Liu Che looked at Dou Ying and put his hand on his forehead, feeling a little headache.
But there was no way to stop or stop Dou Ying from continuing to speak. He even had to keep smiling and indifferent when Dou Ying was speaking, and look like he was humbly accepting advice.
After all, this superficial appearance of ‘people’s cooking’, or the emperor’s appearance of governing from the top down, must still be maintained.
When Dou Ying saw this situation, instead of stopping, he was greatly encouraged. Some of his original ideological baggage was instantly thrown away in Java.
"In addition, there is Article 88. This order says: Anyone who can pay taxes at the age of ten and never die will be a common people..." Dou Ying said righteously: "I think this order is very serious.
It’s appropriate. On the day of Guixin City, the untouchables of the country are all the sons-in-law of criminal officials and the slaves and maids of prisoners. They will be untouchables forever. Is there any chance of turning over?”
If before, Dou Ying was excusable when he said about merchants, then now that Dou Ying stands up to oppose this law, he has stepped on Liu Che's sore foot.
Here, the first thing to explain is, what is Guixinchengdan?
The so-called ghost punishment is two ancient and cruel punishments in China.
Those who are ghosts are called ghosts, and those who are ghosts are white rice. Those who are in the city are in the city.
These two phrases are two special punishments for male and female criminals and their descendants respectively.
Generally speaking, criminals who are sentenced to these two types of punishments are serious offenders, such as treason, adultery, unfilial piety, disrespect, or the descendants of people who have created a very bad influence on society and touched the bottom line of social order and good morals.
(Criminals who commit these things will definitely have their whole family killed, but their children under ten years old and pregnant wives and concubines are exempted from death according to the law, but they will all be put into a separate book and will be "ghosts and white candies" for life.
Chong'), in addition, there are legal provisions for the son-in-law and the son-in-law's children. If they violate the law, they will be demoted as "Ghost Xin Baican" and "Chengdan Chong" criminals.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, what kind of words were the most vicious curses?
The answer is to call the other party a ‘ghost-salary slave’ and ‘Sikong Chengdan’ (the aunt calls her ‘Bai Chan’s cheap slave’ and ‘Chong’s slave’).
At that time, the Empress Dowager scolded Yuan Gusheng and his knowledge in the animal enclosure of Shanglin Garden as "the book of Sikong Chengdan".
The people who were sentenced or fixed as Guixinbaican or Chengdanchong were the lowest level of the entire Han social class.
Their status is no better than that of the untouchables in the third brother's family.
Even the status of slaves and slave children in the homes of local powerful and noble officials is higher than those of these two groups.
They have no human rights or legal rights. Even if they are killed, many local officials will not take care of them.
There is a stipulation in the Han law's warning law: Those who are under ten years old or above should not listen to the ghosts and white cans, and the people who are pounding the city are not allowed to listen.
Parallel with this article is the symbolic law of the feudal etiquette system and general ethics: when a son sues his parents, a woman sues her husband and father, a slave sues the master, and the master's parents and wife, do not listen and refuse to sue.
These two laws together constituted the notorious two laws in the old Han legal system.
If you don't listen, no one will dare to move, and no fool will dare to move.
But this article may have collapsed due to Liu Che's latest "Ping Lv".
Originally untouchables for life or even for generations, now, as long as they pay taxes and serve according to law for ten years, they can escape from untouchability and return to normal society.
Of course Dou Ying, who loves Confucianism, cannot accept this law at all!
In the eyes of many aristocrats, untouchables are untouchables. They are the descendants of hopeless felons and shameless, unrepentant lazy men.
It’s best if they all die!
Historically, building the Great Wall, digging imperial tombs, mining in the mountains, and catching turtles in the rivers were all done by these people.
How to kill them quickly, how to do it.
When it comes to Confucianism's position, it is even more straightforward.
Confucianism, which believes that the rules of etiquette and the order of heaven and earth will never change, will never accept it. Suddenly one day, Guixin Bai Can and Cheng Dan Chong suddenly ran up to him and asked him a favor.
