Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1917 Black Heart
Autumn, the hot summer is over, and the cold winter is coming. This time is probably the best season of the year. There is neither the feeling of coldness and humidity in spring, nor the feeling of coldness in winter when you just want to curl up on the kang It’s boring on the Internet, everything is just right, the sun is refreshing, and the white clouds are like cotton candy.

Feiqian's "Heaven, Earth and People" three strategies to eliminate locusts curbed the spread of locusts in the Sanfu area of ​​Guanzhong, and also made the fields in Guanzhong feel relieved and reaped a year's sweat and hard work.The first batch of crops has been harvested in sevens and eighty-eight, and now we are waiting for the second batch of harvest, which is also the largest batch and the largest batch this year. The agricultural scholars distributed in various fields have begun to get busy, and even mobilized The government's poor horses and pack oxen are ready for transshipment.

Fei Qian has always believed that it is better to use the blue version of tickets for future generations, because after changing to red tickets, it seems that the original color in many people's hearts is either in the eyes, or it is directly black.

Of course, this is a joke.

It's just that corruption is really a headache.

Is it greedy to eat and drink?

Use a little to get a little, is it rotten?

In the feudal era, what standard was required to reach the corruption line, and was this line reasonable?It's not surprising that Lao Zhu's classmate in the Ming Dynasty couldn't stop the pace of corruption even if he stripped his skin and pretended to be grass.

Wei Duan from the Senate had already been there, delivered a law of corruption that was neither serious nor serious, but also somewhat unclear, and then was sent back lukewarmly by Fei Qian, asking him to go back and start again. Consider it.

If Party B is not allowed to change the [-] or [-] version, is it still Party A?

This is a big problem, and even Fei Qian finds it very difficult.

In the feudal era, the problem of corruption was actually closely related to imperial power.

Because in ancient times, especially in feudal dynasties, the emperor represented the will of the entire country. Well, in most cases, the entire country is "couldn't it be the king's land?" He is just a loner who seems to own the whole country, but what he cannot manage himself is just a prisoner sitting in the Golden Temple.

Therefore, for the emperor, the bureaucratic system is the only channel for contacting and controlling the country with the outside world. Under this structure, the emperor has no strong means of restricting the bureaucratic system itself.Therefore, a clean government requires the entire bureaucracy to consciously control its own hands, not to mention that wages are low most of the time, so from the beginning of eating and drinking, taking a little and using a little, and finally developing to openly stealing and greedy for money, Isn't that normal?
Just like Jia's Mansion in A Dream of Red Mansions,
The emperor is like "Mother Jia", who seems to be the head of the family, with a good reputation, but in fact, the ladies, maids, concubines, and servants often engage in petty theft and immoral behavior.Does the emperor really not know that officials are corrupt?He knew, but what could he do?

At most, a few people from Dongchang or Jinyiwei were sent to follow behind the officials, openly or secretly. At first, the officials were afraid of this, so they dragged them into the water together. Dongchang and Jinyiwei were both corrupted together.In the end, whether it was the emperor's money, money from corruption, or money from bribery, they were all added to the people's heads, so that in the end the people were destitute, and all kinds of uprisings and turmoil broke out when they couldn't bear it.

Even if the head of the family accidentally discovers something with his conscience, can he avoid corruption if he replaces a group of more moral servants?

impossible.

Because it is the whole system that causes corruption, not just a few individuals. As long as this system exists, the result will be the same, because human nature itself is like this.

Therefore, Fei Qian admires the real great revolutionaries of the later generations, those great people who made selfless dedication, because they did things that ordinary people cannot do, they subdued their own desires, and showed the brilliant side of human nature.

But in the feudal era, it was difficult.More people are trapped in desire, but any brilliance is already very remarkable.

