Chapter 222: Bad News in the Northeast
As soon as Gao Xiaoyun's words came out, he shocked all the officials in the imperial study. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He Hengrui, Li Minhao couldn't help but sigh secretly, Gao Xiaoyun really colluded with Yang Yue.
Take the opportunity to fall into the well, so that all the arrested officials will never turn over.
On the dragon chair, Yang Mingkun's face was slightly stunned, and he was also a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Zuo Servant shot, according to the law, Liu Zuoyang's crimes should be copied and beheaded all over the house, and the nine clans should be punished." Zhongshuling suggests, generosity and benevolence, you don't agree, do you have other concerns? ā
At this time, Gao Xiaoyun's eyes spotted He Hengrui, Li Minhao, Zhang Shaoqing, Yang Yue, all the officials, and their eyes were all focused on him.
Gao Xiaoyun suddenly realized, including the emperor and everyone in the imperial study, did not understand his thoughts.
He explained without hesitation: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood Weichen's meaning, and Weichen did not agree with the suggestion of the Zhongshu Order, because the Zhongshu Order punished the Wei family, the Liu family, the Xue family, and all the officials involved too severely. ā
Call!
He Hengrui, Li Minhao, Wang Mingfan and other officials with tense thoughts couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Gao Xiaoyun, an official from the army, did not kill Liu Zuoyang and the three of them, why is this?
"Zuo Servant Shot, do you have any suggestions, speak freely!" Yang Mingkun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to fill his hands with too much blood.
Gao Xiaoyun said loudly: "The emperor has always been kind-hearted and lenient to his courtiers, today, he suddenly punished Liu Zuoyang, Wei Changfeng, and Xue Mingkun, which will make court officials mistakenly think that when the emperor implements reforms, they will make an example of chickens and monkeys."
At that time, those who did not agree with the change, or whose benefits were diminished by the change, learned of the emperor's attitude, and were bound to unite against the imperial court.
Invisibly, change adds a lot of difficulty.
In addition, the Liu family, the Wei family, and the Xue family have lasted for hundreds of years, and they are deeply rooted in Guanzhong, and their influence is not weak. If the Liu family, the Wei family, and the Xue family are severely punished, it will make the people of Guanzhong panic. ā
Gao Xiaoyun's words are reasonable and well-founded, similar to Yang Mingkun's style of doing things, and he controls the harm to a very small extent.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Determining that Gao Xiaoyun's suggestion was not radical, but soft, Li Minhao hurriedly stood up and seconded it.
However, Yang Mingkun did not have a regular meeting, and continued to ask Gao Xiaoyun: "Zuo Servant, you don't agree with Zhongshuling's suggestion, what are you going to do?" ā
"Your Majesty, Wechen believes that in view of the sincerity of Liu Zuoyang's three confessions and their willingness to compensate for the losses of the court, Wechen suggests that they be removed from their official titles and all property outside the three mansions should be confiscated." Gao Xiaoyun did not hesitate to make a suggestion.
He doesn't intend to kill people in the midst of change, so that the change is full of blood.
Yang Mingkun's expression was stunned, and his eyes were fixed on Gao Xiaoyun, if it weren't for the fact that Gao Xiaoyun was loyal to the court.
At this moment, he would think that Gao Xiaoyun and Liu Zuoyang were in collusion, embarrassed, and embezzled the official silver of the imperial court. I can't help but ask: "That's all?" ā
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that the situation is not suitable for expansion." Gao Xiaoyun shook his head and cut the railway.
"Rokuro, what do you think?" Yang Mingkun turned his head and shifted his gaze to Yang Yue.
Liu Zuoyang and the three of them were all captured by Yang Yue, and Liu Zuoyang was not dealt with in the official silver case, their father and son had suspicions, and when it came to change, he needed to reuse Yang Yue, so Yang Yue's attitude was very important.
Yang Yue had no extra ideas, and Gao Xiaoyun suggested that Liu Zuoyang, Wei Changkong, and Xue Mingkun be dismissed, and the three family properties should be confiscated, which met his expectations in advance.
Moreover, Pei Yongke personally went to his mansion to intercede, and Yang Yue gave the other party thin noodles.
