Chapter 527: The Retainer
"Stop?"
Heifu looked at Chen Ping and gave Chen Ping's strategy a pertinent evaluation in his heart......
"Insightful!"
Indeed, it is not enough to be a plasterer, unity, this is a road that no one has traveled before, the carriage runs wildly on this treacherous path, over one bump after another, but if you do not slow down and rest, sooner or later the car will be destroyed and people will die. When this car hovers backwards and hits the road again, it will be Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a hundred years later......
It was not difficult for him to realize this as a traverser, but Chen Ping was aware of this danger when the empire was still at its peak, and he was really a talent.
Heifu only sighed that he had found the right person, picked up a treasure, and then moved his knees on the seat, approached Chen Ping, and waved at him: "Chen Ping, tell me your thoughts in detail!" ”
This is between the monarch and the minister, the front seat of the very high treatment, Chen Ping did not dare to say anything, bowed to the black man, and then said: "For more than 500 years, the princes have been divided, the battle for the land, the killing of Yingye, the battle for the city, the killing of the city. The people who were wasted ploughed in spring and harvested in autumn, and those who died of hunger, cold, and cold were innumerable. ”
"Now that the sea is unified, the people of Li have to get rid of the suffering of the war, and the people are calm. However, the imperial court has no year to conquer, of course, the subordinates also know that even if there is no battle of the Xiongnu and Yueshi, there will be a battle of the southern expedition. But the foreign war is endless, the internal affairs are not stable, and the big projects are one after another. The Great Wall, Chi Road, etc., but the palace and Lishan, in order to satisfy His Majesty's desires, seize the people's use, and abolish the people's benefits, more and more labor is needed every year, so the people run on the road, and the fields and crops are abandoned in the wilderness, and the people of the world want to rest but cannot ......"
In short, Chen Ping believes that the disadvantage of Qin's government is that the government decrees are too frequent and the burden is too heavy, so that the people have no time to breathe.
If this continues, cattle and horses will be tired, let alone people?
Chen Ping was born at the bottom, although his status and title are becoming more and more respectful, but his eyes have been looking down, the more he looks, the more he frowns, in his hometown Yangwu County, people have long been tired of labor, and they also make trouble about the tragic incident of not raising children, scraping toilet soil and boiling salt, Liangdi, which has always been rich, is still like this, not to mention other places.
In his opinion, the Qin Dynasty was already a patient who was strong on the outside and capable on the inside, and he had won successes on the outside, but he was becoming more and more empty on the inside.
This is a good metaphor, and Heifu laughed: "If you were asked to prescribe a medicine to this patient, how would you prescribe it?" ”
Chen Ping offered what he thought was a recipe: "Huang Lao should be used to govern him!" ”
"Huang Lao?"
Heifu knows that Chen Ping studied Huang Lao when he was young, and Qi Di is the most prosperous place for Huang Lao's learning, and the works of Jixia School Palace are mostly Huang Lao's thoughts, and Chen Ping has close contacts with the local Huang Lao people during his time in Jiaodong County, and he has picked up the knowledge lost in the early years, and his thinking has slowly changed.
The subordinates thought that at this time, the imperial court could no longer be as fierce as before. Now that the Six Kingdoms have been destroyed and Hulu has been broken, why not be rigid and soft, and enrich the world. ”
To put it bluntly, it is to advocate ruling by inaction politically and implementing light taxation in the economy. This is a typical Huang Lao thought.
Chen Ping highly admired this set: "Taoism does nothing, and it is said that there is nothing to do." Among them, the study of Huang Lao, because of the great shun of yin and yang, the goodness of Confucianism and ink, the importance of naming and law, migrating with the times, responding to changes in things, and doing things according to customs, is inappropriate. "In short, it is easy to make a promise, and it is more to do less."
However, Chen Ping is not the same as the typical Huang Lao, he thinks that he still has to be like a black man to treat the nobles of Zhutian, using the same tricks as a legalist, and killing them all. After that, Huang Lao warmed up the monks and recuperated with the people, but it does not mean that nothing will be done, and the government can also take the lead in doing something for the benefit of the people.
Guan Zhong is Chen Ping's most admired practitioner: "The policy of Guanshan and Hai comes from Guan Zhong, but the difference with today is that Guan Yiwu set the benefits of light and heavy fish and salt, while benefiting the country, it is also used to support the poor, Lu is virtuous, so everyone is happy, and then King Qi Wei, King Qi Xuan, King Qi Xiang, and King Qi Jian, all follow this policy, so the wealth of Qi people is the best in the world." ”
"What you say is reasonable, governing the country with Huang Lao is indeed a good way to blindly save the crisis......"
Heifu clapped his hands and praised, but then sighed: "But Chen Ping, have you forgotten?" Qi became rich with the government of Huang Lao, and he also died with the government of Huang Lao! ”
The biggest problem with Huang Lao's technique is that the people are comfortable and used to it, and the country's efficiency is low. With such a population and such a rich country, Qi is under the increasing pressure of Qin, and the nest is an example.
