Chapter 62 Centralization is not beautiful

Feng Jing died, Lu Shou also died, with eighty martyrs committed suicide in the fire, standing in the county town of Yanmen County for hundreds of years, it was burned in this epic fire, their death shook the hearts of everyone in the border area, and also ignited the flame of revenge of the soldiers and civilians in the border area.

The banner of King Zuo Xian was gone, perhaps to get the desired result, and he returned north with the 30,000 elite cavalry like wolves and tigers, leaving behind the ruined walls of Yanmen County and the people who were mourning and suffering.

Every Han who escaped death was immersed in pain, and at this time, Yanmen County did not have the joy after escaping from death, only resentment, anger and endless unwillingness.

Chang'an City finally received the news that the Yanmen Gate was broken, and when he heard the emergency report at the border gate, the Son of Heaven fainted on the spot, and the chamberlain hurriedly carried the Son of Heaven back to the palace, and the ministers were frightened and overwhelmed.

"Since the Maudunu chieftain sent troops in July and August every year is the Huns' practice, this time the Huns often brought the troops in February, hit Yanmen County by surprise, the county border pass reported the Xiongnu feint beacon, the Huns became cunning?"

"It must be the ghost of the eunuch Zhongxing, we want to take revenge!"

"Revenge? How to get revenge? The envoy of King Zuo Xian has entered the pass, with ten good horses, five thousand cattle and sheep as an apology, and sent a few Huns who committed crimes into Chang'an City, and people came to apologize prepared, we have no way at all! ”

"Phew! The means of beating beggars are also used on the head of the Han family, those Hu people don't have a good thing, and that bullshit messenger was driven back to the desert without even passing the mouth of Guanzhong! ”

"Just tear your face and fight with the Huns, and you'll see it! Can we still be afraid of them? ”

"It's lightweight, Emperor Taizu Gao is so wise and powerful, if he doesn't surround Bai Mountain, he will almost not be able to come back."

"You have to blame that goshawk Zhidu, the good ones want to fight a counterattack on the side, kill Di 800 and lose 1,000 themselves, before sending the good news to Huangquan, and also put Feng Taishou's life into it, and after dying for so long, he didn't let the people of Yangshi live in peace, no wonder Chang'an City was full of lights when he died."

Cao Shi stepped into the prince's palace and the gossip disappeared in an instant, and Liu Che's urgent shout came from the prince's palace: "How can this be reasonable, the Huns are simply too deceitful!" If I am the Son of Heaven, I will definitely fight to the death with the Huns and solve this scourge once and for all! ”

The people echoed and scolded the Huns for their treachery regardless of their in-laws, as the so-called good at the top and at the bottom must be very bad, and the people who were in the eyes of the Tai** were clamoring for the main battle, and they couldn't wait to break the dragon city tomorrow to capture the single Yu, so as to realize their loyalty and bravery.

Han Yan glanced at it and said, "Doctor Taizhong, why don't you say a word?" ”

Liu Che's eyes then turned around, and he didn't understand Cao Shi's silence, these days he has been studying the war books and battle strategies, and he has made a lot of hard work on the marching and arranging the battle chess, and he is also a great strategist in the court, and the only one who has reservations is the Pingyang Marquis in front of him, and Cao Shi, the doctor of Taizhong.

Of course, Cao Shi was not very satisfied, or he was not very satisfied with the top and bottom of Tai**, ignoring Han Yan's accusation and said: "Feng Jing, Emperor Taizongwen was a pawn, and later changed to the imperial historian to participate in the prime minister's attack on Jia Yi, and then was demoted to Shanggu County as the county guard, and he stayed in the border county for thirty years.

With Feng Taishou's thirty years of experience in border affairs, as well as his familiarity with Yanmen County, he can control it with ease, and the Son of Heaven arranged it carefully, but such a perfect arrangement still can't stop the iron hooves of the Huns, Feng Taishou resisted more than 20,000 Hun troops with 800 remnants of the army for fifteen days, and was forced to set fire to the city and martyred the country when the food was exhausted, what did His Royal Highness the Prince read from it? ”

Liu Che didn't know how to answer.

Cao Shi said again: "The Xiongnu are cruel and shameless, there is no doubt about it, revenge is the meaning of the question, but the border county passively defends the situation of the Xiongnu entering the Kou, the main root cause is that the national strength is not strong, the military strength is insufficient, the border pass Fengsui is complete, the camp is strong, and the iron hooves of the Huns cannot be stopped, His Royal Highness thinks that the situation at this moment should be broken?" ”

"Of course, it is to gather hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers to defeat the Huns!"

"Does Your Highness think that the minister can compare to my family's Taigong (Cao Shen), Marquis Zhou Bo, and Marquis Yingyin?"

"Can't!"

"Then His Royal Highness is higher than Taizu, who is higher than the emperor?"

Liu Che's face was expressionless: "I'm ashamed of myself." ”

"Emperor Taizu Gao's soldiers surrounded Baishan Mountain, 320,000 troops were surrounded on the mountain for seven days and seven nights, the grain and grass were cut off and isolated and helpless, although the military ministers were not as good as Mao Dun Shanyu, but His Royal Highness and the ministers were not as good as Taizu and Zhu Wei, if the Huns could not be defeated, it was a big defeat, which had nothing to do with the concentration of power and the Huns, and the national strength was related to whether the military was strong or not."

