Chapter 61: Harmony (I)
After asking, Li Wei was stunned.
This is the essence of power, and if you understand this verse, you will be able to understand many things.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, whom the Manchu Qing Dynasty attacked as the most humble emperor in history, was born as a monk who wanted to eat Hanako and Ye. This is simply inexplicable, and if you don't ask where you come from, can't civilians be heroes and leaders of the country?
However, he got a small piece of land in front of him, and immediately won over the landlord class, and if he really said it, maybe three generations of his ancestors had a deep hatred for this landlord class. But because of this, it is necessary to gain the support of the elite group and then stand out.
That's not what makes him scared.
It turned out that he found that the largest group, the common people in China, was so lowly. It is not a real estate developer who enjoys the glory of the government, makes thousands of households become house slaves, and is worth tens of billions, but the entire Chinese people are a big night pot.
This is true now, and it will be true a thousand years from now.
Maybe he hasn't been compassionate enough to that point, the first thing he cares about is himself, he can't live, how to care about other people's affairs. But in this way, this status quo will not change, and no matter how hard it makes its own efforts, China is still circulating in a strange circle. came to power, care about the people, and the country and the people. It didn't take long for the rich and the poor to diverge. Then the people revolted, redistributed the wealth, and made the gainers the largest group to benefit, and again soon after being neglected, and then came again.
If this cycle continues, no matter how diligent and wise the Chinese are, the country will not really become strong. Even if it is strong, it is short-lived.
Chinese, what's going on?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Di Renjie called out twice.
Li Wei's question, since he thought of it, he had already thought of the answer. But there was no immediate answer. He has been friends with Li Wei for the longest time, Bi'er is not counted, he is still young, naΓ―ve, and can't think of anything deeper. Don't talk about Bi'er, ordinary people can't think of this section.
Li Weicai can't be said to be bad, but it won't be as magical as the people outside, and there are still many places where it is insufficient. Of course, there are many that Di Renjie also appreciates. Especially the attitude towards the people, what Li Shimin is like, Di Renjie has no way to see. But Li Wei will never be inferior to Li Shimin, and may even be surpassed. Di Renjie likes it too. He himself was very good to the people, and after leaving Suzhou, all the people sent each other, and some people built ancestral halls.
This was the highest reward for the magistrate, and the imperial court made him a squire in the criminal department, and the merit and promotion were enough to match. This is not to mention, but it proves that he has such an attitude towards the people. However, for the sake of Li Wei, he meditated hard and finally figured out this section, and he himself was a little discouraged. Besides, Your Majesty.
"Hmm."
"Your Majesty, this matter can be discussed in the long run, or for now."
Regardless of whether he is saved or not, or what the reason is, it is Confucianism, or the essence of human nature, or the tradition of thousands of years, or the system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, or the policy of fooling the people ruled by the dynasties, the most important thing at the moment is that before Li Zhi dies, he must survive, and he must keep the emperor dead as soon as Li Wei can take charge of the government immediately, instead of leaving the power in the hands of the queen mother.
Li Wei came to his senses. Confucius said that if you cultivate yourself and rule the country and level the world, you are the emperor, but you can't really regard yourself as the emperor and get carried away. There are still many troublesome things, and the court can divide one point, and less than two out of ten ministers who are truly loyal to themselves are very optimistic. There are also those who are faithful to their fathers, and those who are faithful to their mothers. Twenty percent died loyal to the Tang Dynasty, which was not loyal to themselves or their fathers, but to the entire Tang Dynasty. The rest remained neutral.
It seems that no matter whether it is a father or a mother, there are not as many diehards as himself, which has also become a fact, otherwise his father would not be jealous of himself, but with the joint efforts of his parents, Pei Yan's axis, coupled with the real power of control, he is definitely at a disadvantage. But it can't be said that the father is the father's person, and the mother is the mother's person, Pei Yan bewitched some people, and it depends on the situation, which may not be able to help him oppose himself. In short, the situation is not very optimistic.
Therefore, I first got through this period of difficulty, and my parents were big and there was no way. When my father was alive, I had to endure it, but it wouldn't be very long, I had waited for so many years, and I could afford to wait for another two or three years. Then keep your rights, and finally have a real voice. Only then can you really think about the affairs of the country with all your heart.
The severity needs to be clearly distinguished.
Thinking of this, he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he was also relieved, and asked, "Di Qing, don't worry, I know it in my heart." You haven't answered what I asked just now. β
"Your Majesty, the minister also felt very bad at first, and was originally going to take the initiative to write a letter and make a statement for His Majesty, "Li Wei can't interfere in this matter, otherwise it will be a reversal." But what Di Renjie said was equivalent to Li Wei making a speech and making a gesture to the major families.
