The next morning, as soon as Liu Che got up, he received a report from the Neishi Yamen: Xu Guan could not survive the punishment and died.⊥,
Liu Che nodded, this result is very good.
The punishments of the Han Dynasty were as harsh as those of the Qin Dynasty.
Especially after Tiying saved her father, the number of prisoners who died despite being tortured increased every year.
Well, after Tiying saved her father, the court abolished corporal punishment, but replaced it with flogging.
The so-called corporal punishment means cutting off certain parts of your body, such as the famous palace punishment.
Such a punishment will make you disabled, but it will not kill you.
But whipping…
At present, the starting price of government torture is fifty...
What is even more troublesome is that in Chinese history, it was not until Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty promulgated the "Kaihuang Code" that it was clearly stipulated that whipping for more than fifty years was considered torture to extract a confession.
In other words, before Yang Jian, the local government could whip prisoners however they wanted.
When someone is beaten to death, it is settled by saying, "The suspect cannot bear the punishment."
Liu Che would like to learn from Yang Jian, but the current situation does not allow it.
Because the state is a tool of the ruling class, and law and punishment are tools of the state.
Wanting to change the law and limit penalties is almost equivalent to upgrading and patching the country.
Before future generations of computer operating systems are patched, software companies will have to hold meetings to study and make changes based on the situation.
Not to mention such a big country and such a complicated legal system?
If it is not operated properly and there is a bug in the legal system, wouldn't it mean that it will crash?
The computer crashes. You can restart it, or reinstall the system at worst. But if the country’s legal system crashes...
For such professional matters, Liu Che has left this topic to the "Tejin elders" for discussion. This can be regarded as an opportunity for these elder statesmen to use their remaining energy.
Xu Guan died of "not being able to bear the punishment", which was extremely normal in this era.
No one will pursue it, let alone explore its secrets.
However, along with the news of Xu Guan's death, Liu Che's case was also preceded by Xu Guan's confession and the investigation conclusion of the Nei Shi Yamen.
After Liu Che read it, he directly threw the files and conclusions into the fire plate and burned them.
The flames destroyed all last evidence related to this.
But Liu Che felt a little uncomfortable.
These burned confessions and evidence proved Liu Che's suspicions.
Xu Guan's ability to sneak into the Han Dynasty's bureaucracy was indeed allowed by the late emperor...
As for the method…
The late emperor was most lustful in his life.
Of course, beauty is the best way to deal with perverts.
This Xu Guan just sent a hundred gold to Guantao first, and then, under Guantao's recommendation, presented a beauty to the late emperor who was still the prince at that time.
Take people's money and eliminate disasters with them. If you sleep with someone's girl, you have to help them solve their problems.
What's more, what this person wants is just an honorary 'celebrity' certified by the Shaofu.
Such things happened endlessly in the Han Dynasty. It was not surprising.
Even now, doesn't the bureaucracy have a way to become an official?
Spending money to buy an official position and sending beautiful women to buy an official position are essentially the same.
However, this Xu Guan took advantage of this loophole and successfully sneaked into the Shaofu Supervisor Prince to spread the word. Who dares to complain and risk his life to check that person's background?
I'm afraid that the Shaofu, Nei Shi and Da Honglu at that time were just going through the motions.
Even later, when they were selecting teachers for Prince Minyue, the officials from the Shaofu and Dahonglu might have just looked at the seals of Uncle Beigong and Zhou Ren signed by Xu Guan in the file, and immediately let him go.
.
only……
Liu Che shook his head, I'm afraid no one had thought of it.
The origin of Xu Guan...he is from Fujian and Yue! Liu Che sighed in his heart.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, Liu Che felt relieved.
From beginning to end, Xu Guan sought the position of teacher to the Crown Prince of Minyue.
And to the bureaucrats, what is Minyue?
I'm afraid many people don't even know where the Minyue Kingdom is.
Everyone's eyes and attention are focused on South Vietnam and the Huns.
No one would be too lazy to care about the Minyue Kingdom in the corner, nor would they care about the plans of this "small country of Zuo'er".
I am afraid that even if the Shaofu and the Neishi Yamen discovered something wrong and strange about Xu Guan during their past inspections, they would not take it to heart.
The people of Fujian and Yue do whatever they like, but the imperial court is too lazy to take care of them!
What's more, this person is vaguely related to the prince, the emperor, and the late emperor.
Is it unreasonable to trouble the Weiyang Palace over an insignificant issue of a small country's proton, and let the prince and the emperor worry about it?
Expecting the bureaucracy to be 'brave' in shouldering its responsibilities and 'fulfilling its duties' is a huge joke in itself.
Liu Che sighed.
However, the exposure of this matter made Liu Che know that the problem of Minyue Kingdom had reached a time that must be resolved.
