Chapter 288: The Jackal Reigns


Leaving Shangshutai, Ren Hong pondered what Huo Guang's last sentence meant.Speaking of which, although Shangguan Ji started with an umbrella and raising horses for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he also had military merits, and he had followed the second division general Li Guangli to conquer Dawan, and he was a man who had seen the exotic customs west of the Green Ridge.He later served as the cavalry captain Ping Ma Tong and Ma Ho Luo's rebellion, which was Huo Guang's family plus an alliance, the two were extremely dear at first, and ruled together after the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.It's just that after the wings of the Shangguan clan were stiff, he wanted to fly solo, and first sent Empress Shangguan into the palace to slowly control the emperor, and after seeing Liu Fuling's extreme trust in Huo Guang, he planned to start a new stove and collude with Huo Guang's political opponent Sang Hongyang, not only to assassinate Huo Guang, but also to push Liu Dan, the king of Yan, to power in an attempt to change the power structure."

Didn't he imply that I want to put the weight on the next Son of Heaven?"

Ren Hong had to think about it, Huo Guang had already seen through his plan?

The arrangements have been arranged, whether Liu He can be the emperor for 27 days Ren Hong no longer cares, it seems that after the funeral of Emperor Xiaozhao, he has to go to Liangzhou to recruit troops and sneak out for a while.Just thinking about it, there was a commotion outside the car, and when I looked up, they had left Weiyang Palace, and on the way to Dasi Nong's Mansion, when they passed by the entrance of the East Market, they saw that it was crowded with people.Dongshi is the place where the Han family kills people, and Chao Cuo was beheaded in this court, but he generally has to be executed in autumn and winter, and before the autumn is decided, why do you want to kill?

As soon as people inquired, they found out that instead of killing those Confucian scholars who took the blame for Emperor Xiaozhao's death, they had embarked on a long journey with shackles on their shoulders last month to spread the light of Ming in the Western Regions.Nor is it to be killed, and the sin of peace is not to death, but only to be thrown into the county prison to suffer.Today, an exception was made, but Zhao Guanghan, who was appointed as "Shoujing Zhaoyin" because of his outstanding performance in the Canglongque incident, wanted to establish his authority here.Lu Jiuyu, who helped Ren Hong run the incense shop and was responsible for the purchase of tea in Shuzhong, was also watching the excitement here, and came over to make a fuss after seeing Ren Hong, informing him of the cause and effect."

It's not because of the trouble caused by Xiuping Mausoleum."

Pingling is the mausoleum of Liu Fuling, from his succession to the throne soon after the repair, but the filial piety of the Emperor Zhao lightly dismissed the thin endowment, nothing to amnesty the prisoners, reduce the forced labor, the mausoleum is also simple, so the repair of three days and two days of rest, until he suddenly died has not been completed.The emperor was suddenly gone, and the construction period of Pingling suddenly became tense, this is a big project, and naturally oil and water are indispensable."

Xinfeng Du Jian, does the prince know?"

Ren Hong shook his head, and Lu Jiuyu said: "Although Du Jianguan is not big, he is an old official, and he has friends with the Zhonghuangmen of Shangshutai in the palace, and he is a famous figure in the circle of heroes in Chang'an, and this person takes advantage of his position to be corrupt. ”For Emperor Xiaozhao to build a mausoleum to seal the soil, a large amount of sand and soil should be used to rent a folk ox cart.Jing Zhao Peng Du Jian is responsible for renting a car, Lasha soil must be profitable, Chang'an nine cities car car rental businessmen have to compete, Du Jian sold a quota, a quota of 100,000 yuan, sold 30, 3 million easy to earn.Lu Jiuyu smacked his lips and said: "I sell spices for the prince, and the net profit for half a year is only this amount, and the soldiers of Biansai are born and die, and they can only get three million by beheading eight or nine Qiang people, these officials, the money is so easy, phew!"

”"After this matter was discovered, Zhao Zidu, who temporarily replaced Jing Zhaoyin, warned Du Jian and asked him to return the stolen money, but Du Jian only promised in front of him, and he did not repent behind his back, so he was arrested by Jing Zhaoyin."

