Chapter 848: Explicit Meaning
"Wrong?" Tang Yu was stunned for a moment.
He thought that even if the King of Chu would not fully support his proposal, he would consider his suggestion in detail. But he never thought that he had just said the plan, and the king of Chu directly refused.
"My lord, why is this, the minister is stupid, and I would like to hear about it." Tang Yu said, bowed directly, but after speaking, he didn't get up.
Seeing this, Xiong Huai shook his head again.
Changing the law is a process of learning from each other and then making improvements.
At that time, Li Kui's reform method improved Zhao Jianzi's reform, and Wu Qi's reform law was the evolution of Chu State on the basis of Li Kui's reform, and Shang Ying's reform method largely absorbed the experience and lessons of Li Kui's Wu Qi reform.
The cultivation and warfare system established by Shang Ying in the Qin State did greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Qin State and made the Qin State stand tall in the Guanzhong.
Therefore, Xiong Huai is not surprised that Tang Yu learned from Shang Ying's successful experience.
To tell the truth, Xiong Huai himself often checked the process of Shang Ying's transformation and deduced the mystery of the powerful country.
For this reason, the bamboo slips of Shang Ying's transformation have been broken five or six times, which can be regarded as a real experience of the state of Wei's compilation of the three uniques when Confucius read "Zhou Yi".
Similarly, Xiong Huai had also seriously pondered whether the way in which the Qin State benefited from oneness was also applicable to the Chu State. But in the end, Xiong Huai gave up this plan.
The reason is not anything else, but that the current Chu State is too big, and the situation of the Chu State is much better than the original Qin State.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at Tang Yu, who was bowing in front of him, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Xianqing, do you know why Dayu succeeded in controlling the water back then?" ”
Hearing this, Tang Yu straightened up, and then looked at the King of Chu hesitantly and said, "The king, the minister knows that it is to dredge into the sea." ”
"Yes, it's about dredging into the sea!" Xiong Huai sighed, and then spoke: "Back then, Zhaogong once said to King Zhou Li: The mouth of the people is more important than the mouth of the Sichuan, and it is ten times more dangerous than blocking the water flow to hinder the people from speaking. However, today, the widow wants to say that blocking the road to profit for the people is a hundred times more dangerous than blocking the mouths of the people. ”
"This..." Tang Yu was stunned.
Xiong Huai smiled and continued: "Xianqing, when Shang Ying changed the law, the Qin State was repeatedly defeated by Wei, and the land was only two hundred miles, and the number of people was less than two million. Therefore, just as Dayu's father Kun was able to block the flow of water at the beginning of the flood, Shang Ying was also able to block all the interest channels in the Qin State at that time, and then left only a small hole for the people to desperately drill into it.
However, the current state of Chu..."
Saying that, Xiong Huai shook his head: "Not only Xianqing, you can't block other roads, even the widow can't block it, once it is forcibly blocked, it is encouraged to maintain, but when it is really impossible to block the embankment, the widow beware of this monstrous wave, which will destroy the entire Chu State in an instant." ”
Tang Yu was stunned, and with the narration of the King of Chu, he seemed to see a huge wave hundreds of zhang high, drowning the scene of the entire Chu State in an instant.
Thinking about it, Tang Mo suddenly shuddered, cold sweat broke out on his head, and then he bowed again and again: "The king, the minister is guilty of capital crimes... Capital crime. ”
When Xiong Huai heard this, his right hand raised slightly and said: "Xianqing, please hurry up, the monarch and the minister are right, only can and can't, how can there be any guilt or not." Since the method just now is inappropriate, our monarchs and ministers continue to discuss it again, why should Xianqing ask for guilt. ”
"King Xie!" Hearing this, Tang Yu saluted again, and then straightened up.
At this time, Xiong Huai couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that Tang Mo got up, and saw that there was sweat on his head and a lot of horror on his face.
From Tang Fu's words just now, Tang Mo has already intended to carry out changes in Jiangdong, and has been preparing for a long time.
