Chapter 95: The Legalist Hedgehog
"In the first year of Ming Jiaqi, the new emperor ascended the throne.
The whole process of power change was very smooth, but the situation in the imperial court did not quickly return to stability, but became more and more treacherous.
At that time, the leader of the Xindonglin Party and the eunuch in charge of the seal were appointed as auxiliary ministers at the same time.
During the period of Emperor Wu, the New Donglin Party, which was walking on thin ice, finally had enough right to speak and had the capital to wrestle with the celebrant supervisor.
As soon as the two sides opened their stances and set up their carriages and horses, the opportunity for the fight appeared in due time.
The fuse that detonated everything was the national policy of the sin area implemented by Longwu Dili against public opinion - grabbing the water and soil in all directions and nourishing the heritage of Shenzhou.
This national policy is so strict that just the word 'grabbing' can be used to get a glimpse of the leopard.
The heavy tax pressure made the people in the criminal area boiling, and the blockade of the criminal people by the Ming official system made many ambitious people dissatisfied.
Therefore, after the death of Emperor Longwu, many sin areas such as Dongying, Annam, Sulu, Siam, Manchurian, and Zhanbei began to move.
The joint letter demanded the opening of the border barrier between the empire and the sin districts, and the transformation of the sin areas into provinces, so that they could communicate with each other and travel freely.
He even proposed to abolish the title of criminals, give criminals the same treatment as civilians in the empire, open the imperial examination widely, and allow Yiren to enter the official career.
At that time, the Imperial Honglu Temple was in charge of the management of the criminal area, and the power was in the hands of the celebrant supervisor.
The celebrant has always advocated the 'supremacy of the Ming people', and has not shrugged the pleas of the sin district at all.
Simply think that it is just a person with a vertical and horizontal family sequence to sow discord among them, incite these people to make a rebellion, and let the general army stationed in the local area send troops to suppress it.
The New Donglin Party brought out the theory of the Confucian sages that 'there is no class in education', believing that since Emperor Longwu had changed the vassal state into a criminal area and included it in the imperial jurisdiction, the criminal area was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the criminal people should also be the subjects of the empire.
The first emperor opened up his territory with guns and cannons, and the new emperor should naturally show benevolence with civil rule.
Only by persuading these barbarians to naturalize with the rule of the empire can they embody the style of the Holy Dynasty and realize the unity of the four seas and the unity of the world.
The two forces have expressed very different attitudes on how to deal with the joint petition of the sin district.
There is also public opinion throughout the empire.
The head of the Xindonglin Party and the eunuch who are also the auxiliary ministers of the empire are even more quarrelsome in the cabinet.
One rolls up his sleeves and the other grabs the crown, obviously they are the top figures in their respective sequences, but they scuffle together like broken skin in the market.
The vast number of concerts poured into the Huangliang host of the Taihe Palace, but it was not approved by the new emperor for a long time.
Such an ambiguous attitude immediately made Confucianism smell the opportunity and immediately began to prepare for an all-round attack on the celebrant supervisor.
The sensational 'Great Dynasty Debate' of the Ming Empire thus kicked off.
As the compiler of the Da Ming Law, the Legalists hold the control authority of the Huangliang Law Realm of the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the 'Three Law Divisions' of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
In this mighty 'Great Dynasty Debate', it naturally became the object of competition between the celebrant and the New Donglin Party.
Because of the requirements of the sequence of rituals, most of the Legalists are upright and upright, and their position is that they do not help each other, and they are dedicated to maintaining the stable operation of the Da Ming Law.
Even because of the opposition of ideas, Legalists are more inclined to the side of the celebrant and the supervisor.
But during this period, a major event occurred that angered the entire Legalist sequence.
A Legalist Xuqi who secretly investigated the corruption of the celebrant was assassinated, and all the human and material evidence at the scene pointed to the number one vicious dog under the command of the celebrant - Dongchang.
