Qian Song

Chapter 463 Corruption (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

early morning.

Li Cun felt somewhat regretful!

There was no trace of Gulboljin Guoorhatun that Li Cun was looking forward to. Empress Dowager Ren, Empress Wang, and the other three royal daughters of Xixia, including Cao Xianfei, the mother of Xixia, were all as well-behaved as little sheep. Li Cunrang They will cooperate however they want, and they will absolutely be at the mercy of Li Cun and let Li Cun do whatever he wants.

Fortunately, Li Cun was always cautious, fearing that Queen Mother Ren, Queen Kong, and Concubine Cao Xian would pull out a dagger from some unknown place.

As a result, nothing happened. Li Cun smoothly took care of Empress Dowager Ren, Empress Wang, Concubine Cao Xian and other women, and then slept beautifully with them in his arms.

The promised Xixia women are staunch, tough, and revengeful?

Or is it just the lower-class Xixia women like this? These pampered Xixia royal and clan daughters are no different from the royal and clan daughters of other countries?

The only thing that comforted Li Cun was that Queen Mother Ren was still intact!

Li Cun even couldn't help but think: "This Li Qianshun is too kind to me. He married a young, beautiful and gentle wife, but he didn't touch her and left me to hug her. He is such a good man!"

Becoming Queen Mother Ren's first man in the true sense made Li Cun feel very good. At the same time, Li Cun also liked Queen Mother Ren even more.

In fact, Empress Wang is not bad, well-educated, intelligent and capable. Although she is a party woman, she is proficient in Chinese culture and is more polite than many ladies of the Han family.

By the way, Li Cun also knew one little thing about Queen Wang.

That is, one time Li Renxiao went hunting in Helan Mountain. On the way, his horse lost its front hoof and was injured. He was so angry that he ordered the people who built the road to be killed. Ahua, the food official on the side, admonished him: "Killing for a horse is not a noble animal." How can you serve your countrymen by killing people?"

After Li Renxiao returned to the palace, he told the matter to Queen Kong, who immediately rewarded Ahua heavily and encouraged the ministers to remonstrate directly.

The 54 years of Li Renxiao's reign were the most prosperous period of Xixia.

Therefore, Li Renxiao is known as the "Ming Jun" and can reach the realm of "there is no hiddenness in the upper part, and there is no unrecognizable feeling in the lower part", and Queen Wang can be said to have contributed a lot.

This kind of woman is what Li Cunsu likes.

Li Renxiao's biological mother, Concubine Cao Xian, the mother of the Xixia Kingdom, although she is already 37 years old, she still has the charm of a middle-aged lady, and has a unique flavor.

The other two daughters of the royal family of Xixia are also very good.

In short, although the small expectation in Li Cun's heart did not happen, Li Cun also had a wonderful night.

Under the auspices of Empress Dowager Ren, Empress Wang, Concubine Cao Xian and other women who had slept with them last night, as well as a group of female officials and maids of honor, Li Cun finished washing and had a meal with them.

After the meal, Queen Mother Ren found an opportunity and said hesitantly to Li Cun: "Can I ask the officials to pardon the crimes of my father and my clan members?"

Li Cun was not surprised at all when Queen Mother Ren said this.

In fact, not only the Queen Mother Ren, but also Queen Wang, Concubine Cao Xian and other women who served the bed last night are also waiting in line to intercede with Li Cun.

Obviously, Empress Dowager Ren, Empress Wang, Concubine Cao Xian and other women who stayed with her last night must have heard someone tell them that as long as they feel comfortable serving Li Cun, they can then ask Li Cun for some small things, such as amnesty for his family or tribe. Usually, Now, as long as his family members or clan members have not made any serious mistakes, and they are not from the imperial family or clan, Li Cun will generally agree.

This is indeed the case for other people, but it is a little different here for Queen Mother Ren.

Just because Empress Dowager Ren asked Li to deposit it was Ren Dejing and his clan members.

I won’t go into details about Ren Dejing’s previous experience in the Zhao and Song dynasties.

It is only said that after surrendering to Xixia, Ren Dejing dedicated his daughter Queen Mother Ren to Li Qianshun and became the defense envoy of Jingzhou in Xixia and the commander-in-chief of the Xiangqing army.

