Section 542 Cool Officials (2)

"Hang this person's head, hang it on the flagpole, and hang it for public display, so that the world will know what will happen to the officials who are crippled and harmed by the people!" Wang Wenshu ordered left and right.

left and right entourage, but they still look ignorant and don't know why.

They were all terrified!

Henan County, plugged in the world, has the benefits of water and land, since ancient times is China's anointment, rich in the world.

For many years, the Han court mainly focused on appeasing and wooing Henan County.

Who knows, first came to Zhidu, and killed a river of blood.

Now there is another angel, looking at the appearance, he is also going to kill.

How innocent this Henan County is!

Wang Wenshu looked at the Henan County officials who were already a little sluggish, and snorted in his nose.

Those people were struck by lightning and hurriedly began to get busy.

Wang Wenshu was holding the tip of the sword that was still dripping blood, walked down the road step by step, walked down the ridge, and came to Ren Wu, who was already so frightened that he knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to move, he glanced at the other party inhumanely, and said: "Bully others, act for the tiger, and you can't be left behind!" ”

As he spoke, he pierced the opponent's chest with a sword, and then kicked him into the dirt in the field.

But the people of the field were terrified.

One by one, they lowered their heads in the dirt, and they didn't even dare to make a sound.

When Wang Wenshu saw it, he also sighed.

These people have been tortured by the Ren family for too long, and the torture is too deep.

It's like a pebble in a stream, no longer with all the edges and spikes.

If it is in Guanzhong, such a situation. It's almost impossible to happen!

The peasants in Guanzhong could not have been tortured like this. Driven like a pig and a dog.

Not even a house slave!

On the surface, Wang Wenshu looks compassionate. In a very sad tone, he said: "The edict of the Son of Heaven last year, the official studied it day and night, and repeatedly comprehended the holy will from it, and the official was dull, although he comprehended the holy will, but His Majesty also knew the ......."

Wang Wenshu lifted the corpse of Ren Wu and said loudly: "The people of the world are all the people of Your Majesty!" The world is rich. Your Majesty is a brother! You are so cruel and tyrannical, dare to bully Your Majesty? ”

"The Korean Wei clan, seven out of ten Han subjects are killed, and Your Majesty will send heavenly soldiers and give them a big punishment! You are more powerful than the North Korean defender......"

The officials accompanying Henan County lowered their heads one after another, saying that they were 'extremely ashamed'.

There was no way, this angel carried out last year's Jiazi edict.

The content of this Jiazi edict has been fermented for more than half a year. In particular, with the collapse of Wei's Joseon as the theoretical basis, it has now become a compulsory edict for every official.

You can't understand etiquette, you can't understand law, you can't even know your profession. Overstaffed.

But this Jiazi edict, if you can't memorize it, the melon is ripe.

Then you are guilty.

It's time to go home and farm!

In the six months since its promulgation, the entire bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty has exerted pressure through layers of pressure. Level 1 supervision level in a way that is more efficient than ever before. The spirit of the Jiazi edict of the Son of Heaven was forcibly instilled into the brain of every official.

In today's situation, today's Jiazi edict. The famous edicts of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen formed the ideological and theoretical basis of the Han regime.

Seeing the appearance of the officials of Henan County, Wang Wenshu was slightly happy in his heart.

This time, he was ordered to come to Henan County to solve Ren's problem.

Of course, he wants to handle it beautifully and make this case an ironclad case.

It's just that after coming to Henan County and asking to meet the county Shouzhi Capital, Wang Wenshu found that this matter was not as easy as he imagined at the beginning.

The Ren clan has dominated Xuanqu County for sixty or seventy years, and it is deeply rooted.

The entire bureaucratic system and the entire social strata in Xuanqu County were almost entirely controlled by the Ren family.

Moreover, Ren is not an ordinary businessman.

In fact, in addition to the fact that when the Ren family started, it was developed by reselling the reserve grain of the Qin State's official warehouse, and since its ancestors, the Ren family has been based on land.

The Ren clan continued to annex land, keep slaves, and at the same time constantly befriend nobles and officials.

A huge umbrella has been woven in Henan County.

Under this umbrella, even Zhidu wanted to attack the Ren family several times, but it was a rat trap.

Zhi is not afraid, but scruples.

