118. Not a single one can run
According to rumors, Song Taizu set up three ancestral precepts.
The first is to protect the descendants of the Chai family.
The second is not to kill the doctor.
The third is not to add farmland endowment.
The stone monument was also placed in the temple, stipulating that only the emperor who ascended the throne could see it, and no one else, including the crown prince, was eligible to see it.
If you think about it carefully, it is obviously unreasonable, how can a tablet be shown to only one person, is it usually buried and dug up by himself when the emperor wants to see it?
Let's not talk about whether there is this monument or not, anyway, after the southern crossing, Tokyo is someone else's, and the temple is also destroyed.
Let's just say this, the descendants of the Chai family didn't see a good end, they died to death, scattered, and finally when it came to Renzong, they could only find a person surnamed Chai who couldn't beat the eight poles to take the title of the Chai family.
And this third article, it is even more nonsense, a peasant pays taxes on more than half of the fruits of his labor every year.
As for the second one, which is hung up by the scholars every day, it has been maintained well, after all, they are the beneficiaries.
But to be more honest, according to the official history, Song Taizu himself killed more than 80 people, from the Privy Counselor, the palace to Yuhou, the state assassin history, down to the commander, the supervision of the imperial history, the county order, etc., there were all killed.
Song Taizong's hand is not soft, there are more than ten in this book alone, but Zhenzong only killed one, and it is indeed less and less in the back, basically gone.
Therefore, most of this article was reprimanded by the ancestors, but the civil official group forcibly instilled it to the emperor out of its own interests.
The first person to do this should be Fan Zhongyan, the first perfect person in the Great Song Dynasty, when a Zhijun committed a capital crime, and the prime minister said that he should be beheaded, but Fan Fuzi wrote against it, he said so.
"Since the ancestors, they have never killed their subordinates lightly, this is a virtuous event, why do you want to destroy it? And I and the public are here, among my colleagues, how many people are of the same mind? Although the intention is not known, and the light guide is to kill the subordinates, it is slippery, although my generation does not dare to protect itself. ”
The core reason is that he is afraid that the emperor will 'slip his hand', and the purpose is to completely turn less killing into no killing, and for this reason, he does not hesitate to ignore the law and discipline.
Since then, I really haven't killed much, at least, I don't use a knife to kill, so what kind of exile to death, frightened to death, doesn't count......
After crossing to the south, Gaozong raised the butcher's knife again and killed indiscriminately.
Now, this loyal king doesn't even have the title of crown prince, so he plans to make a big fight, which has to make the ministers tremble.
But seeing Zhao Mengqi pondering for a while, he looked thoughtful, "From now on, Lin'an will enforce a curfew, strengthen the city gate, and immediately search for spies, but if it involves court officials, you must ask the political affairs hall, and the prisoners after being arrested will not be tried for the time being." ”
After speaking, Zhao Mengqi turned around and smiled at Zhao Yun, "Father, is it okay for the sons to deal with this?" ”
You've decided that you're done, and you're still asking?
Zhao Yun waved his hand angrily, "But!" ”
"Whoa!" Gu Qing received the order, "In addition, the cadres of Bao'en Temple will be there later, and the next official will go to arrange official business first." ”
Seeing Gu Qing leave, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this loyal king did not go crazy, and the orders he gave were still very restrained.
Who knew that he saw Zhao Mengqi grinning and smiling at them with his big white teeth, "Are you surprised?" Not surprised? ”
"I know what many of you are thinking, most of you think that this case was brewed by me, hehe, it's really not, so I don't have to rush to arrest people, later, let's try it on the spot, handle it on the spot, absolutely open and fair, none of the people involved in the case can escape, most of them are here anyway."
Hiss!
The ministers were shocked, it turned out that King Zhong was fighting this idea!
He was right, most of the court officials in Beijing were on the spot, how could they run?
In fact, according to Zhao Mengqi's original plan, he really struck while the iron was hot, used Juezhen to be suspected of rebellion, and used the fastest speed to copy it, because the crime of rebellion is fictitious, but as long as those who conspired are arrested, the charges can naturally be tried.
But he heard from Gu Qing's mouth that it was not framed according to the original plan, but that the armor was really found, and what was even more unexpected was that it was really a spy in the Northern Kingdom.
Since you can achieve your goal in a high-sounding manner, why not follow the procedure? So no one has anything to say.
Zhao Yun on the throne sighed secretly in his heart, this kid really has a big heart, this toss, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, and look at it, if it's too much, hold it down again.
It's just that he didn't notice Dong Songchen standing on the edge of the platform, his legs were shaking badly.
It didn't take long for the people to arrive, in front of the palace, they were waiting for Shi Huai to escort people to arrive, because they were already in front of the palace, so they went directly into the court meeting area, just to keep a distance from the throne.
At this time, many people recognized Juezhen, although he did not have the demeanor of a high monk in the past, but the iconic black face could not be wrong.
The leather armor on Juezhen and more than a dozen monks made the people begin to believe in the fact of rebellion, and they all remembered that the source of the rumors of the evil Jiao was this black monk, and they couldn't help but become more and more suspicious of the statement that King Zhong was the evil Jiao, but what they were more worried about was how to solve the sleeping sickness.
When they saw Juezhen wearing armor with their own eyes, many officials, especially the Yushitai group, had their eyes darkened and began to think about the future.
After the prisoners were ready, the people of the Imperial City Division began to present the evidence.
First there was a pile of weapons, which was nothing to say, everyone had heard of it, and then one after another large chests were brought down from the ox carts and placed on the royal street.
Hou Tao, the director of the Imperial City, stepped forward and opened one casually, which was brilliant with silver light, and opened another one, shining with golden light.
"This is the valuables confiscated, more than 47,000 taels of silver, more than 7,000 taels of gold, 32 buckets of pearls, and the rest of the gems and jade of various colors cannot be counted, about 300,000 to 500,000 guan, 56 blank spaces, and more than 133,000 copper coins that have not been moved...... Many of the above are not detailed calculations, are rough estimates, or may have errors. ”
The people were stunned, many of them had seen so much money for the first time in their lives.
If all this is converted into copper coins, it is only a lot more than a million.
Are monks so rich?
To be honest, for a temple with a history of four or five hundred years, this amount of money is really not much.
Do you think monks only rely on incense money?
Apparently not, temples generally have a large amount of land, some donations from believers, some of them buy one after another, but they are all tax-free.
They also had other unknown properties, shop properties, and most importantly, money lending, which in this era was the equivalent of money banks, like the old Daishokokuji Temple in Tokyo and even issued banknotes such as treasury bills.
In fact, many of these temple properties have nothing to do with the rebellion case, but who made Juezhen already the actual controller of Bao'en Temple.
When Zhao Yun saw this money, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and if he wanted to cultivate a holy view, he had to scrape together, these bald donkeys were so rich.
It's not that the emperor is really poorer than these monks, but the expenses are large, and the money that comes in doesn't take long to flow out, and at this time, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty really began to be scarce.
At this moment, Zhao Yun came up with an idea, that is, to copy the entire temple in Lin'an, which is estimated to be able to withstand the taxes of the entire Great Song Dynasty for several years.
But just think about it, if you do this, there will be countless people who will rebel immediately.
If you can use this money to fill the inner treasury, it would be good, and you can always have a little more money.
Not only Zhao Yun had the idea of money, but even the officials of the household department were staring at the money.
The monarch and minister, who were dazzled by this large sum of money, almost forgot about the matter, until Hou Tao spoke, "The reason why these money and goods are used as evidence is because Juezhen and his party used money to bribe many officials to facilitate their plots. ”
"Next, the next batch of evidence."
