Chapter 303 Proud Soldiers
Yang Ming whipped Shi Ji, also to calm people's hearts, although He Ruobi died, the rest of the mess was not easy to deal with.
And dying so undignified will have a great impact on the military, and once someone comes out to hold the grievances, it will be a headache.
Only a fool would insult He Ruobi's corpse.
Yang Ming didn't expect that Yu Wenshi was just a fool, weren't you very good in the Tang Dynasty? Why does it seem that the brain is not bright at all? Is it because he is still young and has not experienced the beating of society?
In that case, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of society.
The miserable wail of Shi Ji was in his ears, but no one spoke for him, and no one sympathized with him.
Who made his father Yu Wenshu a lonely minister? Who caused his actions to cause the wrath of the people?
"Give the body to Song Guogong's son and bury it," Yang Ming sighed, raised his hand to beckon Yang Wang over, and said in his ear:
"How the holy decree is explained, do what you do, as for the female scroll, let them all be dismissed."
Yang Wang nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, the ministers will handle it properly." ”
In fact, almost everyone thought that Yang Ming would stay to preside over the money, but to their surprise, Yang Ming simply explained a few words about the aftermath and left.
In the Great Sui, every raid on the convict's mansion is a good opportunity to divide the money, and it is an unspoken rule that everyone tacitly knows, and the emperor also knows it.
So many times, the people sent by the emperor to raid the house are generally his own henchmen, just to give him a chance to fill his own pocket and make some extra money.
When Liu Chang's house was copied, the person in charge was Yang Yue, didn't this old boy swallow a copy privately and give Yang Ming a share?
But today, there are too many people involved, Zuo Xiaowei Shixiang, Yu Wenshi, as well as Dali Temple, Criminal Department, Yushitai, how can so many people be divided?
Then everyone is not divided.
Yang Wang didn't care whether he shared the money or not, but he knew that Shi Xiang cared, so he pulled the other party aside and whispered:
"You lost too much last night, and when you count the warehouse, you can watch and get some by yourself, and I won't record it here."
Shi Xiang said with a grateful face: "I don't take some points, I can't compensate the soldiers who died in battle, and the money allocated from above is not much, you know." ”
"Naturally, I know that King Qin is fair, even if he knows, he won't say anything about you," Yang Wang said: "As for the rest, it will be recorded in full, handed over to the treasury and sealed, and you will let people take it at night, and don't move around during the day." ”
Shi Xiang nodded: "I understand this." ”
In the military, the first thing you have to learn is to meet the top, and the second is to appease the bottom, as long as these two points are done well, there will be no problems.
The guards in the military palace are all big and coarse, and they can't pick out a few literate people, don't talk to them about any rules, talk about money.
If people work hard for you, if you don't get benefits, you won't work so hard next time.
Soldiers, is raised by money, no money can not raise soldiers, don't think that the sixteen guards are all eating the treasury, in fact, only the guards of the two guards and four mansions have a fortune, except for a few people with the establishment, are ordinary people, the state does not give you money, but the state gives you land.
The Great Sui is a government military system, characterized by the integration of soldiers and peasants, soldiers in wartime, farmers in leisure time, and agricultural training.
In the entire Guanzhong region, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, if they eat the national treasury, they can eat the country down, so only the left and right reserve mansions, that is, the left and right Yulin guards in the past, plus the left and right guards who are responsible for guarding the imperial city and the left and right prison gates who watch the gate, can eat Yulu, because these people are to protect the emperor.
The rest is called self-support, because each military government has its own public land, but these fields can't support so many soldiers, so you have to find a way to make some money yourself, and the emperor also turns a blind eye to this.
Shi Xiang took the money, not for himself, or it can be said that it was for himself, because he didn't take money from He Ruobi's family property, so he had to pay for the soldiers himself.
The soldiers in Guanzhong are all proud soldiers, according to the pension standard of the Great Sui, people don't buy it, you have to exceed the standard pension.
For example, in other places, the death pension can be explained ten times, but not in Guanzhong, at least it must be doubled, this is an unwritten rule.
Five thousand soldiers, in addition to the loss of ordnance, more than two hundred died, seven or eight hundred wounded, these are all money.
Fortunately, these money are not a dime a dime in He Ruobi's family property.
On the Song State Mansion, there were eighteen cellars, and thirteen were for hiding money, an astonishing amount, which scared Yang Wang.
On the side of the Qin Palace, Pei Xizai stayed, found Yang Wang, the person in charge of copying the house appointed by Yang Ming, and whispered:
"Among the female scrolls, there is a personal scroll of Qin Wang Concubine, and Yang Shaoqing's subordinates are merciful."
