Having more money, food, soldiers, and horses than others, and being stronger than others, will naturally lead to disadvantages.
During the Jingkang period, the barbarians of the Jin Kingdom were more numerous and stronger than the big cowards, so they could manipulate the Emperor Ji and the Empress in any way they wanted.
When Li Yunze arrived, many people wanted to use Confucian tactics to deal with him. To this, Li Yunze could only say, 'You are overthinking.'
Basically all the big guys in Bianliang City have been dealt with. Except for Cai You who took the blame, and Liang Zhongshu who had the ability to use it, all those who hung goldfish bags and silverbait bags were sent to Sima. Just smashed the vat.
Moreover, Li Yunze doesn't care whether you are a new sect or an old sect, whether you are Yuanyou or not, as long as you are talented and virtuous, you will be appointed, just like Zhang Shuye and others.
Those who have talent but no virtue are restricted in their use, just like Liang Zhongshu, and are used exclusively for work. After the work is done, they can decide how to deal with it based on the situation.
Those without virtue or talent, except for Cai You and others who were lucky enough to be left to take the blame, were either dragged to the streets and disposed of, or sent to the ends of the earth to fish for crabs.
In addition to these, there is a group of people who have no talent but good character. They belong to the group of people who became stupid after studying in the Song Dynasty.
These people tried to use Confucianism to influence Li Yunze, so as to save the Song Dynasty through a curve.
For these people, Li Yunze gave them two choices.
One is to go to various local states and counties and become an expanded Sanshe teacher there, who can only teach the most basic reading and literacy knowledge.
If you don't want to, then it's embarrassing. Pack them all up and put them on the carriage, and send them to the borders of the southeast, northwest, and spread the academic knowledge that you have mutilated to those savages.
If you don't choose either, the scapegoat Cai You and others will come forward and accuse the new sect of being the old sect and the old sect of the new sect. Then they will defeat them academically by quoting scriptures and force them to go to the border to promote the saint. theory.
Many Neo-Confucian masters, such as You Zuo, Yang Shi and others who were still alive disciples of Neo-Confucianism Ercheng, sent long letters to Li Yunze, trying to influence him to become a good person.
Even if you become Wei Wu, don't give birth to a son who will force the emperor to abdicate.
"It's all nonsense." He looked through the long articles in his hand, quoting scriptures, talking about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors at every turn, and the letters of Saint Yue could be seen everywhere. He chose to read them out of politeness, but his impression after reading them was not that good.
He had already seen these things in other parallel worlds before.
The article is full of flowers, but it is all false and empty. It just wants to teach you to be the Duke of Zhou instead of the thief of Cao.
Throwing away all the articles, Li Yunze summoned Shi Xiu and told him to "arrange for You Zuo and Yang Shi to be envoys, one to go to the Liao Kingdom and the other to the Jin Kingdom to teach the local people the words of the saint."
Shi Xiu immediately accepted the order, but before leaving, he said, "Prime Minister, the eldest princess is still waiting."
"Okay." Li Yunze nodded, "Invite her to the study."
Not long after the meeting, the eldest princess Jiade, Zhao Yupan, timidly came to the study.
"We have met the Emperor Ji." Li Yunze saluted seriously and then motioned for Zhao Yupan to take a seat.
"Prime Minister." Zhao Yupan dodged her eyes, not daring to look at Li Yunze. She spoke softly, "The matter of the consort."
"Zeng Wei forged officials' words to participate in the rebellion." Li Yunze immediately and sternly stated, "The evidence for this matter is conclusive, with both witnesses and material evidence. I am also very sad, after all, General Zuo Wei and I are brothers-in-law. But the law is ruthless Na~~~"
'Pooh!'
Zhao Yupan secretly spat in his heart, 'You are the worst one!'
After several consorts were arrested, the emperors and concubines made inquiries everywhere and quickly found out the whole story.
In the final analysis, it's just that people are too stupid and were deceived into believing liars and got involved in the big trend.
What the prime minister really had to deal with were the big shots in the court, and the few princes-in-law were simply taken care of incidentally.
In this kind of thing, even if the emperors and concubines are dissatisfied with the stupid consort, they still have to come to the rescue.
After all, people's words are terrible. If the emperor's concubine is in trouble and the emperor does not come to save him, then all kinds of rumors will be overwhelming.
They first found Zhao Fujin, but Zhao Fujin's appearance failed to accomplish anything.
Li Yunze killed them by forging the clothes and belt edict. They were treason and could not be saved.
When they were panicking, the twenty-one-year-old girl Zhao Huanhuan took the initiative to find them.
Zhao Huanhuan expressed her position very directly, "That person likes Wei Wu the most. It's up to the sisters to think carefully about it."
Anyone who understands what Wei Wu is good at naturally understands.
The concubines were naturally hesitant and difficult to make a decision.
It was Li Yunze who was impatient to wait, and hinted that Yang Xiong, who was transferred from Yuncheng County to be the prison chief of Kaifeng Prefecture, would think of some way to move things forward.
Yang Xiong understood, and first tidied up the consorts in prison, and then invited the Emperor Ji to come and visit.
The princes-in-law, who had no strong bones at all, naturally cried and begged Di Ji to rescue them. They couldn't stay in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion no matter what.
Zhao Yupan couldn't bear to see Zeng Wei's tragic situation. After all, they both had two daughters.
After tossing and turning, I was naturally at war with myself, and finally made up my mind to find Li Yunze.
At this time, I saw Li Yunze still singing high-pitched songs, which really made me angry and laughing at the same time.
After all, he already had two daughters, so Zhao Yupan was able to let go after making up his mind.