Even just thinking about it makes me sick to death!
But Liu Che looked at Dou Ying, sighed deeply, shook his head, and said with great disappointment: "General, are you going to become a drunkard?"
Dou Ying and the other Confucian scholars present, especially Yan Yi's face, instantly became extremely wonderful.
Anyone who knows a little about history knows that the term "drunkard" has many stories that cannot be ignored in Confucianism.
The most famous one is of course the story of Li Shiqi and Liu Bang.
It is said that back then, Liu Bang led his army to pass through Chenliu. At that time, it was during the famous Liu Xiang Race. Liu Bang made an agreement with Xiang Yu: whoever enters Guanzhong first will be king.
Therefore, at that time, Chenliu became a fortified city that Liu Bang must capture.
However, at that time, Chen Liuling was in the hands of a die-hard official of the Qin Dynasty. Chen Liuling was extremely loyal to Xianyang and refused to surrender. However, the city of Chenliu had strong walls and many soldiers and food. At that time, Liu Bang could only look at the city and sigh.
At this time, Li Shiqi, who later became Liu Bang's adviser, took the initiative to come to the door.
At that time, Li Shiqi was wearing a Confucian robe and a Confucian crown, standing at the gate of the military camp, and said shamelessly, "I want to see Pei Gong and describe the world's major events."
The soldiers guarding the gate reported the situation to Liu Bang.
Liu Bang asked: "What kind of person is this?"
The soldiers then reported Li Shiqi's appearance and clothing.
As we all know, Liu Bang was extremely anti-Confucian and even hated Confucian scholars and their knowledge.
Therefore, as soon as he heard about the other party's attire, Liu Bang immediately said something that has made Confucian scholars and Confucian scholars feel extremely embarrassed in front of the world, and has even been ridiculed and joked by others: Thank you for me.
I am concerned about the world, and I have no flaws in meeting Confucian scholars.
In layman's terms, I have the world in mind and am determined to compete. If you want to talk, please find someone else and don't bother me!
Originally, if it had been anyone else, they would have walked away immediately after hearing this answer.
But Li Shiqi was a wonderful man. After hearing the soldier's reply, he immediately stared at the soldier with a murderous look, and said the sentence that has been spread all over the world and was used to laugh at Confucian scholars, especially those who were unsuccessful.
No, but he talks like a train runner: Go away and return to Yan Peigong. I am a Gaoyang drunkard and not a Confucian!
At the end of the story, after Liu Bang heard this answer, he immediately stepped on the snow, pushed open the tent door, and said: "Invite our guests!"
This was the first meeting between Li Shiqi and Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
For decades, it has been spread all over the world and has become an enduring legend and joke.
Confucian scholars and drunkards have become the opposite of each other since then.
As a result, many literati, officials, and nobles who are dissatisfied with Confucian scholars, when they see Confucian scholars posting or requesting to meet, will always reply naughtily: Are you a public drunkard? I only make friends with drunkards!
Basically, once this happens, the other party will immediately hide their face and walk away.
By the way, the current Tejin elder, Quzhouhou Liji, is Li Shiqi's nephew.
And Li Shiqi's final ending was very tragic. After he completed the task assigned to him by Liu Bang and deceived Queen Qi, he was cooked alive by King Tian Guang of Qi.
When the Han Dynasty was established, Liu Bang missed Li Shiqi. Even though Li Shiqi's son Li Gai had not made any achievements and even did many stupid things, he still worshiped him as Marquis of Gaoliang, and later changed his title to Marquis of Wu Sui.
So, when Liu Che said, "General, are you becoming a drunkard?" Li Ji lowered his head silently and squeezed out two tears.
But Dou Ying and the Confucian scholar were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a place to get in.
The other courtiers, with smiles on their faces, gathered around to watch.
The meaning of the emperor's words couldn't be more obvious.
