Having said this, Huang Qiong turned the rosary in his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know whether others have been wronged or not. But for you, Jin Jiedu, I am going to execute the law immediately and execute you on the spot. There is not the slightest bit of injustice. Don’t forget, I still have the authority to know what to do with Zhengzhou. I have the right to make the decision on all matters involving Zhengzhou’s counterinsurgency."
After Huang Qiong said these words, Jin Jiedu, who had complained the loudest before, immediately broke into cold sweat, and felt even more regretful in his heart. Cursing himself secretly, why did he listen to King Jing's envoy's instigation? After learning that the two kings had rebelled, he had a wait-and-see mentality. After receiving the imperial edict from the imperial court to cooperate with the King of Shu and the King of England in suppressing the rebellion, he still stood still.
Little did he expect that King Jing's rebellion didn't even cause a splash, so the whole army tied up in front of Hulao Pass. Although King Rui is still defending Ruzhou, everyone knows that the rebellion of the two kings, which shocked the world, basically ends here. If they die, they will die, but his previous wait and see brought him great misfortune.
As for Jin Jiedu, who had already served as the military commander of Henan Road on Henan Road for one term, the reason why he moved slowly. In addition to the fact that he has always wanted to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, there is another point that he cannot say anything to anyone. Before King Jing's rebellion, he sent someone to find him and gave him a large amount of 300,000 Guan in Wuwei Bank deposit and withdrawal notes.
He promised that as long as he sends troops ten days late, not only will the three hundred thousand dollars belong to him, but King Jing will also transfer all the land of Prince Jing's Mansion in Zhangde Mansion to him. This Jin Jiedu knew that there were more than 30,000 acres of good irrigated land. And with these 30,000 acres of land and 300,000 guan of money, he only needed to delay sending troops for ten days.
How could this money-minded Jin Jiedu refuse to agree to such a small request? Anyway, for him, whether these rebels will reach the capital in ten days has nothing to do with him. Anyway, to him, whether a son kills his father or a brother kills his brother, it is their own business. Whoever becomes this emperor will kowtow in the same way.
King Jing and King Rui won, and he was considered a hero. If he loses, he will have many excuses for delaying the dispatch of troops. Ten days, as long as you assemble the guards, you can achieve it with a little delay. Anyway, the imperial court also knows the current situation of the Guards. How could he, who was already obsessed with money, refuse such a thing that would benefit two birds with one stone?
Although he was afraid for a while after learning the news of King Jing's defeat. He did not expect that King Jing's tens of thousands of troops would disappear so quickly without even raising a splash. But the news of King Jing's death that came later made him put aside his panic. King Jing is dead, and no one knows about the 300,000 yuan he received from him.
Although I still regret the 30,000 acres of irrigated land in my heart, the 300,000 yuan can be regarded as a small amount of money to make up for it, right? Even if the court investigates him afterwards, he will still have many excuses to use. I just didn't expect that such a secret thing would still be found out. It really echoes the old saying, don’t stretch out your hands, or you will be caught if you stretch out your hands.
In fact, even Huang Qiong did not guess the real reason why the emperor arrested Jin Jiedu. Huang Qiong didn't know, and Jin Jiedu didn't know either. Jin Jiedu, who thought that his affair was exposed, simply told him about accepting money from King Jing, poured beans into a bamboo tube, and vomited them all.
His explanation, not to mention the surrounding people being arrested, made the frightened officials dumbfounded. Even though he originally thought that he was just avoiding the battle and wanted to reap the benefits. This made Huang Qiong and Commander Yu Du, who had given the emperor a secret order to capture him, couldn't help breaking out in cold sweats after looking at each other.
Compared with the piled Jin Jiedu, Mr. Fang, who was transferred from Zhejiang Road to the post of envoy of Henan Road for one year because he died of a sudden illness as the envoy, is much calmer. In his opinion, he was not involved in the rebellion. After the rebellion started, he repeatedly urged Jin Jiedu to send troops to quell the rebellion, which can be regarded as fulfilling his duty.
My biggest problem is that when Jin Jiedu was looking for excuses to delay, I didn't notice anything unusual about Jin Jiedu. At most, in addition to the rebellion between the two kings, all the officials of Zhengzhou Prefecture and Ruzhou were involved. As the chief inspector of Henan Road, I just failed to fulfill my responsibilities as an inspector.
According to the "Laws of Da Qi", at most, he would be demoted to serve the people, not even exiled. Compared with Jin Jiedu, who not only had to lose his own head, but also had to involve the whole family and possibly lose their heads together, he was much luckier. Although I am a little reluctant, what can I do in the face of the imperial edict?
It had only been a year since he arrived at Henan Road, and he already had the idea of becoming an official. I can only sigh in my heart that I left in this way. Although it is a little embarrassing, there is no doubt that it may be considered lucky. It's better than losing my head in the future and not knowing what happened or who I offended.
After becoming a Jinshi, this person served in the Ministry of Household Affairs for three years, and then was assigned to serve on Jiangnan East Road and Zhejiang Road. He was promoted from Tongzhi of Prefecture. Zhejiang Road and Jiangnan East Road have always been the wealthiest areas of Da Qi, so there are no feudal clans. He has been working in the Transportation Department since he was transferred to Zhejiang Road.
From tea and salt affairs, he was promoted all the way to the transfer envoy. He is a recognized financial expert in Daqi official circles. At present, the income of the imperial court is becoming increasingly difficult, and the emperor originally planned to transfer him to the position of Minister of Household Affairs. However, after the former Henan pacifier died of a sudden illness last year, because Henan Road is an important area in Gyeonggi and an area prone to floods in the Yellow River, he was transferred to Henan pacifier.
