Chapter Ninety-Six: The Law of Intentions

At the end of the day, all the civil and military officials who should participate in the Great Dynasty were all gathered outside the Daqing Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the early morning of the first lunar month, the climate is cold, and the wind blowing is biting, and many people are trembling and rubbing their hands constantly.

Don't think that the Great Pilgrimage will start at the end of the day, there is still an hour before the Great Pilgrimage.

Within this hour, many civil and military officials will sell frozen meat outside the Daqing Palace.

This is power, royal power and majesty.

No one thinks it's unfair, everyone has long been used to it, and it's been the case for years.

It's just that there are more people participating in the dynasty this year, mainly the commanders of the armies belonging to the three divisions in front of the palace, all of whom participated in the dynasty, and some military attachés, who were not qualified to participate in the dynasty before, also participated this time.

The court of the Great Song Dynasty is completely a civil world, and the military attaché does not have much say here, the highest military organ, the Privy Council, is also controlled by civilian officials, the left and right prime ministers are privy envoys, and the military department assists the Privy Council in managing military affairs.

The army of the Great Song Dynasty was directly controlled by the emperor, the Privy Council was responsible for implementing the emperor's will, and the Ministry of War was responsible for implementing the edicts of the Privy Council.

Officers do not have any chance to enter the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and only those who have achieved fame are eligible.

The commander-in-chief who commands operations must be civilian officials, and military attaches are not allowed to serve as commanders-in-chief, but can only be deputies.

It can be seen that the military attache of the Great Song Dynasty is much lower than that of a civilian official.

Wu Shaogang is young, in good health, and doesn't care about the cold wind, but those civil officials are different, some people stomp their feet, some people rub their hands, most of them shrink their necks, and some even start sneezing.

Although Wu Shaogang lowered his head, he used his spare eyes to observe everything around him.

The ranks of civil and military attachés are distinct, with civil officials on the left and military attachés on the right, with a distance of nearly one meter between them.

Almost no civilian officials looked towards the ranks of military attachés, but quite a few military attachés looked at the civilian officials on the left.

The left is respected, and the status of civil officials is significantly higher than that of military attachés.

It is not surprising that such a situation has arisen.

During the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, who had just seized the world, was impatient that Lu Jia always asked him to read, so he said that he would win the world on horseback and see what was the use of those books.

It is also this sentence that shows the difference between civilian officials and military attachés.

This sentence is undoubtedly correct, but it was extremed by later readers, and it was used to desperately weaken the status of the military attaché, during the Song Dynasty, this situation was even more prominent, and even the military attache should be responsible for the war and attack and other matters, all of which were replaced by civilian officials, and it is no wonder that in the Song Dynasty, the army was basically weak.

It's finally time to get there.

Twelve squads appeared outside the Daqing Palace, each holding a leather whip in his hand.

The leader of the squad threw the leather whip in his hand and hit the ground, the crisp whip echoed around, and then the rest of the squad shook the leather whip once and hit the ground.

The crisp sound of a leather whip echoed outside the main hall.

Seeing this scene, Wu Shaogang nodded slightly, he had seen it in a book, this move was a whip, which began in the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor went to the court and traveled, and the whip was to be sounded, one to show the royal majesty, the second to remind the officials to concentrate, and the third to warn the small to avoid.

The whip has not completely dissipated, and the officials of Honglu Temple began to sing loudly that the emperor has arrived, and hundreds of officials kneel to greet him.

Officials of the Song Dynasty did not have to bow down when they saw the emperor, the only exception was during the Great Dynasty and the Early Dynasty, when they had to kneel on the ground.

Wu Shaogang frowned and knelt down, this was the first time he knelt after crossing, very reluctantly, but on such an occasion, if he didn't kneel alone, what he was waiting for would be unpredictable consequences.

The Great Pilgrimage has finally begun.

The high-ranking officials above the third grade entered the Daqing Palace, and the rest of the civil and military officials were still outside the main hall.

Wu Shaogang's position is almost at the back, and in this position, it is impossible to see the emperor.

However, it is very simple for the emperor to see someone, because the emperor's imperial platform is very high, and he can not only see the situation inside the main hall clearly, but also the situation outside the main hall at a glance.

Royal majesty is everywhere.

Wu Shaogang didn't have the slightest interest in such a dynasty, he simply lowered his head and looked at the ground, as for what the dynasty had, it had nothing to do with him.

The officials of Honglu Temple stood on the steps in front of the Daqing Hall and began to read out the holy decree loudly, which was the first holy decree of the emperor's New Year, which was nothing more than a prayer for a smooth new year, all things are safe, and the civil and military officials were diligent and conscientious, and worked hard.

In fact, the time of the Great Dynasty is not long, because there is no discussion of specific matters, that is, the emperor meets with hundreds of civil and military officials, and by the way, he warns everyone a few words, but it is an early dynasty, and sometimes the time lasts for a long time, and officials may even have disputes in the inner court.

