Liu Ping's rebellion against the Song Dynasty was not fully investigated until two months after Ye An returned to Tokyo City. During this time, everything about Liu Ping was abuzz in Tokyo City, and public opinion began to tilt towards the side of justice.
In the eyes of many people, Liu Ping had no reason to rebel against the Song Dynasty. If he was greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he lead his troops to aid Yanzhou?
At present, the imperial court's official report also gave Liu Ping justice. Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji, who went to Hezhong Prefecture, conducted detailed investigations and obtained detailed personal and material evidence from the people of Yanzhou and the soldiers who fled back.
Then the truth came out. The Zhenxi Army and Zhangwu Army led by Liu Ping were fighting fiercely with the Xixia Army. Huang Dehe, the Song general who was accompanying the rear, took the lead in escaping, resulting in the entire army of Liu Ping and others being annihilated.
After Huang Dehe and others fled, they plundered local residents along the way for more than ten days, and the people suffered greatly. After Huang Dehe fled back to Yanzhou, Fan Yong, the magistrate of Yanzhou, did not allow him to enter the city and ordered him to return to Yanzhou.
Huang Dehe was extremely frightened, so he filed a complaint first, falsely accusing Fan Yong of framed him. At the same time, he falsely accused Liu Ping and others of surrendering to Xixia.
Therefore, the imperial court sent troops to surround Liu Ping's family and would arrest Liu Ping's family members. Fortunately, there were loyal ministers in the court, such as Jia Changchao, Fu Bi and others, who persuaded the officials that Liu Ping was a loyal and good man of the country, but the treacherous ministers did not rescue him.
He was just arrested. So the officials demoted Lu Shouqin and Yanzhou Tongjian Ji Yongzhang to their official posts in Yanzhou and exiled them to Lingnan.
Although the investigation results of Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji have not spread to the public, they are very detailed in the court. Ye An also has a special secret message from Ganliang, and the information in it is basically consistent with the investigation results of the two of them.
.
Later, Wen Yanbo wrote a letter to Zhao Zhen and wrote a letter in the text, believing that Huang Dehe should be beheaded according to the law because he escaped from the battle, and Liu Ping and others should be rewarded for their loyalty to the country.
It is said that the prime ministers of the two houses were extremely angry after seeing the document. The Song Dynasty was not as powerful as Xixia in terms of combat power. The most fearful thing about the defense-oriented strategy was that someone would hold back. Huang De was left behind despite all the calculations.
and this trash.
In order to calm the public anger and give an explanation to the people, Zhao Zhen issued an order to cut Huang Dehe in half according to the law, demoted Lu Shouqin to the governor of Hubei, and Li Kangbo to the governor of Junzhou. He planned to use the seal to remove his official status and assassinate the city of Leizhou. At the same time,
He posthumously granted titles to Liu Ping, Shi Yuansun and others, and bestowed favors and a large amount of property on their relatives.
Liu Ping, in particular, not only released his entire family, wife and children, but also gave him the title of Xinlingfang as a sign of favor.
Qin Mumu watched the Liu family move into the mansion not far away miserably, then looked at Ye An and said: "Liu Jisun has lived in our house these days and played well with Ling'er. I have seen you dissatisfied several times.
She looks so good, why are you afraid that your daughter will be kidnapped?"
Ye An widened his eyes and said: "That is our daughter... Besides, Ling'er is not someone who can abduct anyone, and it doesn't matter how powerful your daughter is. Only she can abduct people back, how can she do it?"
The reason for being abducted?!"
This is reasonable. Ling'er's education is completely different from that of children of this era. Qin Mumu looked back and saw her casually hanging the white jade gift from Liu Jisun around Ye Mei's neck, and kept praising it for its beauty.
I'm afraid this girl can also see that Ye Mei really admires Liu Jisun, a young man who dares to plead his father's grievances.
Ye Lingchang, on the other hand, said that he was stupid, saying that Liu Jisun should not have come to look for his father. Instead, he went to Yujie Chongjia in person on the Tiansheng Festival half a month later. He should have looked for the emperor when he complained to the emperor, so how could he look for her?