After this person arrived at Henan Road, he discovered that the officialdom here was extremely complicated. Henan Road is too close to the capital, and high officials from all walks of life in the capital, including princes, princes, dignitaries, and even high-ranking concubines in the harem, interfere with Henan Road very frequently. In addition, King Jing and King Duan, two princes who ruled Henan, formed a complex and powerful network of relationships.
I originally thought that this time I would be the first to sit all the way and officially show off my talents. But he didn't expect that after taking office, it would be difficult to break this network, let alone flex his muscles. Most of the energy this year has been devoted to dealing with officials with strong backgrounds. He felt physically and mentally exhausted after a year, but now it was a relief for him.
Unlike Fang Yaozhi who felt that he was finally free, after hearing Jin Jiedu's confession. The new Henan Road Jiedu envoy, Mr. Yu, felt unusually shocked. He looked at his predecessor, his colleague in the border army, with half pity and half regret.
This Jin Jiedu was too familiar to him. Among the Daqi frontier troops, who didn't know that in the second year of Mingde's reign, he led 7,000 cavalrymen to attack thousands of miles from Yan'an Prefecture, crossing the grasslands and deserts and going deep into the hinterland of Northern Liao Dynasty. He defeated more than ten tribes of Northern Liao in succession and captured and killed more than 70 princes of Northern Liao. He broke through the Northern Liao Dynasty and went to the capital, capturing more than 100 princes, clan members and concubines of the Northern Liao Dynasty.
At that time, the clan, princes, nobles, princes, and concubines of the Northern Liao Dynasty who stayed in Shangjing were almost wiped out. The palaces and government offices in the capital were also burned to embers. Even the empress dowager in charge of the affairs of the Northern Liao Dynasty might not have escaped disaster if she had not been lucky enough to serve in the army at that time.
At that time, the Emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty, who was sending his army south to the border with the invaders, heard the news that Shangjing City had been breached, the palace was burned, a large number of clan members were captured or killed, a large number of concubines in his harem were robbed, and many princesses were captured. He was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of blood. Then he died on the way back to the army, which triggered several years of civil strife due to the struggle for the throne, which only subsided in recent years.
In that battle, everyone in Beiliao was heartbroken, and they have not dared to invade the border again. This was the first time since the reign of Emperor Taizong of the former Tang Dynasty that Han cavalry had penetrated deep into the grassland and desert. Although Bei Liao later redeemed the captured princes and concubines with heavy sums of money, Bei Liao still regards that battle as a great shame and humiliation.
Had it not been for this man who not only set up his troops to rape the captured palace maids and civilian girls of Bei Liao during the march and retreat, but also set the example himself, raping several concubines of the Bei Liao emperor, and secretly having sex with a Bei Liao princess. Being a concubine prevented her from being ennobled. This person is not just a military envoy now. At least he must have a position among the Sima Bujun commanders in front of the palace.
Not necessarily a duke, but definitely a marquis. Who in the world didn't know that he had great military exploits and was praised personally by the emperor as the golden cavalry of my dynasty? How do you think that this person was transferred from the defense ambassador of the border army to the military governor of Henan Province and has only been in office for a few years?
The fierce and fierce pride of the past is gone. After running thousands of miles, the domineering spirit of the lone army deep into the hinterland of Beiliao has also disappeared, and now only money is in his eyes. He sold himself for only 300,000 yuan. Not only did he get himself and his future, but he also got a whole family. It was really cheap.
Compared to the magnanimous Mr. Su, the commander of Yudu felt sorry for him. Yuan Xuezheng, who had just been appointed to act as the pacifier of Henan, was not excited at all to take over the title of First Constitution. After finally stabilizing his trembling body, he looked at the officials around him. They were nearly half the size when they arrived, but they looked at a loss.
This former scholar is now the first Xian of Henan Road. Since becoming a Jinshi, he has been serving in the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Rites, and the Yushitai. I waited until I was promoted to the third rank right deputy to be the censor of the capital. I don't know what kind of magic path I took, and I got a chance to be a scholar before King Jing's rebellion. In fact, there are no advantages at all, only one advantage, that is, being honest, obedient, and timid.
Huang Qiong didn't know what the emperor was thinking about letting such a person act as the Henan Road pacifier. What Henan needs now is capable officials, not good old roly-poly men. By letting such a person act as Henan's pacifier, Huang Qiong knew that he would probably have a headache in the future. Fortunately, the emperor gave himself Zhengzhou instead of leaving the entire Henan aftermath to himself.
Otherwise, I would be pissed off by spending all day with this nodding gentleman. Huang Qiong couldn't care about why the emperor chose such a person as the first constitution and what he thought about the change of horses this time. However, there are still things that should be said when facing these officials.
The new pacifier is a good old man. If the people below are trying to do anything, Coupled with the nerdy new prefect, the aftermath is bound to be a mess. Sometimes, how about crying together instead of crying at home? Killing the chicken will frighten the monkey, but you still have to kill when it's time to kill.
Looking at the gloomy-looking officials in front of him, Huang Qiong cupped his hands and said with a faint smile: "My lords, in order not to fight, I had to resort to luring you into a urn. My lords were tied up once. My lords are a little frightened. I am here and I cannot accompany you. Please forgive me, lords."
How dare these people ask the King of England to apologize? Even though they all know that the King of England's apology is just a show of force at best and does not show sincerity at all. But that's enough for these people. Not to mention accompanying him to be tied up once, but even if he was arrested together, what could he do?
