Chapter 242: Fusang
Each person has a different experience and a different heart.
Zhao Kuangyin made his fortune as a military general, so he attached great importance to military power. Seeing the cowardice of the literati, he was very relieved of the literati. As long as there is no corruption, the punishment will generally not be severe.
But at this time, the country could not really rule the world, because there was a location, a feudal town! Their owners are called knots. The Song Dynasty's Jiedu envoys were not Tang Dynasty Jiedu envoys, they had military power in their hands, but this military power was the Xiang Army, not the forbidden army, and the forbidden army had been kept in the capital. But there is a fatal place, at this time, the box soldiers are not as degenerate as the later box soldiers, and some box soldiers can also fight under the training of these famous generals, no less than the forbidden soldiers. The number of each is small, three to five thousand people in the big town, and nearly a thousand people in the small town.
It turned out that Zhao Kuangyin didn't take it seriously, there were only a few thousand people, who would dare to rebel? But when he went north to Taiyuan this time, he had to recruit troops from all walks of life, and according to the rules, Zhao Kuangyin's dispatch of these local troops must be approved by the Jiedu envoy. Zhao Kuangyin was not happy and decided to take back the military power from the central government again. Moreover, years of military and financial decentralization have weakened the strength of the Jiedu envoys, and when the time is ripe.
The second glass of wine released the military power began.
Zhao Kuangyin recalled Wang Yanchao, Wu Xingde, Guo Congyi, Bai Chongzan and Yang Yanzhang back to the capital in the name of resignation, and held a banquet in the back garden. They are all military generals, and even striptease has come out, and it is a wine banquet, so they can say anything.
When talking about the friendship in the past, Zhao Kuangyin said: "All the ministers are former ministers of the country, who have been in charge of important towns for a long time, and are busy for the country. ”
Wu Xingde said: "It's not hard, this is what the ministers should do." ”
Zhao Kuangyin immediately stopped laughing, and his black face was even darker.
Several others were unafraid. Why, we have very little power in our hands. And if you didn't make a mistake, why should you take back our military power? There is only one person. Wang Yanchao, over the years, he has been worried that Zhao Kuangyin will turn over his back accounts, and even this festival envoy has made trembling. And he thought a lot, for example, Zhang Yantong said that he would be killed, this is killing chickens to show monkeys. There is also a one, his two sons have entered the deed shares in Hezhou, and they can share a lot of money every year. A few old guys are fighting for their children and grandchildren. Why fight for it. Therefore, he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no merit, and has been honored and graced for a long time, and the old minister is ashamed, and now he is old, and the minister begs to return to his hometown, please ask Your Majesty to give permission." ”
A few old guys still disagreed, when the emperor took refuge in you, you used a few times of money to send the emperor out of the country. Now I am naturally scared to death, but I haven't offended the emperor, so I don't have to be afraid. Wu Xingde stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, we once attacked the city. It's not easy to survive so far, and you can't just quit. ”
The other three chimed in.
In fact, the four of them are also old, and Wu Xingde is sixty-two years old. Guo Congyi is sixty-one years old, and Bai Chongzan is sixty-one years old. Yang Yanzhang is fifty-eight years old, which is the age of retirement. The reason why it is not returned. It's not that they want to occupy the position of the envoy of the festival, but their son has no shadow seal, and the shadow seal is not big, not as good as Song Jiu.
Lao Wu said it, so he said it directly, the emperor is not right, if it is according to the old practice of the Tang Dynasty, the descendants of the Jiedu are usually hereditary official positions, even if they do not make up for the Jiedu Envoy, they can also make up for the defense envoy or the regimental training envoy Such a deputy official.
If the regimental training envoy is an actual official, it is not small, it is Yang Liulang's official position in Hebei.
The offer must be a little higher in order to bargain.
Zhao Kuangyin said slowly: "The great achievements that Zhongqing said are all the affairs of the previous generation, and it is not worth talking about here." ”
This is the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty, not the palace of the Later Zhou, the Later Han and even the Later Tang Dynasty!
The merit you made has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty!
The five people pinched their noses and couldn't make a sound, could it be that they dared to overturn the case for Chai Rong?
After taking down these five deputies, he began the following actions, and since then he has rarely conferred official posts on the official positions of temperance envoys, and continues to look for opportunities to take back the official positions of other temperance envoys.
The faction sent to the various sections to make the overseers around them, and divided their rights.
Send a transfer envoy to Jiezhen, who is in charge of the financial endowment of Jiezhen, and regularly transports the financial endowment to the capital.
Hanging over the land of China for more than 200 years, the clouds have finally gradually melted. As a result, the later knots gradually became a false position.
The five people also have officials, Yixingde is the crown prince and Taifu, Congyi is the general of the left Jin Wuwei, Yan Chao is the general of the right Jin Wuwei, Chongyun is the general of the left Qianniuwei, and Tingzhang is the general of the right Qianniuwei. That is, he has an official position so that he can get a retirement salary.
