Speaking of Li Jiedu's crimes, not only did Huang Qiong's face show no signs of coldness, but his smile grew brighter and brighter. Anyone who knows his character will definitely know at the first moment that the King of England is really angry at this moment. When Huang Qiong said this, he ignored Li Jiedu, who was scared to death and almost collapsed to the ground, and the Pingliang soldiers and horses beside him.
He just continued: "In the past few years of your term as Longyou, your promotion of your subordinates is not based on their own abilities or talents. It is based on how much money they give you, or how much they can contribute to you every year after taking office. How much? You, the military envoy of Longyou, are in charge of the military envoys of the six prefectures and three capitals of Tibet. In addition to more than 20,000 guards, there are also 13,000 Tibetan troops under your command."
"If you include the Tibetan army, the guards under your jurisdiction are the best among all the roads. The area under your jurisdiction covers Qinghai and the Hexi Corridor. It has been a must pass through the Silk Road since ancient times. The area under your jurisdiction looks barren, but it is actually a military envoy. The oil and water are the best in the world. The Tibetan military envoys are known to Xining. They were originally specially set up by the imperial court in the Hexi Corridor and the Tibetan tribes around Qinghai Lake in order to suppress the attached Tibet."
"Responsible for suppressing the thirty-seven annexed Tubo tribes in Qilian and Qinghai, and more than 200,000 Tibetan herdsmen. This position is related to the stability of the annexed Tubo tribes, which is not unimportant. In order to defend themselves, the Tibetan tribes in Qinghai need ordnance , armor, almost all require the approval of the Tibetan military envoy of Xining, and you, the Jiedushi envoy, before you can purchase it from the Arsenal Department of the Gongchang War Ministry and the Ordnance Supervision."
"We have 6,000 Han soldiers and horses in our hands. Not only does it have a heavy responsibility, but it is directly related to the stability of the surrounding Tubo tribes. It can also be said to be the strongest force under the command of all the soldiers and horses in the world. The original soldiers and horses were transferred to the mainland, and the original imperial court A successor has been chosen. But you and your in-laws teamed up to forcefully squeeze out the original candidates from the court and transfer Jiedu Chengxuan, who was originally a playboy, to take over.
"It's just because that envoy promised to give you one hundred thousand guan and one thousand taels of gold every year after you took office. And after this person took office, your appetite increased greatly. In addition to the original promise to you, you will receive 100,000 guan every year. In addition to money and one thousand taels of gold, he often sends people to ask for Tibetan women, jade, and precious stones, and the amount of money is increased by fifty thousand taels every year. And your son is also greedy."
"I often use your name to extort money and women from the Tubo tribes. When the Tubo tribes arrive, they not only extort money, but also force them to sleep with the women they like, regardless of whether they are married or not. Every year, merchants If the caravan passing through the Hexi Corridor does not pay tribute to you and your son, your family may be ruined. Among the goods trafficked by the caravan, you will have to forcibly claim the goods that you like. "
"If you don't give it, you will send your henchmen disguised as horse bandits, kill the people and steal all the goods. Since you took office, in the name of eliminating the old and the weak, you have dismissed four thousand guardsmen behind the court's back. But the military salary reported every year The money needed is still in the name of 20,000 people. In other words, at least 20% of the military salary allocated by the imperial court to the Longyou Local Guard every year has been swallowed up by you secretly. "
"Furthermore, you have to delay the payment of the food and salary allocated to the Guards by the imperial court for half a year. Because as soon as the money arrives, you loan it out at usury. Not counting other aspects every year, you make enough from this alone. You are even so greedy that you have to embezzle and deduct the burial expenses for soldiers who died of illness or during the suppression of bandits. Every year, the money needed for the clothing of the Guards must pass through your hands."
"You colluded with the Jieduzhi in charge of food and salary, and monopolized the clothing expenses of the armies. The armies' winter clothes must be made in the clothing workshops designated by you every year, otherwise you would not allocate money at all. Those stores gave you benefits, Naturally, we have to find it from other aspects. Since you took office, the winter clothes of the army have basically been issued for a month at night, and the fabrics are also made of the lowest quality fabrics."
"You can't even wear it for a season and it's in tatters. You turned the entire Longyou Guards into a bunch of beggars in the winter. When you were in your own house, wearing fur clothes and roasting over the charcoal fire, did you ever think about it? Are your brothers suffering from the cold because winter clothes were not distributed in time? The winter in the northwest is already very cold. But what you did made your brothers even colder."
"Relying on your unscrupulous methods, you can be said to have made a fortune in the past few years. Those who relied on digging three feet into the ground and harvesting the fat and blood of the people and the blood of the soldiers made it possible for you, who is only a second-grade Jiedu envoy, to live a life all day long. A life of luxury and decadence. You, a little military governor, actually eat better than the emperor and dare to eat more. You eat thirty-eight dishes for three meals a day, but you still feel like you have nowhere to eat."
"Your favorite dish of braised duck with human milk is worth more than a hundred dollars. In order to satisfy your preference for this dish, plus you don't know where to get the recipe, it is said to be the freshest food. Human milk can maintain your health and enhance your ability in the house. You actually have more than a hundred wet nurses in your house to provide you with human milk. The expenditure on this aspect alone costs tens of thousands of dollars every year."
"After you took office as the governor of Longyou, you were very fond of eating Qinghai Huang fish, Yellow River carp, and Qinghai shrimp. You would eat them almost every day. These fish and shrimps were fished from Qinghai and the Yellow River after traveling thousands of miles. After being transported to Taofu, you have always only eaten live food. You have more than 200 concubines from Han, Uighur, Tubo, and Dangxiang ethnic groups in your house, and your monthly money is more than 10,000 yuan."
