919: Rush to confess
In the past, the Great Song Dynasty often lost battles, and after each defeat, a lot of expenses were thrown there to make up. But what can the DPRK do if it has no money?
Loot! Therefore, the life of the people became more and more miserable, and every time they heard that they had lost the battle, they felt that their life had no hope, and the future was bleak.
How can such people identify with the Great Song Dynasty? It wasn't until the Great Song Dynasty gradually reversed the situation to the outside world, and the great victories again and again made the people of the world regain confidence in this Great Song Dynasty.
Only when you have confidence can you look forward to the future.
"I look forward to it!" Yan Shu helped the desk and was about to get up, but Qin Wei hurriedly went to help him.
"You've done a lot." Yan Shu patted the back of his hand, revealing some kindness,
"That cotton, so that the people of the world will not be afraid of the cold from now on, you have a great merit." Qin Wei helped him out of the front hall.
In the front yard, the gentry and officials who were arrested were all kneeling in front of them, and when they saw Yan Shu and Qin Wei coming out, they were all shouting grievances.
"Vision." Yan Shu's eyes were a little more bright, and he said: "If the people want to look forward to a good life, then the officials should have self-knowledge and live a hard life, so ...... These people must be dealt with strictly and quickly, so that the people can rest assured, and the officials of the world will be relieved! ββ¦β¦ After dealing with the affairs of Weishi County, Qin Wei immediately hurried back to Bianliang, and as soon as he entered the city, he went straight to the palace to see Zhao Zhen.
When His Majesty saw it, Zhao Zhen saw that his face was dark, probably all the way to the sun, so he asked: "Aiqing has worked hard, Yan Shu is okay?" β
"It's okay, it's just that the minister was worried that he would hurt himself on the way, so he came first."
"Okay." Zhao Zhen was most worried about Yan Shu's accident, and said with a smile: "How is this trip?" β
"The officials and gentry on the Wei side colluded, and some of them were desperate to be thugs, just waiting for this drought to lend money......
"Brute!" Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Call the Zaifu to come." As soon as Lu Yijian and the others came, they saw an angry emperor.
"Tell them about it." Zhao Zhen was obviously so angry that he didn't want to speak. Qin Wei told the whole story of this trip to the Wei family, and mentioned that the officials and gentry colluded and prepared to take advantage of the drought to lend usury, and Lu Yijian was already furious.
"Your Majesty, it's time to kill a group of people." LΓΌ Yijian's murderous suggestion was not supported. Pang Ji retorted: "Killing people will not solve the problem, but will bring trouble to Your Majesty." β
"That's right." This time it was Qin Wei who was opposed, which made Lu Yijian very depressed,
"Didn't you keep saying that the law should be respected, and that the doctors should be killed? How has it changed? Young people, it's no good to be unsteady. This is a ridicule of Qin Wei's lack of position, and the grass on the wall, which is in line with Lu Yijian's style.
Pang Ji immediately praised: "Qin Wei is becoming more and more stable and calm, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in a few years, he will be able to take on the heavy responsibility, after all, I am old, and I have to cultivate young people to take over." Zhao Zhen nodded, feeling that Qin Wei was a little more stable,
"It seems that you have grown a lot of time over time, so it can be seen that after having a child, this person will indeed change."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." Qin Wei said modestly: "The minister is still young, just forget it, at least you have to wait for ten years." "I ...... Pang Ji felt that a mouthful of old blood was blocked in his throat, but he couldn't spit it out, it was very uncomfortable, Zhao Zhen coughed dryly, and felt that Qin Wei's face was probably the thickest he had seen since he ascended the throne.
Decade? Ten years later, Qin Wei is only in his thirties, Zai Fu in his thirties...... Lu Yijian's cheeks trembled,
"You're only twenty-seven, aren't you?"
"Twenty-eight." Qin Wei said seriously: "Xiaguan's birthday is the ninth day of the second month...... shameless!"
The three Zaisuke cursed in their hearts almost at the same time. This Qin Wei said his birthday in front of everyone, and he had to send someone to congratulate him when the time came, this is another amount of money!
It was probably as if it was blown up by a red bomb, and the atmosphere in the hall was not very good. Zhao Zhen has not been the emperor for a long time, but he has seen a lot of various courtiers, whether it is the roaring Yan Shu or the wooden man Sima Guang, he feels that it is normal.
But what Qin Wei did was always beyond his expectations, making him feel that his experience was far from enough.
"Can you bring those people back?" If the Great Song Dynasty is a big family, then Zhao Zhen is the parent, and someone in this big family is digging the wall, which he can't tolerate.
"Brought it, I'll be there later."
"So fast?" Lu Yijian had been in the army, so he questioned: "The Wei family went to Bianliang for more than 100 miles, you came on horseback, they walked on foot, and it will be tomorrow." Qin Wei said seriously: "It should be like this, but those gentry and officials have repented, and they can't wait to rush to Bianliang to confess their sins to Your Majesty, so they didn't stop on their way." You should know that if you don't stop, you're not slow. "The war horses of the Great Song Dynasty are expensive, they can't be tossed too much along the way, and they have to replenish the forage from time to time to let them rest.
But people are different......
"But it's scorching heat." Lu Yijian felt that the so-called repentance was pure nonsense.
