Chapter 30 Exceeding the authority of the whole town

The king glanced around, and saw that everyone was sincerely afraid, he stopped his eyes on Hu Ke's face, and thought to himself: Cao Tian can't be kept, this person is arrogant, and sooner or later he will have to cause trouble for himself; But Hu Ke can save his life, after all, someone still has to do things. Thinking www.biquge.info of this, Wang Bei's face sank and he pretended to be intimidated and said to Hu Ke: "Since Cao Tian is in charge alone, what's the use of keeping this for you to judge!" ”

When Hu Ke heard this, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Lord Wang, Cao Tian acted arbitrarily, and he also reminded him below. Moreover, the captain you sent to deliver the letter, Cao Tian said that the Western Xia Army was pretending, and it was I who strongly persuaded Cao Tian to leave him alive. ”

"In that case, the king will order you to act as an agent for all the affairs of the town. In the past few days, our army will be stationed here to wait for the results of negotiations with Western Xia, if there is the slightest mistake in Zhenrong, this king will try to ask you! The king's tone was unmistakable.

Hu Ke hurriedly thanked Wang Bei, and the others were also a little relieved that Wang Bei didn't pursue it again. "Then I'll go back to the city and arrange it immediately, when will you enter the city, prince? Does the army need supplies and forage from the city? Hu Ke asked cautiously.

Wang looked at Cao Tian, who was a little angry and dissatisfied, and there was a trace of disdain for Hu Ke in his expression. A general who had been behind Hu Ke next to the king asked, "What is your name and what official position do you hold?" ”

The man immediately replied nervously: "Xiaguan Sun Zhe, it is Zhenrong's record to join the army. ”

Wang nodded and said, "Record the matter and join the army, okay!" You're doing things like clerical picketing at the Zhenrong government, right? ”

"It's Xiaguan!"

The king looked at this man's facial features quite well, and he looked very honest. From the moment he entered the big tent, most people would go to see Cao Tian's face, but this Sun Zhe never looked at Cao Tian, it seems that he is not Cao Tian's cronies. "From now on, you will assist Hu Tongju in reorganizing the Zhenrong armament, and in addition to counting all the officials of Zhenrong, whether it is the household, the judiciary, the left-behind or the assistant teachers, and each of them will hand me a summary of their appointments. Whether they can keep people in Zhenrong depends on your summary. ”

After the arrangement was completed, the king said: "This king resisted the Western Xia soldiers coming to Zhenrong, if anyone disobeys the military order, it must be dealt with in accordance with military law!" Officials of Zhenrong, do you think I'm right? ”

His eyes looked at these officials in Zhenrong aggressively, and everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to answer, who knows who the king was talking about, in case he answered the wrong word, his head would be gone.

"Hu Tongju, what do you say?" The king asked Hu Ke, and Hu Ke hurriedly said: "What the prince said is that military law is like a mountain. ”

"Good! Cao Tian, are you guilty? Wang looked at Cao Tian and asked.

Cao Tian stuffed something in his mouth, his face turned red, and he shook his head desperately.

The king pointed to Cao Tian and said to the people in the tent: "You all listen, Cao Tian, as the governor of Zhenrong, not only disobeyed the order of this king, but also impeached this king. Today, this king will let you know that if you disobey the military order, you will be bloody! Come on, push Cao Tian out and behead the public! ”

The guards escorted Cao Tian and were about to go out, and the officials of Zhenrong stood up, this prince would not be so bold, even Cao Tian would dare to kill, right? Hu Ke hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, please think twice!" ”

The king waved his hand, and the guards stopped. "What? Are you going to speak for him? ”

"Lord Wang, Cao Tian has been guarding Zhenrong for generations, and he is a court official, this can't be killed!" Hu Ke's words seemed to be interceding for Cao Tian, but in fact, he was also afraid that Wang would get into trouble again, they all knew that Cao Tian was a relative of the emperor, and it would be too big for this person to cut the basket that Wang Pan provoked.

Wang Bei smiled slightly: "Hu Ke, it seems that you are a person who dares to speak." Well, this king will give you a face. Cao Tian, what else do you have to say? ”

The guards went up and took out the cloth socks in Cao Tian's mouth, Cao Tian gasped twice, thinking that the king would not kill him, he raised his head and glared and said: "You can't kill me, I am a third-grade official of the imperial court, and I am a relative of the emperor!" ”

At this time, he was still unconvinced, and Wang Bei smiled coldly: "Hu Tongju, I have already given you face, let him say a few words when he is dying." Someone, push it out and cut it off. ”

Hu Ke shook his hands when he heard this, and said less about what was the use of showing the public. It was too late to talk anymore, and the guards in the big tent pushed Cao Tian out without saying anything, so they heard Cao Tian shouting outside the tent: "You can't do this, you will regret it next to the king!" Then Cao Tian's voice could no longer be heard. There was silence in the big tent, and Zhang Pingzhi Kejun and the others felt too relieved in their hearts. And the officials of Zhenrong were all terrified, and this prince was really not ambiguous at all.

Cao Tian's head was sent to the big tent, and Wang ordered Hu Ke to go back to take care of the affairs of the two and settle the work of Zhenrong. The officials of Zhenrong came out of the big tent, and then they felt as if they had lived again, and hurriedly got on their horses and went back to Zhenrong to do their own things step by step.

After they left, the big tent became lively, and Zhi Kejun laughed: "Happy, this Cao Tian deserves it!" Do you still want to pose in front of our prince? Lord Wang, you used to think too much about doing things, and you will have to do this in the future!"

