Chapter 96 Legalist Haechi
"In the first year of Ming Jiaqi, a new emperor ascended the throne.

The entire process of power alternation went smoothly, but the situation in the imperial court did not quickly return to stability because of this, but became more and more treacherous.

At that time, the leader of the Xindonglin Party and the eunuch in charge of the ceremony were appointed as assistant ministers at the same time.

The Xindonglin Party, which was walking on thin ice during Emperor Wu's period, finally had enough power to speak, and had the capital to wrestle with the supervisor of ceremonies.

As soon as the two sides opened up their postures and arranged their chariots and horses, the opportunity for a fight appeared in due course.

The fuse that detonated everything was the national policy of criminal districts implemented by Emperor Longwu in spite of all opinions - grabbing water and soil in all directions and nourishing the heritage of Shenzhou.

The strictness of this national policy can be seen through just the word 'grab'.

The heavy tax pressure made the people in the prisoner area boil with resentment, and the blockade of the criminals by the Ming Dynasty official system made many ambitious people dissatisfied.

Therefore, after the death of Emperor Longwu, Dongying, Annan, Sulu, Siam, Mancigara, Zhanbei and other criminal areas began to move around.

The joint letter requested to open the border barrier between the empire and the criminal area, and to transform the criminal area into a province, so that they can exchange what they need and come and go freely.

He even proposed to abolish the title of criminals, give criminals the same treatment as imperial civilians, open up imperial examinations, and allow barbarians to enter official careers.

At that time, the imperial Honglu Temple was in charge of the management of the criminal area, and the power was in the hands of the chief inspector.

However, the Supervisor of Rituals has always respected "the supremacy of Ming people", and he simply dismissed the request of the criminal district.

Simply think that it is just people with a series of political strategists who are sowing discord, inciting these unruly people to make trouble, and just let the general soldiers stationed there send troops to suppress it.

The New Donglin Party brought out the Confucian sage's theory that "there is no distinction between teaching and learning", and believed that since Emperor Longwu had changed the vassal state into a criminal area and brought it under the jurisdiction of the empire, then the criminal area was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and all the criminals should also be the people of the empire.

The first emperor opened up the territory with guns, and the new emperor should naturally show his kindness with literary rule.

Only by persuading these barbarians to naturalize with the imperial rule of law can they reflect the style of the holy dynasty, realize the unity of the four seas, and the unity of the world.

The two forces have expressed completely different attitudes on how to deal with the joint petition in the criminal area.

There is also a lot of public opinion in the empire.

The leader of the Xindonglin Party and the eunuch, the chief inspector of ceremonies and the eunuch who are both auxiliary ministers of the empire, even quarreled in the cabinet.

One rolls up his sleeves, the other grabs the crown. They are obviously top figures in their respective sequences, but they scuffle together like a broken skin in a market.

A vast sea of ​​memorials poured into the Huangliang host of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but it has not been approved by the new emperor for a long time.

With such an ambiguous attitude, Confucianism immediately sensed the opportunity, and immediately began to prepare for an all-round attack on the Supervisor of Rites.

This kicked off the sensational "Great Dynasty Debate" in the Ming Empire.

Legalists, as the editors of the Daming law, hold the authority to control the Huangliang legal realm of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the "Three Legal Divisions" of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In this mighty "Great Dynasty Debate", it naturally became the target of the Supervisor of Rites and the Xindonglin Party.

Due to the requirements of the sequence of etiquette, most of the Legalists are upright and upright.

Even because of the opposition of ideas, the Legalists tended to be more inclined to the side of the supervisor of ceremonies.

But during this period, a major event happened that outraged the entire Legalist sequence.

A Legalist Xu Qili official who secretly investigated the corruption of the Supervisor of Rites was assassinated, and all the witnesses and evidence at the scene pointed to the number one vicious dog under the Supervisor of Rites-Dongchang.

