Chapter 401: Deposing the Emperor's Divine Law
Chapter 401: The Divine Law of Deposing the Emperor
……………………………………
"Your Majesty, the ministers also oppose the law of deposing the emperor!"
The person who spoke was Tian Feng, the director of the Judgment Division, who looked angry, and said again: "The king has a way, and the ministers assist him, and if the king has no way, the ministers abandon him." However, in any case, it is the duty of a courtier not to betray the lord and rebel against the king. Iho's story seems to be loyal and straightforward, but in fact, it is just a self-justification. What's more, there was Wang Mang in the past, usurping the Han and plotting rebellion, and there was Dong Zhuo nearby, who abolished the establishment without authorization, and His Majesty not only took this as a warning, but formulated the law of deposing the emperor. Are you really not afraid that the powerful ministers are like tigers and malicious men? ”
Good guy, Tian Feng's last question was like a quarrel, and he even glared at Liu Hanshao with his eyes, and his eyes were about to protrude.
Liu Hanshao scratched his scalp and said in his heart, are you all "swollen"? Brother is afraid that the monster "Emperor" has a golden hoop stick, can do whatever he wants, and cannot be contained, so he wants to put a tight spell on it, why are you still not happy one by one?
"Brother understands very well in his heart that the worries of the prime minister and Yuan Hao, the two of them can speak out bluntly and admonish Brother Yu, which shows their loyalty. But, have you ever thought about it? In the past, we did not depose the law of the emperor, but Yi Yin, Huo Guang, Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo and others also appeared. The reasons for this can be roughly divided into two parts: first, the emperor is young and weak, which makes the powerful ministers sit big and have ambitions; Second, the emperor was deaf and unreasonable, which made the heavens angry and resentful, and the ministers had to do it. ”
Liu Hanshao looked at everyone, saw that no one refuted, and said again: "Now let's formulate the law of deposing the emperor, firstly, we can avoid the situation that the youngest son is the king and is unable to govern, and secondly, it is also to warn the people who are the king, so as not to be lawless and act arbitrarily." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Hanshao looked at the trial and match that had been promoted to the director of the procuratorial department, and asked jokingly: "Zhengnan, brother wants to ...... You don't want to let your brother pick up his clothes in public anymore, do you? ”
When the judge heard this, he immediately blushed. At the beginning, when the royal state was divided, the trial did not say that His Majesty was the country, but he was almost picked up by Liu Hanshao as a "bare slipper". Thinking about it now, I was still ashamed, so I had to shake my head helplessly.
"The important thing is that the procedure for abolishing the emperor needs to be jointly discussed by the great court and jointly supervised by the three divisions, which can also effectively prevent the powerful ministers from acting perversely and bullying the monarch."
"But...... But if more than seventy percent vote against it, the emperor will be deposed. ”
When Yuan Shao said this, he was full of worry, as if Liu Hanshao would be abolished by everyone's vote in the next moment.
"That's right! If seventy percent of the government and the opposition voted against, then why is this emperor still on the side? At the beginning, you have the experience of selecting the chairman of the council and the head of the village and the head of the township, so you have the most right to speak. In normal times, we choose the speaker of the council, and the winner is the one with the most votes, while the village head and the head of the township need to have more than 52 percent of the votes in favor of it, and it is regarded as an absolute winner. However, my brother believes that the abolition of the emperor, after all, is a major event of a country, and if you are not careful, it may cause turmoil, and the country is not at peace, so you must be cautious, so you will increase the opposition vote to seventy percent, which is regarded as valid, do you think it is okay? ”
The abolition of the emperor is such a major matter, you still ask me?
Yuan Shao said in his heart: Brother, are you pumping your head? Can I say that seventy percent is against it, not too high, but too low? If I vote for you with Cao Mengde and Sun Wentai, the two bastards, and they both oppose it, it will be useless for me to support it, and then you will have to go down!
"Your Majesty knows that the king of a country has abolished the legislature, and the proposal of seventy percent is too low? According to the ministers, it is at least 80 percent, or 90 percent, which is more secure. ”
Liu Hanshao asked narrowly: "Originally, did you have no confidence in your brother like this?" Then he asked everyone: "Should this law be established, you will join forces to abolish my brother, right?" You are all good brothers of my brother, my brother's big ribs! ”
This kind of joke can also be made?
Everyone's heads hurt, and at the same time, they hurriedly said in fear: "Don't dare!" ”
…………
In fact, since ancient times, monarchs have been in power and have supported each other. When the emperor is arrogant, it is easy to become a "poisonous man" who decides everything in one word, so that the prime minister's power is meager, and he is almost reduced to a mouthpiece, and even the emperor kills the prime minister, like killing a chicken, and it is not uncommon to change it twice in three days. When the emperor is weak, it is easy for the ministers to lean towards the government and the opposition, coerce the imperial power, and the final result is likely to be to depose the emperor and kill the king.
Of course, this kind of thing is relatively rare, after all, and the reputation of the ministers is generally not good, even if they are like Yi Yin and Huo Guang, there are many criticisms.
In short, the wrestling between the monarchs and ministers has never stopped, although most of the time, it ends in the death of the prime minister, or even the disgrace of the name, but there is only one problem reflected in it, that is, the contradiction has become irreconcilable.
Now, Liu Hanshao has put a tight spell on the "emperor", so that the emperor can have some self-discipline and consciousness, and at the same time, in the case of the "emperor" is widely unpopular, it also allows the ministers to work together to become "Tang monks" and see more dawn of victory. Of course, this is not to dig a hole for himself, but a more advanced means to win people's hearts, in short, it can make Aiqing feel that he is more like a pure and complete "person" in front of the emperor, and the ultimate goal is to make the monarch have his own jealousy, which can be gradually resolved in the process of the gradual outbreak of contradictions, rather than necessarily reaching the point of irreconcilability in the end.