Who are you afraid of?

When the prime minister of the dynasty, Zhou Yafu, Marquis of Changping!

Ren is a tyrant in Henan, and his ancestors served as Qin governors and cangguan at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Took control of Qin's huge reserve granary in Henan County.

and has a good strength, and all parties in the world must befriend him.

In this process, it is said that the Ren family was involved with the old Jiangwu Hou Zhou Bo.

That's it, Zhou Bodu is dead, no matter how deep the relationship is, it doesn't have much to do with Zhou Yafu's concubine, at most it is personal affection.

However, the other person cannot be ignored.

Ming female pavilion waiting, Xu negative.

It's a woman.

A woman in her seventies, full of legends!

From the moment she was born, she was shrouded in an aura of divinity.

The day she was born happened to be the autumn of the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang, in that year, Qin extinguished Yan, Dai, Qi, the world returned to Qin, Qin Shi Huang was overjoyed, and issued an edict to collect the auspicious fortune of the world as the auspicious cause of its unification.

Xu Cheng appeared under such circumstances.

His father Xu Wang, who was the county commander of Wencheng County, Qinhanoi County, is said to have held a jade pendant when he was born, and the jade pendant faintly has the pattern of King Wen's gossip.

More importantly, 100 days after birth, that is, the ability to speak.

Truly born a god!

Even Qin Shi Huang was shocked and issued an edict to give the Xu family a hundred gold medals.

Therefore, Xu Wang named his daughter Mo Cheng, Mo Negative King Mo Negative Country.

However, more than ten years later, at the end of Qin, the world was in turmoil, and Xu Moying changed his body and became Xu Ying.

And the Xu family, with the name of Xu Cheng, became the overlord of Wencheng County.

Such a situation was very common in the late Qin Dynasty.

When Qin collapsed, officials and generals everywhere. They all chose to support their own troops and shut the door to claim the king's hegemony.

And the fate of these people. Naturally, it's not much better.

There are only a few people such as Wu Qi and Zhao Tuo, who are heroes. You can have a good death.

The Xu family is not a hero, and there is no one who is as good as a hero.

In the autumn of the third year of Qin II, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu began a competition to see who would enter Guanzhong first.

And Wencheng County, where the Xu family is located, happened to be on the route of the Han army's march.

Liu Bang, who led a bug lineup like Zhou Bo, Xiao He, and Cao Shen, although there were occasional setbacks along the way, such as suffering a big loss from the Qin army in Luoyangdong, but on the whole, it went smoothly. At least much faster than Xiang Yu.

As for the Xu family, what other options do they have besides the surrender of Nacheng?

Of course, because the Xu family surrendered quickly, when the early Han Dynasty was divided, it still reaped some benefits.

Emperor Gao personally named Xu Cheng as the Ming Female Pavilion.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, he also named Xu Ying's husband Fei Yue as Shang Luohou.

They are all second only to the marquis of Guannei, who is under the liehous.

In this Han family, it also belongs to the top local Haoqiang.

It is rumored that Xu Cheng once had the late Empress Dowager Bo Shi. Therefore, Taizong enshrined her husband.

There are also rumors in the market that Xu Cheng once had Zhou Yafu, the prime minister of the dynasty, it is said. When Zhou Yafu was poor and destitute, it was Xu Cheng who pulled him.

There are even rumors in the market that at the beginning. When he went to the palace today, Xu Cheng was invited by Yuan An. To Chang'an, see today. was shocked and said: This son is the anger of a man's master.

All kinds of legends, all kinds of rumors, all kinds of things, mixed together, made Xu Cheng faintly become the first person in the Han family world.

Countless ministers and nobles are proud to be criticized by Xu Negative, and they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money for this.

If it weren't for the fact that there is a divine dragon who sees the head and does not see the tail, the whereabouts are ethereal, and the more mysterious Sima Ji Lord, this Xu Cheng can become the queen of the fortune-telling world.

And this Xuanqu Ren has a daughter who is married to Fei Wen, the second son of Xu Ying and Fei Yue.

In addition, the daughter of Fei Yue's eldest son married the wealthy Guo family in Hanoi, and the Guo family has a daughter, who is now the head mother of the Ren family.

These relationships are intricate and intertwined, forming a vast network.

