Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 1018 Dig a big pit and invite you into the urn

Chapter [-] Dig a Big Pit and Please Enter the Urn

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been a great general who has been particularly famous, not because of his achievements, but because he is a wonderful person.He has been defeated in every battle, but he is always prosperous. It is Ren Guogong, the general of the left guard Liu Hongji.

As early as the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Hongji was like a divine help. Whether it was in the battle of Huoyi, beheading Song Laosheng, rushing across the Yellow River, galloping into Guanzhong, and showing off his might outside the Jinguangmen in Chang'an, Liu Hongji was remarkable.However, when Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Hongji seemed to be a different person, and he was bound to lose in every battle.

In the first year of Wude, Li Shimin accompanied Li Shimin to battle in Qianshuiyuan. As one of the eight generals of the marching army, Liu Hongji was captured by Xue Ju. He was not released until the Western Qin Dynasty fell.

In the second year of Wude, Liu Wu Zhou's general Song Jingang captured Taiyuan, and Liu Hongji was ordered to station troops in Jinzhou.Song Jingang entered Jinzhou.Liu Hongji was captured by the enemy again, and soon fled back to Chang'an, where he was awarded the title of Chief Zuoyi.

Of course, Liu Hongji fought with Li Shimin in Hebei, was defeated by Xia Jun, fled back to Chang'an alone, and threw Li Shentong to Dou Jiande.

Ordinarily, such a general who has been defeated in all battles should be the shame of the Tang army, but the most powerful thing about him is that he holds [-] soldiers in the left guard and is stationed in the Taiji Palace, but he sits and watches Li Shimin kill Li Jiancheng and imprison Li Yuan.In fact, with the [-] elite troops in his hands, Li Shimin's thousands of troops could not enter the Xuanwu Gate at all. Is it true that the [-] troops of the left and right guards are all blind?But Liu Hongji is Li Shimin's man at all.

If Liu Hongji hadn't sold Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin would never have succeeded.

In this time and space, Liu Hongji no longer has the merits of being a dragon. When Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, he moved Liu Hongji from the position of the general of the left guard to the position of Wei Weiqing.

Although Wei Weiqing is one of the nine temples of the five supervisors of the nine temples of the Tang Dynasty, he is in charge of equipment and cultural relics, and the three departments of the general arsenal, weapons, and palace guards.Those who enter the weapons are all based on their names.For sacrificial ceremonies and ceremonies, Yuyi, Jieyue, golden drums, curtains and banquets are offered.Those who serve as palace guards should read it again at the age of one, and if there is a hole, they will study it in the Shaofu.

However, by the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Wei Weiqing had actually become an idle job, even more idle than Guangluqing.And Liu Renshi is the eldest son of Liu Hongji, the official residence of Zuo Weilang in the East Palace.

This General Zuowei is actually one of the five Zhechong captains of Zuowei.It belongs to the nature of Yin Feng, to make up for Liu Hongji's contribution to the opening of the Tang Dynasty.At the beginning, Chen Ying led the right guard of the East Palace and led the Xun Erfu to break up as the captain. In fact, he was also the right guard who led the general.

Li Jiancheng did not have any prejudice against Liu Renshi because of Liu Hongji.But seeing Liu Renshi kneeling when he came in, feeling displeased, Li Jiancheng frowned slightly and said, "Get up and talk!"

Liu Renshi did not stand up, but begged on his knees: "Your Majesty, the last general knows that he deserves to die, so he dare not ask His Majesty to beat me, but only asks His Majesty to spare the lives of his wife and children!"

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng looked at Liu Renshi in surprise and said, "Tell me what's going on first?"

Seeing that Li Jiancheng should not respond, Liu Renshi felt despair in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the general was greedy in the early years and took the benefits of Xingyang Zheng Rentai, and now the retribution has come. Zheng Rentai sent someone to send a letter to the general, Asked to help them open the city gate and let them enter the city at the end of June Bingzi. They said, they want...to assist the Taishanghuang to restore!"

Li Jiancheng stood up with a groan, and after looking at Chen Yingying, he burst into flames and said angrily, "What a guts!"

Although he had known the news that the aristocratic family members were going to do something, Li Jiancheng still didn't expect that these people would dare to support Li Yuan to come out.

Li Jiancheng was so angry that he was speechless. He thought that those people would be shameless, but he never thought that they would be so shameless.I am stronger than Li Yuan. Externally, I have wiped out the Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun, and Tubo, and expanded the land for thousands of miles. Internally, I have promoted the holy religion, and I have benefited and benefited the common people.

They actually want to push Li Yuan out to fight with themselves.

Chen Ying stood up, looked at Liu Renshi coldly and said, "General Liu, why don't you participate in such a big event? With your father's relationship with the Supreme Emperor..."

Liu Renshi lamented: "Although the final general is greedy and seeks his own way of death, why did he ever think of doing such a thing to punish the nine clans? Today, the final general is desperate, and he dare not ask His Majesty to forgive him. The wives and children in the family, the old and the young, are willing to form a grass ring to repay in the future life!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Renshi got up and slammed into the Panlong Pillar next to Li Jiancheng.Just when Liu Renshi was about to hit the Beaulieu Pillar, he suddenly felt a huge force coming.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, Liu Renshi fell heavily on the ground, only to realize that Chen Ying actually flew up and kicked him on the ground.