The supervisor of ceremonies couldn't argue with his mouth, and before he had time to prove his innocence, the Xindonglin Party had already started to add fuel to the fire.

Local officials in the 13 provinces of the two capitals of the empire reported a large number of crimes against the Eastern and Western factories, falsely murdered Zhongliang, tried officials for good at interrogating officials, and abused evidence of lynching.

The ruling and opposition parties were in an uproar.

Many voices of dissatisfaction erupted within the legalists who were touched by Nilin.

Many enthusiastic Legalist officials put aside their ideological disputes, chose to stand with Confucianism, and agreed to join forces to launch an attack on the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

And these are just undercurrents surging under the table.

On the bright side, Confucianism has joined forces with Taoism and Buddhism to complete the first deduction of the domestication of the barbarians.

When a barbarian wearing Ming clothes, speaking the standard Ming Dynasty official language, and even mastering the sequence ability of Confucian Eight Gentlemen kneeled down on the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The eunuch who bowed and waited next to the new emperor, the chief inspector of ceremonies, immediately looked mournful, and his forehead was sweating like rain.

He didn't expect that this group of bastards with pens would not hesitate to lure barbarians into the Ming Dynasty and steal the Shenzhou sequence in order to drive him to extinction.

The leader of the Xindonglin Party led a group of ministers to speak out, listing ten crimes against the chief inspector, including recruiting soldiers, scorning ancestors, deceiving the emperor and disobediently, and exploiting criminals.

The inspector of ceremonies, who had been in power for a while, slipped into the abyss.

With the help of legalist judicial power, the Xindonglin Party held a knife in one hand and a wat in the other, and set off a bloody purge in the empire.

At that time, Le Zhong, who was far away in Chengdu, had just been promoted to the eighth rank of the Fa. A pioneer of Legalism made an exception and personally determined the quality for him.

Originally, with this comment, Le Zhong's official career can be said to be smooth, and riding the wind is just around the corner.

A successful young man is naturally proud of his spring breeze.

When people are in high spirits, they simply cannot understand that too many words will lead to mistakes, and the disaster comes from these old-fashioned words.

After reading the entire record of the "Great Dynasty Debate", Le Zhong resolutely pointed out in Huangliang's legal environment that Legalists intervened in party disputes, which violated the original intention of the law.

If the criminals are dissatisfied and intend to rebel, they will fight.Confucianism has attracted barbarians, counting the classics and forgetting the sect, so it should be killed!

It is not only necessary to suppress criminals, but also to reform the administration of officials and clean up the tired and lazy behavior of today's officials.

Such remarks are put on ordinary days, and many high-ranking legalist officials in the Huangliang Law Realm at most laugh it off, thinking it is young people complaining.

But Confucianism, which destroyed the Supervisor of Rites at that time, had already begun to think about the Legalists, who were comrades-in-arms not long ago.

There is no other reason, the way is different, and it is always impossible to make a plan.

Without the Supervisor of Rituals, the Legalists who ruled the Law of the Ming Dynasty were the biggest obstacle to Confucianism.

Although my hut is small, it is outside the shadow of dragons and snakes, amidst the sound of wind and rain.

Le Zhong said something he shouldn't have said, and was included in the Confucian purge list, and soon disappeared completely in Chengdu Mansion.

Suspected of being captured by the Wu family, he was thrown into a private prison.

Life or death is unknown. "

The record about Le Zhong on the electronic copy ends here, and no more words appear.

Li Jun suddenly thought of the man with a harsh face but a candid smile, and the fingertips of his right hand were stroking the broken ruler in his sleeve back and forth.

After a long silence, he handed back the electronic file to the waiting staff of the Intelligence Department, turned around and walked out of the archives room of the Shu Road Logistics Intelligence Department.

Outside the door, Qian Zhongxiao had been waiting here for a long time, bowing to Li Jun with a smile on his face.

"Minister, this is the recent establishment of the Ministry of Security, please have a look."
