Chapter 173: The First Shot
It seems very bad, but this death, this case has become a headless case. It doesn't matter if Zhao Kuangyi is there, at most there will be some fishy smell, but maybe the two sons of the Su family will have to fight with Song Jiu. Song Jiu asked, "How did you commit suicide?" ”
"In the morning he was in the cell, quietly tearing his clothes into strips of cloth and tying a knot, and there were other prisoners in the cell, and some of the prisoners did not listen to him, so they called out to the officials, but the officials came too late, and he committed suicide by hanging on the beam."
"Suicide?" Timid asked, surprised. Since ancient times, the most difficult thing is the word death, saying that they are not afraid of death, but how many people are really not afraid of death?
But Song Jiu saw a glimmer of light in his eyes, too familiar, too familiar. He pulled Fu Zhaoshou aside and whispered, Fu Zhaoshou said, "How come? ”
"Therefore, the divine right should also be guided, the existence of ghosts and gods is a good thing for the country, with ghosts and gods, no matter how miserable the people are, there is also a spiritual sustenance, if this life is not good, there will be the next life. If there are no ghosts and gods, there is no faith, and the laws of this world will be very difficult to formulate. However, if you don't channel, there will be problems with the royal power, and there will be problems with the divine power. Not more, in another 30 years, if Buddhism does not control and does not guide, there will be many drawbacks, and it is said that it will not develop in the direction of the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”
"This is ......," Fu Zhaoshou couldn't continue.
If the great Jinshi just said that he was a Buddha and exiled to Salmon Island, who would dare to speak ill of Buddhism? Without saying anything bad about it, judging by the various trends in the history of Buddhism, it is possible that it will develop into any freak.
Song Jiu sighed and said, "I have seen many regions, there are ghost and god religions in various places, and there are many countries in the West. There are also many ghost religions. Simple, Lao Tzu was the same as Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is the sages and sages. But with the rise of Taoism, he became Taishang Laojun. Zhuangzi is just a well-written article. Become a real person in Nanhua. There may be ghosts and gods, but now these ghosts and gods are all sealed by mortals. Mortals can seal them, but why can't they be groomed? And if you use ghosts and gods to make a fuss, it is too terrible to brainwash the people. ”
"Brother-in-law said that you have the talent of Zaifu, but it's a pity that you are too lazy...... Jiurou, you think about it longer than us. ”
"Don't scare me!" Song Jiu said unceremoniously. What kind of talent is Zaifu, his unreliable golden finger, standing on the side and talking about it, is okay to be Zaifu. Think about the open and secret battles in the officialdom, and being Zaifu yourself is looking for death.
"You ...... with your brother-in-law"
"Didn't I say it, you'd better not ask about this, even if you come to me these two times, don't show it to the outside, and even show some hostility at ordinary times. It's good for your brother-in-law, and it's better for me. ”
Fu Zhaoshou still couldn't figure it out, but he understood it soon after.
Because of Song Jiu's strength, several Song armies were brought together. The counterinsurgency has been accelerated. However, the main force is still Liu Cao's East Route Army and Wang Quanbin's North Route Army. Ding Deyu can't be counted, there are only a few thousand soldiers. Kang Yanze's can't be counted, it's just a retracted Bashu rebel, not to mention combat effectiveness. Weapons and armor can't keep up.
In fact, the most difficult to pacify was Lu Hanbu, who had many elite Song soldiers under him, and the Song soldiers at this time were extremely strong. Faintly better than the Khitan soldiers, if they are good at riding horses. There is no shortage of horses, and it is not a dream to defeat the Khitan and recover the clouds.
The two armies assembled. With that Cao Guangshi as the commander of the righteous army, he was not the commander of the first battalion, but the head of the first army. The righteous army is some Bashu soldiers who defected under the command of Lu Han in Jiaya Erzhou, and there are several battalions. The combat effectiveness may be weak, but they are familiar with the local terrain and climate, and they are led by them, and the Song army is like a tiger.
It is equivalent to a joint attack of the three armies, Lu Han was defeated, Yazhou was lost, and fled to Lizhou, and an escape came. He coerced his subordinates to rebel with him, the soldiers were helpless, and they had to die if they didn't rebel, and if Lu Han could achieve great things and be a king of Bashu, the old and young people in the capital would not care if they closed their eyes. But failed, these Song soldiers who rebelled with him were furious one by one, thinking about their future, gathered together in a fit of anger, and killed Lu Han to vent their anger, before they had time to stack the corpse, Wang Quanbin's army caught up behind, threw Lu Han's body into the water, and fled in all directions.
