Duan Ye said calmly: "The pacification envoy is a temporarily granted position. Of course, the court must also clarify the pacification envoy's duties and let him represent the court and specifically manage certain matters that the court wishes to govern. In these specific matters, the pacification envoy
Representing the imperial court, of course, he has more power than the governor, but in other matters, the governor is the highest official of a state. If the matter does not involve appeasement and does not involve the scope of authorization, of course, the governor will be respected."
Duan Ye's words were high-sounding, but neither he nor Wei Bin actually knew a word, which is called clever naming.
Yes, of course the court can dictate what you should do, but once the power is decentralized and the names are given, how can you expect people to strictly abide by such a huge power when they get there? Does this matter have anything to do with the authorization?
Isn’t it still the comfort envoy who has the final say?
Seeing Wei Bin's silence, Duan Ye simply continued: "As for the rank, the comfort envoy should not be too high, but it cannot be too low, otherwise the local government will despise it. Moreover, for urgent matters, one needs to have the power to make arbitrary decisions on the spot, otherwise
, it is a mere name and a meaningless addition.”
Duan Ye exposed his ambition so nakedly, which actually made Wei Bin feel a little relieved, because in Wei Bin's understanding, the more ambitious people are, the more they pretend to have no ambition, such as Wang Mang, who used to
He is humble and prudent, not greedy for money, not lusty, not fond of power, and not cliquey. He is almost a role model for ministers. However, in the end, he is a thief of the country, and having fun is the biggest business.
Duan Ye had already done a lot of help to Fu Hong and himself. It was normal to ask for remuneration. It would have been wrong not to ask for it. And now, Duan Ye offered such a high price, which actually did not surprise Wei Bin. Anyway, with the sky-high asking price, it was
There will be people sitting on the ground to pay back the money. This is nothing.
It's just that experienced people like Wei Bin often have a blind spot in their thinking, that is, judging others by themselves, but they ignore that "showing them to the city" is actually always the best way to deceive.
But Duan Ye's request actually put Wei Bin in a difficult situation, because according to Duan Ye's conditions, satisfying him would be equivalent to putting Duan Ye on an equal footing with Lu Guang. The advantage of this is that it allows them to check and balance each other.
, they started fighting among themselves, and Chang'an was actually safe.
But the disadvantage is that this is actually a disguised recognition and elevation of Duan Ye's status. A year ago, no one in the world knew about Duan Ye. Half a year ago, almost everyone in the world who cared about the current situation knew about Duan Ye, but that was because
He has military exploits and is the youngest governor, but if this comfort envoy was given to him, he would be a veritable first-line prince.
Wei Bin was in a dilemma. Emotionally he thought he couldn't give it, but intellectually he felt that at this critical moment, he must take risks to survive. But the problem was that the consequences of this decision were too serious and related to the fate of the country. He had no choice but to take risks.
The right to make decisions on behalf of Fu Hong
Therefore, Wei Bin said calmly: "Your proposal is of great importance. I can't give you an answer. You need to wait for a few days."
Duan Ye knew that he needed to go to the higher-ups to ask for instructions from Fu Hong, and the method was probably the same as flying pigeons passing letters. Anyway, since he had already proposed it, he would just sit back and wait for their reaction, so he was not in a hurry.
By the time Wei Bin left, it was time for a massacre to begin in the Warriors' Fort.
More than a thousand people from the Qian family, the Zhuang family, and the Feng family lined up neatly, kneeling on the largest street in the Warriors' Fort. People passing by stood on both sides of the street and watched.
During military control, no one dared to discuss anything openly, but they were all whispering. Of course, for safety reasons, many of them spoke Xianbei dialect.
"What happened to these three families?"
"Looks like he's going to kill someone."
"Kill more than a thousand people at once?"
"What's the matter? The loser will definitely be punished."
In fact, no matter whether they are Han people, Huns, or Xianbei people, no matter how different their nationalities are, one thing is basically the same, that is, they are very lively, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement. They don't know that politicians
The purpose of killing is definitely not because of bloodthirsty, and most likely not because of any grudge against the person being killed, but rather for political purposes.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horns, and more than a thousand soldiers strode out. All of them had murderous looks on their faces, and they all held big swords in their hands.
Obviously, these people are all executioners, and the appearance of these people means that the execution time is coming!
At this time, the onlookers noticed that Duan Ye, who occupied the Warriors' Fort and threatened to kill people, was not just pretending. He really wanted to show these people some color.
"Dedede" a rapid sound of horse hooves came, and the people of the three major families who were kneeling on the ground with disheveled clothes raised their heads one after another. A trace of heat flashed in their eyes. Could it be that Mr. Duan really decided to change his mind?
Take back your life?
