Chapter 780: A Precious Freeman
Several officials pointed at Li Dabao and trembled with anger, and when Li Dabao slandered them as spies and divided the friendship between His Majesty and General Li's monarchs and ministers, they were terrified.
Whether Li Yuanqing had any intention of rebelling, they really didn't know.
Usually they impeach, and they do it on purpose.
Some have evidence, some don't.
But they are officials, and they have the right to speak out.
Several officials hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Heaven slandered me!" Weichen is loyal to His Majesty and has no second intentions. There is no intention of separating His Majesty from General Li. ”
Li Dabao pursed his lips, his eyes showing disdain, "When you talk about others, do you show evidence?" You know what it's like to be wronged by someone else now, right? ”
"Anyway, my father is faithful, and if you attack him and slander him, then I will say that you are a spy and that you want to harm my father, and his heart is sinister."
Several officials had a dense layer of sweat on their foreheads.
They now somewhat regret their previous remarks.
Li Dabao is right, they really have no evidence to prove that Li Yuanqing has a disobedient heart.
At this time, the crown prince stood up, "Father, Tiangonghou said something right just now. ”
"If you don't argue about it, you don't know the truth if you don't investigate it. Since there are so many people in the court who are attacking General Li, then father, you will send someone to Xiyun Mansion to investigate. ”
"If what these officials say is true, then punish General Li; If these officials are false, then punish them as well. ”
"Although the speaker has the power of impeachment, he is not unscrupulous and slanderous. I also ask my father to decide. ”
Emperor Zhou Ping's eyes were serious, and he looked around at the ministers, "What the prince said is reasonable, I will send someone to Xiyun Mansion." ”
"Sun Lizhu, the former county commander of Qingyu County, bullied the people, mutilated the people, fooled the people, provoked the people of Qingyu County, and misunderstood the major events."
"After the trial by the Criminal Department, I have now decided to cut off Sun Lizhu's fame, beat him with fifty boards, and exile him to Qingyu County, Xiyun Prefecture, for ten years of hard labor."
When Lord Sun heard this, his body shook and he almost fainted.
Exile to Qingyu County is almost like dying in the world.
originally thought that if he pressed it down, after a while, he would be able to turn a big thing into a small thing, but he didn't expect that His Majesty didn't think about letting Sun Lizhu go at all.
Thinking about it again, recently he instructed the housekeeper to find those officials to impeach General Li, and Lord Sun secretly regretted it.
Too impatient.
Either way, we should wait until I get my nephew out of prison.
Not only that, after Master Sun went home, he found that the housekeeper was gone, and he was immediately anxious, and he was in a cold sweat.
I got sick that night and had a high fever.
Lord Sun woke up the next day, made a decision, and wrote to Emperor Zhou Ping to ask for Zhishi.
If it was in the past, such a minister resigned, and Emperor Zhou Ping would have retained it.
Now it's good, Emperor Zhou Ping directly approved, and also asked Lord Sun to be in the capital for three months before he could return to his hometown.
Everyone didn't know why, but soon they all thought of a possibility.
Lord Sun was rejected by His Majesty.
But why was he rejected by His Majesty?
Curious people go and inquire.
As soon as I inquired, I knew that the mastermind who attacked General Li was Master Sun, and the reason was even more speechless.
It's actually for a nephew who made a big mistake in Qingyu County.
Not worth it.
Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, if you want to check, how can you not find out about the affairs of the official Shangshu Sun?
It's just that now when the imperial court officially hired people, it was hard to gather enough officials to send them to Xiyun Mansion.
If there is a big fight now, it will inevitably cause turmoil.
Therefore, after the resignation of the official book, Emperor Zhou Ping did not get to the bottom of it.
However, Emperor Zhou Ping did not keep Lord Sun, which shows his dislike for him.
Usually there are disputes, different political views, these can be understood, Emperor Zhou Ping can accept it, but only can not tolerate the use of power for personal gain.
Or at such a critical time.
After the resignation of Lord Sun, the secretary of the ministry, Emperor Zhou Ping directly ordered Gu Shao to become the secretary of the ministry.
According to Gu Shao's merits and abilities, it is enough.
Two months later, the results of the investigation came out, and the impeachment of General Li by several officials was false.
However, the official has the right to speak, although the purpose is not pure, but it is not a big mistake, directly demoted to three levels, and fined for half a year.
This time it was lowered by three levels, and it was difficult to rise up again.
In addition, these people also know that they are disgusted by His Majesty and dare not be demons.
It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
Last year, the family was neat and tidy, but this year Li Yuanqing did not come back.
He had to wait for Xiyun Mansion to become a part of the Great Zhou before he could come back.
Emperor Zhou Ping could see from the excerpts and the report of the internal guards that Li Yuanqing's method was effective, and he was very much in favor of it.