Even Zhidu didn't dare to start.

Because, if the rumors are true, then they will offend the prime minister, the servant, and even the Son of Heaven.

Without the order of the Son of Heaven, Zhi could not afford this responsibility.

But Wang Wenshu is different.

The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes!

Others were worried, moved the Ren family, provoked Xu Ying, and Xu Ying implicated giants like Yuan Ang and Zhou Yafu, and the mysterious aura on Xu Ying's body was also her talisman.

After all, Chinese people are superstitious, and even if they don't believe in the things that gods and gods are talking about, they would rather believe it or not.

If it were true, wouldn't it be sinned against heaven and there would be no prayer?

But Wang Wenshu is afraid of eggs!

When he was a ranger, he dug up people's ancestral graves, killed people with hammers in the wilderness, and even threw their corpses in the woods for wild dogs to bite.

If there were really ghosts and gods, he would have died a long time ago!

As for Zhou Yafu and Yuan An?

Others are afraid, but Wang Wenshu, who was born in embroidered clothes, is not afraid at all.

As the Eagle Dog of the Son of Heaven, Wang Wenshu did not pay attention to the rest except the Son of Heaven in his eyes.

Not to mention, if Yuan Ang and Zhou Yafu can really be involved, not to mention pulling these two giants down, just by taking advantage of this matter to set off a storm of public opinion, it will be of great benefit to Wang Wenshu.

When the time comes, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, he is a lonely minister and a loyal minister.

In the eyes of public opinion, he is not afraid of violence, is not afraid of power, is the master of the people, and upholds justice.

As long as you think about such a future, Wang Wenshu is extremely comfortable!

So, his behavior today is very understandable.

Everything is for climbing up, everything is for promotion and getting rich.

And if you want to climb up, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you must make achievements and let everyone pay attention to yourself.

What could be more eye-catching than unswervingly implementing His Majesty's Jiazi edict, eradicating corrupt officials and corrupt officials, fearless of power, and willing to take risks?

As for the official who died?

Who cares about the thoughts of a dead man?

Even if you want to blame, I'm afraid no one can blame a loyal minister who is loyal to the Son of Heaven and resolutely carries out the will of the Son of Heaven!

It's just that......

Wang Wenshu's gaze was cast to the south in the distance.

"Compared to me, Zhang Tang's starting point is really high, I don't know how much!"

"He should have arrived in Wancheng by now......"

…………………………………………

As Wang Wenshu thought. Zhang Tang was already outside Wancheng at this moment.

As the new county warden.

Zhang Tang's inaugural team is somewhat large.

Except for the four hundred Yulin guards given to him by the Son of Heaven. Zhang Tang's in-law, Tian, also prepared more than 30 scholars for Zhang Tang who were brushed down during last year's examination. Although these people have been brushed off, their business level is okay, and it is more than enough to be a scribe or a pen and knife clerk.

In addition, there are more than a dozen Legalist scholars who volunteered to follow Zhang Tang to Nanyang to expand their territory.

These people will become Zhang Tang's henchmen in Nanyang County in the future.

Shaofu also sent more than 100 skilled craftsmen to accompany him.

These people will be responsible for setting up the basic irrigation facilities and waterwheel system in Nanyang County, while preparing for the next step of the Shaofu Workshop relocation.

Looking at the county town of Nanyang County and the tall city walls, Zhang Tang was also full of spirits.

When he was more than 20 years old, he lived in the county guard, and he was a feudal official with 2,000 stones.

It's hard for anyone to keep their tails up.

But Zhang Tang has been a county magistrate in Xinfeng County for more than a year. I know that as a pro-people official, there are two most important things.

The first is to find out the powerful people under his rule.

The second is to identify these powerful clans, those who can cooperate, and those who must be eradicated.

Those who can cooperate must be co-opted. Give benefits so that the other party is willing to die for you.

Those who can't cooperate will be killed directly, and all the land wealth will be confiscated!

Such. Only then can the decree reach any corner of the grassroots unimpeded, so that the people can know that you are an official. What is the thing to do, what is the plan. Only then can we fully mobilize all manpower and material resources to the whole territory. All of us are working towards one place.

This set of governing ideas is also a lesson summed up by the Legalists after decades of practice in the Han Dynasty.

