Chapter 486: Rebellion is only for the Nine Clans (16)
On the third day of November, in the Zichen Palace.
Hundreds of officials gathered in the palace and shouted long live.
Immediately afterwards, the general manager of Ouchi said that there was something to play and nothing to retreat from the court in accordance with the previous practice.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!
Seven days ago, Yin of Xiping Prefecture reported that there were nearly 100,000 members of the White Lotus Sect who gathered in Dongyang County to preach the presence of the White Lotus Virgin.
In addition, Princess Jiahe is also involved.
Appears as the Virgin of the White Lotus.
and trumpeted that she could not bear the suffering of the people in the world, and she could not bear the oppression of the women who were sisters in the world.
Therefore, he specially came to Fan and built a daughter country overseas.
She is the lord of the daughter country, and all the officials and nobles in the country are women, but she does not discriminate against men, if she has the ability and approves of the policy of governing the country of her daughter, she can also be an official.
I hope that people with lofty ideals will join her in the grand event.
He also hopes that the poor people will enter the kingdom of their daughters.
At the same time, many benefits were promised, such as the daughter country, where everyone can go to school and read for free. Regardless of men, women, young and old, with or without disabilities, they can be allocated 20 acres of land, exempted from all taxes such as agricultural tax and poll tax, and only collect commercial tax, enterprise tax, personal income tax, etc., anyway, the poor do not have to pay taxes.
It's quite demagogic.
Now that the entire Xiping Mansion has been completely chaotic, hundreds of people dragged their families and left, and the White Lotus Sect also took the opportunity to attack the mansion, attacking all the Qinglou and Yaxing in the entire Xiping Mansion, killing the old bustard inside, the head of the Yaxing, and even the master behind it, and taking away all the lowly slaves.
It is estimated that nearly one-third of the account was lost.
I heard that they are now preparing to attack the Xiping Palace.
The governor of Xiping Province hopes to send troops to rescue."
At the beginning of the court meeting, the military department Shangshu suddenly put down such a sensational news, and the shocked Manchu Dynasty civil and military were silent for a while, and after a long time, Emperor Xuanwu calmed down a little, and asked with a rather complicated emotion:
"It seems that your previous guess was correct, this aunt and grandmother of mine do have a connection with the White Lotus Sect, and even have a high status, and they have directly become the Holy Mother of the White Lotus.
I also want to build a daughter country!
But are you all rubbish?
A year has passed, but instead of exterminating the White Lotus Sect, I have not arrested my aunt and grandmother.
What have you done over the course of the year?
The White Lotus Sect is being suppressed more and more, and there are more and more victims in various places, and even the White Lotus Holy Mother has now begun to openly build a country, although it has not been established in the territory of my Great Qian, but this is also a provocation, what can you waste do?"
Speaking of this, Emperor Xuanwu, who had already stood up from the dragon chair, was undoubtedly very angry, and the next second he walked down from above, pointed to the nose of the Hubu Shangshu and asked: Look at Shula
"Are the people of Xiping Mansion so easily deceived?
Don't you all say that the people are very reluctant to leave their hometowns, and I haven't heard of any major disasters and famines in Xiping Mansion, why are so many people willing to leave their hometowns and follow the White Lotus Sect to leave with them?
Didn't you appoint the magistrate?"
Obviously, Emperor Xuanwu felt that the local people were so easy to be bewitched because of the local officials, but those local officials were far away from the emperor and could not be scolded for the time being, so they could only investigate the bosses who assigned or appointed those officials.
That is, the leader of the household department, the household department is still the book.
Tobe Shangshu was silent for a while before raising his head and said:
"Your Majesty, a few years ago, the minister had a twist, impeached the king of Xiping to annex the land, and forced the people to death, at that time, he was the first emperor to supervise the country, and he did not ask about this matter, but only instructed not to ask these four words, at that time you were not involved in court politics, you may not know, then I am here, and then I will tell you again, I played the specific matter of impeachment.
