Of course, Wang Yu is real.

Being an emperor is a beautiful job, but it's actually very boring.

That's right, when the emperor can leave a name for future generations, you can count it carefully, in addition to the so-called 'Ming Jun' who was whitewashed by the pigtail play in the Tatar Qing Dynasty, how many emperors in China have enjoyed a good reputation in the past few thousand years?

The industrious Ming Taizu left countless infamy in later generations; Ming Chengzu, who is eloquent, also did not reap any benefits; As for the image of Ming Wuzong Zhengde, which is already very vague, it is needless to mention, a rather groundbreaking and courageous emperor has become synonymous with faint monarchs in later generations. Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who opened up his territory, was regarded as a brutal and unscrupulous tyrant in the eyes of later generations, just like Qin Shi Huang.

It was the Sima father and son who usurped the throne and seized power; Tang Taizong, who killed his brother and imprisoned his father; the promiscuous Tang Ming Emperor; The Tatar Qing emperors, who brutally suppressed internally and groveled externally, had a good reputation in later generations. Because they are very good at using power to trade with scholars, they can exchange for the whitewashing of the historians, so that future generations will bow and worship.

Wang Yu didn't like the art of power, he didn't know how to use it himself, and he didn't want his children and grandchildren to specialize in it, so he didn't care at all about the reputation that came from being an emperor.

If the power trick is not good, it will be even worse, there are many puppet emperors in Chinese history, thinking that their children and grandchildren were manipulated by the puppets at the beginning, but they can only swallow their anger, Wang Yu is even less enthusiastic about being the emperor.

However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and this matter is not something that he does not want to.

After Xu Shu returned from Hedong, he mentioned in secret conversations, including Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, and Bai Bo's generals, who asked him this question in their own ways in private.

Wait until today Wang Xiu and others will say it again. Wang Yu was surprised to find that not only in the army, but also in the shogunate, there was a similar undercurrent.

It is conceivable that if he doesn't take countermeasures in time and let this undercurrent surge, after the next big victory, maybe he will stage a drama like a group standing up and the yellow robe is added. This alone is not terrible, the Qingzhou army's slide in the direction of ordinary warlords is a big problem. Especially in terms of power.

What is Quanjutsu?

Wang Yu's understanding is to analyze people's hearts, weigh the pros and cons, and calculate the means and routines of their own people. Wang Yu has never advocated this, but revolves around the center of whether to be the emperor or not. There was already such a tendency within the shogunate, especially the questions raised by Wang Xiu.

Wang Yu felt that the biggest tragedy in Huaxia in his previous life was to develop the power technique to the peak. Although this knowledge is broad and profound, and many people strive for it, it does not contribute to the progress of society.

Think about it, in a country where the proportion of officials accounts for 23 percent of the total population, the administrative inefficiency is reversed. The reason why this strange phenomenon arises is because officials spend their days thinking about their own people, and few people really do their work.

If the problem of governing the head of power cannot be changed, whether he is the emperor or not. No amount of new technology that will be introduced in later generations, nor how perfect the political and legal system will be established, will not be able to save China from thousands of generations.

At most, like the founding monarchs in history, they began to rise a little. When the second and third generations passed down, they soon languished.

The power is all consumed and poured inside. Can you still dominate the world? Cao Cao is the best reference and lesson. If it weren't for the fact that he was pondering how to usurp the throne in his later years, how could he have even defeated the Central Plains, but he couldn't do anything about Xichuan and Jiangdong?

As Wang Yu said, what he wants is a strong man who will be passed down for generations, not a new Qi who does not change the soup.

The hall was quiet, only the slightly heavy breathing of the ministers echoed, and a needle dropped would be very harsh.

After a long time, a childish and clear voice sounded: "The hussar general's mind is really admirable. However, did the general ever think that if these words spread out, someone would hold the Son of Heaven hostage in the future, and Qiao ordered the general, how should the general deal with himself? Dong Zhuo has never done this, just because he thinks that you are interested in the world, but you can ...... in the future."

Zhuge Liang didn't want to admit it, but there was indeed a moment when he was suppressed by Wang Yu's majestic strength. The imperial industry of the dynasty, when it is said to be released, is the same as sweeping the world and achieving hegemony. How many heroes in ancient and modern times, how many can see through this step and firmly lock the door on the threshold?

Relying on the spirit of not admitting defeat and the self-confidence in his heart, he reluctantly restrained his mind and raised questions. But even he didn't notice that the meaning of his questioning was much lighter than before, as if from the perspective of his staff, he was helping the lord to make suggestions and fill in the gaps.

However, his question made a lot of sense.

Wang Yu has always professed to be a loyal servant, but all the princes have done the same, and his behavior is inconspicuous. Dong Zhuo will not be bored with himself, and use the Son of Heaven as a pretext to harass him.

This kind of thing of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is also very technical. The Son of Heaven was held hostage, and his prestige had already dropped a lot, and if he had nothing to do, he would get a holy decree and be rejected, and over time, the remaining prestige of the Son of Heaven would no longer exist.

The emperor's decree of the Ming Dynasty is like this, in the opening of the country, the emperor's decree is the decree, and whoever dares to disobey will wait to be cleaned up. Later, when there was a cabinet and a vote of scholars, the emperor's decree was not good. Ministers will not be punished for their disobedience, but will be glorified for their disobedience.

