Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Although the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, the methods used to control the herdsmen were much more lenient because of the lenient to aid the fierce.

Of course, this kind of magnanimity is only compared with the Qin Dynasty, and the magnanimity of the Western Han Dynasty is just a gesture, while the magnanimity of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a kind of helplessness.

The state of Qin imposed strict restrictions on officials, and even formulated special anti-corruption laws and regulations, "The Way of Being an Official", which highlighted the legal supervision of officials' management of materials and properties to prevent corruption. In terms of crime, if you pass a coin, you will be tattooed as Chengdan: that is, if the bribe reaches a copper coin, you will be punished with face tattooing and hard labor.

"Qin Bamboo Slips" also clearly stipulates that the order saying "don't do it and doing it" is "violating the order";

That is to say, in the Qin law, there are things that subjects are not allowed to do. Once they do it, it is illegal and criminal, and they will be punished to varying degrees. Those who are not good at appointment will be punished with their own crimes, that is, the officials who are recommended and appointed commit crimes, and those who are recommended and appointed must sit together, that is, keep their posts and sit together.

This approach has been followed by feudal dynasties in all dynasties. From a certain perspective, it can be regarded as a legislative example for later dynasties.

Therefore, Lianzuo actually existed before, but in the Western Han Dynasty, although the official assessment system with the core of "Shangji Law" and "Kaojiaolifa" was formed, it was indeed better than the previous dynasty in terms of system improvement, but In fact, the means of punishment have been much lighter.

For those who are the most corrupt, it is nothing more than stealing ten gold and abandoning the market.

In the Western Han Dynasty, a catty of gold was equivalent to [-] pieces of five baht coins, that is, officials who embezzled more than [-] yuan of silver would be divided into death sentences
Comparing the [-] yuan of sentencing with the one copper coin of Qin State, we can see how magnanimous the Western Han Dynasty was.

As for the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was even more lenient.

The punishment for corruption is nothing more than dismissal from officials and exile, and severe punishment.At most, this capital punishment can only be borne by the criminal alone. If the punishment is severe, such as the corruption case of Uncle Sunguang, the Prime Minister of Qinghe in the early years of Emperor An, it is only the second generation of imprisonment, that is, Uncle Sunguang and his son will not be allowed to hold any official positions thereafter.

It seems that in the eyes of the people at that time, imprisoning the second emperor was considered a very heavy punishment.
Later, Juyan Duwei Fan Xun also committed serious corruption. I don’t know how many times. Anyway, according to historical records, Emperor An was very angry. Sun Guang was punished in the same way, but Taiwei Liu Kai objected, and proposed that according to the meaning of the book "Spring and Autumn", goodness and goodness should reach their descendants, and evil should be stopped. It is to encourage people to do good, and now imprisoning the descendants of corrupt officials may implicate good people , This is not the spirit of the former king's trial and sentencing.

After listening to the report, Emperor An affirmed Liu Kai's opinion.Sentences are only for criminals and not for innocent relatives.

Therefore, one of the most obvious features of the governing laws of the ancient dynasties of the Celestial Dynasty, the Lianzao system, was very rare at least in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But even in the most stringent Qin Dynasty, it was nothing more than ransacking the homes of criminal officials, exiling them, and classifying their families as low-ranking. Have.

...

Thousands of miles to be an official, what is the so-called request?
Most of them are nothing more than fame and fortune. Of course, there are still a small number of people who want to realize their own ideals and ambitions, but whether it is for fame and fortune or for ambition, these people must have one thing in common, that is, the lintel of glory. Must be proud of.

If he becomes a criminal minister or a corrupt official, not only will he not honor his family, but he will implicate his family and bring disasters to the world, so that future generations will be poked in the back forever and say that this untouchable is the descendant of a certain criminal minister.

Just ask, who can stand it?
May I ask who is not afraid?
It is true that only Guo Jia or Jia Xu, a poisonous man with a slanted sword, can think of such a vicious and even worthy of insidious strategy. It is impossible for a minister like Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu to come up with such a strategy. .

This is not a question of IQ, but of the way of thinking.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng glanced at Guo Jia calmly, full of emotions in his heart, no wonder in the history books there are often situations where cunning rabbits die and running dogs cook, when the ministers perform too well, it will indeed make the superiors give birth Inexplicable dread, even fear
And at this level, for these lonely people, it doesn't really matter whether the subject has the intention of being unfaithful or not.

The important thing is that his talent and ability have already become a threat!

At least Wang Zheng felt that Guo Jia's two strategies were too ruthless at this time. If it wasn't because of the riding and cutting system, he really couldn't guarantee that he would have any thoughts about such Guo Jia.

