Chapter Ninety-Five: The Inspection System - Suddenly the Wind Fills the Building
Soon after Princess Taiping remarried Wu Youji, Emperor Wu changed the country name "Tang" to "Zhou".
The death of the first concubine Xue Shao, and the subsequent marriage to the second concubine Wu Youji, these two major events in life are destined to be imprinted in the legendary course of the Taiping Storm! At the same time, it also had an extremely important impact on the turbulent life of Princess Taiping.
The changes in marriage are unbearable for any woman, even Princess Taiping. In the midst of this, it seemed that only overnight made her see her innate destiny more profoundly! She has a more unique understanding of what it is for her to be Li Tang's unique princess and to be brought to the world with her since she was born, it is helpless, even if she wants to get rid of this poisonous political right, it is still impossible to do it!
Other women's lifelong affairs can only be linked to the interests of power and power for her. For example, in these two marriages, the first marriage was made to Xue Shao, and the political benefits brought by her marriage to Xue Shao were to envelop Li Tang, and the political benefits brought by remarrying Wu Youji in the future were to stabilize Wu Zhou.
Taiping deeply understands that she is no longer just Li Tang's princess, but also Wu Zhou's daughter-in-law! The only person who is intimate with yourself in this world is yourself! If there is anything other than herself that is intimate to her, it is the mother, and the mother is the most important and unique object on which she depends!
Any unforgettable love, or the innate family affection that is immersed in the blood and bones, only needs to face the unswerving god of "political interests" and the demonic attainment, then everything will become quite fragile and vulnerable overnight! What cannot be broken is the deep alliance forged under the common interests, the common camp, and the common goal to achieve the goal!
Whether it is the affection between mother and son, or the kindness of lovers, in the face of political interests, all you can have is iron-blooded and cold-faced and unrecognizable! What's more, you die or I live, you can only choose one or the other......
Princess Taiping has a delicate mind, and in summary, she has gradually sorted out these truths one by one in a very fast and very short period of time. Since then, Princess Taiping has completely undergone a fundamental transformation, and in the past, she just grew from a young and ignorant girl to an imperial princess; And now she has made a further leap, from a princess of the Tang Dynasty with a little innocence, to a scheming political animal almost overnight!
Between her beautiful and bewitching figure, in her body and blood, the political potential inherited from her father and mother has been catalyzed by the cold situation, and suddenly, it has completely been the most intense and uncontrollable full stimulation!
The blood is spurting, alert and decisive, the outer circle is square and the inner side is not shocked!
The soft wind mixed with the faint fragrance of the grass, wisps of sifting into the Danfeng Gate, swept through the winding corridor, and exhaled out the open vision.
There are rows of officials in vermilion and black and formal court clothes, who are standing between the corridors of this long circuit, with the bright gold and silver glazed eaves as the shelter of the thick sunlight, twos, threes, threes, raising their sleeves and pointing at them, not daring to whisper and point loudly, discussing the inexplicable things that come into view not far ahead.
On this day, a huge boxy bronze vessel suddenly stood up in front of the majestic court. This bronze vessel doesn't look like a tripod, nor does it look like an auspicious object that suppresses evil in the palace and flaunts the majesty of the emperor, but it makes this group of civil and military generals look at it for a long time, and no one knows what it is.
This thing that appeared in front of the court for some reason was reflected by the shining sunlight, and it was as if it was alive, like a huge monster that could not be violated by the slightest trace! But when I looked at it, I found that the workmanship of this strange monster was actually quite exquisite.
It is made of what looks like a large piece of copper, separated by partitions divided into four equal independent spaces, catering to the four flat sides of the body, which are painted in four contrasting and striking colors of blue, red, white and black.
Just when the Manchu Dynasty didn't know why, and there was no answer to the misguided guessing of its intentions, a high-headed horse that came opposite the main gate of the palace and raised dust and fog all the way attracted their attention!
It was a very fast stagger, and then, before he could catch his breath, he saw a strong man leaping down from the majestic horse.
This strong man is not the civil and military general who is used to seeing in this court in Su Ri, he is dressed in rags, rough and dark skin and eyebrows, it is not difficult to see that he should be a simple and lowly peasant.
Although this person has experienced the bumps and hardships that have been born on this road, and although his appearance and temperament from the inside out are really not commensurate with the elegance of this world, but from his bright eyes, there is a kind of shining light that no matter how high or low, as long as he is a human being, that is-greed!
