Section 767 Weak Bureaucracy (1)
Liu Che took another step forward and said: "I heard it, the past, Yao Shun banished the flesh and bones, and the Duke of Zhou punished Cai, and the world is called a saint!" Who? Don't harm the public with your own interests! ”
Shang Shulang in the hall, a fast pen record.
This paragraph is also correct, and it can't be more correct!
Since ancient times, if you want to kill or punish the princes and kings of the clan, at the beginning of the edict, it is inevitable to mention the matter of Yao Shun's exile of his own heirs.
As for Zhou Gong's punishment of Cai, it was recorded in the history books and was praised through the ages.
"The kings and ministers of Jinan are light, there is no way, they are above their people, they are violent to their gentry, and the ministers are all saying: The kings and ministers of Jinan are light, mediocre and unreasonable, and they should be punished by law! King Liang and the princes of the clans also said: Jinan is faint, and you can't worship the temple! ”
"Shiyun: both clear and philosophical, in order to protect his body. Sleepy night bandits, to do things alone. ”
"Today, the kings of Jinan are not clear in poetry and books, and they are not clear in the way of people!"
"With its tyranny, the cruelty of its people!"
Speaking of this, Liu Che paused for a moment, then raised his voice and said, "Its sin is not enough to write about the bamboo of Nanshan; Pour the water of the East China Sea, and the evil is hard to wash! The so-called, it is tolerable, which is unbearable! ”
"He ordered the court lieutenant to strictly investigate it, and if there is a crime, if there is a vicious investigation, if there is a wrongful investigation, if there is a grievance, there will be a grievance!"
As soon as this passage came out, the ministers were shocked.
Back then, the princes and heroes destroyed Zhu Lu, and they never scolded Zhu Lu like this.
In the world of public opinion, no matter how much they spurned the Qin Dynasty, they did not belittle Qin to this point!
The bamboo of the South Mountain is poured out, and the water of the East China Sea is poured out......
Many people were stunned to find that their own son of heaven. It turned out to be a big troll who was hidden.
This is a powerful man, and the giants of all schools of thought think it. In front of the Son of Heaven, he is still too young!
But. More people's hearts are beating the drum.
Since Liu Piguang has been recognized by the Son of Heaven as the worst villain in the world.
Zhu Lu, Tyrannical Qin, and the bastard who beat the horse are not as good as Liu Piguang.
Then, Liu Piguang is certainly going to 'die innocently', and the people of Zhangqiu rise up to resist Liu Piguang, and naturally they may also be whitewashed!
You know, what did the Liu family rely on?
The answer was a peasant uprising.
After Emperor Gao Liu Bang moved the capital to Guanzhong, the first thing was to raise the army. The second thing is to order Xiao He to build two palaces in Weiyang and Changle, and the third thing is to issue an edict for Chen Sheng to set up thirty households to guard the tomb in Dangqi, and its tomb number is: The Tomb of King Chen Yin.
This, to a certain extent, can illustrate Liu's views on the peasant uprising.
What's even more troublesome is the tomb of Chen Sheng. Although it has gone through decades of ups and downs, so far, the emperor of the Han family still sends envoys to check it out. Sacrifice, offering blood food.
Every year in winter and December, Chen Sheng's death day. He will also send Taichang officials to Chengfu County, where Chen Sheng died in battle. Perform a sacrificial ceremony for it. (Note 1)
This matter, although it is done very low-key. However, in the DPRK and China, everyone who pays attention basically knows it.
The Han family has never been afraid to discuss and analyze the reasons for the success and failure of Chen Sheng's Wu Guang uprising.
Even, many ministers in the court were able to become officials by analyzing the causes and consequences of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising for the emperor.
Over the past few decades, the emperor of the Liu family has analyzed the gains and losses of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and the previous dynasty very thoroughly.
Therefore, many people are worried that the Son of Heaven will wash the people of Zhangqiu, especially the initiators.
Although everyone knows that if they do this, the old Liu family will be able to buy a wave of people's hearts again.
