Chapter 540: Taking History as a Mirror

At this moment, an official came out of the ranks, first saluted Li Shimin, and then said to Qin Feng with mockery: "The meaning of Chief Manager Qin is that he admires the tyrant Yang Guang very much. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Chief Qin admires such a tyrant, and he has the act of slaughtering foreign races, I think your nature is not much different from him! ā€

Yang Guang's reputation has always been bad, and during the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of political needs, Yang Guang became an outright negative teaching material, almost to the point of being scolded by everyone.

Qin Feng saw that this person was aggressive and scheming, and he also became angry, and said secretly: "The tiger is not powerful, really think we are sick cats?" Immediately smiled at ease, and there was an indescribable chic elegance on his casual face: "This benevolent man sees the wisdom of the benevolent and the wise, if someone uses the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman, then Qin is helpless!" As for the massacre of foreign races, I had already said that I had debated a few times, and I was no longer in the mood to make any more useless arguments, and I still said the same thing as before: those who are not of my race will have different hearts, and I have no guilt in killing those people. ā€

Where can the ministers not hear the implication of these words, it is clear that they are referring to Sang scolding Huai and scolding this official for being a villain. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who had seen Qin Feng's sword and sword smiled very meaningfully, I haven't seen Qin Feng for a long time, I miss it a lot, last time, it was the time when Lao Feng died, it seems that it has been a long time! It's just that Qin Feng's reaction this time was so bland, which was really surprising.

The spirit of the official was invigorated, and he sneered again and again: "Let's not talk about the number of aliens for the time being, just talk about Yang Guang, he killed his father and brother, controlled the government and acted independently, first killed Gao Ying and other founding heroes, and then overhauled the canal. ā€

Qin Feng smiled: "The merits of the ancients can be seen at a glance. killed Gao Ying and other founding heroes, I never defended him; But in order to better control North China, he built the eastern capital Luoyang; In order to make the connection between Jiangnan and the Central Plains closer, the North-South Grand Canal was dug and the Jiangdu was toured several times; In the construction of national infrastructure, he dug long trenches, built gallop roads, and built the Great Wall; In terms of military strategy, he went out to the north to tour the Turks, fought to Linyi in the south, and passed through the Western Regions to the west, reopened the Silk Road, broke through Tuyuhun, and reincorporated Qinghai Province into the Chinese territory. He also sent envoys to Persia, and also crossed the sea to the South Seas to contact Fuso. At the same time, in terms of talents, he broke the concept of the clan, recruited the middle and lower classes of the landlord class, suppressed the strong and powerful, he was meritocracy, in order to give the talented people the opportunity to get ahead, but also improved the imperial examination system of Emperor Wen of Sui, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, but also spared no effort to promote the system of three provinces and six ministries. ā€

"The system of three provinces and six ministries has three advantages: first, it enables the bureaucracy to form a complete and rigorous system, improves administrative efficiency, and strengthens the ruling power of the central government; Second, the imperial power was strengthened. In the Qin and Han dynasties, the prime minister assisted the emperor in handling national political affairs, and was in the position of "under one person, above ten thousand". Whenever the emperor is incompetent, the prime minister may be autocratic. The establishment of the system of three provinces and six ministries, with three parts of power, is conducive to solving the contradiction between imperial power and relative power, and strengthens imperial power; At the same time, the number of parliamentarians has been expanded, and the effect of brainstorming has been obtained; Third, there was a clear division of responsibilities among the ministries, which was conducive to the centralization of power by the emperor and the implementation of government decrees, improved administrative efficiency, and gave full play to the effectiveness of state institutions. It is not an exaggeration to say that the system of three provinces and six ministries is a major change in the history of China's official system, and its emergence and perfection mark the maturity of the governance system. The role of the three provinces and six ministries system is like the abolition of Qin's subdivision, the line of counties and counties, the fixed measurement, the currency system, the car with the same track, and the book with the same text, which will play an indelible role in our Tang Dynasty and future generations. Through all of the above, Yang Guangzhi's merits and demerits can be seen at a glance, if you care about his faults, you can ignore his merits? Today's people judge the ancients precisely to take them as a warning, but you are the same as others...... only knows how to punish blindly, especially shamelessly. ā€

Du Ruhui was also displeased: "Why does Wang Yushi have to use strong words and reason to target the head of Qin Da everywhere? ā€

Where can the royal history surnamed Wang say Qin Feng, he was scolded by pointing his nose, his face was blue and white, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat Qin Feng, he would have been waving his fist at this moment. At this time, Du Ruhui, who was even more important, only spoke for Qin Feng, waving his sleeves and entering the ranks with hatred.

Qin Feng's words were not sharp, but they were unusually heavy, because they were the truth! Suddenly, there was silence in the court, only Qin Feng's clear voice was constantly echoing.

Wei Zheng's proposition on history and historical figures has always been: if there is a mistake, it will be degraded, and if there is merit, it will be praised, and he believes that historical facts are real history, and only real history can be used by future generations to learn from the strengths of their predecessors and abandon the shortcomings of their predecessors. Wei Zheng grabbed Li Shimin's pigtail and let it go and let the historian record it in detail, not because he was utilitarian, but because he left a real history for future generations.

