Chapter 220 The Proposal to Move the Town
When Liu Chengyou finished his question, Li Tao immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, with such a severe punishment, I am afraid that it will harm the peace of heaven and go against the virtue of the emperor. I am afraid that it will be disappointing. The death penalty imposed on white clothes is still vicious. Besides, Yu Gongqing and Minister, please forgive me lightly, Your Majesty."

Looking at Li Tao, Liu Chengyou's eyes flashed with contemplation. Before he could speak, Yang Bin scolded: "When the country was first established, it is time to use severe punishments and strict laws to deter the lawless and secure the world! As a minister of the imperial court, Su Fengji is a Temples don't want to obey the public and abide by the law. They just think that others are an example. Instead, they break the law and discipline, commit evil deeds, and abuse the people. Such evil officials, if they don't deal with them strictly, to protect the country's laws and uphold their prestige, why is the court so popular? ?”

After Yang Bin's words fell, Liu Chengyou clearly saw that the faces of the ministers present all changed more or less.Yang Bin, this looks like he is going to put Su Fengji to death.

The scene was quiet for a while, but Liu Chengyou looked more peaceful, and his eyes wandered for a while.

"Your Majesty, Su Fengji is naturally guilty of a heinous crime and should be dealt with according to the laws of the country. However, he is an important minister of the country after all. He has served the late emperor for many years. He was established by a great man and has meritorious deeds. If you think about his previous achievements, your majesty may pardon the punishment for a while. Life is not exempt from the crime, but also to show His Majesty's benevolence." This time it was Su Yugui who stood up.

First, Li Tao, and then Su Yugui, all pleaded for Su Fengji's disposal at this time. You must know that the relationship between the second minister and Su Fengji is not good on weekdays, especially Su Yugui, in the early days of Liu Zhiyuan's entry into the Central Plains. There are many discords.

He glanced at the others and asked their opinion.

"The minister seconded the proposal." As a result, there was a voice of seconding the proposal.

"You are trying to disregard sinners and disrupt the law for personal gain!" At this time, Yang Bin, like a single minister, was angry in court.

Su Yugui smiled like a good old man, and responded respectfully: "Mr. Yang, since he was punished, the law of the country is only a question of the severity of the punishment. Why do you talk about favoritism? What I have discussed is just to show your majesty's benevolence and forgiveness." just heart"

"You are so clever and sophistry!" Yang Bin stared at him coldly.

"Okay! Gentlemen, there is no need to argue!" Liu Chengyou finally spoke, pretending to think for a while, and then ordered indifferently: "Remember his past achievements, I will reduce the sentence and punishment as appropriate, dismiss all the titles of Su Fengji, and demote Su Fengji. As a common man, he was exiled to Jingyuan to raise horses, and all the money, food, and goods he collected were confiscated to the national treasury, and all his descendants were dismissed from office and sent to exile, and within three generations, they will never be used!"

After Liu Chengyou's words fell, the chancellors in the palace couldn't help feeling chills in their hearts. This kind of treatment was even more ruthless than killing Su Fengji directly.Especially the last point, which almost cut off the way for the descendants of the Su family to make progress.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yang Bin was the first to voice his support.

Immediately afterwards, the others didn't say anything more, after all, Liu Chengyou had already accepted him.In fact, Liu Chengyou basically saw why these people were so active in pleading for Su Fengji in the final disposition.As the prime minister, Su Fengji's incident happened, if his death sentence came before him, it would be a bad start for them.

You know, the gentlemen present, how can the bottom of their buttocks be clean.Especially Su Yugui, although he has long restrained himself from being "good", he has also accounted for several of the things Su Fengji committed.It would be bad if the Son of Heaven settles accounts after autumn.

It's just that the result after begging for mercy is really unsatisfactory.It is even more disappointing to cause disaster to future generations.

The matter of Su Fengji came to an end in this weird atmosphere.Liu Chengyou took advantage of the situation and said: "Since Su Fengji is done, he can promote one person among the government officials and bureaucrats to supplement the political affairs hall. Can all the ministers choose someone?"

Regarding personnel matters, especially the appointment and dismissal involving real and powerful positions, Liu Chengyou always consulted with the ministers and acted like he was in control, and it was the same this time.However, just before that, for a while, there was no one to choose.

According to the thinking of Yang Bin and others, the fewer the number of chancellors, the better. After Su Fengji left, it would not be very active to mention someone to divide the power.

Soon, the topic deviated from the proposal of adding ministers to the relocation of Jiezhen.

"Your Majesty, Suiyang has reported that Shi Hongzhao, who stayed behind in Xijing, took charge of the township general Yang Yi, etc., and made troubles in Songzhou. He gathered swords and carves, and did everything. People's University is suffering from it, and they dare not speak their anger! Songzhou is a county in Jinji, and if the imperial court does not rectify it, it will cause great loss of people's hearts." Yang Bing asked: "I think that we should focus on Songzhou as soon as possible and eliminate it. The group is small, return peace and order."

This is another disaster caused by Shi Hongzhao.Prior to this, Shi Hongzhao was concurrently leading the Jiedu envoy of the German army, and Yang Yi, who wrote his part, went to the mansion to check the place for him.But things gather like creatures and people are divided into groups. These trilogy by Shi Hongzhao are also greedy and violent, and they are a disaster.Even if Yang Bin doesn't mention it, Liu Chengyou still has the heart of rectification.

The gangster who has been working all night does not care too much about Liu Chengyou, but his expression is serious, as if he is thinking about some important decision.He raised his eyes and looked at several ministers: "It's time to make another adjustment to the local festivals."

Moving the town is the basic operation of the central government to suppress Fangzhen Jiedu. Of course, this is a way to treat the symptoms, not the root cause.The disadvantage of Fangzhen lies in the fact that the local authority is too heavy.

However, under the circumstances that it is impossible to achieve the system to subdue the local area overnight, it is barely a good practice to make the towns relocate and adjust each other to avoid their deep-rooted influence in the local area.For three generations, every dynasty and every year, they have been doing this.

Last year, when the Great Han Dynasty was first established, Liu Zhiyuan had already made a replacement for the Central Plains, Hebei, and Guanyou.

This time, Liu Chengyou obviously moved his mind.However, beyond his expectation, he was opposed by the officials.But this time, even Guo Wei dissuaded Liu Chengyou.Although there are many reasons, there is only one core point. At this time, the big man is still in a difficult situation and cannot move rashly.

In consultation with Wei Renpu, Liu Chengyou's most trusted minister, Wei Renpu only made suggestions to Liu Chengyou very clearly.It is not too late to deal with Li Shouzhen in Hezhong, establish the majesty of the court, and then adjust Fangzheng.

It is rare to see that the ministers have a unified understanding, and Liu Chengyou accepts advice humbly and does not insist on going his own way.

For the appointment of the Jiedu Envoy of the Guide Army, Liu Chengyou finally selected Zhang Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was the minister who had been favored by Liu Chengyou for "refuting the theory of amnesty".With this king's township in Songzhou, it can be regarded as the opening of the Han Dynasty and the first of its kind for civil servants to save places.

Counting the various Jiedus throughout the Han Dynasty, there are differences in ability and virtue, but they are all military officials.This is already the late period of the "Five Dynasties", and this is still the case. If you think about it, it is really abnormal.

　The weekend is really busy, and the second update is estimated to not start coding until 21:00.
