Chapter 116: The court meeting is in progress
The pilgrimage continued.
Tao Hou and Zhong Doctor Liu Zhong came out to worship and said, "The minister of the doctor Tao Hou gave up his life to play His Majesty's Xingyi Division, cut down no way, punished the traitors, set the land of Korea, the sea is boiling, Li Shu Qiantou, all for His Majesty to congratulate ......"
As soon as Liu Zhong appeared, he instantly stole everyone's attention.
Up and down the Han family, who doesn't know that the Taohou family is the most loyal dog leg of the Han Tianzi?
Always loyal to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, who is the Son of Heaven is loyal to whom, this long-standing popular subtext in the aristocratic circle of Chang'an City was first circulated from Taohou's family.
And the Taohou family did the same.
For generations, the Taohou family has been famous for kneeling and licking Weiyang Palace without discipline.
Of course, the payoff is also huge.
Liu Zhong's eldest son is now King Lu Cheng of the Han Dynasty, and in theory, he is a guest of the Han regime, as long as his brain is not stupid, he can rest with the country.
As long as the courtiers whose brains have not been kicked by a donkey, they all know that without the instruction of the Son of Heaven, Liu Zhong is a clay statue in the court.
In other words, Liu Zhong's meaning is the meaning of the Son of Heaven.
Previously, in the matter of the salt and iron order, the Son of Heaven did not let Liu Zhong come out and charge.
Is it possible?
Many people beat the drum in their hearts, and a huge question lingered in their hearts: "The Son of Heaven wants to do a big thing, and it is bigger than the movement of the salt and iron order?" ”
Throughout the ages, after ascending the throne, the emperor of the Liu family has always liked to create a new atmosphere, implement new policies, and even challenge new difficulties.
Didn't the first emperor try to challenge the forces of the separatist princes and kings in the country, and won a complete victory?
Thinking about it this way, countless people feel that there may be an unprecedented storm brewing.
As for the previous salt and iron order, I am afraid it was only a prelude to this storm.
Next, what is the Son of Heaven going to do?
Is it to roast the children of the princes and royal families on the fire? Or simply stab the knife at the dry city of the country, the pillar of the society. The rank of the princes and lords of the pillars of the Jongmyo Temple?
Such a possibility is not impossible!
In the past generations, young monarchs have not all liked to grasp the power of the queen. Challenging the established order and class?
King Qin Wu is a good example!
Countless people were uneasy in their hearts, and looked at Liu Zhong with serious eyes.
But Liu Zhong didn't seem to notice them, and said to himself, "Ran ......"
As soon as Liu Zhong's word came out, many people only felt a tremor in their hearts, "Look, it's really ...... like this"
"Then North Korea Xinna. The land is vast and the people are few, and the place where the barbarians are turned into foreigners, if the people of China are not stuffed, there is a risk of not being protected, and the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, and Emperor Gao also taught that the scholars are not allowed to be levied, and it is a crime to say that they do not teach. Korean nationals, formerly in the midst of the Huawai Yidi. Sent to the left, not educated, do not know Chinese characters, systems, laws, do not hear the majesty of Han officials, the law of Han law, the ministers are ignorant, do not know the ancient and modern things, and then the ministers are stupid, and they should choose the prime of the clan. Imitate the Zhou system, divide North Korea, take the mountains and rivers of Zhenshan, and turn razing into summer. Re-emigration and repatriation, in this way, decades later, North Korea became China! Liu Zhong finished speaking in one breath.
The ministers were dumbfounded.
That's it?
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand.
But what Liu Zhong said makes sense!
North Korean thing. It's time to start solving it!
The best way to control and assimilate North Korea, which has just been swallowed into its mouth, is to emigrate and send officials to govern, to demarcate counties, to set up townships, pavilions, and li, and to establish grassroots political power.
Or do you want to do that?
The ministers of the Han family themselves will feel that they are incompetent, derelict in their duties, and have failed to fulfill the king's grace.
Classical China, although it was domineering and arrogant to the outside world, and regarded Yidi as a human being and a beast, the Chinese of the Qin and Han dynasties killed foreigners, without even blinking their eyes, and slaughtered, broken, and beheaded at every turn.
But on the other hand, traditional Chinese culture makes the traditional Chinese scholars and aristocrats have a profound educational plot.
For the society of classical China, after occupying a certain place, the local people changed from Yidi birds and beasts to the people of the Celestial Empire, who paid taxes and served the people.
The former can be regarded as inappropriate, while the latter is protected by the Han law.
The so-called world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.
