A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 427: Officials don’t have time to live in Korea
Wang Xin naturally knows what consequences such a legal supplement will have if it is issued.

But it is better for officials to have no life than for the people to have no life.

Between officials and the people, Wang Xin naturally favored the people.

The emperors of Daqian in the past dynasties never trusted the integrity of officials, otherwise there would be no inspection censors, censorship desks, embroidery envoys and secret guards.

Besides, no matter how hard it is to be an official, can it be harder than that of the common people?You don’t have to be an official if you feel it’s hard. No one is forcing you to become an official.

No matter how hard it is to be an official, can it be compared to what happened during the Hongwu period?In the real world, how many officials did Zhu Hongwu kill in his lifetime?There must be tens of thousands of them anyway.How many did Da Gan kill?At best, there are only a few hundred, and more are just exiles.

Where did it take to get there?
Even if these laws continue to be implemented, there will still be an endless stream of people in the world who want to be officials.

Wang Xin then handed the supplementary regulations to the three ministers and nine ministers for review, and asked them to submit a letter to express their opinions.But were you actually asked to give your opinion?This is telling you to go through implementation.

Just not long ago, Wang Xin’s brother-in-law’s behavior was different, but he cut it off?He was a relative of the emperor and the brother of Queen Zhao. He cut him off as soon as he was told, without any hesitation.

Except for Zhao Fu, the Luoyang Order and officials from various ministries who helped him escape the crime were all punished. Among them, the Luoyang Order was given an additional level of punishment and was directly sentenced to death.

Wang Xin was very disgusted with the Luoyang Order. It was these people who repeatedly bent the law for personal gain, causing the court's authority among the people to decline little by little.

For such people, Wang Xin will naturally deal with them severely.

It took the Wang family's continuous promotion by three emperors to make Daqian's prestige increasingly stable in the hearts of the people.The people believed in the imperial court, believed that the imperial court would enforce the law impartially, and believed that the imperial court would uphold fairness and justice.

It takes decades to establish this kind of prestige, but it only takes a few months to destroy it.

Just like in real history, Zhu Yuanzhang spent his whole life to make the people at the bottom believe in him and the Ming Dynasty. But after Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, it only took Zhu Yunwen four years to make the people all over the world no longer believe in him.

Wang Xin has already dealt with officials in accordance with the law. What can the three gongs and nine ministers do? They just agree honestly.

If you really dare to submit a letter to express your opinion, haha, you thought the suggestion box under the surveillance camera was for you to post your opinion letter?
Just when Wang Xin was supplementing the law, Yan sent an envoy to pay tribute to Yan Jizi from North Korea.

Daqian also knew something about Jizi Korea.Jizi Korea was the uncle of Emperor Xin during the collapse of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Jizi was unwilling to surrender to the Zhou Dynasty, so he led some of the Yin and Shang remnants to the north of the country of Yue, Liaoze, and entered the Korean Peninsula.

Jizi Korea was basically founded at the same time as the Huai Kingdom, but Jizi Korea never thought about going south to the Central Plains and rebuilding the Yin Shang Dynasty.

At that time, Jizi led tens of thousands of people to the north. Because the distance was too far, Bangzhou did not lead his army to attack, allowing them to escape.It was not destroyed like the state of Bei.

However, the Zhou Dynasty was also worried that Jizi would lead his army from the north to the south again, so he enfeoffed the Yan State to Jidi and guarded it for generations.

At the beginning, the Yan State was to monitor Jizi North Korea and defend against the Hu people in the north.

When the Yan State was strong and prosperous, it even included Liaodong into its territory and drove Jizi Korea to the peninsula.

Later, because Liaoze was difficult to travel, the Korean Peninsula was mountainous, and the climate was cold, the Yan State was unable to attack, so it became a surveillance operation.

In the first few generations of Jizi Korea, they still had the idea of ​​​​going south to reoccupy the Central Plains, but after a few generations, the descendants of the next generation have long forgotten these things.When Daqian was established, the First Emperor sent envoys to Jizi North Korea, but Jizi North Korea did not recognize Daqian as the suzerain.

The Wang family is the descendant of Zijue. Zijue was also not a legitimate son, but a concubine. He was the same as Jizi and Weiziqi, but he was much younger than them.

If the Song Dynasty had not had its back broken and had to ask the Huai Kingdom for help, it would not have respected the Wang family as its sect.You must know that since the Three Prisons Rebellion and the death of Duke Zhou Jian, the direct lineage of the Yin and Shang Dynasties has basically died.

After the Zhou Dynasty, Wei Ziqi was made Duke of Shang and allowed to establish the Song Dynasty. This was to recognize that Wei Ziqi was a direct descendant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.Naturally, they were unwilling to recognize the Wang family as their direct lineage.

Then it was almost destroyed by other countries and had to recognize the Wang family as the main clan.Of course, from the beginning, the Wang family did not approve of the Wei Zi Qi lineage of the Song Dynasty.

Zijue knew everything about what Wei Ziqi had done back then. It was the nobles he contacted who were dissatisfied with Emperor Xin who turned against him and joined the Zhou people to attack Chaoge City, forcing Zijue to flee in embarrassment.

At that time, those Yin and Shang nobles just wanted to use the power of the Zhou people to overthrow Emperor Xin and choose a new person, but they did not expect that the Zhou people would also use this opportunity to completely overthrow the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

Those Yin and Shang nobles never dreamed that the Zhou people, who had always been weak in their hearts, could have such strong power.

Jizi North Korea did not send envoys to pay tribute when Daqian was founded.

He even had to compete with the Wang family for the position of the major sect and the minor sect. When he learned the news, the First Emperor laughed angrily.

Jizi North Korea is just a small place, but it dares to discuss priorities with him.The First Emperor wanted to send out a large army to attack Jizi North Korea and directly annex Jizi North Korea.

However, Daqian had been fighting for many years to unify the Xia lands, and everything was in ruins. In addition, the Huns from the north were harassing them, so they gave up the army.

I originally thought that I would conquer the army to destroy it and then annex it, but it turned out that I didn't have time until it collapsed.By the time of Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen began to recuperate and did not pay much attention to Jizi North Korea, but instead enfeoffed King Yan.

I want King Yan to destroy Jizi North Korea.

Emperor Wen had been to Northern Xinjiang back then and was very aware of the difficulty of traveling through Liaoze and the bitter cold in the north. If a large army marched north, it would not only require a large amount of food and grass, but there would definitely be a lot of casualties.

The casualties mentioned here are not fighting, but marching.

Liaoze is difficult to pass, especially in winter, when the climate is cold and the army cannot pass. However, due to the short spring and the melting of ice and snow, Liaoze is even muddy, so it can only be passed in summer and autumn.

Otherwise, we need to take a detour further north, but that route is equally difficult.

So Emperor Wen gave up the army attack, and instead divided the vassal states.

The Yan State was enfeoffed in Liao, and at the same time it recruited people to build a passable road in Liao Ze. At the same time, Emperor Wen also ordered the construction of ships in the north, hoping to communicate with the Yan State by sea.

However, the northern sea is frozen in winter, and sea-going ships are technologically backward and can only sail along the coast.Access is not easy.
