Empress Xiao and her son were sent back to Chang'an by ship, and the other concubines and eunuchs were released home. Guo Song immediately ordered that Xiao Wanding and his son, Xiang Fei and his son, Left Prime Minister Yao Lingyan and more than a dozen evil-doing emperors be executed in a public place in Luoyang South City.
The body of Zhu Si, a relative of the country, was burned to ashes and sprinkled into the Luoshui River, while his head was hung on the city gate for public display.
All the official positions and titles conferred by Zhu Si were dismissed, and all the royal relatives were deprived of their property and demoted to common people. The only one who had a good ending was the Right Prime Minister Liu Feng.
"Liu Feng's meritorious service can be used to offset his crimes. He will be dismissed from all official positions and titles of county princes, and will be renamed Xin'an County Bo. He will also be allowed to leave half of his family property..."
This is a good ending, but what achievements he made are not mentioned in the King of Jin's order, which makes people wonder.
After Guo Song dealt with Zhu Si's remaining ministers, he immediately issued an amnesty order. Ministers, soldiers, counselors, and local officials who had not yet been convicted were all pardoned, and their crimes were no longer pursued, and they were asked to return to their hometowns as soon as possible.
Although they were not held accountable for their crimes, the official residences, manors, and shops they illegally obtained were all confiscated. In short, everything was back to before Zhu Si occupied Luoyang.
Guo Song immediately issued a tax exemption order, all parts of Henan Prefecture were exempted from tax for five years, and all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes enacted by Zhu Si were cancelled.
But the most popular thing is that Guo Song established dozens of three-gross stores in Luoyang and various counties in Henan Prefecture, and exchanged old money for new money at a price of one to two, with a limit of ten coins per household, and raised more than 100,000 yuan.
The people built water conservancy projects outside Luoyang City, dredged rivers, and repaired the city, giving them opportunities to make money through work-for-relief methods.
At the same time, a large amount of fine linen was transported from Hebei and distributed to the women in the city, allowing them to spin and weave cloth, and sew clothes and shoes. The government purchased them together, so that even the elderly women
I can also make some shoes and socks and earn some money to buy grain and salt at Sancao Store to supplement my family's income.
Guo Song considered that Zhu Si had launched wars for many years and too many young and strong men were killed. He also ordered Luoyang and Henan counties to implement Chang'an's Keats measures and give three rough coupons to the elderly and orphans every month. Although it was a simple meal,
Coarse clothes and cloth shoes, but at least they can meet their basic survival needs.
Guo Song issued more than 20 Jinwang orders in just a few days, and the whole city was boiling. Tens of thousands of Luoyang people who were preparing to transfer to Chang'an in Tongguan stopped going to Chang'an after receiving the news, and turned back one after another.
Luoyang, if there is peace at home, who would be willing to leave their hometown?
In the early morning, Guo Song woke up as usual, and Ying Caihe, who was sleeping in his arms, also woke up. Ying Caihe came two days ago. Xue Tao acquiesced to her existence and even agreed to her moving into the Jin Palace, but Ying Caihe
Caihe herself was unwilling. She was the master of Yuzhen Palace and was free. She didn't want to be restricted by various rules in the palace. She would rather be Guo Song's concubine.
Of course, this is also related to the internal sword skills she practiced. The biggest advantage of the internal sword skills is that it has a miraculous effect on the appearance. Just like Aunt Gongsun, who was more than 80 years old back then, still had outstanding qinggong. In addition to her silver hair, her skin looked beautiful.
Just like a woman in her forties, without a single wrinkle.
The same goes for Ying Caihe. She is already in her thirties, but in every aspect she still looks like a young woman in her mid-twenties. She even looks younger than Xue Tao, with no trace of fat on her body.
However, their internal sword skills must be practiced throughout their lives. Once they stop, their bodies will age rapidly. Aunt Gongsun only stopped practicing for a month before passing away.
Guo Song stroked Ying Caihe's back and felt the amazing elasticity of her skin. He smiled slightly and said, "I may go to Liaodong next time. You can go with me!"
Ying Caihe nodded meekly, and then asked: "Will the master ascend the throne soon?"
"Maybe after the Liaodong incident is over! Why, do you care about that little emperor?"
Ying Caihe suddenly became a little worried, "I treat him as my own child, and he treats me as his mother. The master promised me not to kill him."
"Since he is such a child, what's the point of killing him? Since I promised you, I won't do anything wrong!"
After a pause, Guo Song asked again: "If I remember correctly, he is almost seven years old! Is he feeling better?"
Ying Caihe smiled bitterly, "Master knows that he lives completely in his own world, no different from before?"
"Then what? Are you still playing with wood?"
Ying Caihe shook his head, "He no longer plays with wood. He likes painting and paints like crazy every day. To be honest, I don't know what he is painting. It seems to be the sun, moon and stars. The only thing he paints is This portrait is me. Empress Wang has always been worried about her. In fact, she basically doesn’t care about her children. She chants sutras every day from morning to night. She is more pious than me. At least I can still lie in the owner’s arms and enjoy the joy of fish and water. ."
