Chapter 1910: This is the rule of inaction

"What a powerful queen!"

After coming out of the political hall and getting into the carriage, Wang Xuandao immediately sighed, "This temporary covenant was originally used to restrain the queen's power, but if her proposal can always be passed, then the temporary covenant law will be useless." ”

Lu Shigua shook his head and said: "This is a mistake, if there is no temporary covenant, will the queen still put forward these propositions that are conducive to the development of the country?" It can be seen that the provisional covenant is still valid. ”

The eldest grandson said: "But over time, it may not be necessarily. ”

Cui Jijian smiled: "Then you still support the queen's decision?" ”

The eldest grandson Yan said: "As far as matters are concerned, the queen's proposal is still very beneficial to the development of the country. ”

Cui Jijian said with a smile: "This is where the queen is powerful, once her proposal is passed and makes the country's development better, then her prestige will naturally rise, but if we oppose the queen for this point, what is the difference between it and Li Yifu and others?" And we will not get the support of the people, in the long run, it is equivalent to the power is still dragged into the hands of the queen. ”

Wang Xuan said: "It can be seen that we still have to be cautious and not careless. ”

In fact, they are still somewhat reluctant to support the queen in their hearts, because once this kind of proposition is passed, the queen's authority will definitely increase a lot, but at the same time, they also know that advocating the rule of inaction is actually clearing the obstacles to the rise of businessmen, because the rise of businessmen will cause too many contradictions, and there are too many opponents of businessmen in the ruling ideology, so it is very important to legitimize the rise of businessmen, which can resolve many contradictions.

......

The imperial court first issued an edict abolishing the restrictions prohibiting the industrial and commercial classes from riding horses.

This edict, although the opposition is not small, but the voice of support is even greater, especially Ashina Mi They are very supportive, because their family sells horses, which can promote the sale of horses, and now merchants are big customers, and merchants are not allowed to ride horses, so who are their horses sold to!

Horse dealers, car dealers, and even grass traders are very supportive of this policy.

Of course, the merchant class was happy, although many of them often rode horses, but the imperial court explicitly abolished it, which was to improve the status of merchants in society.

However, if the imperial court wants to establish "rule by doing nothing" as the central idea of governing the country, this has caused great controversy.

As soon as this matter reached the Hongwen Museum, it immediately spread out, and then the Datang Daily published an article expounding the new proposition of "Confucian self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country by doing nothing, and Legalist thought leveling the world", and this proposition was also named in the name of the emperor and empress.

This is also Wu Meiniang's return to the eyes of the world with her policies.

It's actually a kind of announcement that I'm back.

Those old Confucian students in Chang'an didn't care whether they were right or wrong, they directly scolded Wu Meiniang, and dug out all the bad things that Wu Meiniang did in the previous crisis, and even the saying of "the demon queen is in chaos" came out.

But everyone doesn't scold Li Zhi, they don't mention it, not because they are afraid of Li Zhi, they often scold the emperor, mainly because Li Tang obeys Li Er as the ancestor, then of course Li Zhi has to respect the thoughts of my ancestors, isn't this the filial piety advocated by Confucianism.

But Confucianism has to find a reason to oppose it, then Wu Meiniang is the best breakthrough, and now scolding Wu Meiniang, it is all justified, there is no need to be afraid, because Wu Meiniang made a big mistake before, and now let her preside over government affairs, that is also for the emperor, it does not mean that everyone has forgiven Wu Meiniang, and those who oppose it say that Wu Meiniang put forward this proposition, not for the good of the country, but for the sake of power, to destroy the temporary covenant.

Zhang Wenguan and they had already expected it, and they were desperately explaining to the officials in the DPRK and China that the imperial court did not want to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Taoism alone, and the new proposition was to better integrate the three schools of thought, and basically implemented the principle of parallel Confucianism, Taoism, and the three schools of thought, but only established the idea of governing the country by doing nothing, not the idea of establishing Taoism as the idea of governing the country.

