Chapter 568: One Million Exile

Piao Tianwen     "I must be fierce in governing troubled times!" In the silent Wenhua Pavilion, Chen Kefu said sternly with a solemn face.

"For hundreds of years, the aristocratic tyrants have relied on their countryside manors in the countryside, and the forts are completely disobeying the court's discipline, just like a country outside the world. They have robbed them, annexed land, bullied the villages, and oppressed the people. They have robbed taxes, concealed the population, and even hoarded private weapons. When the court changes, they immediately jumped out to stir up trouble and even corrupt the court's principles. If we can be honest, I can let them go. But this time the court just borrowed some food from them and cleared some land they robbed them of robbery, and they immediately took over the people and armed the army to rebel."

"This is tolerant, who is tolerant?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Chen Kefu thoughtfully and had already roughly understood Chen Kefu's thoughts.

In short, the court cannot tolerate the existence of such a country under the rule of the court. The previous actions of these powerful families have already made King Chen suppress and weaken them. This time, the borrowing of grain and clearing fields was exactly the case, but the reactions of the aristocratic families were too fierce and they actually rebel.

In this way, it gave the court a huge opportunity, although it would cause harm to the court in a short period of time. However, in terms of the long-term interests of the court, this is a great opportunity to eradicate them in one fell swoop and completely eliminate this accumulated ills.

After understanding Chen Kefu's meaning, Fang Xuanling quickly and carefully calculated it in his mind and immediately developed a general strategy.

He said respectfully, "Your Highness, I agree with Your Highness's intention. It is not enough to use heavy rituals in troubled times. If it is not like this, it is not enough to intimidate the villain, nor is it enough to stabilize the place. However, the previous strategy of Shangshu Du was a bit too harsh. I believe that this rebellion was a crime in the powerful families with ambitious aristocratic families, and most of the people who were abducted by rebels were just forced. Therefore, I think that the court should treat the court differently, both to punish the front and to cover the back. It is necessary to eliminate those who have different intentions, and to leave an extra chance for most ordinary people."

Chen Kefu smiled at Fang Xuanling with appreciation. It was really good to understand his thoughts so quickly.

"With the intention of the right servant, how should the court deal with these aristocratic tyrants and ordinary people who are abducted by others?"

"I suggest that all the heads of the rebellious aristocratic tyrants and those who hold ranks or above in the rebels will be punished for the crime of rebellion and beheaded on the spot and displayed on the public. All their property will be confiscated. The relatives within three generations will be revoked to exile and will be exiled to Weizhou for land reclamation and farming for grazing."

"All the powerful clans whose children from families participated in the rebellion were confiscated, and all clan members were exiled to Luozhou, which had just been changed from Ranmoro Island (Jeju Island, South Korea. It was the time of the savages. It was just captured by the Hailong Guard and changed it to a prefecture, with two counties and four counties under the jurisdiction of two counties and four counties)."

"As for the people who are abducted by the rebels, they must also be dealt with separately. Anyone who is a powerful aristocratic family who has been slaves from generation to generation will be exiled to Weizhou and Luozhou. If anyone who holds rebels will be beheaded and their families will be exiled. The rest of the people who are abducted by the rebels will need to move their families to Yanzhou, Liaozhou and Haizhou."

Chen Kefu pondered for a while, "For rebellious aristocratic tyrants, only killing the backbone of the rebels, but instead of killing them, it is indeed a good way to exile. Stop killing is not the best strategy. Exile Wei and Luo states can also enrich the desolate two states, which is indeed the best strategy. But you cannot be careless. For exiled aristocratic tyrants, the exiled clans must be disrupted and dispersed. Do not let them be exiled together, and after exiled, the Wei and Luo states must be more custodians to prevent them from doing anything more. If there are any escapes and those who cause rebellion, the local garrisons will be killed without mercy."

"The people who participated in the rebellion were exempted from punishment and moved to Liaodong instead. I agreed. However, these people cannot be considered exile. After they are moved to Liaodong in western and western Liaodong, they will be disrupted and scattered into various counties and counties. The local official, Baozheng and Jiazheng will be supervised, and they must be distributed to the land according to the equal land system."

"Your Highness is kind!" Mao Xi, Wei Zheng and others disagreed with the result. They also understood that this matter was no longer a mere rebellion, but was related to the interests of the court and local aristocratic tyrants. At this time, Chen Ke took a step back, which was much lighter than Du Ruhui's great purge, and they also stopped as soon as possible.

