During this time, a web drama " Record of Strange Events in the Tang Dynasty " based on the era of Tang Ruizong won a pretty good reputation without any traffic stars or overwhelming publicity. The eight cases have a compact structure, and the plots are constantly reversed. Fu Huadao fully restored the Datang atmosphere, which immediately attracted the attention of many audiences.
In the unit of "God of God", Su Wuming, with the cooperation of the "Serious Case Team", tried his best to solve the case of God of God, and restored the peace of the people. Soon after, he was awarded the important position of Luozhou chief history. It stands to reason that being able to work in the eastern capital of Luoyang, which is second only to Chang'an , has an unlimited future. Su Wuming should be happy, but he is very annoyed, and he is determined not to wear the red official robe that represents his official rank. The reason is that, In his opinion, his position as governor of Los Angeles is not an officially recognized official position, but a " inclined official ". For such an official position, Su Wuming, who is upright by nature, absolutely cannot accept it, and directly throws his official robe on the on the ground.
Then, what is the origin of the "slanting officials" that Su Wuming despises? This has to start with Tang Zhongzong Li Xian who launched the " dragon coup " and successfully restored.
After the "Shenlong Coup", in the past few years when Zhongzong came to the throne, we found that the growth of greed, the debauchery of the palace, the expansion of ambition, and the struggle for power jointly constituted the chaos of this period.
Let's first look at the extent to which the number of officials was flooded during this period. A data shows that at the beginning of 706 AD, more than 2,000 foreign officials were appointed, and what is even more ridiculous is that more than 1,000 eunuchs were awarded official positions above the seventh rank. These officials, who are as numerous as leeks, have greatly exceeded the number of previous dynasties. Most of them are mediocre and incompetent people who have no ability to govern the country. Princess Anle and other people sold officials and nobles. The internal and external officials of the Tang court are like a market. All kinds of official ranks are all clearly marked. The imperial examinations in the country are even more tainted with copper stink. The truly talented and educated people are kept out of the gate, while the ignorant and incompetent occupy the key departments of the country.
If it is said that Wu Sansi and Empress Wei made a lot of money through a series of sales of officials and nobles, then as the jewel in Zhongzong's palm, Princess Anle's sales of officials to collect money is even worse. Almost stepped on the threshold of Princess Anle, and Princess Anle naturally spared no effort in accepting bribes. There are thousands of people who are responsible, probationary, probation, proofreading, judgment, and magistrates." When Princess Anle concealed the edict she had written in advance and took it to Zhongzong to sign, Zhongzong actually regarded it as a child's play I agreed without hesitation.
As the trend of selling officials and conferring titles intensified, the term "official officials obliquely" became a glaring label of the Zhongzong Dynasty. When Wu Sansi, Empress Wei, Zhongzong's princesses, and even Shangguan Wan'er's mother could beg Zhongzong to confer official positions on certain people, this is such an action that the emperor, who was once highly expected by the courtiers, voted for the world : He will write a note, seal it obliquely and hand it over to Zhongshuling , and the purpose of "slanting the seal" is to tell Zhongshuling that these people have already greeted, you can just figure it out ! In fact, "Xianfengguan" is more like a dark metaphor in Zhongzong's era: when the cowardly emperor was swayed by a group of greedy people who penetrated from the oblique thorns, a dynasty would also deviate from the right path and go astray.
Once greed gets out of control, it will expand rapidly. Let's take a look at what the greedy selfish desires of the princes and nobles in the Zhongzong era looked like. We have already mentioned Zhongzong’s eldest daughter, , Princess Changning, . As early as in Luoyang, the eastern capital, she built a mansion with extravagance and spent all the wealth in the mansion; when the court returned to Chang’an in the winter of 706 AD, she even more Combining Gao Shilian's mansion and Zuo Jinwuwei's barracks as a mansion, and excavating a huge Liubei Pond, it attracted the praise of civil and military officials; seeing her sister's large-scale construction, Princess Anle was also competing for wealth. Emperor Zhongzong tried to ask for the royal garden Kunming Pond to no avail, so he dug a pond bigger than Kunming Pond near the imperial city of Chang’an and named it DingKunchi made it clear that he wanted to overwhelm the emperor's father.
In addition to competing for wealth and wealth, the generous living conditions of these princes and nobles are also unmatched by the previous dynasties. The former Emperor Ruizong and his sister Taiping Princess each have a reward of 300,000 households, far exceeding Not only that, Princess Taiping and the other six princesses (Changning, Anle, Yicheng, Xindu, Ding'an , Jincheng) also obtained the privilege of setting up their own mansions and setting up officials, and the regulations were similar to those of the "princes". "The house is the same, with one person in every ten steps, patrolled by cavalry, and occupying the palace and provinces, and their food towns are all sealed at 2,500 households, which is more than three times the treatment of the prince's title.
Material greed ultimately spurs political ambitions, and this is the main reason why careerists emerged endlessly in the Zhongzong dynasty and the entire political situation was chaotic. When Empress Wei and Princess Anle finally conspired to kill Zhongzong, the two women who both wanted to be queens failed in the end, and both died in the storm that wiped out Zhu Wei.
However, as one of the important signs of this chaos, "Xianfengguan" still has its inertia. It is still a presentation of the political game of the Tang Dynasty, which is why Su Wuming's contempt and contempt for "Xianfeng officials" in "Tang Dynasty Strange Events".
