Chapter 182 Imperial Edicts
However, three days after his return, Chen Sheng didn't seem to have much energy to focus on retaliation. After returning, Chen Sheng immediately dealt with the thorny matter of being stranded in government affairs. The first thing was to arrest a lot of mob leaders who gathered to make trouble, and on that day they fought and killed, killed and killed, and flowed, and dealt with nearly 200 people in accordance with Qin law, and nearly 1,000 people were punished as hard labor, responsible for repairing the Minjiang River defense outside Dongye City.
There are many disobedient people in these townships, but Chen Sheng only made them dare not act rashly, because this brawl township is the fief of the donkey and the donkey, and the two kings were not strict because of the strict management, Chen Sheng first deprived the two of them of their fiefs and restricted their freedom according to the Qin law, and also asked the emperor to implore them to deprive them of their thrones.
Chen Sheng drew his salary from the bottom of the kettle, which made Su Shao and Wu Zhu panic. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, and if he insisted on getting involved with something, it was nothing more than trying to add some chaos to Chen Sheng and get a little profit from it. How do you know that Li Shen's plot is big, but he acted so recklessly, and the two of them were burdened with the black pot.
The loss of food is just a drop in the bucket for the two of them. But this throne is different. Once you lose your throne, you lose your political identity, just like ordinary people. It is still said that the preferential treatment will no longer exist, and no one cares about life and death, and it is easy for Chen Sheng to kill the two of them when he wants.
Therefore, in order to keep their throne, the two racked their brains, did not hesitate to come to the county guard mansion in person to apologize, and also alluded to the fact that they were used by others, so that there would be a mob in the food town. In the end, in order to compensate for all the damage caused by this incident in Fujian, the two also scraped together 50,000 gold and selflessly sponsored the Minjiang River embankment that was about to be repaired.
50,000 gold Chen Sheng's life won Huo's acceptance, he was already short of money and food, and now he dozed off and someone sent a pillow over, so there was no reason not to accept it. Besides, it is enough to cut off the minions of the two, and the emperor will not cut off the throne of Su Shao and Wu Zhu because of his letter, whether it is for the stability of Minzhong County or to check and balance him Chen Sheng himself, these two people still have incomparable values for ordinary people. Seeing that the two of them calmly admitted their mistakes, Chen Sheng was not easy to care—at least not at the moment.
As for Li Shen, Chen Sheng had the heart to beat. But Li Shen is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Except for Ah Xiu, the rest of the killers who assassinated him have been killed. There is no evidence that Li Shen instructed this matter. Although both Su Wuzhu and Su Shao hinted that Li Shen had tricked them into causing trouble, there was no direct evidence for their remarks, and Chen Sheng could not do anything to Li Shen based on this matter.
However, Chen Sheng can't, it doesn't mean that others can't.
Han Dongqing, with the authority of the county supervisor, withheld Li Shen's military power. Although it was only a short period of detention, with the return of Chen Sheng, the time for the return of military power to Li Shen was even more distant. Li Shen'an's henchmen and bribed officials in the army were all impeached by Han Dongqing, and the impeachment of the lower level was approved by Win Huo, and then Chen Sheng's review was considered the final review, and the bureaucratic team was cleaned up, and some of them were still under criminal punishment and sent to the silver mines that were being mined.
Seeing Chen Sheng, Ying Huo and Han Dongqing twisted into a rope. Li Shen was angry, but also puzzled. Why was Chen Sheng, who was born at the grassroots, able to get the support of Ying Huo and Han Dongqing.
Han Dongqing is just that, this old immortal is like a mad dog without a leash, seeing who bites whom, it is different to win Huo. Ying Huo was born noble, he was originally the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Mansion, and the arrogant master who specializes in dealing with relatives of the royal family, how can he look down on Chen Sheng, a pariahs from the grassroots? Isn't there a teacher who is Wei Yu? Compared to his father Li Si, what is Wei Yi? In terms of qualifications, my father has been by the emperor's side for many years longer than Wei Yu; In terms of merit, in order to annex the Six Kingdoms, my father made suggestions and gave much effort to the empire and the emperor; In terms of family background, since his father and brother, his father is the emperor's confidant, his three brothers are the emperor's concubines, and the two eldest brothers are the county guards of the town, and he is also the rising star of the empire, why do Ying Huo and Han Dongqing not support him, but support this Chen Sheng, who is nothing?
Li Shen, who is arrogant, has never suffered setbacks since he was a child, so he doesn't know what the two of them have in their hearts. His calculations were not wrong. The only miscalculation was that the behavior of the two was not based on the comparison between Chen Sheng and his family background, but was rooted in the emperor's decision.
From the moment the emperor established Chen Sheng as the county guard of Minzhong County, the smart people in the court already understood the emperor's deep meaning. From Han Dongqing to Ying Huo, after comprehending the emperor's intentions, he would not have the idea of going against Chen Sheng. First, Chen Sheng is not strong enough to affect their interests, and secondly, Chen Sheng is a student of Master Wei Yi, and Master Wei Wei has not formed a gang in the court, so there is no political enemy, so naturally no one will give Chen Sheng small shoes for no reason. So as not to offend Master Wei Yu, and at the same time make the emperor unhappy. Moreover, Chen Sheng at this stage is still the object of all parties' efforts to win over, how could he be so unscrupulously offended as Li Shen.
During the days of Li Shen's restlessness, he got a piece of news that made him even more depressed. The killer organization that contacted him sent someone to contact him, returned all the deposits, and told Li Shen that he would not accept any work against Chen Sheng in the future. Hearing the news, Li Shen was even more furious and scolded this killer organization for not being credible. He was still delusional in his heart that this killer organization would continue to organize a living force after the defeat and solve Chen Sheng.
Finally dealt with the matter of the mob rebellion, Chen Sheng didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but received an edict from the imperial court. The edict said that it was to repair the road, and asked each county to recruit craftsmen and provide labor. At the same time, it was said in the edict that it was best to provide a reasonable method of building a gallop in order to save materials and labor.
After getting this edict, Chen Sheng didn't dare to slack off. Thinking from the bottom of his heart, Chen Sheng did not want the emperor to build this project at this time. After all, the south is still at war, the Six Kingdoms have just subsided, and it takes time to digest, and the mausoleum of Lishan is also being built day and night.
But Chen Sheng also knows that it will not work if he does not cultivate. It was precisely because the Six Kingdoms had just subsided, the imperial court had not yet strengthened its control, and the northern land was in great trouble, that it was urgent to build a galloping road that could connect various places, so that the imperial court could mobilize a large army and suppress possible riots and intrusions at any time. If you don't fix it, you can't do it
