Volume 13 Han Ji 5 (7)
The Marquis of Yingyin rode Jia Mountain, and said in the book that the way to control the chaos said: "When the ministers heard the thunder, they were all devastated. The pressure of ten thousand jun is all extinguished. The power of the Lord is not only like thunder, but also heavier than thunder. Not only is it like 10,000 people, but it is more than 10,000 people. Open the way and ask for advice, accept it with a pleasant face, show it with its words, and the scholars are afraid and dare not speak. How much more is indulgence in rage, and does not want to hear of his faults? Shocking it with power, pressing it with weight, although there is the wisdom of Yao Shun and the courage of Meng Ben, how can there be anything that is not broken? In this way, the master of the people will not be able to hear about it, and the society will be in danger.
In the past, the Zhou Dynasty unified 1,800 princely states, and raised 1,800 kings with the people of Kyushu, and the monarch had surplus wealth. The people have more than enough to sing. The Qin Emperor supported himself with 1,800 people, and he could not overcome his battles. Wealth cannot be overwhelmed. And he is just a gentleman, and what he raises is just the entertainment of galloping and hunting. The world can't offer. Emperor Qin thought that his merits were infinite and could be passed on to his descendants for thousands of generations, but only a few months after his death, the people of the world rebelled. So much so that the Jongmyo became extinct. What caused Emperor Qin to be in danger and not know it? It's because no one in the world dares to say anything to him. Why did no one in the world dare to speak out to him? It is because he has lost the meaning of providing for the elderly, and the minister of auxiliary. Because he retreats from slanderers, he kills those who speak upright. The government and the opposition are full of ministers who are fornicating. If you talk about his virtue, he is better than Yao Shun. Speaking of his merits, he can surpass Tang Wu. But the world has collapsed, and no one dares to speak out.
Now His Majesty is virtuous and upright, and everyone in the world looks to him. Thought that it would be the way of Xingyao Shun. This is the work of the three kings. The people of the world are all working hard to conform to the virtues of His Majesty, and most of the people of the square are now in the imperial court. Your Majesty also chose his wise men, and made them his constant servants. Galloping with them to shoot and hunt, going out again and again a day, the ministers were afraid that the court would be relieved, and the officials would be lazy with the directors. His Majesty ascended the throne, personally reluctantly to the world, love the people with frugality, and put the prison on probation, and the people of the world are happy. When the minister heard that the officials in Shandong had issued an edict, the people listened with their canes even though they were sick and sick. I only hope that in my lifetime, I can see the prosperity of Dehua Daxing. Nowadays, the virtue is on the side, and the virtuous name is written. Winds in all directions. His Majesty and the ministers of the heroes, the righteous people, * hunting, hitting rabbits and foxes, in order to hurt the great cause, the hope of the world. The thieves mourn for His Majesty. In ancient times, ministers were not allowed to feast and travel, so that they were all in their duties and honorable. Then the ministers dare not practice properly, and do their best to praise the great gift. The scholar cultivates his heart and cultivates his temperament at home, but in the court of the Son of Heaven, he messes up his nature, and the ministers are sad for His Majesty. His Majesty has a banquet with all the ministers, a square with the ministers, and a discussion with the court, so that the tour is not fun, and the court is not rude, so as to reflect the great law. “
The emperor said it.
Every time the emperor came to the court, Lang Congguan presented a book, but he did not stop accepting his words, and the words were unusable and put aside. If available, it will be adopted. It's not unkind.
The emperor is about to gallop west down a steep slope from the tomb. Zhonglang will Yuan Ying, ride a horse and rein with the emperor, and hold the reins of the emperor's horse. The emperor said, "Is the general timid? “
Yuan Ying said: "The minister heard that the son of a daughter can't sit down. The Holy King does not take advantage of danger and does not take chance. Now Your Majesty is flying six times, galloping down the mountain, once the horse is frightened and the chariot is defeated, even if Your Majesty is light, where will the Queen Mother of Gaomiao be? “
The emperor then gave up his plan to rush down.
Mrs. Shen, who was favored by the emperor, often sat at the same table with the queen in the forbidden. Once sitting together in the Lang office, Yuan Ying led Mrs. Shen down to sit on the side seat. Mrs. Shen was furious. refused to sit, and the emperor was also angry and got into the forbidden. Yuan Yingyin went to the emperor and said: "When the minister heard that the dignity and humility are orderly, then the upper and lower levels will be harmonious. Now that His Majesty has been established, Mrs. Shen is a concubine. Shall a concubine and a housewife sit together? If Your Majesty loves her, you can give her generously, and today Your Majesty is doing this for Mrs. Shen, which is exactly to create trouble for her. Has Your Majesty forgotten about the human pig? “
So the emperor was in awe. Summons Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen rewarded him with fifty pounds of gold.
Jia Yi said to the emperor: "Guan Zi said, Cang is honest and knows etiquette. Food and clothing are sufficient to know honor and disgrace. The fact that the common people are poor and can rule is something that has not been done since ancient times. The ancients said that if a man does not plow, he will suffer from hunger. A woman does not weave, or suffers from the cold. If production is sometimes used excessively, material resources must be compromised. The ancients ruled the world, to weave to know, so its accumulation is enough to rely on, and now there are many people who go back to the end and tend to the end, which is a great harm in the world. Therefore, the vulgarity of lewdness is flourishing. If the peasants are heavy on business, the treasury will not be accumulated, and the accumulation of savings is the foundation for stabilizing the world, and agriculture should be encouraged and the traveling merchants should be cracked down. If everyone is pragmatic, then they will be honest, the people will be at ease, and the country will be governed. “
The emperor thanked Jia Yi's words. In the first month of spring, Dinghai issued an edict to open the field. The emperor personally ploughed to lead the people of the world.
In March, the priest asked the prince to be the prince of the princes. The edict first established the young son of King Zhao You as the king of Hejian. Liu Zhang, Marquis of Zhu Xu, was the king of Chengyang. The Marquis of Dongmu Xingju is the king of Jibei. Then the prince Liu Wu was appointed as the acting king. Liu Shen is the king of Taiyuan, and Liu Yi is the king of Liang.
In May, the edict said: "The ancients ruled the world, and the court had the power of goodness and the wood of slander." He who came to counsel for the sake of the way. Now that the law is guilty of slander and fallacy, it is so that the ministers dare not enjoy themselves, and there is nowhere to hear about their own faults, so how can there be a good man from afar? This method is removed today. “
In September, the edict said: "Agriculture is the foundation of the world. The people depend on it for their survival. And the people have the ones who do not do what they do. This will lead to people going without food. In order to encourage farming, I led my ministers to work in agriculture to persuade them, and exempted the people of the world from half of the land rent this year. “
