Chapter Thirty-Eight: Knowing the Order, Approaching the Path

If it is said that eunuchs are in power, there is no more than the Ming Dynasty. The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty once did such a thing, which is very interesting, and I will share it with you here (Note: The following story is purely a quote, and the grandchildren who deliberately find fault get out of the way as soon as possible!) )。

Before telling this story, let me ask you a question: In the Ming Dynasty, was it difficult to kill a person?

The answer is not difficult, shoot black bricks, beat stuffy sticks, and encounter road robberies on the road, and those who have neat hands and feet are just a cigarette.

But to legally kill a person, it's hard.

Because the Ming Dynasty is a legal society, a legal society through and through.

This is no joke, as long as you are familiar with the following strategies, even if you commit a capital crime in the Ming Dynasty, it is possible not to die.

For example, if you break the law (kill someone) in the Ming Dynasty, you will be convicted, and if you are unlucky, you will be convicted of a capital crime, and you will be killed.

But don't panic for the time being, as long as you don't do special things like rebellion, you won't be pushed out and killed immediately, and you will usually be executed after the autumn.

Some people will ask, is the execution after the autumn not the same as an execution? It's just two more days to live.

It's true that you live more, but as long as you do it right, it's not just two more days, in fact, according to records, the highest record is more than twenty years.

The reason for this strange phenomenon is that in order to execute a person, it must be reviewed, and in the Ming Dynasty, the person who reviewed it was not the local government, nor the Dali Temple of the Supreme Court, or even the head of the Criminal Department.

The only person who has the right of review is the emperor.

The meaning of this sentence is that no matter where you commit a crime, in urban areas, county seats, or even in remote mountainous areas, no matter what crime you commit, whether you are murdering, setting fire or smashing people's windows, and whether you are Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Er Mazi, or a prince and general, as long as you commit a capital crime, except for special circumstances, you have to report to the provincial capital, the provincial city to the criminal department, the criminal department to the emperor, and the emperor to approve before you can be killed.

Since ancient times, human lives have been at stake.

The approved method is to tick the box, and every year the officials of the Criminal Department will write a list of the convicted people and let the emperor tick them, tick one to kill the other.

But the problem is, if your name is on the list, it is nothing more than to make the emperor suffer a stroke, and you will be pulled out and cut after the autumn, how can you live for more than 20 years without dying?

Immortal Strategy 1:

The miracle of more than 20 years of postponement of death originated from a certain unique habit of the emperor, you know, when the emperor hooked people, he did not hook all of them, he only hooked part of each piece of paper, and often left a few.

This is the so-called king in the world, mercy for the heart, the emperor is the reincarnation of the dragon, you can't worry about your ordinary people, it doesn't matter if you kill a few.

But to pin your life on the emperor's tick, it's too hanging, in case he is not in a good mood that day, all the hooks, you have no problem.

So to survive the plan, we had to find another way.

Undead Strategy 2:

Comparatively speaking, the chances of survival are much higher, and of course, the cost is much higher.

Strategy 2 also originated from a certain habit of the Emperor - the day is full of opportunities.

To get through the second strategy, it's no fun to rely on luck, you have to buy off a person, but this person is not a local official (you can buy it a long time ago), nor is it a criminal department (there are too many people, you can't afford it), and it is not an emperor (you try it).

Rather, eunuchs.

The emperor never cleans his desk, nor does he organize official documents, every time the death penalty list is sent, it is put on the table, and then change it after ticking, after all, our country has a vast territory, there is no shortage of criminals, and dozens of checklist lists are not completed today, and they are put on the table waiting for tomorrow's approval.

But the emperors would never have thought that the list that will be ticked tomorrow is not the one in front of them today.

The mystery is here, since the emperor only checks the box, there are too many names, and he can't remember it, so he simply moved the following list to the top, so that the difficult brothers and sisters who didn't pay the money died first, and after a while, looking at the list of related households came up again, and then put it down, and the cycle continued, the emperor didn't approve it, he couldn't kill, he lived in prison, anyway, he was in charge of eating and living, and the whole family went to prison every year for the New Year, and had a reunion dinner, which was very happy.

And the only ones who can do this are the eunuchs around the emperor, and there is no risk in this matter, that is, the official document was changed to a different position, and it was not taken away, and the emperor found out that he had nothing to say.

But this matter is not easy, because most of the people who can read the emperor's official documents are celebrants, and those who can get mixed with the celebrants are not mortals, it is difficult to climb the relationship, and the fees are also very expensive, even if he buys it, if he forgets it one day, or goes down, he should be killed or killed.

No matter how much effort you put in, it's still worth it to save your life.

However, it should be noted that the above strategy is not suitable for some special characters, such as Chongzhen, who is very motivated to work, likes to tick, ticks all the hooks, and has an excellent memory, and hates eunuchs, when you meet this kind of emperor, don't count on it.

To sum up, in the Ming Dynasty, it was very difficult to kill a person.

The person he is looking for is such a person, a person who dares to discuss political affairs in front of Lord Qianlong.

Wang Lian dared.

You must know that Qianlong is a bookworm and is quite obsessed with Chinese culture, especially for history books, he can't put it down. After a lifetime of study and hard study, he realized that eunuchs can usurp the country.

Lord Qianlong was a cautious person, in order to keep the country that his ancestors had worked so hard to fight, he formulated a set of systems: the eunuch system.

All the eunuchs who were on errands were to change their surnames to kings. But anyone who dares to discuss political affairs will be killed!

Wang Lian dares, because he is so caring, just like protecting Shubao, Qianlong Ye doesn't have to feel uncomfortable for a day.

