Chapter 847 The Tokyo storm, Xiang Shuai surrendered

Seeing Dang Jin's beaming expression, his expression was a little condensed, and he didn't answer for a while, Zhao Kuangyi who was beside him couldn't help asking: "General Dang, what happened in Tokyo!"

Dang Jin replied with a smile: "Those people from the Southwest Army have never been to the capital. They are newcomers, just like countrymen entering the city. They have no experience. They think they have made great achievements in Pingshu and are praised by the emperor. These days, in the Indulging in the city of Tokyo, and even picking quarrels and provoking troubles, harassing the merchants and people. There are many criticisms about this from the court and the people."

"This kind of behavior that violates military discipline and acts recklessly, is there no strict restraint from the privy secretaries and the commanding army?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"That's natural!" Dang Jin said: "Learning about the presumptuousness of the Southwest Army, the Privy Council surrendered and beheaded more than 50 officers and soldiers who fought and violated the common people. The rest were ordered to return to camp." , are not allowed to go out and enter the market again. All the generals in charge of the army have been blamed, and now the people in the Southwest are in a state of embarrassment, humiliated, and can no longer be arrogant."

As Dang Jin spoke, he couldn't help but gloat, that others were unlucky, and he took pleasure in other people's misfortune here, and he looked like a villain.However, Zhao Kuangyin can understand his state of mind, he is a straightforward person, and his thoughts and emotions are basically revealed on the outside.

The reason is that Dang Jin was "wronged" in Chengdu. Even with Zhao Kuangyin's concession and Xiang Xun's restraint for the northern and eastern armies, there would inevitably be conflicts between the generals and soldiers underneath.

Your contribution is great, and my contribution is not small. It is not easy for you to march, but it is not easy for me to march.All kinds of disputes arise in the comparison of merits. Of course, the main contradiction lies in the uneven distribution of spoils.

No matter what, the North Route Army was powerful, and with Xiang Xun as its backer, it naturally suppressed the East Route Army everywhere, and the main composition of the North Route Army was the Southwest Army.

"Soldiers under your command, have you restrained them well?" Zhao Kuangyin asked with concern.

"Don't worry, Marquis Duyu!" Dang Jin said with a proud expression on his face, "How can we be like those idiots? We won't break the law!"

"What I just said is a trivial matter!" Dang Jin continued with more interest.

"What else?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"In the past few days, the imperial court has been busy with verifying military exploits and awarding meritorious service. According to reports, His Majesty and Minister Wei of the Ministry of War believe that Duke Yuhou ranks first in meritorious service below Xiang Gong. The subordinate generals will be ranked according to meritorious service. "Dang Jin laughed: "However, there was a dispute between Wang Quanbin and Wang Renshan. Because Wang Quanbin was in front of Wang Renshan, Wang Renshan refused to accept it.

The latter two held a banquet with guests at the Tongqing Building at the same time, and the two parties clashed. The restaurant was almost demolished due to verbal abuse and fighting.The emperor was furious when he heard this, and personally ordered the two to be arrested! "

Although the Northern Route Army that conquered Shu was mainly based on Xiangxun, it was also divided into factions.It is mainly divided into four categories. One is formed by the integration of the local army in Guanzhong, represented by Wang Renshan and Li Yan; the other is naturally the Central Forbidden Army, and Wang Quanbin has the highest reputation and status; Generals such as He Jianjian and Han Jixun in the second army of Huaide and Huaide have always been relatively low-key; the fourth is generals such as Gao Huaide and Murong Chengtai, who belong to the relatives of the emperor.

Although it is divided into four categories, the main contradiction is still between Guanzhong nationality and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and it also represents the contradiction between the central government and the local government.It is not a bad thing to have competition and comparison, and Liu Chengyou is also happy to see it.

However, the conflict between Wang Quanbin and Wang Renshan escalated. The contradictions among the generals were exposed to outsiders, breaking through the bottom line and causing extremely serious adverse effects.How could Liu Chengyou not be angry, that's why he ordered the second general to be locked up.

After listening to Dang Jin's description, all the generals present couldn't help laughing out loud, acting like a melon-eating crowd.Zhao Kuangyi also clicked his lips and commented confidently: "This general who is famous in the southwest and has made great achievements in battle is no different from ordinary soldiers when he wins meritorious service!
Wang Quanbin is also a veteran in the battlefield, quite famous, how could he be so unwise in such a matter?Sun Li and Wang Yansheng, Wang Yin and Han Tong, the lessons are not deep enough? "

"Presumptuous!" Hearing Zhao Kuangyi's eloquent talk, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly became angry, and reprimanded him, "What is your identity, how dare you make such a big deal, criticize the court's meritorious general, and call him by his first name?"

