Chapter 1278 Deep in the Vortex
Chapter 1278 Deep in the Vortex
Since the founding of the country by Li Yuan, a balance has been formed between the central government of the Tang Dynasty and the power of local aristocratic families.
This kind of balance is the tacit understanding reached among the nobles of the aristocratic families. When the Li family established the country, the world is like a major reshuffle. Therefore, the landlords of the powerful and noble families regard Li as the emperor, and at the same time, the emperor accepts the outstanding children of the world's major families into the court as officials. .
Of course, there are also emerging nobles who have followed Li Yuan and Li Shimin to fight for the country. Most of them started in the grass, such as Li Jicheng Yaojin and so on. These emerging nobles also occupied a certain position in the court.
Therefore, the current structure of the Great Tang Dynasty is that the emperor rules the world, and those from aristocratic families occupy most of the important official positions, supplemented by emerging nobles and scholar-bureaucrats, as well as a small number of children from poor families who have passed the imperial examination.
This structure is actually unhealthy, because the aristocratic family is too powerful and they have too much power in the local area, even greater than the emperor's imperial edict.
How could the emperor of the Li family, who was used to conquering the world, dare not refuse?
So in Li Zhi's generation, he made it his lifelong goal to weaken the family.
This has affected Li Zhi's tendency to deal with the government. No matter what happens, as long as it involves a family, it will be suppressed first.
This is the case with the Eight Great Families in the South of the Yangtze River. Strictly speaking, both the Eight Great Families and Li Qinzai were at fault, and the most appropriate way to deal with it is as Dou Dexuan said, each with [-] big boards.
But Li Zhi disagreed, what he wanted was to stand up, and even more so to suppress the arrogance of the family, and at the same time, he wanted to take this opportunity to kick out officials related to the eight prominent families in the court and give the position to someone more trusted.
Liu Rengui's memorial was equivalent to a crusade against the aristocratic family. When the courtiers saw Li Zhi's ambiguous attitude, they immediately understood which way the wind was blowing.
The courtiers frantically denounced the crimes of the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. They not only hunted down the Shangguan family and raided Liaodong County's bus driver, but also dug out the old stories.
Of course, it cannot be the first time that the eight prominent families dare to do these arrogant things in Chang'an City. Only their long-term rampant behavior and the long-term tolerance of others can fuel the arrogance of the noble families and become more and more uncontrollable.
Therefore, we must take advantage of the eight prominent families and seize a lot of them.
From the forced buying and selling in Chang'an City, bullying others with power, the wanton acquisition of land in the Guanzhong area, to local interference in political affairs, resistance to imperial decrees, etc., all kinds of shady things in the past have been dug up.
The courtiers became more and more excited, and the Eight Great Families were finally in a hurry.
A few days after the incident, the people in the court were in an uproar, and officials from eight prominent families were afraid to go to court to defend themselves.
Noble families perform their duties in the local area, and our officials from noble families are honest and honest in Chang'an. All the accusations are false. Some people are deliberately slandering. Please let the emperor know clearly.
As for rebellion or something like that, it was a huge trap. The noble family had always been loyal to their duties since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, with the Li family as the main body. The noble family had never supported troops, and they did not dare to have any dissatisfaction with the imperial court.
The matter is endless, no matter how loud the voice of self-defense is, it can only impeach the whole city.
On the third day when the courtiers participated in the impeachment of the famous family, a decree suddenly came out from the Tai Chi Palace.
Ordered a department to thoroughly investigate the cases involving the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Thorough investigation" means that as long as the court official's memorial contains the content of impeaching a prominent family, no matter whether it is true or false, you will investigate every piece of it. If you pull out the carrot and bring out the mud behind the case, you must also investigate it.
Officials from the eight prominent families panicked.
Who is not a piece of shit if he relies on his family's power to reach this position?Who can stand the investigation?
The emperor and the imperial court are not deaf and blind. It is impossible for them to be ignorant of what they have done before. It is just that the emperor deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb in order to stabilize the overall situation.
Now the emperor has ordered a thorough investigation, which shows that Liu Rengui's memorial has been planted in the emperor's heart, and the emperor has doubts about whether the eight prominent families are complicit in rebellion.
In any dynasty, once the word "rebellion" is involved, it will be a disaster for the family and the individual.
Even if there is no real evidence in the end, the skin will still be peeled off if you don't die.
While officials from prominent families panicked and went to court to defend themselves, countless letters were sent to the south of the Yangtze River, begging their families to come forward.
Disaster is imminent, and reinforcements must be called in.
…………
In the late spring and summer solstice, the lotus flowers in the pond quietly revealed their tips, accompanied by bursts of frogs croaking, which brought a bit of peace to the irritability.
Li Qinzai was sitting on a deck chair in the yard, listening to the frogs croaking in the pond, feeling a little upset.
Noisily dozed off.
He was about to ask Buqu to come over, go into the pond to catch all the frogs, and make fried fried frogs with wine at night, but Butler Wu rushed to report that his disciples were visiting.
Li Sujie rushed in first, followed by Li Xian, the two princesses of Xuancheng Yiyang, Xue Na, Gao Qi, Wu Minzhi and others.
Li Qinzai looked at the sky and saw that it was almost noon. He couldn't help but sigh and murmured: "I came here just in time for dinner. Everything is unlucky today. I am destined to be eaten by others..."
But for the sake of beating up the Eight Great Families for him a few days ago, let's treat them to a meal.
"Sir, you are so relaxed, you live a much more comfortable life than your disciples." Li Sujie stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile.
The disciples behind him saluted one after another.
Xue Na was not a disciple, only he was the most impolite, he picked up a piece of shortbread on the low table beside Li Qinzai and put it to his mouth, took a bite and immediately frowned: "It's too sweet, it's not good."
He said it was not delicious, but Xue Ne picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.
Li Qinzai pointed at him, and then said seriously to his disciples: "This kind of person will most likely be beaten when he visits someone else's house. Don't imitate him, be polite."
Li Sujie and others could not bear to laugh.
Xue Na clicked his tongue, and said dissatisfiedly: "Eat two pieces of your crispy cake, you are stingy!"
As he spoke, he picked up another piece and stuffed it into his mouth, looking at him provocatively.
Li Qinzai calmly said: "Just now this piece fell on the ground, I picked it up and planned to feed it to the dogs... But it's the same for you."
Xue Na spat it all out with a puff.
Li Sujie and others couldn't help but burst into laughter. Wu Minzhi laughed the most crazily, his whole body shaking as if having a convulsion.
Li Qinzai looked at him worriedly. This guy's madness seems to be getting worse and worse. Should Jin Dayan feel his pulse?
After everyone gathered around to chat, Xue Ne mentioned the feat of beating up a prominent family that day.
Everyone present participated, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"It's not me blowing..."
As soon as Xue Ne raised his head, Li Qinzai immediately translated beside him: "He means that the blowing will start soon."
There was another burst of laughter, and Xue Na's high spirits suddenly stagnated, and he said: "Brother Jingchu, save me some face in front of your disciples, and besides, I worked very hard that day."
"There were more than 100 people in the Kong family in Kuaiji, and all of them had their legs broken by me. My personal guards used an iron boring with thick arms. When the boring fell down, there was a click, and the bones were all turned out. People who have been on the battlefield are panicked..."
