"The minister admires Confucianism very much, especially the unification of the Ram School, the minister remembers that he once read through the "Three Hundred Poems" and saw a poem called "Beishan", presumably His Majesty Xià has also heard it." Cao Shi slowly recited the poem "Beishan".

Only then did the Son of Heaven suddenly realize that "Three Hundred Poems" was one of the six classics written by Confucius, and the scholars of the Huang Lao Taoist family would not read the Confucian classics, but Cao Shi read it and used the allusions in it to prove that he was not a pure disciple of the Huang Lao School.

Cao Shi did not know the thoughts of the Son of Heaven, and explained step by step: "Pu Tianxia is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, since ancient times, the wishes of the people of the world, the princes of the world are all under the banner of Zhou Tianzi is the original spirit of unification, this minister deeply agrees, when today is the territory of the Han Taizu with a knife and a gun, the princes and kings are the descendants of Taizu, the princes are the heroes of Taizu, and the princes have no right to govern the country and no military power, what they have is the white horse oath of the Danshu Iron Deed, Compared with the aristocratic ministers of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the princes of the Han family are dependent on the Son of Heaven and are closely related to the dynasty, and the princes of the Han Dynasty prosper, and the princes of the Han Dynasty die! ”

There was silence in the conservatory hall, except for the sound of kettles from the stove in the distance.

If you want the peace and security of the world, you can't build princes and have less power.

Once upon a time, when Jia Yi proposed the "Public Security Policy", he sprinkled thousands of words, when the Son of Heaven was still a young prince, at that time the age of the Son of Heaven was about the same as that of the prince Liu Che, he still remembered that Jia Yi was free and swaying in a chic figure, it was at that time that the prince Liu Qi, who received Huang Lao's education since childhood, had some untraceable good feelings towards Confucianism.

Gradually, the figure of Jia Yi and the figure of Cao Shi in his youth gradually coincided, the former was lonely and self-conscious, and always had the pride unique to talented people, but just after the easy break, many times Jia Yi's figure was desolate and helpless, and the latter was modest and cautious, and only for a moment would reveal that proud look.

At first glance, it seems very similar, savoring the personality traits of the two people, the tone tends to be opposite, and the temperament is also diametrically opposed, similar to the categorical determination of the two when they make a conclusion, as if the truth is always in their hands.

After entering the age of rebellion, the Son of Heaven was not interested in the lonely figure, he never believed that the truth existed, only believed that his hands could complete the unfinished business of his father, and cut the feudal lords and counties of Daxing County to pass the world by the order of the Son of Heaven, Jia Yi was just a poor worm who failed, and it was an unforgivable crime to give advice to Liu Yi, the king of Liang.

The greenhouse hall is still silent, the Son of Heaven is holding the "Theory of the Death of Qin" thoughtfully, the quality of the system is not a family can be decided, but the past history will never deceive people, Tong Yaoli often sings about the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but it is precisely the terrifying corporal punishment inherited from ancient times in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, cutting off feet and hands and gouging out eyes and noses at every turn, but it has not provoked even a peasant uprising, but the Great Qin Empire has produced a generation of faint monarchs and slanderers and perished immediately.

It doesn't make sense to talk about what to lose benevolence and righteousness and destroy the country, some of the monarchs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were faint tyrants, at most one monarch died or exiled a monarch, and the people of the Spring and Autumn States were neither stupid nor stupid, and they did not abandon the country because of the faint monarch, because people were still full of hope for the country and still loved the monarch's family from the bottom of their hearts.

During the Warring States Period, the northern countries defended the Xiongnu, and half of the Seven Kingdoms had their own Great Wall, and they had never heard of the border people of Zhao State suffering from conscription, or the morale of the border army was not high, and the soldiers were tired, on the contrary, after the death of Meng Tian, the Great Wall Legion was not high, and the morale of the Great Wall Army was not high, and Wang Li with 100,000 Great Wall Legions was defeated by Xiang Yu by Xiang Yu just in a hurry.

Perhaps the root of this change lies in the authoritarian empire, or there is another unknown reason that the Son of Heaven is not sure.

"According to what you mean, great unification should be good, so why is centralization bad?"

Cao Shi replied: "The minister still takes the tyranny of Qin as an example, Qin Shi Huang practiced the county system, so that the military merit system that stimulates morale and improves national identity and love in the war collapses, and the military merit lord is the main composition of the grassroots officers of the Qin army, when the grassroots officers lose their former glory and do not support the emperor, the remnants of the six countries in the Kwantung region are not grateful to Qin Shi Huang's conquest, and the grassroots officers of the Qin army gradually lose their original status and privileges after the collapse of the military merit, so the Qin Empire's love and gratitude to the emperor from Guandong to Guanzhong are very weak, Under the imperial system, the hundred officials were nothing more than slaves sent and replaced by the emperor at will.

