Chapter 276: Boiled Frogs
Li Wei also twisted the corner.
I was sick, and I was not lightly ill, but after I walked through it, maybe it was exercise, maybe it was other reasons, and it was inexplicably better.
My father also had a disease, hereditary rheumatism, and other diseases, not only this one, or later said, heart disease, myocardial congestion, neuroarthralgia, high blood pressure, retinal detachment, Meniere's syndrome. The occasional small cold malaria is not counted.
Seeing that his exercise was effective, his father was also exercising, hiding in the palace to practice, and now he is playing Tai Chi well. But the disease is serious, there are many symptoms, and it has not had much effect. When he was seriously ill, he went to the doctor indiscriminately, and he didn't believe in Fangshi, after all, he saw Li Shimin eat soil balls with his own eyes, and then eat foreign balls, but it didn't work. But he was so sick that he gradually changed his attitude, and he also tried to see if the pill would help, and he began to eat the long-term pill offered by Hu Seng a few years ago, and Hao Chujun dissuaded him with the teachings of Taizong, but he didn't listen. Later, he spent a huge amount of money to recruit all kinds of monks, including summoning Sun Simiao from the countryside to refine the pill.
One is forced by illness, contradictions are contradictions, Li Wei has seen his father's illness attack several times, and he died of pain, but because he is the emperor, he forcibly endures it. Second, if he didn't mobilize the people like Li Shimin, the pill would definitely not help his illness, but the alchemist did not become a problem for the court.
This illness has caused him to be unable to preside over national affairs. Assigned the rights to himself, did not dare. In fact, if my father did this, he would not let go of the opportunity to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, especially when his mother's feathers were not full, and he would immediately seize the rights, at least there would not be a situation where the family would kill each other. So I had to give it to my mother. It may be that the father thinks that the mother can control it, a female streamer, it is possible that the mother is confused, and if she can't see it, she will always understand the reason why Li Zhi trusts Wu Zetian. All year round, most of the time is fighting with illness, and pain, my mother is in charge of the harem, and I have to deal with the government for my father, and I also serve my father incomprehensibly, and even learn massage methods from a massage doctor to relieve my father's pain.
Such a wife who does not love can beat her mother from time to time, and her father is already sober-minded.
Seeing that his threat to him was increasing, he had to give his mother more rights to suppress himself.
In fact, Li Wei was also very sad about his father's illness, if it were not for his illness, his father's governance of the country would be considered benevolent, and the expenses were relatively economical, especially in employing people, and many virtuous ministers were successively promoted. Later generations said how the mother used people, which is wrong, and the father used people successfully. At least continue to let history develop, and the court will operate normally as it is now, quiet and peaceful, I'm afraid there will be no more.
And the minister, Yu Qi said that he was loyal to his father, but he was loyal to the country, this Confucian order, when his father was in power, he was loyal to his father, and when he was in power, he was loyal to himself. Therefore, what they care about is not to change the emperor, but to replace the emperor in accordance with the Confucian way, not the kind of change of emperor in a subversive way of changing the dynasty, nor is it a usurpation of the emperor (the father and son of the monarch and the minister). The other is the actions of the emperor and the actions of the future new monarch, after all, it is the master of the fate of a country, and there must be one, but it cannot lead the country to the fate of destruction.
This is the true meaning of Confucianism.
It is not easy to get around this bend, it can make him understand the dynamics of many ministers, of course, for the sake of power, it has reached the point of bending the knee and being cheeky, and those people should not say anything.
Therefore, opposing the mother's monopoly on power, after all, as Confucianism, the husband is the wife, and the status of women is always low. Besides, the queen mother is in power, there are also good, but not many, incompetent such as the Eastern Han Dynasty, let the relatives ***, brutal such as Lu Pheasant, indiscriminately killing innocents, with all kinds of mothers, it seems that he is not a gentle and good person.
Therefore, the upright minister has always opposed his mother's assumption of power. When his father has a share of power, he will suppress it, and he even does not hesitate to praise himself and suppress his mother's power. This is the "order" they need in their hearts. Of course, they didn't do anything, and they were against it as well. The more they can do something, the more they will support it.
So the court entered a strange circle, the father gave the mother a point of rights, the minister supported himself to improve a point, and the father had to give the mother some more real power......
Rounded the bend.
Then look at the fortune of the court, it's not as incomprehensible as before.
But the ministers still didn't care about his mother's revision.
Wei Siqian did not come back, and he continued to run around the three provinces and six ministries for water conservancy, and he could hear the voices of some officials, and many ministers even agreed with his mother's approach. As long as you don't interfere in the government and politics, it doesn't matter what books you cultivate, it's best to repair books for a lifetime, and don't come to ask about the government and politics.
Some ministers also thought about it, but they didn't understand it.
So I thought that these chosen people, such as Liu Yizhi, were exiled to Lingnan because of Helanmin's case, and later were pardoned and recruited back, and moved to Zuoshi. Another example is Wanqingquan, when Li Ji conquered Liaodong, this guy was the chief manager of Liaodong, he didn't know the secrets, and he didn't know the danger of guarding the Yalu River. Another example is Fan Lubing, Wude Jinshi, who is very old in terms of qualifications, but because of the poor background, it is still a left history. Another example is Zhou Simao, who has been well-known for a long time with his younger brother Zhou Sijun, but all kinds of things, just like King Luo Bin, have not been reused. Others, such as Miao Chuke and Han Chubin and others, are very similar.
That is, these selected literary scholars are all unambitious courtiers. It is easy to be co-opted.
