118. None of them can escape
According to rumors, Song Taizu established three ancestral teachings.
First, protect the descendants of the Chai family.
The second is not to kill scholars and officials.
The third is to not add farmland.
He also put stones and erected monuments in the Taimiao, and only the emperor after ascending the throne was allowed to see them. Others, including the crown prince, were not qualified to see them.
If you think about it carefully, it is obviously unreasonable. How can a monument be only for one person to see? Should it be dug out by yourself when the emperor wants to see it?
Let’s not talk about whether there is this monument. After traveling south, Tokyo was someone else’s, and the Taimiao was destroyed.
Just to say this, the descendants of the Chai family did not have a good ending. They died and dispersed. Finally, when Renzong arrived, they could only find someone with the Chai family who was completely invincible to win the title of the Chai family.
There is also this third article, which is even more nonsense. A farmer pays tax on more than half of the labor results every year.
As for the second thing that is kept by the scholars and officials every day, they have always maintained it well, after all, they are the beneficiaries.
But to be honest, as recorded in the official history, Song Taizu himself killed more than 80 people, from the Privy Councilor, Yuhou in front of the palace, the governor of the state, to the commander, the censor, the county magistrate, etc.
The murdered person.
Emperor Taizong of Song was not soft, and there were more than a dozen in the classics alone. However, Emperor Zhenzong only killed one, and there were indeed fewer and fewer things to come, and basically nothing was left.
Therefore, this article is mostly taught by the ancestors, but it was forcibly instilled into the emperor by the civil servants for their own interests.
The first person to do this was Fan Zhongyan, the best man in the Song Dynasty. At that time, a military officer committed a death sentence. The prime minister said he should be executed, but Mr. Fan wrote a letter to object, and that's what he said.
"Since my ancestors, I have never easily killed my ministers. This is a great virtue, so why do you want to easily destroy them? Moreover, I and the Duke are here, and how many people are in the same heart among my colleagues? Even though the superiors do not know what they have determined, they are guided by the ruler.
The killing of subordinates is a slippery day, and even if we do not dare to protect ourselves.”
The core reason is that he is afraid that the emperor will be "slipped". His purpose is to completely turn the less killing into not killing, and he will ignore the laws and regulations for this. From this point of view, no matter how great a scholar is, he will have a selfish position.
Since then, I really haven't killed much. At least, I don't need a knife to kill. So those who are exiled to death or those who die in fear are not counted...
After crossing the south, Emperor Gaozong raised his butcher's knife again and killed him.
Now, the Zhong King has not even had the title of crown prince yet, and he is planning to do a big fight, which has made the ministers frightened.
However, Zhao Mengqi pondered for a while, and looked thoughtful, "Start immediately, Lin'an will implement a curfew, strengthen the city gate defense, and immediately search for spies, but if the court officials are involved, you must ask the Political Affairs Hall, and the prisoners after the arrest are temporarily
Don't try it now."
After saying that, Zhao Mengqi turned around and smiled at Zhao Yun, "Father, is it appropriate to deal with me?"
You've decided, still ask?
Zhao Yun waved his hand angrily, "Okay!"
"Yes!" Gu Qing received the order, "In addition, the people in Baoen Temple will be punished and the crime will be reported later. The subordinates will go to assign official duties first."
Seeing Gu Qing leave, the ministers breathed a little relieved. Fortunately, the Zhongwang was not crazy and his orders were very restrained.
But I saw Zhao Mengqi grinning and smiling at them with big white teeth, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
"I know what many of you are thinking. Most of you think that I made this case. Hehe, it's not true, so I don't have to be anxious to arrest people. Later, we will review it on the spot and handle it on the spot. It will definitely be public.
Justice, no one involved in the case can escape, but most of them are here anyway.”
hiss!
The ministers were shocked and it turned out that King Zhong was making this idea!
He was right. Most of the officials in Beijing were on the spot. How could they run away?
