Chapter 706 The People's Trial(1/2)

"Four People's Congress?"

The civil officials and military generals were confused.

"Yes, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and the Four People's Congress, I think you are very clear that this time, the quelling of the Nigou rebellion was largely based on the people. Those who win the hearts of the people won the world. It is precisely because the late emperor loved the people like his son that the people all returned to the late emperor. Therefore, the unconventional chaos immediately caused a lot of anger to the whole city and shouted to fight, just like Tang Woxue, annihilated overnight. Even if the unconventional enemy was used as a helper, it would only make people laugh, and the power of the people could be said to have overturned the boat!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

The civil and military generals immediately appeared in their minds outside Jinglongmen, and the crowds of people instantly drown the scene of the Jin army cavalry beating the princes. Then they suddenly felt a chill on their backs.

This is really a power to overturn the boat!

What if it was them who flooded the crowd?

I dare not think about it!

Yang Feng looked at their expressions with satisfaction.

"We must make good use of this force so that it will not go to the fork in the road. If such a powerful force is used by some ambitious people, it will happen. Think about the Yellow Turban Red Eyebrow, the Wagang Army, and Huang Chao, which are all the consequences of this force being out of control, even if this dynasty still has Fang La! The premise for making good use of this force is that the first thing is to do is to not isolate the inside and the outside. The people can make it impossible to make it impossible to know it.

Min is not a fool.

There is no future for fooling the people, and once the people wake up, they have to settle the accounts.

Although all the princes love the people as much as their sons and the people of the Song Dynasty were also very wise, they still need to understand each other.

For example, our official system reform.

We must let the people know and listen to the people's views on this. If there is anything wrong, we must correct it with good things. Only in this way can we achieve the highest and the highest, the lower and the upper, the inner and outer, the monarch and the people work together to build a harmonious and prosperous era of our Song Dynasty. Otherwise, we might be reborn at any time. It would be too late to regret it at that time. I don't think you want to end up like the reverse structure?

But how can we make the upper and lower emotions express?

Send a notice?

Listen to the drum?

If these are really useful, they will not produce squash.

Therefore, a more effective method is needed, that is, the Four People's Congress, which temporarily convenes representatives of the four people in Bianliang City, and jointly form the Four People's Congress. In the future, the court's policies and opinions of the people's people will be divided through this organization. After the Jin army is defeated, it can also be extended to the whole country. Scholars, farmers, industrialists and commerce from all over the country will be selected to come to Bianliang, so that the officials and the court's love for the people can reach the people directly, and the people's voices can also reach the heavens."

Yang Feng continued.

He actually just held a third-level meeting first.

Level 3 meetings are enough.

After all, this was the 12th century AD. If you take too much steps in this era, it would be easy to get rid of it. But a third-level meeting is still possible. The Song Dynasty was not the kind of Western Europe in the feudal era that was very strict in the hierarchy. There was no church or a true aristocrat. The nobles of the Song Dynasty were only a 25-person salary, which was essentially an additional title. By the way, a prince only had a few stakes a month, and no one was really afraid of even the imperial power.

The Zhao Guan family is not that high-ranking!

When Zhao Er was about to lose a sow, a citizen dared to beat the drum when he lost his mouth. Unfortunately, Zhao Er was not interested in finding him a pig and had to give him his usual money.

This is the status of the imperial power of the Song Dynasty among the people.

When we are in the Qing Dynasty, we will hit the thirty boards first.

To be precise, there were only two classes of the Song Dynasty, one was an official and the other was a civilian.

These two classes are not absolute, but can be moved. The people can become officials, and officials can also become citizens. Although the imperial examination system is despised by later generations, this is the best in this era. It at least gives the lower class a channel for improvement.

Europe is really very strict.

Although scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are divided among the people, and there are theoretically high and low levels, they are very vague.

