Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 901 Uses and meanings are not the same
The major case in the south was settled, and it did not adopt high-handed and light-handed measures under the situation of "the crowd was indignant", on the contrary, it became more severe.Murder, exile, family separation, the combination of all kinds of treatment methods, it is really hard to see where it is "letting go", on the contrary, it is more like an extremely severe punishment.But then again, it seems that it is not unacceptable that the saint did not kill the heads of the southern family this time.

Although the Guanlong people and the Shandong gentry felt that their goals had been achieved, they still felt that they were not able to use the emperor's knife to violently kill the southern aristocratic family.However, it's not that they can't accept such a solution. After all, this is a severe blow to the southern family.

It is not up to the imperial court to decide how many chief culprits will be killed, but judging from the sage's resolute attitude this time, there will be no fewer people killed.The family members behind were exiled to the frontier, Liaodong Road and other places. This is a fact that is more unacceptable than killing people.It can be called murderous!
The aristocratic family is entrenched in the place, or it is called the prefect, or the county prefect. Now the emperor wants to directly implicate those accomplices, force them to separate their families, and break them up to the bitter cold area. This is not only a blow to the southern aristocratic family, but also a torture their children.

In other words, this is a different kind of killing chickens and monkeys.It is equivalent to telling those disobedient families; see if you see it, I have plenty of ways to torture you!Of course, the aristocratic families are extremely afraid of this.Killing people is not terrible, what is terrible is killing people and killing people.

If the emperor directly kills people this time, it will make those southern families unite and separate from the north.However, the emperor chose to kill the chief culprit and exile the accomplices. At the same time, he was not fully prepared to eradicate the southern aristocratic family, leaving them with a way of life that was not a way of life. This made them unable to make up their minds to fight against the court.

At this moment, fear occupies the heart of the southern family, rather than rebellion.There is a saying in the art of war, three circles lack one.Leave a way out for the enemy, and they won't fight to the death.This is a trick that is not clever, but it is more effective.

Prince Li Chengzhao was thoughtful. He found that his father had already made a decision on this matter, and the quarrel among the ministers did not seem to have any influence on his father.Thinking of this, he recalled the matter of his father's meeting with the prime ministers before.If the emperor didn't care about the opinions of the ministers at all, why did he let himself listen to their quarrel again and again?

Unable to understand, Li Chengzhao was a little dizzy. He really didn't quite understand the problem.But now the dynasty is not over yet, so he has no way to ask his father directly.I can only wait until the next court to see if my father is willing to give me an answer.

Another half an hour passed, and the details of the handling of the big southern case 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 guys go.

After solving this matter, it is inevitable to start the next topic, which is to share the cake.After all, officials from the southern department stumbled this time, and with so many positions vacated, it was a feast for division.Even though the Zhengshitang and the six ministers hadn't been touched much, many ministers, Yuanwailang and officials of the nine temples had been eliminated.

This is not a vacancy for a local official, but a real vacancy for an official in Chang'an. Who can let go of such an opportunity.According to Emperor Zhenguan's employing personality, the future Xiangguo must be selected from the six departments with increasingly powerful powers.But if you want to enter the sixth department, you need a certain amount of 'reserve qualifications'.

What is Reserve Qualification?

To put it simply, when you become an official, you have the opportunity to stay in Chang'an as an official, similar to the top few in the imperial examination, staying in Liubu to watch politics.Then, after a certain number of years, he will be released as an official, and after a few more years, he will be able to enter the sixth department as a servant after making achievements.

Yes, it's the servant, not the minister.Cen Wenwen, Dai Zhou and others were able to become ministers directly from local places, which has become a thing of the past.What's more, the reason why they were able to directly skip the ministers and become ministers was mainly because they used to be the confidantes of the emperor's old ministers, and they were originally sent out to be plated with gold and act according to the 'rules'.

But others can't do it. From the local governor to the central government, the highest can only be a servant, and then see if there are other opportunities in the future, and then work hard to become a minister or something.

At present, the six ministers are actually in the category of founding heroes, and few of them have been 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, familiarize yourself with political affairs, and then transfer to other places. After a few years, you will be transferred back to Chang'an as an official according to your political achievements.

This period of time is not short, at least it is more than 15 years.

It seems that the incident of becoming a servant at the age of 30 or [-] is no longer repeated. Now that the government is becoming more and more stable, everything must be done according to the rules.There are no rules, no rules, only when there are rules can the conventions be established and people dare not offend easily.

After the Guanlong people and the Shandong gentry joined forces to beat up the southern aristocratic families, they immediately began to arrange officials with Shushengren.The reason why they suppressed the southern family so hard was for their own benefit in the final analysis, otherwise they would have nothing to do when they are full and have nothing to do to offend others.

Li Zhiyun is well aware of this.Naturally, it was impossible for him to beat up the southern family violently with his front foot, and then throw away the knife in his hand with his back foot.Although he said that he will destroy all these knives one day, they still need to use them now.

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse.Of course, a certain noose must not be forgotten, otherwise the horse will run out of control, which will violate the original intention.

"If there is a shortage of officials in each ministry, all lovers can recommend them on their own. I will carefully consider them with several ministers." Li Zhiyun said lightly.

To put it bluntly, he was fighting, openly fighting.Don't you all want to recommend your own people, so let's fight, fight to the death!
This is a conspiracy, even if some smart people can think of it, it is useless, because no one can refuse such an opportunity to enhance their own strength.

"The ministers obey the order."

Not to mention those frustrated southern officials, the Guanlong people and Shandong gentry were full of excitement and eagerness to try.

Isn't that what they were waiting for?

As for fighting?
Who hasn't struggled these days.

The Great Court Meeting is over, and the matter of the big southern case can be regarded as a kind of dust settled.In general, many people will definitely die this time, as for the specific number of people, it depends on the court's definition of the chief culprit.But, nothing less.

However, this is not the point. The point is the position vacated by the officials of the southern department who have been imprisoned for crimes.However, this is the focus of the court officials.For the common people, nothing is more important than eating melons.

To be honest, in the past few years, once the saints started to kill, tens of thousands of people would arrest them, which is really terrifying.

This also proves on the other hand that today's sages say what they say.

After Li Chengzhao went to court, he found his father, and couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart.

"Father, my son doesn't understand very well. You seem to have made a decision a long time ago. In that case, why do you have to hold a grand court?"

Li Zhiyun smiled lightly, as if guessing that his son would ask this question, he taught: "Remember, sometimes when doing something, don't look at whether it is meaningful, but whether it is useful."

After the words fell, Li Chengzhao fell into thought.