In fact, according to Zhao Mengqi's original plan, he did strike while the iron was hot, and used Juezhen to be suspected of pursuing rebellion and used the fastest way to copy it, because the charge of pursuing rebellion was fictional, but as long as the person who conspired was caught,
Naturally, the crime can be found.
But he heard from Gu Qing that it was not framed according to the original plan, but that it was really found out the military armor. What was even more surprising was that it was really a spy from the Northern Kingdom.
Since you can achieve your goal with high sound, why don’t you follow the procedures? No one has anything to say in this way.
Zhao Yun on the imperial throne sighed in his heart. This kid is indeed very energetic. He doesn’t know whether it’s a blessing or a disaster. Let’s watch it. If it’s too much, just hold it down again.
But he didn't notice that Dong Songchen, who was standing on the edge of the platform, was shaking his legs very hard.
Not long after, amid the noise of the people, the man in front of the hall, Shi Huai, was escorting people. Because they were originally from the hall, they went directly into the court meeting area and just wanted to keep a distance from the imperial throne.
At this time, many people recognized Juezhen. Although he did not have the style of a monk in the past, his signature black face was impossible to be wrong.
The leather armor on Juezhen and more than a dozen monks made the people begin to believe in the fact of rebellion. They all remembered that the source of the rumors of the evil dragon was this black monk. They couldn't help but become more suspicious of the statement that the Zhongwang was an evil dragon, but they were in their hearts.
What I am more concerned about is how to solve sleeping disease.
After seeing Juezhen wearing armor with his own eyes, many officials, especially the Censorate, had already become dark and began to imagine the funeral.
After the offender was ready, the people from the Imperial City Department began to show evidence.
First there was a bunch of weapons, there was nothing to say. Everyone had heard of it, but then there were large boxes after another, moved from the ox cart and placed on the Imperial Street.
Hou Tao, the Imperial City Officer, stepped forward and opened one at a glance. The silver light was shining, and another one was shining with golden light.
"This is a valuable property found. More than 47,000 taels of silver, more than 7,000 taels of gold, 32 dou of pearls, and the rest of the gems and jades cannot be counted. Jiaozi is about 300,000 to 500,000 guan, and it is empty.
There are fifty-six proofs and more than 133,000 copper coins that have not been moved... Many of the above are not calculated in detail, and are rough estimates, or errors may occur."
The people were shocked. Many of them saw so much money with their own eyes for the first time in their lives.
If all this is converted into copper coins, it is only a lot more than one million coins.
Are monks so rich?
To be honest, for a temple with a history of four or five hundred years, this amount of money is really not much.
Do you think monks only rely on incense money?
Obviously not. Temples generally have a large amount of land, donated by believers and bought one after another, but they are all tax-free.
They also have other unknown real estate, store properties, and the most important business is lending. In this era, it was equivalent to money shops, such as the Dasangkyuji Temple in Tokyo before and even issued banknotes such as treasury tickets.
In fact, many of these temple properties have nothing to do with rebellious cases, but who made Juezhen the actual controller of Baoen Temple?
When Zhao Yun saw this money, he felt mixed feelings. He wanted to practice the Yusheng Temple, but he had to piece it together. These bald donkeys were so rich.
It’s not that the emperor is really poorer than these monks, but that the expenses are greater, and the money he came in is gone soon. Moreover, at this time, the finances of the Song Dynasty did begin to be scarce.
At this moment, Zhao Yun had an idea, which was to copy the entire Lin'an temple, which would probably be as high as the taxes of the entire Song Dynasty for several years.
But it's just a thought. If this happens, countless people will rebel immediately.
It would be good if I could use this money to fill the inner warehouse, and I would always be more affordable.
Not only Zhao Yun had the idea of making money, but even officials from the Ministry of Revenue were staring at the money and their eyes were shining.
The monarch and minister who were stunned by this large sum of money almost forgot their business until Hou Tao spoke, "The reason why they used these money and materials as evidence is that Juezhen's party used money to bribe many officials to facilitate their indiscretions.
,The account book is used as evidence, and the account book is secretly recorded, and it takes time to sort out and verify it."