Why is corruption often uncontrollable after the death of the founding emperor?
This is because the reason why many subsequent emperors were able to sit high in the Golden Temple was that they must have ministers to guard their authority and recognize their legitimacy, and once there is no endorsement by a powerful minister, the emperor is not even a fart, just like It is the current Liu Xie.

Therefore, for the emperor, what he valued most was not corruption, but the safety of the throne.

Most emperors in history did not kill ministers easily. This is a rule and a taboo.Once the emperor killed a minister, most of the minister's remarks or actions involved the emperor's authority and legitimacy, which was true in all likelihood.

Therefore, for the emperor, the problem of corruption is only a national issue, not an issue of imperial power, but for the emperor of "Family World", only a position can have a family, and only a world can exist!As long as the emperor's own power is stable, this family will exist, and part of the stolen money from corruption should be paid to the housekeeper for his hard work in helping him take care of the house. The emperor, of course, turned a blind eye.

This is why the emperor still favors Yan Song and He Shen who are so corrupt, because the emperor also needs a transparent straw of corrupt officials to secretly absorb the people's fat and ointment.

Therefore, in the feudal dynasty where the imperial power is respected, it must be determined that it is impossible to rule the country completely according to the law, but only according to the power, and once the power is used to check and balance, then corruption will inevitably arise.

So facing such an almost unsolvable problem, Fei Qian actually had a headache.

Fei Qian had a headache, and Wei Duan also had a headache.And it hurts even more than Fei Qian, because after Fei Qian read the first draft, he expressed some shortcomings, and then only gave five days to revise it, and asked Wei Duan to go back and correct one or two...

Insufficient, where is the deficiency!Wei Duan wailed endlessly, but Wei Duan didn't dare to ask. He also knew that even if he asked, Fei Qian might not be able to say it.

In a dilemma, Wei Duan had no choice but to scale up his moves...

"There is a saying in "Xiashu": "Hunk, ink, and thief, kill. Gaotao's punishment." Wei Duan sat in the senate courtyard, looked at the next group of people, and said slowly, "greedy Taking corrupt officials as ink is a punishment. In "Shangshu·Lu Xing", there are also "flaws of five faults", but officials, adhering to the above, relying on power.But those who do the opposite use their power to report personal grievances.But the insider, the insider uses things, and secretly restrains them.But the goods are those who take bribes, take bribes, and extort.But those who come, accept the entrustment and bend the law for personal gain.The above five crimes are all committed in the same case...』

This is the main tone, the general framework, which has been passed down from Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and is politically correct. Naturally, no one has any opinions, or dares to put forward any opinions.

What Wei Duanzhi said was that since China had a country, that is, the earliest Xia Dynasty, there had been corruption, but at that time the handling of crimes was very simple, and there was only one, the death penalty.

Among them, "faint" refers to stealing others' reputation by doing bad things, "thief" refers to killing people recklessly, and "mo" refers to officials breaking the law and discipline.The provisions of the Xia Dynasty on the punishment of officials for violating the law and discipline can be said to be the earliest provisions on corruption crimes in ancient Chinese criminal law.

After the Shang Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty enacted an important code "Lu Xing", which stipulated five kinds of duty crimes for judicial officials-"only officials, only anti, only internal, only goods, only to come", among which "only goods" And "Weilai" respectively refer to extortion, bribery and acceptance of entrustment, corruption and breaking the law, all of which are subject to trial and punishment.

"To call all the virtuous and talented people here today is to discuss the responsibility of "faint and dark"," Wei Duan looked around, "I hope you can speak freely and work together..."

Guo Tu glanced at Feng Ji, and it happened that Feng Ji also looked at Guo Tu. The two of them met each other's eyes and understood each other.

Wei Duan dares to talk about the general direction, or in other words, anyone dares.It's like talking about anti-corruption and promoting integrity on stage, who wouldn't say it?Singing high-pitched, isn't that voice high-pitched?

But when it comes to "responsibility", when it comes to specific details, naturally there is no voice.

