Section 546 A River of Blood (2)
On the north bank of the river, the gentry officials up and down Nanyang County were still ignorant.
With the ranks of the new county guard, it is getting closer and closer.
The musicians began to play the music, and the silk and bamboo wind music sang in unison.
Led by the county lord Yang Xuezhi and the lord Bo Bangyun, dozens of people gathered forward, came to the front of the county guard's convoy, and bowed one after another: "Nanyang County Xiaguan County Cheng Xuezhi (county lord Bo Yun) greets the Ming Mansion ......"
After waiting for a while, Yang Xuezhi raised his head slightly, and saw that the cavalry in front of the convoy was still unmoving, holding various county guards and honor guards.
Things are a little out of the ordinary.
Yang Xue thought in his heart.
Could it be that this new county guard took the first step and went to Wancheng?
It's possible!
But it's unlikely, after all, if he does that, the new county guard will be tantamount to mocking in front of officials large and small throughout the county, and moreover, it will make the above look at it and slander.
Those who do not follow the rules of the game are destined to be eliminated by the rules of the game.
"Maybe this Xinming Mansion is planning to play a prestige in front of us?" Yang Xuezhi pondered in his heart.
But there is no way, people are confidants of the Son of Heaven, and they came to Nanyang County to gild.
This is uncle, I can't afford to offend!
Yang Xuezhi had no choice but to bow his head and bow again: "Nanyang County Cheng, the lower official Yang Xuezhi, lead the whole county to welcome the Ming Mansion......"
Finally, the sound of gold and iron came to my ears.
It was the sound of the cavalrymen getting out of the way, their armor rubbing against their weapons, and the cavalry began to separate to the sides.
"Let your colleagues wait for a long time, is it soup!" One was dressed in regular clothes. A young man wearing a green gift and carrying a silver seal. smiled and bowed to everyone: "In the future, we still need the assistance of all the sages." Assist this official, report this Nanyang Dazhi, report to the monarch's father, and comfort the father! ”
There is no need to guess, this person is one of the three giants when the Son of Heaven was in the palace, known as the first person to rise from the Legalist family, the successor of Chao Cuo, the future quasi-third prince, and the ironclad Jiuqing. Hongguyuan's Zhang Tang is gone.
Who else but him is qualified to wear the green seal that represents two thousand stones, and carry the silver seal that only two thousand stones can carry?
Since the Qin Dynasty, officials have to wear ribbons and seals when they are outside, which is also a kind of responsibility.
Even the lowest-level pavilion chief has 'five taels of lun and half of copper'. It symbolizes that it belongs to a member of the ruling class.
and more than 200 koku, called 'ranked' (establishment) officials. It's 'all official seals'.
Therefore, if you travel back to the Qin and Han dynasties, you want to know whether the other party is an official or an ordinary person. Just look at the color of his ribbon and seal.
Usually there is a ribbon and an official seal in his arms, he must be an official.
and gold-purple-cyan-black-yellow. then constitute the five ranks of the official ribbon.
"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Yang Xuezhi said with a group of officials: "We will obey the will of the Ming Mansion!" ”
The Han Dynasty guarded. The magnitude of power and responsibility is far beyond people's imagination.
Most of the officials and affairs of the whole county. It's almost all in the hands of the county guard.
Except for the part of the county order and the county lieutenant appointed by the imperial court, the other people, the county guard wants to pinch a circle, so he pinches a circle, he makes a rectangle, and he makes a rectangle.
Of course, it also depends on the ability of the county guard himself.
It is also common for people to be overlooked if they are not capable enough.
For example, Ning Cheng, the comment in the history books is: For officials, they must be their chief officials, and they are above and below, such as a wet salary.
Ning Cheng also because of this character, in history the official fortune is prosperous - even the county guard can be bullying, coercing, and overbearing, this person's ability can be seen, so he naturally has to be reused!
But as the saying goes, good swimmers drown.
Such a strong subordinate will one day meet a superior who can kill him.
Over the past 60 years, the struggle between the county guard and his subordinates, the lord and the county, has continued.
Someone wins, someone must lose like pants.
Zhang Tang looked at Yang Xuezhi and the others, still with a smile on his face.
"Who is the lord Bo tyrant?" Zhang Tang asked softly.
"Xiaguan Tyranny visits the Ming Mansion......" a middle-aged official in brocade came out to worship.
Zhang Tang smiled, clapped his hands, and said: "The tyrant is a big name, the official knows it before Suiyang!" ”
Storm Yun didn't know why, lowered his head, showed a stammering smile, and said: "Vulgar savage, it's really scary that a small name can enter the ears of the Ming Mansion!" ”
But for some reason, when Storm Yun looked at Zhang Tang's appearance, he felt like he had met a tiger and leopard in the wilderness, and he couldn't feel at ease at all.
