The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1588
"Your Highness..."

"Okay, needless to say, although I said that you underestimated the enemy this time, which led to failure and sounded the alarm for others. Is this considered a meritorious service, but you are still guilty, and you will be punished if you are guilty. Wang Quanbin, I am now Let me ask you, are you convinced?"

Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, which is what a politician should do. On the one hand, Zhao Xu said that Wang Quanbin deserved credit, but he should also be punished.

"Minister, you should be punished for causing a catastrophic disaster. You must be punished no matter what. Even if it takes my life, I have nothing to say."

Since Wang Quanbin dared to tell each other that Bianjing was self-heating, he was not afraid of punishment, and what he was more guilty about now was that he was sorry for those dead brothers, so he didn't hesitate at all when he heard Zhao Xu say that he wanted to punish.

"Okay, I'll dismiss you, put you in prison for three months, and fine you three years of salary. Do you have anything to say?" Zhao Xu said it immediately without any hesitation.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." Although these punishments seem serious, they are actually nothing. Dismissal is not a one-sentence matter. Can go back to the past.

Entering the Heavenly Prison and being fined for three years is even more trivial. I don’t know how many things the emperor has rewarded for so many years, and I don’t know how many times more than the salary. .

Not to mention three years of fines, even ten years, I can live by myself, so these are not big things.

"Do you have complaints in your heart?" Zhao Xu said playfully.

"These are not punishments at all. Compared with our dead brothers, these are my atonement. How can I complain?"

"Okay, Wang Quanbin's mentality is good. If I ask you to lead the soldiers in Shu again, and then attack Tubo again, do you have confidence?"

Wang Quanbin was stunned, and he wanted to lead the soldiers in Shu by himself. Do he still have the qualifications? He has already brought such a big loss to Song Dynasty.

"Why don't you have confidence? I plan to let you go back to Sichuan after you have been punished. If you fall there, you can get up there. How about knowing your shame and being brave?"

Zhao Xu's idea was to know his shame and then be brave. In this way, Wang Quanbin will be careful in the future and will learn his lesson.

Later, the ministers didn't know what was going on. Wang Quanbin was dismissed and locked up. Everyone was guessing how the court would deal with him. After a few months, he was released and continued to return to Shu. Assuming an important position, this made the ministers very puzzled.

They all wrote letters to severely punish Wang Quanbin, but Zhao Xu ignored them. The ministers went to Zhao Kuangyin's place, but Lao Zhao said that he is recuperating now, don't disturb him, and can discuss anything with His Highness, and that Zhao Xu represents him.

All of a sudden those ministers had nothing to say, Zhao Kuangyin made it clear not to ask, and Zhao Xu's attitude was so resolute, Wang Quanbin had gone on vacation in a prison and was reinstated. The big change, but it has become more stable, and he has become a qualified general.

At this time, Zhao Xu was thinking about training new soldiers, and wanted to attack Tubo again, because he still remembered what Zhao Kuangyin said about Jiuding, and this time he focused on Jiuding.

But at this time, one thing broke. Zhao Xu's plan also changed the current situation in Song Dynasty. That was the uprising in Song Dynasty.

Yes, there was an uprising, opposition voices appeared within the Song Dynasty, and peasant uprisings appeared. How could these peasant uprisings occur.

These made Zhao Kuangyin and his son very puzzled, because peasant uprisings all occurred when the dynasty was corrupt, and the people had no choice but to resist when they were dissatisfied with those in power.

The earliest peasant movement recorded in Chinese history is: The first peasant uprising in Chinese history was the Daze Township Uprising led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the last years of the Qin Dynasty.

This is all because the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Qin II, was a fatuous and brutal emperor.Under his rule, the burden of corvee and taxes on the common people became heavier, and the criminal law became more severe.The majority of working people are struggling with hunger and death.

The unbearable peasants revolted in Daze Township, which was caused by the persecution of those in power, but this was not the case in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was not established for a long time, but it was also very good for the people.

Compared with the previous dynasties, I don't know how much better it is. How could a large number of people oppose the imperial court!
However, such a thing happened. If it was in a small place with hundreds or even thousands of people, the imperial court would not care. Here's the problem.

"What's going on here? Why do things like this happen in various places? Tell me, Zhao Pu?"

Zhao Xu roared in the hall, which really made him very angry. He was really angry that such a thing happened in the Song Dynasty under his rule.

"I don't know yet, so..." Zhao Pu really didn't know, he was very embarrassed.

"How about you, Dou Yi, do you have anything to say?" Zhao Xu was looking for the prime minister of the dynasty. If something happened, he must ask them.

But this time, the two prime ministers were very embarrassed. They didn't know what was going on at all. Zhao Xu's angry voice could be heard throughout the court.

In the end, all the ministers were reprimanded by Zhao Xu, and then asked to investigate quickly. These ministers hurriedly investigated amidst Zhao Xu's anger.

Zhao Xu has never been so angry before, this time he was very angry, but these ministers all know what it is for, can they not be angry?"

He expected these ministers to investigate. The cucumber dishes were cold. He had already sent someone there, and he wanted them too. As for the major affairs in the court, someone would naturally handle them. Zhao Xu told them not to bother him recently.

"My lord, we are really going to the southwest this time. The people there are the most noisy, but where you are going, you may be in danger, and we don't have many people with us, and there are things in the court..."

"Dong Zhenhai, when did you become so wordy? You see, Liu Qinhu is not as wordy as you. Who knows our identities, as long as we keep a low profile, nothing will happen."

These people are Zhao Xu. When Zhao Xu left the capital, he wanted to go to the places where the uprising happened. As for the court, there were ministers to deal with it, and Zhao Kuangyin's body recovered. If there is anything that can't be solved, Zhao Kuangyin can still stand out.

Zhao Xu felt that these people were a little unusual, so he wanted to go and see for himself, especially where the trouble was the worst in the southwest.