In the early days of the Daqian Dynasty's invasion of Xixia, Ren Dejing led his army to actively resist. Later, he was defeated. Seeing that Xixia seemed to be over, Ren Dejing decisively offered Jingzhou City to the Daqian Dynasty and surrendered to the Daqian Dynasty. .

Generally, in a situation like Ren Dejing's, the Daqian court would not be punished. After all, he had made a great contribution to the city, and the Daqian court would definitely encourage this behavior.

However, Li Cun knew that if history did not change, Ren Dejing would soon be granted the title of Duke of Xiping for pacifying Xiao Heda's rebellion and suppressing the blackmail uprising.Later, Ren Dejingai bribed Brother Li Cha and other Xixia royal families, clans, powerful ministers, and important ministers, and was able to enter the Xixia Center and become the Prime Minister. His younger brother Ren Decong became the Taiwei in front of the palace, and his younger brother Ren Degong became the Yin of Xingqing Prefecture. The brothers were good at Xia affairs.Subsequently, the power of the Ren family continued to expand, and Ren Dejing was granted the title of King of Chu, with the same etiquette and obedience as the emperor.

But even so, Ren Dejing was still not satisfied. He also built a palace in Xiping Mansion in Xixia and attempted to use Xiping Mansion and Xiazhou as his territory.

Later, Ren Dejing even forced Li Renxiao to divide half of the country under his rule.

Li Renxiao was forced to agree and return to the Chu State in Southwest Road, Xiping Mansion, Lingzhou Luopangling and other places.

Ren Dejing also forced Li Renxiao to petition the Kingdom of Jin, demanding recognition of the Kingdom of Chu.

But this was rejected by Wan Yanyong.

Ren Dejing had a grudge against Jin, transferred to the Southern Song Dynasty, and made an appointment to attack Jin.

Later, the conspiracy was exposed, and Li Renxiao obtained the support of the Jin Dynasty to hunt down the Ren brothers.

Ren Dejing failed to divide the country.

A person who is so ambitious and ignorant of loyalty and gratitude will definitely not do well with Li Cun.

Therefore, when Chen Tuo wrote a memorial to Li Cun requesting amnesty for the Xixia officials who had surrendered, Li Cun ticked off the Ren Dejing clan.

As for the reason, Li Cun didn't explain it to anyone.

Liu Yu's family is in the same situation as Ren Dejing.

The same goes for the Liu Yu family. In the early stages of the Daqian Dynasty's expedition to Xixia, they desperately resisted the Qian army's attack. Later, when they saw that the Qian army could not defeat Xixia, they decisively broke out of the city and surrendered. The road to Qingfu.

But even so, Li Cun still ticked off Liu Yu's family from the amnesty list.

As for the reason, there is no other reason.

It's just because Liu Yu's clan is more hateful than Ren Dejing's clan.

Historically, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Yu served as the criminal officer of Hebei West Road.When the Jin soldiers went south, he abandoned his post and fled.Later, after being recommended by Zhang Cui, Zhao Gou made him the prefect of Jinan regardless of his previous suspicion.But seeing the chaos in the north and Jinan under the iron heel of the Jin people, it was not a good place to go. He planned to flee to Jiangnan to become an official, but was rejected by all the prime ministers.Because of this, he held a grudge. When the Jin army besieged the city, he killed General Guan Sheng, a brave general with a broad sword, and surrendered.

Later, Liu Yu bribed Wan Yanchang and was pretended to be the "Emperor of Da Qi" by the Jin people.

After becoming an important loser of the Jin Kingdom, Liu Yu sent his son Liu Lin, nephew Liu Yi, and Song Dynasty rebel generals Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou and others to cooperate with the Jin army to invade the Southern Song Dynasty and capture Xiangyang and other places.

Historically, when Yue Fei and others resisted the Jin Dynasty, most of the time they were actually fighting against the puppet Qi regime established by Liu Yu. Without Liu Yu and others to help him perpetrate oppression, it might not have been possible for the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty to truly regain its lost ground.

Moreover, Liu Yu implemented a policy of brutally oppressing the people of the Central Plains internally, and spared no effort to plunder the people's wealth for the Jin father.

