Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 726 The dust has settled (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

"If Zhang Han commits such a mistake, he may be able to remain in the army, but if he is in the court, will no one impeach him?"

Meng Tian naturally frowned after hearing this. In his opinion, it would be better for the empire to be less troublesome at this time.

But he really couldn't stand up to the fact that he was in charge of the Yushitai and was bending the law for personal gain.

"Your Majesty, according to the law, as a general of the Qin State, if you are corrupt, you will be demoted and fined, but if the situation is serious, you will be removed from the official rank."

"This case will be handed over to Dali Temple and Yushitai for public trial. What do you think?"

Zhang Han suddenly felt cold after hearing this.But at this time, he had neither the ability nor the reason to resist.Once the 30 prisoner army is handed over, the Zhang brothers will be completely useless, and the second generation will definitely settle old scores with him.

After hearing this, no one had any objections.

The second emperor immediately ordered Zhang Han to be taken down.

"However, what Deputy Captain Liu Kai just said is very true. The matter of the imperial mausoleum should have been handed over to the Ministry of Works. The late emperor's mausoleum was completed in such a hasty manner. I am really ashamed of the late emperor. I want the emperor to The mausoleum project will be handed over to the Ministry of Industry.”

These words of the Second Emperor first dispelled the rumor that the Second Emperor was neglecting the late Emperor's mausoleum.

Most of the people who came here today were old ministers of the first emperor and old officials from other places. Seeing how the Second Emperor treated them like this, they all felt more at ease.Furthermore, because of the policy of light corvee and low tax, outsiders rumored that there is no extra money in the court.

Only Meng Tian understood the emperor's intention instantly.Jiu Qing's only real power now lies in the imperial mausoleum. The only thing that can cause trouble for His Majesty is this matter.

Not only the branches and leaves of the big tree in Qin State were damaged, but also the old roots.

Your Majesty now wants to pull out these necrotic old tree roots and use Zhang Han's incident to bring Jiu Qing's face down.

Anyway, the old minister has long since left his heart, and if he breaks up, he will break up.

"Your Majesty, the position of the Captain of the Guards is extraordinary. You can go to court for several days without a prime minister, but you cannot live without the Captain of the Guards for even one day."

"Now that all the generals have returned, should I still worry about the vacancy of the position of Captain of the Guarding Army?"

The Second Emperor looked at the generals accompanying him. These people had different thoughts. Their lives were divided into two halves, one in Xianyang and the other in Jiangdong. Now that they have returned to Xianyang, they feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

In this situation, everyone naturally elected Zhao Tuo as the captain of the guard army.

Zhao Tuo is a man who can convince the masses and can indeed be appointed as the captain of the army.But Meng Tian has not forgotten that his friendship with Tu Wei is not shallow.Not only that, Meng Tian had heard about Ren Xiao's advice to the late emperor to attack south, and Zhao Tuo also participated.

But things turned bad later, and Zhao Tuo and others could only wait peacefully.

Zhao Tuo did not expect that as soon as he came, the Second World War would give him the position of Captain of the Guards. It seemed that this was already decided. As long as he came back, the position of Captain of the Guards would be his.

In front of all the soldiers, Zhao Tuo did not refuse, but just stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, to be fair, the general's ability is not among the best in the army, especially in the area of ​​strategy. It is difficult to match the former Lord Wu'an Bai Qi, let alone the living Marquis of Tongwu Wang Bi. I think I can't take on the responsibility. Take up such a position.”

"When people in the world talk about soldiers, they always praise and boast, thinking that soldiers are born to open up frontiers and expand territories. But now that the world is at peace, I think the soldiers that people in the world should praise should protect their homes and countries and guard their borders."

"If we talk about the generals in the court who have made great military achievements and are ranked high, and who can withstand the hardship of guarding the border for 15 years, there are only a few generals in the court. But now, the only ones who have free time are the generals."

Zhao Tuo was a little worried at first. He was afraid that this position was fraudulent. None of the former emperor's favorites had secured this position. Why did he take this position when he came?

He really responded to the news from the outside, and now there are no generals in the Qin Kingdom.

Zhao Tuo still pretended to refuse and refused to accept the position until the second time.

Yang Moucong naturally felt a little unhappy after hearing this.

