If a local official is unable to do even the most basic task of distinguishing right from wrong and maintaining local stability, then he is indeed not qualified to continue to sit in that position. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Chu Suiliang agreed with this statement and retreated.
The eldest grandson Wuji was really annoyed in his heart, he had already guessed the trap laid in Du He's words, and he also had a way to counter the trap. But heaven did not obey people's wishes, and he avoided the trap, but the officer who was in the way stupidly stepped on it. made Du He slap him heavily, became arrogant, and also made him lose a great opportunity.
Now seeing Du He talking eloquently, the more he talks, the more people recognize him, the eldest grandson Wuji can't help but be a little anxious, and said in a deep voice: "What Lord Xiao Du said is indeed reasonable, but if you can convince us, you may not be able to convince the people of the world...... Confucius Shengren Yun 'listens to lawsuits, and I Jews too. and shall make it ...... without lawsuits,' the words of the saints shall not be disobeyed......"
Du He felt a big headache, the eldest grandson Wuji, this guy was both annoying and powerful, not only did he move out of the words of the saint at this moment, but also pointed the object directly at the people in the world, making the situation infinitely serious, but he stayed out of the matter, looking worried about the country and the people.
Faced with this situation, Duhe, who had already taken the initiative, also had to act cautiously. In ancient times, when Confucianism was prevalent, Confucius's words have always been sought after like holy oracles, and if you want to deny his words, you must have full evidence, otherwise you will be punished by the vast majority of civil servants in the court.
The eldest grandson Wuji's move has already forced Du He to a dead end.
Because of this sentence, the situation took a turn for the worse.
Du He's thoughts flew in his mind, and he suddenly smiled and said: "What the saint wants in his life is to restore Zhou Li, and hope that the princes of all countries will stop fighting and serve Zhou Jun...... I don't know what the eldest grandson thinks of this? ”
"This ......" The pupils in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji shrank, and he couldn't answer.
A smile appeared on Du He's face, his move was a stroke of inspiration, it was to use his spear to attack his shield.
Li Shimin didn't know if he was teasing his head in a few years, or if he let the door be clamped, and made a rare stupid move, imitating the ancient system and dividing all the meritorious ministers. The eldest grandson Wuji was the one who opposed it the most severely, and at that time, he didn't care about what Confucius was not like, and it was worthless to refute it.
Now he moved out of Confucius to deal with Du He, and Du He pushed the boat down the river, and also moved out of Confucius to fight back.
He smiled and said: "The ideas of the sage are worth emulating, but after all, the sage of Kong is a figure from a thousand years ago, in different environments, using different systems. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the system that did not work may not work now, and the system that could be done then may not be suitable now. These are the words of the eldest grandson, have you forgotten them? ”
Du He said: "The kid thinks that everything must be innovative and dare to innovate. Just like the original two crops of rice, if you don't try it boldly, how will you know what the result will be? Even if it fails, just change it again. Everything in the world needs to be let go and acted to know the outcome. If you don't try it, how do you know if you can do it? What's more, even if this promotion to the status of a lawyer really fails, it will not have much impact on the country. ”
Du He said this, retreated, he said what should be said, as for whether it will succeed or not, everything depends on whether Li Shimin and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have the courage to try.
Li Shimin said at this time: "This matter is harmless, it doesn't hurt to try...... Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”
Li Shimin was an open-minded emperor, and Du He had many ideas in later generations, which others disagreed, but most of Li Shimin was able to understand and accept them. It is for this reason that he will reuse Duhe and handle government affairs in a new way according to his suggestions.
Develop Jiangnan, promote sweet potatoes, open up the Maritime Silk Road, and so on.
The development of Jiangnan and the promotion of sweet potatoes have brought remarkable contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and the development of the Maritime Silk Road has also been eyebrow-raised, the maritime envoys of the Tang Dynasty have successfully arrived in the Malay Peninsula, arrived in Southeast Asian countries, and arrived in India, and also started the handover with Rome, probably more than a year later, the first batch of super-large caravans gathered by Rome, India, Southeast Asian countries, will arrive in Guangzhou, Shanghai, these two southern ports.
The Maritime Silk Road is also about to achieve its intended purpose, and it is conceivable that in the near future, the Maritime Silk Road will become the economic pillar of Datang like the Silk Road on the road.
It can be seen that Du He's unbelievable things have been confirmed in the end, and they have brought huge benefits to Datang.
Now that Du He has gone to such great lengths to speak for the lawyer, Li Shimin still decided to adopt it for the time being, even if he still had some doubts about it. As Duhe said, this is not a war. If it fails, it will not bring much harm to Datang. In that case, what's the harm in giving it a try?
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty persuaded some of Du He, and some of them remained neutral after listening to Du He's debate. Now, with Li Shimin's support, the matter has been decided.