But where else could he escape, as a result, he was killed, and the prisoners were captured, and the rebellion in Yazhou quickly subsided. Wang Quanbin promised to avenge Cao Guangshi, put down the rebellion of Lu Han in front, and continued to move westward with the two armies behind.
Seeing the ferocity of the Song army, the nearby barbarian chieftains sent wine and meat to attach.
Then Wang Quanbin returned with a large army to deal with the remnants of Wang Ke's wing.
Zhao Kuangyin fought him endlessly, did not express his position, but sent an envoy to take out money and silk to reward the three armies.
In fact, Zhao Kuangyin was very embarrassed, and Wang Quanbin's actions directly harmed the policies of the Song Dynasty after that.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything, just stabilized Wang Quanbin first, and then transferred some good officials to Bashu, such as An Shouzhong, who performed well in Yongzhou, Hunan, and was transferred to Bashu to serve as the assassin of Hanzhou. There is also Hu Ji, the son of Hu Meng, who is pure and kind, and can assassinate the history of Yazhou. He also transferred Sun Jin and Wu Bi and other twenty-seven leaders of the rebel Song army to the capital.
Zhao Kuangyin personally interrogated.
Originally, it was the rebellion of the whole division and the heroes, and it was not so serious, but Lu Han and the Song army also joined the rebellion, and the rebellion had to be under the banner of rebellion, and it cannot be said that we rebelled only because we were unevenly divided, so it was said that Wang Quanbin and other Song army and Song generals were lawless, which disturbed the hearts of the people of Bashu even more.
Song Jiu came back and said a lot, and also talked about this article, and even commented that although Quan Shixiong deserved to die, there was still something to forgive. Lu Han is the real unforgivable sin. One is from a national perspective, you are a Song army and a general, and the other is from a private perspective, your family is in the capital, and you have rebelled against your family. For the sake of money, the country doesn't care, the family doesn't care, and both of these points are ignored, is this still a person?
Zhao Kuangyin may not agree.
So he asked Sun Jin the reason for them, in fact, Sun Jin and the others were stupid at this time, if they all knelt down and begged for mercy at this time, maybe Zhao Kuangyin could spare their lives. Otherwise, why ask, it is to really pull out the head and cut off the head.
But Sun Jin saw that Zhao Kuangyin had words in his mouth, and the more he said, the more reasonable he became. What is the biggest crime in the feudal country, that is, the crime of rebellion, after he identified the most evil, he gradually became a rebellion and justified. Zhao Kuangyin heard the most gloomy aftermath. A face was already black, and it was finally a little whiter in the palace. As a result, he turned blue and black again, and he was angry. Pull Sun Jin and others out of the city and abandon the city. In fact, Sun Jin is the same as Su Laohan, if he confessed, he was only instigated by others, and his sins were forgiven. can't think of it, committed suicide in prison, Song Jiu couldn't explain the reason clearly, and also wiped Zhao Kuangyi's face, but as soon as the case was solved, the truth was revealed. What about his family? This evil is for children and grandchildren.
The same is true for Sun Jin, the other generals admit their mistakes one by one, but because of the unruliness of one Sun Jin, the other twenty-six people are all dragged into the water and beheaded to show the public. And also harmed his family, the more Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, the more annoyed he became, he killed all the twenty-seven generals, and issued an edict to Sun Jin's clan. The clan is the Zhu clan, and the most important one is the Zhu nine clans, but this is the three clans. Parents are relatives, brothers are relatives, and wives are relatives. One, two, three, all killed.
Then deal with the Bashu rebels, this can't punish the three tribes. So someone proposed to punish his wife, and the three tribes were not implicated. The soldiers themselves, their wives and children, were killed together. The law does not blame the public, Li Chongju said an honest word: "Your Majesty." These rebels shall be beheaded according to the law. But there are too many people, the number of rebels has reached more than 10,000, and then the wives and children are implicated, the dead will be tens of thousands of people, and the entire capital will be a river of blood, and it cannot be killed. ”
Therefore all released.
Not only will it be fine, but those who serve as soldiers will continue to be soldiers, but they will be punished more or less. How, Song Jiu didn't know much, he only knew one thing, the children of the Liu family finally wrote back. Those who reported that they were safe, said that the emperor would not kill, and also wrote to them to inform them that their families were safe and were being escorted to the capital.
The Liu family cried with joy, it doesn't matter if you get rich or not, it's good for people to live. Song Jiuxin was also a little more determined, whether Wang Quanbin was quelling the rebellion or not, Wang Ke's subordinates were just a group of stragglers, originally under the blow of Ding Deyu Kang Yanze, they could only die in the mountains, and his soldiers kept fleeing. Plus how long can the two armies be supported? As soon as this calamity returned, the people of Bashu began to be able to settle down temporarily.
