Chapter 222: Statecraft
In the middle of the Song Palace, Zhao Ji and Zeng Bu (bī) forced Li Sanjian to tell the way of governing the country, which caught Li Sanjian off guard, and for a while, he was hesitant and in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty" Li Sanjian said to Zhao Ji in embarrassment: "Weichen really doesn't know where to start?" ”
Under their bī (like this), as long as they start up, then they will not be done talking nonsense again? Li Sanjian secretly calculated in his heart, anyway, it was their (bī) thing, and it was not their fault if they said it badly, even if it was said whimsically, it was a mess, and Zhao Ji would not be guilty.
"Since I inherited the unification, I have always thought about inheriting the aspirations of my father and brother." Hearing this, Zhao Ji said slowly: "The authority of the general authority, exert strength, depose (jiān) back, and restore the law." Huairou is a text, shocking and stacking, and then the power of the four yi, expanding the land for thousands of miles. ”
Zhao Ji paused for a moment and then said: "Zhang Qing's family often tells me that at the moment, I should be governed by inaction, but some people have mentioned to me that ruling by inaction is the way of Huang Lao, and the way of governing the country by a legalist should be practiced, and the law should be severely punished. I don't know what Li Qing's family thinks about this? Just say, no matter what you say, I will never condemn you. ”
"Your Majesty, please allow Weichen to think for a moment." Li Sanjian said when he heard this.
The policy of governing the country mentioned by Zhao Ji is nothing more than the three governing theories of the past dynasties, one of which is the "rule of law" of the Legalists, who advocates governing the world with strict punishment and strict law; The second is the Confucian "rule of man", which advocates the implementation of benevolent government and maximizes the role of people; The last is the Taoist "rule by inaction", following the trend and the people's will, guiding according to the situation, and following the trend.
Since Li Sanjian came to this world, his eight-year reading career, not to mention being well-read and well-versed in ancient and modern times, has also read a lot of books, so he has some understanding of this.
At this time, Zhao Ji asked Li Sanjian to talk about the strategy of governing the country, and Li Sanjian could say something to some extent.
But what surprised Li Sanjian at this time was not that Zhao Ji and Zeng Bu asked Li Sanjian to say anything about governing the country, but that Zhao Ji said that he always wanted to inherit the aspirations of his father and brother. Is this still Song Huizong? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.
In Li Sanjian's impression, Song Huizong is a faint monarch, a dead country, and a desolate (yín) monarch, but the one in front of him, in the past, Li Sanjian regarded him as a brother and a brother, is he still Song Huizong? If Zhao Ji can continue like this, will Song still lose the country?
Is there a mistake? Isn't it the same name? Li Sanjian was full of doubts in his heart at this time, but he really couldn't remember whether anyone had the same name as Cai Jing?
What's up with him, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, since he can't figure it out, he won't think about him, and he will only have to take one step at a time in the future.
So Li Sanjian thought about it for a long time and then said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that when the external Confucianism and the internal law are used, this is Weichen's humble opinion, I hope Your Majesty will not blame." ”
"Outer Confucianism and internal law, the medicine is the way? Who blames you? Tell me about it. Zhao Ji shook his head and said.
Li Sanjian is a little too cautious, where does he look like a young official in his early twenties? The young official is young, full of vigor, daring to fight, dare to speak, dare to criticize the government, he is like a seasoned old man? At this time, Zhao Ji and Zeng Bu both felt this way.
"In this way, Weichen will get an axe?" Li Sanjian's humble attitude made Zhao Ji and Zeng Bu have an urge to press him to the ground and beat him up...
"The way of Confucianism is nothing more than 'benevolence (ài) people' and 'virtue for government', which is the golden mean. Legalism, on the other hand, takes 'law', 'technique' and 'potential' as its way. "Establish the world with Taoism" and "rule by inaction", this is the southern technique of the Taoist monarch.
The ministers thought that no matter what kind of way of governing the country, they should remove the dross and keep the essence. Li Sanjian then said word by word and slowly: "Weichen thinks that there should be four ways to govern the country. Governing the country is the way, the way is Daan, one also, the ruler of the country, the circle is not out of order, the party is not out of order, the wood is not lost, the government does not lose its way, everything can be done; Entrepreneurship and keep, both civil and military, two also, the way of civil and military, each with its own time, take also, keep also, each has its own suitability, civil and military like people's feet, missing one or uneven times are not advisable; How difficult it is to prosper the country, Yi Yu dies (shēn), three also... ”
Li Sanjian said that he was excited, and he stood up (shēn) to pace back and forth in (diàn), walking around, Zhao Ji didn't care, and listened to Zeng Bu together.
"Mencius, born in sorrow, died in peace, this dynasty Wenzhong Gong Yiyun, sorrow and labor can rejuvenate the country, Yiyu can die (shēn), since ancient times, there have been many tribulations, and there have never been few great men, these three also; Be prepared for danger in times of peace... ”
"Li Qing's family, it's slow, it's slow." Zhao Ji suddenly interrupted Li Sanjian's words, turned his head to Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian, and said, "Why don't you transcribe it?" ”
"Your Majesty... Slaves... Slaves... Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian also listened to it, and Zhao Ji suddenly asked, and was suddenly startled, and he didn't say anything for a while.
"Why don't you quickly prepare the pen and ink and transcribe it?" Zhao Ji said with a deep face.
When Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and other ministers heard this, they immediately hurriedly took some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, put them on the case, and looked at Li Sanjian.
