Chapter 540: It's hard to be a good emperor
The reason why Li Yuanji did this is naturally that he can't hide it from someone with a heart.
As long as you really want to know the reason, you can find out with a little attention.
And those ordinary people, this is very difficult, there is no basic culture, the way of thinking is relatively simple, they can't understand so many curves and so on, they can't understand it.
At this time, it is necessary for some people to stand up and tell them the reason for this incident.
It's actually quite simple.
It was through this immigration incident that the emperor was disappointed.
But because there are too many people, the so-called law does not blame the public, and they did not break the law, the emperor has no choice but to issue an edict for himself and carry this crime himself.
Simple thinking does not mean stupidity, when they know the real reason, they are still very guilty in their hearts.
Indeed, they have adapted to the present life and are used to the present life.
They want their days to get better day by day, and no one wants to go to those strange places and live a life from scratch.
Even if they knew there might be an opportunity, they didn't want to take the risk.
One is that it is difficult to leave the homeland, and the other is that without this spirit, the people of China have been too comfortable throughout the ages.
Being born in sorrow and dying in peace is not an alarmist remark, but a real one.
"The ministers can't sleep day and night, thinking about solutions all the time, and the problem has not reached the worst, and there is no need for Your Majesty to do this now, even if Your Majesty is earnest, you should always consider Your Majesty's prestige, right?" After returning from Zhongjun Palace, the ministers blocked Li Yuanji one after another.
Even if Li Yuanji didn't mean to summon them, these ministers seemed to have made up their minds, and they waited outside the palace for a whole night.
And this is also the first time that these ministers have shown this kind of iron-clad image in front of Li Yuanji.
It's not okay if the ministers don't see them, they can hide from the first day of junior high school, but they can't hide from the fifteenth.
After avoiding all night, Li Yuanji still summoned them, but as soon as they met, Wei Zheng bombarded Li Yuanji like a cannon.
Yes, it's just bombardment, although it didn't scold directly, but this passage is not much different from scolding.
The guilty edict hit not only the emperor's own face, but also the face of the ministers.
And this guilty edict will be placed in the palace of Zhongjun, always warning the people of the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor admits his mistake? If it is wrong, it can only mean that the ministers are incompetent and failed to stop the emperor from making this wrong decision.
Especially the current special situation, which is completely different from the situation of those guilty edicts in history, and the guilty edicts under the prosperous era can highlight the mediocrity and incompetence of the ministers.
What the ministers want is a name, but now, Li Yuanji has directly smashed all the names of himself and the ministers, how can they bear it?
If you can't help it, forget it, but is there really no way now?
"As long as I can awaken the numb hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty, what is my prestige?" Li Yuanji looked at these ministers lightly, and couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.
It's a good thing to have discipline, but discipline doesn't exist all the time, and sometimes, you should let go of discipline, put down your face, and do something that should be done.
For the sake of face?
Just like Britain in later generations, for the sake of so-called face, sold its allies one by one? For the sake of so-called face, do you lose the interests that really belong to you?
The so-called face is just the last fig leaf on the human body.
Li Yuanji feels that he can afford it and let it go, and there will be no so-called idol baggage, let alone make some mediocre decisions because of these things.
"Guilty of your own edict? This is only the first step, and I don't expect to wake up everyone's numb hearts by relying on a single edict of sin, I can only lead by example......" Li Yuanji continued.
There are some things that cannot be forced, and the tougher the attitude, the more negative the effect will be.
There are countless cases in later generations, the original intention is good, but the process and attitude are very disgusting, because what? Because those in power can't let go of their posture and the face of the so-called high-ranking officials.
"I have allocated 200,000 yuan of funds, and I am scheduled to build the north and south capital in the two prefectures of Youyou and Southern Jin (Nanning Prefecture), I cannot tolerate the situation to continue to unfold like this, and I must not chill the hearts of the soldiers."
"What?"
"This ......"
The ministers were confused and built the north and south to accompany the capital?
What are you kidding?
200,000?
Wait a minute......
They finally remembered why a wealthy business group would suddenly be poor and had no way to borrow, so they had to use bonds to continue their development.
Before, they were still wondering, what did the emperor do with the money?
Now they finally understand that these 200,000 guan will be used to build two companion capitals.
Accompany the capital, Datang has, isn't Luozhou just accompanying the capital.
Is the companion capital of Keluo Prefecture the same as that of Youyou and Southern Jin Dynasty?
Luozhou is the hinterland of the Central Plains, even if the capital is moved to Luozhou, the impact on Datang will not be great, but what is the matter with the north and south?
