It's the "Great Song Dynasty Ancestral System" again, Zhao Chen has long been impatient with these four words, and asked when the palace asked: "It is not a pity to deceive the monarch like this, violate the laws of the court, and bring disaster to the country and the people. If even such a crime is not enough to be punished, then why should there be any other warnings? In the future, won't other officials be able to act recklessly? ”

Chen Junqing and the others were speechless for a while, so they had to say: "Hong Shi, Liang Kejia, Wang Huai, Wei Qi and others are all ministers of the previous dynasty, and Su Ping also contributed to the imperial court, so I also ask Your Majesty to be extrajudicial and gracious." ”

In fact, after Chen Junqing saw the results of the review, he was also very angry. Although he did not agree with the new law very much, he was afraid of repeating the mistakes of Xining's law change in the past, but he absolutely did not agree to use this method to obstruct the implementation of the new law, so he also believed that the relevant personnel should be severely punished this time. But when Zhao Chen said that he would behead the eighteen main culprits, including Hong Shi, Wei Qi, Wang Huai, Sun Tao, Sun Zhixing and Lin Changfu, Chen Junqing was also startled and hurriedly came out to stop him.

Because the Great Song Dynasty has always had a system of "not killing ministers and those who speak things", as long as it is not a major crime of treason and rebellion with conclusive evidence, the emperor does not dare to execute the minister easily. It is also under this system that the remarks of the Great Song Dynasty are more **** than those of the previous dynasty, and the ministers are more daring to speak out and admonish the monarch, and even dismiss the emperor's opinions.

Zhao Chen has been the king for more than two years, and in general, he is still a relatively lenient and gentle emperor, and he did not execute any officials easily, but once he opened this door this time, I am afraid that it will inevitably stop again in the future. Therefore, although Chen Junqing knew that these people deserved to die, he had to try his best to stop them. And other ministers also have this mentality. Because no one dares to guarantee that they will not commit crimes in the future, no matter what the reason, they must not let the emperor set a precedent of killing ministers, so whether it is a minister who supports the new law or a **** new law, they will try their best to block it at this time, which is also to leave a way back for themselves in the future.

Although Zhao Ruyu and Chen Liang, who have always supported Zhao Chen, have not ****, they are also silent about this, after all, everyone hopes that the emperor they serve is a generous monarch, not a cruel emperor.

Although the facts of the case have been clarified, on the issue of how to execute the relevant personnel, a sharp confrontation has formed between the ministers and the emperor, and this time there are almost no supporters around Zhao Chen.

On June 14, after more than half a month of stalemate, the imperial court finally executed the Hunan Road people's rebellion.

Sun Tao, Sun Zhixing, Lin Changfu and other 12 main criminals were beheaded, and their families were placed under the supervision of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places, and all family property was confiscated. Hong Shi, Wei Qi, Wang Huai and others remembered that they had always contributed to the imperial court, exempted from capital crimes, removed all official positions, Hong Shi was exiled to Qiongzhou, Wei Qi was exiled to Leizhou, and Wang Huai was exiled to Qinzhou. The court has no forgiveness and is not allowed to turn back.

Liang Kejia, Wen Huan, Zhang Dechen and others, although they did not participate in the civil uprising, but they did not report the knowledge and did not argue right and wrong, Wen Huan and Zhang Dechen were dismissed from their posts for the people, and returned to their old hometowns.

The tenants who participated in the rebellion were all forced by the wealthy to be exempted from punishment, but they were placed in the government for an additional six months, and the tenants who came to Jiankang to testify were allowed to make meritorious contributions, and each was rewarded with 10 yuan and released to their families. Zheng Wenyi, the former county governor of Zhiningxiang, Yuan Kui, the county governor of Zhixiang Township, revealed Wei Qi, Sun Tao and others for meritorious service, and promoted Zheng Wenyi to know Guiyang military, and Yuan Kui to know Wugang military.

So far. The incident of the people on Jinghu South Road, which has been in turmoil for more than three months, has finally come to an end.

However, compared with the severe punishment of the relevant personnel advocated by Zhao Chen before, such a sentence seems to be much lighter. The highest official among those executed was only a five-rank Zhizhou, and none of the behind-the-scenes instigators such as Hong Shi, Wei Qi, and Wang Huai were executed, and they were all sentenced to exile. Even although Liang Kejia was dismissed in the end, he was able to settle into an idle position.

