"The rebellion of the Fu Tang Ji lies in the lack of monarchical power, the disaster of the feudal town, and the weight of the border commander. China's bigness, from Qilian in the west, the sea in the east, the Yue Yi in the south, the thistle in the north, the road state and county, the vertical and horizontal, the mountains and rivers, spanning thousands of miles. The state officials are good and bad, the county officials are virtuous and foolish, the heavenly officials are appointed with talents, and the character of Lantai impeachment. Since the view of Zhen, the way of employing people is the first priority, virtue is wasted, the politicians have a false name, the system is effective, and the inspection of the place is incompetent. The monarch relies on the border commander, not for nothing; The imperial court worships the festival generals, which is also a bad consequence......"

Chai Rong sat in the province under the Zhongshu Gate, quietly listening to the royal servant mediate the causes and consequences of the formation of the situation in the feudal town in a subdued voice.

Since he was crowned king, he has listened to history homework for an hour every day, and in Guo Wei's words: "If you are illiterate, it is not enough to govern hundreds of officials, and if you don't read history, it is not enough to know the rise and fall." ”

The rise and succession of dynasties is the so-called "history".

The knowledge of the Wang Servant is good, and more importantly, this person is very good at integrating theory with practice.

Chai Rong waited until he stopped drinking water, and then he interjected with a smile: "What Mr. said seems to be a dead knot, since the feudal of Qin and counties and counties, this knot has been knotted!" In the great China, a letter from Guanzhong Henan to Guangzhou and Quanzhou fast horses also have to run for two months, if it is sent to the land of Baiyue in Guizhou, I am afraid that it will be more than half a year, so it is not a question of whether the imperial court is willing to set up a feudal town, in fact, some places naturally become a feudal town, the momentum is natural, how can the technique be stopped? ”

The servant was silent for a long time, and said: "At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it didn't matter about the state, and the assassin history was just an official who inspected and corrected the impeachment, and this system lasted for a long time, and finally became the establishment of thirteen states. Wei Jin cut off the right to assassinate Shizhou, but had to give the governor of the army to Baijing Huangyue. In order to control the locality, the rebellion of the Sixteen Kingdoms is also chaotic here. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the county was already a feudal territory, but it couldn't resist this trend in the end, and finally gave birth to such a freak as the festival degree, and the country was ruled by the dynasty. If it does not change, spells are all small paths, within a hundred years, it may be fine, but after five generations, there will be disasters! ”

Chai Rong sighed: "What can I do!" ”

The king's servant raised his head and said, "If the king has no foresight, then cutting the feudal domain is just drinking to quench his thirst, cutting the eyes, and he must cut the future generations!" ”

Chai Rong asked with great interest: "If Tang Taizong uses feudalism. Can it avoid the chaos of the Hereafter? ”

Without hesitation, the king's servant replied, "Excuse me! ”

Chai Rong asked, "But why?" ”

The king servant said: "Zhou Gong is feudal. It is to make the wild land the heart of the summer; Henkel feudal. It is to make the soil of poverty become a land of inaction. And the feudalism of Tang Taizong. It is the hero of the prince who cracked the country. The source of trouble. It is difficult to achieve the effect of treatment. If Emperor Wen can have great wisdom. The feudal Wei Wangtai was in the East China Sea. Feudal Gaozong is at the top of the swallow thistle. Then Zhenguan has no change in Dinghai. The Tang Dynasty had no history of rebellion. So feudal. Only then does it show the true meaning of feudalism. How. With the favor of the King of Wei. Involving the southeast is no different from dispatching. How can Taizong endure? ”

Chai Rong was silent.

The king's servant said something to the root of the problem. The essence of feudal land is to make the barbarian land that cannot take care of the frontier become the hinterland of China. In essence, it is not to reward meritorious heroes and favor their sons and nephews.

As big as a country. As small as a family. That's the truth.

The two most taboo words of the millennium clan are "separation". No matter how prosperous the population is, there is no separation. This doesn't just limit the family's power. At the same time, most of the talented people in the clan were buried. Such a thousand-year-old family. After the rise of the imperial examination system, it was inevitable that it would decline day by day.

For a country, the efficiency of centralized power is undoubtedly much higher than that of feudal princes, but this efficiency will only decay after reaching a certain limit, which is the distance of information transmission.

The rise and fall of successive dynasties is actually a history of struggle between the central and local governments.

This is the root cause of the alternating succession and turmoil of China's history.

