Chapter 4 Virtuous and virtuous

"I'm already an emperor! Why can't you make your own decisions! After receiving the letter from Taichang Xuchang, Yushi Dafu Zhuang Qingzhai and others, Liu Che was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he angrily threw the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground.

"Your Majesty ......" Prime Minister Wei Juan got the news, so he rushed to the Xuanshu Palace, at this time, he picked up the bamboo slips, rolled them back on Liu Che's case, slowly knelt down and sat down, and asked: "Do you think that when you sit on the throne, you are the real emperor?" ”

"Isn't it? Shouldn't everyone in the world listen to the emperor? Liu Che looked at his teacher and asked. A young man who has experienced a setback for the first time has a look in his eyes full of grievances, anger and incomprehension.

"Of course not!" Wei Juan sighed, although the emperor was smart, he was too young and lacked experience after all. He shook his head lightly and asked, "Your Majesty has read "Han Feizi" by heart, do you remember?" ”

"Remember, you used to teach, teacher." Liu Che nodded.

"The minister will say it again today, Your Majesty's perception may be different from before." Wei Wan said: "The pre-Qin Legalists divided into three schools: law, art, and power, and the Shang monarch emphasized the law, paid attention to the strict legal network, and ordered and forbidden; Shen does not harm the arts, and pays attention to the art of controlling people; Be cautious and pay attention to the concentration of authority on the Lord. ”

Liu Che listened intently.

"When he arrived at Han Feizi, he was inclusive, and proposed that law, art, and potential should be used for each other, and that the technique and potential should be attributed to the monarch, and the law would be respected by the monarch and the subjects, so it was the culmination of the Legalist. Since Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty, he has recuperated, shown inaction on the outside, and practiced the way of hegemony inside. When the first emperor was the crown prince, he mistakenly wrote to Emperor Wen and asked the prince to practice imperial arts, which was allowed by Emperor Wen. The so-called imperial art is the science of magic potential. "The Book of Shang Jun" and "Han Feizi" are listed as required reading for the crown prince. Wei Juan's voice was not high, but it seemed to have magical power.

Liu Che thoughtfully, sat up straight, and stared at the bamboo slips on the case.

Wei Juan smiled slightly, cleared his throat, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, how many percent do you think you have mastered the art of controlling people?" How much does the Lord's authority collect on you? ”

Without waiting for Liu Che to answer, Wei Juan pointed to the northeast direction and said in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager has gone through four dynasties, and she has been the empress and the empress dowager for nearly forty years!" When the first emperor was there, she still had to listen to her old man's opinions on many major matters. ”

Hearing this, Liu Che lowered his head. Seeing this, Wei Wan was inconvenient to speak anymore, so he sat quietly and waited.

The eunuchs who accompanied him were sent out early, and the palace was surprisingly quiet.

After a while, Liu Che said in a sullen voice: "I don't want to be a nominal monarch and be at the mercy of others." ”

"Your Majesty is young, like the rising sun rising in the east, and the coming day is long." Wei Wan twisted his long beard and said in a long voice: "With all due respect, the most advantageous thing for you is time!" ”

Liu Che raised his head, and there seemed to be two clusters of fire burning in his eyes. "The teacher is right! I'm still young, and I have opportunities in the future. ”

"Your Majesty can think so, and the old minister will be relieved." Wei Wan bowed his head again and again, feeling very pleased.

"I'll reply to them now, big and small, I can tell my grandmother in the morning and dusk." Liu Che stretched out his hand to unfold the bamboo slip and picked up the knife and pen.

"Your Majesty is clear." Wei Wan said approvingly.

Liu Che quickly wrote a few words, then picked up the bamboo slip and threw it aside, and said in a muffled voice: "The teacher just said that the monarch should make good use of the technique and occupy the potential. I want to do a few big things and have a good experience. ”

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and if you want to make a difference, this is a good thing and very necessary." Wei Juan nodded and said: "It's just that since Gaozu, this dynasty has pursued the national policy of recuperation and recuperation, showing inaction, so as not to bother the people." I am afraid that this general direction cannot be changed now. ”

"I remember that the first emperor often said that the way of government is to be in line with the times." Liu Che frowned and said: "It has been 60 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the granaries everywhere are full of grain, the threads of copper coins in Taicang are rotten, the national strength is not what it used to be, the people are rich in food and clothing, and the country can do something big!" You can't always stick to the old routine of 'doing nothing', right? ”

"......" Wei Juan hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is right, but don't be in a hurry, you have to take into account the perception inside and outside the court." ”

Liu Che was a little discouraged, speaking of which, didn't he just look at his grandmother's old man's face!

Liu Che's thoughts, Wei Wandong watched the fire, and offered a plan: "The major events in the world must be done in detail." Your Majesty can start with the small things. ”

"What is the teacher's best plan?" Liu Che hurriedly asked.

"According to the minister's humble opinion, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are hereditary candidates and relatives. Your Majesty may decree that virtuous and virtuous people should be recruited. Talent is prosperous, and the cause will be prosperous. "The DPRK and China are not connected, the personnel structure is single, and it is really not easy for Wei Juan, so there is this proposal.

"Good! In the past, the Zhou Dynasty could flourish by recruiting talents from all over the world. Liu Cheshu raised his brows and said happily: "After I have told my grandmother, I will issue an edict to implement it." ”