Such a result is obviously far from what Zhao Chen originally envisioned. But Emperor Zhao Chen doesn't seem to be much dissatisfied, on the contrary, in the past few days, he has been quite happy, and he jokes with the ministers from time to time in the court, and after returning to the palace, he still has the leisure to watch the song and dance. It can be seen that the emperor's mood is still very good.

It turned out that just three days before the results of the execution came out, Zhongshu passed two resolutions of Zhao Chen, one is that the Zhongshu Province will agree in the future, and the imperial court will continue to implement the new law. The second is that Zhongshu Province also agreed that if there is no major event in the Great Song Dynasty in the future, the imperial court will hold an autumn festival in October every year, borrowing the hunting field to perform martial arts, promote the spirit of martial arts, and show the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, at the beginning, Yang Yan also advocated severe punishment for the officials who planned to incite the people's uprising. Because although the system of "not killing ministers and those who speak things" prevented the emperor from killing ministers indiscriminately out of a momentary anger, it also made many just and loyal ministers dare to directly denounce the emperor's mistakes. But it also caused the entire Great Song Dynasty for more than 200 years, the punishment for the crimes of ministers was relatively light, as long as it was not a major crime of treason, almost no one would be sentenced to death, and often after exile, he could also be sentenced to ordinary sentences, group training and other idle positions. If you can live longer, wait for ten years, and the court will issue an amnesty, and it is not impossible to even recover again.

It is precisely because of this that many officials will only care about their own interests, and even do things that do not harm the interests of the imperial court. Anyway, in the end, he will not be killed, even if he is exiled, he will have a chance to make a comeback. During the Northern Expedition, the prime minister at that time, Tang Si, retired from the golden soldiers, passed the book and handed the brief, but he was only sentenced to exile. Therefore, this time, Hong Shi, Wei Qi and others dared to incite a popular uprising in order to blackmail the imperial court, and there was no reason for this.

Therefore, Zhao Chen felt the need to kill a few officials to set an example. Yang Yan also thinks that it is necessary to do so, so he is not ****. It's just that Zhao Chen didn't expect that the ****'s opinion would be so strong this time, and almost all officials disagreed.

In the end, even Zhao Qianru advised him that over the past two hundred years, it is impossible to change all the systems that have been formed in a short period of time, and the system of "not killing ministers and talkers" is not without merit, not to mention that severely punishing officials who plan to incite civil revolt does not mean that they will be sentenced to death, so forget it this time, it is better to obey the opinions of hundreds of officials.

Zhao Qianru's opinion, Zhao Chen can't help but seriously consider it. After thinking about it carefully, although I also knew that what Zhao Qianru said was reasonable, I couldn't swallow this breath in my heart>

So on the second day, Zhao Chen ascended to the court, deliberately did not mention the punishment, but proposed to change the law to continue to be implemented∫∏. The two most powerful prime ministers of the new law, Liang Kejia and Hong Shih, were suspended from their posts at this time, and the two privy envoys, Han Yanzhi and Liu Heng, also gradually accepted the new law with the scriptures, and naturally they would not stop it.

Then Zhao Chen asked about the holding of the Autumn Festival. Chen Junqing and other ministers discussed it a little and agreed. It was agreed that an autumn festival would be held during October every year.

Therefore, Zhao Chen agreed not to condemn Hong Shi and others to death. However, he insisted on beheading Sun Tao. Chen Junqing and others also think that the emperor has made great concessions with the scriptures, and he has given birth to such a big thing, it is impossible not to kill an official with a little weight, and Sun Tao is only a magistrate, not an official of the court ****, how controversial it is to kill him. So it was agreed. In this way, Sun Tao became the most **** person who was executed this time, as for Sun Zhixing and Lin Changfu, although they are local powerful forces, they are only ordinary people after all, so they are naturally not within the consideration of Chen Junqing and others.

However, although Zhao Chen pardoned the capital crimes of Hong Shi and others, he used his brains on the place of exile and assigned them all to the remote areas of Guangnan, which was the most desolate place that the Great Song Dynasty could reach, even if he did not die, he would be worn away from half his life.

