As soon as Qu Jie woke up the next morning, she immediately climbed out of Yukun Cave and recalled the particle robots.
Start sorting through the information they collect.
The reason for distinguishing is, of course, because Qu Jie cannot guarantee that the information they collect is absolutely correct, so she still has to use her own judgment.
Loud conspiracies and rumors spread.
It's definitely not the same as the accuracy of private planning.
After more than an hour of this, Qu Jie roughly understood what had happened, and whether Marquis Wanqu had done those evil things, and was he unjustly accused?
How to describe it, this matter involves quite a lot.
The origin of the matter can be traced back to ten years ago.
Ten years ago, Emperor Taikang, who ascended the throne at the age of nine and had the Empress Dowager Zhang in charge of the government for twelve years, finally succeeded in taking over the power personally because of the death of the Empress Dowager Zhang.
The last person to have a similar experience was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
He made great achievements soon after taking office.
But Emperor Taikang was obviously not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If he had the ability of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he wouldn't have had a lot of bad things happen later. As soon as he came into power, Emperor Taikang began to promote people he trusted, such as his personal eunuch Wang Zhen. , such as catering to a flatterer.
Especially as several veterans of the three dynasties passed away one by one, he became even more unscrupulous, and the entire government was in chaos under the governance of him and his cronies.
Among them, the eunuch Wang Zhen, whom he called his teacher, was the most domineering and his evil deeds were too numerous to describe.
For example, all officials in the entire court must give gifts to them if they want to do something, and if they want to be promoted, they must give gifts. Those who give gifts in sufficient quantities can get things done, and their official positions can also be promoted. Without giving gifts, or Giving a small amount of gifts is not what he wants.
The punishment may range from being demoted to a more severe punishment, including being imprisoned and beheaded.
Officials had to kneel down and salute when they saw him. Anyone who failed to salute would be viewed with hostility by him and regarded as someone dissatisfied with him. The imperial censor did not worship him and was imprisoned and exiled to serve. The young minister of Dali Temple did not worship him and was secretly resented by him. When the other party tried his godson's case of robbing a girl, he framed him and sentenced him to death. Later, because there were so many opponents in the capital, it almost triggered a riot among the people, so he was sentenced to exile.
Through these operations, Wang Zhen vigorously promoted those who were flattering and flattering, and brutally suppressed those who opposed his dictatorship and were disrespectful to him, thereby achieving the goal of quickly forming parties for personal gain.
As a result, most of the people in the court are his own people.
The result is that the entire government is in a state of chaos. Only those who are willing to grovel, flatter, and flatter others can stay. The upright and honest people are either killed or exiled and demoted, leaving no place for them to stand.
Emperor Taikang may know, or he may not know that clearly, but this person is indeed his, and it is indeed his indulgence. Is it possible to say that he does not take responsibility?
In the fourteenth year of Taikang, that is, the fourteenth year that Emperor Taikang ascended the throne and took charge of the throne for two years, to be more precise, it was eight years ago. Wang Zhen withheld the tea, salt, iron, etc. that the Northern Barbarians deserved in the tea-horse trade. supplies.
This caused dissatisfaction among the officials of the Northern Barbarian Mutual Market.
Then he killed someone when the Northern Barbarian officials questioned him.
This directly caused the Northern Barbarians to be furious and invade the pass to plunder.
Although they fought a long war with the Northern Barbarians at the beginning of the founding of the country, since Emperor Taikang's father Xuanzong, the two sides entered a period of peaceful development.
Although there are still some minor border conflicts, there are no longer major wars. A tea and horse trade has been opened on the border with each other. The Northern Barbarians used livestock such as cattle, horses and sheep to exchange their scarce tea, salt, and iron in the tea and horse trade.
They exchange what they have with each other, and everyone gets what they need. You can also buy food and the like. Except for the iron limit, other good things are unlimited. In order to satisfy the Northern Barbarians, they have money to exchange for some more expensive things. , the prices of cattle, horses and sheep are not low. Because of this, the Northern Barbarians are willing to maintain peace for the time being and not enter the customs to rob.
But Wang Zhen was really used to being arrogant and domineering in the court. No matter what money he got, he had to keep half of the disaster relief money. Then he thought that the Northern Barbarians were as easy to bully as the officials in the court.
Half of the trade payment was directly deducted.
In other words, half of the tea, salt and iron are deducted.
When the Northern Barbarian officials went to question him, Wang Zhen also felt that the officials in his family had to kneel down and salute when they saw him. When the Northern Barbarian officials saw him, they not only refused to kneel down and salute, but also dared to question and scold him loudly. It was really inappropriate. If he was right, he would kill the person.
After the Northern Man received the news, of course they were immediately furious. Good guys, they are willing to participate in the tea-horse trade, but they just don’t want more people to die. It’s not that they are afraid of you. You are doing this just because you want to start a war with us. , or the kind that takes the lead in provocation.
If you are unkind, then don’t blame us for being unjust.
If you don’t trade in the future, just grab it.
Immediately afterwards, it was natural for the Northern Barbarians to invade and plunder the people. The Min army and the defense, which had not had any major wars for decades, could simply be described as fragile. They were rampaged by the Northern Barbarians and swept away all the way.
Urgent reports came in from all directions.
Then there was Emperor Taikang. After hearing the news, he was both angry and eager to try. He wanted to imitate his grandfather and great-great-grandfather in the Northern Expedition, drink from the vast sea of horses, seal the wolf as a slave, and maybe be given the posthumous title of Emperor Wu after his death.
Coupled with Wang Zhen's beard-slapping and gliding horse, it is said that he has the qualifications of a military god and a soldier. As long as he takes action, he can definitely kick Wei Huo and defeat the likes of Bai Qi and Han Xin.
I believe in Emperor Taikang.
It was natural to announce that he would go on a personal expedition.
The most outrageous thing is that he not only demanded that 500,000 troops be mobilized within three days, but in order to let hundreds of officials and nobles witness his illustrious military exploits, he also mobilized most of the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty, and even most of the nobles. Some of them were brought with them, and even the historian brought several of them.
It is convenient to record his military exploits in a timely manner.
In the end, it only took five days for Emperor Taikang to go out with an army of 500,000 and more than half of the civil and military nobles. Of course, his most trusted confidants, such as the eunuch Wang Zhen, were also brought with him. As for the government, it was his mother who Empress Dowager Sun cooperated with her half-brother, King Xiang, to oversee the administration of the country. To be precise, it was King Xiang who oversaw the country.
Empress Dowager Sun supervises King Xiang.
Prevent him from having any objections.
As a result, under a chaotic operation that could only be regarded as nonsense, Emperor Taikang and Wang Zhen could be said to have easily killed an army of 500,000 people, as well as more than half of the civil and military officials and nobles. The half-million-strong army was directly cut off from water and food by the Northern Barbarians, and was besieged and destroyed.
Most of the ideas came from Wang Zhen.
When the city was destroyed, Wang Zhen was beaten to death with a mace by a general who knew he would die.
If the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism were not still there.
It is estimated that Emperor Taikang could not escape the blow.
The final result of this war was that the 500,000-strong army was basically wiped out, 90% of the civil and military officials brought there died, and Emperor Taikang was captured by the Northern Barbarians.
