Chapter 266: The Tragedy of the First Rank Masters
On the morning of the second day, when the tide was rising, Lu Zhengxing found that many people were missing, and all that was missing were those familiar faces.
In the Shengxing Palace, the closest to the emperor are usually those with large joints, and today almost half of these people have disappeared, and the remaining brothers, whether they are old enough or not, are also hunched on their backs, and they look weak and weak.
Lu Zhengxing didn't understand what this meant, could it be that these people had any infectious diseases overnight, thinking of this, Lu Zhengxing hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and he called Dao Mingzi over, Fortunately, this old man was very energetic today, and did not show any signs of exhaustion and illness.
Lu Zhengxing asked secretly: "What's wrong with these people, they have been hit by the plague, is there any epidemic happening?" While the two were whispering, many of the ministers in the court even began to cough.
Dao Mingzi snickered in a low voice and said, where are these people sick, they have heart disease.
Lu Zhengxing asked curiously, can't so many people have heart disease at one time, so is this a contagious disease?
Dao Mingzi said that this is indeed an infectious disease, and the pathogen He pointed the way to the right way, and it came from Your Majesty.
This made Lu Zhengxing very confused, he carefully recalled that he was not sick, and looked at Lu Zhengxing with an ignorant look Dao Mingzi explained, you tossed Jia Youwei enough yesterday to make him a priest of the earth, but he didn't have any real power in his hands, and he couldn't get any oil and water.
You did this to give everyone hope, but now you let everyone see the coming horror, so these big officials are scared, but they can't do nothing, so they will be offended, so they colluded overnight and came up with a way to lower themselves. In this case, they will not be ranked first in the list for the priesthood who may be appointed in the evaluation.
Hearing Dao Mingzi say this, Lu Zhengxing suddenly realized.
When these people saw that there was no oil or water to fish, they retreated.
It is also human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but these people are too obvious, which makes Lu Zhengxing a little annoyed in his heart, he feels that this is simply singing against himself, how can this be like this? Anyway, these people also have the money of the imperial court, why do they want to run away one by one when they hear that there is no good thing?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhengxing's anger did not come to one place, and he said angrily to Dao Mingzi: "Go and ask the imperial doctor to come, and then bring me all those sick guys, and give them good treatment in the palace." ”
The loyal ministers of the court looked at Lu Chengxing, their faces were red with anger, they knew that this time they were in trouble with those who pretended to be sick and coughed just now. At this time, he also quietly retreated to a corner of the main hall, not daring to make any more movements, but he didn't expect these people who Lu Zhengxing remembered to gather these people one by one and let them stand in front of him At this moment, these people stood one by one with a hundred times more energy, and they didn't look sick at all.
Lu Zhengxing looked at these people and said disdainfully: "You guys are coughing, but you are hunched over and pretending to be sick, what's wrong?" I heard that they were going to be healed, and you were cured. ”
The ministers in the audience saw that it was not good, and hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, because their little tricks were seen through, and if they were not convinced at this time, they would probably be in trouble.
The abnormal type made Dao Mingzi take the cloud plate, record the names of these people one by one, and announced that the one-year income of these people would be halved and distributed.
These cases can't be replied to, but they are very glad that they didn't support it and won't come.
For these people, they don't care if they are punished for half a year, even if they are paid for 10 years, they don't live on this.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhengxing drew a way for them, from today onwards, all people should not live in the palace, but all officials above the first grade must do so.
Since there are so many officials overnight. Wouldn't it be a good thing to treat them together?
In this way, the ministers are cursing the bad idea in their hearts, which is really miserable for everyone.
When those sick high-ranking officials were brought in, they pretended to be quite similar one by one, and even some wives even spit out a mouthful or two of blood from their tongues.
Lu Zhengxing invited all the industrial raincoats to the raincoats and said, if you can't give them all the spirit to me with one medicine, they will all be beheaded.
The raincoats were frightened, and they didn't know what they had offended the new master, but when they checked the pulse of these so-called terminally ill high-ranking officials one by one, they found that these people were all pretending to be sick.
Acupuncture and moxibustion drugs were used by all those who could stimulate these high-ranking officials to lie down, and even croton, a bad drug, was used on high-ranking officials.
For a while, there was a mess of porridge in the court, and Lu Zhengxing looked at all this calmly.
It should be said that there are indeed talents among high-ranking officials, especially acting talents, and there are really so many people who are still working hard, pretending to be sick, pretending to be a raincoat, then they are all in a rut, Lu Zhengxing did not kill Yuyi, but asked someone to directly carry these benevolent brothers outside the hall, put them on the bench and take off their pants, of course, not to let them dry their butts, but to let them be beaten by the board.
