Yelulon's benevolence and righteousness are the foundation, and the two of them ask each other's questions
Just now, Yelu Xiuge was scolded by Yelu Longxu, and he understood the main reason why Yelu Longxu didn't let himself act so quickly, which can also show how smart he is Yelu Longxu, there are many smart people in Liao, and he Yelu Longxu is one of the best and one of the most powerful people.
In fact, now in Lanzhou, this time is also big enough, and Yelu Longxu has never said the situation? It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he feels that his means sometimes can be used or not, Yelu Longxu is very scheming, it can also be said that it is too heavy, no one knows what he Yelu Longxu is thinking at this time? No one dared to ask, this is where his cleverness lies?
At this time, Yelu Xiuge said to him, Yelu Long continued: "Your Majesty, now we have taken Lanzhou, but a group of Diao people outside the city actually resisted our soldiers of Daliao and refused our request, they said that they themselves had already paid taxes the year before last, and now they have to pay taxes, this is their disrespect for the emperor, Wechen thinks that this is their incomprehension of you, Wechen wants us to send a few people to arrest this group of people, after all, if others give them the same example, resist taxes, what then?" No matter how much you ask, it's not too much, and it's not like the Song people who want their attitude too much, so Weichen thinks it's better to arrest them, I hope the emperor can see clearly, long live the emperor. ”
Yelu Longxu also realized that the people around Lanzhou were also because they had just experienced the war, and they only took into account the lives of the people in the city, and some of the people in the city did not experience paying agricultural taxes themselves, but they pushed all the agricultural things to the people outside the city These problems have arisen, although they have been exempted or reduced, but the basic problems have not been solved, and the agricultural tax has been important from ancient times to the present, especially in their new state, they must solve the problem as soon as possible. Yelulong continued to love the people like a son, but these things were also new problems that he remembered, after all, if the soldiers kept asking for taxes, this was also a major matter related to the country, and if there was no other place, it would be easy to have big problems, so he himself had to solve it.
Yelu Long continued to angrily said to him Yelu Xiuge: "Now that I am in Daliao Xindezhou, the most important thing is to settle the hearts of the people, since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people will win the world, and the people of Lanzhou have always thought that we are a land of barbarians outside the country, and finally we entered Lanzhou, and they also have a full understanding of us, at this time, go to various places outside the border city to ask for agricultural problems?" In this way, how can we make the people of Lanzhou return to their hearts, and how can we make the people of the world believe that our Daliao will be able to govern Lanzhou well? Besides, when we took Lanzhou, the most important thing was to value the city, but we didn't pay attention to the people outside the city, which may be my fault, so I decided to reduce the taxes of the people outside the city for a year, and at the same time asked the soldiers to help the people of Lanzhou and repair the houses, and the people outside the city were also like this because of the corrupt officials of the Song Dynasty? It is precisely because I have been very busy recently, but I neglect to govern and affect the people, so I gradually relax it, so that the people's lives can be better satisfied, I hope Your Majesty will understand! ”
At this time, Yelu Hugo was very puzzled, why did he Yelu Long continue to do that? Yelulong didn't do it sooner or later, but he did such a thing at this time, he thought there was another reason for doing it?
I saw him smile and said to Yelulong: "Your Majesty has given you enough kindness before, and the emperor will not approve of your approach, and the emperor will know your benevolence, but is it too lenient to do it now, what if others say that you are hypocritical?" The emperor clearly investigates it, but Weichen still doesn't approve of your approach? ”
Yelu Longxu also smiled and said to Yelu Xiuge: "Brother Hugh, I know that your words of loyalty, kings from ancient times to the present do not like courtiers to insult their words, but I am different, because I am a person who wants to truly be the master, there is a way to get the way and help the unrighteous and help less, and the world will be good, and the world will judge it." I like faithful people, because you dare to tell the truth, and only when you tell the truth can I feel that I am not alone! There are some things you can say, and some things they can't say, because only if you tell the truth, do I think I have friends? In the same way, this time it is also my fault, because it is my fault, if I could have prepared earlier, it would not have been like this, Brother Hugh, you will send someone to tell the people on the border of Lanzhou on my behalf, tell them that I have exempted them from taxes for a year, and at the same time move them to the city? Because Wang Xu's sneak attack before caused countless deaths and injuries to the people, so I decided to do everything to the people around Puyang, Shanzhou, exempt them from taxes for two years, I must be blessed with the world at this time, because only in this way can the people of the world return to their hearts, so that the people of the world can eat enough, so that they can feel that the Great Liao Emperor is care, if we blindly collect taxes and plunder, we will lose the hearts of the people in the world, so in this way, we can better clean up the hearts of the people and collect the people of the world, General Hugh, do you understand? ”
Jeruhugo also said that the last general understood. The current Yelu Longxu's words are also called winning people's hearts, and it has always been difficult to guess the emperor's mind, and Yelu Longxu is also because of his full understanding of the opponent that there is something behind, at this time he has also thought about it for a long, long time, Yelu Longxu knows that his identity as a person cannot be revealed forever, and his identity as an emperor at this time, Yelu Longxu also knows that there are many times when he has to do it? This is the terrible thing about the emperor's mental tricks.
