"A man of wisdom and skill must foresee and discern clearly, and he cannot be selfish if he does not perceive; Those who are able to practice the law must be strong and resolute, and those who are not strong and upright cannot be overbearing. People and ministers follow orders, and cases are governed by law, which is not to say that people are valued. …… A person who can teach the law is straightforward and obedient, and he respects people's treachery. Therefore, if the wise and the powerful are used, the noble ministers will be outside the rope. It is a person of wisdom and law and a person who should be painted, and there is no enmity between the two sides. ”

In the senior hall, Zhao Zhen was explaining Han Feizi's "Han Feizi Lonely Anger Eleventh" to the children, which is the most important part of the exposition of power, while Pang Ji sat on the side and looked at the teenage prince and the young emperor shook their heads slightly.

But I have to admit that the two fathers and sons' attainments in Confucianism are not bad, after all, after the royal Confucianism training, it is common sense that Confucian classics are integrated, but Pang Ji can't figure out why the emperor and the prince, who know Confucianism so thoroughly, are not very advocating Confucianism.

In fact, it's not that Zhao Zhen and Zhao Xu don't advocate Confucianism, and they are also quite fond of Confucianism, but in Zhao Zhen's heart, whether it is Confucianism or Legalism, even if it is the Mohist, Huang Lao and other doctrines, their status is the same as Confucianism, they are all tools in the hands of rulers, as for how to use these tools, it depends on whether they are needed or not.

"Okay, Xu'er, tell me what this paragraph means, what have you learned through this article?"

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Father Qi, the meaning of this article is that a person who is proficient in the art of governance must be a person who has foresight and can discern everything, and if he can't see everything, he can't understand the secrets." A person who is good at law must be a strong, resolute and upright person, and if he is not upright, he cannot correct the wickedness. ”

"Well, what about his implications?"

Pang Ji was a little surprised, how could the twelve-year-old prince know what this meant, it was already excellent to be able to read the article so smoothly and say it well, "Han Feizi" because it involves the art of imperial power, or the way of the emperor, its meaning is often jerky and difficult to understand, and it is difficult to understand if it is not in his position.

"Enlighten the father, this article seems to explain the way of being a minister, but it is inseparable from the way of the emperor, and what kind of courtier is suitable for what kind of dispatch is also very important."

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Well, it's very good, but what I want to say is that the most important sentence in this article seems to be that the powerful and those who know the law are enemies, but in fact, Han Fei means that the imperial court should govern the country according to law." Even the powerful and foreign relatives are not exempt. I feel that I should add that the law of the country is more important than the power of Mount Tai, and even the emperor of heaven cannot be above it. ”

"Your Majesty?!" Pang Ji was suddenly startled, looked at Zhao Zhen in amazement, his hands trembled slightly, what does the official family mean? Why do you suddenly say such a thing? Since ancient times, there have been people who are not courteous, and they can't be punished by doctors.

And Zhao Xu nodded seriously: "The child remembers." ”

"Well, I just remind you that you should respect the laws you have set no matter what, otherwise even the emperor, the person who made the laws, will not obey them, how can you ask the officials, the people, the gentry, and the royal family?"

Zhao Zhen's words made Pang Ji deeply shocked, as the emperor is a person who is above the law, since ancient times, the emperor will not be punished by the law, at most it is the condemnation of the people, in front of his own eyes, how much courage does it take for the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to say such a thing?

It's a pity that Zhao Zhen, who was born in a society under the rule of law, is not as tall as he thinks, in Zhao Zhen's mind, anyone should abide by the rules of the game, this is the "rationality" given to him in that era and what he carved into his bones, but Zhao Zhen touched his nose helplessly after seeing Pang Ji's shocked expression, and he didn't know if his words were good or bad......

When Zhao Xu left, Pang Ji got up and bowed down: "Your Majesty's heart, the emperors of the ages have never been, it is the work of the holy monarch, the old minister is impressed, if my Great Song Dynasty emperor is preaching with this, everything will last forever!" The world will be the same soon! ”

The world is the same? Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly, this thing only exists in the thoughts of the sages, and it is a blessing that the Great Song Dynasty can last for eight hundred years. What he did was just to make the Great Song Dynasty continue a little more, so he cultivated Zhao Xu like this, so he desperately wanted to eliminate the nomads or assimilate them, at least the power of the Han dynasty would not fall.

"I ordered Di Qing to occupy Huaizhou and other places, the world was in an uproar, and I ordered Peng Qi to lead the sixteen guards to attack the Liao people in Bei'an Prefecture in the north, so it can be regarded as a generation of saints?"

Pang Ji shook his head and said: "This is the imperial power technique, in the strategy, the people of the world will only praise His Majesty's decisiveness and wisdom, and will not say that His Majesty is thin, and the imperial power technique is changeable and homeopathic, why not seize the Xixia Prefecture today?" This is a fortunate thing in the Great Song Dynasty, why do the people disdain it because they can't praise it? ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "It's really good, we don't have much time, if we can't wipe out the Western Xia with the power of thunder, I'm worried that I won't be able to die in my lifetime!" After all, the Liao Dynasty was very different from the Western Xia. ”

Pang Ji nodded slightly, looked at the shrunken map in the senior hall and said: "Your Majesty, if the Qingtang coalition army can recover the Shandan Military Horse Farm, it will definitely make the Xixia people more urgent, there is their lifeblood, and the output of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of military horses every year is really scary." ”

Zhao Zhen pointed to the map: "Zhangye, Zhangye, Zhang's right armpit!" This is an important place in the northwest, I will send the West Route Army to join the Qingtang coalition army to capture, once it is taken, you can camp troops and raise horses, within two years I can have hundreds of thousands of military horses available in my hands, the world is so big, my Song cavalry can also go! ”

Pang Ji glanced at it and thought it was true: "This place is a rare treasure land, open up the tuntian, make the best use of water and land, harvest rice, a few tens of grains, can accumulate military food for decades!" It is also the key point of the Shandan Military Horse Farm, if the city is built, it can be safe! ”

Zhao Zhen and Pang Ji talked for a long time, and when Pang Ji left, Zhao Zhen frowned deeply, where he attaches great importance to the Xixia people, the Xixia people will definitely pay attention to it, and now Zhangye is the Gansu Military Division of the Western Xia, a vicious war is afraid that it cannot be avoided, and can only pin hope on the body of the West Route Army and the Qingtang Coalition Army.

Shandan Military Horse Farm, the oldest and most amazing horse farm, has always been the "treasure house" of Western Xia, Western Xia will never sit idly by and watch the Great Song Dynasty take it for himself, and now Zhao Zhen wants to send the Southern Route Army to support this place?

But the transfer of troops in the battle, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil in the army, and it will also make the Western Xia people more vigilant, after all, Di Qing's back in his hand, stepping on the white is a trump card of the Great Song Dynasty, but if there are more such heavy cavalry, it will play an immeasurable role in the Great Song Dynasty......

"Sancai! Spread the message that the head of the Imperial City came to see the driver! ”
