The Happy Prince of Tang Dynasty

However, those officials who jointly signed a letter asking Li Yuan to accept another concubine were unlucky, but in the end they also implicated some innocent victims.

Those officials asked Li Yuan to accept another concubine, so it was natural to have a female candidate.

Ever since, some officials' children who didn't even know about it were selected as candidates by these officials.

Of course, there are naturally some informed officials among them. They definitely hope that their daughters will be valued by Li Yuan. Since then, sparrows have become phoenixes, and these beauties have naturally become relatives of the emperor, and their status has been greatly improved.

As for their daughter's thoughts, it is no longer their concern.Although the children of their official families have a higher status than others, they also lost a lot at the same time. [

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

These women who were selected as candidates for concubines also suffered after the downfall of those officials, and the families of those women naturally suffered.

Those officials who didn't know their mother-in-law was selected as a concubine naturally suffered less serious crimes. If the account is wrong, don't care about it. After all, compared with Xiaoming, these are just trivial things.

And the fate of those officials who tried to sacrifice their daughters as concubines was not so simple.

First of all, thoroughly investigate the situation of these officials to see if there is anything illegal or criminal.If not, then these officials will be labeled as eager for quick success, and then go down with a piece of paper.They were dispatched to remote towns to serve.

Thinking about it, it is difficult for them to be promoted in this life.

Secondly, those officials who are guilty are convicted according to the circumstances.The lightest thing is to confiscate the family property and be demoted to a commoner; but the serious one is to have the body decapitated.

After experiencing these things, the dignitaries in Chang'an City also understood that they would rather offend Li Yuan.He didn't dare to offend Dou Xian either.

And the eunuchs and maids in the palace were even more trembling, fearing that they would offend Dou Xian.That's really incomprehensible.

After that, it was about Li Yuanba.

Don't look at Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, showing off his power and showing off his might, with the look of a fortress.However, Li Yuanji is actually very easy to talk to.

The reason why it is said that Li Yuanba was provoked and he narrowly escaped death.

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

Of course, among the Li family, except for Li Yuan, Dou Xian, Li Jiancheng, Li Xiuning, Li Shimin was only able to persuade Li Yuanba.The reason is that Li Shimin looks too polite.It is too different from Li Yuanba.Moreover, because of Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanba in this life did not experience any changes in the Yuwen family, nor did his temperament change greatly.

So, in comparison.Li Yuanba got closer to Li Jiancheng.Besides, Li Jiancheng also owed a lot of credit to Li Yuanba being able to be with Yang Jin.

Apart from the above people, only Yang Jin can persuade Li Yuanba when he is not angry. Once Li Yuanba is angry, Yang Jin is also useless.

Among the people of the Li family.Li Yuanji was the worst failure. Li Yuanba didn't even give a bird's-eye in his words.

By the way, once when Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji went to a restaurant for a drink, they happened to hear two scholars discussing their mother, Dou Xian, the queen of the Tang Empire.

Upon first hearing this, the expressions of Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji changed.And Li Yuanba was even more straightforward, rushing directly in front of the two of them, dragging them out of the restaurant.Without further ado, Li Yuanba pulled out the [Hunyuan Octagonal Weng Golden Hammer] that he carried with him, and with a single blow, a scholar died on the spot with his brains split. [

When the other scholar saw it, he was so frightened that his shit "pissed" profusely, fell to his knees, and kept begging for mercy.

It turned out that the two scholars might have drunk too much just now, so they began to talk about the current affairs of the Tang Empire, and they talked well at the beginning.However, for unknown reasons, one of the scholars lashed out at Dou Xian.What is said is that Li Yuangui is the king of a country, but there is only one queen like Dou Xian.In his opinion, Dou Xian must be narrow-minded and cannot tolerate her, so Li Yuan has not yet accepted a concubine.

Speaking of the excitement, he stood up and rolled up his sleeves, as if there was something bold to say.

However, before he could continue speaking, Li Yuanba came up to him and dragged the two of them out very straightforwardly.Moreover, before he could ask the reason, he was smashed to death by Li Yuanba with a hammer.

Literary inquisition, especially this kind of discourse commenting on current affairs, has existed in all dynasties.However, the most rare or can be said to be found in the history books is the Tang Dynasty.

For example, in "Hanshu", Yang Yun, the grandson of Sima Qian, was sentenced to beheaded on the charge of treason and immorality because of the "Book of Baosun Huizong" ordering "Emperor Xuan hated him when he saw it".

At the end of the former Wei Dynasty, Ji Kang was beheaded in Dongshi because of his "Letter of Breaking Friendship with Shan Juyuan" which made the ruler Sima Shi "hate it after hearing about it".

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, in June of the 11th year of the Northern Wei Taiping Zhenjun (AD 450), Cui Hao, the minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was appointed by Emperor Taiwu of the Wei Dynasty because he presided over the compilation of the "National History Zhishu" which revealed the history of shame and humiliation of the ancestors of the Tuoba clan, the ruler of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He ordered the family to be punished, and Cui Hao's in-laws, Fanyang Lu, Taiyuan Guo, and Hedong Liu, were also killed. They were called "the prison of national history" in history.

Su Shi, a great poet and lyricist in the Northern Song Dynasty, was once accused of "concealing evil intentions and slandering and abusing" in his poems, offending those in power, and was arrested and imprisoned for nearly five months.The main basis is several poems such as "Five Wonders of Mountain Village", "Looking at the "Tide" on August [-]th", "He Stated the Ancient Winter Peony".It is known as the "Wutai Poetry Case" in history.

In 1323 AD (Yuan Yingzong Zhizhi three years), Song Gongdi Zhao (pronounced xn), who was an eminent monk, remembered the Song Dynasty and wrote the following poem: Sending a message to Lin Hejing, how many times does the plum blossom bloom?The guests under the golden stage should not return.After reading this poem, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty thought that Zhao was "satiating the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River", and issued an imperial edict to bestow Zhao's death in Hexi.

As for Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, they were even more murderous because of the literary inquisition.Perhaps the behavior of the two offended the heavens, so the emperors after the Ming Dynasty were basically suppressed by literati.

It's a depressing life, it's really not humane!

The period when the literary inquisition reached its peak, needless to say, was during the Qing Dynasty.

Because they are grassland peoples who entered from outside the customs, they are always very sensitive in their hearts. They call themselves masters, and everyone except the royal family is slaves, just to cover up their psychological inferiority complex.

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, these two scholars commented on such things, and they were not guilty of death! (To be continued..)
