"Your Majesty is cautious!"

"Father!"

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm going to die, what's all the fuss about, Emperor Taizu Gao is such a hero lying in the Changling, the first emperor Taizongwen is a model for the world, and now he is also lying in the Baling, I am about to enter the Yangling, can't I tell a few words of truth?" ”

Queen Wang and Liu Che opened their mouths, the eyes of the Son of Heaven suddenly became much sharper, staring at the kneeling young man with a burning eye, and said slowly: "What you say and do will always be unexpected every time, I want to know if you become the ruling prime minister of the Han family, and the auxiliary government and the country are powerful, what should you do!" Don't disguise it with empty words, I know that you will sit down to this point sooner or later, whether it is ten years or twenty years from now, I will always sit here, I want to know your thoughts in advance, I think with your wisdom should have thought of it. ”

Heart-wrenching words!

Cao Shi trembled, his knees were weak and he almost fell, this is a real heart-wrenching word, if he doesn't say a word right, maybe he will be separated, you have already calculated it in twenty years, so how about going back in thirty years? Fifty years from now? If it becomes 100 years, what will happen 200 years from now?

Could it be that before the Tian family replaced Qi, the doctor of Qi divined that the Tian family had gone through five generations of people and was noble and Zhengqing, and after eight generations, it would be unimaginable to be honorable.

Wouldn't it be his descendants who wanted to usurp the throne when he thought of this, and he suddenly sweated and didn't dare to answer.

The superstitions of the ancients are simply incredible. Even if he tried his best to establish a Tai monotheistic religion, he could not completely eliminate superstitions such as divination, and if the emperor felt that he was a danger, it would not be bad to take his life before he died.

The Son of Heaven sighed. He understood that Cao Shi was very scared, he didn't have to think about what he was afraid of, and he couldn't blame others for thinking too much, it was really his question that was too tricky, if he didn't answer well, he wouldn't be angry, and Liu Che and Queen Wang who were present would not spare him.

He suddenly appeared that the imperial power was such a thing, the authority that he once pridely pride. The hundred officials and ministers who could be frightened were silent, and the faces of the kings and princes trembled like earth. When the matter came, he also scared the optimistic seedlings into not daring to speak.

Catching a glimpse of the expressions of Empress Wang and Crown Prince Liu Che, the Son of Heaven suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, not realizing the terrifying power of the expansion of imperial power, and the power of greed would destroy a qiΔ“. He suddenly felt that the description in the Tai Monotheistic Religion was very thorough, that is, the poisonous flower seed planted by the demon in the human heart, and when the poisonous flower gradually bloomed, the person would degenerate into the first class of the evil demon.

After playing the means of imperial power for so many years, he has long been proficient in all political tricks, for which he used to enjoy the pleasure of power, until this sudden serious illness took away his health, and in the past year, under the brilliance and torture of the illness, he gradually changed the Son of Heaven's views on many things.

Cao Shi's appearance played a very important role in this, as he opened a bright skylight for the Son of Heaven. Seeing the beautiful night sky and stars through that window, it was as if a frog at the bottom of a well had left the fence and suddenly opened his eyes, and he jumped out of his mind one by one if he didn't know what he didn't understand. From then on, it dawned on me that power is such a thing.

It is no wonder that Emperor Taizu Gao took great pains to establish such a complex and sophisticated system, and the complexity of the statutes and the accuracy of administrative control were even stronger than those of the Great Qin Empire.

In the past, the Son of Heaven did not understand the intention of the ancestors, and he felt that this was to keep the balance of terror between the emperor, the princes, and the princes. This balance was very dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven, and he hoped to remove the wire rope and build a bridge to the moat. That way, you don't have to worry about falling and killing yourself.

He also didn't understand what was good about the old Huang faction, a group of mediocre wastes occupied the government and advocated recuperation, death and less life, what is the use of being an official and being so simple, what is the use of being virtuous and talented, before the pre-Qin Dynasty, there was often a virtuous minister who ruled the country, and instantly changed the national strength from a small country to a strong country, and then dominated the world and shocked the Quartet.

I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it.

Because the Huang Lao school is very good at maintaining and repairing the wounds of the existing system, for the future generations of emperors who lack political vision, as long as they have time to wipe off the dust of this system and see where there are problems, it is enough to pick up and fill in the gaps, but it is a pity that Emperor Liu Bang of Taizu Gao died, and entered the era of the Gao Hou Lu Pheasant, and as soon as Lu Pheasant died, the princes killed the Lu family to support Emperor Wen of Han to ascend the throne.

