Chapter 405 Exile of the whole family! Sell all at a fixed price!
"Your Highness, King of Han, this matter is too deeply involved, so be careful!"
Gu Zuo endured the panic in his heart and whispered a reminder.
He is a talented man, so he knows very well what a dangerous thing Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han, wants to do!
Throughout the ages, those who have implemented reforms and introduced new things in every dynasty have never had a good ending!
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi's Prime Minister Guan Zhong reformed and reshaped the weak Qi State into a super overlord. As a result, Duke Huan of Qi became the first of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, and this was the beginning of the reforms of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!
In the early Warring States Period, Wei Wenhou Prime Minister Li Kui's reform led the Wei State to embark on the road of enriching the country and strengthening its military. This also triggered the first vigorous world-wide reform in history!
Since then, there have been many reforms, such as Wu Qi's reform in Chu State, Zou Ji's reform in Qi State, Shen Buhai's reform in South Korea, Shang Zhong's reform in Qin State...
Even though a unified dynasty emerged after the Qin Dynasty, there were still many people with lofty ideals who initiated reforms.
The Han Dynasty's Huangcuo Reform to cut down vassals, Sang Hongyang's Salt and Iron State-owned Reform, the New Dynasty's Wang Mang's Reform, the Tang Dynasty's Wang Shuwen's Reform, the former Song Dynasty's Wang Anshi's Reform and Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal...
For the sake of their lofty aspirations, for the sake of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and for the sake of their country and the world, these people with lofty ideals risked their lives and embarked on the road of reform and reform!
However, how can reform and reform be so easy?
To change the law is to reform the old and make new things!
Get rid of bad policies and implement new policies!
This also means that any reform will definitely affect the interests of those with vested interests, such as the powerful and powerful!
Regardless of whether it is a reform or the subsequent New Deal, in the eyes of these vested interests, they all want to deprive themselves of the power and benefits they already have, and want to cut off their own financial paths!
How can they sit back and wait for death if their interests are harmed?
It is precisely because of this that the reforms and innovations in the past dynasties have always been accompanied by countless bloody storms!
Because those who want to succeed must pay a price!
And those with vested interests want to protect their own interests, so they will naturally attack those who preside over the reform!
Most of the reformers paid a heavy price for this, and even took their own lives and died because of the reform.
Looking at the reformers in the past dynasties, except for a few famous people such as Guan Zhong and Li Kui, they all did not end well, especially those who failed in the reform!
Wu Qi of Chu State was shot to death by random arrows from nobles!
Shang Yang of Qin State was torn apart by a chariot and died!
Chao Cuo of the Han Dynasty was beheaded and abandoned!
Sang Hongyang was even more brutally exterminated!
Wang Mang of the new dynasty died and his family was destroyed, and his legacy will last forever!
Wang Shuwen of the Tang Dynasty was unable to save his life and was brutally killed!
King Anshi of the former Song Dynasty resigned from office twice and died in depression!
Fan Zhongyan was demoted three times and died suddenly!
…
One by one, these are the lessons of blood and tears of reformers of all ages!
There are some things you can think about but not do!
Otherwise, why are there only so few people left in this ancient history?
But now, the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, is not only vigorously promoting the New Deal, but is also preparing to directly attack the Jin gentry's reputation and directly cut off their foundation for amassing wealth and profit!
Even a fool can imagine how crazy those gentry would be and how violently they would fight back!
Zhu Gaoxu smiled nonchalantly and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I know the dangers of this matter, and I won't act too hastily!"
"I am telling you two this now so that you can be mentally prepared in advance."
"In the near future, I hope that the Three Law Divisions will closely follow my footsteps!"
After all, the Sanfa Division is the San Fa Division, representing the legal authority of the Ming Dynasty and having great credibility throughout the entire Ming Dynasty!
After the Chen Gongfu case, Zhu Gaoxu finally realized the importance of the Three Laws Division.
Therefore, before actually using the knife, he needed to hold it in his hand to prevent something similar to the Chen Gongfu case from happening again.
Gu Zuo and Jia Liang looked at each other. After a long silence, they finally nodded.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I understand!"
Not surprisingly, the two chose to closely follow Zhu Gaoxu's footsteps.
After all, the two of them clearly felt that the original intention of His Highness the King of Han in doing all this was for the Ming Dynasty and the people!
It is true that they are scholars, and it is true that they are Cheng and Zhu scholars, but they are not those gentry who have lost their true nature in the ups and downs of officialdom!
After all, both of them were notoriously lonely and straightforward ministers, and were ostracized and hostile by the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
After all, no one likes a powerful troll who keeps an eye on you all the time, waiting for you to make a mistake and take action immediately!
Of course, if you are as honest as an official, you will naturally not be afraid of hating Gu Zuo and Jia Liang, and may even appreciate their way of serving as officials and become good friends with them.
However, the problem is that there are not many clean officials in the Ming Dynasty, and they are all sitting on people’s wealth and stolen money!
If they make little money, they are conscientious officials and do not exploit the people wantonly. If they make more money, it is even more normal. After all, everyone is like this, and there is no psychological pressure when it comes to corruption.
If you are truly upright, have a breeze on your sleeves, and have the sky three feet high, the common people will give you the Wanmin Umbrella.
Therefore, Gu Zuo and Jia Liang had no choice but to closely follow His Highness the King of Han's footsteps and walk side by side with him!
If they take a step back, I'm afraid the two of them will be torn into pieces by Cheng Zhu Jinshen who is eyeing him eagerly!
In other words, from the moment the two of them took this position, they have been labeled as "Han Wang's party members" and there is no way out for a long time!
After such a conversation, the two of them finally got back together.
Even if you become a "Han King's party member", so what?
At least the prince, who has always been famous for his generosity and kindness, compared with the prince of Han in front of him, I am afraid that his heart is more about officials, not the people of the world!
"Your Highness, today's group of prostitute officials feel that the sentence of 60 sticks according to the Ming Dynasty's law is a bit too harsh."
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly became interested and asked with a smile: "How does Zixin think the verdict should be?"
Seeing the smile on Prince Han's face, Jia Liang secretly thought it was dangerous.
If he didn't ask Gu Zuo for advice in advance and just slapped all the prostitutes and officials with sixty sticks, I'm afraid that the Han prince would really be disappointed with him, and he might not be able to serve as the minister of Dali Temple for a few more days.
"Your Highness, now that the kings are expanding their territories overseas, they must also need scholars to manage their vassals, right?"
"These prostitute officials actually entered the official position through the imperial examination. Needless to say, they are talented. Moreover, they have been officials for many years and have rich political experience. These are all talents!"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Gu Zuo, smiled and cursed: "Gu Penzi, you taught me this?"
Gu Zuo spread his hands helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, that's really not true. The official just pointed out overseas locations, but he drew inferences on his own!"
"Okay, the head of the head is the best, and the king is also afraid that you Jia Zixin is really a bun. Suddenly, after taking office, he will be overhead by the officials in the Dali Temple. Now it looks like the king is concerned."
Zhu Gaoxuan nodded comfortably, and then said, "That's how to judge, all exile overseas vassal states."
"But you are just right. This exile is exiled and cannot be given to those princes in vain. After all, it is a talent.
Gu Zuo: "???"
Jia Ling: "???"
What?
What do you say?
I Nima!
Are you a bit too much?
That's the official of the court, not the street cabbage!
You all have a barbaric land exile overseas, and you have to fish from others?
Han Wang Zhu Gaoyu, you are really "Zhu Danpi"!