Speaking of the joy of fish and water, her arms like snow lotus roots were wrapped around Guo Song's neck, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she twisted her body gently, full of hints.
"You are really understanding of me..."
Guo Song smiled again and turned over to push her down.
Three days later, Guo Song inspected all counties in Henan Prefecture. He appointed Li Bing's general Hu Benlang General Cao Shi as the general of Luoyang, led an army of 10,000 to station in Luoyang, and ordered the Luoyang Palace to be renamed Dongdu Palace and the palace gates to be closed.
Luoyang was on the right track and began to recover bit by bit. Yao Jin's army returned to Youzhou, Li Bing's army also returned to Jianghuai and the Central Plains, Zhang Yun's army was sent to Dengzhou, and only Pei Xin's army followed Guo Song's army back to the court.
Thousands of trackers pulled the ropes, and hundreds of large ships on the Luoshui River began to slowly start. They were fully loaded with treasures from the inner treasury and seized wealth and returned to Chang'an.
Guo Song stood on the five-thousand-stone ship and waved goodbye to hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait who were seeing him off. Luoyang was full of empty streets, and almost all the people came out to say goodbye to the King of Jin as he returned to the capital.
At this time, Guo Song's ship was launched, and hundreds of thousands of people knelt down and cried loudly. I don't know who took the lead first, shouting loudly: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live! Long live!"
Gradually, the shouts became one, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live! Long live!"
The shouts were like rolling thunder, resounding through the sky. This was the cry from the heart of hundreds of thousands of people and even the people all over the world. They longed for King Jin to ascend the throne as soon as possible and truly become His Majesty the Emperor who benefits the people of the world.
The corners of Guo Song's eyes were also wet. He kept waving his hands to bid farewell to these simple people. He could have recovered Luoyang earlier and spared these people from Zhu Si's poison. At this moment, Guo Song's heart was also full of guilt.
.........
In the blink of an eye, August passed quietly, autumn came, and September in Liaodong was already a bit cooler.
Yingzhou is the only state directly under the imperial court in Liaodong. To the west of Yingzhou is the Raole Dudufu of the Xi people, to the north is the Songmo Dudufu of the Khitan people, and to the east is the Andong Duhufu of the imperial court. To the north are the Sumo tribe, Heishui tribe, Shiwei tribe of the Mohe people and the Balhae Kingdom, while to the southeast is the Silla Kingdom.
This is the world of the Donghu people, where various forces are intricately intertwined, and the foundation of the Han people is Yingzhou. There are hundreds of thousands of Han people living in this small land, and they are basically engaged in farming.
But since Zhu Tao's forces retreated from Liaodong a few years ago, everything has changed. Wartime military control was implemented in Yingzhou. Men were recruited into the army, and women and the elderly were responsible for farming. With the support of the Khitan people, Zhu Tao's army continued to grow steadily year after year.
He launched a war against Silla. In just two years, Zhu Tao's army occupied the entire Andong Protectorate. Silla's power was forced to shrink to the south of the Datong River. A large number of Silla people became slaves for Zhu Tao.
Tao's army grew food.
Starting from this summer, Zhu Tao's army once again launched a large-scale attack on Silla, capturing dozens of cities in succession. The Silla army retreated steadily, and the Silla Dynasty fell into the most dangerous situation, but help from the Tang Dynasty had not yet arrived.
Liucheng County is the seat of Yingzhou Prefecture. It is a large county with tens of thousands of people living in the city. The business is relatively developed. A large number of Donghu merchants come to Liucheng to trade with various specialties.
Among the merchants in Liucheng, the majority are drug dealers. Ginseng, deer antlers, musk, tiger bones, bear bile, and all kinds of valuable medicinal materials are traded here. The drug dealers transport the medicinal materials to Youzhou and then to Chang'an.
Near the north gate of Liucheng, there is a medium-sized medicine shop called Shennong Herborist Hall. It has been open for many years, but the owner has changed in the past two years.
In fact, Shennong's Herbal Hall is an intelligence point set up by the Jin Army's internal guards in Liaodong to collect various intelligence in Liaodong. They are local drug dealers who specialize in purchasing medicinal materials sent by drug dealers of various ethnic groups, and then learn from their mouths
The situation of various tribes in Liaodong.
In addition, there are three doctors in the Shennong Herbal Hall who carry medicine boxes to treat families every day. The patients are almost all military relatives. From their mouths, they can learn about the movements of Zhu Tao's soldiers, and thus judge the changes in the situation in Silla.
The proprietor is Wang Jishan, who is in his forties, short, fat, and friendly. He was originally the leader of the Youzhou Intelligence Station. The year before last, he came to Yingzhou with eight of his subordinates to establish this intelligence station.
After nearly three years of hard work, the intelligence station is on the right track and can conduct letter eagle communications with Youzhou.
