The ministers once again devoted themselves to spring planting, and Zheng Xuan had just started herding cattle. Therefore, the cattle herding strategy may not have a big impact on this year's spring planting. However, the bumper harvest of the previous year will obviously have an impact on this year's spring planting. It is very huge. The crops left over from the previous year, coupled with the diligence of the people who have already tasted the benefits, many officials looked at Wen Renxi and other ministers with enthusiasm, and also gathered their strength and prepared to pass through the people. Tun's political achievements launched an impact on San Gong.
As for the little fat man, he no longer needs to take care of these things personally. He Xiu, Wang Fu, Wen Renxi and other ministers are here, so he can rest assured that Wang Fu has the decision-making and courage, and He Xiu can do it. He shields himself from the wind and rain and hears people's attacks. Although he doesn't seem to do much on weekdays, as long as money is involved, his decision-making ability will instantly open up the king's talisman by more than three times.
For example, regarding this construction matter, who would have thought that this guy actually proposed to the emperor that all the big and small families passing through the construction should pay corvee taxes, saying that they would be exempted from the corvee with money. The purpose of the little fat man building the road was to appease the refugees. The wealthy families had no intention of sending their servants to serve in the corvee, but the aristocratic families did not know this. They happily paid the money and felt complacent about avoiding the corvee.
The project that was supposed to cost nearly one million dollars was suddenly reduced to two hundred thousand dollars!
Wang Fu also admired this person greatly.
At the beginning of the year, Wen Renxi secretly paid a visit to the Emperor and presented a memorial, hoping that the Emperor would sell his official position and be awarded a title. When the little fat man heard this, he was furious. Isn't this treating the important affairs of the country as child's play? How can dignified Han officials be measured by money? Wen Renxi The reason was very sufficient. He said: Today's officials are all obtained through inspections and are recommended by aristocratic families. I have never heard of a poor family being able to worship the Three Lords.
Even though he was attacked by others, he was recommended by the Sima clan in Hanoi and only then reached such a position.
Since these officials are not subject to appointment or dismissal by the emperor and are originally recommended by each of the aristocratic families, it would be better to charge them a fee and make the national treasury more substantial.
The little fat man was shocked and drove him out with a wave of his hand. He would also implement the scientific merit system and establish a private school in the future so that officials would no longer be restricted by being recommended by aristocratic families. Wouldn't selling officials and conferring titles ruin his future plans?
The previous case of Dong Chong's rebellion has also been settled. Hundreds of people were imprisoned and dozens were executed.
From the mouths of these criminals, Yang Qiu found out extremely important information. Dong Chong was plotting rebellion, and there were others behind him who were making suggestions, including Guang Luxun and Guo Xi. The death of Shangshu Ling Liu Chong was all related to this person. Yang Qiu After months of investigation, Yang Qiu continued to expand the number of Xiuyi messengers. Finally, Yang Qiu learned about this person from a slave who had escaped from the Dong Mansion.
This person is General Shi, Chen Shi.
The matter was so important that Yang Qiu hurriedly summoned hundreds of embroidered robe envoys. Only a dozen of them were wearing embroidered robes, and the rest were dressed as ordinary rangers. Leading them, Yang Qiu rushed to the Chen Mansion in a mighty manner. Chen This person had great prestige among the party members. Now that Yang Ci, Zhou Jing, Chen Fan, Li Ying, Dou Wu and others have all passed away, this person has become a leader-like figure among the party members.
And this person's methods are also quite impressive. In the past, Dou Wu's incident implicated countless people who were dismissed from office and killed. However, he, who was closest to the general in history, was not implicated in any way. Now that the general is gone, he can still Shi continued to be his general in Luoyang. When Yang Qiu led everyone and hurried to the Chen Mansion, he found that there were many carriages around the Chen Mansion!
Yang Qiu ignored him, knocked on the door, knocked down the servant who opened the door, and rushed in. When he walked in, he saw a dozen scholars sitting around under a big stone.
, Chen Shi was sitting on his knees, leaning on a stone in one hand, and holding a book in the other, explaining to everyone. After Yang Qiu listened for a moment, he knew that he was talking about Yi. These scholars listened attentively.
Chen Gong had never lectured with many scholars before, and rarely held discussions. However, these days, for some unknown reason, he suddenly started to give lectures on Yi studies in the mansion. Many scholars came here to stay and study with the mansion. Chen Shi
He had already seen the intruding Yang Qiu, but he didn't take it seriously. He slowly explained, dressed like a celebrity.
