Chapter 0431: Qingzhou Punishes Evil Officials [5]
Luo Yunxiao's sentence of "why" made Sima Zilong suddenly angry and almost fainted. In this world, there was only one person who asked him these 3 words, and that was his brother Sima Yue, the general of the Heavenly King. In addition, even the little emperor Sima Dezong did not ask this question.
Luo Yunxiao, a little deflated three, a little red guy, dared to ask him "why". This is the second person who dares to ask him such a rhetorical question since the beginning of the world. That Sima Yue is the first person who really holds the supreme power today, let alone ask himself, even if it is to scold and humiliate him, it is reasonable.
But what kind of thing is Luo Yunxiao! A nouveau riche on the rivers and lakes, with some strange weapons in his hands and some soldiers and horses, dare to argue with himself like this? This kid is too arrogant!
Sima Zilong pointed at Luo Yunxiao's nose on the spot and scolded angrily: "Hmph! Ignorant children, arrogant people too! What do you say Grandpa Ben is for? You first put the trick on Grandpa Ben a little brighter. Now that you are honestly letting people go, Grandpa Ben will not embarrass you, as long as you are honest and obedient in the future. Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's let people go! ”
Sima Zilong completely used the method of dealing with those ordinary people, and he wanted to suppress the momentum of Luo Yunxiao and Liu Xiangwei, but he saw the wrong person. After all, Liu Xiangwei is an authentic second-grade official of the imperial court, and his behavior is still relatively regular. He would not turn his face with Sima Zilong unless he had to.
Luo Yunxiao is very different. There is no concept of nobility and inferiority, and his impression of Sima Zilong has always been difficult to compliment. Therefore, he said unceremoniously: "General Sima, although you speak very politely, Luo is as polite as possible and gives you a little face." But if you want to release people, hehe! Luo still gives you 3 words, but you can't do it! ”
Sima Zilong was really going crazy this time, and he had the urge to pounce and strangle Luo Yunxiao to death.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiangwei didn't dare to be silent any longer. If he continues to be silent, it may inevitably cause incompatibility and lead to a mess that will be difficult to clean up. He hurriedly said, "Master Sima, please don't be impatient. This is His Majesty's will, and the corruption case is fully undertaken by General Luo, and he also appoints subordinates to assist. Here is His Majesty's decree, you might as well take a look! ”
Sima Zilong took the holy decree in his hand and looked at it, and knew that this was indeed the will of the little emperor. As a result, he was a little uneasy. After all, this represents the highest will of the country, although he doesn't regard the little emperor as a thing in his heart, he still doesn't dare to act unscrupulously and recklessly.
Just when Sima Zilong was full of confusion and at a loss, Zhongshu Ling Xue Keng spoke: "Your Majesty has issued this holy decree, we all agree, and we don't dare to discuss it." However, killing so many officials at one time in this way should only be decided after the court discussion, and you can't act so hastily! ”
Sima Zilong seemed to be suddenly awakened, nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the Chinese book has made this point to the point." This matter can only be decided after the deliberation of the civil and military officials. Liu Zhongcheng, this is not made up by my father, but it has always been a practice in our court! ”
Liu Xiangwei frowned, and said to Na Luo Yunxiao: "Yunxiao, I'm afraid this matter is a little tricky. Although the emperor made this will, he did not discuss it with the civil and military officials, so that once someone raised an inquiry, it had to be brought to the court for discussion. ”
Luo Yunxiao never thought that there would be extraneous branches, and it would become such an ending. However, after the battle of Lingshui City, he had planned to go to the capital, and he was also ready to bribe a group of court officials. At that time, I wanted them to help me get a position as a feudal official. Now he decided to change his orientation and directly win over this group of officials to vote for the corrupt officials and the revitalization of the dynasty. Sima Zilong's people must not be allowed to control the government, and even treat the little emperor as a puppet.
Thinking of this, Luo Yunxiao bowed his head and said: "Okay, then go to the court and let the officials make a distinction between right and wrong!" ”
Sima Zilong said coldly: "Luo Yunxiao, this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with you!" You are an outsider, what is the use of saying such things. You better go back to your cottage and be your mountain king! Ha ha! ”
Luo Yunxiao said without showing weakness: "Hehe! Let's not talk about the general who was awarded the 2nd rank by His Majesty. After a big victory, even if there is no credit, there is hard work, right? What's the matter, did anyone start to cross the river and tear down the bridge? Besides, Your Majesty just sealed me to do the pre-sentence imperial history, although it is only a 3-grade, but to stand on the top of the court, hehe! I'm sorry, but I should still have this qualification. Why do you say that this official is an outsider? Do you still want to put your personal will above my emperor? ”
Sima Zilong said hatefully: "Boy, don't be too complacent, I will let you know Grandpa's methods soon." ”
Luo Yunxiao knew that he was referring to using his connections to strangle his own matter in the cradle. So he ignored him anymore and began to use his own methods.
