Chapter 52: The Talent of Wang Zuo, Rewards and Punishments
The three counties of Xianwei, Luoshui and Pingchang are scattered around Yangdi, and their chief officials are closely related to the former prime minister Chen Lei.
So a few days ago, Fengtang proposed his plan to use the Xianwei and Luoshui as a breakthrough point to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, thereby intimidating other counties and slowly put Chen Lei in the air.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. The imperial court suddenly came to the envoy and announced that Qin was under the jurisdiction of the King of Qin. Before the plan could be implemented, Chen Lei chose to escape and fell into Jiang Ji's trap.
Due to the changes in the political situation of Qin during this period, in order to calm people's hearts and not cause great turmoil, Jiang Ji only eliminated those close to Chen Lei in Yangdi, and appointed children from various noble families in other places to check and balance the officials from various places with his family's influence in the local area.
Therefore, before they had time to completely eradicate the officials of these three counties, they did not expect that the officials of these three places would be so bold and rebellious.
You should know that treason is a serious crime, and nine clans should be punished.
Those who can become a county magistrate are basically from prominent families, and this behavior is to push their family to the dead end.
"After the three counties conspired to rebel, they gathered three or four thousand soldiers to suppress the county town, and then left about one thousand people. The rest of the troops were planned to gather north of Yangdi to threaten Yangdi."
Jiang Ji asked: "Do you know who connects the three counties? And how do you convince the three to rebel? You should know that this move is of great importance and has a wide range of connections."
"I don't know, but those who can do such a thing are either extremely prestige or extremely strong people."
Although Feng Yu did not explain it directly, Jiang Ji understood that no matter which one it was, the situation should have been extremely bad.
Think about the Sima family, who was born in the Xianwei County Magistrate, was a noble family. There were two people in the current two thousand stones. If you convince these noble families that put family interests first, you can imagine the prestige you need, and you must not be an idle person.
For those with strong strength, Feng Yu refers to the influence of others with cultivation. However, the three people from aristocratic families, regardless of their strength, have cultivation. If they want to influence them without knowing their knowledge, their cultivation level of spiritual cultivation is unfathomable.
However, in any case, the rebellion has been quelled, and even the person who connected him probably did not expect such a result.
Jiang Ji continued to ask: "I don't know who was and how to quell the rebellion?"
Feng Yu asked replies without answering: "Do you still remember the Fengtang?"
"I will remember naturally, is it him?"
Jiang Ji was a little surprised. Although he knew that Feng Tang was indeed very talented, he did not expect that this rebellion would be quelled.
"What's going on? Come quickly."
"promise."
Feng Yu sorted out his thoughts and then said: "Feng Tang was carrying the art of looking down on the air. Before the three counties started, he was a little aware of it. Then he explored all parties and finally found clues. So he ordered Zhao Shuo to secretly summon those who obeyed his orders in Xianwei County to secretly use the Feng family as a cover to secretly gather the people in the city."
"After the rebellion, Sima Lian, the magistrate of Xianwei County, left more than a thousand men and sent his confidants to guard the city, and he himself led the rest of the men out of the city."
"At this time, Fengtang won the support of the Feng family and contacted the local Liang family. The Liang family gathered thousands of private soldiers, plus more than 300 rangers, and took action to regain Xianwei."
"Immediately afterwards, he used Feng, Liang families, and Zhao Shuo's prestige among the Qianshou as his banner. He recruited more than 3,000 righteous men in one hour, totaling more than 5,000 people, attacked Sima Lian's troops, beheaded Sima Lian, and captured more than 3,000 people."
"Next, he divided his troops into two groups and contacted the noble families of Luoshui and Changping. He cooperated with the inside and outside to quell the rebellion."
"It took only two days before and after, and this son is truly worthy of the title of King Zuo."
Faced with Feng Yu's praise, Jiang Ji nodded slightly.
They discovered the rebellion in advance, and then began to make arrangements. The two families of Liang boldly recruited righteous men and sent people to contact the other two places in advance. None of these things was done well would have such a result.
"At this time, there are five thousand righteous men stationed outside Yangdi. Fengtang, Zhao Shuo and others are on standby in Yangdi. Wei Ji and other ministers cannot make up for this matter. If the king does not come out today, I will forcibly break in and notify you."
Jiang Ji nodded to show that he understood.
Fengtang is a feat this time, but he recruited righteous men privately, which was a big or small matter. Jiang Ji also needed to slap the table and decide what to do.
"Since that's the case, go back to the palace quickly."
"promise."
The group soon returned to the Qin Palace.
Because this matter is very important, a court meeting soon began, and the people in power rushed to the palace.
Sitting upright on the throne, Jiang Ji swept over the people in the hall, and then said in a deep voice: "Come to Fengtang and others."
As the order was issued, within a while, Fengtang, Zhao Shuo and others entered the hall.
"Greetings to the king!"
The group was headed by Fengtang, as well as Zhao Shuo, and representatives of prominent families in the three places.
"This rebellion in the three counties is thanks to your loyalty and patriotism and the rebellion is timely quelled, so that it will not cause a major disaster and should be rewarded!"
Originally, the people's lives are not easy now. If the rebels are allowed to take the initiative, many people who cannot survive may have no choice but to follow the thief, and some ambitious people will take advantage of the situation to rob, and those bandits will not miss such a good opportunity. By then, the entire Qin State will be a pile of mud.
So as soon as Jiang Jigang spoke, he set the tone of this matter to prevent some people from having ulterior motives and hurt Feng Tang and others' hearts.
"Fengtang was promoted to the chief minister, Zhao Shuo was appointed as the ruling of the doctor, Liang was also the magistrate of Xianwei County, Yang Kang was appointed as the magistrate of Luoshui County, Zheng Qun was appointed as the magistrate of Changping County, and the rest of the meritorious people were rewarded according to their merits."
The chief is the deputy of the prime minister, equivalent to the county magistrate. Feng Tang became the second-in-command at the county level in one step. No one else has any objection to his contributions.
Zhao Shuo was just a country wanderer, but became a doctor.
This is related to the safety of the palace. The last person who served as the doctor was Bai Yan, who was already a lieutenant at this time, and the King of Qin's trust in Zhao Shuo made some people not speak out openly, although they had any objections.
Others are basically the second-in-command in the county, which is also to use the power of various ethnic groups to suppress various places.
After rewarding merits, we should punish those who rebel.
"Bring the former Luoshui County Magistrate and Changping County Magistrate."
"The criminal Chen Hua (Tao Gui) pays homage to the king."
At this time, the two of them had long lost their previous enthusiasm, their bodies were covered in blood and their expressions were listless.
"Can you know that your previous actions were a serious crime to kill the nine clans?"
"The sinner knows, but this is not the original intention of the sinner. The sinner is bewitched by magic, so I made this big mistake. Just ask the king to surrender the crime to the sinner, and it has nothing to do with the others."
