Chapter 363: The Duties of the Imperial History
Looking at Li Jie, who was a little overwhelmed and cautious, Li Rupei knew that the other party had doubts and fears in his heart, although Li Jie said that after Li Jie served as the imperial historian, he carried out his work drastically, which also promoted the slow formation of the wind of direct advice, but fundamentally speaking, Li Jie still had worries and doubts.
If history does not change, a year later, this Shouwang Li Jie will become the penultimate emperor of the Tang Dynasty Tang Zhaozong, although Li Jie has great ambitions and wants to turn the tide, but he has been manipulated by eunuchs all his life, and he has not really controlled the power, and in the end he has done nothing, watching the Tang Dynasty fall apart and end up depressed.
How to treat the children of the Li Tang royal family, this is also a question that Li Rupei needs to think about seriously, it is definitely not possible to do that to the Ming Dynasty, and in the end the princes have become rice buckets, even if the country is going to perish, they are still unscrupulously greedy for wealth, but the power of the royal family is too great, and it is not established, so there will definitely be a situation of separation, the Han Dynasty is the most obvious, and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent a lot of effort to solve the matter of the rebellion of the feudal kings.
The solidification of the class is also a problem that Li Rupei hates, the so-called dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a hole in the hole, which will completely block the advanced way of the poor class, so that the powerful can completely control the government, and when the power is strong, it will directly threaten the centralized rule.
Li Rupei also knows that it is impossible to completely solve the problems existing in social development, and many problems can only be suppressed and dealt with in a timely manner after the clues appear, and at the same time do things with a fixed schedule, and everyone can do things according to the system, so that it is possible to maintain long-term social stability.
It's a pity that there is no such a good foundation now, and people know that it is still the most important, even if Li Rupei wants to abolish the emperor system, will the people of the world agree, and what good system can replace the current imperial power. History has not developed to a thousand years later, don't think about jumping in stride, it is yourself who falls on your heels.
After careful consideration, Li Rupei still decided to use the children of the Li Tang royal family, and Li Jie, the king of Shou, was a start, and it was also a signal that Li Rupei was ready to use the children of the royal family.
"King Shou, you have done a very good job as the imperial doctor, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart. In the future, you have to continue to maintain, don't forget that you are the prince of the imperial court, many eyes are looking at you, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all looking at the Li Tang royal family, you are the same as me, if you do something wrong, it may attract a lot of punishment, this is determined by your and my identity, don't complain. Only by doing things diligently and doing it for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty can we save the world of the Tang Dynasty, what Emperor Yizong and Emperor Xizong have done. It is an indisputable fact that the Manchu Dynasty is sad and disappointed, and you should also have a personal experience, I can't continue to make those mistakes. Neither can you. ”
"I know that you used to have a good relationship with Yang Fugong, and you are also worried about this matter, always worried about when I will be angry. Even punishment, I hope you don't have such thoughts, the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager have gone to live in Luoyang, the current situation is still good, I don't want to do anything to anyone in the Li Tang royal family, not now, not in the future. ”
"I have personally experienced the pain of the parting of my loved ones, and my father, king, and queen mother, have lost their sainthood because of the royal struggle and the throne game, and I do not want history to repeat itself."
"I tell you this, I just hope you can understand, I hope you do things uprightly, don't have any worries, it's easy to be an official, it's not easy to be a good official, it's easy to persist for a period of time, it's difficult to persist for a lifetime, when I was in the south, I also made up my mind, let go of my hands and feet, and completely rectify the situation in the south, if I didn't have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, I'm afraid I would have been swept away without a trace by the rolling torrent."
"I asked you to serve as the Imperial Historian, it is after careful consideration, the responsibilities of the Imperial Historical Observatory are very important, especially the supervision function, which is the most important, the importance of the supervision function, you are clear, I don't need to emphasize, I am talking to you alone today, I hope you can control the scale of supervision, use your status as a prince, and cause a good promotion and influence on the imperial court, so that officials who are really willing to do things and capable can be promoted and reused, so that officials who are incapable and able have nowhere to hide, Let those corrupt officials be severely punished. ”
Li Jie's eyes widened and he listened very carefully, he was about the same age as Li Rupei, but in terms of ability and courage, it was far inferior, he participated in many early dynasties, he was very impressed by Li Rupei's ability to control the overall situation and make decisive decisions, many things that seemed extremely difficult, Li Rupei could easily resolve them, such as the problem of abolishing civil and military officials, cleaning up and abolishing too many kings and knights, etc., these things, in Li Jie's opinion, are almost impossible to change, However, Li Rupei did it, and it did not cause large-scale fluctuations.
How to do a good job in the affairs of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Li Jie thought of direct advice, but just now the emperor's reminder made him understand more things, I am afraid that just direct advice is not enough, but also to recommend talents for the imperial court, but also to find many clues that may cause unfavorable situations, solve the problem as soon as possible, and avoid large-scale fluctuations.
