760 The beginning of the establishment of the Third Reich of the Han Dynasty
Mrs. Dong is still the empress dowager, Liu Yu is still Situ, Lu Zhi is still the captain, Zheng Xuan is still the Taixue sacrificial wine, Ma Riyan is still the imperial historian, Guo Hong is still the captain of Sili, and Cao Cao is still the Yin of Henan.
They have done a good job in this position, and the current political ecology is very stable, and there is no need to change it for the time being.
As for the vacant positions among the three princes and nine secretaries, Liu Bei did not plan to make any proper arrangements, in his plan, the system of the three princes and nine secretaries could move towards the direction of honor and vain.
Most of these positions would soon become honorary positions, offered to respected old officials who were not part of his lineage, giving them honor and allowing them to enjoy their old age in peace.
In addition to this, what he really intended to use to govern the country was the Six-Ministries system, which was quite smooth during the era of the Great General's Palace.
In the era of the Great General's Palace, there were no chiefs in the actual sense, and it can also be said that the chiefs were Liu Bei himself, and there were only the heads in charge of the affairs in the six departments, and there were no chiefs such as Shangshu Shilang.
When they enter the professional era, it is not too late to prepare for these things.
Some of the generals and officials thought that they would be richly rewarded and hoped to go further politically, but they were somewhat disappointed, but they soon found that no one had gained any political benefits in this incident.
Everyone is the same, there are only material rewards and honorary rewards, and in terms of actual power, Liu Bei has not changed.
So they all had a guess, maybe the real change was behind, and Liu Bei needed stability at present, not change.
Such a guess is correct.
After the enthronement ceremony, Liu Bei announced that he would insist on the Jian'an era name until the end of the year, and wait for next year, he would change the year name to Zhenguan.
The two words Zhenguan are taken from the sentence "The Way of Heaven and Earth, Zhenguan" in the Book of Changes, "The Way of Heaven and Earth, Zhenguan", which means the way of heaven and earth, that is, the development of everything in heaven and earth has its own certain objective law, and this law is "positive".
Therefore, the meaning of Zhenguan is to show people with righteousness.
Liu Bei believes that he ascended the throne as emperor in order to bring the righteous path back to the world and let the righteous path shine in the world, and he wanted to change the hearts of the people who have been declining for more than a hundred years, so that people's will can return to the right path.
Finally, Liu Bei announced that he would bring the traitors captured in the early morning operation to eradicate the traitors to the palace.
On this monumental moment, he will put this group of bastards on such an occasion in public trial, nailing them to the pillar of shame in history.
The "traitors" led by Zheng Tai, Jia Xi, and Dong Zhong were escorted to the Chongde Hall by Liu Bei's Tiger Guards, and under the gaze of the Manchu officials, this group of people was clothed and scattered, tied up with five flowers, and lost their dignity.
Themselves, along with their families, were tied together, crying, bowing their heads, and staggering.
The officials present looked at this miserable scene, and privately began to exchange the identities of this group of people, and soon, the identity of this group of people belonging to the group of people within the ancient literature school and Liu Bei was exposed, and spread among the groups of officials.
The ancient literature school has never been monolithic, whether it was in the past or now, Liu Bei has always had enemies, but they didn't expect that Liu Bei's enemies would end up in this way.
In the end, they are the people of the valve reading family, Zheng Tai, Jia Xi, and the Kong pod who cried loudly, they are all the masters of the valve reading in the end, and now they are actually arrested by Liu Bei in this way.
Could it be that Liu Bei wants to clean them up as part of the same Valve Reading family?
Previously, the valve reading family of the modern literature school has been purged, and now the valve reading family within the ancient literature school is also facing purge?
Starting from the Runan Yuan family, this Liu Bei is really a bit of a valve reading killer, but obviously he himself is the master of the valve reading.
Everyone was nervously waiting for the outcome of this matter, waiting for how Liu Bei would deal with them.
Liu Bei's disposal was of course very simple.
Clan punishment.
If you offend the Son of Heaven, or immediately the Son of Heaven, is it something that is easy to pass?
The new official took office with three fires, and the new emperor had to burn at least thirty fires when he ascended to the throne, and this first one should start from the valve reading family, and start burning from the valve reading family with enough political weight, so as to establish his own attributes that are not the same as those of the past Eastern Han emperors.
He is not an emperor who needs to rely on Wei Wei and Xiangrui to stabilize his position.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Third Empire of the Han Dynasty, it was necessary to start with the elimination of the Valve Reading family and the elimination of the Political Science Lord.
The main "criminal" among these people was escorted into the main hall of the Chongde Hall by Liu Bei's tiger guards, and this group of people looked up at Liu Bei, who was dressed in the clothes of the Son of Heaven, and a large group of former colleagues with complicated faces, as well as the former Son of Heaven Liu Xie with a curious face.
They know it's all over.
Especially Zheng Tai, looking at Liu Bei with a solemn face above the high palace, he knew that everything was over.