In this regard, Xiong Huai, as the king of Chu, naturally hopes that the more important ministers of change, the better, the greater the power of change, and the wider the place of change, the better, so that in order to change the color of the law in the future, the less resistance encountered, and the greater the power to promote the change.
Therefore, he, the king of Chu, naturally wants to support and encourage Tang Yu, especially the current situation in Jiangdong, which is a good opportunity to change the law.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled and said: "Xianqing, although the Qin State will not work in the Chu State, but the widow thinks that Xianqing's idea of setting up titles for ordinary people is still feasible, but you can't only rely on military merits to improve your title."
After all, our Chu country has a land of more than 7,000 miles and a population of more than 10 million, and when formulating policies, we must not only consider the two thousand miles of Jiangdong and the two million people here, but also consider the millions of people on the other 5,000 miles. ”
When Tang Wu heard this, his heart suddenly rejoiced, and the King of Chu's expectations for him were already beyond words.
At that time, he participated in Qu Yuan's reform, and after encountering a setback, he had to go out to take refuge, and not long after Qu Yuan was also relegated to Xiangyang.
Ten years have passed, and he has been promoted to the position of Sima because of his merits, and Qu Yuan has also been appointed as a left-handed disciple because of his merits.
During the period when he was guarding Yuedi, Yingdu was shocked, and under the impetus of Qu Yuan, the state of Chu first carried out a huge promotion and assessment, and then set up three counties in northern Han. And the three newly established counties are obviously based on Qu Yuan's horse.
This made Tang Wu seem to see that after more than ten years, Qu Yuan once again set off a wave of change in the Chu State, which also made Tang Wu see hope again.
Tang Yu's hope has never been to become a famous person like Zhaoyang, who was promoted to Ling Yin with his military exploits, but in the end he did nothing and did nothing to govern the country. His goal is to become the kind of Guan Zhong, promote the good and eliminate the bad, improve politics, and become famous through the ages.
It's just that because of the previous failure, the whole country was boiling, and in order to protect the family, he put away his ambitions and took the road of military merit promotion safely and steadily. But this road, Sima or Zhu Guo has already reached his end. Today's Chu State, since Wu Qi, has not had a non-public Ling Yin for almost two hundred years.
However, the words of King Chu just now made him see hope again.
The so-called 7,000 miles of land and tens of millions of people in the Chu State should be taken care of, isn't this just who will be the Ling Yin of the Chu State in the future?
It is true that Qu Yuan was one step ahead of him in the place of northern Han, but the land of northern Han is the homeland of the Chu State, even if it was ravaged by Qin and Han once, its power is still intertwined, and it is difficult to start the next step.
In particular, the three counties of northern Han also have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of resisting Qin, Han, Wei and other countries, and there can be no great turmoil.
Therefore, Tang Yu once predicted that at least in two or three years, it would still be difficult for Qu Yuan to carry out a comprehensive reform in northern Hanbei.
However, Jiangdong is not, Jiangdong is newly attached, and most of the original Yue power has been destroyed, and when the king of Chu divided the feudal after the war, he did not seal any fief to Jiangdong, so the aristocratic power of Chu did not extend to Jiangdong.
In this way, Jiangdong is the best base for law change.
If his Tang Wu's reform in Jiangdong has been completed, and Qu Yuan's reform in Hanbei has just begun, in this way, when the king of Chu wants to promote the change to the entire Chu State, the Ling Yin candidate at that time...
Even if the King of Chu is closer to Qu Yuan, even if Qu Yuan is a member of the Gong family, but in the face of the general trend, the presiding officer of the law change is none other than him.
At this moment, he really saw hope.
As long as the two major clans of Zhaojing do not fully support Qu Yuan's reform, then the current Qu Yuan will not be able to compete with him at all.
Perhaps, thousands of years later, when the world talks about the fame of Chu, he is the mainstream, but Qu Yuan is just a foil.
Thinking about it, Tang Yu immediately bowed his eyes and said, "King, the minister understands. As far as the minister is concerned, as long as he has the support of the king, everything else is nothing. ”