"I have high requirements, which indicates that you may need to put in more effort, if you want to do things better, the most important thing is to have a group of capable subordinates, Yu Shi Zhongcheng, Yu Shi and others are very important, I have some experience, and I will encourage you after saying it."
"The Chinese military ministers of the DPRK, the longer the time, the more sleek they become, they have learned the golden mean, what they pay attention to is that they are delicate in all directions, and they do not easily say words that offend people, let alone selflessly offend people with iron faces, don't look at the many ministers who are directly admonishing now, but you have seen a few people who expose the shortcomings of officialdom, they are all shouting at the court, but they are unwilling to expose the things around them that are corrupt and bending the law."
"I see it very clearly, but I won't blame them, Shouwang, you are the same, do things diligently, but you are worried that something is not done well, I will blame you vigorously, I will not blame you either, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, plus there are too many lessons from the past, but I told you today, you have to stand up and do things, even if it is something that is considered to hurt my dignity, as long as you think it is right, you must do it without hesitation, I may lose my temper and be unhappy, But the Manchu Dynasty naturally has a fair evaluation, and I will not be confused to the end. ”
"I recommend a group of people to you, most of these people are the last two Enke Jinshi, they are sharpened in Fuzhou County, know the suffering of the people, most of them have not yet penetrated into the officialdom, there is no idea of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, they are much simpler than the officials of the DPRK and China, these people enter the Yushitai, can point out the disadvantages of the DPRK and China without scruples, and can also boldly expose the darkness of the officialdom, I hope you can take them well, these people will be important ministers of the court in the future after being sharpened in the Yushitai."
"Why did I say that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are looking at you, you are the prince, if you are only willing to make promises when you are directly admonishing, how can other ministers say bluntly, even if I have three heads and six arms, it is impossible to know all the circumstances, it is very likely that I will be blinded, at this time, the Yushitai is the time to play a real role."
"Of course, I have also said that the position of the Imperial Doctor is extremely important, not only to impeach and admonish, but also to distinguish between right and wrong, and never be deceived by Xiaoxiao, which requires you to keep your eyes open when impeaching every minister, to distinguish between truth and falsehood, to ensure that you have a fair and just heart, I will not find faults, and I require that every twist and turn of the impeachment of the Imperial History Observatory is completely correct, as long as you are dedicated, I am grateful."
"What I hate the most is to observe words and looks, to do things according to my hobbies, not to think about the world of the Tang Dynasty, not to think about the suffering of the people, thinking that pleasing me will be able to settle everything, thinking that if you are touted, you will be able to sit in a high position, this kind of person I will be severely punished, and the Yushitai will also strictly investigate this kind of person." ……
After returning to the Yushitai, Li Jie thought alone for a long time, to say that it is not a lie to worry, after all, the emperor has been on the throne for less than a year, who knows what will happen in the future, so he is very careful, although the Yushitai is also very busy, but that busy, as the emperor said, is busy with superficial things, touching the root of things, has never appeared at all, after all, Yushitai cannot always discuss big things, impeach officials, and point out the problems existing in the local government of the imperial court, is the most important responsibility.
The emperor's talk, for Li Jie's shock is huge, more than 100 years have passed, because of the high status of the imperial historian, the position of the imperial historian has not been granted to anyone for a long time, generally the imperial history is responsible for the overall affairs of the imperial history, which also led to the decline of the status of the imperial history, and the matter of direct advice has not appeared for a long time.
Li Mingli served as the imperial historian, and he saw that the emperor attached great importance to the imperial history platform, but the emperor's requirements were also unusual.
While Li Jie was still pondering, someone from the province came to announce the decree.
“…… Crowned Prince Li Jie Shaobao, with the Zhongshu Sect under the Ping Zhang, participated in the deliberations of the political hall......"
After Li Jie received the order, he was really in a trance, which indicates that he has become the prime minister of the court, and as a prince, he has entered the highest decision-making level of the imperial court, and the imperial historian has entered the ranks of prime ministers, which is a situation that has never appeared in the Tang Dynasty, which shows that the emperor really has high hopes for the imperial history.
From this moment on, Li Jie's transformation really appeared, he began to do things boldly, the first step is to adjust the officials of the Imperial History Observatory on a large scale, especially the Imperial History, those who have been in the Imperial History Observatory for too long, almost all of them have been adjusted, and most of the people who have entered the Imperial History Terrace are Enke Jinshi recommended by the emperor, these Imperial History Platforms who entered the Imperial History Terrace, Li Jie talked one by one, and warned everyone that it is not a simple thing to become the Imperial History, if you are not able to fulfill your duties, you will definitely be reprimanded, and even be directly dismissed.
