As for the so-called name of Zhongzhou.

The courtiers are no strangers to it.

Although Yugong is Kyushu in the world, there is no name of Zhongzhou.

Emperor Yao's twelve states, and there are no middle states.

But that doesn't mean that Zhongzhou doesn't exist.

Just like the title of 'China', it has existed since ancient times.

It doesn't take anyone to name and reinforce it.

The ancient kings have always been the kings of China and dominated the world.

And the name of Zhongzhou, as early as the Warring States Period, there were already Yin and Yang family and astrologers in the legend.

Not long ago, when today's most famous Yixue giant, the Japanese Sima Jizhu, released his latest book, called "Heavenly Official Customs".

As soon as this book was released, it was immediately circulated by nobles and scholars.

In this book, the so-called concept of Zhongzhou is clearly put forward for the first time.

According to Sima Jizhu, the first day of the lunar eclipse ...... Where one hundred and thirteen months and again. Therefore, the lunar eclipse, often also, solar eclipse, is not Zang. A, B, beyond the four seas, the sun and the moon do not occupy, C, D, Jianghuai, Haidai also. E, Ji, Zhongzhou, Heji also......

As soon as the book was released, it immediately caused an uproar.

And in the Shilin and Shenzhu worlds, it set off a monstrous wave.

Because, it denies the common sense that a solar eclipse and lunar eclipse is a 'heaven' admonition and warning to the king.

Rather, list the dry goods, cite all the records of solar eclipses and lunar eclipses contained in the history of Zhou Gongzhao and the government, and then tell the people of the world: the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse are not the intention of 'heaven', it is a natural phenomenon and a periodic regular event, similar to the withering of plants and trees, sunset and sunrise.

Many people were furious, and even angry.

But in the end, they could only bow their heads helplessly.

This is because, in today's world, there is no more authoritative astrological and easy-to-learn master than Sima Ji.

The top students let go, how can the scumbags chirp crookedly?

What's more, the data is complete, the dry goods are full, and the records of the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse cited are all well documented.

is a fool, as long as you see the records listed by others, you will know that the eclipse and lunar eclipse are indeed in a cyclical operation.

The one most affected by "Heavenly Official Customs" is undoubtedly the Divine Stick Realm.

Priests and Warlocks, so they had to adjust their deceptive strategies.

But now, the ministers finally knew.

The biggest impact is the DPRK situation.

"Heavenly Official Customs" is a pioneer, and it is a test of public opinion in Shilin today.

The so-called 12 states that followed was the main meal!

If so......

"Today, it is indeed worthy of Taizong's designated heir...... many people slandered in their hearts: "This style of acting is almost the same as Taizong!" ”

Plotting and then moving, good at using combination punches and combos, this is exactly the impression that Emperor Taizong left on his ministers.

Liu Che didn't care about the inner thoughts of the ministers.

He looked at the map.

Originally, he had not thought about implementing the twelve-state system so soon.

In his plan, it was supposed to be the first four borders, the establishment of the four major prefectures, and the completion of the construction of the prefectures, and then the division of states.

However, the actions and actions of the bureaucrats forced him to come up with the state-by-state system in advance.

Because he knows very well that the current trend cannot be stopped and erased immediately.

The impact, then, will be infinite.

It doesn't just affect the present, it changes the future.

Think about it, as soon as the young examiners arrived at the place, they saw that the seniors were busy brushing up their political achievements, and the imperial court was indifferent.

The brushes have been brushed one after another, and those who do not brush cannot be promoted.

In such a situation, will they not brush?

And once they embark on the road of brushing up on political performance, these people will become addicts.

Brush from the beginning to the end.

Ended up leaving a huge mess.

Therefore, this unhealthy trend must be corrected and curbed.

However, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.

From the emperor's point of view, if you do the wind of thunder, you can strike and destroy the brush strongly.

It could cause great national unrest.

As the saying goes, the law does not hold the public accountable.

Even the emperor, in the face of the collective behavior of tens of thousands of bureaucrats, in fact, there are not too many ways.

The front is hard, and Liu Che is rigid.

However, it is bound to set off the biggest major case since Zhulu.

The heads of the people to be killed are rolling.

Even if it is conservatively estimated, tens of thousands of bureaucrats have thrown away their black hats, thousands of people have been exiled, and at least more than 1,000 heads have fallen to the ground.

It will also intensify the contradiction between the emperor who is the ruler and the scholars and landlords below.

It can be said that the gains outweigh the losses.

As emperor, Liu Che always established a political principle: to strike at a small number and unite the majority.

He always knew that he had to gain the majority of support.

Only in this way can we ensure political stability and national order.

