No one expected that Zhang Liao would suddenly kill the chief clerk of the Protectorate's Mansion on the spot!
But Zhang Liao did that.
Because Zhang Liao felt that he had this responsibility on his shoulders!
You need to take responsibility!
Just like the structure of the Protectorate, it was a pioneering move in the Han Dynasty.
Before Han Dynasty, there was no Protectorate...
The reason why there were many things in the Han Dynasty leading the world is because during the Han Dynasty, the Han people in the Central Plains of China would not say that there was no such precedent, teachers did not teach, saints did not do this, etc., and then they would not do it openly.
There is no precedent, the Han people are the precedent.
If no one teaches it, the Han people will pass it on to future generations.
If there is no sage to refer to, the Han people are comparable to sages.
After the Western Han Dynasty unified the Western Regions, the Western Regions Protectorate was established. At first, it was just a "envoy lieutenant" to manage military farming matters. Later, I found that there were many things to be managed and the territory was very large, so I did not say that I was limited by any precedents, the law was first, or I thought about not opening this hole, not letting the unruly people take advantage, and not having any loopholes, so I "protect the North Road" and set up the "protectorate".
From Zheng Ji as the first Western Region Protectorate to the end of the Western Han Dynasty, he served as Western Region Protectorate 18 people, with 10 names found in history, and his inheritance was orderly. The Protectorate, Deputy Protectorate, Chief Secretary, Sima and other positions were established in the Protectorate Office. The above were focused on military affairs. Later, there were also record officials and officials, including military affairs, military affairs, and officials, and officials, and officials, and officials, and officials.
It’s a pity that the Han people later failed to inherit this courage and this spirit.
At least there aren't those people in front of you.
Not at all.
The chief clerk of the Protectorate Office is similar to the position of the same name as the prefecture and county. Because it involves some confidential documents, it is not high but has a very important position as the hub, so it is generally held as the confidant of the local chief. Later, it was also realized in the reform of the official position system of the feudal dynasty, and the power of the chief clerk gradually became weaker and became an ordinary documentary official.
Therefore, the person who is currently serving as the chief clerk in the Western Regions Protectorate is the relative of Mrs. Lu Bu, who is said to be the nephew of Mrs. Yan.
There are two Lady Lu Bu, one is Mrs. Yan, and the other is Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei is dead in the war. Yes, Mrs. Wei is Wei Xu's girl.
As for that little grass, it is just a favored concubine.
Therefore, before Zhang Liao took action, no one expected that Zhang Liao really dared to kill the chief clerk. Even the chief clerk himself probably felt that it was just a tragic pain at most, so he dared to stand in front and speak.
Is it a common practice in the officialdom? Anyone who does something wrong or does something will inevitably be the fault of the big one. The leader is unaware of it and does not understand the situation at all. Once the matter is big, he will dismiss his posts and investigate and prosecute it in the name of the big one and the big one and publicize it to eliminate public resentment and anger. After a period of time, those big ones who are used to take the blame will quietly resume their positions and even get higher positions.
If there is no benefit behind it, no one is willing to resist the blame, right? Of course, the so-called no one is not necessarily a temporary worker, but it may also be a series of gloves such as white gloves or green gloves, just like various leather-holding companies used to isolate debt and obtain benefits in capitalist countries.
Therefore, Chief Yan felt that at most, he would be responsible for a mistake of being in prison. At most, he would apologize in public and express his attitude, and then he could deal with the most serious person who was responsible for the crime. He would just wait until the limelight was over.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Liao took action directly and chopped his head with a disagreement!
Living is still a human being, and dead is just a pile of meat.
carrion.
Zhang Liao did not hide his disgust at all, lifted the blood from the sword, and then said in a deep voice: "All of you are scholars, you should know the basic system of etiquette! What is etiquette? Etiquette is to prevent chaos! Establishing a protective palace in the Western Regions is not to seek fame and fortune, but to comfort the vassals and to calm foreign invaders, to prevent chaos in the Western Regions!"
"In terms of the way of life and death, the law of etiquette and punishment, you are better than someone. However, this son of Yan stole the title of the cavalry, the entrusted by the Gu Du Protector, and the people in the Western Regions were betrayed, greedy, cunningly said to escape from crimes, and abused innocent people. However, he said that he did not know the crime, the officials did not know the question, the people were deceived, the people called for the quotations but did not hear them, and died in vain! What was his position and what was his responsibility?!"
