Whenever there is a major military event, the emperor is undecided, or he can't think about it, he has to learn from his grandmother Zhang Changpu and want to hear her opinion. He knows that this grandmother is literate and hyphenated, and she is particularly fond of history, and her husband Zhong Xuan (yáo) and her son Zhong Hui are both people around the emperors of several dynasties, and the things in the court are in her heart.

Sure enough, Zhang Changpu listened to it and said to Xun 勖 (xù):

"If the edict imitates the ancient princes in selecting talents, integrating military affairs with government decrees, and supervising military affairs in the feudal territory, then the edict is right. As for the separation of fixed fiefdoms, but the intimacy is different, this is of course also good. However, if the old soil is torn apart, I am afraid that there will be turmoil, and the hearts of men will be changed rapidly.

"It should still be left untouched. If you encounter a certain situation and have to transfer the fiefdom, as long as it does not divide the territory and damage the interests of the feudal state, you can act appropriately and save it. The fifth-class feudal state was practiced in ancient times, and today it is not a system, but a false name, in fact, it is no different from the feudal system of the county and township pavilions in the old days.

"If you change it in a hurry, I'm afraid it will be a pity. The big issues are solved first, and the issue of the five-class system can be decided later. Although there are things that have been improved over time, there are temporary problems that have to be solved, and they cannot be ignored. ”

Sometimes, there is some truth in a woman's words, especially those of an old woman.

We talk about the feelings of the family and the country, think about the problem, and consider the country from the perspective of the family; Home, from the perspective of the country, there is nothing that does not solve the problem. Zhang Changpu is to consider the major affairs of the country from the perspective of his family, and many problems can be easily solved.

Xun Miao said these words to Emperor Wu in the court.

Emperor Wu thought that Xun Miao's opinion was acceptable, so he listened to his opinion in many places. The hundreds of officials in the court also recognized and admired Xun Miao's grandmother's words.

…… ……

The DPRK and China also discussed cutting half of the prefecture and county officials to support agricultural production.

"Provincial officials are not as good as provincial officials, provincial officials are not as good as provincial officials, and provincial officials are not as good as pure hearts (typical old woman mentality). In the past, Xiao He and Cao Shen were Han Xiang, with a pure heart, and the people had the ballad of 'Xiao He is the law, and if you draw one', this is the foundation of pure heart.

"Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty hung his clothes and ruled the world, and almost no criminal law was used, which was the result of saving trouble. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty merged the officials, and the county officials and Guoyi set up one-tenth of the original officials, which were provincial officials. During the reign of Wei Taihe, he sent envoys from the imperial court to streamline the officials of the world; In the first years, the counties were also merged, which were provincial officials.

"If you want to seek the root now, you should put saving trouble first.

"People in official positions must let them know Xiao He's heart, so as to assist the country and educate them. Emphasizing righteousness and harmony, so that those who are favored by evil ways will not be allowed to occupy official positions, then hypocrisy will naturally disappear, and flashy people will be afraid of shrinking.

"Respect and respect, still be content, so that the cheap do not harm the noble, the young do not bully the elderly (do not forget to fight for the rights and interests of the elderly), the estranged do not separate close relatives, the new acquaintance does not separate old friends, the small do not add to the big, and the adultery does not break the righteous acts, then the upper and lower are at peace, and the people near and far trust each other. If an official position cannot be obtained by means of drilling, and honor cannot be obtained by being touted by friends, then the right and wrong will be clarified, and the official will not be deceived.

"Those who remove miraculous skills and suppress dissenting opinions, so as to change the old rules and get extraordinary benefits by luck, will be punished more severely, and the officials will perform their duties, and the people's will will not see different thoughts. The incumbent officials are tireless, and those who keep their duties are tireless day and night, even if they are short-minded, they can fulfill their duties.

"Trust from top to bottom is like a golden stone, even if there are small mistakes, it will not hinder the country's major policies, and we should be patient and tolerant (all reflect the mentality of the elderly). The implementation of laws and regulations will certainly be easier for the people to accept. Gain is like looking forward to spring, and avoiding punishment is like being afraid of thunder and lightning. It is not permissible to let the small decrees annoy the people and be despised by the officials, nor can they be changed at the dawn of the day to make the people disgusted, so that the officials will do their duty wholeheartedly, and the people will support the laws of the state.

"Divide duties and set up officials, and entrust political affairs to achieve results. A gentleman competes upwards in his heart and does not compete with each other with strength, evaluates his own talent and accepts the position, and if he cannot find his position, the official has no extraneous career, and there is little treachery in political affairs. These are what I call the cost of saving. If there is no disadvantage of many things, although he is not a provincial official, the people of the world also think that he is a provincial official.

"If you want a provincial official, I think that the duties of the nine temples can be merged into Shangshu, and the affairs of Lantai should be handed over to the three prefectures. However, the current system has been used by the world for many generations, so for a long time there has been such an idea but it has not dared to put forward. As for saving trouble, it is better to be realistic.

"If only general regulations are made and they are all reduced by half, I am afraid that the civil and military officials, the duties and responsibilities of the county and the state will be different. Whoever gives orders, those who are allowed by the rules can make the people safe, and those who are irregular and chaotic will make the government and the way (yō).

g) Plug. Whoever comes to work must be careful about what is gaining and what is lost. that the faithful and discerning rulers may judge the appropriate measures, and make a list of them.

"Then consider it comprehensively, and if it is advisable to save it, then the order must be carried out and cannot be shaken. If not, I am afraid that it will only confuse the audio-visual, which will cause the front to be omitted, the back to be restored, or more complicated, which cannot be ignored. ”

——These words, according to the historical books, are said to be said by Xun Miao to Emperor Wu, which is wrong. You haven't carefully analyzed, how many insights of this old woman Zhang Changpu are here? Xun Miao has a super good memory, so he just repeated Zhang Changpu's words. So, is there any Xun Miao's language in it? Admittedly, there will definitely be some.

…… ……

In the third year of Taikang (282 years), Sima Yan issued an edict, "Xun Miao is smart and accessible, discerns the destiny of heaven, has the merit of starting a business, and has erudition and knowledge." He has served in office for a long time, has made outstanding achievements, consulted the government, and was strategic. He should ascend to the throne to assist the government. Now Xun Miao is the Guanglu doctor, the three divisions of Yitong, and the opening of the palace to summon Peng's subordinates, and the titles of the secretary of Shouzhong, Shizhong, and the Marquis of Jibei remain unchanged. ”

At that time, Taiwei Jia Chong and Situ Li Yin died one after another, and the position of prince and prince was vacant. Xun Miao then said to the table, "There should be suitable candidates for the positions of the third prince and the crown prince. If Yang Jue is made the crown prince, it must be in line with the holy will. Shang Shu Ling Wei Qian and Shangshu Shantao of the Ministry of Officials can all serve as Situ. If it is considered that Wei Qiang's new Shangshu Ling is inconvenient to reappoint, then Shantao is more suitable. ”

Sima Yan took these suggestions.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Taikang (283), floods occurred in various prefectures and counties, especially in Yanzhou. Xun Shangjiao believes that a water messenger should be set up.

After that, Shi Yixian and Zhao Xian were appointed as palace servants and were in charge of the provisions of the law.
