0778 The nobles are in the dynasty, and the prisoners are in the city
Luoyang Nanshi has become particularly lively recently. Not only because of the restoration of order in the city and the increase in market transactions, but also the daily execution scenes of the execution in the Nanshi execution grounds have attracted many spectators.
The so-called prisoner abandons him in the market and is abandoned by the public. The reason why the execution ground is arranged in a densely populated city is itself an education and warning, showing people the power and demonstrating the punishment order.
But in fact, this kind of intention of education only exists in theory. Tang Lu was cautious in killing. For example, during the Zhenguan period, there were only a few hundred criminals who were sentenced to death throughout the year. It was not just that the people were simple, but the more important reason was that ordinary people had almost no chance of killing criminals in their daily lives.
Even during the Wuzhou period when cruel officials were rampant, the law enforcement resources for criminal orders were mainly concentrated in the officials and nobles, and did not spread to the public. Therefore, in many cases, even the worst order was better than the order of disorder. Although the political struggle was bloody, many people who were not qualified to participate could still remain out of the matter. Once there were any natural disasters and man-made disasters, they would rarely be spared.
Of course, even if the execution and abandonment of the city is not very effective in education, it has another meaning, which is to provide a channel for emotional catharsis for the people who have suffered severely in the city.
In the past, this chaos spread throughout Fangqu. Many families suffered heavy losses and even their families died in vain. This hatred needs to be vented. However, the ordinary people have limited knowledge and they don’t even know who to surrender this hatred to. Then the inmates in Nanshi naturally became their targets of hatred.
"Who is the person who was sentenced today? What crime did he commit?"
Outside the execution ground, the people gathered together and looked at the unkempt prisoners who had been put on the punishment. Some latecomers couldn't help but ask curiously.
There is a list of articles at the entrance of the execution ground, which lists the identities of the person being punished, the titles and what they have committed. Most of the people are illiterate, but there are also people who are interested in standing under the list and reading loudly: "Today, they are punished by the Duke of Hui, Jiang Xi, the Prime Minister, and 13 households in the Dingkou District, and the female family, both young and weak, and they have no officials as slaves..."
Hearing the identity of the person being punished, all the spectators around him gasped: "Even the prime minister has committed murder? Or is it a national family... what kind of serious crime is it?"
"Let me take a look... Haha, this Jiang Xi is really not unfair to die. As the prime minister, he is also in charge of the imperial position in the hall. He actually hid in his family and allowed the chaos to rob the King of Xiang... The King of Xiang was the saint of the previous year. This dog thief has a high position and a powerful person. He only knows how to defend himself when he is in trouble. He has no regard for the king and the father. The whole family is fully protected. He is betrayed the king and the people. If the evil thief does not die, is there any justice in the world?"
The readers of the list were filled with righteous indignation, and the spectators around them all applauded after seeing this.
These spectators may not complain about their humility, but a simple truth is that the greater the grace, the greater the responsibility. Before the crisis comes, these high-ranking officials and nobles all have endless food and clothing, and they cannot help but be able to govern their family, country and country, so that the chaos in the capital of God is indeed a fool!
Amid the screams of the people around, swords flashed on the execution ground, and in an instant, more than a dozen people were different from each other's body and heads. The bloody scene was thrilling, but it was also very exciting. Someone who was interested in clapping his hands.
The bodies of the tortured were taken away by the government, and the families who survived were also taken to the Agriculture Department on the spot. The blood that had sprinkled all over the ground on the execution ground was not covered with wood ash, and another family was taken to the execution ground. The family of the tortured was also well-known, and it was Guanglu Qingzong Chuke's family.
From mid-day to evening, there were few free time in the entire Nanshi execution grounds, from the prime ministers and officials who were guilty of dereliction of duty to the rangers who killed the robbers and robbed the gangsters, and in the evening, the blood sprayed by the killing prisoners gathered into a blood pool in the depressions of the execution grounds, and even if more than a dozen trucks of ashes were covered, they could not suppress the strong smell of blood.
After the sound of drums on the street, the people left the market and returned to the yard one after another. The officials who were executed were slightly cleaned up the execution ground. After the body was completed, they all returned to the government to report that the lively market soon became deserted.
The lights are already on the imperial city. Although the night is gradually getting thicker, there are still pedestrians between the officials and officials from all over the world. The leisurely scene of sitting in the hall for half a day and having a long time to play fishing and entertainment is gone forever. In addition to working hard to restore the original responsibilities, officials from all over the world also have to deal with a large number of new matters every day, which is very hard.
However, there are few officials complaining about such busyness. After Yuansijian, the large-scale purge of court officials was one aspect, but at the same time, it was accompanied by frequent super-election and approval. After all, there was another sentence before the sentence of prisoners being in the market and abandoning them with the public, that is, the title of people being in the court and sharing them with the public.
The large number of vacancies in the ranks meant the emergence of many opportunities. After Yao Yu, the prime minister who was the new Minister of Personnel, entered the court, Yuan Si of the Supervisor immediately instructed Yao Yu to draft the "Yasuko Format" as the rules of work and standards for commending the chaos period.
The format of this new award is concise. Although there is not much content, it is deeply rooted in the current situation. Especially in the field of merits given by court officials, a standard for the Yasukuni examination was formulated. Officials took the exam for one tenth day of the department, and the Ministry of Personnel planned to take the Xiaoquan exam in one quarter, and the court recommended the court in one quarter. The three exams were held at the Yasukuni heroes, and they were selected to listen to the collection before the age of fifty.
