Chapter 986: Retreat to the Deep Palace
Listening to Zhao Ziliang's analysis, Li Yu had a sense of surprise, slapped his forehead and said: "Yes, over the years, every time I rebelled, it was the Jiedu envoy!" Uncle didn't talk about it today, I really didn't pay attention! That's right, these people's rights are too great, and they are in the locality, even if they secretly raise soldiers and horses, forge soldiers, and raise war horses in captivity, it is really not easy for me to know! Indeed, as my uncle said, there are too many festival envoys now, they have soldiers and money, and they can appoint officials on their own, and the place where they are is a country within a country! ”
Li Yu said and spoke, his emotions became a little excited, as if he had really discovered the real reason why Datang had become the situation it is today!
After taking a sip of wine, Li Yu took chopsticks and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Uncle, you are so right, you go on, go on!" ”
Zhao Ziliang continued: "The primary reason why those people rebelled was that in addition to their conditions, there were several reasons: first, the decrees issued by His Majesty and the imperial court touched their interests, and even wanted to deprive them of their rights, they were already ambitious, of course they would not sit idly by!" Of course, the minister is not saying that His Majesty and the imperial court will not be able to promulgate decrees to deprive them of their rights and strength, and if the Tang Dynasty wants to achieve Zhongxing in the hands of His Majesty, it must implement the policy of cutting the feudal domain! In the minister's view, the court's attitude towards the various feudal towns is still too conniving and weak, if it is the minister's government, the minister will never tolerate this situation, these people step on the bottom line of His Majesty and the court again and again, and His Majesty and the court have become accustomed to it, in the long run, Your Majesty and the court will gradually lose their prestige, once Your Majesty and the court have no prestige, it is equivalent to losing the right, then Your Majesty will only have the name of the emperor, and without the right of the emperor, the court will also exist in name only, and the world will be divided, The Tang Dynasty is also at the end of its life, so in matters involving the authority of the emperor and the imperial court, His Majesty and the imperial court must not compromise on any feudal power! ”
"Second, the injustice of rewards and punishments between Your Majesty and the imperial court sometimes makes those short-tempered feudal towns rebel, there are such cases, and Your Majesty must also understand it, so I won't give an example of this!"
"Third, Your Majesty and the court's suspicion of some generals has also caused some people to rebel, such as Servant Bone Huaien, it can be said that Servant Bone Huaien was completely forced to rebel by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and at that time His Majesty did not express his position in time to a certain extent let Servant Bone Huaien disappointed His Majesty, if His Majesty can stand up in time to make a stand, Servant Bone Huaien will not be forced to a dead end, Your Majesty thinks, in the Anshi Rebellion, Servant Bone Huaien's family died forty-six people in battle, and there is no one in the family of uncles, brothers and nephews, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, His three daughters married to the leader of the barbarian tribe Khan as peace partners, which can be described as full of loyalty, will a person like him easily rebel? ”
Li Yu sighed: "Yes, I have been a little sluggish in this matter!" ”
Sluggish? This was said lightly, Zhao Ziliang shook his head secretly, and a slower response killed a feudal official and a famous general with outstanding military achievements?
Zhao Ziliang took a bite of the dish, only to see Li Yu stop his chopsticks and say: "In the matter of servant bone Huaien, I am ashamed!" Uncle, why do those generals think of rebelling when they have military power in their hands, I haven't treated them badly, why do they treat me like this? Uncle, you say, what should I do now? ”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has fallen into this situation, in the final analysis, the system is no longer suitable, and reforms must be implemented!" Now there are actually enough conditions for reform, over the years, a large number of people in the Tang Dynasty have migrated to the West Qin, and the sharp decline in population has also reduced the pressure of land annexation, and now those families who occupy a large amount of land, officials, landlords and scholars can not find enough tenants to cultivate for them, and a large number of fields are barren, if the imperial court implements some policies at this time, it can not only solve the problem of ordinary people not having land to cultivate, but also make those lands not barren! Of course, this is only a land issue, there is also a problem of industry and commerce, the imperial court's policy of fattening and killing pigs to merchants is absolutely undesirable, if you want to increase taxes, you must not exhaust the fish! Just now His Majesty asked what should be done, and the minister thought that it was the wisest decision for His Majesty to appoint the minister as the regent, after a series of previous events, the people of the world and the civil and military officials were already very disappointed in Your Majesty, and the feudal towns in various places no longer respected Your Majesty as much as before, so Your Majesty can no longer do wrong things, and if you do wrong things again, Your Majesty's prestige will be completely lost. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And the best way to not do something wrong is to not do anything, and don't care about anything! Now that His Majesty has appointed the minister as the regent, even if there is any mistake, it is only the fault of the minister alone, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty, and the people of the world, the ministers of the court and the feudal towns in various places have no reason to blame His Majesty for the crime, and all the blame is borne by the minister, but if the minister can change the chaotic situation of the Tang Dynasty through reform, make the politics clear, restore the national strength, and make the Tang Dynasty prosperous, isn't this Your Majesty has the wisdom to know people? ”
Li Yu was overjoyed, slapped the table and laughed: "Hahaha, my uncle said it so well!" I listened to my uncle's words, it's really better than reading a book for ten years! You are right, Shun can't be wrong now, and if he is wrong, those generals of the clan town will have more reason to rebel, so Shun can't take care of things anymore, and the Chinese martial affairs will have to trouble the uncle, but if something happens, the uncle will have to bear all the responsibility and wronged the uncle! ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "The minister is not aggrieved, if the reform can be successful, the Tang Dynasty can be prosperous, and the minister can also become a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Ju Wenzhen was sweating on his forehead when he heard this, and he wanted to stop Li Yu from handing over all military and political affairs to Zhao Ziliang and not caring about anything, but Zhao Ziliang was here, and now he stood up and persuaded him, and he would offend Zhao Ziliang to death, this is a master who is not easy to get along with.
