Chapter 020: The Great Purge
"The subordinate will not disgrace his mission, and he will retire first......" Jia Rudao was very satisfied, now he is no longer a prisoner, and has become a minister with soldiers in his hands. Although www.biquge.info said that these soldiers don't all listen to themselves, it's always a good start.
And he is more optimistic about Hong Tao's overall plan in his heart, if he can really control the emperor and ministers, and then have enough manpower to be placed next to the chief officials of every state and county, then the Great Song Dynasty may really be surnamed Hong soon. As for the issue of the army, Jia Rudao did not consider it. Emperor Hong started by force, as long as you look at these elite soldiers and fierce generals he brought, you will know what the Great Song army is, thousands of imperial forest troops were wiped out before they even lasted an hour, and what kind of war are you talking about. Now he is gambling, using himself and his family to make a bet on a relatively better future.
This opportunity may not be available in the future, according to Emperor Hong's thinking, there is no need for too many ministers to help at all, what is needed is only in their name. After the authorities are stabilized, the fate of these Great Song courtiers should be miserable, and they will inevitably be slowly eliminated under various names, and it will be considered that Emperor Hong will be merciful if they can live. If you can seize this opportunity, not only can you live, but you can also get some power.
As for whether Emperor Hong would unload the mill and kill the donkey, Jia Rudao didn't think about this meaningless question at all. In his opinion, if a donkey cannot find a job pulling a mill, it must be killed. If the owner does not kill and raises the donkey for nothing, the owner is not qualified. This donkey eats and drinks for nothing and does not work, and is bound to seize the resources of other donkeys. Resources are limited, and the most capable donkey should be qualified to possess them, and he was born with such a donkey.
"Your Majesty...... Xia Guan also has a suggestion, I don't know if I should talk about it...... "When Jia Yidao returned to the main hall with the marines, found four of his descendants from among the hundred officials locked there, and ran with four people to pay allegiance to Emperor Hong, and then was praised by Emperor Hong, and was granted the power of life and death, and rode a tall horse out of the palace to run an errand, Ding Daquan, who had been shrinking in a chair to listen with his ears, see with his eyes, and think with his brain, also became enlightened.
He hated it so much! Hate yourself! hated himself for not seeing the situation clearly earlier, so that Jia Rudao, the sinister villain, took the lead and took the lead. What a meritorious achievement! In the eyes of any generation of founding monarchs, it is a great achievement, even if it may be liquidated in the future, but this risk is almost equal to zero in the eyes of politicians, just like choking to death if you eat, it is too natural. And Jia Rudao's current choice is also the only way out that can save his life and save his family's life, and he actually watched it slip away from him.
However, it is not too late to repent, Jia Rudao can use his identity and power in the Great Song Dynasty to help Emperor Hong stabilize the situation in Lin'an City, then his status is already higher than him, and his power is stronger than him, and his role should naturally be greater than him. It is no longer enough to show his ability to stabilize Lin'an, and he must give Emperor Hong a more powerful idea to reflect the value of his life.
"Oh! Master Ding's ability to adapt to the environment is very strong, and he began to work so quickly! Well, that's good! I need such a partner who understands current affairs, knows how to advance and retreat, and has the ability. Remember, you used to be the emperor's courtiers, but now you are not. In my place, there is no courtier who is not a courtier, and I can't be the father of so many people. As long as they are with me, they are all my partners, just like businessmen do business, partners! In the end, the money earned will be distributed according to how much everyone contributes. Got it? Lord Ding! Hong Tao smiled more philistines and philistines, and tried to make his image more vulgar. He just wants to psychologically break the bottom line of these Great Song literati, not only to make them disgusting themselves, but also to have to give in to themselves. After a long time, they themselves will not adhere to the original standard of life, because with such a very suitable target as themselves, they can find an excuse to degenerate.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the lower officials don't dare to ......" The cold sweat on Ding Daquan's face came down again, he had never been hugged by an emperor on his shoulders, he was both shocked and afraid.
"Come, I'll help you light it, breathe evenly, and then tell me your advice." Hong Tao didn't think he was disgusting enough, so he picked up another cigar, regardless of whether Ding Daquan smoked or not, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and personally lit it for him. Only then did he pat Ding Daquan on the shoulder, hugged the pile of timid stinky meat, and sat back in his chair.
