Chapter 706: The People's Trial
"The Four People's Assembly?"
General Wenchen looked confused.
"Yes, Shinong Industry and Commerce, the Four People's Conference, I think you also know very well that this time the pacification of the rebellion is largely dependent on the people, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world, it is precisely because the first emperor loved the people like a son that the people all returned to the first emperor, so the rebellion immediately attracted the anger of the masses and shouted and beat the city, such as Tang Woxue was wiped out overnight, even if the reverse construction led to foreign enemies for assistance, it was only in vain to make people laugh, and the power of the people can be said to be overwhelmed!"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Those civil and military generals immediately came up with the scene outside the Jinglong Gate in their minds, and the surging crowd instantly overwhelmed the scene of the Jin Army's iron cavalry beating the Gong Gong princes, and then they suddenly had a feeling of chill in their backs.
That's a great way to overwhelm the boat!
What if they were the ones who were overwhelmed by the crowds?
I don't dare to think about it!
Yang Feng looked at their expressions with satisfaction.
"We must make good use of and guide this force so that it will not go on a fork in the road, if such a powerful force is used by some careerists, it will be a big thing, think about the Yellow Turban Red Eyebrows, Wagang Army, Yellow Nest, are all the result of this force out of control, even if there is Fang La in this dynasty! The premise of making good use of and guiding this force is, first of all, that the upper and lower orders will not be isolated from the inside and outside, and the people can make it impossible to know such things as being able to do it anymore.
The people are not fools.
The foolish people have no future, and once the people wake up, they will have to settle the account.
Although the princes of Gon Gon love the people like sons, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty also understand the righteousness, they still need to understand each other after all.
For example, our bureaucratic reform.
We must let the people know, we have to listen to the people's views on this, if there is anything wrong, we must correct it from the good flow, so that we can do the upper feelings, the lower feelings, the internal and external integration, the monarch and the people are united, and jointly build the harmonious and prosperous era of my Great Song Dynasty, otherwise maybe when this Huangchao Fangla and the like will be resurrected, then it will be too late to regret it, I think the princes don't want to end up like the reverse structure, right?
But how to make the upper feelings down and the lower feelings up?
Notice?
Dengwen Drum?
If these were really useful, they wouldn't give birth to Fang La.
Therefore, a more effective method is needed, that is, the Four People's Congress, temporarily convene the representatives of the four people's people in Bianliang City, and jointly form the Four People's Assembly, and then the policies of the imperial court and the opinions of the common people will be carried out through this body, and after the Jin soldiers are repulsed, they can also be extended to the whole country, and the representatives of the farmers and businessmen from all over the country will be elected to Bianliang, so that the love of the officials and the imperial court for the people can go directly to the people, and the voices of the people can also reach the heavens. ”
Yang Feng continued.
He's actually starting with a three-level meeting.
The Estates-General will suffice.
After all, this is the twelfth century, if the steps of this era are too big, it is easy to pull the egg, but a three-level council is still okay, the Great Song Dynasty was not the kind of hierarchical Western Europe in the feudal era, there is no church, and there is no real sense of nobility, the nobility of the Great Song Dynasty is a household of twenty-five salaries, which is essentially an additional title, and it is said that a prince's monthly money is only a few times, and even the imperial power is not really feared.
Zhao Guan's family is not so high!
Zhao Er, when a citizen lost his mouth, the sow dared to beat the drum, but poor Zhao Er was not interested in finding a pig for him, so he had to give him the usual money.
This is the status of the imperial power of the Great Song Dynasty in the people.
When we come to the Qing Dynasty, there is no reason to knock on it, and let's go to the thirty boards first.
To be precise, there were only two classes in the Great Song Dynasty, one was an official and the other was a citizen.
And these two classes are not absolute, but can be mobile, the people can become officials, and officials can also become people, although the imperial examination system is despisable in later generations, but in this era, this is already the best, it at least gives the bottom a channel to rise.
Europe is really hierarchical.
Although there are also farmers, industrialists and industrialists among the people, and there are also high and low in theory, they are very vague.
For example, merchants have the lowest status in theory, but in fact, the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous, and those merchants lived a comfortable life, not only did they not have the restrictions of the imperial examination, but even some people who moved into Beijing to take the examination often carried goods to do business by the way, and the government sometimes invited merchants to participate in the formulation of commercial taxes, not to mention the prosperity of maritime trade in the Great Song Dynasty.
This was almost the dynasty with the highest status of merchants.