Because of the birth of Liu Yunge, Liu Hanshao doted on his children, and Confucius said: As a parent, he can't wait to give the whole world to his children. However, most parents can only have such a doting heart, just think about it, but today's Liu Hanshao is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, in the future, Liu Yunyuan will come, Liu Yunyuan will come, what should I do? Do you have to tear the earth and seal the king to be pampered enough and fair enough for the children?
The consequences of doing that, Liu Hanshao knows no matter how scumbag he learns, the feudal system kills people!
Therefore, these days, Liu Hanshao doesn't know how many times he was ruthless before formulating this law of deposing the emperor, which can not only protect the unification of the country, but also allow the royal family to avoid the tragedy of fratricidal brotherhood. The eldest son is the prince, that is his innate responsibility, as for the other children, the so-called "royal subsistence households", but the three members of the imperial court, are they not satisfied?
…………
At the same time, everyone present, the most emotional, I am afraid that it is none other than Prime Minister Yang Biao. Before the old Yang family, the four generations and three princes were famous all over the world, and when they reached Yang Biao's generation, they were the prime ministers and extremely popular ministers, so they could be said to be the four generations and four princes. In the eyes of others, the old Yang family can be described as extremely honored, and the emperor's grace is immense, but they know their own suffering.
Yang Biao's great-grandfather Yang Zhen, Bo Qigong, official to Tai Lieutenant, was framed and dismissed, in order to prove his innocence, he drank and died; His ancestor Yang Bing, Shujie Gong, was the emperor's teacher, the official to the captain, although the rectification of the filthy officials, there are many suggestions, but Emperor Huan is in power, favor the eunuchs, after all, it is difficult to make a difference; His father Yang Ci, Bo Xiangong, was the reign of the first emperor, not to mention. Successively served as a lieutenant and a secretary, but he could count several ups and downs, and he didn't even know where the eunuchs were plugged by the eunuchs, and he saw that the situation was getting worse day by day, but he couldn't do anything, so he ended up depressed.
In a blink of an eye, he came to Yang Biao himself, and when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to disrupt the government, he abolished the establishment without permission, in order to show his prestige and win over the scholars, he gave Yang Biao a vacant position. To be honest, Yang Biao is also very afraid of death, and even more afraid that Dong Zhuo will be tyrannical and endanger his family, but in a blink of an eye, Dong Zhuo was personally cut off by His Majesty, and he didn't expect that after the restructuring, His Majesty actually made himself the prime minister.
The lessons of several lifetimes, whether it is Endo or hate, Yang Biao himself can't say clearly. Of course, at that time, His Majesty was wearing a military uniform all day long, soaking in the military camp and being in the company of martial artists, and Yang Biao did not dare to say more "no", in order to seek self-safety, he was obedient everywhere. Later, I found that although His Majesty acted unexpectedly, he was still reasonable, so he admonished him from time to time to do his best as a courtier.
It's just that Yang Biao's temper is not as hot as Wang Yun's, so his way of doing things is also relatively gentle, or it is soft and hard, and there are needles hidden in the cotton. For example, when Liu Hanshao wanted to drive the expedition in person, Yang Biao saw that he couldn't stop it, so he stiffened his anger on the bottom line: Want to go? You have to get married!
Now, His Majesty has formulated the law of deposing the emperor, Yang Biao reminisces about the past, and is so dazed that he doesn't know whether he wants to cry or laugh, or whether he wants to laugh or cry.
"Your Majesty! Great wisdom and bravery, great sage and great virtue, Qin Huang Han Wu, Yao Shun Yu soup! Your Majesty, please bow down to the old minister! ”
As soon as Yang Biao bowed down, Liu Hanshao grabbed his arm, patted his shoulder and said, "Hey, Prime Minister, how can my brother be as good as you say?" Between our brothers, don't you know me yet? Brother is obviously lazy and stupid, so he wants to let the brothers contribute more and do their best. In this way, our monarchs and ministers are harmonious and brothers are of the same heart, so that our Han Dynasty will be stronger and prosperous, and the people will be richer. ”
Brother Emperor, what are your words?
Or...... Let's try it now, this law of deposing the emperor is good or not?
"But, Your Majesty, since ancient times, the emperor was appointed by Heaven and was the Son of Heaven, if he allowed his subordinates to discuss and even depose, wouldn't it be disobeying the mandate of Heaven and being disloyal and unjust?"
Come on, Lao Yang brought the problem back again.
The law of deposing the emperor is a restriction on the imperial power and a warning to the emperor, and for all the ministers, it should be regarded as an unprecedented good thing. However, the children of Confucianism pay attention to loyal ministers and filial sons, as soon as the emperor speaks here, even if the Aiqing are happy in their hearts, they always have to be polite, right? Otherwise, how to show the moral character of Aiqing?
Besides, just like what our emperor brother just said, at this moment, the more anyone opposes, the more loyal he becomes. The people of the old Yang family have been with you for generations, if you don't even understand this thing and fall to the ground, then you really don't deserve the position of prime minister.
So, as soon as Lao Yang opened his mouth, he threw the question back to Liu Hanshao, and the other Aiqing also spoke out against it, some of them were emotional, as if their character was questioned, or sad or sad, they almost killed a few on the spot, or ran to Liu Hanshao and swore in front of him: "Your Majesty, you put a loop around my neck, take me out hunting, and I will be a lackey for you!" ”
