Chapter 22 Cheng Yu who advocates changing the law

"It seems that what Mrs. Hu Guang said is true! The emperor really wants to rebuild the law! Otherwise, how could he be the first to ask about it and name it? ”

The minister in the main hall of Deyang thought so.

They wouldn't think that this was Liu Hong's young surname, and gave Cheng Yu a name on a whim.

The ministers, who have gone through everything in the two months since Liu Hong's pro-government, are afraid of Liu Hong in their hearts, because what Liu Hong has shown is not as weak as before he ascended the throne.

It's just like two people, it was those people who despised Liu Hong at the beginning, but now? It's not the death of the dead, the exile of exile, the demotion of the degraded officials.

At this moment, Liu Hong opened his mouth and said, "Zhongde, I see that your article proposes that governing the country should be governed first, and the officials should be governed first, and the law should be governed first, I wonder if you can say it in detail?" ”

Cheng Yu was stunned, didn't he say that the palace exam was written by the emperor, and all the candidates wrote the answers together? Why do you only ask yourself now?

But it's not bad that the emperor values himself so much. It's better to say the ambition in your heart at this time, which can be regarded as a wish.

So Cheng Yu organized the language and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this matter should start from the origin of Legalism, the ideological pioneers of Legalism can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, but the actual founders are Li Kui, Shang Ying, Shen Dao, Shen Buxian, etc. ”

"And the one who gathered the Legalist ideas and formed them into a system that can be passed on to future generations is Han Feizi at the end of the Warring States Period."

"Legalism said that it is a school, it is better to say that it is the product of the changes of the times, Zhou Shi to govern the country with etiquette, Zhou Li is a model of etiquette, Zhou Shi line feudal system, slave owners rampant, 'Li' is the political system and moral norms ruled by slave owners and aristocrats."

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhou Li gradually lost its original power, and a number of reformers appeared among the slave owners and aristocrats, such as Guan Zhong of Qi State, Guo Yan of Jin State, and Zi Chuan of Zheng State. They issued decrees and penal letters, reformed the Tianfu system, and became the ideological pioneers of the Legalist school during the Warring States Period, which is the origin of Legalism. ”

Liu Hong seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything, and then asked, "Oh? I don't know what Zhongde said about the origin of Legalism, and what is the understanding of my question? ”

Cheng Yu continued, "Your Majesty, listen to the grass people. At the beginning of the Warring States period, feudalism was established in various vassal states one after another, and the need to comprehensively reform the slavery system gave rise to the Legalist school of the most primitive family. The thinkers of this school of thought have their own characteristics in theory and in terms of policies, but they all advocate the rule of "law". So as to make the countries strong, so that the Great Zhou exists in name only. ”

From this, it can be seen that things are not static, only those that adapt to the present are the way to strengthen the country, and now the Han Dynasty has not changed for a hundred years. Law-first change. ”

In the end, Cheng Yu shouted loudly, and then kowtowed.

Liu Hong was shocked, he didn't expect that Cheng Yu, who was stricter than the law in history, turned out to be a person who wanted to change the law.

Changing the law is easier said than done! What happened after the Shang Dynasty reform? The car cracked and died, and there was no corpse.

Why? Hasn't it touched the interests of conservative forces, how many changes have been made in later generations? Almost every dynasty has it, but what about the result? Most ended in failure. Those who advocate changing the law will end up even more miserable.

And now that Cheng Yu actually said the change on the spot, how can Liu Hong protect him?

Originally, Liu Hong was the first to choose Cheng Yu to answer, one was because of his historical name, one was that he was indeed very talented, and he was also the talent Liu Hong needed, and another important reason was that Liu Hong felt that he would still be a man.

But now it has become like this, it is really difficult for Liu Hong to ride a tiger.

Where did Liu Hong know how the commoners felt when they saw the emperor in ancient times, and where did he know the feelings of those who had not met Huai Cai, Cheng Yu was afraid! I'm afraid that once I walk out of this Deyang main hall, I will never come back.

Because Cheng Yu knows how offensive his ideas are, even if the emperor wants to protect him, he may not be able to live, so he wants to abandon his previous temperament and other ideas in this situation, and just want to tell the current emperor about his ambitions.