It is true that he has a low position, but he has also guarded the border areas for more than ten years, and he has always looked forward and backward in serving the late emperor, without daring to neglect at all. Now His Majesty has only made him the Marquis of Changping, and he is a Marquis in one side, but he is not a serious person. The king of Jing, but when Zhao Tuo came back, he became the captain of the imperial guard army.

They are all generals. For them, the rank of a general not only means the amount of benefits, but also a layer of honor.These generals who have reached their current status have long been seeking fame instead of profit. If they can be the captains of the army, who can be the Marquis of Changping in the small pass.

After this arrangement was completed, it was already noon, and the rain outside gradually subsided.

The Second Emperor ordered them to rest for five days, pay homage to their deceased relatives, visit relatives and friends, and then go to the Duwei Mansion to take up their posts.Although it was just a small thing, these people came back from a long journey, and the second said these words, which finally gave them comfort in their hearts.

The "young" emperor in front of them made them feel inexplicably at ease.

After leaving Xianyang Palace, all the generals naturally gathered around Zhao Tuo to leave. After they left the palace, they first went to their old house and paid homage to their father's grave.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers returned home.The heavy rain stopped, and the bright moon shone brightly at night. The round and big moon hung in the sky, and the smell of wine wafted in the air.

The bright moon is beautiful, listening to the joyous songs and laughter of thousands of families.

Five days later, Zhao Tuo returned to take office. His subordinates reminded him that he had to meet many generals, but Zhao Tuo did not take it to heart. He discussed with several of his old subordinates how to appease the soldiers who returned home.

Compared with Guanzhong, the Qin Guan area, which was in a state of chaos caused by the Qin aristocracy, needs to be redistributed more.

Just as Zhao Tuo and others were worried, the soldiers returning home were holding their breath at this moment.

Half of the men in the old Qin State were like Heifu and Jing. They experienced the war when they were young. Fortunately, they were ordered to return home, and then they began to live with their families. The life was naturally comfortable, but as time went by, the number of people in the family became larger and larger. too much.

There is also a situation where the young man in the family goes out and never comes back again.Especially the policy of first ordering men to write books. He gave Qin a sufficient supply of soldiers, but it harmed many families.

According to the laws of the Qin State, men must separate and start a family when they reach old age. However, not long after they started a family, many young men were called away to participate in the war. Some of them were not so lucky. Once they left their hometown, it would be ten years or twenty years to return. Not coming.

Many people have even forgotten the way home and can only rely on their fellow villagers to find their way home together.

At this time, many social problems will be exposed.When a man lives in the army, there may be military prostitutes, but when a woman is at home, her legs are her own. In the long absence, there may be some people who guard their bodies like jade, waiting for the men to come back and remain loyal, but the others have already run away. Run away, remarry those who remarry.

So when the man came back, there were other men living in the house, and the land became someone else's land.

These men are equivalent to being bachelors for a lifetime, and resentment naturally rises from their chests.

But when those lucky men return home, their home is still their home and the land is still their land.But after being happy for a few days, I found that his return not only did not make the family happier, but instead became a burden.

The subsidy that the Qin State gave to the guarding soldiers' families had already been deducted seven to eighty-eight, and distributed to the common people.

Guan Nei is such a Guan Nei, one account is settled clearly, and there is another account.The harm caused to the common people by the oppression of the nobles was not only depriving them of their due dignity, but also depriving them of their resources and future.

When these soldiers returned home, they found that there was already a man as tall as him at home. This son, whom he had not seen for more than ten years, was now getting married, but as a father, he had nothing to offer.

After more than ten years of hard work guarding the border, when I returned home, I was faced with the same land, but I had an extra population.

So when they woke up from the clear dream of returning home and reunited, their lives seemed to have pressed the reset button. After returning home, Kangtou didn't sleep for a few days, but the past days of not having enough to eat came back.

When I got home, I had nothing to eat, wear or drink.

Overnight, the worries caused by poverty came to mind again. More than ten years ago, they were forced to serve as soldiers because they were poor, had insufficient acres of land, and had no food to eat.

The worst thing is that the soldiers who joined the army as refugees went home empty-handed and returned home empty-handed.

Others could still cry in front of the empty courtyard, but they could only stand.
