Section 476 The Golden Temple (2)
The old Zhu family has an ancestral skill in killing courtiers.
Needless to say, Zhu Yuanzhang said. In later generations, people may not be able to talk about Lao Zhu's other achievements, but the cleaning of the old brother, as well as the two profound connotative verbs he created, peeling last and melon vine, must be familiar to people.
An emperor who left a name in history by inventing a new model of killing officials, there is no one left.
The next Zhu Di is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Zhu Di, who is equivalent to the reopening of the country, is naturally murderous in the face of a large number of former officials with questionable loyalty.
After that, the successor emperor will not work. The first thing the latecomers faced was the increasingly stable court structure and the increasingly powerful scholar group - there were few social contradictions in the early stage of the dynasty, the reproduction rate of the population at the bottom increased, and the strength of the landlord class swelled accordingly.
Second, the emperors who kept the state did not have the ability and vigor to open the country, nor did they lack sufficient political prestige. In a word, it is useless for the country. You, a rich N generation who came to power by blood, how can you kill people in large numbers? So in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor retreated step by step in front of the scholar group, and there was a funny repertoire of deceiving the court.
This kind of funny script of civil officials, not to mention Zhu Baba, even in the Zhu Di era, it was also the end of killing the whole family.
Then there was the end of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, the situation turned to the other extreme: social contradictions always broke out, the Shidaifu group could no longer hold the situation, and then everyone happened to meet a young emperor who was not capable enough, but was bent on turning the tide.
And so it was a tragedy.
After discovering that he had inherited a super mess, the impatient Emperor Chongzhen began to use knives against officials.
And at this time, the bureaucracy also lost its confidence - the situation has become like this, the scholar group who is in charge of specific administration, annexes the land of the world, and divides the state tax revenue is not responsible, does it throw the pot to the emperor who hides in the palace and does carpenter work?
After Chongzhen came to power, the bureaucrats were quite happy at first, because the nine thousand years old and the eunuch party were dealt with first.
However, when the young emperor found that the situation not only did not improve, but became more corrupt, the court lost its balance, not to mention, even the capital was surrounded by Tartars...... The emperor's anger was then directed at the group of people on the stage.
From the moment he chopped Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen raised the butcher knife without hesitation and began to let himself go, never turning back on the road of impotence and rage.
In this Jisi Change, in addition to Yuan Chonghuan, who was directly killed, there were actually many other ministers who were directly and indirectly killed by the emperor.
Qian Longxi, a university scholar, was implicated in the Yuan case and was sentenced to death, but later narrowly escaped his life, almost becoming the second Shoufu to be beheaded by the emperor since the Ming Dynasty. After this monarch, he was assigned to guard Dinghaiwei, and finally Chongzhen was once, and he was amnesty twice.
However, Qian Longxi's fate is still good.
In the change of Jisi, Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, and killed Wang Qia, the secretary of the military department, and the three Langzhong were beaten to death with sticks. Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Qian Longxi, a university scholar, were sentenced to commutation and resuming the army after being hanged in prison, and succeeded Han Jisi.
Liu Ce, the governor of Jiliao, Zhang Xianshi, the chief soldier, Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi, and Zhang Honggong, the chief soldier, asked for beheading......
Those who were dismissed like Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, are actually considered lucky.
The above officers who were directly killed by Chongzhen will be accompanied by a different number of middle and low-level criminals behind each of them. Like Li Jichun, the second and fifth boy who was ordered by Chongzhen to be hacked to death by Chongzhen in history, and a group of Yongping surrendered officials, that is not a matter, and it can't be put on the table at all.
With just one change in his own power, Chongzhen has killed his majesty.
Chongzhen cleaned up the officials, and he was not as domineering as the founding emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang kills people regardless of civil and military, and often raids homes and exterminates the clan, and also piggybacks on the neighbor next door, the so-called melon vine copying is also.
And Chongzhen is still a little constrained here. Not only can he not use the knife against a powerful warlord like Zu Dashou, but he also rarely exterminates the ministers, and the emperor can only knife the courtiers who have done bad things and are found by him.
However, this is terrifying enough: the late Ming Dynasty society leaked air and smoked everywhere, and these incompetent mouth cannon doctors were full of mistakes and omissions in front of Chongzhen, and they really wanted to kill them, without the emperor deliberately looking for them, and the reason jumped out by themselves.
Chengping for hundreds of years, arrogant throughout the middle and late Ming Dynasty, just in the recent years, Chongzhen awakened the precarious feeling when the founding of the country was awakened.
....................................
Today's battle in the Imperial Palace, although the script is still designed by civilian officials, there is one core that has changed: civil officials can no longer rely on reversing black and white, arguing with strong words, and being outnumbered as in the past to defeat the loyal and brave uncle.
In front of Chongzhen, who is pulling the bias, if he wants to bring down the surname Cao, he can only come up with real evidence on the facts. In addition, no matter whether it succeeds today or not, the initiators are likely to have to pay a price - Xu Bengao and Wei Xu, as well as Hang Jiahu's staff general Nanjing Military Department and so on, are about to pay the price. What is uncertain now is how many people Chongzhen will kill this time?
Seeing that all the cadres who came to besiege him just now retreated to the train, Zhong Yongbo was arrogant at this moment.