Wu Shaogang was surrounded by Chang Mingquan, the commander of the White Army under the front division of the palace.

Chang Mingquan and Wu Shaogang's attitudes were completely different, they looked quite excited, and they kept raising their heads, trying to see the situation inside the Daqing Palace.

Wu Shaogang felt funny, but he could also understand that he was a person who crossed over after all, and he didn't care about these things, Chang Wanquan was different, and he was very excited to enter the Great Interior.

The decree was too long, and it took about half an hour to read it.

After the officials of Honglu Temple read out the holy decree, all the civil and military officials knelt down again and received the decree of thanksgiving.

Wu Shaogang felt impatient, what is the point of participating in such a dynasty, it is purely a delay in time, is it possible to become the majesty of the royal family, does it need to be reflected from these places, with that leisure, it is better to care more about the lives of the people, and pay more attention to the rising Mongolian steppe.

After a while, the officials of Honglu Temple walked out of the main hall again, still holding the holy decree in their hands.

This time, when the officials of Honglu Temple read out the holy decree, Wu Shaogang concentrated his mind and couldn't help but raise his head.

He heard one word: the law of intent law.

This word was very famous in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was also put forward by Wei Guogong, the right prime minister, and the privy envoy Jia Nidao.

The so-called planning method is aimed at the battle between Hezhou and Ezhou, the specific method is that the imperial court sends officials to various places to clean up the expenditures of the armies involved in the war, and the armies need to fully cooperate, and the liquidation includes all the income and expenditure.

The civil and military officials who are going to be severely punished by the law are those who use the money and grain of the local government treasury in the course of the conquest, or temporarily collect the money and grain of the people, regardless of whether the money and grain are used for military expenses or not, and the commanders and major generals will be severely punished.

The crime is also very clear: the crime of theft and concealment.

When he heard the word theft and concealment, Wu Shaogang's body trembled slightly.

This is an unusually serious crime, and it is by no means understood after a thousand years.

The felonies in the Great Song Law include five counts, namely rebellion, homicide, disobedience, ** and theft.

Ordinary people are determined to be guilty of theft and concealment, and they can be directly executed.

During the war, the consumption of money and grain was huge, and the lack of money and food affected the war, and it was possible to use the money and grain from the local treasury as a last resort.

There are no exceptions to the plan proposed by Jia Rudao, and all those who use the money and grain from the local government treasury will be convicted, which is by no means reasonable and will not be convincing.

There must be a reason behind the irrationality, either the situation of corruption in the military is very serious, and the moment has come when it is necessary to make a ruthless determination to rectify it.

There are only two possibilities, and there are no other possibilities.

Jia Nidao in history is a famous traitor, and his influence is very bad, such a person, it is difficult to be ruthless to rectify corruption, it seems unlikely, then the rest is to eliminate dissidents.

Wu Shaogang suddenly thought of one thing, whether it was the Battle of Hezhou or the Battle of Ezhou, the biggest credit was obtained by Jia Nidao, especially the Battle of Huangzhou, which killed more than 1,000 Mongolian Tartars, this credit was obtained by Jia Nidao, because it was Jia Nidao's wise command, but the actual situation was definitely not the case.

From the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing, Wu Shaogang already knew that Jia Rudao did not dare to fight with the Mongol Tatars at all, just when the Mongol Tatar soldiers attacked SC and Jingnan Road in two ways, he was already frightened, sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Mongol Tatars, and later personally led the troops to attack, when he galloped to aid Ezhou, he sent envoys many times to Huangzhou to contact Kublai Khan, pleaded for peace, promised to come up with money, Kublai Khan because of the civil strife of the steppe tribes, must return to the steppe to inherit the throne, so he agreed to negotiate peace.

This matter was completely concealed by Jia Yidao, and when he reported to the emperor and the court, he hyped up his own merits, exaggerated the victory of the imperial army, and even said that it was a defeat of the Mongol Tartars, which made the emperor extremely happy.

It is impossible for all the commanders involved in the battle to be blind and know nothing.

Jia Rudao may not be weak-hearted, and in the case of a weak heart, it is necessary to rectify it and make everyone succumb.

Could this be the true purpose of the law of intent and purpose?

Thinking of this, Wu Shaogang shuddered and didn't dare to continue to think about it.

The Southern Song Dynasty court was already in a storm, if it weren't for Kublai Khan's busy stabilizing the grasslands, I am afraid that the capital Lin'an would have been in danger, and the Southern Song Dynasty would have perished in advance.

In this way, the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was destined by God.

Wu Shaogang closed his eyes, feeling faintly uncomfortable in his heart.

But in an instant, he opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to understand the meaning of his crossing.
