Chapter 1951 In the peace season, a sudden murder of the family
As time goes by, for a long time after the complete collapse of the Jin Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty and the Song Dynasty built forts on the front lines of the territories they occupied each other, relying on dangerous points to strengthen their defenses, although there were occasional small-scale conflicts.
, but overall it is still in a stable period in which the country is developing production and recovering its strength after experiencing successive turbulences and wars.
Because it was not just Xiao Tang who knew the importance of rest and recuperation. The court officials including Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui, Han Qixian, Jiang Jing and other court officials also came forward to give advice, pointing out that the Qi Dynasty was now at odds with the Song Dynasty in the north and south, occupying a vast territory and dominating the country.
There are tens of millions of people, but the newly attached places need to be managed with concentration. After years of war, they also need to restore their vitality. In addition to the Song Dynasty government system, which was restructured and streamlined with Han civilization as the main body, the organization was streamlined and the efficiency was doubled. In order to
To effectively govern the institutions and officials of Khitan, Jurchen, Mongol, Bohai, Xiren, etc., the imperial court also needs to assess the situation under the relative national and political situation, and dispatch and appoint corresponding officials to effectively sort out.
On the surface, it seems that although the Qi Dynasty is strong and stable, there are still many problems that have been covered up due to successive military victories, but have not been properly solved. And successive years of militarization have intensified the problems in which aspects
If it gets worse, it may become out of control, and in the worst case, the country may be in danger of subjugation.
After all, long-term fighting requires huge amounts of financial and military resources. Frequent wars in the past have resulted in a large number of casualties and losses among the soldiers of the Qi Dynasty. But when the Jin army conquered the Liao Dynasty and invaded the Song Dynasty, they could supply military supplies by supporting war with war.
They could grab whatever they wanted, but Xiao Tang was determined not to use this method of nomadic civilization invading the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains. Even if the Zhao family and the Song Dynasty were eventually destroyed, they could not conquer a country by harming the Han people in the Central Plains. Otherwise,
, Xiao Tang knew that he had held high the banner of righteousness to uphold justice, and had worked hard to achieve a reputation far higher than that of Zhao Ji. The reputation of Zhao Huan, a pair of foolish men, would be completely destroyed in one day. In the eyes of the people of Song Dynasty, he would also be in conflict with Zhao Ji.
There was no difference between the gold thieves and the Tatars who invaded the Song Dynasty, burned, killed and looted.
In this era, whether it was the Liao Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, or today's Qi Dynasty or Song Dynasty, what the vast majority of the people at the bottom really care about is not whether the monarchs who rule them can expand their territory by hundreds or thousands of miles, but whether they can defend it.
You can live a peaceful and prosperous life on your own one-third of an acre. Only by doing this can you teach them to recognize you as a good emperor. From another perspective, for the people of Qi Dynasty, if you blindly consume all the country's financial resources and forcefully launch a war, then the war will be
The military expenditures turned into numerous exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which still had to be distributed to the people at home. The burden became heavier and heavier until they were completely crushed, and the war-weary mood of the Qi army officers and soldiers who were born with mortal bodies after all was inevitable.
Will spread. When the entire country is ultimately unable to use coercive violence to suppress the increasingly fierce resistance of all classes in the country, what will be the consequences?
In the territory of the Song Dynasty, there will be people who will raise uprising flags one after another, but they will vigorously resist the Xiao Dynasty. Under the rule of the Qi Dynasty, due to heavy corvee taxes, more and more people will leave, which will eventually cause thieves to rise in droves and rebel against the flag.
There are so many people in the world. At that time, I really don’t know who will take the lead in the rivers and lakes. He will gather the green forest heroes from the three mountains and five mountains to jointly chop off chicken heads, burn yellow paper, gather righteousness, recruit soldiers and horses to fight against the government, and vow to
Resist tyranny and kill the tyrant Dog Emperor of Xiaotang...
Although his current identity and position have undergone earth-shaking changes, Xiao Tang said in his heart that this was what he did in the beginning, and he never wanted anyone to do this to him.
