One thousand four hundred and sixty-fifth section personnel adjustment 1
In the afternoon in Chang'an, the sun was shining brightly and the heat was unbearable.
The cicadas on the tree kept chirping endlessly.
But the enthusiasm of the people is brighter than the sun!
Prison cars one after another carried great figures who had been arrogant in the past, escorting nobles who were once domineering. The heavy shackles crushed everything they had in the past.
Everyone is heartbroken.
But no one came to sympathize with them.
Several generals and their children sat in the attic on one side, watching these once arrogant nobles and bureaucrats approach their end.
"Humph! The traitor deserves to die!" the generals said with righteousness and enthusiasm: "Who do you think you are who bullies orphans and widowed mothers?"
Under the attic, there were soldiers on both sides of the road, everyone's eyes were filled with anger.
There is no doubt that these people have become the enemies of all Han soldiers!
A series of sharp swords stood like a forest, making all the other aristocrats, bureaucrats and officials who were watching on the side tremble with fear.
Countless people have warned their disciples: "In the future, if you encounter orphans of military relatives, you must not act rashly..."
This time, the trigger of the incident was that the emperor went incognito to visit the family of the widow of a fallen soldier, which eventually led to such a tragic case!
The entire Neishi Yamen was almost wiped out.
In the past seven days, the Tingwei Yamen and the imperial censors have joined forces to kill more than a thousand middle and low-level officials, assistants, exiles and disciples, and the decades of efforts of countless scholar-bureaucrat families have been wiped out in one fell swoop.
Even the wealth and family they accumulated were regarded as stolen goods and confiscated.
Many large families returned to abject poverty overnight.
But surprisingly, no one or any force expressed their injustice or interceded for them.
After the emperor decided to increase the salaries of officials all over the world, and the increase would be at least doubled.
Everyone's focus is no longer on these dying people.
The idiom "a fox is sad when a rabbit dies" is certainly true, but the question is, if the rabbit's body and meat are for the fox to eat, will the fox still be sad?
I'm afraid I want to run naked to celebrate!
Now, the same is true.
When these people die, the vacancies, positions, and establishments they leave behind become targets for others to pursue.
Even officials in South Vietnam had their salaries and allowances increased because of their deaths.
Who will mourn them?
I'm afraid I can't wait to clap my hands and cheer!
To be fair, it would have been a great honor to have not gone to their graves to dance.
As for the majority of Chang'an people, they are extremely satisfied.
They looked at the dignitaries, ruffians, and powerful businessmen who used to do everything to prey on themselves, being locked up in prison cars like dogs. Everyone was inexplicably excited.
Many people who have resentment and hatred feel that their hearts are empty. Today is the day when the great revenge will be avenged.
For them, today, justice will be served and sin will be liquidated!
……………………
Standing in the prison car, with heavy shackles on his body, Xue Ze was almost pushed out of the prison car.
"The sinner Xue Ze, it's time to go on the road!" The executioner stepped forward, grabbed him like a chicken, and put him on the execution platform with one kick.
Xue Ze and dozens of other nobles, bureaucrats, and knights looked at those cold and sharp guillotines with great fear.
Among Han punishments, the highest level and the cruelest punishment at present is to cut in half!
Cutting in the waist, as the name suggests, means cutting off the criminal's body from the waist.
It is said that the prisoner will die extremely happily!
When their bodies are cut in two and blood from their internal organs and intestines flows all over the ground, in most cases they will still be alive and conscious.
They would roll around on the ground, watching helplessly as their internal organs flowed out, and then they would struggle, howl, and drag their bodies until they died in pain. Their hands would scratch a trail of blood on the ground.
That's not all. Eventually, the bodies and internal organs of these people will be dumped in mass graves, where they will be eaten by mosquitoes and wild dogs, and their bones will be exposed.
They will never receive blood, food, incense and sacrifice.
Future generations will also be unable to hold their heads high because of them!
Whether you are taking exams or joining the army, you will be faced with difficulties.
Sometimes, cruel torture and discrimination may last for decades, two, three, or even four generations!
Therefore, at this time, everyone's eyes were full of despair and fear.
But no one cares about them.
The official who oversaw the execution came over, picked up their heads, and identified them one by one to verify their identities.
Then, everyone was dragged to the tunnel pavilion in the market, and the guillotines were slowly opened one after another.
"The sinner Xue Ze..." As a former prince, at this time, Xue Ze was no different from the knights and merchants. He was dragged to the guillotine and into the tunnel pavilion, wearing a judge's uniform and a hat on his head.
Zhao Yu, the captain of the imperial court, stood solemnly, holding the execution book in his hand, and called the names one by one: "The sinner Zhao Shen... the sinner Cheng Lin... the sinner Cheng Wen..."
