The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 189 The New Wind in Jiangnan ([-])
As mentioned earlier, it is not easy for those who can leave their names in history in the Three Kingdoms era, especially when all kinds of orders tend to be stable.Therefore, the ministers of Soochow are actually very clear about the truth of this matter.

It is true that Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu owe money in IQ, but they have been in the central government for so many years anyway.Know how big a crime it is to plot to change the emperor at this time!Even if their IQ is not enough to see the situation clearly, you should pay attention to one thing: these two stupid pigs are also very courageous!Dissatisfied with the emperor, the family murmured that this must have happened.But the conspiracy to abolish the establishment?How could they have the guts to do such a thing?
A few letters, although the handwriting and so on are all correct.But everyone knows that the handwriting of letters in this era can be forged.Hey, it's true that we Jiangdong people are ignorant and ignorant, don't you know that the calligraphy you Zhonghui is a great calligrapher?These letters were not forged by you.As an outsider who has no foothold in Soochow and completely depends on the emperor, you definitely have the motivation to do this!
Unfortunately, although the truth is such a thing.But Pan Mi decided to cooperate with Zhong Hui and treat this matter as a major case!

Because Zhong Hui's behavior is actually a manifestation of the emperor's will.And the current emperor, at first glance, is not easy to mess with.There's no need to offend the emperor because of those two idiots that Lao Tzu has long disliked.

Late at night on the fifth day of September in AD 264, Zhongshu ordered He Shao to receive a large number of letters from unknown persons.The content of the letter is that Prime Minister Puyang Xing, Hussar General Zhang Bu and Empress Dowager Zhu colluded with each other to conspire to abolish the emperor.

At the Great Court Meeting on the tenth day of September, Tingwei Pan Mi publicly raised this matter at the Great Court Meeting.Sun Hao instructed on the spot: Thorough investigation!Thorough investigation immediately!In order to avoid suspicion, Prime Minister and General Hussars, please do not leave the palace for the time being.

On September [-]th, Secretary Pan reported: Your Majesty, a large number of letters between the Prime Minister and General Hussars and Empress Dowager Zhu were found in the mansions of the Prime Minister and General Hussars.Check the handwriting, it is completely consistent.Sun Hao instructed: Put Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu in prison for their crimes.

On September [-], a large number of courtiers wrote letters.The impeachment of Pu Yangxing, Zhang Bu's corruption and perversion of the law, selling officials and nobles, disorderly commanding, administrative inaction, etc. (these are true).Sun Haolei was furious and ordered Ting Wei to determine the guilt of the two.

On September [-]th, there was another round of court meeting.

Secretary Pan was the first to go out to report on the previous investigation: "Your Majesty, the two thieves, Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu, conspired to abolish the establishment, and the evidence is solid. According to the laws of my great Wu, these two people should wipe out the three clans!"

"Well, then Tingwei, what about these two people's corruption and bribery, and the sale of officials and nobles?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, the house should be ransacked!"

"Good. I also want to ask Ting Wei, how should the other accomplices in this case be dealt with?"

The so-called other accomplices of course refer to the underage sons of Empress Dowager Zhu and Sun Xiu.Pan Mi was stunned when he heard this: Boss, you are too dark-hearted, right?This is to exterminate the grass!
It's a pity, who let you be born in the emperor's family?Heaven is ruthless!When Sun Quan killed Sun Ba, Sun Jun killed Sun He, and Sun Xiu killed Sun Liang, is it finally time for Sun Hao to kill Sun Xiu's son?

"Uh, Your Majesty. The court lieutenant has no authority over this matter. You should ask Zongzheng." ——Your Majesty, these are your family members, so we, as courtiers, don't care.You can ask the big housekeeper of your Sun family.

Soochow's patriarch at this time was Sun Yi.The man's father was Sun Shao, a famous general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.Strictly speaking, Sun Shao's family was originally named Yu, because when Sun Ce was crossing the river, a young hero named Yu He liked Sun Ce very much, so he gave him the surname Sun.So strictly speaking, this family has no blood relationship with the Sun family.

As far as Sun Yi is concerned, this person does not have much talent.There are two main reasons for being able to achieve Zongzheng's position: old age and seniority.

So when Pan Mi kicked the ball to him, he panicked all of a sudden. Under Sun Hao's majestic gaze, the old man said indiscriminately: "The clan rebelled, beheaded!"

Well, what I want is your words.

"Hey~~~" After a long sigh, Sun Hao said, "Since I ascended the throne, I have been following the developments of Guan Zifeng in Xishu. There is one thing I think he has done very well. He only ransacked the house of corrupt officials. Do not kill people. Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu are important ministers of the late emperor. They also made a lot of contributions by assisting the late emperor in the past. How about this, these two people ransacked the house, and sent the whole family to Guangzhou."