First of all, the rule of inaction includes the idea of benevolence, and it is required that under the law, the people are given more free development, not too many restrictions, the court can not compete with the people for profit, but it is not inaction, and the responsibility of the court is to formulate a policy of macroeconomic regulation and control according to the development of the people.

With such an explanation, the younger generation has been very supportive of this proposition for more than half a year, because they have been infected by this environment, and he longs for a free and enlightened social atmosphere, including some young people who advocate Confucianism, because this proposition does not negate Confucianism, but only uses Confucianism as the foundation, self-cultivation and unity to govern the country and level the world, isn't this the idea of Confucianism.

Originally, the scholars were also Confucianism and Taoism, and this proposition catered to their proposition, and they also began to write articles in support of this proposition.

But now it's not about sitting and talking, the main weapon of public opinion is the newspaper, and Datang Daily and Shizu Daily are both neutral positions, what we do is buying and selling, if you want to publish your article in my newspaper, you have to take money.

This gives the merchant class an opportunity to get involved, and what does this kind of ideological debate have to do with businessmen in the past, but when it comes to money, they can participate. They also knew that this new proposition was beneficial to them, but they would not write articles, so as long as it was an article that supported this proposition, they would pay for it to be published in Shizu Daily and Datang Daily.

However, this kind of ideological controversy, which is very eye-catching, for the people in the Shilin, this can make them famous, but the problem is that this argument now requires less money, and many people also see businessmen constantly spilling money in the back, and many people who themselves support this idea or neutral people run to cooperate with businessmen, I write articles to support this proposition, and you pay to help me publish it.

Everyone hit it off again.

The people of the Buddhist family, seeing that Taoism and Confucianism are inseparable, everyone's eyes are attracted to them, and no one pays attention to their Buddhist thoughts, which is not good, the power of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty is very strong, so the people of the Buddhist family also participated, and the people of the Legalist family also participated. In the end, the Mohists did not know where to come from and began to promote their Mohist thoughts, but they did not advocate the core Mohist ideas such as "love and love" and "non-attack", but advocated academic theory, geometry, epistemology, and .......

They knew that the status of craftsmen was rising, and investing in craftsmen might be able to make the Mo family rise. As for what "love" and "non-attack", there is no concern, and they don't mention it, our Mo family is now specialized in technology.

It's hilarious!

And these arguments are not just words, but published in newspapers.

The emperor can see it, too!

This is bound to alarm the emperor!

Therefore, Li Zhi hurriedly called Han Yi to the Liangyi Palace.

"I heard that the imperial court is implementing a new idea of ruling by inaction, and Shilin's opposition is very high." Li Zhi asked with a frown.

"Nope!" Han Yi shook his head and said, "Everyone is very supportive, and it is expressed in actual behavior." ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a while, and was so angry that he directly threw the Datang Daily on the table to him, and said: "Those opposing articles are published in your Datang Daily, are you blind?" ”

You can tell as if you can see it clearly. Han Yi muttered to himself, picked it up and glanced at it slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the article above is the best evidence." ”

Li Zhi wondered, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Han Yidao: "As soon as the imperial court advocated the rule of inaction, everyone began to think, isn't this my inaction, and the people are self-reliant?" ”

Li Zhi sighed: "You are a strong word." ”

"The minister is by no means a strong word."

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, if I follow the example of Qin Shi Huang who burned books and pit Confucianism, and follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to respect Confucianism, then do they dare to say that?" Can they still say that? It is precisely because Your Majesty that you advocate the rule of inaction, that they can say this, this is the greatness of my Datang, the foundation of my Datang country, enlightened and tolerant. ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly.

