Chapter 311: The Beginning of the Edge
On the second day after the funeral, the white sails fluttering at the head of Chang'an City were all torn off, the singing and dancing of the east and west cities were still peaceful, and everything in Beijing seemed to return to the era of drunkenness, but the storyteller who was well versed in the atmosphere of Chang'an knew that the old-fashioned Huang Lao School, which represented the fine tradition, was gradually declining. △
The emperor single-handedly denied Taichang's weak questioning of the encroachment of the etiquette system, proved that the absolute imperial power was above the etiquette and Han law, and the invisible oath that the emperor had absolute control over the military affairs involving the country, and the public opinion turmoil inside and outside Chang'an, and the general opposition of the hundred officials and ministers could not stop the young emperor's will.
The reaction of the people of Chang'an is generally normal, and there is no excitement as expected by the upper echelons, ninety percent of the people of Qianshou have an excusable view of the Son of Heaven exceeding the system, and the reasons given by the people are varied, of course, there are also calls for family affection greater than etiquette, such a statement makes Taichang Zhao Zhou very embarrassed, although he is too often a very wretched, but the etiquette system must be kept, and the people shouted out a voice of family affection greater than etiquette and law can not come to the stage.
What made him even more angry was that when the rhetoric that family affection is greater than etiquette was not recognized by all walks of life, the most radical public opinion in the market suddenly reversed and attacked too often incompetently, and did not have a good assistance to the Son of Heaven to complete the most important funeral in filial piety.
There are more and more people on the table, and the attitude of the Son of Heaven is not very clear, due to internal and external pressure, Zhao Zhou often asks for illness and recuperation, and pushes out the throne of the head of Jiuqing to a virtuous person to sit, Zhao Zhou becomes the only victim in the funeral turmoil of the Empress Dowager, or it is more accurate to call the person who carries the black pot.
Too often vacancies. The emperor reacted very quickly and quickly dismissed Han Anguo, the guard of the Southern Army. And appointed him as the new Taichang to advocate the court etiquette law, South Korea has experienced a Shaofu performance very well. As a guard lieutenant again, he couldn't find fault with the middle and middle distances, and the term of office of the two Jiuqing was considered to be an old qualification among the middle and senior bureaucrats of the three princes and nine secretaries, and there was no great threat from ordinary peasant families outside Guanzhong, so this appointment was successfully passed without controversy.
The vacant guard was quickly replenished, and the new guard was the Yanmen Taishou Bush who performed well in the Battle of Yanmen, and the Son of Heaven admired the Bushman's brave and resolute style, and was unique in a bunch of timid border county guards, and was not as free and unorganized as Li Guang, the Taishou of Longxi, so he was highly respected within the Han army.
The servant Wang Pifang was dismissed from his post at the end of his two-term term. The new servant is Changle Palace Zhan Shi Shi Qing, this person is the younger brother of Lang Zhongling Shi Jian, Wan Shijun's four sons have the most casual style, even if he is known as the most casual, he is also known for being honest and afraid of causing trouble, Liu Che, the son of heaven, inherited the employment habits of the first emperor and especially loved the minister who was honest and honest, although the ability was lacking, but the emperor used it easily.
The surprising adjustment was that the emperor's uncle, Tingwei Tian Sheng, had been exposed for his crimes of bullying the market, occupying land, and bullying men and women since he served as Tingwei, and Lieutenant Xue Ze stared at him and beat him fiercely and bluntly said that he would investigate to the end. Tian Sheng, who was not an official in the first place, had a hard time coping with the lieutenant's pickets after losing the wing protection provided by Tian Wei and Wang Xin, and not only failed to obstruct the progress of the case. On the contrary, it involved a few subordinate officials who were attracted by heavy money.
The case became bigger and bigger, until Tian Sheng couldn't hold on and asked for the return of the occupied land and property and took the initiative to resign, and the officials of the lieutenant's mansion stopped and collected the troops and returned to the camp. The subordinate officials co-opted by Tian Sheng were not so easy to tide over the difficulties, and several people could not withstand the huge pressure during the interrogation and "committed suicide in fear of crime". It is better to commit suicide than to be carried to the downtown area of Dongshikou and endure the pain of being separated from the body of a knife.
Tian Sheng's case lasted only five days from the time the case occurred to the end of the trial. The speed can be described as a gust of wind blowing over, the Son of Heaven two days ago also proposed in the court to postpone the processing for the time being, less than two days after the lieutenant's office presented Ueda Sheng's confession, the attached case file is more than a foot thick, it can really be described as a crime of many difficult to write, only from all over the collection of the three elders in the township sent the imperial writ there are dozens of copies.
The day after Tian Sheng was dismissed from the post of court lieutenant, he announced the appointment of the former Jiangxia Taishou Wen Weng as the new court lieutenant in Beijing, Wen Weng's reputation in Shuzhong, Nanyang, and Jiangxia was very good, and he was rumored to be a rare follower for the New Year, and even the labor chariot general Cao Shi personally promoted him out of Sichuan to serve the country, and it was rumored that the people naturally had a good impression of this court lieutenant.
In addition, the emperor also made new adjustments to the academic world.
The Son of Heaven dismissed a large number of doctors of the Huang Lao School on the grounds of old age and illness, many of whom were famous academic giants in the era of Emperor Gaozongjing, and a large number of Confucian scholars were promoted, Dong Zhongshu was appointed as the doctor of the Spring and Autumn Period, Yuan Gusheng was appointed as the doctor of the Book of Poetry, Han Ying was the doctor of the Book of Yi, and Kong Wu was the doctor of the Book of Shang.
