Chapter 18: Resignation and Threat (II)
Seeing that he came up to show that there was no possibility of the new deal being retracted, Su Ge sighed secretly and said, "You say." ”
He Ran took a sip of tea and said, "My brother said that the new deal will encourage the people to be rebellious, I think this." The word "unruly" is used too heavily, the new policy has its loose side, but also has its strict side, light taxation makes the people's livelihood cherish, heavy punishment makes the treacherous generation fearful, it should be to promote self-discipline and self-consciousness, as for the brother said a little disobedient and the heart of resistance, I think it is not so serious, and why should we not go along with it, although the people have limited knowledge, but the simple truth is still understood, since they sincerely support the new policy, they will cherish the income, and make every effort to maintain the new policy, so as to have the desire to protect the family and defend the country from the heart, such people can not only become a good source of soldiers, The war has entered a critical moment, even if the country has to engrave a heavy endowed people, there will be no complaints, if the elder brother does not believe it, in case there is really such a day, the younger brother dares to gamble with the head of the item. ”
Su Ge sighed and said, "I believe this, even if there are a few foolish people, most of the people will speak like you. ”
He Ran said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Brother, this sigh is still for the sake of the country, not the country of the Su family." ”
Sugo glanced at him and sighed again,
"Brother is a person who understands, it's not right to be worried about this matter, there is no new deal, the country may not be there now, what else to talk about the Su family is not the Su family, there is no perfect thing in the world, and the new policy is implemented in the form of the king's order, Baixin is sincerely grateful and loving to Pingjiang, isn't this enough, as for the fact that it is difficult for his heirs to regain power, the elder brother is too worried, one, it's too early to talk about this, two, life in the world is nothing more than the word pleasure, the royal family is highly respected, don't worry about spending, it can be regarded as a fairy day."
Sugo disagreed: "You should have nothing to ask for if everyone can enjoy themselves like you." ”
He Ran wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "Isn't it just a matter of people fighting for a carefree pleasure, then what do you say he wants." ”
Su Ge said without thinking: "The Ming Lord naturally has to do something ambitious, but if he only wants to enjoy himself, he will become a faint king." ”
He Ran snorted disdainfully, "Lord Ming, Lord Ming, and bullshit Lord Ming, what kind of ambition, isn't it just to conquer the Quartet and dominate the world." ”
"Isn't that right?" Sugo asked,
"What's right, the blood is flowing into rivers and mountains, it is nothing more than the false name of a group of people, after unification, the people can enjoy a few days of happiness, and in the end, it is not a beacon smoke everywhere and then it will fall apart, save it, don't want such a Ming Jun." He Ran said a little angry,
Su Ge's face also became unsightly, and he said coldly: "What you said is right, we are trying to harm the people for false fame." ”
He Ran shook his head helplessly, and said: "Brother, although my words are ugly, but if you think about it, if you think about it, looking back at the previous dynasty, there are still few examples, which generation of founding monarchs didn't fight the world under the banner of supporting justice and working for the benefit of the people, but as a result, why were they overthrown later, the system, in the final analysis, it is the malaise of the system, how can there always be a clear lord under this system, a tyrant is enough to destroy the country, how can the king of the country have a good end, that is also the heir of the Su family, Why don't you think about the long term anymore if you make long-term plans for the Su family? ”
Su Ge said unhappily: "You are a big rebel, how can you curse the prince and grandson like this." ”
He Ran did not flinch and said: "Is this a curse for me, do you dare to guarantee that the Su family will have a virtuous lord for generations, do you dare to guarantee that the Su family will not fall for ten thousand years, you pat your chest and tell me." ”
"Then you can't say that."
