Qian Song

Chapter 279 Goodbye Li Qingzhao

...

After Li Cun took over Bianliang City in Tokyo, there was only one main reason why he did not open the city gates and let the people in Bianliang City go in and out freely. caught.

Yes.

Li Cun had already mastered the jade ultimatum that recorded the number and list of royal family members and clan members of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

However, after the initial capture, Li Cun sent people to repeatedly count and check according to the jade documents, and determined that there were still many princes, emperor concubines, concubines and other royal relatives and members of the royal family who were at large.

Therefore, Li Cun ordered Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Fan Qiong and others to find out all the other royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasties who were hiding in Bianliang City, Tokyo, so as not to leave any future troubles.

For this reason, Li Cun even issued an imperial decree: As long as there is still a royal family or clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties at large, the gate of Bianliang City in Tokyo will not be opened.

Li Cun had no choice but to issue such an order.

There are still many royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasties who fled to the homes of ordinary people to hide in order to avoid being hunted down.

The point is that there are still many people who deliberately shielded the royal family or clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

For example, when Li Cun sent Song Jiang and the others to fetch the jade documents, Shao Pu, the servant of the household department, and Zongzheng Shaoqing Huang Zhe served as the supervisor and handover officer of the jade documents. Shao Pu tried to destroy some jade documents in order to preserve some of the Tokyo Bianliang The royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties in the city.

Fortunately, when Li Cun sent someone to ask for the Jade Document, he considered this possibility. Therefore, he specifically told Song Jiang and the others not to make any mistakes, and asked them to copy two copies of the Jade Document on the spot.

This is why Shao Pu was not given a chance to do something.

Some people in Bianliang City, Tokyo, are also sheltering the royal family or clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties for various reasons.

And once one or two of the royal family or clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty are allowed to run away, it may be endless troubles.

After Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Fan Qiong and others took the order, they immediately sent people around to capture the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and Wang Shiyong also invited the newly appointed Kaifeng Governor Qiu Xian to publish a list to show Tokyo The people in Bianliang City asked them to hand over the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Qiu Xian was originally an official of the Zhao Song Dynasty, but at that time he was just a very inconspicuous small county magistrate among the many Zhao Song Dynasty officials who fell into the south.

At that time, Qiu Xian didn't want to be an official for Li Cun, but wanted to sneak back to the north secretly.

However, in the past, Qiu Xian dealt with the lawsuits, executed them swiftly, and severely punished corrupt officials who broke the law, and the people were satisfied.

Therefore, when he learned that Qiu Xian was about to leave, more than ten thousand citizens of the county held him back, escorted him back to the county government office, and took turns to take care of him, preventing him from leaving.

At night, Qiu Xian left again through the convenience door.

But before Qiu Xian could leave the county government office, thousands of people rushed in and took Qiu Xian back to the county government office.

Afterwards, the matter was widely spread, and even reached Li Cun's ears.

Li Cun knew that Qiu Xian was a very capable official, and seeing that Qiu Xian was so loved by the people under his rule, he personally received Qiu Xian, personally came forward to persuade Qiu Xian to stay, and promoted Qiu Xian to be the governor of the state where his county was located. Zhizhou.

Later, Li Cun further promoted Qiu to be the prefect of Yingtianfu.

Now, Li Cun moved the capital to Bianliang City, Tokyo, and straightforwardly recruited Qiu Xian to be the prefect of Kaifeng.

If you want to ask who most wants Tokyo Bianliang City to quickly restore order, open the city gates, and let the people in the city live a normal life, that person must be Qiu Xian, who is in charge of the Kaifeng Mansion.

There is no way, the people in Bianliang City in Tokyo have become very dangerous and difficult to manage because of panic, worry, and suspicion, and all of these are on Qiu Qian's shoulders.

Therefore, at Wang Shiyong's request, Qiu Qian issued a very sincere announcement, saying: As long as the royal family or clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty are handed over within three days, then the hidden royal family of the Zhao Song Dynasty, The clan will definitely not die, and those who protect the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty will also be exonerated. The key is to hand over all the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and the gate of Bianliang City in Tokyo can be opened, and everyone can live a normal life of life.