When the standards for the Jingguo exam were announced, all the court officials were very excited. Because such regulations meant that the process of serving as an official, which took three or five years to complete, was condensed into three months. The Tang Dynasty officials took the class exam once a small exam once a year and once a big exam once a year. After the four-year term of office, the four-year examinations will be measured, and the officials will be promoted or reduced once, and then they will enter a long period of selection.
However, under the standards of the Yasukuni Examination, officials will have a large-scale grading improvement in one quarter. Once they are awarded a meritorious official, they only need to stay in the election for one year. Before the age of fifty, they have stepped on the fast lane of promotion. Under such incentive standards, even if there is no great merit, as long as there is no big mistake in the process of becoming an official, the chance of being promoted to the fifth rank can be greatly increased.
Although there were often examples of great achievements and excellence during the reign of the Empress Dowager during the reign of the country, this was accidental after all, and such promotion was despised by righteous people. However, now, as long as you work hard, everyone can get the opportunity to achieve a career, and the factors that are lacking in the process of conviction and chaos are not considered, which is indeed a great encouragement to the morale of the court officials.
The years-long test cycle has been condensed into just a few months. Although it has greatly encouraged the officials, it has also greatly increased the pace of work. The court can be said to have fully utilized the spirit of using it to death as long as people do not die. Most officials who are determined and strong will work hard, hoping to achieve improvements that can only be achieved in the past few years or even decades through months of sudden struggle.
Therefore, in the imperial city today, all officials with ministries have no time or energy to care about things other than ministries. Working through the day is just a basic operation, which has already completely stopped the affairs of the various departments back on track in a very short time.
Of course, the hard work of the officials also brought about a bad consequence, that is, the regent Yuansi is far more busy than any of them. No matter how busy the affairs of the various departments are, at least the masses will still share their work. However, the more various affairs are passed on, the fewer people will participate in decision-making.
In the Imperial City Political Affairs Hall, all the cases were filled with documents, almost submerged the people behind the cases, while the documents of the various departments were still being transported in in boxes. Such a picture almost made people feel desperate.
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the preface in the hall. The waiter looked in the sound and saw that the cages piled up beside the desk had fallen, and the documents inside were scattered all over the floor. At the same time, a figure was scrambling out of the piles of documents, hurriedly walked forward, and picked up the documents that had fallen on the body of the supervisor Yuansi.
"Don't mess up the order, so as not to work on the worker."
Li Tong rubbed his forehead that was vaguely painful on the corner of the case, raised his body and stretched his waist, and said without forgetting to give instructions.
At this time, Yao Shu, who was lying on the rope bed on one side, was also startled to hear the sound. After seeing this, he quickly got up and said, "Your Highness will take a short break, and the rest will be reviewed by me."
Li Tong glanced at Yao Yu's eyes and couldn't help but sigh: "Simple the staff and work in a lot of things, and my husband is also working hard. He is the chief minister, and he will be turbid before he respects!"
Before Yao Shu could answer after hearing this, a box of documents was brought in outside the door. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't care about saying anything polite. He held his waist and sat down.
Li Tong felt a little embarrassed when he saw this. It was really unreasonable to make the prime minister tired. Under normal circumstances, when he arrived at the level of the Political Affairs Hall, of course there would not be so many matters to be handled, even if it was a new decision after the chaos.
The reason why the Political Affairs Hall is so busy is that Li Tong's ingenuity is that almost all the entourage officials in the court are abandoned. These entourage officials are not just chatting with the leaders, but one of the most important tasks is to prepare for questions and consult. Li Tong's actions are equivalent to dismissing all the secretaries. He only relies on the few members of the Political Affairs Hall to work hard on the political affairs officials in the court who are like wolves and tigers. He will only be able to see a ghost if he is free.
Moreover, even if he is the governor of the government, he has the power to make decisions, there are only four people in the political affairs hall, and the other prime ministers are either outside the office or on the way. In order to take care of the old man Ouyang Tong, he also specially ordered Ouyang Tong to prepare for the October throne and return ceremony, and there is no need to stay in the hall.
So in the current political affairs hall, he, Yao Shun and Li Sixun were the only ones. Li Sixun was carried away for several days and was only carried away this afternoon. Yao Shun has been in his bento yesterday until now. Yao Shun is still in his sixties. If Suo Luo Rui, who went to the countryside in his early years, had he been able to exercise his body well, he would have been unable to hold on.
While the officials were packing up the books and documents, Li Tong walked a little in the hall, moving his legs that had been sitting for a long time. After walking a few steps, he saw two strong men carrying one in. The man's face was pale and haggard, which was Zhang Shuo.
Seeing Zhang Shuo look so miserable, Li Tong couldn't help but feel a little worried, and hurried forward and asked, "What's going on?" This man was really out of help, so he quickly carried him home. How unlucky was it to carry him to the Political Affairs Hall.
Hearing the question, Zhang Shuo's eyelids opened slightly and he barely stood up. Before he could speak, he glanced at the vermilion screen on the side of the Zhengshi Hall. He quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth and ran out of the hall, and retching.
Seeing this scene, Li Tong was a little puzzled. Why did this scene look a bit like a terrifying person? He couldn't help but ask, "Who did it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Junchen flashed out of the left side of the corridor and clasped his fists and said in panic: "I really didn't mean it, I really didn't know that Zhang Qing could not ban it..."
