On the third day after the Queen Mother returned to Beijing, several edicts were issued one after another, and the government and the opposition were shaken.

First of all, it's about the king:

"Message to the Cabinet: Prince Yi is evil, vicious, despicable and absurd, and unspeakable. I rule the world, I am impartial, I am not as good as a lord, I am not as good as a deer, I am a lawyer, the law is brilliant, and it is difficult to get lucky! ”

"However, Yi Cheng was born by Emperor Xuanzongcheng, and Emperor Wenzong showed his siblings, and imposed heavy canons, which will hinder the father's kindness of the emperor's ancestors, hurt the brothers and friends of the emperor's examination, and damage the virtue of the two saints in heaven. I wandered in the middle of the night, tossed and sighed, and finally couldn't bear it! ”

"I am distressed, kneeling in front of the knees of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. My queen mother was merciful, sighed for a long time, and said: The virtue of heaven is good, descending to the grass and trees, and the blood of the emperor is the ancestor? Benevolence, flattery, and prudence, with the prince of Yi, removed a qiē title, took back a qiē imperial gift, demoted to a concubine, did not enter the jade, handed over to the sect forever banned, and was not pardoned in case of pardon. ”

"This grace is beyond the qualifications, not for eternity, the subjects should forgive, and the gods should learn from it! Chin this! ”

Another good article.

This edict was issued in the tone of the little emperor, and in fact it was not about the little emperor. Cao Yuying and Xu Gengshen are combined; Guan Zhuofan proofread and revised - naturally he also asked King Gong to read it, and King Gong naturally did not express any specific opinions; The final approval of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces - in fact, it is only the matter of the Queen Mother of the Virgin, although the Queen Mother and Queen Mother looked at it carefully, but did not express any opinions.

The edict did not specify what the king had committed, and if it did, it would have frightened the eyes and ears of the whole world, and caused rumors to spread. People's hearts fluctuate; The second is this. There's no way not to "pay Yiyousi". Once the judicial process has been initiated. The best fate for the king is also death.

However, the edict did not evade the severity of the king's crimes, and the words were all hinting: If you do things according to the rules, you can be sentenced to capital punishment by the king.

This was done in order to appease the injured Fang Rui Wang and his family, and to show the clan family, the Eight Banners and the subjects of the world to be selfless, so as not to give people the impression that those who uphold the country avoid the important and take the light and protect the Xuanzong line. Secondly. The crime is serious enough, and then the king is sentenced to "life imprisonment", so that not only will it not be wronged by the king, but it will actually make him cheap.

As for moving Xuanzong, Wenzong and the queen mother of the two palaces out one by one, "interceding" for the king of Xuanzong, although it is a necessary "routine", but the old bridge has a new meaning, and it is quite touching to read. Indeed, "the subjects forgive it." The gods learned from it".

"Not entering the jade" plus "eternal confinement" is the heaviest punishment after execution for the clan, as mentioned earlier, it is equivalent to "life imprisonment" plus "deprivation of political rights for life".

Enjoying such treatment, since the Qing Dynasty, Yi Cheng is certainly not the first, but his fate is much better than that of Yinzhen and Yinyu of Yongzheng Dynasty.

The same is a captivity, but it is very different.

Yinyu and Yinyu are real prisons. At the direct behest of Sejong, the living conditions in the prison where the two brothers were held were very poor.

For example, when Yinyu was imprisoned in Baoding, Sejong instructed Li Fu, the governor of Zhili, who was in charge of supervision, that he could only give Yinyu a "cheap diet", and the rest of the "pen, ink, bed, tent, book, character, ice, and soup" were not allowed. At that time, the heat was scorching, the prison was cramped, airtight, and the body was tightened with iron ropes, and the hands and feet were confined, and he was often unconscious. When several family members were also locked up, Yinyu was even more tormented.

In fact, Yinyu and Yinyu were both tortured to death - poisoned? Not at all!

What about Yi Cheng?

It is called "Jiaozongren's Mansion is forever banned", but it did not carry Yi Cheng to the Zongren's Mansion and close the empty house, let alone send it to other places like Shizong to Yinyu, "handed over to the local government". Yicheng's "prison" is the Yuandun Wangfu in his soju alley. It's just that the palace was divided into two, one large and one small, the large half was taken back by the imperial court, and the small half was used as a "prison" for Yiyi; Most of the original subordinates of the palace were dismissed, leaving a small part to take care of Yi Cheng's diet and daily life.

