Chapter 668: Disguised Immigration
The episode of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" was soon revealed with the end of the song, and everyone present had different thoughts, but no one mentioned this matter again, just sent Cai Yong into Luoyang City, and his thoughts were different along the way.
When walking with Ma Riyan on the road, Fu Quan specially observed his expression, and when he saw that Ma Riyan seemed to be a little confused, he was at ease, so that this old guy could pay more attention to other places, so as not to bring his scheduled father-in-law.
In fact, Fu Quan didn't want to do this at all, and the reason why he was so brazen when Cai Yong came later was just to divert everyone's attention.
After all, there are a lot of officialdom like Ma Riyan who have been in the court for many years, and it is difficult to ensure that no one else can see Fuquan's thoughts, so it is necessary to divert the attention of others.
Now, Fu Quan is using the fact that he is interested in Cai Yan to make others mistakenly think that he recommended Cai Yong as a lieutenant because he wanted to get Cai Yan.
Anyway, whether other people believe it or not, if they want to figure out the mystery of this, it will obviously take some time, and this time will be enough for Fu Quan's next actions.
The reception banquet was held in the Hussar General's Mansion in Fuquan, Fuquan used this to show his importance to Cai Yong, and the people who could come to participate were all people with heads and faces inside and outside the Luoyang Imperial Hall.
Of course, since the banquet is held in the mansion, it naturally has the nature of a private banquet, so in addition to the men's banquet held in the front yard, the backyard also has the female relatives of Fuquan Mansion as the host to receive other female relatives who come here, which is naturally prepared in consideration of the female relatives of Cai Yong's family.
Ten days ago, dozens of concubines and several daughters of Fuquan who were originally in Liangzhou also came to Beijing, and together with other officials and families who entered Beijing as officials, Ma Teng's younger brother and Ma Ju, who was now recommended by Fuquan as the general of Huben, led a group of elite soldiers from Liangzhou and escorted them into Luoyang City.
With Fuquan's "special order", as well as the matter of Fuquan forcing Cai Yan to play "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" heard from the domestic servant, the concubines such as Yao'er, Bian Ying, and Du Bai naturally welcomed the female relatives of the Cai Yong family, who were mainly received today.
Among them, they especially treat Cai Yan, it can be said that they are very attentive, all the women compete to toast with him, and some people who don't think it's a big deal, directly call Cai Yan "sister", which really makes this backyard banquet very lively for a while, and extremely embarrassing for a while.
However, this scene made all the other officials and daughters present realize, and it seems that the rumors outside Luoyang City today are true, Cai Yong can ascend to the position of the third duke, in addition to his reputation and qualifications, that is, he is the daughter who makes the hussar general reluctant to give up. It seems that they have to make friends with Cai Yan as soon as possible, and after they go home, they have to let their men get closer to Cai Yong, a guy who has been in the official career for many years.
The backyard is like this, not to mention the front yard, as the protagonist of the reception banquet, Cai Yong is a person who can drink, and Fuquan seems to be in a very good mood today, and he has repeatedly informed the congregation that he drank bitterly, and the people who participated in the banquet naturally did not dare to hide it, and they only wanted to get drunk before they would stop.
Of course, since Fu Quan asked the woman in the backyard to pay so much attention to Cai Yan, naturally he had to make a look in the front yard, so after the banquet, Fu Quan pretended to be drunk and kept chanting some words of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", and even called Cai Yanqin's superb skills, but it was a pity that today's banquet should not make her come to the front yard to continue to play Yunyun, and the mantra continued after drinking.
Everyone couldn't persuade them, but in their hearts, they were even more sure that Fu Quan recommended Cai Yong as the third duke, and it was indeed because Cai Yong had a daughter who made Fu Quan worry about him.
Three days later, the court meeting, in the Chongde Palace, hundreds of officials gathered, the little emperor Liu Chong first specially met with the Taiwei Cai Yong, and then under the traction of the Empress Dowager Song's threading needle, on the grounds that Fu Wan, Cai Yong, Ma Riyan, and Yang Biao were all knowledgeable, the edict ordered four people to speak in the Huaguang Palace, and took turns to teach Liu Chong, the son of heaven.
At the same time, Fu Quan felt that it was reasonable, and he couldn't help but look at the Empress Dowager Song a few times, secretly thinking that he still underestimated the deposed Han Empress in real history.
It seems that the Empress Dowager Song was deposed in history, in addition to Liu Hong's own reasons, there may also be reasons why her mother family is weak and cannot suppress the He family!