The first emperor is a good emperor, but he doesn't understand Liu Bang's painstaking efforts, since he ascended the throne, he has been constantly working on the system of the Han Empire, and the more he moves, the more unstable the operation of the empire becomes, and it didn't take long for it to pass into the hands of the Son of Heaven.

In layman's terms, if you don't understand the benefits of the political system, you just pretend to be a fool and carefully maintain the system itself, wait for your child to appear an immortal genius, and push the original system to a higher level.

The Son of Heaven is really worried, he is very afraid that the Han Empire will decline in a few more generations, and at that time, the emergence of the genius of the Heavenly Vertical will not be a life-saving straw, but a cup of poisonous wine that will kill people, and the higher the talent of the genius, the more dangerous it is.

Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven said worriedly: "You have told a lot of lessons about the death of Qin, I think your analysis of the early Han Dynasty is the most thorough, Emperor Taizu Gao was well-intentioned at the beginning of the creation, I intend to adopt your opinions to stabilize the military merit system, try to reduce the number of times the knight is awarded, the knight shall not pass the seventh level of the public doctor, the reward of the military merit lord is back to the standard of the early Han Dynasty, the military merit lord field system has collapsed so badly, and it can no longer be allowed to continue to collapse." ”

"Father, are you alright?"

The Son of Heaven sat up reluctantly on the armrests with the support of his wife and son: "I'm fine, don't mistake me for being confused." I know it very well! Half of the military merit system collapsed, and this half of the land accounted for 20% of the world's cultivated land. The princes, princes, nobles, and merchants were divided together. The part of the military meritorious lords who lost their fields were also reduced to commoners after several generations, and now they are reduced to ploughing between the fields and ridges like the people of Guizhou!

If it is allowed to deteriorate, within twenty years, the military merits will shrink by more than half, and how can the remaining small number of good family members maintain the military mobilization of the huge empire? The Luli system needs a large number of five doctors to strengthen mobilization to supervise the people and the people of Luzuo, and there are not enough high-ranking people to guard the bottom of the Han family, and my Han will fall apart in the blink of an eye, repeating the suffering of the Qin Dynasty. ”

Queen Wang was frightened. After all, she is a woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and before entering the palace, she grew up in Lu Li and saw how powerful the five doctors were to control Qian. Which farmer is lazy and does not work on time, Li Zheng has the right to punish with whipping, and whenever he punishes a disobedient farmer, hundreds of people will emerge to watch one after another. The three elders in charge of the township's education, the pavilion chief, and the tour will also come to supervise, and even if they can't come if they have something, the errand officials and thieves will also supervise on their behalf.

The strong system of controlling the civilians to the bones, fair and open punishment measures are the most impressive places left on her girlhood, once her half-brothers Tian Wei and Tian Sheng were whipped because they did not hint at returning to Luli, fortunately they would rather be beaten than climb over the wall without permission, and it is a felony for civilians to climb over the wall in Hanlu, and the capital punishment is death.

"Father. Don't scare the child. ”

Liu Che trembled with fright, he had never seen the Son of Heaven make a fierce appearance, and he had the impression that his father was always personable. Always be so calm and calm in your hands.

"The prince is still too young." The Son of Heaven sighed.

If Tai Yishen gives him another ten years to sort out the government, he is confident that he will reorganize the collapsed pattern, take back the lost hearts and minds little by little, and slowly polish the edges and corners of the crown prince to make him more mature and reach the qualifications that a qualified emperor should have, and he can teach him his years of experience in governance. So he could go to his father and grandfather without any worries.

It's a pity that God won't give me! Time is not waiting for me!

The Son of Heaven clenched his fists and was indignant, he realized too late and too late. If you had realized it five years earlier, you would have been so perfect, and now it's too late to say anything.

