Chapter 70: Reflections on Chao Buzhi
Emperor Jing was helpless, very helpless, he couldn't beat and scolded, so he had to comfort softly: "Beauty, don't worry, letting Nangong go to the Xiongnu is just my expedient measure, and when the Han is strong in the future, I will take her back." ”
When Wang Wan heard this, she continued to cry softly: "Even if it is at that time, what is the use of Nangong coming back? That's a pain she can't get rid of for the rest of her life! ”
Emperor Jing was speechless, and said in silence: "The state affairs are difficult, and I also have a last resort, otherwise why would I sacrifice the happiness of my own daughter." ”
Wang Wan no longer cried when she heard this, but said softly: "The concubine doesn't dare to persecute Your Majesty, but... It's just that I can't bear it, and when I think that Nangong will go to the bitter cold land in the north to suffer in the future, the concubine's heart is like a knife, so I ask Your Majesty to have mercy on the suffering of my mother and daughter. ”
Emperor Jing said: "I know these things, the beauty doesn't need to say it anymore, it is true that this time I am sorry for Nangong, so let's do it, these days when Nangong is in Chang'an, in addition to not going to the Huns and relatives, I can promise Nangong any conditions, even if she wants the stars in the sky, I will send someone to help her take it down." ”
Wang Wan couldn't help jumping in her heart when she heard this, and sure enough, Tian Wei guessed that Emperor Jing had a feeling of guilt for Nangong, and this guilt was still deepening.
So Wang Wan cried again and said, "The concubine has thanked Your Majesty for Nangong." ”
Emperor Jing sighed heavily and said: "What kind of thanks, they all say that there are no parents in the world who are not, but this time I am sorry for Nangong, I don't have the face to see her now." ”
Seeing that Wang Wan was going to say something more, Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "You stand down!" I'm tired. ”
Wang Wan couldn't, so she had to retreat, but she still looked at Emperor Jing with affection while walking, and Emperor Jing had to give her a smile when she saw this, indicating that she was fine, so that Wang Wan left with confidence.
Seeing Wang Wan walking out of the palace gate, Emperor Jing turned his head and asked, "Chuntuo, you said that I personally sent Nangong to the Xiongnu, will Nangong hate me?" ”
Chun Tuo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that there are parents in the world, and the princess will definitely understand Your Majesty's distress." ”
Emperor Jing said faintly: "Bitter? I do have a hard time. ”
"It is said that under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, I can see that the Son of Heaven is just a poor man who is alone! There are princes in the elbows, and there are Huns outside, and the whole body is affected by a hair, which is my last resort. ”
"But when I was the crown prince, I could act recklessly, and now I am the son of heaven, why do I give away my daughter with the supreme body, isn't this a big joke in the world?"
When Chun Tuo heard Emperor Jing's words, his forehead was already sweating, obviously frightened by Emperor Jing's words.
Chuntuo knew that this was Emperor Jing's angry words, so he didn't dare to answer, so he had to stand there silently.
········
In Chao's mansion, it was already dark after the three of Chao Buzhi finished discussing, and several people went back to their rooms after dinner.
Chao Buzhi sat down in his seat and began to reflect quietly.
In my previous life, I looked at those reborn people, which one of them came back and did not meet a god and kill a god, or a Buddha and kill a Buddha, but they were all in business, writing books, making money, being officials, and even being in charge of the government.
But when it comes to himself, if he is not Chao Cuo's father Ji, everything is for Chao Cuo's sake, and if he is replaced by another person, he will rely on those dry words to make one of the three princes, the imperial historian, bow down, which is simply a fantasy.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence will know that this is impossible.
After all, to be one of the three publics, how can Chao Cuo not have his own uniqueness?
Judging from the eyes of a reborn person, Chao Cuo is indeed a fool when it comes to cutting the feudal domain.
For example, as mentioned above, knowing that Liu Wu, the king of Chu, was drinking and having fun during his mourning, he only cut his Donghai County.
Moreover, they overestimated the deterrent power of the Chang'an court, thinking that as long as an edict was issued, the princes and kings would be captured like ministers, but they didn't know that even if Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others eradicated Zhulu, they first mastered the power of the army before they started.
There is also the outbreak of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, and Chao Cuo actually suggested that Emperor Jing drive the imperial expedition in person and stay in the capital by himself.
At the critical moment, he pushed the emperor to the front line, but he hid in the capital, how could this be done by the ministers?
Therefore, it aroused the dissatisfaction of a group of loyal ministers in the DPRK and left a pretext for others.
Su Shi thought that Chao was wrong "to put it in danger by himself, and to live in peace; He is the leader of the difficulty, chooses the most safe, and sends the Son of Heaven to the most dangerous", the crisis came, and it was not possible to be in danger and not chaotic, and the command was determined.
All this fully illustrates the naivety and immaturity of Chao Wrong Politics and Governance.
As mentioned above, Jia Yi and Chao Cuo both advised to cut the feudal domain, Emperor Wen did not adopt Jia Yi's, but Emperor Jing adopted Chao Cuo's, because this was related to the concept and situation of governing the country at that time.
The Han Dynasty's philosophy of governing the country before Emperor Wu was Taoism, and they were all Taoist schools, but compared with Emperor Wen's moderate attitude, Emperor Jing's attitude was more radical.
But what Emperor Jing didn't expect was that the cutting of the feudal domain not only touched the vested interests of the princes and vassal kings, but also had many opponents in the court, and Chao's wrong virtue and righteousness were not enough to subdue everyone.
Looking at the ancient and modern reformers, Shang Ying, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Juzheng, these three reformers, Shang Ying has the full support of Qin Xiaogong, and he himself is ruthless, so he can succeed; Wang Anshi has been looking forward to the world for nearly 30 years, and his own virtue can only make people look up; Zhang Juzheng, hehe, needless to say, this first auxiliary minister, when he coughs, the emperor will tremble three times.
And Su Shi also believes that three conditions are needed to cut the domain: "I know it in advance, I am not afraid of it, and Xu is trying to do it."
The erroneous policy of cutting the feudal domain put forward the necessity of cutting the feudal domain, but did not discuss the feasibility and did not put forward an operational plan; It also does not have the conditions for "Xu Weizhitu".
And all the facts show that Chao Wrong was not well thought out.
Of course, this is seen from the perspective of later generations, and it cannot be completely denied, after all, the current Han Dynasty people have historical limitations.
For example, the general thinking of people at this time was to support the feudal system, because they only knew that Zhou had the world for 800 years because of the feudal system, and Qin destroyed the county system of the Six Kingdoms and died II, which is why Liu Bang divided the princes and kings.
Anyone in the world knows that the county system is the trend of history, but even if you can say it a hundred times, the people of the Western Han Dynasty will not agree, because they have seen two living examples of Zhou and Qin.
Thinking of this, Chao Buzhi couldn't help but sigh, he couldn't use the concept of later generations to ask for predecessors, because everyone had God's perspective at that time.