He Ran sneered and said, "You don't dare to make this guarantee, that is, you know in your heart that sooner or later, the Su family will be cut down and eradicated." ”
"Shut up." Su Ge was really anxious, and drank after patting a few cases,
He Ran blinked and said, "What are you anxious about, you are just a minister of the Su family, but I am the son-in-law of the Su family, when it comes to the distance and relatives of the Su family, can you compare with me, don't I want the Su family to be good." ”
Su Ge was speechless for a moment, and sighed heavily,
He Ran eased his expression and said: "I have to tell you, I am planning for the peace of the Su family for ten thousand years, and further pushing the new policy is the best choice, so that the throne of the Su family will never be subverted, although the royal power will be reduced, but you can always enjoy comfort and respect, as for the hegemony of Wang Tu, you look at it, as long as I have a breath of air, I will never let the royal family have the worry of external humiliation, when I am not there, Yi Guo should have been strong enough to dominate the world, no need to fight, only the new policy can collect the hearts of all the people in the world, Even if they do not rule the world, nations will be forced to learn from our new policies, or their monarchs will be pulled down by their people. ”
After a slight pause, he continued: "There will be no war at that time, the ultimate goal of the new policy is that the people can control the affairs of the court, no people are willing to fight, so they will not agree to invade other countries, I have already told King Feng about this truth, she agrees, brother think about it, you opposed me when the new policy was first implemented, now I understand that it is a wise move, if the elder brother can trust the younger brother, then this time the younger brother continues to push the new policy, you might as well not be in a hurry to oppose it, and then see." ”
Su Ge said helplessly: "The four ministers of the government, the king has already sided with you, I think the king will not go against you, and it is useless for me and Xu Tong to oppose it." ”
He Ran looked at him sincerely and said: "Brother, you know what the younger brother is like, the most important thing I do is of course for the war, but I also really plan for the Su family, you think about it carefully, you may be able to understand my painstaking efforts, speaking of which, I will tell my brother by the way, my next step is to change the appointment and dismissal system of officials below the sixth grade, change it to be elected by the people, report to the king for approval, and give the people the right to supervise officials, once a year, although some officials were elected by the people, but at that time, the chaos was not very formal after allThis time, I want to establish a sound system. ”
Su Ge said lightly: "I heard your venting in the court, can you calm down and listen to me." ”
He Ran sat upright and said, "Brother, please speak, and the younger brother listens quietly." ”
Su Ge pondered for a moment and said, "You have also been an official for many years, but I always feel that you still don't understand the unspeakable rules of officialdom." ”
"What rules." He Ran asked with a smile,
"Use greed, use shortage."
He Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Brother, let's make it clear, lest I make a mistake." ”
Su Ge said: "This can't be humanized to outsiders, but important ministers like you and me should know this way, this is also the monarch's subordinate policy, which refers to the appointment of corrupt officials and officials with behavioral defects, the virtuous brother is a shrewd person, when you know that this is to hold their handle, with the handle in hand, these people will not dare to be disobedient, because the above can use these handles to punish their crimes at any time, as long as they do not do too much, greedy, domineering to the people, the above will not care, but a clean and easy to cause trouble, Not only are they highly respected and have no ghosts in their hearts, but once they make trouble, it will be difficult to clean them up, so there should be no more such officials than defective officials, and they should not be allowed to be in too high positions, and it is enough to leave a few for the people to see. ”
He Ran had a sudden joy on his face, and said: "Gao, I really can't think of this trick without my brother's guidance, occasionally killing a few disobedient corrupt officials can also boost the hearts of the people, hahaha, this way of employing people is simply wonderful." ”
"Although this truth can't be put on the table, let alone let the people know, but it is an excellent strategy to control the subordinates, and those in power in the world will secretly obey it, you, the civil official, are against the sky, not only will the king's power be cut against the law, but also create countless officials who are difficult to control, how can you ensure that they will obey the orders of the court."
He Ran smiled heartfully and said, "They will follow the will of the people, as long as the court does not go against the will of the people, there will be no trouble." ”
Su Ge was a little annoyed and said: "Public opinion, alas, everything is public opinion, if you hold public opinion to the sky, aren't you afraid that one day public opinion will kill you." ”
He Ran smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I firmly believe that the kind people will not do such foolish things, the premise is to let them know the will of the court, so that they will never be easily encouraged, some truths need to be explained to them, some do not, the so-called justice is in the hearts of the people, they know what to do, my hands are full of blood, including the blood of innocents, there will be no fewer people who want to kill me, but I believe that more people want to protect me, the assassination on the streets of Pingcheng has proved this, I am not afraid." , you don't have to be afraid, my brother thinks what I said makes sense, what I should be afraid of is those people who are fish and flesh, just say hello to my brother, and if the following corrupt officials have my brother's cronies, I don't want to hurt my brother's people for this. ”
"It's non-negotiable." Sugo stared at him and asked,
He Ran said sincerely: "It's not that the younger brother wants to be arbitrary, please understand the suffering of the younger brother, if you don't open the battle of Zhao, it's hard to say how far you want to fight, I don't want chaos in the rear." ”
"If you don't want chaos in the rear, you should delay the election and wait until the war is over."
He Ran shook his head and said: "I don't know when this battle will be fought, the situation in the world is even more unpredictable, and it is impossible to say if it lasts for three years, five years, eight years, and ten years. ”
Su Ge smiled noncommittally and said, "It's useless for me to say anything, but this matter will have to wait for Xu Tong to come back and discuss it, he is also a minister of trust, and it is not good not to talk to him." ”
"Looks like my brother still won't help me." He Ran said disappointedly,
The corners of Su Ge's mouth moved, and said: "It's not that I don't help you, it's your ...... way, alas, don't say it, I know that I am not Dazai's talent, I should ask the king to resign when I turn around, the princess is several times higher than me, and I deserve to be Dazai, I will strongly recommend it to the king." ”
