Chapter 0715 Wenchen is the most difficult to deal with
Han Chongye was the second son of Han Chongyun. When he was young, King Zhao Yanmei of Wei was not called Zhao Yanmei, but Zhao Guangmei, and his title was not King of Wei, but King of Qin. In short, Han Chongye was attracted by Zhao Yanmei and recruited his consort.
When Zhao Yanmei was demoted to Fangling, he was also implicated and was sent to Fangling together.
Kou Ji said that he had a grudge against Han Yunsheng, referring to the people from the Wei royal family who were recalled from Fangling.
The family of the Prince of Wei's family can be regarded as Han Yunsheng's maternal uncle's family.
Kou Ji had previously been sworn in the Wei royal family, and the two sides had become enemies.
However, Han Yunsheng didn't seem to remember this hatred.
"Since you have found me, I won't give you any trouble. Do you want to harass the officials, or do you want to negotiate terms with them?"
Kou Ji asked straight to the point.
Han Yunsheng said with a bitter face: "As a minister, how can I negotiate terms with officials?"
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said: "If you had thought so a long time ago, that would be fine..."
The look on Han Yunsheng's face became even more bitter.
Kou Ji said frankly: "The officials have never meant to kill everyone from the beginning to the end. As long as you surrender and hand over things you should not control, the officials will definitely let you live.
Those who are protected by your sect will also be punished by officials at their discretion.
But you have no sense at all and insist on making a fuss with the officials.
He committed the robbery of eight Yizijiaozi shops.
Now that you are carrying a heavy case, if you try to give in to the officials again, the officials will not let you off lightly." : :
Han Yunsheng asked tentatively: "I wonder...how will the officials deal with me?"
Kou Ji smiled and stretched out his finger, "Three ways..."
Han Yunsheng asked impatiently, "What three..."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The first way is to continue fighting with the officials. In a few days I will go to your house to arrest people. At that time, you and the old, weak, women and children in your house will be captured without any help, and I will take you back to the prison."
That’s it.”
Han Yunsheng's face suddenly became very ugly.
Kou Ji continued to smile and said: "The second way is that the official family will retain your title, but within the third generation of your Han family, you will not be able to appear in the court again."
Han Yunsheng gritted his teeth, his expression still ugly.
Kou Ji continued: "The third way is that the officials will depose all the officials and titles of your Han family, but allow you to nominate two sons of the Han family, one to enter the Wenchang Academy and the other to the Mangshan Lecture Hall."
Han Yunsheng's face became even more ugly. He stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Where is the Mangshan Martial Arts Hall?"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "I can't say it, and you can't ask it. Anyway, it's good for your Han family."
Han Yunsheng looked at Kou Ji expectantly and asked, "Is there any other way to go?"
Kou Ji asked: "What do you think?"
Han Yunsheng hesitated and refused to make a decision, but he did not leave.
Kou Ji waited for a long time, but before he could speak, he said, "You can think about it more. Just think about it when I go to your house to arrest people."
Hearing the word 'arrest', Han Yunsheng trembled and gritted his teeth: "I choose the second option..."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, stared at Han Yunsheng and said, "Are you sure?"
Han Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Kou Ji nodded slightly and said, "Then you go back to your house and wait. Someone will come to your house to find you tomorrow. He will tell you what to do then."
Han Yunsheng stood up, bowed his hands to Kou Ji, and left Granny Cao's shop in a hurry.
Kou Ji looked at Han Yunsheng's leaving figure and sighed slightly.
"The Han family...is gone..."
Although Han Yunsheng kept his title, there was nothing else.
When he dies, the Han family will probably become an ordinary wealthy family and will never have anything to do with the court again.
In Koo Ji's opinion, among the conditions he gave, the third one was definitely the best.
When he gave Zhao Zhen advice, he did not have a quota at the Mangshan Martial Arts Hall.
In the end, it was Zhao Zhen who decided to add a quota to the Mangshan Lecture Hall.
Mangshan Lecture Hall was the name given by Zhao Zhen for the previously unnamed Lecture Hall.
