Chapter 228: Concubine Concubine
Zhou Zhiruo said softly: "Actually, the concubine also knows that Your Majesty is determined to be a good emperor, but you also have to pay attention to the dragon body." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 There are so many state affairs every day, and with the talent of Wenzong, you can't take it all over by yourself, and you have to ask for assistance. Since Your Majesty has set up a cabinet, then let the cabinet ministers do it, why should Your Majesty do everything yourself and work hard? ”
As he spoke, he opened the food box containing his lunch, and an enticing fragrance wafted out from the inside of the food box. This food box is made by skilled craftsmen with a kind of hardwood called wenge, with red sandalwood, huanghuali and other hardwood wood, which is not only beautiful and generous, but also drip-proof. These woods are fine-grained, glossy, strong and tough, and the food boxes made of them are not only resistant to bumps, but also have a certain weight, and are not easy to shake when picking and lifting. In addition, most of the furniture at this time is a mortise and tenon structure, and hardwood has a unique advantage in splicing and production, and has a significant effect in thermal insulation. The food in the food box will not be cold if it is stored for more than an hour. It can even have anti-corruption effects, and the meals packed in the food box will not be spoiled even if they are left for a day or two. The ingenuity of the ancient craftsmen can be imagined. It is also only a wealthy and luxurious family like the royal family that can make so many exquisite food boxes in batches, and the food boxes of ordinary people are just made of wood, bamboo, lacquerware, etc.
Lu Chengqi heard Zhou Zhiruo's words, and didn't know how to explain his good intentions to her. These important ministers of the country, handling political affairs, are not more than one or two points stronger than him, the emperor. But their vision will always have limitations, how can they compare to their own insight as a reborn person who has transcended this era for thousands of years?
Naturally, he doesn't need to worry too much about subtle things, but the country's major policy direction still needs to be checked by him personally. If these important ministers of the country are fake, under the influence of historical inertia, they will definitely continue to follow the old path. It is nothing more than the change of dynasties one after another, and then in the continuous repetition, it is slowly able to accumulate quantitative changes, and only at the last opportunity will the qualitative changes be completed.
Huaxia has thousands of years of history, which is a remarkable achievement. But it is also this heavy history that makes many people look up to the ancient sages too much, and they don't know how to move forward.
Isn't there a saying that the development of things always spirals upwards and moves in waves. In fact, history is also like this, if there is no person with great vision to guide the way forward, human beings can only accumulate experience after making mistakes again and again, in order to avoid the minefield, and slowly progress.
This idea is too profound, not to mention Zhou Zhiruo, even if he talks to Xu Chongguang, it is estimated that this cabinet chief assistant, who is old and sophisticated, will not understand half of it. This is the way of thinking of the ancients, too solidified, too superstitious about what the ancient sages left behind.
It is undeniable that many of the words of the ancient sages are correct. But this is just a worldview, not a methodology. If the Analects were to the level of methodology and used to govern the country, I am afraid that Dashun would also follow the old path of the Song and Ming dynasties, and eventually either be destroyed by the backward nomads or drowned in the mighty peasant uprisings.
This historical cycle of continuous changes of dynasties just can't jump out, why? The contradictions between the ruling class and the peasants became increasingly intense, and when the peasants had no land or food, the uprising would break out. Then the previous dynasty will be overthrown and the next one will be established. Again and again, the status of the peasants is still the lowest and most insecure.
After the success of the peasant uprising, the vested interest groups turned into landlords and continued to exploit the peasants. If you can't change the superstructure, you have to change the economic base. The consequence of alleviating the contradiction is that the contradiction will always exist. Only by transferring the main contradiction can we establish another interest group and prevent people from dying in politics. Shift the contradictions, business is the most. Even if you don't like it, that's how history goes. Practice has proven that after commercialization, the change of dynasties is indeed not so frequent. Because the biggest vested interests are businessmen, how can they do business if they don't have a stable world? And Lu Chengqi will never let private people sell weapons, and he will not let them make war profits. Because of this kind of thing, it is best if the court comes forward.
All of the above is the result of philosophical consideration of a country's future. Just imagine, how could Lu Chengqi say these words to Zhou Zhiruo? Even if she said it, she wouldn't understand it! Therefore, Lu Chengqi naturally couldn't argue, so he could only change the topic and tell Zhou Zhiruo some short things about the parents, so that the atmosphere would be lively and not so dull. Lu Chengqi always believes that if a family can't even make jokes, then even if the family doesn't fall apart, it will be inseparable.
At this time, Zhou Zhiruo was also interested, and impatiently talked about the interesting story of the welfare home. Reading between the lines, Lu Chengqi noticed that these fatherless and motherless orphans seemed to have gradually stepped out of the psychological shadow and become like a normal person.
Zhou Zhiruo held chopsticks and chopsticks, and at the same time her eyebrows fluttered and recounted the interesting stories of the welfare home, talking and talking, it seemed that she had substituted herself into the position of the mother of these poor children. At the end, he said leisurely: "Your Majesty, it is still thanks to you that the concubine knows that there are so many unfortunate people in the world, fatherless and motherless......"
Lu Chengqi's heart trembled, and when he heard this, he once again remembered his parents in his previous life, and a tear almost rolled down. Hurriedly lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of food to cover up the past.
Zhou Zhiruo continued: "...... However, there is one thing Your Majesty has not done enough, and the concubine must be criticized! ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiruo's face became a little serious, and Lu Chengqi raised his head in a little surprise and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Although Your Majesty's mother-in-law died early, but the concubine of the imperial examination is still there, why has Your Majesty not stepped into the Gyeongbok Hall for more than half a year? The concubine knows that His Majesty's soul loss has not yet been cured, but the Emperor Kao Shufei Liu has been watching His Majesty grow up! Ignored for nearly half a year, what does this make Empress Dowager Liu think? Even His Majesty's concubine can't be so ruthless? When Zhou Zhiruo said this, she seemed to be very indignant, and she almost didn't point at Lu Chengqi's nose and scold. Fortunately, her family education is very strict, and she can be regarded as knowledgeable, and she has become a queen, and she speaks in just the right way.
It's just that Lu Chengqi was stunned there, holding the delicate white porcelain bowl in one hand, and he didn't know what to say. (To be continued.) )