In order to motivate the public, Qiu said that as long as they can provide useful clues, anyone can get [-] acres of fertile land. If they can send the royal family or clan of Zhao Song Dynasty to Kaifeng Mansion, they can even directly get [-] acres of fertile land. .

In order to let the officials at the bottom work hard to find the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, Qiu Xian also set high rewards.

After Qiu Xian's actions, a large number of royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty were sent to Kaifeng Mansion or arrested immediately.

In addition, regardless of character, Wang Shiyong and others who were specifically responsible for hunting down the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties really have the ability to execute.

With the efforts of Wang Shiyong and others, a large number of hidden royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasties were found out.

One of the most classic cases is:
Someone handed in a corpse, saying it was that of King Pu Zhao Zhongli.

This Zhao Zhongli is the great-great-grandson of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, the cousin of Song Shenzong Zhao Xu, and the uncle of Zhao Ji. He belongs to the clan of Genzheng Miaohong. If he is allowed to run away, he must be qualified to inherit the throne of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

In order to win the trust of Wang Shiyong and others, the group who sent Zhao Zhongli's body to receive the reward sent Zhao Zhongli's wife and concubine (46-year-old Mrs. Liu and Zhou Junjun) and Zhao Zhongli's two daughters (15-year-old Pu Sanzongji and Si Year-old Pu Wuzongji) were all tied up.

At first glance, this must be true.

But after Xu Bingzhe verified that Zhao Zhongli's wife, concubine and daughter were all fine, he still had doubts about Zhao Zhongli's identity.

Later, Xu Bingzhe learned after interrogating the people in Prince Pu's mansion that there was a very obvious mole on Zhao Zhongli's back, and he personally examined "Zhao Zhongli"'s body and found that "Zhao Zhongli" did not have this mole at all.

In the end, Fan Qiong captured all the people who offered Zhao Zhongli's family in the future, and then tortured them severely. After that, he followed the clues to find out Zhao Zhongli who was hiding among the beggars.

In short, in order to complete the task assigned to them by Li Cun, Wang Shiyong and others did everything possible to find out all the royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty, so that the royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty had nowhere to hide.

This incident made Li Cun see that although Wang Shiyong and others are not good at character, it is really easy to be a dog.

Li Cun considers that it is best to have talented and virtuous people under him, and he will definitely focus on using vigorous promotion, but there are so many talented and virtuous talents in this world, so only talented people, or only Those who are virtuous should use it reasonably as appropriate.

Based on this consideration, Li Cun personally praised Wang Shiyong and others, and then promoted them.

This made Wang Shiyong and others flattered and more motivated, and worked harder to catch the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Wang Shiyong and others spared no effort to serve the Dagan Dynasty, which made many people close to the Zhao Song Dynasty very angry. They said: "Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, and Fan Qiong are ministers of others, and they have the heart to send people to arrest them." The family of the country, to give gifts to enemies, greedy for life and forgetting the kindness of the country, this is the behavior of a villain!"

There are also people who would rather die than join forces with Wang Shiyong and other unscrupulous people.

Dou Jian, the original envoy of the Kaifeng Mansion, refused to obey Wang Shiyong's order. He said: "I was born as a minister of the Song Dynasty, how can I bear to hand it over to the enemy with the clan of the Song Dynasty!", and then hanged himself to death.

In short, although Li Cun has taken over Bianliang City in Tokyo and promulgated a large number of good policies to appease the people, due to the change of the two dynasties, some people's thoughts cannot be changed, the ignorant and loyal thoughts are causing trouble, and there are problems left over from history. , The royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties still had a fluke mentality and other reasons, Tokyo Bianliang City is still under high pressure.

On this day, when Wang Huiniang and the Ministry of Households inspected the Fengchun Treasury of the Zhao Song Dynasty, they followed the clues and checked all the treasures in all the public and private treasuries of the Zhao Song Dynasty, registered them, and then collected them all as the Daqian Dynasty.

