When it was just dawn, Liu Che was sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps at the door.

Liu Che immediately woke up and turned over: "What happened?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, something happened ......" Outside the hall, Wang Dao's voice came: "Taichang urgent report: Pinglu and Honghou's children suddenly broke into the Taimiao!" ”

Liu Che's drowsiness disappeared in an instant.

Break into the temple?!

Jongmyo was the most sacred and solemn place of a dynasty in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and even throughout the feudal era of China.

Liu Che remembered clearly that during the Emperor Wu Dynasty, the money for the burial of Taizong Cemetery was stolen.

In the end, it led to a prime minister, a royal historian, a prime minister, and hundreds of heads falling to the ground.

Among them, there is the name of Zhang Tang, who is now Liu Che's confidant.

The Han family even has the saying that the Son of Heaven does not go to the temple, which is equivalent to a non-monarch.

In history, Emperor Zhao died, and Huo Guang greeted Liu He.

In the end, because Huo Guang and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces could not tolerate Liu He and deposed him.

And the excuse for deposing is: the temple is more important than the king, and His Majesty has not seen the high temple, which is not enough to inherit the order of heaven......

Of course, it was the High Temple, the temple of Liu Bang.

This time it was Liu Taigong's Taimiao who had an accident.

Moreover, at this time, the Han family had not yet determined the system that the Son of Heaven must visit the temple when he ascended the throne.

But the status of the Jongmyo at this time is still extremely lofty.

Gai because the Han dynasty advertised that it ruled the world with 'filial piety'.

Under the word filial piety, the mausoleums and temples of the ancestors and ancestors are equivalent to the face of the emperor and the country.

Don't say it's a temple.

It's that there is something wrong with the incense in the Hui Temple.

Above the court, there will be great turmoil immediately.

Sure enough, only a moment later, Wang Dao reported again: "Your Majesty, Captain Sima Men urgently report: The Prime Minister, the Imperial Doctor and the Marquis of Jiuqing in Beijing all took off their hats and knelt down, and thanked them under the Beique City Tower!" ”

Liu Che was already dressed under the service of the maids at this time.

The Han family system, filial piety is the head.

What kind of methods and systems did the emperor use to tell his ministers and the world's scholars that he was indeed a great filial son?

The answer is to establish a system for the inspection and management of ancestral temples under the responsibility of the prime minister and the imperial historian, and under the cross-jurisdiction and supervision of Taichang, Zongzheng, and Shaofu.

Two stories that are clearly recorded in the historical records can clearly prove the existence of this system and system.

The first is that the funeral money in the Taizong Temple Cemetery was stolen in history, and the then Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai and the imperial historian Zhang Tang privately negotiated and agreed to apologize together.

Because the prime minister has the responsibility of 'going to the cemetery at four o'clock'.

When something happens, the prime minister first bears the responsibility of leadership and supervision.

Zhuang Qingzhai's idea is very good.

Pull Zhang Tang, the imperial doctor, the emperor's cronies, and go to apologize together, the emperor probably won't punish him severely, at most he will pass with a haha.

Na Cheng thought, Zhang Tang promised well on the surface, and sold Zhuang Qingzhai when he turned around.

According to the historical records, it is: Nian Du Prime Minister travels to the garden at four o'clock, when thanks, Tang has nothing to do, no thanks.

This betrayal directly caused Zhuang Qingzhai to jump over the wall in a hurry, framed and framed Zhang Tang, causing Zhang Tang to commit suicide.

Of course, Zhang Tang is not good at stubble.

A testament to death, while sending his son Zhang Anshi to Qingyun Road, he also let Zhuang Qingzhai and his gang go to hell together.

The other story is even more representative.

In the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, one hundred and six of the marquis offered to the ancestral temple of the gold catties and fineness did not meet the regulations.

Emperor Wu knocked them all into the dust in one go.

And Zhao Zhou, the prime minister at the time, was even implicated because of this and committed suicide in prison.

These two stories fully illustrate the seriousness and inviolability of the status of the temple in the Han Dynasty.

The money for the burial in the cemetery was stolen, so a prime minister and a doctor were killed one after another.

The gold offered to the ancestors was not of sufficient quality, so one prime minister committed suicide, and one hundred and six marquis were ranked.

Even a piece of the ancestral temple's tiles being blown away by the wind could cause a Jiuqing to bow down and go home to farm.

Even when the flood washed away the bridge of a certain emperor's well-dressed patrol, making it impossible to go out on time, all the officials in charge of local security and management had to go to the Tingwei Prison.

Now someone has broken into the temple where the emperor is enshrined and worshipped.

disturbed the peace of the ancestors.

What should this prime minister, the imperial doctor, and Jiuqing be guilty of?

If you are serious, it is okay to bow down and step down, or even go to prison and die.

Therefore, the reaction of the prime minister, the imperial historian, Jiuqing and the princes is not exaggerated at all.

On the contrary, this is the best choice for the ministers of the Han family.