Han Yi said: "In fact, these opposing voices are conducive to social stability, once the court does not allow the people to oppose it, then the people will take up arms to oppose it, which is why our dynasty has always advocated a wide range of opinions." The imperial court should observe carefully, if a policy is opposed by the whole people, it will definitely not work. When the court listens to their voices, it will know what aspects of the court are lacking and what the people need, so they can achieve macroeconomic regulation and control in advance. The core idea is still to rule by inaction. For you, Your Majesty, if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark. Your Majesty should listen more directly to what the people are saying, many countries in the past dynasties have perished, all because of traitorous ministers, because Your Majesty, it is difficult for you to hear what the people are saying after all, the ministers are often deceived and concealed, but in the end it is the emperor who comes out to bear it. ”

Li Zhi laughed when he heard this, and said, "This is the first time I have heard this from the mouth of a courtier. ”

Han Yi said: "The minister is a businessman, and he knows the truth that the skin does not have hair, Your Majesty is good, the country is good, and I am better." ”

"If only you thought the way you do, so good."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "But it's not good to let the scholars oppose the imperial court." ”

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, the rule of inaction advocated by the imperial court this time is not to thoroughly implement the rule of inaction, but to conform to the national conditions, otherwise, there will be many contradictions, but not to let them mess around, at the same time, the imperial court still emphasizes the law and Confucian morality, mainly relying on Confucianism and Legalism to govern and protect the law for inaction, they use academic theories to oppose it, of course this is okay, but if someone has ulterior motives, or makes disrespectful remarks to His Majesty, this is a violation of the law and etiquette, then the court will naturally come forward, As long as they are under the control of the imperial court, then let them say it. ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly, if he couldn't do this, he wouldn't agree, to put it simply, abandoning Confucianism is harming the interests of the emperor, he groaned for a while, and said: "I also write an article and publish it in your Datang Daily." ”

Han Yi said excitedly: "This --- this is really good, and the minister promises to donate all the profits from His Majesty's article to the construction of the academy." ”

Li Zhi was stunned, this thinking jumped a little, pointed at Han Yi, and said with a smile: "You are really a businessman." ”

Li Zhi quickly wrote an article, of course he didn't write it himself, he couldn't see it clearly, he asked the civil official to write it on his behalf, and he came to dictate it.

As soon as Han Yi saw this article, a high-achieving student was a high-achieving student, and immediately took this article and published it on Datang Daily.

The content of the article is very simple, that is, I recently saw the articles in Datang Daily and Shizu Daily, and I feel very gratified, what you said about courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, and the idea of serving the country with loyalty to the monarch are very correct, and I hope that you can follow your words and deeds.

This is the first time Li Zhi has published an article on Datang Daily, Han Yi is prepared, it is to double the amount of printing, this time, and let the Shizu Daily publish it together, even so, there is still not a single one left, and everyone is scrambling to see it.

When the Confucian scholars saw that the emperor thought that our Confucian ideas were right, did he want to retract this proposition?

But if you look at the title---- this is the rule of inaction.

Everyone suddenly realized, isn't this just, "I do nothing, and the people are self-transformed", you all say better than the court said, so why does the court still use what you say to regulate you, isn't this a superfluous move, you just do what you say.

It can be seen that Li Zhi's proposition is not to abandon Confucianism and completely follow Taoism, which is different from the early Han Dynasty, when it was either Taoism or Confucianism, anyway, choose one of the two. This rule of inaction is a kind of inclusive proposition, you believe in Confucianism and Taoism, that is your freedom, you are a farmer, or a herdsman, it is your freedom, you want to engage in business, or politics, all are the freedom of the people, the court does not interfere in these, the people develop freely, and realize their self-worth.

That's the core idea.

The original meaning is to let them not discriminate against other classes, why? Very simply, people are now big tax payers, and they have brought a lot of livelihood to the people, and the most important thing is that the northwest region is completely integrated, and everyone has a common idea, if they are still dealing with businessmen everywhere, this is not conducive to the development of the country.

Many people praised the emperor for his open-mindedness and generosity, and this mind even surpassed that of Tang Taizong.

can obviously be the idea of two people, but they only scold Wu Meiniang, and praise the emperor here.

Cui Jijian and Wang Xuandao also published articles one after another, further expounding this new proposition, explaining that Confucianism and Legalism are the foundation of the imperial court's advocacy of rule by inaction, and if there is no thought of these two schools, it is impossible to rule by inaction, and if even the basic moral outlook and the concept of the rule of law are gone, then ruling by inaction is a dead end.

