Chapter 458: Divergence
Author: Skyrim Drive
He Yue pulled Feng Ran up, walked to the imperial study, and asked Feng Ran to sit in front of the imperial case, He Yue instructed the inner servant, out of nowhere, to move out a bunch of folds, full of a book case.
Feng Ran picked up the above books casually and looked at them, they were all court ministers, or local officials, or officials of Xuanwu County presented to the emperor in the recitals, the content was to the emperor to reflect how some officials in Xuanwu County oppressed the people, acted as a prestige, and double taxation and other issues, without exception, all of them implored the emperor to issue an order to investigate, and each book was admonished from different aspects.
A rough count of the wind dyes shows that there are hundreds of memorandaries, and the contents of the impeachment are also varied. Regardless of whether the content of these impeachments is true or not, at least in terms of quantity, it shows that there are many problems in Xuanwu County for a long time. Feng Ran deliberately flipped through the old book from the fold, and at first glance, it was written and presented in August of the third year of the Jing Rebellion. The Yin Kingdom was merged into the Suoyun Kingdom in June of the first year of the Jing Rebellion, that is to say, two years after the Yin Kingdom was reduced to a county, some ministers began to impeach Xuanwu County.
Feng Ran asked, "What happened in Xuanwu County?"
"The people are in revolt. ”
The popular uprising is a relatively mild term, and a more direct term, it is "riots".
He Yue said: "This is a battle report sent by the post station early this morning, saying that there was a civil uprising in Xuanwu County, and some chaotic people rushed into and occupied the county guard's mansion......"
"Where's my eldest brother?" asked again, "Why didn't I get a battle report?"
He Yue handed the battle report to Feng Ran from the imperial book case, and said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid that something will happen to you in a hurry, so I deducted the battle report." ”
Feng Ran only took a look at the war report, I don't know who wrote the war report, it was long, it was written very literally, and it was the name of the commander of the garrison in Xuanwu County, and he was a martial artist, and he should have written this war report with the military documents.
At the beginning of the battle report, the words were simple, only reporting that there was a riot in Xinrong City, Xuanwu County, and thousands of rebels rushed into the county guard mansion and finally took control of the county guard mansion. A government official from the county guard escaped from Sinrong Castle and asked for help from the nearby garrison. The garrison marched into Xinrong City and surrounded the county guard first, but before they could attack, they were surrounded by countless more chaotic people in Xinrong City.
The middle paragraph of the war report is written with great emotion, saying that these bare-handed "rebels" surrounded the garrison and cried to the soldiers one after another. The battle report listed the "cries" of the "rebellious people" heard by the soldiers Contents: The common people under the rule of Xuanwu County were subjected to heavy taxes and exploitation, could not afford to support their families, could not afford to make ends meet, sold their children and daughters, and were unable to leave their hometowns because of the limitations of their household loans; in the year of the famine, the people of other counties and bepriots all had Fengguo disaster relief, and there were no grains in Xuanwu County, and there were a lot of dead people; all of them in other counties and beppu had already gradually abolished the law of nobles, and Duxuanwu County was still very popular, and the Shu people were as cheap as grass mustard; Xinrong City, as the fief of the king of Xuanwu Town, was even more oppressed and miserable; there were many other cases of oppression and goodness in the Xuanwu County Government, and there were many other horrific cases of oppression and evil, and it was impossible to enumerate...... In the same country, the people of Xuanwu County are as if they have been abandoned by the Feng Kingdom, in addition to collecting taxes from them, sending them to conscription, and levying them for military service, they are allowed to be bullied and squeezed by the county government, and they will fend for themselves!
Feng Ran looked at it, it felt like a huge complaint action carried out by the chaotic people, the people of the entire Xuanwu County were refugees, and his eldest brother Feng Wanqian was the one who was sued!
At the end of the battle report, the commander of the garrison had never encountered such a situation, and a group of ordinary people dragged their children and daughters, bare their hands, their clothes were ragged, their faces were yellow, and they cried to the garrison in a sad manner.
Historical records: On May 30 of the second year of Fengzhi, there was a civil uprising in Xuanwu County, and the county guard was occupied by the chaotic people.
Feng Ran read the battle report, pursed the corners of his lips, and sneered: "This trick is called 'mourning soldiers will win', really when those chaotic people are powerless? This can't be seen! Being surrounded by chaotic people and crying, they will be in chaos, and they don't know how to deal with it!" ”
Feng Ran threw the battle report on the imperial case and asked, "Are there any other battle reports?"