The celebrant was speechless, and before he had time to prove his innocence, the New Donglin Party had begun to add fuel to the fire.
Local officials in the two capitals and 13 provinces of the empire reported a large number of fabricated charges against Zhongliang and the Chinese and western factories for the trial of officials and the abuse of lynching.
The government and the opposition were in an uproar.
There were also many dissatisfied voices within the Legalists who were touched on the scales.
Many hot-blooded Legalist officials put aside the dispute of ideas, chose to stand with Confucianism, and agreed to join forces to challenge the celebrant supervisor.
And these are just undercurrents surging under the countertop.
On the bright side, Confucianism has united Taoism and Buddhism to complete the first domestication of the Yi people.
When a person wearing Ming clothes and speaking the standard Ming official dialect, and even mastering the ability of the Confucian Eight Gentlemen sequence, knelt on the Taihe Palace.
The eunuch who bowed down to serve the new emperor was in charge of the palm seal, and his face was like a mournful concubine for a moment, and the sweat on his forehead was like rain.
He didn't expect that this group of bastards with pens would not hesitate to lure people into the Ming Dynasty and steal the Shenzhou sequence in order to kill them all.
The leader of the Xindonglin Party led the ministers to speak out, listing ten counts of the ceremonial supervisors, including making soldiers, contemptuous of ancestors, bullying the monarch, and cutting down the people.
The powerful celebrant slid into the abyss.
With the help of the judicial authority of the Legalists, the New Donglin Party pressed a knife in one hand and a wat in the other, setting off a bloody purge in the empire.
At that time, Lezhong, who was far away in Chengdu Mansion, had just been promoted to the eighth law, and a pioneer of the Legalist family made an exception to personally calculate and set products for him, pointing to the top-grade qualifications, and wrote down comments that looked like a pig, and the law bones were naturally very high.
Originally, with this comment, Lezhong's career can be described as a smooth road, and riding the wind is just around the corner.
The young man is ambitious, and he is naturally proud of the spring breeze.
When people are in high spirits, they can't understand that if they say too much, they will lose, and that disaster comes from the mouth of these old words.
After reading the record of the entire 'Great Dynasty Debate', Le Zhong resolutely pointed out in the Huangliang Law Realm that the Legalists interfered in the party dispute and violated the original intent of the law.
If the sinners are dissatisfied and intend to rebel, then they will fight. Confucianism leads to Yi, and the number of classics forgets the sect, and it should be killed!
It is not only necessary to suppress the criminals, but also to reform the rule of officials and cleanse the lazy behavior of today's officials.
On weekdays, many high-ranking officials and officials of the Huangliang Law Realm laughed at most, thinking that they were young people complaining.
However, at that time, Confucianism, which had destroyed the celebrant supervisor, had already begun to think about the Legalists, who were comrades-in-arms not long ago.
There is no other reason, the Tao is different, and it is always impossible to make a plan.
Without the celebrant supervisor, the Legalist who is in charge of the Great Ming Law is the biggest constraint of Confucianism.
Although my house is small, it is also outside the shadow of the dragon and snake, in the sound of wind and rain.
Lezhong said something that he shouldn't have said, and he was also included in the purge list of Confucianism, and soon disappeared from Chengdu Prefecture.
He was suspected of being captured by the Wu family and put in private prison.
I don't know if I live or die. ”
The record of Lezhong on the electronic case has ended here, and no more words have surfaced.
Li Jun suddenly remembered the man with a mean face and a frank smile, and the tip of his right finger rubbed the broken magic ruler in his sleeve back and forth.
After being silent for a long time, he handed back the electronic case to the employees of the Intelligence Department who were waiting on the side, turned around and walked out of the archives of the Shudao Logistics Intelligence Department.
Outside the door, Qian Zhongxiao had been waiting here for a long time, bowing to Li Jun with a smile on his face.
"Minister, this is the recent formation of the Security Department, please take a look."
