The news that the Gu family in Jiangdong was executed by everyone seemed to have grown wings and spread to Guanzhong in a few days.
Chang'an is shocked!
Everyone was surprised!
This is a hairpin family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is richest in Jiangdong and famous in Jiangnan. Outstanding talents have entered the officialdom in the past dynasties. The rows of tokens in Gu's ancestral temple contain many outstanding civil servants and military generals.
, Shilin famous place?
Just like this, a prosperous family was wiped out overnight, and the male members of the direct line were slaughtered...
How could he, Fang Jun, dare to do this?
Who gave him the courage!
Chang'an is turbulent and undercurrents are turbulent. In this matter, the family members hardly need to contact and communicate in private. Their goals are the same. As the initiator of this matter, Fang Jun must be punished, not only punished, but also
Severe punishment is required! This will serve as a warning to future generations, shock peers, and completely prevent such things from happening!
But before the family members could take action, another piece of news came back from Jiangnan.
The Gu family hid the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty and conspired to launch a rebellion. The witnesses and physical evidence are conclusive!
The body of Yang Hao, the eldest son of the former Sui and Han king Yang Liang, is already on the way back to Chang'an...
The family member seemed to have raised the stick high to teach the little beast in front of him, but suddenly the little beast turned into a stone. When the stick was struck, the stone would not hurt, but it might hurt his hand.
…
Conspiracy and rebellion, this is already an ironclad case. The Gu family is more than innocent. Logically speaking, the family should be stopped. There is no possibility of forgiveness in all dynasties for major rebellions. The only difference is whether to annihilate the "three clans" or to punish them.
The "Nine Tribes" were all dead in short. Fang Jun was just a bit harsher when the Gu family resisted. As a result, the entire Gu family was escorted to Chang'an for trial and the men could only get two slaps.
But the family members still couldn't bear it.
The genocide of the Gu family is a foregone conclusion. It is impossible to overturn the Rushan iron case, and no one will reverse the case for the Gu family. What they care about is Fang Jun's wanton methods! The Gu family must die, but they died under the imperial court's execution.
Being killed by Fang Jun is not the same concept at all!
If someone holds the military power in the future, will he be able to kill the family first and then punish them if they commit serious crimes?
This is a situation that the family will never allow!
In fact, what they don't know is that Fang Jun himself is also very depressed!
If he had known that the Gu family was hiding a remnant of the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Hao, he would have been so full that he would first attack the Gu family and then rely on "framing the blame" to ensure his legitimacy?
Life is full of surprises, and if you are not careful, you may end up being self-defeating...
*****
There seems to be a dark cloud hanging over Tai Chi Hall.
His Majesty Li Er sat on the throne, glanced at Dugu Wudu, who was speaking righteously and sternly, and subconsciously rubbed his temples, feeling a little nauseous...
Looking at today's situation, I'm afraid we can't let it go and there will be another quarrel.
When he thinks of Fang Jun, the troublemaker, His Majesty Li Er loves and hates him at the same time!
This guy has endless ways to make money, and all of them are unconstrained but effective. In the past two years, not only has the national treasury become increasingly abundant, but the emperor's internal funds have also increased greatly, adding endless resources to His Majesty Li Er's grand plan of conquering Goguryeo.
confidence.
How could an emperor not love such a minister?
But when it comes to hatred, His Majesty Li Er really wants to hang up this mallet and give him a hundred lashes...
It's okay to be arrogant and domineering in normal times. After all, he is now the general manager and has countless soldiers and civilians under his command. His Majesty Li Er can't bring him over all day long to reprimand him. Therefore, despite the constant impeachments in the court, His Majesty Li Er mostly pretends to be deaf. Dumb, ignore it.
But this time things really went too far!
Everyone in the Gu family deserves to die, not just the eldest member of the direct branch, but also the distant branch members who are not involved in the core of the Gu family? The emperor can tolerate the corruption of ministers, and can tolerate ministers doing wrong things, but it is absolutely impossible to tolerate rebels !
What's more, the Gu family has hidden the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty in their home for twenty years?