And the scholars do have the highest status in theory, but if they can't get into the exam, they are poor, they don't have any privileges, unlike the Ming Dynasty, there is a bunch of preferential treatment, even if they are exempted from military service within three years, the main thing is that they have to prepare for the exam in the past three years, but after three years, they have to go to the Ministry of Rites to take the exam again, if the exam is not good, even this preferential treatment is not there, it is still a poor measure, they and the Ming Dynasty are not at the same level at all, theoretically the Great Song Dynasty even has a show, Screaming Xiucai just thinks that you are knowledgeable in reading, but not because you really have this title.
As for the exemption of the scholars from military service and the exemption of money and food?
Are you kidding!
As for the imperial court?
What about dreaming?
Therefore, there is an essential difference between the scholars of the Song Dynasty and the scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the latter is completely too high in status so he is used to stinky problems, but the scholars of the Song Dynasty have not yet reached the point of being angry and resentful, and even some outstanding talents can be produced, after all, at this time, the gray man has not yet been born, and the gray man was born in 1130, and this is 1127, Song Confucianism has not yet reached the era of science dominance. To a large extent, the Confucian scholars of this era still retain part of the Han and Tang Dynasty legacy of dismounting and writing poems and cutting people, and the Northern Song Dynasty did not die in Confucianism, the Ming Dynasty was, but the Northern Song Dynasty really did not, the Northern Song Dynasty died in those civil officials who unscrupulously expanded their power for themselves, and eventually led to the unscrupulousness of the nobles and lowly civil servants and even in order to keep this pattern, they did not hesitate to come up with a bunch of strange tricks.
For example, to ventilate the enemy for peace.
Therefore, there is not so much hierarchy between the four people of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In this era, there was no artisan household system.
The artisan household system was practiced by the Mongols.
Then it was continued by the Ming Dynasty.
I have to say that Emperor Hongwu is too limited, but after all, he is only an illiterate peasant, and he cannot be expected to reconnect with the original development trajectory of the Song Dynasty after nearly a hundred years of destruction by the Mongols, which led to the destruction of civilization.
Eighty years!
Enough to destroy a lot of things.
The artisan households in the Northern Song Dynasty are only a kind of professional registration on the household registration, and there are indeed various households on the household registration of the government, but only for the convenience of management, and for the convenience of the imperial court when the craftsmen are needed from the people.
In fact, there is no problem for the descendants of craftsmen to be admitted to the jinshi.
Zhao Er has already set the rules, the people of industry and commerce have outstanding people, local can also be recommended, and even monks and Taoists can also be examined, as for the actual operation, it may not be so simple, after all, the literati control the right to recommend may have some black box operations, but that is not a legal problem, in the law craftsmen also have the right to participate in the imperial examination, which is no different from scholars.
In fact, among the four people of the Song Dynasty, it was the peasants who were the most unlucky.
Because of the lack of annexation, there were a large number of tenants, and these tenants were the lowest level, not only to endure the oppression of the gentry or landlords, but also to bear the exploitation of merchants, but the advantage was that the prosperity of industry and commerce could transfer a large number of population pressures.
They can go into the city to earn a living.
Of course, they didn't have a good day in the city.
After all, budding capitalists are not a good thing either.
The soil in front of the door is exhausted, there is no tile on the house, the ten fingers are not stained with mud, and the scales live in the building.
What a vivid words!
Well, this is definitely not talking about modern migrant workers.
Therefore, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the hierarchical differences between both the government and the people and the four people have been very blurred, it can almost be said that there is non-existent, and even the slaves are almost gone, although the universal employment system has not been fully established, but the vast majority of them are already employed, the number of official slaves is very small, and a small number of pure slaves and maids also have human rights, not only the master can not be killed, even their property rights are their own, and there have even been examples of maidservants dying unexpectedly, and the master was convicted and died by the enemy. As for the death of a servant like Zhao Gou, no one cares, this does not mean that the little loli who was killed by him is allowed by the law to be harmed, this is not a problem of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not a big deal for him to kill a few low-level people at his level in any dynasty, he is a special case and cannot be used as a reference.
Such a society is already close to equality.
And such a society can completely let the parliament sprout, not only to let the parliament sprout, but also to let the constitution sprout, but this has to be pushed back, and now the first step is to get this four people's congress out, so that the people can first break the sheepfold around the ruled, but Yang Feng still needs an excuse, an excuse that is not so exciting.
For example......
"And this four-people's assembly is of great use at the moment."
