Chapter 649: Sir, the times have changed

Since ancient times, this land has been a society of human relationships. No matter which class of society, the exchanges between human relationships and etiquette are inevitable and necessary things.
The exchange of human relationships naturally forms a complex array of interests.
And this complex relationship and etiquette rules have created the core of this civilization...that is, etiquette!
It is precisely because of the existence of etiquette that the centripetal force of this nation has been achieved.
The most fundamental reason for the debate between China and the barbarians is ritual.
But everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
The human relationship system of reciprocity and exchanges form a complex array of interests that fills every part of this society.
The officialdom has been an unquestionable severely affected area since ancient times.
Just like the Quanzhou tax case, just following the clues, it almost involved the entire sea and several provinces, and it was obviously the connection between interests.
Wu Xun's counterattack, and the uncovering of local farm taxes, can obviously also easily follow the clues.
All the bad habits left in the Ming Dynasty in the previous and Ming dynasties are still deeply rooted in Daheng.
Such as the so-called relationship between teachers and students in the imperial examination, the so-called cliques and towns, the interest relationship of changing etiquette, etc.
Everything can be followed by the clues.
Under the strict order of the emperor, the Three Laws could only grit their teeth and supervise it. If this was the case, it would naturally be impossible for officials to protect each other.
But with Wu Xun staring at him, it would undoubtedly be very uncomfortable.
The military transformation into civil servants, and even the Civil Affairs Academy brought about a considerable number of fake civil servants from various departments in the central government.
It is not difficult to deceive superiors and subordinates in many things, but it is not easy to hide from colleagues and still keep a close eye on your colleagues.
check!
A thorough investigation!
Just like the smuggling case supervised by the Three Laws in the sea, it keeps following the clues and implicates deeper corruption.
This is also true of the case of agricultural tax. I followed the clues again and again, and from bottom to top, a series of land tax cases were involved!
In just a few months, I went from a small official in the ninth rank to a senior rank governor in the third rank…
Such corruption spread to the center like snowflakes. Faced with this, the emperor was obviously completely furious by the filth that was brought out.
Business is just the foundation for adding icing on the cake and making the country stronger. No matter how bad business is, it cannot shake the foundation of the country.
No matter how corrupt business is, it is just a little less commercial tax. The prosperity of the overall environment can still add icing to Daheng.
Just like the smuggling on the seaside, although there is less tariff, commercial behavior will still promote economic prosperity and drive the development of surrounding areas.
As long as strict supervision is maintained and erosion is controlled within a certain range.
But farmers are obviously different. Any slight decay about farmers, even if it is just a mu of land, may be related to the lives of the people one by one.
What kind of scene would be like to prevent the people from living? Throughout the dynasties, it has been clearly stated.
If there is oppression, there will inevitably be resistance!
This is shaking Daheng's foundation and the national destiny will inevitably not tolerate it!
The court talks were filled with thunder and furious, adding another fire to the already boiling situation!
The storm that lasted for more than half a year, after arriving in the second half of the sixth year of Zhaowu, was so full of energy that the emperor was furious.
Officials and generals have been dismissed one after another. The case files reviewed by the Three Justice Department in just a few months are more than several times more than the case files reviewed by the Great Hengli Kingdom over the years.
After all, in the past, most of the storms were led by the emperor himself. However, the emperor never talked about any rules. The Jinyiwei took people, interrogated and dealt with them.
The entire process has nothing to do with the Three Laws.
And this time, whether it is literature or martial arts, the lids that were lifted were all in the Three Laws.
Under the checks and balances between civil and military officials, this storm has become an unquestionable anti-corruption campaign.
After all, there is no unquestionable evidence to follow the three legal departments in the process of checking and balance supervision of civil and military checks and balances. That is a loophole, a small braid, and if you are caught, it means you will lose the rice if you steal a chicken.
In this way, whether it is the civil servants or generals who have been dismissed, they are obviously guilty people.
The anxious focus of civil and military officials also lies in the Three Laws.
But compared to civil officials, the advantages of military honors are obviously greater.
After all, Wu Xun can check and balance the supervision of the three judicial departments, but civil servants cannot supervise the military judicial departments.
The Wuxuns found out and handed over to the three judicial departments. Under supervision, they had to check if they didn't want to.
However, when civil officials found out that their military achievements were in ruins, they could only hand them over to the military and judicial departments, which became an internal matter for the army.
Daheng's army has had no relationship with civil servants since the Ming Dynasty. Now, although with normal order, the relationship between civil servants and military is only limited to logistics, and it is difficult to touch on review and supervision.
This is obviously crucial under the current situation, and is a fatal flaw for civil servants.
As time evolved, this flaw became more and more obvious in this political struggle.
The pressure step by step brought about a series of defeats. In the end, this storm was about to evolve to clean up the landlords and gentry.
However, the only difference is that the dominance of the past lies in the emperor, and civil servants and gentry can only passively bear it.
And this time, it was enclosed among the three court officials in the court, to some extent, "Martial Honor" took advantage of its power... and forced civil servants to cut their own flesh with a knife.
The core of the problem is... the civil servants are unable to dominate the civil servants at home, and are even forced by the warriors they have always looked down upon, and they are unable to resist.
The reason is already very clear.
That is, at the home court of civil servants, there are a large number of "fake civil servants" filled with military forces, greatly oppressing the living space of traditional civil servants, gentry, Da Heng.
Moreover, the material selection and education system has not been determined. The fresh blood of civil servants and gentry is either excluded from the Daheng order or becomes unorthodox civil servants.
The thick barriers have made it impossible to form a joint force with traditional civil servants to defend the living space of traditional literati in the Daheng order.
In other words, the core of the problem is just one thing, that is, the material selection education system is uncertain, and there is no system that continuously cultivates civil servants to select civil servants, which supplements civil servants with fresh blood. Daheng's civil servants will always be suppressed by military honors.
The reason why they were able to compete with Wu Xun before was only because of... the emperor's suppression of Wu Xun.
Instead of what they imagined, the emperor supported the military honor and suppressed their civil servants and gentry...
After the establishment of Daheng, the country was established by martial arts and the dynasty changed, the political environment of the former Ming Dynasty evolved accordingly, and the nobles and nobles of the civil and military officials were almost history!
During the storm that lasted for a whole year in the sixth year of Zhaowu, many civil servants had involuntarily realized this cruel reality.
Times have changed long ago, but they are still immersed in the glory of the past, and even if they notice the changes, they are unwilling to accept them.
But the facts are not dominated by them, and they do not have much choice.
Daheng, only Daheng’s literati.
They hold on to the so-called noble glory, and even if they can hold on for a while, they cannot hold on for a lifetime.
Daheng is not Daming after all.
Emperor Zhaowu was not the emperors of the deep palaces of the previous Ming Dynasty.
If you are stubborn, you will eventually be eliminated...
Chapter completed!