Yang Wang was stunned and said: "I know who you are talking about, but this woman has a son, and according to His Majesty's will, she must be exiled." ”
Pei Xizai said: "There are also good places to go in exile, just go to the south of the Yangtze River." ”
Jiangnan is Chen Shuyi's hometown, which cannot be regarded as exile, the exile of the Great Sui is generally to Lingnan, but during the Kaihuang period, there is a precedent, that is, the difficult brother Du Yan Wei Fuhei was exiled to Jiangnan by Yang Jian.
Pei Xizai didn't say that this was what King Qin meant, but Yang Wang knew it in his heart, so he nodded happily and said:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
People of He Ruobi's level are naturally very involved in the involvement, and in his concubine's room, there is also Jing Zhaowei's, so the Wei family will also rush to protect him when he hears the news.
His son's wife is still Bo Lingcui, Luoyang Yuan, and Hedong Liu, these are all people who want to be protected.
As for his two brothers, they have been dismissed from office, cut down to the people, and driven out of Beijing.
.......
The news of He Ruobi's ambush soon spread throughout the Jingshi, this is a big event, a big thing in a big thing,
Hundreds of officials have already made trouble in the Qin Palace, kneeling outside the gate of the mansion, wanting to avenge He Ruobi.
Everyone is dead, and the ending has been decided, so they can only avenge their grievances now, hoping that they can ask He Ruobi for a nickname and keep their heirs, so as not to go down in history as a criminal minister.
That's why, killing He Ruobi must be fast.
If you are slow, you want to kill again, but it is not so easy.
The movement outside the Qin Palace, there was a lot of noise, Shi Xiang was a smart person, so he personally led a thousand soldiers to the gate of the palace to drive people, or hug or lift, in short, these people must be evacuated as soon as possible, otherwise the impact will not be good.
Fortunately, in Yirenfang, where the Qin Wangfu is located, there are no lively people, and Wu Houwei guards guard each exit and do not allow anyone to enter, so it is not easy for outsiders to know about the things here.
Yang Ming's deal with Yu Wenshi this time is over, he will write clearly in Yang Guang's report, punishing Shi Ji because he is disrespectful to the deceased, Dad will not protect Shi Ji, because Yang Guang will not allow anyone to insult He Ruobi's body.
Otherwise, the courtiers will be cold.
On the right side of the guard, he still refused to open the door, and Shi Wansui's face was shattered.
So Shi Wansui directly knocked on the door, and Wang Yue, the main general of the battalion, did not dare to shoot arrows outside, so two groups of people opened a door and started a tug-of-war, hitting the outside and topping the inside.
Broken door? It doesn't matter, there are already heavy obstacles piled up inside, and I really can't get in for a while.
And Shi Wansui's side, he can't come hard, otherwise the two sides will fight directly.
The eldest grandson Cheng's voice was almost hoarse, and Wang Yue just didn't admit it, or that sentence, if he couldn't see King Qin and Song Guogong, he would definitely not open the door.
On the tower of the city, Wang Yue shouted downward:
"Taiping Gong, your old man's house is good, the camp is not far from Jingshi, the last general doesn't know the situation, and he doesn't dare to open the door for your old man without authorization, you go to invite the King of Qin, or Song Guogong, as long as they come, they will go down to you to ask for your guilt."
Shi Wansui didn't answer, it was still hard to hit.
But the resistance inside was too ruthless, and nearly a thousand people were in it, and they couldn't get in at all.
The eldest grandson Cheng also looked helpless, rode a horse to Shi Wansui's side, and said:
"For the sake of safety, let's invite King Qin, if it goes on like this, as long as someone misses and shoots an arrow, the scene will be out of control."
Shi Wansui was still silent, and the eldest grandson knew that he couldn't let go, but in fact, he acquiesced, so he hurriedly sent someone back to Beijing to inform King Qin.
This Wang Yue, who participated in the battle of Sui to destroy Chen, has always been He Ruobi's confidant and favorite general, and he also has the title of Shangkai Fuyi and the three divisions, and he is also famous for his toughness in the army.
】
In normal times, he would definitely live long live, but in this situation, does it matter if face is fatal?
Why did they come to the camp of the right guard? And there is only the order of the King of Qin to transfer troops? What about Song Guogong? It can't be an accident, right?
If something happened to Song Guogong, Wang Yue knew that he would not be able to escape being liquidated.
After Yang Ming received the news, he was also helpless, thinking that this Wang Yue was really cautious enough, he didn't recognize his warrant, so he had to see someone?
He hopes that this matter will be resolved as soon as possible, because if it is solved quickly, the limelight will pass quickly, and after a long time, people will forget about it.
So he personally took two thousand parts out of the city and rushed to the camp of the right guard.
