Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 325: Since it is a rebellion, I will suppress it
No matter how big a family is that can be passed down and continued, they all have a base.

That is the place where the family is located.

It can be a state, a county, a township, etc.

Through various means, they established a good reputation in the local area, set up a good family image, spread charity, and bring benefits to the local people.

Let the people praise it and be grateful for it, thus creating a transcendent image of a good family.

This transcendent image invisibly brings a positive halo effect to the family.

Not only does it have the support and support of the local people, but it also has a layer of protection from the people.

Almost all the noble families in the world use the same trick. If they don't do this, their inheritance will basically not continue.

While ensuring the local basic base, we are actively expanding to a higher level and seeking greater influence and family interests.

In an era when officials were selected and appointed based on observation and recommendation, reputation was the most important thing.

If a family cannot even maintain its reputation in the local area, how can they dare to talk about recommendation?

Even if someone wants to recommend someone, they have to consider the consequences of making a wrong recommendation.

He won't be dismissed from office, but at least the weight of his recommendation will be greatly reduced in the future.

If a recommender is criticized for not knowing people well and making recommendations without careful consideration, then everyone he recommended in the past or in the future will be questioned.

This will bring about a series of chain reactions that are unimaginable and will not be worth the cost.

No one would make such a joke with his own reputation and the future of the person being recommended.

Therefore, we can see that those who are recommended are generally those who have a good reputation in the local area. You can be filial, have outstanding talents, and be humble.

But there must be absolutely no evil behavior.

Of course, are the aristocratic families really so famous and well-respected?

Naturally impossible.

How can such a huge family business be maintained by reputation alone?

It’s just that they have their own white gloves, and they are the ones who do all the dirty work.

In the end, the white gloves are not clean and you will be stained with black spots, ruining your reputation.

He immediately abandoned the pawn to save the driver, and stood up and said that he didn't know and that he did it on his own, and then got rid of the person to silence him.

Not only can you avoid a reputation crisis, but you can also gain a wave of praise.

It can be said that you will never lose.

This sounds like the emperor orders someone to do something, and that person does something uncleanly, causing criticism from all over the world. Then the emperor realizes his mistake in time and executes him with thundering means to appease the people of the world.

The positive image is his own, the mistakes are his.

……

The Qizhou family would never go so far as to manipulate public opinion and block the government.

However, they didn't have time to deal with Xu Man, and he fell into Fang Qian's hands, which led to a series of unmanageable events.

In the end, they had no choice but to burn down the state platform to make the matter a big deal.

Now the Prince of Jin, the Prince of Jiangxia, and the Minister of Taxation have arrived.

They had to rely on the reputation they had accumulated locally, take advantage of the court's unfair treatment, disregard for national laws, and harm honest and kind families to incite the people who were unaware of the inside story and put pressure on the court.

After all, in the eyes of the Qizhou family, the King of Jin and the King of Jiangxia must at least take public opinion into consideration and avoid causing a civil uprising.

Can they afford to be offended if there is a civil unrest?

"Your Highness, what should I do?"

Li Dao Zong asked in a more relaxed tone: "In the five counties below, the people are gathering to obstruct us and blocking our people from leaving the government office."

He knew how to deal with it, he just had to listen to Li Zhi's instructions.

Li Zhi was wearing a cloak and looking at the falling snow. "It's another heavy snow this winter."

"Next year will definitely be another bumper year."

Li Dao Zong smiled and said, "Yes, our Tang Dynasty has had bumper harvests year after year, and the national treasury has accumulated countless money and grain."

"The prosperous times are not far away."

Li Zhi shrugged his shoulders, pulled his cloak, and said, "But there are always people who don't know what they are talking about and try to become a stumbling block to creating a prosperous era."

"The mantis is blocking the car with his arms, and he is overestimating his own capabilities!"

He sneered and asked, "How is Minister Xu?"

"He is checking the local population and land." Li Dao Zong said, "Minister Xu is really capable. He almost never stops."

"I heard that he encountered resistance from several families and was suppressed on the spot by the tax collectors from the tax department."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Since Minister Xu is making good progress."

"Then there is no need for us to hesitate."

"Uncle Wang, please take two thousand soldiers with you to each county and bring back all the criminal officials."

Li Dao Zong said: "Why two thousand? One thousand is enough."

"I originally wanted you to transfer 3,000 soldiers, but Wang Jingzhi is on the way, and he still has 2,000 soldiers under his command." Li Zhi said calmly: "Four thousand soldiers, all in armor."

He turned and walked towards the house, saying, "Anyone who dares to obstruct the court's work will be arrested, regardless of whether the people know about it or not."

"We are short of manpower. Uncle Wang, please report in time. I will ask Minister Xu's tax collectors to go out."

Li Dao Zong followed behind him and said, "If there is a civil unrest..."

"Then put down the rebellion!"

Li Zhi said contemptuously: "Can a Qizhou city really turn the world upside down?"

My brother said, don’t ask about the process, just the result.

Then he won't be lenient at all.