"Your Majesty asked the subordinate to draft the holy decree, and the subordinate will go all out. However, this holy decree had to be reconsidered by Dong Xiang and his subordinate officials before it could be passed, and once Dong Xiang refused, the holy decree still could not leave the palace. Even if His Majesty has the means to get them to sign this time, it will still be troublesome next time. Xia Guan has a way to complete all the processes of His Majesty's future decree smoothly, except for the admonition, there is no mistake. ”、
Ding Daquan usually doesn't smoke much, and he doesn't like the taste of cigars very much, but this cigar was ordered by Hong Tao himself, and it will definitely not work if he doesn't smoke. Not only do you have to smoke it, but you also have to smoke it deliciously, and even if your eyes are irritated by the smoke, you can't dodge. Blinding a person can still live, making Emperor Hong angry, and his whole family has no hope.
"Here, put the cigarette on this, and go on!" Hong Tao is not very clear about the twists and turns in the Great Song government, Wen Nan is clear, but he is a person with a bottom line, and he can't think of a way to be too fucked. Hong Tao attaches great importance to Ding Daquan's suggestion, and extraordinary means must be used in extraordinary times, and this is not the time to talk about rules and reason. Even in later European and American countries, there were special wartime laws in times of war.
"Actually, it's very simple, use Your Majesty's means to get those who don't want to second the motion to resign. Then the lower officials will propose new candidates, and then the privy envoys and the officials will agree, and the new minister will take office. With the consent of the government and the prime ministers, most appointments can be made, including the removal of privy councillors. As far as the lower officials know, the current privy envoy Lord Wu has an old friendship with His Majesty, and he often talks about His Majesty's kindness, and it should not be difficult for His Majesty to convince Lord Wu. ”
Ding Daquan's brain is not slower than Jia Nidao, but unfortunately his courage is not as big as Jia Nidao, which is one of his fatal flaws. I want credit, but I don't want to take risks myself, where in the world is there such a good thing. If these words become that he replaces Hong Tao to operate this operation, instead of just giving Hong Tao ideas, Hong Tao will think highly of him.
"In other words, as long as three of the four people of the official, the left and right ministers, and the privy envoy agree to one thing, it doesn't matter whether the other person agrees or not, right?" Although Ding Daquan's performance was not very good, his statement made Hong Tao see the solution to the fundamental problem.
"This is true for most political matters, I have studied the court rules of the Golden River Empire, just like your council, more than two-thirds is enough." Ding Daquan saw Hong Tao's expression and knew that he had also hit the point. As soon as the originally tense spirit relaxed, there was a lot of nonsense, and he didn't even understand the relationship between the emperor and the parliament, and he dared to say that he had studied the political system of the empire, which was really ashamed.
"Lord Ding is really talented, then I will hand over the task of selecting the new right minister to you, you will discuss this matter with the official family on my behalf, just wait for me to convince Lord Wu, let's start to change the dynasty, hahahaha...... "Regardless of whether Ding Daquan really understands the imperial system of government, Hong Tao is still very happy. His method is simply too effective, and it seems that before noon, the two most difficult problems have basically found solutions, and this is a good start. As long as his luck is better, it is really not a dream for Da Song to change his surname to Hong.
Why do many founding monarchs in history like to use generals, Hong Tao now understands a little. Two people with similar abilities, one is in the original team, and the other is a surrenderer, and their work enthusiasm and work efficiency are guaranteed to be different.
In order to gain a firm foothold, those who surrendered had no merit to speak of, and in order to gain a firm foothold, they had to cling to their master's thighs, work hard, and be enthusiastic about their work. At this time, it is really from the heart, without eating, drinking, or sleeping, you have to finish your own work, do it well, and do it well, and by the way, you have to exceed the quota, and whoever doesn't let yourself do the work will be in a hurry!
This is the case with Jia Yidao and Ding Daquan, who took their cronies and marines and worked tirelessly around the palace and inside the palace, explaining the current situation at home and abroad with their incorruptible tongues and every colleague they thought could be re-educated, making up one lie after another, and testing everyone's reaction. If the other party is also interested in joining this feast of power, it is a new colleague; If the other party intends to be alone and wait and see, then leave it aside; If the other side does not intend to be in the same boat, it is the enemy.
The enemy didn't need the two of them to do it at all, as long as they reported the list to the marines, these tiger and wolf divisions of Emperor Hong were not only extremely brave in battle, but also extremely efficient in killing people. The family of one hundred and ten people was dragged to the Phoenix Mountain, and within a few minutes they were all stabbed to death with short knives, not even the old woman and the baby, and then burned clean by a fire. And these marines, who can't see the origin at all, no matter how many people they killed, they can't see the slightest sense of guilt, but they look happy. It is said that this will bring them closer to a deity called the sun god, who is the god of their homeland.