Where is dad, the Marquis?!
As soon as these words came out, Qin Mumu felt that the girl she had raised followed her father and could think things over at a young age. The most important thing was that she knew that Ye An's role in it was not big and might even be counterproductive.
.
Sure enough, the official family settled the relatives of Liu Ping's family in Xinlingfang. Isn't this just giving them eye drops?
Ye An wants to leave Tokyo and go to the northwest, while Liu Ping vows to die to serve the country. This is a sharp contrast and a knock on the couple.
The Liu family sent a greeting card and some gifts from the court to express their gratitude. Ye An accepted the greeting card and thanked him, but asked Tieniu to send all the gifts back with his soldiers.
This was a gift from the imperial court to support heroes. How could he accept it?
As the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Yisun brought his younger brother Liu Jisun to pay a visit and thanked Ye An profusely for his timely help. Ye An and Qin Mumu accepted it with peace of mind.
Originally, this matter was no longer within their jurisdiction. It was just a matter of moral assistance. Although he did not ask for anything in return, Liu Yisun knew etiquette and had a lot of etiquette.
However, the visit of the Liu brothers also made Ye An see some facts clearly. Only absolute rights can find out the truth, and only absolute rights can protect against the threat of imperial power.
Before the facts could be ascertained, Zhao Zhen sent troops to surround the Liu family and imprisoned all members of the Liu family to await punishment...
Xinlingfang has returned to its former bustle. The arrival of the Liu family has not brought much change here, but Ye An plans to sell all the shops to his family.
That's right, the pedestrian street of Xinlingfang has become a scene in Tokyo. All the shops are the best-selling places. More people come and more money is made. The first batch of neighbors have moved away, and now they all follow Ye.
An's personal soldiers are running the business, and now they plan to withdraw, so there is no need for these shops.
It's good to just keep some for the soldiers to live in, so selling it will bring a lot of money.
The Liu family had just received a reward, so they were naturally rich. Ye An did not offer a high price, but sold it at an ordinary price. No one could tell what was wrong. However, some people envied the Liu family for getting such a huge advantage, and some
People praised the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion, saying that Ye An was anxious for justice and gave a fortune to the Liu family.
To outsiders, the Hou Mansion lost money, but for Ye An, it was a win-win deal. The Hou Mansion benefited from getting rid of its burden, and the Liu family also benefited.
The two Liu brothers did not plan to join the army again. The eldest brother Liu Yisun got the post of the third squadron and worked as a judge in Dali, while Liu Yisun got the favor of Chaofenglang.
After hearing the news, Ye An looked at the satisfied expressions of the two brothers and shook his head slightly. Another general of the Song Dynasty disappeared. No one knows better than him how valuable people who have been on the battlefield are, especially those who have followed Liu Yisun like this.
The children of generals whose fathers went to the battlefield and experienced life and death with soldiers are the precious wealth of the generals of the Song Dynasty.
But in the blink of an eye, he changed from a general to a scholar. Even if Zhao Zhen bestowed great wealth on his family, what would be the use?
Are the civil servants of the Song Dynasty missing him? Of course there is no shortage, but the loss of military talents cannot be filled at will. This is the court of the Song Dynasty, which has turned a family of generals into literary talents, and naturally lifted the family's
military power.
As for the vacancies that arise, those ordinary generals will naturally fill them. These people are not generals and have no sense of honor or family inheritance, but they are easier to control.
In Ye An's opinion, this is equivalent to constantly killing the alpha wolf of the wolf pack, and finally selecting a pig as the leader.
The generals of the Song Dynasty are not as good as the previous ones. Even the fierce generals and good generals who appear like comets will be consumed by the system of the Song Dynasty. Di Qing and Yue Fei not without death under this system.
But if the old Zhao family didn't realize this, Ye An wouldn't believe it. After all, he was the king of a country. How could he be less wise?
However, the fear in my heart of the yellow robe is far greater than the invasion of foreign enemies, so that "I would rather give it to a friendly country than a domestic slave, use China's material resources, and gain the favor of the country!"
