Huang Laosi is wearing a black Confucian robe, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with a face that looks like borrowing money, and a smile on his face that he doesn't want to pay back the money he owes.
Before the guards could salute, Lao Si waved his hand and said: "From now on, I am Huang Si. Don't be too polite."
Arriving directly in front of Chu Qing, the fourth child laughed and nodded repeatedly.
"I haven't seen you in three months, and I have gotten a lot stronger. I have been working hard all the way to the border. Brother Yu is very worried. I am afraid that you will use that silver at the border... and make the border generals who are vaguely dissatisfied with the imperial court red."
Chu Qing sighed and spread his hands: "There are only 10,000 strings in the whole body, and the rest are left at the border."
Huang Laosi's smile froze, and he froze on the spot.
"Just ten thousand guan?"
"Well, a lot of workshops have to invest. If you don't keep the money for turnover, all the initial investment will be wasted."
Huang Laosi suddenly looked disgusted: "If you don't have money, why did you invite me out of the palace?"
I no longer call myself Brother Yu, let alone my general. When I heard that I had no money, I just called myself "I".
"Who invited you to come out? It's you who wants to come out." Chu Qing said helplessly: "Ten thousand guan, fifty-five cents, do you want love or not."
"You bastard, who do you think I am, that you value your five thousand coins?" Huang Laosi's face darkened: "Chu Qing, I heard that on your way back to Beijing, you arrested more than 300 people. You are an official and a member of the family, but you have not reported it to the imperial court, and you have not asked me for instructions, either."
Jiang Yuesheng's face tightened.
Could it be that the emperor doesn't love Chu Qing anymore, so when he heard that he had no money, he had to turn his intestines?
Sun An looked calm.
Chu Qing yawned: "Well, what?"
Huang Laosi changed his face as soon as he said he would, and suddenly showed a treacherous smile: "Then...have you raided their home?"
"Not yet."
"Twenty-eight, how about it!"
"Who is second?"
"Of course it's you."
Chu Qing's face was filled with a sneer: "I arrest people, I kill people, if I offend people, then I get 20%?"
"Oh, if I don't help you, even if you ransack your home, you still have to hand it over to the court. Why don't you and I join forces to investigate these corrupt officials, ransack their homes, and tell the outside world that they have confiscated money?" In the imperial treasury, you still get 20% for free, isn’t it wonderful?”
"I don't want a penny." Chu Qing said seriously: "I only have one request."
"What request?"
"Try them, try them in Jingzhao Mansion, in front of the people."
Huang Laosi was confused: "Why?"
"Justice!" Chu Qing glanced sideways at Fu San: "Let the world know that Dachang Dynasty still has the word justice, so that the people can believe in justice!"
"What a bastard!" The fourth child was angry again: "We have arrested more than 300 people. The chief interrogator of Jingzhao Mansion. You said that you want the world to know that there is justice in Dachang Dynasty. Where do you have the courage to say such things? Is there no justice in my Dachang?"
Waving his long sleeves, Lao Si snorted: "You should say, let the world know that in the Dachang Dynasty, under the leadership of my wise and wise Huang Lao... the wise and wise emperor, justice was achieved, and only then did the people believe that It’s fair, you have to take me with you!”
Chu Qing was not surprised at all: "Anything will work, as long as we let Jingzhao Mansion interrogate. I have almost prepared the evidence, but it is still not detailed enough. Qianqiying will compile the ironclad evidence in the next few days. Family, local officials, border officials I am not prepared to let go of any of the three."
Huang Laosi did not nod immediately, but pondered for a moment: "Aristocratic families are all in trouble. If I remember correctly, there are many aristocratic families in the three border areas, and they have good personal relations with officials in the capital."
"Yes, there is such a thing."
"How do you plan?"
Chu Qing shrugged: "I'll arrest them first for the officials in Beijing."
Huang Laosi was stunned for a moment, and then uttered one word: "Wonderful!"
Turning back and glaring at Jiang Yuesheng, Huang Laosi hummed: "This is my emperor's personal army, solving the problem from the source."
Jiang Yuesheng is very innocent.
I think the problem is that you don't agree either.
The fourth child said happily: "Let's go, talk as we go, just walk, tell Brother Yu how to plan, if you don't convince Brother Yu, I won't allow you to mess around."
To persuade, I use "Brother Yu", but to not allow, I use "I", and the meaning is very clear.
You persuade me in the way and tone of a friend. As long as you convince me, then I will support you as an emperor.
Chu Qing heard the implication: "In the past, I definitely wouldn't have dared to do this and move my whole body. However, after my continuous testing and thinking, I found that the family does not have no weaknesses. There is only one, and it is also them.
The biggest support for such arrogance."
"What is it?"