"If you talk about loyalty, if you go against the master and do your own private affairs, how can you talk about loyalty?"
"If you talk about filial piety, how can you say filial piety if you disobey human ethics?"
"If you talk about benevolence, it will harm the people and harm them, how can you talk about benevolence?"
"If you discuss the meaning, how can you express your meaning when you cunningly waive your blame?"
"Everyone who is unfaithful and filial, unkind and unrighteous, can be punished!"
"The person who came, he took his body and hung it on the top of the city!"
"The house was seized, the prisoner's family was arrested, and the property was lost according to the law, and the wife was the servant!"
As soon as Zhang Liao said this, he was frightened by a large number of people again.
Suddenly, a soldier stepped forward, dragged his body, held his head and left.
The blood dragged a long trace on the ground, and the smell of blood spread everywhere, and the remaining people had different expressions. Some were pale, some had red faces, some had their legs and feet trembled, and some were still motionless.
Confiscate property, is your wife a servant?
Although Fei Qian implemented the "Law of Corruption" in Guanzhong, he did not have a deep understanding of the "Law of Corruption" for the newly established administrative organization in the Western Regions and the recent loss of the regulatory system after Li Ru's death.
This is also a very normal phenomenon. After all, what happens to others is stories. Just like the feudal dynasties in later generations, it is not that the generals and minors say that someone in a certain place was arrested for corruption and the whole family was stolen. Didn’t it also listen to it as a story? There is also the skin-skinned and grass-filled in the early Ming Dynasty. After a long time, it was gone after a word of the following?
After the Longyou incident, the local administrative system of "4321" has gradually developed in various places, but in Xihai, it is still the same as Xiliang in that year.
Therefore, when Zhang Liao expressed that "a corrupt person has the same crime as his wife", some people couldn't help but jump out and shouted for justice.
"Even if the chief clerk died, Confucius said, "Guide him to politics, to punish him, to be punished, and to be shameless. Guide him to be virtuous and to be polite, to be shameless. Guide him to be virtuous and to be polite, to be shameless and stubborn." Laws are used to govern, not to control the source of clear and turbidity. If the government is extinguished, it is not a harsh martial arts, and the evil can overcome his responsibilities and be happy!" Someone stood up and said loudly, "The Han Dynasty was in a row, and it was broken into a circle, and the chopped withered was simple, and the net was leaked from the fish that swallowed the boat, and the government did not become traitorous, and the people were Aian. The general blamed his wife for being wrong. His wife did not hate what he had hated at home, so how could he punish him? If the general did this, wouldn't he be innocent and there was no mistake in the punishment, so how could the law exist and what should the law be?!"
Zhang Liao looked at the man and did not immediately cut him with a knife. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Who are you?"
"At the Guardian of Xia Nai Dufu, Luo Zheng!" The man did not hold a lake at all, and said in a deep voice, "Is the general trying to kill someone?"
Zhang Liao smiled and said, "How many jobs are Luo? But today's appointment?"
Luo Zheng was stunned for a moment, obviously not very clear about why Zhang Liao asked him how long he was in office. He thought Zhang Liao questioned his short term, so he didn't understand the situation, so he replied loudly: "I have been in the next consultant for more than a year."
Zhang Liao nodded, "I have been in office for more than a year, and I dare to ask for advice, have I ever spoken for the people?"
"Ah?" Luo Zheng's eyes widened.
Zhang Liao pointed to the bloodstain in front of the hall, "Counselor Luo was righteous and ruthless, and he was angry about this. However, the people of the West Sea were suffering very much, would the counselors say unfairly?"
"Ah?" Luo Zheng still widened his eyes. Isn't this talking about whether Yan Zhubu Yan's wife is innocent or not? Why did it suddenly become an ordinary person? What is the relationship between ordinary people's fairness and Yan Zhubu Yan's wife?
Seeing that Luo Zheng still didn't understand, Zhang Liao turned around and asked Zhang An: "Zhi Yin Jianzhang is engaged in it, oh, no, I have heard of the Chief Secretary Zhang, how is this person's achievements?"
