Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the second day after the funeral period, all the white sails fluttering on the top of the city of Chang'an were torn down, and the singing and dancing in the east and west cities remained the same. Everything in the capital seemed to have returned to the era of drunkenness and wealth, but the storyteller who was well versed in the urban customs of Chang'an knew that it represented fine traditions.  The conservative Huang-Lao school is gradually declining.  ¡÷ The emperor single-handedly denied Tai Chang¡¯s weak doubts about the arrogance of etiquette, and proved with facts that the absolute imperial power was above etiquette and law and Han law. He invisiblely declared that the emperor had absolute control over major military and national issues involving the country, the country, and the country.  The public turmoil inside and outside Chang'an, and the widespread opposition from officials and ministers, could not thwart the young emperor's will.  The reaction of the people in Chang'an was generally normal, and there was no excitement as expected by the superiors. Ninety-nine percent of the people in Guizhou had excusable views on the emperor's overstepping the rules. The reasons given by the people were various, and of course there were also cases where family ties were greater than etiquette.  Calls arose, and such a statement made Taichang Zhao Zhou very embarrassed. Although he, Taichang, was a coward, the system of etiquette and law must always be upheld. If the people shouted that family affection is greater than etiquette and law, he would not be able to stand down.  What made him even more angry was that when the statement that family ties were greater than etiquette was not recognized by all walks of life, the most radical public opinion in the market suddenly reversed and attacked Tai Chang for his incompetence and failure to assist the emperor in completing the most important task of filial piety.  For an important funeral, Zhao Zhou had long seen that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who were displeased with Zhao Zhou, made too many mistakes.  There were more and more petitioners, and the emperor's attitude was not clear. Due to internal and external pressure, Zhao Zhou asked himself to recuperate, and pushed the throne of the nine ministers out of the way to give it to a virtuous person.  Zhou became the only victim in the funeral turmoil of the Empress Dowager, or it would be more accurate to call him the scapegoat.  Vacancies too often.  The emperor responded very quickly and quickly dismissed Han Anguo, the southern military guard.  He was also appointed as the new Taichang to advocate court etiquette. South Korea has experienced one Shaofu who performed very well.  There is nothing wrong with being appointed as a Weiwei. His two tenures as Nine Ministers are considered senior among the mid-level and senior bureaucrats of Sangong and Nine Ministers. He is not a big threat to ordinary peasant families who are from outside Guanzhong. This appointment has almost no impact.  The dispute was successfully passed.  The vacant guards were quickly replenished. The new guard was Guan Fu, the prefect of Yanmen who had performed well in the Battle of Yanmen. The emperor admired Guan Fu's brave and courageous style. He was unique among a group of timid border prefects, and he was not afraid of them.  Li Guang, the governor of Longxi, was free and unorganized, so he was highly respected within the Han army.  The servant Wang Pifang was removed from his post after his two terms expired.  The new servant is Changle Palace Zhan Shi Shi Qing. This man is the younger brother of the doctor's order Shi Jian. Among Wan Shijun's four sons, he is the most casual in style. Even though he is said to be the most casual, he is known throughout the world for his honesty and fear of causing trouble. The emperor  Liu Che inherited the late emperor's employment habits and particularly loved honest and honest ministers. Although his abilities were somewhat lacking, the emperor could use them easily.  The unexpected adjustment was the emperor's uncle, Tingwei Tian Sheng. Since he became a Tingwei, his crimes of bullying the market, privately occupying land, and bullying men and women were exposed. Lieutenant Xue Ze stared at him and chased him fiercely and said he wanted to kill him.  Get to the bottom of it.  Tian Sheng, who was not an official material to begin with, struggled to cope with the lieutenant's picketing after losing the protection provided by Tian Fu and Wang Xin. He blocked the progress of the case by blocking the right and left.  Instead, several subordinate officials who had been bribed with large sums of money were involved in problems.  The investigation of the case got bigger and bigger, until Tian Sheng couldn't hold on anymore and asked for the return of the occupied land and property and took the initiative to resign. The officials of the Lieutenant's Mansion gave up and returned to the camp.  The subordinate officials Tian Sheng attracted did not get through the difficulties so easily. During the interrogation process, several people could not withstand the huge pressure and committed suicide out of fear of guilt.  It was better to commit suicide than to be carried to the downtown area of ????Dongshikou and endure the pain of being separated from the body with a knife.  The Tian Sheng case only lasted five days from the incident to the end of the trial.  The speed can be described as a gust of wind blowing by. Two days ago, the emperor proposed to adjourn the matter at the court meeting. Within two days, the Lieutenant's Mansion presented Tian Sheng's confession. The attached case file was more than a foot thick. It was really impressive.  The crimes were too numerous to be recorded, and there were dozens of imperial warrants collected from all over the country and sent to them by the three elders in the village.  Seeing that the situation was not good, the emperor did not insist on protecting Wang Tian's relatives. The day after Tian Sheng was dismissed from the post of Tingwei, he announced the appointment of Wen Weng, the former Jiangxia prefect who was awaiting imperial edict in Beijing, as the new Tingwei. Wen Weng was appointed as the new Tingwei.  He had a very good reputation in Shuzhong, Nanyang and Jiangxia. He was rumored to be a rare Xunli who paid New Year greetings. Cao Shi, the general of labor and cavalry, even personally recommended him to go out to Sichuan to serve the country. It was rumored that he had a nose and eyes, so the people naturally had a good impression of this Tingwei.  .  In addition, the emperor also made new adjustments to the academic world.  