Kill the one who cries the temple!

This order did not pass through the Criminal Department, but was issued directly to Jinyiwei.

If you pass the Criminal Department, you will inevitably need to have a fight with those ministers, and you will waste a little time, but it will be much easier to pass through Jinyiwei.

The birth of this institution comes from this.

Authorized by the Son of Heaven, special affairs!

Gangnam.

In a temple of literature.

After some of the squire patriarchs came here, they began to cry in a group, their fame was not small, and they could easily incite many people, those low-level people were encouraged by them, some people cried with them, and others appealed in a group, hoping that the court would take back their fate.

The crying temple with such a large number of people often attracts the attention of the imperial court and also gives the local government a headache.

As soon as the officials of the government touched the interests of these gentry, they used this trick to appeal, and over time, it even became a custom.

If it were other emperors, he would be more or less afraid of the opinions of these gentry and the people, and mainly focus on appeasement, after all, the law does not blame the public, so you can't arrest all these troublemakers, right? There are so many people involved.

This time, though, their expectations were clearly going to be disappointed.

In fact, these gentry and wealthy families also know that His Majesty is not such an easy to compromise monarch, and it is very risky for them to do so, and it is easy to get into trouble.

But even though they knew this, they still did it without hesitation.

It's really the decree of the imperial court that is too ruthless.

The trick of splitting the family directly hit their main artery, and if it is executed, these big families will fall apart!

In order to regain their previous power and status, these people have to fight to the end, regardless of the consequences.

At this moment, this Jiangnan Confucian Temple is in the middle of this.

The sound of crying was endless, and all kinds of complaining words came out together, and these gentry patriarchs who were high in the past were like resentful women at the moment, frantically complaining about the court.

They don't dare to say it directly, if they say it directly, it will be a big rebellion, of course this kind of thing can't be done, they won't be stupid to this point, but the yin and yang weirdness that goes around the bush, and even borrowing the sayings of the saints, is still okay.

For example, Mencius's classic quotation.

"The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy! ”

Just when these people were crying and complaining, suddenly a team of brocade guards wearing armor pushed through the crowd and broke in directly.

"Jinyiwei is handling the case, and the idle people are waiting to dodge quickly!"

When a team of brocade guards broke in, the patriarchs who were crying and complaining were stunned, their eyes widened one by one, and they were a little panicked for a while.

"You ...... What are you going to do? ”

Faced with such a ridiculous question, Ji Zhengwu, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, smiled coldly and said, "What are you going to do?" You're in trouble!! ”

"We are just here to worship the sages and saints, and we have not done anything, is it also wrong to worship the sages and saints? What kind of sin is this? Why are you arresting people? "Some people were still not convinced and decided to fight.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately responded, and many people were even more indignant.

"Master Li is right! Are we still sinning when we worship the sages and saints here? ”

"Why are you arresting people??"

"Can Jinyiwei arrest people casually?"

"Da Ming has a king's law, you can't be so lawless!"

"We worship the sages and saints here with the master, and we haven't done anything, you can't just arrest people!!"

These people have opened their mouths to dissuade them, if it is an ordinary official errand, it is really difficult to do things forcibly, and if it provokes the anger of the public, it is really difficult to deal with it.

But for Jin Yiwei, this is not a matter at all.

The deputy commander of Jinyiwei made Ji Zhengwu directly draw out the embroidered spring knife and directly kill the person who rushed over and was about to push them.

A good human head was thrown away in an instant, and then rolled to the ground.

The man who was killed, before he even reacted, looked around with his eyes in disbelief, and blinked, he couldn't believe that he had been killed like this!

The rest of the body, like a fountain, sprayed for a while before falling straight to the ground.

And the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, Ji Zhengwu's knife, not even a drop of blood was stained!

What a fast knife!

No one could see how the knife came from, and the man was already dead.

The death of this person made everyone who was still noisy quiet in an instant, and everyone was stunned for a while, these people saw the ruthlessness of Jinyiwei for the first time, and they killed people directly if they didn't agree with each other!