"In order to appease those concubines, you actually imitated Emperor Wu of Jin, riding a sheep cart every day to go to that concubine and rest there. Not only are you ridiculous and unruly, but your eldest son, Concubine Ji, is also There are nearly a hundred people. With so many concubines, let alone your small salary as a second-grade military attache. Even I, the prince and prince, may not be able to support you."
"Corruption, taking bribes, and relying on power to buy and sell goods. Even this matter of killing people and selling goods, you can do it without any scruples. Even to make money and satisfy your own animal desires. Regardless of the court's appeasement of the Tibetan tribes. As usual, he repeatedly exploited the Tibetan tribes regardless of the safety of the entire northwest. Not satisfied with what he did, he even asked his son to exploit them with him."
"Secondly, as the governor of Longyou, after the rebellion in Ningxia Mansion, you did not want to be loyal to the country and put an end to the rebellion as soon as possible. Instead, you were afraid to move forward. You have nearly 20,000 guards in your hands, which is the best in the world. Although he had the largest number of all the guards, only 4,500 were dispatched to quell the rebellion. Not only did he hide in Lintao Mansion and refused to come forward, he instead commanded randomly from behind, resulting in a huge defeat for the army."
"The cowering military envoy of Pingliang Prefecture should have been dismissed from his post at the least. But instead of imposing any punishment, you just excused him blindly. Thirdly, Qingyang Prefecture was besieged for a month, but He just refused to save him. A large number of reinforcements were mobilized from various states and were transferred to Lintao Prefecture to look after his home and hospital. He sat back and watched Qingyang Prefecture being besieged, asking for help three times a day and ignoring it."
"As a military officer, he is greedy for life, afraid of death, and afraid of enemies like a tiger. As an official of the imperial court, he does everything possible to extort people's wealth. With the responsibility of supporting Tibet, he extorts money violently. What does the imperial court want from an official like you? How unlucky are the soldiers and civilians of Longyou to encounter a corrupt official like you? Your crime, even described as unforgivable, is simply too numerous to describe. Even if I don’t kill you, it won’t be enough to anger the people.”
Huang Qiong turned around, with a faint smile on his face, and glanced at Li Jiedu, who was almost paralyzed by fear. He shouted directly: "Come here, take this Li Jiedu who only knows how to make money but doesn't know what he should do. And the envoy beside him who is afraid of fighting and sits back and watches the friendly forces fighting hard with more than half of the soldiers and horses injured." The king has captured them. When the troops are officially sent out, their heads will be used to pay homage to the sky."
After hearing Huang Qiong's order, the wolf-like soldiers who had been waiting in the hall came directly to the two guys who had been paralyzed by fear, took off their official hats, stripped off their official uniforms and tied them up. At this time, Li Jiedu, who already knew his fate, suddenly became tough: "King of England, I am the second-grade Jiedu envoy. You have neither requested the order nor been tried by the three departments. You can't kill me." .”
In response to this guy's sudden toughness, Huang Qiong just pointed to a sword wrapped in bright yellow cloth on the desk, and said lightly: "This is a gift from the emperor himself before I set off. Officials below the second rank, Including you, the second-grade Jiedushi, I have the right to kill first and then report. What's more, as a Jiedushi, you should have heard about what I did in Zhengzhou."
"I can kill an earl. You are a second-grade Jiedu envoy who is full of evil and guilty. If you don't ask for an order, I can't kill you? Also, before you die, I want to tell you by the way. You I have sent people to check your home in Lintao Mansion. I have also sent people to lock up your family and escort them to Qingyang Mansion in the near future. Your eldest son will accompany you on the journey. "
"There is also your in-law who is colluding with you. His Privy Council Office must have been fired by now. Let me tell you bluntly, no one in this world can save the person I want to kill. Besides, if I don't borrow your Head, what can I do to appease the morale of the Longyou Guards? How can I explain the experience of these more than 10,000 guards in the past few years? How can I face the Tubo tribes?"
Huang Qiong waved his hand, signaling to the soldiers to keep him under custody. Then he turned his head and said to the dumbfounded Du She: "I know that you are not to blame for the defeat of this battle. Therefore, I have no intention of holding you responsible. From now on, you will act as the governor of Longyou. . I will give you a three-day deadline. The thousands of guards that that bastard brought to Huanzhou must be taken care of by me at least like a human being."
"If it is three days later, those thousands of guards will still be so loose. Let alone you, the acting military envoy, there is no chance of becoming a full-time official. Even your original deputy envoy, it is not clear whether you can continue to work. In a word, the court will not If you are raising rubbish, I will not use rubbish. I have only one principle in employing people: if you advance, you will be rewarded, and if you retreat, you will be punished. Like those two people who are afraid of fighting, they can only kill without mercy."
Having said this, Huang Qiong walked to the Longyou map hanging behind him, glanced coldly at the generals in front of him, and then said: "Now, all the armies have arrived. How to fight this battle? The king wants to hear your opinions. After all, you are the ones who are really leading the troops on the front line in this counter-insurgency battle. Let me tell you all now, and I will adopt your opinions if they are right."
"Even if you say something wrong, I will never hold you accountable. As long as you think it is necessary or correct, you can speak freely. Even if you point your finger at me and scold me, as long as you are right, I will never blame you. . But I have something ugly to say first. Today, I give you the opportunity to express your thoughts. Of course, you can also choose not to say it, or not to express your opinion. "
"But if the decision is made, you must go all out to implement it. If anyone gives me a discount in this regard, I know you, but the national law and military law do not know who you are. What I need now is your ideas , in order to learn from everyone's strengths. Rather than being wise after the fact. Therefore, I hope that you will still express your thoughts. If you dare to speak, you will be guiltless."