Students who come out of it will inevitably be assigned to serve as basic officers in various armies.
They were the first people to learn firearms warfare, and their future achievements are bound to be limitless.
Kou Ji didn't dare to say whether he could become a general.
But becoming a captain in the army is still a sure thing.
If you have some ability to lead troops in battle, you will most likely be promoted to general.
The Han family is a general and has its own unique way of leading troops. If the children of the Han family are savvy enough, they can integrate their family's traditional way of leading troops into firearms warfare.
The position of a general will definitely come to him.
The Han family is a family of generals, so they naturally have more advantages in leading troops than ordinary people.
Those students from Mangshan Lecture Hall who were selected from ordinary people are definitely not as good as them in this regard.
With this advantage alone, the children of the Han family can quickly stand out.
It's a pity that Han Yunsheng didn't dare to gamble.
He clings to the wealth in front of him, but abandons the wealth in the future.
"The officials finally had a benevolent heart, but they didn't expect that they wouldn't appreciate it... I don't know what the officials will think when they find out about this?"
Kou Ji sighed, put down the money for double breakfast, and left Granny Cao's shop.
The reason why I gave double money was because Han Yunsheng left in a hurry and didn't give me the money.
After returning to the house, people came to visit one after another, some came on their own, and some were introduced by people from Cao's house.
Kou Ji saw them one by one, and the solutions he gave were exactly the same.
Some people said they wanted to think about it and left the Kou Mansion Courtyard in a hurry.
Some people also chose the second path.
The third way, but no one cares about it.
The Kou mansion was crowded with people, and the news soon reached the ears of Pan Su and Shi Yuansun.
After Pan Su received the news, he knew that the situation was over and never left the mansion again. Instead, he asked his father to visit Kou Ji.
Shi Yuansun went to Pan Su's house to look for Pan Su, but Pan Su avoided seeing him.
Shi Yuansun was angry and quietly left Bianjing City with some people.
After Zhao Zhen received the news, he did not send anyone to stop them, but allowed them to leave.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji stood side by side on the city gate tower, watching Shi Yuansun leave Bianjing City.
Kou Ji turned to Zhao Zhen and said, "Guanjia, you just let him leave like that?"
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen both knew what Shi Yuansun was going to do when he left Bianjing City.
It must be the last step.
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and said with deep eyes: "I let him leave just to see who else is disloyal to me. It's best for them to take this opportunity to jump out all at once, so that I can deal with them all."
.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "Yesterday, my men intercepted a secret letter."
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen doubtfully and waited quietly for the next sentence.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Someone sent a letter to Wang Derong who was far away in Bozhou, telling Wang Derong everything that happened in Bianjing City."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said in shock: "They want to win over Wang Deyong to start a rebellion together?"
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Not only Wang Deyong, but also Guo Yi, Wang Kai and others. However, they only told Wang Deyong, Wang Kai and others about what happened in Bianjing City, and did not say anything to win over Wang De.
Just wait for others to start trouble together."
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry and said: "It's not too stupid..."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "It's enough to be considered stupid... If Wang Deyong really rebels, then our country, the Song Dynasty, will really be in a state of turmoil."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Maybe they have the idea of playing two shots if there are dates but no dates."
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and said in a serious tone: "As long as Shi Yuansun gets involved, I can use this to eliminate the trouble Wu Xun brought to me in the Song Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said: "The warriors have been raised by me in the Song Dynasty for many years, and they are used to being domineering. They always like to use drastic means when encountering problems. You and I, the monarchs and ministers, have never met them."
How many obstacles.
But civil servants are not so easy to deal with."
Military ministers with military power and military ministers without military power are completely different concepts.
Most of the military officials in the Song Dynasty were those without military power.
Even if it has some influence on the army, it can affect only a few soldiers and horses.
Just like what Pan Chengyu said.
Shi Yuansun shouted that he could mobilize 250,000 horses and horses, but in the end, those who could join them in the rebellion were only more than 20,000, and they might not even be able to get over 10,000.
Shi Yuansun wanted to use more soldiers and horses to cause chaos, so he had no choice but to pass on false orders.