"People!" Chu Qing said with great certainty: "No matter how many generations a family can have, no matter how many descendants they have, what they drive, use, and exploit are still the people. When they don't regard the people as human beings, when the people realize that they can also
When you control the fate of aristocratic families, when the common people abandon them, the aristocratic families are just like the belly of a family that is left to be slaughtered."
Huang Laosi did not agree or refute. He was thinking as he walked.
Chu Qing continued: "Now is an opportunity. General Sheng and others have been ennobled and can obtain fiefs. These fiefs will be designated as near the largest aristocratic families in the country. The people in the fiefs are all military personnel.
, an old pawn who has been discharged and returned to his fields.”
Huang Laosi’s expression moved slightly: “Tell me in detail!”
"There are so many aristocratic families that they are countless. The most terrifying thing about them is that they can threaten the people. In addition, they can unite other aristocratic families. Just like fish eating shrimps, shrimps are not qualified to unite other shrimps, but fish can.
These fiefdoms are allocated near these big fish. Once they want to gather shrimps to unite other aristocratic families to cause trouble, the old soldiers who have been disarmed and returned to the fields can quickly cut off the mess before they can unite other aristocratic families. There are many aristocratic families, but our Dachang Dynasty
There are not many big fish in the family, there are more than ten, and they collude with local officials, and even the Zhechong Mansion, and the local civil and military forces are bribed by them, but the troops in the noble fiefs who have been disarmed and returned to their fields will not be bribed by them."
"Yes, it is feasible, but it needs to be done carefully and not act rashly to cause a backlash."
"Yes, we must improve the details. As for the problem of the people, it is the biggest weakness of the family. It is because the people are ignorant. This is not a derogatory term, but it means that the people are numb and used to it. What I have to do is
To break their habits, after these aristocratic families were tried by the Jingzhao Mansion, those who deserved to be copied, those who deserved to be convicted were found guilty, those who deserved to be killed were killed, and those who deserved to be jailed were jailed. If such a big fuss was made, it would definitely spread throughout Zhongzhou and many people.
There is something in my ears that I shouldn’t say to your face, but I still have to say it.”
"You have to say whatever you need to say or not."
"As for the issue of rebellion, aristocratic families always say that in a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family, they feel that whoever they want can be the emperor. In fact, after all, it is still the common people. Rebellion cannot rely on a few generals and tens of thousands of troops.
, we need the support of the people. Now the people have realized that the aristocratic family is oppressing them, but they have no choice. If they are not oppressed, they cannot survive. When we let the people know that they can survive without being oppressed, they can still resist, and the emperor will
Make the decision for them, then the people will become the biggest enemy of the family. When the people stand on the side of the court, on your side, and on the side of justice, even if the family makes people rebel, the rebels will not have the support of the people.
With followers, to rebel under this premise is to seek death. To put it simply, Chang Chengke wanted to rebel, but the people in the fiefdom did not support him. He made a fool of himself, even if he forced him with a knife, he still did not
The public sentiment, on the contrary, made the people hate him even more."
"What you said makes sense. I also know this truth. People need justice."
Huang Laosi pondered for a long time and asked: "How many people do you want to move?"
"No one of those three hundred people will be spared."
Sun An on the side took a breath of cold air: "Doesn't that mean that all the aristocratic families in the three border areas will be moved by the leader of Chu?"
Huang Laosi laughed loudly: "Idiot, why did Chu Qing only attack the families and officials of the Third Border Road? Do you really think Chu Qing caught them along the way?"
"I don't understand, old slave."
"There is no war in Liangrong. The border army can allocate troops from the two camps at will. If there is any change among the three noble families, the border army camp will go from north to south, and the Beijing camp will go to the north. If anyone moves, there will be no trace of that person!"
Sun An suddenly realized.
To put it in a layman's terms, it means beating you, whether you are affected by it or not, you can resist, and then the border troops or the Beijing camp will go over and kill you!
Chu Qing snapped his fingers: "That's what I mean. There is basically no need to worry about Liangrong. South of Weijiang River, most of it is Chang Chengke's territory. Except for Bing Tao, who is an uncertain factor, there can be no chaos for the time being.
, the east side, Donghai Sandao, Chen Yan and Hu Nu tribe can also be transferred at any time, so start from the north side first, the aristocratic family of Guan Sandao on the north side is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The fourth child showed a pleased smile, and then glanced sideways at Jiang Yuesheng who was following behind him.
Look, look what it means to be the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion. I have only been back for half a day and have already done such a big job. Look at you again. The only thing left is to be done by a noble family.
"I'm sure, the Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of the trial of corrupt officials in the three border areas."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Don't forget, there must be irrefutable evidence, no excuses, and the most important thing is... a split account!"