Everyone gradually understood this proposition of the imperial court, and the direction of the article began to change, from opposing the rule of inaction, to what is the rule of inaction, to how to achieve the rule of inaction.

In Chang'an's Shilin, the rule of inaction has become not a single idea, but a new proposition, a new proposition with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, new ideas need to be fermented, and this is only the embryonic and will take a long time to ferment, but this has already laid the foundation for capitalism.

Those younger generations are very supportive of this kind of proposition, especially the new class, because the new class is all aristocratic businessmen, and they are all young people, this phenomenon is the most obvious in Chang'an, Chang'an is the most, the idea of doing nothing provides them with the ideological basis for doing business, this is my freedom, why do you laugh at me, look down on me, as long as I don't break the law, I don't do anything hurtful.

North Lane.

"How did you get here?"

Xiao Wuyi had just gotten off work, and when he saw Han Yi standing in front of the door waiting, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Of course I'm here to pick up Sister Wuyi, you're going home!"

Several young women beside her laughed.

"Are you going to beg for a beating?"

Xiao Wuyi stared at him.

The young women immediately coaxed and hurried away.

Sister Wuyi has to be the boss everywhere, her character is impossible to be the second, this is also her resolute opposition to Wu Meiniang's interference in the Women's Federation, this is my field, even at home, she is also the head of the family, although the Han family is democratic, and votes on time, but she has always been elected, because she shamelessly gave Han Xuanyi and Han Rui the right to vote, these two little babies are most afraid of Xiao Wuyi at home, Xiao Wuyi is their teacher, Han Xuanyi is Xiao Wuyi's sycophant without any lower limit, every time she votes, He resolutely supported Xiao Wuyi's election.

Han Yi smiled and said, "I just came from Feixue, let's go to Yang's house for dinner later, Xuanyi and Rui'er have already gone." ”

"Listening to your tone, it seems that you have been quite idle lately?" Xiao Wuyi said curiously.

Han Yi took her hand and said as she walked towards the carriage: "You know that I don't read much, and at this time, it is difficult for me to do anything, so I am more leisurely." ”

Xiao Wuyi said seriously: "But you will fool!" ”

Han Yi laughed and said, "In the past, your husband had no status, so he could only rely on flickering, but now I am Shang Shuling, and the level of flickering is a little lower." ”

Xiao Wuyi giggled when he heard this.

While talking, the two got into the carriage, and Xiao Wuyi suddenly said: "By the way, how much does it cost to publish an article in Datang Daily?" ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Do you want to join in the fun? ”

"What a lot of fun, it's quite meaningful." Xiao Wuyi said.

"Meaning?" Han Yixiao asked, "Then you support the idea over there?" ”

Xiao Wuyi said: "Of course I support the queen's new proposition, not only us, but our entire Women's Federation Bureau supports the new proposition." ”

Han Yi was curious: "Why?" ”

"You really haven't read." Xiao Wuyi first teased Han Yi, and then said: "In Confucianism, there are many thoughts that suppress our women, relatively speaking, the rule of inaction is more tolerant for us women, of course we women want to rule by inaction, otherwise why do you think the queen wants to implement the rule of inaction, if you look at Confucianism, she will not be able to preside over government affairs, I think that Empress Lu and Empress Dowager Dou, aren't they all because of the implementation of inaction, so they can take power." But look at Queen Dugu and Queen Changsun, no matter how powerful they are, they can't reach the status of Empress Lu and Empress Dowager Dou. ”

Han Yi nodded straight and said, "You make a lot of sense. ”

Xiao Wuyi took the initiative to hold Han Yi's hand and said, "Then can you help me?" ”

Han Yi thought for a while and said, "You can not collect this money, and I can still help you cut the queue, but ...... Serve me to bathe and change clothes tonight, this is not too much to ask. ”

"Profiteers!"

Xiao Wuyi immediately retracted his hand and said with fierce contempt.