Outside the city gate, Fang Xuanling shouted towards it:
"He Ruobi has been ambushed, the King of Qin is here, open the city gate quickly."
Wang Yue's face was like ashes, and in an instant, he saw Yang Ming, and confirmed that it was the King of Qin.
So he ordered to clear the obstacles at the city gates, and he himself personally led the generals out of the city to plead guilty.
"The last general, Wang Yue, meet His Highness," Wang Yue's voice choked up, and he would not believe it if someone else told him that Song Guogong was dead, but the King of Qin was here, and the matter was already very clear.
Yang Ming sat on the horse and nodded: "The eldest grandson holds the warrant of this king, why don't you recognize it?" ”
"The stakes are so important that the general will not dare to admit it," Wang Yue said.
Yang Ming said: "Can you be guilty? ”
"The last general is guilty," Wang Yue raised his head and cried: "The last general knows what will happen next, so please Your Highness for the sake of Song Guogong to destroy Chen for the Great Sui, let everyone go, and the last general is willing to take the blame alone." ”
This person saw very clearly that as soon as He Ruobi died, his henchmen in the right guard would inevitably be liquidated, and none of them would be left.
This kind of reckoning is not just killing one, but the kind that harms the family.
For example, Wang Yue, he will also be decapitated on a charge, and at the same time, his family will be exiled, and his relatives will be implicated.
As soon as these words came out, dozens of generals kneeling behind him also took the initiative to plead guilty, hoping that Yang Ming would raise his noble hand and not implicate their family scrolls.
He Ruobi's strict management of the army can be seen, it is a pity that these elite soldiers who are not afraid of death are fierce.
Before Yang Ming could speak, Wang Yue suddenly got up, pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, put it across his neck, and raised his head and said:
"The last general has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has only served the general in his life, and this crime is only for me, the generals in the camp, and I hope that His Royal Highness will be lightly punished."
After that, Wang Yue wiped the knife, and the corpse was on the spot.
Seeing this, others also drew their knives one after another, in their opinion, taking the initiative to beg for death, maybe there is still a glimmer of life to save their families.
Yang Ming shouted angrily: "Stop!" I think who dares to move again? ”
His mighty shout still worked, and the generals stopped their movements one after another and looked at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "This king doesn't want to implicate the Taizhong, Wang Yue could not have died, but he was too anxious. ”
This sentence is actually used to appease everyone, Wang Yue will definitely die, because it is he who put Zheng Yuanshou and Wei Baoluan in the air, as soon as He Ruobi dies, without a backer, Zheng Yuanshou and Wei Baoluan will be the first to take him.
And if Yang Ming didn't kill a few people in the right guard, it would be difficult for Daddy Yang Guang to explain, and now Wang Yue took the initiative to kill himself, but instead fulfilled Yang Ming.
Shi Wansui and Changsun Cheng originally intended to help the right Hou Wei generals intercede, but they saw that Yang Ming had the intention of raising his noble hand, so there was no need to say the words of intercession, and they had to let Yang Ming say it.
"Come on, unload their blades and take care of them," as he spoke, Yang Ming glanced at the corpse on the ground: "Burial General Wang, family members are compassionate to them." ”
"Xie Qin, King Kai'en!"
The generals knelt on the ground one after another and shouted to King Qin, because they had already guessed that if King Qin let Wang Yue's family go, then their family should be fine.
Yang Ming would not risk entering the camp of the military mansion, which had not yet stabilized, so he asked Shi Wansui and Changsun Cheng to go in and take over, and he returned to Jingshi.
He Ruobi was ambushed, and the right guard was temporarily suppressed, but the people's hearts were already in chaos, and someone from the Yushitai brought news, and many people in Beijing took the initiative to mourn He Ruobi.
What is prestige, this is what it is.
Don't look at He Ruobi's battle to destroy Chen, he hasn't done anything serious, but the prestige of the people has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and part of it was deliberately created by Yang Jian for him back then.
Public opinion cannot be forced, it can only be taken by nature, and time will turn it away.
After returning to the palace, Yang Ming still drafted a report, and he would play it truthfully after the whole thing, but there were those generals left in the right guard, and Yang Ming planned to protect them, because a large part of them were really innocent.
In fact, strictly speaking, He Ruobi is also innocent.
This is the death of the king's minister.
Zheng Yuanshou and Wei Baoluan can be regarded as relieved, but there is still a problem in front of them, the people who are waiting for the right guard are not convinced by them, and Yang Ming is unwilling to kill and liquidate He Ruobi's old generals, they will still be struggling in the right guard in the future.
So the two of them came to Yang Ming together, hoping that Yang Ming would raise the butcher knife he had put down again.
Is it possible?
Put down the butcher's knife, I have become a Buddha on the ground, a Buddha, I don't kill people.