On the pretext of suppressing bandits, suppressing rebellion, and serving the king, he led his troops to cause chaos.
The key is, he may not succeed yet.
Because the supervisors, officials, clerks, etc. who are stationed in the army will definitely ask him to issue military symbols, seals, arrows, edicts and the like.
If he can't produce anything, the military supervisors, officials, clerks, etc. will definitely not listen to him.
Not only would he not listen to him, he would also tell the soldiers in the army not to listen to Shi Yuansun.
Unless the soldiers voluntarily followed Shi Yuansun in rebellion, it would be difficult for Shi Yuansun to mobilize the soldiers.
The perfect and strict military supervision system of the Song Dynasty was not built for nothing.
The military supervision system is like a tight spell that tightly applies to everyone in the military.
I can imprison you to death at any time.
Previously, Kou Zhun streamlined the army and horses in the world, causing a mutiny.
That's because Kou Zhun's actions affected the interests of everyone in the army, including some soldiers who had been soldiers all their lives and wondered whether they could survive after leaving the army.
Kou Zhun disturbed the jobs of the soldiers. The soldiers wanted to keep their jobs and had the idea of rebellion.
In order to save their share of soldiers' blood, the military lieutenants and generals also had the idea of rebellion.
Chaos will occur only when everyone above and below has the idea of causing chaos.
At this time, the supervisors will be killed immediately to sacrifice the flag.
If only the lieutenants and generals had the idea of causing rebellion, the soldiers did not.
Then it will be very difficult for a lieutenant general to cause chaos.
He can't pass the level of soldiers, nor can he pass the level of overseeing the army.
If Shi Yuansun wants to cause chaos, the first thing he has to face is these two levels.
Apart from cheating, there seems to be no other way to pass these two levels, so Shi Yuansun will definitely use deception.
But this method does not last long and is easily broken.
Why did the Cao and Li families decisively choose to give up their profits when Zhao Zhen was investigating the status of military pay in previous years?
It's because they know that mutiny is too difficult.
That's why he decisively surrendered to Zhao Zhen.
If the mutiny were really easy, the Cao and Li families might not be so easy to surrender. Computer version::/
Of course, in addition to the difficulty of mutiny, there is also the reason why one is in wealth and is unwilling to take risks for the sake of wealth.
When a person is penniless, driven by profit, it is easy to go to extremes and be willing to gamble his life.
But when a person is in wealth and has a lot of benefits at hand, he is no longer willing to gamble his life for petty profits.
It was because of the above two reasons that it was impossible for many martial artists to fight Zhao Zhen to the death. The final result was that Zhao Zhen easily dealt with them.
Greedy people like Shi Yuansun who live in wealth but are willing to risk their lives to fight for petty profits are, after all, in the minority.
It is this minority of people that Zhao Zhen needs to deal with ruthlessly.
Unfortunately, the strength gap between Shi Yuansun and Zhao Zhen is too big.
Like an egg hitting a stone.
Nothing good will come of it.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji didn't even take a break after dealing with the emperor's relatives. They decisively dealt with Wu Xun because they knew that Wu Xun was similar to the emperor's relatives.
Not difficult to deal with.
The really difficult ones to deal with are the civil servants and the wealthy businessmen in the world.
They were the most difficult group of people to deal with when Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were reforming.
Don't use extreme measures. Any extreme measures may cause a huge backlash.
More importantly, they have hostages in their hands.
The hostages in their hands are the people of the world.
Kou Ji heard Zhao Zhen's words and pondered: "Has anyone noticed the clues and made any suggestions to the officials?"
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and said: "Some people spread rumors in Suzhou and other places, saying that I will follow your actions in Hexi, Northwest and other places, clear out the rich households in the world, and distribute the land in the world equally to the people.
Rich households in Suzhou and other places have begun to resist.
Business people have begun to use various reasons to avoid paying taxes.
Official documents issued in the yamen will be torn up before they go to the countryside.
Government officials who go to work in the countryside will also be stopped outside the countryside."
Kou Ji frowned subconsciously.