And the reason why the Empress Dowager Song's methods are powerful is that he used the title of a mere emperor to give a reassurance to the three major forces in Luoyang City, the Langya Fu clan, the Hongnong Yang clan, and the Youfufeng Ma clan, as long as they will not betray the emperor because of other things, then their lives and even their families will be prosperous.
And Cai Yong was involved in it, but it happened that he was added by the Empress Dowager Song because of his position in the position of the third duke. I remember that when I recommended the candidate for Taiwei, the Empress Dowager Song was directly interested in Yang Biao, in the final analysis, Hongnong Yang is also a first-class valve like today, and in addition to getting close to the party, he is only ambiguous with the He family, but in the end, he did not really pay the strength to help He Jin, which is naturally worthy of the Empress Dowager Song.
As for what the emperor represents. Think about it, teach the Son of Heaven and become an emperor, don't say what kind of glory this is, just say that in the future, unless you are suspected of the crime of rebellion, but as long as the Son of Heaven Liu Chongshang is in the court for a day, he can hate you and be angry with you and not let you be an official, but he will never dare to harm you, and even if you commit a petty crime, you have to take the initiative to get rid of you.
The reason is naturally inseparable from the word "filial piety", the Han Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and as the emperor's teacher, there is no doubt that the elder is the emperor, unless the emperor wants to be scolded by others, otherwise, he will never dare to embarrass his teacher for trivial things.
After the emperor's affair passed, Fu Quan began to play his final conclusion on Yuan Shao's rebellion case, and it was obvious that the rebellion case such as Yuan Shu, He Hao, Liu Biao, Chun Yuqiong and others were all convicted by Fu Quan as rebellious ministers and beheaded to show the public, but Liu Biao and other Han clan relatives were given death because they could not bear to humiliate the face of Liu Han's royal family.
Many party members who had been dormant and had not plotted chaos thought that some of them were not deeply involved in the matter, and their crimes were not as good as capital crimes, and they also found reasons to say that the Han Dynasty stipulated that criminals such as "rebellion" and "rebellion" were immediately executed, and now Liu Biao and they had lived for so long, and they should not be ordered to be executed, and pleaded with the little emperor and the Empress Dowager Song.
It's just that the little emperor is now obedient to his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Song, and the Empress Dowager Song hates the party members very much, not to mention that many of them follow Yuan Shao to plot chaos, that is, in the past, the party people wholeheartedly helped He Jin and his nephew Liu Wei to seize the position of the Son of Heaven?
Now that the Empress Dowager Song is in power, how can she bypass her former enemies in the face of them? directly allowed Fu Quan to play one by one, and even in her heart, she felt that giving death to Liu Biao and the others was cheaper for them, if it weren't for the signboard of their Han clan relatives, the Empress Dowager Song would definitely not just give death. Let them be killed by the public in the midst of the people's insults, and publicize their crimes of rebellion to the world, this is what the Empress Dowager Song wants to see the most.
As for those beggars, what kind of nonsense should be executed immediately for rebellion, but the Empress Dowager Song despised this broken reason, when Fuquan entered Beijing and quelled the rebellion of Yuan Shao and his party, how could there be so many manpower and time to behead them one by one? Don't they know why?
With the death of the Empress Dowager Song's order, those pleading people saw that the situation was not right, so they could only retreat and dare not say anything more about pleading.
After that, with the verdict of the party traitor, it is natural to punish the relatives and families of the rebels, and their clan relatives and the relatives of the traitors and thieves below are all beheaded, regardless of the age or young, leaving no one alive.
And his family, except for the Yuan family and the family surnamed Liu in Runan, who were not relocated, the other party members and family members who participated in the rebellion, regardless of their close relatives and distant branches, were all exiled by the imperial court to the Changshi Department of Saibei or Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye and other places in the border counties of Liangzhou.
Let those clansmen surnamed Liu not migrate, naturally because the surname of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is Liu, and the treatment of the clansmen will naturally be open, otherwise, if those clans of the Liu Han royal family are involved, isn't it even the Son of Heaven to be involved?
As for the Runan Yuan family, it was not yet time to uproot it, after all, except for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's brothers, and a few other close and distant relatives of the Yuan family who were in Luoyang at the time, most of the Yuan family members were not among them. Moreover, Yuan Shame, the current head of the Yuan family, has a special status, and there are many former officials of the Yuan family in the world, so Fu Quan doesn't want to do something to Yuan Shame without cleaning up these people one by one.
Otherwise, if Yuan is ashamed to die, those Yuan protégés and former officials will begin to endanger themselves, and at this time, a few more close and distant relatives of the Yuan clan in Runan will ascend and shout, saying that there will be a "princes to ask for an ambush", Fuquan is not stupid, and it will definitely not give the population a real chaos.