The essence of centralization is the subordination of subordinates to superiors. The local area is subordinate to the central. Once there are subordinates who refuse to obey their superiors, there are localities that refuse to obey the central authorities. It will be seen as a rebellion and will be reprimanded. This has led to the fact that at the beginning of their formation, the slightly larger local power groups immediately regarded the central power as a mortal enemy, rather than seeing the central power as a potential backer.

Theoretically, the central government hoped that the authority of the central government would never be challenged and that no local feudal towns would ever emerge.

But in reality, this can't be done!

Unless there is a qualitative leap in the speed of information transmission.

A king's casual words within the walls of the palace can become the supreme directive in the frontier region thousands of miles away, and this is at least a sight that can only really appear after the spread of radio communication.

Until the era of Li Wenge, human information transmission was still actually limited to a certain level.

Imagine a group of earthlings leaving Earth in a spaceship traveling near the speed of light to find a new home, and after a few years they found it, and they thrived and developed civilization on that planet. One might take it for granted that this planet is a colony of Earth, but in fact it is not.

It is too difficult to achieve a political connection between two planets that can only communicate with each other with light.

It takes a hundred years for the central government to send an order to a new planet, and this hundred years have been vicissitudes, and when this order is issued, it can basically be sent directly to the museum.

The authoritarian scope of a government is directly related to the speed of information transmission in its time.

This law is one of the most basic political laws of human society.

Chai Rong didn't understand this, but he could understand the words of the king's servant, he took a deep breath and asked, "However, if you don't cut the domain, how can the world be unified?" How can the war end? How can the people be safe and prosperous? ”

The royal servant said lightly: "Cutting the feudal domain is not the fundamental way, but it is not impossible to cut it!" ”

Chai Rong's eyes flashed.

The royal servant smiled: "The so-called cutting of the feudal domain, in fact, is not to cut the feudal domain, who is not to cut whom, why to cut, why not to cut, this is a university question!" ”

Chai Rong nodded: "I want to hear about it!" ”

Wang Fu said: "For example, Li Yiyin divided the northwest, colluded with the Khitan Northern Han Dynasty, and repeatedly Kou Yanqing, the court of this feudal town is powerless, if there is spare strength." It should be a must-cut example. Why? This border town is very different from China in terms of writing, language and way of living, and regards foreign enemies as dependents and China as enemies. ”

Chai Rong smiled, he already understood what the king servant meant. casually took over the conversation and said: "The Eighth Route Army of Li Wenge is completely different, not only is it the same as the imperial court, but also regards the imperial court as a backer, and is inseparable from the foreign race. Although it is the same, in fact, Zhuxia is a partial branch, such a feudal town. Naturally, there is no need to sharpen it. ”

The king servant smiled and said, "The king should also know Li Huairen's reply to the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty?" ”

Chai Rong nodded: "Thanks to Mr. for all the arrangements in Yanzhou!" ”

Wang Servant said: "There is another layer, although Li Wenge's self-reliance is obvious, but it is far away in Guanzhong, thousands of miles away from Bianjing, the imperial court edict, out of Tongguan will be almost the same waste paper. The Tianping Army is different, its town is located in the land of Hebei, which has always been the inherent territory of China, not to mention that it is only separated from Gyeonggi by a river. The side of the elbow and armpit is the throat of the Northern Expedition of the imperial court, and the national policy is not tolerated. With all due respect, the king of the other day waved his troops to the Northern Expedition, Li Wenge was the helper, and Wang Yin was the tiger who stood in the way......"

Chai Rong nodded, smiled and asked, "However, if Li Huairen sits big, the tail will not fall off." How do you know that you can't fight back against Kanto? ”

The king's servant bowed and said proudly: "The solidity of mountains and rivers is not dangerous in virtue, which is actually the same word." If the king cultivates the culture and strengthens the army outside the country, so that the people are rich and the country is strong, then Li Wenge will not dare to have the ambition to win the championship even if the army is strong and strong. If the king cannot look up to the hope of all the people, he cannot enrich the country from within, and he cannot strengthen his army from within. The danger of Hulu going south is also in the spiral. The danger of Chen She's uncovering the rod is hidden in the crops, and the court loses the deer. The world is chasing it, even if Li Huairen has less than 10,000 soldiers, or he is a person of the way, he does not know! ”

This truth was magnificent, but Chai Rong couldn't help nodding: "In the final analysis, it's still a family affair, your own family is strong, and you are naturally not afraid of foreign feuds, your own family is weak, and the society must not be self-explanatory!" ”

