Chapter 31 Collection of property rights

The so-called military trial is actually a temporary military court.

Luo Youdu did this to give the military face and prevent civil servants from intervening in the trial of a commander at the level of Jiedushi.

Luo Youdu was not worried about amateurs like them deciding the case haphazardly. There was no need for Xiang Xun, Li Jun, and Shi Shouxin to do anything.

Zhang Jin's Wude Division has placed all the evidence in front of the three of them.

There is not enough evidence, and Wu Desi dare not arrest anyone at all.

The trial of Xiang Xun, Li Jun, and Shi Shouxin was completely a formality. They were faced with all kinds of irrefutable evidence, and some even had evidence of secret communication with the Northern Han Dynasty.

Even if Xiang Xun, Li Jun, and Shi Shouxin wanted to be dealt with lightly, they would not dare to deal with them harshly.

After twenty-three days of trial, in addition to the six Jiedu envoys, more than twenty sons of Jiao Jixun, and officials who assisted Zhang Duo in recruiting civilians to build temples, as many as 120 people were beheaded in this case.

One, as many as 381 officials were dismissed or demoted.

The news spread to all directions, and everyone was in awe.

Daming Mansion.

Tianxiong Army Barracks.

Fu Yanqing was chatting with Uncle Zhang and Zhang Le about the construction of the Horse Racing Prison.

Luo Youdu did not build the horse herding prison near the capital of the Central Plains like Zhao and Song Dynasty. Instead, he chose to build horse farms in Shenzhou, Hebei, Lin, Fuzhou, and Longyou in Hebei.

Because we have just started, we started in Hebei, which is easier to manage.

This time, Uncle Zhang and Zhang Le brought a group of the best stallions from Fugu, and Fu Yanqing was also good at this. The three of them exchanged experiences with each other and exchanged horse breeds.

Fu Yanqing had a very high political awareness and knew the importance of horse politics, so he specially sent a batch of stallions bred by himself to Zhang Bo and Zhang Le to assist in the construction of Shenzhou Racecourse.

Fu Zhaoxin suddenly burst into the tent with a nervous expression. Seeing that there were two outsiders, Uncle Zhang and Zhang Le, in the tent, he hurriedly saluted them.

Uncle Zhang and Zhang Le saw Fu Zhaoxin's expression and wisely said goodbye and left.

Fu Yanqing watched Uncle Zhang and Zhang Le leave and said, "Why are you so flustered?"

Fu Zhaoxin said cautiously: "I just received the news that Jiao Jixun, Zhang Duo, Hou Tong, Feng Jiye, Gong Shu, and Bao Lin were all executed. More than 120 people died, and a total of more than 500 people were implicated.

.”

Fu Yanqing was silent for a while, and then said with a bit of helplessness and some relief: "What a courage and good means. As a father, I have to take back what I said before. I am afraid that His Majesty's means are even better than those of Shizong."

Luo Youdu came to Luoyang, severely punished the ten elders, and placed Chai Shouli under house arrest.

After hearing this, Fu Yanqing said: "Your brother-in-law, in terms of courage, is three points inferior to Shizong."

The boldness of the method of killing more than 70 generals in the battle of Guo Rong and Gaoping shocked even Fu Yanqing. Luo Youdu's thunder in Luoyang was loud and the rain was light. In comparison, he was inevitably inferior.

It wasn't until the six military governors were captured and arrested by Wude Si almost at the same time that Fu Yanqing realized the true purpose of his son-in-law.

He glanced at his son and said, "Your good days are coming to an end. I'm afraid the Jiedushushi's financial power will not be preserved."

Luo Youdu could indeed use his power to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty to kill people like Jiao Jixun and Zhang Duo.

But after killing him, he must appease other Jiedushi and maintain stability in all directions.

It is impossible to confiscate the financial rights of Jiedushi in the short term. Being too radical will trigger mutiny and be detrimental to the overall situation.

Luo Youdu endured this move, restarted Wudesi, and used Wudesi to win Liujiedu.

The meaning is completely different.

There is nothing wrong with any of the older generation of governors.

If Wu Desi really comes to visit, who can hide?

Now that Luo Youdu has firmly established himself as emperor, and with Wu Desi in hand, who dares to contact each other to rebel?

Step by step, they unconsciously lost the strength and time to resist.

Fu Zhaoxin said nonchalantly: "The wealth our family has accumulated over generations will never be spent in a few lifetimes, so why should we go against the general trend?"

He had long heard Fu Yanqing say that the trend of unification was inevitable and the feudal towns would eventually perish.

Very open-minded in this regard...

"It's just..." Fu Zhaoxin stopped talking and glanced at Fu Yanqing.

Fu Yanqing understood the meaning and said with a smile: "Go down and call Liu Siyu."

Liu Siyu was one of Fu Yanqing's most valued generals. He was brave and courageous, and was a good soldier in charge. However, he was greedy and cunning, and relied on amassing money. He was responsible for managing the finances of the Tianxiong Army, and he often engaged in corrupt practices.

Fu Yanqing was not unaware of what Liu Siyu had done, but he was open-minded and did not care about these gains and losses. Moreover, Liu Siyu often found famous eagles and famous dogs for him, and he did not care about them and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

Of.

But now... it's time to get rid of the trouble.

Not only the Daming Mansion, but also many Jiedu envoys in the Yu Dynasty began to regulate the order at the top and bottom, and did not dare to act arbitrarily as usual.

They are all worried about being targeted by Wu Desi, who has a keen sense of smell...

Gangneung!

Central Han River.

The two awning boats were fifty steps apart, facing each other tit for tat.

