Chapter 19 Public Opinion(2/2)
, most of the reasons for pleading for mercy are that these people just made an honest mistake, and there is no reason to deliberately incite; a few people believe that these people are not on duty, and they do not need to be responsible for talking about these things, and the officials have the right to arrest these people.
It violated the system; but a few people simply pointed out directly that the main person responsible for this matter was actually Zhao Guan's family. It was this official who allowed Zhang Jun to banquet guests in the city, and was suspected of deliberately inducing relevant rumors.
In addition, some people reported that the Wuyue Temple, Taixue, and Hanfangyuan Cuju Hall in the north of the city had written crooked poems that mocked the officials' harshness.
So why do such incidents suddenly occur?
You must know that after Zhang Jun and Wu Jie left that day, everything was still very safe. The relatives of six separate families were dragged out to demonstrate. Women and children were not involved, the furniture of the mansion was not destroyed, and the national debt was returned. On the contrary, there were still some
People publicly praised this official's "benevolence and righteousness".
The reason couldn't be simpler, it's exactly what Zhao Guanjia calls "liquidating the accumulated abuses".
In other words, as an ordinary college student in later generations, Zhao Jiu is unlikely to know how to govern a country even if he has seen a lot of high-end historical time travels on the Internet. Moreover, as soon as he came out of the well, he faced an exiled court in an abnormal state.
There has been no need for him to know how to govern the country for a long time... At the beginning, it was basically a complete decentralization of power at the local level, with the frontline becoming a warlord and the rear becoming a president. Lv Haowen and those at the center did some hard work of patchwork.
He, Zhao Jiu, is just responsible for carrying Long Huang and cheering people up.
However, as the situation changes and the country gradually normalizes, as an emperor, after grasping the guiding ideology, he needs to formulate corresponding governing policies based on the guiding ideology... But the problem is, what should he do if he still knows how to govern the country?
In fact, it is easy to do, that is, to clean up the accumulated abuses - this is a genius governance strategy proposed by the imperial censor Wanqixi Shangzou.
So what does "liquidating accumulated abuses" mean? The answer is very simple. It is to sort out the decades of ruling experience of the Emperor Taishang Daojun, whom the Zhao family hated to the extreme, from beginning to end, and then in chronological order, and then
It was a thorough criticism from beginning to end, and finally, based on the policy shortcomings of the Taishang Daojun Emperor that led to the country's downfall, he went in the opposite direction and corrected and sorted them out.
For example, when the Supreme Taoist Emperor came to the throne, he first proposed to "bridge the old and new parties" and strictly prohibited party strife. Then, after giving up the power of supervising the country to the Queen Mother, he couldn't wait to intensify the party supervision, promoted Cai Jing, and
The old party was also imprisoned.
So when it comes to Zhao Jiu, he will naturally issue an edict, proposing to 'bridge the old and new parties', strictly prohibit party disputes, and at the same time confirm that the new school Wang Anshi's lineage has a higher status in political history... and then publicly criticize the Supreme Leader.
Emperor Daojun’s censorship has harmed many loyal people.
Of course, Yuan Sheng's ridiculous tactics for promoting the old party during the Jingkang period must be publicly criticized and reflected upon.
Zhao Jiu had already done this, it was nothing more than mocking the Second Saint again, and there wasn't much trouble.
However, just a few days after Zhang Jun entered the capital, the imperial court began to 'liquidate' the matter of the Taishang Daojun Emperor's generous reward of Enyin posts in order to stabilize his position.
In fact, as soon as this matter unfolded, some of the noble people below became a little panicked, and the rumors told to Zhang Jun were somewhat provocative.
And I have to say that these people finally guessed it right.
The day before Zhang Jun left, Zhao Guan's family arrested these people who spread rumors. On the day after Zhang and Wu left, the court began to formally investigate the favors and rewards issued during the Second Saint period, and the ineffectiveness of the country since Jianyan.
The people who live in the country should be completely eliminated. The so-called deprivation of writing...
From a general point of view, there is of course no problem with this policy. Zhao Jiu immediately gave instructions for its implementation, and several prime ministers and important ministers also expressed their clear support.
Even at the Yushitai, the public opinion among the students was extremely positive.
However, cutting off people's wealth and removing their official positions is simply a double act of killing parents. Therefore, the support from the bureaucratic level did not delay the undercurrent in Tokyo. Suddenly, Zhao Jiu became a 'harsh king'.
', Zhao Ding, Liu Ji became the 'cowardly prime minister', Zhang Jun, Chen Gui became the 'adventurous villain'... even Lu Haowen wore a new hat, it is said that 'in his position he cannot correct the emperor's heart'.
And things finally got worse and worse, finally reaching the current situation.
Not only were some people writing crooked poems, and not only were the actors thinking they had gained public opinion to ridicule them face to face, but there was also a wavering within the bureaucracy, and even some dignitaries publicly recalled the "sacred rule" of the "Fengheng Henan University" period.
The cause of the matter is clearly laid out there. There is no need to say anything more. The key is how to deal with it? This is also the intention of Zhao Jiu to find Lu Haowen today... The Lu family in Lu Haowen's family is originally the first-class family except the Han family.
