Some people are born to be protagonists!
On the stage of the world, you can display your talents freely.
The protagonists in each era are different. You sing and I appear on stage, leaving a strong mark in history.
The emperor of Zhou in the past, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, the kings of the Warring States, and the most indispensable Luo family.
After thousands of years of accumulation, Luo broke out in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Starting from the end of the Qin Dynasty, for nearly two hundred years, Luo has been one of the most conspicuous protagonists on the stage. It can even be said that he has always been the leading actor.
Now Luo Yi comes out with the general trend. He says that he is alone, but people in the world don't think so!
Even though the world doesn't know him as the head of the Luo family, he is respected by everyone!
Just standing in Chang'an, he was like a towering mountain, as if thunder and storms were sweeping over him in his breath.
He shouted in Chang'an and issued an edict to seek talents. His voice was heard above the turbulent waves, and passionate scholars from all over the world flocked to him.
He looked at Guanzhong. Even though his face was calm, the ministers and subordinates were still trembling, worried that old stories would be brought up.
At the palace night banquet, he showed no hesitation, and even the princes, kings and eldest princess did not dare to speak.
This is what the Luo family's top prestige can bless the head of the family. This is the prestige possessed by the mysterious Zhao Gong, which is even far beyond the expectations of everyone in the Luo family.
Luo Yi's move to purge officials came quickly and urgently, like thunder breaking in the sky.
In Chang'an and Guanzhong, officials who were found to be illegal, oppressed good deeds, hurt people and killed people would die.
For such officials, Luo Yi did not think they could correct themselves, and the only way out was death.
Even if there are people from families such as the Lu family and the Han family, if they are guilty of serious evil, Luo Yi will still kill them, but after killing them, he will recruit some more people from these families.
It is impossible for Luo Yi to reform so much that he would lose all his allies. The situation has not reached that level yet.
As for minor crimes, they are punished according to the law and accept reports from each other among colleagues. Those who report true will be exempted from guilt, and those who report untrue will be punished.
In addition to checking for bugs among the officials, Luo Yi began to cultivate a team of officials who could handle everything at once. He valued local officials more than the central court.
Because he is in the central court, no one can make troubles. However, local officials are far away from the emperor. If they are really greedy for profit, they may not worry about Luo Yi.
If something was really done, even Luo Yi would not have time to deal with it.
Scholars from all over the country were arranged by him into counties and counties. Those who obeyed were promoted, and those who refused were demoted.
Such an approach will naturally arouse criticism from some people.
"Is the Prime Minister being too domineering?"
Someone asked this question, thinking that he was speaking out for justice, and then Luo Yi retorted directly, "When people's families were destroyed, they never felt that they were overbearing. Now that they are just asking for the lives of some unjust officials, do you think that you are overbearing?"
I once heard that if you throw a stone into a pile of dogs, the one that barks the loudest is the one that gets hit. You must be such a person, right? "
So after an investigation, it turned out that the family had occupied hundreds of acres of fertile land from Guanzhong people, and was carrying several lives on their backs.
From the time he "speaks for justice" to the time he was imprisoned, it only took three days. This efficiency made everyone who was previously dissatisfied calm down, and instantly no one came forward to criticize Luo Yi.
"Is this the power of the Prime Minister?"
The silence in the world was unsettling, and some people lamented it, but Luo Yi felt it was very reasonable to do such a thing, so the officials in the world became increasingly silent.
The world was under Luo Yi's high pressure, and the officials were trembling.
The bureaucrats tried to use the universal method to remove Luo Yi by influencing the emperor.
"The Luo family has many relatives and friends in Guandong. Now the prime minister has placed scholars in various counties in the world. The people only know that there is a prime minister, but they don't know that there is Emperor Lingyou.
Does this world belong to the Liu family or the Luo family?
The favor should come from Your Majesty. I am really worried about Your Majesty. "
This is not just one person saying this, but many people, including Liu's clan members and relatives, are people who are relatively close to the emperor.
Such sounds were like a tide, rushing towards the emperor and Luo Yi in waves.
Such heart-breaking words made the atmosphere in Chang'an and even the whole world tense.
Luo's status has always been a very sensitive issue, especially since the two parties were no longer so close.
This is a thunder between the two parties.
I just didn't expect that it would be brought up at this time, and the target of the attack could be said to be directed at Luo Yi.
This kind of question is the most heart-wrenching conspiracy. As long as the emperor is normal, he will definitely be wary and have to react. Otherwise, where is the power of the emperor?
