Another important piece of information revealed by Yang Jun was about the court's accountability after the rebellion. This was what Lin Jue was most worried about at this moment. In Lin Jue's mind, the cause of the rebellion was already clear. Hai
Dongqing also fully confessed his attempt to collude with the Liao people to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that this was a long-planned rebellion by hostile forces inside and outside the Zhou Dynasty colluding with each other. But this is only one aspect of the problem. Tracing the root cause, the Zhou Dynasty
There was indeed a problem internally, and it was a big problem. There was a big problem with the imperial policy, which gave Haidongqing the opportunity and soil to use the cult to grow and rebel. This problematic policy was the result of the vigorous reforms in the past two years.
It is a policy of reform that seeks to seize the people and ignore people's livelihood. It is precisely because the implementation of the "Changping New Law" and the "Employment Law" were too eager for quick success and too tough and brutal in terms and implementation, which led to the hardship of people's lives.
The accumulation of dissatisfaction in the heart was exploited by others, which led to the Qingjiao rebellion. To investigate the responsibility, it must be to investigate the responsibility of the new law, to investigate the responsibility of Yan Zhengsu, Fang Dunru and other reformists.
In other words, Yang Jun's warning to himself was intentional. He warned himself not to talk too much about this matter. He knew his relationship with Fang Dunru, so he specifically pointed it out to warn himself not to confront him.
.That’s because he actually already knows who the DPRK and China are targeting for accountability, and he already knows what will happen next. And he himself must be one of the people who want Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng to be impeached and held accountable.
Originally, Yang Jun was neutral, but Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru's previous actions to promote new laws regarding the military reform had angered Yang Jun. Yang Jun said that anyone who puts his hand into his one-third of an acre of land will be punished.
He will definitely not agree. Therefore, Yang Jun's current attitude must be to oppose the new law. This time, he will definitely side with the opposition to impeach Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng, so he warned himself in advance.
This is the contradiction in Lin Jue's heart. Although he also understands that Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are responsible, after all, they are determined to serve the country and have no selfish motives. Moreover, it cannot be said that the new law has no effect at all.
With the increase in taxes, many long-delayed major events have money to deal with, and many mergers and acquisitions of disciples can be stopped, which is still beneficial to the Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, from a personal perspective, Lin Jue cannot bear to watch the two adults being attacked by a group.
In fact, he was even convicted for this. Even if Fang Dunru was ruthless about his own status, Lin Jue could not be as ruthless as him. Not to mention the relationship between his master and Huanqiu.
What should I do in this matter? This is the point where Lin Jue feels irritable and gloomy. If the two adults are held accountable, what will happen to them? Lu Zhongtian and the others are not good people. They are masters who will not stop until someone is killed.
Son. Since the reform, the limelight has been stolen by the two adults. Will he give up easily this time? The tempers of the two adults are probably not easy to get along with. If there is a quarrel, the court will be in trouble again. The emperor should
What position do you stand on?
Even the cool autumn wind couldn't calm down Lin Jue's heated mind. He walked around the city for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until night fell that Bai Bing came to the city in person to invite him, and he followed with a sigh.
Bai Bing went down to the city.
…
The next morning, Guo Mian and Guo Kun returned to Beijing with their troops. Lin Jue was newly appointed as the pacifier of the East and West Roads in Beijing, but could only watch them leave. According to Lin Jue's request, Wei Dakui and Wu Bai were left behind.
The cavalry followed Lin Jue to protect him, and the rest of the army returned in triumph.
Guo Mian was a little unhappy because Lin Jue did not agree to his request and asked him to escort all the religious bandit prisoners back to Beijing with his triumphant army. What he meant was that he would take more than 10,000 religious bandit prisoners back to Beijing.
, let his father’s officials and the people of the capital see his results, and let him shine in the limelight. Lin Jue obviously could not agree to his request. This was neither practical nor contrary to Lin Jue’s desire to reform the pacification war.
The original intention of post-order. Lin Jue is now the imperial envoy and pacifier, so he has a say in this matter.
In fact, Lin Jue had an exchange with Yang Jun yesterday about the issue of the prisoners of the religious bandits. Lin Jue expressed his hope to reform most of the religious bandits and release them. After all, what is needed after the war is comfort and gentleness.
Instead of creating greater panic. Although these religious bandits are guilty, they cannot be beaten to death with a stick. Lin Jue's plan is to release them with penalty and monitor their labor. This is to ensure that they all repent.
Next, release them to go home and reunite with their families.
Most of them are young and strong laborers. Imprisoning them will actually interrupt the livelihood of many families, which will lead to worse consequences. Instead of doing this, it is better to let them go back to support their families, which is also a factor in stabilizing the post-war social situation.
But these people are indeed criminals who rebelled against the imperial court, and this cannot be ignored. Therefore, they must be placed under residential surveillance and required to be under the supervision and supervision of local officials, and only allowed a very small space for movement. Once there is any misconduct, they will be arrested immediately.
If arrested, the crime will be increased to one level and the punishment will be increased.