If Dong Zhuo thinks that he will sweep everything with a holy decree, then he will wait for the Son of Heaven to turn into waste paper.

In fact, when Dong Zhuo was besieged by the Kwantung princes, he used the holy decree as a big killing weapon, but the holy decree was resisted, not to mention, if there was no Wang Yu to disrupt the situation, the five envoys he sent would have ended up in different places.

The princes are loyal to the Han family on the surface, but no one is stupid, will they know that there is a problem with the holy decree and it is not good for them, but they still obey it?

The best way to coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes is to push the boat along the river. For example, in history, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought fiercely in Hebei, and finally fought a stalemate, no one could overwhelm anyone, Dong Zhuo's holy decree passed, the two families took advantage of the situation to stop the army, the prestige of the Son of Heaven on the surface increased, and the two princes also stopped a senseless fight, which was a win-win.

However, this is the law when facing false loyal ministers, and if Wang Yu's previous words are spread and used as the basic criterion for the actions of the Qingzhou army, things will be different.

Since he claims to be a loyal minister, he should maintain respect for the holy decree, and once he resists the decree, he will slap himself in the face once. Over time, Wang Yu's reputation that he had easily accumulated was over.

Dong Zhuo is not a stupid person, he will not fail to see this, for Qingzhou, the most threatening enemy, he should not hesitate to use the biggest killing weapon and fight to defeat both.

As for taking the Son of Heaven over, Wang Yu missed an opportunity in Luoyang, and this operation to rescue Bai Bo cut off the last hope of Qingzhou to compete for the Son of Heaven.

No matter how strong the army is, it is so far away, it is beyond the reach of the whip.

"This general is a hussar general who was personally enshrined by today's son, the champion Hou, and has the qualifications to patrol the sky on behalf of the emperor and recruit non-ministers!"

Wang Yu arched his hand to the west and replied loudly: "The Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and the will is in the hands of the ministers, even if the general does not obey the will, how can it damage the prestige of the general?" At least, the military and civilians under the command of this general will not have any doubts about this. In that case, what is there to worry about? ”

Zhuge Liang's train of thought began to get confused.

Wang Yu's words are very simple, and the meaning is also very clear, which can be summed up as follows: first, he is not the emperor, but must be loyal to the Han; second, he, a loyal minister, does not want the Son of Heaven; Third, he did not accept the will of the Son of Heaven because the Son of Heaven had given him a decree with a wide range of applications, as long as he did not obey the order, he could do anything related to him, no different from the emperor......

To sum up these things, it can be summed up as follows: Wang Yu wants to start a new stove outside the center, but he is still nominally a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and he has no disrespect for the Son of Heaven. To put it further in white, it means that Wang Yu wants to exercise the rights of the emperor, not the title of the emperor.

It's complicated and it's simple.

Zhuge Liang was limited to his age, and his thinking was a little chaotic for a while. But all the ministers in Qingzhou are all old rivers and lakes, especially Jia Xu and Tian Feng, as soon as they heard Wang Yu's words, their eyes lit up.

This practice of only taking benefits and ignoring the name is in line with Wang Yu's consistent style. is not called the emperor, but he can also let go of his hands and feet, which is more convenient than holding the Son of Heaven in his hands.

Even if it's Dong Zhuo, when he wants the holy decree, he has to go to the palace, so he has to let the emperor stamp it, right? Wang Yu's side is much simpler, patrolling on behalf of the sky, it is the same as the Son of Heaven, as long as Wang Yu says it, it can be used as a holy decree, and it will not be like Dong Zhuo, who will become infamous.

The powerful ministers who are close at hand, or the powerful ministers who are outside, which one will the Son of Heaven have a better view? Of course, it's a long-range attack.

The ministers bowed their heads one after another, and they knew it in their hearts.

Wang Xiu asked tentatively: "So, lord, is the matter of the era name ......?"

"Let's set it as 'Kaiyuan'." Wang Yu thought about it and found a name from his memory.

"Kaiyuan...... Tongbao? Wang Xiu repeated it in his mouth several times, his eyes gradually brightened, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Kaiyuan is the meaning of opening a new era, and the name of the year can also be very appropriate, as a good wish, and it can be consistent with the full implementation of the new policy in Qingzhou, which is really appropriate.

"In the future, the government will decide on the overall strategic direction with the shogunate, and each government will formulate the details of the decree, and then announce it to the people, and after receiving feedback, it will be revised and improved, and finally the completed document will be submitted to the shogun for review, and after the shogun confirms it, he will issue an edict on behalf of the emperor. After the implementation, it can also continue to revise and enhance the ......"

Wang Yu announced the model of the government decree that he had been thinking about.

Of course, he will not rush to practice democracy and engage in some kind of gimmicks such as elections, which is unrealistic. However, he believes that government affairs should not be as rigid as before, let alone allow officials to ponder power tricks all day long, or things that harm the public and private interests.

In the end, he chose a relatively flexible system that was constantly changing. He doesn't know what will turn out in the end, but at least for now, the officials in Qingzhou can devote all their energy to practice.

This is his style, as long as it is affordable, not in vain.