Fang Xuanling was relieved when he saw Chen Kefu compliment. He was not old, but he was in the second position. I don’t know how many people were staring at him. He was also cautious in the court and followed Chen Kefu’s pace.

"Your Highness, I also have a proposal. In order to prevent the recurrence of aristocratic rebellion in the future, I believe that after the court defeated the rebels in various places, it should immediately order the destruction of all the forts. It will be demolished and replaced by the county, city, and courts in various places, and can be used for construction and primary schools in various places. Not only that, the court should not underestimate those aristocratic tyrants who did not participate in this time. It should be ordered to demolish the forts, and count all the hidden population and register them."

"In addition, it can be ordered to move all the powerful and wealthy families in various places to move into the capital to enrich the capital. In this way, if they are placed in the capital, the imperial court will monitor it, and it will inevitably be impossible to have another chance to cause chaos. Not only will the capital be enriched, but it can also eliminate local tyrants and powerful forces in one fell swoop and the imperial court will take over the local area again."

Moving wealthy households into the capital is something that they would do when the dynasties began. First, after the chaos, the capital was sparsely populated, and moving wealthy households into the capital can enrich the capital. Second, moving wealthy households from all over the country into the capital, the local powers will inevitably be weakened accordingly, which will be conducive to the smooth management of the local area by the court.

This time, the court dug such a big pit and pulled most of the aristocratic tribes into the water and caught them all in one go. But there were still some who did not cause trouble, not because they were loyal to the court, but because some people were clever and wanted to wait and see again. It was precisely because of this that they escaped this disaster. However, now is the perfect opportunity to weaken the aristocratic tribes, so how could Chen Kefu stop halfway.

"Okay, I agree with the proposal of the second prime minister, so I will handle it. In addition, the court will soon open county schools and county schools in various places, which requires a large number of well-educated people. These aristocratic tyrants have always had the tradition of governing the classics, so the court ordered the recruitment of brothers from remote families and transferred to various county and county as teaching teachers. County school teaching can be regarded as a ninth rank, and county school teaching can be regarded as a ninth rank. Anyone who has been teaching in each county for more than five years can obtain the qualification of the Ministry of Personnel's Selection, and those who perform well can be selected as official officials of the court."

Since they have hit these aristocratic tribes hard, they must be appropriately appeased. Pull them out as teachers, to solve the lack of teachers in the court, and to arrange these aristocratic tribes to prevent them from doing nothing all day.

However, although Chen Kefu seems generous on the surface, and arranged them as teachers, he would have the grade of nine grades and nine grades. But in fact, this grade is only regarded as the treatment, that is, he is not a real court official. Only after he has been taught for five years can he be qualified to participate in the Ministry of Personnel assign officials first, but at that time, whether to choose or not is another matter.

Immediately, the Provincial Department of Neishi drafted an edict, the Provincial Department of Menxia reviewed it, Chen Ke reused the seal, and the imperial edict on the handling of aristocratic rebellion was quickly issued to the hands of generals from all over Hebei.

Li Benlei was the first to receive the edict. After receiving it, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately ordered that according to the edict, thousands of children of aristocratic clans were beheaded on the spot, and heads piled up into a mountain of heads.

Starting from Lujiabao, among the four counties including Yuyang, one strong fort after another that had been built by aristocratic families for hundreds of years was destroyed, and all the food and property had been confiscated. The relatives of the rebellious aristocratic clans who had not been beheaded were also imprisoned in the temporary prison camp in Yuyang.

A stormy purge was first launched in Yuyang, with heads cut off and forts destroyed. One by one, the powerful families of aristocratic families were conquered, and countless powerful people from the past became the ones who were in power in prison, waiting to be exiled to the Weizhou grassland in the north and the Luozhou in the east.

There are also many people who are found guilty and are also worried. They are ordered to exile to Weizhou and Luozhou. When they are sued, they are to be moved to western Liaoning. The hidden families of the powerful clans in Liaodong and the tenants, and the tenants, have breathed a sigh of relief. Although they have to leave their hometowns when they go to Liaodong, Liaodong is no longer a bitter and cold place in recent years. When talking about Liaodong, it will only make the people of Hebei yearn for it. Being able to leave this chaotic Hebei, go to Liaodong and western Liaoning, and be able to equalize the land, the people are faintly excited and happy.

Among all, the most complicated and uneasy person in their hearts may be the powerful people of the aristocratic who did not participate in the rebellion. They were also ordered to give up the fort, to be cleared for the land, and to clear out the hidden population. They also had to move their clans to Youzhou, the capital of the capital, and their hearts were filled with anger and unwillingness, but they could do nothing.
