Chapter 0233: Amnesty to the World
At the court meeting, Shi Min said in front of Shi Zun and his ministers: "Your Majesty, three days ago, the case of the assassination of the minister, the case of Empress Zhang's poisoning, and the case of Shi Ning, Shi Kun, Er Zhurong and others plotting rebellion have now come to light. ”
"Minister's request."
Shi Min magnificently took out an edict that had been prepared a long time ago, and read: "Wang Luan, the general of the Right Military Guard, served Meng Zhun in the middle of the case, participated in the rebellion case, and there were 26 people involved in the case, and the ministers asked Your Majesty to destroy Wang Luan and Meng Zhun to set an example!" ”
"Your Majesty! Minister...... The minister is wronged! At this moment, Wang Luan and Meng Zhun panicked and shouted grievances one after another.
Shi Min didn't care so much, and waved his big hand: "Someone!" Take it down and go to death row! ”
Immediately, several warriors in front of the palace rushed in, grabbed Meng Zhun and the others involuntarily, and dragged them out like dead dogs.
"Your Majesty! The minister is wronged! This is all Shi Min's frame-up! ”
"We are all acting according to orders, Your Majesty!"
Shi Zun's face was very pale, he knew that there would be such a thing, but when it really came, Shi Zun was still a little at a loss.
Shi Min read the edict again: "In addition, Guanglu Doctor Shen Bian and Neishi Shen Zhong participated in the case of poisoning Empress Zhang, and the evidence is conclusive. Please ask Your Majesty to exterminate his three clans to set an example! ”
Hearing this, Shen Zhong and Shen Bian father and son had a fight, and they were so frightened that they collapsed and collapsed to the ground with a pale face.
They know that they are finished, and the Shen family is finished!
What is the danger of adding to the sin?
Shi Min is now iron-hearted to eradicate Shi Zun's forces in the court, and iron-hearted to eradicate the forces of the people in the court, and fabricate a crime at will, Shi Zun is greedy for life and afraid of death, like an echo worm, how can they not die?
Shi Min is not a son now, but he is better than a son!
Immediately afterwards, every minister whose name was read by Shi Min was taken down and put on death row.
In the DPRK, almost one-third of the ministers were dismissed or beheaded.
After doing this, Shi Min retreated, and just when the ministers thought that Shi Min was going to stop for a while, Situ Wenwen of Shi Min's family stood up.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"
“。”
"The country has experienced several wars and serious internal friction, and when the first emperor was in power, he was reckless in his military force, did not care about the people's strength, and wantonly built palaces and Taiwan views, regardless of his own selfish desires. As a result, the hearts of my Great Zhao people were scattered, rebellions broke out, and the people of Li were complaining and miserable! Now that the people are separated, the people are in urgent need of upside down! ”
"Your Majesty has the heart of making great efforts to govern the country, the ambition to revitalize the society, and the intention of unification, you should be sympathetic to the people's strength, persuade agriculture and mulberry, and restore development, so as to achieve the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army."
Shi Zun was silent for a moment: "Qing has a good way to govern the country, but it doesn't matter." ”
"Governing the country is the first thing in people's livelihood. The people suffer from hard labor and harsh taxation, and should be lightly taxed. Minister, I beg your majesty to stop the construction of the two palaces of Shanglin Yuan, Luoyang and Chang'an, and at the same time abolish all servitude, and within three years, no more servitude will be levied! ”
This was obviously instructed by Shi Min! He didn't come forward well, so he let the article act as a pioneer!
"King Wei, you ...... What do you think? Shi Zun didn't make his own claim, but asked Shi Min.
Shi Min said: "Your Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, and he should have been granted amnesty. There is the virtue of a good life, and labor is an extremely draining thing, unless it is a last resort. It is ridiculous to be conscripted for the sake of pleasure! Therefore, the minister agrees with Situ Darao's advice and asks His Majesty for permission. ”
"Okay." Shi Zun nodded in agreement.
Shi Min said again: "In addition, Your Majesty, the labor is hard and should be compensated. Now the treasury is not tight (thanks to Shi Hu's excavation of the mausoleum of the previous dynasty), so the minister believes that five yuan per person can be issued as their entanglement on the way home and their wages over the years, so as to show the righteousness of His Majesty and the kindness of the court! As for those who die in hard labor, they should be given bereavement pensions and bereavement benefits to their families! ”
Hearing this, Shi Zun bowed his head and said: "It's all up to King Wei to decide." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
……
Upper Forest Garden.
Shanglin Yuan was not completed, and the construction of the mausoleum of Emperor Wu Shi Hu was also started.
Here, it was still a hot scene, and the laborers carried wood, stones, and slurry back and forth, and worked there in thin clothes against the bitter cold wind. If there are lazy people, or those who are overwhelmed and fall to the labor, they will be whipped a few times by the soldiers who oversee the work, and they will be scolded a few times.
I don't know when a day like this is a head!