Li Yuanqing did not come back, but Emperor Zhou Ping and Empress Zhou gave the Li family a more generous reward.
Everyone in the capital saw that His Majesty trusted the Li family.
The same is true for the Zhao family.
General Zhao sat in the northwest city, stabilized the rear, and provided enough grain and grass for the Xiyun Mansion.
At the beginning of the spring of the second year, Emperor Zhou Ping opened Enke.
Although it will only be three years next year, the Xiyun Mansion is too big, and after the redivision, it will be as high as 16 counties.
Sixteen are needed for the county ordinance.
And that's not even counting all sorts of other talents, in addition, unqualified officials, just down, capable people up.
The people who read the books all over the week were very happy.
These people came to the capital from all over the country to take the exam.
The poor people in the family have no entanglement, so they can go to the local government to borrow money and travel expenses from the imperial court.
Just for the sake of talent.
During the palace examination, the exam questions were very simple, all of them were around Xiyun Mansion, and there were also arithmetic questions, agricultural mulberry, etc.
Anyway, the Four Books and the Five Classics, as well as various official documents on policy, have already been tested during the imperial examination.
Those who can be on the list are all proud of the sky, full of economy.
This temple examination is a practical test.
These officials have to be sent to Xiyun Mansion and work over there, otherwise there is no need to open Enke at all!
Some people think that the hottest thing last year was Xiyun Mansion, and Kaienke is also related to the lack of officials in Xiyun Mansion, so they pay special attention to it.
Therefore, when the temple examination was conducted, the results were better.
Some people actually write poems on the topics of the local customs of Nongsang and Xiyun Mansion, and at first glance they are a little pedantic in reading.
Emperor Zhou Ping was very lenient with the officials below and was not afraid of the officials being utilitarian.
Utilitarianism, in some ways, can also be understood as self-motivation.
He passed the imperial examination in order to select officials and manage the Quartet for him.
It's not about choosing a poet with good literary talents.
Therefore, those who are brilliant in writing this time, their eyes are only on books, and those who don't care about external objects are ranked lower.
On the contrary, it is those pragmatic and even poor tributes who pay more attention to agriculture and mulberry. Therefore, the answer is more down-to-earth, and I can talk about how to govern.
Such people are at the top of the rankings.
As soon as the results came out, some of the original good rankings were very backward, and they became fellow jinshi, expressing dissatisfaction.
Emperor Zhou Ping was also very single, and directly posted the test papers for those candidates to read for themselves.
Scholars belong to the wisest group of people, and from the content of the test papers, they know His Majesty's purpose.
Write poems on arithmetic problems to show off your literary talents, right?
On the topic of agriculture and mulberry, he also wrote poems, although the poetry is very high, but you can't answer the question correctly, who will give you points?
The original noisy and noisy fraud in the imperial examination ended like this.
Before these three hundred people can arrange to go to Xiyun Mansion, further study must be arranged.
For example, in primary school mathematics, you must pass the assessment.
For example, the geography and landform of Xiyun Mansion, customs and customs, etc., must also be qualified.
In this way, you can be qualified to go to Xiyun Mansion to take up your post.
Those who can be admitted to the Jinshi are all top-notch people and extremely smart. Not only does he have a good memory, but he also has a strong comprehension ability.
Two months later, more than 70% of them were qualified.
He was sent directly to the West Cloud Mansion and arranged his work according to the characteristics and abilities of each person.
The arrival of these people has greatly solved the problem of difficulty in employing people on the side of Xiyun Mansion.
The remaining thirty percent took a month to study harder, and finally passed the assessment and went to Xiyun Mansion.
These people are afraid that they will be late, and all the good places will be snatched up.
The sixteen counties that were redivided were finally equipped with officials.
County schools have also been opened.
Not only the Four Books and the Five Classics are taught, but mathematics and some miscellaneous studies are also taught.
This was personally ordered by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and supervised by the Ministry of Rites.
After a year and a half, Xiyun Mansion completely became the territory of the Great Zhou, and all the original serfs became the people of the Great Zhou.
These serfs were supposed to hand over more than eighty percent of what they had to the lord and get very little for themselves.
Now you only need to hand over 20% to the government, and you will get a lot.
After more than a year of recuperation, when it was time to collect taxes, the officials of Da Zhou really paid taxes strictly according to the standard of 20%.
These people looked at the sheep in the sheepfold, and the cattle and sheep in the cattle pen, and wept one after another.
They finally understood the preciousness of the freedmen.
They have a house, they have an estate, they have freedom.
It was at this time that all the original serfs of the Xiyun Kingdom knelt on the ground one after another and kowtowed to the emperor thousands of miles away.
I am willing to be the people of the Great Zhou!