For example, merchants had the lowest position in theory, but in fact, the business of the Song Dynasty was prosperous. Those merchants lived a comfortable life. Not only did they not have the restrictions on the imperial examination, but even some juren often brought goods to the Beijing exam and did business. The government sometimes invited merchants to participate in the establishment of commercial taxes. As for the prosperity of maritime trade in the Song Dynasty, there is no need to mention.

This is almost the highest dynasty for merchants.

The scholars do have the highest status in theory, but if they fail to pass the Jinshi exam, they are poor and poor. They do not have any privileges. They do not have any preferential treatment like the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Juren is exempted from the rank of the juren for three years, they are mainly for three years to prepare for the exam, but they have to go to the Ministry of Rites to take the exam again after three years. If they fail to get the exam, they don’t even have such preferential treatment. They are still poor and poor. They are not at the same level as the Ming Dynasty. Theoretically, the Song Dynasty has no scholar. The call "Scholar" just thinks that you have good academic knowledge in your studies. It is not because you really have this title.

As for the scholars who are exempt from vassals from vassals and money and food?

What a joke!

As for the court’s food distribution?

What about dreaming?

Therefore, there is a fundamental difference between the scholars of the Song Dynasty and the scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The latter was completely because of their high status, so they were accustomed to having bad habits. However, the scholars of the Song Dynasty were not so angry and resentful, and they could even produce some outstanding talents. After all, the Duke of Paohui was not born at this time. Duke of Paohui was born in 1130, and this was the period when Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty were not yet in the era of Neo-Confucian scholars. To a large extent, the Confucian scholars of this era still retained some of the Han and Tang dynasties of dismounting and writing poems and raising horses to cut people. The Northern Song Dynasty did not fall into the Confucian scholars, but the Northern Song Dynasty was indeed not. The Northern Song Dynasty was lost in the civil officials who used all means to expand their power for themselves, which eventually led to the unscrupulous and unscrupulous civil officials in order to protect this pattern.

For example, to inform the enemy for peace.

Therefore, the four people of the Northern Song Dynasty were not so distinct.

In this era, even the craftsman system did not exist.

The craftsman system was built by the Mongolians.

Then it was continued by the Ming Dynasty.

It has to be said that Emperor Hongwu has too many limitations, but he is just an illiterate farmer after all. He cannot expect that after the destruction of the Mongols and the civilization has been dying for nearly a hundred years, he can still follow the original development trajectory of the Song Dynasty.

Eighty years!

Enough to destroy a lot of things.

The craftsmen in the Northern Song Dynasty were just a kind of occupational registration on household registration. There were indeed various households in the government’s household registration, but it was just for the convenience of management and the convenience of the court’s need of craftsmen to be collected from the people. Although it was a levy-style forced employment, craftsmen were not inferior.

In fact, there is no problem for the descendants of craftsmen to take the imperial examination.

Zhao Er had already set rules when he was about to set an order. If there are outstanding people in the industry and commerce, local governments can recommend them, and even monks and Taoists can take exams when they return to secular life. As for the actual operation, it may not be that simple. After all, literati may have some black box operations when controlling the recommendation rights, but that is not a legal issue. In law, craftsmen also have the right to participate in the imperial examination, which is no different from scholars.

In fact, among the four people of the Song Dynasty, it was the peasants the most unlucky.

Because of the unrestrained mergers, the large number of tenants existed, and these tenants were at the bottom. They not only had to endure the exploitation of gentry or landlords, but also had to endure the exploitation of merchants. However, the advantage is that the prosperity of industry and commerce can greatly transfer population pressure.

They can make a living in the city.

Of course, they don't have any good days to go into the city.

After all, the budding capitalists are not good things either.

The earth in front of the door was completely covered with soil, there were no tiles on the house, and ten fingers were not stuck in mud, and the scales lived in the building.

What a vivid look!

Well, this is definitely not about modern migrant workers.