Because ah, in China, all dynasties, no matter the past, the future, the present.

The so-called law, the so-called system, is really just a joke.

Especially those legal systems for nobles and ministers.

Whether the board was lifted high and fell gently, or was the king angry and bleeding?

It all depends on the emperor's preferences and mood.

Not to mention, in order to make it convenient for him to get off work, Chao Cuo chiseled a hole in the Taimiao.

If you change to someone else, even if you don't get razed by the three clans, at least you have to kill the whole family.

But there is no wrong fart, but it is a punishment that is equivalent to 'recording a major demerit' and 'probation to see the after-effects'.

Now, Chao is wrong to look at the after-effects, and he has already observed the position of the imperial doctor......

As for the afterlife, it is even more exaggerated.

There are countless examples, all of which are telling and educating the people with facts: the law is a ****, and the bureaucrats and bricks can dress up as they want.

…………………………

Half an hour later, Liu Che carried the ribbon and appeared outside the Sima Gate, which was kneeling with ministers.

One by one, the guards, holding torches, took a clear picture of the appearance of the hundreds of ministers and princes present.

All the princes and ministers of more than 2,000 stone in Chang'an have arrived.

Everyone took off their hats and paused, and when they saw Liu Che, they cried bitterly.

"Please punish your majesty and others for the sin!" Prime Minister Zhou Yafu first said: "As the prime minister, the minister is not effective in supervision, which causes Taimiao to be frightened, capital crime, capital crime!" ”

Taichang Dou Pengzu also crawled in front of Liu Che, crying and said: "As Taichang, in charge of the temple and society, the ancestors are disturbed, and the ministers deserve death, please ask Your Majesty to give the law!" ”

The other ministers also bowed their heads one after another: "The ministers have no virtue and cannot support Your Majesty, causing the Taimiao to be disturbed, please surrender Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Che looked at these courtiers, looked around, and then said, "I know everything about this!" ”

"The wrongs of hundreds of officials should be bowed by me, and the world will be chaotic, and I am only one person!" Liu Che untied his Son of Heaven crown, took out the Son of Heaven sword, and cut off a strand of hair on his forehead: "Today, I will replace the crime with hair!" ”

"The sins and faults of all the officials have been replaced by me!"

The temple was disturbed.

And it's the people who run in.

This kind of thing can't be solved with a touch of the skin.

Someone has to shed blood!

And there is blood among the three princes and nine kings.

Even, it must be bled by the prime minister!

But Liu Che didn't want to see the situation of the government and the opposition that he had managed to maintain with great difficulty failing, and he didn't want to see Zhou Yafu forced to commit suicide to apologize!

So, there is nothing to say about learning the wisdom of the old man.

Liu Che showed his strand of hair to the ministers.

Suddenly, countless people cried loudly.

Zhou Yafu was even more moved.

In the eyes of the people of the world, the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not damage it.

Otherwise, it is unfilial!

Now, the most cruel punishment of the Han family is not corporal punishment, not palace punishment, or even cantonment!

It's the so-called torture!

Of course, this was for the nobles of the scholars.

Basically, once a scholar or nobleman feels that he is going to be tortured, then they will definitely do everything possible to seek death.

Because in the eyes of the scholars, the punishment is worse than death!

If you die, you will have no face to see the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs!

And the punishment is actually just a shaved short hairstyle......

For Liu Che, what is shaving his hair?

Before the crossing, he had shaved his bald head......

But the ministers don't see it that way.

In the eyes of these people, when Liu Che shaved the strand of hair in front of his forehead, their hearts were moved and collapsed.

I was moved because I felt that I was really lucky to have such a good son!

The collapse is because the lord humiliated the ministers to death, the deep-rooted feelings of serving the country and the simple concept of serving the monarch Yao Shun made many scholars and nobles unable to accept the emperor's treatment of the ministers.

Liu Che raised his hand and put the strand of hair on Wang Dao's hand, and the latter immediately knelt on the ground, prostrate and respectfully caught it as if he were holding a treasure.

"Taimiao is frightened, the ancestral gods are disturbed, and I will personally fast and bathe in the future, and accuse Taimiao!" Liu Che looked at the ministers and said, "But, now, I want to go to the Taimiao immediately!" ”

"Where is Yu Linwei?"

"Where's Tiger Benwei?"

"Chen Yu Lin Wei Du Lieutenant, Che Cavalry General Zong, Hou Zhao is on standby!" Rows of spears were erected, and Yi was dressed in armor and bowed to the ground.

"Chenhu Benwei Duwei Meng, wait for the king's order!" Ju Meng also came with hundreds of people, fully armed.

"Immediately block all the streets near the Taimiao, and don't let a fly fly out or fly in!" Liu Che decisively ordered: "Order the Commander of Jingfu again, and immediately close all the passages leading to the arsenal and Qili!" ”

"No!" Yi Zong and Ju Meng immediately took the order and left.

