The list goes on, and there are not only ministers, but also their cronies and loyal servants.

It may not be all executed, but there will be a group of people executed, and the crime of subverting the country and playing with the Lord will not be executed. But most people are only dismissed, and a few people will be punished with exile and flogging. There are also many who are released and return home after being acquitted.

More people just brought it back to Luoyang to be a witness.

Not only this list, but also many people in Luoyang were implicated, even including the eunuchs and palace ladies of the inner palace, and officials from various places. It's just that none of the cronies brought by Wu Zetian are among them, this is the original agreement.

After reading the list, a large number of people fell down, and one by one they begged for mercy in front of Li Wei.

Li Wei was suddenly furious and shouted, "Liu Qun, bring the poems you have just written." ”

"Whoa."

After a while, I hugged a large number of poems, all of which were some sycophants just now. Li Wei continued to shout: "Everyone, you all grew up reading the books of sages, and many people are admitted to the Jinshi with their knowledge, thinking that they are above the noble officials. The state has also taken out a large amount of money for you to squander, and the people have endured the humiliation and burden, and paid a certain amount of taxes every year, and have supported you in spite of their own hunger. But what have you done? How many people put the country, the king and the people in their hearts? I have said many times that you will use your ministers directly, but you continue to try to put down your face, enter the latrine, splash ink on your father's father, gnaw your conscience on the mouths of ugly beasts and ugly birds, and continue to try to get away with luck, and confuse people. What the hell, burn, burn"

Many ministers scolded each other, which is too harsh. In fact, there are many ministers in the middle who write very pertinently, besides, it is a beautiful thing that the new canal has been successful and does not work for the people, do we have to find out what shortcomings?

However, there are many reasons for the widespread implication.

Wu Zetian has been in the court for many years, and there are many ministers who are heartbroken, not necessarily all of them, but there are some capable ministers who also secretly help each other, such as Liu Yizhi and others. However, they never expected that Wu Zetian would be too big step by step, and he actually wanted to build seven temples. You can be a queen mother with rights with peace of mind, and if you have the power, we can also give an explanation to the people of the world and to the history books, okay? Li Wei is also not at ease with these people.

The so-called being a witness and going back to Luoyang to inquire about it will actually be dismissed and faded out of the political arena. It doesn't matter if they are guilty or not.

In order to win the hearts of the people, Wu Zetian rewarded him with a large number of officials, although he could not say that there were many officials, but there was already a phenomenon of redundant officials. There are many officials, the burden on the state is heavy, and it does not help much in government affairs. Governing a country requires a huge number of officials, otherwise it cannot be governed. But what are the benefits of having too many officials, shirking responsibilities to each other, or overlapping powers?

Before coming, I was afraid that Xu Yougong would not be able to think about it, so I specially summoned him into the East Palace and explained to him, you will judge the case fairly and convict him. But some officials asked me to deal with it, and it happened that a large number of officials were cut off through this case.

The last reason is more important.

Masculine.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty needs a kind of masculinity and an enterprising spirit, and the ministers need to be both virtuous and brave and dare to speak out in the court. Once this spirit is lost, and it is replaced by a gloomy person like Li Linfu who lives in power, then there is no Anshi Rebellion, and the country will soon decline.

The mother not only feminized the official name, but also used tyrannical means to suppress this spirit. It is very effective, in just over a year, most officials have lost their integrity and become whiskers and horses. Since the mother can use tyrannical means to make the officials fall, then she can also use tyrannical means to make the officials sober.

Liu Qun burned the pieces of paper with a tongue of fire.

In the bloody twilight, the officials who had fallen behind retreated.

Li Wei waved his sleeves and retreated.

However, a person followed him and said softly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a warning." ”

Li Wei turned his head and saw that it was Song Jing. He also objected to Li Wei's approach, but His Majesty was so good to him that he was embarrassed to say it in front of everyone. Moreover, it is faintly implicated in everything that has happened in the past few years, and I can't hold it in my heart.

"You say."

"Your Majesty, a lot of people have died in more than a year."

"Hmm."