They dared to let their people lurk in Chang'an, spend a huge price, and take extraordinary risks, just to prevent their heirs from being brainwashed by the Han Dynasty.
This shows that the political power that the Han Dynasty personally supported has been prepared to devour its master when necessary.
The courage and appetite of the Fujian and Yue people are growing day by day.
If Liu Che remembers correctly.
In the previous life, the first person among the Mitsukoshi to provoke Chang'an was Minyue, and the first person to attempt to put the theory of unifying the Mitsukoshi into practice was also Minyue.
In the third year of Jianyuan, Minyue sent troops eastward to attack Dongou Kingdom.
The people of Dongou couldn't resist, so they immediately launched a big move and shouted: "Daddy of the Han Dynasty, save me."
Xiaozhu's confidant Zhuang helped lead the troops from Kuaiji County and went to rescue him.
Facing the Han army, the Minyue people wisely chose to retreat. However, the Dongou people were frightened by the Minyue people, so they requested annexation and moved the whole country to Huaisi.
Fujian and Yue all merged with the territory of Dongou, and thus embarked on the road of expansion.
Just three years later, in the sixth year of Jianyuan, the Minyue Kingdom turned its attention to the last obstacle on their road to unification, the South Yue Kingdom.
At that time, the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo had died, and the person who came to the throne was a die-hard pro-Han faction and a Han-worshiping faction. He was also Liu Che's younger brother Zhao Hu.
Speaking of Zhao Hu, this guy returned to China more than two years ago and wrote more than a dozen letters of loyalty to Liu Che.
It can be seen that this guy has been washed from head to toe by the Confucians of the Han Dynasty.
Such a person became the king of South Vietnam. The attempt of the Minyue people was naturally thwarted without a doubt.
Because Minyue had just sent troops to attack South Vietnam, Zhao Hu immediately ordered the army to shrink and not resist, waiting for the decision of the Emperor of Chang'an.
When the little pig saw such a well-behaved vassal king, he was naturally delighted.
With Da Nong Han Anguo as the left general and Da Xing Wang Hui as the right general, they led the troops to save South Vietnam.
Before the Han army arrived, the Minyue people themselves shrank and started fighting among themselves.
As the person in charge, the then Minyue King Ying was killed by his younger brother Yu Shan.
Thinking about these things in his past life, Liu Che suddenly discovered that the Minyue King Ying who was killed by his brother's "righteousness to destroy relatives" and the prince Ying who is now in Chang'an seemed to be the same person...
In his previous life, Liu Che was still very strange.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty learned the lessons of the Warring States Period. After the protons of various countries returned to their country and took the throne, they immediately turned against each other and violently attacked the countries they had stayed with.
Typical examples are Duke Wen of Jin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin and Qin Shihuang.
Therefore, they vigorously researched brainwashing strategies and achieved great success.
As long as foreign vassal protons come to Chang'an, they will definitely become pro-Han faction after returning to China, and they will be the kind of stubborn pro-Han faction. Just like the intellectuals who studied in Omi and later generations, everything will be Han.
The best from the North, the country is rubbish.
Even in the end, they actively requested to include it.
For example, the royal family of Nanyue and the royal family of Dongou were both the royal families who rebelled first and wanted to annex.
But the tone has changed here in Minyue.
Successive generations of kings were all careerists who worked hard to govern and wanted to unify Baiyue and even enter China.
Not to mention internal attachment, among the upper-class nobles in the country, the strength of the pro-Han faction is even minimal.
For example, in the previous life, after the death of Ying, the Minyue King Chou (King Yao) established by Xiaozhu had a great reputation and the support of the Han army, but he was still marginalized by his uncle Yu Shan. In the end, the affairs of the Minyue Kingdom
, all in the hands of Yu Shan.
In his previous life, Liu Che didn't understand why, but now, he finally understands.
Emotions and the brainwashing education of the Han Dynasty have never played a role.
The Minyue people have always educated their heirs themselves.
The longer such a proton stays in Chang'an, the bigger his heart will become.
Just like those protons from other countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after returning home, they immediately had to work hard and make progress.
Because if you don't do this, then the country's social foundation will inevitably perish.
Just like in the 1980s in the later Chinese dynasty, some people went abroad and saw the developed industrial facilities and modern military of Omi. When they returned home, they worked hard to promote the country's modernization and technological development.
But there are still some people who went abroad and saw the colorful world and powerful national power abroad, and immediately collapsed and surrendered. From then on, they regarded Europe and America as their masters, always praised Europe and America, and regarded everything in their own country as chaff.
Ultimately, it's a matter of looking at the problem from a different perspective.
Liu Che let out a long breath.
"No wonder the public intellectual didn't raise him, but he raised a 'patriot'..." Liu Che sneered.