Of course, thinking from another angle, with Guo Jia's ingenuity, how could he not know that such a poisonous plan is a double-edged sword?
If he hadn't entered the system, he would have been completely devoted to Wang Zheng, so how could he, would he be so unreserved?
Naturally, Guo Jia was unaware of Wang Zheng's change of mind, and he just talked freely and calmly: This dynasty has been governed for a long time, and although corruption is evil, it is not as good as death.If it is easy to be punished by the lord clan because of its corruption, it will be very satisfying, but it will inevitably make people criticize the tyranny, and compare Xuzhou with the tyrant Qin. The deterrence is even worse, Lord Mingjian.

Wang Zheng pondered for a long time, looked at Mi Heng and asked: What does Zhengping think?

Mi Heng's expression changed for a moment, then he nodded after a long while and said: "Shangshu·Thai Oath" says: Heaven sees itself, the people see, Heaven listens to the people, and the offenders, children of corrupt people, and clansmen are put into separate books, Just like Tai Shigong put Deng Tong, Zhao Tong and Li Yannian into "Ning Xing Biography", this is a good strategy, but
Just what?Wang Zheng asked sideways.

Just as Guo Jijiu said, such a punishment seems to be lighter than the punishment of the owl head clan, but in fact it involves more extensively and has a great impact. It should still be determined according to the severity of the crime of the offender, and cannot be generalized.

That is natural.

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "One penny in the Western Qin Dynasty requires face tattooing, which is indeed too much, but the ten gold coins made in the Han Dynasty, hey, I am now poor and have a small business, so I can't afford such looseness."
Fengxiao's plan is very good. You and Zhengping, call Zhang Zhao to discuss the matter of compiling a separate book for the children and clan members of corrupt officials, and discuss the details. Well, let's set a new standard. How many records and what kind of crimes must be committed before the Tianji Camp will make a biography and spread it widely.

...

promise.

The two bowed to accept the order, and Guo Jia said again: My lord just said that two security guards came from Xuzhou today. Apart from the case of Chen Fu in Guang'an, is there any other major event?

It's not a big deal.

Wang Zheng smiled wryly, and handed Zhang Zhao's secret report to the two of them, you can read it for yourself.

The two took it and watched it one after another. Mi Heng was the first to finish it, and her expression froze immediately. Lu Qiling will leave for Shouchun soon?This.
Immediately, he looked at Guo Jia and snorted coldly, it seems that Guo's plan of offering wine didn't work.

Hearing this, Guo Jia's expression was still calm, he just lowered his head and read the letter carefully, and then smiled at Wang Zheng: "It's such a happy event, I should congratulate the lord!"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Zheng Miheng was stunned at the same time.

What does this mean?

After a moment of astonishment, Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and his eyes lit up: Since Lu Qiling is going to Shouchun, it means that Lu Bu and his daughter have not become ashamed and angry as we expected, and they will not take the initiative to regret the marriage, and there is no reason to change this matter , why Fengxiao is not worried but happy?
Guo Jia said calmly: Because it doesn't matter whether this plan succeeds or not!
If this plan is successful, it is natural that Lu Bu became angry and regretted the marriage on his own initiative. Once he made this decision, he would choose to have a bad relationship with the lord, and he would not dare to stay in Wu County, lest the lord raise an army due to his anger in the future, and make a large-scale crusade against him. There are reasons to draw a clear line with it, which is to resist the tiger with force.

Wang Zheng naturally agreed with this analysis, and Mi Heng on the side also nodded, but asked back: But now the strategy

Didn't work?
Not better!

Guo Jia smiled proudly when he heard the words, he could not resist the tiger, but he could drive the tiger away!

Drive the tiger?Wang Zheng became more and more surprised: he would like to hear the details.

Before Jia came out of Yingchuan, he heard the words of Lu Bu among men and Chitu among horses. Lu Fengxian was brave and good at fighting, and he was unparalleled in the world.

Guo Jia raised his head proudly, pointed at Jiangshan, and was impassioned: However, looking at this person's life in the past, he can be said to be arrogant, rebellious and unruly, and he is not a subject of human beings!

If the lord is in control, the minister fears that the disadvantages will outweigh the benefits. After thinking about it, he thinks that killing or expelling is the best policy, but now it seems that it is different.

How is it different?Wang Zheng asked sideways.

Guo Jiadao: In the eyes of the world today, Bu Wan'er is just a servant girl, how different is her identity from Lu Qiling?Sitting with the noble and the humble, without distinguishing between the superior and the inferior, can be described as extremely disrespectful, and a great shame and humiliation, how could Lu Bu bear it and restrain himself?
My lord, please think about it, what does this mean?
Wang Zheng bowed his head and pondered for a moment, looked up at Guo Jia, and said slowly: Even if there is a reason for the incident, Lu Bu still dare not fight against this general?

Or even if he was humiliated like this, he still wanted to attach himself to the general?

See you, my lord!

