The big case in the south was solved, and instead of taking a lenient approach amidst the "intense public anger", it became more severe. Killings, exiles, family divisions, all the combination of handling methods, it is really hard to see what's going on
It's a 'let go', on the contrary, it's more like an extremely severe punishment. But then again, the saint didn't kill the southern family's heads this time, so it doesn't seem unacceptable.
Although the Guanlong people and the Shandong nobles felt that their goals had been achieved, they still felt uncomfortable because they could not use the emperor's sword to kill the southern family. However, it was not that they could not accept such a solution. After all,
, this is a heavy blow to the southern family.
The court has not decided how many culprits will be killed, but judging from the saint's decisive attitude this time, there will be many people killed. The family members who will be later exiled to the frontier, Liaodong Road and other places, this is even more embarrassing than killing people.
An unacceptable fact. It can be called murderous and heartbreaking!
The aristocratic family is entrenched in the local area, or is called the county leader, or the county leader. Now the emperor wants to directly forcibly implicate the accomplices, force the other party to separate the family, and disperse them to the bitter cold area. This is not only attacking the southern aristocratic family, but also
torture their children.
In other words, this is a different kind of killing chickens to scare monkeys. It is equivalent to telling those disobedient aristocratic families: Do you see, I have many ways to torture you! Of course, the aristocratic families are extremely afraid of this. Killing is not terrible, what is terrible is that both
Killing someone is also heart-wrenching.
If the emperor had directly killed people this time, it would have caused those southern aristocratic families to unite and distance themselves from the north. But the emperor chose to kill the culprits and exile the accomplices, and at the same time was not fully prepared to eradicate the southern aristocratic families, leaving them with a dead end.
, which prevented them from completely making up their mind to go against the imperial court.
At this moment, the fearful mentality occupies the hearts of the southern family, rather than the rebellious mentality. The art of war is to surround three without one. Leave a way out for the enemy, and they will not fight to the death. This is not a clever technique, but
But it's more useful.
Prince Li Chengzhao was thoughtful. He found that his father seemed to have already decided on this matter. The quarrels among the ministers did not seem to have any impact on his father. Thinking of this, he remembered that his father had previously met with the Prime Minister.
It's our business. If my father doesn't care about the opinions of the ministers at all, then why do I have to listen to their quarrel again and again?
He couldn't figure it out, and Li Chengzhao was a little dizzy. He really didn't understand the problem. But the dynasty was not over yet, so he couldn't ask his father directly. He could only wait until the next dynasty to see his father.
Are you willing to answer it for yourself?
Another half hour passed, and the details of how to handle the major case in the south were finally finalized. The core idea is not to kill indiscriminately, but not to let go. In other words, there is a sense of not letting any bad guy go.
.
After solving this matter, it is inevitable to start the next topic, which is to divide the cake. After all, the officials of the Southern Department stumbled this time and vacated so many positions, but it was a feast of division. Even if the political affairs hall and the six ministers did not do much,
Yes, but many of the ministers, ministers and officials of the nine temples were eliminated.
This is not a local official vacancy, but a real official vacancy in Chang'an. Who can let go of such an opportunity? According to Emperor Zhenguan's employment character, the future prime minister will definitely select people from the six ministries with increasingly powerful powers. And think about it.
To enter the Sixth Division, you need a certain amount of 'reserve qualifications'.
What is reserve qualification?
To put it simply, when you start serving as an official, you must have the opportunity to stay in Chang'an as an official, similar to the top few in the imperial examination, staying in the Six Ministries to observe politics. Then, after a certain number of years, you will be released to serve as an official, and wait a few more years.
, if you make achievements, you can enter the Sixth Department and serve as a minister.
Yes, they are ministers, not ministers. Examples of Cen Wen, Dai Zhou and others who could directly become ministers from local places have become a thing of the past. What's more, the reason why they can directly skip ministers and become ministers is mainly because they were once emperors.
The confidants of the old ministers were originally sent down to be plated with gold and acted according to the 'rules'.
But others can't do it. From a local governor to a central official, the best you can do is to be a minister. Then you will see if there are any other opportunities in the future, and then work your way up to become a minister or something.
The current six ministers actually belong to the category of founding heroes. Few of them are promoted to ministers according to the established rules. The general process should be like this. First, work as a reserve secretary in Chang'an for a certain period of time to familiarize yourself with political affairs, and then decentralize to local governments.
, wait a few years, and then be transferred back to Chang'an as an official based on political performance.
This period of time is not short, at least it is more than fifteen years.
It seems that becoming a minister at the age of 20 or 30 is no longer the case. Now that the government is becoming more and more stable, everything must be done according to the rules. Without rules, there is no rule. Only when there are rules can we make conventions and make people
Don't dare to offend easily.
After the Guanlong people and the Shandong nobles joined forces to violently attack the Southern family, they immediately began to arrange officials with Shusheng. The reason why they suppressed the Southern family so hard was in the final analysis for their own interests, otherwise they would have nothing to do when they were full.
It's something that offends people.
Li Zhiyun knew this very well. Of course, it was impossible for him to beat the Southern Family violently with his front foot and then throw away the knife in his hand. Although he would destroy all these knives one day, he still had to use them now.
If you want a horse to run, you must feed it. Of course, you must not forget a certain leash, otherwise the horse will lose control when running, which defeats the original intention.
"If there is a shortage of officials in various ministries, all the dear ministers can submit recommendations on their own. I will consider them carefully with several ministers." Li Zhiyun said calmly.
To put it bluntly, he is stoking public ire. Don’t you all want to recommend your own people? Then let’s fight. It’s better to fight to the death!
This is a conspiracy, even if some smart people can think of this, it is useless, because no one can refuse such an opportunity to enhance their own strength.
"I obey your orders."
Not to mention the frustrated southern officials, the faces of the Guanlong and Shandong nobles were full of excitement and eagerness to try.
Isn't that what they were waiting for?
As for fighting?
Who hasn’t fought hard these days?
The court meeting is over, and the matter regarding this major southern case has been settled. Generally speaking, a lot of people will definitely die this time. As for the specific number of people, it depends on the court's definition of the culprit. But, no
It's just a little less.
However, this is not the key point. The key point is that the positions vacated by southern officials who have committed crimes and been imprisoned are the key point. However, this is the key point in the minds of all the officials in the court. For the people, nothing is more important than them eating melons.
To be honest, in the past few years, once the saint started killing, tens of thousands of people would be captured, which was really terrifying.
This also proves from another aspect that what today’s saints say is correct.
After Li Chengzhao went to court, he found his father and couldn't help asking about his doubts.
"Father, I don't understand very well. You seem to have already made a decision. In this case, why do you still need to convene a court?"
Li Zhiyun smiled softly, as if he had guessed that his son would ask this question, and he taught: "Remember, sometimes when you do something, don't see whether it is meaningful, but see whether it is useful."
After the words fell, Li Chengzhao fell into thinking.
