Chapter 17: Resignation and Coercion (I)
On the third day of He Ran's reign, the court meeting time had been shortened to less than an hour, and when he left the court, the head of Dazai's mansion greeted him, saying that Dazai invited the military advisor to come to the palace to discuss matters, He Ran nodded with a smile, knowing that Su Ge couldn't stay,
After meeting and serving tea, Su Ge waved his hand and sent the attendants out, he frowned and groaned as if it was difficult to speak,
He Ran smiled: "Is my brother dissatisfied with what my little brother has done recently, if you want to teach me a lesson, I will teach you a lesson, my little brother is thick-skinned, and I am afraid that I won't be able to stand it." ”
Su Ge smiled bitterly and said, "When you were in charge before, you said something first, and it stands to reason that Brother Fool shouldn't disturb you, but ...... Alas, not to mention anything else, your time for the court discussion is too short, the foolish brother is not doubting your talent, you naturally have this ability, but ......, no matter how big your ability is, the foolish brother thinks that there must be a process, if you govern for three years and five years, even after March and May, the government is clean and the people are safe, and there is nothing to discuss in the past, but you ...... You didn't have more than two hours to take over, and you couldn't help but ....... ”
He Ran explained with a smile: "It's not that the younger brother is lazy, it's that they can't finish the assigned affairs for a while, and they should be busy after a while." ”
Su Ge nodded slowly, and said: "I've heard some, well......, brother Xian, it's not wrong to be diligent in government for the people, but it's not appropriate for everything to be decided by the people, listen to the people for everything, what's the use of us officials, some things still have to be decided by us, the people have limited knowledge, and it will be chaotic if they listen to them." ”
He Ran said with a solemn expression: "What the elder brother taught is that the younger brother also knows this reason, so the things that let the people decide are just small things that have a bearing on their vital interests, and the major matters related to the national system will not be decided by the people." ”
Su Ge nodded and said, "Well, I also saw this, but I was worried that you would let it all go in the future, so I reminded you more,"
"Thank you brother, the younger brother will carefully grasp the proportions, hehe, the elder brother understands why the court meeting time is so short, there can be a few major events related to the national system, the elder brother used to be entangled in those small things, let the people decide themselves, and then report the people to deal with it, so that most of the affairs will be reduced, and the government will save the worry of hurting the people by formulating the decree."
Su Ge smiled noncommittally and said: "You and my brother, I will tell you the truth, in fact, I am also worried about this, in the long run, I am worried that it will cause the decline of official authority and the situation that the people are difficult to control, and listening to them in everything will inevitably make it grow rebellious, and if it doesn't go well, it may rise up to resist, your new deal ......." Speaking of this, he shook his head, "Brother Fool admits that the reason why the country of Yi can get rid of the crisis and become strong quickly is the work of the new deal, but the disadvantages of the new deal are also infinitely harmful, and if it goes on like this, the country of Yi will not be the country of the king, although the king ignores the government, but after all, this country belongs to the Su family, and there will be a diligent king among his heirs, but by then there is probably nothing left in the power in his hands, how can you let me go to the king after I die." ”
He Ran lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand and did not speak,
Su Ge said bitterly: "Brother Xian, I don't blame you, you are a genius in the world, it is a wise move to come up with the heart of the new deal to appease the land of Baixin, although the foolish brother complained at the time, but the more he thought about it afterwards, the more he admired your decisiveness and wisdom, compared to the foolish brother and others are just a hundred miles of talent, the virtuous brother can be regarded as a great talent with the world in mind, the new deal has the merit of saving the country and strengthening the country, but now we have to try our best to eliminate its drawbacks, instead of adding fuel to the fire, the foolish brother knows in his heart that he can't get it back if he wants to clean it up, Then let's strictly control it in its current state first, and then slowly collect it ...... later. Seeing He Ran put down the teacup, he stopped,
He Ran looked at him quietly, still not speaking,
Su Ge reluctantly smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, our brothers are not discussing, although the foolish brother is not as good as you, but this heart is good, I also said the previous time, the entire Yi country is spelled out by you, and the king also intends to give way to you, it is said that how you want to govern As long as the king does not object, we should not stop it, and with your current power, if you want to be autocratic, whether the foolish brother Dazai can do it is just a matter of your words, it is precisely because I know that you are not that kind of person, so I have something to say." ”
He Ran couldn't keep his face stiff anymore when he heard him say this, and said with a smile: "Brother, aren't you scolding me, the younger brother is proud of his achievements, but I am not interested in taking advantage of power." ”
His smile eased down, and Su Ge also smiled: "How can I not know this, the virtuous brother's heart is as clear as water, this is the blessing of the king, and it is also the luck of a foolish brother to meet a good brother like you, I know that I am lazy by nature, and I am willing to come out to manage the government is really dedicated to the country and the ......people." ”
He Ran waved his hand and said: "Brother, don't raise me, I am in charge of politics to solve my worries and then I can start a war with Zhao State with peace of mind, not for the country or for the people, and when Yi Guo is strong enough to protect it for decades, the younger brother will immediately return to the hidden Xiangu and no longer ask about military and political affairs, you don't come to me except for drinking." ”
Su Ge pointed at him with his hand and said, "You, you, I really don't know what to say about you." Then he sighed, "Alas, no matter what others say about you, but the foolish brother only admires and admires you, fame and fortune may be just a gesture in others, but you really regard fame and fame as dung, and what is even more rare is that you are so old and have so much power in your hands." ”
"If you praise me again, I should be dizzy, so let's report my inner thoughts to my brother first when I am sober."
Su Ge smiled slightly and said, "You have no selfish intentions, so no matter what you say, the foolish brother will listen quietly and say it." ”
He Ran thought for a moment and said: "The country mentioned by my brother will not be the ......country of the Su family, I don't want to say anything more about this article, I just want to say that it is better to live than to die, it was a helpless move to push the new deal at that time, if it is not like this, it is difficult to say whether the country of Yi can survive until now." ”
Su Ge Zhencheng nodded and said, "I know, I just said the same. ”
He Ran smiled, and then said: "That brother should also know that there is no turning back arrow when opening the bow, this new deal is an arrow shot out, whether it is in a hurry or slowly collected, it will not be recovered, at least the younger brother does not have this ability, anyone who wants to accept the new deal is the enemy of all the people, and it is a self-defeating move." ”
Su Ge frowned, picked up the teacup and put it down again,
He Ran paused for a while and said: "I'm not alarmist, I know what trouble the new deal will cause, the last time I sent troops to Xiping, Mo Ju solemnly warned me, I have to take back the new deal no matter what, the words are self-evident, if we don't accept the new deal, then Kangguo will not be on our side." ”
Sugo sighed sadly,
"He doesn't know the details of the new deal, if it is clear, he will understand that we can't get it back at all, I don't want to explain too much to him, and it's perfunctory."
Su Ge said with a heavy face: "Don't you say that I also know in my heart, looking at the situation of the border people of Zhao State, this new policy will sooner or later make the monarchs of the world sleep unstable, and they will want to get rid of it quickly, which is tantamount to being an enemy of the world."
He Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the biggest trouble caused by the New Deal, but you don't have to worry, I will make the Yi Kingdom strong to the point that they dare not face it before the monarchs of all countries realize the harm of the New Deal. ”