A series of appointments are dazzling, which opened the wave of Confucianism's counterattack against the traditional Huang Lao school, when the Manchu Dynasty civil and military generally expressed opposition, Prime Minister Dou Ying's clear support for the arbitrariness of the Son of Heaven, and brought some unclear changes to this turbulence, the number of meritorious princes has not changed overall, and the servant Wang Pifang replaced the lieutenant Xue Ze with a little profit, but the living space of the princes is worse than before.
"It's obvious, isn't it? His Majesty is determined to cut off most of the redundant military nobles, and those who violate the criminal law and the etiquette and morality will be condemned at least and executed by capital punishment. ”
The first batch of graduates returned to Taixue, and the most important topic they talked about with their younger students was precisely the impact of political changes in the imperial court on the future, and there was no doubt that the most popular topic of the students was current affairs and politics, in their words, they cared about the changes in the imperial court was concerned about their own future and destiny, and their future would also go to the post of civil and military officials to serve the Son of Heaven.
Shusun Qin made a speech on behalf of the returning graduates, and when he talked endlessly about his good impression of the Son of Heaven, it quickly caused a commotion: "I heard what Uncle Sun Sheng meant, the Kai ** Gong Group is a redundant old aristocracy, and these redundant nobles should be cleaned up as soon as possible, so I don't know what your so-called redundancy standard is?" Are the imperial historian Zhang Ou, the general of the chariot cavalry, Zhuang Qingzhai of the great farmer, Fan Taguang of the Shaofu, and the lieutenant Xue Ze redundant? And why yes or no? ”
Thousands of eyes instantly focused on the questioner, and the students were surprised to find that a little boy about ten years old had mixed in at some point, dressed in a brocade robe and ribbon, and looked like a noble child, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed like a little fox.
Shusun Qin's speech was interrupted, and when he saw that the initiator was a little boy, he immediately dealt with it angrily and said, "Who are you? What's the purpose of coming here to make trouble? The guards blasted him out! ”
"Wait! I think this young man said it very well, and I am also very concerned about your redundancy standards, which people in your eyes are worth abolishing and eliminating. He stood up and stood up.
"You talk nonsense!"
"I support it!"
"It doesn't make sense for uncle and grandson to open their mouths to drive people away."
"It's important to keep the speech in order."
The graduates who returned to school were instantly divided into two major factions, each with their own opinions, and more students in the school chose to watch the play with a neutral attitude, until Taixue Sacrifice Wine Weiwan hurriedly came, and without saying a word, he picked up the little boy and walked out, and muttered in his mouth: "You little doll is running around again, let the general know that you ran out to be careful when you meet guests is another lesson." ”
"I'm looking for the general, and the guy over there who is talking about it said that the Kai ** Gong group is a redundant aristocracy and should be abolished."
Wei Xuan's footsteps turned his head and looked carefully, and the young student on the podium who was high-spirited and scolded Fang Xuan was a little familiar: "You are the uncle of the Military Academy, I remember that you failed a subject when you graduated, and your uncle ran to me and begged bitterly, so I allowed you to graduate first and then choose a day to retake that homework, what were you giving in your speech just now, can you repeat it?" ”
"It turns out that you can graduate without passing a coursework, and it turns out that seniors are also people who rely on nepotism to graduate, which is really disappointing!"
"Just now I was ashamed to say that the ** Gong Group is a redundant aristocrat, I think that the newly rising bureaucratic Haoqiang like you is the most shameful person, you are not even as good as a single hair of the general of the chariot and cavalry, I bah!"
"General Che Cai is right, there is always a group of politically undesirable rich businessmen inside and outside the court, in order to reach the peak of power as soon as possible, they do not hesitate to use every means to discredit and attack those in power, they are the cancer in the system of the Han Empire, neither the peasants who work hard to grow grain, nor the hundreds of workers who work day and night to spin and smelt iron, they rely on the money in their families to collude with unjudicial officials to oppress the people and plunder the wealth, and do not hesitate to knock the bones and suck the marrow of the people's wealth, which is 10,000 times more hateful than the nobles who have made **** merits!"
"Get down! Get down! ”
Shusun Qin's face turned pale, his steps were messy and walked off the stage, suddenly he stumbled and almost fell and fell on his heels, many of the graduates who shouted for him all shrank their heads and pretended to be indifferent passers-by, Shusun Qin is just a small attempt made by their powerful landlords, even if they lose all the plates, it doesn't matter, the opportunity cost is too low to be manufactured in batches, there is a second time to fail, the third time until the 10,000th time, when the tiger still has a nap, they firmly believe that perseverance will always succeed one day.
Sima Qian was dragged back to the top floor by Wei Xuan, and when he saw Cao Shi, he hurriedly jumped out to ask for credit: "Master, didn't you see it just now, I asked the guy who smeared the liehou, and it was revealed that he was a slasher who went through the back door to take the make-up exam after graduation first, and his expression was very funny when he fled." ”
"Okay, Qian'er, don't be naughty and thank you for the sacrificial wine, it's not too early, we should go back."
Sima Qian hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for the sacrificial wine, today's mistake will definitely not be made twice, and I will leave." ”
"Uh-huh, I'll send you out!" Wei Juan touched Sima Qian's head lovingly, and the old man seemed to find his feelings when he looked at his little grandson from him. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