Zhang An sighed silently, stood forward, slowly raised his head, which had been lowered all the time. The expression on his face also changed from the careful appearance at the beginning to like a blade pulling out of the scabbard. His eyes skipped over Luo Zheng and said directly: "Luo Zheng, a native of Baishi County, Longxi, moved to Xihai in the sixth year of Taixing. He was good at classics and mastered arithmetics. He was the first to serve as a counselor in the seventh year of Taixing. Most of them regard the name of false names and are empty and superficial. Although there are no obvious evil deeds, they are not willing to do anything to the people."
Zhang Liao nodded, "What a pity."
What a pity?
Luo Zheng was in his heart for a moment. Before he could figure out why Zhang Liao said it was a pity, he heard Zhang Liao continue to say: "What a pity, it's knowledgeable and talented, and he is all learned from the belly of a dog. Who is Yan Zhuan? Zhang Supervisor!"
Zhang An obviously no longer retained it now, and said loudly: "The chief clerk Yan is greedy. In the government office, he used the name of a guru to collect bribes and exploit officials. Anyone who has not offered any respect will be evaluated as a low-quality product and will not be dismissed. The wealth and goods at home are incomplete, and there are dozens of fertile fields in the manor west of the city, and thousands of cattle and sheep, all of which have received income over the years."
Zhang Liao nodded and added, "There are also incompetent positions, corruption and misleading matters, delaying military rations, and obstructing military law!"
Zhang An bowed his hand and said, "Record the humble position."
Zhang Liao turned his head and said to Luo Zheng, "You are unfair to Yan and think that his wife is innocent? When his wife enjoys her, she is not corrupt money? If you use her unfair money, you should have the same guilt! If you really have a righteous heart and make a grievance for the world's injustice, why have you not been accused of the people for more than a year? When the people in the West Sea are very labor-intensive, where are you? When soldiers pay for orders and pay for others to be corrupt, what do you say? When punishing evil, you can't bear it and say that the wicked wife is innocent, but why don't you see your good deeds? The suffering of the people, you ignore and hear them! This heart can be punished!"
Luo Zheng's face suddenly turned pale, his body trembled, and he was speechless.
What Zhang Liao said is indeed the case.
Good people cannot be determined by just one sentence, nor does it mean that good people will only do good things throughout their lives, and bad people will do bad things throughout their lives. However, Chinese people often have a misunderstanding, that is, they like to stand in a high moral position, as if they can persuade the bitch to be good. If the butcher puts down his knife, they can have great merits and great deeds. For this reason, they will not hesitate to offer high prices to the bitch butcher, saying that as long as they repent, they will not blame the good people, and then turn around and blame them. As long as the good people do something wrong, they will step on their feet and curse for thousands of years.
Under the guidance of such thinking, officials and Confucian scholars standing on high places often like to talk about fairness, indicating how innocent the children of criminals are, but turn a blind eye to the suffering of the people. Such remarks can be said to be punished.
The law of etiquette and law is strict, and the most fundamental purpose is to maintain social stability, punish evil and promote good, promote righteousness, and eliminate evil. Corrupt people, like the chief clerk, receive bribes and buy manors. Their own, including his wife, enjoy wealth and wealth with their power, master a large number of resources, and gain more convenience than ordinary people. But now Luo Zheng said that his wife is innocent, so he cannot punish them together?
This type of argument is what Sour Confucians like the most, and the so-called confusion of right and wrong.
When Luo Zheng talked about the innocence of the chief clerk's wife, he did not talk about whether the soldiers who died on the battlefield were treated preferentially, nor did he protect the rights and interests of ordinary people in the face of heavy labor and endless exploitation. These people who are similar to Luo Zheng's appearance are all high-sounding, but in fact they ignore many specific unfair treatment at the bottom, and instead care about whether the wives and families of corrupt officials can be placed. They righteously expressed how innocent the criminal's wife is, but how to ensure indifference to the rights and interests of the people who are truly miserable and innocent.
To get to the bottom of it, it is just that these people are afraid that once they are investigated and punished, they will be implicated in their families if they are really implemented in accordance with the Law of Corruption. Therefore, they only use the name of fairness to find a way out for their families.
