Chapter 974: Hall of Immortality
On the same day, with the cooperation of the army, the people of Wang Lei's supervision department ordered the arrest of all those who committed the crime, and announced to the people that the Qu family was only inadequately supervised, and only appropriate financial punishment was imposed, and they could return to work.
When all the people heard that the Qu family was exonerated, they all thought that this was a cover-up, the Qu family was because Qu Xi was a top businessman in the whole Han Dynasty, Qu Lingchen was the wife of the King of Shu, and all those who were exonerated were strongly dissatisfied with the government in their hearts.
But the next moment, they were all stunned, the Qu family was exonerated from the crime, and the next person who was announced by the government was the Huang family.
When it comes to the strength of officialdom, the Qu family is not as good as the Huang family, Qu Lingchen's status is not as good as Huang Yue, and the Qu family is not in the officialdom, Huang Quan is the first civilian official in the Sichuan Army.
There is no longer any suspicion that it is a cover-up, it is impossible for the government to dig out the Huang family for a small Qu family, if the Qu family is dug up for the Huang family, it is a cover-up.
And not only that, when the Qu family committed the crime, they just gave up the business in Beiping, but this time it turned out that it was the Huang family who robbed the Qu family's business at the cost of the lives of soldiers, and there were too many people involved.
A construction accident suddenly rises to the level of conspiracy to kill and officialdom fraud, and this crime is mostly a lot.
There are more than 100 members of the Huang family to be arrested, nearly half of whom will be executed, and nearly 1,000 officials will be implicated.
Only then did the people know that this time it was a relative of a senior official of the Sichuan Army who committed the crime, and it was a nest case.
In the past, these people felt that the Sichuan army was thinking about the people, after all, under the auspices of Liu Zhang. There are more policies to benefit the people than you can count. There is also a Sichuan military jurisdiction that is obviously more prosperous than Jiangdong and Hebei. It is even more convinced by the people.
It is precisely because they feel that the Sichuan army loves the people, so the people of Youzhou and Hebei have no resistance to the Sichuan army.
But now I know that there is also a dirty side in the Sichuan army, there are also officials who are corrupt, and there are not a few, and there are also those who play with power for the benefit of their families. And unscrupulously.
And this family is also the family of Sichuan army leaders like Huang Quan.
The people woke up from the blind admiration of the Sichuan army.
However, this did not affect the hearts of the people, the former people, the people of Sichuan were just grateful to the Sichuan army for bringing them a good life, after the eradication of the clan, the taxes became lower, after various new measures, the grain production became higher, and the people at the bottom could become officials as long as they studied hard.
They completely and unconditionally support the Sichuan army, and many people only need someone to say bad things about the Sichuan army. will glare.
And the people in other places, Hebei, Youzhou, Jiangdong and other places. I just thought about looking forward to the arrival of the Sichuan army, and felt that as long as the Sichuan army arrived, the government would be as clean as water, and I would be able to live a good life like the people of Sichuan.
So the Sichuan army dominated the world, and they cheered.
And now this case has awakened them from their dreams and turned them blindly into sanity, and they know that the Sichuan army also has a bad side, and it is not so perfect.
But the people will not be disgusted and suspicious of the Sichuan army because of this, what they have to wait for now is a result.
Arrested so many Huang family members and arrested so many officials, including Huang Quan and Huang Yue's close relatives, and the killing of so many officials at the same time will inevitably cause some chaos.
Liu Zhang is about to be proclaimed emperor, does the Sichuan army dare to deal with it? Will it be anticlimactic?
If the answer is yes, that's when the prestige of the Sichuan army plummets.
Hearing that there was a nest case in Beiping, the Queen Mother of the Regent Fu Shou was "furious" and brought most of the civil and military forces in Chang'an, including all the upper-level officials, to Beiping to supervise law enforcement.
But everyone didn't quite understand why the execution had to be carried out in Beiping, although the case happened in Beiping, and most of the criminal officials were from other places, and all of them were escorted to Beiping.
Including the Shi clan in Jiangdong and the Shi clan arrested in Hebei, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou, they were also escorted to Beiping.
After all the perpetrators arrived in Beiping, Liu Zhang ordered the members of the Huang family who committed the crime, as well as the officials who committed the crime, to be executed together with those clans.
Everyone was surprised again, Liu Zhang, is this slapping himself in the face? Obviously, those clans were resistant to the new policy, so they were arrested under the violence of the Sichuan army.
Now these officials and families who have come up with the new policy are the same crimes, the same selfishness, but Liu Zhang executed these people together with the members of the previous traditional clan, isn't this a slap in the face?
But in this kind of surprise, the people suddenly felt very down-to-earth in their hearts, and they originally doubted that Liu Zhang was about to become emperor, and whether he would severely punish the officials and relatives of his ministers.
Now not only should he be punished, but he should also be punished in this way of slapping himself in the face, which is similar in nature to the edict of sin, but it is more severe than the edict of sin.
Although it is true that there have been many crimes committed by officials and nobles in the Sichuan army, such a public disposition has made the people feel more reliable, and they have gotten rid of the blind support at the beginning, and now they have seen the pragmatism of the Sichuan army.
seems to have returned to the time when Liu Zhang ordered Ling Chi Liu Mao, the people of Yizhou at that time, and the people of Dahan now, are not the same mind.
