Chapter 425: Separation
Regarding the national industrial division of labor, Shi Bufan successfully fooled Li Shimin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Shi Bufan knows the essence of the feudal emperor very well, because everything about him revolves around the so-called maintenance of imperial power and ruling power. Shi Bufan successfully changed the concept, because under the pretext of preventing separatism, he successfully got Li Shimin to support him in the division of labor in all walks of life, which could avoid the division of the country. Of course, Li Shimin is not clear about the consequences of the division of labor in this industry, once the division of labor in the industry, it will inevitably bring about the development of the commodity economy. In particular, the current productive forces have developed considerably, and agri-food is hardly a problem. In the future, once the national division of labor is carried out, the division of labor in all walks of life has been effectively divided, and the small peasant economy of Datang will be further disintegrated and collapsed. Coupled with the impact of the commodity economy on the feudal foundation of Datang, the feudal foundation of Datang was actually shaken again.
Li Shimin's thinking has to be said to be still stuck at the point of treating headaches and pains, because he does not know the general trend of history in the future, and he does not know what the society of the commodity economy will be. Li Shimin's thinking is still stuck in the self-sufficiency of the natural economy, he is not a god, and he cannot predict the future. The ancients were all human beings, not gods, and could not predict the future social structure, including the extraordinary times. Perhaps Li Shimin is very powerful in the military, but in terms of social structure, he is too far behind when he is extraordinary. His thinking is still stuck in the feudal period, and his understanding of the world of commodity economy is very insufficient, so he naturally makes this misjudgment.
"Vice President Shi, I want to ask you to come and have some advice recently, you see......" said a middle-aged official.
Shi Bufan asked, "Oh? Is it Xu Jingzong? ”
Xu Jingzong, a traitor in history, was beaten into the identity of a traitor. And his biggest crime is to support Wu Zetian and support Wu Zetian to become the queen. However, Shi Bufan knows very well whether this Xu Jingzong is a traitor or not, all by the mouth of the victor. The political struggles in Wu Zetian's period already had the nature of "class struggle", and they were not so simple. represents the beginning of the rise of the Hanmen, and those who support Wu Zetian as the queen are actually dominated by the Hanmen. Most of the opponents against Wu Zetian were born in the scholar clan, which has to make people feel paradoxical. Although Xu Jingzong's ancestors were also officials, their official positions were not big. Although the cold family was suppressed in the politics of the noble clan, it was not absolute, and there were occasional few who could go to the top, but the difficulties of everyone here are not something that ordinary people can measure.
Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, and even a lot of people who support Wu Zetian, their ancestors don't have any real prominent history, they all rely on the rise of recent generations, and they belong to the poor family. Xu Jingzong became a traitor, it was nothing more than that he supported Wu Zetian, so he became a traitor. Shi Bufan will not believe that there are any loyal ministers in this world, because there are only eternal interests. So Shi Bufan didn't mind associating with Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, because in fact, they also had common interests.
Xu Jingzong's current identity is a member of the Zhongshu Society, but he is also currently responsible for compiling history books, and he is one of the real people in charge of compiling history books. Although Shi Bufan is nominally responsible for the revision of history, he is only a nominal vice president, just to occupy the reputation of participating in the revision of history. However, Xu Jingzong is really involved, not in name only.
"Vice President Shi, recently, we have been compiling history books, especially the history of the Jin Dynasty, and we have mentioned the sub-feudal system. We really feel that we have different praises and disapprovals for the sub-sealing system, which is really difficult to write. Recently, I heard that the original servant Xiao Yu gave advice to the emperor, hoping that the emperor could divide the royal family and defend the royal family. This makes us dare not write, and if we are not careful, I am afraid that we will ......," Xu Jingzong said carefully.
"I'll go, Xiao Yu, fooling around at this time?" Shi Bufan complained.