What's more, at present, the group of examiners is only dominant in Guanzhong.

Elsewhere, most of the old bureaucratic systems are still in operation.

rashly moved and knocked those bureaucrats to death, who will help Liu Che maintain local rule?

Therefore, Liu Che's choice is to kill chickens and monkeys!

Let's start with Guanzhong, anyway, the number of examiners in Guanzhong has already occupied an absolute advantage at the grassroots level.

Today, there are 53 of the 68 counties in Guanzhong, and more than 70% of the positions are occupied by the examiners.

Taking this opportunity, under the guise of Zhongzhou, to kill the remaining old bureaucrats, especially those at the grassroots level with nepotism, is of course the first choice.

"In Guanzhong, most of them are bound to be happy to see the small number of (old grassroots bureaucrats) unlucky!" Liu Che thought in his heart.

And this Zhongzhou is actually there to crack down on and hold accountable those brushes and local tycoons and corrupt officials.

The same is true of the twelve states.

"I will place the history of the state and supervise the county of the world!" Liu Che looked at the ministers, stretched out his hands and said, "Considering that there is no precedent, I will try it out in Zhongzhou first!" ”

"A member of the history of Zhongzhou, with a rank ratio of two thousand stones, supervising the entire territory of Zhongzhou, except for Chang'an and all the local counties except the mausoleums of the first emperors!"

"The position of the assassin, the order of the emperor, the authority of the false me, the county of Zhouxing, the provincial investigation and the management of the lawsuit, whether the dethroned can be deposed, and the unjust case can be judged, with six questions, if not asked, the magistrate can not be provincial!"

Liu Che said confidently to the ministers: "One: strong sect and right, bullying the weak with the strong, and tyrannical widows with the crowd!" ”

This is the national policy of the old Liu family that has not changed for decades.

We must resolutely crack down on and eliminate the powerful clans in the localities and safeguard the supremacy of state power.

No family or private law is allowed to take precedence over national law.

It is even more forbidden for any family and tyrant to control local politics.

Whoever dares to commit this article will be a liehou, a relative, and he will be killed!

"Article 2: Two thousand stones and magistrates, do not obey the edict, obey the law, betray the public and private, guard the edict and keep profits, invade the fishing people, and gather for traitors!"

This is a sharp blade aimed at the bureaucracy.

Moreover, Liu Che specially emphasized 'obeying the law' and 'guarding the law'.

His attitude, in fact, is to assassinate Shi to help him clean up those brushes.

If we deal with it according to this article, now, none of those brushes that falsely report and misreport data will be able to escape.

However, when the assassin went to handle the case, it was better than the emperor's edict and the three divisions were miscellaneous, and the result was different.

Piercing history, that's my job.

Find problems and deal with them in a timely manner, which is reasonable.

What's more, if it weren't for the particularly bad impact, the brush would generally only be dismissed and let him go home to farm.

In this way, the means are limited to the relatively gentle and moderate normal personnel appointments and dismissals, rather than the political tilt of life and death.

If that's the case, those brushes are still disgruntled and want to make big news.

Then Liu Che would definitely not mind letting the army do it and teaching them how to behave with knives and guns - although in reality, this kind of thing could not happen in Guanzhong, since Liu Bangding was the capital of Chang'an, all the rebellions in Guanzhong were generally suppressed by the local Qiangfu, Youli and even the pavilion chief before the rebels raised their flags.

Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, was such a tragedy that was suppressed by low-level officials.

"Three articles: 2,000 stones and magistrates, from the husband and above, do not sympathize with suspicious cases, use torture violently, illegally extort confessions, torture the people, disturb and violent, strip Li Yuan, arbitrarily apportion, suffer from the people's diseases, landslides and rocks, and bewitch the public!"

This is still a heavy blow to the bureaucracy and the powerful.

Before today, Liu Che had taken back the magistrate's power to execute criminals.

The right to review the death penalty of all criminals has been taken back by Liu Che.

Life and death, in his thoughts.

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Che to care so much.

This kind of recycling is only a nominal collusion by the Son of Heaven.

In fact, now, the general death penalty is decided by the court commander, whether to carry it out or not, and then it can be reported to Lantai for the record.

Only for those big and important cases, Liu Che will personally review the case file, and hand it over to the scholars for discussion, and finally decide whether to approve it or not.

However, although the magistrates have lost the pleasure of being able to kill people at will, they are still very happy when they play torture to extract confessions.

There are perverts in this world who like to torture people.

However, there is no restriction on the extortion of confessions by torture.

This further fueled the culture of arbitrary torture by magistrates.