The purpose of his spreading rumors was to make Liu Bei embark on the road of betrayal and separation, but he never expected Liu Bei to be so single, one step in place, and directly become the emperor.
That rumor was intended to make the people of the world and the royal family directly suspicious of him, and then set off a wave of doubts, so that Liu Bei would lose ground, thereby contributing to the comprehensive confrontation between him and the royal family, which would cause dissatisfaction among the local powerful factions, and then set off turmoil in the world.
After Liu Bei's defeat, Zheng Tai returned to the Central Plains as the lord of the lord of the valve, picking peaches to eat.
He thought very beautifully, but he didn't expect the royal family to kneel directly in the face of Liu Bei, give up struggling, and stop resisting, and then Liu Bei became a son of heaven.
Now, what should we do?
His ears couldn't help but think of what Liu Bei had warned him at the beginning - even if I will be defeated, I will destroy you before I am defeated, and you will not be able to get any benefits.
At this moment, at the moment when this admonition became a reality, Zheng Taezhen really felt extremely strong regrets, regretting what he had done, regretting his stupidity, and regretting his impulsive behavior that did not consider the consequences at all.
I'm still impulsive when I'm old, but what is the result?
There's no singing, right?
Zheng Tai regretted not being at the beginning.
If he still had a chance to speak, then he would definitely speak, although he was not sure whether to beg for mercy on the spot or scold Liu Bei, but when they came in, they were gagged with rags to prevent them from making a sound, so as not to dirty Liu Bei's ears.
So when Liu Bei announced the result of their trial, they had no other way but to twist their bodies and make a whining sound.
Even if they writhed, their room for twisting was very small, and the hands of the Tiger Guard soldiers behind them were like iron pincers, holding them tightly.
And Liu Bei's punishment of them was very intuitive.
The first is the heaviest punishment.
The Zheng family of Kaifeng in Henan Province and the Jia family of Fufeng Maoling deprived the Valu Yue family of their qualifications and exterminated the three clans.
The disciple family and the core protégé family affiliated to these two families are punished.
The rest of the protégé family has someone who is an official, abolished as a concubine, and the family is full of five generations are not allowed to be officials, can only farm, and all of them are assigned to settle in Lelang County in Liaodong region, and are not allowed to return to the Central Plains.
Although the Fufeng Maoling Kong clan and the Cangwu Guangxin Chen clan were not directly involved in this matter, they did not report their knowledge, their dissent was significant, they deposed the qualifications of the Valve-reading family, and the three clans migrated to Xuanwu County, and they were not allowed to be officials within five generations, and they could only farm.
All the disciples of the Kong family and the Chen family and their families were sent to settle in Xuansu County together, and they were not allowed to leave the government or return to the Central Plains for five generations.
All the protégés of the Kong family and the Chen family and their families were sent to settle in Liaodong County, and they were not allowed to leave the office or return to the Central Plains within five generations.
Such a severe punishment made the scholars and officials in the court shudder.
In a blink of an effort, the four conservative Valves were abolished, along with their disciples, protégés, and families, who were also implicated and would be wiped out.
How many people have been punished?
Isn't that too heavy?
Some people want to ask for a favor, everyone was also colleagues in the past, and they have worked together, don't do things so absolutely, isn't it good?
And more importantly, it doesn't matter if your old man abolished them, but they are also the ones who inherit the ancient classics, and they are also the ones who are deeply involved in the formulation of "Guardian Tongyi".
How should the basic ideology of the ancient literature school reconstructed with "Zhou Guanli" as the core continue to be improved?
Even if the dead are not important, this matter is extremely important.
But those who had this thought didn't dare to stand up, and in the face of Liu Bei, who had just ascended the throne, they really didn't dare to touch Liu Bei's moldy head at this time.
Of course, they also knew that not no one could make suggestions to Liu Bei at this time, as long as they were willing, they could put forward some ideas and opinions to Liu Bei at this time.
For example, Zheng Xuan, for example, Lu Zhi.
Someone looked at Zheng Xuan and found that Zheng Xuan was doing nothing with his eyes closed.
Someone looked at Lu Zhi and found that Lu Zhi was looking at his nose and nose and his heart, and he didn't do anything.
As a result, there is no suspense in this ending, the seven major lords of the ancient literature school, the seven families that have just become the top academic and political group of the Han Dynasty, in a blink of an eye, there are only three left.
Or in the blink of an eye, there are only three left in the Valve-reading family in the whole world.
The next to be punished were the eunuchs who were mainly the ten permanent servants, some of whom had been killed before, and some were caught alive, and Liu Bei's trial of them was simple and rude.
In the name of the Son of Heaven, they were sentenced to exterminate the three clans, and together with the henchmen of this group of people, they were all cleaned up by Liu Bei.
The group of uncooperative eunuchs led by the Ten Standing Servants has since left the stage of history.