It sounds like a trivial matter, but once it sweeps across the entire Jiangnan, it is no longer a trivial matter.
Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and said: "What's more important is that the governor of Suzhou was sued to the Jiangning Mansion Yamen, claiming that he embezzled a total of three hundred thousand dollars during his governance of Suzhou.
The person who testified was a civil servant from the Zhizhou Yamen in Suzhou.
This matter spread, and people in Suzhou were filled with resentment.
The prefect of Jiangning Prefecture asked me to kill the prefect of Suzhou to calm the people."
"hiss……"
Kou Ji took a breath of air and said in a deep voice: "The governor of Suzhou knows that he has read his files when he was an official. This person served in Suzhou for two terms. Although he did nothing, he did not plunder the people's wealth.
He hid in his house all day long, reciting poems and painting.
No matter how big or small the affairs are in Suzhou.
If he says he doesn't do anything, I believe him.
But I don't believe it when he says he embezzled 300,000 yuan.
During his tenure, all matters in Suzhou were handled by assistant officials, officials, civil and military officials in the yamen. He never had any power in Suzhou, so how could he plunder the people's wealth and anoint them.
This person must have been framed by his subordinates."
Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "But he has caused public resentment. Do you think I should kill him or not?"
Kou Ji thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to escort him back to Beijing first."
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "That's all we can do..."
Zhao Zhen's handling of the emperor's relatives and Wu Xun had already made the civil servants feel the signs, so some of them couldn't wait to put pressure on Zhao Zhen.
There is no sign at all. If I say I am going to embarrass you, I will embarrass you.
It's like a provocation, but also like a warning.
But neither Kou Ji nor Zhao Zhen are people who like to be provoked and warned.
The monarch and his ministers did not stay on the city gate tower for long, and each returned to their respective residences.
Two days later.
The gangsters who robbed eight Yizijiaozi shops in Jiangning Prefecture and other places were escorted into Bianjing City.
Although they were intercepted several times along the way, they were still escorted back to Bianjing City intact.
Although many people relented and no longer conspired with Shi Yuansun.
But someone still sent people to intercept and kill the culprits.
The purpose is to reduce one's own guilt.
However, they obviously did a useless job.
Because after the gangsters arrived in Bianjing City, Kou Jixuan did not interrogate them and went to arrest them directly according to the list given by Zhao Zhen and Zhang Zhibai.
Those who embezzled military pay and participated in robbery plans were not spared.
Even Cao Mansion, Li Mansion, and Kou Ji sent people to arrest people.
The disciples and clansmen of Cao Mansion and Li Mansion, as long as they made mistakes, would have long been captured and waiting in the manor.
As soon as the men sent by Kou Ji arrived, they took the initiative to hand over the prisoners and donated some property as stolen money.
It's not that simple for other martial artists who are subdued.
Almost all of them were arrested and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Although they relented, Zhao Zhen needed an excuse to deprive some of them of their titles, so they had to cooperate.
Kou Ji and his people worked hard for more than ten days before sorting out the martial arts in Bianjing City.
Most of the high-ranking officials in the court, especially those among the military ministers, were gone at once.
The libertines and dandies in Bianjing City have also disappeared.
Regardless of whether they are implicated or not, everyone is restrained by their family members and are not allowed to go out to cause harm to others.
The public security in Bianjing City suddenly improved by nearly 40%.
The people with good deeds actually spread the good reputation of Kou Ji in Bianjing City for not fearing the powerful.
After Kou Ji found out about this, he couldn't laugh or cry either.
However, he did not explain to the people that he was also one of the powerful people.
When Kou Ji finished handling everything and went to Zhao Zhen to deliver his orders, Zhao Zhen was training people.
As the imperial relatives and military honors were rectified, the civil and military attitude of the Manchu Dynasty towards Zhao Zhen became more and more respectful, and Zhao Zhen's majesty naturally increased a lot.
When Kou Ji entered the Zishi Hall, he saw Zhao Zhen sitting on the seat with a serious look on his face, staring at Zhang Dexiang, the new Minister of Household Affairs, standing uneasily in the Zishi Hall.
"Repeat what you just said to me..."
