In less than half an hour, Lin Nan lazily walked out and said to the two concubines: "The emperor has already died himself, and you are still surrounded by this, and you don't report it to me, which is really unreasonable." When the two of them heard him say this, they were shocked and inexplicable, but although they knew that Lu Dao was Lin Nan's murder, how could they dare to say it? could only promise to cry bitterly, Lin Nan ordered the concubines in each pavilion to cry and mourn, although these palace masters and concubines, although they all had suspicions, none of them dared to propose to find death.

In July, Ding Wei, Emperor Yang Guangyan drove, and the next month, Jiangxian suffered from heart palpitations due to grief, and he also went. The next month, Yu Wensu, Sa Wuji and others lied that Yang Guang had an edict, and set up the sixteenth prince Yang Yu as the successor king, and all the dissidents in the ministers were killed, until Yang Yu ascended the throne, sealed Sa Rongrong as the queen, and issued an edict to recruit the kings into Beijing, but the three kings of Qi, Chu, and Zhao, who were far away in the fiefdom, had the experience of King Yan and refused to enter Beijing with the edict, which was that the Great Sui War was about to break out.

……

Lin Nan ascended the throne, Yu Wensu and Sa Wuji led hundreds of officials, and the mountains called for worship, Lin Nanxi was born from the heart, and said with one sleeve: "Zhongqing is flat." "Your Majesty." The hundred officials got up and stood on both sides, and Lin Nan followed the arrangement of Dongfang Wenjie to send officials to the princes and towns to mourn, and then sent officials to take the throne. Edict at home and abroad: Take next year as the first year of Huanglong, be promoted to all officials from the dragon, and enter the civil and military ranks in the court. Reward the sergeants of each border town and give the world a gift. The rest of Yu Wensu, Dongfang Wenjie, Qin Yi, Fan Bodang, etc. have all been rewarded, and even the abolished Yan King has been re-named the king of Xiangyang to block the mouth of Youyou.

At this time, hundreds of officials obeyed each other, no one had objections, and there were people such as Yu Wenle outside to suppress them, so although the Great Sui changed hands, Chang'an did not change much. Lin Nan finally ascended the throne and became the emperor, and when he saw the hundreds of officials standing with their hands down, he got up and said, "I ...... I have something to say, how about talking to the people? Yu Wensu first said: "I am willing to listen to the teachings of His Majesty." The rest of the officials naturally followed. Lin Nan immediately said: "I know that Zhongqing is an official in the court, and he must be based on morality. When a person is first born, he is clean and clean, and he is called a "child". The heart of a child is very naïve. Very rustic. So. But any innocent and simple heart can be called "pure heart". Why do you have such a word? It is because the purity of the child is very precious. This is what we call a 'gentleman'. After listening to his words, Baiguan didn't know what his main topic was, so he could only continue to listen.

I saw Lin Nan continue: "I said that this involves a question - whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil. It's hard to say, but I think people are good. It is thought that man should be evil. Is there any? No. Even the wicked do not advocate that people should be evil. So in such a situation, there is a question, that is, how to strive for good and prevent evil? Baiguan listened to the good and evil in a daze, and then Lin Nan continued: "There are three points to prevent evil. Scruples, bottom lines, and criminal laws. What is the bottom line? The bottom line is inside. That is to say, I will not do evil, I will never do evil. No matter how well I do things, even if I do something bad, I must have a bottom line that cannot be broken. Let's say, I steal, but I don't kill. Even if they are seen, they cannot kill people. Or rather, I steal. But I don't*. Even if the hostess is beautiful and fragrant, she can't see the color. For example, I steal, but I steal only from the rich, not from the poor. Or never steal other people's life money, life-saving money, etc. This is called "thieves have a way". Where does this bottom line come from? From oneself, it can only come from each person's own morality, so the bottom line is responsible for morality. ”

"So what are the scruples? Scruples are extravagant. In other words. It's not that I don't want to do evil, it's not that I don't want to do bad things. It's not that I can't do bad things, it's not that I can't do bad things, it's that I can't do bad things. Why can't you? It is because we have a "sense of integrity". And what the "honest heart" depends on is naturally morality. ”

So I have to ask: Is morality really capable of making people feel guilty? My conclusion is no. ”

"Morality is something that no one else can oversee. Because it comes from conscience, and conscience belongs to each person. If a person does not have a conscience, others will not be able to do anything about him. For example, Confucius's student Zai Yu asked Confucius, what is the reason for the three-year mourning? One year is enough. Confucius asked, "Less than three years after the death of your parents, you eat the white rice and wear the satin clothes, and you feel uneasy in your heart?" Jae Yu said, "Ah! Confucius had no choice but to say angrily, you can get by on conscience, you can do it! The reason why a gentleman keeps filial piety for three years is because during these three years, he does not feel fragrant when he eats good food, does not feel beautiful when he listens to music, and feels uneasy when he lives in a comfortable house. Since you are at peace, then you can do whatever you like! It can be seen that conscience does not need to be supervised, and it cannot be supervised.