Hearing this holy decree, the five old guys looked at each other. Still unwilling, he retreated like this, Wang Yanchao suddenly laughed and said, "Let's find Lao Shi to go to the theater to watch a play together." ”
"Let's go."
A few old guys rode to the theater, but the tickets were sold out again, there were tickets at the door, they were high-priced tickets, Yang Yanzhang was so angry that he arrested a ticket hooker: "Big mother, you dare to earn even our money." ”
The life of the hook ticket made him lift it, and he was too frightened to make a sound. A few old fellows were about to go in with their tickets, and the ticker reported to the patrolling Hezhou servants, and the servants pointed to one of them and said, "Don't you know who that person is in Ludao?" He is General Shi Shouxin, and the one who can be with him and hug his shoulders is poor. I can't control it, I want to report to you to Kaifeng Mansion. ”
It's not okay to report Kaifeng Mansion, a few frustrated old guys are on fire, does Zhao Kuangyi dare to provoke?
In fact, it is difficult to say how much positive significance Zhao Kuangyin's move has, he cut it too hard, and the elite soldiers were placed in the capital together, but the generals did not dare to train like Zhang Qiong, and only wanted to learn from the party to pretend to be stupid, or pretend to be dumb like Yang Lin, plus the capital is a prosperous place, what army can be trained?
Chai Rong finished gnawing on his old book, and the decline of the Song army began.
Then all kinds of ways to strengthen the army even raised the largest number of troops in the world, and the combat effectiveness was not as good as the hundreds of thousands of forbidden soldiers in the early Song Dynasty.
The strategy written by Song Jiu Qiande in the second year is a bit excessive, but at this time, it is the right time. However, at this time, Song Jiu may not even be able to save his life.
And Zhao Kuangyin is not very kind, he said that he would take it away, and he didn't give it at all, a few old guys bargained, how much to give, even if they gave their children and grandchildren a little bit of a false position, maybe their mentality would be a little calmer. Or give some reward. Nor did it.
The year's decline is unimaginable.
And almost made a bigger mistake......
Zhao Kuangyin felt very relieved. The fight between Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi is a struggle in the family, and it is irrelevant. Therefore, his eyes were on another person, Fu Yanqing.
When Wang Hu arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, he did not return to his hometown during the day, but jumped into the fire pit. But he wasn't sure in his heart, what if Fu Yanqing really rebelled. People have just arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, and they are going to jump again in the name of Wu Xingde, what is the Daimyo Mansion in my town, and the imperial court has sent a prefect to do?
Fu Yanqing didn't jump, he was lucky. There is a more cunning son-in-law. received the news in advance, and very politely took Wang Hu to the Shuaifu. The two talked. On the spot, Wang Hu couldn't sit still, for no other reason, Fu Yanqing had a total of three daughters, three sons, the eldest son had died, and the second son Fu Zhao was willing to take any idle position in the capital, and lead the history of Enzhou Assassin from afar, so that he could enjoy happiness in the capital. You can also be taken hostage. The old Fu Zhaoshou spends all day drinking. Either two daughters are still alive, one is Chai Zongxun's mother, who was originally in the capital and later moved to Luoyang. Then he moved to Fangzhou. What is Fangzhou, a place dedicated to the disposal of exiled princes and grandsons, including Tang Zhongzong Li Xian. Nine times out of ten, you won't die well. There is also a daughter who is Zhao Kuangyi's wife.
When I saw Fu Zhaoshou, I thought that Fu Yanqing was not very old. Actually, no, Fu Zhaoshou is Fu Yanqing's old son. Now Fu Yanqing is seventy-one years old. Will such a person rebel? This made Sima Yi and Sima Zhao feel embarrassed.
But it's hard to say, Wang Hu continued to investigate.
Many people were watching his every move, whether it was Zhao Kuangyi or the Fu family, their hearts were raised. Wang Hu continued to investigate, but did not find any counter-complaints, but heard a very interesting thing. That is, when some feudal towns were rented by the people, some officials were not good, and tried to embezzle, but the rent was fixed, and they did not dare to increase the rent, so they used a big bucket, or Hu noodles, that is, a bucket to measure, not a flat amount, but a pile, when it could not be piled, when it was a bucket. Often a bucket of taxes can be levied for one and a half buckets. Fortunately, at this time, the taxes of the Song Dynasty were still not too heavy, and the land was vast and sparsely populated, as long as they were diligent and did not encounter major disasters, they would have a good harvest, so the people did not complain. and the excess of this is for the officials. It is available in most places, either heavy or light. But the Daimyo's Mansion is the heaviest. After Zhao Kuangyin heard about it, he sent a permanent staff officer to preside over Hu, and he started to level from Hu Liang. Then the edict calculated the amount of millet grain with the difference between the two and rewarded it to Fu Yanqing. Don't fix the common people, if you want it, I will give it to you. Disgusting Fu Yanqing with cold intentions.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin completely forgot that he was in a hurry to borrow money from Zhang Yongde in order to ask for marriage.
