Verse 1 Tradition, accustomed to, on
Zhong Xiang sniffed and forcibly suppressed the surging grief and anger in his chest.
"Hehe, rules. The good rules of the Great Song Dynasty. Those soldiers and bandits on the Jianghuai also have this attitude. “
The dog official at the head said that the rules were set by him, he was the law, the sky, and the majesty of the imperial court, and what he said was the rules. On the Huai River, he had the final say. He said that the ordinary medicinal herbs I shipped were contraband, so it had to be forbidden. He wanted to rob everything we had, and he said that if it was confiscated, it should be confiscated. But the owner of the goods did not agree. The cargo was also the life of the merchant. and the theory of soldiers and bandits representing the ruling power of the Song Dynasty is useless. The officers and men are legal robbers in official clothes, and even we have to be killed on the spot as lawless and law-defying thieves. In this way, the crime of robbing the people's property can be concealed. That's a fight. The dog officer was very capable, but he was not the opponent of the merchant and died. A few of my fellows have also practiced martial arts in the long period of berthing to deal with the increasing number of water thieves and robbers everywhere, and the river soldiers want to kill us. We can only resist and kill them. How can I not avenge the murder of my innocent toddler in such a cruel way? If you don't report it at the time, who can you count on to help you redress your grievances later? “
He pointed at Zhao Huan on the throne and shouted angrily: "Can you count on your father who only cares about debauchery and pleasure?" “
Zhao Huan saw that Zhong Xiang's eyes were blood-red and fierce, and his murderous aura was surging, like a blood-devouring demon who would pounce at any time, so frightened that he almost collapsed, and only trembling was left on his body.
Zhong Xiang pointed to Prime Minister Bai Shizhong and Vice Minister Geng Nanzhong....... Tong Guan and Gao Yu, who pretended to pass out and had just woken up...... "Or are you decent high-ranking officials and ministers? “
Everyone didn't say anything, only looked at the clock coldly.
In the minds of these high-ranking officials:
The lowly grass people were violated by some official people using state power to make things difficult, encountered injustice, died on the spot, and no one can be the plaintiff, and the official for the sake of political achievements, for the sake of image, for the sake of complex officialdom interests and other more important things for officials, cover the lid, coax and crack down on the troublemakers who make trouble, block public opinion, and the matter is basically over, if the evidence of the crime at the scene of the crime is wiped clean and done beautifully, and there are no witnesses, then it will automatically be completely fine, as if it never happened.
There are so many of these things in the local area that they have become one of the normal forms of society, and the people are numb to turn a blind eye to it, and even recognize it as a normal thing. The vast majority of central officials have not always been in power at the central level, and they have also experienced in governing at the grassroots level, and they understand this situation very well, and the local affairs are entangled in folk customs, and the people are stupid and barbaric, and other factors are very complicated, and they have been dealt with many times and even often so big and small, and they have been dealt with many times and even often, and they have been dealt with in a small way, and they have fought for perfection 'the people do not sue, and the officials do not hold them accountable' to quell the incident, and those who have died unjustly have been extinct, what else can they do? All stakeholders in power are at ease and satisfied, this is the most important thing in officialdom, so it is enough to communicate and coordinate well.
If the crime is not so clean and beautiful, and even the person concerned is not killed on the spot, this is a bit troublesome. But it's not that tight.
What else can a powerless grass people do with a strong official who has state power as a backer?
No matter how unjust, unjust, and resentful, the people's aggression against officials cannot be used to deal with violence on the spot. Officials are lawless, beat you, rob you, insult your wife and daughter, and want to kill you, but aren't you dead yet? You have to recognize the situation, know your humility, the state power is not something that you grass people can brazenly play against it, you have to endure it at the time, submit to the violation, and you can sue afterwards, isn't this in the hands of the relevant departments and superiors? There's a place to file a complaint.
As for the lawsuit, it was not fair, the grievances were not resolved, but they also suffered official injustice, and even were wiped out, which is another matter.
Anyway, we can't be angry and violently resist the law as soon as we feel unjust and compelled to do so. It is not possible for those who are officials, and even more so for small people. The majesty of the state's rule and order are inviolable. Procedures and rules cannot be challenged, let alone broken. For the sake of the overall situation of this premise, no matter how wronged the individual (grass people) is, you have to be honest first.
This concept is universal, regardless of era, country or race, and it is not only the rotten Song rulers who think so.
We should not cause a stir because of individual incidents and individual incidents, undermine the ruling order, or even shake and endanger the foundation of the ruling party. This is a normal and necessary political ideology and means of rule.