After lunch was over and Zhao Ziliang left the palace, Ju Wenzhen had the opportunity to talk to Li Yu.
"Your Majesty, you were really Meng Lang just now, how can you hand over all the military and political affairs to Zhao Ziliang and don't care about anything? In this way, don't you just retreat to the deep palace and hand over all your rights? ”
Li Yu was dissatisfied: "Didn't you listen to Zhao Ziliang just now? I can't do anything now, if I continue to manage things, once something goes wrong, those generals of the feudal towns will have a reason to oppose me, a reason to rebel, and my prestige will disappear, if I don't care about things, let Zhao Ziliang say, of course, I have the wisdom to know people and give credit to me, but if something goes wrong, it is Zhao Ziliang's fault, where can I find such good things? ”
Ju Wenzhen was in a hurry, he knew that the emperor had been brainwashed by Zhao Ziliang, he jumped to his feet and said anxiously: "Oh, my majesty, you have deceived Zhao Ziliang, since ancient times, which emperor would take the initiative to hand over his power to his subordinates?" If Zhao Ziliang is in power, who knows what he will do? ”
Li Yu was furious when he heard this, and slapped the table and shouted: "Bastard thing! It's power again, you all know how to fight for power and profit, Ju Wenzhen, don't think that I don't know, you and Yuan Zai and the ministers of the DPRK and China are fighting for this bit of power all day long, and make my great country like this, do you really think that I am easy to bully? Without you, wouldn't this Tang Dynasty court be able to turn? Do you really think I won't dare to kill you? ”
Ju Wenzhen was shocked, and quickly knelt down in front of Li Yu and begged for mercy loudly: "Your Majesty spare your life, spare your life, slave maid all this is for Your Majesty, slave maid's loyal heart can be learned from heaven and earth!" ”
Li Yu clenched his fists and stared at Ju Wenzhen viciously, before he let go of his fist for a long time, and his tone softened: "If it weren't for the sake of your loyalty, I would definitely not spare you!" You are a eunuch, what do you want so much power to do? You go to read the history books and see which dynasty and generation of eunuch dictatorship in history will have a good end? ”
When Ju Wenzhen heard this, she trembled with horror and became incontinent on the spot.
Li Yu saw Ju Wenzhen frightened like this, knowing that he was still a little afraid of himself, seeing him feel a little pitiful like this, he felt a little unbearable in his heart, and said: "You, why can't you learn from Gaolishi?" You look at Gao Lishi who served the imperial grandfather for decades, worked hard and complained, the imperial grandfather was very fond of him, he never took power, never privately befriended the minister, never formed a party, but who dared to despise him as the minister of the Chinese martial arts? And who would dare to disrespect him? ”
"Yes, yes, slave maid remember His Majesty's teachings!" Ju Wenzhen hurriedly kowtowed and agreed, he knew that this matter could not be changed, Zhao Ziliang's monopoly on power had become settled, the emperor was frightened by the rebels, Zhao Ziliang grasped the weakness of the emperor in order to persuade the emperor to retreat to the deep palace and hand over power.
Zhao Ziliang, who returned to the mansion, did not know what happened between Li Yu and Ju Wenzhen after he left, and he immediately convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs when he returned to the mansion.
After the civil and military ministers arrived, Zhao Ziliang took out the emperor's book and said to the ministers: "This time I went to the palace, things went smoothly beyond the expectations of the king, His Majesty looked for the king to go over, originally to appoint the king as the prime minister, and the full authority to act as the military and political affairs of the court, the king casually mentioned a sentence, saying that it is better to appoint the prime minister than to change the name regent, the two have the same rights, but the title is different, how do you know that the emperor actually agreed, this is the emperor's book, through the province of the door to appoint the king as the regent of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
During the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's order was called. After the first emperor unified the six countries, changed the order to the system, the system became a special document used to promulgate the emperor's important legal orders, the Han Dynasty followed the provisions of the Qin Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty made some modifications in the previous regulations, respectively, there are seven forms, namely, the book, the edict, and the edict, collectively referred to as the holy decree, the purpose is different, and the book is generally used to appoint the appointment and dismissal of high-level officials.
The news brought back by Zhao Ziliang made the civil and military ministers stunned, and they all couldn't believe that the emperor would call out the military and political power.
