Chapter 132: Bullshit Theory
King Jin? What is he doing at this time?
Shi Wei suddenly had a strong premonition that Zhao Guangyi was probably here to have a "showdown" with his imperial brother.
When the words came to his mouth, Shi Wei had to swallow.
Zhao Kuangyin's eyebrows also flashed a hint of vigilance, and he waved his hand and said, "Announce him in." ”
Shi Wei said: "Since the King of Jin asked to see him, the minister will not disturb His Majesty to talk to the King of Jin, and the minister will retire first." ”
Shi Wei thought that this Zhao family brother must have a private argument, and outsiders like himself should not be present, so he wanted to avoid it.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Shi Aiqing is not an outsider, don't be in a hurry to avoid it, and stay here." ”
Zhao Kuangyin's sentence "not an outsider" shocked Shi Wei's heart.
He vaguely realized that Zhao Kuangyin was leaving her behind, most likely because he wanted to lure him as a helper.
Shi Wei didn't want to clash head-on with the King of Jin, but the timing was so coincidental, the king had a life, how could Shi Wei refuse.
At that moment, he calmed down and only stayed calmly.
With the eunuch's singing, a moment later, Zhao Guangyi limped into the hall step by step.
When Zhao Guangyi saw that Shi Wei was also present, a trace of suspicion obviously flashed in his eyes.
Shi Wei stood up, bowed his head slightly, and saluted the King of Jin without humility or arrogance.
Zhao Guangyi only nodded slightly, then walked past Shi Wei's side, and arched his hand: "Brother courtier, please see the imperial brother." ”
"Third brother, come quickly, come here, come down, sit down." Zhao Kuangyin was very polite to his younger brother.
After Zhao Guangyi sat down, Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Third brother, what kind of wind is blowing you here." ”
"The younger brother has an important matter, and he wants to give some advice to the imperial brother." Zhao Guangyi's expression was very calm.
"What's the matter with the third brother, just say it."
Zhao Guangyi did not speak, but looked at Shi Wei.
Obviously, he didn't want Shi Wei, a political enemy, to be present.
Zhao Guangyi coughed lightly, he was suggesting that the Son of Heaven would take Shi Wei away.
Zhao Kuangyin pretended not to know, and said, "Third brother, didn't you say that there was anything important, then say it." ”
Seeing that the Son of Heaven did not sell his account, a trace of displeasure flashed across Zhao Guangyi's face.
"Since this is the case, the younger brother said bluntly, the younger brother heard that the imperial brother has the intention of moving the capital to Luoyang, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Zhao Guangyi said the purpose of coming here, and it was as Shi Wei expected.
Shi Wei's expression did not reveal his thoughts, and listened to what Zhao Guangyi had to say.
Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "It turns out that the third brother is here for this matter, yes, I do plan to move the capital to Luoyang, third brother, you won't disapprove." ”
Zhao Guangyi's brows condensed slightly, and he said loudly: "Don't dare to deceive the imperial brother, the younger brother really feels that the imperial brother's idea of moving the capital seems to be not too cautious." ”
Zhao Guangyi did not beat around the bush and bluntly objected.
On the dragon seat, Zhao Kuangyin's amiable face gradually became cold.
He took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Luoyang is in the middle of the world, there are eight dangers, and I moved the capital to Luoyang, which is to imitate the story of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so why am I not too cautious." ”
Zhao Guangyi stood up and said loudly: "Brother Huang's ambition, how can the younger brother not know it, but at this time, at that time, the younger brother thinks that Luoyang is no longer suitable for the capital." ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "I am on this tour of the west, one is to pay tribute to the queen mother, and the other is also to inspect Luoyang, I think that although the Luoyang palace is not as prosperous as Bianliang, it has begun to take shape, and it will be repaired after the capital is moved, and I believe it will not be inferior to Bianliang." ”
"Brother Chen is not talking about the city of Luoyang, but the luck of Luoyang." Zhao Guangyi raised his voice, "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tongji Canal has not been repaired for many years, the sediment has piled up, and the number of Cao Yun is less than one million stones a year, how can it support the people of a city, and the army of hundreds of thousands?" ”
Zhao Guangyi's rhetoric is still old-fashioned.
Zhao Kuangyin patiently listened to Zhao Guangyi's reasoning carefully, and then said with a smile: "The third brother's concerns, I have actually already considered it, so I decided to order the repair of the Tongji Canal and restore the luck of Luoyang. ”
Zhao Guangyi sprinkled the debate for a long time, but he gave Zhao Kuangyin a sentence of "repairing the canal" and pushed it back, and he couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
Shi Wei looked at Zhao Guangyi's unhappy expression, but he was secretly smiling in his heart.
Zhao Guangyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "If you build a canal, you will have to requisition a lot of people's power and spend a lot of money. ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Repairing the Tongji Canal will certainly consume people's manpower and material resources, but as long as the capital is moved to Luoyang, according to the danger of mountains and rivers, the harm of redundant troops can be avoided, but in the long run, it saves more money and manpower, which is the main reason for moving the capital to Luoyang." ”
These remarks once again dismissed Zhao Guangyi's so-called arguments.
The face of this King of Jin flashed with a little annoyance at this moment, as if he did not expect the Son of Heaven to be so thoughtful.
Silent.
The temple fell silent.
The two brothers looked at each other, their expressions were flat, but their complicated eyes were engaged in a fierce confrontation.
Shi Wei faintly felt a sense of solemnity.