A sect has a very public attitude like that of Yuan Yang in the late Han Dynasty. It has considerable say in the bureaucracy and the aristocratic system.
"Can you do a little more screening to limit the scope of deprivation?" Lu Haowen hesitated for a moment, then decided to give some more advice.
"no!"
"Then why not sort out the old events in Jingkang at the same time, and reward and posthumously reward the officials who have made great contributions since Jingkang?" Lu Haowen seemed to have expected this reply, but after thinking for a moment, he made a suggestion.
"Wonderful!" Zhao Jiu became energetic and raised his hand directly.
"I take the liberty... Can you divide it into batches and try to make up for the half of the official salary of previous years?" Lu Haowen thought again and continued to make suggestions.
"It's Mr. Lu!" Zhao Jiu raised his eyebrows and responded immediately. "Is there any more?"
Lu Haowen smiled wryly and spread his hands, while several ministers around him looked at each other, speechless... Without him, Lu Haowen's two suggestions had already been put forward by someone to Zhao Guan's family. For example, on the matter of supplementing officials' salaries,
Yu Yunwen, a resident by the fish pond, suggested it, but Zhao Guanjia actually applauded it here?
I don’t know what medicine was sold in the gourd?
"I still have some ideas." Zhao Jiu smiled without restraining his hands. "Why not work on both sides?"
"What does the official family mean?" Lu Hao asked, confused for a moment.
"Yesterday I saw someone writing a letter saying that the ceremony of sericulture is a gift exclusively for the queen. If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, so please make Pan Guifei the queen..."
Lu Haowen frowned slightly.
"And what I mean is..." Zhao Jiu finally sneered. "When these people get involved here, they are inevitably suspected of interfering with the palace. I am really angry, so I want the Imperial City Division to go and arrest five or six more families!"
To intimidate!"
When Lu Haowen heard this, he knew that he came here to block the gun of the officials, but he was also a little helpless: "Officials, beware of excessive use of force!"
"I didn't regard these people as Du Chong. Liu Guangshi dealt with them as usual. They kept their wives and children, national debts, furniture and mansions. The parties concerned were also exiled or exiled to the army. What else do you want?"
Lu Haowen was completely helpless and could only try his best to remind: "There must be solid evidence and no implication can be made."
Zhao Jiu nodded.
And Yang Yizhong immediately stood up and handed over the complicated eyes of several close ministers, but he said to him carefully: "The official family, sir, do you want to prevent these family members from wandering around?"
"No." Zhao Jiu responded with a sneer. "Whether it's going to the palace to beg for mercy, or going to the relatives to cry, I'll see how they go about it..."
Everyone had nothing to say, and Yang Yizhong immediately turned around and prepared to go to Yingyang Gate. At this point, there was no chance of a change in the matter.
However, at this moment, a member of the Imperial Guard hurriedly came towards him, but he also brought a secret box. Yang Yizhong instinctively stepped forward. When he came to see that the other person was from the Red Heart Team, he realized that he was from the Red Heart Team, but he hurriedly avoided it.
Open it, and then go directly past the other party and go out... Liu Yan also just woke up at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it. He just opened it and looked at the cover, then became solemn, and then turned to the pavilion and handed it directly to Zhao Guan's family.
When Zhao Jiu saw that it was a message from the Taihang Mountains in Hebei Province, he was equally serious. After opening it and taking a brief look, he couldn't help but laugh. He raised his head and asked Lu Hao: "Ms. Lu... Ma Kuo came to Zhazi and told him something about the Kingdom of Jin.
It was Wu Qimai, the leader of the Jin Kingdom, who suddenly suffered a stroke and Nianhan Bingguo!"
Lu Hao asked the following questions, and the expressions of the civil and military officials around him changed greatly.
"The official family, do you want to recall Yang Tongzhi?" Li Ruopu, a Hanlin scholar, stepped forward with a serious look on his face.
"No need." Zhao Jiu continued to watch the second half of Zha Zi's report, but shook his head slightly.
"Then we need to call the Prime Minister to discuss matters?" Li Ruopu continued to ask.
"There is no need to discuss the matter specifically. Just send the matter to the provincial capital and the Privy Council..." Zhao Jiu dropped the note and raised his head, taking his time. "By the way, let them pursue the matter of Enyin as quickly and strictly as possible.
Congguang, deal with it! Otherwise, if the Jin people cause trouble in the north, the cleanup of accumulated abuses will inevitably have to be temporarily suspended... Then catch up with Yang Yizhong and ask him to arrest three or four more families in the name of criticizing Chengyu.
…”
"Officials." Li Ruopu glanced at Lu Haowen who was silent and said sincerely. "Things have their own priorities..."
"What kind of emergency is this?" Zhao Jiu disagreed. "The powerful ministers are in charge of the government. At most, they are suspected of imprisoning the country's leader. How do people who have experienced the Jingkang Incident still care about this? On the contrary, depriving them of indiscriminate favors can save them.
How much food should be paid? Isn’t it clear at a glance which one is more important?”
Li Ruopu was stunned on the spot, but didn't know how to refute?
