Chapter 140: General Judgment

Huang Chao is a figure in Chinese history who has to be said, if the decline of the Tang Dynasty began with the Anshi Rebellion. ()

Then the Huangchao Uprising put on the last evening clothes for the Tang Empire, although he died in the end, but his subordinate Zhu Wen later destroyed the Tang Empire, and history entered the stage of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

Zhao Xu thought in his heart that it was Huang Chao, the leader of the peasant uprising, who had said that Zhao Xu's knowledge of history was still okay.

He remembered that this Huangchao had also established a regime called Daqi, and he was the emperor.

The fourth year of Tang Zhonghe was the year when Huang Chao died, so this painting may not have been painted by Huang Chao.

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, to be honest, Zhao Xu is really interested in this Huang Chao, as a low-level person, he can actually shake the Tang Dynasty.

Lao Huang turned out to be a salt seller, who made a living by selling illicit salt, and drank wine and gambled with a group of friends on weekdays.

If nothing else, Huang Chao's life may have passed like this, but there is a saying called the times create heroes.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was already in the twilight of the West Mountain, and Li Tang's royal family was even more useless, knowing that the rampant conquest was tyrannical, and the people were not able to make a living.

Huang Chao's life is also not good, sometimes when he encounters the government, he inevitably has to fight, it is in the relationship with the government that Lao Huang has practiced an excellent kung fu.

This year, there was a great drought in Henan, and there was no harvest, but the imperial court ignored these and still doubled the tax.

At this time, Huang Chao's buddy Wang Xianzhi couldn't stand it and led a group of people to rise up and resist the **** of the Tang Dynasty.

In one year, most of the Tang Dynasty was swept away, and all the provinces were shocked, and the local governments urgently sent troops to clean it up.

At this time, Huang Chao was not willing to be lonely, and after Wang Xianzhi captured Puzhou and Caozhou, Lao Huang also brought his children and nephews to join in.

For a time, the ranks of the rebels continued to grow, and many people continued to join, and the prestige of the rebels continued to increase.

Later generations always said that the peasant uprising had limitations, which is true, and the prestige of the rebels continued to grow.

Originally, Wang Xianzhi rebelled because he was not happy, but now his reputation is getting higher and higher, so when someone in the Tang Dynasty came to recruit him, he was shaken.

The **** of the high-ranking official Houlu made Wang Xianzhi ****, and at this time, Huang Chao, who was the second person in the righteous army, angrily reprimanded Wang Xianzhi, and then fought separately.

Later, Wang Xianzhi died in battle, and Huang Chao at this time had actually become the de facto supreme leader.

He led his men to conquer the north and south, and slowly moved to fight most of China, causing the rulers of the Tang Dynasty to panic.

Finally, in 881 AD, Huang Chao captured Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an is a symbol of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Xizong and the eunuch Tian Lingzi fled south to Chengdu, and continued to command the officials and troops in various parts of the country to attack the rebels of Huangchao.

On the day he entered the city, Huang Chao did something that was deeply loved by the people, that is, to distribute money to the poor people in the city.

The general Shang Rang announced to the masses: "The Yellow King raised an army, originally for the people, not because the Li family does not love Ru Cao." Thou Cao but live in peace. ”

That is to say, we, the Yellow King, did not raise troops for ourselves, but for the people, and we will not be like the Li family who does not love you.

Don't be so frightened, it's okay, you better go back to your own house and find your own mother. It worked.

Soon, the people in the city had accepted the rebels, and some even joined the rebels, and at this time Huang Chao also lived in the palace.

On the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month of 881 AD, Huang Chao was called the emperor in the Hanyuan Hall of the Tang Imperial Palace, and the country name was Daqi, and the Yuan Jintong was changed.

Of course, the establishment of the country must be governed by officials, and of course the people in the original rebel army will be used, but their talents are really limited.

It is simply impossible to take on the heavy responsibility of governing the world, and at this time, Huang Chao has a decision to use the original officials of the Tang Dynasty. [.A lot of good novels]

However, not every official of him can enter the new dynasty, according to the people's account, and retain these people as appropriate.

Not to mention that this trick really works, many people who really do practical things for the people have stayed in the center of Daqi.

Later, Huang Chao was still driven out of Chang'an, and then moved to the local area, and finally in 884 AD, he was betrayed by his subordinates and finally killed.

Zhao Xu recalled the approximate life of this Huang Chao in his mind, but he was a hero, and this painting was collected here by Li Chongjin, which must have some special significance.

It's better to keep it for yourself, in case you can use it in the future, and besides, you don't have this painting with you, you can also take it with you.

He didn't know if this really gave rise to another story, which he didn't know now, and everything would be clear by then.

Zhao Xu looked inside again, there was nothing, and he walked out, and as soon as he went out, he asked people to carry these belongings out.