This kind of thing is not without precedent. On the contrary, it is too common. For those who are disobedient, I first threaten to kill them. This is to establish my authority and let you know that I am not so hot. Then at the last moment, I put a big knife to my neck.
When the time comes, let go and spare your life. This is a great grace. For ordinary people, with such two hands, they will obey you honestly.
In fact, what these big families value most is neither national morality nor personal feelings, but interests. Although they were loyal to the Qifu tribe in the past, at that time, the Qifu family was powerful and ruled.
Here, if it was Tuoba or Murong at that time, there would be no difference between them, they would still be loyal to them
Now that Duan Ye has occupied this place, they actually have no psychological pressure to be loyal to Duan Ye. But at that time, they made a wrong judgment. They believed that the reason why Duan Ye was able to win was due to luck, and Duan Ye's
His actual strength is actually limited. After all, he is the governor of Dunhuang, and his roots are in Dunhuang. If he is not here, if he wants to control this place, how can he control it from thousands of miles away? In the final analysis, doesn't he still have to rely on big families like his?
The Qian family, always the one taking the lead, even thought of taking advantage of the opportunity for the three families to work together to overthrow the Jiao family, which had always been on top.
It should be said that there is nothing wrong with this idea, but the problem is that they chose the most wrong way. In order to prove their strength to Duan Ye, they actually chose to resist when the Dunhuang army just entered the city.
Of course, they are not really resisting, but they want to send a signal to Duan Ye that the power of the three major families is still very strong. They believe that Duan Ye will definitely come to talk in order to calm things down and stabilize the situation quickly, and at that time
, the initiative is in their hands, they are following the trend, so it’s just good for you, good for me, good for everyone
They completely misjudged Duan Ye, so now the whole family, old and young, is on the execution ground.
The knight is getting closer and closer, and the hearts of those who are waiting to die are also in their throats. Their life and death are at this moment.
The knight ran up to Hu Kai who was supervising the beheading and shouted: "Master Hu! Duan Shuai has ordered, kill according to the original plan!"
Hu Kai nodded heavily, and a soldier behind him skillfully released a signal bomb, a green light, a whistle, more than a thousand knives were swung down neatly, more than a thousand heads flew into the sky, and more than a thousand blood streaks
Arrows rise simultaneously
All this happened in just one breath, but it happened so logically and without any suspense.
Most of the people watching were dumbfounded. They were really dumbfounded.
In the past, when the Qifu tribe ruled here, it was not that they never killed people. On the contrary, they killed people almost every day, and it was not just beheadings and quarters, but also hangings in public, including dismembering the body with knives and quartering the body with five horses. They had all seen it.
, they are already well-informed people and have no other feelings about killing people.
But today, they were really scared
What a great gesture! When more than a thousand people were killed, they were actually killed in public, and it was so uniform and smooth that it even gave people the feeling that killing them was a matter of course.
Although the reputation of the three major families among the people was not good in the past, the Han people believed that those people were traitors and acted as the lackeys of the Xianbei people to persecute the Han people. The Xianbei people were actually dissatisfied because the Qifu tribe gave these families a lot of money in order to facilitate their rule.
The convenience makes Xianbei
People think that your Qifu tribe, as a Xianbei, does not take care of your own nation, but takes care of other people's families. So when the news came out, the newly occupied Duan Ye wanted to attack the three major families. In addition to the close relationship with the three major families, the people
Except for people, there was not much backlash
Even if everyone is worried, it is mainly because they feel that the three major families are quite powerful. Could Duan Ye's newcomer really kill them?
In the end, Duan Ye told them that their idea was right, and Duan Ye's solution was to kill them.
Sometimes, when a problem is too complex to be solved, the most direct way is not to solve it, but to make the problem not exist.
If everyone is killed, what’s the problem? If you kill a few, then there might be a problem. If you kill them all, then there’s no problem.
Suddenly, a fishy smell came. It turned out that someone was so frightened by the strong smell of blood and the chilling atmosphere that he actually lost control.
And soon, the stench quickly spread, because it has a contagious effect. Since others were so scared that they peed their pants and pooped their crotches, I would not be embarrassed if I did it myself. Everyone is like this anyway.
At this time, the soldier who delivered the order also smelled the smell, and he admired Duan Ye in his heart. Because Duan Ye had completely expected this scene, therefore, according to Duan Ye's previous instructions, he said loudly: "Fellow folks
! Dear elders, Duan Shuai said that the three major families have committed serious crimes, so they have been punished. All the villagers have also suffered greatly. Now that the execution is over, everyone please go back."
As soon as these words came out, with a "Oh my God", the crowd dispersed like birds and beasts. In less than a cup of tea, they actually ran away cleanly.