Zhang Yongde did not take the fishing rod today. Instead, he stood on the bow of the boat and shouted: "Hei Da Chong, your superior officer is going back to Beijing, and you don't come to see him off. It's so disrespectful..."

Li Chongjin, who was on the other side of the boat, did not answer the question directly, but remained silent for a moment before shouting: "It's time to get out of here. I have nightmares every day when I look at that dolphin face of yours."

Even though they were far apart, they didn't feel tired from shouting.

Zhang Yongde opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. After a while, he softly said: "Let's go! We're going back!"

With that said, he got into the boat.

The awning boat gradually moved away. Zhang Yongde did not leave the cabin until the awning boat docked. However, he did not go back immediately. Instead, he stayed on the shore for a while, looking at the black shadow in the distance. For a moment, he felt reluctant to leave.

I had originally planned to leave for Beijing early this morning, but by some chance, I wanted to come over and say hello to Li Chongjin.

"gone!"

Zhang Yongde said again and left, then returned to Jiangling, joined the large army, and then headed north...

Li Chongjin stared blankly ahead. The buoy kept sinking, and he didn't realize when a fish bit the hook.

After staying for a long time, Li Chongjin realized what he was doing and hurriedly closed his rod. The fish had long since disappeared.

Staff Zhai Shouxun said: "If we go back now, we still have time to see him one last time."

Li Chongjin said: "Is he worthy?"

Zhai Shouxun smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Li Chongjin said: "Has the letter been sent out?"

Zhai Shouxun said: "Your Majesty will receive it tomorrow at the latest." He said eloquently: "If the consort knew that the envoy had helped him so much, he would be extremely moved."

Li Chongjin blushed and said, "Who cares about that dolphin? He helped me kill Zhao Kuangyin, and I owe him a favor. This is a favor to repay him..."

He continued fishing absentmindedly as he spoke.

Zhang Yongde arrived in Bianjing.

Before my butt was even hot, my old subordinate Bai Chongzan blocked the door.

"Old Palace Commander, you are really a well-fed man who doesn't know how hungry a man is. Why do you want to persuade the envoys to hand over the financial rights of the Jiedushi envoys? You are cutting off the wealth of your brothers..."

Bai Zhongzan was full of complaints.

Zhang Yongde glanced at Bai Chongzan in surprise and said, "What are you talking about?"

Bai Chongzan said dissatisfied: "This has spread, and the envoy sent a letter to Your Majesty, saying that under the consort's persuasion, he was willing to hand over the financial rights of the Jiedushi."

In an instant, Zhang Yongde understood something, an unspeakable touch flashed in his eyes, and he cursed: "This big black insect, do you want you to mind your own business?"

Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde are in special situations, but they cannot be compared.

Both of them were among the top figures in the military of the previous dynasty, and they responded to every request back then.

Even now, it still has a certain prestige in the capital.

But Li Chongjin, who was far away from the capital, was obviously safer. As long as he stayed on his own for three to five years, the new king would eliminate their influence in the army and still win a few battles.

Zhang Yongde is different. He is in the important place of the capital, at the feet of the emperor. There are some things that you may not be able to avoid even if you want to.

Li Chongjin saw that Luo Youdu wanted to gain the financial power of Jiedushi, so he helped Zhang Yongde.

On the one hand, it allows him to offend the governors of the four directions and avoid the risk of dragging others down. On the other hand, it also helps him to please Luo Youdu and ensure his own safety.

Zhang Yongde looked at his old subordinates who seemed to be asking for help, and said, "You can also choose not to cooperate."

After saying that, he ignored him and went directly to the Prince Consort's Mansion.

Before Zhang Yongde's buttocks got hot, he was summoned by Luo Youdu.

Zhang Yongde did not dare to neglect, so he changed into formal clothes and hurried into the palace.

"Consort!"

Luo Youdu personally came out of Wende Hall to greet Zhang Yongde and pulled him into the main hall.

Historically, Zhao Kuangyin chose to withdraw military power but also give financial power, which resulted in generals with heavy troops who had no soldiers to use and could only harm the people and satisfy their own selfish desires.

Not only did it cause great harm to the people, but it also paved the way for the Song Dynasty's military weakness.

Luo Youdu was on the contrary. He did not intend to take away the military power of generals, but his financial power must be recovered.

This general in charge of military power is not terrible. Without military pay and food, a general cannot achieve great things by just looting.

After removing the authority of the six Jiedu envoys, Luo Youdu had already begun to make arrangements to seize the financial rights of the Jiedushi envoys.

His original plan was to let Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, and Gao Huaide set an example. He had already put it in the charter and was just waiting for an opportunity.

Zhang Yongde didn't want to give him a big gift directly, so he persuaded Li Chongjin to go to the table first to take back his financial rights.

The effect was far more perfect than he planned.

Under the general trend, many Jiedushi envoys have begun to respond to the call and voluntarily hand over their financial rights.

This unexpected surprise doubled Luo Youdu's favorable impression of Zhang Yongde and gave him extremely high treatment.

Sure enough, he knew the time and fulfilled his duties. No wonder he lived a long and prosperous life until the Zhenzong period of the Song Dynasty.

If Guo Rong came to the throne, he killed more than 70 generals and created the Dianqiansi, which dealt a heavy blow to the feudal town, making it impossible for them to regain their former glory.

So Luo Youdu used Wu Desi to capture six Jiedushi envoys in one fell swoop and confiscated their financial rights. This was equivalent to placing a knife on the necks of all Jiedushi envoys that could kill them at any time and at any time, and also restricted their resistance.

Ability.

The bad habits and bad governance of the Five Dynasties finally disappeared step by step through the efforts of two generations.