"On the ninth day of the lunar month, it is necessary to be in the suburbs, and it is necessary to make use of it. There is no fault. It is said: It is necessary to be in the suburbs. It is not difficult to do it. It is to use it to be constant and there is no fault. It is not abnormal. On the ninth day, it is necessary to be in the sand. There are small words, and it is auspicious in the end. Xiang said
"It needs to be in the sand, and it will grow in the middle. Although it is a small word, it will end well." Chen Shi was speaking when suddenly, his voice was interrupted by a burst of violent clapping, and many students turned their heads in displeasure.
Come, look at the sunny ball.
Yang Qiu slowly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Chen Gong is very easy to govern. I wonder if it is possible to calculate the date of his death?"
Chen Shi's expression did not change, but everyone was furious. They stood up one after another and drew out their swords. With the support of his eldest son, Chen Shi slowly walked down, looked at Yang Qiu, and said with a smile: "Yi Xue is profound and profound. There is nothing wrong with it."
If I can't figure it out, I once calculated it for myself. If the black bird turns red, I will die." Yang Qiu shook his head and said: "Mr. Chen, you gave advice to the traitor Dong Chong and collaborated to plot chaos.
In my opinion, your death date is today!"
As the son of Chen Shi, how could Chen Ji allow Yang Qiu to slander his father?
He stood up suddenly and shouted: "How dare you insult my father!"
"Why can't you scold traitors and traitors?!" Yang Qiu looked at Chen Shi with great disdain and cursed.
Chen Ji's eyes were red, and he held a long sword and stabbed Yang Qiu suddenly. Chen Shi was shocked and shouted: "No!", but before he could stop Yang Qiu, Chen Ji just turned sideways.
The sword stabbed Yang Qiu's arm. Yang Qiu actually didn't resist. He smiled and said: "Assassinate the minister, the messenger in embroidered clothes! Kill the rebels!!"
After saying that, he swung his sword suddenly. How could Chen Ji be his opponent because he was old and frail?
A sword was stabbed in the neck, blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground!
Chen Shi trembled all over, and the messengers of embroidered clothes directly killed many Chen family disciples. Those scholars who came to inquire after seeing such changes did not know what to do. If Yang Qiu came to punish Chen Shi, they
It can still help resist, but Chen Ji hurt people first and assassinated officials. The students didn't know what to do. Chen Shi reacted very quickly. When he saw several Chen family members being killed in succession, he hurriedly shouted:
"I plead guilty! Don't hurt innocent people!!"
The old man, who was over sixty years old, tremblingly bowed towards Yang Qiu and saluted.
Yang Qiu didn't let go. He accepted him as a salute and waved his hand. The messenger of Xiuyi just gave up. Yang Qiu directly took Chen Shi back to Zhizhi Xiuyi Prison. This was the same as the one set up by Yang Qiu himself the previous year.
The prison is different from Tingwei's prison. The prisoners here are all rebellious criminals who have committed unpardonable crimes. This refers directly to the prison. Although it was established not long ago, it is notorious and scary.
After the incident spread, Yang Qiu's notoriety even surpassed that of Wang Fu in an instant. He yelled at him to kill him, and blocked him in front of Xiuyi Messenger's house day and night. He also arrested dozens of people, and the imperial students went on a rampage. , they gathered together and blocked the mansion of the Xiuyi Messenger, preventing the people inside from having a chance to go out. Only the emperor himself sent an angel to rescue Yang Qiu from the mansion.
"What are you going to do?"
"Chen Shi, an old man who is over 60 years old, will be arrested if you ask him to be arrested??"
The little fat man asked angrily.
"I believe that anyone who goes against your Majesty or the Han Dynasty, regardless of their power and prestige, old or weak, should be severely punished! I am willing to be severely punished by your Majesty, but I also ask your Majesty to give me three days. Within a few days, I will put these traitors to death, and when the time comes, they will definitely die to apologize!" Yang Qiu bowed.
The little fat man frowned and stared at him for a long time, then looked at his injured arm, and then shook his head helplessly.
"There's no need to apologize with death. Now that we've been arrested, let's put the entire Chen family in prison, lest they go around visiting friends and summoning celebrities to disturb my peace."