The king servant said: "The king respects Tang Taizong the most, and the ministers also respect him, but what the ministers respect is not his cultural and martial arts, but the people-oriented governance of Emperor Wen." The community is like a boat, the common people are like water, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat, which is honest through the ages. Li Wenge has been observing this person for a long time, the minister is in Yanzhou, and he has been tempted by Emperor Wu of Wei Liu Jinu, but in fact, in the heart of the minister, his talent may be slightly insufficient, but his words are not exaggerated, and the minister thinks that Cao Liu is not comparable, and he is barely compared, Li Huairen has the style of Henkel. If the king can't work hard and improve himself, it is not impossible to be compared to him, and I hope that the king will always be vigilant! ”

"Han Gaozu ......" Chai Rongdi's tone actually revealed a bit of envy.

The servant raised his head and said: "The king, whether it is Wang Yin or Wang Jun, its foundation is unstable, and it can be easily dealt with the use of spells, only Li Huairen, who seems to be shallow and vulgar, but in fact has a solid foundation, and cannot be eliminated lightly unless the momentum is used, if the king is not fully prepared, he must not move lightly!" ”

Chai Rong smiled and said, "A feudal edict, Li Huairen must hate me to the bone!" ”

The king's servant also smiled: "The king has his own difficulties in the king's land!" Although Li Huairen doesn't read much, he is extremely smart! ”

Chai Rong looked at the royal servant and sighed: "The only people in the world who can understand Lone's act of dividing the seal are my father and my husband!" ”

The royal servant smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is actually kind, but it is just an arrangement, and there is no respect for Li Wenge's own ideas at all." It is no wonder that His Majesty has experienced vicissitudes for a long time, and he can't help but regard Li Huairen as a descendant. At this level, the king does not dare to support the earth! ”

Chai Rong nodded: "Whether you become a privy councillor or go out of the forbidden army, you must be willing by Li Wenge's own family, but unfortunately this matter can't be asked openly, you can only throw a stone, and then look at the echo of the water......"

Wang Servant said: "Li Wenge is unwilling, this is an obvious thing. However, even if the king personally wrote a letter to inquire, he may not be able to find the truth, and no matter how much Li Wenge trusts him, he does not dare to reject the king head-on. Knocking down such a stick, although taking some risks, finally saw Li's true intentions, and it was worth it. The privy councillor is in the center, and his authority is too great to be entrusted to a non-human ......."

The best privy envoy in Chai Rong's heart is actually the king servant, which the two monarchs and ministers tacitly know, and at this moment, seeing that the boss of the king and servant said these words unceremoniously. Chai Rong smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't break it, and asked instead: "My seventh uncle has entered Beijing, and he has invited the southern suburbs to perform the second sacrifice, if he is aggressive, can Mr. have a countermeasure?" ”

The royal servant smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is a person who understands. Naturally, there will be clear judgments, and the king's office is related, and there is no need to say much about this matter! ”

Chai Rong nodded, he thought the same thing in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Whether it is Xiufeng Xiangguo or my seventh uncle, they all regard Lone as a child, and Lone just can't bear this breath!" ”

The king servant thought for a while and said, "Say it and do it." The king is the prince who is ready to inherit the great treasure, and he can not say a word, but some things should be done. Otherwise, the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty will inevitably think that the king is weak and have a contemptuous heart! ”

This sentence touched Chai Rong's heart, and he asked: "Mr.'s words are deeply lonely, but he doesn't know what to do?" ”

"Raising the soup to stop the boiling is like drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle!" The king's servant is determined.

"Oh?"

"Wang Yin, this general is actually not a general, and his people have a wide range of gold silk, only fattening themselves, and commanding generals. Most of them are the old people promoted by His Majesty and the king when they stayed behind, and the king is now in power, and he should show the favor of the old department, so Wang Yin is in the capital, but in fact it is just a chicken and a dog's ear! The king's servant said.

"Wang Wenbo is telling history for King Jin in the forbidden world today?" Feng Dao sat in the courtyard of the Xiangfu with his big coat wrapped in Dayu, and asked lightly while trying to look at the delicate courtyard with his old eyes.

"Yes!" Zhongshu Shilang and Li Gu, the third division of the Pingzhang Judgment, sat aside and drank tea and responded.

"That's a rare scholar, smart and wise is secondary, especially rare is the courage to do things, that's it. Even the old man can't keep up! Feng Dao shrunk his neck and sighed.

Li Gu's expression was calm and he didn't talk.

"Wang Yin's seal of impeachment of the King of Jin, has the Lord seen it?" Feng Dao asked.