The emperor dismissed a large number of Ph.D.s from the Huang-Lao School on the grounds of old age and illness, many of whom were world-famous academic giants during the era of Emperor Gaozongjing. Correspondingly, a large number of Confucian scholars were promoted. Dong Zhongshu was appointed as a doctor of "Spring and Autumn".  Yuan Gusheng was appointed as a doctor of "Book of Songs", Han Ying as a doctor of "Book of Changes", and Kong Wu as a doctor of "Shangshu".  A series of appointmentsEveryone was dazzled, and this started a wave of Confucian counterattacks against the traditional Huang-Lao school. When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty generally expressed their opposition, Prime Minister Dou Ying clearly supported the emperor's arbitrary actions, which brought a somewhat unclear meaning to this turbulence.  Changes, the number of ministers for the meritorious princes has generally remained unchanged. There is still a small profit in replacing the imperial servant Wang Pifang with the lieutenant Xue Ze, but the living space of the princes has become worse than before.  "Isn't it obvious? The military meritorious group that founded the country is being weakened bit by bit. Your Majesty is determined to cut off most of the redundant military meritorious nobles. Those who violate criminal laws, violate etiquette and laws, and are contrary to human ethics will be denounced in the lightest way and punished in the severest way.  "Execution." When the first batch of graduating Taixue students returned to Taipei University, the most common topic they talked about with their junior students was the impact of the political changes in the imperial court on the future. There is no doubt that the most popular topic among the students was current affairs.  In their words, caring about the changes in the imperial court means caring about their own future and destiny. In the future, they will also serve as civil and military officials to serve the emperor.  Shusunqin gave a speech on behalf of the returning graduates. When he talked endlessly about his favorable impression of the emperor, it quickly caused a commotion: "I heard what Shusunsheng said, the Kai** Gong Group is a redundant old  Nobles, these redundant nobles should be eliminated as soon as possible, so I don¡¯t know what your so-called redundant standards are? Yushi doctor Zhang Ou, cavalry general Cao Shi, Da Nongling Zhuang Qingzhai, Shaofu Fan Taguang, Lieutenant  Is Xue Ze redundant? And why is it yes or no?" Thousands of eyes instantly focused on the questioner, and the students were surprised to find that a little boy of about ten years old had slipped in.  Dressed up, he looked like a noble boy. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed like a little fox.  Shusun Qin's speech was interrupted. He saw clearly that the instigator was a little boy. He immediately dealt with it and said angrily: "Who are you? What's the purpose of coming here to cause trouble? The guards kicked him out!" "Wait a minute! I think this guy  What the young man said is very good. I am also very concerned about your redundancy standards and who you think are worthy of elimination." Queshan stood up and supported him.  "You're talking nonsense!" "I support it!" "It doesn't make sense for Uncle Sunsheng to open his mouth to chase people away." "It's important to maintain the order of speeches." The returning graduates instantly divided into two factions, each holding its own opinion.  The students at school chose to watch the show with a neutral attitude, until Taixue Jijiu Wei Wan hurried over, picked up the little boy and walked out without saying a word, still muttering: "You little baby is running around again, let the general know you  Being careful when you are meeting guests is another lesson. " "I am here to show my support for the general. The boastful guy over there said that the Kaifeng Gong Group is a redundant noble and should be abolished. " Wei Wan paused.  Turning his head and looking carefully, the young student on the podium who was scolding Fang Qiu looked familiar: "You are Uncle Sunqin from the Military Academy. I remember that you failed one subject when you graduated. Your uncle came to me and begged me.  You are allowed to graduate first and then retake that course on another day. Can you repeat what you were saying just now? " "It turns out that you can graduate without passing a course. It turns out that seniors also rely on nepotism to graduate.  "It's really disappointing!" "You just brazenly said that the Kaifeng Gong Group is a redundant aristocracy. I think you, a newly rising bureaucrat, are the most shameful people. You are not even as good as a cavalry general."  "Bah!" "General Chaiqi is right. There are always a group of powerful and wealthy businessmen inside and outside the imperial court who are dissatisfied with politics. In order to reach the top of power as soon as possible, they will use every means to smear and attack those in power. They are a cancer in the system of the Han Empire.  They are neither farmers who work hard to grow grain, nor workers who work day and night to spin thread and smelt iron. They rely on their family's money to collude with unjust officials to bully the people and plunder their wealth. They plunder the people's wealth without even breaking the bones and sucking out the marrow. They are more disgusting than the aristocrats who have committed crimes.  "Ten thousand times!" "Get off! Get off!" Shusun Qin's face turned pale and he stumbled as he walked down the stage. Many of the graduates who were cheering for him shrank.  The passers-by raised their heads and pretended to be indifferent. Shusunqin was just a small attempt made by their powerful landlords. Even if they lost everything, it didn't matter. The opportunity cost was too low and they could be mass-produced. If you fail once, there will be a second time.  From the third time to the ten thousandth time, the tiger still took a nap. They firmly believed that if they persevered, they would succeed one day.  Sima Qian was dragged back to the top floor by Wei Wan. When he saw Cao, he hurriedly jumped out to claim credit: "Master, you didn't see just now. I asked the guy who smeared the princes so hard that I couldn't explain. It was revealed that he was a person who took the exam after graduation through the back door."  He looked very funny when he ran away." "Okay Qian'er, don't be naughty and say thank you with the sacrificial wine. It's getting late and we should go back." Sima Qian hurriedly bowed seriously: "Thank you so much.?I will not make today's mistake twice again. I'll say goodbye.  " "Yeah, let me take you out!"  "Wei Wan touched Sima Qian's head lovingly, and the old man seemed to find in him the feeling he had when looking at his little grandson.
