Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 302

Du Chongwei and Wang Su defended Wannian County with more than [-] troops against Li Maozhen's [-] army, protecting the [-] people in the city from being slaughtered.

The data is a bit exaggerated. The thing is like this. Let me write more close-ups. In order to protect the people, I was stabbed three times. In order to save the people, I saved three days of military rations. In order to block the enemy's cavalry, I led a death squad to rush and cut off the horse's legs. .

Live examples one after another, this is the Zuo Yulin Army taught by His Majesty the Emperor himself, always putting the people first.

As for who Li Maozhen is, he is an envoy of a feudal town, and he should take a good rest for how bad this person is.

Zhu Zhen was also on the list, from how she resented the debauchery and tyranny of the generals under Zhu Wen, the military envoy of Xuanwu, to yearning for the imperial court, returning to the emperor's command, and performing meritorious deeds for the imperial court.

There are also Fu Cunshen and Zhu Yezinu. As a branch of the Hedong Army, Li Ye thought about it and crossed out Zhu Yezinu, and Fu Cunshen also crossed out Hedong's background in the army.

In the Battle of Bozhou, Fu Cunshen broke the army and killed the enemy, and in the Battle of Xuanwu, he was the main force in the army and performed meritorious service.

If these three people want to create a biography, the army they belong to should also publicize it.

As for corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, that will be another chapter. As for who, let those imperial scholars look for it.

His Majesty's meritorious deeds must be the most important thing, Li Ye is not thin-skinned, starting from a child, let them know the great achievements of the emperor.

As for the feudal towns, there have been many great books about the rebellion and harm to the people of the feudal towns in the past dynasties, and they have been picked up one by one to see the light.

There are only two subjects taught in Mongolian studies, one is Chinese studies, and the other is mathematics.

The selected part of Chinese studies is excerpted from classics and history, as well as the above-mentioned biographies, plus some poems and songs.

The whole set consists of three volumes, a fusion of hodgepodge, and the four lines of Hengqu are added on the title page, which immediately fills the frame.

"Set up your mind for the heaven and the earth, set up your life for the people, set up a legacy for the sages of the past, and create peace for all generations."

His Majesty the Emperor personally wrote the preface, wishing the children to set up lofty ideals, take the four maxims as their own responsibility, and study hard.

Selected texts, proofreading, final edition.

When the sample book was placed in front of the princes of the court, they were all silent.

Stand up for heaven and earth,
Live for the people,
In order to continue to learn from the saints,

Peace for the world.

Du Rangneng's words were calm and intense, such majestic and deafening words, who spoke them?
"I wrote it!"

Jingxiang said: "Your Majesty's holy words, I will go wherever you go!"

Shi Pu also sighed, no matter how much he didn't understand, he could still see the shock brought by these few lines of words.

But seeing below, the faces of several people are unnatural.

In order to continue the unique learning of the Saint, where did the Saint go?Just a piece of The Analects of Confucius to encourage learning?
There is also a three-character scripture.

At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, habits are far away

……

It is an enlightened majestic essay, catchy, covering time, geography, and all-encompassing.

Du Rang could think, what would happen if Kong Wei saw it?
Jing Xiang was not a pure guardian of Confucianism and Taoism. Although the emperor did not oppose Confucianism, he always felt something was wrong.

It was now November.

After half a year of investigation by Yushan's personal guards, as well as the household registers of land and acres handed in from all over the country, an unprecedented anti-corruption campaign started.

Supervised by the Yushitai, presided over by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Yushan's personal guards provided evidence and clues, and no one was left behind.

All armies and city defense envoys in the jurisdiction sent out guards.

The theme is Tianmu's greed for ink.

What is different from the past is that all localities handle it in the form of public trial.

Outside the city of Bozhou, a public trial platform has been set up. Thousands of people are watching, and dozens of criminals are kneeling under the platform.

"Wang Wanhong, you were originally a commoner, and the bandit Zhu Wen promoted you to be the official of Bozhou. After the recovery of Bozhou, the imperial court granted you an official position with the intention of comforting all the people, but you didn't want to be grateful. You were greedy for more than [-] acres of fertile land. plead guilty!"

"Forgive me, envoy, please forgive me, all superiors."

There was a stack of deeds in front of him, and it was useless for him to deny it!
As the saying goes, one person gains the Tao, immortals and chickens and dogs. In addition to the fields distributed by the court, Wang Wanhong also filled the bowls of those relatives and friends one by one. These people occupy a huge amount of resources. the best.

What makes people even more angry is that Wang Wanhong secretly colluded with the county magistrate to convert two thousand acres of high-grade farmland into [-] acres of low-grade farmland, and the taxes on the fields were also paid as low-grade farmland.

"The imperial court decreed that if more than [-] mu of ink was embezzled, beheaded, fined and confiscated family property, women's family members would enter the Ye court, and males would be enslaved.

Those who embezzle more than [-] acres will be ordered to withdraw from the land, their family property will be confiscated, and their public offices will be confiscated. Those who embezzle more than [-] acres will be withdrawn from the land, demoted and retained, and will be fined. If there is a next offense, they will be punished for several crimes. Those who commit less than [-] acres will be dismissed from the land. , fined for three years, if there is a next time, he will be punished for several crimes!

Wang Wanhong, you are greedy for [-] mu of fertile farmland. The evidence is conclusive. According to the law, you should be beheaded, your property should be confiscated, your female relatives should be sent to the court, and the males should be slaves. "

Upon hearing the verdict, Wang Wanhong, who was kneeling under the stage, instantly collapsed to the ground, without even the strength to beg for mercy.

The common people below cheered and threw clods at these criminals one by one. Several months of enlightenment still yielded results. Many people have heard that all the suffering is caused by these corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry. And those lawless Jiedushi.

"Come on!"

Two sergeants stepped forward in response and said, "Here!"

"Drag Wang Wanhong to the execution ground and behead him!"

"promise!"

Some people went to watch the execution, while others stayed to watch the criminals below.

The execution ground was not far to the southeast. The executioner stabbed down, the head was separated, and a bloody arrow shot out.

I don’t know who it was, but shouted, “Long live your Majesty!”

"Long live Your Majesty!"

An old man said with tears in his eyes: "I have lived for 60 years, and I have never seen a tax so low, and I have never seen a time when I can eat enough. Hey, I used to want to die, die early and live well, I don't want to die now, I never thought that my old man would still be able to eat imperial food!"

"Old man, why are you eating the emperor's food? Are you an official too?"

"As an official, the old man, I have been planting all my life. Now that I am old, His Majesty has a will. Like the old man, who is over sixty years old and can still move. Send out grain and meat. Isn't this the emperor's food?"

"Yes, it's imperial food, and meat!" The man licked his lips.

Although the imperial court did not distribute much, half a catty of meat and five catties of rice, it made people happy!
"If it weren't for these dog officials who deceived the emperor, how could we have lived these miserable days."

"Yeah, kill all these people, and have a better life in the future!"

"Yes!"

Scenes like this happened all over the place. The public trial was a new thing, and everyone was excited. No matter how unwilling the officials of Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment were, under the protection of Yushan's personal guards and the emperor's inner prison, they still proceeded in an orderly manner.