However, Yang Yue got up, still looking serious, and said loudly; "Father, the left servant shot the suggestion, and the son has no objection. However, in the implementation of the reform, everything in the process of change must be handled in accordance with the law. Therefore, Erchen suggested that the country should be governed according to law from today. ā
"Yes, there are no rules, there is no circle, write a decree, you should govern the country according to the decree, and you should not make an example!" Yang Mingkun bowed his head and agreed with Yang Yue's suggestion.
At this time, He Hengrui, Li Minhao, Wang Mingfan, Gao Shengyan, and Yongkuo were secretly sad.
Yang Yue's words undoubtedly warned everyone present that from today onwards, violating the imperial court decrees will be severely punished, and the whole house will be beheaded, and the nine clans will be punished, which may happen.
The ministers were silent, Yang Mingkun took a sip of the teacup, and instructed Wang Mingfan, the secretary of the Criminal Department: "Wang Shangshu, Liu Zuoyang, Wei Changfeng, and Xue Mingkun's affairs are left to you to deal with." ā
"Yes!" Wang Mingfan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up and saluted to receive the order.
In an instant, Wang Mingfan asked again: "Your Majesty, how should Liangzhou assassin Shi Wei Changkong be convicted, and should it be dealt with together with Liu Zuoyang's case?" ā
"Wei Changkong has a life, and he must be exiled to Southern Xinjiang!" Yang Mingkun did not hesitate, and his words were strong.
"Yes!"
Regarding Liu Zuoyang's case, the imperial court has a qualitative character.
Leaving the imperial study, Wang Mingfan acted quickly, the Liu family, the Xue family, the Wei family, lost money and food, kept the old house, and saved their lives, in Wang Mingfan's view, it was a blessing in misfortune.
On the same day, Wang Mingfan took the officials of the criminal department to raid the Liu family, the Xue family, and the Wei family, and confiscated all the gold and silver, shops, and fertile land of the three families.
The Liu family, the Wei family, and the Xue family, who were rich enough to rival the country in the past, suffered this catastrophe, and only the mansions remained, and they had to be in the sky for a day and on the ground for a day.
In the blink of an eye, there is a difference between cloud and mud.
However, Liu Zuoyang, Xue Mingkun, and Wei Changfeng were safe and sound, and after Wang Mingfan raided his home, they went to the prison of the Criminal Department and released the three people.
The thunderous momentum of the court, dealing with the four surnames in Guanzhong, caused an uproar among the people.
In particular, the people who lost their fertile land learned that all the fertile land of the Liu family, the Wei family, and the Xue family had been confiscated, and soon the household department would distribute it to the people who had lost their land, and they cheered.
At the same time, many officials and landlords inside and outside Chang'an City became shudder and creepy when they learned that the Liu family, the Wei family, the Xue family, and the three families had ended.
The implementation of the reform, the interests of the family are damaged, and if they resist the change, they may end up with the same fate as the Liu family, the Wei family, and the Xue family, and they will be raided, their fields will be confiscated, and in the end, they will be reduced to the last family.
Therefore, many families, when inspecting and measuring the land, agree on the surface, but secretly, they hate Yang Yue to the core.
In this way, it should have been a peaceful winter, but in the planning of these people, something unfortunate happened.
At the end of October, the messengers sent by Jizhou Thorn Shi quickly whipped up their horses and returned to Chang'an.
In the excerpt, it is reported that when the prince of Silla traveled to the north, he was hacked to death at the inn where he was staying, and his body hung at the door of the inn.
At the beginning of November, Li Xuanji, who was stationed in Youzhou, sent a messenger to send back the news that a Khitan caravan had been brutally killed in the inn, and in this caravan, there was a hidden young son of the Khitan Zuoxian King.
In mid-November, Silla and the Khitan fought without declaring war, and the two sides united and sent heavy troops to attack Yingkou, an important town in the north.
When the news came back, the atmosphere in Chang'an, which had not yet receded, became tense again.
Yang Yue learned that Yingkou had been attacked through secret agents, but when the court implemented the reform, Yang Yue did not take the Khitan and Silla coalition forces to heart.
After all, Yingkou belongs to Pinglu and is the place where Han Xifan is stationed in Hedong Jiedu.
The three are fighting, and he likes to hear it. (To be continued.) )
