Why did the common people hate the feudal bureaucracy?

First, since ancient times, it has been emphasized that everyone is equal before the law, but officials under the feudal bureaucracy enjoy privileges according to their ranks.

For example, if the offender is an ordinary person, he must be sent to a prison to be beheaded, but if he is an official, he may be fined for his crime or simply removed from office.

Second, the rule of man is greater than the rule of law.

The emperor appointed his cronies to serve as important decision-makers of power, and the officials at all levels below also followed suit, and then followed two in a row, two in a row, formed a party for personal gain, and attacked each other for the sake of rights and interests.

Finally, unequal social status.

In feudal society, hierarchical status was strictly divided, and it was even written into the law.

Not to mention that the common people have to kowtow when they see officials, even everyone is an official, and some low-grade people have to kowtow and bow down when they see Shangguan.

The emperor's prestige cannot be humiliated, and so should the government institutions and herdsmen who govern the people on his behalf.

The civil prosecutors do not pay attention to the facts of the case, and the bitter master of the complaint will be pressed to the ground and put on a board by the officials who try the case, not to mention the crime of besieging the yamen, which is tantamount to rebellion.

Even if you have a great grievance, the government will first punish you for being disrespectful to the yamen.

In this way, the villagers of Zhang Village and Li Village originally gathered together to ask the court for justice for their own 500 acres of paddy fields.

The officials who enforced the law "fairly" were all sent to prison on charges of "disrespecting the government", and the people who made trouble were escorted to Longzhou overnight, and the rest of the mess was handed over to the local government to deal with.

At this time, you can see the difficulties of the local officials, the officials patted their butts and left, but the problem was still not solved, and the contradiction intensified even more, as the officials who govern the locality, at this time they have to be cautious in the face of the people, no way, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the people of the county look at the yamen, with a sense of alienation and resentment, and some bold even dare to curse at the yamen.

No, since last week, the governor of the state government escorted the prisoner back to Longzhou, and every three or five times, and even in a day, there were always seven or eight people who were studying together, and they went to the official office together, pointing to the gate and cursing Li County Order, who was sitting in the lobby to interrogate the case.

At the beginning, Li Xianling also sent people out to invite the scholar into the yamen to talk, but slowly he found that the number of people standing at the yamen and cursing increased instead of decreasing.

In a fit of anger, he moved the board, and this time, it can be regarded as a hornet's nest.

As mentioned earlier, most of the officials of the Song Dynasty were produced from scholars, so although they were not officials, they were already half officials in the eyes of the common people.

Not to mention anything else, just the classmates and friends who came and went, Mr. Zashi, and his classmates and friends, there is still a person who holds an important official position in the central court of the imperial court.

Scholars love to huddle, plus they have a background and power, and they have an excellent face.

The result of asking for the people's life was punished by black-hearted officials, this is the reputation, and for a time they spoke to condemn this kind of lawless behavior, and even sent letters to the imperial officials who were responsible for picketing officials for violating the law and committing crimes.

The people talk about the king's law to the officials, and the official words are two-mouthed, and people can say whatever they want.

When officials talk about the king's law to officials, they really talk about the king's law.

Therefore, Li Xianling's reputation in officialdom was big for a while, but it was just a negative reputation.

After the war ended, some people became bold and had a new understanding of being an official, such as the eldest brother of Sun Zhubo, who had been at home for more than half a year.

Today, I received a secret letter from his teacher in the mail to him, in addition to the daily greetings, the most important thing is the last five words: "There is a vacancy, come quickly".

"My brother, for my brother to go to Lin'an, I don't know when I can see you again, please work hard for all things at home, if there is a problem, write to me."

In this era, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, Lin'an is thousands of miles away from Youchuan, it takes two months to come and go, and the official is busy with official business, and it is easy to ask for a holiday.

Master Sun, who was red and swollen with circles under his eyes, hugged his brother, and then saluted: "Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of my mother and nephew, and you can go with peace of mind." ”

The elder brother on horseback looked up at the birds flying in the sky, lowered his head and said with a red face: "Then mother will bother you here, and when I have a firm foothold in Kyoto, I will send someone to pick them up." ”

In this era, pay attention to the distinction between the eldest son, unless the eldest son's family is lost, under normal circumstances, the old people in the family will follow the eldest side.

The other is that the parents stay in the old house, and the sons go out to do official work.

The two of them turned their heads to look at the female dependents, and saw that several people had finished saying goodbye to each other, and the servants were also ready, and the elder brother who was riding on the horse said goodbye to the younger brother with dignity, and the head of the escorted family shouted and set off with the team.

The horseman who drove shook his whip in the air, and the horse pulling the cart walked out with his hooves, four carriages and six mules and horses, and the group walked out of the county in a roundabout way, and Sun Dalang, who was walking at the back of the team, glanced around, and then lowered his voice and said to the brothers who saw him off:

"Second brother, brother can only help you get here, the rest depends on how you operate!"

Master Sun smiled mysteriously and said to him: "Don't worry, brother, I have already discussed it over there, and all the charges will be recorded on his head." ”

"Well, it's all done! By the way, you can't take it lightly over there, and the state government, you can't just sit and wait, everything will change before the appointment documents are in your hands. ”

Sun Zhubo, who originally had an easy-going smile and a relaxed face, suddenly heard this, and his brows instantly wrinkled together.

