(Girls' Literature)

Yang Yan and Li Xianzhong retreated to the side hall. Go and plan to quell the chaos. The issue of dealing with external problems has also come to an end for the time being. The issue returned to the standard and scope of punishment for officials involved in the rebellion.

At this time, Zhou Kui came out of the ranks. "Your Majesty." Naturally, all officials involved in the rebellion should be punished according to the law. For those who did not actually participate in the rebellion. However, the officials who were forced to pay homage to King Deng were also extraordinarily gracious to His Majesty. It should not be held accountable. ”

Ye Hao also said: "Those officials don't really support King Deng. I was just forced by the situation at the time. Only then can it not be false and wronged. It's also understandable. I hope that Your Majesty will be forgiving. ”

Zhao Chen listened. Moaned slightly. And Chen Junqing listened. But I felt a little uncomfortable. Said: "He is an official of the imperial court." Be faithful to your country. When necessary, sacrifice yourself. How can you be subservient to a traitor? Otherwise, what is the use of the imperial court asking for such officials. If it is not punished. Let's ask if there will be any rebellion in the future. Who is willing to do his best for the court? ”

。 Among them, Shi Miyuan is a party. Basically, they have participated in the rebellion. There can be no doubt that they should be punished. It's just a sentencing issue. But during the rebellion. Shi Miyuan once forced the minister to visit Zhao Hong as a monarch and minister. Although a few officials such as Chen Junqing, Ye Hao, and Zhou Kui sternly refused. But the vast majority of officials were still forced by the power of Zhao Hong, Shi Miyuan and others at that time. They all paid homage to Zhao Hong with courtesy. There were ninety-one people in total.

Now the rebellion has subsided. All ministers who have participated in this experience are wary. Although they did not participate in the rebellion. But after all, they have all visited Zhao Hong. Charges can be large or small. It's all up to the emperor. Therefore, they are all trying to find a way to move. Many of them had private friendships with Ye Hao and Zhou Kui. So they all asked the two of them. Try to open yourself up in front of the emperor. In fact, many of these people are Chen Junqing's protégés. However, Chen Junqing is notoriously selfless. People who don't rub a little bit of sand. But no one dared to go to him.

Although Zhao Chen is young. But I also know that there is a human accident here. Like Chen Junqing said. When the time comes. After all, there are still a few people who can sacrifice their lives for righteousness. At this time, most people are probably "Junjie" in intellectual affairs. And if all these officials are punished. I am afraid that the DPRK and China will replace more than half of the officials. It is also not conducive to the stability of the DPRK situation. But if that's it, it's all gone. Zhao Chen was also a little unwilling. Just like Chen Junqing said. If they are not punished. In the future, there will be rebels. Who will do their best for the court.

At this time, Han Yan went straight out of the ranks. Said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion." Although the officials who have visited King Deng are all willing. But penalties should also be imposed. Otherwise, it is not enough to be in the right direction. However, the penalties should not be excessive. Because they hadn't really been involved in the rebellion after all. And that's not all. Those who did not give in to the pressure of the rebels. Officials who refuse to pay homage to King Deng should also be rewarded. In order to show that the court rewards and punishments are clear. Your Majesty's wise decision. ”

Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction. said: "Han Qing's theory." Girls' literature is updated for the first time, which is very much in line with my heart. So how should the club be rewarded and punished? ”

Han Yan said straightly: "The officials who refuse to pay homage to King Deng will be promoted to one rank. And the officials who visited King Deng were all demoted to the second rank. and a fine of three months. Then look at the after-effects. ”

Zhao Chen pondered for a while. Cai said: "What do you think of Han Qing's opinion?" ”

Zhou Kui and Ye Hao both said: "The minister thinks that Han Xiang's words are feasible. ”

Chen Junqing hesitated. also said: "The minister also thinks it is feasible." ”

In fact, the punishment of Han Yanzhi's suggestion is not very heavy. The officials of the Great Song Dynasty have always attached great importance to their duties rather than ranks. Therefore, although the official rank was lowered by two ranks. As long as the position remains the same. The impact on officials is not great. If you do it honestly for a few years. The rank will still be raised step by step. As for punishment, it's not a big deal. Because the Great Song Dynasty is very rich in addition to official service. There are also many subsidies. And most of the officials have savings or land. It won't make much of a difference to their lives.

Zhao Chen naturally knew about these situations. However, for the time being, it is still necessary to stabilize the overall situation. The purpose of punishing these officials. Just give them a warning. Stop being speculative. Therefore, the punishment can only be stopped. You can't replace all these 90 or so officials in one go, like that. It was not for many months for the imperial court to return to normal. What's more, Zhao Chen didn't believe it. After the failure of the rebellion of Zhao Hong and Shi Miyuan. In the short term, there will be people who will dare to rebel again.