Therefore, the Liu Yu family are undisputed traitors and national sinners.

If Li Cun's original intention was followed, Ren Dejing and Liu Yu, especially the latter, would definitely be cut to pieces.

But as an emperor, the biggest taboo is to do things according to his mood, not to reward for meritorious deeds, not to punish for demerits, so that the world thinks that he is not clear about rewards and punishments.In other words, although Li Cun knew that the entire Ren Dejing clan and the entire Liu Yu clan should be killed, and he could strangle the entire Ren Dejing clan and the entire Liu Yu clan to death like ants, but Li Cun could not do this for no reason, especially It was under the circumstances that the two had made great contributions to the city.

in fact--

Li Cun has encountered too many disgusting things like this.

For example, when Li Cun regained the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, Kong Yanzhou not only led a large army to rebel against the Song Dynasty and defected to Qian, but also helped the Qian army to lay down several important forts and passes, which was a great contribution.

But Li Cun knew that Kong Yanzhou did not care about the survival of the country in his eyes. He only cared about his own interests. Every time he encountered danger, he only thought about how to protect himself. In history, in order to gain power, he actually surrendered directly to the Kingdom of Jin. He was named "King of Guangping County" by the Jin people, and he was a complete traitor.

What's even more bizarre is that as his status improved, Kong Yanzhou gradually began to behave randomly, often relying on his own power to bully the local people.Moreover, he was very lustful and forcibly took many beautiful women back to his home. In the past few years, he had robbed countless women, which was really abominable.What is even more unexpected is that one of his concubines gave birth to a daughter. When the daughter grew up, he found that the daughter was extremely beautiful, so he came up with the idea of ​​​​taking his own daughter as a concubine.

Such an idea simply ignored human ethics. Kong Yanzhou was also worried that he would be spurned by people. In order to achieve his goal, he actually came up with a heinous method - he asked his daughter's biological mother to lie and claim that his daughter was not him. biological.

Kong Yanzhou's concubine knew that Kong Yanzhou had some disgusting thoughts, so she was unwilling to say such words even to the death.

Kong Yanzhou was very angry. In order to make his concubine lie, he sent her to the army as a prostitute.

Kong Yanzhou's concubine was tortured and humiliated in the prostitute camp, and finally she could only agree to Kong Yanzhou with hatred.

Finally, Kong Yanzhou finally got his wish and took his biological daughter as his concubine.

As a general, Kong Yanzhou did not want to resist the enemy, but surrendered to the enemy and flattered the enemy for the sake of glory and wealth.As a husband, Kong Yanzhou actually threw his concubine into a prostitute camp for other men to take turns with.As a father, Kong Yanzhou ignored human ethics and attacked his own daughter.

This kind of Kong Yanzhou is not worthy of being a soldier, a husband, let alone a father. He is simply worse than a beast, which really makes Li Cun sick.

But at that time, Kong Yanzhou had not yet turned into such a beast-like demon, and he had also made great achievements.

What should Li Cun do?

Not to mention, Li Cun was really worried about this incident at the time.

Later, Li Cun told Chen Houtong his troubles in a very subtle way.

After hearing this, Chen Houtong smiled slightly, and then said to Li Cun: "If you want to punish a monkey, just let it see Tao'er."

At that time, Li Cun was very suspicious that Chen Houtong was also a time traveler. He had read "Journey to the West", but Li Cun had no evidence.

However, Chen Houtong's idea awakened Li Cun.

Therefore, Li Cun not only did not deal with Kong Yanzhou, but also vigorously promoted Kong Yanzhou and asked Kong Yanzhou to take charge of the military supplies of several major military regions in Shaanxi. He also asked the Wude Division, the pro-military Du Weifu and the Military Intelligence Department to keep a close eye on Kong Yanzhou.

As a result, within a year, Li Cun had the ironclad evidence that Kong Yanzhou's family had sold military supplies.

Li Cun immediately sent people to arrest everyone in the house, and then announced Kong Yanzhou's crime in public, and finally lit Kong Yanzhou's sky lantern in public as a warning to others.

In this way, Li Cun not only gave Kong Yanzhou the end he deserved, but also gained further applause and support from the Shaanxi soldiers. Crucially, Li Cun did not get the reputation of "unclear rewards and punishments."