It's so far away, wouldn't it be tantamount to giving up control on the other side if you really moved the court there? Over time, as the distance increases, this loss of control is inevitable.
So, what's the point of building these two capitals?
The Son of Heaven guards the border!
It's a determination, but it's also a sadness.
"The minister will never agree!" Fang Xuanling immediately stood up and refused in a stiff voice.
Fang Xuanling, who had never rejected the emperor so justifiably in his life, and had not even admonished him once, finally couldn't help it this time.
He can't bear it anymore, not only him, but all the ministers can't bear it anymore, they have no way out.
was forced to a dead end by Li Yuanji.
For a time, all the ministers stood up, and no one agreed with him to do so.
Now there is no danger at the border pass, and no one dares to offend Datang, the Son of Heaven guards the border pass? Is it to scare people?
There is no need for this at all, as long as Datang's army is transferred to the border, it can scare those countries half to death, isn't this enough?
"Your Majesty knows Your Majesty's dissatisfaction with the moment, but just like Your Majesty said, there must be a process for everything, and the ministers are confident that they will change the status quo and let Datang return to the right direction, Your Majesty might as well wait for a few years to see the effect before making a decision." Wei Zheng continued to advise.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's not too late to wait a few years for the time being......" The ministers chimed in.
In the past, when there was a famine, the emperor often took his ministers to Luozhou, which could reduce the food consumption in the Guanzhong area and allow more people to have food to eat as much as possible.
What? How many people can go in a court?
In the past, there were almost six or seven thousand officials from the imperial court, and most of them had to follow except for some who stayed behind.
Naturally, it can't be the officials themselves who follow, they must be dragging their families and mouths, and in this way, at least 200,000 people will leave.
To be honest, the rations of 200,000 officials and their families are enough to ensure that one million people do not starve to death.
Therefore, the importance of a companion is so vividly reflected at this time.
And Li Yuanji's proposal to accompany the north and south to accompany the capital, except that it may play a role in politics, there is no time to help at all.
On the contrary, it takes up a lot of valuable funds, 200,000 yuan, how much can you do? It can cover all the expenditure budgets of the imperial court for half a year.
"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, maybe he can complete the goal in a short time!" Ma Zhou is also constantly thinking, this is indeed a problem, it is a little difficult to solve it completely, but according to the current situation, it seems that it is not very difficult to solve it completely.
Li Yuanji glanced at Ma Zhou and did not speak.
The other ministers looked at each other with longing and anxiousness.
"All you need is for the ministers to find a reason, reprimand their subordinates and the children of the family fiercely, and at the same time leak His Majesty's decision today to them, and then the matter will be done!" Ma Zhou said directly.
"Yes, that's a good idea!" Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up, and he applauded instantly.
People's hearts have changed, but the change is not far away, and it has just begun.
An edict of guilt is enough to make the people feel ashamed, and if this idea is leaked out again, if the ministers perform well enough, the effect will increase by several levels, and the news is spreading to the people.
The effect is ......
Although the people think differently now, they are still very grateful and adored to the emperor, if they know the emperor's current worries, will they continue?
No, everyone knows how good it is for them to have a good emperor, no one wants to drive the emperor crazy, and no one can do it.
The emperor cares about them, that's their luck, if the emperor doesn't care about them, what can they say at that time?
Who stipulated that the emperor must be considerate of the people?
If it's an emperor like Yang Guang, do you care if you live or die?
From an empirical point of view, if the previous emperor made a mistake because of something, then the next emperor will definitely try his best to avoid it, not to ignore it, but to use more direct means, for example, like now, Li Yuanji is recruiting, but next time, maybe what awaits them is apportionment, do you really want to make trouble?
Li Yuanji nodded, and agreed to this approach.
In fact, regarding the construction of the north and south capitals, Li Yuanji also felt that it was a little hasty, and he had been hesitating, otherwise, he would have announced it in public as early as yesterday when he was in the Zhongjun Palace.
And when I say it today, I want to see the reaction of the ministers, and I want to stimulate this country.
As time went by, Li Yuanji felt more and more that it was really difficult to be an emperor, and it was even more difficult to be a good emperor.
It's all to blame for that damn Li Er, if he wasn't aggressive with himself and didn't have other ideas about himself, he would be lazy to be this emperor.
Otherwise, his current self is in the north of the town as the idle king, he will be the emperor and control the current Tang Dynasty, how cool is it? Even his fame will be louder than in history, and the title of Emperor of the Ages is likely to be his, so why bother?