Seeing his elder brother's angry and intimidating face, Zhao Kuangyi was startled, met his gaze, thought for a while, his expression tightened, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Second brother taught you the lesson, I was the one who was frivolous!"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Dang Jin and the others, and almost touched their noses with his hand: "Don't laugh, don't be complacent! They are also in the Shu army, and their reputation has been ruined. General Wang and the others are out of luck. How can we get along well? ?”

"Also, don't you think that the reason for returning to court this time is to receive rewards?" Looking at the crowd, Zhao Kuangyin's gaze was particularly sharp.

"Second brother, what do you mean?" Zhao Kuangyi said out the doubts of Dang Jin and others.

Clasping his hands in the direction of Kaifeng, Zhao Kuangyin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's edict, to make a summary of Pingshu, reward meritorious deeds and punish them! You know, the rewards come first, and the punishments come later!"

"Punishment? Could it be because of the chaos in Sichuan?" Dang Jin couldn't help laughing.

"So, you must restrain your words and deeds. I see you, you are not less arrogant!" Zhao Kuangyin said.

Tokyo, Imperial City Nanya, Dali Temple.

With the strengthening of the legal system of the Han Dynasty, as the highest judicial review institution of the Han Dynasty, the authority and influence of the Dali Temple are also constantly improving. Today, it is also the number one among the many government offices of the Han Dynasty.

Today's Minister of Dali Temple, named Cui Zhoudu, was born as a Jinshi. He served as a royal censor and Buque in the court, and served as an envoy abroad. He has a strong temperament and cannot tolerate lawlessness.He used to be the judge of Murong Yanchao, the king of Changli County. At that time, Murong Yanchao was impeached because of his greed for money and disrespect for the people.

Then it fell into Liu Chengyou's eyes. After all, no matter which era, it is very rare not to shy away from the royal family and not to be afraid of the powerful.It has been less than two years since he was transferred from Yunzhou to Dali Temple. Since taking up his duties, he has worked hard to clear up prison cases, which has greatly improved the efficiency of Dali Temple in handling cases.

However, right now, Cui Siqing is facing a difficult problem.Looking at Xiang Xun standing in the lobby, Cui Zhoudu hesitated for a while, and picked up the confession record recorded in the court case, got up, walked to Xiang Xun, and handed it to him: "Xiang Gong, what do you think of this record? "

Xiang Xun took it and browsed it a little bit. This is Xiang Xun's "statement of guilt", which records his crimes in detail, and there are eight items in total.Greedy and amassing money; meddling with beauties in the palace of Shu; oppressing officials in the middle of Shu;
One pile, one piece, is not a small crime.As for Xiang Xun, he voluntarily surrendered to Dali Temple for trial.Cui Zhoudu is more daring if he dares to take over as a bureaucrat, but at this moment, he still hesitates.After all, this is the commander in chief of Pingshu. How can he be punished if the merits are not enough, not to mention whether his crime is true, even if it is true, without the emperor's approval, who can try him and sentence him.

And Xiang Xun's behavior was even more confusing.Of course, Cui Zhoudu has also heard about some of the recent turmoil in Kaifeng, but he doesn't want to think too much, think carefully, and just do his job well.

"Very good, I will record everything according to the facts!" Xiang Xun said with a smile, and stretched out his hand towards him: "Take the pen and ink pad, and I will use it as a signature!"

Cui Zhoudu did not dare to neglect, and served him personally.After signing the painting, Xiang Xun asked with a chuckle, "It's time for me to go to jail! Do you want to wear shackles?"

Hearing this, Cui Zhoudu couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Xiang, don't make it difficult for me to step down!"

"The rules of the court can never be broken, and I can't make an exception either!" Xiang Xun said.

What Cui Zhoudu thought in his heart was that if you come directly to Dali Temple, it is not in accordance with the normal procedure.He said on his mouth: "Come here, take Xiang Gong down, so that you can serve him well."

Soon, Xiang Xun's confession was submitted to the emperor's case, read it, and laughed it off.After a little consideration, make a reply, which will be discussed by the three legal departments.
