Chapter 193: Zhu Baba's Candidate Wang Jing Fights Slightly!
"The third candidate for military general, the famous cool official Lai Junchen when Wu Zetian was in power, political 90. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Cool officer? What the heck? Bao Hong wondered.
Come to Junchen, a native of Yongzhou for ten thousand years. A famous cool official when Wu Zetian was in power. Because of the whistleblower won the trust of Wu Zetian, he successively served as the servant of the imperial history, the Zhongcheng of the Zuotai imperial history, and the servant Shaoqing, organized hundreds of scoundrels to specialize in whistleblowing, and set up a magistrate's court, Daxing Prison, and his henchman Zhu Nanshan and others wrote the "Luo Weaving Sutra", manufactured all kinds of cruel torture instruments, adopted methods such as coercing confessions, arbitrarily fabricated charges to cause death, and thousands of ministers and clans were killed by him.
He was corrupt and unscrupulous, formed friends with Hou Sizhi, Wang Hongyi, etc., and finally even tried to frame the kings of the Wu family, Princess Taiping, Zhang Yizhi and other Wu Zetian's most trusted figures. He also tried to falsely accuse the imperial heir Li Dan and Li Xian, the king of Luling, of rebellion, but was denounced by Wei Suizhong, and the kings of the Wu family and Princess Taiping took the opportunity to expose all kinds of crimes of Lai Junchen, and was finally executed by Wu Zetian's order. After Lai Junchen was executed, all his crook party members were exiled to Lingnan, and the terrifying "cool official politics" that lasted for 14 years came to an end.
"What the hell is this? Do I want him to be a brocade guard or a magistrate? Bao Hong said helplessly.
According to the records of the "New Tang Dynasty Book" and the "Zizhi Tongjian", Lai Junchen once cooperated with others before his death and co-wrote a "Luo Weaving Sutra", which is a "book of indignation" that specializes in fabricating crimes, wrestling with wit, constructing people to commit crimes, and rectifying people. Legend has it that Wu Zetian also sighed after seeing it, she said: "With such a scheming, I may not be able to pass it!"
This book was originally some of the techniques used by Wu Zetian to "rectify the official atmosphere" and "rectify the dynasty program" - of course, it is inevitable that some "good people" will be defiled, but in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the remnants of the people were reckless, greedy and cruel and self-fattening, and history has a definite conclusion, and it is difficult to say how many "good people" were for the country and the people during this period. As for Wu Zetian's sigh of "such scheming" after seeing it, it was just a gesture!
Today's investigation of the "Luo Weaving Sutra", the content is roughly as follows:
First, determine the object first.
2. Sending whistle-blowing letters or denunciation letters to the central authorities from all directions in order to control public opinion.
3. Wait for the relevant authorities or authorities to "instruct and forward" these letters before conducting relevant investigations.
4. Arrest and interrogate the subject according to the letter assigned.
5. The defendant has only two options for using torture to extract a confession during interrogation, one is to confess or the other is to die under torture.
6. During interrogation, let the prisoners pull each other in their confessions, and expand the number and scope of the outward pull, as many people as they like.
7. Organize and compile the defendant's confessions so that they are consistent with each other and have no flaws.
"What do you mean? You're trying to tell me, how can he still get a military book? Bao Hong wondered, "The key is what is the practical significance of this thing?" Can he reduce corrupt officials, or rely on his weaving methods to deal with contemporary eunuchs and families? ”
"It's your own business, and the system is not responsible!" The system laughed.
"Fourth candidate, Ming Dynasty Founding Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Politics 96."
", so much, the founding emperor has come out. This can be a priority! Bao Hong smiled, "But then again, although Zhu Baba is very famous, what is his ability?" It's great to be a monarch, but if you let him be the little brother, won't it be unreliable? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang is an outstanding military strategist, strategist, and commander-in-chief.
Zhu Yuanzhang was poor when he was a child and used to herd cattle for landlords. He entered the Huangjue Temple as a monk, and at the age of 25, he participated in the Red Turban Army led by Guo Zixing to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty, and was later regarded as the Duke of Wu by his subordinates. In the same year, Jiqing Road was captured and changed to Yingtianfu.
After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the peasant rebels from all walks of life, he was proclaimed emperor in Yingtianfu, with the country name Daming and the year name Hongwu. Later, it ended the rule of the Meng Yuan in the Central Plains, pacified Sichuan, Guangxi, Gansu, Yunnan and other places, and finally unified China.
During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, he ordered the peasants to return to farming and reward land reclamation; large-scale immigration to Tuntian and Juntun; organize farmers in various places to build water conservancy; vigorously advocate the planting of mulberry, hemp, cotton and other cash crops and fruit crops, he also enriches the people, suppresses the strong; ordered the emancipation of slaves and maids; reduce the tax burden and severely punish corrupt officials; Send people to all parts of the country to measure land, check household registration, and so on. Through the efforts of the Hongwu period, social production gradually recovered and developed, and the history is called the rule of Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister and set up three divisions to divide power, including the political envoy department, the criminal envoy department, and the command envoy department, which further strengthened the centralization of power.