But I heard Zhang Tang say: "Panic? This official is really scared! ”
Zhang Tang took out a bunch of silk books from his arms and threw them on Storm Yun's face, and his face suddenly became hideous: "Tyrant Bo, look at the good things you have done, before this official arrives in Suiyang, there are seven bitter masters who have come to accuse you of being corrupt and bending the law and forcibly robbing you!" ”
Storm Yun picked up the silk books, didn't dare to look at them at all, lowered his head, and was silent.
Bad things, ugly things, violent Yun did it, even he can't remember how much he has done.
However, those Diao people actually dared to go to the new county guard on the way to take office to shout a complaint, which was indeed beyond the imagination of Tyrant Yun.
Storm Yun clearly remembered it very clearly, but he packed up all the mud legs who were dissatisfied and threatened to retaliate.
Either sentenced to prison, thrown into prison, or even beaten to death in the court.
Those who are left behind are honest and loyal people who dare not resist.
In the past few decades, these mud legs have always been submissive.
"Don't let me find out who ......" Storm Yun thought viciously in his heart, "If I knew who did it, I would be as good as you people!" ”
Dealing with mud legs, Storm Yun is the best.
It's very simple, just use a weapon of conscription, and you can make the other party's whole family want to die.
The Han family stipulated that men should serve once every three years, but now they have been given more benefits and changed to once every four years.
But the official word has two mouths, and the executive power is on the grassroots officials.
Obviously you already served last year, but this year it is your turn, and you have nothing to say.
Not really. It's good for a father, son and brother to take turns.
You're speechless, aren't you?
I can only blame your family for being too unlucky, and I draw you every time!
In addition, changing the age on the family register is also a big killer feature.
The Han family has a pension policy. If you are over sixty years old, you do not have to serve. You can also exempt one child or grandchild from military service.
In addition, only those above twenty-three need to serve.
However, the age on this household register, one year more and one year less, is not easy for Storm Yun.
Even adding or subtracting four or five years old is common sense.
Past. It was by these means that Tyrant Yun continued to snatch and seize land.
turned the thug into the giant of Nanyang County.
The land under his control is as many as thousands of hectares, covering the 36 counties of Nanyang, and I don't know how many yeoman farmers have been forced by him to become his own tenant farmers and even serfs, living from generation to generation, children and grandchildren. They all have to die for the thugs.
If you don't sell your land to a thug at a 'reasonable' price, the old man in the family, even if he is in his sixties, will have to go into service. There is no such benefit as being exempt from military service.
The sons and nephews of the family, seventeen or eighteen years old, were on the list of the first masters.
Worse. Several years of service in a row, all from your home.
to the end. A good home falls apart in no time.
Storm Yun was still thinking about it. How to settle accounts after the fall.
Zhang Tang couldn't wait.
The stories of his predecessors told him that the new official took office with three fires, and the first fire burned to death the powerful and powerful clans of a jurisdiction, which can definitely lay a good foundation for future governance.
Is there a better object to stand up for than a thug?
"If you don't speak, the official will acquiesce to you!" Zhang Tang sneered, murderous: "Someone come, pass on the official's order, arrest the entire Tyrant clan!" ”
"Yulin Guard, the commander of the armor, Lu Shen, obeys the order!" A gruff voice in the cavalry group immediately replied.
Then, several soldiers stepped forward, grabbed Storm Yun, and took off his crown, hat, ribbon, and official seal.
Storm Yun was terrified.
Yang Xuezhi was also dumbfounded.
They have never seen such a non-logical Shangguan!
The authority of the county keeper is great.
But the lord Bo is also a big man who is more than 2,000 stones, and he is the head of the miscellaneous officials in the county.
Even if you want to win such a giant, usually, you have to report to the court lieutenant and the prime minister for approval, and then go through the imperial history review before you can be convicted.
What's more, the Han family has a tradition of not dishonoring each other.
In the imperial court, the three dukes and nine secretaries, in addition to the unforgivable sins such as treason and great rebellion, no matter how bad it is, they must be given a decent ending.
And in the county, the lord Bo and the county are subordinates in front of the county guard.
But no matter what, even if they make a big mistake, they must save some face.
Even if you really don't like each other, at most it's just a forced order.
As now, when he came up, he pulled off a thin crown and hat, took away his ribbon and official seal, and put him in the custody of a rude sergeant.
Moreover, in front of everyone.
This......
Do you want the official system?
Do you want this kind of harmonious atmosphere in the county?
Could it be that this new county guard really wants to make the whole county panic, and everyone thinks about danger?
What's in it for him?
Countless doubts and countless incomprehensions have surfaced in the hearts of Feng Yun and Yang Xuezhi.
They can't be blamed for that!
In fact, in the past twenty or thirty years, the top and bottom of Nanyang County have been spoiled by the old Huang faction.
So much so that they all forget.
This Liu regime, the prestige of Han officials, has never relied on grace and entrapment.