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Guangyi's expression suddenly became generous, he got up and stepped forward, arched his hand and said: "Luoyang does have the danger of mountains and rivers, but the younger brother thinks that governing the world, in virtue is not in danger, please think twice." ”
"In virtue but not in danger......
Zhao Kuangyin silently recited a sentence, his eyes flashed with surprise, as if he was shocked by the lethality of this sentence.
A good sentence is in virtue but not in danger.
On the surface, this sentence seems to be very in line with the spirit of Confucianism, and since ancient times, emperors have always put a German word on their lips.
In the words of those saints, they always taught the rulers to govern the country with benevolence and virtue.
Although the emperors of the past dynasties ruled the country with Confucianism on the surface, but in fact they governed the people with legalism, none of them openly admitted it.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhao Kuangyin has also preached the rule of benevolence and virtue.
Now Zhao Guangyi moved out of "not in danger in Germany", but he was reprimanding Zhao Kuangyin in a corner, blindly wanting to rely on the danger of mountains and rivers, but ignoring that "benevolence" is the fundamental weapon.
Zhao Kuangyin was dumbfounded all of a sudden.
He couldn't refute it, because if he opposed Zhao Guangyi, he was denying his own policy of governing the country, and he was putting himself on the opposite side of Gu Lai Mingjun.
Even though Zhao Kuangyin is wise and martial, his vision still can't escape the limitations of this era.
Zhao Guangyi's "not in danger in Germany" made Zhao Kuangyin speechless, but Shi Wei felt funny when he heard it.
Looking at the speechless Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Wei was anxious, thinking that Your Majesty, you should talk back, you can't give up because of his words.
Zhao Guangyi saw his brother's appearance, and a hint of pride flashed at the corner of his mouth.
But Zhao Kuangyin quietly set his eyes on Shi Wei, as if seeking his help.
Shi Wei realized the seriousness of the situation, the Son of Heaven had been suppressed by the King of Jin, and if he could not come up with a strong dialectic, then the plan he had painstakingly managed to move the capital might be beaten back to its original form here.
The situation has reached a critical moment, and Shi Wei must take action.
His mind flipped and countless thoughts came to him.
Seeing that Zhao Guangyi was about to speak again, Shi Wei didn't have time to think about it, and with a "snap", he pointed at Zhao Guangyi and shouted: "King Jin, you are so bold, you dare to scold Your Majesty for being a dumb monarch without virtue!" ”
In the main hall, there was a deathly silence for a moment.
The palace maids and eunuchs on the left and right all showed shocked expressions, and even Zhao Kuangyin on the dragon throne was shocked by Shi Wei's actions.
That's the king of Jin, under one person, above ten thousand, even the Son of Heaven has never said a word heavy.
But now, he gave a small medical envoy a public reprimand in front of so many people.
"Crazy, this Shi Imperial Doctor is crazy." Those eunuchs and palace ladies thought so.
"Shi Yuanzhi, I asked you to speak for me, and I didn't let you scold King Jin." Zhao Kuangyin is also secretly saying bad in his heart.
Zhao Guangyi had a gloomy face, and slowly turned around, his eyes sweeping Shi Wei's body like knives.
He stared at Shi Wei for a while, and said coldly word by word: "Doctor Shi, do you know what you were talking about?" ”
Zhao Guangyi's tone and eyes were filled with a chilling sense of oppression.
Shi Wei Zhongjue felt a chill welling up from the soles of his feet, and instinctively secretly felt a little afraid, but he knew very well that now that he was riding a tiger, he must not retreat.
"Shi Wei, Shi Wei, Zhao Guangyi is not a three-headed and six-armed person, isn't he just a cripple, I'm afraid he will do something."
Secretly plucking up courage in his heart, Shi Wei looked excited, and said loudly: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you have ruled the country with benevolence and virtue, and the people of the world have been deeply benefited by Your Majesty's virtue and government. Now, King Jin, you are scolding Your Majesty for only emphasizing danger and not virtue, how can the lower officials not feel angry for Your Majesty. ”
Although Shi Wei scolded Zhao Guangyi, he scolded him "reasonably", which made Zhao Guangyi hate in his heart, but in front of the Son of Heaven, he couldn't attack.
He had to secretly endure and said coldly: "Of course this king knows that His Majesty governs the country with benevolence, and this king's meaning is just to persuade His Majesty to adhere to the national policy of governing the country with benevolence and virtue, and not to change his heart for the so-called danger of mountains and rivers. ”
Hearing this, Shi Wei's mind turned, and he immediately said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin said this, the lower officials are a little confused, there doesn't seem to be any conflict between virtue and danger, why can't they coexist?" ”
"Huh?" This time it was Zhao Guangyi's turn to be stunned.
Seeing this, Shi Wei didn't wait for him to reply, and then said: "Your Majesty said a long time ago, moving the capital to Luoyang, according to the danger of mountains and rivers, is to save the harm of redundant soldiers. And if the harm of redundant soldiers is avoided, the people will not need to exhaust the people's strength to support a large number of soldiers who are not engaged in production. ”
Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly, as if praising Shi for saying well.
Shi Wei continued: "From this point of view, moving the capital to Luoyang is not only to give virtue to the people, but also to make the capital based on the dangers of mountains and rivers, such a good strategy of both worlds, the lower officials really don't understand, why does His Royal Highness the King of Jin have to oppose it?" ”
"You-" Zhao Guangyi looked furious, but he didn't know how to refute.
