vs 550 To be rich is sin
After Liu Che's royal car arrived at Changle Palace, he first went to greet the Dou family.
After greeting her as usual, Empress Dowager Dou took the initiative to mention the matter of Xuanqu County.
"Emperor, I heard that the mourning family sent an envoy to Henan County to inspect?" Empress Dowager Dou obviously saved face for Liu Che, she was very tactful, and she didn't go straight to the point, but what did it mean...... I'm not deaf, I know what it means.
The Han regime based on the two-palace system, basically, after Empress Lu, the method of intervening in the government of the East Palace was to achieve the goal by exerting influence and pressure on the emperor.
Donggong is unhappy with a certain policy.
Usually they don't express their opinions directly to the courtiers, but call the emperor over, and it is a reprimand to cut his head and cover his face.
Then the emperor will scold the specific executive minister.
Overall, the rules of the game are working well at the moment.
Liu Che listened, and naturally understood what to say.
He bowed slightly and said, "Returning to the emperor's grandmother, there is indeed such a thing......
After organizing the language, Liu Che explained: "That's the case, last year, the county guards of Henan County reported to the imperial court, executed 372 criminals, arrested more than 700 people, and completed more than 200 people in the city. If there is an unjust case, if the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive, you can act cheaply; In case of local tyranny, cruelty and abuse of the people. or plot against him, that is, to send the Xingyang soldiers ......"
Hearing Liu Che say this, Empress Dowager Dou's face softened. No longer with a straight face.
Liu Che's statement is completely different from the statements of the old ministers who have entered the palace every day to cry and complain to her these days.
But one is a grandson, the other is a foreign minister, and it goes without saying who to trust.
What's more, Liu Che's statement is reasonable. Reasonable, powerful, and responsible.
Zhidu did kill a lot of people, and it was natural to send a messenger to Henan County to inspect and inspect.
Patrol the place. Of course, we can't just find the mistakes and omissions of the place, the important work is to pick up the gaps, and use angels to help the local county guards. Deal with some people or things that are not easy to deal with or dare not deal with.
For example, back then. Zhang Budo, the son of Zhang Liang, who was left behind, teamed up with his own doctor to murder the domestic history of Chu.
King Chu Yuan didn't dare to deal with it at all, so he could only write to the court and ask the court captain, internal history, and imperial history to be interrogated.
Thinking about it like this, Empress Dowager Dou came back to her senses.
Empress Dowager Dou is not a person who eats fine clothes and food, and she doesn't know the suffering of the world, so why not eat minced meat.
She has served by Empress Lu's side. Follow Emperor Taizong all the way from Daiguo. After entering Chang'an, he has experienced countless ups and downs, and has seen countless strong women with open guns and hidden arrows.
There are many things that you don't have to tell her through at all, as long as you click on the key, people will immediately know where the reason is.
"Is it the angel patrol requested by Henan County?" Empress Dowager Dou was puzzled in her heart.
If so, everything can be explained clearly.
Henan County Shouzhi encountered something that was difficult for him to solve, or that was difficult to solve.
So he wrote to the Son of Heaven and asked the angels to make an inspection.
To put it simply, Zhi Du felt that with his own ability, he couldn't get someone, and someone had to be eliminated, at least, if he didn't get rid of him, there would be no way to govern normally.
You can only ask the court to come forward and use angels to investigate and punish this person.
This is easy to understand, Henan, Hedong, Hexi, Hanoi and other places are full of Han family liehou families.
These four counties are also the four counties that are often asked to be inspected by angels.
In the opinion of the Empress Dowager Dou, it is obvious that Henan County can't handle the Ren family, so she thought of such a way to let the angels handle it.
Moreover, there must be conclusive evidence.
It's just that what those old ministers said seems to be very reasonable.
The Ren family was commended by Emperor Taizong, a model of the landlords in the world, so he won it, where did Emperor Taizong be?
In the opinion of the Empress Dowager Dou, a landlord like the Ren family is nothing more than occupying more land and saving more slaves, which is no big deal.
It's not like Wu Chu or other ill-intentioned guys, who secretly accumulate armor soldiers and plot against them.
So, the Empress Dowager Dou said: "That's the case, the emperor told the mourning family that after this envoy went to Henan County, he could get something?" ”
It's another art of speaking.
