Section 1123 Pardon and punishment (1)
In the winter of the sixth year of Han Yuande, October (28th), in the Han Gao Temple, solemn and solemn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The black dragon flags fluttered high, and solemn and sacred ceremonial music was played.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and Weijia is returning to his hometown......" The immature children's voice sang Liu Bang's favorite "Wind Song" with a rich native voice.
Spiritual flags hung down from the eaves of the temple, and on them were written words such as 'Five stars out of the east to benefit China' or 'dragons become stars gathered, snakes divide into the sky'.
In the temple, a majestic scholar and doctor, dressed in black court clothes, long sleeves and good dance, danced the dance of martial arts, Wenshi, and the five elements.
On both sides of the temple, candles are burning.
At the top of the temple, the emperor who had just been welcomed back from Changling to Chang'an Gao Temple was dressed and sat in the air.
The twelve sons of heaven hang down, the crown and hat are majestic, and the beads are fluttering.
Taichang Dou Pengzu held the jade fluoree, his face was solemn, and he bowed to Emperor Gao's long clothes, and respectfully bowed: "In the fifty-eighth year of the Wei Han Dynasty (in fact, the correct record in the history books of later generations should be fifty-three years, because the correct start of the Western Han Dynasty was in 202 BC, however, the rulers and nobles of the Western Han Dynasty did not see it that way, they generally regarded Liu Bang as the king of the Han Dynasty and began to count it as the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty) Winter and October 癸未, the age is in the middle of the year, the emperor sent his ministers too often Peng Zu to worship His Majesty's gods: His Majesty Fu Wei is a hero, a talented man, and Tongyun is depressed, Su Ling sue Feng, ordered by the sky, cut the white snake uprising, set aside the chaos of the times, pacify the world, for the Han Taizu, the merit is immeasurable, the descendants of all generations, Xian is sheltered.
Now under the blessing of His Majesty, the royal division has been set high, the three armies of the Xiongnu Ji Congee clan are broken, and the six divisions are all lost.
This majesty is infinitely powerful, and his descendants are also dying!
The emperor respects the three animals, leads the civil and military ministers, and worships Your Majesty!
Feast! ”
Dou Pengzu finished reading the sacrificial text, and then bowed his head.
Liu Che took a step forward, staring at Emperor Gao's clothes, and bowed three times with his long body.
On his side, the Empress Dowager Dou and the Empress Dowager Bo both paid homage with great bows.
Even Chen Ajiao bowed three times in a proper manner.
And the civil and military ministers, everyone is holding the three kneels and nine bows, saying: "Emperor Fu Weigao is mighty, forever maintaining the society, merit is dying, Houmu heaven and earth, blessing all generations, bright like the sun and the moon, forever and forever!" ”
But in my heart, many princes are dripping blood.
Not long ago, the New Year's sacrifice had just been sacrificed.
In addition, not long ago, the Son of Heaven almost used kidnapping to force many people to subscribe to a batch of treasury bonds.
But I didn't expect to do it again now!
"If this continues, I'm afraid that the gold and silver mountains will have to be sacrificed......" Many people slandered.
In fact, now, many lieges have also seen it.
Today, it is to extort money from the nobles of the princes!
In the past, the gold was made into a spiritual vessel, enshrined in the Gao Temple, Taimiao, Taizong Temple and Renzong Temple, for the ancestors and ancestors to watch and play.
Therefore, in fact, the imperial court is not strict, and occasionally uses the reason of money to crack down on those guys who don't know each other.
Other people's words, the meaning is enough.
As long as the money is almost the same, no one will pursue it.
But as soon as he came to power, he began to grab the money, and the more he grasped it, the stricter he did, and now he is addicted.
In the past, the lieges could not understand the bitterness of the people in some places who paid oral gifts many times a year.
Now, they have finally felt the hardships of the people and the hardships of their livelihoods.
This feeling, of course, is the same as that of those people who are being oppressed: the heart aches like a wrench!
But it can't be helped, now, not before.
The current Han regime can be said to be neither rare nor eager for the support of the nobles and nobles, nor the approval of the scholars.
The reason is that the examination and the war are like two monsters that are growing rapidly, constantly encroaching on the old power and interests of these privileged classes.
At the same time, many people within them also did not hesitate to turn around and walk into the arms of the emerging examination scholars and the emerging military merit interest groups.
A large number of 'wise men' have completely abandoned their decadent and degenerate classes.
Today, with the end of the Battle of Gaoque, the Han family has also completed the replacement of the old and new privileged classes.
Now, most of the princes kneeling in this temple belong to the outdated old liehou family.
They have nothing left in front of the emerging military merit interest groups.
Military power, privileges, influence, and even connections were all taken away by the emerging military aristocracy.