Oh, by the way, of course, Tsinghua Garden is going to be returned to the imperial court.

He was not allowed to step out of the prison in the soju alley, and he was not allowed to meet with anyone other than the "staff" of the prison.

Guan Zhuofan and Cixi are not the kind of people who will repay Sejong, but they treat Yi Cheng leniently, not because they are kinder than Sejong.

Sejong must put the eighth and ninth brothers to death as soon as possible, because Yinyu and Yinyu have strong political influence, and if they are not physically eliminated, there is a possibility that they will not die and be bitten by snakes.

Yi Cheng is a stupid person, and he has no substantive influence in the political arena, and if he falls, he can no longer pose any threat to Guan Zhuofan and Cixi, so he is happy to do it beautifully, which can not only invite the name of "benevolent government", but also make the hearts of the clans more appropriate.

Secondly, it's about Bao Jun.

The edict directly adopted the statement in Cai Shouqi's recital, reprimanding Bao Jun for "being careless in his conduct and self-cultivation", and then saying that "the imperial court should be strict with the ministers and dethrone them because they are virtuous or not" -- this sentence also came from Cai Shouqi's recital, and decided to give Bao Jun the punishment of "quitting the military aircraft and walking and demoting him by three levels", and also specifically noted that "no offset is allowed".

In this way, Baojun, the first product, has become an authentic second product, and if you want to climb back to the first product, you have to be careful.

His title of "Minister of the Interior" was preceded by the word "acting". This is because, under normal circumstances, the "Minister of Internal Affairs" is the second grade.

The "Prime Minister" is the same.

There is no controversy about Baojun's punishment itself, but many people muttered in their hearts for the reasons used.

"The imperial court should be strict with the ministers and whether they are virtuous or not"? I'm cāo, in the future, if the "above" one is unhappy, I don't need to say that you did something wrong, just say that you have a problem with your morality, "you are not prudent, you are not self-cultivation", and then you can be invited home!

This official is getting more and more difficult to be.

Again, it's King Gong.

The edict believes that King Gong is "unscrupulous in his duties", causing "silverfish thieves to sneak and rebel", which means that you are a housekeeper, you don't look strict, you are careless, careless, and you are out of the water.

Punishment, "Win the championship and top Dongzhu".

The crown of the prince has ten eastern pearls, and one less is nine. However, even so, it is more than the county king's - the county king's crown is crowned with eight eastern pearls.

So, it's just a symbolic disposition. However, symbolism is symbolic and important, the wind of the king starts at the end of Qingping, and the government is to look at the "direction of the wind".

The "direction of the wind" is very clear.

The last edict issued that day, and the most important one, was about Guan Zhuofan.

The admiral said that the US delegation to China was about to arrive, and Guan Zhuofan was in charge of receiving it. The delegation of friendly countries was led by the "vice president" of the country, and in order to "respect the rank of reciprocity," Guan Zhuofan was specially added the "rank of county king."

This oracle contains two layers of heavy dà meaning.

Previously, when he returned to China on the day of the expedition, Guan Zhuo Fan Jin Beile's holy decree made it clear that he "used the rules of the king of Doluo County in the etiquette system". This is the meaning of giving Guan Zhuofan "county king treatment". However, the "county king treatment" is just an honor, and Guan Zhuofan's level is still an out-and-out Baylor. Also, although Guan Zhuofan enjoys the "county king treatment", he has never put out the score of the county king - otherwise, he would not know "modesty".

"The title of county king" is different, this is really half a level up, and it is only one step away from the real county king.

Baylor to the king of the county is a big hurdle, if it is not hereditary recklessness, ordinary clans will be stuck on this hurdle for the rest of their lives, and they cannot be crossed unless they have great merits to the country.

"Adding the title of county king" indicates that Guan Zhuofan has actually crossed this hurdle, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes "county king" and "county king".

This is the meaning of the heavy dà one.

Second, what is the "vice president"? People who understand the official rank of the United States know that in the United States, it is a position below one person and above ten thousand people, and it is the second person in the country - since "the rank is equal", then, in China, the person who is "below one person and above ten thousand people" is Guan Zhuofan!

That is to say, in China's political system, the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, and Guan Zhuofan officially replaced King Gong as the supreme head of the central center.

From now on, there will be only one foreman in the Military Aircraft Division.
