Chapter XVI, Section 61 Agreements
Emperor Taishang turned his head to look at the national teacher, and then at Jia Jiu, and finally sighed, and said, "What if you say it's open?" This time, Gyeonggi and Jizhong will suffer such a big loss, and it is not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster. It was the improper use of people by the imperial court, which made the trouble out of control! ”
Hearing the Emperor say this, the emperor was even more embarrassed.
He knew that most of the officials who were brought out this time were his people, or rather, the people he used, the people he trusted very much and thought he could control. But the truth is that even as the king of a country, he has not been able to really grasp these people, and these people have only gathered around him because of their benefits.
The emperor was embarrassed, but the emperor didn't care about his mood at all, but became more and more angry and said louder: "Back then, it was because of the porridge official that Emperor Han Ai caused the world's corrupt officials to run rampant, and tossed the last bit of vitality of the Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, there are people who are as stupid as Emperor Han Ai, others take things that originally belonged to him, and this person's eyelids can't see anything else, so they regard this person as their own henchman......"
The more the Emperor spoke, the more energetic he became, but the Emperor was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
But while his face was full of shame, the emperor was also very resentful. Because of this kind of thing, the Emperor Taishang has also done it, but he didn't expect that the Emperor Taishang himself was not clean, but he pushed all the things and all the sins on his head.
Knowing that the Emperor Taishang couldn't continue to say this, the national teacher had to say: "Your Majesty, should you avoid the poor way?" ”
"You!" The emperor was stunned, and his face immediately looked a little unpleasant. But the Emperor is the Emperor after all. He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "You should have pinned a lot of hope on the emperor, right?" The emperor made such a big mistake. You just don't say anything? ”
The national teacher replied: "It is indeed the fault of everyone around Banzai who failed to dissuade Banzai and lead Banzai into the right path in time. It's just that in this world, it's not terrible to make mistakes, but what is really terrible is never to make mistakes. ”
The Emperor Taishang suddenly said: "It's like the Nine Girls?" ”
The national teacher replied: "Tong Yunliu is not infallible, he has always been the master of big mistakes and small mistakes. ”
"So, you're breaking your heart for the sake of it?"
The national teacher replied: "No, it's not the poor road that worries about him. It's the senior brother of the poor Dao, Daokui Ling Bozi. ”
The Emperor Taishang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Turning his head and asking Jia Jiu: "Girl Jiu, did you say that you made Daokui very worried?" ”
Jia Jiu replied: "Your Majesty, it's not just my uncle, it's my father. I'm still worried about it. It's just that my father has never been superficial. ”
The Emperor burst out laughing. "You guys." Well, since you've all said that, then I won't say it. ”
When the emperor heard the emperor say this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Taishang squinted at the emperor, then at the national teacher, and finally at Jia Jiu, before he said, "You say, if I enforce the red lotus nationwide. How is it? ”
Jia Jiu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, if you do this." I am afraid that the original policy of loving the people will become a policy of harming the people, and even the red weed will become a poisonous weed that the people are afraid of. The grain hurts the peasants, Your Majesty. ”
When the Emperor Taishang heard about the measures to harm the people, his face was very unsightly, but when he heard the words Gu Bei hurt the peasants, he turned his stomach into a long sigh: "Yes, Gu Bei hurts the peasants." Once, people around me said that you were too cautious, and even a little shy back. But today, I understand that it is not that you are cautious, but that you have the people in your heart, and you know better than anyone that your words and deeds are very likely to affect the people's livelihood, and even make the people live and die for it, cry for it, and laugh for it. ”
Jia Jiu hurriedly bent down and said, "Your Majesty has a good reputation." In fact, above the court, there are not a few adults who are more worried about the country and the people than me, but you adults are not like me, and they will just put it on their lips. ”
The Emperor replied: "What if they are worried about the country and the people? Their selfishness, coupled with a leader with great ambition and talent, even if they have the ability to remember the people, they still achieve nothing in the end. This time, my Imperial Tomb is the best proof of this. ”
Hearing what the Emperor said this, the emperor immediately knelt down: "Is it the son's minister, please punish my father." ”
The Emperor said: "What if you are punished?" It's also true that my mausoleum was almost smashed. ”
Death is like life.
The emperor knew the seriousness of the matter, so he had to kneel down and plead guilty.