Anyway, the old Liu family has never been stinky!
Back then, Emperor Taizong, in order to gain prestige, I don't know how many double reed plays he sang with Zhang Shizhi.
These things are not understood by others, but the nobles and lords who have been watching from the sidelines still don't know?
Think about it, in order to buy the hearts of the people, Taizong can do without the shelf and face of the dignified emperor.
Today, today, the so-called 'Taizong's designated prince of the next generation', is ordered by the heavens, and the son of heaven who has a long life and eternal prosperity, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not learn Taizong's old skills!
What's even more terrifying is that this person does have the capital to do this today!
He is the only one after the Three Kings who has proved that he was appointed by Heaven.
The people of the world, the nobles, the princes and kings, all can only choose to be in front of him, throw themselves to the ground, with the most respectful attitude and the most humble etiquette, and sincerely sacrifice their loyalty, youth, talent and even life!
Could it be that there are still people who dare to say no to this son of heaven?
Isn't that a sin against heaven, and there is nothing to pray for?
Suicide is better than this!
In such a situation, today, it is natural to sit back and relax.
There is no need to worry that the people will oppose him, or even rebel against his rule by force.
In the past three years, the edict of the Son of Heaven has arrived, and in the county and township pavilions, all of them have burned incense and prayed, and then knelt happily to welcome the destiny of heaven!
But......
"Your Majesty, you can't do this!" Countless people shouted in their hearts.
It's wrong that now this is the solemn and sacred Xuanshu Palace, and there may even be people who pounce on it, want to hug Liu Che's thigh, and beg bitterly.
Why?
Because, the lesson of the Taizong Dynasty tells everyone a truth: when the emperor pretends to be forced, the emperor can certainly go crazy to brush up his reputation, don't want it.
But the courtiers will suffer!
The so-called emperor moved his mouth, and the courtiers broke their legs!
If it's something else, everyone can still hold their noses and endure it.
But this thing is absolutely not okay!
The people of Zhangqiu, pardon is OK!
But the first rebel must die!
Use their deaths to warn the world: Diao people, don't be arrogant, whoever takes the lead in rebelling against the master and me will die!
However, Liu Che ignored the looks and tangled expressions on the faces of these ministers and nobles.
He took a step forward on his own.
"Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted!" Liu Che looked at these people, these guys who were still scruples and worried yesterday, and were still thinking about trying to use euphemistic means to win them over.
This can't be blamed on Liu Chechao's order to change!
It was the performance of these guys that made Liu Che find out.
They are not even as good as a paper tiger!
Paper tiger. If you look at it from afar, it can still be intimidating.
But. These guys, even if Liu Che watched from afar. You can also smell the rotten stench and weak bones that emanate from them!
In that case, then what else is there to say!
Everyone else has knelt down for you, do you still need to think about how to convince him?
No need anymore!
Over the ages, imperial power and vassal power have also experienced similar situations.
When the emperor discovers that his ministers and nobles are nothing more than that, just some scary paper tigers, the imperial power will be inched in and swelled wildly. The legendary story of beating the bureaucrats and nobles of the whole world with one person has been staged more than once or twice in China.
The most typical, such as Qin Shi Huang, Han Gao Han Wu, and Zhu Baba.
The best of these heroes, without even stretching out half a hand, have turned the world's bureaucratic nobles into dogs.
And the same thing. If the emperor was discovered by the ministers and nobles that this was a soft egg, a scum who shrank his eggs at the slightest start, then everyone would not be polite.
Playing with the emperor between applause, or even as a joke or puppet. Abolish it at will, such stories have never been heard endlessly.
As for the so-called bureaucrats pulling back. Trouble.
Liu Che was really worried before.
After all, the examples of Yang Guang and Wang Mang are there.
The bureaucrats are determined to destroy the world. There is a way.
However, in the present day. Liu Che is no longer worried.
Because, Liu Che discovered a very magical thing.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Yang Guang and Wang Mang did die from the bureaucrats' troublemaking and pulling back legs, and the yang and the yin violated the above.
But......
