Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Eight hundred and ninety ban


Fortunately, all the horrible things of last year, he finally got through it. The sin of self is not the last moment. No emperor is willing to give the will of the world to the people. After all, it was not issued, and it was for him. After Hong took control of Datang, he kept his face.

But from the incident of natural and man-made disasters last year, it also made him more fully and clearly aware of the noble character of the wealthy and the pros and cons of courtiers and clan members studying outside the Imperial College.

Although he does not advocate the abolition of these high-ranking dignitaries, courtiers’ clan members, and any one directly in the official ranks of the Tang Dynasty, it is clear that they, who have more official resources, are just like the original five. The surname is the same as Qiwang, which will create a bad habit for the scholars of the world to lean against the big tree to enjoy the cold.

At the same time, it also naturally deprived the poor scholars of the merits and resources of the court, so that those with the ability can not be promoted, while those with background can easily be promoted and occupy the greater resources of the court, thus again Formation of an officialdom group power with rich family dignitaries or clansmen as the backbone.

Right and wrong, right and wrong, right and wrong, under the account of the six Shangshu and the three provincial governors, it is like an explanation report specially prepared for Su Yan, Du Bing, Du Xian and Cui Yongke.

Even Sugui Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion had already bowed his head in embarrassment after hearing the transcripts of the Three Provinces and Six Departments, although he was already qualified to know the court’s Some important data.

But it was the first time he learned about such unannounced data, and before that, even if he had already made it clear in his heart, the officials headed by the Imperial College and the Han Family, compared with Officials of the five surnames, Qiwang, and courtiers’ clan relatives, the former contributed more to the well-being of Tang Sheji and Li people.

But he has never really pondered the taste of this. He still firmly believes in the old path of promotion as an official. He still believes in nepotism and party power, which are more useful guidelines for an official.

So this is why he has never thought about letting his son enter the Imperial College or Hongwen Pavilion. After all, based on his own experience as an official, he could be able to do it at the age of fifty or three. The location does not rely on the relationship and things of Guozijian and Taiyi City, which have brought food, clothing and influence to the people and even Datang Sheji.

It is entirely based on the close relationship between the colleagues behind him, or the wealthy dignitaries, plus his own abilities, and his majesty’s advice and promotion, to have the status today.

"Can you understand now? Whether it is Taiyi City, the Imperial College, or the Chongwenguan, which was in charge when I was the prince, how important and influential have you played for the people under the world and the Jiangshan society? The four of you don’t ask the twists and turns. , Without verifying the news that I heard personally, I just confided in words, people talked about it, and followed crazy rumors. When Taiyi City exploded, hundreds of people died, and the hot air balloon was persecuted by the imperial court. Have you ever verified the true and false of these? That's how your husband taught you to be kind and courteous? You don't even need to do corroboration, and you can take the rumors you heard as the truth? So slander the Guozijian and Taiyi City , As a literati, isn't it a bit too much?" Li Hong put one hand on the table, and looked at Su Yan with a carefree expression.

When the four of Su Yan heard the word "Zhen", they knelt on the ground again with a thump, their bodies trembling like chaff on the ground.

Su Gui, who was sitting originally, just wanted to explain together, but was pressed by Li Hong in the void.

Li Hong, who turned his head, glanced at the gentleness, Shangguan Wan'er and Li Lingyue, who looked like an immortal and quiet as still water, with more coldness in their eyes, and continued to say to themselves: "No matter what the four of you What is the purpose of arguing with my two imperial concubines and the princess in the first place? Is it because of nothing to do, so I am bored and arguing with them, or do I really think that the Taiyi City, the Imperial College, and even the imperial court have the life of Caosuga? I don’t think these are important. What’s important is that today I let the four of you listen to the secret government affairs of the court. It’s not just for fame or for the reputation of a courteous corporal. There are so many people in the world, and I don’t have the heart to treat each one. For the misunderstanding of the literati, I managed to bring half of the courtiers over and explain it to you."

"Datang now does not lack self-confidence, nor does it lack cultural heritage, nor does it lack the love and support of the people to the court. What Datang lacks is the courage to innovate as officials, and the lack of courage to be in positions. Officials who make mistakes for the people, not those of you who only know nothing but can mislead the country. If you can’t understand the behavior of others, you can speak out loud and watch others make mistakes. You can anger and attack others, but …As a literati, a scholar who has the world in his heart and received the favor of the sages and Confucian scholars, do you only speak with your mouth? Have you ever thought that one day you will do something real for the people of the world? /

Su Gui was already completely and truly frightened at this time, facing the four people who did not have any official positions, and even those who did not inherit the titles of their fathers, what your majesty said, It can be said that it is already heavy enough, and after today's incident, the four of them are obviously absolutely unrelated to official career.

After all, after being named by His Majesty, I still want to appear on the court again, or in the official ranks of the court, this possibility is simply too small.

