Chapter five hundred and eighty-ninth: the fake god stick becomes the real national teacher (21)
Chapter 589 of the text of the strategy for retirement in Quick Travel: Chapter 589: The fake charlatan turned into a real national master on the second day, the Taoist platform was demolished and restored to the original east entrance of Caishi Street, which is a place specifically used to kill prisoners and execute executions.
Generally speaking, there are only two places in Gaojing that are specifically responsible for cutting people, one is the Meridian Gate, and the other is the East Entrance of Caishi Street.
The place at the Meridian Gate is usually where the emperor is angry and angry, and he asks to kill him immediately before using it. All the people killed there are officials.
Because ordinary people will not see the emperor normally, let alone annoy the emperor, only officials have this opportunity and honor.
And the east entrance of Caishi Street is much simpler.
Anyone can cut here.
Whether it is a killer or a person who implicated the nine tribes, as long as the person who was not executed immediately is here, the person who was normal to be killed is here. To put it bluntly, if you dig a meter or two below the soil, it may be black and purple, and it has been infected by blood for many years.
The officials who were interrogated yesterday, namely those who were sentenced to death and scorching, were all escorted to the east entrance of Caishi Street when the sky was just bright, and were preparing to start executions one by one according to the rules.
The beheaders were put aside first, and they were about to arrive later, and they were chopping together, and they were cut in sequence. The dozen or so officials who were sentenced to death had their clothes removed, put on fishing nets, and started to be executed. There was no way. The execution time was relatively long, and they might not be finished one day or one night, so they had to start early.
Unlike those who have been beheaded and cut in half.
It's basically just a single knife.
If you cut into pieces, you really need to cut them slowly with one knife at a time. You have to cut them for several days. If necessary, you have to feed them some ginseng soup.
To avoid death before the cut is finished.
At the same time, they must prevent them from committing suicide by biting their tongues.
In short, it is still quite troublesome. Generally, no one is willing to take charge of this matter. In the end, the person responsible for the attack is basically to drive the ducks and put them on the shelves and barely do it.
This is being executed.
There are still many people coming to watch.
Of course, the people who came this time were basically bold, and they came to applaud the families who had a grudge against the officials on the stage.
As for the timid, I really don't dare to watch it.
This is the situation at the east entrance of Caishi Street.
Qiao Mu was discussing affairs with Emperor Jiahe and the remaining military officers in the court in Zichen Hall.
"Your Majesty, all the officials have basically been cleaned up now. Next, you only need to re-select officials. I believe that after this, the officials who are re-selected should be more at ease.
At least I can stay peaceful for a few years.
Next, I want to clean up and suppress the plague in the east and rebellion in the west, which requires the cooperation of all the generals."
If Qiao Mu wants to start talisman education and promotion with great fanfare, he naturally needs a relatively stable environment and everyone needs to see the effects of talismans. Therefore, for her, the most urgent task now is to use talismans to quickly stabilize the domestic environment.
As for the others, you can slow down first.
"Daojun is merciful, but I don't know what we need to do. At most, we generals can only help suppress the rebellion in the west. However, we are really powerless to do anything about the plagues and refugees in the east. Moreover, the main reason for the rebellion in the west is food shortage and drought. If we cannot solve the food shortage and drought, even if we can suppress it once, we cannot rely on suppression forever."
General Wang took over the conversation very tactfully, talked about his own difficulties, and then waited for Qiao Mu to respond.
Qiaomu clapped his hands, and then several eunuchs carried three boxes in and opened the box on the spot, revealing the talismans full of them. At this time, Qiaomu began to explain:
"These talismans were accumulated by me some time ago, in order to solve the chaos in the world after sufficient preparation. The box on the left contains the rain-seeking talisman. As long as there are clouds on the sky, it can basically be rained.
The box in the middle contains low-level rejuvenation talismans and low-level disease-relieving talismans. These two talismans should be able to eliminate most epidemics, and at the same time, they can restore healthier health to many people.
As for the box on the far right.
There is a whole box of low-level vajra talismans inside. If necessary, you can use those low-level vajra talismans to search the residences of officials from all over the country or the homes of wealthy businessmen with bad reputations.
Recently, His Majesty and I have formulated a new crime, which is the crime of unknown origin of huge amounts of property.
As long as you can find out the assets that the official should not own from the official's residence, or find out the assets that the rich businessman cannot explain clearly from the wealthy businessman's house, you can arrest them first and then continue to interrogate them.
The specific Ministry of Revenue officials will explain to you.
Let them go with you then.
That's basically it.
If you have any questions, ask again.”
What Qiao Mu said to General Wang and the others now was what he had already discussed with Emperor Jiahe before, otherwise he would not have been able to go beyond Emperor Jiahe and tell General Wang and the others directly.
“Is it really okay to do this?
But few officials can withstand such investigations.”
General Wang couldn't help but worry, because as far as he knew, there were no officials in this world who didn't make money, and any official didn't have any unexplainable assets in his hands, or even if some assets could be clearly stated, even if the assets that were obviously illegal assets could be clearly stated, it would be useless, and it would be illegal.
"Didn't I say that the source of huge assets is unknown. There are two words: huge amounts, and those that cost dozens or hundreds of taels are forgot. If you care about them, the entire government agency will be paralyzed.
Maybe that's all. Your Majesty will issue you an imperial edict to make you do it cheaply. The Shangfang sword I gave me before will also be given to you. During the process, you can harass some officials, but you must not disturb the people. This is the principle."
Qiao Mu continued to give a few more words, then turned around and bowed to Emperor Jiahe: "Your Majesty.
This is basically the case. If things can really go on according to my plan, the world will be completely pacified in no time.
Then Your Majesty will enjoy a hundred years of peace.”
"Very good, Taoist lord is truly a great man.
If this matter is successful, I will set up a temple for the Taoist Lord, let the Taoist Lord share the national sacrifices and serve as the national teacher, Wang Aiqing. This matter will be done according to the Taoist Lord’s wishes. If you can get things done smoothly, then I will at least leave you an earl position. If it is done well, it is possible that the marquis can be. Take people to do it quickly."
The east and west sides are the biggest concerns of the country at present. If the situation on both sides cannot be solved, the country will never be completely settled. Emperor Jiahe had long wanted to solve the two sides, but he had never been able to make any moves. Now that someone is willing to solve the problem, he is naturally not stingy.