In the end, Li Shimin said loudly: "The eldest grandson Aiqing's "Law and Ceremony" is a collection of the strengths of the previous dynasty, which is wonderful. Xiao Du Aiqing's "Law" is full of creativity, various systems, simple and clear, and also clever. I decided to combine these two books into one, integrate each other's strengths, and serve as the basis for my future governance of the Tang Dynasty. As for the editors, there are naturally two of them, and the bachelors of Hongwenguan are at your disposal to complete the "Tang Law Discussion" as soon as possible. ”
The law book that has been circulated for thousands of years, and the code of the dynasty that shocked China and foreign countries, is about to be interviewed under Li Shimin's order.
Because the identity of the eldest grandson Wuji is even higher than Du He, the editor-in-chief of the book after the book is completed, with the eldest grandson Wuji as the first and Du He as the last, but as long as those who know a little bit know it, it is clear. In this "Tang Law Discussion", the existence of Du He is much better than that of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Because of this, a few years later, Dan Fan edited "Tang Law Shu Yi", and Du He's name was always before the eldest grandson Wuji.
Even Du He himself couldn't imagine that in the next thousand years, he would be like Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", stepping on Zhou Yu's head.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
**********
In the palace of the Tang Dynasty, this smokeless war has just ended.
In the far southwest, the real war began.
Songtsen Gampo hung his helmet in the saddle and let his black, curly hair fall loosely over his shoulders. He looked up at the sky, and the clouds were gathering so fast that even the bravest birds were gone. The wind was strong, sweeping through the rolling hills and shaking the cascading and lush forests. The rustling sound that spread across the mountains grew louder and louder, gradually converging into a tsunami-like loud sound.
This Tibetan Zampu was tall, muscular, and as majestic as a lion. The facial features on an angular face are matched just right, exuding the rough and bold charm of an alien man. It's just that his eyes are as cold as ice, and there is a compelling cold air between his eyebrows.
His brow furrowed, making his handsome face a little gloomy.
Below him, the sound of killing rang out. The two sides of the different camps wield their weapons and blades and fought to the death.
The southwest where they are located is near the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is mountainous, low in the north and high in the south, crisscrossed by hills and ravines, and the environment is very complex. Therefore, unlike the battlefields experienced by the Tang Dynasty, the troops could not form a neat and dense phalanx at all, and this was the place where small units could give full play to their strengths.
In such a terrain, it is the wisest choice to attack with small troops.
The Tibetan army was divided into more than 20 columns and constantly launched an offensive against their enemy, the Xiangxiong Kingdom.
At the beginning, Duhe's plan to lead the water to the east made Songtsen Gampo, the overlord of the southwest, suffer.
In accordance with Duhe's plan, they launched a conquest against Nanzhao.
The strength of Nanzhao is far inferior to that of Tibet, but Nanzhao is like the Nanban in the Qin and Han dynasties, where the people are arrogant and brave, and the terrain is extremely bad, even if there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it is difficult to play in the mountains and forests.
Songtsen Gampo tried all the strategies and methods to achieve the desired results, and there were winners and losers for each other, and Nanzhao fought a defeat for both sides.
After all, Songtsen Gampo was not an ordinary person, and soon realized that attacking Nanzhao was definitely not a clever strategy, so he changed his method and made peace with Nanzhao.
Songtsen Gampo not only knows how to use troops and fight, but also has a leading role in internal affairs and foreign affairs. Grasping the weakness of Nanzhao in the mountainous area and inconvenient transportation, he took advantage of mutually beneficial terms such as trade to form an alliance with Nanzhao and concentrate on the development of Tibet and recuperate.
For a long time, Songtsen Gampo had a question in his heart, Lu Dongzan was his teacher, his Zhuge Liang of Tubo, how could he persuade him to attack Nanzhao. It wasn't until the appearance of Hou Junji that all doubts were lifted.
All of this is Datang, and it is all Du He's ghost.
Songtsen Gampo was extremely angry, but he was helpless. Datang is so strong, even if he has the ambition to compete, he has no power to compete, so he can only expand his own strength first. After more than a year of development, on this day, Songtsen Gampo finally absolutely went to war against his old enemy, the only one in the southwest that could compete with Tibet.
The country of Xiangxiong has a long history, and its population and strength are not inferior to those of Tibet.
However, under the wise leadership of Songtsen Gampo, Tubo is united, the civil servants are not greedy, and the generals are not afraid. The king of the Xiangxiong Kingdom is old and frail, and several of his sons are inactive. The only one who can get his hands on it, and it's a woman.
Few of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had real talent and learning, and Songtsen Gampo had absolute confidence that he could defeat the Zhangxiong Kingdom.
However, the war was not as he expected, because of the relationship between Xiangxiong and the Tang Dynasty, the equipment has improved, and the history is long, and the soldiers and the people have a rare cohesion.
In this head-to-head confrontation, the strength shown by the Xiangxiong State is not inferior to that of Tibet. The soldiers encountered between the dense trees and shrubs, and the fight was extremely fierce.
In less than half an hour, 3,800 soldiers disappeared into this cannibalistic mountain forest.
At this moment, there was a sudden chaos in the rear of Zhangxiong Kingdom, and a triumphant smile appeared on Songtsen Gampo's face.