What's more, the official secretary is sitting here, he is not blind, can't he see that although his majesty is not angry on the surface, he is already dissatisfied with these scholars from five surnames and seven hopes!

Su Gui, who was eager to protect his son, immediately got up and left his seat after Li Hong finished speaking. He knelt and pleaded: "Your Majesty, there is no way to discipline him. That's why your majesty is so angry. The rebellious son doesn't understand his love for the people. Son, take the common people all over the world as the most important responsibility, plus..."

"Su Gui, didn’t you hear what Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry said just now? In the state-county conflicts counted by the Criminal Ministry this year, do most of them have the shadows of wealthy dignitaries, courtiers and clan relatives? And the more prosperous and prosperous the state is In the county, the places where there are the most conflicts and criminal cases are mostly gathered in restaurants, tea shops, and scenic spots. Of course, and most importantly, most of them are related to women." Li Hong said at the end, his eyes were He looked at the four people kneeling on the ground.

Especially when Li Hong finished his last sentence, Du Xian and Cui Yongke, among the four people kneeling behind Su Gui, had their arms weakened, and they lay directly on the ground, like a crime. The whole body trembled uncontrollably on the ground like a shofar wind.

"You don’t have to justify them, and you don’t have to excuse them. I have no intention of punishing them. Datang has always advocated freedom of speech and never cared about what others said to the court behind their backs and did something. What, I am confident, I believe that those clowns who are jumping on the beam can't get over any big waves. Of course, you, as a father, fail to properly discipline, that is your responsibility and your personal affair, and I will not interfere. "Li Hong continued leisurely.

When Li Lingyue on the side heard what Li Hong said, she raised her head dissatisfiedly and glared at Emperor Datang. The complaining expression on her face was unobstructed, and she made no secret of it, as if she was questioning her emperor brother: "If you don’t Punishment does not interfere with how other people discipline their sons. Then why did you bring these three provinces and six books with great fanfare? Just to give them an explanation for the four scholars regardless of their status?"

"Your Majesty used to be the one who suffered? You should be safe first." Bai Chun watched Li Lingyue stand up, hurriedly pressed her shoulders from behind, and said softly in his ear.

Li Hong looked at Su Gui, who had been kneeling on the ground all the time, and then looked at the more than a dozen people sitting here with solemn expressions. He interrupted Su Gui’s words of invocation and continued slowly and said: "Your sins will not be cured. Because you were innocent and punishable, not because I am a magnanimous person, so today I will not care about conflicts with the princess and princess."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for his magnanimity." Su Gui immediately hit the snake with the stick. Before Li Hong finished speaking, he immediately knelt on the ground to thank Li Hong.

And Li Hong was not angry after he was interrupted by the following words. Instead, he continued to laugh relaxedly. After Su Gui followed the four people in succession, he thanked himself several times, and finally stopped speaking. At the time, he paused for a moment before continuing.

"You will thank you before I finish what I have said, but that's all, I will give you a reassurance, no one will move your official position, you are still your Jing Zhaofu Yin~ IndoMTL.com~ after all, you You didn’t commit any crime. But as a heavy court official, you know that your son disdains Taiyicheng, Guozijian and other behaviors, but you don’t control it. You don’t even like your son to explain that Taiyicheng and Guozijian act against Datang Jiangshan Sheji. The reason is that you don’t understand the importance of it, or do you disdain the contribution of Taiyi City and Guozijian to the imperial court?"

"The criminal minister was naturally clear in his heart and understood the role of Baitaiyicheng and Guozijian on my Datang Jiangshan Sheji. Even if I had some ignorance before, I heard several Shangshu's reports today. I already fully understand, and I know what kind of important influence Taiyi City and Guozijian have brought to the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, please do not blame the criminal officials and the children of the criminal officials. They do not understand. The important role of Imperial College and Taiyi City will be played by the minister from now on..." Su Gui knelt on the ground, sweat on his forehead, and even the floor was wet with sweat beads.

"That's not necessary." Li Hong raised his head and sighed, thinking for a while and said: "Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and Yushitai will supervise the four of them from now on... Oh, it should be three."

Li Hong took the note handed over by the official secretary, looked at the names of Jingzhaofu Yin Sugui, Luoyang Chengdu, and Cui Rong, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and then said: "From now on, it is strictly prohibited. Su Gui, Cui Rong, and Du Shenyan used anything related to Taiyi City and Guozijian in their homes, whether it was food, clothing, shelter, or firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., but those related to Taiyi City and Guozijian were not allowed to use them. .Since I think Taiyi City and Guozijian are useless, let them try, leaving these things aside, whether they can truly take the world in their hearts and pray for the people. I will wait and see."

(ps: Alas...The plot originally thought in my mind was pretty good, but it will change when I write it out. Let's make do with it, I'm sorry everyone.)