Wei Duan was unwilling and did not dare to talk about the details, because no matter whether it was set high, low, or neither high nor low, it was troublesome, so Wei Duan took a theoretical approach at the beginning. The framework went to fool Feiqian, but it was like taking an outline to fool the editor, and then the editor, er, Feiqian called back.

After all, you can be deceived with just an outline. Uh, those who signed the contract and got the money are only those few people, and Wei Duan is naturally not among them, so in desperation, it can only be "collective efforts". As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, Everyone unanimously proposed that even if the board falls, some of it should be distributed, so that it will not all fall on one's own buttocks.

But "everyone" is not stupid.

When a person thinks that others are sand sculptures, he is often himself a sand sculpture, and when he suspects that he may be a sand sculpture, it is often because he is thinking too much, and other people do not think so.

So when Wei Duan hoped to have a "sand sculpture" to act as the big head, he found that the biggest head was still on his head, and the rest of the people were silent, just like what Wei Duan said just now. A bunch, and then all did not hear the same.

"Cough cough..." Seeing this, Wei Duan coughed twice, seeming to cough up the unspeakable embarrassment, then put on a smiling face, and began to roll the roll, "Guo Shenlu, what do you think?"Can you have any good words and good policies? 』

Guo Tu cursed in his heart, his face remained motionless.

Seeing my newcomer, is it easy to bully?
Wei Duan seemed to be very kind with a grin. It was full of encouragement and expectation, and he almost said that everyone should applaud together, and classmate Guo was invited to speak.

Just because you are a newcomer, who do you bully if you don’t bully?
The Han Dynasty also had laws against corruption, and they were much more detailed and clear than those in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. I won’t mention those who received money from others, and those who distorted the interpretation of the law. For example, it must be predicted two seconds in advance, otherwise It is responsible; those who bend the law based on personal interests, such as the one who knew the result of drunk driving and kept him from getting a blood test; what else used his power to steal the property of the country he controlled and managed, embezzled public funds and property to sell officials and nobles and many more……

So it's not that there are no rules, nor is there no law, but that the people above take the lead in not obeying, not implementing, or exempting the law with the help of power. For example, Emperor Han Ling took the lead in selling officials and nobles. He chirped a hundred times?

Can Guo Tu give an answer?Obviously impossible.Even if there was an answer, Guo Tu would not say it, so Guo Tu said that it was hard to say because he was a newcomer and the situation was unclear.

Wei Duan asked Feng Ji again, and Feng Ji also said that he was ignorant, and his situation was unknown, so it was hard to say.

Ask anyone, everyone will shake their heads, let anyone speak, and everyone will be humble.

In the end, Wei Duan couldn't keep the smile on his face, and he was furious, and asked everyone to go back and write a detailed rule, which would be handed in three days later, and those who didn't submit it would be dismissed from office!
When Fei Qian heard what happened to Wei Duan in the Senate, he couldn't help but sneered.

Who is this for?
But it doesn't matter, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to make a decision in a day or two, anyway, it's almost enough to slowly guide it to the direction Fei Qian wants...

Maybe some people will say it's simple, just kill. Where did so many Madonna thinking or unreasonable thinking come from?

According to the most common concept of the people at the bottom, is it the easiest and most convenient to find a corrupt official and kill another?Then who will discover these corrupt officials?The so-called mutual protection between officials and officials seems to be impossible for officials to discover and supervise, so it is for the common people to discover. After all, the eyes of the masses are discerning, and the judgments of the common people are fair...

Is it true?
The authority is at the top, and the people at the top do not abide by the rules. If the authority is delegated to the people, will the ordinary people of the people abide by the rules?

There's a saying that seems to be widespread, "I don't agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." 』This sentence is very popular, and almost every quoter indicates that it is a famous quote said by Voltaire. In some forums, some people regard this sentence as a talisman for their unscrupulous speech, and even use this Sentences to mock or attack other netizens who are discussing with them.But in fact, did Voltaire himself, known as the "Father of French Thought", really say this sentence?
No, it's what "Voltaire's Friends" said...

