Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Among Cao Cao's wives in history, Lu Bu made the first move and took possession of Madam Du's virginity, then Madam Zou Zou Qing, then Madam Bian Bian Yu'er, Madam Ding Ding Lan, Madam Yin Yin Xin, and  Because Cao Cao was killed by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's last concubine, Cao Chong's mother, Mrs. Xu Xu Huan, was also taken by Lu Bu as his own.

    In order not to irritate Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Le Jin and other old Cao Cao generals, Lu Bu specifically sought their opinions and said that they were willing to take care of his sworn brother Cao Cao's wives and concubines. Cao Ren and others are now fully under Lu Bu's command, and Cao Cao's only remaining  His son Cao Zhang was also adopted by Lu Bu as his adopted son. The other son Cao Zhi was clearly the illegitimate son of Lu Bu and Bian Yuer. Cao Ren knew that the Cao family would no longer be as prominent as Cao Cao was at that time, so even though he felt a little unhappy, he could only smile.  agreed.

    Lu Bu did not marry Mrs. Xu Xu Huan immediately because he was embarking on a new political reform. This system was not epoch-making, but it was something Lu Bu decided to implement, because if it were implemented, corrupt officials would be corrupted.  Frightened by the news.

    ??The whistleblower share system allows people who report corrupt officials to share the property of the corrupt officials that is finally confiscated according to a certain proportion.

    Lu Bu launched this system, and the leader was Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

    During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, financial difficulties arose due to successive wars against the Xiongnu. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty formulated the "Suanmin Order" to levy asset taxes on the wealthy class, requiring those engaged in commerce and handicrafts to declare their stored goods and assets, and  Asset taxes of 12% and 6% were levied on them respectively. In order to implement this policy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the "Investigation Order" to encourage the denunciation of those who concealed their property, and distributed half of the defendant's property to  Whistleblower.  as a reward.  Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented severe punishments and encouraged people to report, anyone who reported on hiding family property would be rewarded half of the reward upon verification. Therefore, no one dared to hide family property. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty quickly gathered the resources to start another war.  It is a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died.  The whistle-blowing system was subsequently abolished, and the number of people hiding their property gradually increased.

    Lu Bu imitated Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and imitated the essence of the decree, but it was definitely not used to collect asset taxes.

    Lu Bu believed that Liu Che's levy of asset tax was very fishy, ??which actually harmed the middle class. Once the middle class went bankrupt, it quickly fell into abject poverty. Once the middle class, which constitutes the backbone of a stable society, disappeared, what was left was  Rich families, dignitaries and poor people.  The polarization between the rich and the poor was extremely serious, and there was no middle class to ease the contradictions. This laid the foundation for the fundamental contradictions in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

    Lu Bu can responsibly say that Liu Han¡¯s defeat not only began with Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, but also began with Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che.

    While Lu Bu is now suppressing the aristocratic families from dividing them, he is also actively supporting the poor people to become rich and grow into the middle class. After the children of the aristocratic families established their own families, many of them changed from the powerful to the middle class. In this way.  In another decade or two, a stable and large middle class will be formed.  By then a stable society will be formed, and there will no longer be so many sharp class conflicts.

    Getting back to the topic, Lu Bu made major adjustments to the report order of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He no longer used the report sharing system to collect people's support, but used it to curb corrupt officials and mobilize the enthusiasm of all middle and lower class people to supervise.  Containment Officer**.

    The reason why Lu Bu introduced this system.  He was also forced by the situation.

    Lu Bu and the imperial censor Tian Feng once investigated the anti-corruption process of the Eastern Han Dynasty over the past century. After reading all the anti-corruption records, Lu Bu had to admit that the Eastern Han Dynasty had no determination and will to fight corruption.

    Although the Eastern Han Dynasty stipulated in the Han Dynasty Laws that ordinary people had the right to recommend officials for their illegal behavior, it did not provide at all how to protect the personal and property rights of whistleblowers.  It is common for people who report official corruption to suffer retaliation from corrupt officials, or even be killed.

    During the Ming Dynasty, there was a petty official in Changsha County, Jingzhou, named Chen Qing. He signed a report to the relevant yamen about the misdeeds of the local county magistrate Ye Dong, which revealed the corruption cases of more than ten officials in Changsha County, Jingzhou. Although those  The officials were all dealt with under Emperor Ming's wrath, but those officials were all descendants of wealthy families. Their families were powerful and had repeatedly retaliated against Chen Qing.  Chen Qing always believed that the relevant yamen would protect his legitimate rights and interests, but he was disappointed.  Every time he was intimidated, beaten or his family was harassed, he reported the case to Yushitai, Tingwei and relevant local yamen, and provided many clues to solve the case. However, in the end, nothing happened.  Although some human factors cannot be ruled out, the lack of support from the Whistleblower Protection Act is the root cause of Chen Qing's repeated retaliation.