The implication of such a big nest case happened at such a sensitive moment before ascending the throne, and it was handled so harshly, that it immediately became the talk of the people after dinner.
But soon, another news came, Zhang Lu Zhang Tianshi of the Heavenly Master Dao, occasionally saw the red light in the northeast on Mount Emei, and then took the high disciples to Hebei, and in the north of Beiping, he found the palace of immortality that has not been out for thousands of years.
Legend has it that the Palace of Immortality will only appear in the Holy Monarch's Dynasty, and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors ascended the throne, and all have the Palace of Immortality in the city where the Holy Monarch ruled.
Since Xia Yu, the Palace of Immortality has disappeared, and the last time it appeared was in 1056 BC, when King Wu of Zhou inherited the throne, and then King Wu watched Mengjin, and the assembly of a thousand princes. The Battle of Makino defeated the king of Shang and created the foundation of the Great Zhou.
The Temple of Immortality means that the Holy Monarch is about to come to the dynasty, and it also means that the world is about to be ruled greatly, which is the greatest omen of blessing.
When the people heard this, they soon knew what the reason for the appearance of the Hall of Immortality was, not only because Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, was about to ascend the throne, but because Liu Zhang ordered the killing of the black sheep among the officials and the killing of the children of the lord's family who were mercenary and wanted to kill the people.
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, as soon as Liu Zhang gave the order, the Hall of Immortality came out.
But the only thing that the people of the Han Dynasty can't figure out is why the Palace of Immortality was not born in Chang'an, but in Beiping? Could it be because of the execution of those prisoners in Beiping?
The Palace of Immortality was born in the city of the king's rule, does this mean that Beiping is going to become the capital of the Han Dynasty?
No one can let the Palace of Immortality appear for the second time in such a short time, and no one believes it at all, if the capital is Chang'an, it is obvious that he has given up this Furui.
In other words, if you want to rule the country, do you have to set the capital of Beiping?
In addition to the people of Youzhou who were crazy with joy, the people of Hebei were also happy, and the people of other states were depressed, complaining about why the prisoners were not executed in Chang'an or Luoyang.
Although many of these people will never be able to leave the township for a lifetime, after all, they have the impression that Chang'an Luoyang is much closer to their homes.
The people of Guanzhong and those merchants were even more panicked, if the capital was set in Beiping, the prosperity of Chang'an would definitely be discounted, which would directly affect their interests.
A palace of immortality, maybe it can't just make the Han Dynasty the capital of Beiping, the people and all the officials and businessmen think so.
But then, the highest Buddhist Zen master among the Chinese missionaries, Hongye Zen Master, announced that the sight of the light of the Buddha at Kongtong Mountain (located in Tianjin), east of Beiping, was a sign of the arrival of ten thousand Buddhas.
Buddhism has just been supported by Liu Zhang, after the first wave of large-scale preaching, although it is still far less influential than Taoism, but there are already many believers, and Buddhist rhetoric cannot be ignored.
The Red Leaf Zen Master took the monks to worship Kongtong Mountain, claiming that this is the Buddha of the Western Elysium who discovered that the Eastern Holy Monarch came to the court, and came to spread the light of the benevolent Buddha, one is to congratulate, and at the same time to help the Holy Monarch, so that the Han Dynasty will be more prosperous under the governance of the Holy Monarch.
At the edge of the primeval forest in the northeast of Beiping, many hunters found the auspicious divine beast Qilin Beast.
The people of Beiping also saw the Zhongding text of the capital of the Red Emperor from the backs of many bees and butterflies, and the people did not know it at first, but they gave some old people who had studied yin and yang for generations to see the clues and recognize them.
All kinds of visions came one after another, all pointing to one point, Liu Zhang is the reincarnation of the Red Emperor, the Holy Monarch is in the Dynasty, and Beiping is the city of the Holy Emperor's rule and the capital of the Red Emperor.
This time, except for the people in Guanzhong, who are very disappointed, no people oppose the capital of Beiping, in fact, where the capital is, they don't care very much, they just think that Chang'an Luoyang has always been a place of governance, and they are not used to changing to a remote place.
And the rest, is businessmen and officials, many large businessmen are headquartered in Chang'an, to move to Beiping will be lost, this is still a trivial matter, the key is that if Beiping is the capital, then business will obviously be centered in Beiping.
However, it is too far away, not only because of the long routes for domestic transfer of goods, but also because of the distance between the Western Regions and the Southwest Silk Road, which will increase their commercial costs.
They were reluctant to move their capital to Beiping.
Most of those officials were brought up by Liu Zhang from Jingyi and Yongliang, and everyone wanted the capital to be closer to their hometown, and most importantly, most of them were in the west, and now that they had moved the capital, they had to put down roots in Beiping again.
This is even more undesirable for them.
In addition, there are factors such as remoteness, cold, and too close to the grassland, which make many officials dissatisfied.
But what about dissatisfaction?
The Hall of Immorality, the Buddha Light, the unicorn beast, the bees and butterflies carrying Zhong Dingwen, are all in Beiping, if you oppose the capital of Beiping, don't you want these auspicious rui?
Even if some more enlightened people know that this is fake, they don't dare to say it, that is the act of looking for death. (To be continued......)
