Chapter 337
"Family affection is the biggest bond in this world, because of family affection and law, people are imprisoned!"
"My way to curb corrupt officials is to start with relatives!"
If it weren't for the Dingguo Mansion, the defense of Chang'an would never have been won, because he would never take risks and would have slipped away to the south of the Yangtze River.
He even set fire to Chang'an City and muddied the waters.
But the Dingguo Mansion's desperate fight made him stay.
This is the power of family affection!
The so-called collective responsibility, the deterrent power lies here, when a crime is considered to involve relatives, this must be considered carefully.
Hiss!
In an instant.
Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er both took a breath of cold air, they looked at Gao Yang in disbelief, and their hearts trembled together.
Family affection is the most powerful weapon in this world, Gao Yang, the living devil, wants to start with family affection?
Even though Wu Zhao was looking for a way to curb corrupt officials, she had to say that this move was too cruel!
"You want me to kill all nine clans of these corrupt officials? One person is corrupt, and all nine clans are gone?"
Wu Zhao was shocked.
Gao Yang is worthy of his reputation as a living devil, and this method is too cruel.
This method is definitely enough to deter, but how many people will be killed?
Within the three clans, there will be no relatives, and within the nine clans, there will be no relatives, relatives, and all acquaintances!
Shangguan Wan'er said, "Your Majesty, three clans, three clans are enough."
"If the nine clans are killed, how many people will be killed, and there may be a lot of turmoil!"
The voice fell.
Gao Yang couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Lord Shangguan, you are too cruel to kill three or nine clans at will."
"Such cruel behavior will definitely leave a name of tyrant in the history books!"
Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er blushed.
Then, Wu Zetian said unhappily, "Didn't you ask me to start with family affection? If this is not to punish his three clans and nine clans, then what is it?"
"How else can we curb it?"
Gao Yang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, severe punishment is the lowest level of means, and it is easy to cause unrest."
"Any means targeting the body are not enough to make people afraid, so we still have to start with human nature."
"Take Cui Zhuangyuan as an example. If Cui Zhuangyuan is corrupt, then his three generations of descendants, and even the entire Cui family, will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, let alone serve as officials in the court, no matter how talented and capable he is!"
"Because his ancestors for three generations were corrupt officials, he could not pass the court trial, so he was not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations!"
Buzz!
In an instant, Wu Zetian's eyes widened.
Shangguan Wan'er was also shocked, with horror in her eyes.
Gao Yang's move was a bit too cruel.
Now, the whole seven countries are all prevalent in the trend of reading. As for the reason, it is very simple. There are only minor frictions among the seven countries, and there is no major friction.
So when the path of promotion by military merit is blocked, there is only one way left, that is the imperial examination!
All things are inferior, only reading is superior!
This is a true portrayal of the present. Once it is really done as Gao Yang said, the corruption of corrupt officials will bring disaster to future generations!
But this move has not yet caused the turmoil of Daqian by killing three clans and nine clans.
Wu Zhao's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
This method, she is a little tempted.
It must be said that Gao Yang is really mean.
Where did he come up with such a bad move?
"Your Majesty, in addition to this law, you can also issue a decree to encourage the descendants of officials to report their official fathers. Anyone who reports and provides evidence can get half of the family property once it is verified!"
"Besides psychological satisfaction, corrupt officials embezzle money for the sake of extravagant enjoyment in life. In simple terms, they are lustful, so they will definitely have many children. This brings us back to the system of primogeniture."
"These second sons don't get much money, and some even live a miserable life, but don't they know whether their fathers are greedy or not? In this way, once this law is promulgated, many filial sons will surely emerge."
"Your Majesty can completely reap the benefits and take the opportunity to make a fortune!"
Boom!
Wu Zhao only felt her head buzzing.
She looked at Gao Yang with an incredible look on her face.
Shangguan Wan'er took a breath of cold air.
The Enfeoffment Order used the unfairness of the primogeniture system, and now Gao Yang used this method to punish corrupt officials.
Some second sons don’t have much status, but as Gao Yang said, others may not know whether their fathers are greedy or not, but how can they not know?
If they report it, they can get half of the family property, which will definitely give birth to some filial sons who are willing to sacrifice their relatives for the sake of family property!
This is also human nature!
“Good!”
“Good, good, good!”
Wu Zhao said several good words in a row, which was enough to show her inner excitement.
“In terms of viciousness, it’s you, Gao Yang, who is the most vicious.Yang."
"Once this reporting method is released, these corrupt officials will be in a panic."
Shangguan Wan'er also said with a complicated expression, "In the way of poisonous schemes, Lord Gao has never disappointed anyone."
First, the family ties were tied, which affected the imperial examinations of future generations, and then a ruthless report was made to divide the family property.
For these corrupt officials, it was like the sky was falling.
It even made them nowhere to hide!
Gao Yang smiled and bowed, "Your Majesty and Lord Shangguan are too kind!"
"However, if Your Majesty wants to use this method, the West Factory and the Censorate must check and balance each other and monitor Daqian from top to bottom."
"Those who report without evidence must be severely punished, and even skinned, otherwise it will make all officials feel insecure, which is not good. Since ancient times, this reporting method has always had advantages and disadvantages."
Wu Zhao nodded, a strong glow burst out on her face, and she said, "I know this. "
"The Western Factory is inevitable, and I have already started preparations."
Then, Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang and said, "Mr. Gao, what about the local officials who do nothing but embezzle their salaries and exploit the people?"
"Do you have any ideas?"
