Change stereotypes and pay attention to practical results
The paper tile coffin buried the emperor.
Guo Wei and Zhou Taizu were the emperors who cared most about the people and paid most attention to practical results in the late Tang and Five Dynasties. Many things that others can't do.
At the beginning of his reign, he fiddled with dozens of jewels and jades in Yin Di Palace, moved them to the front hall and smashed them with stones, and declared: "Being an emperor can't have such things. It is said that Yin Di plays with his concubines every day, and Pearl Baby never leaves his hand. His experience is our mirror! " He warned the left and right not to bring anything gorgeous and shiny into the palace. [95 1.2] The emperor learned that there were dozens of precious jade articles in the Han Palace, which were broken into pieces in the court. He said: "Anyone who is an emperor can use this thing with confidence! It is said that Yin Di Day in the Han Dynasty played with pets in the forbidden area, and the treasures were inseparable. This is not far away, take a warning! " It's better to stay with you, since now, nothing precious and enjoyable has entered the palace.
In the past, it was forbidden to buy and sell salt and distiller's yeast without permission, even if it was only a little, it was necessary to behead it. There is a civilian in Zhengzhou. The government bought his house, paid the price with salt, crossed the city and was detained. Without asking why, he said that he was selling salt and was taken to the execution ground for execution. The wife complained to the emperor. When Guo Wei learned of the situation, he rehabilitated the man, changed the law, and sold more smuggled salt at a cost of five catties, without pursuing one or two, which was much more flexible than in the past. [95 1.6] According to the law of China, whoever commits smuggling salt will drown, no matter how much. Zhengzhou citizens have been taxed by officials for crossing the city. Officials thought it was smuggling salt, so they killed them, and their wives sued unfairly. Shame on ugliness, guilty of salt smashing, sentenced to two pounds.
In view of the lesson of the knife and pencil litigant who abused power for personal gain, Taizu wrote: "The people should go to court step by step, first to the county, then to the state, and then to the Yushitai. They can't go to heaven to find the emperor one step at a time, which will confuse the court." The plaintiff can't read, so please ask someone to write a petition and sign the name and birthplace of the ghostwriter. If no one can be invited, the plaintiff will take a blank piece of paper and dictate it in the hall, which will be recorded by the clerk. The plaintiff's appeal must be his own business, and it is not allowed to appeal on behalf of others. "In this way, it will not be so convenient for those who only rely on lawsuits to make a living. 952.10 ﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀ᥬᥬᥬᥬ If you don't listen to the province directly, or if you can't write a book yourself, you have to write your name and address. If there is no doubt, listen to the newspaper. Complaints must be your own business, and you must never complain in private. "
Zhang Hou, the retired ambassador of China, sent a thousand silk handkerchiefs and five hundred and twenty pieces of silver as "banquet money" to the court at the end of the year. It turned out that after the Five Dynasties, the emperor often held banquets. He didn't want to pay, so he suggested that the local princes and court ministers would pay sponsorship fees and how much gold and silk someone would give for banquets. The courtiers will only give more to please the emperor. Anyway, it was scraped from ordinary people, and it became a system over time. Zhang Hou has retired for a long time. Remember this rule and contribute on time. Taizu sent someone back to tell him: "The son of heaven gave a banquet to entertain the minister, and the son of heaven wanted to pay for it. How can the minister pay for the banquet? " This strange thing won't happen again. "[952.12] Hou bought a thousand banquet silks and five hundred and twenty pieces of silver. The emperor refused to accept, saying, "The princes should hold a banquet on pilgrimage, and don't set evil! Don't accept any such comparison from now on. "
Laizhou secretariat Ye is an old subordinate of Guo Wei, who embezzled 15,000 silk scarves and paid a bribe of 1,000 yuan, and was granted the death penalty. Guo Wei sent eunuchs to Ye's house with wine and food and told him, "If you violate the laws of the country, I can't protect you. I will take care of my mother after you die. " Ye Luren was moved to tears and committed suicide by taking poison. [953. 1] Ye Luren, a secretariat of Laizhou and an official of the emperor, took fifteen thousand pieces of stolen silk and spent thousands of dollars. Gengwu, give death. The emperor sent Ambassador China to give him wine and food, saying, "If you get to the national law, I will be fine. Be nice to your mother. " Lu people feel tears.