Yang Feng said.
The ministers who had exchanged their ears immediately looked at him.
"Since the counter-conspiracy is pacified by the people, and he is also caught by the people, then it should be dealt with by the people, he is still the uncle of the official family after all, and there is not only one person who participated in the killing of the first emperor, there are many people involved in the first emperor's brothers, they murdered the first emperor, no matter what, they must be killed, but the official family should not stain the blood of their own relatives, let alone so many relatives. In addition to the reverse structure, there are many other Zaifu who are involved in the opposition party and even their masterminds, these people must also be killed, not to kill the spirit of the first emperor in the sky, but the Great Song Dynasty has treated scholars and doctors well since Taizu Taizong, and it is true that they rarely kill Wenchen, so it is not appropriate for the official family to touch the blood of Wenchen, they must indeed be killed, but they cannot be killed by the court.
It is up to the people to do this.
The Four People's Congress elected some people who were familiar with the law to form a court to try and execute the rebel and the party, so as to avoid the blood of their relatives and civil servants on the hands of the officials. ”
Yang Feng said.
"Those, those who are against the party are all killed?"
Liu Tao said with a shocked face.
"Of course kill them all, dare to kill the monarch and seek rebellion, if you don't kill it, it's simply intolerable, if you don't kill it, how can you comfort the spirit of the first emperor in the sky, if you don't kill it, how can you make the emperor rest in peace, kill the two monarchs in a row, heinous and unforgivable, the Great Song Dynasty has been excellent for more than 100 years, and the Wenchen will be able to tolerate this result!"
Without Yang Feng to speak, Liu Yanqing said viciously.
"Liu Gong's words are serious, you can't generalize because of a few black sheep, the vast majority of my Wenchen in the Great Song Dynasty are still loyal, just like Zhang Liu Zhugong, but these dare to kill the two monarchs in a row and betray the country to lead the enemy into the city, it is true that if they do not kill, they can not comfort the emperor and the first emperor, so they must be killed, not only those rebellious ministers, including those who are complicit in the clan, must also be killed. However, those few military generals who were deceived by unknown circumstances, such as Wang Yuan and others, can be pardoned, after all, they are just fulfilling the responsibilities of the ministers after they know the true face of the reverse construction, they will pardon the capital crime and stay in the army to serve! ”
Yang Feng said.
Those generals were praised, and those civil servants looked melancholy.
But they really can't resist.
No matter how they exonerate those captured Wenchen, they can't get rid of their charges of rebellion, and they are still murdering the monarch and rebelling, and they have killed two monarchs in a row, and there has been a palace maid in the palace who survived to confirm that Zhao Gou and those clans and ministers forced the Emperor Taishang to flee to the Jin Army, but they were stopped by King Yue, Sun Fu and He Li, and the Emperor Taishang refused to leave, so they instructed the Jin soldiers to kill the Emperor Taishang and others.
This crime of killing kings cannot be taken off no matter what.
And the crime of killing the king must also be put to death.
"But his family doesn't have to be implicated, right?"
Uncle Zhang said.
"Exile, don't kill his family, but he must also be exiled, exiled to Qiongzhou, whether it is against the clans in the party or the ministers and their families, they will all be exiled to Qiongzhou!"
Yang Feng said.
This criterion is very reasonable.
"The handle of life and death, but the king holds it, how can it be justified to pay the people?"
Li Ruoshui said.
"Then Gong Li is here to preside over the case?"
Wang Zongjun said with a smile.
Li Ruoshui immediately shut up.
Now that the tone of this case has been set, the trial is a formality, and these rebels will be killed no matter how they are tried, and whoever presides over the trial will have to stain the blood of these people, and this is more than half of the civil servants in the DPRK, and no matter which one of these civil servants has countless protégés and in-laws, whoever has the blood of these people on his hands must be prepared to be retaliated against. In the future, he was framed, shot with black arrows on the battlefield, and even killed by thieves in the local area, these are all very likely, not only himself, but also his family may become the target of revenge.
This is not unfounded, this is a bloody example of countless times in history.
Who would dare to be the chief judge of this?
Whoever dares to sign the death sentences of these people must be prepared for the death of the whole family, this is not one or two lives, this is hundreds, and behind each one there is an intricate and complex network of relationships, each of which is not good.
In that case......
"That's it, that's it!"
Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Sima Tank's nephew, Sima Pu, who was originally captured in the Five Kingdoms City in history, said with a straight face.