Therefore, many people know that if they are not smarter, see the situation clearly, and recognize the reality clearly.
So......
They will soon be crushed to pieces by the wheels of history!
Besides, although the knife is wielded fiercely today, it also follows the old Huang school's 'the number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty-nine', which always leaves people with a glimmer of life and a window.
As long as you change your position, adapt to the situation, and no longer be a rice worm, and no longer wander, you can always find a way out and opportunities.
Even, even if you are a rice worm, in fact, as long as you are not stupid enough to oppose the Son of Heaven and quietly be your own rice worm, you will be fine.
I'm afraid that some foolish idiot descendants want to be rice worms, and they are stupid enough to play tricks in front of Jinshang.
Even to the dead to play conspiracy.
In that case, the example of An Pinghou is waiting there.
By the way.
After being 'carefully treated and cared for' by the doctors at the Imperial Doctor's Office for several years, Hou Eji of Anping finally 'died of illness' a few days ago.
After hearing the news, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to Shaofu and Dahonglu and Zongzheng and other Yousi saying: Anping Marquis sent, dizzy and confused, rebellious and rebellious, should not have an heir, and he will be removed from the Anping Marquis.
Then, the great Honglu Gongsun Kunxie immediately wrote and said: Anping Hou sent, dizzy and confused, rebellious, sick and demented, not Hanchen's trip, Chen Kunxie thought that it should be a desolation!
Liu Jie, the Marquis of Qingyang, also wrote and said: The Marquis of Anping, sick and demented, rebellious, not done by human ministers, and the ministers thought that they should be treated with 'spirit'.
What's even more terrifying is Shaofu Liu She, this goods are recommended to send the nickname 'Min' to Anping Hou'e.
And whether it is 'desolate' or 'spiritual' or 'yang' is not a nickname.
The Dharma says: The outside and the inside are said to be famine, and the joy and slack government are said to be famine, which means that this is a scum who is useless and has no merits at all, from the rotten soul to the flesh.
As for the spirit, there is no need to explain it, since ancient times, it has been the common name of the faint king, the mediocre minister, and the faint official.
And the nickname of Min is more terrible than the spirit and the desolation combined!
The so-called disaster is said to be evil, and the people are saddened.
The explanation of the law is that the country has no government, and it is chaotic for a long time, and it is harsh and harmful.
At first glance, it seems to be just so.
However, you have to look at these comments within the framework of traditional Chinese morals and values.
When you look at it this way, the flavor is immediately rich and endless.
Basically, I am afraid that only the Khmer Rouge and Amin on the earth in later generations can enjoy the power of this nickname.
Everything else, Hitler, Washington, all have to stand aside.
The reason is simple, although classical China never recognized that the people were the true masters of the world.
However, both the intellectual and academic circles have tacitly accepted this setting, but they just don't say it.
From the emperor to the minister, even if it is really bad enough to have pus on the soles of his feet, he must put on the cloak of 'benevolence, righteousness and morality'.
Therefore, for three generations, the king of Dingge has always been under the banner of acting on behalf of heaven, crusading against the unreasonable, and eliminating tyranny.
Therefore, when the Zhou Dynasty was in power, the people of the country rioted, let go of the king, welcomed the Duke of Zhou, summoned the Duke, and ruled the republic, which was praised through the ages.
Three thousand years before the French Revolution and the British Revolution, the kings and ancestors of China had already let the kings of the chaos go to eat Xiang!
It is in this historical background and cultural edification that hundreds of schools of thought were born.
In later generations, people usually only looked at China under Confucianism.
At this time, Confucianism was just an ordinary member of the hundred schools of thought, and he was never noble there.
It is because of this nickname that it has a powerful lethality.
Since ancient times, people who have been rewarded with praise have been absolutely qualified to be written in history books, just like people who have been given literature, scenery, Zhuang, and Mu.
However, the former will be nailed to the pillar of shame and spurned for all ages.
The latter, on the other hand, will become a role model, a role model.
Just like Confucius in the Analects of Confucius and his disciple Zigong.
Confucius Wenzi, what is the meaning of the text?
Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask, is to say the text.
Eji, obviously, will be a shame for all eternity.
Even, his descendants and relatives will probably have to remain incognito because of him.
With the experience of the past, now, the princes can be said to be trembling, and no one dares to talk crookedly.
can only kneel, grovel, and move forward with the bumps of the times.
Of course, those who are smart, or those who are more lucky, have already found a good way.
