Chapter 473: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

That night, Zhao Zhongzhen promulgated a treatment plan.

1. Yang Zhuqing was commanded to be greedy for military spending, a huge amount, refused to repent, instigated and plotted veterans to resist the change of law in a violent way, and his crime should be punished, and the king of Liang County beheaded him with the power of the sword of the Son of Heaven, warned the three armies with his head, and confiscated his income from greedy ink over the years.

2. The commander Zhou Wennian, Jiang Qing, and Guan Songbai have eaten more than 3,000 empty salaries over the years, expressing their willingness to take the initiative to clear their ill-gotten gains, and promising that they will never commit it again, and that they have not participated in the planning of the confrontation with the law.

3. The commander Yang Shun, Zhang Zhi, and Xu Zheng did not participate in the planning of the confrontation and change, and the cumulative amount of military money involved was less than 1,000 yuan, and they promised not to commit it again.

Fourth, Yang Mi and other 23 people did not participate in the planning of the confrontation and change of the law, and the amount of military money involved was small and the circumstances were minor, and they were not to be held responsible.

5. Twelve soldiers, including Chen Gang and Luo Shun, participated in inciting and organizing soldiers to resist the law, seriously violated military law, and the crime was unforgivable, but because they were not the main offenders, they were exempted from capital crimes, and they were punished with 100 military sticks and exiled to Lingnan to fill the army.

6. 407 people, including soldier Ma Du, participated in the fight against the reform of the law, and should have been held accountable, but in view of the fact that they were deceived and used by others, and the riots did not cause serious consequences, it was decided to exempt them from military law, but cancel their retirement compensation, and force them to return to their hometowns.

After the punishment decision came out, the military office copied the military newspaper overnight and sent it to various military camps on Jingdong Road, as well as to the Privy Council, the Ministry of War and other imperial court departments.

Zhao Zhongzhen wrote another detailed report and sent guards to the capital to report the matter to the Son of Heaven.

This matter, secretly promoted by Fanning, was soon known to the spies of the Hong Kong Economic Journal and the tabloids.

Four days later, the "Hong Kong Economic Journal" and the "Tabloid Newspaper" reported on the incident on the front page at the same time, and the public opinion in the capital unanimously praised Zhao Zhong, the king of Liangjun, for his resolute handling of military emergencies, full of courage, and clear punishment methods, with clear evidence, clear rewards and punishments, and the demeanor of a king, which can be called a great weapon of the royal family.

In the imperial study, Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven, said to Xiangguo Han Qi with deep feelings: "This kid is so pure, he told me in the report that he was frightened by the riots of the soldiers, hiding in the forbidden army barracks and looking forward to the stars and the moon waiting for Fan Ning to come and save this matter, he didn't even sleep all night, afraid that the change would die as a result, and after dealing with this matter, he blamed himself for being cowardly and cowardly, and he couldn't handle such a simple matter." ”

Han Qi smiled slightly: "King Liangjun is a teenager after all, only twelve years old, his mind is still immature, and it is normal to be afraid of something, but I appreciate him more for being modest and self-disciplined, honest and sincere, and following advice, although he can't bear to execute Yang Zhuqing, but he knows that Yang Zhuqing's crime is unforgivable, if he doesn't kill him, there will be more twists and turns in the change, only by killing him can he completely implement the change, he handles it very well in terms of personal emotion and reason, and he really has the demeanor of a king." ”

"Did Han Xianggong also read the newspaper?" Zhao Zhen asked with a smile.

"Wechen has seen it, this matter has become the hottest thing in the government and the opposition, almost everyone in the court is talking about this matter, and the Zhizheng Hall is still discussing this matter today."

Zhao Zhen was a little interested, and asked with a smile: "Then what did Jia Changchao say?" ”

"Jia Xianggong said that the same thing, if it is not handled properly and not well considered, it will become an unfair change of law to provoke a mutiny, all kinds of public opinion attacks, and the court questioning, making the change of law a quagmire, and the law changer will not dare to cross it easily, but if the handling is decisive, reasonable and well-founded, and then ask the newspaper to publicize it positively, it will become a major political achievement, so that the follow-up change will be smoother, Jia Xianggong said, he admires the behind-the-scenes commander of this matter even more, and the means can be called old and spicy, and the water is not leaky."