"When His Majesty first arrived in the Eastern Capital, many people were terrified all day long, because they were afraid that more people would die. His Majesty quickly moved from chaos to order, and the country immediately entered a state of stability. Today, His Majesty has turned this matter over again, and it is such a big move, how is it different from a year ago? ”

"Song Qing, do you know how many people have died in more than a year? From the people in Jiangnan who were bewitched by Xu Jingye, to the officials, people and soldiers in Liangjing. ”

"Yes, there is this section, and Your Majesty should repay it with virtue. Killing to kill, in the opinion of ministers, is not the royal way in the end. ”

"Song Qing, your idea is good. Halfway to the danger, why didn't I deal with it in the east, but dealt with it halfway? You go and talk to Wei Qing, or you can understand my hard work. "The son does not say that the mother is evil, and it is difficult to say it.

There are many renegade officials in Dongdu, and if they are dealt with in Dongdu, it may lead to some mutiny. No one should underestimate the power of the mother. Therefore, halfway through, there were 10,000 soldiers from Qinghai around him to guard the safety. All they brought were officials and a small number of slaves and maids from the inner palace, family members and envoys. The envoys don't have to think about it, and the small number of inner palace slaves and maids don't need to think about it, and the officials are exactly what they have to deal with.

Instead, it was put halfway before the matter was revealed.

No matter what the reason, as a mother's confidant, can you go from the court to the place in the future and then leave these people behind?

He also said: "I also left Xu Yougong, if you talk about Kuanping, none of you can match." ”

Send Song Jing away.

Continue all the way to the west.

But because of the Luoyang incident, all the officials pressed a stone on their hearts. But because of Song Jing's persuasion, Li Wei finally relented.

The knife was not used much, and some relatives such as Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were sentenced to death, and other relatives finally let it go, not all of them, nor did they depreciate it. Yes, he completely removed his official position and title, took away the feudal land and the mansion, stripped him to the end, and became a commoner. And some people added a big four characters that they would never hire when they were sentenced. Many officials and jailers have been sentenced to this sentence one after another.

There were a small number of people in the inner palace, most of the cronies were taken away by Wu Zetian's side, and there were not many people who were sentenced. However, many eunuchs and palace ladies were expelled. Whether it is humane or inhumane, the palaces in Luoyang have become quiet.

Officials are even more so, only a very few, such as Qiu Shenxian, were sentenced to beheading, and the others were also stripped to the end, including Qianwei, who became a common person in a few days.

Li Wei did not issue an explicit edict to abolish exile in the future, which requires a transitional process. The intensity of border governance will gradually increase in the future, and the border can no longer be used as a place of exile. In the long run, the centrifugal force will increase at the border, which is not conducive to the consolidation of the border regime.

But a new kind of punishment appeared, or flow, in the form of a labor reform in later generations. The death sentence for some people is obvious, but it is too light to peel it to the end, and there are also some officials and soldiers who are rampant for the tiger, they have nothing in the first place, no matter how they strip them, there is no hindrance to them.

Therefore, to the east of Atami, some places were vacated and where they flowed for labor reform. In fact, there used to be this when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ruled Qinghai, but only if it was to migrate, not to punish, and many people who committed minor crimes or innocent people were also involved. Later, Qingming also liked to move some guilty ministers to Liaodong to participate in labor, or to serve in the military.

There is no Li Wei who has done it thoroughly this time.

But in general, there were not many people who were executed, and every minister who sentenced him to death had a reason to die.

As for Qian Wei and others, as soon as they peel off the bottom, it is really a very light punishment, and as the case gets deeper and deeper, according to what he did, he will be sentenced to exile.

The high handle is gentle and the processing speed is fast, which minimizes the negative effects caused.

……

The car drove through Tongguan, and Li Xian caught up.

When he saw Li Wei, he cried loudly: "Big brother." ”

"Don't cry, you're an adult."

"Big brother, you don't know, I'm scared to death."

"Don't say such things to the outside world in the future, it will attract criticism." The reason is that Li Wei has heard of it. After Xu Jingye raised troops, his mother was not at ease with Li Xian in Junzhou. So he often sent his cronies to Junzhou to observe Li Xian's movements.

The mother's original meaning is probably just not at ease, but a group of internal servants rely on the mother's power to behave indiscriminately, at least intimidating, and at worst beating and scolding. is really beating and scolding, at this time Li Xian is not a prince, he is a sinner.