After eating a certain place,Of course, you have to implement a full set of sinicization in the local area.。
Including the establishment of government and grassroots townships, pavilions, and li, the measurement of land, the organization of the people to open up wasteland, the repair of hydraulic roads, the implementation of Chinese costumes, writing, and systems.
Of course, emigration, sending troops and officials to rule are all justifications.
This whole set of procedures, after the princes of Qi Henggong Jiuhe, once Kuang Tianxia, the Chinese played very skillfully, and the two modes were switched effortlessly.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were a period of comprehensive expansion of the Chinese nation in China.
Before the Spring and Autumn Warring States, Chinese people could go out and encounter nomadic peoples, fishing and hunting peoples, primitive tribes and other chaotic small tribes such as Dongyi, Beidi, and Inurong.
But by the middle and late Warring States period, the number of princes in the Zhou Chamber had changed from a few hundred to seven.
Even the Yidi tribes and various savage tribes who used to play soy sauce during the Five Hegemons War, served as a background board, and even participated in it, almost disappeared completely in China, and only Wu Yue and outside the Great Wall could still see them.
A very simple example, Ganquan Palace, the royal summer manor and sanatorium of the Han Dynasty, was a place for the Xiongnu to worship their ancestors more than 200 years ago. At that time, the Xiongnu often came to Ganquan Mountain in the summer to worship the ancestral gods.
What now?
Where did the vanished tribes go?
The answer is that they have either been wiped out, or have been integrated into the Chinese nation, or have fled to the Korean Peninsula, the ravines and ravines in the southwest, and the grasslands outside the Saiwai.
Just like the ancestor of the neon people, the dogleg of the Han family, the Hao tribe, in the Yin Shang period,
They lived in the Qilu generation, and by the time of the Western Zhou Dynasty, they were driven to the Korean Peninsula......
This is the origin of the Han family's own system that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty said, and the overlord is miscellaneous.
The inner king and the outer hegemony are the truths that the classical Chinese dynasties and rulers adhered to.
Previously, North Korea was the country of Yidi, and the Korean people were all Yidi, which was equivalent to a two-legged beast, and the Han courtiers couldn't care about it, and they didn't bother to care.
But now, the king has determined the entire territory of Korea, and the people of all ethnic groups in North Korea have also eaten pot pulp to welcome the king.
Then, it is imperative to turn razing into summer.
Therefore, countless courtiers began to have headaches.
Immigration, sending officials, and even dividing the princes and kings all require a lot of money, and they also require a steady stream of blood transfusions from the central government of the Han family.
This means that the workload of the Han court will increase greatly this year!
Jiuqing's important ministers, don't even think about running, even the layers of officials below have to devote themselves to this work.
The eyes of the whole world are staring!
So, everyone secretly looked at the Son of Heaven.
In this kind of militaristic matter, it can only be the Son of Heaven who takes the idea and gives the order!
As Hong Fan said, only to be blessed, only to be powerful, only to be jade. There is no minister to be blessed and to be a powerful food.
Feeling the gaze of the ministers, Liu Xun stood up.
After pacing two steps forward and making the following appearance, Liu Xuncai said, "What Tao Hou said, I think it is very good, the Queen Mother and I have agreed that King Xu of Guangling will move to the king of Joseon, and the following Hou Xunchen will discuss it with more than 2,000 stones!" ”
There is an unspoken rule in the politics of the Han Dynasty, that is, no matter how urgent the emperor wants to implement a certain policy, he must pretend to let the officials of the princes and lords of more than 2,000 stone discuss, discuss, come up with the answer he wants, and then follow the trend.
Sometimes, in the face of a major national adjustment, it is necessary to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the county guards, county lieutenants, the late nine kings of Zhishi, the ministers of the three dukes, and the princes and kings of the world.
It looks a bit like an aristocratic folk cook or a republic.
But in fact, not only Liu Xun is clear, but most of the princes and lords in the world also know it.
This was merely a means used by the emperor to demonstrate that his policy was the most widely supported and popular favor.
Moreover, this tradition is actually very fragile.
The emperor is in a hurry, and it is not for nothing that he puts aside this tradition and goes it alone.
For example, the first emperor's policy of cutting the feudal domain, there was a huge opposition from the government and the opposition, and even Shen Tujia openly stood up against the overly radical cutting of the feudal domain.
However, it is not an egg.
But the vitality of this tradition is very tenacious.
No matter how the rulers trample on it, how they destroy it, how they ignore it.
When one day this ruler or his heirs, in order to clean up people's hearts and unite the government and the opposition, will always take the initiative to pick it up.
