Chapter 502: Changing the Law and Interrupting the Purge of the Army
Emperor Xiaoxian died, and the crown prince Wang Zhuo succeeded to the throne. After Wang Zhuo succeeded to the throne, he did not change the yuan, but let Lingyou change the yuan when the new year came after the three years passed.
Change the first year of Lingwu.
Although Emperor Xiaoxian did not reign for a long time, the crown prince had already reached adulthood, and the Daqian royal family also had perfect inheritance rules, and there was no turmoil in Wang Zhuo's ascension.
It's just that two emperors have died in just three years, which makes the situation that has just stabilized in the court become treacherous.
The ministers did not dare to bet at will, and they were also worried about whether the current emperor would also suddenly collapse.
As the saying goes, once the son of heaven is a courtier, who knows whether this emperor will promote his old ministers of the East Palace or other courtiers after he ascends the throne.
After all, compared to them, he is more familiar with the former ministers of the East Palace, and he is more in tune with him.
Wang Zhuo ascended the throne, because Wang Cheng did not leave a lonely minister, so some of the ministers below could not be suppressed. In this case, he could no longer continue to implement the reforms.
It's not easy to maintain the current situation.
Judging from the name, Wang Zhuo knew that he was not a very intelligent person. Therefore, even if they want to continue to promote the reform policy of their father and grandfather, they are also powerless.
The nobles and ministers of Luoyang have not changed, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they naturally dare not make any small moves, plus the vast majority of them are public offices, and their attitude has always been to follow the royal family.
Whatever attitude the royal family has, they have whatever attitude they have. After all, as long as they don't fall, they won't fall. Now that the emperor has not implemented any more reforms, they will not say anything.
But for those reformist officials, they have even less choice. They can only maintain the current situation, and if they want to go further, it is difficult to reach the sky.
Wang Zhuo began to rectify the super-outline, had to make some compromises, and the reform and change gradually ended in these compromises, although there are still patrols to inspect the imperial history to inspect the world, and there are still pioneers and nobles to open up wild lands, but these are all sewn and patched on the original basis.
Especially after the previous batch of pioneer nobles occupied the best places, the new batch of pioneer nobles could only go to worse places if they wanted to open up, and the previous pioneer nobles did not welcome these latecomers.
Although the limit given by the imperial court back then was thirty miles and fifty miles, what kind of place is this? The Emperor of the Mountain is far away, and there is no place to even inspect the imperial history, and the people sent by the imperial court want to know how big this place is, isn't it what they say?
Besides, the people sent by the imperial court over the years have basically taken a look at it casually, and they don't care how big this place is. They are more concerned about the population, the acres of land.
Therefore, the minds of these pioneer nobles were active, wanting to get more land, and as for whether they would rebel after gaining more land, even the most unruly pioneer nobles did not think of rebellion.
They were aristocrats, more aware of the power of this big money, and never thought of rebelling.
Because the Great Qian court collapsed two emperors in a row, and the prime minister who presided over the reform also died, after the reform stopped, no one cared about these pioneering nobles to expand their territory.
As long as these pioneering nobles are still honest and obedient, and the annual offerings are in place, the officials of the imperial court are too lazy to care, after all, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and it will take half a year to go back and forth. With such a long distance, coupled with the high degree of autonomy of these nobles, it is completely impossible for you to make them honest.
So thirty years have passed, and the first batch of pioneering nobles have tacitly expanded their territories one by one, and they naturally don't want other nobles to come here to seize their territory.
It is precisely for these reasons that there are fewer and fewer new pioneer aristocrats.
This great dry river and mountains are like a pool of calm water, and there is no ripple on the calm water surface, but under this water surface, I don't know how many undercurrents are surging.
But under the great Qianhuang Huangtian might, no one dares to surpass. Although Wang Zhuo could not continue to implement the reforms, he also had a complete royal education, understood the sufferings of the people, understood the importance of the economy and the army, and also knew that the major affairs of the country were in worship.
So he watched these things very closely, and even during the period of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, the emperor's daily patrol of the forbidden army's capital camp was picked up by him, and he reverted to customization.
This custom was first left by the first emperor, requiring the emperors of all dynasties, as long as they sat in Luoyang for a day, did not get sick and couldn't walk, and went to Beijing every day to patrol and understand the situation in Beijing and let the soldiers of Beijing know themselves.
Let them know who will pay them and who they will be loyal to. Only in this way can you control the army.
It's just that after insisting on three or four generations, this rule will gradually be abolished, and the emperor often goes when he is young, but later, when the emperor is old, he will arrange for the prince to go instead of him.
And after the crown prince succeeded to the throne, it directly became a three-day or five-day one, and gradually this rule disappeared.
As for the exhortation of the officials below, this is even more unlikely. The officials below did not want the emperor to control the military power, after all, if the emperor held the handle of the sword, they would have to be cautious.
Now in order to stabilize the government, Wang Zhuo has picked up this rule again. At the beginning, there were still many officials who persuaded him that His Majesty was tired of dealing with the government and was not overworking for the sake of the dragon's health, and the tour of the Beijing camp should be canceled.
As a result, he was scolded by Wang Zhuo, and issued an edict to directly dismiss him, and then asked the embroidered envoy to investigate his situation. Sure enough, the embroidered envoy soon discovered that he was born as a commoner and passed the examination of the school palace and became an official, but there were thousands of hectares of fertile land and several manors at home.
With such a huge wealth, even if he has been an official for another thirty years, he can't make up half of it. Wang Zhuo directly ordered someone to take him down and torture him severely.
When the others saw this, they immediately did not dare to speak.
After Wang Zhuo began to inspect the Beijing camp, he found that there were many cats in the Beijing camp, and some officials dared to eat empty salaries and drink the blood of soldiers; although the Beijing camp was still capable of fighting, its strength was more than a step worse than that of the elite cadres who dominated the world in those years.
On the one hand, after the emergence of the great cadres and the nobles, there were buffer zones between the great cadres and the barbarians in many places, and the soldiers of the great cadres did not have to fight with the barbarians often, and the other part was the problem of corruption among the army generals.
After discovering the problems in the army, Wang Zhuo was furious, you must know that the army is one of the most important places for the Daqian royal family, and it is absolutely forbidden for others to touch it, and now there are people trying to mess up the army, which is absolutely intolerable to Wang Zhuo.
Wang Zhuo directly ordered the embroidered envoy to examine the generals of the army, and at the same time ordered Yu Linwei to go to guard it. Prepare to purge the army.
