Chapter 130: Spit out bitterness
After Cui Jie'an offered a plan, he was greatly praised by Ye Luliang, and walked back to the Tongwen Pavilion happily, and before he walked into the door, he was told that Lu Chengqi had sent an attendant to announce that he would enter the palace tomorrow. He was surprised and delighted www.biquge.info Pen, Fun Pavilion, and said in his heart: "This is really a double happiness, it seems that this little emperor of Dashun is also afraid that I will join forces with Daliao!" Hmph, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? ”
The activities of his mind are unknown to others. After entering the Tongwen Pavilion, I saw the waiter who had been waiting for a long time. Waiting for someone is the most annoying thing, even if it is a well-trained chamber servant, he is impatient to wait at the moment. After seeing Cui Jie'an, he quickly read out Lu Chengqi's message, and didn't even teach the routine etiquette, so he ignored the color of the Goryeo envoys, and took the rest of the little fathers-in-law out of the door and left.
Cui Jie'an has already come to Dashun many times, and he knows Dashun's etiquette well, so he doesn't need to do it again. Seeing such a prosperous little chamberlain, he smiled coldly in his heart and said: "Even a father-in-law is so impatient, and Dashun seems to be unable to last long." In the "Tao Te Ching", it is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and this little emperor is so impatient that he has committed a big taboo. As long as you catch this, you can hit the death hole of the little emperor. ”
Cui Jie'an's conclusion through appearances is really very different from the real situation. Lu Chengqi's urgency is for Dashun to quickly get rid of Shen Zhen and glow with new vitality. If Lu Chengqi was really impatient, I am afraid that he would have been unable to bear it a long time ago, and he would have to lay a national road and dig the Grand Canal within a year.
When it's time to hurry, cut through the mess with a quick knife; When it should be slow, it should be cooked as if it were small and fresh, and simmered slowly. One piece and one relaxation, the way to govern the country is revealed. This is the deepest thing that Lu Chengqi has experienced since he became in power.
Just like this negotiation, we have to slowly grind foreign workers with these Khitans and Koreans. It's best to be ambiguous and not let others know your bottom line.
And take advantage of this time to step up the training of the army, enhance the combat effectiveness, and make preparations with both hands. At the same time, economic development must not be relaxed, and it is necessary to continue to promote the development of commerce, accelerate the disintegration of the stubborn small-scale peasant economy, and liberate the productive forces.
After the little chamberlain reported back to Lu Chengqi, Lu Chengqi was reading a book. He gradually became obsessed with Confucian statecraft. Not to mention, Confucianism's statecraft is indeed unique, but it is a pity that it is not suitable for a large country, and only suitable for the governance of a small country and a small country. Lu Chengqi was deeply aware of this, but he still continued to study. After all, in this era, the Confucian idea of great unification is still nominally used, which is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken. Lu Chengqi is familiar with the Confucian classics, in order to find out from the Confucian classics, with Confucianism as the surface, Legalism as the inside, Mohism as the blood, and soldiers as the weapon. Confucianism alone is simply not possible to comprehensively coordinate every aspect of such a large country. Otherwise, Confucianism would not continue to have so many new schools, all of which were primitive Confucian classics, and lacked the idea of governing a great country, which made people who studied Confucian classics in the past generations hollowed out their minds and founded new Confucian schools.
Minutes and seconds passed, and night slowly began to fall. At this time, it is close to the height of summer, and the days are getting longer and the nights are shorter. Every night came late, and on the street of Chang'an City, there was a carriage tapping on the bluestone street and heading to the north of the city.
Xufu in the north of the city is the place where this carriage is going to arrive. A middle-aged man in a brocade robe came out of the car, walked to the front of Xu's mansion, and knocked lightly on the door. After a while, a butler came out of the room and welcomed him in. And the coachman of the carriage was on this street, waiting for his master to come out.
In Xu's mansion, in a room full of books, Xu Chongguang, the head of the cabinet, was talking to this man.
Looking at the front, this man is the head of the household, Lin Zhenzhong. I only heard him say: "Teacher, you called the students, but what do you have to teach?" ”
Xu Chongguang drank the tea handed over by Lin Zhenzhong, took a sip, closed the lid of the cup, and then said: "Without him, it's just that the old man has been a little unable to understand His Majesty's actions in recent days." ”
When Lin Zhenzhong heard this, he looked outside vigilantly, made a silent gesture, got up and probed out of the door, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no one outside, he closed the door of the study tightly, and said softly: "Teacher, aren't you afraid that there are inspectors outside, I heard that this inspector is pervasive, such a criticism of the emperor, if the inspector hears it, I'm afraid it will ......."
Xu Chongguang smiled: "In the town, you also know the old man." The old man's life is bright, what is there that can't see the light? If the inspector denounces the old man based on these few words, then this little emperor is not worthy of the old man's assistance. ”
Lin Zhenzhong sighed: "I'm most afraid that the three of them will become tigers, teacher, you and I have become important ministers of the court, and we have to be more careful in the future." Since ancient times, the friends and township parties, which has a good end! Presumably, His Majesty doesn't want to see this situation, and he will definitely let his ministers be alienated. ”
Xu Chongguang is also an old and refined figure, for what Lin Zhenzhong said, where is it not clear what is at stake? It's just that he doesn't care about pretending, and he even has to hide when he meets his students. What's more, Lu Chengqi has issued a holy decree and will not be judged by words. The holy decree has been issued, how can the emperor's golden words be made out of nothing and fabricate his accusations out of thin air?
This is also Xu Chongguang's "trumped-up" crime that he didn't know about in the Southern Song Dynasty, if he knew, he would probably have restrained himself a little, at least not so obviously.
Xu Chongguang didn't want to say these meaningless words anymore, and said straight to the point: "In the town, you said, what kind of stimulus did the little emperor this time have, since the fall of Taishi Yang, it seems that he has changed into another person. There used to be no city, but now it looks like there is no city on the surface, but it is unpredictable inside. Others say that the old man is the first assistant scenery, but in fact, it is difficult inside, who can know? ”
Lin Zhenzhong was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect Xu Chongguang to come over and vent his bitterness to him. He didn't know the relationship between the cabinet and the emperor, so he didn't dare to say much, but just listened quietly to Xu Chongguang's narration.
"If the old man was a master in the past, with years of learning, he would definitely not lose the historical fame. But the little emperor said that he would withdraw the three provinces, set up this cabinet, and put the old man in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet. The old man also understood his intention in this move, but he was just using the old man's prestige to suppress some officials who did not accept the cabinet system and seal the mouth of the imperial historian. The old man thought that the head of the cabinet must be the same as Zaifu, and no matter how bad it is, it will be the same as the privy envoy, but unexpectedly, all the power inside was controlled by the little emperor alone. Is this still what kind of scholar and the Son of Heaven rule the world together? This is simply the little emperor's words! This cabinet chief assistant has done a really bad job, it is better to be an idle official like Taishi Taifu Taibao, Shaoshi Shaofu Shaobao, and Shaofu Shaobao! ”