Liu Hong frowned and thought about countermeasures, but he scolded secretly in his heart, he believed too much in the celebrities in history, and the reason why those celebrities became celebrities was not because they had experienced a lot of things, but now this celebrity has not experienced so much! How is it possible to do what the Hereafter did?

But there is no regret medicine in the world, although he has a headache, Liu Hong still has to keep Cheng Yu, because Cheng Yu's performance moved Liu Hong, and Liu Hong really needs a pioneer to change the law now.

At this moment, an official with a full face stood up and said, "Presumptuous, even bewitching the public with evil words, trying to deceive the Holy Hearing, it is really a sin that deserves death, come here!" Dragged out and chopped. ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, because Liu Hong didn't remember this official in the court at all, to be precise, a eunuch, and now this person was fighting among the senior members of the court with a rank of two thousand stones.

As soon as Li Hao saw Liu Hong's expression, he knew that the emperor didn't know this person, so he quietly said in Liu Hong's ear, "This person is Hou Lan, the servant of Changle." ”

Liu Hong knew who this person was when he heard this, Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, had three major palaces: Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, and Jianzhang Palace. Liu Bang lived in Changle Palace when he was emperor, and later emperors moved to Weiyang Palace, and Changle became the queen mother's bedroom.

In the Empress Dowager's Changle Palace, imitating the central secretaries, there are officials such as Changle Weiwei, Changle Taifu, Changle Shaofu, Changle Sima and Changle Household General.

At this time, the Taifu of Changle was equivalent to the middle standing attendant, and the middle permanent attendant was an official with a rank of two thousand stones, and it was normal for the Hou Lanzhan to be among the officials of two thousand stones.

Immediately, a smile flashed in Liu Hong's eyes, and he was worried about how to rescue Cheng Yu! After all, it's wrong to say anything, and this is not the time to turn against the family and the clan.

So Liu Hong pretended to be puzzled and said, "Who are you?" ”

Hou Lan is impressed by the lack of guards to respond to him! As soon as he heard Liu Hong's question, he instantly smiled on his face and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is Hou Lan, the servant of Changle." ”

Liu Hong's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "Hmph, the servant of Changle is a subordinate official of the Queen Mother, and he has come to the court to do something." ”

The smile on Hou Lan's face froze, and he said that Liu Hong went to visit the Empress Dowager Dou who put himself on the throne, but he wiped out his family, during which Liu Hong was very respectful, even though the Empress Dowager Dou had been sneering at herself.

But Liu Hong didn't care at all, after all, he borrowed Zhang Rang's hand to kill the whole family.

But Liu Hong's performance made Hou Lan misunderstand, he thought that Liu Hong had softened and bowed to the Queen Mother, and his domineering words came again.

So Hou Lan came to participate in this palace test court meeting, he wanted to let the courtiers know that he Hou Lan was back.

However, now Liu Hong's question made Hou Lan stunned, and he began to wonder if he thought too well, and then the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

So Hou Lan smiled again on his face, and said flatteringly, "It's small, it's wrong, and the small one will retire." ”

Liu Hong shouted when he heard this, "Hou Lan, where are you in this Deyang main hall?" You can come when you want, and you can go when you want. Where is Tingwei? ”

Hearing this, Yuan Feng hurriedly stood up and said, "The minister is here." ”

Liu Hong sat on the dragon chair and pointed at Hou Landao, "What crime did this person commit?" ”

Yuan Feng's face changed, Hou Lan was a close confidant of the Queen Mother, and Hou Lan relied on the power of the Queen Mother to do evil. It is also known to the courtiers, but because of the Queen Mother, the courtiers dare not speak out, until Liu Hong is in power, and Hou Lan sees that the Queen Mother is weak, so he reins in.

Now let Yuan Feng say what crime Hou Lan committed, Yuan Feng is wrong, not wrong. said that, offending the Queen Mother, although she has no real power, it is also a little influential.

If you don't say it, you will offend the emperor, so you will be unlucky! Yuan Feng had no doubt about this.
