1706 Doomsday Confession
Hunchun once heard Sister Wu gossip about a sentence that made him remember it vividly, she said how can a dynasty be regarded as the end of the world? It is to make all good people unable to survive, this is a typical doomsday luck. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Hunchun felt the same way, of course he didn't want the Qing Dynasty to be finished, but he knew very well that there were really good people in the current officialdom who couldn't survive.
Corrupt officials and clean officials have been two kinds of forces since ancient times, and because of human nature, it is naturally easier to accept the concept of corruption than to accept the concept of honesty.
A dynasty is emerging, and the society is in a recovery period after experiencing the war, at this time, the people and officials have a deep terrifying memory of the previous troubled times, because they are afraid that they are unwilling to let their lives and those of their descendants return to that era, so the officials at the beginning of the dynasty, you don't need to talk nonsense, they are naturally more timid, and it is easier to learn well.
No one dares to say whether he is a capable minister, but at least he is a trembling honest man, at most he takes advantage of the public family and something, you really let him sell his official beard, but he really doesn't dare to go to prison.
Just be honest, and if the officials are restrained, the people will know that they will be grateful, and they will be able to live a good life for a few days.
And with the passage of time, the dynasty began to enter the maturity period, at this time the old people gradually died, those who have seen the troubled times of the people and officials are less and less, the peaceful days for a long time people naturally a little ignorant of awe, full of food must want to drink and wealth, at this time the courage of the officials will gradually increase.
But fortunately, the first three or four generations of emperors of a dynasty are basically still promising, and their luck is still in the Holy Monarch and Famous Ministers, and when they come to a few big prisons, the officials can also be restrained.
At this time, officials began to consciously look at gangs, especially corrupt officials need to form gangs in order to protect themselves, but at this time, most of the officials are corrupt within their own positions, and they dare not destroy their humanity too much.
For example, when the imperial court ran a river project, he embezzled some money from the river, or repaired the city wall, and he embezzled some materials from it, and this kind of corruption was relatively hidden, and ordinary officials and a few cronies made some money by making false accounts.
If there are colleagues who can't get around, most of them are bought with money, and the interests are all lost.
This was characteristic of official corruption after the middle of the dynasty.
And the end of the dynasty, but it is outrageous, hundreds of years have passed, the memory of the founding of the country has long been forgotten, the social development of the population has grown greatly, and the wealth has been hoarded for hundreds of years, at this time the streets of every city are flowing with the light of silver taels, are filled with the smell of money.
At this time, people have been completely obsessed with material desires, arrogance and lasciviousness have become the norm, and the wind of comparison that people only see is growing day by day.
At this time, the officials were not as cautious as they used to be, and the bureaucracy, after hundreds of years of recuperation, had the strength to compete with the imperial power.
In this period of the dynasty, it is very common for the emperor to decree that he does not leave the Forbidden City, and there are ways for the following people to deceive the emperor. The embezzlers colluded with each other to form factions, and ruthless people began to flood the court.
At this time, the Qing officials basically have no way to live, because if you want to be alone, you can't stand your position, and you will block the way of others, and cut off people's wealth like killing your parents.
At first, they will use money to buy you, but once they find that you don't accept this set, then the corrupt officials will definitely not be polite to you like their predecessors, or go around you, but choose to eradicate them violently.
Smashing black bricks and making false accusations is all light, and it is common to directly get you to die unexpectedly. If your death can give another group of people the benefit of 100,000 taels of silver, do you think they will do this?
What's even more terrifying is that the dynasty has gone through hundreds of years of development, and society has hoarded a huge amount of money, and sometimes what you are blocking is not a hundred thousand taels of wealth, but a million or even ten million taels of money.
With such a huge wealth, let alone killing you, even if you kill your whole family, someone will dare to do it.
Sister Wu heard this truth from Xiao Letian's small class, the Manchu Chinese know the prime minister's hobbies, as long as he has free time, he likes to teach people, sometimes he goes to the military academy and university to give speeches and lectures, and sometimes it is a high-level small class for dozens of people.
Everyone knows that all the dry goods are hidden in the small class, and all the officials who are qualified to listen to the prime minister's small class have an unlimited future.
Sister Wu was fortunate to listen to three sessions, one of which was about corruption in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the more than 40 officials below who listened to that class were dazzled, and what kind of recurrence would occur in the formation, development, and peak of corruption culture, which was picked up by Xiao Letian.
Sister Wu told Hunchun these truths, and Hunchun verified this truth from Tepuxin's body today, the dynasty has really entered the doomsday channel, the Qing officials have no way to live, and the era of comprehensive corruption has already arrived.
Tepuxin is a living example, to be honest, this person is not a good official, but also a corrupt official, but this person has a characteristic that he is afraid of death, and he is afraid of pain, he just said it himself.
In fact, even if this kind of person is corrupt, there will be a bottom limit, and he will not dare to touch the big crime of betraying the country, because this is Ling Chi's sin.
But he didn't have a choice, because he was valued by Yishan little by little and supported him, and by the time Yishan asked him to do a big deal, he had already integrated with Yishan's interest groups.
You have me, I have you! Tepukhin dared to say half a word of refusal, and maybe when he went out, he would be stoned to death with black bricks.
With such a large smuggling network with a business volume of tens of millions every year and countless high-ranking officials profiting from it, how dare you smash the pot of these people? Even if they have the slightest suspicion of you, you will not survive.
There was no choice but to go down with his head covered, the signing of the Aihui Treaty, the cession of the territory outside the Guan, Yishan recommended him to succeed him, and then the imperial court secretly ordered him to open the country...... I knew that in the end I became a big scapegoat.
In this series of events, Tepuxin has no choice at all, in fact, since he jumped on the big ship of those people in Yishan, he has lost the right to make decisions about his own life.
Tepushin cried and said, "Brother, do you know how lucky you are! If I had known that I would be in this situation, I would have found a poor place where wolves don't and guarded them...... Why am I doing this? Am I stupid......
Speaking of this, Tepuxin slapped himself, he really regretted it, a thousand cuts were really terrible.
"Brother, I still have a few secret accounts in my hand, which record Prince Gong and Prince Alcohol, and even Li Lianying and An Dehai who have withdrawn cash......"
"I'll give it all to you, can you get me to die happily? Those accounts are very useful to you, and they are also useful to the emperor! I'll ask for a happy death...... Woooooooo