………………………………
After Liu Che finished worshipping, he stood up, looked at the ministers, and said: "The ancestors are meritorious and virtuous, and the ancestors are hard to start a business. ”
The ministers bowed again and said, "Follow Your Majesty's teachings!" ”
Liu Che said again: "Now that the king is out of the fortress, he has obtained Gaoque, returned to his homeland, and his heart is happy, his edict will pardon the prisoners in the world, go out of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, and Chinese New Year's Eve more than the palace maids and concubines who have not given birth to them, and reunite with their families!" Since the Han Xing, after all the prisoners in the world, they are all ordinary people! Forgive me to all those who have not sinned, neglected, or sinned since my accession to the throne! Forgive all prisoners, prisoners, and unscrupulous officials under the age of fourteen! ”
Liu Che was very, very disgusted that there were such things as untouchables and untouchables in his country.
Of course, there is no such thing as a pariah or a pariah in the current Han family.
Even if the law nominally stipulates and restricts people who are similar to the lowly people of later generations, now the small life is not too sour.
The most dashing and bold are these guys.
Especially the middle and lower classes, because Liu Che only collects taxes from big businessmen, and only cracks down on big businessmen.
Therefore, they can now be said to be living the most lively life in history, with a huge market, a vast world, and countless ways to make a fortune.
All these have allowed a large number of people to gradually transfer to industry and commerce.
While encouraging the development of industry and commerce, Liu Che kept a hand, strictly stipulating the upper limit of the land that merchants could own, and severely cracking down on any merchants who exceeded this limit - of course, you can choose to occupy these lands, but then you have to bear progressive and onerous taxes for this.
Now, the Han family's unprecedentedly strong grassroots administrative ability can basically prevent businessmen from colluding with officials, forcibly occupying land, and deceiving the state.
Of course, it's not that there isn't, it's just that the cost of doing so is too great.
So big that few bureaucrats and businessmen would dare to do that.
However, in the final analysis, the Han family is still a feudal society.
Since it is a feudal society, there are classes and social hierarchies.
This is an objectively existing social reality.
The status of Shinong industry and commerce has never been equal.
However, the advantage of the Chinese-style social and political structure is that the channels of movement up and down are unimpeded.
Even if the Northern and Southern Dynasties played the so-called nine-product Zhongzheng system in later generations, there was still the thing of 'Wang Xie Tang Qianyan in the old days, flying into the homes of ordinary people'.
As for now, as long as you are willing to work hard, be self-motivated, and be willing to work hard, you can rise up on your own, become a liege, start from a slight cold, and finally enter and leave the court.
However, it does not include Sikong Chengdan.
The tragic fate of Sikong Chengdan was only slightly improved after the Battle of Mayi.
But there are still no human rights, and they have just gone from being a single-use untouchable to a savageable untouchable.
And now, Liu Che will inevitably have the opportunity to amnesty the world after his great victory in the Battle of Gaoque, giving them complete liberation.
As long as Liu Che has no criminal record after taking the throne, and at the same time works diligently, all of them are within the scope of pardon.
Their status has since been transformed from the saddest and most despicable of Sikong Chengdan, and transformed into ordinary people who are protected by the law and have dignity and personality.
At the same time, he also has the power to be an official, study, and enlist in the army.
Of course, those guys who still have criminal records after Liu Che ascended the throne, or who have not worked hard and reformed, are useless to keep!
After all, Sikong Chengdan is very pathetic and pitiful.
But as the saying goes, there must be something hateful about the poor man.
In addition to a large number of implicated innocents, there are also many heinous criminals and hopeless scum in the Han Dynasty.
Such people are not worth wasting tears and strength on them.
Liu Che turned around, looked at Liu Bang's clothes, and continued: "Today, I will always think of filial piety, admire the merits of my ancestors, and sympathize with the old husbands and mothers of the world. ”
This also belongs to the political correctness of the Han family.
Respecting the old and supporting the young, and caring for the orphans and widows is a tradition that runs through the entire Han dynasty.
Since Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven has pardoned or rewarded the elderly, exempted them from taxes, forced labor, and rewarded wine, meat, and cloth.
But none of them can compare to the gift package that Liu Che is giving out now.
Fu Tianxia is more than 50 years old, the meaning of this sentence in the Han Dynasty is equal to the old man over 50 years old, from now on can be exempted from all servitude, and in the past, generally to 60 years old, the first emperor reigned to 56 years old, has belonged to the same benevolent government.
But Liu Che is now waving his hand and handing out welfare packages again, bringing forward the people's retirement age by six years again.
However, this is in line with Liu Che's political thinking and governing philosophy - if there is a benefit, it must be shared with the whole people.
And the benefits obtained from the battle of Gaoque are obviously enough for Liu Che to distribute this gift package.

I'm going to go out to eat later.,The next chapter is estimated to be after 11 o'clock~.
Well, tomorrow will start to enter the debt repayment time~ (To be continued.) )