What should I do if I don't open my mouth when I encounter a suspect? Torture!

What should I do if I don't accept the verdict? Torture!

A certain landlord actually fought against the government? Torture!

Although the punishment of the Han family has abolished corporal punishment, whipping and other punishments can still kill people.

The number of suspects and civilians killed in the lobby in the past four years has been as many as thousands!

And that's just what the magistrate reported.

If there are no reports, I don't know how many there are.

But this is a taboo for Liu Che.

Ordinary people are just ignorant or legally blind, and if they accidentally break the law, you will beat people to death?

And this is unacceptable to Liu Che.

An adult yeoman farmer will provide Liu Che with a poll tax of 120 yuan and a manuscript tax of 20 or 30 yuan every year.

In addition to this, he will serve, and he will spend.

Not to mention, every adult man is now a soldier.

You guys killed like that?

Liu Che definitely won't do it.

As for the arbitrary apportionment and collection of taxes by local officials, it has a long history.

At the beginning, when Liu Che had not yet ascended the throne, Henan County exterminated Liu Che's envoy because Liu Che's envoy found out that they actually received four times a year.

This is still Henan County!

The eastern capital of the Han Dynasty is located, and it has always been directly under the central government.

In other counties, there are probably only a lot more similar situations.

If it weren't for this, with the tax burden set by the Emperor of the Liu family in the last 30 years, how could the common people go bankrupt so quickly?

Do you really think that the land of those big landlords who are in the wilderness is really hard work and hard work to get rich?

Liu Che didn't dare to put an end to this trend.

But they must not be too arrogant and too blatant.

The burden of the people can be less, that is, a little.

Liu Che knows very well that if he really wants to solve this problem, he can't rely on the state and the law alone.

The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?

The same goes for bureaucrats.

This is especially true of landlords.

Human nature is profit-seeking.

For the sake of interests, these guys are not to say that they are exploiting the people and fighting against the country.

Selling the country can also fly.

Wants to make these guys take their claws off the peasants, from the paupers.

The only way is to find them a new target to exploit.

For example, workers and the proletariat......

Otherwise, the country's war and-for-tat confrontation with bureaucrats and local tyrants will never end.

Between each other, it will always be one foot high, one foot high, one foot high, and ten feet high!

If you don't see it, even in the future, it will be in the new century that we will be able to put an end to the indiscriminate apportionment and collection of taxes in the rural areas?

Do you think the bureaucrats suddenly have a conscience?

Hehe.

In fact, it was they who found a better object of exploitation - house slaves.

The mud legs are only a few hundred yuan for half a day, and they have to get into a commotion.

How fast to sell land!

Easily earn tens of millions of billions.

BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi drive casually, and the magnificent building is repaired casually.

Therefore, Liu Che is ready to fight with these guys for a long time.

This is also part of the rules of the game.

It's like a tug-of-war.

The emperor and the central government are at this end, the bureaucratic sovereignty is at the other end, and the small people are the red flower in the middle.

With a little effort from the emperor, the life of the small people will be more comfortable, and the bureaucratic and sovereign nobles will work harder, and their lives will be more embarrassing.

If the emperor let go of the rope, it would be like the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Song and Ming dynasties.

The result, of course, is that the small people howl and cry bitterly, and a large number of bankruptcies.

Liu Che looked at the ministers and continued: "Four articles: two thousand stones and magistrates, elected officials, privately appointed and accepted, appointed in violation of regulations, and promoted indiscriminately!" ”

This is also a stubborn disease, and it cannot be eradicated.

Who doesn't play nepotism?

Even the emperor plays!

Therefore, this matter can only be cracked down on a little, and limited if it can be restricted.

It's always better than not doing it!

"Five: Two thousand stones and the children of the liehou rely on their power and run amok against the law, and they are in the fish and meat town!" Liu Che swept his eyes over the princes and ministers present: "And those who are invited privately, violate the law, and break the law!" ”

To be reasonable, it is normal for the second generation to rely on the power of their father and family to benefit themselves.

Some guys have even made a name for themselves because of it.

Because he took money to do things, Tong Su was not bullied, and he was praised.

For example, the pavilion pottery, the pavilion pottery, the pavilion pottery.

But this is something that Liu Che can't bear.

Power and the country belong to me, and you actually encroach on my power?

Want to do it?

"Article 6: Local officials are arrogant, accept bribes, and discuss state politics in vain!"

Yin knot is strong, this is the target of Liu's attack, there is nothing to say.

But accepting bribes and arguing about national politics made the ministers feel a little sick.

Who hasn't been bribed?

Who hasn't complained about the national policy in private? (To be continued.) )