In an instant, the gates of the Weiyang Palace opened, and the Praetorian Guards stationed in the Weiyang Palace immediately set off.

"Taimiao, where the ancestral gods are, the crown of the emperor and the god card, are in it, there is no room for mistakes, no one can make a move without my order!" Liu Che immediately issued a second order.

"No!" The ministers did not doubt him, and they all took orders.

This is also the norm.

Although the temple is not as good as the high temple, the temple of Taizong and the temple of Renzong.

However, in the end, it is the temple of the Emperor Taishang.

It is the source of Liu's world.

When Emperor Gao was alive, he still had to be the emperor every five days.

How dare future generations be disrespectful to them?

To put it mildly, even if the flowers and plants in the temple are damaged this time, the Son of Heaven and the ministers will have to take the blame!

Even, in October next year, when sacrificing to the ancestors, the Son of Heaven may have to take off his hat and apologize to Emperor Gao in the high temple!

But no one saw the sneer on the corner of Liu Che's mouth in the dark.

With such a big basket, I'm afraid there is no way to step down in the East Palace!

Think about it, Liu Che, as the emperor, cut his hair to apologize, and the ministers took off their hats downstairs in Beique City to ask for guilt.

The two queen mothers of the East Palace, can they stay out of the matter?

Especially the Empress Dowager, how can she be innocent? Can you be faultless?

Of course, these things can't be put on the table.

It is even less likely to be brought up.

But, whether it's Liu Che or the ministers.

From now on, they all have reasons and excuses to no longer obey the orders of the East Palace.

Donggong himself will also be self-aware.

From now on, if the East Palace wants to interfere in politics, and even call Liu Che over as in the past, reprimand and even admonish, you have to think about today, think about the basket they poked out now!

That's politics!

Killing people is invisible, and seizing power is silent.

In the eyes of outsiders, it may be calm.

But in the eyes of insiders, it is turbulent and turbulent.

"Move the Taimiao!" Liu Che took out the sword of the Son of Heaven and said, "I want to see if the descendants of King Yuan have forgotten the lessons of King Yuan and really want to be chaotic ministers and thieves!" ”

"Zhuqing, and I'm going to cut it down!" Liu Che drew his sword and moved forward.

Suddenly, the ministers all stood up, took off their court clothes, and changed into samurai uniforms.

In their eyes, the descendants of Pingluhou and Honghou have been equated with rebellious ministers and thieves and rebels at this moment.

Disturbing the peace of the ancestral gods is the first sin.

caused the Son of Heaven to cut his hair to replace the crime, and he also had to accuse the Taimiao, which is the second sin.

Implicating everyone, almost losing your head, this is the third sin.

If you don't kill them all if you have these three sins, how can you be worthy of your ancestors, your ancestors, the Son of Heaven, and yourself?

Liu Che boarded the car, stood at the front of the car, and ran in the direction of Taimiao surrounded by the ministers and the army.

Only he knows why things are the way they are.

If he hadn't cut his hair to replace the crime, in the end, the descendants of Pinglu Hou and Honghou might have succeeded.

They cry for the temple, and it can't be said that they are wrong.

In reality, they are on the right track.

Crying in the temple, pouring out grievances and wrongs before the emperor.

As long as they hold out until dawn, the people of Chang'an wake up, the eyes of the people of the world are focused, and the emperor is a little soft-hearted and guilty, he will issue an edict to appease.

It's a pity that they met Liu Che.

They were passively involved in the political struggle and controversy between Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.

So, they became cannon fodder.

Is it wronged?

Of course it's wronged!

But that's politics!

Filthy and dark, disgusting and filthy.

Under the words of Wei Guangzheng in the history books, countless people's weepings and blood and tears were buried.

"If you want to blame, you were born in the emperor's family......" Liu Che's heart was as calm as water: "If you want to blame, blame, you are guilty!" ”

Being born in an imperial family is a sin in itself, and it is naturally normal to be involved in political turmoil and become cannon fodder.

What's more, there are more than 50 cities in the three counties of the Chu Kingdom, and Liu Che is drooling and wants to turn this place into a county, and it is not a day or two.

After the death of Liu Li and Liu Fu, these Yuan princes and descendants are actually like children holding gold in the downtown area, which will inevitably attract countless covetous eyes.

Of course......

The king of Chu Yuan and the king of Chu Yi have meritorious service in the world and have a great legacy.

Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Che to make a dead hand, at most kill one or two leaders.

The rest, at most, are under captivity and house arrest.

In history, Liu Wu rebelled and died, and his heirs were not driven out, which is why.

In the Han Dynasty, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan, was equivalent to Uncle Wei Kang of Zong Zhou.

It is the signboard and face of the country, and no emperor will kill them all.

Even, when this limelight has passed, Liu Che's goal has been achieved, and after a year and a half, Liu Che will pretend to choose one person from the descendants of the Yuan prince and seal it to other places to continue to worship the incense temple of the king of Chu Yuan and the king of Chuyi.