Wang Beixin said, I did this after thinking about it, otherwise it would be difficult to do things in the future. "That's it! Cao Tian is looking for himself, it's not early, let's rest first. Zhe Kejun, you go and invite King Xiao here. ”

Everyone retreated from the big tent, and after a while, Xiao Ying came to the big tent, and when the king saw Xiao Ying, he asked: "King Xiao, how are you preparing here, now that we have arrived in Zhenrong, I can let you go to Western Xia at any time." ”

Xiao Ying said: "I will set off tomorrow, hoping to bring the meaning of the King of Zhennan to Western Xia as soon as possible." However, if Xixia can't come up with so many silver taels...... I don't want my Da Liao and King Zhennan to hurt their peace! ”

Wang listened to it, Xiao Ying was telling the truth, Song and Liao had been peaceful for many years, and they were used to being calm. Moreover, Wang Bi and Xiao Ying, Xin Zan and even their Yelu Hongji Emperor have a good personal relationship. He said teasingly: "Of course I don't want it anymore, but I'm very curious, there is nothing good about Liao in this matter, what is King Xiao running back and forth so hard?" ”

Xiao Ying said: "I won't tell you, the Liao State is just doing this for the sake of face, how can a big country not take care of its own vassals?" ”

Wang smiled slyly: "I don't think it's that simple, right?" ”

Xiao Ying looked at the king and pretended to be surprised and asked, "What, does the king of Zhennan know about other reasons?" ”

"The southwest of the Liao Dynasty is the Western Xia, and the southwest is a place that the Liao Dynasty rarely takes into account, because although Li Liangzuo of the Western Xia is martial, he does not dare to compete with the Liao State. On the contrary, there was Western Xia in the southwest, and the Liao Dynasty did not have to deal with Tubo. If the Western Xia, a loyal vassal of the Liao State, is gone, then the weak link of the Southwest Liao State may not be so peaceful. ”

"Hahaha! I really can't hide anything from you, Lord Wang, this Western Xia is a very good barrier, but this barrier is now beaten by the King of Zhennan, and many Western Xia refugees have fled to Liao, what can these people do when they come to my Da Liao? In the end, I am afraid that in order to survive, I will steal, rob, and engage in the Liao country is not peaceful, and now the surface of Daliao is peaceful, but there are also troubles. One of the leaders of the Divination Department (present-day Mongolian People's Republic) Tarigan raised an army, and the Holy Lord was also very troubled. Therefore, the emperor had no choice but to send me, a person who had some friendship with the prince, to reconcile the disputes between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia. Xiao Ying drank tea and said with a smile.

This reason is quite sufficient, and there is nothing wrong with the Liao State being entrusted by the Western Xia to mediate this matter neutrally, but Wang Bi always vaguely feels that there are some problems in the Liao State to make such a strong effort to adjust this matter.

On the second day, Xiao Ying rushed to Western Xia, and Wang went to Zhenrong to inspect Hu Ke's takeover of Zhenrong. As soon as I entered the king of Zhenrong, I found that although the city wall of Zhenrong was high and the government was majestic, it made people feel that the gold and jade were ruined outside. The streets of Zhenrong were very depressed, and when they saw soldiers walking by, the people hid far away, looking at everyone with alert eyes.

Zhang Ping came back to report that this place was originally sparsely populated, and since Cao Tian took office, the soldiers here were rarely moved, and even if the imperial court had an order to adjust the defense, it was only a false number. After a long time, these people who eat official salaries have been cooked, and they are also eaten and taken in the local area. The common people couldn't afford to provoke the soldiers, many people moved away, and the land was barren a lot.

Two days later, Hu Ke and Sun Zhe handed over a list of all the Zhenrong officials and a summary of their appointments. Wang asked Shangyue Li to review these officials one by one, and finally the promotion that should be promoted, and the withdrawal of the investigation. He also ordered the Zhenrong Division to re-register the population and land of Zhenrong. Then Wang ordered Hu Ke to post a notice, the Zhenrong garrison was laid off, and all the old, weak and disabled soldiers in Zhenrong were willing to return to their hometowns to be given a one-time pension to retire, and they were willing to stay in the distribution fields of Zhenrong to be self-reliant. At the same time, those who are still serving in the army will be reorganized and disciplined.

When the notice was posted, the people of Zhenrong applauded, and many of the arrogant and domineering soldiers of Zhenrong were now ordinary people like them. Looking at this Zhennan King coming to Zhenrong, rectifying military discipline and dismissing many of Cao Tian's former subordinates, the people are even more happy. What made them even happier was that after the reorganization, everyone was also allocated land, and even the Zhenrong Yamen began to have subtle changes. The officials of the yamen were much more polite to the people, things were much easier to handle, and the land and commercial taxes in Zhenrong were much less.

Immediately afterwards, all kinds of new policies in Zhenrong were posted on the bulletin board in front of the city gate, and the people ran to the bulletin board to see it, and if they couldn't understand it, they asked what the literate people wrote. The streets of Zhenrong were lively, the shops that had been closed in the past reopened their doors, and some people went to the yamen to see what kind of person this king of Zhennan who beheaded Cao Tian outside the city.

Hu Ke has been busy with his feet on the ground these days, but his face is always smiling, he has been in Zhenrong for so long, and suddenly saw such a big change in Zhenrong, although he also understands that Wang Bei is too bold, as a supervisor to resist the Western Xia soldiers, it is a big crime to meddle in the governance of a place in Zhenrong, and also behead the local magistrate. On the one hand, he was worried about the king, and on the other hand, he was happy to see the changes in Zhenrong.

Staying in Zhenrong like this, staying for three or five days, I was worried about the normality of wanting to go back to Western Xia outside Zhenrong. When will he be able to send the remains of the emperor and his father back to Western Xia? At this time, Xiao Ying also rushed to Xingqing Mansion.