Li Sanjian nodded and continued: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared, these four also, "Yi" cloud, be safe and do not forget danger, survive without forgetting death, and govern without forgetting chaos, so that you can (shēn) be safe and your family and country can be protected." The husband holds the fire house under the accumulated salary, and sleeps on it, the fire is not burning, because it is said to be safe, and the person who steals it is also. Fang Jin's trend, why is it different. The square of the bonfire is also slight, and one finger can rest. and its prairie fire. Although the water of the rivers can be saved. The bird is not fu, you can look down and peep also, and its soaring clouds, although it is ingenious, Fu can add it. ”
"Your Majesty" After Li Sanjian finished speaking, he arched his hand and said: "This is the four ways of governing the country by micro-ministers, and I sincerely ask Your Majesty and Zeng Xianggong to be right." ”
"How?" Zhao Ji and Zeng Bu looked at each other and asked.
"Li Zhuangyuan is really talented!" Zeng Bu nodded and said to Li Sanjian: "Outer Confucianism and internal law, the medicine is the way? Everything always has its own urgency, where is Li Hanren's critical residence? ”
Li Sanjian looked at Zhao Ji and then at Zeng Bu, and then replied: "The ministers think that they should do 'rule by doing nothing', when Dr. Guangli, light people's servitude, heavy capital and suppression of the end, development of production, Cangli is solid and knows etiquette, food and clothing are sufficient and know honor and disgrace, endowment is excessive, the world is troubled, benevolence and righteousness are not applied, and the people are in distress and the lord does not accept mercy, which will inevitably cause the world to move (dàng). ”
In fact, Li Sanjian didn't agree with the rule of pure inaction at all at this time, under what circumstances can the rule of inaction be implemented? It was when the world was peaceful.
At present, in the entire Song Dynasty, perhaps only Li Sanjian understands that the sudden change is coming, and at this time, it is necessary to rule by inaction and hegemonism as the national policy, that is, the king is overbearing, and even implement an extreme military merit awarding system, reorganize the army for war, and resist the rise of the northern captives with the strength of the whole country and decades of work.
But when is it now, Li Sanjian is confused again, and if Li Sanjian releases this statement, it will definitely cause a shock to the government and the opposition, and Emperor Zhao Ji may be 'furious', and his own life may not be guaranteed, at least he will be dismissed from office, so won't his eight years of hard work be in vain?
At the same time, ruling by inaction is the way of governing the country proposed by the new vice minister Zeng Bu, how can he easily change it?
Li Sanjian was extremely distressed in his heart at this time...
"Dr. Guangli, light people's servitude, heavy capital and suppression of the end, development of production, warehouse and know etiquette, food and clothing and know honor and disgrace, endowment is excessive, the world is eventful." Zhao Ji smiled at Zeng Bu when he heard this: "What Li Hanren said coincides with the Qing family." ”
"The old decay is dying, and Li Hanren is just young (chūn), and he is really terrifying in the future." Zeng Bu also smiled when he heard this.
"That's what the Qing family said." Zhao Ji smiled and nodded, and seemed to say to Li Sanjian inadvertently: "Li Hanren went to bid farewell to the old minister Guo Zhangdun?" ”
Oops, awful, terrible cake of the world! It's over, it's over, it's over! Zhao Ji's casual words scared Li Sanjian out of a (shēn) white hair sweat...
How did he know? It's only been a day, huh? Li Sanjian secretly complained bitterly in his heart.
At this time, Li Sanjian's vest was already soaked, and a large piece of sweat stained appeared on the green official robe vest, but it was not because it was summer heat, but in the palace (diàn), although it was summer heat, it was unusually cool.
I was too reckless, I underestimated the ability of the Imperial City Division, and I underestimated Zhao Ji's means... Li Sanjian's brain was running rapidly at this time, thinking about countermeasures or wording.
If he was not careful, Li Sanjian's previous efforts would definitely be in vain, and the dismissal from office might still be light, and it would be possible to exile his family. At the same time, it aroused the emperor's disgust, what good fruits will Li Sanjian eat in the future?
See what they are doing, and know their intentions. There are disagreements, and there are unknowns... At this time, Li Sanjian suddenly remembered the thirteen articles of the Guiguzi Art of War that he occasionally obtained, and there is such a passage in it, which means how to persuade others or kings, and if you want to convince others, you must first quietly speculate, secretly analyze whether it is possible or not, and thoroughly identify what you have gained and lost.
Who is Zhao Ji? The death of both parents since he was a child is somewhat the same as Li Sanjian's loss of his father since he was a child, so he can be moved by this? Li Sanjian secretly analyzed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, instead of bidding farewell to Xiangguo, it is better to bid farewell to an old man." These thoughts only turned in Li Sanjian's mind for a moment, and after a while, Li Sanjian said indifferently: "Weichen lost his father since he was a child, and he depended on his mother for his life, so the minister couldn't see an old man desolate in his old age, and the minister also risked his life to bid farewell to an old man in my Great Song Dynasty." ”
I don't know if Zhao Ji understands the content of his conversation with Zhang Dian? Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, shouldn't it? At that time, there were only two people in the ten-mile long pavilion, so could it be that there were still people from the Imperial City Division at the top of the pavilion? Damn, I didn't pay attention to whether there was anyone on the top of the pavilion at the time???
"Li Hanren is really a kind person." Zhao Ji was really relieved when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Risking death? How does Li Qing's family talk about dead words? Zhao Ji then asked with a smile.
"Li Zhuangyuan doesn't care about his past suspicions, he is really kind-hearted." Zeng Bu also said.
Song ruled the world with filial piety, and Li Sanjian finally passed the test with the word "benevolence and filial piety". . .