The emperor knelt this time, not only the eldest princess of Lanling, the eldest princess of Jiashan, and the eldest princess of Changle, but even the national teacher and Jia Jiulin Daiyu also knelt, not to mention the people who were waiting on the side, they all fell to the ground.
All of a sudden, the Emperor Taishang's side was a little shorter.
The Emperor sighed and said, "You all get up." As he spoke, he asked the emperor to get up, and then asked the eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan and Princess Changle to come over to help the national division, Jia Jiu, and Lin Daiyu get up.
The national teacher and Jia Jiu Lin Daiyu didn't dare to take Qiao, and got up obediently.
Only then did the Emperor Taishang say: "I am already old, even after the skillful hands of Jiu Yatou and Lin Yatou, I am still an old man." Now the spirit is good, but I don't know when the time will come. Therefore, I can only prepare before it happens. The only thing I'm worried about is the emperor and the world. I originally thought that in the past few years under my leadership, the emperor would just watch and watch, but I didn't expect that the emperor would still be so unsuccessful. It's just that the world is turbulent now, and I don't know what will happen in the next moment. The emperor is like this, I really can't rest assured. ”
The emperor was still angry just now that the emperor did not give him face in public, but at this time he was so moved that he was confused, although he did not cry bitterly and pulled the emperor's robe and said, "The son is not filial, and the father is so tired that the emperor can't live in peace", but it is not much worse.
Seeing such an appearance, Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu both lowered their heads, but the national teacher endured it and did not frown, but said: "Your Majesty, watching and coming to the end are two different things. Even if I see a lot on the sidelines, I haven't done it myself. It's still not possible. ”
In fact, what the national teacher wants to say is that it is better to ask the two of you not to act, this kind of drama is not interesting at all. If the two of them have a heart, just let go of the power struggle. With a fair heart, don't listen to and believe partially, and naturally the government will not be hindered.
It's a pity that the national teacher can't say such words, because the national teacher is a monk. And the national teacher himself understands this kind of truth. Whether it is the Emperor Taishang or the Emperor, they have heard it I don't know how many times, and they are very clear.
In the heart. The national teacher still thinks that whether it is the emperor or the emperor, their way of thinking and principles of doing things are good. It's all a bit aunty. The line of sight is really narrow, and I only see a little bit of what is in front of me, and I don't have enough of the big picture at all. It is undoubtedly dangerous for such people to rule the land.
Just like this disaster, if it weren't for the emperor paying too much attention to the power in his hands, if it weren't for the emperor making some similar deals and compromises for his power, I'm afraid that those officials would not be so bold. Most of the official positions and Changping positions in the entire Gyeonggi and Jizhong provinces were hollowed out.
Of course, if it weren't for the Emperor Taishang who forced the emperor too hard. The emperor may also go astray.
This matter, from an overall point of view, both the Emperor and the Emperor are at fault, and they are very wrong.
People have a herd mentality, if the leader has an attitude, then the people below will naturally not and dare not reach out to the wealth of the country and the court, but if the leader is full of aunt thoughts, he sees what he has in his hands, then the people below will not be far away from starting to consume.
This is also the origin of the fact that people use clusters to divide into groups.
It is true that in politics, there are times when compromise must be made, but what can be compromised and what cannot be compromised is very particular. In the eyes of the national teacher, the emperor is compromising where he shouldn't be compromised, and he is holding on to it where he should be compromised, and in these things, the national teacher even feels that there are some things that even the young Jia Jiu can't choose, but the emperor and the emperor have done a series of stupid things for the sake of power.
Many times, whether it is the Emperor Taishang whose loess has been buried to his neck or the emperor who has gone more than half of his life, their performance is not even comparable to Jia Jiu, who went to Yuqing Mountain for the first time.
Even if he had already disliked the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor who were putting on a show to death in his heart, the face of the national teacher could not be revealed. You must know that this is not the past, in the previous dynasty, whether it was an official or a Taoist gate, if the emperor was not pleasing to the eye, he could fry the emperor's squid, or he could wash the emperor's face with saliva, but now, the kings of Daqi do not have the consciousness of kings, ministers, fathers and sons of ancient kings.
The national teacher didn't want to make trouble for himself. After all, he is just a monk, and there are some things that are not his obligation, and he can't just talk about them.