Of course, it can't be said that they are all villains, for example, Zuo Shi Liu Yizhi and Meng Lizhen, Gao Zhizhou, Guo Zheng are all famous for Wenzao, and the people of the time are Liu, Meng, Gao, Guo, and they are very filial. Wan Qingquan is also uninhibited, but he is also upright. Several other people are either positive or negative, all of them are good at literature, and there are also some people who are upright by nature.
In short, it is not composed of the kind of villains who are complicit, and it also makes the ministers feel a little relieved.
The minister's reaction made Li Wei even more chilled, and he decided in his heart that it was best not to confront his mother head-on. Mother shot! Slowly, they were carrying firewood and boiling water, but these ministers were swimming happily like frogs in a pot, and they didn't know any of them. Even Pei Xingjian seemed to be worried, but when he thought about it, he was at a loss and couldn't figure it out......
laughed at himself, and ran to the harem to comfort him.
Such a strongman needs to be comforted by himself?
What Xiaoqiang can't be killed, it is Qin Ge, the strongman in Gu Long's pen, and when he arrives in front of his mother, he is not worthy of lifting shoes.
But he can't be in a hurry, he is the prince, speaking of a half-king, in fact, he is still a minister, in front of his father is a son, his father is willing to abdicate, everyone is happy, if he forcibly mutiny, he will replace the king with a minister, and replace the father with a son, and break the order in the hearts of these ministers, so there will not be many people who support it. In other words, they will nominally support their smooth succession, but they will not support themselves to be hard.
So after thinking about it, I don't know what to do, even if there is any way, my mother will be angry. It's better not to do it, just do a good job of water conservancy, and if you do it well, you will win the support of more ministers, and it is also agreed by the mother, and the mother does not resist this.
Of course, some ministers are not insensitive, and the sense of smell brought by intrigue in the court makes them faintly uneasy.
So at the end of the year, another incident happened, a man named Liu Xiao wrote a commentary, saying: "Today's selection of Cao is based on the examination of merit and demerits, and the selection of people by calligraphy and judgment, but he does not know how to examine people's moral character and talent. There are many borrowers (find someone to write on their behalf). In addition, the Ministry of Rites takes scholars, and the special articles are A and B, so the corporal of the world is all willing to be virtuous and tend to literature and art, and as a result, there are people who go to the first department early and commit crimes under the rule of law at night. Such a person can recite 10,000 words every day, what does it have to do with governing the Tao? Wencheng is seven steps, but it is not enough to transform people. In the case of flowers, when the smoke and haze of the extreme pen are extremely brushed, it is not a big mistake to become a custom! People envy the nature of fame, just as flowing water must flow downward, and if there is something good at the top, the people below must like something. If Your Majesty takes virtue first, and literature and art last, then Toast will run and the wind will move in all directions! ”
It's not that it's bad, it's true that there are many drawbacks in taking people by writing, but what is taking people by virtue? In the Eastern Han Dynasty, what is morality? Talents like Di Renjie, because his family is not very wealthy, and he is not a big family, he is just an ordinary official eunuch, and he has no capital to brag about him, when will he become famous?
In the end, he had to follow the old path of the Western Han Dynasty, and the court ministers were almost all the children of the ministers. Therefore, since the Sui Dynasty, the system of opening the imperial examination system is to select more talents, and also to give the poor a chance, so that the sky in the world will not collapse immediately. This is the progress of society.
However, it was this strategy that made the prime ministers carefully selected and handed it to Li Zhi.
It's not Cezi itself, but it's aimed at Wu Zetian's North Gate Bachelor.
I can't figure it out, but what the enemy supports must be opposed, and what the enemy opposes must be supported.
……
It's all the beginning.
Li Wei walked back to the East Palace, Bi'er was nursing the child, and the nurse stood aside in panic and said, "Liangyuan, let's still have a slave to milk." ”
Bi'er's face was filled with kind maternal love, and she smiled: "Aunt Han, don't be unrestrained. When I was young, my family background was not good, it was the prince who favored the concubine, in terms of family background, my family was the same as your family when I was a child, the same shabby, and I could hardly get by. ”
The nurse was an honest person and replied: "Liangyuan, the slave can be compared with Liangyuan, Liangyuan is a good person who cultivated the ninth life in the previous life, so he has today's blessings." ”
Nowadays, people are ignorant and think that essence is the vitality of the body, and so is milk. But the milk is produced, and if you don't let your son drink it, do you let your husband secretly drink it at night? Li Wei strode in and said, "Aunt Liu, Bi'er is right, although it is the East Palace, as long as you keep to yourself and don't do bullying or illegal things, you are very casual." ”
As he spoke, he picked up his son and rubbed his beard.
The son giggled, still young, and didn't know if he was laughing. It's just that more than ten days have passed, and the skin is gradually stretching, and it is not as ugly as the wrinkles when I was born.
"Yes, the prince is benevolent," but the nurse was still uneasy, pinching the corners of her clothes, and didn't know what to say.
Li Wei suddenly had a whimsical idea and said, "Bi'er, Pei Xiaoniang, and Wan'er, Yue'er, Isola will take you to see the queen mother." ”
His mother wishfully opened the North Gate Bachelor's Degree, and Li Wei wanted to see his mother's expression at this time.
At this moment, the Jin Nei squire walked in and whispered, "Your Highness, the letter from the east." ”
Li Wei immediately stepped aside and opened the letter, it was written by Liang Jinzhu, in fact, although it was the first time to go to sea and with some tasks, they came back a little late this time. Looking at the letter, Li Wei didn't know whether he was happy or worried, and thought of one more thing, his mother was also lucky, and it happened that the news of the arrival shifted his attention and resolved many disputes for her......