Although this pot had to be carried by Qi Wang Jian and Hou Sheng, at that time, even if the masses were mobilized, the Qi people, who had long been accustomed to being comfortable, were definitely not opponents in front of the Qin army's tiger and wolf division.
The economic and cultural prosperity of Qi has not been transformed into a military power, and it is destined to not survive in troubled times.
Therefore, Qin and Qi, one is purely Legalist, and the other is purely Huang Lao's inaction, which is simply the extreme of the two political systems, and now, although he knows that Huang Lao can save the world, he should recommend this policy to Qin Shi Huang and let him approve it? It's a dream!
"I heard that the people of Qi like to watch horse racing, and now the seven cars are competing in the field, and Qin Chejian is on the sidelines, taking the way of the Legalists, so he is far ahead, beating the remaining six cars and winning the first place. The person in the car has already recognized that this road is right, and at this time told him that he has to stop, turn around and take another road, how can he listen? ”
Not to mention, with the character of Qin Shi Huang, he is very similar to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in later generations, he wants to do things with all his strength, but he thinks that this carriage and horse are not fast enough, and he is waving his hand and whipping vigorously, where is he willing to stop or even turn his head, asking him to believe in Huang Lao? Impossible, impossible in this life!
Chen Ping avoided the table at this time and bowed to the black master: "What the county monarch said is right, as long as the current emperor is in power, it is impossible to stop this car!" ”
Heifu was stunned at first, he didn't expect that Chen Ping would be able to say such bold words. Immediately changed his face, stood up suddenly, walked to the closed door, there were two guards guarding outside, Heifu opened the door, told them to go farther, and no one was allowed to approach, then he personally closed the door, turned back and pointed at Chen Ping and reprimanded in a low voice:
"Bold! You are the words of the Yi people! ”
"Ping is telling the truth."
Chen Ping was not afraid: "Jun Jun, Your Majesty has become more and more urgent in recent years to find the Western Queen Mother Country, and he no longer smiles at the Fang Shi who boasts that there are immortal pills from Immortal Islands overseas. If a person is healthy and not afraid of death, why should he seek the way of immortality? According to the guess of the subordinates, although His Majesty is strong, but his body is probably not as good as before, ten years later, the high seat of Zhangtai Palace will probably be replaced by the second emperor! ”
Sure enough, although he said that Huang Lao was talking about his ambition of "reaching the goal and helping the world", Chen Ping was Chen Ping, and after seeing the poor dagger, every sentence had a taste of conspiracy.
"If history had not changed, there would not have been even a decade ......"
Heifu said secretly in his heart, but his face was straight: "So what? ”
"Junjun, people are dead."
Chen Ping's eyes were blazing: "Although the emperor is called long live, he will die after all, and the prime minister who is in charge of the government will also be replaced because of this!" ”
Heifu shook his head with a smile: "Chen Ping, Chen Ping, every word you say now can be convicted, are you really not afraid of death!?" ”
Chen Ping patted his chest and said: "The minister is the mastermind, what is the crime?" ”
The title has changed, Chen Ping regards himself as a minister, mainly Heifu, he is a Wei man, although he is a Qin official, he is still Heifu's subordinate and private minister, and he serves Heifu, not the imperial court.
Chen Ping was also sure that Heifu would never blame himself, because every word he said was for the sake of the lord he was loyal to!
Sure enough, Heifu stopped talking, looked at Chen Ping, and let him finish.
"The lord once said that the prince and the general would rather have a kind? Ran Ping thought that the feudal marquis was just an honorable status, but to that extent, he didn't necessarily have any real power. And in this world, there can be many princes and princes at the same time, but at the same time, there can only be one powerful right prime minister! ”
"The prime minister, the son of heaven is in charge of yin and yang, and the four seasons are in order, and the lower is the appropriateness of all things, and the princes of the four Yi are filled in outside, and the people are attached to the inside, so that the doctors can each take their posts. The ministers avoided the way, refused to pay homage to hundreds of bureaucrats, set national policies, and countersigned edicts, which is the son of heaven, and it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people! The Son of Heaven is sitting in the car, and the prime minister is holding on to it, and the direction of this carriage naturally has the power to interfere! ”
"Ten years ago, in Humu Township, Yangwu County, the lord once said that Ping has the ambition to dominate the world? Ping admits that there is, and the county can see this, so is there no such ambition? ”
Chen Ping bowed again: "Lord, Chen Ping's ideal is to help the monarch ascend to this throne!" Thus changing the course of the carriage! ”
He lowered his head, Heifu couldn't see his eyes, and he didn't know if this was Chen Ping's heart.
Heifu was silent, and in front of him was a large bronze sword that was dressed properly, which failed to reflect Chen Ping's eyes, but reflected Heifu's entire face.
Heifu found that he was in the middle of the test, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face......
Chen Ping lowered his head for a long time, and counted twenty breaths until Heifu walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed:
"You're right, ruling the world, this is my ambition!"