Rather, it was set up by bright knives and guns, bloody crowns and hats, and decisive officials.
When Empress Lu was in power, there were even cool officials who relied on harsh punishment and harsh laws to become princes!
Zhang Tang didn't even give a defense, or even a chance to judge.
He coldly ordered his subordinates: "Investigation: The county lord of Nanyang County, Bo Tyranny, has done many evils, repeatedly violated national law, and is not a minister, he can be removed from all his titles, put on death row, and wait for disposal, the whole family of the tyrant, all property and land, all confiscated, confiscated into the government, the tyrant family, all the people involved, etc., will be arrested, if there is resistance, it will be killed!" ”
"No!" Immediately there was a sergeant who took the order.
Then, there were officers, with the roster, walking towards the crowd not far away.
"Violent victory, violent power, violent reason, violent harmless ......"
"Zhang Yan, Wang Bo, Li Han, Zhu Wuji......"
The children of the thugs, minions, and in-laws were named one after another, and then dragged out of the crowd by the soldiers and pressed on both sides of the road.
In just a quarter of an hour, on the banks of the Shuishui River, there were already kneeling officials and gentry who were disheveled and embarrassed.
There were dozens of people.
"Ming Mansion, all the people involved in the case have been arrested!" Ning Cheng wore armor, walked up to Zhang Tang and bowed, and said, "There are forty-seven people in total, and in addition, there are more than 100 people waiting to be arrested in the city!" ”
"Kill them all......" Zhang Tang instructed lightly: "This generation has harmed countless people, and one more day of life is disrespectful to the people, the law, and the Son of Heaven, and only by killing them can the prestige of the Han Law be restored!" ”
"Faint officials, cool officials, you can't die well!" When Storm Yun heard this, he immediately jumped up and scolded.
The two guards who were in charge of him immediately put him to death.
But that doesn't do anything.
Zhang Tang didn't even bother to look at him.
As a genius who can judge rats with Chinese law at the age of seven, Zhang Tang is familiar with all the terms of Chinese law.
He knows very well that this is his duty, his power.
Even if he fights the lawsuit in front of the emperor and the East Palace, he will win the battle.
"Let's do it!" Zhang Tang ordered.
"No!" Ning Cheng bowed his hand and was about to execute.
"Wait!" Yang Xuezhi couldn't hold back any longer, he raised his head and persuaded: "Mingfu is angry, no matter how good this tyrant is, it's spring now, and the killing is unknown!" ”
When Zhang Tang heard this, he laughed: "Unknown? If you don't kill them, it's the real ominous! ”
Zhang Tang looked at Yang Xuezhi condescendingly, and asked: "I heard that Yang Juncheng, the origin of family learning, I don't know Yang Juncheng, do you ever know the five beetles?" ”
"In the eyes of this official...... Zhang Tang pointed to the bureaucrats who had been escorted to the river, held their heads, and were waiting to be beheaded, and said: "This generation is the five beetles among the five beetles, and they should be killed quickly!" ”
"Moreover, the Han law has never stipulated that you can only kill people in winter, and you can't kill people in spring!" Zhang Tang looked at Yang Xuezhi from the corner of his eyes, his eyes were full of playfulness.
If it weren't for the fear that things would be too big at once, and someone above would chirp crookedly, Zhang Tang really thought that he would do it together with the Yang family.
"The official rule is the Analects......" Yang Xuezhi looked at Zhang Tang and suddenly straightened his waist.
Yang Xuezhi suddenly realized that this was the best opportunity to brush up on prestige, and if he missed it, there would be no more.
On the contrary, the life or death of Bang Yun and his family is not important.
The contradiction between Confucianism and law has become more and more intense recently.
If he can refute Zhang Tang from the moral high ground, even if he offends this promising star, it is worth it.
The whole of Confucianism will see him as a hero.
Zhang Tang listened, but he smiled even more happily.
"The Analects" ah......" Zhang Tang said with a smile: "When this official was in the Son of Heaven's palace, he was ordered to teach the children in the garden in Sixian Garden, and at the order of the Son of Heaven, he gave the boy the ...... of "Cangjie".
Zhang Tang bowed his hand in the direction of Chang'an and said: "Your Majesty once said to this official: After "Cangjie", you should give the boy ...... "Analects"
Yang Xuezhi's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
Zhang Tang's meaning is too obvious.
You're in the Analects, aren't you?
Very good!
Your Majesty has said that this is a very good way to teach children.
In other words, it is only suitable for teaching children......
Although this is not necessarily the meaning.
But can you refute, do you dare to refute?
Zhang Tang is a confidant and confidant of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is willing to endorse what he says.
What about Yang Xuezhi himself?
So, let's say it's an online game.
Zhang Tang had already inflicted a hit on Yang Xuezhi, a hundredfold blow with a critical hit. (To be continued......)
