Chapter 495: Text Prison

However, the officials who jointly wrote a letter asking Li Yuan to take their concubines again were in trouble, but in the end they still implicated some innocent victims.

Those officials asked Li Yuan to take concubines again, so it was natural that there would be a female candidate.

As a result, the children of some officials who were not aware of the situation were selected by these officials.

Of course, there are naturally many officials who are familiar with the matter. They must have hoped that their daughters will be valued by Li Yuan. Since then, the sparrows have become phoenixes, and these beauties have naturally become royal relatives and their status has been greatly improved.

As for their daughter's idea, they no longer have their concerns. Although the children in their official family have a higher status than others, they also lose more.

Therefore, no one can tell whether it is good or bad.

These women who were elected as candidates for concubines also suffered after the officials fell, and the families of those women were naturally inevitably suffering.

Those officials who did not know that they were selected as concubines were naturally not so serious. At most, they were demoted to one or two levels. As for their daughters, of course, they would find Dingwoo's family early, even if they were not a good family, they would not care about it. After all, compared with their lives, these are just trivial matters.

And those officials who attempted to offer their daughters as concubines would not end up as simple as that.

First, thoroughly investigate the situation of these officials and see if there is any illegal or criminal matter. If not, then these officials will be labeled as eager for quick success and instant benefits, and then a document will be sent to remote towns to work.

I think it's hard for them to be promoted in this life.

Secondly, those guilty officials are convicted according to the situation. The least is to confiscate their property and demote them to common people; the worst is to have their bodies and heads and bodies separated.

After experiencing these things, the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City understood that they would rather offend Li Yuan than offend Dou Xian.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were even more trembling, fearing that they would offend Dou Xian. That was really unfaithful.

After that, it’s about Li Yuanba.

Although the Qi King Li Yuanji is usually showing off his might and looks like a bunker, Li Yuanji is actually easy to talk to.

The reason why he provoked Li Yuanba was a life-threatening death.

That's because, unless you are lucky and someone persuades you, you will definitely die incredibly miserable ways.

Of course, among the Li family, except for Li Yuan, Dou Xian, Li Jiancheng, Li Xiuning, and even Li Shimin were only most able to persuade Li Shimin. The reason is that Li Shimin looks too literary and is too different from Li Yuanba. Moreover, because of Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanba in this life did not experience the changes of the Yuwen family, and his temperament did not change significantly.

Therefore, in comparison, Li Yuanba is closer to Li Jiancheng. Moreover, Li Jiancheng has also taken great contributions to Li Yuanba being with Yang Jin.

Apart from the above people, Yang Jin was able to persuade Li Yuanba when he was not angry. Once Li Yuanba was angry, Yang Jin would have no effect at all.

Among the members of the Li family, Li Yuanji failed the most, and Li Yuanba didn't even have a bird when he said that.

Speaking of which, one time, Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji went to a restaurant for a drink. During this period, they happened to hear two scholars discussing their mother, Dou Xian, the queen of the Tang Empire.

At first glance, Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji's expressions changed. Li Yuanba even more simply rushed to the front of them and dragged them out of the restaurant. Without saying a word, Li Yuanba pulled out the [Hunyuan Eight-angle Weng Jin Hammer] he carried with him. With one hammer, a scholar died of brain burst on the spot.

When another scholar saw this, he was immediately frightened and he fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

It turned out that the two scholars might have been drunk just now, so they began to talk about the current affairs of the Tang Empire. At the beginning, they said it well. However, one of the scholars criticized Dou Xian for some reason. What they said was that Li Yuan was the king of a country, but there was only one queen like Dou Xian. In his opinion, Dou Xian must be because Dou Xian was narrow-minded and could not tolerate others, so Li Yuan has not yet accepted a concubine.

Speaking of excitement, he stood up and rolled up his sleeves, as if he had some bold words.

However, before he could continue talking, Li Yuanba came to him and dragged the two of them out directly. Moreover, before he could ask for the reason, Li Yuanba was killed by a hammer.

Literary inquisition, especially such discourses about current affairs, have been found in all dynasties. However, the rarest or impossible to find in historical books is the Tang Dynasty.

As recorded in the Book of Han, Sima Qian's grandson Yang Yun was sentenced to beheading Yang Yun for his crime of being ruthless because of his order to "Emperor Xuan hates him when he sees him" for "Shu Shu Sun Huizong".

In the late Wei Dynasty, Ji Kang was beheaded in the East City for writing "Breaking a Friendship with Shan Juyuan" and ordered the ruling Sima Shi to "heard it and hate it".

In June of the 11th year of the Taiping Zhenjun of the Northern Wei Dynasty (450 AD), the Northern Wei minister Cui Hao was ordered to be executed by Emperor Taiwu of Wei because he presided over the compilation of the direct book of national history that revealed the shame and humiliation of the ancestors of the Tuoba clan, the ruler of the Northern Wei Dynasty. At the same time, the northern tribes were implicated and killed, including Cui Hao's relatives in Fanyang, the Guo clan of Taiyuan and the Liu clan of Hedong, which were known in history as the "Prison of National History".

Su Shi, a great poet of the Northern Song Dynasty and great poet, was once accused of "hiding evil intentions, slandering and slandering" in his poems and offended those in power. He was arrested and imprisoned for nearly five months. The charge was for hiding evil intentions and slandering current affairs. The main basis was several poems such as "Five Essences of Mountain Village", "Looking at the Tide on August 15th", and "Speaking the Peony in Ancient Winter". It is known in history as the "Wutai Poetry Case".

In 1323 AD (the third year of Zhizhi of Emperor Yingzong of Yuan Dynasty), Emperor Gong of Song, Zhao (pronounced xiǎn), missed the Song Dynasty and wrote the following poem: A message to Lin Hejing, how many times the plum blossoms bloom? The guests from the Golden Platform should not return. After reading this poem, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty believed that Zhao was "sarcasticizing the hearts of the people in Jiangnan" and issued an edict to kill Zhao in Hexi.

The Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di even started killing because of literary inquisition. Perhaps their behavior angered God, so the emperors after the Ming Dynasty were basically suppressed by literati.

Life is so depressing, it is really not worth telling outsiders!

The period when the literary inquisition reached its peak was naturally the Qing Dynasty.

Because they are grassland peoples entering outside the pass, they are always very sensitive inside. They claim to be their masters, and people except the royal family are slaves, just to hide their psychological inferiority.

Therefore, when these two scholars of the Tang Dynasty commented on such matters, they would not die at all! (To be continued...)
