“…… The most important thing is that we must change a concept, this world is not the emperor's alone, and the social state does not belong to the emperor alone; The emperor is not the owner of the world, but only the leader, the leader! ”

"...... you" including Li Longji, the crown prince Li Heng who was invited by Sun Liu, and more than a dozen ministers of civil and military affairs of the Tang Dynasty all widened their eyes at this time, and after a while, Li Longji said loudly: "You are rebellious!" ”

What Xiao Quzhi is saying now, in fact, even what he has been thinking for a long time, he and Li Qi have not discussed with each other, which has caused such a big reaction.

Of course, Xiao Qubing will not say all his thoughts and all his ideas in advance. Many theories and propositions, even if they are proved to be incomparably correct in later generations, are fallacious if they are not in line with reality in the present world, or if they are in line with reality but do not have the corresponding execution power.

The most typical example is a suspected traverser - Wang Mang.

As a lesson from the past, Xiao Quzhi naturally will not learn from Wang Mang, and he now says a general proposition, which is to try, that is, to take preventive vaccinations, and see the reaction first.

At present, it seems that the reaction is a bit intense, but perhaps because the words are not clear, Xiao Quzhi decided to explain the reason first and smooth out the logic.

He glanced at Li Qi, very pious and excited, Xiao Quzhi smiled and said: "Why did Your Majesty react so violently, the minister's words are for the good of the emperor and for the good of the Tang Dynasty!"

Your Majesty, you think, and the ministers think carefully, the emperor is rich in the world, and the whole world is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, all the things in the world. Including land. Including real estate. Even many people's lives, in some theories, belong to the emperor.

But the emperor is only one person, can he really hold all the land in the world in his hands? Can he really put people to death at will? For example, thousands of miles away, the Tang Dynasty soldiers conquered a country, can the emperor really be able to put this land newly included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, like a piece of treasure and a pearl. In your own pocket?

Obviously not!

Therefore, since the emperor only occupies a name, but in fact cannot really do it, then why not give up this false name in exchange for more practical benefits? ”

Li Longji didn't speak for a while, and Xi Xun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had already taken refuge in Xiao Quai's illness, asked very cooperatively: "What are the actual benefits, the benefits of this, please try to talk about it." ”

Xiao Quzhi said: "First of all, the first obvious benefit is that it can encourage people in the world to create more wealth. If we announce. The world is the land that everyone owns. Property and personal lives are all protected by the Tang Dynasty court in accordance with the law - the Tang Emperor and the court will not actually lose a slight, because anyway, the emperor actually can't really possess these and wantonly plunder them.

In this way, property and lives are protected by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone will think, as long as they don't break the law, no matter how much wealth they create, they won't be robbed, as long as they don't commit adultery, no one can punish them, everyone is very relieved, so everyone doesn't work hard, create more wealth, and make their lives better? ”

Da Xixun said with a smile: "But in fact, for the vast majority of people, ninety-eight people of a hundred races, their wealth and lives have also been protected, and no one will rob them at will?" ”

"Having said that, after all, there are still a few people who will be robbed, and they have not been determined by the law, and they always feel uneasy in their hearts, and they always feel that this world is not their own, and they will not take the initiative to protect the world without the consciousness of the master."

Xiao Qu's ill voice slowly sounded: "The following is the second benefit, with the name that the world is shared by everyone in the world, it will make people have a sense of master, for example, the emperor was the emperor before, then there is a problem in the world, the rebellion of the ministers and thieves, the invasion of foreign enemies, etc., in the eyes of most people, they will think that this is the emperor's business, this is two people fighting for the world, what does this have to do with me?" A lot of people will be indifferent.

But after having the consciousness of the master, the people of the world will think that this is a world that endangers me, and they will share the same hatred with the emperor, take the initiative to help the emperor resist rebellion and foreign invasion, and take the initiative to maintain the emperor's rule!

The emperor has not lost anything, he still has the supreme right, the greatest benefit, just gave the people of the world a name, a guarantee, can make the people of the world return to their hearts, why not do it?

Going back to the co-governance of monarchs and ministers, what was before? In the past, the emperor was willing to rule together with the monarch and the minister, so that the monarch and the minister could govern together, such as the Taizong period, such as the Kaiyuan period; But if the emperor is unwilling to rule together with the monarch and the ministers, the ministers can only advise, and if they do not listen to the ministers, there is no way to do it, and they can only watch the government deteriorate little by little.