Yelu Hugo handed over the words of the emperor to his subordinates, and his subordinates took the five hundred taels of the waist bag that Yelu Longxu held alone and distributed it to the people outside the city, and the people were grateful for Yelu Longxu's contribution, which can also show that he Yelu Longxu had a benevolent heart, and Yelu Longxu placed good people to follow them, he was worried that if someone took the money privately, this could also show his Yelu Longxu's benevolent heart, and he knew that the next problem had been dealt with. It is precisely because this emperor is from modern times that he can make the common people live better, which also shows that Yelulong continues to be merciful!
From ancient times to the present, only one emperor can do it, except for Ming Taizu, the best emperor is him Tang Taizong. When it comes to Wei Zheng, we will all think that he was a famous official during the period of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and he also contributed his own strength to the opening of the prosperous era of Zhenguan, and sometimes he did not hesitate to die to admonish Li Shimin. His behavior made Li Shimin unable to do many inappropriate things. Single-mindedly simple, open the prosperous era of Zhenguan. But Wei Zheng was actually not a person from Li Shimin's camp at the beginning, but a person from Li Jiancheng, so why did Wei Zheng follow Li Shimin? Why did he give so many advice for Li Shimin? Let's take a look at it today.
Wei Zheng was a native of Julu (now Julu County, Hebei) in the Tang Dynasty, and became a Taoist monk when he was young because of his poor family, and later participated in the Wagang Rebellion led by Li Mi, and later attached to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the struggle between the crown prince Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin on the issue of succession to the throne was very fierce, and Wei Zheng actively gave advice to the crown prince, suggesting that the prince get rid of Li Shimin as soon as possible to remove the biggest obstacle to the smooth succession to the throne.
After the "Xuanwumen Change", Li Shimin ascended the throne, and Wei Zheng was not only not persecuted because he was Li Shimin's political enemy, but was favored by Li Shimin by virtue of his talent and outspoken character, and was appointed as a counselor. Wei Zheng was grateful to Tang Taizong regardless of his past suspicions, and was determined to do his best to assist Tang Taizong. Therefore, Wei Zheng often used a straightforward way to alert Tang Taizong, so that he never forgot the difference between Ming Jun and Duan Jun, and the truth of the distinction between entrepreneurship and success.
In the first year of Zhenguan (627), when Wei Zheng debated with Taizong of the Tang Dynasty on the difference between the faint monarch and the Ming monarch, he put forward the evaluation criterion of "listening to both the emperor is clear, and the partial belief is dark". He also used historical stories as a basis to demonstrate the correctness of this criterion from both positive and negative aspects. Historically, there have been many rulers who have been governed by listening to their subordinates extensively, such as Yao and Shun; Similarly, there are also rulers in history who were ruined because of bias and slander, such as Qin II's bias to Zhao Gao led to the death of the country, Emperor Wu of Liang was close to Zhu Yi and caused the Hou Jing Rebellion, and Emperor Yang of Sui listened to Yu Shiji and the world was in turmoil. These words inspired Tang Taizong very much, and made him deeply understand the truth that Renjun should listen to Guangna, which laid the foundation for his later humble admonition.
In the middle of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong was once complacent about his achievements, and his life began to be extravagant. In order to let Tang Taizong not forget the difficulty of keeping the success, Wei Zheng advised him to "be prepared for danger in times of peace, abstain from extravagance and frugality". In 637 A.D., Wei Zheng gave Tang Taizong Shangshu, which closely followed the core content of "those who think of the peace of the country must accumulate their virtues and righteousness", reminding Tang Taizong that if he wants to make the country stable for a long time, he must be prepared for danger in times of peace, abstain from extravagance and frugality, be content and self-disciplined, be modest and prudent, and accept advice with an open mind. These ten aspects played a major role in Tang Taizong's creation of "Zhenguan Governance". In order to make Tang Taizong start and finish well, in 639 AD, Wei Zheng gave Tang Taizong the famous "Ten Advice on Ten Gradual Failure to Stop the End", reminding Taizong from ten major aspects, persuading him to always be as frugal and cautious as in the early years of Zhenguan.
Under the persuasion of Wei Zheng, Li Shimin has always maintained diligence and thrift, and conscientiously managed everything in the Tang Dynasty, laying a good foundation for the opening of the prosperous era of Zhenguan. It can be said that with Wei Zheng, the prosperity of Zhenguan can be opened smoothly. Yelu Longxu wanted to learn most in history was Tang Taizong, and he knew that he was from later generations. All over the ancient and modern emperors, there has never been an emperor like him, so much knowledge, and it is precisely because of his benevolent heart that he has made everyone in Shanzhou come to the heart, and it is precisely because of this that this emperor has made his courtiers Yelu Hugo so many ministers respect him The main reason is that this emperor is wise!