"Your Majesty is merciful, the blessing of the Great Wu."

"As for the late emperor's widow and my brothers... my brothers are still young, so I don't think they participated in it. Excuse me, the king will keep it. And Empress Dowager Zhu, according to Zongzheng's intention, gave a piece of white silk. die!"

Your Majesty, what do I mean?Hey, the young emperor has made great progress.A month ago, he was a stunned young man who only knew how to push hard.Now when it comes to playing tricks, it's really a set of tricks.Hey, without the protection of Empress Dowager Zhu, the late emperor's sons would all die suddenly sooner or later.As for the two idiots Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu, if you are smart, kill yourself quickly on the way, or do you really think you can escape the fate of the Yi tribe?

In October 264 AD, Sun Xiuzheng's wife, Empress Dowager Zhu, was given to death.

In November, it was revealed that Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu in Guangzhou were planning to rebel, and Sun Hao sent people to kill both of them.

In December, several sons of Sun Xiu died suddenly...

So, although Sun Yi has no skills.But after all, people's experience is there.The Soochow royal family is a family that is extremely cold-blooded towards its relatives.He didn't know how much he had seen during the bloody storm. Generally speaking, the subsequent events basically didn't differ much from his speculation.

The reason why there is not much difference is that there is still a little difference.Because, strictly speaking, Zhang Bu was not completely annihilated.

His two daughters are both very beautiful.After being found out by Sun Hao, she was saved from death and brought into the harem as a concubine. (In ancient times, this kind of thing that killed a father and took him as a wife and concubine. It is not common, but it is not rare. Takeda Shingen, a famous Japanese general in the Warring States Period, did this.)
Wan Yu has an opinion on this matter.

"Shi Ji, why do you want to prevent me from admonishing His Majesty? Zhang Bu is guilty and should be punished by the family. But His Majesty brought his two daughters into the harem. Wouldn't this give the world the impression that His Majesty is lustful and shameless?"

"Brother Wen Bin, Hui stayed in Western Shu for a while last year. The study of Guan Xun was popular there. Among them, Guan Zhong's attitude towards Duke Huan, I think it is very worthwhile for our ministers to study."

"Uh, my Piling Wan clan has studied the "Book of Changes" in all dynasties, and I am not very familiar with "Guanzi", so I ask Shi Ji to enlighten me."

"Don't dare. I studied "Laozi" from the Zhong family in Yingchuan, and I don't know much about "Guanzi". But there is such a story in "Guanzi": In the past, Duke Huan of Qi asked Guanzi, saying that he was lustful, liked to drink, I like gourmet food and fancy clothes. Do these tyrants have any influence? Guan Zi said, it has no influence at all. As a monarch, you just need to assign the right people to the right positions. Other times, a monarch should have his own entertainment life. Otherwise, you have to work all day long and be a moral role model. How tiring is that? Who would want to be a monarch? So, brother Wen Bin, let's not control His Majesty too tightly. As long as His Majesty's main energy is to revitalize Da Wu Shang, let’s pretend we didn’t see other things that are a little bit out of line. In this way, it’s good for His Majesty, and good for you and me.”

"So that's how it is. Shi Ji is a great talent, not as good as Yu. I will ask Shi Ji to give me more advice in the future."

"Don't dare, brother Wen Bin. I'll finally kill those two silverfishes now. Now, it's time to make a big splash. We must help each other in the same boat."

"As it should be!"

In 265 AD, Sun Hao released a series of new personnel appointments:

Lu Kai, Mu Lukai of Jingzhou, moved to Prime Minister Zuo (Soochow respects Zuo. Prime Minister Zuo is the Prime Minister)

Sanqi often served Wan Yu and moved to the right prime minister.

Shang Shupu shoots Zhonghui and moves to Shang Shuling.

Zuo Da Sima Shiji is Jingzhou Mu (commander of Jingzhou Corps).

Martin Feng, the right chief, is stationed in Huainan (commander of Yangzhou Corps).

Tao Huang, son of Tao Ji, the former governor of Jiaozhou, served as prefect of Cangwu and general of Pingnan, responsible for quelling the rebellion in Jiaozhou that had lasted for many years.

After these officials were in place, Sun Hao issued a decree:

First, tax cuts.In addition to the original 265 taxes, the additional [-] yuan per mu of land will be deducted.Second, starting from the first year of Ganlu ([-]), the household tax and hidden population will be checked nationwide!
Since Sun Quan's death, Soochow has been sluggish and dormant for many years.Finally ushered in an extremely powerful young monarch.The atmosphere of the whole country of Soochow has changed!