He is a high-ranking and powerful person, and he is the in-laws of Lord Qianlong, and he has given himself so many benefits, this favor, he is worth helping. What's more, although Fukangan is upright, he is too upright. Honest people generally speak more ugly, and if they are ugly, leaders are generally difficult to see. Wang Lian wanted to persuade Qianlong Ye not to listen to Fukangan's slander, but it was not very difficult.

Collect money from people and eliminate disasters with others. Wang Lian began to wait patiently for the opportunity, he wanted to help Lord He do this.

Lu Zhongcheng's postmodern behavior of art has caused quite a stir in the capital, and many people regard this matter as an after-dinner conversation and talk with relish. There are many people who talk about it, but there are not many people who dare to mention it to the emperor. And adults are too popular, and when I mentioned it, I was looking for something for myself. Fukangan children's shoes saw that the effect of the previous persuasion of Qianlong Ye was not obvious, and this time he decided to have a good talk with Qianlong Ye: and adults must pay for this.

"Heshen?! Didn't we talk about it?! "The tax was collected by him, and Fukangan repeatedly couldn't follow Lord He, and Lord Qianlong's face was a little unbearable.

Do you doubt Lao Tzu's wise decision?!

"Your Majesty, He Shen abused his private power and bent the law for bribes, this is a well-known thing! Chongwenmen is an oil and water yamen, he is not enough, and he also charges 10 taels of silver in taxes to officials who go to Beijing to report on their work, which is simply nonsense! "Fukangan has a straightforward temperament, what to say.

"This is what Lu Zhongcheng said to you personally?!" Lord Qianlong said patiently.

"It's not that Lu Zhongcheng said it himself, but this matter is already full of storms. The minister also personally sent someone to inquire, and this matter is absolutely true! ”

"Okay, you go down first, I'll look into this matter." Lord Qianlong finally lost his temperament and ignored the authentic way.

Although Fukangan is a military attaché, his uncle's face can still be seen. He stopped talking and withdrew.

This time he failed again.

"This Fukangan is really straight!" As soon as Fukangan left, Wang Lian said this beside Qianlong Ye intentionally or unintentionally.

"It seems that this time he grabbed He Shen and didn't let go." Qianlong Ye responded casually, then turned his head to look at Wang Lian and said, "Do you see who is right and who is wrong in this matter?!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minions don't dare to talk about political affairs, they are all minions who talk a lot, please long live the crime!" Wang Lian stopped Lord Qianlong's words and knelt down suddenly.

"I'm just asking you, not letting you make up your mind, why are you panicking?!" Qianlong Ye knew that Wang Lian was a clever person, so he had to ask him for his idea.

"The slave has seen Lu Zhongcheng, he is the same as Lord Fukangan, he is a straight person, and he runs all the way to the black master! These people are not bad in their eyes, but they don't have a little sand in their eyes. Lu Zhongcheng was stubborn by nature and stripped naked at the city gate. Although he fought for a breath, he also lost a lot of face, how could he not remember this hatred?! I'm afraid that Master Fu was also bewitched by Lu Zhongcheng, and what he knew and said also had a great taste of adding oil and vinegar. ”

"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying."

"He is conscientious, law-abiding, and honest, and he is a model for the ministers of the court. As for the corruption that the rich man said, it is not true. Our internal affairs office has been in deficit for many years, and since he took over the work with adults, he has a slight surplus, and he is filial to the emperor! Wang Lian saw that Qianlong Ye nodded, and hurriedly added such a paragraph.

Qianlong Ye smiled and nodded, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

The way of the straight has been like this since ancient times. Whenever you speak, you have to talk about him from the left and right. Don't talk about anything first, talk about something that is not needed now, and then talk about the real thing. This is called 'ink' in the eyes of foreigners, and 'moderation' in the eyes of Chinese. The way of being an official, the way of life, the way of accessibility, and the way of being a person, among them. If you don't know how to ink, your mind has been 'Westernized'. It's okay to go abroad, but mix in China, sooner or later there will be a time when you will suffer. If you can't ink, you can't be considered an authentic Chinese.

For example, if you want to discuss something with your leader, when you enter the house, you should first offer a cigarette and then chatter about homely things, so don't go straight to the point. Because you don't know how the leader is feeling right now and what his attitude is towards you. With a unified ink, you need to grasp at least two points in order to delve further into the topic. First, the leader has a good impression of you, at least not annoying. Second, the leader is in a good mood today, and everything is easy to discuss. At this time, you slowly infiltrate your intentions, and the nineteen ** thing will be done.

On the contrary, you don't ink, and you come up to talk to the leader about business. Leaders will feel abrupt and alert. With a defensive mentality, your things are much harder. He will think about it again and again, and in the end, it depends entirely on the will of God what happens to you.

It is obvious which method has a greater success rate. You can do it for yourself.

The same applies to the family. For example, if you want to buy you a notebook at home, the best way is to stop talking about notebooks first. I'm happy to your mom and dad, and when you're on the rise, talk about notebooks. Eighty percent, you Lao Tzu will give you the silver. But if you have a stiff face as soon as you enter the door, you are still stupid and go up and say, "I want an 'apple'!" "If you're a girl and you're pretty, forget it. But if you're a boy, you'll say, "I want your mother's head, get out of the way and do your home......work."

It's called seeing a child. As the old saying goes, 'If you know what you want first, you will be the shortest!' ’

Here is another trick to share with you: if you can't get close to the leader, you can have a good relationship with the 'Wang Lian' around the leader. Someone praises you, and you will find that your progress is fast, very fast. (If this passage is hidden, you should not see it, hehe...... )

Frog vs Prince, the first round, and the adults win!