If the king is not virtuous or has the power of the ministers and eunuchs, the bureaucrats will tremble and walk on thin ice, and it is difficult for the people to love themselves for a temporary bureaucrat appointed by the Son of Heaven, when there is a strict contradiction in any link of the empire that cannot be resolved, the emperor must pay the price of destruction for the dictatorship, and when the empire falls, the bureaucrats of the centralized emperor can take refuge in the new Huang Ding without any burden, because they are just a group of slaves, and the identity of the slaves does not change, so they do not have to care who is the master, because property and power will never have anything to do with them, The same will happen to the common people, the old royal family will disappear and a new royal family will naturally appear, and people will just change their family and country name to continue their lives. ”

The Son of Heaven understood that Cao Shi was attacking the non-military merit knight and Nasu Baijue, and further said that he was strongly dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven's foreign relative Enze Marquis, and even put forward dissatisfied opinions on cutting the feudal domain and attacking the princes and kings, and vaguely pointed out that the mutual restraint system composed of the emperor, the princes and the princes was more suitable for the Han Empire, and the blind weakening of the imperial family was to sow the seeds of disaster for the demise of the dictatorship, and the military merit group that deposed the princes made the military system disappointed and angry.

When he told the ins and outs of the collapse of Emperor Qin's ** meritorious master, the attention of the Son of Heaven increased significantly.

In the era of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Ying changed the law and the rise of Great Qin, and in the era of King Qin Zhao, there were two non-military merits, the first was Sima mistakenly attacked Wei, Wei was defeated and sacrificed Anyi to retreat to a corner of Daliang, King Qin Zhao recruited Hedong people to give the title to show appeasement, the second time was the Battle of Changping, King Qin Zhao in order to boost morale, gave Hanoi the title of prince and recruited men over the age of fifteen to rush to Changping.

These two knighthoods were expedient measures in wartime, and the bad impact was not great, but after all, it opened a precedent for non-military merit knighthoods, and this case was really endless troubles as soon as it was opened, with one having two, three or even millions.

Sure enough, not long after, the plague broke out in the fourth year of the reign of King Qin, and the Qin State ordered the people to donate 1ooo stone to give the first grade, which once again opened the precedent of Nasu Baijue, this measure dealt a heavy blow to the military merit system, and the Qin soldiers who were born and died for the Great Qin became meaningless, and their proud relatives and families lost their honor in the past, which opened the beginning of the collapse of the military merit.

After more than 20 years, Qin Shi Huang was worried about the uproar in the world in order to build a large number of civil engineering and Li Mountain Mausoleums, and ordered the head of the household in the world to give a knight a level to buy people's hearts.

Originally, the status of the grass-roots officers of the Qin army, who were the main body of military merit, changed, and they borrowed money to buy weapons and dry food to join the army to fight in order to obtain rewards, but when the unstoppable flood of military meritorious, the rewards became less and less until there were none, and the grass-roots officers of the Qin army who owed public debts and could not repay them were also punished to Lishan to repair the mausoleum, and the torture of cutting off their limbs and noses was used if they made a slight mistake.

At that time, the system of exempting the military meritorious lords promised by the Qin filial piety had completely failed, and the owners of the military meritorious lords had a resentment towards the emperor, so that when the violent Qin was destroyed, there was no father and old folks in the hometown of the three Qin who worked hard for the royal family with the surname Win, and they would rather watch the Great Qin Empire fall than make a move.

As a result of the predecessors and descendants, Daqin suddenly rose in the military merit, and suddenly died in the military merit, and the success was also Xiao He defeated Xiao He.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty has repeatedly given the people of the world a first-class civil lord, and then used Nasu Baijue to absorb the wealth of Haoqiang, although each has its own reasons for governing and is not messing around, but after all, it is constantly attacking the enthusiasm of the grassroots officers of the Han army, the rich can be Nasu Baijue, and the Son of Heaven is happy to be able to seal the world's people's first-class rank, then the officers are desperate to seek military merits It is redundant, and it is understandable that morale has fallen and even resentment has accumulated in the army.

The liehou is the top layer of the military merit system, at the top of the twentieth level of military merit, the non-merit is a solemn oath made by Han Taizu to pray to the sky, it is not a very simple and brainless expediency, let alone duplicity and hypocrisy, Emperor Wen of Han attacked the liehou and the military merit lord because he himself was not in the right position, and the son of heaven who was supported by the liehou was afraid of the former benefactor, worried that he would be abolished at any time and support a new son of heaven.

When the Son of Heaven strikes the princes becomes inertia, it will not be far from the end of the military merit as the foundation.

Once again, the Conservatory fell silent.

This silence gave people a sense of suffocation, and the problem that the Son of Heaven had never thought of was in front of him, so that he felt caught off guard, he had not thought about it so long in the first place when he chose to fight the liehou.

He felt that maybe he had really done something wrong.

"I'm afraid my body is ......"

The Son of Heaven sighed: "Have you also appeared?" That's right, too! I'm afraid everyone in Chang'an City knows it! My body won't last long. ”

"The minister dares to say a word, His Majesty should think about the good name behind him, Taizu Taizong Zhuyu is in front, hasn't His Majesty ever thought of entering the temple to enjoy the sacrifice of incense for eternity?"

The tired middle-aged Tianzi's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of surprise and incredulity.

ps:Some book friends are very disgusted with the protagonist's attack on the centralization and weakening of the emperor.,Please take your own time [Lost Marquis] Almost wipe out the liehous.,The protagonist's opposition to centralization is to be responsible for himself.,Don't object to it sooner or later.,The liehous in the middle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are like Zhou Yafu in the Tingwei prison.,It's just a lamb to be slaughtered.。

The fall of the Western Han Dynasty has nothing to do with unification, but has to do with the over-expansion of imperial power, the princes and kings were pushed stupid by the Tui En Order, and the princes and military merit lords were completely finished after the loss of the marquis, so the princes and princes of the Western Han Dynasty watched Wang Mang usurp the throne.