In fact, the matter of navigation cannot be imagined by future generations. Some people think it's impossible, some people think it's entertainment, but this idea is wrong. Why it did not prevail, it cannot be denied that it was the big cannibals who took the lead in order to expand and encourage commerce. However, the deformed policies of the Tang Dynasty made people who really felt that they had status embarrassed to go to sea without permission. As a matter of fact, some people in Fujian and Zhejiang have already secretly gone to Taiwan to do business, but the scale of transactions is not large, and they are smuggling in nature. In addition, the ruler was ashamed of his words and could not see how much of the profit was, so he would rather sell the ship to the big cannibals, and then cede the Silk Road to the Hu people, and did not take the initiative to do business himself. There are those who go abroad, the great monks, one after another to Tianzhu, that's all!
The Song Dynasty was forced by border troubles to let go, and the business was very successful, replacing the big food merchants at once. But the restrained policy, just doing business, never thought of overseas expansion. Half the battle. Then in the Ming Dynasty, the beginning was good, but the relevant taxes were not formulated, the court did not benefit, and there were many disputes. Another Zheng He scattered wealth boy came out and sealed the pass. That can be sealed, and then large-scale smuggling, leading to the appearance of the Japanese bandits. Later, the policy was slightly relaxed, but the imperial court still did not benefit, and as a result, it was not interested in foreign immigration, and even encouraged the Spaniards to kill overseas Chinese. So with money, what to do, annexation. And then the country. A very negative example, even inferior to the Tang Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, not to mention, as soon as the door is closed, we are the first in the world, so let's kneel down and say goodbye together.
Li Wei appeared just right, and borrowed the name of opening two canals and lacking money, so that it was on the right track.
I don't really see it, but now the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty still attach great importance to this piece of milk. If you don't let it go, as soon as you let it go, seeing the profits, the people will also start to be tempted. This time, it has become inevitable to expand sea freight again. Why is the Great Eclipse powerful, according to the statistics of later generations of economists, that kind of primitive navigation brought at least one-seventh of the national income to the Great Eclipse, and these incomes caused the Great Eclipse to become rich and became the capital of expansion. This is the economic benefit of the situation where the compass does not appear, with the compass, what kind of weather will it bring to navigation?
So Di Renjie has something to say.
But Di Renjie changed the topic and said, "After thinking about it again, the minister dismissed this idea again. So far, His Majesty has done a good job, and all kinds of changes are taken into account, in His Majesty's words, a win-win situation. It didn't hurt many people. The Queen Mother may have thought of it very early, and it is possible that she thought of it late. But the Queen Mother is not very active, unless she is redundant! β
If you want to win over, there are three ways, the first is to give the land, this Wu Zetian does not dare to give, or overseas territory, does it need to be rewarded by Wu Zetian? Either give profits, and Wu Zetian is not good at running Wu Zetian, how to give profits? Either reward the officials, and the result is redundant officials. Li Zhi is still alive, and no matter how restrained he is by the emperor's power, he also does not dare to move. There are so many officials, and if you promote people on this side, you will suppress people on that side. No matter how Wu Zetian tries to win him over, he will eventually damage the interests of the other party.
These words are not easy to say, but there is no need to say them, Li Wei can also hear them.
This reminded him of his mother in later generations, and he promoted many Shu landlords. Some people say that it is not right to suppress the powerful, Wu Zetian suppressed the northern magnates of the Guanlong Dynasty who opposed her, but took some measures to win over the Shandong gate valves, but these gate valves were indifferent, that's it, my mother saw that they were powerful and more influential, and she didn't dare to do it. But the support of the always important people, after suppressing the Guanzhong gate valve and the powerful clan, had to raise the Shu landlords.
It is tantamount to creating a new group of people to become new elites. For the common people, there is not much real change.
I see......
This is already the core of the ruler. Li Wei felt very frustrated, and said helplessly: "Di Qing, I already know what you mean. I don't care about it. β
"Exactly, don't ask, but ask the truth. Perhaps the Queen Mother is hoping that Her Majesty will intervene...... In fact, this matter has been broken, if there is no mistake, the end of this month will be clear. But Your Majesty, if there are any measures in the future, no matter how to benefit the country and the people, some people can't be offended too harshly, in the government and the opposition, they are all families, a noble family, but in the court, there are many ministers who are their children, relatives, or half sons (sons-in-law). It's ......."
You don't have all the rights, and the common people should be night pots, and they should be used as night pots. The head melon seed can't be impulsive at this time.
Li Wei didn't make a sound, and a book written by Li Zongwu came to his mind - "Thick Black Studies".
β¦β¦
At this time, on the Tibetan Plateau, the Wulu clan was preparing to take the second step.
Compared to Li Wei, she is much more difficult. is also much more direct, in order to "take revenge", for the happiness of the mother and child, she almost does not care about the people, the country, she has no home, the word "country". But it's still hard......