Chen Ying sneered and said, "You don't need to act, you don't need to die in front of His Majesty if you want to die!"

Li Jiancheng turned his back and said, "Okay, don't waste your time!"

Liu Renshi fell to the ground and begged again and again: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "You accepted local benefits and embezzled Mexican military funds. How to convict you is a matter for Dali Temple."

Liu Renshi felt that he had risen from hell to heaven in an instant, and Li Jiancheng, who he was most worried about, had no intention of looking for his own bad luck at all!
It is not a big deal to be greedy for some money. Datang is not a great Ming Dynasty, and it will not be used as grass just because it is greedy for 60 taels of silver.Relatively speaking, Datang's treatment of corrupt ink is much lighter.The left and right are just punished, at most he will be ordered to leave the army.As long as you don't force yourself to be involved in the rebellion against the Jiu Clan, the rest of the matter will be nothing!

With a cold face, Li Jiancheng snorted and said angrily, "Take this bastard down and take care of it, and wait for it to be dealt with!"

After Liu Renshi, who was limp on the ground, was taken down, Li Jiancheng cupped his hands to Chen Ying and said, "Let Chen Qing see the joke."

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Your Majesty is joking. As long as these people are honest, Your Majesty himself has no intention of pursuing the matter before the first year of Chong Kaiyuan too much."

In fact, Yang Wenqian's rebellion was also due to corruption of ink.Yang Wenqian was bold enough to steal and sell Qingzhou armaments. The court found out such a huge deficit. Li Jiancheng took into account Yang Wengan's past achievements and filled the hole with armor from the East Palace, but Li Shimin took advantage of it in the end.

Li Jiancheng sighed: "Yes, if the investigation continues, how many people are left in Chang'an City?"

Chen Yingdao: "This Liu Renshi is a smart person. I just don't know, is there any other smart people behind?"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "It's difficult. The reason why smart people are smart people is because there are too many idiots, so there are fewer smart people. Otherwise, wouldn't there be geniuses everywhere?"

Chen Yingdao: "However, the corruption of ink must be dealt with!"

Some people will say that it is impossible to control corruption. If you have money, you must be greedy. Corruption has never disappeared in history.What's more, it is impossible for any dynasty in history not to be corrupt. Since the emergence of the private system, there has been greed!
It is precisely because Li Shimin used the method of official corruption to deal with many political opponents, such as Yang Wengan, such as Liu Zhenghui... But in the Zhenguan Dynasty, the problem of corruption was much less.

In fact, why does Li Jiancheng not want to deal with corruption? The key is that there are two problems that cannot be solved now.

He sighed a long time and said, "It's hard!"

"Actually, it's not difficult!" Chen Yingdao: "The root cause of corruption is that the system is not perfect, allowing moths to have loopholes to exploit. If the loopholes in the system can be filled, the existence of corruption problems can be avoided!"

Li Jiancheng asked with interest: "What are you going to do?"

"A father seeks for his son!" Chen Ying explained with a smile: "As a parent, one must always consider one's own children. Although money is good, what if the imperial court enacts a harsh punishment?"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Chen Ying went on to say: "As long as officials are corrupted one hundred times (equivalent to RMB 420), under three generations, descendants of the three clans are not allowed to take part in the imperial examinations, and are not allowed to become officials."

Hearing this, Li Anyan had a new understanding of Chen Ying.

Chen Ying is really ruthless.

If this system is really implemented, Datang officials must consider the consequences if they want to embezzle.The living soil of the aristocratic family is the father's death and the son's succession. Although the hereditary system of the Tang Dynasty, the official position will not be hereditary, but relying on the shadow of the father's generation, the descendants can get twice the result with half the effort.

However, once no one is allowed to be an official within the three generations of the three clans, this punishment is actually more serious than skinning the skin, and no matter how harsh the punishment is, it will pass by gritting your teeth.It's a great death, but it can leave a lot of wealth for future generations.

However, the official careers of future generations are all cut off, and no matter how much money they have, they may not be able to keep it.

Li Jiancheng murmured: "That's not as good as..."

Before Li Jiancheng could finish speaking, Chen Ying shook his head again and again and said, "Your Majesty, I can't do it. Only the wise and brave can't do this. In my opinion, it's better to order Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng to be responsible for the implementation!"

Once this policy is implemented, it will become the public enemy of officials all over the world. Although Chen Ying is not afraid, but he has considered his own children, so think about it or forget it.

Anyway, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling played the role of the scapegoat, as the saying goes, don't worry if you have too many debts, and don't bite if you have too many lice.Neither of them gave a damn.

At such a moment, Chen Ying suddenly understood why the Eleventh Department of Tie Le in Lingzhou launched a rebellion at this time. It would be unreasonable to say that there were no shadows of these aristocratic clans behind them.

Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng looked at each other, and they almost said in unison: "Lingzhou!"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "Lingzhou is just a smog, and those few miscellaneous fish can't make any waves. But..."

"But what?" Li Jiancheng asked.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Your Majesty is concerned about the danger of Lingzhou, and ordered the General of Zuowei to lead the General of Zuowei, Wei Chigong, to lead the Zuowei army to Lingzhou to suppress the rebellion!"

In fact, Chen Ying dug a big hole.
