Chapter 42: Someone Wants to Make Trouble

The words are divided into two ends, the situation in the Central Plains has a trend of unification, for Ye Zhao, it is naturally a good thing, his plan has begun to be laid out since the troubled times, and now, the situation has basically taken shape, and it is useless for him to continue to be chaotic in the world.

In fact, if you look carefully at Ye Zhao's development route, not to mention science and technology, it is actually no different from Wang Mang, who established a new dynasty two hundred years ago.

But the result was very different, Wang Mang's new policy directly led to the destruction of his reputation established among the people for many years before he seized the throne, and the rebel armies rose everywhere, and the new dynasty only lasted a few years before being overthrown.

The same number of roads, but now it is a different result, which makes many scholars in the world puzzled, and the same is the enemy of the entire scholar class, why did Wang Mang fail miserably, but Ye Zhao realized Wang Mang's unrealized ideals step by step?

In fact, if you take a closer look at Wang Mang's life, and then look at Ye Zhao's half of his life, it is not difficult to find that the seemingly similar end point is actually the path taken by the two is completely different.

Wang Mang was born in a family of relatives, and he is also a member of the scholars, so he is not like Ye Zhao in terms of employing people, he can do whatever he wants, only use talents, and Wang Mang's character himself cannot be a bowl of water, although the policy is good, but the people who implement the policy are often selfish, and if the best policy is difficult to implement, it is also a dead letter.

And Ye Zhao used his strength from the beginning, with the help of Liu Hong, to break the monopoly of the scholar class on culture, and this backlash was to let Liu Hong and the crumbling Han Jiangshan to bear, Shuzhong's private land was nationalized, Ye Zhao was almost beaten by the power of the wealthy family, and Ye Zhao had special supervisors for the execution of the officials under his command, completely independent of the official system, only responsible for Ye Zhao's intelligence department, and the officials under his rule had violated Ye Zhao's laws and regulations. Ye Zhao was able to learn about it as soon as possible and quickly executed him.

Xing agriculture, industry and business, Ye Zhao can also completely break away from the family in terms of economy, and with the opportunity of book circulation, the only place where scholars can control Ye Zhao has been smoothed out by Ye Zhao, so he has such a big rear as an iron bucket in Shuzhong.

Secondly, I have to thank this troubled era, the warlords in Guanzhong are fighting, the family is either destroyed or slaughtered, and the remnants are also constantly weakened because Li Ji used Ye Zhao's strategy, so when Ye Zhao sent troops to Guanzhong, the strength of the Guanzhong family was weak and vulnerable.

And obtaining Guanzhong, for Ye Zhao, has a great significance, the climate is cool, and the state is the weak place of the family's power, by this time, Ye Zhao already has the strength to face the entire scholar class, not to mention the beginning of the Silk Road and the vigorous promotion of manure in the four states and the political capital brought to Ye Zhao by the successive destruction of Xianbei and the Xiongnu, so that Ye Zhao will operate the land of the four states very fertile.

Compared with Wang Mang's lofty but undisciplined approach, almost every step of Ye Zhao is steadily piled up step by step, and therefore, Ye Zhao's foundation today can be said to be quite solid.

But the solid foundation does not mean that everyone is willing to live in the shadow of Ye Zhao.

Especially now that there will be a trend of unification in the world, and Ye Zhao's momentum is even more vigorous, after Ye Zheng was sent back by Ye Zhao this time, his attitude was even more aggressive.

After all, Ye Zhao and Liu Wei have a friendship, so in the past, in the court, they would take care of Liu Bian's face, but what about Ye Zheng?

Speaking of which, Ye Zheng is Liu Wei's son, Liu Wei is still his uncle, and he should be close to Liu Wei, but obviously, Ye Zheng is not too eye-catching to his uncle, in the court, whenever there is a disagreement, Ye Zheng's attitude will become quite tough, even if Liu Bian's uncle asks for it softly, Ye Zheng will never compromise or give in.

For example, when Ye Zheng just came back, there was a celebrity Hongfan who touched the law, and according to the law, he should be punished with corporal punishment.

