Liu Yu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "It turns out that you have always had objections to the way I handled it last time, but why didn't you just say it directly at that time?"
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face jumped slightly, and his eyes were squeezed into slits: "How can I tell you this? Do you want me to recommend that all five tigers of the Shen family be killed? In that case, you Although I have upheld the national law, I will lose the military morale and the support of the Jingba brothers, which will only make things worse. Therefore, I can only settle for the next best thing and make some concessions to the noble families on other matters. You're welcome. If you don’t abide by this rule, you can’t ask others to abide by it.”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Maybe I did have something wrong with the handling of this matter, but in the final analysis, this is not the chaos of Tianshi Dao, which messed up the land of Wu and created a lot of hatred, because the national law cannot To seek revenge, can we only rely on this blood-relative revenge model? I checked how similar cases were handled in the past. During the Wangdun Rebellion, Wu local tycoon Shen Chong rebelled and attached himself to Wangdun. After being betrayed and executed, his son Shen Jin later avenged his father and killed the whole family of the enemy who betrayed his father. His nature was almost exactly the same as that of the five tigers of the Shen family. The national law did not execute Shen Jin, but allowed him to perform meritorious service and stand alone. In the lonely city of Luoyang, Shen Jin finally sacrificed his life for the country, clearing away the shame of his father's rebellion and his own crime. As a result, the Shen family was pardoned, and his descendants all became officials. He became a legend of the generation. Why can the previous generation be able to ,I can not?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Because this kind of decision was not made by a general who crossed the court, but was made by the DPRK and the Central Government after a consensus. If the matter of pardoning the Shen Five Tigers was reported by Wuxing County, the DPRK and the Central Government would make such a consensus decision. That's fine, but as their commander in the military, you are supposed to only be able to take care of their affairs in the military. You can't take care of people who commit crimes and kill people after returning to their hometown. How to punish the case itself is not The most important thing is that even if it is left to Wuxing County and the imperial court to judge, they will most likely do what you want. However, if you do not leave it to them, but you handle it yourself as the general of the army, then there will be a big problem. "
Liu Yu sighed: "In this way, it is indeed my fault. The thing happened suddenly, and you were not in the shogunate at the time. There was something wrong with my handling, and I couldn't even remedy it. So, now these children of the aristocratic families are here Was Wu Di’s evil deeds caused by this incident?”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "The crimes committed by the children of these aristocratic families are just like the murderous revenge of the Shen family five tigers. They are uncontrollable. It is not that the heads of the major families intentionally let them do this, but because they were close to each other before. We have been living like this for hundreds of years. When we return to our old home in Wuxing, we cannot suddenly become law-abiding. Some things are just human nature. They, the high-ranking families, treat the villagers and tenant farmers as cattle and sheep. They have nothing to do with it. Looking at it as an adult, in such a large land of Wu, with hundreds of thousands of villagers, it is normal for some cases to occur. If everyone can be like you and be polite and caring to the villagers like Mrs. Xie, there is no need for national laws. Where are the constraints?”
Liu Yu's brows gradually wrinkled: "So, to deal with the children of these aristocratic families, we can't just rely on national laws, but also have to explain and even discuss the intensity of punishment with the heads and managers of these aristocratic families. This is what you will do afterwards.
Compromises and concessions made?”
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Yes, you will definitely not like such a deal. The ideas of the heads of these aristocratic families are different from yours. In fact, they don't care too much about the children of these side sects and tributaries.
Life or death, as long as he is not his own son or grandson, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive. However, if the execution of several children of aristocratic families ruins the reputation of the aristocratic family in Wudi, destroys their century-old signboard, and makes the bankers
The tenant farmers will look down upon them and even resist taxes and payments in the future, which they will definitely not allow."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "It's ridiculous. They couldn't even defend Wu. They were beaten to pieces by Tianshi Dao. How many nephews died in the turmoil. Doesn't this mean that their prestige has been ruined?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "That's different. Tianshi Dao is a rebellion and a traitor, and you are now the legal master of the court. If you want to suppress a high-ranking family, your people can be exempted from crime and are above the national law.
Above, and their children who break the law must be dealt with according to the national law, it means that the aristocratic family is already under you, a Jingkou warrior, and soon the Jingba Party will overwhelm all the aristocratic families. By then, not only these bankers and tenants
, even the disciples and former officials who are attached to the noble families will switch to you. In other words, now you only surpass the noble families in terms of status, but in fact you still need them, but if the hearts of the people turn to the Beijing Eighth Party
, it is only a matter of time before the noble family will be completely defeated and lose power."
Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief: "If you explain it this way, I will understand everything. I made a mistake in handling it, so the noble family did not allow us to use national law to deal with these nephews. You even have to use your official position in Wu to become an official."
You came here to make a deal with them. A while ago you withdrew the list of hundreds of Jingba brothers who were allocating manor land in Wudi. This is this kind of deal."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, the land of Wu is still left to the noble families. Even in Jiangbei, I have expanded the number of fields they can allocate. This Northern Expedition is close to success. It can be imagined that
Jiangbei has become a safe hinterland, and these high-ranking families will flock to Jiangbei to grab territory. Yu Yue and the others went back under the guise of escorting the wounded, but in fact they had the intention of going back early to make arrangements. They were afraid that our class teacher would have to deal with it after returning to the court.
The first thing I want to do is not the post-war disposition of Qingzhou, but the rewards from Jiangbei."
Liu Yu shook his head helplessly: "I thought that there would be some changes in the noble family, and they would join the army to serve the country and serve the court. Unexpectedly, everything has changed and they have remained true to their clan. They are still based on their own family's calculations and want to do more for themselves."
Fight for interests. If you want to truly pacify the world in the future, you will have to start anew and use a group of your own talents."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Those are things for the future. Now we even have to compromise with them when it comes to cultivating successor talents. Two steps forward and one step back. If there are really a large number of people who are from humble backgrounds and have talent, they are willing to
If the struggling scholars are available, then there is no need to be restricted by the high-ranking families. I think that when the real low-level scholars who have been educated by printing technology emerge in large numbers, the cold people can control the center, and the heroes are everywhere in the army, you and I will
The ideal may be achievable!”