To sum it up in one word, it is an iron fist.

casually flipped through the notes that had been reported to the imperial court by the local authorities in Nanyang County over the years discussed with Ning Cheng along the way, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in Zhang Tang's eyes.

Ning Cheng is a native of Nanyang County and is also Zhang Tang's deputy on this trip.

If what Ning Cheng said was correct.

This Nanyang County, if you don't follow the cool law and heavy code, it will be difficult to achieve the same situation as when he was in charge of Xinfeng Ling.

Even, even the tasks assigned by the Son of Heaven are difficult to complete.

And if he can't complete the task of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Tang knows that the position of the county guard of Nanyang County may be the pinnacle of his career.

"The Ming Mansion, the officials of Nanyang County, and the local celebrities, have been thirty miles outside Wancheng, welcoming the arrival of the Ming Mansion......" Outside the car, Ning Cheng's voice came.

"Who's coming?" Zhang Tang asked lightly.

"Back to the Ming Mansion, up and down the county, celebrities, gentry, liehous, and guannei marquis are all here!" Ning Cheng handed over a few letters of worship as he spoke.

Who can deliver a letter of worship to the county guard, except for the heroes of the Han family and the princes?

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were four feudal states in Nanyang County.

However, like the liehou class, after fifty or sixty years, the wind and rain have passed, and there are always some liehou families who have lost their country or lost their heirs for one reason or another.

Among the four meritorious princes of Nanyang County, Niyanghou is such a tragedy.

But Zhang Tang didn't care about these people.

Liehou?

He has seen a lot in Chang'an, and even Pingyang Hou Cao and Zhang Tang have also dealt with him.

It can only be said that the ancestors are heroes, but the descendants are nothing more than that.

It's just that the article on the surface still has to be done.

Zhang Tang put away those prayer stickers, and then asked, "Ning Duwei, in your opinion, who is more suitable to use the sacrificial flag to open the knife between the Tyrant Clan and the Yang Clan?" ”

The Tyrant clan and the Yang clan are both powerful in Nanyang, and the two families are deeply rooted in Nanyang County, and most of the officials in Wancheng have various relationships with these two families.

If you want to be the master of Nanyang County, the Tyrant and Yang have to take one out to sacrifice the flag and stand up.

Otherwise, the whole county will not know who is the real master of Nanyang County.

As for the Tyrant and Yang Clans, they didn't offend Zhang Tang now, and they didn't express any opinions.

If they are in office, they may still be carefully served before and after the saddle.

This is not within the scope of Zhang Tang's consideration.

For Legalists, how can it be done if they don't kill people when they take office, and they don't kill a tiger to establish their authority?

Moreover, it is best to kill a big tiger, which can shock the whole county, and from then on obey the big tiger and dare not have objections.

Besides, this Tyrant and Yang, no matter which one they kill, they are all innocent.

The sin and blood stained on the hands of these two families are enough for them to die a hundred, a thousand times!

"Of course it's the Tyrant!" Ning Cheng replied categorically: "The Tyrant Clan has been in charge of South Vietnam for more than 30 years, and the Tyrant Clan is full of wings from top to bottom, if we don't eradicate the Tyrant Clan, I am afraid that even Wancheng will not be able to get out of Wancheng with the order of our waiting!" ”

Xu was born as a official, and Ning Cheng knew better than everyone how terrible it was for the tyrannical clan who controlled the officials and low-level bureaucrats in Nanyang County.

On the contrary, the Yang family, which has only been mixed in the middle and upper classes, has a certain amount of room for wooing.

"Good!" Zhang Tang nodded, and said noncommittally: "It's the tyrant clan, Ning Duwei, you order to go down, let Yu Linwei get ready, listen to my orders, and do it!" ”

For Zhang Tang, whether it is the Tyrant clan or the Yang clan, it is the same, and it must be eradicated.

It's nothing more than the one who dies first, and the one who dies later.

If you don't kill the main members of these two families and uproot their power, you will be held hostage in the future government affairs.

If you don't kill them, use their heads and crimes to establish authority, how can you convince the whole county?

Don't kill them, give the official positions and authority under their ass to their cronies, and go there to find so many official positions and errands to install their own people?

Zhang Tang's thinking is simple and clear, clear and firm. (To be continued......)