As a result, the grass hall was much more lively, and the officials below the first grade consciously stood aside, and completely drew a clear line with those first-class officials.
Usually high-spirited, has always been the momentum of the first product of the big people can only look at the pain one by one, there is a difficult face, everyone wants to be promoted, the higher the promotion, the better, today I know that this official is a little lower, in fact, it is also very good.
After receiving more than a dozen strokes, many high-ranking officials swore that they were sick and cured.
Lu Zhengxing is indeed a little unforgiving in this matter, he is so angry that he can get better when he sees that this master is sick from the board, and then you can never get sick when you are hit by the board every day, and live a long life.
Lu Zhengxing ordered those resolute guys who pretended to be sick to be handcuffed and shackled.
And when the people in the vegetable market finished every day, they were put in prison.
In this way, no one in the entire court spoke anymore Dao Mingzi felt that this meeting was a bit too much, and he repeatedly dissuaded Lu Zhengxing not to cause public anger.
At this time, Lu Zhengxing was angry, and he didn't listen to anyone who said it, he had to take this breath.
Lu Zhengxing put on a lot of battle robes in the square outside the main hall, so that the officials of Yipin were all staying here, and they were not allowed to leave.
And Lu Zhengxing said that even if the family died, my father was not allowed to leave, and he had to give me obedient recuperation here.
Dao Mingzi inquired on the side, when will they be able to let them go to the right road, when they no longer have the qualifications to be sick, Lu Zhengxing pulled Zhao Huaiyu and walked away, leaving only the courtiers inside and outside the Shengxing Hall who looked at each other.
This matter soon spread, and Yipin Dayuan was afraid that he would be chosen by the master to sacrifice or not, so he pretended to be sick overnight, and was recognized by the master.
There were also many people who were spanked, reduced to money, and imprisoned in the palace.
For a time, everyone inside and outside the court was extremely interested in this great news, and the topics of street talk were filled with these news.
At this time, the most anxious and anxious thing is that those family members who were happy and pretending to be sick at home were carried to the palace by the emperor at this time, and such unfortunate news came out, which made their families good.
The first-class master can't go back to the house, what should I do about this bribery?
How should everything in this house be cooked?
Even the first-class officials who were locked up in the palace were also anxious, but unfortunately there was one person who was not in a hurry, and that person was the master of Lu Zhengxing.
He originally wanted to gradually clean up this group of first-class masters through the position of sacrifice, but this group of people was too much, so he decided to simply take them to the pot.
Lu Zhengxing didn't pay attention to it at all, and these people also stopped going to court, just locked these people in the palace and Lu Zhengxing hung the military horses to take the whole thing. Heavy troops were sent around the Shengxing Temple.
Only enter, not out.
After tossing like this for half a month, many first-class members have resigned, asking not to be this product, and they want to return to their hometowns.
For these people who want to be lazy and return to their hometowns, they are even more annoyed, which country has been angry for so many years and said that you want to leave and give me an inventory of their property, this check does not matter, and it is found that there is a big thing that breaks the earth.
Because these Yipin compounds left in a hurry, the firewood at home did not have time to hide.
One of them was called Far Away. The official department is still in the book, and his family property is more than a few million taels of silver.
This is simply incredible, and this is just a fly in one of his mansions, and after investigation, he has many mansions in and around Kyoto, if you check them one by one, this is definitely an astronomical amount.
According to the law at that time, embezzling tens of thousands of dollars of silver could be executed at a later time, but Lu Zhengxing fully refined human nature and did not do so.
He asked people to thoroughly find out this guy's assets, and he actually embezzled thousands of taels of silver, and others. Fields and so on are even more difficult to count.
There is no way to know this, and the arrow is ready to be sent, and if you don't deal with this guy, I'm afraid you won't even be able to stop your reputation.
When Dao Mingzi and Lu Zhengxing discussed how to enforce this criminal law, Lu Zhengxing came up with a trick, that is, to bury him alive with the money embezzled by the kid.
Outside the noon gate, where the mountains of silver were piled up at noon, the official named Jing Tianyuan knelt tremblingly in a pit, and threw the silver at him one by one, until he buried the fellow in the pit.
The people around them who were watching the stars clapped their hands, and they thought it was too good and funny.
Heaven is forgivable, China and North Korea only hate to gather much, and they have earned a lot of silver, but they never thought that silver could be pressed on their bodies, so that they could not bear it.