Huang Yi is one of these thousands of laborers!
Huang Yi is in his early twenties, a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou, from a poor family, with an old mother, a wife, and a son who has not long fallen to the ground.
It is not easy for those who participate in labor to return alive, and if they can still be healthy after returning, it is even less pitiful! This heavy labor is extremely physically exhausting, and there are people who are exhausted to death, and after returning, if they can't make up for it, it is estimated that they will die young!
Huang Yi has seen many such people.
"Smack!" A whip was whipped on Huang Yi's back, and it hurt hotly!
Huang Yi, who had just lost his mind, was stunned for a moment, and then glared angrily at the soldier who beat him!
"Stare at what you want! What about you! It's not like if you don't have anything to eat today, so you have to work quickly! ”
"Smack!" Two more whips.
Huang Yi's temper and anger were simply unbearable, and he went up and grabbed the whip of the soldier, and he was about to move!
Unexpectedly, a half-sized old man passing by grabbed his wrist.
The old man shook his head, motioning for him not to act rashly.
"Mother's Hippie! How dare you resist! The soldier was annoyed and ashamed, and slapped Huang Yi on his body with a few whips, which was still not relieved, and kicked him to the ground again, stepping on him a few times!
Huang Yidu suffered it alive!
At this moment, a skinny man with a vegetable face next to him collapsed, without warning.
The soldier next to him was startled, and went up to try his nose and mouth: "I'm still alive, and I'm still angry." ”
One of the overseers was brought here, and the chief of the overseer was brought here, and he looked arrogant, picking at his nose, and looking disapproving: "Carry it to the mass grave!" We don't have a doctor here! ”
In this way, the poor man was carried to the mass grave.
At lunchtime, the laborers lined up one after another, carrying broken bowls to eat and cook. Instead of making rice, it is better to make porridge.
Huang Yi looked at his bowl, only the few vegetable leaves were floating, the porridge was very thin, and it was estimated that there would be no more after a mouthful!
At this time, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from the door of Shanglin Yuan, and it was a team of hundreds of soldiers rushing in.
"Hurry up! Concentrate all the labor on the construction site! I was going to read the decree in front of them! ”
The leader was Wei Wei Li Xin, who flew off his horse and directly explained this to the person in charge of the construction site, and then climbed to the high platform.
All the laborers were confused and unconscious, but under the drive of the soldiers, they ate porridge one after another, and even the laborers who did not get the porridge were helplessly driven over, crowded together like chickens and ducks.
The laborer who had never eaten porridge looked at Li Xin with resentment on his face, as if he wanted to hear him come up with a reason.
Li Xin opened the holy decree and read it one by one: "Flattery, the emperor's edict said, I will inherit the unification and should be amnesty." The first emperor abused the people's power and repeatedly built palace gardens, and I can't agree with it. Therefore, there was an amnesty for hard labor, and it was decreed that labor should not be levied for three years! The construction of palaces and gardens in various places has been stopped, and in order to compensate for the labor, each laborer should be paid five times and five times the salary, and ten times for the victims! Choose them to return to their hometown now! Chin this! ”
“……”
There was silence in the crowd at first, deathly silence, and then suddenly there was a strong uproar, a noise!
"It's really fake! Your Majesty will forgive us? Also pay for the coils and wages back home? That's five dollars! Five dollars per person! ”
"Haha! Pinch me! Let's see if I hurt! ”
"Ahh It hurts! That's right! That's right! We're not dreaming! It's true! We can finally go home! Finally, I can get rid of this daily hard labor! ”
"Go home! Go home! ”
Huang Yi was also in tears, a seven-foot-tall man actually cried, and his eyes were red from crying. However, the laborers present all felt the same way, and there were not a few people who cried with joy!
Many even knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live Your Majesty!" Long live the Great Zhao Kingdom! Hooray! ”
When the laborers were quiet, Li Xin shouted again: "Everyone, you can get forgiveness, this is all the credit of the King of Wei!" If there is no King of Wei, there will be no day when you will be freed from the sea of suffering! ”
Hearing this, the laborers present were a little confused.
"King Wei, who is this King of Wei?" Obviously, this is a closed day of hard labor.
Huang Yidao: "For King Wei, I still have a little bit of it. This is the hero of our Han family! King Wei came from the begging army, and King Wei's father, Lord Ran Zhan, was once a captain of the Hanoi beggar army! According to reports, the King of Wei has been in a high position with his great military exploits and has been worshiped as the prime minister! Everyone knows what kind of people the Shi family children are! Greedy, brutal, and like luxury, they don't look at us as adults at all! ”
"In my opinion, it must be King Wei who controlled Shi Zun and asked him to release us and go home!"
"Long live King Wei!"
"Hooray! Long live King Wei! ”
I don't know who shouted it first, but that's what everyone shouted in the end anyway.
Li Xin was very satisfied with this, and then he had the laborers line up and distribute the money brought from the treasury to them one by one.