Let her use her wisdom and take advantage of the opportunity to make her son officially become the Zampu of Tibet. But the mother and son are still a puppet, which is also inevitable, when Mangsong Mangzan was alive, they were most of the puppets, and they were orphans and widows.
Bear with it for a while. But don't dare to pretend to be crazy and stupid, it will be self-defeating, besides, the queen mother of a country, the biological mother of the young Zampu, can't do this. Don't dare to act too smart, this measure must be very accurate.
Then wait for the right moment.
Militaristic power, she has almost no at all. But the power that is loyal to Zampu is also very strong in Tibet, which is also her confidence. On Qinling did not report his plan to the Wulu clan, but if there was anything that needed the help of the Wulu clan, he immediately sent someone over to inform him, okay, you do this, okay, you do that. Wu Lu also swallowed his anger and did it. On Qinling didn't think of anything else, and not even a trace of vigilance was generated from beginning to end.
But without the Lu clan, I can still hear a lot of news from some channels, including the defeat of Zanpo. This defeat was an arrangement, inconsequential, and the two sides did not have a large number of combat models, with less than 1,000 casualties.
It was for the sake of war, but rather for the sake of strategy. Although Hei Zhi Chang Zhi was extremely brave, but on Zanpo's psychological preparation in advance, he retreated in time, and Hei Zhi Chang had no way to expand the results of the battle. But the Wulu clan found a great opportunity to make people secretly hype about this "failure".
In the battle of Qinghai in history, the Qinling used few troops and was a big victory, and the consumption still slowed down Tubo for several years before it took it to breathe. This time, the scale of the battle was several times that of history, and it was tantamount to a major defeat. How much pressure is there in Tibet?
When many nobles heard about it, they immediately objected, and we can't fight anymore in Tibet. How big was the Tang Dynasty, and how big was our Tibet? How many people were there in the Tang Dynasty and how much money they had. How many people are there in Tibet, and how much silk do we have?
The momentum opened, and the Lu clan found the Qin Ling, and deliberately asked half-incomprehensibly: "Da Lun, I heard that Wu Da was defeated in Qinghai again?" β
The expression is also very dissatisfied.
If you lose, you are naturally dissatisfied. But I was very satisfied.
"Who said that?" On Qinling is not happy to be authentic. He was very angry at this rumor, but it was impossible to kill all the nobles who opposed it, and he did not have the guts.
"I've heard a lot of people talking."
"Since Zanmon asked, the minister will tell you the truth. This time it was not for the sake of war, but just to make a show that the Turks would have the courage to betray the Tang Dynasty. The border of the Tang Dynasty was in chaos, and our country was naturally safe and sound. β
"I don't really agree...... After the first war in Qinghai, the country withered very much. None of the tribes were as loyal to us as they had been before. At this time, in my opinion, friendship with the Tang Dynasty was guaranteed. The two countries were reconciled, and the chaos in the various ministries disappeared immediately. If you are not strong, relying on foreign enemies will not be a long-term solution. β
"Reconcile?" On Qinling sneered and said: "After the First World War of Dafeichuan, I took the initiative to release Xue Rengui, just like the Tang Dynasty expressed friendship. After several admonitions, Zampu also obeyed the minister's admonition, sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to show goodwill, and asked for peace again, but what was the result? It seems that Chen heard that you have also been to Chang'an, what is the result? β
On Qinling later learned, but only knew that the Lu family went to Chang'an, but what to do, and was negligent again, thinking that she was a little girl's family, curious, just like that time to Nanzhao, to Chang'an to see the fresh. Therefore, there is no scrutiny. However, those who knew about this matter were all important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and it was not easy to find out.
"This time, that time. At that time, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty did not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, and thought that they were very powerful. Although they won in Qinghai, they won very hard. β
"Hmm," said Ron Qinling, nodding. I have dealt with this little queen mother many times, and it is this sentence that is like what a person says.
"Coupled with the rebellion of the Turks, and the disobedience of Silla in the east, I also heard that the Tang Dynasty was in contact with the Japanese and was preparing to join forces to defeat Silla. At this time, it is an opportunity to reconcile. β
"Zanmeng, you take it for granted, last spring according to the advice of the minister, sent an envoy to Chang'an, but what was the result? was bombarded back by the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't have time to say a word. This is one of them. The Tang Dynasty was a camel, no matter how thin it was, it was bigger than a horse. Besides, the camel is not thin. In Qinghai, they just stick to it, taking the Yellow River Stone Mountain as a natural danger, like an iron wall. The prefectures and counties of Jiannan use Qiang people as buffer zones. The Qiang people live and die, will they be stingy? The only thing we can fight for is the Western Regions, and in the past few years, our dynasty was embarrassed and did not operate properly in the Western Regions, which made the Western Regions Zhuhu dissatisfied with our dynasty. Tell me, where is our country expanding? As for the Eastern and Western Turks, do you think they can really achieve great things? β
"So the big deal is ......"