"People are dying and their words are good, birds are dying and their songs are also mourning, I first read this sentence and felt that the style was too low, and now I think this sentence is the essence! I have long had the ambition to destroy the Huns, and I have worked hard for more than ten years, and I have purchased horses and trained more than 10,000 cavalrymen in the horse farm. ”

Cao Shi's eyebrows raised and listened, the Son of Heaven took a breath and continued: "The prince has the heart to destroy the Huns, which makes me very happy, if you are the prime minister in the future, you will definitely want to kill the Huns, I want to ask you how to prepare for the Huns, how to make my Han rivers and mountains not be dragged down by the Huns thieves, how to destroy the Huns to ensure that the grassland desert does not give birth to Hu and breed for the disaster of the grassland?" ”

Queen Wang was very worried, she was very nervous when she heard the Huns, the cunning and cruelty of the Huns were impressive, every time she heard in the palace was always that the Huns crossed the Great Wall to break through a certain county, broke into a certain county and plundered how many Han people, she was worried for a while.

Cao Shi bowed and said: "The ministers support the Huns!" He also supported the prince to follow the example of King Qin Zhao to sit in the rear to allocate grain and grass, and personally dispatched troops to support the army to conquer the Xiongnu, which could not only enhance his knowledge and broaden his horizons, but also transfer grain and straw to transport the people, and the soldiers could learn a lot of military knowledge that could not be intuitively taught by words, and could also understand the differences inside and outside the Han Dynasty from outside the Beijing Division, and avoid the influence of the ministers and ministers to see the living conditions of each village and each family in Luli, which helped the prince understand the Han family and help to target the reform. ”

Liu Che was surprised: "Why do you want to go out, can't I also transfer troops when I sit in Chang'an?" ”

"Everyone can sing the song of the great wind, but does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know the meaning of Weijiahainei? Emperor Taizu Gao's military merits are supreme, whether the princes or princes are far inferior, you can use the army like an arm, the army worships the strength of Emperor Taizu Gao, and the civil and military officials dare not show the slightest contempt in front of you, as long as you do that, you will never have to worry about those stubborn ministers disobeying you, and the people of the world and the soldiers in the army are not disobedient to you. ”

Liu Che blinked, more like a teenager with a thirst for knowledge: "Then what should I do?" Yuan Ang once said that the son of a daughter could not sit in the court, and Zhi Du persuaded his father to die and enter one concubine. My mother taught me from a young age that I should not do anything dangerous. ”

When Cao Shi heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "Wenchen is in a stable position to protect the court situation, forcing the Son of Heaven not to do anything dangerous, and their behavior is as if the Son of Heaven is locked in a cage. Only a few safe palaces can be freely entered, and they must be heavily armed and cautious when patrolling, lest civilians appear and frighten the frames, and the protection can be described as meticulous and thoughtful.

But such an emperor was born in the forbidden province of the deep palace, grew up in the hands of a woman, did not know the time of farming, did not distinguish the grain, even though he was rich in the four seas, he was locked up like a bird in a cage and completely isolated from the world. Even if several generations of emperors don't feel it, the emperor will become more and more ignorant over time. Just like being blindfolded and having his hands tied, if there is a degeneration of powerful ministers or bureaucrats, the Son of Heaven can only rely on his relatives and eunuchs to exercise power, and the final result is self-evident. ”

Liu Che's eyes widened: "No!" Is it so strict? ”

The Son of Heaven smiled slightly and listened. He hadn't heard a wonderful strategy for a long time, since he was seriously ill, the tone of the hundred officials and ministers when they saw him became much gentler, the voice was small like a mosquito buzzing, if you didn't listen carefully, you would miss many important work reports, he knew that this was the place where the hundred officials and ministers were kind to him, but as the son of heaven, he couldn't just think about his own subjugation, that was the servant's normal concern for the master, not the direct responsibility of the ruling officials to the emperor.

The overall situation of the crown prince in prison for half a year is good, and it is not a big deal to build a new Chang'an City. That little cost is not as much as the cost of fighting the Seven Kingdoms of Wu Chu for three months, and the real money of the Seven Kingdoms will disappear when it is smashed, and the reconstruction of Chang'an is to smash the real money and silver in the most conspicuous place. Every morning, business travelers entering and leaving Chang'an City will see the new imperial capital for the first time, which has an immeasurable effect on increasing the pride and cohesion of Han people.

The emperor was a little tired, and leaned on the arm of the queen to continue watching the conversation between the two.