In the middle of the reign of Emperor Xiaowu in history, he was basically a dictator.
No one, anything, or will can change his mind, and this tradition is trampled under his feet and trampled into the mud!
But so what?
In the later years of Emperor Xiaowu, Xiao Pig took the initiative to pick it up through a piece of paper.
During the period of Emperor Zhao, not to mention.
The local gentry and powerful landlords were even able to directly participate, discuss and revise state policy, and even influence ideology!
Several salt and iron conferences and Shiqu Pavilion debates were born in this context.
Therefore. In a sense, the emperor is the god, and the Western Han regime with unlimited monarchical power is the most popular (on the surface) in China's 2,000-year feudal history.
A cloth-clothed landlord can spray wildly at the ruling Dasi Nong.
A few poor scholars in the local area dared to jump out to criticize and criticize the ideology and core values of the country, and they succeeded!
Such a situation, even if it is the two Song Dynasty who boast of sharing the world with the scholars. It hasn't happened either!
Liu Xun had already used the monarch's power to trample on this tradition in order to quickly pass the salt and iron policy and form a superficial consensus between the government and the opposition.
If you play like this again, it will be too ugly.
Therefore, no matter what, Liu Xun has to show the world that I am not a single husband, and I am not a single person who dominates the world!
This is also the reason why Liu Xun arranged the discussion of immigration policy after the salt and iron policy.
It's just a simple psychological measure.
Now it seems that this strategy is not bad. At the very least, the immigration policy has successfully skipped the stage of ripping and talking, and has entered the stage of actual operation.
If you mention the immigration policy first, let's not talk about the salt and iron order that followed, these guys have the illusion of 'cooking for the people' in the immigration policy, and they act recklessly and challenge the monarchy.
"Ministers are edicted!" The ministers bowed their bows.
For those who can participate in and discuss national affairs, regardless of era, dynasty, nation, or race. Humanity is always full of interest.
Otherwise, the Politburo and the Organization Department of the neighborhood committee will not be so prosperous and powerful.
But alas, it is in the hands of a small group of people at the top of the pyramid where power is always concentrated.
This is also regardless of era, dynasty, nation, race or even ideology!
The world of the afterlife, compared to the world before the Common Era. The only difference in this regard may be that the top level of the pyramid has more space and can stand more bigwigs, while the lower class is addicted to propaganda or indoctrination thinking that they are 'masters of the country'.
But......
Is it possible?
Liu Xun chuckled lightly, and said softly in his heart, "I'm afraid that even if it is the interstellar era, it will go to the galaxy." It is still the small group of people who control the state and make policies, but the methods may be more advanced and more subtle, so that the majority of the people are more convinced that they are the masters of the state and the regime...... That's it......"
Thinking like this, Liu Xun said: "Today's court meeting is here."
Here, Zhu Qing go back and discuss what Tao Hou said, and at the next court meeting, come up with a specific and feasible plan, brainstorm, I will personally read Zhu Qing's strategy, and choose those who are worried about it! ”
Although, in fact, there are specific rough plans and plans, but the people's cooking, or what China calls in this era, the system of wide open speech, since it has been made, it must be done to the end!
What's more, the courtiers are all elites, many of them have practical work experience, and even many of them have participated in the granting of land and immigration work under Zhang Cang, with their opinions and supplements, there is only benefit to the immigrants and no harm.
The ministers then bowed three times, bid farewell to the Son of Heaven, and waited for Liu Xun to leave, they slowly got up, and according to the etiquette, they approached the Xuanshu Palace.
Then they all walked in the direction of the East Palace.
Most courtiers went to the East Palace, just to fulfill their obligations and greet the Empress Dowager Shangguan.
But Shangguan's relatives and some people with their own little abacus couldn't wait to report the content of today's court meeting to the Empress Dowager Shangguan, the current ruler of the East Palace.
Liu Xun stood on the palace wall of the Xuanshu Palace, looking at the ministers who were riding the gorgeous carriage along the road in the palace and under the escort of the guards.
To say that you have no opinion in your heart is a liar!
No king can tolerate his authority being shared, or even usurped.
Otherwise, the kings of later generations would not have made a rule that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and the little pig would not do anything to kill his mother and save his son.
It's just that Liu Xun also knows that the two-palace system is an unchangeable political iron law in the Han Dynasty.
As long as the Han regime still adheres to the basic principle of ruling the world with filial piety, the authority of the East Palace will not be reduced in the slightest.