Xiao Yu actually proposed a sub-feudal system with Li Shimin, and divided those royal families to serve as state assassins in the local area. Shi Bufan immediately thought of a practice of Li Shimin in the original history, that is, he planned to implement a feudal system, and divide the royal family and some meritorious heroes into hereditary states, that is, divide some states and counties to the royal family and meritorious heroes, so that they can be hereditary. Unless it is a heinous crime such as rebellion, it cannot be canceled. However, this sub-feudal system almost resurrected in the Zhenguan period, so many people have mixed opinions about the sub-feudal system, especially for the sub-feudal system of the royal family, which is even more inscrutable.
But there was nothing originally, at this time, it was necessary to write about the sub-feudal system of the Jin Dynasty, and to write about the sub-feudal system of the Jin Dynasty, it would inevitably be impossible to bypass the rebellion of the Eight Kings. After the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, it was the Yongjia Rebellion, which finally set off a chaotic era. These things can't be bypassed, which makes the officials in charge of history revision under great pressure.
Of course, as an ancient official, there was a lot of controversy about the system of sub-feudal system. However, the general system of sub-enclosure is mixed, but it is far more derogatory than praised. However, this Xiao Yu proposed to implement the sub-sealing system at this time, which made Li Shimin quite moved.
Xiao Yu suggested the implementation of the sub-sealing system at this time, which embarrassed many officials in charge of revising history. It is very embarrassing whether you should agree or disagree. If it is according to tradition, it should be opposed. But now the political situation is a bit complicated, which makes them all extremely embarrassed, and those officials who are responsible for revising history are helpless. This is because all the revision of history must be evaluated on ancient history, and the evaluation of ancient history may be affected by the political environment of the revision of history at that time. Because many historians like to use the past to satirize the present, the evaluation of ancient historical events will be somewhat related to the political situation of the era in which the historian lived.
An evaluation often assumes the idea of the political attitude of the historian. Cultivating history is not so simple, Shi Bufan knows this very well as history, history is a beautiful woman who has stripped off her clothes, and let people go on it casually. As for how to beautify or belittle, this still depends on the environment at the time. The same historical event has different evaluations in different eras, such different evaluations. This is actually a dialectic, and different productive forces in different eras have different thinking, which affects the historian's evaluation of history, and this is the biggest problem.
"All history is contemporary history!" Shi Bufan finally sighed.
When Xu Jingzong heard Shi Bufan's words, he immediately felt quite touched. Because as an official who revises history, he certainly knows that when he revises history, he evaluates the events and policies of ancient history, which is unavoidable for any historian. And how this historian evaluates, it is related to the political pattern and world pattern when revising history, as well as the thoughts of the people's hearts. Different people's minds have different thoughts, and different eras have different people's minds, which will definitely cause a lot of problems. And Shi Bufan's sentence "All history is contemporary history" made Xu Jingzong feel that this sentence was too incisive.
In fact, this evaluation of the sub-feudal system is actually very simple, and the vast majority of courtiers will not support this sub-feudal system, but agree with the centralization of power. Because the central totalitarianism is a good thing for the courtiers, and even for the scholars or the poor families, it is of great benefit. Don't think that the scholars are strong in the local area, so they will agree to the feudal system, in fact, the scholars value the centralization of power more. Because according to the principle of the sub-feudal system, these scholars are not eligible to be divided, and those who are eligible to be sub-feudal are all relatives of the Son of Heaven or some meritorious heroes, and they are not qualified to participate in the sub-feudalization.
Naturally, they want to support centralization, and the more centralized the central power, the better it will be for them. Because the central totalitarian power could promote their power, the gentry were mainly employed in the central institutions, so they must have naturally supported centralized power. Of course, the same is true for the Hanmen, because only the centralization of power can guarantee the power of the Hanmen. Why is this so, because the background strength of the Hanmen is worse than that of the scholars, and they completely rely on the authority of the central government to rule. They don't have much power in the local area, they don't have much power and influence, and the only thing they can rely on is the "state apparatus" of the government to rule, so the more centralized the central government, the more beneficial it is to be a poor official.
In any case, whether it is a scholar or a poor family, they agree with many things in terms of centralization.
