After listening to Liu Zhang's words, Mi Zhen and Zhen Rong both felt that he was a little unkind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSince Dayu and Xia Qi passed on the throne from father to son, and started the world, all dynasties have been ascended to heaven by one person. Let's just say that Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, and once swore an oath to kill horses, if the surname Liu is not the king, and if he is not a great merit, he can not be a marquis, and he still let his family have a place in the court, but Liu Zhang is not even ready to be crowned king by his own children, and they have to have the ability to be officials, which is completely inconsistent with the ideas of the ancients, and the second daughter can't understand it at all.

The hall fell silent, and the second daughter looked at Liu Zhang, the resentment on her face was about to form a shadow, like a demon with teeth and claws. Seeing this, Liu Zhang couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "I just said that if you want to be an official, you have to have the ability, and I didn't say that you don't care about them, why do you want to look like this!" If outsiders don't know, they think I've done a great evil! ”

"Husband, your words are too profound, I don't understand!" Mi Zhen looked at Liu Zhang, and the resentment on her face was even worse, she didn't want her child to be born, and she had to work hard by herself, even if she didn't show any signs of pregnancy at all!

"Alas..."Liu Zhang sighed and asked: "As the saying goes: you can't be rich for three generations. Do you know why? ”

"This..."Mi Zhen shook her head and said: "I often hear people say, but I haven't studied it deeply, I don't know!" ”

"The rich second generation may be better, because they have seen the efforts of their fathers and can still be self-disciplined, but the third generation has only learned the enjoyment of the second generation, and does not know that wealth is not easy to come by. Easy to get something that will never be cherished! Liu Zhang shrugged his shoulders helplessly, although the matter of being rich for three generations can be changed through education, but any education is not as good as reality, and efforts are worth cherishing!

What's more, Dahan's education system has not yet been formed, and Liu Zhang doesn't know how to educate children! If you let those so-called Confucians teach children, they are either nerds or gentlemen, and one or two out of ten children can become talents, which is worth celebrating! No, some emperors have forty or fifty children, but there are only a handful of truly wise and martial princes!

"Husband, they are all your own children, how can you give up?" Speaking of which, the two daughters are from a big family, how can they not understand. In fact, the arrangement of the family for the children of the clan is also like Liu Zhang's idea. Some people who have the ability and ability are in charge of the family business or go out to be officials, and those who don't have the ability to do some simple things, and some idiots are raised by the family, but the latter two people have no status in the family.

"Zhen'er, Rong'er, it's not that I'm ruthless. For the sake of the Liu family, for the sake of the Han people, I have to do this! But do you really think I'm willing to let my children suffer? Liu Zhang smiled, looking at the second daughter with affection in his eyes.

"You're letting us do business for the future?" Mi Zhen and Zhen Rong are both smart women, looking at the smile on Liu Zhang's face, the second daughter suddenly realized!

"That's right!" Liu Zhang smiled: "As a father, I can't leave the rights to the children, but I can let them have no worries about food and clothing!" I let you start so many businesses, and in the future, children who have no ability to be officials will arrange for them to manage shops and businesses. I don't want my children to become children who don't know the suffering of the people. If this is the case, I would rather entrust the Han people to someone worthy of trust, rather than let my children corrupt the world! ”

"Husband, you..." Although Zhen Rong and Mi Zhen don't understand national affairs, they can also understand Liu Zhang's greatness. Except for the three emperors and five emperors, or the emperor who was forced to abdicate, how could anyone want to hand over the world to outsiders! With Liu Zhang's ability, no one will be able to force him to abdicate, so there is only Zen Rang! The emperor who is willing to concede the world is either an idiot or a holy lord of the Ming monarch!

"Madame, don't be so surprised!" Looking at the second daughter's surprised expression, Liu Zhang laughed and said: "Not only that, when the world is unified, I will hand over the general plan to Kong Ming and them, as for you and me, I will find a good place to live in seclusion, listen to the birdsong of Linquan in the morning, and sing and dance at night." ”

"Aren't you going to hand over the world to Tuo'er?" Mi Zhen looked at Liu Zhang dumbfounded, as if she didn't believe it.

"Then it depends on Tuo'er's ability!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If he is in line with the heir in my mind, it is naturally no problem to hand over the world to him." If he doesn't, I have a plan. ”

"What are your plans?" Women's curiosity has always been very heavy, and Zhen Rong and Mi Zhen are no exception, the two of them stared at Liu Zhang without blinking with a pair of beautiful big eyes.