What is corporal punishment? To put it simply, it is to chop off a certain organ of the body, such as hands and feet, nose, eyes, or directly dragged out of the palace for punishment, in fact, in the period of Emperor Wen, corporal punishment has been abolished, which also has a story of Ti Ying saving his father, in short, since then, corporal punishment has gradually been replaced by beating the board, but some of the most heinous people will still be punished with corporal punishment.

In the new law set by Ye Zhao, corporal punishment was re-moved to the punishment, but this time, corporal punishment was specifically aimed at officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, and had nothing to do with the people.

Hongfan is a famous man in Hejian, not after Ye Zhao occupied Jizhou, but after Liu Wei officially became emperor in Chang'an, he joined the imperial court, but he was not loyal to Ye Zhao, but to Liu Wei.

In the past, Ye Zhao was in Chang'an, and his politics was clear, and these scholars came over, and they didn't dare to directly hard top with Ye Zhao, so they were quite peaceful, but now, Ye Zhao waved the Central Plains and couldn't come back in a short time, even if Ye Zhao had told hundreds of officials countless times that violations of the law would be investigated, but after all, Ye Zhao was gone, although Ye Zhao's minions were full of favor, and Xiahou Lan carried out the law, but Ye Zhao was not there, and some people, full of favor and Xiahou Lan were sometimes difficult to move.

For example, Hongfan, who is a famous man in Hejian, has the advantage of Liu Bian's close ministers, has a good relationship with the Huangfu family, and also has some connections in the court, this time he was arrested in violation of the law, and he should be punished according to the law, that is, the punishment of cutting his nose, and he was directly arrested by Manzhong after the incident, but immediately after, it was many officials in the DPRK and China who jointly asked Liu Wei to save him.

It is naturally impossible for Man Chong to carry it out, and some officials want to stab Ye Zhao in this matter and recall Ye Zhao back to the court to deal with this matter, which makes Man Chong a little difficult.

In fact, to put it bluntly, some people see that there is a trend of unification in the world, and they don't want Ye Zhao to dominate the world at this moment, so they want to make a trick behind their backs to recall Ye Zhao back to the court, so as to break this unification trend.

At this time, Ye Zheng took Gao Shun and Cao Xing back to the court, and after learning about this, he smiled and said: It's just a little thing, why do you want to return to the court?

Then, just when everyone thought that Ye Zheng would stand on his emperor's uncle's side in this matter, Ye Zheng directly let Man Zhong be executed.

Facing the somewhat annoyed Liu Wei, Ye Zheng said indifferently: "Your Majesty, my father once said that there is a law that must be followed, and this half of Your Majesty's country can be as stable as it is today, because the laws of various places can be implemented, and the court can win the trust of the people. Please Your Majesty put the community first, and don't believe the slander of villains and miss the country's major affairs! ”

Who is the villain, Ye Zheng didn't say, but this attitude made Liu Wei very annoyed, but it was difficult to attack, so he could only watch Xiahou Lan take Hongfan away.

After that, Ye Zheng presented Ye Zhao's recital, appointed Gao Shun and Cao Xing respectively, and in just a few days, the military power of Chang'an fell into the hands of Ye Zheng.

After that, Ye Zheng settled the accounts after the autumn, and punished several ministers who had perverted the law in the past few days when Ye Zhao was not in the court, including Liu Wei's father-in-law, who was directly beheaded, which also made hundreds of officials see that Ye Zhao is powerful in the world, and Ye Zheng, the second generation, is by no means a master who is easy to fool, and even in many ways, Ye Zheng is more ruthless than Ye Zhao.

The news of Liu Biao's death spread all over the world, and the court naturally got the news, as the only prince surnamed Liu among the princes today, Liu Biao's death is of great significance to Liu Biao, which means that among the princes in the world today, except for the two puppet emperors, there is nothing to do with the Liu family, and Ye Zhao Muye fought a battle, defeated Cao Cao, and won Jizhou and Youzhou, which made the scholar class in the court and the central government who were still fighting to seize power panic, and Ye Zheng has recently frequently done something to these scholars. It also forced these scholars to unite and prepare to take advantage of Ye Zhao's main force to be transferred to the Central Plains to do a big thing.
