Section 1360 New Interest Groups
The first thing that came to mind was, of course, a mistake. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Chao Cuo now dreams of being addicted to the prime minister.
And he can only choose to sprint towards the prime minister's position.
Because, when Zhou Yafu is in office, if he can't climb to the position of prime minister, then he can only follow Zhou Yafu to the office.
In this court, now, anyone can pay tribute.
He alone can't make mistakes.
He has too many enemies!
So many that he couldn't even count it himself!
Chao Cuo dared to guarantee that as long as he lost power, his entire family would die without a place to be buried.
Therefore, he can only bite the bullet and attack the prime minister's throne.
But, in the Han Dynasty, a civil official wants to be a prime minister?
Difficult!
It's so hard!
The first thing that stopped him was the ancestral system, the iron law of the Han family - no meritorious, no king, no Liu, if not the appointment, the world will fight together!
And if you want to be a prime minister, you must first be a prince.
But the problem is that for more than 60 years since the Han Dynasty, those who have become princes without relying on military merits can count clearly on ten fingers! (The princes, princes, brothers, and relatives are not counted as princes, they belong to the princes).
It is nothing more than Wu Hou Yang to get sick, Cheng Tao Hou Zhou Xin, Teng Hou Lu Gengshi, Jianling Hou Zhang Ze and others.
And among these people, Yang went to the disease, relying on the credit of building Chang'an City.
Zhou Xinde, that is because he is a confidant of Empress Lu, and he once had a life-saving grace for Empress Lu's family.
Zhang Ze is not to mention it, he is a close confidant of Emperor Hui, he grew up with Emperor Hui since he was a child, what is it to reward a prince?
Teng Hou Lu is more beginning, one is surnamed Lu, and the other is good for farming.
Who would dare to disagree?
Therefore, Chao Cuo has been doing everything possible to brush up his reputation in the past few years, and he has tried his best to do things, just so that he can be a marquis and have a good time in the future.
For this reason, he even discarded many principles that he had adhered to for many years, and endorsed many of today's policies.
Pity......
Although these things made him quite appreciated by the Son of Heaven, he still missed a little bit if he wanted to be crowned a prince.
After all, now, it is recognized by the world that if you want to be a liege, you must have military merits.
Otherwise, you will give birth to a good daughter and send her to the palace......
In addition, he wants to rely on his political achievements to become a marquis.
This not only requires the consent of the Son of Heaven, but also the support of the courtiers or the convincing of the world.
The courtiers supported such a thing......
Chao Cuo didn't even think about it......
He knew that he had as many enemies in the court as his friends.
And outside the court, he can be said to be an enemy in all directions.
In particular, Yuan An's old relatives and friends have been giving him eye medicine and splashing him with dirty water.
Fortunately, just when he was at a loss, the king of Qi descended from the sky......
This is no different from a gift package from heaven.
You have to know, what did Chao Cuo start with?
Cut the domain!
What is he known all over the world?
Or cut the domain!
Cutting the feudal domain is his curse, but also his heart knot, and it is also his lifelong career.
The King of Qi jumped out at this time, which was equivalent to shouting at him - fire at me!
Chao was wrong, so he was naturally unceremonious, and immediately worked hard to write a book, and impeached the ten deadly sins of King Qi!
With Chao Cuo taking the lead, almost all of the entire Imperial Historian Yamen followed up.
In particular, the book-holders of the imperial history were like eating gunpowder, and the bullets poured into the palace like a tide.
And the others are willing to be idle there?
After seeing the example of Chao Cuo and the imperial historians, the three princes and nine kings, everyone has the same.
Impeachment of all kinds.
What Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, has done and has not done, everything has been turned out.
In an instant, the Lantai of Weiyang Palace was overwhelmed by all kinds of bullets.
Liu Che looked at these bullets, smiled slightly, didn't even bother to look at them, and just asked the scholars to sort them out for later use.
To kill a vassal king, or a vassal king that has been passed down for decades and flourished, of course, is not such a simple matter.
Moreover, Liu Che can't show that his eating appearance is too ugly.
Therefore, he instructed Ji Di to say: "As soon as it is sparse, all of them will stay in the middle, and return to the officials: King Qi, elder, I can't bear to give the law to the king, Qing and others to think about it again......"
"No!" Ji Di took the order and left.