"Weakened, rebelled again and again, causing a rift between the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern and Western Turks. There will be more turmoil in the future. The situation is in our favor, trying to swallow Qinghai. Even if it does not go further, because of the turmoil in various Turkic tribes, the Tang Dynasty will not pay attention to our country. β
"But the fight has already started, and the goal has been achieved, why can't we negotiate peace?"
"Zanmeng, if you can negotiate peace, and the minister does not oppose it, it may not be harmful to our country. Probably not negotiable? If you can't reach a meeting, why bother to humiliate yourself? β
"Dazhuo, I'd like to give it a try."
"Zanmeng wants to give it a try, but Chen Na dares to object," said so, but this was not the case in his heart, and he asked: "Discussing peace is nothing more than the belonging of Qinghai and the Western Regions." The former minister deliberately mentioned this matter. Qinghai is bounded by Jiuqu Douhe City, and the Western Regions is bounded by Chihe River and Puchanghai (Lop Nur), each of which is under its own control. This is also the bottom limit of Tubo, did the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers agree? Could it be that Zanmeng wanted to cede Qinghai and the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty? β
If we want to negotiate peace, we must talk about the areas under the jurisdiction of each country.
At that time, the request put forward by the Qinling was to take the Line of Actual Control as their respective jurisdictional areas, but could the Tang Dynasty agree? Now that the Tang Dynasty has a slight advantage, even if it cuts the flesh painfully, Qinghai is bounded by the Yellow River Stone Mountain, can the Tang Dynasty agree? Definitely can't say yes. The Tang Dynasty wanted the whole of Qinghai, at most the original Bailanqiang in the south of Jishi Mountain was easy to discuss. The Western Regions still held a large area south of the Kunlun Pass, but Shule and other towns were lost again. But will the Tang Dynasty agree? What the Tang Dynasty wanted was the entire Western Regions, so that Tubo could really return to the plateau!
Even if the Tang Dynasty can agree, will the nobles of Tubo agree. negotiated peace, but after cutting so much flesh out, even the most determined anti-Tang faction groups may not dare to agree or agree. Therefore, in the opinion of Qin Ling, the Wu Lu clan is taken for granted. This contradiction cannot be resolved, and the negotiation of peace is purely superfluous.
However, Wu Lu said firmly: "But I want to give it a try." β
"It's useless......" But on Qinling's voice suddenly changed, and he said: "You are Zanmeng, and I am a courtier." In favor of Meng's bent desire to negotiate peace, the minister had no choice but to agree. β
Without the Lu clan sneering in his heart, he knew that Qin Ling would say this!
He added, "There is another matter that I would like to ask for the opinion of the Great Comment. A few days ago, my son met Wang Xiaojie, who was captured in the Tang Dynasty, and saw that his appearance was very similar to the portrait of his father, and he cried bitterly. My Buddha is merciful, can I release him back to the Tang Dynasty? β
"He ......" on Qinling choked. Your big son, one moment said three years old, and another said four years old, but if someone else is blind, at most less than two weeks, ten ** is you from Qinghai to make a mess, after returning to get pregnant, do you know what it means to miss your father? The new emperor of the Tang Dynasty would not have been so magical. Also, Wang Xiaojie is an authentic Han Chinese, why does he look similar to Xianzanpu? But I immediately thought that this was this little queen mother, who was using this to show goodwill to the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, there will be no good faith negotiations.
But what's the use? Hugh said that it was Wang Xiaojie, that is, the release of the black tooth Changzhi is related to the great plan of the two countries, and the people of the Tang Dynasty may not receive your favor. But think about it again, although this Wang Xiaojie is a general, he is not the kind of peerless brave general, if he is put back, he will be put back, and he will be a slave. If you don't agree, this little queen mother, and a group of yelling aristocratic ministers, will not give up.
The tone of words changed again, and said: "Xiao Zampu is talented and intelligent, and he is compassionate, which is the blessing of the people of our country, even so, how dare the minister stop it." β
"So tired," the Wulu clan politely left. I got into the chariot and smiled again, and this step came out again. Being able to negotiate peace this time will inevitably add a thick weight to itself, increase its influence step by step, and then squeeze out the power step by step from the hands of this ambitious minister. Then it's time to get your hands dirty......
It is not easy to get a bargain from the hands of Qin Ling repeatedly, although Qin Ling thinks that she is a little woman who is negligent. As for the question of the boundary that Qin Ling pondered, is it really that difficult to deal with? Regarding the visit and request of the Wulu clan, the Qinling was very unimpressed.
However, he didn't expect that from this moment on, as the Wulu clan stepped step by step, it would gradually send him to the abyss of death...... (To be continued.)