The names of dozens of prisoners who were about to be executed were read out one by one: "After investigation, it has been found that you have repressed the people and abused the government, disrupted the country, and destroyed the system of society. Your guilt is conclusive and verified. I, Wei Yu, uphold the righteousness of heaven and earth."
, according to the emperor’s edict, you and others will be cut in half!”
"Immediate execution!" Zhao Yu threw the execution book in his hand on the ground. The wolf-like soldiers immediately stepped forward, dragged up Xue Ze and others, and killed these criminals who were so frightened that they could not even move their fingers.
When he was pulled in front of the guillotine, a guillotine rose up.
Click!
The sharp guillotine cut off the body without mercy.
Blood spurts out!
pain!
Xue Ze's face was ferocious, his limbs were convulsing, and he started to wail fiercely.
His entire world was instantly occupied by pain that pervaded every cell in his body.
He desperately cried for help, crawling on the ground like all the prisoners he had seen cut in half in the story.
But the more he climbed, the more painful he became.
He managed to open his eyes and finally looked at the world.
What I heard in my ears were cheers like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and what I saw with my eyes were only the crowds of people cheering for excitement and happiness.
In a trance, Xue Ze seemed to see a chariot rumbling towards him, and a white-grey general covered in armor, holding a long sword, stood on the chariot.
His armor was covered in blood and scraps of flesh.
"Unfilial son!" the old general shouted angrily: "How did I educate you?"
Xue Ze opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't shout at all.
He could only shout desperately in his heart: "Grandfather! Grandfather! Save Ze'er! Save Ze'er! Ze'er doesn't want to die!"
But the old general ignored him at all. He just held his long sword and shouted: "I am a hero, but my family is unfortunate. It is really sad to have a disobedient son, bringing harm to the ancestors and descendants!"
Then, he drove the chariot and rumbled away into the distance.
Xue Ze was lying on the ground, with blood streaming from the corner of his mouth, and he stretched his hand forward feebly, but unfortunately he couldn't catch anything.
He is finally starting to regret it now.
"Guilty!" He wanted to shout loudly, but his vocal cords made no sound at all, and he could only yell babbling.
Finally, his entire body drooped, the luster in his eyes faded, and he stopped breathing.
An executioner holding a long knife walked up to his corpse, turned it over, and then said loudly: "The sinner Xue Ze has died of anger!"
"Abandon the market!" Ting Wei Zhao Yu said solemnly.
"promise!"
…………………………………………
For five consecutive days, the people of Chang'an witnessed an execution of unprecedented scale.
The intensity of this execution was second only to the intensity when the princes and ministers jointly executed the empress Lu to cleanse the Lu family members.
Almost every day, princes, nobles, and officials were executed en masse.
Corpses once filled the execution ground, attracting countless flies.
The people seemed to be having a grand festival, celebrating and cheering every day.
But for the emperor, it was time to clean up the mess.
This time, Liu Che had a good time, but he was also left with countless questions.
First of all, the internal history is basically paralyzed this time.
The entire market and Luli in Chang'an City are still in charge of Zhijinwu and Zhonglangjiang.
In other words, what is actually implemented in Chang'an now is military control.
For soldiers to control the grassroots, it's okay for a short time, but certainly not for a long time.
Therefore, how to solve the bureaucratic gap in Chang'an is a big problem.
Those officials with a thousand-stone or two-thousand-stone level are easy to deal with.
The most indispensable thing in the world is officials who want to make progress.
From Yanji all the way to South Vietnam, officials who want to come to Chang'an for gold plating can line up from Xiao Pass to Hangu Pass.
Therefore, the Prime Minister's Office put a candidate list of hundreds of people in front of Liu Che without any effort.
But the problem is that grassroots officials, especially experienced affairs officers, are really hard to find.
Especially, when this number reaches into the thousands, it becomes very troublesome.
Liu Che could only mobilize a large number of grassroots officials from various counties in Guanzhong, especially Maoling, Huayin and other places.
They even did not hesitate to transfer officials from the Moyuan area controlled by the Mohists to fill the vacancies.
Then, after this year's exams, a large number of new recruits will be assigned to fill the vacancies of these people.
In other words, the expansion of examinations this year is already a fact.
On the other hand, Liu Che had already issued an order to depose the Neishi Yamen.
In other words, from now on, the internal history among the nine ministers of the Han Dynasty has become a thing of the past.
He was replaced by Shangshu Ling, who became the new Jiuqing.
Ji An became the youngest Jiuqing in the history of the Han Dynasty - he became the Jiuqing at the age of twenty-seven. I ask you if you are afraid!
This is also a compensation for the Huang Lao Sect.