Wei Zheng never imagined that Qin Feng could look at historical figures so rationally, and he had a confidant in his heart, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes, and he stood up to support Qin Feng and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with the words of the general manager of Qin, whether it is the construction of the Great Wall, the construction of the east, or the excavation of the canal, they are all virtuous politics that are beneficial to the great cause of the future, but Yang Guang has made people angry and resentful, and everyone in the world hates him to the core. The main reason is that they are too anxious, regardless of the people's strength, and act forcibly. So much so that local officials forced the people to work hard day and night. These projects were forcibly completed by officials who forced the people to work regardless of life and death with whips and knives, and stepped on the corpses strewn all over the field.

Li Shimin smiled.

Then this pedantic person looked at each other, and his eyes were as big as copper bells, but with the support of Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, how could these people dare to come out and be spurned by everyone?

"Your Majesty, just as Lord Wei said, Yang Guang only has his own great achievements in his eyes, and he can understand the suffering of the people! The minister remembered that His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang had said a very classic sentence...... "At the critical moment, Qin Feng deliberately stopped and did not say anything.

Li Shimin's eyes bent into a line, pretending not to know: "I have said a lot, I don't know which sentence you are referring to." The implication is that he has said a lot of classic things.

Qin Feng smiled secretly in his heart: "Your Majesty said to the Emperor Taishang at that time, 'The king's boat is also, the people's water is also, water can carry boats, and it can also overturn boats'. ā€

"Oh? If you remember, if you don't mention it, you will forget. I'll just say it...... As the emperor, Yang Guang stood above tens of thousands of people, thinking that he could dominate everything, but he didn't know that it was precisely because of the presence of thousands of people that he could become the king of a country. If you don't get the support of the people, you will eventually be overthrown by the people. In the end, Li Shimin became inexplicably narcissistic.

Qin Feng was speechless, word by word, not even the pause was the slightest mistake from that day, and he said "I have forgotten".

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, everyone didn't speak, they are a rare hero, but there is one thing that the two of them can't accept from beginning to end: they are very narcissistic, and they will praise themselves from time to time, making them all blush, but the person concerned looks complacent.

"Yang Guang was defeated because he was too anxious and didn't understand the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. He didn't know the people's feelings, he didn't sympathize with the people's feelings, and only the previous dynasty died twice. "Tao Te Ching" has a cloud: governing a big country, if cooking a small fresh, so in the development of Jiangnan, the minister believes that our dynasty should have a cautious heart, love the people, step by step to implement, for the development of the past dynasties, we should 'choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones'. Eventually, this great undertaking became a model for future generations to exploit wilderness. ā€

Speaking of this, Qin Feng said concludingly: "'Take copper as a mirror, you can dress properly, take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, take history as a mirror, and you can know the rise and fall', only in this way can Datang have fewer detours on the way forward." ā€

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng...... Waiting for the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to show a moved look.

"A good one's 'take copper as a mirror, you can dress properly, take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, take history as a mirror, and you can know the rise and fall' This sentence is really a famous saying that governs the world." Li Shimin's eyes lit up. For some reason, he had a special feeling for this famous aphorism. The more Li Shimin chewed, the more he felt that the meaning was far-reaching, and he greatly admired: "If all my Datang officials take this as a warning, my Datang will definitely be richer and stronger." Qin Aiqing, go back and write down these twenty-seven words, I want to hang these twenty-seven words on the main hall of the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, and I want all the officials of the early dynasty to take warning. ā€

Qin Feng was a little embarrassed, but he also accepted it calmly.

This was originally Li Shimin's warning words, but how many people can do this?

Too many people, too many things, wait until they happen to be alert, but everything has happened, what's the point of being alert? The only role is nothing more than to make amends, and as for not too late, that's.

Before it's too late, it's impossible to get the lost sheep back, not to mention that the loss of a national event is far more than just a sheep. If everyone can "take copper as a mirror, you can dress properly, take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, take history as a mirror, and you can know the rise and fall", it is definitely the blessing of the Tang Dynasty.

After today's early dynasty, with the acquiescence of Li Shimin and the approval of the three prime ministers, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng, how could a few opposing courtiers hinder the general trend?

The resolution related to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was decided under Qin Feng's proposal and with the approval of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

After the matter was decided, the resolute Li Shimin immediately issued an order, ordering Shangshu Province to select capable ministers to go from Chang'an to various places in the south of the Yangtze River to investigate and investigate, to find effective evidence for the large-scale development, and to order each county in the south of the Yangtze River to set aside one acre of land to try out the rice planting method of two seasons a year.

With the people who decided to make this proposal, except for Qin Feng, no one imagined what earth-shaking changes the development of Jiangnan would bring to Datang.

Even later, after Li Shimin abdicated due to his advanced age, his descendants asked him what were the most correct decisions he made in his life.

Li Shimin replied without hesitation: "Reuse Qin Feng and develop the ...... in the south of the Yangtze River"
