Chapter 242 Fusang
Everyone has different experiences and different minds.
Zhao Kuangyin made his fortune as a military general, so he attached great importance to military power. He also saw the cowardice of literati, so he was very relieved about civil officials. As long as he did not embezzle, he would generally not be punished heavily.
But at this time, the country could not really take charge of the world's troops because there was a place, a vassal state! Their master was called the Jiedu. The Jiedushi of the Song Dynasty was not the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty, and they had military power, but this military power was the Xiang army, not the imperial guards, and the imperial guards were always kept in the capital. But there was a fatal place. At this time, the Xiang soldiers were not as depraved as the later Xiang soldiers. Some Xiang soldiers were also able to fight under the training of these famous generals, no less than the imperial guards. Each of them had few people, with three or five thousand people in the large town, and only nearly a thousand people in the small town.
It turned out that Zhao Kuangyin did not take it seriously, only a few thousand people, who dared to rebel? But when he went north to Taiyuan this time, he had to recruit various troops. According to the rules, Zhao Kuangyin had to send these local troops to the consent of the Jiedushi. Zhao Kuangyin was unhappy and decided to take back the military power to the central government again. Moreover, the years of decentralization of military power has weakened the strength of the Jiedushi, and when the time is ripe.
The second cup of wine was released to the military power.
Zhao Kuangyin used the name of a singular post to recall Wang Yanchao, Wu Xingde, Guo Congyi, Bai Chongzan and Yang Yanzhang back to the capital and held a banquet in Houyuan to entertain him. They were all military generals, and even stripteases came out, and it was a banquet, so they said everything.
While talking about friendship in the past, Zhao Kuangyin said: "All the ministers are old ministers in the country. They have been in charge of important towns for a long time and are busy with the country. This is not the etiquette of my favorable treatment of old ministers."
Wu Xingde said: "It's not hard work, this is what I should do."
Zhao Kuangyin stopped laughing immediately, and his black face became even darker.
The other people were not afraid of being afraid. What are we doing? We had very little power and did not make any mistakes, so why should we take back our military power? There is only one person. Wang Yanchao, who has been worried about Zhao Kuangyin turning over his back account over the years, and even this governor was trembling. And he thought a lot, for example, Zhang Yantong, and he killed the chicken and showed the monkey. Another thing is that his two sons bought a charity stock in Hezhou, and he could share a lot of money every year. A few old guys fought over and over again, but weren't they still fighting for their descendants? Why do you fight for it? Therefore, he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no credit, and has been honored for a long time. The old minister feels guilty. Now he is old. I beg you to return home and ask your majesty for your compassion."
A few old guys still disagree. When the emperor surrendered to you, you used a few stagnant of money to send the emperor out like a beggar. Now I am naturally afraid of death, but I have not offended the emperor, so there is no need to be afraid. Wu Xingde stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, we once attacked the city and got into battle. It is not easy to fight to this day. We can't just retreat."
The other three agreed.
In fact, the four of them are old, and they are 62 years old. Guo Congyi is 61 years old, Bai Chongzan is 61 years old. Yang Yanzhang is 58 years old, and this era is long since the age of retirement. The reason why he does not retire is not because he wants to occupy the position of Jiedushi, but because their son has not been granted the title of Yinfeng, and his official position is not as high as Song Jiu.
Lao Wu said it, so he said it directly, "The Emperor is wrong." If the descendants of the Jiedushi are usually hereditary officials, even if they are not in the Jiedushi, they can still be in the second-level officials such as the Defense Orchid Orchid Order.
If the delegation training envoy is actually appointed as an official, it would be quite a bit. It is Yang Liulang's official position in Hebei.
The offer price must always be higher, so that you can counter the price.
Zhao Kuangyin said slowly: "The great achievements and achievements mentioned by all the ministers are all the affairs of the previous generations, and they are not worth mentioning here."
This is the palace of the Song Dynasty, not the palace of the Later Zhou, the Later Han and even the Later Tang Dynasty!
The merit you made has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty!
The five people pinched their noses and couldn't make a sound. Could it be that they dared to overturn the case for Chai Rong?
He took down these five representatives and started the following actions. Since then, he has rarely given the title of Jiedushi, and continues to find opportunities to take back other Jiedushi's official positions.
The magistrate sent to the governors to supervise and divide their rights.
He sent a transfer envoy to Jiezhen, who was responsible for the financial and financial responsibilities of Jiezhen, and regularly transported the financial responsibilities to the capital.
The clouds of the Jiedushi's military governors shrouded in China for more than 200 years finally gradually melted away. Even the Jiedushi's military governors gradually became a virtual position.