But it was at this time that the first shot of the dispute between the two Zhao started.
Feng Zan case!
Song Jiu said that Feng Zan was good, and Zhao Kuangyin also thought it was good, he looked like a talent, and Zhao Kuangyin sat down to talk, talking and laughing, this is the bearing. Just like Song Jiu is nervous, but his conversation is normal, Zhao Kuangyin thinks that he has a bearing. After all, who is not afraid of the emperor at this time?
After talking, Zhao Kuangyin was changed from the palace of the Later Zhou Dynasty to Shuzhou. What's that? The base camp of the JAC White Clothes Army is located. Moreover, the previous governor of the state was overwhelmed and extorted, which made the people's resentment boiling, and Zhao Kuangyin was also afraid that something would happen again. Anyway, now the generals are not good, and many civil servants are not good, and Zhao Kuangyin, as the emperor, has to send people everywhere to repair it. When Feng Zan arrived, he was light and restrained, and Shu was happy. Capable people should be used more, just like Lu Yuqing, who is a firefighting captain everywhere, and Zhao Kuangyin uses Feng Zan as well. Then it was reassigned to Luzhou, that is, Hefei, to appease the people of Jianghuai. Something happened in Bashu, and the imperial court urgently dispatched capable officials, including Lu Yuqing and Shen Yilun. Feng Zan also did a good job, with 300 defenders to break Shangguan into 3,000 rebels, tens of thousands of rebellious people, so that the territory of Zizhou quickly stabilized, and even the whole division controlled Tongshan, did not dare to take a half step, out of the mountain to harass Zizhou.
Where Song Jiu passed, it was not Puzhou that was the best in the rebel area, but Zizhou. Zhao Kuangyin was very happy, so Zhao Pu was jealous, this is what the outside said. In fact, there is an inside story, Feng Zan was Zhao Kuangyi's person very early, and Zhao Pu also knew that when Feng Zan went down, he sent a dead man in his family to cast Feng Zan for him. Song Jiu went down and longed for the protection of the guards, even if it was to patrol the pit, and summoned the four of Hu Boss, not to mention Feng Zhan. Feng Zan saw that he was brave and clever, so he accepted him as a doorman and brought him to Zizhou.
Bashu gradually settled down, and it was time to harvest.
His servants absconded back to Beijing, beat the drums, sued Feng Zan and Linjun Li Mei, and Zizhou sentenced the palace servant Li Hui for embezzlement.
Some people can be greedy, such as Wang Quanbin, but some people can't be greedy, such as Feng Zan and Zhao Kuangyin are ready to use great talents. This is just like Song Jiu, Zhao Kuangyin allowed Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi to recruit some talents, but even people like Song Jiu who have no ambitions, no desires, and just want to make a small fortune are accepted into it, how serious will the problem be? So Zhao Kuangyin changed to Zhizhou, but the inside information was instructed not to be leaked to the outside, and he was ready to reuse Feng Zan at that time.
Just summoned Feng Zan back, just to ask, to prove his innocence and continue to reuse. Feng Zan and others returned to Beijing, Zhao Kuangyin asked Yu Shi to ask, Zhao Kuangyi asked what is true and what is false? Yushi helped Feng Zan one by one, and reported that the servants and slaves were false, and Feng Zan was innocent.
In fact, Zhao Pu's move is extremely cruel, and the servant and slave complaint is just a cover, and the big drama is behind. Song Jiu thought that Zhao Kuangyi was not short of money. Where can there be no shortage of money, raise so many people, and buy people's hearts without spending money? After taking out more than 10,000 yuan, Zhao Kuangyi's money in his hand was even more nervous, but the more he did this, the more he had to take it, and he had money in his hands, so he didn't raise many people! After the real Zhao Kuangyi took out more than 10,000 yuan, the economy in his hands was extremely tight.
This must be something that Song Jiu can see.
Yushi interrogated Feng Zan over there, Zhao Pu sent someone to Tongguan to check Feng Zan luggage, found gold belts and all kinds of valuable treasures, and it was impossible to bring money and silk, whether the copper coin or cloth was too cystic, and it attracted people's eyes on the road, in fact, this was money and silk, and the amount was not cheap. Fatally, a letter was also found, which was written by Feng Zan and others to Kaifeng Judge and Zhao Kuangyi's confidant Liu Zhang. Enough, the gold belt was brought to the capital along with Zhen Yu and the letter, and handed it to Zhao Kuangyin. (To be continued......)