"After all, it can only be said that he has the ability to discern the policies proposed by his subordinates, right?" Bao Hong smiled, "I don't necessarily want to think of this, I just need to be able to distinguish the good from the bad." Relatively speaking, political ability should not be fully reflected in the governance! ”
"Then you're wrong!" The system smiled, "I just talked about Hu Weiyong's case earlier, and you forgot it as soon as you turned around?" The end of such a huge feat as the power of the prime minister and the great consolidation of the authority of the imperial power alone was enough to achieve this level of politics. ”
"Haven't there been many things about power ministers in the past generations? Why hasn't anyone made this step for generations? ”
Of course, that's not necessarily what the system says. It is also a relatively long and far-reaching process to subjugate the monarchy and even reach the opposite side of the monarchy, which cannot be explained by the fact that there have been many such things in the past dynasties.
The prime minister first originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Guan Zhong was the first outstanding prime minister in Chinese history, to the Warring States Period, the position of the prime minister was established in various vassal states, the official name of the prime minister in the Qin Dynasty was the prime minister, sometimes divided into left and right, with the right as the top, called the "right prime minister", "left prime minister", and the eunuch who held the position of prime minister was called "middle prime minister". The Han Dynasty is similar to the Qin Dynasty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a group of Confucian scholars were used as prime ministers, managing daily administrative affairs, and the government affairs center was transferred to the inner court, the prime minister was under one person, above ten thousand people, everything, and the imperial power was basically in an equal state at that time, Xiao He, Cao Shen and a number of famous ministers appeared, playing an important role in the political arena of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin to Song Dynasty for the adjustment period, the two Han Dynasty, due to the rapid exposure of the contradiction between the monarchy and the prime minister, the prime minister system soon entered the adjustment period, the core of which is "the continuous concentration of imperial power, The power is constantly divided. ”
The reason for such a change is basically nothing more than a position, a concept, and even a benefit.
In the early Shang Dynasty, it was obvious that it was on the opposite side of the old aristocracy and family. And those prime ministers of the Han Dynasty are not wealthy families. However, with the development of the times, the bureaucratic gate valve is finally prosperous, and the prime minister, who is the apex of the bureaucracy, will inevitably be the spokesperson of the bureaucratic organization nine times out of ten.
The main institutional roots of the conflict between monarchy and prime minister are as follows: 1. In the contradictory relationship between monarchs and ministers, the prime minister is in a special position that bears the brunt; 2. The prime minister and the bureaucratic organization he represents are one of the most organized social forces in feudal society; 3. The bureaucratic organization represented by the prime minister will inevitably develop a certain tendency of "autonomy" that is not influenced by the will of the monarch and is independent of the will of the monarch in the course of passage, so that the bureaucratic organization will to a certain extent become a relatively independent force that is different from the will of the monarch.
It is undeniable that when contradictions accumulate to the point of irreconcilability, there will inevitably be a battle to the death, which is the inevitable result of the development of the times, but at the same time, it must be admitted that as the implementer, his wrist ability will inevitably not be general.
Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the most prominent monarchs in Chinese history. He has been diligent in political affairs all his life and has made a lot of achievements, especially the creation of a large number of systems and regulations, which not only laid the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years, but also influenced the Qing Dynasty. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the centralized political rule and the administrative management system of a unified multi-ethnic state gradually became complete.
Zhu Yuanzhang's most important achievements were to expel Hu Lu, eliminate riots, save the Han nation, pacify the world, successfully restore the country, abolish the racial hierarchy and oppressive policies formulated by the Mongols, restore China, and lead the rejuvenation of China. He went from Zhongli Village, where natural disasters and man-made disasters were plagued by hunger and cold, to his ascension to the throne in Nanjing, and the path he took with his civil and military generals was not only for the interests of private individuals and a certain class, as he said - I am the right cloth of Huai, and the world is not for me.
Zhu Yuanzhang was strategic, far-sighted, good at controlling war, and grasping the initiative. Pay attention to recruiting talents, widely absorb public opinions, strictly administer the army, improve the military system, train soldiers and train generals, and emphasize that generals must have both knowledge, strategy, benevolence, and courage. He advocated the use of troops in agriculture, farming and warfare, and maintaining a strong armed force.
Of course, excluding these, I have to say that letting Zhu Baba be the little brother makes this feeling different......
So at this time, Bao Hong has a plan in his heart, and if there is no heavyweight in the future, he will inevitably choose Zhu Yuanzhang.
"The fifth candidate for military general, Shangguan Wan'er, a female politician in the Tang Dynasty, politics 94."
"Shangguan Wan'er? This name seems to be very familiar, isn't it the character of the Wu Zetian period? Bao Hong smiled.
Shangguan Wan'er, a famous female poet and politician in the Tang Dynasty, the concubine of Tang Zhongzong, and the granddaughter of Shangguan Yi, the prime minister of Tang Gaozong. After his grandfather Shangguanyi was convicted and killed, he was assigned to the inner court as a maid with his mother Zheng.