After going through various wars such as attacking the Song Dynasty, conquering the desert, and destroying the Jin Kingdom, plus the huge expenditures to provide relief to the people living in various places after the war, and to appease the Mongolian, Wu, Wei, Bohai, Jurchen and other surrendered tribes, the Qi Dynasty is now
The national treasury reserves and fiscal revenue and expenditure have also reached the critical point of imbalance. This is all due to Yang Xu, who is in charge of national fiscal expenditure, land tax and commercial tax, grain cashier, material transshipment, maritime trade, etc.
, Jiang Jing, Xiao An, Yang Lin, Hu Cheng and other officials have been thinking hard all day long to stabilize the situation. Now, considering the national conditions of the Qi Dynasty, it is indeed time to recuperate and recuperate.
However, it was precisely during the Qi Dynasty that the people under the rule were able to live and work in peace and contentment, and the tense situation with the Song court was relatively eased. Xiao Tang also devoted most of his energy to handling state affairs at this stage. Among the military departments under the Qi Dynasty,
, but a murderous case occurred that aroused the sensitive minds of generals from various factions...
The commander of Guihua Prefecture, Li Kui, the commander of the military and horse department, had a dispute with the commander of the Khitan surrender from Yanyun Road, who was transferred from the Yanyun Road Administration Department. They had a dispute when they were having a drink in Guanpu. At that time, although other military commanders Pao Ze tried their best to
However, Li Kui later heard the other party's hateful and insulting words about him. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he wielded two axes and ran straight to the house of the commander who had enmity with him. The Khitan commander was extremely angry.
Although he knew that Li Kui was murderous and reckless, he didn't expect that if he got angry, he would even be able to chop down his official robe. After all, he was caught off guard, and Li Kui, who didn't answer, picked up an ax and chopped it into the middle of the door.
He was killed immediately, but Li Kui still could not forgive his hatred and refused to give up. He also killed all the Khitan commanders, their fathers, mothers, wives, young sons, servants and more than 20 people!
This murder not only alarmed Xiao Tang, but also immediately aroused him to a violent rage. However, there was no need for Xiao Tang to personally issue an order to arrest this evil star and bring him to justice. The Guihua Prefectural Government Office piled up documents and sent them urgently.
When the Privy Council filed a lawsuit to investigate the criminal case of military attaché, soldiers were sent to hunt down the murderer. Even the Yiluan Town Fusi in charge of Shi Xiu sent several teams of elite military schools to search and hunt down. Li Kui, who abandoned his official position and fled after killing many people, was like this.
He was running around looking for a way out in a daze. During this period, he also did a few costless trail-cutting activities in places he thought were quiet. This attracted a large number of police officers to round up and arrest him. He committed the murder within five days.
In no time, he was arrested and brought to justice...
The official office of the left-behind department of Daming Mansion is where Xiao Tang was tried in court for murdering people on Long Street. Now, as the king of a country, he has moved here to make the judgment in person, and all the people standing in solemnity are standing there.
The guards in front of the palace are wearing strong armor, hanging swords and spears, and are full of murderous intent. Yanyun Road has appointed criminal and prison officials, Guihua Prefecture Secretary Kou has joined the army, and other participating officials such as Deputy Chengzhi of the Privy Council are sitting behind the public cases on both sides.
, they also noticed that the atmosphere in the government office was particularly depressing and heavy. After all, the emperor was angry, and the pressure between his brows made everyone present feel a great pressure.
However, when Li Kui, who was nailed to death with heavy iron shackles, was pushed and pushed by several officials and escorted to the court, he stared at him with a pair of bull's eyes and was about to curse, when he was shocked to see Li Kui sitting in the court.
Xiao Tang was looking up, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. At this time, Li Kui stiffened his neck, straightened his back, and laughed loudly: "I am really going to fall into your hands! Back then, you
When we first met at Jiangzhou Prison Camp, I knew that you looked down upon me, Tieniu. Even if you are now the emperor, you still think that I, Tieniu, look down upon you? We were originally so close to each other that we couldn't even look at each other, and we had never looked down upon each other.
I did the right thing. I thought that since I returned the favor to you, I would have to fight to the death sooner or later. But then, Brother Song Jiang muddleheadedly surrendered to you Xiao Tang again! Now you have finally taught me how to harm grandpa.