Therefore, Zhao Chen nodded. said: "Then it is as Han Qing played." However, this is limited to officials who are not involved in the insurgency. Officials who have been involved in the rebellion must be thoroughly investigated. No one shall be left behind. The guilt is discussed by the three legal divisions. Then hand it over to me Yulan. ”

Han Yanzhi and the other four hurriedly said in unison: "Ministers." ”

At this time, Li Xianzhong and Yang Yan went through some research. also made the withdrawal of troops and the arrangement of quelling the chaos on both sides:

The imperial garrison of Xiangyang Prefecture was under the command of Shi Jun's return army to Xiangyang garrison. Girls' literature is updated for the first time, and temporarily serves as the commander of the imperial garrison of Ande Mansion. And the army was stationed in the Xinyang army. Block Li Quan's way to the west. The Gwangju Imperial Front garrison was under the control of Liu Fuwu after returning to the army. Divide the troops and garrison Caizhou. An Fengjun. Block the route of Li Quan's army to the north and east. The imperial garrison of Haozhou was under the control of Zhang Shiyan, and he was temporarily divided into Yingzhou and Shouzhou. The commander of the Huaixi Soldiers and Horses, Bi Zaiyu, led the infantry army division to retreat and garrison the Loess Pass. In case Li Quan's army moved south into the Dabie Mountains. In this way. It formed a situation of encirclement on all sides of Li's whole army. The four people are all controlled by Bi Zaiyu.

On the other side. The Xuyi army was under the command of Guo Zhen and Li Gongzuo, the commander of the imperial garrison of Chuzhou, and they returned to the army to garrison. Cao Xun, the commander of the Huaidong Soldiers and Horses, led the infantry army to the left and right armies, and dispatched a naval army from Chuzhou. Go to the Taihu Lake area. Conquer the remnants of the rebels there.

Then Ling Xiang led 5,000 men and horses. Immediately rushed to Lin'an Mansion. Together with the prefect of Lin'an. Girls' literature was updated for the first time, and the Deng Wangfu was raided. Search for the remnants of Zhao Hong's stay in Lin'an Mansion. He was sent to Jiankang to punish the crime. Although the garrison of Jiankang is only more than 30,000 now. But there are Li Xianzhong and Yang Yan in Jiankang. There shouldn't be a big problem. At the same time, you can first mobilize some men from the surrounding areas to increase the troops.

And in a few more days. In addition, several soldiers and horses of the three yaban soldiers who fought on the front line of Jianghuai: the front and rear armies of the palace and the two armies of the horse army Si Feiqi and Weiyuan, together with the privy envoy Wang Yan who supervised the battle on the front line, all withdrew to Jiankang Mansion to garrison.

Han Yanzhi, Zhou Kui, Ye Hao, Chen Junqing and others saw this plan. They also think that the arrangement is very thorough. There are no objections. So Zhao Chen immediately made an order. Deploy troops according to the plan.

After the dispersal of the dynasty. Zhao Chen returned to the harem. Go straight to the Queen's bedchamber. I didn't wait to enter the palace gate. I saw Queen Yue Ying leading Concubine Xie. and a team of palace attendants waiting out of the palace.

met Zhao Chen. Yue Ying was about to give a salute. Zhao Chen hurriedly grabbed her. "Didn't I say it a long time ago?" The queen is pregnant. Physical inconvenience. These etiquettes are waived. Why is it here again today. He was a little angry with Concubine Xie and Concubine Han and said, "I didn't let the two of you take charge of the affairs of the palace instead of the queen. How did you do it. Why don't you persuade the queen? ”

It turned out that Ming Yueying had been pregnant for more than eight months. In order for her to be able to raise the baby with peace of mind. Zhao Chen and Empress Dowager Zhou had already waived her daily routine greetings and greetings. And the affairs of the harem are also handled by Concubine Han and Concubine Yang. Just rest in peace. In this rebellion though. Yang Cishan, the elder brother of Concubine Yang, participated. Therefore, now Concubine Yang has been imprisoned in the palace. Loss of freedom. It was up to Concubine Xie and Concubine Han to handle all kinds of affairs in the palace.

Concubine Xie and Concubine Han heard it. Frightened, he hurriedly knelt down. said in a loud voice: "The official family blames it." Girls' literature is updated for the first time, and they are all concubines who should be damned. ”

Yue Ying hurriedly said: "Official." Don't blame them. It was the concubine herself who wanted to come. ”

Zhao Chen frowned. "And why?" ”

Yue Ying waved her hand to make everyone else stand back. Only then did he say: "Official." Twelve Niang took Mi'er into the palace to ask for sin. has been kneeling at the gate of the palace. I can't persuade you. Concubine Han and Concubine Xie didn't dare to deal with it on their own. That's why I reported to the concubine. ”

Zhao Chen listened. I was also stunned. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. said: "How can she join in this fun." ”

Yue Ying said: "King Deng is her nephew in the end. Qin'er is King Deng's own sister. Something like this happened. Naturally, she couldn't feel at ease. I'm afraid that only the official family can untie this knot for her. ”

After Zhao Wanru and Yue Ke got married. The two lived in Jiankang. And Zhao Mi has also been living in Lin'an. Raised by their husband and wife. During the rebellion. Girls' literature when Zhao Hong recruited ministers. He also sent people to recruit Yue Ke and Zhao Wanru. But both were rejected. Zhao Hong was helpless. And there were so many things to deal with at the time. So I thought about waiting until the big thing was successful. I'll just stop for the time being. And after the rebellion was put down. Zhao Wanru immediately took Zhao Mi into the palace to plead guilty. Although Zhao Wanru is Zhao Hong's aunt. But she is also the queen's brother-in-law. And he has always had a good relationship with the queen. Therefore, Concubine Han and Concubine Xie did not dare to slack off. hurriedly told Yue Ying.

