Chapter 1563 This Move Is Too Ruthless
Regarding this, the ministers did not have any opinions. My civil servants in Ming Dynasty rarely shut up, but today they have to shut up, because the current Shen Long is not the little emperor who just ascended the throne. They also have the approval of the heavens. In a short time, they still can't think of any good way.
"Besides, there are also those who abandoned their official positions and fled when Jian slaves came. What should we do with these people?" Nima took the imperial salaries one by one. When encountering an enemy attack, I immediately pack up my belongings and run away. What use do I need these people?
"Your Majesty, these shameless people should imitate the example of abandoning Turk, beheading and ransacking their homes, and exiling the three clans!" Those civil servants who followed Shen Long in the imperial conquest immediately began to show their loyalty. Your Majesty must not like them, so use They came to beg His Majesty, okay, besides, they are the officials of the capital, and they escaped during the siege of the city, what is it if it is not the crime of abandoning the land?
"This statement is absurd. Even if this generation is wrong, it will not be beheaded!" Recently, the loss of civil servants in Ming Dynasty was too heavy, so those big men in the court had to come out to help them speak.
"Yes, Your Majesty, even though this generation is shameless, it should not be too strict..." It is really pitiful for Shen Long to suppress these civil servants today, so once someone takes the lead, someone will follow immediately, and argue from various aspects It is unreasonable to behead and ransack the homes of those who have abandoned their officials and fled.
More and more people came to persuade him, and gradually suppressed those civil officials who suggested severe punishment. Now Shen Long basically controlled the generals of Ming Dynasty, but there were not many supporters among the civil officials.
"Since all the lovers are begging for them, then I will bypass them this time." Shen Long sneered in his heart, can they live better if they don't kill people? There are many ways to punish one's heart.
"However, capital crimes can be redeemed, but living crimes are hard to forgive. Officials are also the famous treasures of the country. If everyone wants to abandon them, they can abandon them. What is the face of the court? Since these people have given up the famous national treasures, they don't need to serve the court! The order is to seize their writing since their birth, dismiss them as civilians, confiscate their property, and send them back home!" Well, since you have given up your official position, don't be an official for the rest of your life!
The civil servants were a little relieved when they heard the words. Although this punishment was harsh, it was much more lenient than the punishment of beheading and exiling the three clans just now.
They were about to thank Shen Long, but they heard Shen Long continue to say, "Their three clans don't need to be exiled, but they don't want to be officials anymore. Officials who abandon them and flee are strictly prohibited from imperial examinations and official positions within three generations. "Nowadays, it doesn't matter what one person does and one person is in charge, and it is common to implicate the family.
ah! The ministers were shocked when they heard the words. It would be better if only one person’s official position was wiped out. Although the court would raid their homes, they have been officials for many years, and they still have some leftovers. After returning to their hometown, they will carefully teach the younger generation. Come out, relying on his past in the officialdom, the family may be able to turn around.
But if the imperial examination is banned within three generations, it will be over. In terms of locality, if your family still doesn’t have a scholar or a scholar, then you will definitely be reduced to being bullied by subordinate officials and wealthy families; if these people know that your family has no scholar for three generations. If you don't bully you, who else will you bully? If this stays in the village, I'm afraid it will be even more miserable than exile.
This way of dealing with it is not without precedent. For example, Xu Xiake was implicated and unable to take the imperial examination because of his ancestor's cheating in the imperial examination. What Shen Long said just now is also clear. Don't you want to be an official? Then why don't your whole family be an official? Later generations will still pay attention to a political trial. If something like this happened in your family, do you still want to be an official? Think beautifully!
However, this is not over yet, Shen Long covered the coffins of these people with a shovel of soil, and he continued, "The fact that such shameless people can be found shows that the style of writing in his hometown is not correct! Leave the hometown of these shameless people for now. Three years of imperial examinations, and the local imperial examinations will be reopened after three years! During this period,
It is strictly forbidden for scholars in this area to apply for the exam! "
If it was just for their family, then they might complain about the court’s injustice after returning home, and go out with the local scholars to make peace and tarnish the image of the court; now because of them, the local scholars will not be able to take the imperial examination for three years Exams, so these scholars don't hate them to the bone?
After they go home, just wait to be surrounded by local scholars and scold them! Just because of their entanglement, let me waste three years of precious time, who can bear this? If you have to scold them bloody, how can you sing with them and listen to their nonsense?
"Your Majesty!" The first two are easy to say, but the last one made many ministers panic. Since they are willing to come out to speak for these people, it will not be unrelated. Many of them are from their hometown. Well, it would be a big loss if my nephew and nephew who were involved in this matter were not allowed to take the imperial examination for three years!
"Okay, that's the end of the matter! If the court is too lenient, how will I face those loyal ministers who died for the country? In the past three years, the quotas taken from them will be rewarded to those who are loyal to the country." The official hometown!" Shen Long made a decision without explanation.
You want to save their lives, no problem, but what I will do next is up to you! I think you are probably regretting speaking for them now, right? It's a pity that it's too late.
After this, I am afraid that few people dare to abandon their jobs and run away, right? Because if you dare to run away, your whole family and the whole village will be implicated. When you return to your hometown, you will only be cast aside by the villagers, and maybe you will be expelled from the clan. , the people in the hometown will definitely offer incense and offerings in four seasons, and the relatives who stay in the hometown will also receive the best care.
Compared with the two, what kind of decision should be made? Even when you want to escape sometimes, those family members who follow you have to force you to stay for their own children! Your Majesty's move is really too ruthless.
The ministers who pleaded for mercy just now regretted it unceasingly. If they knew this, it would be better to let them die. If they die, they will not be implicated in me. Now it is better, and my nephews have to waste three years in vain. ! Thinking of this, they can't wait to personally kill those people whom they helped to intercede just now!
This matter is over, and all the issues of today's Great Court Meeting have been discussed, and the officials have no intention of discussing other things, so the Great Court Meeting dispersed, and the big guys hurried down to discuss countermeasures.
