Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 276 Interest Groups
On the second day after Liu Yizhen returned to Jiankang, the officials of the Ministry of Education suddenly became busy.

The unusual move immediately caught the attention of some.

Zhongshu Sheng, adhering to the will of the monarch, is in charge of confidentiality and issues imperial edicts.

Liu Yizhen started from Zhongshu Province from the very beginning, and indeed caught many people by surprise.

Fortunately, the Zhongshu Province also leaked gossip that Liu Yizhen was going to reward the generals and soldiers who went on the Northern Expedition.

This means that Liu Yizhen chose the former between "polite first and soldiers later" and "strike first to be strong".

Even if this "ritual" is a bit hard.

Now Liu Yizhen's biggest advantage is the military power in his hands, but military power is a trump card.

Can only be used to deter.If you want to use it, it means it's time to flip the table.

Adding the Northern Expedition first will undoubtedly make Liu Yizhen have a deeper influence on the army, and at the same time it will be easier to win over the forces of the military aristocrats.

In this way, the pressure came to the aristocratic family.

Liu Yu started his career as an army, and the army has always been regarded as taboo by Liu Yu, and the aristocratic family is not allowed to intervene at all.That's why Liu Yizhen was able to hold this basic board in his hands as soon as he took the position.

Among them, the Chenjun Xie family must have a deeper understanding.

Obviously, the Beifu Army was founded by the Xie family, but now this army is subtly named Liu.

It is impossible for the private soldiers in the southern Shijiawu Fort and the manor to pose a threat to the large-scale and well-trained central army.The "private army trilogy" in Jiangdong during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period has become history.

A draft list was also "unintentionally" leaked under Liu Yizhen's instruction.

All of them are rewards from the heavy-numbered generals, but this candidate made all the aristocratic families tremble with fear——

Zhu Lingshi, the general of the left, was granted the title of county magistrate without promotion or demotion.

Right General Tan Daoji, although he did not have any great achievements, his prestige is well known to both the government and the public.

The former general Wang Zhongde, with senior qualifications, was still guarding Jinyang, growing stronger and stronger.

After the general Wang Zhen evil, everyone also pinched their noses and recognized it.

but then...

Guard General, Fan Daoji?Who is this?
Pei Fangming... who is this?

Liu Yizhen is going to promote all the dogs raised in the palace to be military dogs, can they get a share of military merit?
On this draft list, almost all of them are Liu Yizhen's cronies. Even Wang Maide and Gao Yun, who did not participate in the Northern Expedition, have made military achievements. The reason is to offer advice to defeat the enemy?

Is the emperor fooling all the officials as fools?

This is obviously to use the military achievements of the Northern Expedition to promote his own people!
Liu Yu also did this.

But at least Liu Yu still said that if he wanted to award a person, he would definitely take that person along with him on the march.If it's too late, he will let the other party take up a military post and do some face-saving projects.

What about Liu Yizhen?

Directly an unclear edict, how can others be convinced?
but……

Who dares to uncover the emperor's new clothes?
Now the emperor made it clear that he wanted to play hooligans with the minister, but the minister could only endure it.

Because the achievements of the Northern Expedition are true.

Those lands were recovered by Liu Yizhen himself.

He said that whoever has meritorious service is meritorious.

Anyway, who can find out the evidence for the credit of "contributing ideas"?
Now Liu Yizhen is going to use the military achievements of the Northern Expedition to create the most powerful interest group since the founding of Liu Song, an interest group that supports Liu Yizhen.

This interest group is destined not to exist for a long time, but in the short term, it will be a behemoth that no one can shake.

Among other things, the group of generals who followed Liu Yizhen in the Northern Expedition will all be the vested interests of this interest group.

Those who did not go to the Northern Expedition, such as Wang Zhen'e, was also a minister of Liu Yizhen's hidden residence.

Zhao Lunzhi is even a relative.

Who can resist this terrifying force?

No!Change the question...

Who can refuse to join such a terrifying force?

Xu Xianzhi may be able to, but Xu Xianzhi represents a poor family, and at most has a bit of nobility.Such a weak attribute means that he must be attached to the imperial power to survive.

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Xie Hui.

Originally, this person could be Wang Hong.

only……

Who doesn't know that Wang Hong is now a relative?
As long as Wang Hong doesn't act like a demon and the queen doesn't lose her virtue, she will give birth to another son.Wang's interests will only get higher and higher, and there is no reason to come out and take risks against Liu Yizhen.

So Xie Hui is the only hope for these forces.

Xie Hui was caught in the middle these days and almost went crazy.

He really wanted to go out and say to everyone: "I am the one who contributed to the Northern Expedition! I am the one who should join this interest group!"

It's just a pity that he can't say that.

Having said that, he will change from a fulcrum that both sides check and balance to a [-]-year-old boy that both sides will hate...

Xie Hui really wanted to hold Liu Yizhen's thigh and cry and ask, "Why did Your Majesty frame Zhongliang?"

It's ridiculous, the two are close comrades fighting side by side on the battlefield.Changing the venue immediately becomes the opposite.

Even though he knew that Liu Yizhen didn't do it on purpose, the main reason for this embarrassing situation was that everyone's buttocks were sitting differently.

And the butt determines the head.

"I want to enter the palace to face the saint!"

Xie Hui was also forced to have no choice but to go to Liu Yizhen to sell miserably.

When he arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, Xie Hui didn't have to wait for Xie Hui to perform the lines he had prepared vividly before he saw a scene that he would never forget.

Paper, paper everywhere.

Rolls of fine ephedra paper were scattered all over the hall, and hundreds of scholars were sitting among them with writing brushes, performing calculations that Xie Hui could not understand at all.

"Yo! Thank you servant for coming!"

Xie Hui looked up, only to realize that Liu Yizhen was leaning against a beam without any image at the moment, holding a few rolls of paper in his hand to sketch.

"Your Majesty, what is... what are you doing?"

"Of course it is to convert the military rewards of this Northern Expedition... Hurry up and get a pen and paper for Xie Shizhong, and ask him to help with the calculation."

Xie Hui: "???"

Although there was a feeling of a sheep entering a tiger's den, Xie Hui still readily accepted the teachings of those around him.

"This is the record of the Northern Expedition..."

"..."

With Xie Hui's wisdom, it is not difficult to understand these.The original ghost-like calculation method is clear after being familiar with it.

However, it was precisely because he understood that Xie Hui became more and more frightened.

This reward is already too rich and outrageous.

An ordinary soldier who didn't even have the credit for beheading, just stayed in Luoyang for one year, Liu Yizhen rewarded him with twenty five baht coins, equivalent to two "Yongchu treasure coins" cast in gold.

Like the elite fighting on the front line, the reward is as high as a hundred guan, hundreds of guan.

What is Liu Yizhen doing?

Clean up the treasury?
When Xie Hui was wondering, the little official beside him began to introduce the second job to him——

discounted.

In this operation, the bounty paid to the soldiers was converted into goods.

It's just that Xie Hui looked at these goods more and more familiarly...

Isn't this the product produced in the family workshop?
Liu Yizhen... is this going to poke a hole in the family's purse, and then we'll finish the game together?
