Chapter 19 The Great Rule of the World
Lai Junchen made such a fuss, everyone knew how powerful Emperor Wu was, and understood that this time was different from the past, and the days of getting by were gone.
As for the rebellion? No one dared to mention it.
The current Wu Zhou does not have Gaozong's leniency, only severe punishment and strict law. Habits are very difficult to change, they are used to enslaving the people, but one day, suddenly they can't enslave, how uncomfortable should these Venerable Masters be?
Hundreds of officials from the government and the opposition complained, why is the heaven-killing Lai Junchen so fierce?
But no one dares to commit crimes against the wind, and there are a lot of lessons from the past. Lending? Is there a backstage? No, then you're done. Yes? You play with the backstage. Forcibly taking a farmhouse? You're done.
Lai Junchen will not tolerate these wealthy families who have been bullied and envied before.
Emperor Wu's high-pressure policy, everyone slowly understands, as long as the law is played, Lai Junchen will be suspected of guilt.
Appeal to the Emperor? Sorry, the Martial Emperor is his biggest supporter.
Even Lai Junchen persecuted the Wang family because of a woman, and the Wang family had no choice but to marry a daughter, but Emperor Wu endured it. A smart, easy-to-use person who points the finger at Haoqiang rather than the people is not easy to find.
However, the torture of Lai Junchen also has many potential drawbacks, and yesterday his colleagues became prisoners, which caused a situation where everyone was in danger, and it was unstable for a long time. Even if the purifier clears himself, it will inevitably fly into trouble.
Although, in the elimination of the ills of the previous dynasty, it has an unparalleled role.
During the Gaozong period, the officials were lax, as long as the general direction could follow Gaozong's will and follow Gaozong's will, it was not a heinous crime, and in most cases, Gaozong would open his eyes and turn a blind eye. After all, the virtuous need to be passed on by these people's mouths. And Gaozong is indeed arbitrary, he wants to fight, the Quartet recruitment has always been smooth and smooth, he wants to expand the territory, Tubo Goryeo Turks, good news is frequent. Gaozong's bottom line is that Liming can maintain the most basic survival and maintain the peace of the Tang Dynasty, so the monarchs and ministers are in harmony and take what they need. Even the Luoyang famine did not cause major social problems, and Gaozong was also thunderous and rainy, punishing some executors without in-depth investigation. A king who is unwilling to expose his weaknesses and shortcomings is naturally unwilling to take political risks.
However, this is not the case with Emperor Wu.
What she wants is the real rule of the world and the peace of the world.
The current bureaucratic mentality of getting bypass is undoubtedly a major obstacle to the realization of her ambitions. Fighting drought and flooding and ensuring survival can no longer be regarded as the key to the examination of political achievements, and the people must bathe in the imperial grace of the rich Wu Zhou, and the rain and dew will be stained.
Hindrance, nature, cannot be tolerated.
Although people's hearts can never be satisfied, she still substitutes everyone step by step into her direction, her ideals.
Those who obey me prosper and those who disobey me perish, which has more meaning, obeying the emperor can get the power and benefits you want, and if you don't obey, you will lose everything.
The empress was not harsh on her subordinates, and after taking office, the salaries of officials more than tripled, which was much more nourishing than the survival of the common people. Of course, this is certainly not as good as the oil and water of being an official in the court during the reign of Gaozong.
Fortunately, this is an increase in legal income, so it can only be regarded as a benefit for those innocent officials.
Those who are bent on obtaining illegal income have their own Junchen waiting for him. Lai Junchen's case-handling efficiency is very high, because evidence can be made, rumors, can achieve a person's reputation, and can also make people die in an instant without a place to be buried.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty officialdom was unprecedentedly upright, and these people were not sure that they could overthrow the rule of the female emperor, and the people's lives improved, and they all thought of the good of the female emperor.
Perhaps at the beginning of Emperor Wu's ascension to the throne, many people were prejudiced against her, thinking that it was difficult for women to take charge. But now, life has really changed for the better, and it's no longer just about being able to survive. is better than Gaozong, it is said that when Taizong was in time, he was not as comfortable as he is now.
Man dies for money, birds die for food, but for those officials, no one will choose property in front of the choice between life and property.
Shen Sanwen thought about it, during Wu Zetian's time, there were indeed a lot of loyal ministers and good ministers, but many of them could not be used by future generations, except for those who died of natural illness, only Yao Chong and Song Jing could be used in Kaiyuan. Probably many people were forced to be this clean official and virtuous minister. Therefore, on the one hand, this group of people is reluctant to give up power, and on the other hand, they hope to see the fall of Emperor Wu and usher in a new monarch who is easy to manipulate.
Time is as plain as water.
Princess Taiping and Shen Sanwen ushered in the first crystallization of love. When Emperor Wu heard the news, he expanded the princess's fiefdom and directly increased it to 4,000 households.
Overstepping the system, it is very ordinary for a female emperor, if she strictly follows the system, how can she sit on the throne. Therefore, she will certainly not abide by some rules that seem old and ridiculous to her.
The princess was a little worried that such a heavy reward would attract a frenzy of jealous people. It's not terrible to be favored, but it's terrible to not know what kind of vicious scheming the person behind your back will use to deal with you. The word flying misfortune is by no means made up by the ancients, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, nor is it.
The Wu family and the Li family have never had such an honor. 4,000 households, and the fiefdom of the Tang prince is only 3,000 households.
What's more, there is no prince yet.
All of a sudden, public opinion turned around, could it be that Emperor Wu intended to let Princess Taiping inherit the unification?
This low-key and luxurious princess, except for Song Jing's affairs, has no political performance, and no one knows her political actions.
If it weren't for the precedent of not having a crown princess, I'm afraid the princess would have been treated like this.
Many people are thinking about Princess Taiping's recommendation of Song Jing, what kind of relationship and what kind of connection the two have. How can you leverage your strength to soar into the sky like Song Jing.
There are also some people who envy and envy the princess, hoping that Emperor Wu's favor for the princess will fall on their heads.
There was another person who was very panicked. is now the titular heir of the emperor, Wu Lun.
I don't know if I'm worried that my sister will control the government in the future, or if I'm worried that his throne will not be guaranteed. At present, it seems that Emperor Wu will most likely pass on the throne to his own son, the imperial brother is far away in the world, but Wu Lun can stay in Beijing, and the winning side is naturally the greatest, but now there is a dark horse.
King Yin, who has always lived in a simple house and was afraid of falling into rumors, visited his sister in person with a heavy congratulatory gift when his sister was happy.
Wu Lun smiled very freely, "The imperial sister is overjoyed." ”
Perhaps this is a compulsory course in the Emperor's House, no matter joy, anger or sorrow, you can learn it slowly and keep it in your heart.
Princess Taiping responded earnestly, "I haven't seen the imperial brother for many days, how is the imperial brother?" ”
Wu Lun looked very restrained, "Very good, very good." ”
When Wu Lun came to visit, he naturally had something important to discuss with his own sister, and Shen San asked for a curious withdrawal.
Wu Lun burst into tears, "Imperial sister, now the situation of the imperial brother, you also know that the mother emperor favors Wu Sansi, and Wu Chengsi is a hero who actively assists the mother emperor to ascend the throne. Now the only person you can trust in Luoyang is the royal sister, and the mother still loves you, and you must not abandon you as a brother. ”
Princess Taiping sighed, "I should help the imperial brother to help each other, but now my situation is also difficult, if there is anything missing, the imperial brother must not be surprised." ”