"Your Royal Highness will not think that Emperor Taizu Gao was afraid when he fought the world, if Emperor Taizu Gao was also so cautious and careful about his life, and paid attention to the son of a daughter who could not sit in the court, it would never be possible to destroy Qin in three years and Chu in five years to ascend the throne and become emperor. A promising emperor must understand military affairs, and the military state is in front of the army in advance. With military power, it's never too late to discuss state affairs! The national policy strategy is several generations of people with lofty ideals to improve the current best state, even if the optimization and improvement is not overnight, only the military is not affected by the national politics can be started at any time, and can affect the attitude of hundreds of officials and ministers in the court to His Royal Highness the Prince, Emperor Taizu Gao is relying on a strong military force Weijia Hainai, this is not the new monarch with edicts and punishments can be replaced at will, so that the love of the soldiers from the heart needs His Royal Highness to work hard. ”

Cao Shi explained carefully, the prince listened carefully, the Son of Heaven listened, and the queen listened.

Queen Wang's knowledge is not bad, every day in the Weiyang Palace will hear the recitals from all over the place, every day to go to the Changxin Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Dou, often see Dr. Huang Laoxue there for the old lady to lecture on the scriptures, even if the initial understanding is not very good, over time gradually become familiar.

In her opinion, what the old Huang school talks about is all clichΓ©s and nothing new, and what they talk about over and over again is a set of things, and the clichΓ©s are endless.

The novelty of Confucianism is that it has it, but the tone is too high, and the three outlines and the five permanent monarchs and ministers are righteous and courteous, which makes people look up to the mountains, but it doesn't sound like governing the country well.

The impression left by the Legalists to the world is too bad, either they are iron-faced and ruthless poker faces, or treacherous, cunning, and scheming despicable villains.

Others, such as the famous Mo family, the Yin and Yang family, and the Zongheng family, are all influential, and the peasant novelists are not even allowed to touch the gate outside the forbidden palace, let alone the actual combat eloquence within the forbidden province.

The young man in front of him was completely different, what he said was completely different from what the previous civil officials said, he took out the glorious record of each monarch's foreign conquest for three generations, and warned the crown prince that the prestige of the crown prince emperor was to rely on the power of the army to win battles, and constantly accumulate prestige to establish a strong control of the country, and Emperor Taizu Gao belonged to this type of monarch.

The other type is the legal succession to the throne, the legitimacy is undoubted, but they do not like to control the military power, let alone foreign wars, but only rely on the power of power and imperial power to control the changes in military affairs, so that the officials and generals are afraid of his means, and by no means the personal prestige of the monarch who is happy and convinced, and the former emperor Emperor Wen of Han belongs to this type of monarch.

The more the queen listened, the more she felt that it was not a taste, and instigated her son to risk his life to go to a dangerous place, and she would have been angry if she wanted to be an ordinary minister, but what she said was very reasonable when she was now, and she was speechless after thinking about it for a long time.

This plan is very huge, first of all, Liu Che needs to at least be able to ride a horse and shoot foot, understand military knowledge and marching conduct, as the commander of a small cavalry team, personally train the knights who belong to his direct subordinates, until the knights under his command go to the northern and southern armies and even the border counties as the backbone, no one in the world can shake his position.

Liu Che's eyes lit up with excitement when he heard this, if he operated properly, he could get a powerful army of his own in less than ten years, and this kind of operation avoided the interference of hundreds of officials and ministers to the greatest extent, and in another ten years Liu Che was only fourteen years old, and he had time to realize his dreams.

Bang Bang Bang!

The Son of Heaven was applauding, and he felt very relieved, and Cao Shi's words were almost selfish.

For the emperor, it is a good thing that the courtiers are not selfish, and the pure ministers are the most reassuring group of people for the emperor, just like the Wanshi Jun Shi Fen who he liked very much back then, he is a respectful and obedient pure minister, Cao Shi is not the type of respectful and obedient, but his talent is by no means comparable to Shi Fen.

Cao Shi is a talented young man, and at his age, he shouldn't have so many selfish intentions, and from the answer just now, let the Son of Heaven see the characteristics that an idealistic young man should have, dare to think and dare to try, regardless of difficulties and obstacles.

Even if the Son of Heaven does not agree with his opinion, it does not affect his good impression of Jiuqing, who is only sixteen years old: "Your idea is commendable, the details are still to be discussed, I have a smooth investigation of you, I hope you insist on yourself and don't be bothered by material desires, and strive to do a good job for the Han family and protect this foundation for the prince!" The promise I gave you is to ensure that the military merit system is rejuvenated, and the prince will implement it according to my ideas, what you have to do is to assist the prince to annihilate the Huns, expand the territory and make immortal achievements, I am also lacking, you step down!