The five people also had officials, who were the crown prince and tutors with moral virtue, Congyi was the general of the left Jinwu Guard, Yanchao was the general of the right Jinwu Guard, Chongyun was the general of the left Qianniu Guard, and Tingzhang was the general of the right Qianniu Guard. In other words, he had an official position to get a retirement salary.
Hearing this imperial edict, the five old guys looked at each other. They were still unwilling to give up and retreated like this. Wang Yanchao suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Let's go to the theater to watch the show together."
"Walk."
A few old guys rode to the theater, but the tickets were sold out again. There were tickets at the door, which were high-priced tickets. Yang Yanzhang was so angry that he arrested a ticket collector: "Big mother, you dare to make even our money."
The ticket drawer made him raise it up, so scared that he didn't dare to speak. Several old guys held the ticket to enter, and the ticket drawer reported to the patrol servants of Hezhou. The servant pointed at one of them and said, "Don't you know who that person is? He is General Shi Shouxin. The one who can hold his shoulders with him is bad. I can't control it, so I want to report it to Kaifeng Mansion."
It’s not okay to report to Kaifeng Mansion. A few frustrated old guys are on the rise. Do Zhao Kuangyi dare to mess with him?
In fact, it is hard to say how positive the Zhao Kuangyin's move is. He is too cruel and the elite soldiers are placed in the capital together. However, he dare not train troops like Zhang Qiong. He only seeks to learn from the party and pretends to be stupid, or pretends to be mute like Yang Lin. In addition, the capital is a prosperous place, what army can he train?
After Chai Rong finished gnawing his old capital, the decline of the Song army began.
Then he had various ways to strengthen the army, and even raised the largest army in the world, with combat effectiveness not as strong as the tens of thousands of impeachment soldiers in the Song Chu.
The Cezi written by Song Jiu in the second year of Gande was a bit too much, but at this time, it was the time. However, at this time, Song Jiu might not be able to save his life.
Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin was not very kind, and he took it away as soon as he said he would take it away, and he didn't give it to him either. A few old guys bargained for a little bit, even if they gave them a little bit of a false position, maybe they would have a little calmer mentality or some rewards.
This year's decline is unimaginable.
And almost made a bigger mistake...
Zhao Kuangyin felt very at ease. The fight between Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi was a struggle at home and it was irrelevant. Therefore, his eyes were directed at another person, Fu Yanqing.
When Wang Hu arrived at Daming Mansion, he did not return home by Zhou Jin, but jumped into the fire pit. But he was not sure, what if Fu Yanqing really rebelled? As soon as he arrived at Daming Mansion, Wu Xingde was about to jump again. I was in Daming Mansion, and what did the imperial court send another prefect to do?
Fu Yanqing did not jump, he was lucky. He had a more cunning son-in-law. He received the news in advance and politely took Wang Hu to the general's mansion. The two of them chatted. Wang Hu couldn't sit still on the spot. For no reason, Fu Yanqing had three daughters and three sons. The eldest son had passed away. The second son Fu Zhao was willing to take a idle position in the capital and be the governor of Enzhou. He could also be a hostage. The old and young Fu Zhaoshou spent all his life. Either the two daughters were alive, one was Chai Zongxun's mother, who was originally in the capital and later moved to Luoyang. Then he moved to Fangzhou. What is Fangzhou? It is specially the place for exiled princes and grandchildren, including Li Xian, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang. The tenth ** will not die well. Another daughter is Zhao Kuangyi's wife.
When I saw Fu Zhaoshou, I thought Fu Yanqing was not old. In fact, it was not. Fu Zhaoshou was Fu Yanqing's old son. Now Fu Yanqing is 71 years old. Will such a person still rebellion? How can Sima Yi and Sima Zhao be so kind?
But it's hard to say, Wang Hu continued to investigate.
Many people were watching his every move, whether it was Zhao Kuangyi or the Fu family, all his heart was raised. Wang Hu continued to investigate, but did not find any rebellion, but heard a very interesting thing. That is, when some vassal states were rented by the people, some officials were not good at finding ways to embezzle them, but the rent was fixed, so they did not dare to increase the rent. So they used a big bucket or a hubei, which was a one bucket, not a flat amount, but a pile up. When could it not be piled up, and when would it be considered a one bucket? Often, a one bucket could be levied with a one bucket. One bucket could be levied with a one bucket and a half bucket.