How so? It is because nominally, the emperor alone belongs to this world, just like someone wants to burn his own house, and others can only persuade him, but he cannot stop it.

Now it is different, the world is the people of the world, and the minister has the name to co-govern with the emperor and the ministers, instead of relying on the emperor's gift to have the right to co-govern as before, I have the name to write the rule of the monarch and the minister into the law, and pass it on from generation to generation!

In addition, the country has gained more benefits, with this name and guarantee, it can mobilize the enthusiasm of the Tang Dynasty for foreign expansion, before it was to fight for the emperor, and the harvest was the emperor's reward, and now it is the Tang Dynasty, fighting for itself, and reaping its own interests;

Moreover, it can also make the economy better, and make everyone love the country of Datang more, instead of loving their own clan more like before, all people will have more sense of identity with Datang, and Datang will also have greater cohesion! ”

Xiao Qu's illness came to an abrupt end, because he found that mosquito coils had begun to appear in the eyes of many people, including Li Longji, and they were at a loss, only Da Xixun looked like he had gained, and Li Qi had bright eyes and wanted to speak but could only endure it.

After a moment of silence, Li Longji said: "This is your ideal, what you advocate, the way to make the Tang Dynasty an immortal dynasty and pass it on from generation to generation?"

Let's talk about it. It is to limit the power of the monarch. But the monarchy is divinely granted. Since ancient times, if the emperor is at fault, the heavens will also send down signs as a warning.

The co-governance of monarchy is naturally very good, but what if everything is disputed? The emperor is the Son of Heaven, but he can't make up his mind in the end and let the ministers fight back and forth. In the end, won't the world be chaotic? ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled slightly, and said in his heart to fight with me, I have a complete set of theoretical knowledge, whether it is the people of the later generations of flower farmers ~ the main ~ set ~ middle ~ system, or the three ~ right ~ division ~ establishment in the West, as well as their origins, advantages and disadvantages, I have more detailed information in my laptop, and I can just move out the content of Yicheng, which is enough to make you dizzy.

"The minister also agreed with the divine right of the king. That's why the minister tried to make Li Yong the Son of Heaven, but Dong Zhongshu's set of celestial and human induction theories is completely bullshit. Dong Zhongshu is just a mortal. These are all made up by him, and the minister, in every aspect, is a hundred times stronger than him!

For example, the cause of the locust plague has long been explained very clearly by the Datang Post News, which is all natural laws, and has nothing to do with whether the emperor did anything wrong, and it doesn't make sense logically. ”

Xiao Quzhi glanced at everyone: "As for the problem that there will be disputes, then everything will come according to the law, the emperor still has the highest rights compared to all ministers, but most things, the emperor can't decide at once, but must be discussed."

And how can it be messed up? The meaning of the minister is just that the co-governance of the monarch and the minister must be compulsory, may I ask Your Majesty, the co-governance of the monarch and the minister during the Zhenguan period, the government can be chaotic, and the Kaiyuan period can be chaotic? ”

"You ......" Li Longji's face turned slightly red, and he was speechless for a while, Li Longji was not stupid, he completely understood, that is, he gave up a false name that he couldn't actually do, in exchange for the recognition of Datang by the people of the world. In this way, it can indeed make the courtiers and the people love the country more, and it seems that the Li regime can indeed be more loved and passed down from generation to generation.

But having said that, before this change, the whole world belonged to the emperor, for example, all the land, although the emperor could not have it all exclusively, but as long as the emperor wanted a piece of land one day, the people on that land had to be obediently sacrificed;

But after the change, I can't think about it like this, and it's always uncomfortable to lose such a large piece of imperial power; No matter how much there is the co-governance of the monarch and the ministers, in the past, the emperor wanted to co-govern and co-govern, and he was willful if he wanted to, but in the future, he can no longer be capricious!

Although this Xiao Qu's illness is said to be for the good of Li Tang's imperial power, and I can't be the emperor anymore, I always feel very unhappy in my heart!

Everyone was puzzled, the truth seemed to be this truth, but they always felt that it was not so right. In short, it has long been said that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and there is nothing wrong with being rich in the world; King Lanling's method, this set of theories seems to be beneficial to the ministers and the people of the world, and the current situation is not something they can discuss, so they simply don't speak.