During this process, Wang Huiniang and the others found out the Longde Palace where Zhao Ji used to live.

——This was actually instructed by Li Cun.

As a result, everyone was shocked, including the well-informed Wang Huiniang.

Everyone knows that Zhao Ji is extravagant, and usually likes to play with treasures and likes to collect them.

However, most people have no way of knowing what treasures Zhao Ji plays and collects, not even the Prime Minister and Yousi.

But there are no impenetrable walls in this world.

Moreover, strong fortresses are often breached from within.

After Li Cun officially went to Yanfu Palace to rest, many daughters of the royal family and clan daughters of the Zhao and Song Dynasties were favored by Li Cun in order to get close to Li Cun, and then get the chance to become a dignitary. It can be said that they did everything possible .

Such as buying people around Li Cun to recommend them, creating opportunities to meet Li Cun by chance, and showing their talents in front of Li Cun whenever they have the opportunity, are all pediatrics.

He was so ruthless that he dared to risk his beheading to attack Li Cun.

For example, Zhao Ji's Shuyi Jin Nongyu jumped on Li Cun when he was helping Li Cun take a bath.

At that time, Li Cun thought that Jin Nongyu wanted to assassinate him, and almost broke her neck.

Unexpectedly, Jin Nongyu kissed Li Cun desperately as soon as he came up, and begged Li Cun to take her back, which made Liang Hongyu, Yan Zhengu and Yizhangqing who were about to rescue him by the side dumbfounded.

In this extremely introverted situation, Zhao Ji's Zhaorong Wang Sanbaonu, Chongrong Liuxin Liu Niang, Jieyu Qiu Qiaoyun successively told Li Cun that there were mountains of treasures in Zhao Ji's Longde two palaces. Please Li Cun.

It is precisely because of this that Li Cun told Wang Huiniang to let her find a chance to visit the Longde Palace.

As a result, Wang Huiniang found in the two palaces of Longde:
420 and three catties of real pearls, 620 and three catties of jade, six hundred catties of coral, 130 catties of agate, forty catties of northern pearls, 840 Xihai Yezhu, 460 catties of cinnabar, fifteen thousand catties of crystals, Rhinoceros 120 jin, ivory 140 jin, borneol 420 jin, gold brick 120 leaves, Mr. Wang burnt gold, Chen Tuan burnt gold, Goryeo Jin Bongsheng gold, six pairs of Jiagold helmets, Jin Dian, Golden horse scoops, golden pestle knives, five sets of 350 golden zippers, [-] sets of jade zippers, flower rhinoceros belts, gold belts, gold belts, jade belts, gold-plated belts, goldfish bags, etc., [-] silver stoves, four gold stoves , one hundred and twenty gold tables, twenty silver chairs, forty gold alloys of different sizes, four gold buckets, eight hundred sets of gold plates and cups, twenty sets of gold injection bowls, uncountable gold and silver spoons, and gold soup vases Twenty pieces, [-] glass cups, [-] glass holders, [-] coral holders, [-] manao holders, [-] pearl fans, [-] red fans, and blue fans One hundred together, [-] for Xingluan fans, sixty for large fans, one hundred for fan carts...

Li Cun, who was used to seeing big scenes, got so many treasures at once, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and then he came to Longde Palace to have a look at these treasures in person.

——This is also because Longde Palace is very close to the imperial palace.

Looking at these treasures with Wang Huiniang, Li Cun sighed: "If Zhao Ji had used these treasures to recruit soldiers, develop advanced firearms, and inspire the soldiers of the Song army to fight the enemy bravely, would the Zhao Song Dynasty have a different ending? ?”

No, Wang Huiniang sneered and said: "No way. Even if he really does this, he will never be an opponent of the officials. What's more, the concubines bet that he is reluctant to hand over so many treasures."

Li Cun thought so too, if Zhao Ji could part with it, these treasures would not be here.

But Li Cun still hugged Wang Huiniang and said with a smile, "So confident in me?"

While speaking, Li Cun grabbed Wang Huiniang's buttocks, hugged Wang Huiniang, and walked towards Zhao Ji's dragon bed.