If you look carefully at the history books, before Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo, before Wang Mang made the people's livelihood in the world wither.
What kind of status are these two?
If Liu Che is not mistaken, then the first person to be revered as the 'Heavenly Khan' should be Yang Guang?
As for Wang Mang?
O living saint of Zhou Gong!
The landlords, literati and bureaucrats unanimously touted him, believing that he was really the savior of the world, the savior of the people, and the king of the destiny of heaven!
Even the members of the Liu clan's clan accepted their fate.
Obviously, if Wang Mang's reform succeeded, it would have achieved miraculous results, just like Shang Ying's reform.
So, will Wang Mang be scolded for 10,000 years?
In the same way, if Yang Guang had gone on an expedition to Goguryeo, he would not have fought three times at all, and he would not have the brainless Yue Yu to command indiscriminately.
The army of the Sui Dynasty went straight to Korea and destroyed Goguryeo.
So which emperor will Yang Guang be?
I'm afraid that he is still the master of the world, the father of the heavenly khan who is respected and licked by the whole world.
For a specific example, please refer to Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian didn't just hang up the Shandong Shi clan gate lords and beat them?
It's like asking them to pose an S-shape and an M-shaped one.
These undisciplined guys can only lie under the phoenix feet of this queen of heaven, the holy queen, and the great emperor of heaven, and shout: Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live.
These two stories fully made Liu Che understand.
The bureaucracy and the noble class are a bunch of scum who bully the weak and fear the hard.
They would never dare to jump out and make trouble when the dynasty was at its peak and the monarchy was strong.
They have and only dare to jump out and embarrass you when they see the problems of the world and the trend of decay of the dynasty.
In other words, as long as Liu Che can guarantee that he will go from one victory to another.
Then, all the dissatisfaction, all the dissatisfaction, they all have to obediently hold it in their hearts, and they don't even dare to complain in private!
Even, they have to work diligently for Liu Che, kneeling and licking, and patting horses.
Of course, they can also choose to study Wang Ling and Zhou Chang, go home and study behind closed doors, and don't ask about world affairs.
However, Wang Ling Zhou Chang was unwilling to serve Empress Lu, Zhou Bo Chen Ping, and Fan Hao were particularly interested!
In this world, three-legged toads may be difficult to catch, and two-legged officials are still difficult to find?
There are people who are willing to take the place of those scum.
On the contrary, the emperor took care of the rights and interests of the bureaucrats in every way, even if he did everything according to the will of the bureaucrats.
Will they really work hard for the emperor and be loyal ministers?
Hehe!
Open the history books, Chongzhen's close-up tragedy can be understood immediately. It's a dream!
Since the bureaucrats and magnates, no matter what the emperor does to them. As long as the emperor can guarantee that he is always on the road to victory, they can only kneel and lick.
So. Why care about them?
Moreover, as Liu Che said.
Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers are not wasted.
Now, the old bureaucrats and the old aristocracy in this court, in the near future, those among them who cannot keep up with the development of the times and the changes in the situation will be eliminated.
The new examiners and the new military nobles are bound to replace them.
They will be like the countrymen of Zong Zhou, the princes, and the nobles and bureaucrats who have disappeared in the long river of history. In the tide of history, it was smashed and swept into the mud.
In that case, why be polite to these scum who will be out of breath sooner or later?
Liu Che pondered for a moment, and then said: "Zhangqiu Shimin, because of righteous indignation, or because of Jinan's exploitation, was desperate, so he rose up. I'm very good! His pardon the people of Zhangqiu are righteous! Since the edict of pardon to the day, the people of Zhangqiu should obey the edict of me, disarm and return home. Those who do not obey the edict are regarded as bandits and disorderly people. Everyone in the world can get it and punish it! ”
Forgive the people, too, it is inevitable!
back then. The Confucian students in Ludi also shouted that they wanted to wear filial piety to Xiang Yu. Refuse to obey the rule of the Emperor of the Han family!
As a result, in the end, didn't Liu Bang also collect his troops after Confucianism knelt down, and didn't kill anyone?