Of course, this is also the inevitability of the times, and even when these eunuchs were disposed of, some people secretly applauded, seeing that this group of people was unlucky, they were even more excited than their own promotion and fortune.
There is no way, dealing with eunuchs is always politically correct.
In addition to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, the other eunuchs who were once amazed have all become Liu Bei's Son of Heaven experience package.
And then there's Dong Chong.
Because Dong Chong was also involved in this matter, with bad intentions and too guilty, Liu Bei announced the dismissal of all Dong Chong's positions and titles, confiscated all family property, and revoked all guards and slaves.
Together with his family, he will be confined to a separate courtyard at the foot of Shouyang Mountain in Luoyang City for the rest of his life, and can only live in the other courtyard, never leaving, and there will always be someone to take care of, that is, their family prison.
At this point, some people feel like they've seen something clearly.
Dong Chong's ending should be the result of some agreements reached between Liu Bei and Mrs. Dong.
Dong Zhong is the nephew of Mrs. Dong and the uncle of Liu Xie, the youngest son of heaven, and killing him in this situation would be too disrespectful to the former royal family who will take the throne.
Therefore, Liu Bei made a compromise and kept the lives of their family, as for the rest, there was no more, and the son of Dong Chong, who was killed by Dian Wei, would not be mentioned.
He is actually no different from dead, he can't leave a separate courtyard for the rest of his life, it seems that the standard of living will be very low, when Mrs. Dong is alive, she may still be able to help one or two, if Mrs. Dong is gone, how long can Dong Chong last?
No one dared to say.
In the end, it was a decision on the disposition of the gang of people.
The conservatives of the ancient literature school, the eunuch group, and the relative Dong Chong.
The henchmen of these three forces will all be treated as rebellious groups of the imperial court, and those who are outside the government and those who hold power will all be locked up and investigated.
If they have not committed a crime, they will be dismissed from their official positions, and they will go home to retire, and they will not be allowed to go out of office again, but no other punishment will be imposed.
Those who have committed crimes must be severely punished, and they must not think of falling into benefits, and they must spit out the benefits they have obtained over the years with principal and interest, and squeeze them out until they are drained, and never tolerate them.
And the people responsible for carrying out this task are the Zhongshutai, the Yushitai and the army.
These three parties will form a joint liquidation team to carry out a comprehensive liquidation of the henchmen of this group of audacious sinners, just as they did when the liquidation of the literary school and its henchmen was launched in the past.
Because such a thing had happened before, with the experience of the time, this wave of liquidation was also targeted, and others also had some expectations for the results of the liquidation.
The addition of the army indicates that there will be some instability in the local area, but because the military region system has been implemented, the five regular armies have been successfully stationed in the five military regions, and if there is any rebellion, the heads of each military region have the right to act independently.
Even if the liquidation team sent by the imperial court did not arrive in time, the heads of the major military regions had the right to clean up all those who rebelled and rebelled.
Therefore, this time, no one raised concerns about the instability of the world, and no one felt that the emperor who relied on military exploits could not suppress the "rebellion" in the world.
So, let's liquidate it, anyway, these guys are dead, and the political resources they vacated still have to be divided out, isn't it?
The enthronement ceremony is almost over here, Liu Bei has dealt with the things that should be dealt with at this time, and then announced that some rewards will be given to all the officials, officials, and soldiers who participated in the enthronement ceremony, so as to show benevolence.
Then everyone went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers, and the rest of the things could not be dealt with in public.
Mrs. Dong was tired enough, and she had a lot of things on her mind, so she had to go back to rest.
Liu Xie served Mrs. Dong and left, and when he passed by Liu Bei's side, he also asked Liu Bei when he could leave Luoyang and go to his fiefdom to "take office".
It can be seen that this kid doesn't want to stay here at all, and wants to go to a free place to enjoy a free life.
Liu Bei then smiled.
"You can do it anytime, if you want to, you can set off in a few days, but the Empress Dowager is not in good health and can't travel far, I suggest you stay in Luoyang to accompany her more, maybe there will be no chance in the future."
Liu Xie is not stupid, he knows the meaning of Liu Bei's words.
"Big Mother, She ......"
"Accompany her more, don't be in a hurry to leave, otherwise, it may be a lifetime of regret."
Liu Bei patted Liu Xie's shoulder: "You still have a lot of days to come, and you can still enjoy yourself, but your eldest mother is not necessarily, she raised you to grow up, you should always send her on the last ride." ”
Liu Xie lowered his head, revealing sadness.
"Okay, I know, uncle, I'm going to accompany my eldest mother."
"Hmm."
Liu Xie lowered his head and wiped his eyes, then turned around and left.
The two are not in harmony with a pair of former emperors and current emperors who have just completed the transition of power.
To be precise, during the five years that Liu Xie was the emperor, he did not hold power for even one day.
He has never felt what it is like to have power, so he will not understand what it means to lose power, he has always lived under Liu Bei's wing, it was, it is, and it will still be in the future.
The only difference is......
He doesn't have to do math anymore.