Guo Jia looked up to the sky and smiled: a warrior who has lost his courage, what else is there to be afraid of?How can a prince who has lost his ambition be self-reliant?

Today's Lu Bu is like a tiger with its fangs pulled out, a goshawk with its wings broken, and even more fearful of the lord, if this is the case, you can drive it!
As for how to drive, needless to say, the only daughter is married to Wang Zheng, and the alliance between the two is far stronger than that of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.

Guo Jia's analysis was reasonable, Wang Zheng was moved, but he still hesitated, glanced at Mi Heng and said:
...

In this way, Lu Bu can be regarded as a foreign relative. As Zhengping said before, Lu Bu's forces can openly participate and even interfere in our Xuzhou government affairs. Is this?

The minister also had this worry before, but now it is different.

Guo Jiadao: The so-called snake has no head but can't do it. Lu Bu, a prince, has already lost his heart. Without his tyranny, how much cohesion can the Bingzhou forces under his command have?How many threats?Nothing to worry about!
While talking, he changed the subject and said with a smile: Besides, the so-called foreign relatives are also a double-edged sword, which has both disadvantages and advantages.

My lord, please think about it, if Emperor Han Gao hadn't married Lu Zhi, how could he raise troops from Pei County?If Emperor Guangwu hadn't married Guo Shengtong, how could he have been supported by King Zhending Liu Yang?

This is the truth, Wang Zheng nodded.

If we talk about such examples, as a time traveler, he knows more than Guo Jia.

Not only Liu Bang and Liu Xiu, among the founding kings of the Chinese dynasties, there are countless wives who ascended to the throne of God through marriage.

For example, the Dugu family, the queen of Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was the daughter of Dugu Xin, the Great Sima of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Dou family, the empress of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, was also the daughter of Dou Yi, the former Shenwu Gong of the Sui Dynasty. Is the adopted daughter of the Red Scarf leader Guo Zixing?
This even became a point of Ming Hei's massive criticism.

In fact, looking carefully at Zhu Yuanzhang's family history, Guo Zixing's role cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is also negligible, probably because he helped a little by opening up land in the early stage.

Of course, the heavier the reliance on wives and clans in the early stage, the greater the disadvantages after taking power. Whether it was the change of Zhulu in the early Western Han Dynasty, Yang Jian's fear of internal affairs, or even the abolition of the elders and the establishment of the younger ones later, it led to the death of the second king of the Sui Dynasty. , are very representative cases.

For Wang Zheng, these are not problems.

One thing is that he now has a foundation and has become a climate. It was not when Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang were eager for the first pot of gold. Lu Bu's forces are now joining in, at least Conglong's first contribution is gone.

Its soldiers are slightly exhausted, compared to Liu Yang and Dugu Xin, it is not the same, and it is definitely not a timely help. From this point of view, the benefits of this foreign relative will not be too great, and the disadvantages will be the same.
It won't be too big.

Wang Zheng stood up proudly, paced around the room with his hands behind his back, thought for a long time, then nodded slowly: Feng Xiao's words are not bad, and Lu Bu seems to be available now.

Turning back to the desk and sitting down, he looked sideways at Guo Jia and asked, "How should we encourage him?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, pointed to a certain place on the map hanging on the wall in the study and said: A tiger that pulls out its teeth should only be a dog that guards the household!

Wang Zheng followed his fingertips and looked over: Pei Guo?

Immediately nodded again and again: This place is good!
What Guo Jia said is very clear. Although Lu Bu has lost his ambition and rebelliousness, he still cannot be taken lightly.

Therefore, after its forces join in, there must be a certain preventive effect in the early stage to prevent the possibility of it becoming bigger!
How to prevent it from getting bigger?Naturally, try not to let it behave, let it do meritorious service!
Once you have performed, you will have prestige, and you will be rewarded if you make contributions. Then you will have the possibility to win or even expand military power!
So why is Peiguo the most suitable place?
For one thing, this place is located in Yuzhou, which was originally a newly attached place. Lu Bu developed here, recruited troops, and guarded the gate for Wang Zheng, because Cao Cao, the biggest threat to the Xuzhou army, must pass through this place if he wants to attack Xuzhou from Yuzhou.

Second, if Lv Bu went to Pei, Xu could return to Pengcheng conveniently, and the two places are close to each other. If Lv Bu really had a different heart and made some changes, it would be difficult to easily break through the defense line of Pengcheng, which has a general sitting in the town and relying on Xiongguan.

Three things, although they didn’t make it clear, at this time, people like Guo Jia and Mi Heng can guess in their hearts that if Wang Zheng takes the initiative to mobilize troops, he will probably choose to go south to Jingzhou instead of going north to the Central Plains. Then Lu Bu in Pengcheng Forces naturally have a way to get involved.

If you can't participate even if you participate, how can there be any possibility of meritorious deeds and performance opportunities?