After Yue Ying learned about it. also knew that only Zhao Chen's words were useful. Therefore, he sent an attendant to inquire about the time of Zhao Chen's next dynasty. Wait for Zhao Chen to get down. immediately came to greet Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What kind of person does she think of me?" Do you think that I will sin against her and her for this? And why do you have to do this? ”

Yue Ying smiled slightly: "Of course, the concubine knows that the official's family is kind-hearted. What's more, Twelve Niang and Mi'er didn't know that King Deng would rebel. Girls' literature was also not involved in the rebellion. Naturally, the official family will not offend them. I don't think Twelve Niang may not know this. But they and Zhao Hong are close relatives in the end. It is inevitable that they will be implicated. As others say. It's better to take the initiative to ask for sin. It was issued by the official himself. ”

Zhao Chen smiled bitterly again. Of course, I understand what Yue Ying means. After the failure of Zhao Hong's rebellion. Although Zhao Chen may not be guilty of them. But there must be a lot of people who fall into the well. Zhao Hong has not yet begun. The only relatives are Zhao Wanru and Zhao Mi. It will inevitably become the object of people's attacks in the future. Therefore, it is better to take the initiative to enter the palace to ask for sin. Zhao Chen sent it down first. Whatever the outcome. It's all a foregone conclusion. In the future, the other ministers will not be talking about anything. So he nodded. said: "The queen will go with me." ”

Yue Yingyan smiled. said: "The concubines should accompany themselves." ”

The two came outside the palace. I saw that Zhao Wanru and Zhao Mi were both dressed in white. Get on your knees. There were more than a dozen palace maids standing around. Zhao Chen sighed again. He said to the attendants beside him, "Help them up." ”

The two chamberlains hurriedly walked over. "Princess." Princess. The officials told you to get up. Don't kneel anymore. I'll talk about it later. "One by one. Pick up the two.

In fact, the two of them really knelt for a long time. Both legs were sore and numb. Zhao Wanru is better. Zhao Mi was not yet fifteen years old. Always pampered. There have been such hardships. After getting up. I can't even stand on my feet. It's all up to the waiters. I didn't fall.

Zhao Chen shook his head. He smiled bitterly and said, "Twelve Niang." Why do you have any trouble with this? Let the secretion be so young. and such sins. Then he ordered a chair to be brought in. Let the two of them sit down. And he said, "Be of good cheer." This rebellion was the work of King Deng. It has nothing to do with you. I will not inflict sin on you. ”

Zhao Wanru shook her head. Said: "Official." One way or another. King Deng is my closest relative to Mi'er. Even if it has nothing to do with it. There is no place for innocence. The government is also invited to punish the crime. ”

Yue Ying also said: "Official." Twelve Niang said yes. In the end, they have a close relationship with King Deng. If you don't punish Twelve Niang and Mi'er. It's hard to obey even if you're afraid. Look at the concubines. demoted the Twelve Niang to the county lord. He was demoted to the county lord. Spend a year thinking behind closed doors at home. Do not go out without permission. I don't know what the official family wants. ”

Of course, Zhao Chen understood what Yue Ying meant. Symbolically, the honorific titles of the two were lowered by one level. There is also an explanation for the courtiers. And there is no substantial punishment for the two. You can also find an opportunity in the future. Recovered again. I thought about it behind closed doors at home. In fact, it reduces a lot of trouble. So he nodded. Said: "Then just as the queen said." Rest assured. ”

At this time, Zhao Mi sat for a while, his blood was also active, and he knelt down again and said, "Please ask the official family." My brother is not dead with the scriptures. ”

Zhao Chen remembered that Zhao Hong's mind had been lost. I couldn't help but be silent for a long time. before nodding. "Yes." Hong'er's thing. I don't want that. It's just that things have come to this point. There's nothing I can do about it. Secretion. Hope you understand. Don't blame me for being ruthless. What do you need in the future? Come to me. ”

Zhao Mi said: "My brother is guilty of treason. There is no pardon. The official family was able to take my aunt and me lightly. She couldn't be more grateful. How dare you resent the officials? It's just that my brother died. All crimes have been cleared. There are no other requirements. I only ask the officials to be merciful. Return your brother's body to her son. Let him be buried properly. Push up the daisies. Only the official family is invited. ”

Zhao Chen smiled bitterly again. "Okay. Wait until the rebellion is over. I will return King Deng's body to you. Lay him well. ”