I just want to tell Dou Ying: Don’t talk about Confucian patriarchal etiquette that is destined to be buried in the dustbin of history in front of me.
We, the old Liu family, have never listened to this, nor have we ever accepted it!
For me, instead of listening to the chatter of Confucian scholars, it is better to chat with drunkards...
This was the first time since Liu Che came to the throne that he openly expressed his disgust and impatience with Confucianism in public.
This made the Confucian officials very frightened.
Confucianism does not want to think that the rising momentum it has finally created will be the same as the current good momentum, because the emperor's attitude towards a certain issue or policy is bad, and the result will be a huge disaster.
You know, nowadays, hundreds of schools of thought are rising together, and they are vying for hegemony.
Huang Lao, Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, and even politicians and peasants are all competing for the right to speak in the world.
If you offend the emperor, suppress Confucianism in politics and policies, and let other schools of thought, especially the Mohist school, ride on Confucianism's head.
That is...the end!
Mo Zhai's disciples and grandsons, there is not a day that goes by that they don't want to sweep Confucianism into the dustbin of history and bury it in the grave.
Therefore, many Confucian scholars in the doctoral program were immediately discouraged and no longer had the courage to jump out and comment.
This is also related to the current situation.
If you change the era when Confucianism was in power, see if they dared to sneer at the emperor and spit on his face.
Because at that time, the emperor had only one choice: Confucian scholars.
It's a buyer's market.
Now, it's a seller's market.
There was no Butcher Zhang, but Butcher Li. If the emperor wanted to eat meat, there were plenty of people to help kill the pigs.
And Dou Ying was also shocked.
The Emperor, who was originally laughing and joking with a gentle face, suddenly became furious, which Dou Ying couldn't accept.
As an idealist and a scholar-bureaucrat who claimed to have mastered the truth and believed that he must be right, Dou Ying was certainly not convinced!
Just like him, in history, Liu Che's emperor father deposed Liu Rong, and after Tian Fu dug a hole and buried Guan Fu, Dou Ying felt very hurt.
When a young man is injured, his neck will stiffen and his head will be extremely strong. He will not look back until he hits the south wall, and he will not shed tears until he sees the coffin.
Dou Ying kowtowed and said, "Why is Your Majesty so humiliating? I ask myself, I have a public heart..." When his youthful temper broke out, he became fierce and courageous. It can be said that no one can stop him.
I saw him taking off his crown and hat, putting it aside, and bowing again: "If your Majesty cannot explain clearly, I am *******, and why Your Majesty is like this... Then I would rather resign and go home...
"
"Unbridled!" Dou Guangguo, Marquis of Zhangwu, who had been sitting in his seat with his eyes closed and concentrating, as if the old god was there, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and said: "Dou Ying, is this how a minister talks to his father?
?”
With the support of two attendants, Dou Guangguo walked to the palace, took off his hat and apologized, saying: "It is the fault of the father that the son does not teach. Although the general, Chen Ying, is not a minister, as the head of the Dou family, I am not strict in discipline.
He actually made the general, Chen Ying, roar in the hall, threatening the king's father, and asked your majesty to punish the crime of the minister!"
At this time, Dou Ying finally woke up from the tangled emotions of his literary youth.
Historically, only ministers have given an explanation to the emperor. When will a minister allow the emperor to give him an explanation?
When he was awake, Dou Ying was extremely happy. Fortunately, he still had an elder present.
If at that time, my uncle would have reacted a little slower and let the Tingwei or the Yushi doctor or the middle doctor speak.
Then he will shed his skin even if he doesn't die.
Blackmail the emperor into resigning?
A little more than a little above the line is enough to be charged with the crime of murdering the whole family!
When Dou Ying thought of this, he broke into a cold sweat all over his body. He immediately kowtowed and said: "Death penalty, death penalty!"
At this time, Liu Che stood up, walked down the imperial steps, and came to the palace. He first helped Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo and said: "Zhang Wuhou, please get up quickly. I don't think you should be like this..."
