Chapter 91 The father and son of the monarch and the minister talk about the Sui and Tang dynasties
There was no longer a single palace in the spacious Gyeongbokgung Palace, only three monarchs and ministers and one loyal servant. There was a hint of chill in the www.biquge.info hall, as if even the autumn tiger was afraid of the fierce beasts entrenched here.
Kou Zhun seemed to have figured out the temper of the beast, and said eloquently in the face of Zhao Zhen: "Since the Han Dynasty, there has been a sense of heaven and man, and people will respond to things on the ground. Strangers, the power of heaven also! To condemn it without knowing it is to say that it is powerful. All disasters and different emperors must issue edicts to reassure the people. Why does the prince think this is? ”
Zhao Zhen looked at his father who was sitting on the bed and began to hesitate in his heart, of course he knew why, but he was afraid that it would be contrary to Confucianism to say it realistically.
"Yi'er can say whatever comes to mind, there are no outsiders here." Zhao Heng could see his son's careful thoughts at a glance, and he didn't want to offend Kou Zhun and wanted to say his thoughts.
"Erchen thinks this is the restraint of the scholar on the imperial power!"
Kou Zhun's eyes burst into fine light, he didn't expect the prince to say a word to break through the small means, the scholars and doctors intentionally or unintentionally preached the imperial power of heaven, in order to limit the supremacy of the imperial power, the prince's immature appearance made him secretly sigh, if the inheritance of the unification is either the Holy Son of Heaven or the unenlightened monarch!
Zhao Hengque said with a smile: "Yi'er went on to say your own opinion!" ”
At this time, Kou Zhun was very nervous, he was afraid that the prince would say unreasonable words, which would affect the future direction of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and even if there was time to change, he would have little effect.
Zhao Zhen looked at the expectant father and the nervous Kou Zhun smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Erchen thinks that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility!" The right of the puppet is to work, the responsibility is to support the family, the right of the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture is to arrest thieves and eliminate evil, his obligation is to maintain the peace of Gyeonggi, Kou Xianggong as a peaceful matter, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, his obligation is to assist the official family!
There is no absolute right and no absolute obligation in the world, even the emperor is the same, if you use it well, the water can carry the boat, and if you use it badly, the water will overturn the boat! ”
Kou Zhun on the side had already begun to tremble, his eyes looked at Chen Lin blankly, he was shocked by the prince's right to say, such a concise and concise few words can explain the meaning of human life.
It's just born to know! These words are close to the existence of the Tao, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the principle of heaven!
Zhao Heng is very happy now, he even feels that even if he goes to see Taizu Taizong now, he can explain it, and his son must have the ability to make up for the mistakes he made before.
"What the prince said is heaven-shattering, but how can people perform their duties and do their own way?" Kou Zhun asked curiously, and even Zhao Heng on the side looked at him.
"Without him, the law is sound and the government is impartial!"
Kou Zhun nodded disappointedly: "It can only be like this." ”
Before Zhao Zhen said the answer, he thought of this solution, and it seems that there is only one solution!
"Taizu Taizong is all clouds and scholars share the world, and the official family is even more so, why is this?"
Kou Zhun's words were like a knife, although they didn't want to die, they made Zhao Zhen have the pain of cutting flesh with a blunt knife! The civilian officials' constant suppression of military generals made Zhao Zhen feel disgusted.
This is the cure of the disease! He really couldn't figure out why civilian officials wanted to exclude military generals like this, and even famous ministers like Kou Zhun were not exempt from vulgarity.
Looking at the father who seemed to be smiling on the side, Zhao Zhen instantly sobered up, and there was no Taizu in his yellow robe! He himself was inspected by the Supreme Commander of the Zhou Forbidden Army.
Although Taizu ended the turbulent times of the Five Dynasties period, he himself seized power by mutiny, of course, he suppressed the generals even more, but the official family of the Great Song Dynasty still relied on the military generals to defend the border, so they could only put the civil officials above the military generals, and then give the glory of the general's wife and son.
"Kou Xianggong is forcing me to make a statement!" Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly and looked at his father.
Facing his son's request for help, Zhao Heng smiled: "You think Kou Xiang is forcing you, but I want to tell you that the reason for the demise of the Sui and Tang dynasties is all because of the excessive military power of the generals, do you think which emperor of the Sui and Tang dynasties is extremely mediocre?" ”
"Emperor Yang Guang of Sui!" Zhao Zhen didn't want to answer.
Kou Zhun and Zhao Heng shook their heads in unison, obviously they did not agree with Zhao Zhen's statement.
"Yi'er still reads less history books, combined with the situation at the time, it was a wise move for Emperor Yang of Sui to conquer Goguryeo in the north, and he led the army that supported him to kill Goguryeo in order to return triumphantly and sweep away the family with the power of thunder! At that time, the family gate valve had seriously affected the rule of the Sui Dynasty, and the land annexation had reached the level of outrageous neighbors, and the court was full of their children. ”
Zhao Zhen looked at his father blankly, but he didn't expect his understanding of history to be so weak that he couldn't admire it, so he raised his hand to help Zhao Zhen pinch his shoulder. He really came from the bottom of his heart and admired his father's meticulousness.
But his father's next words shocked him even more: "Scholars and military generals, land and commerce are like yin and yang, converting each other, scholars are strong, military generals are weak, and vice versa, heavy agriculture suppresses business." This is like Tai Chi, when the yang is prosperous, the yin is declining, and when it is prosperous, it turns yin, and the most important thing about the cycle of the two is to see how you master it! A capable minister may not be of good character, and a gentleman may not necessarily have the talent to govern the country, Yi'er, you remember that the holy monarch is not afraid of traitorous ministers, and the faint monarch is afraid, you have to use the capable minister well but you can't be led astray by him! ”
The last sentence he shouted almost hoarsely.
Kou Zheng nodded silently on the side, he and Zhao Heng are old partners, they helped the Great Song Dynasty to advance together, they have been on the battlefield, they have enjoyed the rule of Xianping, and after seeing Zhao Heng's eyes, he said: "The merits of Emperor Yang of Sui are indelible, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has played a vital role in my Great Song Dynasty!" It's a pity that he failed to triumph with the momentum of thunder.
And the Tang Dynasty has not been able to eliminate the threat of the gate lord clan, the generation of male lords of Tang Taizong can't destroy them, the eldest grandson family, the Wei Chi family, isn't that the minister of the troubled country? What about the current Great Song Dynasty? Have you ever seen a family gate valve, even if there is a family family, it is just the Kong family in Shandong, even if the Sanhuai Wang family is just a scholarly family, for the mansion to let the granddaughter come forward, this is considered a door valve? “
Zhao Zhen has become numb, Daddy's dialectics, and Kou Zhun's overall view are all at a height beyond his reach: "The Great Song Dynasty did not have a gate valve because it took away the military power of Jiangmen, and the emphasis on commerce and agriculture was to deal with land annexation?" ”
Zhao Heng eased his spirit and said with a weak smile: "Well, yes, Yi'er is already very close, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain!" Why were the history books of the former dynasties written by the later dynasties? Is Emperor Yang of Sui a faint monarch? No, he's just a loser! ”
Zhao Zhen nodded This is a fact, although there is a practice of not repairing history in this dynasty, people say that repairing history will kill the country, in fact, it is useless to repair it, and the dynasty that replaces it will be copied and rewritten in order to maintain its rule!
It's the winner's right! It is also a time to enjoy the glory, throughout the history books, the founding monarchs are all heroes, turning the tide in both the upside down to support the building of the generals, the more incompetent the later, even the lord of Zhongxing is few, this is the history books, this is history!