Therefore, it reflects a very interesting phenomenon. Will ordinary people really care about it and track down the truth?
The more ordinary a person is, the more he only thinks about the truth he wants.

For example, the Luo Guanjun incident, corporal punishment of an asthmatic woman, Dr. Deyang An...

When later generations delegate the power to comment freely and not to bear any responsibility to ordinary people, how many people will realize that this is a precious and not lightly used power?And which online perpetrator is responsible for his words and deeds?At most, they silently deleted their own remarks, and even some people, even after knowing the truth at the end, still insisted on what they said at the beginning, "Why don't you die" and so on. It's just a "perhaps inappropriate expression" of "Justice", I don't think I need to apologize to anyone...

So obviously, whenever there is a question of authority, there will be a question of humanity.Human nature needs to be supervised, but who will be the supervisor, and who will supervise itself?
Even when most of the later generations are out of illiteracy and have a certain amount of knowledge and social cognition, when the emotions of the mob are ignited, the truth of many events is not the point.

So is it possible for Fei Potential to delegate authority to ordinary people?
Obviously it doesn't work.

Therefore, at the moment, what Fei Qian can do is to make adjustments by the people above, and then promote it to the bottom. It is not realistic to implement those things that Wang Mang did in the feudal dynasty.

Fei Qian is now going to pass Zuo Fengyi's disaster relief, grab the guy's claws and hooves exposed, so it's like following the vine to find the melon, there must be a vine to come out to find the melon.

Cai Yan obviously failed to comprehend Fei Qian's thinking. The things reported in the past two days are all for showing merit. It is said that this girl is doing well, and that official is also doing very well. Perhaps in Cai Yan's heart, everyone is a good person , are all meritorious, even helping to sharpen ink and bring water or something is also credit.

Or maybe Cai Yan was too embarrassed to put his subordinates on the fire.But the problem is that if the subordinates are not put on the shelf, then there is a high possibility that they will be put on the shelf and grilled.

Cai Yan's knowledge is undoubtedly top-notch, but things in the officialdom are not only knowledgeable, but must be strong.At least Wei Duan knew how to make a play, but Cai Yan didn't understand it at all.

Cai Yan's temperament may be like this, so if we want Supervisor Zhi Yin to meet Fei Qian's needs, we must either replace her, or add some assistants to her to handle those embarrassing things for Cai Yan, or those who feel uncomfortable. Easy to do.

"Wang's daughter-in-law, how about making it a compilation?" ’ Fei Qian knocked on the table and asked Zaozhi, ‘There is also Chunyu’s family, and they are also mentioned as compilations...’

Among Zhi Yin's supervisors, the post of editing and writing, which was originally a deputy, is vacant and has not been appointed.As for Wang Zheng, judging from his performance that day, he must be much stronger than Cai Yan. Although the people who went to Langya have not returned yet, after all, the road is chaotic and it is not easy to go, but let Wang Zheng temporarily It seems that it is a good idea to come out and assist Cai Yan, so that Jian Zhiyin can really get on the right track.

On the one hand, Chunyuying is a doctor, who can carry out the prevention and control of the plague after the disaster. On the other hand, Chunyuying can also be used to cover Cai Yan and Wang Heng, and attract some attention.

It's just that Cai Yan is arranged, Fei Qian says it's fine, but if you want to use Wang Heng to do some things, especially let Wang Heng do some things that Cai Yan can't do, you have to find Zaoyi more or less, and show a little attitude. Saying that she quietly used other people's wives without even saying a word, then isn't it similar to the old Wang next door...

Uh, although the metaphor is not appropriate, it probably means something like this.

Zaozhi looked at Fei Qian, his eyes made Fei Qian feel like he was looking at the old king next door, "My lord's meaning is..."