Isn't this the groundbreaking on Tai Sui's head?

Ren Hong's head: "Dare to make a profit in the mausoleum of the Son of Heaven, you really deserve to die, why should you be executed in advance?"

”Lu Jiuyu said: "There are too many people who are begging for mercy, and before they are in prison, the people who begged for mercy for Du Jian broke Zhao Jingzhao's house, including the Yellow Gate in the palace, the famous and powerful, and there are also officials." ”"However, Zhao Jingzhao refused to see the guest, and Du Jian's clansmen were angry and angry, and they came out and said that they wanted to rob the prison!"

Although it is a bit exaggerated, this is indeed the custom of Chang'an Wuling, immigrants from all over the world gather here, the family is courteous, the rich are businessmen for profit, and the heroes are rangers and adultery, all of them have backgrounds, and it is extremely difficult to manage, so the successive Jingzhao Yin are officials who are avoided by everyone, plus there is also turmoil in public security during the national funeral, Zhao Guanghan is in danger.Lu Jiuyu said: "Zhao Jingzhao didn't know what method he used, but he knew the identity of the residence of the mastermind of Du Jianmen, and directly sent a small official to tell them that if they dare to do so, they will destroy the Ru family!"

”This scare really worked, today Du Jian asked in advance, the crowd of onlookers was blocked, which may be really mixed with some Du Jian's Menke people, but no one dared to come forward, that Du Jian looked very ordinary An old man, when he was escorted up to ask for beheading, he had no fear, just laughed and said: "What a good annihilation Jingzhao, but Zhao Guanghan, do you really think that if I die, the sky in Chang'an will be clear?"

The jackal dwells above the temple, and you and the others claim to be followers, but they catch foxes who are collecting food in the wild!

Jingzhao Yin Zhao Guanghan was wearing a piggy crown today, dressed in black, and pointed at Du Jian when he heard the words: "You are greedy for three million dollars, which is equivalent to the property of thirty middle families, this is also considered to be picked up?"

Du Jian, it's still too late for you to summon the jackals. ”Du Jian's hands and feet were covered with scars, obviously tortured, but he laughed: "Don't say it, only I will die, if I say it, my family will be a clan!"

What's more, even if I say it, will you dare to arrest it?

”After closing his eyes and saying nothing, lying on the ground waiting for death, Zhao Guanghan sighed, waved his hand, raised the axe, and cut off his head.The people applauded as usual, and his body was abandoned in the city for three days, and there was no one who dared to approach Du Jianyu.Ren Hong watched the whole process, Shoujing Zhao Yin and Zhao Guanghan did have a righteous face, but what did Du Jian mean by leaving before he died?

Ren Hong shook his head, the water in Chang'an was deep and muddy, even if it was him, he could only see a small part of it clearly.Leaving Dongshi and arriving at Dasi Nong's Mansion, Ren Hong came here, but he wanted to discuss logistics and supplies with Tian Yannian.He led the partial division of the cavalry captain, and he had to go to the four counties of Hexi to recruit troops, and manage the Xiaoyue clan's righteous cavalry, with almost 5,000 soldiers.Ren Hong calculated the account: a person has at least one stone of grain a month, and a horse has four stone of cocoon a month, which is 5,000 stone of grain and 20,000 stone of cocoon a month.They were stationed in Jiuquan as the vanguard, and there were still a few months before the actual war began, which added up to a huge amount of expenses.After the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was in Zhangye and Jiuquan Tuntian, and the field pawns had to pay a considerable amount of land rent to the official.The grain rented from the fields was filled into the warehouse and used as rations for the passing missions and armies.The affairs of Tuntian are under the jurisdiction of the agricultural governors of each county, and the main Tuntian cultivates valleys and is subordinate to Dasi Nong."

My men and horses will never go hungry!"

Because Ren Hong once offered the quyuan plow, Tian Yannian had a good relationship with Ren Hong, and the horseshoe he drummed out, in addition to being used in the army, was widely made into cattle hooves and donkey hooves, which could also greatly reduce the injuries and illnesses of livestock.After the two discussed the matter of military rations, Ren Hong mentioned that Du Jian's corruption in Dongshikou was killed for the Pingling Project, and Tian Yannian applauded."

