When a passerby becomes a princess

When a new dynasty was established, the emperor usually divided up the titles in order to appease those subordinates who fought with him. For example, the general Lin Lian and the southern army general Deng Heng, they all went from commoners to generals in this way.

Civil officials are different, and the source of civil officials is usually a traitor from the previous dynasty.Just like Liang Honglie's uprising, although it lasted only two or three years, the hard work during the period was not something civil officials could bear. So until the later period, Liang Honglie was basically about to enter the capital, and only then did civil officials come to seek refuge one after another.After he ascended the throne, most of the civil servants under him were recommended by the family, and it was not until later that there were no civil servants from the new department.

On the one hand, he was a loyal subordinate who followed him to fight the world, and on the other hand, he was a grassroots who took refuge in the wall after seeing the failure of the previous dynasty. Liang Honglie's dislike of civil servants is not without reason.

In the civil service system of Daliang State, Liang Honglie has only one-third of the people, the remaining Qin family accounts for one-third, and the Feng family and Chen family account for one-third. It seems that the He family has no points, but the He family does. It almost dominates the entire education system of Daliang State. He Family Academy has more than a dozen branches in Daliang State. More than 80.00% of the civil servants have studied in He Family Academy before becoming official. It can be said that He Family Academy is the home of most civil servants. alma mater.

Now the alma mater is in trouble. Within a month, more than a dozen branches of the He Family Academy were smashed, the former husband was beaten, and the main courtyard under the eyes of the capital was completely burned down. I really want to pretend not to see it. Will not work.

When the He Family Academy was first smashed, the civil servants were also very conflicted. It seemed unreasonable to ignore it, but if they wanted to manage it, they were afraid of offending the emperor.

Starting from Lin Lian, the emperor's favor and trust in the Lin family has made all the families dissatisfied. May I ask which dynasty has a general who can lead the army for more than 20 years?When Lin Qiu came here, he had not been crowned princess for half a year, but he was demoted several civil servants because of the waterwheel he designed, and because of him, he drove away all the beautiful women sent to the palace by various families. When the prince disappeared, It even broke the ancestral precept that the harem should not interfere in politics, and let him directly manage Beimo County... In the end, he even handed over the newborn little prince to his care.

The civil servants remembered everything clearly, and with their minds, they could naturally analyze that the emperor loved and cared for this princess without a bottom line.

When the rumors broke out this time, some civil servants tentatively mentioned a few words in the court, but they were immediately scolded by Liang Honglie in a rage, and some people were even demoted because of this, so the smart civil servants didn't join in, and only dared to discuss it in private A few words.

But now that it has developed like this, civil servants can’t do it even if they want to be ostriches. The He Family Academy in the capital is not far outside the city, because the academy is located in a large forest, and when it is burned, the nearby forest will also be burned. Yes, the flames in that direction can be seen in the capital, and even the sky is really red.

Because the fire was too big, people were only in a hurry to put out the fire at first, but when they tried to find the person who set the fire afterwards, they didn't know where they had gone.

However, this does not hinder civil servants. The murderer cannot be found, but the murderer is for the princess.

Liang Honglie sat on the dragon chair, squinting his eyes slightly, looking at the civil servants jumping up and down below, as if he was watching a group of noisy ducks. It's not that he can't escape the last knife.

Tao Jing, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, after enumerating the top ten crimes committed by the crown princess, said with a righteous face: "I invite the emperor to consider for the sake of the country and the people, abolish the crown princess, and choose another virtuous woman as the crown prince's concubine."

"It's good for the country and the people." Although Liang Honglie's voice was cold, he didn't get angry, but said: "Then, can Tao Aiqing teach me which daughter should I choose for the crown prince as concubine?"

A "Tao Aiqing" called Tao Jing so cold that he fell to his knees in fright and said, "I don't dare. I have to ask Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites about the selection of beautiful women." He was just pushed out. Yes, the impeachment of the Crown Princess was a last resort, and now I just hope that the emperor will not blame him, and quickly kicked the ball to Sun Chang.

Sun Chang looked like he had stepped on dog shit, he stood here honestly without saying a word, why did he lie down?Thinking of the daughter who just gave birth to a grandson, Sun Shangshu couldn't help shivering. If the following words are not good, offending the emperor is a small matter, but if offending his own daughter, the consequences will be very serious. Think about yourself The confiscated private money and the small wine cellar, and thinking about the concubine he secretly took outside, Sun Shangshu made up his mind not to offend the princess.

When the emperor really turned his attention to himself, Sun Chang came out helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, I have been arranging the harvest ceremony for the Chinese New Year recently, so I can't remember it for a while. It's better to wait for the minister to arrange the harvest ceremony." Now, present the list of show girls to the emperor."

When he mentioned the Harvest Sacrifice, everyone was taken aback, and the faces of some ministers who impeached the Crown Princess changed drastically.