"I've read it, and I've sent it back to the middle school!" Li Gu replied.

A few days ago, several of his personal soldiers rode through the city in Nancheng and rampage, and were taken down by Pan Mei, the inspector of Kaifeng Prefecture, and beat these rebellious martial artists to cry wolf. Wang Yin was furious. On the same day, he went to Kaifeng Mansion to ask the teacher for the crime, and the official on duty that day happened to be the king's servant. Although the royal servant returned these personal soldiers, he sternly warned Wang Yin to restrain his subordinates and not to make trouble, where can Wang Yin put such a small person as the royal servant in his eyes, he scolded angrily in the court, but the royal servant was neither humble nor arrogant, and coldly replied, "When today's surname is Guo Bu surnamed Wang", he ordered the soldiers to drive Wang Yin and others out.

Suffering from this great humiliation, Wang Yin naturally refused to give up, and on the evening of the same day, he visited the impeachment of Chai Rong, the king of the Jin Dynasty, and instigated the scribes to insult the important ministers of the court.

He is the envoy of the festival, and the seal is directly handed to the inner palace by the Privy Council without going through the door of the Chinese book.

Yesterday, the seal was sent back to the door of the book by the inner palace, and the strange thing is that there was not even a word of comment on it.

The Emperor brought the ball to the book again.

Li Gu shook his head lightly, how many things are going on in the country, Wang Yin is still so nonsense, the emperor just doesn't take a stand, and fights with the prime ministers.

Chai Rong has already announced that he will avoid this matter, but none of the three prime ministers in Zhongshu will come to take this idea.

If he reprimands or even deposes the prince and servant, he will undoubtedly offend the prince immediately, seeing that the emperor's health is not as good as day by day, in case the prince ascends the throne, the king and servant must be the one who will be of great use, for no reason, who will provoke this great enemy?

However, Wang Yin is not easy to mess with, he is a meritorious hero, the head of the town, and the emperor's eldest brother; Chai Rong is in charge of the Zhongshu Sect, if the Zhongshu Sect rejects his proposal, he is afraid that he will immediately pay homage to the table and impeach the three prime ministers to meet Chai Rong to make a mistake, such an unfortunate thing, naturally no one is willing to come forward.

Who would provoke this kind of flying trouble?

"I'm still too busy to get down to business, who can take care of him!" Li Gu said.

"It's okay to drag it out!" Feng Dao nodded.

Li Gu glanced at this old man of the Four Dynasties, the feudal sparseness of Yanzhou, the emperor sent it to his mansion to judge him for more than a month, but this old guy dragged it like nothing else, but the emperor didn't ask, it was also a strange thing.

Feng Dao was a little sleepy, his eyes drooped and said: "There are many major events now, the priorities still have to be divided, this kind of matter is not urgent, it doesn't matter if you deal with it later!" If Wang Yin's husband dares to participate in the impeachment of the Chinese book, there is an old man in front, you can rest assured! ”

Li Gu smiled bitterly: "In the matter of Yanzhou, Ling Gong should also have a decision!" ”

Feng Dao raised his eyelids, and seemed to think that there was such a thing: "It's the seal sent from the palace last time, right?" I've been in a bad state for a while, and I haven't seen it yet! ”

Li Gu was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, but he couldn't say anything: "It's better for Ling Gong to be dealt with as soon as possible, and the Zhongshu is waiting there!" ”

Feng Dao shook his head slightly: "What do you think?" ”

Li Gu said: "The feudal power is the monarch's power, and even the two governments of Zhongshu have no right to put their beaks, Li Wenzhen and others are arrogant to ask for feudalism, even if they are not punished, they must be strictly reprimanded." This example is opened, aren't the princes everywhere ready to move, so what's the point? ”

Feng Dao sneered: "What is monarchy? ”

Li Gu was stunned.

Feng Dao slowly stood up on crutches: "The so-called monarchy is just the right to rule on behalf of the heavens, what is heaven?" The king is the heaven of the courtiers, the society is the heaven of the king, and the people are the heaven of the community. The so-called monarchy is actually granted by the people, the people like the surname Guo to be the emperor, and now they can sit firmly in the Daning Palace, and the people don't like Yelu Deguang, an outsider, so he has to flee back to the north with his tail between his legs. Sovereignty...... But it's just such a thing, saying that God says that it is sacred, it is all a nonsense made up by himself, Li Shu is a god, the people are sacred, and the sacredness of the monarchy is because behind it is the power of the people......