There was also the rebellion of King Jibei, didn't Emperor Taizong also pardon all the rebels and only kill Liu Xingju's family?
This kind of gentle method has always been Liu's forte.
Of course, the emperor's order has been issued, and he still occupies the county seat and resists the rule, that is Chiguoguo's confrontation with Liu Che.
Such a person, of course, can only be 'innocent of death'.
"As for the people who initiated it, such as Wang Anda and others, ......" Liu Che paused and said to Shang Shulang, who was in charge of recording the edict: "I have heard that the elders in the township said: The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!" Honestly! Jinan has no way, the tyrannical people, the king of Zhangqiu, Anda, etc., have justice in their hearts, hide the community in their hearts, and resolutely rebel against the rebellion without their own selfishness, but with a righteous heart.
Poetry is not cloudy: the gentleman of Kai, the parents of the people.
Wang Anda and other righteous sons, I am very happy!
He took Wang Anda as the county lieutenant of Zhangqiu County, and from the date of the edict, he came to Chang'an and enrolled in Gantang. ”
As soon as these words landed, the ministers were almost a little caught off guard.
Some people even fainted on the spot.
Instead of punishing these first rebels, the Son of Heaven rewarded them?
What is the rhythm of this?
Countless people immediately remembered that back then, Taizong and Zhang Shizhi sang the first double reed: at that time, countless people immediately ran to Tingwei to avenge their grievances, and then, including the Marquis of Heyang, the six princes and ministers of the official family collapsed.
In China, the common people are both simple and cunning.
They are said to be simple because they are honest and easy to bully, and they are said to be cunning because if they see a little hope, they will persevere all their lives to find that hope.
In the past, the bureaucratic aristocracy, to a greater or lesser extent, used to oppress the common people.
Anyway, this kind of thing, everyone is doing.
And at no cost!
However, after the edict of the Son of Heaven is issued, the situation will be completely changed.
Many people know that from now on, if they want to be the same as in the past, they have to be more leisurely.
Although this edict could not change the fate of the common people and peasants, it was still enslaved and exploited by them.
But at least, the common people have a basis, and the aristocracy and bureaucracy have one more taboo.
In the future, there will be no more bastards who will dare to blatantly oppress, make things difficult, and exploit the people.
Even if there were, they would pay attention to a lot.
After all, no one wants to be pulled down by a bunch of mud legs like Liu Piguang, the king of Jinan, and then be said by the Son of Heaven to be 'the bamboo of Nanshan Mountain, whose crimes are difficult to write; Pour out the waters of the East Sea, and its evil will not be washed' wicked eggs.
Countless people want to protest, they want to argue, they want to stand up and shout: Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!
But how to protest, how to argue?
If you can't tell the truth, then what kind of person will you become?
Not long ago, the ceremonial doctor who was dragged out like a dead dog made people feel shocked!
And the fate of those guys who opposed the Son of Heaven in the past was even more miserable, which made people feel shocked.
After ascending the throne today, he first invented 'the reason why they love Yidi is just so that they don't love their fathers and neighbors', so that countless virgins and little freshness instantly stinked on the street, so that today, there is no longer even any voice in the court calling for concessions to Siyi.
Everyone is competing to see who is more angry than whom.
Later, the miraculous disease of 'being mentally ill' was invented.
Yang Xinhou Liu Zhongyi is still receiving 'treatment' at the Tai Yi Department.
But no one wants to be forced to go to the Imperial Medical Department for 'treatment' like Liu Zhongyi. (To be continued.) )
PS: Wait!
Note: According to the records of the Chen Shi family, after Chen Sheng was killed, he was buried in Dangshan and was called the hidden king.
After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he issued an edict to arrange thirty households for Chen Shi to guard the mausoleum, especially Sima Qian, who mentioned a sentence in which 'blood food is still eaten and sacrifices are endless', which shows that at least when Sima Qian wrote the historical records, the Han Dynasty officials were still maintaining and managing Chen She's mausoleum, and gave sacrifices every year.
