Chapter 023 The Heart
Wen Nan drank to drown his sorrows, and soon walked out to the bottom of the table. Hong Tao also wanted to get drunk, but he really couldn't. There was still a lot of nothing waiting for him to make his own decisions. Wen Nan's idea was so cruel. It was simply an invincible sword pointing at someone who was finished, and he didn't even have the chance to defend himself.
Treason is a crime. In any era, this thing is unexplainable, and even the evidence is not necessary to be publicized. As long as you put a little edge, this person will be completely finished and will be completely destroyed from the ** to the complete destruction of his spirit. Even if he survives by chance, no one will dare to believe this person anymore. Maybe he can't walk to the city gate and will be beaten to death by those people who feel deceived.
So don't underestimate good people. The reason why good people can't fight bad people is not that they are stupid, but that their moral bottom line is high, and many tricks are unwilling to use. Once they break through this layer of constraints, they are even worse than bad people, because they know better what good people are afraid of. Jia Sidao, Ding Daquan and others think of a way to compare with Wen Nan, and the former is at the level of conventional weapons, while the latter is directly a nuclear weapon.
He asked the Marines to help Wen Nan away, Hong Tao called Jia Sidao and Ding Daquan over, took out the emperor's style, and gave them a meal and drink with him. The two guys were so grateful that they almost called their fathers. Of course, Hong Tao would not naively think that they wanted to call them fathers. Once they made them feel that their lives were worry-free, they would immediately be their fathers.
"Is this method possible?" After solving the problem of the last crab, Hong Tao wiped his hands, lit a cigar, and repeated Wen Nan's idea to the two of them. However, this method has now become his original and has nothing to do with Wen Nan.
"As soon as Your Majesty's method is released, there will be no trouble in the court. It can be said that it will be done forever." Jia Sidao opened his mouth and was stunned for several seconds before he reacted from his shock. This method is so vicious. Not only can he kill the ministers in the court, but it is not a problem to dig the ancestral tombs. And no one dares to stop him, and the people have to applaud. Now he hates his pig brain, why didn't he come up with such a solution in advance? But Emperor Hong figured it out. Isn't this equivalent to saying that he has not done his best?
"I also think so that when Your Majesty's method is released, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed. There is a booklet in my family that records the details of the interactions between the ministers in the court and the pirates. If this is used to convict them, they will have nothing to say. I dare to ask Your Majesty to hand over this matter to me for handling." Ding Daquan's reaction this time was much faster than last time, and he had been wiser by Jia Sidao. If he doesn't exert force now, his role will be too small. Emperor Hong said that he would not raise useless people.
"Very good. This matter will be left to Lord Ding. But it will be up to me to decide who will deal with it. You are not allowed to do anything privately?" Hong Tao likes to see Jia Sidao and Ding Daquan bit each other for this little bit of flesh and bones. If they don't fight and spend all their energy on themselves, it will be a bad thing.
"I dare not!" Ding Daquan was very proud. Once he got this errand, he was the imperial envoy who held the power of life and death. Although he didn't want to get rid of anyone, at least for a long time, he was really safe. I'll talk about the future. Now I can only take one step at a time.
"Don't be idle either. Lord Ding is cleaning up in the palace. Lord Jia might as well go to Lin'an City to debate loyalty and treason. I think those who dare to assassinate the officials will definitely not only be present in the palace, but they should also have a response, for example, in the garrisons in Lin'an City and in yamen at all levels. Keeping these people is also a disaster. They must be eradicated and then replaced with officials loyal to the court. What do you think?" Ding Daquan wanted to be the only one, but Hong Tao would definitely not agree. None of these two people could surpass each other, so he had to give Jia Sidao some tasks, which would make him feel a little accomplished.
"Your Majesty said so well! Your Majesty is indeed negligent. Please rest assured. Your Majesty brought people to capture these collusion bandits overnight. It is necessary to give the people of Lin'an a bright world!" Jia Sidao's eyes turned red when he heard that he had his own share here. Ding Daquan just pressed himself down. Thanks to Emperor Hong's wise and thought about himself, he gave such a great contribution to himself. It would be too ungrateful to not show his loyalty at this time. Standing and saying it is not enough to express his loyalty. It is more in line with the atmosphere when kneeling down to perform a great gift.
"Similarly, I have to give you a warning, not to disturb the people, nor can I make complaints. What I need is a stable Lin'an City and a stable court. If you two ruin my affairs, I will not give you a second chance. I am a person with clear rewards and punishments. I will reward me for the mistakes. I hope both adults will not disappoint me." After the rights allocation is completed, Hong Tao has to knock on these two materials, so as not to recognize the situation. If they sacrifice their lives, it is a big deal that will ruin their plans.
This time, Hong Tao did not add marines to Ding Daquan and Jia Sidao, but asked them to find ways to develop available military power in the captured Imperial Guards. These thousands of people cannot be kept in the same place, nor can they be killed. They must be used to make them the help of controlling the palace and controlling the Song Dynasty. As for whether Ding Daquan and Jia Sidao have this ability, Hong Tao still fully trusted them. Most people are fencemen, and as long as they have role models, they will follow the trend. The same is true for the Imperial Guards. Although they are both from good families, with the guidance of two role models like Ding Daquan and Jia Sidao, some people will always come up with the current affairs.
Silence all night, from the next day, Ding Daquan and Jia Sidao were busy working like they had been on the string. These two people were actually very capable. They used their limited number of trusted officials to influence more people separately. From the Imperial Guard to the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, they established two very executable teams in less than a day. Then they began to carry out a large-scale cleaning of Lin'an City and the Imperial Palace according to the prior plan.
Every courtier and every military general must pass the court, identify the current affairs, choose the side station, and write a confession immediately after choosing the right one. Three colleagues must be exposed before they can be considered as being a person who has made meritorious deeds and is accompanied by one or two Indian grassroots cadres. They should do whatever they should do, and they are not allowed to mention anything that happens in the palace.
Those who do not know the current affairs, cannot see the situation clearly, and do not intend to take sides, will be punished. Then they still have to write a confession letter, and still expose the so-called collusion between at least three colleagues and the fact that they collude with pirates and regicides, and then a special person will be taken into account in several halls. These people work in the palace and take up all the work they should be responsible for, without delaying at all.
The rest is people who are determined not to obey Emperor Hong and have no chance of compromise. These people don’t even need punishment. They are just the traitors hidden in the Song Dynasty court, and all the evidence of rebellion will be pointed at them one by one. Then Jia Sidao and Ding Daquan will work together to make up a reasonable story and compile all these people. After Emperor Hong made the decision, these rebellious ministers will be followed by the laws of the Song Dynasty. Those who should be killed will be punished, those who should be scouted, and those who should be exterminated. There is a condition for not killing scholars and officials in the Song Dynasty, that is, you should not rebel, and you will be charged with this crime. The laws of the Song Dynasty are not tolerant of the laws of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
"Your Majesty, please see, among your more than 400 court ministers, only seven have not written confessions against your conscience, and none of them have any officials of the third rank or above. Now most of them have returned to their respective positions to work with peace of mind, as if this has never happened. How many people have asked Your Majesty about your situation when they left the palace. I have no record, but there are definitely no more than thirty people. I wonder what you will feel after reading these confessions and exposing letters. Is your governance really good enough in this country? Are you really worthy of this emperor in everyone's eyes?" Three days later, the interrogation work was completed, and Hong Tao brought the roster to Emperor Lizong's temporary bedroom. There were only Concubine Jia and Princess accompanying him. There were Marines around him, and no one served him even when eating, drinking, sleeping. The only person who could approach the three of them was the three Swallows sent by Cixi.