Now the people of Yangzhou City are already very poor after being looted by these soldiers, and the money is just distributed to them.

Anyway, he doesn't care where Li Chongjin got all this money from, he only remembers one sentence, that is, take it from the people and use it for the people.

Therefore, it is most practical to return these things to the people, otherwise what is the use of putting them here?

When the people in charge distributed these things to the people of the city, they said that they were given to them by the imperial court.

Immediately, the people knelt on the ground and shouted Long live the Great Song Dynasty. That's what the people wanted.

No matter who is the emperor, as long as they are given benefits and let them have benefits, he will support whomever he wants, so Zhao Xu sighed that the people's hearts are really ......

Zhao Xu's affairs in Yangzhou City are basically on the right track, and he has no interest here, so he is ready to return to Beijing.

Before this, Zhao Xu had already asked Zhao Kuangyin to tell Zhao Kuangyin about the situation here, and Zhao Kuangyin had also seen this detailed battle report at this time.

"Haha, the prince really lived up to my expectations, and he pacified Li Chongjin so quickly, come on, all the generals have a heavy reward;."

The ministers in the court finally understood at this time, it turned out that the court had won the battle, and it had only been a long time.

It seems that the prince really lives up to his reputation, I really don't know if the prince is too powerful or Li Chongjin is too incompetent.

But they all said congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the crown prince.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he quelled the rebellion of an old minister of the former dynasty, and this time the Great Song Dynasty was even more stable.

"The decree is ready, and the prince's performance is approved, let the prince return to the palace as soon as possible."

What Zhao Xu played was nothing more than to let that Chen Siyu be appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou, Zhai Shouxun was sentenced (the general judgment has not really been implemented), and Han Lingkun was appointed as Li Chongjin as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu.

At this time, Minister Fan Zhen walked out:

"Dare to ask Your Majesty what is a general judgment and what kind of position is it, the old minister remembers that we don't have this official position?"

Not only him, but many people also don't understand what kind of official position this is, they really haven't heard of it before.

Zhao Kuangyin saw that everyone was very confused, but he laughed:

"Don't you all know, don't you know Zhao Pu?"

Zhao Pu walked out honestly, saying that he didn't know, this was not modesty, he really didn't know.

Zhao Kuangyin really discussed with him before, but this time he really didn't know, he looked at Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi also shook his head, he didn't know that the relationship between Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi was also good.

After Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, the three of them often discussed national affairs together, and they knew about the major affairs of the imperial court many times.

But this time it's really a black eye, and the two of them really don't know what's going on with this emperor today.

"It seems that Zhong Aiqing really doesn't know, and this is not to blame Zhong Qing, this is what I have discussed with the prince for a long time, and it happened to be implemented in Yangzhou this time."

"I'll explain to you right now what this general verdict is all about." Saying that, Zhao Kuangyin slowly explained.

After some extremely laborious explanations, everyone finally understood this time that it turned out that the emperor wanted to limit the power of the locality.

According to the emperor's interpretation, this general judgment is the abbreviation of "general judgment of state affairs" or "governor general judgment", and it is the assistant of the governor.

This position is placed in each prefecture or prefecture, and the prefect or prefect is assisted in handling government affairs, and it is clearly stipulated that as long as it is the official affairs of the prefecture such as money, household registration, servitude, and prison litigation within the jurisdiction, the general judgment has the ability to intervene.

This interrogation is not a direct interrogation, after all, these are all matters within the jurisdiction of the state, but the documents signed by the state when dealing with these matters must be signed together with the general judgment.

Otherwise, it is invalid, that is to say, the general judgment indirectly restricts the power of the governor, which is not counted, there are even more absolute.

Even the general judgment is also responsible for the assessment of the officials under its jurisdiction, which is the power of the former governor, and it was actually assigned to the general judgment first.

In this way, this general judgment really has the power of personnel, which can compete with Zhizhou.

Moreover, the general judgment was sent by the emperor, and there were special personnel responsible for supervising and assessing, and the local government could not ask.

That is to say, this is the minister sent by the emperor, who is responsible for supervising the governor, and the ministers are like a mirror in their hearts, which one of them can stand here is a fool.

Zhao Kuangyin was very satisfied with this policy, and when Zhao Xu proposed it to him, he found that it was a very good suggestion.

A large part of the chaos of the Five Dynasties was caused by the division of local powers, and it was the failure of these localities to obey the central government that led to the sidelines of centralized power.

The governor of a place will have a lot of power, and if there is a dissenting court, it will be difficult to control it, and now that there is an extra general judgment, it will be different.

The general judgment limited the power of the governor to a large extent, and also reported the situation of the place to the imperial court at any time, which was more conducive to the central government's control of the locality.

Zhao Kuangyin really admires his son very much, and adding one more position can solve the disadvantages of five generations.