Liu Chexun glanced at Dou Ying. To be honest, Liu Che was already very familiar with Dou Ying's personality in his previous life.
There is no doubt that Dou Ying is a loyal minister, a gentleman, and a good person.
Be loyal, trustworthy, and keep your promise.
However, he is a little confused, a little naive, and a little idealistic.
When Liu Che was the prince, these were all advantages.
But when Liu Che became emperor, some of his shortcomings became apparent.
Just like Yuan Ang.
As the prince, Liu Che, who is not in his position or seeking political affairs, naturally cannot and will not control the affairs between these two people and his friends and brothers. As long as they can support Liu Che as the prince, it will be fine.
But it's different when you become the emperor.
The whole world belongs to me!
You actually indulge your relatives and friends, undermine the country, and block my will?
Then, I'm sorry, I have to let you bow and step down.
This is still thinking about the past friendship...
Therefore, it is no wonder that people all over the world comment on the old Liu family as being mean, unkind, and unsympathetic.
In fact, as an emperor, a responsible emperor must be ruthless!
Of course, Dou Ying is not serious enough yet to bow down and step down.
"As for the general..." Liu Che supported Dou Guangguo and handed him over to the two servants who rushed to greet him. He asked them to support the old minister. He turned back to Dou Ying and said: "Although you are a little willful, you are still
I am loyal. I am neither Qin Shihuang nor Jie Zhou. I have not reached the point where I cannot listen to unfavorable advice and rebuke directly..."
While talking, Liu Che walked back to the imperial steps, climbed up the steps step by step, and then looked at the ministers.
When Dou Ying heard this, he immediately kowtowed: "I don't dare, please punish me..."
How could Dou Ying, who had woken up, not hear the hidden meaning behind Liu Che's words?
Liu Che walked back to the throne, faced the ministers, and said: "As for the general who wants me to explain, then I will explain it to the general!"
Liu Che's fingers ticked and then rested on the group of officials behind Zhou Yafu: "Prime Minister Hui Shi Wen Jin, please come and tell the general how many registered 'ghost salary white can' Chengdan are there in the world."
Chung'..."
This literary prohibition can be regarded as a new upstart that rose to prominence due to Yuan Ang's success last time.
Now he is a serious courtier and Prime Minister Hui Shi, who is equivalent to the first assistant of the Han Dynasty.
Although the rank ratio is not high, it is only more than 600 stones, but the power is very great. He can counsel military aircraft, assist the prime minister in writing history, organize the county reports and military intelligence, and can also sit in on court meetings.
When Wen Jin heard the roll call, although he felt a little numb, he still had the courage to go out and pay homage: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Hui Shijin, I would like to report that as far as I know, since the Yuande Dynasty, local prefectures and minor mansions,
The county officials of Da Nong reported to the court that there are currently more than 7,000 registered ghosts, more than 9,000 Baican, more than 138,000 Chengdan, and more than 45,000 maidservants, a total of 20
There are more than 10,000 odd people, and their children under ten years old and their husband-in-law are not yet listed among them!"
Liu Che stood up, looked at Dou Ying, and asked: "More than 210,000!" Then, he raised his voice and said again: "More than 210,000!"
"The story of Daze Township is not far away..." Liu Che said: "General, do you think this is still a small problem?"
When Dou Ying was asked this question by Liu Che, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
How did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rise up?
The answer is that they were sent to guard the border, but they failed to do so. Failure to do so is a capital crime. There is no other way but to rebel!
But no one could have imagined that eight hundred criminals would rise up and expose the truth about the paper tiger of the Qin Dynasty to the world. Then, heroes would rise up and compete with each other. (To be continued.)
ps: I haven’t read much of the book review section recently because of my poor health. I read it today and the discussion was really lively. I was really touched~
I will increase the concentration tomorrow, and then when I have time next month, I will also do the watering. I will send a notice in advance then. Well, if you have any questions or suggestions, I will read them online and reply one by one~! Mobile users please visit http