Zhang Dexiang is in his late fifties, with a kind-faced face and a kind-hearted look, like the kind of statues of gods enshrined in temples. He also looks very handsome and has a generous face.
Facing Zhao Zhen's very majestic words, he lowered his brows slightly and said: "I am reporting to the officials that the money confiscated from various governments has now filled the national treasury, and there is no place to put the remaining money... Minister
I want to report to the officials and borrow it from the Kou government..."
Zhao Zhen snorted lightly, and Zhang Dexiang's waist immediately bent down a little more, "I have already ordered your Ministry of Household Affairs to join hands with the Ministry of Industry to recast the treasury. Why is it still not enough?"
Zhang Dexiang lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhao Zhen wanted to get angry.
Kou Ji hurriedly said: "Kou Ji, the minister, met with the official. This matter was not the fault of the Ministry of Revenue. It was because I was in a hurry to make firearms. Before the Ministry of Works prepared to rebuild the treasury, I borrowed some manpower from the Ministry of Works.
That’s why their construction schedule was delayed.”
Zhao Zhen stared at Zhang Dexiang and said, "Since there is something hidden in it, why don't you report it truthfully?"
Zhang Dexiang raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Back to the official house, I have just been transferred back to Beijing. I only know that when the Ministry of Industry was helping the Ministry of Households to build the treasury, some people suddenly transferred away, which delayed the construction period. Where exactly did they go?
I don't know.
Since I don’t know the details, I naturally dare not speak nonsense.”
When Zhao Zhen heard this, his expression softened a bit, "You do know how to be careful with your words and deeds... I don't have to say whether the Kou Mansion can borrow it temporarily, you have to ask Kou Aiqing."
The residence of the Kou Mansion is the private property of the Kou Mansion.
Even if Zhao Zhen was the emperor, it would be difficult for him to bypass the owner of the Kou Mansion and use the Kou Mansion if his name was not justified.
The ancients had very strict laws regarding the maintenance of private property.
Such as breaking into a house without reason.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the law stipulated that if someone breaks into a house without any reason and commits a crime, no matter how big or small the crime is, the owner is not guilty of killing him.
Later dynasties had similar regulations.
It's just that it's not that strict. It stipulates a time and determines whether to do evil or not.
There are penalties for doing evil if you do evil, and there are penalties for not doing evil if you don't do evil.
But one thing is common.
That means breaking into a house at night and doing evil, and the owner is not guilty of killing him.
Zhang Dexiang heard Zhao Zhen's words, bowed to Zhao Zhen, and then bowed to Kou Ji.
"Privy Master Kou..."
Zhang Dexiang just opened his mouth.
Kou Ji interrupted him, "Just use it...but remember not to damage the flowers, plants and trees inside...or my grandfather will complain again..."
The last time the imperial court borrowed Kou's mansion, some flowers and trees inside were disturbed. Kou Zhun complained a lot about this.
It’s not that Kou Zhun is stingy.
But Kou Zhun was very concerned about the private property of Kou Mansion.
Even if it is a weed, as long as it grows in the Kou Mansion, it is the private property of the Kou Mansion.
The people in the Kou Mansion can move, but others cannot.
Zhang Dexiang bowed and said: "Don't worry, Privy Kou, I will definitely tell the people below to take good care of the Kou Mansion."
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
After Zhang Dexiang saluted again, he left Zishi Hall.
As soon as Zhang Dexiang left, Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen and said slightly curiously: "The official family is quite angry today?"
Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji, took a document from the Long Case, and ordered Chen Lin to give it to Kou Ji.
After reading it, Kou Ji's face didn't look very good.
The document is a payment document, and the protagonists are him and Zhao Zhen.
It is the document paid by King Qin issued by Shi Yuansun.
The article details various "evil deeds" between him and Zhao Zhen.
He is the kind of evil person who has sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet.
Zhao Zhen was evil because he was bewitched by him.
The article finally points out that he has now taken control of the government, secretly controlled Zhao Zhen, and carried out various evil policies through Zhao Zhen's mouth, causing harm to the world and the common people.