Therefore, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the hierarchical differences between officials and the people and the four people were already very vague. It can almost be said that they did not exist, and even slaves were almost gone. Although the general employment system was not fully established, most of them were already employed. The number of official slaves was very small, and a small number of pure slaves were also human rights. Not only could the masters not be killed, but their property rights were their own. There were even examples of maids who died accidentally and were convicted by enemies. As for Zhao Gou's maids who died too many maids, no one cared about it. This does not mean that the little luoli who were killed by him allowed him to harm him. This is not a problem in the Song Dynasty. It is not a big deal to kill a few low-level people at this level in any dynasty. He is an exception and cannot be used as a reference.

Such a society is close to equality.

Such a society can make the parliament sprout. Not only do it, it must be sprouted, but it also needs to sprout the constitution. But this has to be pushed back. Now the first step is to create the Four People's Congress and let the people break the sheep pen around the ruled first. However, Yang Feng still needs an excuse, an excuse that is not so exciting.

For example...

"And these four people's congresses are of great use at present."

Yang Feng said.

The whispered ministers immediately looked at him.

"Since the rebellion of the people was pacified by the people and he was also captured by the people, it should be handled by the people. After all, he is still the uncle of the official family. Moreover, not only Nigou was involved in the killing of the late emperor. Many of the brothers of the late emperor participated in the murder of the late emperor. They must be killed no matter what. However, the official family should not be stained with the blood of their relatives, let alone so many relatives. In addition to the Nigou, there are many other prime ministers involved in the rebellion party and even the mastermind, and these people must be killed. If they don't kill, I'm sorry for the spirit of the late emperor in heaven. However, since Taizu and Taizong of the Song Dynasty, they have treated the literati and officials well, and they rarely killed civil officials. Therefore, the official family should not be stained with the blood of civil officials. They must be killed, but they cannot be killed by the court.

The people will do this.

The Four People's Congress elected some people who were familiar with the law to form a court to judge and execute the rebels and their followers, so that the officials could avoid the blood of their relatives and civil officials on their hands."

Yang Feng said.

"Those, those rebels killed them all?"

Liu Yi said with a horror.

"Of course, kill them all. It is absolutely incompetent to kill the king. If you don't kill, it is simply unwilling to heaven. If you don't kill, how can you comfort the spirit of the late emperor in heaven? If you don't kill, you can let the Supreme Emperor rest in peace? If you kill two kings in a row, you will be unforgivable. You will be so kind to the civil officials of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years!"

Without Yang Feng's words, Liu Yanqing said viciously.

"Mr. Liu is so serious that he cannot generalize just because of a few bad apples. Most of the civil officials in our Song Dynasty are still loyal, just like Mr. Zhang and Liu. However, those who dare to kill the two kings and sell their country to lead the enemy into the city are indeed unable to comfort the Supreme Emperor and the late emperor without killing them. Therefore, they must be killed. Not only those civil officials who are plotting against rebellion, including those members of the royal family who are accomplices, must also be killed. However, those military generals who were deceived by unknown circumstances, such as Wang Yuan and others can be pardoned. After all, they just do their duty as ministers. They also immediately disarm their weapons and wait for punishment after knowing the true face of the Emperor. They will pardon the death penalty and stay in the army to serve!"

Yang Feng said.

The military generals praised them, while the civil officials looked melancholy.

But they really don't have the ability to resist.

No matter how they excused the arrested civil officials, they could not escape their crime of treason. They also treasoned the king and rebelled, and even killed the two kings. Previously, a palace maid in the palace had already confirmed that Zhao Gou and the royal family and ministers forced the emperor to flee to the Jin army together, but they were stopped by King Yue, Sun Fu and He Li, and the emperor refused to leave, so they instructed the Jin soldiers to kill the emperor and others.

This crime of regicide cannot be removed no matter what.

And the crime of regicide must also be executed.

"But his family doesn't have to be involved, right?"

Uncle Zhang said.

"If you exile, you will not kill your family, but you must also be exiled. If you exil to Qiongzhou, both the royal family members and the ministers of the party will be exiled to Qiongzhou!"

Yang Feng said.

This standard is very reasonable.

"If the king holds the handle of life and death, how can he give it to the people?"

Li Ruoshui said.