"They really repented." Qin Wei replied like this, someone came later, but it was an official who escorted the prisoner.
"Your Majesty, the prisoners have arrived."
"So fast?" Zhao Zhen felt that this was a bit mysterious.
"yes!" The official glanced at Qin Wei and said, "Those people are crying and shouting all the way to ask for guilt, but they can't stop them, and they are running wildly all the way...... Most of them fell on the road, and three people died. "This kind of weather is crazy, isn't it?
Zhao Zhen got up and said, "Go and have a look." Lu Yijian and the others followed, and after leaving the main hall, Lu Yijian said: "You are all a lie, but you can lie to Your Majesty, you are also bold, are you going to use this to offset the credit?" β
"Nope." Qin Wei said very honestly: "Yan Xianggong broke the leg of the magistrate of Weishi County, and he has to pay off his debts for a certain credit." Zhao Zhen's footsteps in front of him were stagnant, and then he said: "Good fight!" Even Lu Yijian praised: "Those beasts, you can't relieve your anger if you don't kill a few, but why did you object to killing them before?" That's not your style. This is something that Lu Yijian has never understood.
Qin Wei said with a pure face: "Lu Xianggong, a certain is a kind person, those officials and gentry still have room to save after all, besides, the Great Song Dynasty has its own laws, and His Majesty is here, how to deal with them is also a matter of the law and Your Majesty, and I dare not say anything." Zhao Zhen in front nodded slightly, feeling that Qin Wei was mature, although the price of such maturity was the loss of sharpness, but it was a good thing after all.
All the way to the Imperial City Division, as soon as he entered the gate, a group of men kneeling inside went crazy.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"
"Your Majesty, the ministers deserve death!"
"......" These people are sincere, and Zhao Zhen even saw one of them crying out of snot bubbles...... Consciousness is so high?
"Your Majesty, the sins of the ministers are unforgivable, and the sins of the ministers deserve death!" A group of officials and gentry rushed over, Zhao Zhen was instantly confused, and Ye Shuangchou was also confused.
When this group of prisoners was brought to the Imperial City Division, they were basically exhausted, but their spirits were extremely strong.
The most strange thing is that these prisoners went crazy after seeing the gate of the Imperial City Division open, and then rushed in frantically.
After coming in, some people cheered that they ran first, some people cheered that they were second, and the last people were like mourners.
And now when these prisoners saw Zhao Zhen, their eyes burst out with a wolf-like light, as if it was not the emperor, but the prey.
"Protect Your Majesty!" Ye Shuangchou was stunned, his reaction was slower, and he immediately rushed over, his speed was so fast that everyone only saw an afterimage.
The first person to commit was Wang Xiao, the county magistrate of Weishi County, who supported his hands with both hands, and whoever stepped forward and wanted to overtake him would wave his arms violently and hit him, and no one could stop him for a while.
Zhao Zhen didn't react, and Lu Yijian rushed over waving the wat board. He slapped a wat board on Wang Xiao's face, thinking that this guy would definitely faint, but who would have thought that Wang Xiao would cry and said, "I want to be the first...... Pingyang Gong, today is the first to enter the Imperial City...... "He was lying on the ground, his head raised, his right hand stretched forward, looking particularly miserable.
Ye Shuangchou arrived, picked Wang Xiao up with one hand, and then threw him casually, like a scarecrow.
Qin Wei covered his face, unable to bear to see Wang Xiao's miserable condition.
"Stop!" Ye Shuangchou stood in front, that skeletal face really had the effect of persuading him to retreat, and he could be a hundred thousand soldiers.
The prisoners stopped, and some people said happily: "Pingyang Gong, the villain is in front today!" There are villains in the top thirty, look! β
"Pingyang Gong, the villain is also in front."
"They lie! They're cheating! A man rushed over frantically, was kicked down by Ye Shuangchou, and fell to the ground crying freely
"Pingyang Gong, a certain one is in front, but they knocked him down......" This person cried extremely sadly, Zhao Zhen muttered: "What's wrong?" He looked at Qin Wei,
"That's what you said...... Repented? No, it's crying and shouting for confession. Fan Zhongyan said with dizzy eyes: "Your Majesty, you are crying and shouting, and the ministers have heard it." Lu Yijian's cheeks twitched, and he said, "You said that you are philanthropists, and you also said that these people have room for salvation...... Why is that? Crying and shouting, this Qin Wei is not wrong.
But these criminals looked like they were crazy, and they were arguing about what ranking, which showed that Qin Wei was doing something behind his back.
If Zhao Zhen wants to come and see it in person on a whim today, this matter will probably not make much trouble. Qin Wei said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, these people refuse to go, they are all begging for death and life in the Wei family, you know, the minister is a philanthropic person, and he can't see these things the most, so he promised them that the first thirty people who entered the Imperial City Division will be dealt with according to the charges they should have......" Zhao Zhenquan understood, the five fingers of his right hand kept flicking open and closing, and a rare hideous color appeared in his eyes.
The first thirty people were dealt with according to the law, but such conditions could still make these prisoners run wild for more than a hundred miles in dog days, and the death of the three people could not stop their enthusiasm.
Then the people who are not thirty criminals are naturally self-evident, and they are going to be hacked by Qin.