It must be said to be far-sighted.
"By the way," Zhang Liao suddenly patted his head lightly, "I'm reckless..."
Luo Zheng suddenly felt as if he had grabbed the last straw of drowning, and looked at Zhang Liao with all his energy.
Zhang Liao turned his head to look at Zhang An, sighed and said, "I'm so tired after running around for days... I forgot to ask Counselor Luo to say a few more words and ask if there are people who have the same feelings... After all, there are probably many problems for those who can speak for Zhang Zhengyi for Yan Zhuzhu..."
Zhang An coughed, not knowing whether he should say it was right or wrong.
As for Luo Zhengze, he was stupid, his face was yellow and white, and he had no previous righteous and stern manner, but seemed vulgar.
Zhang Liao waved his hand, and did not continue to pay attention to Luo Zheng, but continued to say to Zhang An: "Since that is the case, I will be troubled by the supervision of Zhang... And according to the investigation of the Ministry of Information, the law will be punished. Kill if you should be killed, and punish if you should be punished!"
Zhang An looked at Zhang Liao with bright eyes, "I dare to ask the general, is it all... or...
Zhang Liao reached out and signaled, "All! I don't have so much time to chew with these people!"
Zhang An took a long breath, then lowered his head to take the order, then took a step forward, stood in front of the blood-stained steps, and looked around the officials of the Protectorate.
He actually has a book of accounts for these people and remembers them every time.
As the supervisor of Youwensi hidden in the Western Regions, he has been silently recording for a long time, just for this day!
Originally, Zhang An did not confirm Zhang Liao’s idea, and did not know whether these records should be taken out. However, after Zhang Liao killed the chief clerk, he pointed out Zhang An’s hidden identity, so Zhang An understood that it was time.
It's time to settle the accounts!
Zhang An's eyes were on one of them, "Sima Chen, the Sima of the Protectorate, deducted military pay, stole and sold military equipment, and followed the law..."
Before Zhang An finished speaking, a man suddenly rushed out of the queue of the Protectorate Mansion, took out a dagger from his arms, and rushed straight towards Zhang Liao with his back to everyone!
This person is the Sima of the Protectorate’s Mansion that Zhang An mentioned!
Since Sima, he has more or less a martial arts skills, he suddenly rushed out when Zhang Liao turned around and his eyes were not on everyone. It was like a poisonous snake suddenly exposed its fangs and bit Zhang Liao's back white!
Zhang An was shocked and his heart was pulled tightly, and he watched the man pounce on him...
Sima of the Protectorate's Mansion also had a ferocious smile on his face. He felt that Zhang Liao himself brought not many soldiers. If he killed Zhang Liao in one fell swoop, the next thing would be simple!
He even thought about how to cover up the truth. As long as Zhang An falsely accused the chief clerk, Zhang Liao bullied all the officials of the Protectorate's Office for no reason, the chief clerk Yan could not bear the humiliation, and resisted in anger and was brutally killed. So everyone fought back in anger and killed Zhang Liao and Zhang An!
Anyway, the officials at the Protectorate's House are more or less involved in some corruption, more or less, otherwise they will not be able to stay in the Protectorate's House, so to some extent they are all "our own people"!
Of course, "Owner's People" must protect "Owner's People"!
Sima of the Protectorate was right. Just like Luo Zheng, who just said that Yan Zhuan’s wife was innocent, actually shared some benefits in it. Although he did not ask for bribes on the surface, he was also considered one of the vested interests, so he stood up to speak for Yan Zhuan. As the saying goes, taking money from others is naturally to eliminate disasters.
So as long as Zhang Liao is killed, everything will be fine...
Sima of the Protectorate's House saw that the dagger he stabbed was about to pierce into Zhang Liao's back heart, and his face became even more ferocious, but suddenly his eyes blurred, and Zhang Liao suddenly lost his trace in front of him!
When Sima of the Protectorate was about to control his pounced pace and attempt to find Zhang Liao's traces, he felt that he seemed to float. Then he saw a headless body stretching out his hand, holding a dagger, and pounced forward, and finally hitting the steps of the hall...
At this moment, Zhang An stood aside, opened his mouth wide and just shouted the word "small".
Chapter completed!