Yang Jun praised Lin Jue's idea very much. Lin Jue's method solved many problems. The first was the livelihood of many families and social stability. The second was that it saved a lot of manpower and material resources. After all, more than 10,000 teachers
Imprisoning all the gangsters requires a large amount of manpower and material resources. Moreover, after the great turmoil in Beijing's East and West Road, the local government has basically lost its power. It will take time to establish functional departments such as prisons and justice. How can there be so many people?
Placement is a big problem. There are also safety issues in concentrating the guards. So this method of releasing them under supervision is somewhat similar to detaining them in their own homes. I have to say, this is a very creative idea.
Yang Jun promised Lin Jue to report the matter to the emperor when he returned to Beijing, and to advise the emperor on his behalf, indicating the necessity of doing so, which would be of great benefit to the post-war pacification. Of course, before the imperial court allowed it, these people could only
For the time being, Guangji Army was under the watch of Xingren Mansion to reflect and repent, and to reform his soul. After the court gave permission, Lin Jue could do it according to his own ideas.
Therefore, Lin Jue could not let Guo Mian act recklessly, and could not let him escort more than 10,000 people to the capital just to satisfy his vanity. But in order to take care of Guo Mian's emotions, Lin Jue captured the most heinous and unrepentant prisoners.
More than 700 die-hard elements were handed over to Guo Mian and brought back to the capital. These guys had committed numerous crimes and had been exposed for various evil deeds of murder, rape, prostitution and arson. They were all people who could not be reformed. Send them back to the capital to be beheaded.
The fate of the leader was not only a punishment for them, but also what the imperial court needed to shock the world after suppressing the rebellion. Guo Chong wanted the bandit leader Hai Dongqing to give him nothing, and if he didn't give him some people to kill to vent his anger, I'm afraid the emperor would say this in his heart
The bad temper could not escape. Lin Jue asked Sun Dayong to follow the army back to Beijing. It was not that Sun Dayong was not needed by his side, but that Sun Dayong returned to Beijing this time with a mission. Lin Jue got up at midnight last night and wrote a long letter,
Sun Dayong returned to Beijing with this letter. This letter was written to Fang Dunru. Lin Jue thought about it for half the night and felt that he could not just sit back and watch the two of them face accountability, so the purpose of writing this letter was
Detailed the root cause of this rebellion, pointing out that this rebellion is not unrelated to the new law. The court is about to hold accountable, so remind them to take the initiative to plead guilty to the emperor first, change from passive to active, maybe the situation will be better. And suggest that they should revise it immediately
Some of the regulations in the new law must be changed, and the barbaric and brutal practices in implementation must be changed to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Lin Jue wrote this letter without any reservations. He wrote everything he thought, saw, and thought in it. Lin Jue really hoped that the two adults could read it and understand what he was saying instead of
Obsessed. Lin Jue put himself in the position of a great Zhou minister to persuade him, and that was all he could do at the moment. Lin Jue believed that if the two adults had a little sense, they would understand what he was saying.
If they work hard, they will realize the situation they face and the mistakes they have made.
After bidding farewell to Guo Mian and Guo Kun's army, in the afternoon of that day, Lin Jue and Bai Bing led Wei Dakui's 500 cavalry from Xingren Mansion, carrying 80 members of the confessional regiment to various places along the East and West Roads of Beijing to begin fulfilling their duties.
The responsibilities of the pacifier.
…
The capital city has been plunged into a strange atmosphere since the religious bandit uprising. The people of this generation have never experienced a large-scale rebellion in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, some elderly people have experienced
The past of the Xixia rebellion, but Xixia is Xixia after all, and the sense of identity in the hearts of the people is not high. Even if it belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty, many people actually regard Xixia as an external territory, and in their hearts they think that Xixia is a barbarian land occupied by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The territory of the tribe. The rebellion that occurred on that land was not the same as the rebellion that occurred in the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There had never been a large-scale rebellion in the interior of the Zhou Dynasty for so many years, but this time it had broken the precedent, which inevitably aroused various suspicions and thoughts in the hearts of the people.
Some people believe that this is a sign of the decline of Zuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than 150 years, the army and horses were strong, the country was prosperous and the people were strong. When would inland rebellions happen? The only explanation is that the decline of Zuo was
. As the saying goes, prosperity must inevitably decline. This is the principle of all things. Even if you shout the slogan that the Zhou Dynasty will last for thousands of years, you still have to accept the reality. It’s just... this decline seems to come too fast. It’s not the same as before.
In ten years, I feel like a completely different person. Life is getting worse day by day, and even a well-off family has to live a careful life. It’s not like in the past years, when money and money were flowing, and the family had enough food and clothing, it didn’t feel like there was any need at all.
When you need to make plans to live your life, because you are full of confidence in the future every day, the whole week is full of energy at that time, unlike now, when you are scared and walking on thin ice.
During the counter-insurgency operations, news about the war also circulated frequently in the city. Rumors about the battlefields in the north of Beijing and the battles on the east and west roads of Beijing were spread on the streets, with one version every day. Based on some scattered and fragmentary sources, various stories were derived.