At this time, many first-class officials in the imperial court began another collective activity, that is, suicide by hitting the pillar headlong, holding a bag everywhere to find the beam of the house to hang, and preparing to bite their tongue to commit suicide, all kinds of things, all kinds of wonders.
Lu Zhengxing simply ordered someone to urgently make a batch of cages, put these people in cages, and hung them on the city wall.
At the same time, Lu Zhengxing searched all these first-class round places, and found that almost none of the family property of a big man was under a million taels of silver.
Three years of Qing prefect 100,000 snowflake silver, Zhifu's official did not get a product, if he got a product, he would naturally get a lot, and the family property of these first-class officials would naturally not be less.
In recent days, a curfew has been imposed in Kyoto, and all people entering and leaving the city have to be examined in detail.
This created a problem for the officials whose families were in Kyoto, because the gold, silver, and jewelry they had embezzled could not be transported out of the city at all.
Of course, there are also those who are honest and honest among the officials, and they don't care at all.
The world takes turns, and the officials, who are usually proud of their wealth and wealth, are now low-key one after another, and they don't teach or ride horses when they go out.
I didn't dare to bring the expensive food on my body, and all the gold and silver treasures at home were buried in the ground.
Some people even demolished their own houses, afraid of attracting the attention of others.
Things in the world have always been like this, a few people are happy and a few are worried, some people are unhappy, then some people are happy, when these masters are unhappy, the people of the world are very happy, they now know that the big people who usually reprimand and teach them from above have such a dirty dark side.
After half a year of tossing, Lu Zhengxing found out that the homes of 31 first-class officials had harvested more than one billion snowflakes and silver, and this was only cash silver, and there were countless other houses, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, treasures, and fields.
Lu Zhengxing then began an unprecedented work, which was the act of atonement.
The so-called atonement does not mean that you can be innocent if you hand over the silver, but that Lu Zhengxing arranged some errands for these first-class masters.
Their ultimate goal is to complete these errands without being executed.
Where did these usually pampered officials suffer this crime, thinking of Ling Chi and they were about to collapse one by one.
Lu Zhengxing is preparing to build a moral and political palace, and all these compounds have been arranged.
Gangsters move bricks, saw wood, etc., etc., and each compound is supervised by two soldiers.
Eat as much work as you want, and if you are lazy and don't work, you will be hungry.
Dao Mingzi thought that without the dispatch of the Yipin compound, the government would be in a mess, but what he didn't expect was that after the things of the Yipin Dayuan were shared, many things became faster Without the axle between the immortality of the imperial brother, many things became smoother.
Inspired by this, Lu Zhengxing simply cut out a lot of unnecessary departments.
All of a sudden, the court was in a state of flux. NEW!
But there is still one question that remains unresolved, that is, what should be done with the families and servants of these high-ranking officials?
Lu Zhengxing had a trick for this, and sent all these people to join the army and send them to Zhao Lingyun to resist the fierce beasts.
The woman was decided by Zhao Lingyun to marry the soldiers and soldiers on the border as his wife In this way, the morale of the soldiers under Zhao Lingyun was greatly shocked.
The mansion of the first rank lord in the imperial court did not exist at all, and the officials of the second rank began to tremble, and they were also afraid, and the next wave might be their turn.
So the second-grade officials began a generous fundraising activity, they donated their family's money as much as they could, and spent what they could, and no one wanted to be. The rich will suffer that sin again.
Lu Zhengxing naturally saw this in his eyes, and he had no intention of continuing to toss.
Thus the most fortunate one cheered for the sacrifice, but his heart was still terrified, for in recent days he had given away all the gold and silver treasures and silver he had, and his house was now in ruins.
Don't talk about Pu Yi, he even dismissed a lot of concubines in the family.
When Lu Zhengxing sent someone to inspect his house, he found that his house must be described as a house with four walls, and there was not even some decent furniture.
Of course, I know that the reason why this family is so cold is completely because of the recent days.
Coming on for his repeated requests to return to his hometown early, the Assassin Elephant is no longer a big deal, and the silver continues to be rich, and compared to those colleagues, he feels that survival is really the most important thing.
Zhao Lingyun, who was far away from the border hell beast, knew everything that happened in the imperial court, but he felt very happy.
Because for the zombies on the border, if they want to gain support in the court, they have to attack these big men from time to time and give some gifts as benefits.
And now these big circles are all destined to return to Huangquan, which really saves Zhao Lingyun a lot of things.
It's just some people. It's really no headache, because they want to do things like these first-class masters who give money to do, but no one does it for them.
What is happening recently between Zhao Huaiyu and Ding Ning's way of nature, but this has nothing to do with them, and between the two and the other, Zhao Lingyun's family has become the number one prosperous family in Kyoto.