Xiao Quzhi bowed his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's mind has shown to Your Majesty that the minister's heart can show the sun and the moon, and the heart and mind are just to make Datang strong all the time." Ministers and ministers' wives, children and offspring, can live happily in such a powerful country forever. Can Your Majesty's doubts be dispelled? ”

Li Longji reacted at this moment and returned to the reality in front of him - Xiao Quzhi was leading troops to force the palace, he sighed and said: "I believe that you have no intention of usurping now, but have you ever thought about it, will you make a mess of the world if you do this?" Furthermore, have you ever thought about how difficult it will be for you to do these things? Do you firmly believe that what you do will definitely make Datang become what you think? ”

Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi smiled at each other, and said with a little excitement: "Because I love this country deeply, I love the people of this land deeply, and I love this Han civilization that has been inherited for thousands of years; Because since I read and read, my master (motherland, elders, teachers) has educated me to be such a person.

I firmly believe that Datang will definitely become what I want, no matter how great the difficulties are, I will do what I want, although I still have no regrets. ”

Li Longji nodded slightly, glanced at Xiao Quai, Xiao Quai, but saw his slightly emotional face just now, but at this moment, his two eyes suddenly released a compelling light, and his gaze was as sharp as substance, making people dare not look at each other, and his heart was also shocked.

This Xiao Qubing not only has full ideals, but also thunderous means, decisive killing, and will never be soft, this is a master who kills from the sea of corpses and blood.

Li Longji's last eyes fell on the crown prince Li Heng, who looked twenty years older than him, the pale-haired prince, although his face was solemn at the moment, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were as bright as they had never been, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart - this stupid boy, do you really think that Xiao Qubing will hand over the power to you?

This country will be handed over to King Jianning and Xiao Quai, I hope that this Xiao Quai's heart has not changed, and he can really turn Datang into what he said.

I have been the Son of Heaven for more than forty years, and I have indeed long been tired of politics, as long as the King of Jianning and the King of Lanling do not lack my support, I will simply let it go, just look at this Tang Dynasty, in the hands of the two of you, what will become of it!

Thinking of this, Li Longji was no longer verbose, he looked around at everyone, coughed twice, and said loudly: "I have reigned for forty-two years, tired of political affairs, Yuan Ziheng, wise and wise, prudent and filial piety, talented and civil, swallowing Haiyue, and should be obedient to the people." The artifact of the payment, it is said that it is Yiran, and it is appropriate to order the emperor's throne, and I am called the emperor. The king of Jianning is pure and filial, wise and martial, different from his grandsons, and has made great contributions to the country, and should be the crown prince.

Now that the emperor has been ordered, all major events in the world are decided by the emperor and the crown prince. ”

After saying a word, the handover of the two generations of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty has been completed, and the title of the third generation of emperors has also been decided, after returning to the Zichen Hall to write the edict of Inner Zen and cover the jade seal, Inner Zen officially took effect, together with Xiao Quai's illness Li Qi, more than a dozen civil and military ministers present at the same time bowed to Li Hengshan: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”

So, in Chang'an City, to everyone's surprise, the seventh emperor of the Tang Dynasty was freshly baked, and Li Heng and his personal eunuch Li Jingzhong (Li Fuguo) were trembling with excitement.

After ascending the throne, it was a big reward, Li Heng's sick face was red because of excitement, his eyes were shining, and his voice trembled and began to be crowned, Li Qi was the crown prince, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses; Xiao Qubing was named the king of Yan, and the original position remained unchanged, and he was also named the envoy of Fan Yangping Lu Jiedu, and the envoy of Hebei Province; Yang Guozhong's position was vacant, and Li Heng had no henchmen, so he asked Xiao Qu's meaning of illness, so he named Li Xian as the right minister of Zhongshu Ling; Wei Jiansu is still the left minister, Bai Xin and Yang Nan are released, and they are still the left and right flying dragon envoys; Li Sheng is the general of Yulin......

Li Heng was extremely excited, a group of high-ranking civil and military officials who had kept their official positions were overjoyed, Li Longji and Yang Guifei sat behind, watching all this, and just smiled coldly. (To be continued.) )