However, is Fu Yanqing really short of this money? Even the Fu brothers' annual dividends in Hezhou will buy tens of thousands of stone rice!
If Fu Yanqing is only forty years old, he may deliberately tarnish his reputation and secretly plot against him, and in his old age, he will be buried at any time, so why bother.
Thinking of this, Wang Hu felt a little sad, if Zhang Fu and the others raised their flags against it when the emperor was in the imperial robe, Zhao Kuangyin would not be able to sit still. It is precisely because of their support that the country has been smoothly replaced, but in order to repay peace, the old man has resorted to these unpopular means.
After not checking, Zhao Kuangyin sent an envoy to inquire, Wang Hu bluntly reported that Fu Yanqing did not plot to rebel, and he guaranteed the lives of more than 100 members of his family. He also wrote to Zhao Kuangyin to learn the lesson of the Jin and Han Dynasty's indiscriminate killing of innocents due to suspicion, so as to make the country quiet.
Saying it directly, it is not to belittle Fu Yanqing, what is the rebellion, this is a sign of wanting to kill Fu Yanqing. Can't be killed.
If there is no accident, Zhao Kuangyin just smiled after seeing it, and there was still a person standing behind Guan Jian. There is no revenge on Wang Hu for the time being, since Wang Hu used more than 100 lives of his family as a guarantee, it is inconvenient to use rebellion to execute Fu Yanqing.
Later, when Song Jiu heard this, he was also scared into a cold sweat, if Wang Hu was really greedy for what prime minister, maybe Zhao Kuangyin just wanted to use this excuse to take down Fu Yanqing, but someone in the middle was messing around, Fu Yanqing would definitely die, even if he was in prison, would he still have a way to live at his age? Fu Yanqing died, forcing Zhao Kuangyin to no longer be able to reuse Zhao Kuangyi, and he would also be very miserable.
However, that's it, I haven't let go of Fu Yanqing yet, you can't stay in the Daimyo Mansion, the reputation is too stinky, it just so happens that Fengxiang Festival makes a vacancy, you go to Fengxiang. Adjust Fu Yanqing to Fengxiang, that can't be adjusted, God knows how many fire pits there are on Fengxiang's side waiting for the old Fu to jump.
There is a master behind the old Fu, just tune it, on the road because of old age and illness, and very sick, lying in the shoulder to Fengxiang. If there is no Zhao Kuangyi, if he dies, he will have to pull Fengxiang, but with Zhao Kuangyi, it will be different. Zhao Pu has been silent until now, and Zhao Kuangyi has been silent.
At this time, he finally entered the palace and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Emperor, my grandfather is seriously ill and can't go to the town, so I hope that the emperor's brother will give him medical treatment in Luoyang." ”
Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and agreed.
Take a hundred days off in Luoyang and see a doctor. This person is old, there is always a little bit of a major illness and a minor illness, and he stays in Luoyang and does not leave, but he is anxious to break another person in the dark. There is no need for him to come forward, there is an impeachment of the imperial history, the reason is very simple, since he is on sick leave, he is not allowed to get paid, but the old Fu is the same, people are old and greedy to this one, please stay on the table and ask. was originally trembling, and then he grabbed the Yushitai for interrogation, plus I don't know if it was a real illness or a fake illness, nine times out of ten it was still death!
Zhao Kuangyi had no choice but to intercede again.
So Zhao Kuangyin took Fu Yanqing as his old marriage and specially released it. The festival envoy was removed and left in Luoyang to recuperate. Zhao Kuangyi breathed a sigh of relief. Depreciate, depreciate, don't be afraid of deprecation, I'm afraid that people will die, as long as Fu Yanqing dies, the imperial brother will inevitably be suspicious of himself. Without the trust of the imperial brother, he is the imperial brother, and he has been in charge of a period of plausible national politics, what will happen to him?
Spring is coming, but Zhao Kuangyi's eyes are looking out the window, and there is a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes, as well as the desire for imperial power and the control of fate...... It was only at this time that Zhao Kuangyi completed all the transformations!
Gu Mu was finally cultivated by Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu together, and only one person could vaguely know the Dao, and it was only after the fact that he gradually guessed it. It was Wang Hu's turn. This kid doesn't know each other, are you embarrassed to stay in the Daimyo's Mansion? He was quickly transferred to Xiangzhou as the prefect. Xiangzhou may be important, but it is a military status, it has nothing to do with size, and it is not as important as the Daimyo's mansion, and later the city of Beijing in the Song Dynasty.
Before leaving, Wang Hu passed by the capital, and he stroked the three locust trees in the courtyard, all of which he planted with his own hands. Thinking of the prime minister's Xu Yu again, he said slowly: "My descendants will have the three princes!" (To be continued......)