"No other reports have been received. ”
Feng Ran said again: "Go back and get rid of the paperwork for writing this war report, it's all nonsense to write it for so long! The county guard mansion was attacked, what happened to the county guard and other officials? Did the garrison negotiate with the rebellious people after surrounding the county government? What was the result? Did there be an attack on the government? These situations are not at all clear, will they write a war report? This document is!" The so-called county guard mansion was renovated from the former Xinrong City Imperial Palace. At that time, he demolished the part of the front hall that was used as the court hall of the Yin Kingdom, razed it to the ground, and rebuilt the three main halls of the harem into the front hall of the county guard's house, and built a partition wall behind the three main halls, and circled the east and west six palaces and the upper and lower six palaces as the back house of the county guard's house. This is a county guard mansion transformed from the imperial palace, and its strong and tall place can be the most of all the county guards in Feng Kingdom. Not to mention anything else, the county guard mansion still retains the palace wall, the wall is three feet high, the wall is threefold, and the access control is even stricter.
Feng Ran was extremely worried about the safety of his eldest brother Feng Wanqing, and asked: "I didn't go to court today, since you received the battle report and hid it from me, what arrangements did you make?" In Feng Ran's extremely lonely and dark young palace life, Feng Wanqian once gave him a faint warmth and hope. At that time, Feng Wanqing had just learned filial piety and knew that he should love his younger siblings, and the master told him to apply what he had learned, so he brought pastries one by one to visit his younger brothers and sisters who cared about him, Feng Wanqing did not miss the Feng Ran who was thrown aside and waiting for death, and said to Feng Ran with a gentle and sincere face: "Brother, big brother loves you, you will be fine." In Feng Ran's memory, it was when he lost the favor of his father, and after being raised by a palace maid, Feng Wan became the only time and the only person who came to his palace to visit his royal family. It can be guessed that this sentence has been said by Feng Wanqing to every younger brother and sister, and it is engraved in Feng Ran's heart.
"Brother, big brother loves you. "The immature voice, through more than 30 years, echoes in the ears of the wind dye, which is the treasure and softness that the wind dye treasures in the memory.
He Yue said: "The ministers of the court have discussed it, and they think that the rebels have not yet used force......"
"Didn't use force?!How did they rush in and occupy the county guard's mansion?" As soon as He Yue said a word, Feng Ran yelled back!
He Yue continued: "...... The adults felt that the people of Xuanwu County besieged the county guard......"
Feng Ran interrupted He Yue's words again in a very heavy tone, and said, "They are not besieged!
“...... But their intention seems to be just to make a big deal and attract the attention of the court in order to solve the problem of Xuanwu County. The adults suggested that there was no need to send troops to clear it, and that pacification should be the main ......"
Feng Ran interrupted again angrily: "They have all rushed into the county guard's mansion, and it is not called a riot?! Why don't you send troops? Pacify the main thing? Can you pacify it? When the people you sent to pacify the rebellious people, the corpse of my eldest brother ......" will be cold! However, in the second half of the sentence, Feng Ran can't say anything. The county guard is occupied, and the county guard and other officials are hijacked by the rebels, at this time, of course, it should be important to rescue the officials, how can there be such a time to be gentle with the rebels?
He Yue continued: "...... At the same time, I have sent officials from the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, the Dark Department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household to thoroughly investigate the old cases of Xuanwu County over the years, and give an explanation to the people of Xuanwu County. ”
Interrupted three times, He Yue finally finished speaking. Feng Ran stared at He Yue with a confused expression, as if he hadn't come back to his senses, and said for a long time: "Who are you escorting back? Ask for the crime? Ask for what crime?" Suddenly he was furious, and said angrily: "My eldest brother was kidnapped by the rebels, and his life and death are unknown, don't you say that you will send troops to rescue him quickly, and you are still thinking about asking him for the crime?!" Who are you helping?!"
He Yue hurriedly went to pull Feng Ran, and said softly: "Feng Ran, calm down." The battle report didn't say dead people, your eldest brother should be fine, don't worry too much. He Yue's relief seemed to have played a role, and Feng Ran sat back on the royal chair like a defeated rooster, let out a sigh, and said: "Since it is a riot, we should quickly send troops to clean it up and rescue the robbed officials, we can't be soft!"
"And then?"
"With officers and soldiers stationed, who would dare to start a riot again?
He Yue said: "Don't you want to think about the reason for this civil uprising? You didn't see the middle paragraph of the battle report......
Before He Yue finished speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Ran again: "That paragraph is all nonsense!"
He Yue continued: "...... It fully shows that there are many problems in Xuanwu County, and the problems are big, and they have been going on for a long time, and this civil uprising is just an outbreak, and it is time for the problems in Xuanwu County to be liquidated and solved!"
After He Yue finished speaking, she followed the wind and stared at each other, not letting each other go.
In the eyes of He Yue and the ministers, a very important passage in the battle report was nonsense in the eyes of Feng Ran. Obviously, this time, Feng Ran's angle and stance on the siege and occupation of the county guard mansion are different from He Yue and the ministers.
Feng Ran was worried about the danger of his brother An, and turned a blind eye to the cause of the riot, advocating that it should be simply dealt with as a riot and exterminated.
He Yue and the ministers thought more about the peace and security of the people in the country, and advocated a thorough investigation of the old cases of fraud in Xuanwu County, severe punishment of evil officials, and the opportunity to completely solve the problems existing in Xuanwu County.