Maybe the secretaries will ask, since morality is useless, then what do we rely on? Criminal law! What is criminal law and not morality? Because morality is "soft control" and law is "hard control". As I mentioned earlier, what is "scruples"? It's that I want to do evil, I can do evil, I will do evil, but I don't dare. Why don't you dare? Because someone is in charge, and they must be managed, they will be managed, and they must be managed. Obviously, the "person" mentioned here cannot be an individual or a private person. Individuals and private individuals do not have this power, nor do they have this obligation, they do not have this ability. If a person does evil, we may or may not condemn it. It may be filled with righteous indignation because of a sense of justice, roar when the road is uneven, or it may be silent because of embarrassment or intimidation of authority. Even if it is managed, the person who is controlled may not listen. So morality is unreliable. So you can only rely on the criminal law, even if you are a relative of the emperor, if you dare to do evil, someone will naturally take care of you, and you will not dare to commit it again! ”

Baiguan was taken aback, and only when he heard this did he understand what Lin Nan meant. I only heard him go on to say: "Now that I am in charge of the world, I should govern the country by criminal law, not morality, I have a word in front today, whether it is a relative of Huang or a member of the first grade, whoever dares to violate the criminal law, I will not tolerate it!" ”

Baiguan Mountain shouted long live, and after three bows, Lin Nan continued: "In addition, in terms of military service, there is no soldier sound in my military service in Dasui, so it is difficult for soldiers to be loyal to the country, and it has caused great difficulties in the life of the families of military servicemen, so from today on, military service people will be sent to soldiers, who dare to detain soldiers, Yi ten tribes!" According to the Great Sui Law system, the people have to serve for several months every year, but they are not paid, how can the people live? Therefore, from this day on, the people, but those who serve in the conscription, must be paid in full every month, otherwise the ten tribes will be destroyed! ”

"This ......" changed the two major policies at once, and naturally some ministers wanted to oppose it, but Lin Nan didn't give them a chance, and waved his hand and said: "Zhu Qingxiu has to say more." "The business is almost ordered, Lin Nan turned his face and smiled: "I am tired of living in Chang'an, I want Luoyang to be the capital of the world, and I want to build a Xianren Palace to face the Quartet, I don't know who can be worthy of this position?" As soon as he heard this, the secretary of the Ministry of War Hu Yanzan, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Murong Lian, hurriedly came out to ask for the order, and Hu Yanzan said: "Ancient and modern emperors, all have Ming Hall, the princes of the dynasty, Guo Shun has two rooms, and King Wen has Lingtai Lingnuma, all of whom have made great achievements, and want to show benevolence and virtue in the world." Now His Majesty has built Xianren Palace, wants to show sanctification, and Shunwen is on the same track, honest ancient and modern events, and the ministers dare not work? Murong Lian said again: "The Son of Heaven builds a palace, not vast enough to be magnificent, not rich enough to cultivate virtue; It must be south of the soap hole, north across Luobin, select the world's good villages and different stones, and a variety of Jiahua grass, rare birds and beasts, enrich it, in order to be admired by all countries in the world. ”

Lin Nanle couldn't close his mouth, and said again and again: "Erqing tries his best, I have my own reward!" He sent a decree to Hu Yanzan and Murong Lianrong to build Xianren Palace in Luoyang. Where south of the river, north of the five mountains, all kinds of materials are subject to selection, and there must be no mistakes. In addition to the eastern capital of Jiangdu, which is now in service, each provincial capital and each prefecture and county paid 3,000 taels of silver, urging the levy to solve the problem and go to Luoyang to assist in the work. The two of them received the order to go out, even if they set off for Luoyang, and did things separately.

When Anyang was looking at the door, he saw Lin Nan striding in a dragon robe, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad, so he turned around slowly.

"Yang'er." Lin Nan ran over and shouted. When Anyang saw him approaching, he saluted and said, "Anyang see Long Live Lord." Lin Nan hurriedly pulled her up and said, "Good sister, we don't need this between us." An Yang's face changed, and he suddenly said: "Then you tell me, how did my father die!" Lin Nan pretended to sigh and said, "My father saw us that day...... After returning to the palace, he was in a hurry, and then he died suddenly. An Yang burst into tears and cried: "Isn't that why I killed my father." Seeing her crying sadly, Lin Nan took her hand and said: "Life and death are fateful, and there is a certain number of thoughts, and my sister doesn't have to be too sad." ”

"Hmm." An Yang pinched his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, pulled Lin Nan and said, "Let's go, come to my house, I have a finished show for you." ”