The daughter of the Cui family is a very gentle woman, not like Wei Yue, who is strong by nature, and does not know how to comfort, so when the husband and wife heard that the messenger was coming, they just hugged their heads and cried. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Luo Wucheng to appear in Luoyang, and Wu Zetian stopped.

Otherwise, it is possible to survive for another year, and the husband and wife can really commit suicide by hanging the beam with a rope.

But the other person who is not a sinner is also miserable. The fourth Li Xulun was not only confined in the inner palace, in order to make his son honest, Wu Zetian also often sent the inner servants to tame him, and he did not dare to whip the fourth child with a whip for the time being, but the wives and concubines in the family, as well as their children, inevitably suffered from whipping occasionally.

Even the mother's hand reached out to the younger sister and asked the younger sister to divorce her husband. When the two were in love, the little sister refused, so she let it go for the time being.

Hearing this, Li Wei felt very lucky in his heart.

It's not for the throne, it's for myself to be alive now.

If he hadn't occasionally entered the army, had a friendship with Pei Xingjian, and was taught the art of war by Pei Xingjian, he further controlled a powerful army in Qinghai and mastered the most absolute violent force, no matter how hard he tried, he would have begged under his mother's knees, and it was estimated that it would not have had an effect. On the contrary, because of the two canals, because of some measures for the benefit of the people, they have won the hearts of the people, and they will die faster.

This sentence can only be kept in the heart.

But there are many people who are evaluating this matter fairly, if the emperor hadn't gone to the Western Regions, he would have survived by luck, and led back hundreds of thousands of troops, and in the end he was more than lucky. During this time, Wu Zetian showed too many tough methods and ambitions.

You can't say it yourself, let others judge it.

He helped him up and said, "It's all over the past, you know?" ”。

"Hmm."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I don't know how happy he was when he heard that you were coming back," Cui Shi said.

"Well," Li Wei glanced at her, he was very satisfied with her Li Wei, the third child was a very good person, that is, the prince, married Wei Yue, a strong woman, he couldn't accept it either. The daughter of the Cui family is good, has a good background, looks good, and has a good moral character, but she can't meet big things, and she can't help the third child when she encounters big things.

He also said: "It's rare to have a family reunion, let's leave Xijing next year." ”

"Big brother, I don't want to go."

"Stupid, third brother, there are no rules, there is no circle."

Li Shimin did a very good job of dealing with the Tang Dynasty clan, in view of the dispute between Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Chengqian, the crown prince, he issued an order that once the prince reached adulthood, he basically moved to other states to serve as the assassin. It's just that the history of a state assassin has no power to rebel, and it can show gentleness. In this way, it is avoided that the princes will have many accidents in the capital. For example, Li Zhong, if he is in the capital and has the support of Shangguanyi and others, there will be a big event at that time.

My father, as the king of the guard, has done a very good job. If every emperor of the Tang Dynasty could keep him like this, it was possible to continue two or three hundred more foundations. But in many aspects, it can be seen that the talent is much worse, such as the political hall, and then this rule. In his later years, he was crowned, the second was crowned, and the third was crowned, but all of them continued to be placed in the capital. So many things happened. Of course, the most important thing is that the conflict between his wife and son was not handled well.

Li Xian was not happy, and looked at Li Wei with blank eyes.

Li Wei was helpless and said: "In this way, when the time comes, I will pick a few state capitals near Jingzhao and let you go out." ”

"How many times can I come back that year."

"Well, you can ask your father-in-law." Li Wei replied angrily.

However, as soon as the voice changed, he said, "Just when you come back, our family will gather to visit the queen mother." ”

When he heard his mother, Li Xian shuddered and hesitated.

"It doesn't matter, with me, she is our mother after all, we can't deny it."

called the fourth family, and the second family, the second died, and the children and the Fang family were recalled to Beijing by Wu Zetian. A large group of people rushed to the palace where Wu Zetian was staying.

Looking at this group of people, Li Wei's brows furrowed again, because he remembered something. Li Tang has only been a few generations, and there are still many killings in the middle, but how many clan children have been produced? If it is a few hundred years later, will it be repaid?