Moreover, Li Yunze has a very good image and outstanding temperament. He is not as disgusted as those with big heads, thick necks and big bellies.
Having made up his mind, Zhao Yupan simply stood up and walked to Li Yunze's side: "Prime Minister, please ask your brother-in-law to show your respect for the matter of the consort."
"This." Li Yunze looked hesitant, "It's a great Song law."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yupan leaned over. After some rustling, Li Yunze's words gradually changed his tone, "You are a relative of the emperor, why don't you leave a whole body? Hiss~ be gentle!"
After some verbal exchanges, Li Yunze finally relented, "You can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living. Let's go fishing in Yazhou."
"It's broken." Zhao Yupan frowned slightly and stepped forward to study the music again. "I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me again."
The chair in Li Yunze's study is quite old. The mortise and tenon structure has been in disrepair for a long time. It creaks and wobbles when you sit on it. It seems it's time to replace it with a new chair.
After studying the music, Li Yunze, who transformed into a saint, sighed, "That's all. Who told me to be soft-hearted? In that case, then I will send him to Tiju Dongxiao Palace in the south of the Yangtze River and stay there for the rest of his life."
"Thank you, Prime Minister."
Zhao Yupan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no implication, his life is saved, he can still find a good supervisory position, and he is worthy of his consort.
When the eldest princess left, Li Yunze told her, "Remember to distance yourself from the prince-in-law. After all, he is guilty. I will go to the mansion to visit the emperor in a few days."
"Yes." Zhao Yupan, who looked strange, nodded, "The official family has issued an edict to reconcile."
After Zhao Yupan, Zhao Jinnu and Zhao Jinluo also chose to help the consort under the constant persuasion of their eldest sister.
Song Bangguang and Cao Sheng also saved their lives and were sent to various places in the south of the Yangtze River to find places to settle.
Li Yunze would visit the princess's house every now and then, and they would study music together. They lived a very comfortable life.
He was not idle when he was in the mansion. After all, there were so many girls waiting to study with him, and the schedule was very tight.
On this day, Li Yunze and Lu Junyi, the newly appointed head of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, fought against each other in the yard. The two of them had a great time fighting with each other like dragons.
After a hearty battle ended, Li Yunze called Shi Xiu, who was watching the battle carefully, to arrange for manpower to prepare Tang Mu.
At this time, Lu Junyi stepped forward and said, "Prime Minister, I have found a house in the city and will move there in the next two days."
Lu Junyi, who came to Bianliang City before, was so squeezed out by the local gangsters in Bianliang City that he couldn't even buy a better house.
Now, as soon as Li Yunze came to power, he, Lu Junyi, also followed the rising tide.
Not only did he become the head of the Chamber of Commerce in Bianliang City and the entire Song Dynasty, many local snakes even took the initiative to provide him with excellent houses.
Too many bosses and hereditary generals were unlucky. Not only were they ruined, but their homes were also confiscated. Recently, many good houses have been vacated in Bianliang City.
In line with the principle of not wasting, Li Yunze, in addition to distributing it to meritorious people, mostly packaged and sold the remaining items in exchange for goods to subsidize the military.
"A house has been arranged for you." Li Yunze looked over in confusion, "Why don't you live there?"
"The Prime Minister's house is only for those who have meritorious service." Lu Junyi responded with a smile, "I haven't made any merit, so how dare I ask for it?"
"Prime Minister, I have made peace with my humble wife." After hesitating, Lu Junyi made up his mind, "From now on, the Jia family has nothing to do with me. Please take good care of me, Prime Minister."
Li Yunze immediately straightened his face and said, "Brother, who do you think I am?"
‘Who the Prime Minister is, everyone in Bianliang City knows it~~~’
Lu Junyi's smile did not diminish, "Ms. Jia has been thinking about the Prime Minister for a long time, and she is almost crazy. I hope the Prime Minister can help me."
"Hey~~~"
Li Yunze sighed, "Everyone in the world has misunderstood me, even you. That's all. Since you, brother, have mentioned this, I have no choice but to accept it."
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Lu Junyi breathed a sigh of relief, this matter was finally settled.
From now on, I don’t have to face Jia’s resentful cold face anymore. I can also be with Yan. Ahem~~~
Lu Junyi took Yan Qing and others out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, while Jia stayed and still lived in her own yard.
The girls in the backyard had already expected this, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.
As time goes by, Bianliang City has gradually taken on a new look.
The princes and relatives of the Yamen who once acted rampantly have long since disappeared.
Either they were thrown into the street and disposed of, or they were sent to the mines, along with their helpers and servants to tease them.
All the foxes and rats in the city were wiped out. Most of the heroes from the east city and the men from the west city were directly disposed of, and the rest were mined.
As for the Beggar Gang that was so popular in some books, Li Yunze didn't find Gang Leader Qiao anyway, but he collected too many evil deeds of the Beggar Gang.
Evil beggars are naturally dealt with. The children who are taken away by the pimps are either sent to find their families and sent back. Those who cannot find their families are sent to nursing homes to be raised.
If nothing else goes wrong, these children in nursing homes will be arranged to join the army when they grow up, which can be regarded as a way out.
All kinds of miscellaneous taxes and fees were waived, and Li Yunze also distributed money and gifts to everyone from time to time.
In the past, under the dream of prosperous Henan University, those who enjoyed the prosperity of Bianliang City were only people with status, while ordinary people had a hard time making a living.
But now, in just a few months, the entire Bianliang City is full of vitality. The people who had been struggling to survive all day now have more and more smiles on their faces.
This trend extends from Bianliang City to all directions, and will eventually spread to the whole world.