But because of this, once a country is corrupted, the officials take it for granted that they are corrupt and cruel to the people and indulge in corruption and pleasure, and the officials are corrupt and violent, the officials protect each other, and the upper and lower levels join hands to play power and act recklessly, and the ordinary people will only be unlucky and unlucky, and they will have nowhere to redress their grievances, and they will resist by themselves, and the state is not allowed, and they will be ruthlessly suppressed with armed violence, and the small people will only suffer endless pain and suffering, and some will suffer. Resentment accumulates to a certain extent, and at the slightest opportunity, it will trigger a mass rebellion.
The change of dynasty occurs naturally according to this law.
A group of wanton and corrupt people in power and vested interests were destroyed with the dynasty, and the new state was established, which was breezy for a while, and then quickly fell into decay...... Enter the next round of the cycle.
Therefore, the political forms of democracy, republic, and checks and balances of power have emerged under the pressure of the increasing awakening of the people's awareness of rights protection, and a new state system has slowly formed.
The legal gun ownership bill in the United States is also based on the people's demand that they have weapons and legally protect their legitimate rights and interests.
At that time, the pioneers of North America, the people with guns for self-defense was a habit, it became a tradition, the federal state was established, under the strong voice and pressure of the people, in that special period of special social situation formed a gun bill, when, the official wanton persecution of public power to encroach on the interests of the small people, the people have the right to refuse, and more weapons can effectively resist the infringement on the spot.
People can legally own guns, which has caused many social problems, but in itself it is a kind of social justice and civil rights progress.
Law-abiding people, good people, no guns, not even fruit knives are not allowed to bring, while the bad guys have knives and guns, when committing a crime, they clearly know that the object they want to get cannot have a weapon to threaten them, they can have no fear to violate casually, good people have no ability to resist, they are easily violated, and even die on the spot, the police roared to come, collect the body, investigate and arrest and punish the crime, and even found the case a few days later, months and years later........ The corpses were so rotten that they could not be recognized, the scene was completely destroyed by the wind and rain, the case could not be solved, and another unsolved case that the police were accustomed to was gone. It's also too ........ Is this social management model normal, reasonable, and best?
When the rule is corrupt and social order is chaotic, the gun bill is even more positive. At least it is a rebellion against power and spiritual purpose.
No, if I am a good person and a law-abiding citizen, I have to silently bear the price of being born in a bad society, and I can be wantonly violated by various underworld forces, both public and private, with weapons.
That's no human rights, that's not fair.
There are pros and cons to everything, and the positive significance of the gun bill cannot be denied in a partial way.
For the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was natural that there would be a state in later generations that allowed people to carry guns against the government, and there would be no concept of civil rights.
The grass people are used to exploit, fool, and trample, otherwise where would they enjoy power? How can it reflect the majesty of power? How can we safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the grass people?
These are the words that have been hidden in the hearts of successive rulers.
To protect the people from legally holding weapons against the government, not to mention legislation, even if there is a trace of such ideas, it must be resolutely pinched out by the most ferocious and brutal means.
The most feared thing is that the people will rebel at every turn.
........
Therefore, these people, from the emperor to the big and small bureaucrats, were very dissatisfied with Zhong Xiang's bloody and tearful accusations.
Many officials still gloated in their hearts and secretly shouted: "You deserve it." Who called you cheap...... If you had our skills and good fortune, wouldn't it be all right to be an official......
If it weren't for Zhong Xiang, a pirate general with the support of a terrible pirate state, and not an ordinary weak grass people, these people would have jumped out and pretended to be righteous and stern and said, "This matter is not good, it is the crime of the forbidden river officer, but you can't kill officers and soldiers against the imperial court because of this, don't you know how to swim?" Jump into the water and escape, hurry up and report to the official to complain, the government and the court will definitely give you a fair ......" The arrogant and shameless will simply hit a target, and those who are used to playing are also proficient in the official words, and the two mouths are reversed black and white to confuse right and wrong," You are talking about the words of the family, I am afraid that this is not the case. It is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to have such villain officers and soldiers. You must have smuggled contraband, and if you were chased and taken, you rebelled......"
Zhong Xiang also knows very well that these guys are confined to the traditional consciousness of feudal rule, and their hearts are already dark, how can they still have the human conscience of normal people.
He sneered, "Rules." The grass people should be miserable and unlucky. If you officials have a good life, you should get nothing for nothing, indulge in pleasures, and do evil wantonly. I killed the robber officers and soldiers, no matter how reasonable, no matter how wronged, and then I resisted out of helplessness, according to your rules, I also want my life first, to maintain the face of the officials, and the rules and dignity of the Great Song Dynasty. What the damn officers and officers will do with it is not your concern. So,"
"We, the grass people, had no choice but to abandon our ancestors and leave our familiar and nostalgic homeland to join pirates."