Fortunately, the taxation in the Song Dynasty was not too heavy at this time, and the land was vast and sparse. As long as you were diligent and did not encounter major disasters, you would have a good harvest, so the people would not complain. This extra one was earned by officials. In most places, it was either heavy or light. But the Daming Mansion was the most important. After Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he sent a regular officer to the steward to steward Hu, and the amount of steward Hu began to settle. Then he ordered the number of grains and grains in the gap between the two, and rewarded Fu Yanqing. Don't punish the people, I want it, I will give it to you. I am so sad that I disgusted Fu Yanqing.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin completely forgot about borrowing money from Zhang Yongde in an urgent manner in order to propose marriage.
However, is Fu Yanqing really short of this money? Even the Fu brothers will buy tens of thousands of stones of rice every year when they pay dividends in Hezhou!
If Fu Yanqing was only forty years old, he might have deliberately defamed his reputation and made no secret plan. In his later years, he would be buried at any time, so why bother?
Thinking of this, Wang Hu felt a little sad. If Zhang Fu and the other two raised the flag to oppose it, Zhao Kuangyin would not be able to sit still because of their support. It was precisely because of their support that the country was smoothly alternating, but in order to repay the safety, Lin Lao used these inequality methods.
After not investigating, Zhao Kuangyin sent an in-house envoy to inquire. Wang Hu reported bluntly that Fu Yanqing had no intention of rebellion. He used his family's lives as a guarantee. He also wrote to Zhao Kuangyin to learn from the lessons of the Jin and Han dynasties' killing innocent people due to suspicion, so as to make the country quiet.
To say it directly, it was not to demote Fu Yanqing or say that he was treasonous. This was a sign of wanting to kill Fu Yanqing. He could not be killed.
If nothing unexpected happened, Zhao Kuangyin just smiled after seeing it, and there was still someone behind him. He did not revenge on Wang Hu for the time being. Since Wang Hu used more than 100 lives of his family as a guarantee, it would be inconvenient to use the rebellion to enforce Fu Yanqing.
Later, when Song Jiu heard about this, he was scared and sweated. If Wang Hu was really greedy for the prime minister, maybe Zhao Kuangyin just wanted to use this excuse to take Fu Yanqing off, but someone in the middle made trouble, Fu Yanqing would definitely die. Even if he was in prison, would he still have a way out at his age? Fu Yanqing died, forcing Zhao Kuangyin to no longer be able to reuse Zhao Kuangyi, and he would be very miserable.
However, that's it. Fu Yanqing has not been let go. You can't stay in Daming Mansion. The reputation is too bad. Fengxiang Jiedushi is just empty. You go to Fengxiang. Touch Fu Yanqing to Fengxiang, but it can't be adjusted. God knows how many fire pits there are waiting for old Fu to jump over in Fengxiang.
There is a master behind the old talisman, so just adjust it. On the way, I was sick due to old age and was very ill, so I lay on my shoulder carriage and rushed towards Fengxiang. If there was no Zhao Kuangyi, I would have to pull it to Fengxiang even if I died. With Zhao Kuangyi, it would be different. Zhao Pu has been silent until now.
At this time, he finally entered the palace and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Emperor, my father is seriously ill and cannot go to the town. I hope the emperor will give him a special medical treatment in Luoyang."
Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and agreed.
He was on vacation for 100 days in Luoyang and treated him. This man was old, and he had a little bit of serious illness. He stayed in Luoyang and did not leave, but he was so anxious that the other person in the secret. He didn't need to come forward. The reason was very simple. Since he was on sick leave, he would not be able to get a salary. But Lao Fu was still paid. When he was old, he was greedy and asked him to ask. He was originally trembling, but he was caught and knocked down the Censor for interrogation. In addition, he didn't know whether it was a real disease or a fake disease, or a death!
Zhao Kuangyi had no choice but to plead again.
So Zhao Kuangyin took Fu Yanqing as his marriage and specially explained it. He took off the Jiedushi and stayed in Luoyang to recuperate. Zhao Kuangyi breathed a sigh of relief. Just demote him, not afraid of being demoted, but afraid of being killed. As long as Fu Yanqing died, the emperor's brother would inevitably be suspicious of him. Without the trust of the emperor, he was the crown brother and had also been in charge of a seemingly wrong national policy. What would happen?
Spring is coming, but Zhao Kuangyi looked out the window, and there were cold murderous intents in his eyes, as well as his desire for imperial power, and his control of fate... It was not until this time that Zhao Kuangyi completed all his transformation!
The Gu mother was finally raised by Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu. Only one person could vaguely know it, and it was only after the incident that it was gradually guessing. It was Wang Hu's turn. This kid was very ignorant. You still have the nerve to stay in Daming Mansion? Quickly transfer him to Xiangzhou as the prefect. Xiangzhou may be important, but it has a military status and has nothing to do with the size. It is not as important as the Daming Mansion. Later, the Beijing City of the Song Dynasty was important.
