Chapter 20 Let the horse come over, I am best at listing crimes
Zhao Ning sighed, turned around and became gentle again, and said: "I know it's not easy for you. There is chaos now, and the people in the city are in chaos. I don't want to embarrass you."
When Feng Pu heard this, he burst into tears and felt that the officials still cared about him.
Guan Jia is a good emperor, so there is nothing he can do if he gets angry.
You see, this is the art of imperial control.
I scolded you and dismissed your official position, but I still made you think that I am a good person.
"You go down, go home and have a good rest. I will take care of the next things. Take good care of your health at home. You will be useful in the future of the country."
Feng Pu wiped away his tears and said, "I'm leaving."
As soon as Feng Shu went out, Zhao Ning said again: "Here comes someone!"
"Official family."
"Go and ask the Imperial City Department to arrest people. Arrest all the people on this list for me! Interrogate them immediately! After the interrogation, go to Dali Temple to go through the process. I will have their heads appear on the city walls tomorrow!"
Wang Huaiji took a deep breath and said, "Yes!"
"Oh, search the house, keep searching the house! Don't embarrass their family, they will all have something to eat."
"yes."
Wang Huaiji received the emperor's order and quickly made arrangements.
He wondered in his mind why the official's temper was getting worse and worse these days.
The boss of the Privy Council resigned!
This matter spread quickly, and this was definitely a political change like a huge wave.
You must know that after He Li was dismissed from office, the position of Shaozai was vacant. Zhang Shuye now holds the position of Minister of War and Deputy Privy Envoy, which is Sun Fu's position, not Shaozai.
In this way, there is no one at the top of the political hall, and now there is no one at the top of the Privy Council.
Damn it!
What on earth is the emperor doing?
Only dismissal from office but not appointed?
Of course you have to hold a job.
But don't worry, it's a war now, and Shaozai's position is not that important.
Moreover, Zhao Ning already had candidates in his mind for the boss of the political hall and the boss of the Privy Council.
One of the candidates is in Tokyo city, and the other one is not.
And if you are now serving as Privy Councilor, wouldn’t it be hard to find Deputy Privy Councilor Zhang Shuye?
Now Zhang Shuye needs to take full control.
So taking out Feng Shu is actually a good move.
Not only did the privy councilor resign, Liu Chengqi, a foreign minister in the capital, and the two principals were directly arrested by the Imperial City Guards.
And he was directly brought to the Imperial City Department for interrogation.
He didn't even have a chance to ask for a face-to-face meeting.
At this point, people were shocked to find that the Imperial City Secretary not only started ransacking homes, but also started interrogating ministers!
The Imperial City Secretary’s Intelligence Department suddenly seems to have a lot more power!
This caught people a little off guard.
In the evening of the same day, Liu Chengqi's story was announced: he issued a food-raising order without the permission of the court, disturbing people's hearts before the battle.
The result is very simple: beheading and confiscating the house!
As soon as the house was confiscated, our Lieutenant Gao became excited. He was even more excited than playing with a girl.
Zhao Ning was naturally excited when it came to ransacking his home.
Damn it! I just sent a sum of money and now I need the money urgently.
No one needs money more than me!
The next day, that is, early in the morning on November 30th, the fifth day after Zhao Ning traveled through.
There are five more heads at the top of the city!
They were Liu Chengqi, a member of the Privy Council in Beijing, the two chief officers Zhang He and Yang Zhong, and two Du Yuhou (thousand commanders) of the Infantry Department, named Li Ping and Wang Yun respectively.
Their charges all overlap: shaking the morale of the army before the battle!
Killing is never about killing for the sake of killing.
Kill in order not to kill.
How to explain this sentence?
The purpose of killing these people is to deter those who are robbing people in the city, and to scare more people who have not yet committed robbery but have the intention to do so.
Otherwise, once more people start robbing, more people will be killed.
Therefore, the killing here is to avoid killing more people.
Whether Yue Fei is running the army, Wang Yangming or Qi Jiguang are running the army, they all follow these rules.
The five heads were juxtaposed with Xu Bingzhe's. Their eyes were still open, as if they were looking ahead, and their mouths were slightly open, still retaining the fear they had before death.
There was a row of blood stains under the tower.
In the morning, their charges began to be announced throughout the city, and for a while, the people were in an uproar.
Some of the Imperial Guards who were originally planning to take advantage of the chaos were now rolling and crawling back to their nests.
Some people in the court wanted to take this opportunity to issue an impeachment memorial to Zhang Shuye, but they did not expect that Zhang Shuye did not step down, and it was Feng Shu who was shot.
Moreover, the official family actually killed three officials in Beijing in one go.
This time...
Not only were some people so shocked that their jaws dropped, there were also a group of people who were so excited that they couldn't even sleep.
Some people have vacant official positions, and some people naturally want to take the position.
The bureaucracy is never monolithic. There are too many factions among them. Even within the same faction, there are people who have their own agendas when it comes to their own interests.
For example, in the morning, someone from the Ministry of Personnel submitted the list of recommendations to the Political Hall.
For a time, there was a turmoil in the court.
Wang Huaiji reported on the total property confiscated by Xu Bingzhe and Liu Chengqi.
After selling antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry and the like, they were all converted into money. Xu Bingzhe copied 150,000 guan, and Liu Chengqi copied 50,000 guan.
Zhang He, Yang Zhong, Li Ping, and Wang Yun combined to copy a total of 30,000 yuan.
That adds up to 230,000 yuan!
Is this much?
So many!
Don't think that 230,000 yuan is 230,000 yuan, it's different.
230,000 guan is 230 million fen. A bowl of porridge costs 2 fen. An ordinary person in Tokyo earns only 20 to 30 fen per day. It would take 27,000 years to barely reach this figure without eating or drinking!
In ancient times, the so-called wealthy people, Wan Guan was already a very wealthy person.
Those who were killed, whether they were civil servants or military attachés, were very rich.
Let's take a look at the monthly salary of an ordinary soldier in the Forbidden Army. The salary is about 300 to 1,000 cash per month.
And a colleague, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, copied out 150,000 yuan and 150 million yuan, which is the amount of money that an ordinary Forbidden Army soldier can accumulate in 30,000 years.
Look at the Forbidden Army Du Yuhou Zhanghe, 8,000 strings, 8 million coins. It would take an ordinary soldier 1,111 years to accumulate so much money.
Anything can lie, but data cannot.
This data fully illustrates how harsh the Northern Song Dynasty was towards military personnel and how favorably it treated civil servants!
And some warriors, relying on their own officers, brutally exploited the front-line soldiers and drank their blood everywhere.
Zhao Ning almost flipped the table after seeing this data!
And it also illustrates a problem. The civil servants' salary in the Song Dynasty was very high, but no matter how high it was, it was impossible for Xu Bingzhe to have so much money. This shows that both Xu Bingzhe and Liu Chengqi were corrupt officials!
Damn it!
My outlook has been refreshed by you. From now on, I will know how to make money quickly!
There are 70,000 forbidden troops in the city. Today, each of them is given a three-month salary. The average monthly salary of the forbidden troops is 600 yuan. Three months is 1,800 yuan, which is 1.8 yuan.
A total of 380,000 guan were distributed today.
There were originally 500,000 guan in the treasury, but after it was distributed, only 120,000 guan remained.
Now another 230,000 guan have been copied, for a total of 350,000 guan.
Although finances are still very tight, but...
So cool!
It’s great to raid your home!