However, for the emperor's arrangement, Chen Junqing and the others can no longer be involved, they must do such a thing, it would be good to be able to save their lives. As for whether a few of them can survive in the place of exile until the day of the imperial court's amnesty, then they can only resign themselves to fate.

Tanzhou, the establishment of the envoy Yamen.

Today, the yamen was very lively, with forty or fifty guests seated, and the lobby of the yamen was packed. All of them are well-dressed and distinct, but most of them have a look of surprise on their faces**, and they seem very uneasy.

They are all wealthy families in the place of Hunan Road. It can be said that all of them are full of money, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land at home. This time, he was specially invited to Tanzhou by the newly appointed envoy Shi Daren. If it is usual, there may be people who put on a local heroic spectrum and put one end of the shelf, but at this juncture, no one dares to underestimate the government, so the invitation of the envoy is set up, and they all come honestly, and many people are coming from hundreds of miles away, lest they be late.

After everyone arrived, Shi Miyuan retired all the servants? br/>

Shi Miyuan got up, arched his hand to everyone, and said, "This official is the new Jinghu South Road envoy Shi Miyuan. All of you here are big squires in the Hunan Road area, and this time I invited you here to discuss some things with you. If there is any neglect, I hope you will forgive me. ”

Everyone also hurriedly got up and saluted, saying, "Yes, yes." ”

Shi Miyuan sat down and said, "I don't need to say it, everyone knows what happened to Jinghu South Road recently. ”

As soon as he said this, many people's faces changed. Immediately, someone hurriedly argued: "Master Shi, those are all Sun Zhixing and Lin Changfu, and they have nothing to do with us." ”

The others also hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, yes, this has nothing to do with us." ”

Shi Miyuan smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, please rest assured, when this official came to Hunan Road to take office again, he made a statement to the imperial court that the main culprit should be severely punished, and the servants will not be held accountable." ”

Everyone was busy and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Shi Miyuan said: "However, this official was appointed by the imperial court to serve as the envoy of Jinghu South Road, and to implement the new law, he must first clear the land and verify the household registration. If you are offended in the future, I hope you can forgive me. You are all big squires in Hunan Road, and there must be a lot of land hijacking households at home, and I hope that you can report it yourself, so as not to hurt the harmony. ”

The others hurriedly said, "There, there." Master Shi was too polite. It is also our duty to support the decrees of the imperial court. ”

Shi Miyuan said lightly: "You don't need to say kind words, there is no one else here, so this official will not go around in circles with everyone." This official knows that in fact, it is not easy for you to save some land, but also for the sake of future generations. All of them have been checked out at once, and no one can bear it. ”

When everyone heard this, they were also greatly moved, and they all said: "Yes! Oh, yes. How easy it is for us to get this far! Or will adults be able to forgive us? ”

Shi Miyuan continued: "**Forgiveness**Forgive, but this official is also the duty, and I can't help myself." Therefore, the official has a plan in his heart, everyone will report the hidden fields at home to the households, and the official will take a risk for you, so that everyone will leave a percent. Even if the official is here as an official, how can I treat you well. ”

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and agreed one after another.

Shi Miyuan said again: "But this official has to say ugly things in front, and this official also has to serve the court **, and he has taken this risk for you, so I also hope that you can report it truthfully." If it is found out that the report is untrue in the future, then don't blame the official for not being emotional. ”

In fact, there are many people here who are planning to underreport some hidden fields, but when they heard Shi Miyuan say this, their hearts were half cold, and they begged one after another: "Lord Shi, leaving only one percent of the land is too little, can you keep more, let's leave two percent?" ”

Shi Miyuan snorted and said sharply: "What are you guys doing?" Do you bargain for buying and selling? It would be nice to be able to leave you with a piece of Ida property. Think about it, if the official can't explain to the imperial court, he will be dismissed×? Sun Zhixing and Lin Changfu are examples in front of them. ”

When Sun Zhixing and Lin Changfu were mentioned, many people began to tremble again, and they had nothing to say.

Shi Miyuan eased his breath again, and said: "Everyone go back and think about what the official just said, just give you half a month's time, and then report all the hidden fields to the households." ”