Li Cun also planned to use this method to deal with the Ren Dejing family and the Liu Yu family.

However, if the small achievements made by the Ren Dejing family and the Liu Yu family in the past were serious, Li Cun could only make Ren Dejing and Liu Yu act as general judges and co-informants. It is a kind of deputy prefect's position, and it is difficult for people in his family to even be officials at the county level.

In such a position, it is really difficult to commit the serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan in a short period of time.

This is not what Li Cun wants.

Therefore, Li Cuncai crossed out the Ren Dejing family and Liu Yu family from the amnesty list, let them worry, and then went to work.

In history, Ren Dejing and Liu Yu were both masters of corruption and perversion of the law, and gained their positions by bribing powerful people.

Li Cun doesn't believe that dogs can't change their ways of eating shit, and they will find a way to make a comeback.

Moreover, in the recent period, many ministers of the Daqian Dynasty should also be punished. They even dared to accept money from Xixia envoys, openly prevented Li Cun from regaining Xixia, and ignored the interests of the country. Such people cannot be retained.

Therefore, Li Cun not only did not grant amnesty to Ren Dejing's family and Liu Yu's family, but also allowed them to go to Beijing to go to the capital, leaving Ren Dejing and Liu Yu alone.

During this period, Ren Dejing and Liu Yu were very busy, bribing the dignitaries and ministers of the Daqian Dynasty in various ways. Liu Yu also bribed officials of the Ministry of Rites to send his two daughters and four clan girls to the draft. Enter the palace.

Seeing that the fish had been caught, Li Cun followed the current. After sleeping with the Queen Mother Ren, he appointed Ren Dejing as the prefect of Quanzhou under the good words of several dignitaries of the Daqian Dynasty. Later, he slept with Liu Yu's two daughters, After four clan girls, Liu Yu was appointed magistrate of Zhengzhou.

As a result, within half a year, the Wude Division, the Pro-Army Governor's Office, and the Military Intelligence Office collected irrefutable evidence that Ren Dejing's family had embezzled at least 1000 million yuan. Moreover, Ren Dejing, who had great ambitions, also bribed the DPRK and China The powerful spoke well of him.

Liu Yu's situation is even more incredible.

Because he was not allocated a rich land that could be connected with the most profitable maritime trade, Liu Yu could only embezzle some project funds for railway and road construction, taxes, and sell public offices to make some small money.

Liu Yu, who also has great ambitions, is of course not willing to keep struggling like this.

Finally one day, Liu Yu caught two tomb robbers and sent people to collect gold and silver treasures from their homes that even Liu Yu sighed.

The two tomb robbers were also smart. They saw that Liu Yu was a corrupt official, so they immediately expressed their willingness to donate all the gold and silver they stole to Liu Yu, and they were also willing to help Liu Yu rob the tomb.

Liu Yu thought this was a good way to make money, so he took in the two tomb robbers.

These two tomb robbers later recruited a large number of tomb robbers to help Liu Yu rob the tomb, allowing Liu Yu to make a lot of money.

But Liu Yu was still not satisfied and felt that the money was still not enough.

This was mainly because some dignitaries and ministers in the Daqian Dynasty were too greedy, and Liu Yu really couldn't feed them.

A tomb robber saw what Liu Yu was thinking, so he said to Liu Yu: "There are mountains of gold, silver and jewels in the Song Tomb in Gongyi. If my husband takes the wealth there, why worry about not being rich enough to rival the country?"

When Liu Yu heard this, he was overjoyed.

In addition, Gong County was under Liu Yu's rule.

Therefore, Liu Yu spent his own money to repair the Song Dynasty mausoleum. He also put money on his face and publicized that he had to defect to Xixia because of the fall of his homeland, and he had to defect to Xixia because of the fall of Xixia. Qian Dynasty, he is not the kind of person who is ungrateful, he always has the Zhao Song Dynasty in his heart, and he has the old master, so he spent money to repair the Song Mausoleum.

In fact, Liu Yu took this opportunity to steal Song Ling.

After finding out all this, Li Cun didn't do anything himself, but asked people to send all the relevant evidence to Li Biao...