To put it simply, the king of Xiping annexed two-thirds of the registered land in the entire Xiping Mansion, and it was basically fertile land, and about eighty percent of the remaining one-third of the land was in the hands of other officials or gentry.
The surplus land is owned by ordinary civilians.
And the officer
Neither the scholars nor the king of Xiping had to pay taxes.
Guess who pays the annual taxes?
And that was the data from a few years ago, and now I don't know how to do it, because since the first emperor approved Mo Essentials, the minister has not continued to investigate."
Hubu Shangshu's words are very clear, the reason why the people of Xiping Mansion are so easily bewitched and so easy to leave their hometown is undoubtedly because they don't have their own land at all, and if they go deeper, it is the responsibility of the king of Xiping, why don't you care that it is your father's responsibility, it is your father, let him leave it alone.
He can't be blamed for this.
Why accuse him?
Then, Emperor Xuanwu was really choked by these words at this time, after all, he couldn't accuse his own father in front of all the ministers, or refer to the deer as a horse, not to say that everything was to blame on the Hubu Shangshu, and he did not violate the will of the first emperor.
What to insist on impeachment or continue the investigation?
In addition, the vassal kings in various places are indeed a little difficult to deal with, and they affect the whole body, so Emperor Xuanwu can only sigh in the end, pretend to be stupid and skip the matter, and then continue to discuss the suppression of the White Lotus Sect.
As for the related matters concerning the king of Xiping.
It was after the next dynasty that several cabinet ministers and absolute cronies of Emperor Xuanwu were recruited, and they held a small meeting in private, and then finally made a specific decision.
What is the decision? It's just dragging ......
The process of suppressing the generals and soldiers of the White Lotus Sect should be delayed a little, including the logistics reserve and military rations, etc., and it does not need to be delayed for too long, just drag it to the Xiping Wangfu and be attacked by the White Lotus Sect, and it is best to wait until the entire family of the Xiping King is killed by the White Lotus Sect.
When the time comes, if you go to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, you will not only be able to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, but you will also be able to take the King of Xiping with you.
This blood-sucking waste on the imperial court.
Fill the treasury and increase the land of the Imperial Village.
......
Although Qu Jie didn't know the plans of the imperial court, she didn't really want to tear her face directly with the imperial court at this time, and then hundreds of thousands, millions of troops confronted each other, resulting in heavy losses in the population, so she assisted the White Lotus Sect to destroy the Xiping Palace, and by the way, after all the officials and gentry in the entire Xiping Mansion, and even the family were all robbed and wiped out, she immediately withdrew with a large number of people.
At the same time, those who successfully persuaded the White Lotus Sect to withdraw with her, change places, and continue to come.
As for the people of the White Lotus Sect, why did they listen to persuasion?
Of course, that's because when the White Lotus Sect cooperated with her to engage in the White Lotus Holy Mother's Mortality, Qu Jie gave the White Lotus Sect a big surprise, although the White Lotus Sect actually has some unknown skills in this regard, but those skills obviously can't be compared with Qu Jie, after all, they don't even have illusions, that is, they engage in some fraud.
Qu Jie's holographic projection, taking out something like a lotus-shaped flying machine, is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
So wait for the White Lotus Holy Mother to finish this set.
The elders of the White Lotus Holy Maiden, although they are still in charge of the White Lotus Sect in name, their words are far less good than Qu Jie's words, not to mention ordinary believers, even some high-level people with more devout beliefs, at this time, they also listen to Qu Jie's words more, and it is easy to remove the Holy Maiden.
Stealing chickens properly does not make rice.
Most of the power was directly taken away by Qu Jie.
In this case, Qu Jie's words were no different from the supreme order, which was basically equivalent to an oracle, so she could naturally easily manipulate the White Lotus Sect to obey her orders.
After finishing the work, the looting and the population quickly withdrew.
Continue in a different place.
