13. Inferior hurts me

Before Li Mi and other ministers could react, Du You said, "Your Majesty loves the Party and Qiang as a son, but the Party and Qiang are unfaithful, and do not serve their relatives, and do not respect their relatives, so there is a right imperial camp envoy, and the chief chief Gao Yue went to Qingzhou to punish His Majesty in place of punishment..."

"There should be severe punishment, but it should be educated, and it should not be a slave." Jia Dan refuted Du You.

"I heard that 'there are few people who are filial and brotherly, and who like to offend the superiors'. From this point of view, the party and Qiang can be said to be unfilial and unfaithful, which is a great rebellion. I also heard that 'The five punishments belong to 3,000, and the crime is greater than unfilial'. From this point of view, just matching the Qiang people to the evil and seizure is already a great lenient for Your Majesty. You really can't find a slight punishment for this." Du You's refutation was like a cannon.

At this time, Taichang Qing Bao Fang joined the "war group" and told Du You that no matter how serious the crime was, the person who killed them was the culprit. Ordinary people from the Party and Qiang were just for some chiefs, and they should not be all not for official slaves.

Du You immediately flew over and refuted Bao Fang: "In the Band and Qiang, the leader of the tribe, once the blood and feud were the match, women and children would fight, and the same is true for rebellion. You have read poetry and books, but don't you know that in the Spring and Autumn Gongyang Zhuan, you once said, 'The king and relatives have no generals, and the generals will be punished'? Since it is a rebellion for the tribe, how can there be no reason for not being in charge?"

Bao Fang was speechless immediately. The so-called "the king and relatives have no generals, and generals will be punished" means that when dealing with kings or grandparents, parents like "close relatives" cannot even have the intention to murder them. Once a small sprout occurs, they must be punished. This is what "the heart can be punished".

After all, no one can guarantee that the old, young, women and children inside the Dangxiang rebelled in the East Mountain were all "in the Cao camp and in the heart of the Han Dynasty". Now it seems that the emperor issued an edict in advance, saying that when quelling the rebellion, there were no killing and harming the Dangxiang women and children, which was all hypocritical. If there was any real meaning included, it was "Don't kill my official slaves randomly."

This may be the first time that Li Mi was at a disadvantage with the emperor. He held the elephant scepter and really felt that he was old and exhausted. He could not find any reason to resist the emperor who was in his prime and stubborn.

This prime minister in the mountains who believed in the way of the times felt that the torrents and rivers of the times had quietly deviated, and that his personal abilities could not be reversed.

Dou Shen wisely retreated and avoided the arguments he thought were completely meaningless.

The emperor immediately made the decision. He issued an edict to all the men and women of the Dongshan Mountain captured this time in the workshop, and 10,000 of them were levied to the "Shenci" of Guangzhou Prefecture. Of course, Du You wanted to pay the money to the court. Each Qiang slave who served as a frosting household required a section of water training (white silk cloth, priced at two chunks, in fact, it was more about opening a hole to endorse the imperial court for publicly selling slaves), and another 10,000 were levied to the Fengxiang Prefecture "Cotton Planting" and 5,000 were levied to the Royal Shaofu Supervisor, and the rest were concentrated in Pengyuan, Ningzhou, and all the materials were distributed to the soldiers who went to the expedition. The emperor's words were all in one word and there was no joke. He immediately wrote a letter and appointed Huo Zhongtang, appointing the Daying Qionglin Neiku to be the "Ningzhou Military City Order" and rushed to Pengyuan to engage in this matter immediately.