Wang Huiniang lay next to Li Cun's ear, and greeted Li Cun, wanting to refuse: "There are still so many people here."

Li Cun threw Wang Huiniang onto the dragon bed, and while taking off his dragon robe, said: "They know what to see and what not to see." Then he jumped on it...

……

These treasures of Zhao Ji, Li Cun did not allow the household department to collect them into the national treasury, but let Wang Huiniang collect them into his own small treasury.

Theoretically speaking, the Dagan Dynasty belonged to Li Cun, and the money in the treasury of the Dagan Dynasty should also belong to Li Cun.

But in fact it is not the case.

To put it more figuratively, a country is equivalent to an enterprise.

Although the emperor Li Cun was highly centralized in the enterprise of the Dagan Dynasty.

But this is nothing more than Li Cun's strong ability to control the enterprise of Daqian Dynasty, and he took the power back to himself.

In fact, the enterprise of the Dagan Dynasty belonged to all the subjects of the Dagan Dynasty.

At most, Li Cun is equivalent to the major shareholder of the Dagan Dynasty. The ministers under Li Cun are equivalent to professional managers, helping Li Cun to manage the Dagan Dynasty, and the people of the Dagan Dynasty are equivalent to the Dagan Dynasty. employees of this enterprise.

In this case, the Daqian Dynasty has made money, and it is certainly impossible for the money to go into the pocket of only one major shareholder, Li Cun.

In order for Daqian Dynasty to continue to operate and continue to grow and develop, the first profit must be the expenses of this enterprise.

Therefore, after the annual tax revenue of the Dagan Dynasty came up, it would go into the national treasury, and then everyone would discuss how to spend the money, such as where disaster relief is needed, where roads and bridges need to be built, where wars need to be fought, as well as the salaries of officials and the welfare of the people, etc. Wait, the last one left is for Li Cun.

As far as this is concerned, Li Cun can't be used to do messy things, even rewarding concubines, palace servants, servants and so on must be measured, otherwise someone will make irresponsible remarks.

Therefore, almost all emperors would build their own small treasury. For example, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, a special institution was set up to manage money for the emperor-the inner carrier warehouse, which is the inner treasury, also called inner money.

This internal money is the emperor's small treasury. The money in the internal money is controlled by the emperor himself. The ministers have no right to ask how to spend it. The money in the national treasury is the money of the big guys. Even the emperor cannot take it from the national treasury. Money into your own little coffers.

Li Cun has always had a clear understanding of this.

So, a long time ago, Li Cun got himself a small treasury to make his life easier.

After seeing the treasures collected by Zhao Ji, Li Cun went to see the cultural relics and books collected by Zhao Ji.

This surprised Li Cun again!
There are so many cultural relics in Zhao Ji's collection that it is estimated that even the Forbidden City Museum of later generations is not as good as a corner!
The key point is that many of these cultural relics are treasures that have been lost in later generations, and some of them can even rewrite people's perception of history!
At this time, Li Cun suddenly had an idea: "How about...after I die, take all these precious cultural relics into my tomb, so as not to annihilate them in the long river of history?"

What shocked Li Cun even more was that Zhao Ji had a great collection of books, even many books that have been lost to later generations, Zhao Ji actually has them here!
It's a pity that Li Cun is not very interested in cultural relics and books, otherwise Zhao Ji's cultural relics and books would be enough for Li Cun to play with for a lifetime.

suddenly!

Li Qingzhao, who likes cultural relics and books, flashed in Li Cun's mind: "If she sees these cultural relics and books, will she scream as unscrupulously as she did that night?"

After thinking about it, Li Cun suddenly wanted to see Li Qingzhao.

Therefore, Li Cun reassured himself: "After all, he gave birth to two sons for you. Now that you have entered Bianliang City, Tokyo, you have to go and see him, otherwise he will think you are a scumbag. Be ruthless."

Considering that there is no urgent matter today that needs to be handled by myself.

Li Cun decided to drive Li back home and give Li Qingzhao a surprise...

Ask for a monthly pass!