Therefore, he deliberately left the lives of Yuan Shu and other Runan Yuan clansmen, and only targeted Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other Yuan clansmen who participated in the rebellion, just to grind the Runan Yuan clan to death little by little. Moreover, once those Yuan clan's descendants and relatives are all dead, Fu Quan knows that this alone will also greatly damage the vitality of the Runan Yuan family, and in the future, when he will remove and replace all the protégés and former officials of the Runan Yuan clan in the local area, isn't it easy to rectify the Yuan family?
Of course, Fuquan's punishment is also incomprehensible, that is, according to the Han family's treatment of the execution of rebellious criminals, those criminal ministers' wives and relatives are basically going to be exterminated, but Fuquan actually released their lives and only exiled them to the border, which is really incomprehensible to some courtiers.
Soon, a man who has been maintaining neutrality in the court came out to protest against this matter: "Since ancient times, the big cases of rebellion, the thieves who committed the crimes, all exterminated their clans, and now the crimes of the hussars are too light, I hope that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will think twice, and don't let the traitor family have the opportunity to rebel again!" ”
Many people agreed with this statement, but they did not dare to make a statement for one reason or another, after all, even if the vitality of the party members was greatly damaged, their remaining power should not be underestimated. Moreover, even those party members who are involved in the punishment of crimes, although their own families are ruined, they still have in-laws families, and if those in-laws who have a good relationship with them blame them for many things and cause their in-laws and heirs to perish, it will also be a disaster.
Fortunately, there are still people who come out and say things that they don't want to say, but the future of the other party makes many people worried.
For someone to stop the edict, the Empress Dowager Song had already told Fuquan that the content of the edict was a reminder and had been prepared, so she quickly replied: "Qing's meaning, lonely and clear, but the Son of Heaven is young, and he has only been on the throne for a few months. ”
Empress Dowager Song's words completely blocked Na Yilang, after all, the emperor had just ascended the throne, if he took office because of this matter, he would make more killings, resulting in a bad reputation, it was indeed a big deal, and he could only retreat at the moment.
Seeing this, Fu Quan hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, forgive the relatives of the guilty ministers, the luck of the Han!" ”
A little sycophant was filmed like this, and soon, other officials and ministers who reacted also joined in.
Suddenly, in the entire Chongde Palace, there was a group of voices singing praises of virtue, only the little emperor Liu Chong listened to it, and his face was like a flower blooming, although he was still young, it didn't mean that he couldn't understand these people praising himself, and the child's heart also loved others to praise himself.
After that, Liu Dai, the waiter, suddenly took advantage of this time to come out and said: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the wife of the traitor Yuan Shao is a member of the courtiers, the daughter of the Han clan, and I don't want to marry a non-person. ”
This is very timely, the little emperor is still excited, and the Empress Dowager Song has just exempted the other party members surnamed Liu who are involved in rebellion, so naturally she will not care too much about such a clan girl, even if she is Yuan Shao's wife.
Seeing that no one objected to letting the families of those criminals be exiled to the borderlands, Fu Quan was also relieved in his heart, the reason why he didn't attack those people was naturally to prepare for immigration to the borderlands, and compared with constantly calling on the people of the Central Plains to immigrate to the borderlands and giving them various preferential treatments to attract them to immigrate, the families who migrated to these places to the border were the most labor-saving and effective means of immigration.
After all, even if those families were greatly injured because of the rebellion, their power in the local area was still there, and once they were forced to move to the borderlands, they would naturally have to be arranged in the borderlands for the survival of their families.
In this case, their local domestic servants and guests, as well as some in-laws who depend on them, have to be taken to the frontier land, and they have to settle fields in the frontier land to ensure that the family can prosper again, and they also have to gather many people, so that with their local reputation, they can naturally call many people to the frontier.
In this way, the border land that was originally barren and had few people was destined to have a lot of people, and Fu Quan thought that maybe the narrow land of the Changshi of Saibei and the border land of Liangzhou could be expanded outward because of this.
And the migration of these powerful clans is also a disguised reduction of pressure on the Central Plains. After all, if the people of the other wealthy clans dare to covet it, Fuquan does not mind taking it as a crime, and uses the army to forcibly move the corrupt family to the border, so that there will be a large amount of land.
And in this era when the land of the Central Plains is no longer satisfied with the population of the Han Dynasty, this extra land, Fuquan and other landless people in other places with the order of the imperial court, can also alleviate many social contradictions, and it is completely the best of both worlds.