Want to use possible civil unrest to suppress him?
Is he still afraid?

It just so happened that I had never been criticized by the officials in the court, so this time I took the opportunity to be criticized.

It would also be good for my father and brother to see his abilities.

When there is a war to fight, he will be given priority.

How could the fifth brother go to Tibet, the Northeast?

Isn't it just that he is older than me?

Now that he has grown up, it is his turn.

……

Changqing County.

The entrance to the government office was crowded with people.

The government soldiers were guarding the gate of the government office, while the officials outside seemed very lax.

There were three layers of people surrounding it outside.

"The magistrate is from our Changqing County. He loves the people like his own children and cares deeply about them. He was arrested just because the imperial court ordered him to do so."

"Have you asked the people of Changqing?"

"We must not let the court take the county magistrate away like this. They will definitely frame him when the time comes." Some people among the people clamored. The people were very excited under this instigation.

He frequently tried to offend the government.

The magistrate of Changqing County stood behind the government gate and cried out in tears: "Fellow villagers, please go back."

"This is an order from the court. Don't go against the court."

"I know your intentions, and you must trust the court and the Holy Emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people became even more excited.

"We don't agree to that."

"Why can the county magistrate, who is such a good official, arrest people just like that?"

"It's time to give our Changqing County an explanation."

"That's right. There is no reason at all. They want to arrest the county magistrate. The county magistrate has done so many good things for us."

"It's fine to arrest other people, but you can't arrest the county magistrate."

"Justice, is there still justice in the world? Is the court so unreasonable?"

The captain of the palace soldiers beside the Changqing County Magistrate was quite amused.

He even got to act in it.

What's the point of acting for me?

I can't make the decision.

Blind for nothing!

"reason!"

"justice?"

"What justice do you want?"

There was a burst of dense footsteps, with a huge momentum.

Turning around, I saw a man riding a tall warhorse.

Li Dao Zong said calmly: "Pass my order to block some street intersections."

"Surround them all."

The soldiers shouted, "Yes!"

Immediately.

Countless soldiers acted quickly and surrounded the government office.

When the people saw the armored soldiers, they immediately became chaotic.

They besieged the government office and dared to fight against a group of soldiers with the leadership of someone else.

Who would dare to face those shining swords, spears, bows and crossbows?
"Changqing County Magistrate, why are you silent now?"

The captain teased, "Don't you like talking?"

The Changqing County Magistrate was already dumbfounded.

Who could have imagined that the pressure on the government would be met with an overwhelming army?

Imperial Court, are you serious?

"I, Yi Hu, greet your Highness."

Yi Hu ran up to Li Daozon and saluted respectfully.

Li Dao Zong said: "Well, call me the Grand Commander outside."

"It's the Grand Commander!"

“Yi Hu, who is inciting the people?”

Li Daozon pulled his warhorse and walked back and forth outside the encirclement, scanning the people.

"Grand Commander, there are more than a dozen of them. I have noted them all down."

"very good."

Li Dao Zong said calmly: "Bring people to capture him and behead him on the spot!"

"Yes!"

Yi Hu led his men into the crowd. The instigators were still shouting, but the people had already become docile when they saw the large number of troops.

Who would dare to fart when being pointed at by a crossbow?

Soon, more than a dozen people were pulled out.

Immediately, he was pressed to the ground and beheaded in public under the gaze of countless people.

"I am Li Daozong, the King of Jiangxia and the Grand Commander of the Imperial Army."

"You have gathered a crowd to besiege the government and resist the imperial court. This is a heinous crime and you shall not be punished."

Li Dao Zong shouted, "I will give you a chance. Disperse immediately and I will forgive you for what happened."

"Otherwise, don't worry about the blind arrows of my men."

The people looked at each other in bewilderment, and countless people began to consider retreating.

At this time, an old man leaned on a cane and said tremblingly: "May I ask the Grand Commander, what crime did the Changqing County Magistrate commit? Why was he arrested for no reason?"

"The magistrate of Changqing County has done countless good things for the people of Changqing County."

"The court cannot treat such a good official well."

The people seemed to have found their backbone and began to speak in a few words.

Li Dao Zong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I said I'll give you a chance."

"Are you sure you don't cherish it?"

"A huge fire broke out at the Qizhou Prefecture Office, killing more than a dozen imperial officials, including the imperial angel."

"The Holy Emperor has issued an edict, and the Crown Prince has issued an order, ordering His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to investigate the Qizhou case with me."

"You are obstructing and pleading for the offending official, which is tantamount to treason."

He raised his hand as he spoke, and the soldiers adjusted their bows and crossbows.

"Since it is a rebellion, I will suppress it!"

As soon as he said this, the Changqing County Magistrate collapsed to the ground.

The people were also in complete chaos.

Treason?
how is this possible.

We did not commit treason.

They fled in a hurry, and everyone could see that King Jiangxia's hand had fallen.

There will be a river of blood here.

To suppress a rebellion, the number of people does not matter.

Kill as many as you can, and it will all be their military merit!