What kind of people are powerful, what law does not blame the public, in front of these brocade guards, it is nothing at all!

Even the old man Li who stood up to speak earlier was so frightened that he took a step back.

Looking around at everyone, Ji Zhengwu said indifferently:

"I'll say it again, Jinyi Wei is doing things, and the idlers are waiting to dodge quickly!!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people were scattered like fish, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye, and those squire patriarchs wanted to mix in the crowd and leave, but they were directly stopped by Jinyiwei.

The aura and temperament on their bodies, as well as the clothes they wear, can be said to be completely different from those people, if this can still make them run, then the brocade guards will eat dry food.

"Great, my lord......" Master Li, who was indignant before, stammered at this moment and asked, "What kind of crime are we?" ”

"Inciting the people, gathering crowds to make trouble, and openly resisting the imperial decrees, what crime do you say you have committed?"

Ji Zhengwu said coldly, and then he didn't bother to say anything, and the dying person, there was no need to say so much.

Ji Zhengwu waved his hand, and immediately Jinyi Wei took away these squires and rich men who cried temples.

Although these people will definitely die, they still have to go through the procedure, first arrest Jinyiwei prison, use the Great Memory Recovery Technique, let them know their crimes, and then clarify the canonical punishment, it is still very necessary.

This time, the Jiangnan Crying Temple case ended with the beheading of more than a dozen squire patriarchs, and the imperial court proved its attitude to all the squires and wealthy families in the world - no separation, if you still want to resist, then die!

After hearing the news,

Some people who were ready to emulate these Jiangnan patriarchs were suddenly glad that they hadn't learned!

If you really learn, you'll die!

Although the separation of the family is really painful for these squire patriarchs to cut meat on their bodies with knives, as a descendant of the family, they can get a fairly good family property and continue to live a good life, but it is not as good as before.

There are precedents of these dozen unlucky patriarchs, and not many people dare to resist together, and for a while, family separation activities are in full swing all over the country.

Zheng Zhai Town.

The Zheng family's mansion.

Zheng Bao was high up, sitting in the position of the patriarch above, and everyone below was all in the same lineage, and the faces of the big guys were ugly at this moment.

The property that belongs to them will be divided!

How uncomfortable is that?

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Father, isn't there any room for maneuver in this matter?" ”

"No, this is the result of the court's trial of us, to a certain extent, the tide of separation staged across the country was caused by the incident before our Zheng family." Zheng Bao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said helplessly.

He knew very well that the general trend was like this, and a small Zheng family would not be able to resist.

The descendants below were still a little unwilling, and just wanted to say something, but at this moment, the Zheng family, who had a good lineage, came over and shouted that they wanted to divide the family and get their own family property!

The matter of separating the family is not too uncomfortable for the lineage, but for the lineage, it is a great joy, they are all going crazy, and they don't need the urging and supervision of the court, these people take the initiative to start negotiating with the master's family, and want to get a piece of the family property they deserve!

After seeing this group of people, Zheng Bao was furious, and his lungs were about to explode for a while.

"Bastard! Bastard thing!! ”

Zheng Bao angrily pointed at these people with a cane, and he said with great annoyance: "Have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of the Zheng family back then? How did we come to be in this home? The court forced us to split the family, and you actually took the initiative to rush over to split the family, do you really think that the separation is a good thing?! ”

"The reason why my Zheng family has been brilliant for so many years is because of generations of living together, hugging together, and never abandoning, that we have today's day!"

"You guys are really young!"

The patriarch Zheng Bao was angry, and those who were clamoring for a split up suddenly became dumbfounded.

However, some people still said hesitantly: "Patriarch, it's not that we want to divide the family, but this is an order from the imperial court, of course we have to complete the separation as soon as possible, if we wait for the people from the imperial court to come over and divide the family under their supervision, it will be insincere!" ”

As soon as this person spoke, someone immediately echoed it, if in normal times, as a concubine, he was born a head shorter than these descendants, not to mention that in the face of the patriarch, he didn't dare to refute at all, let alone speak, but now it's different.