"Thank you for that."
"The rules are good. forced the Song people with conscience and humanity to rush to our pirate country. You see, that's it, our pirate nation has risen. Now even the Western Army is scrambling to take refuge in us. I can also come to Tokyo generously, and stand here and scold you bloody dogs, but you don't dare to squeak. You, yes, just you, what? Are you not convinced? Do you want to squeak? “
Zhong Xiang strode in front of Geng Nanzhong, who was angry and hated his lips squirming and must be cursing him, and his thick fingers poked Geng Nanzhong's chest fiercely, poking the weak old guy's chest in severe pain and retreating in horror, "Do you dare to disobey you?" I'm going to slash you in front of the court right now, so what? If you dare to do it in the Song Dynasty, you will punish me and kill me? Your rules, traditions, get used to them. What should be sacrificed is ruthlessly sacrificed, isn't it? Sacrificing one of you, happy Manchu people, it's worth it, it's a good deal, right? “
poked harder and more arrogantly, making the old guy even more painful and scared to speak, "Do you dare to damage your own and make the next cadre wait for a hair?" “
Poked Geng Nanzhong both painfully and frightened, but he couldn't avoid it, resist? didn't have that ability, and didn't dare to call the forbidden army to clean up Zhong Xiang, and finally collapsed to the ground and lost all his people in public.
Zhong Xiang snorted disdainfully and let go of this ridiculous old fellow.
It won't be able to do it for a few days, and let it be ignorant and fearless.
He turned to look around at the palace of monarchs and ministers, and turned to a smile, "I might as well tell you that I don't want to receive your wealth smoothly, and I am here to provoke you to clean me up." As long as you dare to lift a finger of me. My king will be angry, and he will cause our great king, the king, to bring in his own army, and he will teach you how to behave. “
"My Prince Jiabao led the army to easily sack the Liao State, eradicated the Western Xia, and annexed Hehuang Tubo, the morale of the army is at its peak, and the murderous spirit is far from being fully released."
In the midst of the terror and wrath of the temple,
"Hehe, you don't have to be too scared. Rest assured, our pirate kingdom will not destroy the Song Dynasty, nor will we kill you. The army came only to loot more thoroughly. By the way, you people who have done too much evil but have enjoyed too many blessings, from the emperor to the emperor, down to the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of all sizes, take them all, strip off your clothes and rush into the mine to open a mine with those savages, and be a good laborer with wisdom and insight, and contribute your due strength to the construction of China's four modernizations. Dig your own holes to bury yourselves. ”
When Song Junchen heard this, he was shocked and changed.
Quan Bangyan and Ouyang Shilang understood what was going on in their hearts, but they also had to pretend to be frightened and change color.
You can't let others distinguish between them and be suspicious.
The hall was silent.
Zhong Xiang looked at Tong Guan, who was still trying to maintain his mighty image, and sneered, too lazy to tease this actor for too long to really think of himself as a eunuch of a great husband, and glanced at Bai Shizhong's powerful ministers, "What? You don't teach me the rules that you value most? ”
"I don't dare to teach a lesson, I'm so disappointed, I have to tell you. The list of national letters can only be more, not less. Whether it's people or things. ”
"Less, hehe, according to my king's calculations. If you are less, I will use you as coolies. Start with the royal family and work your way down. Congratulations, the greater your office, the more powerful and prominent your status is, if you don't make up the list in the national credentials, the more chance you will have to become a member of our country, and you will have the opportunity to see the true features of our pirate country that you have long been eager to see. ”
The hall gasped, followed by even more silence.
Zhong Xiang was not satisfied.
"No squeak, what does that mean?"
"Our country has weakened your great enemy, Daliao, completely eradicated the Xia State, and made the northwest of the Song Dynasty no longer have a strong enemy, and collected the Western Army, which costs too much every year, and you can no longer afford to support it, so as to avoid the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Western Army from inspiring the long-accumulated grievances of the border army from generation to generation because of the decline in treatment, and angrily creating your rebellion and destroying your wealth. Our country has taken in so many of your poor people, so that you no longer have to worry about how to settle these poor people without making trouble. We also took away the wealth of Hebei Tianhu, which greatly weakened the power and arrogance of this thief, and Wang Qingna of Huaixi also had to come a little. Our great general, the king, will also throw a large number of Tibetan and Western Xia men and women to you as good laborers, so that you have a large number of manpower in mining, farming, textiles and so on, which are in short supply in the Song Dynasty...... Our country has actively done so much for you and made such great contributions, shouldn't you show the grace of the kingdom and take the initiative to repay our country generously? What about the rules you pay attention to? What about the Great Song Dynasty's always good physique? ”