    During the reign of Emperor Huan, in the murder case of Cheng Gao, the governor of Jizhou, what is thought-provoking is that although the whistleblower Guo Yun finally won the victory and reported Cheng Gao toAt present, the cost of his reporting was far greater than the cost of Cheng Gao's retaliation.  Guo Guangyun not only paid the cost of eight years of time, but also paid the huge cost of being brutally persecuted. He was illegally detained and illegally sent to a labor camp; and later he was fired from his official position. More than 20 of his family members and friends were successively implicated, and his mental health was severely damaged.  While suffering a blow, the body was also devastated.

    Lu Bu was very concerned about the fact that Guo Yun and Chen Qing were not the only two people who reported official corruption and paid huge costs. This was a common phenomenon in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Some people reported corruption to the prefect of the county, and even had their whole families killed by the prefect.  .  What did people like Chen Qing and Guo Yun get in exchange for paying such huge reporting costs?  In other words, how much does retaliation cost whistleblowers?

    Lu Bu sighed: "Justice is suppressed by injustice. We, the ministers of the imperial court, have to deeply reflect on the issue of protecting the people's right to report."

    Tian Feng sighed: "In fact, the specific right of the people to report has been confirmed in the laws of the Han Dynasty, but there are no provisions for the safety of witnesses, including whistleblowers, and their close relatives, and to prevent retaliation.  , the so-called right to report is a dead letter. But in practice, the relevant yamen often protect suspected corrupt officials, but deliberately ignore the personal and property protection of whistleblowers, witnesses, and victims. As a result, anti-corruption enthusiasts have repeatedly suffered  Revenge is not difficult to understand.

    And all along, because of fear of retaliation, few people are willing to stand up and expose the ugly behavior of corrupt officials in front of them.  In addition, the relevant yamen are very passive when it comes to anti-corruption. When no one reports, they generally will not take the initiative to investigate and punish. Even if they take the initiative to investigate and punish, during the evidence collection stage, because the public is afraid of being retaliated, there is often a lack of key witnesses or evidence. The relevant yamen  Investigations often have to be abandoned in the end, and therefore many acts of rape are carried out openly.  "

    Lu Bu frowned and said resolutely: "From this point of view, it is urgent to establish legal protection for the people's right to report. Therefore, you Yushitai, Tingwei, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of the Cabinet must formulate good laws to protect citizens' right to report as soon as possible. The laws that have been formulated  The law must be strictly enforced. Only in this way can we ensure that public supervision has the power, so that power can be supervised, more corrupt officials can be exposed in broad daylight, and we can continue to promote our anti-corruption cause."

    Lu Bu asked Chen Lin's Dahan Daily to conduct a public opinion survey to see whether the public was willing to report corruption by officials. The result was as expected by Lu Bu, because in the past two hundred years, the relevant yamen in the Eastern Han Dynasty have been very weak in protecting whistleblowers.  , which makes the people feel discouraged and adopt a prudent attitude to protect themselves. They are afraid or too lazy to take the initiative to report the corruption of those officials.

    Lu Bu decided to create a practical and powerful whistleblower protection system based on the anti-corruption system he had built with his own efforts. Only by effectively protecting the rights and interests of whistleblowers and effectively eliminating the worries of whistleblowers can the whole society be mobilized to supervise the corruption of officials.  Behavior.

    Lu Bu clearly stated in this whistleblower protection system that if an official suspected of corruption retaliates against the whistleblower, the official's crime will be doubled, and half of the official's property will be given to the whistleblower.

    Of course, protection is only one aspect. It only allows the whistleblower to eliminate worries. Without a practical encouragement mechanism, the whole society cannot be mobilized to supervise the corrupt behavior of officials. Without supervision from the whole society, the official system will not be as good as it was at the beginning.  It takes so much hard work to keep the land clean and honest. After forty or fifty years, it will definitely become corrupt to the point where no official is corrupt.

    Therefore, Lu Bu was ensuring that his power was extremely consolidated, just like Zhu Yuanzhang during the founding of the People's Republic of China. He proposed such an anti-corruption system, in which whistleblowers share the fines, and stipulated that those who effectively report corrupt behavior of officials and anyone with power in other industries can be divided into corrupt officials.  The proportion of the corrupt person's confiscated property depends on the circumstances of the report, ranging from 10% to 50%. The specific executor of this policy is Yushitai.

    In order to win the trust of the people, Yushitai followed Lu Bu's wishes and gathered more than a thousand people who had participated in reporting corruption among officials outside Luoyang Palace in front of hundreds of thousands of people starting from the first year of Guangxi reign.  In the face of the public, share rewards will be distributed to those who report.

    Lu Bu's move suddenly won the support of the majority of the people. The people were convinced of Lu Bu's firmness in fighting corruption. People who were originally influenced by the public opinion of some aristocratic families firmly supported Lu Bu.

    However, some officials were greedy and thought that Lu Bu's move would cut off their wealth, so they began to secretly collude with some wealthy families, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others. Lu Bu was already prepared for such officials, even if the people under these officials did not  They were betrayed for the bounty, and the intelligence department under Lu Bu had already been monitoring them based on their past misdeeds. Once there was any trouble with them, the intelligence department immediately dispatched to arrest these officials. Lu Bu's internal affairs went through this new process.  The anti-corruption crisis has strengthened our unity.