Now, there is the imperial court to support them, standing behind them to support them, with such a big banner, even if they are in the same vein, they dare to argue with the patriarch.

"Yes! Patriarch, Xiu Qing beat those people out of the office before, and it caused this matter, and it has nothing to do with us! But now we don't let the court see our sincerity and complete the division ahead of schedule, what if we are punished again? ”

"That's right, let's split up in advance and let the court see our sincerity, that's it!"

"Yes, this is an order from the imperial court, of course we are very unwilling, but there is no way!"

The men said with sad faces, but they almost laughed out loud.

Everyone's rebuttal made the patriarch Zheng Bao silent, in the past, these people didn't dare to talk back to him at all, but now...... People's hearts are scattered!

The imperial court's strategy of dividing the family is really powerful!

Zheng Bao sighed helplessly, slowly closed his eyes, and then said slowly: "Then split up in advance!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the descendants in the room were like ashes, and those who rushed over were in the same vein, and the smiles on the corners of their mouths were almost impossible to hide, and many people pretended to be serious and covered their mouths with their hands.

However, there was still a junior who couldn't hold back and laughed directly.

The laughter was so piercing that all the people in the room looked at him with wide eyes.

"What are you laughing at!"

"Don't get me wrong, I just thought of something happy about." This junior hurriedly explained, but this explanation seems to be getting darker and darker!

……

With the division of the gentry and wealthy families across the country in full swing, the offices set up by the imperial court can be said to have taken advantage of the situation and set up just right.

Those gentry and wealthy families patronized the infighting, where could they still manage the disputes of the people, and the office at this time just came to solve this kind of problem, and logically solved the historical problem of the imperial power going to the countryside.

As the ruling power of the imperial power penetrated deep into the countryside, Su Che would do whatever he wanted.

The promotion of the literacy private school was very smooth, and the pinyin that Su Che took out has also become a sharp weapon for literacy.

At the same time, Su Che also promoted simplified Chinese, which made it even more difficult to eliminate illiteracy.

When pinyin and simplified Chinese characters go hand in hand, as long as you study carefully, you can basically learn a lot.

In ancient times, it was not difficult to promote simplified characters.

Because simplified Chinese characters are not only in modern times, but have existed since ancient times, which can be said to have a long history.

Simplifying fonts is the general trend of history, not something that has only begun to be implemented in modern times.

Many of the modern simplified characters are simplified characters used by the people, and some are derived from cursive script.

At present, the earliest bamboo slips and silk books of the Han tomb unearthed in Mawangdui can be seen, and many of them are simplified characters.

It is said that some simplified characters also belong to the pre-Qin script.

The inscriptions of the Northern and Southern Dynasties have some simplified characters, and by the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were many simplified characters, which were quite common among the people, and these simplified characters were called "vulgar characters" at that time.

Many of the simplified characters used now were actually already in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

In the Tang Dynasty, Yan Yuansun's "Ganlu Character Book" and Wang Renyun's "Publication Fallacies and Missing Cut Rhymes" both collected a lot of vulgar characters (simplified characters).

After the Song Dynasty, with the invention of printing, simplified characters were transferred from inscriptions and handwriting to engraving and printing books, thus expanding the popularity of simplified characters, and the number increased greatly.

The Ming Dynasty also contributed a lot of simplified characters, more than one percent.

Eight to ninety percent of modern simplified Chinese characters are ancient Chinese characters.

Therefore, it is really not a fantasy to promote simplified Chinese characters in ancient times, and there is not much difficulty.

As time passed, Su Che did not rush to come up with a new decree, the state machinery of the Ming Dynasty had been running at high load for a long time, and he needed a little time to rest.

These days, the literacy campaign has been a great success, and simplified Chinese characters have been thoroughly circulated among the people, and even the official ones have been affected, including the recitals received by Su Che, which are basically composed of simplified characters, which is also advocated by Su Che and is popular with everyone.

During this time, Su Che also took a moment to revise some unreasonable parts of the edict.