The so-called enemy is my enemy.
Different butts certainly have different evaluations of people.
But, it doesn't matter.
Judging from the memory of his previous life, Xu Guan's education was a failure.
He only gave Ying the idea of being self-reliant and self-reliant, but did not teach him how to be self-reliant and self-reliant.
In the end, the Minyue Kingdom went further and further on the road of seeking death.
Nowadays, the time Xu Guan has to educate Ying is only five years at most.
Everything has not been finalized yet, and there is still time to brainwash.
It’s just that conventional brainwashing methods cannot be used. Confucianism cannot be used to brainwash people like those in South Vietnam, Dongou and Yiren.
Only special methods can be used.
Destroy his worldview and values.
Liu Che then asked: "How old is the Prince of Minyue this year?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Minyue was sent to Chang'an when he was eight years old this year. He should be about thirteen years old this year..." Wang Dao replied.
Liu Che nodded, the Han Dynasty still had very strict control over the princes of foreign vassals.
Take the King of Nanyue as an example.
Starting from Zhao Hu, all the kings of Nanyue were sent to Chang'an when they were about four or five years old, and then underwent strict education and brainwashing. They would not be sent back home until their father died.
These protons are in Chang'an and enjoy the treatment of state guests.
Live in the best house and sleep with the best beauties.
At the same time, the emperor or prince would personally take them by his side, teaching and showing kindness day and night.
For example, Zhao Yingqi, the father of Zhao Xing, the last king of Nanyue Kingdom, who later decided to annex, Xiaozhu once made him responsible for the work of the Suwei and served as the emperor's Suwei military attaché.
Under the power of the system and inertia, coupled with brainwashing education, Zhao Yingqi developed the habit of obeying Chang'an. When he heard the three words of the emperor's edict, he would immediately kneel down as a conditioned reflex. The queen that Zhao Yingqi took, even the
The Han woman arranged for him by Chang'an.
If Zhao Yingqi hadn't been a cruel person, loved killing people, and was afraid that Nei Fu would be investigated by Ting Wei for his murder, I'm afraid it wouldn't be his son's turn to make Nei Fu's decision.
After Zhao Xing came to the throne, the Sinicization and internal attachment of the entire South Vietnam Kingdom were inevitable.
Although a group of local nobles led by Prime Minister Lu Jia stubbornly resisted the historical trend.
However, many nobles in the country, including the royal family, have already made psychological preparations to "make a pot of food and drink to welcome the king's master."
When Lu Jia rebelled and the Han army launched a crusade, before the army had passed Yuzhang, the border generals of the South Vietnam Kingdom "brought order to order" and "returned to the Yiyi court".
Of course, these are the benefits that only South Vietnamese protons can enjoy.
In Minyue and Dongou, the Han Dynasty did not pay so much attention to it.
Like Proton Ying, if Liu Che hadn't suddenly had an idea and thought of meeting him, the entire court would have forgotten about this person.
After all, inherent cognition makes many people believe that as long as South Vietnam surrenders among the Three Vietnams, the vassal states established by Emperor Gao and Empress Lu such as Minyue and Dongou will not be able to surrender without a fight even with an edict.
?
Liu Chang sent a general to destroy the Nanhai Kingdom, which further intensified people's concept.
But fortunately, it's still not too late.
Liu Che asked: "Didn't I order Da Honglu to bring the Crown Prince of Minyue to me? Where is he now?"
Wang Dao replied: "Reporting to your majesty, there is no news from Dahonglu. How about I send you a reminder?"
Liu Che thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll wait a little longer..."
Liu Che held his hands, turned around, and ordered: "Instruct the internal history, today I will inspect Sixian Garden with the Crown Prince of Minyue. At the same time, I will also go to Xiliu, inspect Xiliu Camp, and finally inspect the track carriage!"
Ying, the Crown Prince of Minyue, had received five years of education under Xu Guan.
Although he is only thirteen years old, his three views have not yet been fully established.
But it still takes some effort to eliminate it.
Even if the prince was smarter, more cunning, and had better acting skills, the subsequent brainwashing by the Han Dynasty might have the opposite effect.
After all, teenagers at this age have entered adolescence and are beginning to awaken their rebellious psychology.
If you want to turn him into a pro-Han faction, then Liu Che needs to completely destroy all his cognitions and completely defeat all his luck.
Let him always remember the power of the Han Dynasty and the majesty of the Shang Kingdom even after he returns to China.
What better way to submit than to flex your muscles?
When two countries confront each other, the one who is timid before fighting will definitely not win.
Especially in the feudal era, as long as you surrender and frighten the enemy's high-level officials, making them cowardly and fearful, then you will be like the Qin State, you can get whatever you want. (To be continued...)