I saw him take a step forward with his chest and belly, walked to the opposite side of a big turban of Wenchen, and then patted his chest according to the established reckless personality, took advantage of the situation to raise his thumb, pointed to the tip of his nose and said arrogantly: "Lao Cao, I was born in a reckless manner, I never turn around, and I pay attention to a bright and upright person!" ”
"The Xu family sent troops to fight Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu sent troops to bombard his house, which is called one report and one report!"
"Today in the Jinluan Palace, in front of the emperor, old ...... My old Cao has a clear conscience, and he also says the same! ”
When Uncle Zhongyong came here, he suddenly turned around and bowed, hugged his fists at the throne and said: "Your Majesty, Lao Cao went to bombard the Xu family that day, but not a single soldier got off the boat, and gave the Xu family a stick of incense to escape." ”
"In the final analysis, Lao Cao just bombed an empty house to vent his anger, and thousands of people on both sides of the Pujiang River can testify!"
Chongzhen on the stage heard this, and nodded softly: Compared with those Wenchen who speak in a foggy manner and act without responsibility on weekdays, Cao Zongbing's set has more appetite for the emperor.
"Cao Qing should rest assured, this matter is bound to be investigated."
...................................
Seeing the two monarchs and ministers colluding in public, Hou Sui, the chief planner behind this political tide, was a little anxious: Cao Thief actually beat him up, not only washed up the "abuse of the people", but also caused his own losses to the generals, and also made a lot of nonsense in the palace.
However, to his surprise, the previously arranged blockers were all dumbfounded, and no one stood up to continue to scold the surnamed Cao.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hou Sui could only play shirtless. I saw him stand up from the queue and say coldly to Zhongyongbo: "Cao Chuan, don't be in a hurry to be arrogant, you must not slip off the twelve major sins on that concert!" ”
"Cut, this cousin, I will teach you to be a good man today, and if you want to convict people, one is enough."
Cao Zongbing came to the capital for just a few days, and he didn't know Hou Sui, but this did not prevent him from scolding people. After exchanging sentences, Cao Zongbing began to pick up the recital and continued to defend himself for the remaining charges.
The remaining crimes, in addition to those that are useless and used to make up the scale, in fact, the core "rebellion" accusation is clear to everyone, which refers to the two points of production mode and absorbing displaced people.
What makes the doctors restless is that in addition to absorbing displaced people, the focus is on the industrial farming model implemented by the people in Taiwan.
As for the factories that really hit the ground, the scholars couldn't come up with any explanations. It is now the seventeenth century, and one cannot deduce the horror of the production line from a few pamphlet descriptions.
Regarding the above two points, they are actually related to each other, and Zhong Yongbo then made a reasonable explanation.
First of all, Uncle Zhong Yong still generously admitted the matter of plowing the fields, and explained to everyone in the temple that he had led his brothers to drive out the Tainan savages and occupy the vast plain before he was recruited.
After that, due to the lack of food, his subordinates could not have enough to eat, so he began to trade with overseas Alaskan merchants who were good at making tools, and purchased iron carts from other countries to cultivate the land, and also introduced some workshops.
Speaking of this, Uncle Zhong Yong stretched out his hands and asked the ministers in the palace: "There are large fields but few people cultivate them, Lao Cao, I want to buy some iron oxen to plough the fields, what is the crime?" ”
After asking this sentence, Uncle Zhong Yong took the opportunity to talk about absorbing the displaced people: the iron ox is not omnipotent, the number is small and difficult to serve, so he needs to recruit the displaced people from the Ming Dynasty to work and farm.
The next moment, Zhong Yongbo threw out a killer move.
He told everyone present that the fertile plains, which were the size of a county, had been cleared by his brethren over the years, and that water conservancy projects had been built.
Not only that, but he also bought a secret method from the country of Alaska to restrain miasma. Today, Tainan is no longer an overseas evil continent that people know about changing colors, but a well-known rich place in Fujian and Guangdong.
The most important thing is that he is loyal and brave, when did he say that no one was allowed to buy land?
After saying this, Uncle Zhong Yong and the ministers looked at each other, and time paused for a few seconds. The next moment, there was a whisper in the train.
The courtiers who reacted quickly had already figured out what Zhong Yongbo meant: everyone present could go to Taiwan to buy land, and then send someone to plow the fields. In this way, the so-called accusation does not exist - the land has been bought by the gentry, so naturally you can grow whatever you want, so won't it become the county of the Ming Dynasty?
So Hou Sui was dumbfounded.
At this time, Zhong Yongbo continued to say loudly: "In that piece of land in Yizhou, rice is harvested twice a year old, as long as someone is willing to give silver, I will sell it!" ...... The price, as long as five taels of silver per acre, a hundred acres of land to sell, less Lao Tzu is not served, this name is called investment promotion. ”
Seeing the courtiers' eyes mixed with shock and greed, Lord Zhongyong laughed, turned to Chongzhen and said: "The emperor is not in a hurry, in fact, Lao Cao has also prepared the imperial village to give gifts in Yizhou in the morning, and in the future, there will be production on time to send it to the capital, and I hope to smile!" ”
Seeing this turtle from the countryside openly bribing the emperor in the temple so nakedly, at this moment, all the courtiers were shocked.
Chongzhen laughed when he heard this, laughing until tears flowed out.