"Xiao Yu, it seems that he is not giving up! Xiao Yu threw out the seal at this time, most of which was just the butt deciding the head. On the one hand, he is a member of the wealthy family in Jiangnan, and at this stage, Jiangnan has not been developed much, of course they are not worried that someone will be rewarded to Jiangnan when they are divided. Therefore, Xiao Yu proposed the sub-feudal system, which catered to Li Shimin's personal ideas to a certain extent, and was conducive to Li Shimin's idea of maintaining imperial power. ”
This time, Xiao Yu chose to stand on the side of the imperial power and chose to support the imperial power. As for this separation, then he did this, which is obviously not in line with the general trend of history. He did this, most likely because he didn't want to quit the stage of history so quickly, and wanted to use this means to make a comeback. However, this Xiao Yu did this obviously to cater to the idea of Li Shimin, the emperor. The advantages of the feudal system for a country outweigh the disadvantages, but for the emperor, especially the founding emperor, it is ...... Hehe! ”
Within a few days, Li Shimin actually held a court meeting very quickly, and this court meeting actually began to discuss this matter.
"Xiao Yu wrote to me, saying that in order to maintain the long-term peace and stability of my Tang Dynasty, I can divide the royal family and meritorious heroes into hereditary state assassins, and punish those who have committed the heinous crimes, otherwise they cannot be deprived. I think so, I think that to maintain the long-term peace and stability of my Tang Dynasty, I can divide the royal family and the nobles into the state assassin history, so that I can defend my Tang Dynasty. If there is an accident, it can be solved nearby, and it is a good policy to maintain the long-term peace and stability of my Datang! Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin's words immediately shocked many people, this Li Shimin actually wanted to restore the sub-sealing system. Although it is only a hereditary state assassin history, and there is no so-called military power, it is also a kind of feudal system. You must know that since the Han Dynasty, the feudal system has been unpopular, even if some princes have the so-called food estate, it is only the imperial court to collect tax compensation to the feudal lord, not directly by those who have titles. However, Li Shimin actually wanted to carry out the system of dividing some states to assassinate history, so he obviously hoped to maintain the stability of his imperial power.
"Hey, the feudal emperor's mind is troublesome!" Shi Bufan thought about it.
Li Shimin's desire to restore the feudal system is actually a kind of feudal imperial ideology. From the Western Zhou feudal system, the county system after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and then to the parallel of the counties and states of the Han Dynasty. And Liu Bang wantonly named those so-called royal families with the same surname as the kings of the feudal country, hoping to let those princes with the same surname protect the Liu family.
This kind of system of dividing the imperial family into feuds is actually because the emperors do not trust their courtiers and are afraid of the appearance of powerful ministers. After Liu Bang divided the feudal system, Empress Lu once wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty. After Empress Lu died, those princes and kings surnamed Liu also began to prepare together to rebel against the Lu family and prepare to raise troops. However, later Zhou Bo successfully smashed the rebellion of the Lu family and supported Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. However, some of Liu Bang's wishes still had an effect, that is, he hoped that the princes and kings of the Liu family could raise troops to maintain the power of the imperial family when necessary. This kind of division is based on the emperor's desire to maintain his family's power, and he hopes to achieve a method of maintaining power, not a simple political system.
The Han Dynasty also caused the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and finally Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted the Tui'en Order, which solved the situation that the local princes and kings brought about by the division of the imperial family were huge and rebelled against the central government. In fact, this princes and kings with the same surname are beneficial to the founding emperor, but not to others. From Liu Bang to Sima's family, and even from Li Shimin to Zhu Yuanzhang later, they all had the idea of dividing the feudal system, especially the royal family with the same surname, so that those royal families could defend the central government and the emperor in the local area, which could maintain the authority of the emperor and avoid the result of powerful ministers.
Of course, this will inevitably lead to civil war, and the risk of civil war will greatly increase, which is not conducive to the stable production of the people. However, in order to protect his family, the emperor did not hesitate to put the people in the risk of civil war, but also to maintain the stability of his family, and the stability of the power of himself and his descendants, that is, to avoid the usurpation of the throne by powerful ministers and relatives. This is an act of maintaining his family's country, and it is an out-and-out family and world thought, so it is not surprising that Li Shimin also has this idea, because for him, he is also a feudal emperor, and he is not noble enough to be able to do everything for the people.