Pulling his brother's sleeve, he said nervously: "Brother, I'm the one who fed the army, he can't change his hexagram!" ”

"It's hard to say, after all, they won't sit still."

Master Sun sighed, bowed to his brother and said, "Then I will go to the state government tomorrow to make a trip and completely finalize this matter." ”

"The best! Best! ”

The brother who was on the horse turned his head to look at the county town behind him: "Okay, brother, let's send it here!" If there is anything, remember to write to me and ask me, and my brother will find a way to help you when he arrives in Kyoto! ”

Master Sun Bo said gratefully: "Thank you, brother, please be careful all the way!" ”

At the same time as Master Sun Bo sent his brother away, in the county magistrate's hall, Liu Sanlang smiled at the county lieutenant Liu behind the public case: "Uncle, this time that old guy can't stay in office anymore, and when he resigns, you can move to the main hall to sit." ”

County Lieutenant Liu held the tea bowl, glanced at him and said, "Not necessarily!" ”

"What doesn't have to be? Corruption and bribery, coupled with the two major crimes of stirring up civil unrest, can't he be dismissed from office? Liu Sanlang asked with a look of surprise.

"I'm talking about taking over the post of Lord!"

Liu Sanlang frowned and said: "We have discussed with the east, he receives the county order, and his uncle takes over the Bo Hall, does he dare to play tricks?" Or is there something wrong in the state? ”

County Lieutenant Liu took a sip of tea, glanced at his nephew who was frowning and trying to ponder, and said, "Hehe, it's not!" ”

"That's?" Liu Sanlang glared at him and said.

Liu County Lieutenant smiled: "In terms of grade, he is half a level more than me, but in terms of seniority, a certain family is not worse than him, and I can also sit in the seat of this county order."

Speaking of this, County Lieutenant Liu stood up and walked off the stage, and said: "If it is in Neizhou, I will naturally not be able to compete with him, but this is a border state, and the appointment of Wu Shuai in the county also has the right to make decisions, so ......"

Saying this, County Lieutenant Liu suddenly closed his mouth, and the anxious Liu Sanlang hurriedly asked, "So what?" ”

"So you go to Longzhou City tomorrow!"

"What are you doing in Longzhou City? If you want to find Wu Shuai, you will naturally have to go to Chuzhou! ”

County Lieutenant Liu smiled, "We don't have a relationship with Wu Shuai, so we are stunned, can he help us?" ”

"But what can we do when we go to Longzhou?" Liu Sanlang asked suspiciously.

"Your father has sent a letter, saying that Wu Shuai will send someone to Longzhou to deal with some things after a while, and the person who came has a very high status, we can take this opportunity to take this line."

As he spoke, County Lieutenant Liu turned around and returned to the public case, took out two letters from his desk pocket and said, "You can take this then!" ”

Liu Sanlang took it and asked curiously, "Is it a letter to Lu Zhizhou and Su Tongju?" ”

"It's not!"

County Lieutenant Liu blinked and smiled: "It's for Zhao Dagou!" ”

"Zhao Dagou?" Liu Sanlang was taken aback: "I heard that he is just a small official in charge of the briquette workshop, can he help with his uncle's big business?" ”

"Saburo! As the saying goes, 'Shibei should be impressed in three days', and you can't underestimate him today's dogs! ”

Liu Sanlang tried hard to recall that he was often kicked around by himself Zhao Dagou, and he really couldn't imagine how high he could be.

"Uncle, Zhao Dagou was only favored by Su Tong, but I haven't heard the news that he was promoted and reused! Otherwise, how could he be arranged to be a petty official in charge of the workshop. ”

"Hehehe!"

County Lieutenant Liu didn't explain, but just took out another letter from his desk pocket, handed it to him, and said, "Do you want to read your father's letter, you will know the reason after reading it." ”

Although Liu Sanlang was very curious, when he mentioned his father, he immediately twisted his head to the side and snorted softly: "I don't look at it!" ”

"You, you, I don't know how atmospheric it is, it's been so long, and you haven't lost your breath."

After saying that, he put the envelope aside on the table, and then said: "Go to bed early tonight, leave early tomorrow morning, bring a few more people, and hand him the letter after finding Zhao Dagou in the state city, he naturally knows how to do it!" ”

Liu Sanlang said yes, lowered his head, took out the book under his arm, spread it out and continued to read, Liu County Lieutenant shook his head when he saw it, got up and walked out of the official hall with his hands behind his back and returned to the back office.

Liu Sanlang was the only one left in the general judgment hall, and it took a while for him to burst out in exclamation.

"This guy, what a lot of luck! Even his father admires him so much! ”

Just when Liu Sanlang was full of hope and was about to go to Longzhou City to find Zhao Dagou, the original Tangjia Village site, Tang Lao walked on the ruin-like village road with his hands behind his back, and behind him, dozens of figures were rummaging for something in the waste.

"Found it, found it!"

A thick voice shouted at Donald's back: "Big brother, this book is really well hidden, brother, I have been looking for a long time to find it!" ”

Before Donald could speak, a person next to him suddenly interjected: "That's because you're stupid!" ”

"Third child, don't think that I won't dare to scold you if you wear an official robe!"

"Huh? If you have the guts, you will scold! If you open your mouth, brother, I will personally send you to prison, and you will be lucky enough to change into official clothes and wear miles. ”
