Seven hundred and sixtieth chapters hit a handful (2)
After listening to Liu Che's words, the ministers all knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Your Majesty, this is all the fault of the ministers and has nothing to do with your Majesty!"
Prime Minister Zhou Yafu even took off his hat and apologized, saying: "I was entrusted by the late emperor and Taizong, but I cannot help your majesty, and I cannot bring peace to the country. This is all my fault!"
Chao Cuo, the imperial censor, and the ministers Jiuqing also took off their hats and apologized: "My incompetence has brought shame to the emperor and my father. This is all my fault!"
Are you kidding me?!
Suppose the emperor really hid in the main palace in plain clothes, fasted and bathed, and confessed his sins to God, ancestors and gods.
So, as ministers, isn’t this sin deeper than the sea, higher than the mountains, and thicker than the earth?
Since ancient times, the Lord has humiliated his subjects and died.
Once things get to that point, only one of the three nobles and nine ministers will choose to commit suicide to thank the world.
The reason is very simple. The three princes and nine ministers are important ministers of the country. They serve the emperor at the top and protect the common people at the bottom. They are valued by the famous weapons of the country.
You actually let the emperor make a mistake. Do you need to reflect on yourself?
How did you become such a minister?
Only death can slightly alleviate their guilt.
And through this method, Liu Che easily kidnapped Sangong and Jiuqing and their group.
They had to make a choice between keeping the emperor correct and Jinan being innocent.
This method is really stupid.
But it works.
Because, in this way, Liu Che can guarantee that no matter what, the matter will not escalate, let alone evolve into party disputes or even political turmoil!
Of course, if you want to perform this play, you must perform the whole set.
Liu Che showed a sad expression and said, "Do you think you are me?"
He lowered his head, as if he was reflecting on himself: "If it weren't for my weak virtue and incompetence, I wouldn't be able to supervise Jinan, make it do good deeds, educate the people, and avoid today's disaster?"
"Aren't the people of Zhangqiu a righteous people?"
"Those who were under heavy pressure from Jinan and violently expropriated, yet they still thought of the commonwealth of the world and sent envoys to the north to appeal to me. The envoys walked barefoot, begging all the way to Luoyang, and sued the world with their blood!"
"Jinan can still make such righteous people rebel"
"If I don't reflect again, I am worried that the disaster caused by Chen She and Wu Guang is not far away!"
Liu Che decisively occupied the commanding heights of morality and universal values, with full firepower.
Although on the surface they were introspecting and asking themselves, in fact, every word was forcing the ministers to convict Jinan King Liu Biguang, and it was a capital crime!
The people's riot in Zhangqiu is of course an unacceptable crime for the ruling class!
The common people actually refused to stay at home and starve to death from exhaustion. Instead, they came out to make trouble and cause trouble to the gentlemen!?
It’s simply the opposite!
However, the ruling class, especially the ruling class of the Han Dynasty, is more afraid of the story of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang happening again.
If you think about it, today's aristocrats and bureaucrats are basically people who were born with a golden key and were born rich.
Of course they hope that their wealth can be passed on to their children and grandchildren forever.
The story of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang tells them that once the peasant uprising spreads, there will be wars everywhere.
Yesterday's kings will become today's demons, and the high-ranking princes and ministers in the past will become indispensable people who want to survive today.
At that time, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, completely destroying and wiping out the old aristocrats of all the countries in the world.
Except for Zhang Liang and a few others, the emperors, generals and ministers who established the Han Dynasty were of old aristocratic descent, while the others were all traffickers and lackeys and dog-butchers.
Those Ying family and Ji family, who claimed to have noble status and noble blood, were all crushed by the wheel of history and were not even left with any scraps left.
How many of the royal families of Qin, Chu, Qi, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Han are still alive?
That's why the nobles, ministers and officials reacted so violently to the Zhangqiu issue.
This is not just because of the resistance of the people, which arouses their hatred of the enemy and their sad mentality.
More people do it because of fear and fear.
In the West, revolution is contagious, but in China, uprisings and resistance are even more terrifying contagious diseases.
Since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, no matter how powerful the dynasty seems on the surface, once it starts an uprising, it will come to an end in the continuous peasant uprisings.
As a political power that conquered the world through rebel armies, the Liu family has been well aware of the power and power of peasant uprisings throughout the ages.
Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Liu.
If the princes and nobles rebel, just deploy troops to suppress it, because this is only a temporary trouble.
If it is extinguished, there will be no problem.
But once the farmers start to resist, it means that there is a big problem with the national policy and the national economy!
Why did Emperor Wu in history issue edicts to sin against himself?
In addition to the decline in people's livelihood, the biggest reason was that he saw signs of the peasant uprising becoming more and more intense.
In order to put an end to the peasant uprising, he had to issue an edict to win over people's hearts and minds.
Although what happened in Zhangqiu was not an uprising, it was just a riot.
The rioting people raised banners only to oppose the King of Hun, not the Emperor.
But Liu Che still attached great importance to it, even to the point of being more important than the Xiongnu.
Liu Che knew very well that Chinese people would never lie.
Since they rose up and resisted with force, it can only mean one problem: there is something wrong with the policies of the emperor or the ruling class.
All the emperors who could not face these signals, in the end, they and their dynasty went to hell together.
The Qin Dynasty was like this, the Han Dynasty was like this, the Sui Dynasty was like this, and the Tang and Ming Dynasties were like this!
The Chinese people are the most knowledgeable people on earth who know how to vote with their feet.
They are not as good-tempered as the serfs and workers in the West. It is clear that they cannot survive. They still have to work and farm for the nobles and pray to the three giants of the Gay Friends every day.
That is impossible!
If the emperor and the ruling class make it difficult for the people to live, the people will definitely make it difficult for them to live too!
The people of Zhangqiu proved this with practical actions.
At the same time, they also sent a clear signal: Emperor, there is something wrong with your policy.
Any smart emperor will definitely face this problem squarely.
And some kind of response will be made to appease the people.
"It is your Majesty's fault that Jinan has no way." Liu She, the Shaofu Ling, was the first to stand up and cheer for his master: "I heard that when Wu Ni rebelled, Jinan was already ready to move. Fortunately, the late emperor was wise and
The general took back his military power, so that the traitor's scheme could not succeed! Jinan has been ruthlessly tyrannical for a long time, and I believe it is not your Majesty's fault."
Zongzheng Liu Li also said: "Your Majesty has performed great martial arts and brought great benefits to the world. I heard that even the people of Zhangqiu regard your Majesty as the Holy Son of Heaven. They kowtow to the north and accuse your Majesty, and then they dare to raise troops. This is
This is proof that Your Majesty’s virtue is greater than that of heaven and earth!”
Taichang Dou Pengzu also paid homage: "I also heard that the people of Zhangqiu burned incense and prayed to heaven and earth before revolting, saying: I am waiting for the loyal ministers of this emperor, but the king is unruly and violently rapes my family, making it impossible for me to make a living.
Risking death to offend Tianyan is a capital crime." (To be continued.)