But Emperor Liu Yang was not a normal emperor. His reaction was far beyond the expectations of the people of the world. He not only ignored these suggestions, but even issued an edict specifically to reprimand these remarks.
"I have always known, and all the late emperors have known, that from the moment King Zhaosheng crowned Emperor Gao, people in the world have been thinking about whether the world belongs to the Liu family or the Luo family.
I even know that although I respect the position of the Son of Heaven and am the emperor, with everything under heaven and everyone under the sky, under the sky, under the king and the emperor, the highest and the most holy, I should be able to kill him, but in fact, it is impossible for me to kill Duke Zhao.
The common people of the world do not support it, the Yuan Cong Zhuxun of the Han Dynasty does not support it, and the scholars of the world do not support it.
What else is there to say?
The fact is here, hiding it is like fear. Aren't the eyes of the world bright?
What's the use of hiding it?
I know that there have been rumors among the people that the Liu family and the Luo family share the world. I am sitting on the throne, I am sitting on the throne of the emperor, and Zhaogong is sitting beside me.
When I first heard it, I felt very angry, but when I thought about it carefully, what was wrong with it?
I say here, Luo and Liu share the world, that’s it.
Now that Zhaogong is the Prime Minister, I only give you trust. Moreover, I see that the Prime Minister's handling of those officials who are corrupt, pervert the law, and care about human lives is all justified and without any compromise.
Only by firmly supporting the Prime Minister can the Han Dynasty be stable.
Some of you hate the Prime Minister and are afraid of the Prime Minister, so they want to trap me and make me angry.
If anyone tries to sow discord between me and Duke Zhao in the future, I will definitely kill him without mercy. "
Once this decree spread, it was like imposing silence on the world.
Although there have always been rumors among the people that Luo and Liu share the world, but when it comes from the emperor's mouth, it gives people a weird feeling.
Is this just ruined?
Don't you want to compete with Luo Shi?
Do you still have any ambition?
Emperor Liu Yang's thinking is different from that of most people. So what if they share the world?
I, the Liu family, have ruled the world for nearly two hundred years. Until now, the throne is as stable as Mount Tai, and besides the Luo family, everything in the world is life and death in the palm of my hand. When I get angry, the world is afraid. I have read history books many times. How many kings are there with such power?
The greatest benefit in the world has been obtained by me, Mr. Liu, so what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
The Qin Dynasty did not share the world with the Luo family, and it would be over in more than ten years.
It’s obvious who loses and who wins!
Although no one understood Liu Yang's thinking, the emperor's meaning was obvious. He firmly supported Luo Yi's reforms.
In this authoritarian era, as long as the emperor does something without scruples, it will never fail.
Luo Yi handles officialdom skillfully. His other abilities may not be as good as those of those with extraordinary talents, but handling officialdom is too easy for him.
Time passes slowly in this.
…
In Changle Palace.
The emperor looked at the memorial handed over with joy. The effect of refreshing the official administration was so obvious. Even without any reforms, just by refreshing the official administration, the world's atmosphere immediately improved.
"Prime Minister, I really don't know what to say. You have only been in charge for two years, but the results are so obvious. It is really unbelievable to me. If you could come to Chang'an as soon as possible, how could the disaster of the past have happened?
There was no expression on Luo Yi's face. He knew that what he was doing now was just a paper framer.
At most, it can only slow down the slide of this world into a deeper abyss. It is completely a kind of strongman politics.
Luo Yi said in a deep voice: "The effect is good because the administration was really bad before. It can be seen how bad the world's atmosphere is.
They lie on the ground sucking blood, but there is no output. Now they are just stopping the blood sucking.
If we want to truly improve the situation, we need follow-up reforms. This is really the hardest part. Even those who support us now will oppose us. "
There are countless political documents in the family, which contain countless reforms and reforms. Luo Yi takes history as a guide and knows what he will face in the future, which is ubiquitous opposition.
The emperor put away the smile on his face and said solemnly: "Prime Minister, I will do whatever you say, I am willing to obey you."
————
The history of the Han Dynasty includes extreme prosperity, decline and destruction. It reached its peak because of people and fell into trough because of people.
But in the era of Emperor Han Mourning, the decline of the Han Dynasty was because the shortcomings of the dynasty itself had penetrated deep into the bones, but the ruling class of the Han Dynasty had not yet fallen into drunkenness and dreams.
The ruling class realized that this shortcoming would plunge the dynasty into the abyss, so they launched a vigorous self-rescue movement. This is the famous "Lingyou Reform" in history! ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