Seeing the Emperor Taishang and the emperor performing like this, Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu were also taken aback at first, but when they saw the look of the national teacher again, they understood. Now is not the time for them to speak.
Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu held their breath more and more, maintaining the highest principle of quietness.
After the Emperor Taishang and the emperor reined a lot under the persuasion of the three princesses, the Emperor Taishang raised his head and said, "National teacher, there is one thing that I am most worried about at the moment. ”
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The Emperor said: "There are too few people who can be used in this court now. ”
The national teacher said: "Your Majesty, I have been a country for a hundred years, and the triennial imperial examination, plus Enke, has hundreds or thousands of talents in the hands of the imperial court, and I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people." Why does Your Majesty need to sigh that there are too few people who can use it? ”
Emperor Taishang said: "But, didn't the national teacher also see the famine this time?" If it weren't for the lack of availability, it wouldn't have allowed those people to take advantage of it. ”
The national teacher finally has a headache now.
The things that the Emperor Taishang fancied were exactly what Daomen could not give.
The national teacher could only say: "Your Majesty, the imperial court sits on the world, and the imperial examination has accumulated countless talents for the imperial court." As long as the court abides by the law of the country, the country will be able to go on the right path......"
Emperor Taishang interrupted the words of the national teacher and said, "However, among those officials, like Jiu Yatou, there are no people who have thought about all aspects of things in advance and reported to the imperial court!" Even one or two people who see the problem will not be able to send this chapter to me for various reasons. ”
The national teacher sighed, and just as he was looking for words, Jia Jiu suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, even if I am replaced, if I am in the officialdom, I will be assimilated by the people in the officialdom, polish all the edges and corners, and become no different from them." ”
The emperor blurted out: "How is it possible? ”
Jia Jiu replied: "I can't hide it, I can have today because of the connivance and favor of your teachers, as well as timely guidance. And the officials of Gyeonggi and Jizhong will go astray, because the imperial court has not fulfilled its due responsibility. In this incident, the officials were at fault, but the ills of the imperial court also occupied a considerable weight. If Your Majesty and Banzai were able to solve these ills, this incident would naturally not happen again. ”
The emperor did not speak, but the emperor was too shang, he sighed and said, "How easy is it to talk? I'm afraid that it will be difficult to return. ”
The emperor said: "Nine girls, the court needs food and copper." What can you do? ”
The national teacher replied: "Long live, if long live you need a chart, the Dao Gate can be presented with both hands." ”
"What?"
"What?"
The Emperor and the Emperor spoke in unison.
They never thought that Daomen would be so easy to speak.
They even thought they had heard it wrong.
The national teacher said very calmly: "Yes, the sea chart door can be presented with both hands." However, Daomen hopes to obtain the right to produce salt fertilizer. ”
Emperor Taishang was stunned: "Isn't there a salt and fertilizer workshop in Daomen?" ”
The national teacher replied: "When Jiu Yatou handed over the salt and fertilizer Zhuangzi, he said that he would no longer interfere in the matter of salt and fertilizer, of course, in order to ensure the absolute control of the imperial court over the salt and fertilizer, Daomen has never built a salt and fertilizer workshop and a salt and fertilizer Zhuangzi. ”
Thinking that the country urgently needs a large amount of copper, and that there is a large amount of copper overseas, and then thinking of the various shady scenes of the Yanfei Yamen today, as well as the treasure ships and docks that have been idle in the imperial court, the Emperor Taishang and the emperor finally made a decision after looking at each other.
"Okay. This salt and fertilizer matter is no longer the unique business of the salt and fertilizer yamen, and those salt and fertilizer workshops and salt and fertilizer Zhuangzi belong to Xuanhui Mansion. From now on, the salt and fertilizer yamen only has the power to supervise, and does not have the power to engage in salt and fertilizer trading. Similarly, the Daomen can produce salt fertilizer, but it must be supervised by the salt fertilizer yamen. ”
"Yes."
Emperor Taishang and the emperor thought that as long as the people of the Yanfei Yamen were in their hands, they would be able to control the salt and fertilizer of the Daomen, and then probe the inside of the Daomen, but they didn't think that the officialdom of Daqi was like a sieve. With the ability of the Daomen, it is too simple to make a few officials available to me. (To be continued.) )