Zhao Zhen laughed, "Why is this old Jia talking a little sour." ”

"Your Majesty, I have to say that Fan Ning handled this matter well, and His Royal Highness King Liang cooperated well, and if one of the two is missing, it will not be the result today."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "You are right, in fact, I know very well how difficult it is for the army to change the law, and I don't expect that kid to really succeed in changing the law, but I care more about his change process, his mentality, his character, his way of doing things, to be honest, his simplicity and kindness, honesty and kindness deeply moved me, I consider making him the emperor's grandson, and inherit the unification after me, what does Han Xianggong think?" ”

Han Qi had already felt this way, and now he was able to confirm it from the mouth of the Son of Heaven, which made him sigh deeply, how could this be, it was originally to let Zhao Zhongzhen win glory for his father, but in the end, it became a son instead of a father, what did Zhao Zongshi think? This plan was proposed by Fan Ning, and I am afraid that he will be hated by Zhao Zongshi from now on.

Zhao Zhen saw that Han Qi was silent, and he also understood his thoughts, and said slowly: "I also know that it is unfair to his father to directly replace his father with the emperor's grandson, but I have to be responsible for the Great Song Sheji, and I have to explain to the ancestors and ancestors, and I can't be swayed by family affection, if Zhao Zongshi is just mediocre, but I have observed him for so many years, he has a flawed personality, he is easy to do things in an extreme way, and he is stubborn and does not listen to people's persuasion."

If such a person is the magistrate of the county, at most the people and officials in a county will suffer, but if he is allowed to be the Son of Heaven, it will be the disaster of the people of the whole world.

In fact, I am not very optimistic about Zhao Wenyun, although he is kind, modest and self-disciplined, but his character is too cowardly, easy to be swayed, if he ascends the throne, there will inevitably be a dictatorship of relatives, but also the misfortune of the Great Song Dynasty, I can not explain to the ancestors and ancestors, but compared to Zhao Zongshi's stubbornness and extremism, I still prefer Zhao Wenyun, who is good at listening to people.

It wasn't until Zhao Zhongzhen appeared that I finally saw the future of the Great Song Dynasty and saw the shadow of a Zhongxing monarch, and I thought about it repeatedly for several months before I had the idea of establishing the emperor's grandson. ”

Zhao Zhen's heartfelt words moved Han Qi, but he was not swayed by his feelings, he muttered and said: "The establishment of the crown prince is a major matter of the country, and we must be cautious, Weichen has two suggestions, first, I hope that Your Majesty can think about it for a few more months and make a decision after careful consideration; Second, Zhao Zhongzhen's changes have just begun, and I hope that His Majesty can let him have a beginning and an end, and not easily announce the establishment of the emperor's grandson. ”

Zhao Zhen also knew that he was a little emotional, after all, Zhao Zhongzhen had only appeared for a few months, and he still needed time to observe and understand.

"Han Xianggong is right, I'm a little too hasty."

Han Qi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is truly modest and self-disciplined, and it is the luck of the Great Song Dynasty to have Your Majesty sitting in the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

..........

In the next few days, many low-level generals confessed to the stationed law change team the fact that they had made some small money, and tried to pass the test as soon as possible.

Of course, there is also a little selfishness in this, in case the commander from above can't pass the test, when the successor is promoted, wouldn't he have a chance to pass the test first.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, for the soldiers, killing the greedy Yang Zhuqing made countless soldiers applaud, and they couldn't wait to kill a few more.

But the commanders understood the doorway in the announcement, and the commander of so-and-so was greedy for thousands of military spending, and he was exempted from accountability after the retreat, and still served as the commander, and there were too many hints in it.

When the commander is five years, eat empty money, deduct military money, and collect filial piety, which is not greedy for ink tens of thousands, how can there be only more than 3,000 yuan, and there are even people who are less than 1,000 yuan, coaxing ghosts!

Besides, the arrest in the afternoon will be announced, how can it be verified that they are only greedy for such a small amount of money, in the final analysis, it is how much they confess? As long as you hand over a small amount of money, you will be considered to have passed.

Of course, everyone is not stupid, why do some people confess three thousand guan, and some people confess several hundred, there must be some basis for this, like Hu Cao officials are very clear about the situation of each battalion of empty soldiers.

It's just that the specific amount of money is not known above, and it is difficult to verify.

The key in the announcement is to ensure that you are not greedy in the future, that is, as long as you are not too greedy, you can not be blamed in the past.

For example, those who are greedy for 3,000 yuan are ready to say that they are only greedy for 3,500 yuan, and those who are greedy for 10,000 yuan are ready to say that they are only greedy for 2,000 yuan, and then hand over the 2,000 yuan of money to be exempted from responsibility.

For a time, the generals moved when they heard the news, and they began to check and correct themselves from top to bottom, and the cleanup of over-age soldiers was also carried out very smoothly.