The Harvest Sacrifice in Daliang Kingdom is not held every year, because the Harvest Sacrifice needs a good harvest year. After the grain is harvested, the elders from all over the country jointly write a letter, asking the emperor to preside over the Harvest Sacrifice, to thank the heaven and the earth for their love, and to pray that there will be another year like this in the coming year. Generally speaking, this is also a kind of recognition for the emperor.

After Liang Honglie ascended the throne, he had only held harvest ceremonies for two years. There was nothing he could do about it. There were too many mountains in Daliang and little arable land, and there was not enough food in the national treasury, let alone the common people. What a harvest ceremony.

However, due to the promotion of waterwheels and terraced fields, the area of ​​cultivated land has greatly increased. The two consecutive years of bumper harvests have allowed the common people not only to eat and clothe themselves, but also to have a surplus of grain. This year, most of the areas have written letters requesting the emperor to hold a harvest ceremony. The most interesting thing is that many of the letters added a few words of blessing to the crown princess. In some places, the elders even asked the emperor to bring the crown princess to hold a harvest ceremony. A gift from the princess.

At this time, when Sun Chang mentioned the harvest ceremony, he undoubtedly supported the princess from the side. You have charged the princess with ten crimes, and I only have one. Without the princess, there will be no harvest this year, which is enough to beat you all.

Liang Honglie was delighted to hear this, and the generals were so happy that their teeth were bared. A few impatient generals simply ran out to fight the civil servants. Yes, it is okay to re-select the crown prince and concubine, but whose daughter can To the point of being a princess?Didn't you say that it is for the country and for the people?Then let her do some good things that benefit the country and the people.

The civil servants trembled with anger, but did not know how to answer.

Liang Honglie saw that they were almost arguing, so he said to Wang Qian next to him, "Xuan Linbo."

"Xuan Linbai sees you~"

Lin Bai wore a white jade crown and walked in in a blood-red robe. He was born very well, and this official robe designed by Lin Qiu made him even more beautiful, but his color was not that kind. But the flamboyant flamboyance, but with a kind of malevolent flamboyance, people can't help turning their heads after just one glance, not daring to look at him, as if he is the monster in the rumors.

It turned out that Lin Bo was not like this. Although he was a little dark-hearted, he grew up on the battlefield after all, and he came into contact with bloody men, so he was also a very straightforward person.But since he took over Jinyiwei, his world view seems to have been shattered. It turns out that while the frontier army is fighting bravely to kill the enemy and protect the country for the people, these moths in the court are intriguing and eating away at the national treasury for the slightest benefit.While the frontier soldiers were gnawing on cold hard pancakes and swallowing the snow, these officials who thought they were noble were eating sweets, drinking spicy food, and sleeping soft. Where do you know etiquette, integrity and shame?

In this way, Lin Bo, who was originally just a little black-bellied, was stimulated by the shady scenes in the court to become a ruthless commander of the Jinyiwei. In the past year, no less than a hundred corrupt officials have been found in his hands, and many corrupt officials When he went in, he looked like a dog, but when he came out, he could barely make up a person. The abilities of his "torture workers" were greatly improved.

Although there are people impeaching Lin Bo in the court every day, but the ones Lin Bo arrests are all really corrupt officials, and the crimes are so heinous that they will be beheaded no matter what. Here, the officials in the court have nothing to do with him.

"Lin Bo, I ordered you to investigate the arson case of the He Family Academy." Although Liang Honglie was talking to Lin Bo, his eyes were on the most powerful civil servants who had jumped up just now.

"Back to the emperor, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, and have already arrested several major criminals." Lin Bo said.

"Very good." Liang Honglie sneered, and said, "Bring someone up, I want to see who is so bold to set fire to the He Family Academy."

The courtiers looked at each other, didn't they say that the murderer was not caught?Why was Jin Yiwei arrested him?While many people were wondering, they felt a little bit of fear. Could it be that the emperor arranged all this?In other words, the emperor already knew that the He Family Academy would be set on fire?

Before they could figure it out, a few people were brought up. To everyone's surprise, these people were not the civilians they thought. Just from their expressions and appearances, they were obviously hooligans who had been rolling around in the streets all year round.

"Grassmen Zhang Wu, Li Niushuan, Wang Ergou...Kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live." Several local hooligans have never seen such a battle before, and immediately fell to their knees as soon as they entered the door.

Hearing these names, almost everyone twitched at the corners of their mouths. Many of them had never been in contact with such ordinary people in their lives. Liang Honglie had seen many of them before. When he saw these people, he thought of his General Lin Lian.

To these people, Liang Honglie was naturally inconvenient to speak, only Lin Bai said coldly: "The emperor is here, please explain honestly, why did you set fire to the He Family Academy?"

Those ruffians were already trembling with fright, and when they heard Lin Bai's words, they rushed to say: "Your Majesty, someone paid us to burn it, and we just collected money to do things."
