Chapter 160 Abolition of the ancestral system
"I am very disappointed with today's court meeting! In the face of a powerful enemy, no one thinks about how to defend against the enemy, but they use high-sounding excuses to arbitrarily attack important officials of the court. Without evidence of guilt, they abuse the power of hearing and report, and even fabricate evidence of guilt in an attempt to achieve their goals. Attack the reality of political opponents!”
Except for Hu Guang's voice, the only sound echoing at the scene was the sound of the wind, and all the courtiers were silent. The emperor had the handle on this matter, and it seemed that those who were in the spotlight were going to be in trouble!
"Jianqiu is not terrible. Our Ming Dynasty is a huge country, and there are many talented people. Zuo Yingxuan and Lu Xiangsheng in the Battle of Changli are examples. As long as our Ming Dynasty is united and united, it will only be a matter of time to destroy Jianqiu. I will never do not worry!"
When Hu Guang said this, he sighed in his heart and his tone became more severe: "But look at you, how many of you have the same thoughts as me, and still have the Ming Dynasty and the people in their hearts? Why not fight with such scum? Generally speaking, people are only selfish, thinking about fighting for power and profit, thinking of various ways to protect their own interests, and even frame up important ministers, and want to suppress me in the name of ancestral system. Haha, I really saw it today!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, regardless of whether they had participated in the impeachment of Wen Tiren, fell to their knees, not daring to stand and bear the emperor's wrath.
Although Ruhua was also kneeling there, the emperor's anger was none of her business and she had no burden in her heart. Seeing so many adults kneeling with me and the little monk getting angry on top, I couldn't help but cheer loudly in my heart: "Little monk, you scolded me well! If it weren't for the inconvenience, I would have scolded you for you!"
Hu Guang glanced at the ministers present and said sadly: "If this trend persists, will you still have the majesty of the imperial court in your eyes from now on? Will you still have me as the emperor? The Ming Dynasty will be defeated by you! If Taizu were You know, I am afraid that I, an unfilial descendant, will be severely punished for not following the ancestral system and allowing you to have no king's laws and no king and father! Should you all be skinned and turned into grass, so that your memory will be long?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military officials immediately remembered Taizu's methods of punishing corruption. Suddenly, many officials with ulterior motives broke out in cold sweat! Especially those who were at the forefront just now, all collapsed to the ground like Cao Yubian.
The howling of the cold wind seemed to be getting louder and louder, like the impermanence of life in hell, laughing strangely in their ears.
Hu Guang looked at Cao Yubian and others, and declared loudly: "Party strife must not last forever. From now on, whoever attacks the court officials without any solid evidence, no matter who you are, I will never give you mercy!"
The implication is that the censor's right to hear rumors and report events was abolished. This is the ancestral system. If it were normal, a lot of courtiers would probably come out to oppose it. But at this moment, there are reminders to peel off the skin and fill it with grass. Who dares to say that we must follow the ancestral system? Among the officials present, how many of them have truly clean hands and feet?
In fact, in ancient times, it was generally based on the inference of guilt, that is, you were considered guilty at the beginning, and then you had to prove your innocence; this is exactly the opposite of the inference of innocence in later generations. Later generations will theoretically treat you as innocent at the beginning, and the prosecutorial agency will have to prove your guilt, rather than proving your innocence yourself.
As a person who traveled through time in later generations, Hu Guang had long wanted to correct their views. It is really such an environment that it is too easy to cause party strife!
After making the announcement at this time, seeing that no minister dared to object face to face, he issued an order: "Cao Yubian fabricated charges to attack important officials of the imperial court, which had a bad impact. He was taken out and chopped off, and his head was taken off and hung on the Meridian Gate. Yuan Chonghuan and Luo Yangxing are here to give a warning and remind everyone present not to break the law or violate discipline!"
The two captains of the imperial guards on duty immediately stepped forward, dragged Cao Yubian away and left. In just one morning, the dignified Censor of Zuodu, who was full of righteous words, became a negative case and was nailed to the pillar of shame for a lifetime!
"Zhao Qian, Sun Li and others confiscated their homes, dismissed their posts and sent them to the army, and then went to Ningxia to educate the people. Only those who sincerely repent and teach the people who have made meritorious service to the country and the people can return to their place of origin!"
Strictly speaking, these are all censors. In the past, if the emperor heard that something was going on, if the emperor did not accept it, the most he would do was reprimand him, and then he would be careful of his political opponents to fight back.
But today is different from the past. Cao Yubian fabricated evidence to attack the important officials of the imperial court and was exposed in court, which caused Thunder to be furious. Not only did the censor's right to hear rumors and report events be revoked, but they were also treated as a counterexample. It can be said that It's unexpected, but it's also reasonable.
Hu Guang looked at Liu Xingzuo and continued: "Jinyiwei disappointed me before, but now he knows his shame and is brave. I am very relieved! As soon as Liu Qingxin took office, he made great contributions and was strict with himself. He always showed kindness to everyone in his dealings. I report it, and I feel very relieved!"
The two of them came to praise the Jinyiwei and the Jinyiwei commander with great comfort, which made all the Jinyiwei captains on duty at the scene straighten their backs, and wiped away the feeling of being useless that Luo Yangxing had been punished before, and then was suppressed by Dongchang. When they looked at the commander Liu Xingzuo, their eyes were full of admiration. They felt that under the leadership of the new commander, the Jin Yiwei would definitely be proud and proud!
Hu Guang's words invisibly helped Liu Xingzuo stand up, helped him further establish his authority in the Jinyi Guards, and consolidated his position.
Hu Guang was just doing this casually, and then announced loudly: "After today, all those who hold official positions and have personal relationships exceeding five taels of silver will report to the East Factory on their own and pay it to the public; otherwise, if they are detained by the factory guard, It is verified that regardless of who gives the gift or receives the gift, they will all be punished as offering or accepting bribes."
Taking this opportunity, Hu Guang drew the red line again, and then said in a gentle tone: "Let's all get back together!"
During this process, Ruhua, as a member of the Jinyi Guards, had nothing to do with her and retreated under the guidance of the chamberlain. Naturally, her merits will be rewarded by the commander of the Imperial Guards, and there is no need for the emperor to personally intervene.
When she retreated, she looked up several times to look at the majestic little monk on the throne. She sighed secretly in her heart and gave up any thought she shouldn't have.
The ministers all stood up again and stood in line. During this process, there was no need for the silent whip to sound, and the whole process was quiet.
Hu Guang also sat back on the throne, glanced at the ministers, and then said loudly: "I want to discuss the most important matter with you this morning!"
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials raised their heads one by one, looking at the emperor with a hint of doubt in their eyes. They were a little puzzled. I wonder what important matter was disturbed by Cao Yubian and the others?
I only heard the emperor say solemnly: "I have received news that the Jianlu can no longer hold on under the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the country. At this time, they should be withdrawing from the capital and leaving the customs!"
When I heard this news, it was a good thing! The hearts of all the civil and military officials immediately relaxed a lot, and the atmosphere became somewhat gentler invisibly.
But they were happy too early, the emperor hadn't finished speaking yet!
Thanks to book friend 150829073546272, Sun Time and Space for the reward! ps: The monthly tickets are much less than expected. If China Garden Cat hadn’t sent out monthly ticket red envelopes, it might have been even lower. The recommended tickets won’t reach 2,000 this week, so I can’t find any reason to add more tickets. Tomorrow is my birthday, so for this reason I will update tomorrow, so I can make up five updates (two of them are owed previously).