"Don't speak!" Liu Zhang scratched the noses of the two and said, "Now is not the time to study this matter, it would be bad if my plan was spread!" ”

"The house slaves and servants in the family are well managed by the sisters, is the husband still afraid that someone will chew the root of the tongue?" Seeing Liu Zhang's sale, the second daughter was a little dissatisfied.

"Just in case!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If the words just now are spread, it will inspire the children's self-motivation, and if I even say my plan, they will resent me as a father!" However, I believe that Tuo'er will not let me down, as long as he has the ability, I can rest assured that I will hand over the world to him, I am afraid that he can't be as ruthless as me, and he can't let the big man be strong forever! ”

"The father's expectation, the child will definitely be able to do it!" Liu Tuo walked into the hall, his face full of determination. He had already come and heard Liu Zhang's words, and he understood Liu Zhang's thoughts, so he walked into the hall after Liu Zhang finished speaking.

"I believe you can do it, and I believe in my son even more!" Liu Zhang patted Liu Tuo on the shoulder, he already knew that Liu Tuo was at the door, and he also deliberately said it to Liu Tuo, so he wanted Liu Tuo to look far!

In all dynasties, all princes have set their sights on the throne and their brothers, so that it is not uncommon to kill their brothers and brothers, but they have never considered factors outside the family. Therefore, there are not many dynasties that really decline because of the succession, and most of the dynasties are destroyed because of the rebellion of the people! One of the biggest problems is that the emperor does not know the suffering of the people!

"Thank you father for your trust!" Liu Tuo was also very excited, how could he get Liu Zhang's trust with 10,000 words of praise from others.

Liu Zhang said: "You are my son, I don't trust you, who do you trust?" Do things well, learn from Kong Ming carefully, the entire Han Dynasty, if it comes to governing the country, no one can compare with Kong Ming! ”

Liu Tuodao: "Father, in fact, you don't have to be so mean to the clan!" It is said that the feudal system was the foundation of the long-term stability of the imperial dynasty. Although the kings of the Han Dynasty often rebelled, the Han Dynasty stood for four hundred years. The Qin Dynasty implemented the county system, and it perished after only fifteen years! ”

"Fifteen years of the Qin Dynasty?" Liu Zhang said: "I'd rather have fifteen years of the Qin Dynasty than four hundred years of the Han Dynasty!" Because in the fifteen years of the Qin Dynasty, the people wanted to rebel but no one dared to rebel, when would the Han Dynasty be truly peaceful in the four hundred years? Silly boy, if you want the country to last for a long time, you have to keep pace with the times, especially the law! Only by restraining behavior by law and then educating by morality can the country achieve long-term peace and stability. Saying that half of the treatise rules the world, it's all bullshit nonsense! Remember, if you want to govern a country well, you don't rely on any one company's words, but on wise leadership and sacrifice! ”

"Sacrifice?" Liu Tuo didn't understand a little, in fact, not everyone could understand Liu Zhang's words.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "In fact, in the eyes of my father, the emperor is a profession, but the power of this profession is too great, so that the people who sit on it begin to be greedy!" When Qin Shi Huang became the emperor, he forgot the suffering of the people, and when Han Gaozu sat on the throne, he handed over the world to his son, regardless of whether his son was competent or not! Let's talk about Liu Ying, Emperor Huiwen of the Han Dynasty, he is obviously a cowardly child, but he wants him to provoke the hope of the Han Dynasty and the people. Obviously, it's stupid! If I were Liu Bang, I would definitely sacrifice Liu Ying and let other children succeed to the throne, or use other methods to ensure the stability of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the sacrifice I am talking about is not to let Liu Ying die, but to find a suitable career for him. For example, to study knowledge, or to educate the people! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhang sighed in his heart. No matter how powerful the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch is, he can't stop someone from demolishing the stage behind him, and these people who dismantle the stage are often the emperor's relatives. In Liu Zhang's heart, he admires Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang the most, but these two Ming gentlemen have stains on their children.

Let's just say Li Shimin, he is strict with himself and lenient with others. A good friend broke the law, and he personally asked for a pardon, but he didn't directly order a pardon, but he was a little indulgent to his son! For example, Li Shimin's crown prince Li Chengqian once stole cattle and slaughtered them for meat. In the law of the Tang Dynasty, the crime of slaughtering cattle without permission is very serious, but Li Shimin only reprimanded Li Chengqian, but did not deal with it according to law, just because Li Chengqian is the crown prince and the son of Li Shimin, and he may inherit the throne in the future! But Li Shimin didn't think about it, isn't it a violation of the law to do so?

Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang, he has been very strict in dealing with corruption and perversion of the law all his life, but when it comes to his son, even if he kills someone, or even kills an official, it is just a reprimand. The emperor took the lead in breaking the law, so why should the people of the world obey the law? The dignity of the law is not an empty word, Shang Ying once said, we want the rule of law, not the rule of man. What is the rule of law? It is to punish crimes according to the law and law, and do not mix human feelings!

Everyone is responsible for their own actions, even the prince, but the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, in the eyes of the emperor, it is just an empty word. In this case, how can the authority of the law be protected? Liu Zhang just wants to get rid of the privileged class, and even the royal family can't escape the punishment of the law, how can those meritorious children violate the law? Wealth does not necessarily require land and privileges, and if you have money, you will have a good life. If you have money, you can't live a good life, thinking about breaking the law and discipline all day long, and harming the people, this kind of person must not be kept, even if it is your own son. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as righteous annihilation!

"Got it!" Liu Tuo smiled and asked, "What if no one among the heirs can inherit the throne?" ”

"I won't tell you now!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If you can inherit my aspirations and career, when I am ready to retire, I will tell you what to do if you don't have outstanding heirs!" ”

"Retirement?" Liu Tuo asked with some confusion: "Father, what is retirement?" ”

"It's about achieving fame and finding a place to retire!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "A person who is too old is inevitably confused, and I am not ready to work hard for the Han Dynasty for the rest of my life!" Besides, if I don't retire and work until I'm 80 years old, you're almost 60, so it's better to pass on the throne directly to my grandson! ”

"Father laughed!" Liu Tuodao: "With my father's ability, let alone working until I am eighty, even if I work until I am one hundred years old, I will not be confused!" ”

"Less sycophants! Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, being cautious, and walking on thin ice can govern a country well, and you can't be sloppy at all! Seeing that Liu Tuo was thoughtful, Liu Zhang didn't want to continue preaching, so he asked with a smile: "What is the matter with your kid looking for me?" ”

Liu Tuo replied: "Father, it's not early, my mother asked me to invite you to dinner, and we talked for so long, my mother must have been in a hurry..."

"Then don't make them wait, let's go!" Pulling up Liu Tuo and taking his second daughter, Liu Zhang strode towards the back house... Although he didn't want his words to get out, what Liu Zhang said was still well known, and the culprits were Mi Zhen and Zhen Rong, they didn't mean to go against Liu Zhang's intentions, but wanted Liu Zhang's important ministers to persuade Liu Zhang to change his original intention. But the second daughter didn't expect that Liu Zhang's ministers would also be convinced!

Hearing Liu Zhang's words, some people who thought they had merit and even were proud of their merits were very ashamed, and they immediately restrained their families so as not to violate the law. Those who have already broken the law also come to Yousi in person, or surrender accompanied by their family members, because Liu Zhang said that everyone is responsible for their own actions!

The law and order in the six states is clean, there is no rampant privileged class, and the people who violate the law are petty theft at most. Under the vigorous crackdown, Liu Zhang's rule can be described as not leaving the road behind and not closing the door at night. Of course, for those who violate the law and discipline and commit crimes, except for the most vicious, Liu Zhang did not use particularly cruel means.

In Liu Zhang's mind, law enforcement has always been based on education, supplemented by punishment. He eliminated the harsh punishment and corporal punishment in the Qin Law, and let the lawbreakers be reformed through labor! Originally, Liu Zhang had been letting the captives build roads, reclaim land, and participate in some construction, and those who broke the law were also forced by the government to do the same work as the captives, but the treatment was much better.

Those who send their relatives to surrender are relieved to hear that their relatives do not have to suffer from flesh and skin, but only work harder. No family member of even the most heinous prisoner wants to see him mutilated, with his hands and feet broken! Of course, there are also many officials who feel that this is too cheap for those prisoners and recommend that the sentences be increased.

Liu Zhang does not think that strict punishment is a good medicine for the root cause of crime, in his opinion, the high crime rate of the Han Dynasty is entirely because the people do not have enough food and clothing. He believed that as long as the people's lives got better and better, the Han Dynasty would become more and more prosperous. When the time comes, as long as the kindest Han people have a bite to eat, who is willing to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers? The first procedure of Chang'an's reform, Liu Zhang decided to start with the law...