After all, if you cut off someone's thigh, you still need a bottle of Nutritional Express!
After the Neishi Yamen was deposed, the strongest bureaucratic system that had assisted the emperor, governed the entire Great Pass, and managed everything, naturally collapsed.
From this came three brand new yamen: Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng. They all had two thousand dan, and their status was the same as that of a county governor, and they enjoyed the treatment of courtiers.
Among them, Jing Zhaoyin has the highest status and is the most important, and enjoys the privilege of directly entering Bingweiyang Palace.
Its jurisdiction includes the greater Gyeonggi area including Maoling, Hongguyuan, etc. with Chang'an as its core.
The area under its jurisdiction has a population of over two million, making it the most densely populated area of the Han Dynasty.
Naturally, Ren Jing Zhaoyin had to choose a minister who was both capable, prestigious, and skillful.
Liu Che thought about it and finally decided to transfer Bo Shi, the governor of the Andong Protectorate, back to the court and use his relatives to suppress Chang'an.
Bo Shi has done a good job in Anton and has achieved outstanding political achievements, which is obvious to all. There is no problem for him to return to serve as Jing Zhaoyin.
The most important thing is that after Bo Shi returns, a new balance can be formed in the court.
It is the balance between Bo's relatives and Yi's relatives.
As for the successor as the Governor of the Anton Protectorate, Liu Che thought about it and decided that it would be best to appoint someone he could trust.
After many choices, Liu Che finally chose Song Zihou Xu Jiu.
So, Xu Jiuren was sitting at home. He never thought that a gift package would fall from the sky and hit him so dizzy that he almost didn't know what happened?
There is no way, the number of settlements that he, the prince of Song Dynasty, can't even compare with many feudal lords.
A mere five hundred households cannot even make waves in Chang'an City.
But the Anton Protectorate is a large and top-notch organization.
The governor of the Protectorate had a rank of two thousand stones, a silver seal with a purple ribbon, and in terms of status he was comparable to a prince, and in terms of power he was far ahead of the county governor, and his status might even be slightly higher than that of Jiuqing.
And the Anton Protectorate is now recognized as a hot spot and focus.
Under the jurisdiction of the Huyi Army, a top-notch field army, equipped with breastplates, Modao and other advanced equipment of the Han army.
Moreover, there are rich resources and various territories in the territory. People at that time called it: the Governor of the Protectorate. He was appointed by the emperor and paid the king's orders. He sat in one place and guarded the land on behalf of the heaven. He was a herdsman and he was like a prince and king!
With Xu Jiu's status, status and even qualifications, under normal circumstances, he would never have the chance to sit on the throne of the Governor of the Protectorate.
But since it was Liu Che who spoke, this was different.
It is the emperor's prerogative to directly promote a minister regardless of rules and status.
But Xu Jiu was trembling with fear when he heard the news.
He knew very well how hot the position of Governor of the Protectorate was.
Apart from other things, he has no foundation or status in the army or the court.
It was only because of the emperor's trust and favor that he was able to enter the court and participate in politics. He had always relied on cleverness and small tricks to achieve some success.
Being suddenly placed in the position of governor of the Anton Protectorate, not to mention others, even he himself was heartbroken!
Apart from other things, the Anton Protectorate was the most complicated area in the Han Empire.
Within its jurisdiction, there was King Liu Ming of Korea in the south. Although this king was only a feudal lord, he was actually a vassal king.
More importantly, behind him is Liang Wang Liu Wu and the Empress Dowager of the East Palace!
When Bo Shi was in Anton, Liu Ming naturally didn't dare to jump and couldn't do it.
There is also a Queen Mother behind Bo Shi, and she is deeply trusted by the Emperor. Even Liu Ming can only behave honestly.
And what about yourself?
Can you suppress that North Korean king?
What if something goes wrong?
What's more, in addition to the Korean king, there are also brothers Chen Xu and Chen Jiao in Anton, a pair of demon kings.
You don’t need to look at the glorious reputation of these two brothers in the past, but just look at what they have done in Anton over the years, you can know who these two brothers are?
In Anton, Chen Xu drove the people of Xianbei, Wuheng, Fuyu, and Dingling like pigs and dogs, and he was vaguely like a supreme emperor.
Chen Jiao is even more powerful. His whaling fleet is spread all over Yuanhai, with thousands of sailors, workers and hundreds of ships under his command.
The bones at his feet were even more incalculable.
In the past, when Bo Shi was here, these two guys could be hung up and beaten by his cousin with just one hand.
You have to admit your mistake after being beaten!
My eldest brother is my father, so I beat you for your own good!
But why should I discipline these two demon kings?
Whenever he thinks of this, Xu Jiu gets a headache.
