Chapter 49: Authority is One

Seeing that everyone fell silent, Yang Ke continued: "The most difficult change in the past is personnel, the most fundamental thing in personnel is party struggle, and the most fundamental thing in party struggle is the struggle for interests. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qin lost its deer, the world chased it, once the five strategies were released, it was the deer, in the end things were not done, the court was boiling water to pour oil, so, the way of change, in the silent place, in the subtle layout, high to accumulate momentum, such as the water in the stream of thousands of people, once launched, then mighty, unstoppable, is the best policy. ”

"What does Childe mean silently, from small to large, from the surface to the inside, simmering slowly?" Tang Zhong is also a person of change, and he was the first to comprehend the deep meaning of Yang Ke's words.

"This is one of them." Yang Ke continued: "Since the past dynasties, it has been a snobbish game between the imperial power and the courtiers, although they check and balance each other, but also hinder each other, making it difficult to act and difficult to reach the sky. Ke believes that great changes must be supported by strong centralization, otherwise, it will be difficult to persevere. Only by centralizing power and unifying can we consistently persist to the end and not be swayed and entangled by the struggle for interests and the dispute over the situation of the DPRK. ”

Yang Ji asked meaningfully: "In your opinion, should you start with the rule of officials?" ”

Yang Ke also looked at Yang Ji meaningfully: "What is more fundamental than the rule of officials is the regulation of decision-making, the establishment of a central council under the queen mother, directly obeying the orders of the queen mother, commanding all important military and political affairs, and the exchanges are concentrated here, and the decision-making comes from one door." The six ministries and nine kings are only responsible for the implementation, although the deer is still there, so that the courtiers have no qualifications to chase the deer, they can only cooperate in the division of labor to participate in the hunting. "Since ancient times, the struggle between military power and relative power has been a difficult brother and sister, and no one can do without anyone, but no one dares to let the other side dominate. There are also relatively good emperors in history, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, who has done the work of six parts by himself, but this is not scientific, and it is impossible for every emperor to do it, it is just a historical accident, and it is not a successful case. The pattern of interests in the Jin Dynasty is more complicated, although the eunuch group has not yet been formed, but there are already two forces of relatives and vassal kings participating in the competition, which is even more complicated. There are also cases in history where strong emperors can still achieve centralization without relying on the system, such as Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, etc., but the current Empress Dowager Yang Zhi obviously does not have these prestige and qualifications. Since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the implementation of the system of the military aircraft department to complete the centralization, is also the best centralized system in history, of course, the centralization of power, in fact, the rise and fall of the country on the emperor alone, is also a very dangerous thing, such as the famous husband of Yang Guifei in history, in the early years to create a prosperous era, but in his later years it caused the Anshi Rebellion that Tang Ming Emperor brother, he himself could not die well, so that the whole country fell into dire straits, and later generations commented that his most fundamental mistake was that he lived too long and did not hand over his rights while he was soberand began to toss around. The Qing Dynasty went from prosperity to decline, and finally came to the end of changing the dynasty, which is a bloody lesson. Yang Ke pondered for a long time, the lesser of the two evils, the heavier of the two benefits, to what mountain to sing what song, in order to complete the reform, it is imperative to use the way of centralization to seek stability or even autocracy, to escort the change, as for the harm of centralization, to the next step to avoid.

Yang Ji smiled: "Ke'er, do you have any good suggestions for the candidate of the Central Council?" ”

Yang Ke spread his hands: "My nephew is just offering advice and advice, as for the candidate, of course, it will be decided later." ”

When Tang Zhong received the Empress Dowager's decree, he said to Tang Bin: "The authority in the world is all vested in the Empress Dowager alone, and Xiu Lie is really a master, and he has passed the level of Lord Yang without blood." ”

"Hasn't Lord Yang always been of the same mind as Childe?" Tang Bin was faintly confused.

"You, it's okay to lead troops to fight, but the battle between the court and the situation is not over. If there is no Central Council, think about it, who else can lead the government and monopolize power except Lord Yang? But now you see。。。。。。 Tang Zhong handed the will to Tang Bin.

Tang Bin looked at the candidates for the Central Council on Yi Zhi, Yang Ji, Zhang Hua, Wang Xiang, Wen Yang, and Sima Lun were among the ministers of parliament, Tang Zhong was appointed as the secretary of the Central Council, that is, the director and secretary general of the Central Council Office, this layout is really profound, relatives, scholars, cronies, military generals, and vassal kings stand on their feet, and Yang Zhi is the one with the biggest vested interests. Tang Bin still didn't understand: "But Lord Yang is highly respected, and he has never been greedy for power?" ”

"That was in the past, people, once they sat in that position and realized the benefits of that position, there were a few people who were willing to give up." Tang Zhong sighed: "It's just that I can't understand Gongzi more and more, he is still in the wild, but he can always be the person of that layout, what is his ambition?" ”

When Tang Zhong sighed, Yang Zhi's edict caused a thousand waves among the scholars at the same time, and the elders of the scholars gathered outside Wang Xiang's mansion.

"Seniors, Jia Yan is indeed sick and can't get out of bed, your kindness, Jia Yan received it, and ordered the younger generations to thank and apologize, Jia Yan said that he couldn't clean up his clothes, lying on the sickbed, not hospitality, please go back, after Jia Yan Kangtai, the younger generations came to worship one by one." Wang Xiang's son, Wang Lie, was thanking the guests, bowing very respectfully, and apologizing one by one.

In the bedroom, Wang Xiang sat cross-legged on the couch, with white hair and silver beard, his eyes slightly closed, his spirit was strong, and his face was not half sick. When the door opened, Wang Lie walked in: "Father, it's easy to persuade them to leave." ”

Wang Xiang opened his eyes slightly: "Lie'er, what do you think of them gathering in front of the mansion today?" ”

Wang Lie bowed his head very respectfully and replied: "The child is stupid, I don't know if I guess right, first, I know that my father has entered the Central Council to congratulate him, and second, I have come to visit my father's illness. ”

"Do you know why my father can't get sick and closes his door?"

"The father must have a reason for doing this, but the son doesn't know." Wang Lie still replied respectfully.

Wang Xiang snorted: "If my father didn't guess wrong, there must be a lot of vassal kings or people appointed by the vassal king in front of Sima Lun's mansion at this moment. ”

"Why is that?" Wang Lie asked.

"These nobles and vassal kings are all smart people, and they have already smelled something unusual. The Queen Mother was even more clever, and stuffed this big coalbed basin to her father and King Zhao. The scholars and vassal kings are here to probe our mouth, hoping to win back a game, let the queen mother take back her fate, and stop the discussion of the Central Council. As soon as these old scholars leave, someone will come to visit immediately, I don't know if it is Yang Ji or Zhang Hua, or it may be two people coming together. Before the words fell, an old servant spread outside the door: "Master, Lord Yang and Master Zhang are here to visit." ”
