Why did corrupt officials rarely appear in the history of Han and Tang Dynasties?

Since there was an emperor, there have been countless corrupt officials and countless corrupt officials. Even the Ming dynasty, which punished corruption the most, could do nothing about corrupt officials in the later period: all officials in the world should be killed, who will move the knife?

But if we look at the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, we will find an interesting phenomenon, that is, there were few corrupt officials in most of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Corrupt officials began to wreak havoc in the Song Dynasty, but they became uncontrollable in the Ming Dynasty and became accustomed to it in the Qing Dynasty? There is no provision to punish corruption in the Great Qing Law, and none of the 20 major crimes that Xiao Shenyang was sentenced to death was related to corruption.

Why did corrupt officials rarely appear in the prosperous Tang Dynasty? This may be a big problem, which can only be embodied in two county magistrates in the Han Dynasty and two princes in the Tang Dynasty. After reading Leopard, readers may come to a clear conclusion.

The first magistrate of the Han Dynasty that we want to talk about is Dong Xuan, the famous one? An injunction? It's strange that he entered the biographies of cruel officials in the later Han Dynasty? In historical records, "Han Shu" and "Han Shu", the so-called? Cool officials? Most of them are gentlemen and even war heroes, such as Zhi Dou the Goshawk? Don't avoid the nobility, look at the royal family? Huns always heard about Zhi Dou Festival, so they raised their troops, but they all died near Yanmen. Xiongnu is a doll like the capital. It is impossible for him to ride and shoot. He is afraid. ?

It's an honor for Dong Xuan to enter The Story of Queer with Zhi Dou Zhang Tang, and his style is really cruel: Huang Liu, the eldest sister of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, was very kind to Liu Xiu, but after Princess Huyang's servant killed someone, Dong Xuan pulled out a knife and stopped Princess Huyang's motorcade. Stop to knock on the horse, scratch the ground with a knife, loudly say the Lord's fault, scold the slave to get off the bus, and kill for the case. ?

Dong Xuan's strict law enforcement deserves respect, but his law enforcement methods are also debatable. But in any case, Dong Xuan didn't think he had done anything wrong, and Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu didn't also the way. Press Dong Xuan's head and ask him to apologize to Princess Populus euphratica. Two little eunuchs tried their best to make Dong Xuan bow.

Guangwudi smiled and asked Liu Xiu? An injunction? In fact, Dong Xuan knew very well that this was just an explanation that the emperor wanted to give to his sister Princess Huyang. Brother, I tried my best, but this Dong Xuan is difficult to deal with, so don't argue with him. ?

It is estimated that Princess Hu Yang also saw it: If you really want him to bow down, why not let Jin Wuwei do it? What can these two little eunuchs do? ?

With the support of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, Dong Xuan was forced to enforce the law more strictly, and thus got another one? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? Nickname. There are Zhi Dou the Eagle and Dong Xuan the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In the Han Dynasty, there were a large number of officials who enforced the law without avoiding powerful people, so corrupt officials naturally had to think twice before acting.

In the Han Dynasty, there were officials who strictly enforced the law, and there were relatively complete and strict laws to punish corruption. This can be seen from another county magistrate. Bad luck? .

This unlucky county magistrate is called Ding Fei. The reason why he lost his job is that he traded his lean cow for a fat bull. Ever since I was trapped by my family's cattle, I've been a private cow with a change of official position. I was sent to prison and caught the official. ?

The county magistrate lost his post when he changed a cow. This matter was also known by Cao Cao. Instead of sheltering his hometown, he used it as a joke with Ding Fei. Hou Wen (Hou Wen), where is your seal? ?

Ding Fei also knew that Cao Cao was joking with himself there and replied in a joking tone:? I changed a big cake (changed a cake ear)! ?

Jokes are jokes. Ding Fei doesn't think that the punishment for changing cows and losing officials is too heavy, and Cao Cao didn't intercede for Ding Fei's boss, which shows that they all think that it is natural to take off the official hat when they take advantage of the public.

In the Han dynasty, except for a few last emperors who sold officials to collect money, there were really few corrupt officials, which should be related to the strict laws and judges in the Han dynasty.

After reading the two county decrees of the Han Dynasty, let's take a look at the two princes of the Tang Dynasty. One is Shang Zhu, General Qin and General Zuo Wuwei, and the other is General Qiu, Zhong Shuling and General.

Many people know that Qin and his predecessor are in America, but few people know that he is also the richest man in the world. To select the top ten richest men among the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong can definitely rank among the top three: he has obtained 30 hectares of permanent land, and 35 hectares after being sealed off, and these fields belong to industries that can be handed down from generation to generation in Qin Qiong, without paying rent and commission to the court? Up to now, the land area of the Tang Dynasty is exactly one hectare equal to 100 mu, and there are 6500 mu of land for rent, which can at least collect 13000 dou of grain every year.

Besides hardcore crops, Qin Qiong also got inexhaustible gold and silver from Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. Wei Chijingde and Gaozu sent envoys to give golden jars; In Jiexiu, I broke Song Jingang, gave 100 Jin of gold and 6,000 miscellaneous horses, and Zhu Guo; In order to win over the king and refuse Dou Jiande, Uncle Bao went into battle with dozens of brave riders, went to see lord protector and rewarded him with 100 Jin of gold and 7,000 silks? Accumulated tens of millions of gold and silk. ?

There must be rewards for meritorious service, which was achieved by the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, so the atmosphere at that time was that everyone was trying to make contributions. Why didn't the great man take weapons to collect the fifty States of the mountain? Please go to Lingyange temporarily, if (where) is a scholar Wan Huhou? ?

Many people think that Qin Qiong ranks last among the heroes in Lingyange, which is of course incorrect? He ranked 24th, and the number of heroes in Lingyange later reached 184, including Guo Ziyi, the famous king of Fenyang.

Guo Ziyi has the merit of recreating the Tang Dynasty, and the treatment he enjoys is also enviable. Ziyi got an official salary of 240,000. I live in a quarter of the Qin people, and I live in Yongxiang, Zhongtong. I don't know where my family lives. There is no discipline before and after giving fertile land, beautiful utensils, famous gardens and a museum. ?

Qin Qiong and Guo Ziyi worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty tried hard to send houses and land to heroes to send money, so that talents from all over the world could cross the river like crucian carp, and they wanted to get an official position in the Tang Dynasty? There is no need for corruption, and wages and rewards are inexhaustible.

Today, we summed up three reasons why there were few corrupt officials in the prosperous Tang Dynasty: no greed, no greed, no greed. Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, horses were basically allowed to run without grazing. And everyone ate night grass? A horse without night grass is not fat. The Qing Dynasty was the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty for three years.

We don't know whether Dong Xuan will change from a coercive order to a broken order in the Qing Dynasty, but we can know that in the Qing Dynasty, there will be no Qin Qiong and Guo Ziyi: Nian Gengyao was sentenced to death, Yue Zhongqi was sentenced to probation, and Little Shenyang amassed the enemy's wealth, but was not characterized as a corrupt official. What do you think of this?