This fact made Liu Xun clearly realize that it is very important to cultivate heirs, but it is even more important to educate the harem concubines!
The concubines shouldn't just stay in the palace and be cute and coquettish.
They should learn and master more knowledge, and have the vision and means.
And establish a system for concubines to learn and master knowledge.
Only in this way can we ensure the stability of the Han family!
As the emperor, Liu Xun knew one thing very clearly, that is, if after Liu Bang's death, the person in power was not Empress Lu but Mrs. Qi in the tragedy, then the current Han family may have been torn apart long ago, with wolf smoke everywhere, the princes divided, and the chaos endlessly!
The fact that Qin was able to remain strong and stable back then was also related to the fact that several monarchs in his history ascended the throne at a young age, and the Empress Dowager in power had first-class means and vision.
Among them, the Empress Dowager Xuan is even more powerful to turn the tide.
The Great Dynasty Meeting in January also officially ended, and according to the custom, the Son of Heaven went to Yongxian County to worship the Emperor of Heaven.
Liu Xun then bathed and changed clothes in the Yongxian Palace, burned incense and fasted for three days.
Then, at the respectful request of the temple officials such as Dazai and Taizhu in the Five Emperors Temple, they moved to the Five Emperors Temple to worship.
It is said to be the Temple of the Five Emperors, but it is not actually a temple.
Rather, there are five separate temples, and the temple sites are distributed in all directions of Yongxian County.
And Yongxian is a famous temple of gods.
According to the data alone, in the time of the old Qin, there were more than 100 large and small temples and dozens of shrines in Yongxian County.
These gods include the sun, moon, ginseng, chen, north and south dipper, glowing, taibai, year star, filling star, twenty-eight constellations, as well as heavenly gods such as Fengbo, Yushi, Sihai, Nine Ministers, and Fourteen Ministers.
Of course, there are also shrines to historical figures like Lord Du who became gods after death.
At the time of the old Qin Dynasty, these temples were like stars in the sky, tightly surrounding the four main temples in the south, east and west, that is, the temples of the four heavenly emperors of white, green, red and yellow.
It symbolizes that the four emperors represent the god Taiyi, who governs the past and future of the four directions of the universe.
After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he thought that his dynasty should be Shuide, so he admired the White Emperor, the color was still black, the number was six, and the sound was Da Lu.
When it came to the Han Dynasty, the situation was a little more delicate.
The story of Emperor Taizu Gao's beheading of the White Snake Uprising is familiar to the public.
If we talk about it according to common sense, according to the end of the five virtues, the water virtue should be followed by the fire virtue, and the Han should be the regime of the Red Emperor.
Pity......
Liu Bang is a big boss, and he has no culture, and he doesn't know what the five virtues are, the reincarnation of yin and yang.
This reckless founding emperor has done countless funny things.
For example, he used the crown and hat of Confucianism as a urinal, and showed off to his father naked, thinking that Lord Shi thought that he was a scoundrel and could not govern the industry, so he was not as good as Zhongli. What is the business of today?
These are just pediatrics.
This reckless son of heaven once passed by Yongxian County and visited the temple in Yongxian County, so he was more curious about why Qin only had the shrines of the four Heavenly Emperors? I remember there were five of them!
Where do the people below know the historical evolution of the Four Emperors Temple of the Qin Dynasty, they naturally can't answer.
couldn't answer this, Liu Bang's funny nature began to attack.
He waved his hand. As soon as Wang Ba's qi dispersed, an emperor's shrine was added in Yongxian County.
This emperor is the black emperor worshiped by the Han family now.
Moreover, the priesthood was in serious conflict with the god of the White Emperor Shaohui, which was worshipped in the Qin Dynasty.
What to do?
Cold salad, of course!
On this day it is the largest. The era of the second emperor, not to mention the end of the five virtues, the reincarnation of yin and yang is the physical rules, the operation of heaven, earth and stars. The size of the universe has to be according to the emperor's will.
So, the Black Emperor Dove set up by Liu Bang occupied the magpie's nest and robbed the White Emperor Shaohao's job.
If this is a mythical world, it is estimated that it will be a god-falling change that the sky and the earth are shattering.
However, Liu Bang's funny thing, as a descendant, especially a literate descendant, is actually very embarrassing.
But there is no way, ancestors are ancestors. I can only find a way to help wipe my ass.
It's just that as time goes on, this ass is getting harder and harder to wipe!
Who told Liu Bang to do this thing back then, it was too taken for granted, there were too many loopholes, and it was completely untenable in terms of law and logic.
Thinking about this, Liu Xun also sighed.