"This ......," the ministers became more and more indistinguishable.
In fact, the ordinary farmer who rode his horse and whipped up and no one dared to stop him and entered the Imperial Palace of the Divine Capital was a person who came to tell the whistle! And the elaborate, boxy monster-like giant bronze vessel is a special tool used to present whistleblowing documents...... This special tool has a well-known name for such a special purpose, called "Copper Kuo"!
Emperor Wu is a woman, in the cultural tradition of thousands of years in China, it has always been men who have supported the world, how can she allow a little woman who is not in the court to get a piece of the pie? Regardless of anything else, this alone has made a powerful basis for Wu Zhou Jiangshan to shake...... The resistance encountered by the Martial Emperor is too big!
She had to start worrying, worrying all the time, and then this worry turned into an inexplicable fear...... She is already sixty-nine years old, is it true that the older this person gets, the deeper her perception of all things in nature becomes? What is under control and what is not under control of all things will have such a deep sense of worry?
She can't withstand such panic, because her country, her regime, and her era must be able to do Weijia in the sea, resounding in the five mountains, and gathering the heart in the four regions, and there is no negligence!
Those self-conscious fanatics who are dissatisfied with her, dissatisfied, and unwilling to rebel against her hidden in the light and darkness, they must disappear into the world one by one, along with their restless minds, disappear together, disappear completely, disappear cleanly!
As a result, such a large set of closely interlocking emerging policies was born in response to the heart......
This policy seems complicated, but in fact it is simple, but it is to implement the "broad road" in the "Twelve Suggestions". Emperor Wu started with a subtle start, starting from every ordinary person, establishing a "inspection system" and encouraging "face-to-face informants".
The eastern part of the bronze skull was painted with azure, and it was used for self-recommended job search and promotion letters, as well as letters and suggestions for the promotion of private welfare programs; The south-facing area is painted in bright red, and it is used to solicit the opinions of the people on the court and the construction of the state, as well as many ideas about the inadequacies of the policies of the government in power; The west side is painted with a white color, which is used to integrate the grievances of all parties to redress and complain about many grievances of the people; The north-facing area is painted in a deep black color, which is used to show auspiciousness, prophecy of strange people, and informant letters of bad intentions.
To sum up, it is a system of inspection.
However, although the inspection started, those who were really able to put letters were only those civil and military officials who often went in and out of the palace gate and were literate and hyphenation! This is not the ultimate goal of Emperor Wu, her ultimate goal is to hear the voice of the people...... So Emperor Wu decreed, "If there is an informant, the subordinates are not allowed to ask, all of them are given to the stagecoach, for the five foods, so that the line is in", which means that if the people want to inform, they can go to the local officials, the officials are not allowed to question the slightest, and they must immediately provide a high-headed horse, and escort them to the Taichu Palace safely with the treatment of a five-grade official, meet Emperor Wu, and tell the secret in person.
In this way, it has opened the door for the common people. And the worries have been avoided, because after the whistleblower, if Emperor Wu finds out about this matter, he will immediately add officials to the whistleblower and give him a rather generous reward; On the contrary, if there is no such thing, Emperor Wu will not punish the informant, and still send the informant back to his hometown safely with the same courtesy.
In this way, it is really a useless thing! So who wouldn't want to do it?
The deep ambition that is constantly dormant and flickering in the hearts of people has begun a long-cherished baptism of iniquity......
In fact, Emperor Wu's original intention was to implement the road of Guangyan, restrain the people's hearts, so that the common people would not have a heart for her because of the many killings she had done before she ascended the throne, and at the same time, it also reflected Emperor Wu's love for the people like a son and his concern for the people of Limin.
In fact, the policy is good, and the idea is right, but when it really goes down, it will often go off the rails and fail the original wish! This has too many loopholes, and it is really difficult to distinguish the true from the many news from the people, and it is bound to be exploited by people with good intentions and become a powerful tool used by careerists!
Of course, no one can have foresight as to how things will develop. A wise and resolute emperor who has the destiny of heaven is like a martial emperor, but it is still difficult to look at the world coldly from this ridiculous lifeline, and discern a truly clear future because of the future.
This is actually such a sad thing, after the end of the boundless and boundless fate in the future, what kind of pain should be made to Emperor Wu, what kind of thick sigh should he make!