The Pingling construction period is in a hurry, which gives them the opportunity to take the opportunity to be corrupt, and kill well!""

The first emperor left too suddenly, and he was removed too often because of the Canglong Que incident, and the mausoleum fell on my shoulders, but I was sad that my hair turned white."

Tian Yannian's original chubby figure has indeed lost weight these days, he performed equally well when Xiaozhao died, Du Yannian, including Du Yannian, he was outside, stabilized the overall situation, and deserved to be the general's right-hand man.Tian Yannian said: "Although the first emperor has never wanted Pingling to be tall and extravagant, he only wishes that future generations will sweep the floor and sacrifice, the stone coffin is one zhang and two feet wide, two feet and five feet long, and it is impossible to afford the tomb."

The northeast of the mausoleum is a house, three feet long and five steps, the outside is a small kitchen, and it is enough to wish the ancestral hall, but after all, it is the tomb of the Son of Heaven, and the mountain tomb still has to afford.In order to speed up the construction period, only the sand of the canal was pulled from the Weihe beach under the bridge, and 30,000 ox carts were hired, which shows the magnitude of the mausoleum project. ”He said angrily: "It's already busy, but Du Jian and other big rats still want to profit from it, it's really annoying to me." ”Tian Yannian told Ren Hong that not only Du Jian, a corrupt official who took advantage of his position, but also some wealthy businessmen, suddenly heard that the Son of Heaven had died, so they immediately hoarded timber and reeds and other things necessary for the construction of the mausoleum."

You want to sell it to me for several times the price, heh, how can I be so easy to bully?

directly participated in the Jia clan of the Jiao clan in Namaoling, and confiscated all the timber and reeds they had hoarded, making them lose all their money. ”Tian Yannian was quite complacent about this, thinking that it was to save a lot of money for the imperial court, and squinted his eyes and said: "Although Sang Hongyang and the general do not agree on politics, some things are also reasonable. ”Although Sang Hongyang was born in a family of merchants, he was also the most ruthless to the merchants, and he almost scraped off a layer of skin from the world's big guys, and the official camp of salt and iron wine almost cut off the lifeblood of the Kanto giants.In recent years, Dahan's control over commerce has indeed been relaxed a lot, the market has become more prosperous than in the past, and a new batch of tens of millions of wealthy businessmen have gradually emerged.But no matter how profitable a businessman is, he can't earn as fast as a corrupt official like Du Jian.Until Ren Hong said goodbye, Tian Yannian did not forget to advise: "When Daoyuan is stationed in Jiuquan, it is indispensable to open a military market, and he must have more eyes, don't fall for the businessmen." ”"Thank you Dasi Nong for the reminder."

After Ren Hongyuan went, Tian Yannian's smile gradually disappeared, and he returned to Dasi Nong's Mansion with his hands behind his back, and after closing the door, he threw a bamboo account book handed over by his cronies into a charcoal basin and burned it into ashes. ”Everyone only knows that Du Jian received bribes and got 3 million yuan, but they don't know that Tian Yannian actually reported a full 60 million in the account of the project that cost 30 million to seal the soil!

I'm afraid that even Zhao Guanghan couldn't have imagined that the chief official in charge of the Pingling Project, the big Sinong who controls the world's money, grain, and fields, and the official who the general trusts extremely much, are actually the "jackals" who live in the temple."

Du Jian, Du Jian, I originally promised to keep your wife and children, but now, I'm afraid I can't keep my promise."

Tian Yannian closed his eyes and remembered that when he first planned this matter with Du Jian, he had a somewhat apprehensive face."

Dasi Nong, can the Son of Heaven be greedy for money?""

Son of Heaven?

Whether it is the so-called Emperor Xiaozhao or the current one, he is just a child who can be replaced at any time. ”Tian Yannian opened his eyes, without the slightest respect, and sneered: "I, Tian Yannian, only recognize one lord, and that is the general!"

”PS: The funeral of Emperor Zhao, the great priest of the farmer's car, prolonged the years of fraud and increased his integrity, and stole 30 million money.Hanshu.