Now that the emperor is already in power, even the Empress Dowager Dou must admit that this grandson has only been in power for more than a year, and he has already mastered the overall situation.
The forces of the government and the opposition are obedient, and the popularity of Guanzhong has also reached the peak of Emperor Taizong.
For such a capable grandson, Empress Dowager Dou was both happy and worried.
I am happy that this Liu family is stable, so that when I meet Taizong Jiuquan a hundred years later, I will not be shameless.
But he worries about his own status and authority.
The old lady is blind, and she is even more sensitive to power.
A big husband can't be without power for a day, and this is especially true for strong women!
Therefore, when Empress Dowager Dou said this, it was actually a test to see what kind of attitude the emperor's grandson had towards herself, a blind old woman.
In addition, I don't want to cause resistance from the emperor's grandson.
Young people, it is inevitable to be angry, in case the grandparents and grandchildren are unhappy because of this outsider's affairs, it will not be appropriate.
Liu Che smiled slightly, knelt down beside the Empress Dowager Dou, and said: "Back to the emperor's grandmother, my grandson has just received the 800-mile express report from Henan County, and the angel king Wen Shu and Henan County Shouzhidu and Xingyang Ling Dou Rong have taken down the ...... of the Ren family."
Hearing the three words of Xingyang Ling, Empress Dowager Dou's face finally smiled.
Dou Rong is her nephew and Dou Ying's half-brother.
Although when he was in Chang'an City, the Dou family felt that he was not as far away as Dou Ying, but he was just a little smart.
But after all, it's the surname Dou.
Since the emperor let Dou Rong intervene, it means that the emperor still has great respect for her and is very close to the Dou family.
That's enough!
To be honest, what does the life or death of a local landlord have to do with the East Palace, and what does it have to do with her?
If it weren't for the old ministers crying every day, and it was related to Taizong's face, the Empress Dowager Dou wouldn't have bothered to care!
If you have this time, it is better to listen to the "Tao Te Ching" a few times in the palace, so that people can talk about Huang Lao's inaction, pure and natural.
Now it's all right.
Since Dou Rong is also involved, and there is also the endorsement of Henan County Shouzhi, then the evidence must be conclusive if this family is offended.
In this way, if the old ministers come to cry again, she will have a way to refuse.
The majesty of the Han law, how can it change in response to human feelings?
At the beginning, the founding hero, Zhanhou Xiao He, who was recognized as the number one meritorious servant, broke the law and still had to go to prison, not to mention others?
Liu Che didn't feel very safe, and continued: "Imperial grandmother, this is the joint performance of Henan County Shouzhidu, Xingyang Ling Dou Rong, and Wang Wenshu. Grandson, read it to you: A total of 4,750 gold has been collected, all kinds of money, more than 10,000 pieces of gold, more than 10,000 acres of land, more than 3,000 acres, thousands of livestock, dozens of murders of the Ren family, countless injuries, in addition, there is still a large amount of wealth and all kinds of grain in the family's warehouse, which has not yet been counted......"
When Empress Dowager Dou heard this, her face turned green.
Damn, more than 4,700 gold?
The gold reserves stored in the palaces of ordinary princes and kings are nothing more than that, right?
And according to the tradition of serving death in the Han family today, after the ancestors of the Ren family are buried, what should be the wealth of the burial?
Not to mention the riches of land, copper coins, and livestock!
Such a wealthy local tyrant, let alone guilty.
Even if it is really the so-called good family, the family of goodness, and the court copied him, it should be!
You are a landlord and businessman, you have nothing to do to save so much wealth near Luoyang, and you do everything possible to shirk it in every possible way, and you refuse to come to Chang'an.
What do you want to do?
And the reputation is so loud!
It's really ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned.
Don't you know, even Xiao He has to discredit himself to show that he has no dissenting attitude.
What a death!
"If that's the case, let Tingwei try this case......" Empress Dowager Dou said lightly.
This is tantamount to sentencing Ren to death.
In feudal society, being rich was already a great sin in itself!
If you have money and don't hug the emperor's thigh, then you are even more looking for death! (To be continued......)
PS: I heard that Mr. Thief Dao Three Idiots passed away, and I really have mixed feelings.
Although I have basically never dealt with the three idiot brothers, the work of the three idiot brothers, the good Hanshi, is a book that I used to love.
Hey, I can only say that fate makes people.
I hope that the family of the three idiot brothers can mourn and change.