On the eve of his transfer, Chang Si, our envoy of the times, reported to Mao: "I lent a batch of materials to farmers in Songzhou, and agreed to repay them after the new silk was listed in May, totaling 42,000 silk." I'm leaving now, and I want to contribute this new batch of silk to the emperor. Please send someone to get it. "Guo Wei nodded slightly and agreed. After Chang Si left, he sent a letter to Song Zhou, and Chang Si-fang's loan was completely exempted and never paid back. [953.5] When he returned to Germany as a minister, he often thought about going to the DPRK and moved to Pinglu in the fifth day. Then the commander-in-chief said, "I am in Songzhou, holding more than 40 thousand taels of silk in my hand among the people." I want to go up and ask. " The emperor held his head high. In May, Ding Hai made a list of Songzhou, and Chang Si wrote down all the silk he had raised. Those who lost it were returned to him without any worries.
Since the late Tang Dynasty, wars have continued, schools at all levels have been abandoned, books have been lost in large quantities, and books collected by aristocratic bureaucrats have been looted and burned. Emperors of various dynasties deal with wars every day. How can they care about culture and education? During the period of Li Siyuan in Tang Dynasty, Prime Ministers Feng Dao and Li Yu asked the host imperial academy to collate the Nine Classics and carve them into plates for sale. This project is extremely huge. It started in 932 AD, went through the later Tang Dynasty, the later Jin Dynasty and the later Han Dynasty, and was not completed until 953 AD, the time of the late Zhou Dynasty. Mao immediately ordered the printing, and the Nine Classics was widely circulated. [953.6] At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Prime Ministers Feng Dao and Li Yu asked imperial academy to correct the Nine Classics, and the court complied. Ding Si, Board Cheng, present it. So despite the troubled times, the Nine Classics spread widely.
Zhou Taizu suffered from rheumatism, so he couldn't eat or walk, so he called Chai Rong to explain it. [953.9] Since autumn, the emperor has suffered from wind arthralgia and his diet is harmful. The emperor enjoyed the ancestral temple and was crowned by Yan. He crawled left and right, and he could only give up one room. He bowed his head, unable to bow down any longer, and ordered Kim to do the last ceremony. It's evening now, and I'm staying in the southern suburbs, and my condition is particularly severe. After several rescues, the night is getting smaller.
Chai Rong is the nephew of Queen Chai. She grew up with her aunt and is very capable. His uncle dotes on him more than his own son, and intends to ask him to inherit the throne and make him the king of Jin and the magistrate of Kaifeng.
Mao took him by the hand and told him carefully, "When I conquered Li Shouzhen in Chang 'an, I saw that the tombs of eighteen emperors in the Tang Dynasty were all dug up. There is no other reason, but there is treasure buried in the grave. Don't do this after I die. Make clothes out of paper, put the body in a pottery coffin, and bury it on the same day, instead of staying in the palace. Don't lay stones around the grave, but use adobe. Craftsmen pay for their labor and don't disturb the people. No underground palace, no special grave keeper, no stone man and horse in front of the grave. Only a monument will be erected, which reads: "Emperor Zhou was frugal all his life, and ordered people to make coffins out of paper, clothes and tiles, and his descendants did not dare to disobey. You have to listen to me. If you violate it, I won't bless you and give you a headache. " [954. 1] The emperor repeatedly warned the King of Jin, saying, "Yesterday when I was on the Western Expedition, I saw that all the diggers of the 18th Mausoleum of the Tang Dynasty were there, but there were many treasures. When I die, I will be wrapped in paper and wrapped in a tile coffin; Camp and bury quickly, and don't replace the useless stones in Kurumiya cave with bottles; Both labor and service are employed, without wasting people and money; After the burial, nearly 30 family members of Ling Min were carried out for them to see; Instead of building a palace, guarding the palace gate, being a stone sheep, a tiger, a man or a horse, he carved a stone in front of the mausoleum and stood in a cloud:' The Emperor of Zhou lived frugally all his life, but his paper clothes and earth coffins did not dare to be disobeyed by his descendants.' If you or I violate it, I won't bless you! "
Zhou Taizu was only 5 1 year old when he died. After Chai Rong, King of Jin, acceded to the throne, he did everything according to his uncle's orders, without red tape. Such a simple funeral is probably the only one among the emperors in China. [954.1] That was the day when the emperor died in Zide Hall ... Wang Jin [Chai Rong] was the emperor.