…………………………
"The Son of Heaven can't bear to give the law to the King of Qi?" With the reply, Chao Cuo sneered, and then shouted: "Prepare pen and ink!" ”
The emperor said that he couldn't bear to kill King Faqi, and King Qi would be able to escape?
Joke!
In fact, this reply fell in Chao Cuo's eyes, just like 'I think the evidence of this King Qi's guilt is still too little, and I will look for it later?' It's the same, it's simply encouraging him to do something.
On the contrary, if the Son of Heaven scolds him badly, it is necessary to turn big things into small things and small things into nothing, and punish him with three glasses of wine, and not take an example.
If there is a proverb among the people, it is said well......
As the saying goes, this board is lifted high and falls gently......
Therefore, Chao Cuo immediately cheered up, and after thinking about it, he picked up the pen and began to fabricate charges against King Qi.
Giving people such a thing as being charged with a crime is the strong point of the Minister of Legalism!
For example, in history, Zhang Tang invented 'belly slander' to kill Yan Yi......
It's just that his eyes are dripping like this, and Chao Cuo has found more than 30 crimes for Liu Jianglu.
Then pick and choose, and pick out three.
Don't think that this is wrong and merciful......
On the contrary, this is a desperate ploy to exterminate everything.
……………………………………
The next day, above the morning court, just opened, before the ministers sat down, Chao Cuo was already the first to come out and worship: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a ...... play"
Liu Che glanced at Chao Cuo meaningfully.
He knew that this mistake would definitely open fire, so he raised his hand and said, "If the Imperial Doctor wants to talk about King Qi, please step down......
Liu Che made a very unbearable look and said: "King Qi, Uncle Wang, even if there is a mistake, it is also a small mistake, so don't catch it......"
It's like a loli poor baba looked at a loli and said: "Uncle, although I don't mind, but three years to start, the maximum death penalty is ......"
Chao Cuo and the ministers, where can they still endure it?
At that moment, Chao Cuo knelt down and bowed indignantly: "Your Majesty, Jiangshan Sheji is the Jiangshan Sheji of Emperor Gao, the Jiangshan Sheji of Emperor Taizong, and the Jiangshan Sheji of Emperor Xiaojing of the First Emperor Renzong, not the only person of His Majesty!" ”
"Shiyun: Sleepy night bandits, one person...... I also hope that Your Majesty knows that the old minister's fist is pure and ......"
"And husband, King Qi, it's not just a small mistake......"
Chao Cuo is like the outspoken exhortation in the history books, like Bigan and Weizi, with a solemn expression, and a righteous and awe-inspiring worship: "The old minister, this is just the contemptible husband of Yingchuan...... plough in the countryside, and do not seek to reach the princes...... Fortunately, the first emperor did not give up, and entrusted the ministers with military affairs, and awarded the ministers with the weight of orphans......"
"Now the king of Qi is in chaos, the country and the people are harmed, and the ministers have to be impeached......"
Behind Chao Cuo, including Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, the three princes and nine ministers, civil and military ministers, are now all united.
Even those enemies who were wrong are now standing behind them.
All of these people knelt down with Chao Cuo and bowed: "The Imperial Doctor is wrong......
"Prime Minister's Father......"
"The rulers of the gold and the ministers are all ......"
"The great farmer does not doubt ......"
"Taichangchen Peng Zu ......"
"Great Hung Chen, Kun Evil ......"
Even the Xiongnu Guiyi Shan Yu seemed to understand something, and he also lay on the ground and said in half-baked Chinese: "Shan Yu Chenyi ......"
In an instant, the entire Xuanshu Palace, hundreds of officials, all knelt down collectively, and pleaded in unison: "May Your Majesty put the world first and listen to the words of Sheji......"
Liu Che looked at this scene, and his eyes suddenly moistened.
It was touched.
He looked around, among these ministers, there were Legalists, Huang Lao, pro-Confucian, and even Mohists.
But, they are now united.
Liu Che dared to guarantee that they would never collude in private—because no one, not even he, had the ability to do the ideological work of so many factions in one night......
And there is only one answer - that is, now, no courtier would tolerate anyone talking about peace with the Xiongnu - not even the Huns themselves, such as Guiyi Shan Yu Xia Yi......
The only thing that can have such great ability is profit.
A powerful and invincible interest group similar to the military-industrial complex of the Miti!
Only such interest groups can burst out with such terrible power and make such concerted actions.
After all, in the face of actions that harm one's own interests, there is no need to coordinate and negotiate at all, and there is no need to even go through the brain.