The case has been handed over to the Tribunal for Trial, and there is no doubt about the outcome. However, after going through this process, all the "three clans" of the Gu family will be escorted to Beijing to be executed!
Notice the word – program!
Yes, His Majesty Li Er is now more and more aware of the importance of procedures. The emperor is the lord of the world, and his words are the imperial edict. No one can refute it and must implement it! This is the embodiment of the emperor's power, but it is also the turmoil of the world. The root of...
No matter how wise the emperor is, he is still a human being.
As long as we are human, we can make mistakes.
It is definitely not a good thing if everything is decided by the emperor at the drop of a hat. He, Li Shimin, will always make mistakes. Will his son be able to match him in the future? What about his grandson?
The country of the Tang Dynasty must be passed down from generation to generation, and the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasty must last forever!
Then, changes must begin with him, Li Shimin.
In fact, Fang Jun mentioned this to His Majesty Li Er when he was free. At that time, His Majesty Li Er was very angry and thought that Fang Jun had offended the emperor's majesty and wanted to beat him. As a result, Fang Jun just said a word and let him His Majesty Li Er tossed and turned and did not think about food or food for many days.
"Absolute rights will only lead to absolute corruption!"
It is said that the original meaning of this sentence is actually directed at the supreme monarchy. It is a satire that while the monarchy has absolute power, it also goes further and further on the road of absolute corruption, until the mountains and rivers are exhausted and the country collapses...
But His Majesty Li Er was not angry.
He is reflecting.
The meaning of this sentence is easy to understand, and it is naturally impossible for His Majesty Li Er not to understand it. But understanding it does not mean that you can understand it, and even if you think about it, it does not mean that you can do it...
Why risk your wealth and life to become emperor?
Isn’t it just for this word Jiuding to control the absolute imperial power in the world?
Then Fang Jun said again.
"Do you want the Li Tang royal family to control this absolute power for as long as it takes? Or do you want to create an unprecedented cause and allow the Tang Dynasty to continue forever?"
His Majesty Li Er naturally understood the meaning of Fang Jun's words. He asked back at that time: "Who can guarantee that if I do that, I can really make the Tang Dynasty continue forever?"
Fang Jun's answer was: "No one can guarantee it, but I can guarantee that if I don't do that, the Tang Dynasty will fall apart sooner or later. Maybe it will be the third life, maybe it will be the fifth life, but that day will come sooner or later..."
In front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you said that the Tang Dynasty would end sooner or later. Anyone else would have been hacked to death by the emperor. Even his own son-in-law, His Majesty Li Er was furious and kicked him hard...
After the kick, His Majesty Li Er had to think quietly.
The sword has two edges, which can hurt others as well as yourself.
There are two sides to the world. There are dangers of disaster and blessings.
If the power of the monarch could really be restricted so that the power of the monarch was no longer so high and unstoppable, wouldn't there be those ambitious people who are thinking about plotting to usurp the throne? Wouldn't it be possible to minimize mistakes when handling state affairs?
?
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were a little scattered and his thoughts were a little wandering...
As a result, Duguwu stopped working. He stood in the palace and was talking a lot. He found that the emperor was a little distracted, so he said loudly: "Your Majesty, every word of the old minister's words is a strategy for the country. I hope that your Majesty will
Ming Jian, take that Fang Jun to the capital and show his head to the public!"
It was quiet in the main hall, except for the lingering sound of the sentence "show your head to the public"...
His Majesty Li Er's heart skipped a beat, why did he have to "show his head to the public"?
He asked subconsciously: "What did you just say?"
As soon as the words were spoken, they felt inappropriate.
The hall became quieter and quieter. The old face of Dugu Wudu standing there was shocked at first, and then turned red at a very fast speed, as red as a piece of red cloth... It was an expression of extreme embarrassment!
I kept talking about my feelings for a long time, but the emperor didn't listen to a word?
And asked me what I just said?
This is so fucking embarrassing...
Dugu Wudu's face flushed red, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty protects Fang Jun, and I can understand it. But this man acts unscrupulously and is ruthless. Where does he put the laws and regulations of the country? I think,
Not killing is not enough to uphold the laws of the country, not killing is not enough to enforce discipline!"