At the age of fourteen, because of her intelligence and good writing, she was reused by Wu Zetian, and she was in charge of the palace for many years. During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, he was named Zhaorong, in charge of the dynasty, his power was growing day by day, and he was able to control the government. Later, he was killed by Li Longji in the Tang Long Change, and the works left behind were compiled into 20 volumes, and during the Jingyun period of Tang Ruizong, he was reinstated as Zhaorong and was nicknamed "Huiwen".
"Oooh! Come to think of it! Bao Hong smiled, "Sure enough, she is another strong woman after Wu Zetian, but I heard that the reputation is very bad, and her private life is ......."
"You're a little bit promising, okay?" The system laughed and scolded, "The matter of private morality in history is inconclusive, who knows if the palace secrets are true or false?" ”
Moreover, according to analysis, the official histories such as "Old Tang Book", "New Tang Book", and "Zizhi Tongjian" were compiled by later generations, and Shangguan Wan'er was evaluated lowly, and she was mostly accused of adultery with Wu Sansi and Cui Xiang (first seen in the "Old Tang Book"), but in the records of the Tang people at that time, such as "Jinglong Wenguan Ji" and "Zhaorong Anthology Preface", almost all of them were praises and praises, and there was no record of this aspect. In addition, Shangguan Wan'er was called "Huiwen" after her death, and it would be difficult for her **** palace to be so evaluated. In "The Story of Jinglong Wenguan", "In his later years, he was quite a friend of the party, and he played with power, and the court was afraid of it." The word "Tong" can be fornication, but combined with relevant historical materials, a more reasonable explanation is the handover between friends, so there is reason to suspect that the "Old Tang Book" regards a possible thing as a conclusive historical fact. However, due to the lack of detailed historical records, Shangguan Wan'er can only be a doubt, and the mainstream view is still based on the correct history. In addition, the reason for the low evaluation of Shangguan Wan'er in the history books of later generations may lie in the denial of women's participation in politics after the Tang Dynasty, especially in the Song Dynasty.
"So, in line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, there is still no problem with this attribute!" The system laughed.
"Seek truth from facts!" Bao Hong scolded with a smile, "So many people refer to romance and wild history, you can ...... to seek truth from facts."
"This system said that in view of the difficulty of the game, the characters will all use the records that are beneficial to him, whether it is the official history, the wild history or the romance. Maybe even some of them will be introduced online! The system laughed.
"............" Bao Hong smiled when he heard this. In this way, it is actually beneficial to himself, and he naturally has no opinion.
"The sixth candidate for military general, Wang Meng, the former prime minister of Qin during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, 100 in politics."
"Poof............" Bao Hong was momentarily stunned, "I'm ready to choose Zhu Yuanzhang, what do you mean by Wang Meng?" ”
Wang Meng's words are omitted. During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, he was a famous politician and military strategist, from the former Qin official to the prime minister and the general, assisting Fu Jian to sweep away the heroes and unify the north, and was known as "the first person to cover Zhuge Gong".
Wang Meng's government focuses on the rule of law, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, so even if the crimes of powerful people such as Qiangde and others dare to be punished with capital punishment, and Wang Meng, a virtuous person, will also be promoted. And he himself also focuses on good and evil, small favors must be repaid, and eyes must be repaid, so some people criticized him at that time.
Wang Meng's style has always been strict, but he will still make changes for the sake of the overall situation. For example, when attacking Qianyan, Wang Meng sent the general Xu Cheng out to inspect the reality of Qianyan's formation, but Xu Cheng did not come back until dusk, much later than the original time limit at noon, but Deng Qiang insisted on exempting Xu Cheng from the death penalty, and asked Xu Cheng to fight to atone for his crimes; After Deng Qiang did not get Wang Meng's consent, he returned to his military camp and reined in his troops to attack Wang Meng. Wang Meng saw that Deng Qiang had courage and righteousness to his comrades, so he made an exception to pardon Xu Cheng, and grabbed Deng Qiang's hand to comfort and motivate Deng Qiang. Then, when the former Qin army was about to fight a decisive battle with the former Yan army led by Murong Ping, Deng Qiang actually asked Wang Meng to be given the post of captain of Si Li after the war. Wang Meng did not agree on the grounds that his authority was not enough, and only allowed to stabilize the Taishou and the Marquis of Wanhu, Deng Qiang was unhappy and left from the front of the battle, and the two armies did not listen to Wang Meng's summons when they fought. In order to defeat the main force of the former Yan, Wang Meng immediately agreed to Deng Qiang's request, and finally defeated the former Yan army.
Before this, I don't know how many times Wang Meng has been mentioned, when Xie Xuan, Xie An and many other people appeared in the front, they had to mention the Battle of Weishui, and it was inevitable to mention Wang Meng, the pillar of optimus in advance of Qin, who predicted that Fu Jian's troops would be defeated.