Getting up early is not necessarily in good health, don't look at today's fun, be careful to pull the list after autumn.
When the center of the road once again embarked on the road to find friends, Kyoto turned out to be a little depressed, when the original traffic was busy, the assassins turned out to be sparsely populated, and the nobles who were originally richly dressed on the street were wearing cloth clothes one by one, and some even deliberately fixed their clothes to show that they were poor.
When some officials who came to Kyoto to do business saw this peculiar scene, they wondered: Could it be that this year's six-star costumes are all beggars?
After everything that happened during the half-year period and other longitudes was completely transmitted to all places, large and small, the officials in the world suddenly became the poorest people.
Moreover, they treat the people quite politely, and even these rich officials often distribute some cool and test some benefits to the people to win people's hearts.
And with the assistance of Ming Zhiwu, half of the officials of the imperial court were guessed.
Many verbose links have been removed, and many inexplicable old sites have been abolished.
Lu Zhengxing led by example, he actually demolished all the palace walls that dominated the palace and let the people take them home to build houses.
This time, the family wealth of the Yipin compound was found, and the treasury was indeed enriched.
The road is going to use the money, but the water conservancy is building bridges and paving the roads.
And Lu Zhengxing also organized many clans to tuntian and built workshops to produce tools.
Some viruses have even taken on the heavy lifting of transportation, and the biggest project of all is probably the Grand Canal.
In order to open up the speed of the panorama and make transportation more clean and convenient, a large canal is being built.
Originally, this was not Lu Zhengxing's plan, but Daomingzi believed that gold and silver must be spent in order to be efficient, and a country's money bag can only prosper if it is constantly circulating.
The so-called country is rich and the people are strong, the people are rich and the country is strong, where does the people's money come from, if the people do not have money, the world's trade and trade exchanges will not be able to be carried out, and the world will not be able to continue to progress.
In the past six months, the expenses of the imperial court have been greatly reduced, but the income has almost doubled, and the surplus in this treasury has become more and more large.
Dao Mingzi almost always trots first-class every day when he goes to court, and his joy is beyond words.
And the juggernaut went out to inspect again at this time, saying that it was an inspection, and everyone knew very well in their hearts that the juggernaut was going out to travel.
But do you have any complaints, after all, there is nothing to do in the DPRK, the world is peaceful, and it is understandable that you want to go around the territory by yourself.
Put a lot of wives on your own. The money was sent home, and he was only accompanied by Ding Ning and Zhao Huaiyu, so he fell cleanly.
The most difficult thing to do is that these palace maids are crying to death one by one, for them to enter the palace, if they go home again, they will naturally be looked down upon by others.
There is no dispute with the world, don't hand over this troublesome matter to Dao Mingzi, let him deal with it.
No one thought that Dao Mingzi's trick was to set up a women's workshop, set up a female study method, and arranged these people with two tasks, either to work or to go to school.
In this way, the lord has almost become an official who has commanded the light pole, and there is nothing to complain about after all. The juggernaut even demolished his own palace, how dare others not laugh.
That's right. The commander is upright, who dares to be wrong.
After this tossing of the waist of the people in the world, it is indeed worth a lot, and the poor are no longer ashamed of their poverty.
For a while, the beauty of the panorama, the supply of goods is sufficient, the traffic is smooth, and the trade routes are wide.
When the people of the world become richer and richer, the world becomes better and better.
Cang Liao knows etiquette and etiquette, and people who can eat enough in their stomachs will think of more and more noble things.
Even many of the bandit assassins in the huge mountains and forests have returned home, since it is better to work at home and work as a farmer, who wants to hide in the mountains, fight and rob and risk being killed?
Lu Zhengxing searched all the way, felt that many temples were in a trance, he found some monks to inquire, because many people hid in the temple because of famine and young people have no wealth in the country, such as today's Taiping material abundance life has become very easy, in this case, people have seven emotions and six desires, and the attraction of this temple seems to have decreased a lot.
Even many soldiers want to leave the army and go home to live a good life, and this is actually in line with the plan of the road.
Lu Zhengxing plans to put all the 100,000 troops home and let these people. They all went home and lived a happy and self-sufficient life.
But Dao Mingzi did have some concerns about him, worried that these soldiers would disturb the place and be unruly when they returned home.
But Lu Zhengxing thinks that these soldiers are just to fill their stomachs, have something to eat, and can go home, so they naturally have to work hard, marry a wife and have children, and have the time to make trouble, after all, no one thinks that their lives are long.