Just slap your ass to react!
And for this day, Liu Che spent seven years, invested countless manpower and material resources, constantly imperceptibly, constantly advocating the conquest of the world, constantly using interests to win over, and using practical benefits to confuse.
even did not hesitate to play the magic skill of dividends such as the grace order.
And now it seems that everything is worth it.
Because, today, a new and powerful interest group that can challenge everything has officially taken shape.
It pervades all classes, takes root in all groups, uses the ideological theories of the hundred schools of thought as the foundation, and uses the military and national strength of the Han army as its tentacles, and finally materializes in this court.
There is only one characteristic of it - whoever stands in the way of my expansion, I will kill him!
Moreover, the group has strong roots.
Politically, there are the princes and nobles as their backers, in the military, there are hundreds of thousands of elites to rely on, and economically, there are countless military nobles and generals, as well as those businessmen who are eager for war.
Basically, this group already coexisted with the Han Empire.
Want to wipe it out?
Destroy the Han Empire first!
Like Midi's military-industrial complex and Wall Street, I am the empire, and the empire is me.
Interest groups are powerful and irresistible forces.
You only have to look at the various schools of thought that have been defeated in front of interest groups to know that this monster, as long as it grows, you can't destroy it unless you destroy it all at once.
The group can have internal differences, but externally, it is absolutely united and terrible.
And Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, is the first victim in the mouth of this monster.
How could Liu Che not be moved?
Until this moment, he finally knew that everything about himself could be saved, and there would be no possibility of anyone dying.
Just like what Shang Jun did in the Qin State back then.
People are dying.
With this interest group to escort them, all foreign enemies will be crushed to pieces.
The Han Empire has become an empire on which the sun never sets, and it is finally possible!
Merely......
Liu Che knows that there are pros and cons to everything.
It's like a coin.
There are positives, and there must be negatives.
Interest groups, but they want to eat people!
For example, the invincible landlord and gentry bureaucracy in history ruled China for 2,000 years, especially the civil bureaucracy after the Song Dynasty.
The consequence was the prevalence of the ritual system and the beginning of the rule of the country.
Now, this new interest group may not be much better.
It was born for expansion, and it must fight for expansion.
For the sake of their own development and growth, and for their own strength, they must not hesitate to sacrifice others.
After all, imperialism doesn't care whether you are one of your own or an outsider.
Just like capital, there is never a nationality.
However, there is no need to worry about these issues for the time being.
The dividends of victory in foreign wars and the benefits of foreign expansion are enough to erase all contradictions and cover up all problems.
As long as China's society continues to progress, while the dividends are still there, it develops to a certain extent and enters the industrial society, then all problems will be solved again.
And when these veiled problems erupt......
Liu Che felt that most of his bones should be rotten.
Children and grandchildren must have the wisdom of children and grandchildren, and Liu Che has no need to worry about them.
"Wait for ......" Liu Che made a look of embarrassment, sighed, and said: "Since Qing and others insist on this, then I will listen to you...... However, I would like to explain in advance that the mistake of King Qi now is just a small mistake, and I will never cause the king to be punished because of this......"
That's for sure.
In China, no matter what time it was, except when it was the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Mengyuan Dynasty, and the Great Xing Literary Prison, no other dynasty dared to bear the charge of 'blocking the way of speech' and not letting people speak.
Whoever does it will definitely be scolded for a thousand years, or even ten thousand years!
Therefore, in China, the nobles and doctors have always enjoyed full freedom of speech.
Even a king cannot be deprived.
Historically, there were not one or two people who washed the emperor's face with spitting stars.
Otherwise, why do you think the Donglin Party likes to cheat the court staff so much?
Isn't it just a way to gain prestige?
In any case, it is impossible for Liu Che to talk about the matter of Liu Jianglu's performance.
That's basically the same as openly telling the world that I'm a single husband!
However, Chinese politics has always had a great sense of humor.
For example, most of the aristocratic bureaucrats who were executed would certainly not have died for the crime for which they were executed.
It's just an excuse -- an excuse to fool the world.
Most of them were even pressed up.
For example, King Li of Huainan is also like the current King of Qi Liu Jianglu.
This is the rule of the game, and it is also the unique culture of China.
It's just that this sense of humor, in the eyes of those involved, is not humorous at all, but full of cruelty and cold-bloodedness. (To be continued.) )
