." Liu Wei persuaded Liu Yu with crooked reasoning and ingenuity.
"Your Majesty, Liu Yu finally understands why Your Majesty has gained such a powerful strength in such a short period of time." Liu Yu sighed.
"Uncle has won the prize!" Liu Wei replied modestly.
"After Liu Yu saw His Majesty, he found that Liu Yu should not come, Your Majesty will not say that he will be comparable to Emperor Qin and Han Wu in the future, but maybe he will be comparable to Emperor Guangwu, and he will return the Han Dynasty to a peaceful and prosperous world, and keep my Liu family." Liu Wei sighed.
"Liu Wei has been moving towards this path." Liu Wei said solemnly.
"No wonder Your Majesty, no wonder Your Majesty, you can only blame Liu Yu for not teaching a good son." Liu Yu said reproachfully.
"I don't care if my uncle holds a grudge against me, but I still hope that my uncle can live safely until I reorganize the Han River and Mountain." Liu Wei said expectantly.
"I hope I can wait until that time!"