He made the intelligence system run quickly, and ordered Ye Yunjing and them to immediately raise 20 million taels of silver, ready to bombard some greedy court officials with bribes. According to the 1st grade official, 1,500,000 taels of silver; 2 officials 1 million taels of silver; 3 officials 500,000 taels of silver; 4 officials 250,000 taels of silver, at least 30 or more officials must be taken down, let them vote for their own side.
In addition, there are some more neutral and upright civil officials, who use poetry and songs to feed their Yaxing, so that they can also come to their camp. As for upright officials like Liu Xiangwei, as long as they come up with advanced ideas to influence them, then they will naturally become their allies.
There were officials of the 1st to 4th rank in the entire court, a total of 108 people. Among them, the first-class officials have the option of 8 votes; 2 rank officials are 4 votes elected; 2 votes for 3 officials; 4 officials are 1 vote, for a total of 254 votes. In other words, as long as you get more than 128 votes in this, you will get the final victory.
In order to strengthen the task of guarding all corrupt officials in Qingzhou County, Luo Yunxiao transferred 1 division of troops from his base area, 300 elite-level rangers and 900 sharpshooters, who actually came to take over Zou Xingyun's elite dragon soldiers and Han Chen's iron cavalry.
Because no matter what, Zou Xingyun and Han Chen belong to the military system. Under Sima Zilong's intervention, they could only return to Beijing with their respective men. The corrupt officials here can only be taken over by Luo Yunxiao and them. According to Sima Zilong's meaning, he wanted to let go of all the corrupt officials here first. But Luo Yunxiao ignored it and resolutely did not let anyone go.
No matter how Sima Zilong threatened and intimidated, Luo Yunxiao was uncompromising, ignored it, and refused to give up an inch of land. hated Sima Zilong so much that the roots of his teeth were itchy. But there is nothing he can do, he knows the strength around Luo Yunxiao, and he is difficult to shake for a while. Since there is nothing to be done about him now, let's wait until I return to the capital, and then come to settle accounts with him! Let's let you be proud for a few days first, and then there will be a time when you beg for mercy.
Luo Yunxiao also knew that he had offended Sima Zilong this time, so he simply went to the end with him. Anyway, sooner or later, there will be a showdown with him, and sooner or later there will be a confrontation, so it's better to have a cloud dragon duel in advance!
A few days later, Luo Yunxiao took Lin Zhonghu, Xu Jiayun and others to Jiankang City. Since then, this cloud dragon duel has quietly generated. Sima Zilong spared no effort to carry out his public relations and lobbying for his related households, related households, and relatives and friends of related households.
Luo Yunxiao is poor and white in the capital, of course, he has no connections. If he has it, only Liu Xiangwei can barely be regarded as one! However, Liu Xiangwei was very helpful, and soon contacted more than 20 officials to let him get in touch. Luo Yunxiao sent the essence of his recently newly compiled poems to these ministers with high literacy and a certain sense of justice, and the only request was to let them support their anti-corruption actions and vote for him.
The essence of this volume of poetry is indeed priceless. Just such a collection of poems was fooled by Luo Yunxiao into one first-grade official, four second-grade officials, 11 third-grade officials, and 13 fourth-grade officials. These 29 officials allowed him to get 59 votes at once, almost 1/4 of the votes.
Immediately afterwards, through the introduction of these officials who were captured by him with poetry and songs, he met a group of officials who did not have much intersection with Sima Zilong and were relatively neutral, but they were quite money-loving. So, Luo Yunxiao began his silver bombing plan.
Not to mention, after relying on the bombing of this circle, the results were remarkable, and two first-grade officials, four second-grade officials, 12 third-grade officials, and 15 fourth-grade officials were blown up at once. Although the silver taels that bombed these officials were in their entire budget, they also spent 16.75 million taels of silver, which is quite heart-wrenching to think about. However, in order to make the road ahead smoother and broader, it is quite worthwhile to invest some money in advance.
This time, Luo Yunxiao prepared with both hands and acted with both hands, and he had already obtained the required number of votes. Take the officials who laid out the silver! The number of votes in their hands was as high as 71, and the number of votes of those loyal officials added up, which was 130 votes, more than half. With these tickets in hand, you will be sure to win.