The prince's face changed slightly, and there was a little more unhappiness in his tone: "In this way, it is useless for the Son of Heaven to monopolize power?" ”

Cao Shi deliberately didn't look at his expression: "Your Highness has studied "On the Death of Qin" for a few months, you should know that Qin was destroyed in the heart of the world, and the world is not the world as Meng Ke said, even if the first emperor who has the supreme monopoly on power, he still needs the work of the bureaucracy, the general needs the soldiers to fight the battlefield, and the people want the people to take out the only remaining rations to feed the army, the bureaucrats and the supreme emperor, so Qin Shi Huang knew that the empire could not hold on, so he stopped the Afang Palace and toured the six countries to the east to appease the subjects.

As soon as Zulong (Yingzheng) died, the crown prince Fusu was punished, and Qin II easily killed heroes and slaughtered famous generals with the system of centralized rule, and continued to build Afang Palace with arrogance and luxury, not only to revive the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and those with different aspirations, but also to disappoint the people of Guanzhong, the foundation of the Great Qin Empire, the generals who led the troops to fight were very disappointed, and the ministers who were officials in the court were also disappointed, and all strata of the entire empire were disappointed, and the empire had no confidence in the future of the country.

Centralized rule is different from the feudal monarch system, the centralized emperor did not allow Yi Yin to exile Taijia, Liuqing killed the Jin monarch's behavior, so only self-abandonment let the Great Qin Empire completely ruined, Qin II Hu Hai and Qin III were killed, announcing to the world that the Great Qin Empire was collectively abandoned by the empire, and the final result was the death of Qin II and Qin III, the fall of the imperial family and the destruction of the Great Qin Empire, so although there are many reasons for the demise of the Great Qin Empire, the real root cause is excessive centralization! ”

At that moment, it was as if the whole world had become unusually quiet.

The pins in the prince's hall could be heard, and the attendants pinched their throats and stared with bated breath, for fear that their panting would be louder and attract unnecessary attention.

Sang Hongyang stood in it, and his excellent performance and proficient mental arithmetic skills in the past few months were appreciated by the prince, making him enter the core of the Tai** place to stand beside the prince, although at this moment he didn't even have the power to speak, he could only silently watch everyone's every move.

Han Yan couldn't help but say sourly: "Doctor Taizhong is worthy of being the chief of the princes, and his speech is really different......

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

The prince and Cao Shi invariably reprimanded, Han Yan was stared at by a gaze like fire and ice, and he took half a step back in fear, his cheeks turned red and purple for a while, and he was as pale as paper for a while, and he was ashamed and annoyed in his heart, but he didn't even dare to say half a word.

Liu Che was in no mood to deal with the embarrassment of his pet Han Yan, and his angry gaze locked on the main target: "Doctor Taizhong is going to sue me for the death of Great Qin in centralized power?" You also told me that the three families were divided, why did you agree with the behavior of the six secretaries of the Jin State to kill the monarch today? ”

Cao Shi said with a smile: "People eat grains and are born with seven emotions and six desires, the king is born with the impulse to centralize power, but the monarch's centralization of power will be opposed by the original ministerial system, in order to centralize power, it is inevitable to raise minions to kill important ministers, monarchs and ministers are opposed to the country into turmoil, and the minions themselves are a kind of political power, the Jin State after Quwo Daiyi, the Qing clan acts as the Jin monarch to clear the minions of the Gong clan, but when it comes to the end, the Qing clan's power swells the shares of the three Jin, The lessons of history tell us that over-reliance on one side will not lead to national strength, but will only lead to endless disasters. ”

While the crown prince was slowly reminiscing, Han Yan couldn't help but mock: "Doctor Taizhong still doesn't give up, he wants to defend the princes and princes, if the princes and kings are so useful, then why is there still a rebellion in the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu?" ”

"With your wisdom, you can't understand the cause and effect of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, I actually forgot that you are just the grandson of Gong Gaohou, how can you know the real situation."

Han Yan hated being exposed the most, and immediately became angry: "Doctor Taizhong actually insulted me!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince administers justice for me! ”

Liu Che smiled meaningfully: "I probably understand, the prince and the Qing clan maintain a trend of checks and balances, the princes and kings maintain checks and balances, and the king takes the initiative to restrain the impulse of centralization and maintain a relatively balanced model of the three parties, which sounds very novel, but you have selfish intentions." ”

"Yes! Everyone has **, and the minister does have a little selfishness, which is not worth making a fuss about. ”

The prince seems to be still surprised by his straightforwardness, and it is not a trivial matter to be questioned about selfishness in these years, and it is said that it is a loss of personal morality, and it is said that this person is often greedy and can be dismissed.

Cao Shi smiled slightly: "**Everyone is not worth making a fuss about, the desireless is rotten wood and stubborn stone, but**There is a difference between good and bad, first the country is rich and the people are strong and defeated the Huns and prospered the Han, followed by the family business does not decline to serve the country, these two and the family and the country are all beneficial and harmless**! The princes are the top of the military merits, and if the princes do not fall, millions of military heroes will not fall, and the ministers do not want to see the princes and princes collapse at the same time, and the solid foundation established since Emperor Taizu Gao has collapsed, which is the minister's little selfishness. ”

ps: Teaching Liu Che is a long process, so as to avoid him spending more than 5o years tossing the country into dislocations before he understands the truth that "it turns out that Huang Lao Wuwei is more reliable".
