Chang'an City, there are no secrets. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At least, in front of the gossip party, there is little secret.

Chao Cuo's front foot just came out of Weiyang Palace, and on the back foot, the entire Chang'an was talking about next year's new prime minister and the three princes and nine secretaries of the new world.

All kinds of news are flying all over the sky, true and false, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

However, the statement that Chao Cuo will be the new prime minister appears in all versions.

This naturally makes many people uncomfortable.

"Hmph......" A certain dignitary in Qi Li smashed the exquisite porcelain in his house on the ground, and was a little angry: "Chao is wrong to be the prime minister?" This is absolutely not a no-go! ”

It's not just the perception of one person or one group.

It's the opinion of many, many people.

Since its establishment, the Han family has gone through nearly 60 years of ups and downs.

Since Emperor Gao was proclaimed King of Han, there has never been a minister with a Legalist background who has served as prime minister!

To be precise, in the past 60 years, successive prime ministers have all had a strong yellow old-fashioned color.

Now, a prime minister with a Legalist background suddenly appeared?

Where can the old Huang school sit still?

Among Taixue, it is even more lively, and countless doctors have asked to see Dou Guangguo, the Marquis of Taixue Mountain, hoping that the most respected elder of today's relatives, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, can stand up and say something?

However......

At this moment, Dou Guangguo, Marquis of Zhangwu, was wearing a robe, and Sima Jizhu, a doctor of Taishi Cheng's 2,000-stone "Book of Changes", was sitting on the edge of the Wei River fishing.

There is no doubt that Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo has always been Sima Jizhu's brain-dead fan and pump.

Since Sima Zhu accepted the conquest of the Son of Heaven and became Taishi Cheng, Dou Guangguo would find Sima Ji to come out to fish, have fun, and ask for some life philosophy by the way.

"Mr. Sima, have you heard?" Dou Guangguo took the fishing rod and asked: "The Son of Heaven wants to appoint Chao Yingchuan as prime minister......"

Chao Cuo is a native of Yingchuan County, for the younger generation and juniors, even if he doesn't like him, he has to respectfully call him 'Chao Yushi', only Dou Guangguo, an old qualified and noble relative, can not shy away from calling his name.

Of course, as a relative, Dou Guangguo is very polite.

Even if someone he doesn't like anymore, he won't deliberately belittle and insult the other person.

Therefore, it is practical to call it 'Chao Yingchuan'.

Sima Zhu smiled slightly, glanced at Dou Guangguo, and did not answer his question, but asked: "Jun Hou thinks that in addition to Chao Mistake, who else can bear the responsibility of the prime minister?" ”

"......" Dou Guangguo was silent for a long time, and he also understood this truth.

Today's Han political arena is at a juncture of succession.

The older generation is already dying, and the younger generation is too immature.

If it is pushed forward by five years, or pushed back by five years, Chao Cuo will not be able to become an alternative prime minister.

But it is precisely at this point in time that Chao Cuo has become the only suitable person.

Regardless of ability, skill, or seniority, he seems to be the most suitable.

But......

Dou Guangguo was unwilling to let Chao Cuo become prime minister.

Because, this will break the monopoly of the old Huang faction on the post of prime minister, which means that the old Huang politician raised his hand to surrender and announced his resignation.

"Chao Yingchuan is thin and straight, I'm a little worried, he is the prime minister, he can't tolerate people......" Dou Guangguo sighed and said, this is also the biggest point that Chao Cuo can be attacked now.

Chao Cuo and Yuan An, the grudge entanglement that has lasted for more than 20 years, let all onlookers see clearly, Chao Cuo is the kind of person who has deep obsession and stubbornness.

He is going to be the prime minister, and those who have offended him in the past, embarrassed him, or sprayed with him, must be careful.

Because he is likely to retaliate!

This is not unfounded, but it is a fact!

And Chao's wrong identity as a Legalist, coupled with his personality, is enough to make everyone else deeply worried - if this guy comes to power, will he deliberately favor and elevate the status of Legalism in the examination, Taixue, and doctoral officer selection?

The authority of the prime minister of the Han family is super powerful.

At the beginning, Emperor Taizong's authority and skill were still in the Huanglong Incident, and he was forced to be embarrassed by Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping.

Later, when he waited for Shen Tujia to be prime minister, he also dared to hang Taizong's favorite eunuch Deng Tong to beat, Dou Guangguo remembered that once Deng Tong was almost killed by Shen Tujia!

Today, although he is stronger than Taizong, he prefers decentralization than Taizong.

Zhou Yafu has been prime minister for eight years, and now he is only in charge of direction and policy, and he has given full authority to the three princes and nine ministers headed by Zhou Yafu.

This Chao someone has become the prime minister, and he can use the power of the prime minister to do a lot of things.

Sima Jizhu saw it realistically.

He smiled and said, "Where is the monarch worried that he will not tolerate people's mistakes? It's clear that you can't see it! According to the old man's opinion, it's good to be the prime minister by mistake! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Dou Guangguo hurriedly asked.

"Jun Hou thinks......" Sima Ji said with a smile: "Chao mistakenly became the prime minister, what will Confucianism think?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Dou Guangguo nodded thoughtfully.

In the past two years, there have been constant conflicts between Confucianism and law, and the competition between the two factions and their attacks on each other have become more and more intense.

However, because it is the old Huang faction that governs, and Confucianism is actually only in terms of ideology and theory, there are few entanglements in practical interests.

The stronghold of Confucianism is basically in the south, the vast Qilu, Wuchu region.

The basic plate of the Legalists is the military aristocratic group of the landlords of Daibei with Guanzhong as the core.

The two face each other across the river, and there is very little direct competition.

Moreover, the mess within Confucianism itself is already very complicated.

The ram beats the grain beam, the valley beam is scolding Simeng, Simeng and Chongmin mixed doubles, the Xunzi school said - the above is rubbish!

Lu Ru, who was forced to the foot of the wall, could only curl up in some corners and look at these big guys, trembling.

However, this situation is based on the fact that there is a buffer between Confucianism and Confucianism.

Once there is no buffer from Huang Laolai, a conflict of interest will directly break out between the two.

Not to mention, will Confucianism trust the Legalists to control and control their life and death?

It must not!

Even if Chao mistakenly plucks out his heart's guarantee, he must be impartial, even if the high-level of Confucianism reaches a consensus.

But once it was time for the examination, it was the day of the selection of doctoral officers, and it was time for the meeting of Shiqu Pavilion.

At a time when the stakes are at stake, Confucianism must distrust and suspect each other.

The routine of killing three soldiers with two peaches will never go out of style.

Even if you push 10,000 steps, Confucianism has reached a compromise and consensus, but will the people below recognize it?

In the past, when Huang Lao was in power, every year in the examination, there would be a large number of frustrated literati who were drunk everywhere.

When the Legalists come to power, I'm afraid these drunken and crazy guys will become a crowd for walking.

Human nature is the most untested by interests and reality.

Therefore, it can be expected that as soon as the Legalists came to power, then Confucianism had to go to the Legalists.

No, no, no!

The old Huang faction can take the opportunity to withdraw and watch this fish and mussel competition.

Maybe you can even be a fisherman!

But......

Dou Guangguo still had a deep uneasiness in his heart.

Chao Cuo's rise to power is likely to be decisive in stimulating and influencing the Legalists.

This means that since the fall of Qin, Legalist politicians have once again held power in China after a lapse of seventy or eighty years, influencing the country's laws, political system, and rules of the game.

What will a Legalist do?

Dou Guangguo couldn't be more clear.

In those years, during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the bureaucrats and politicians of the Legalists completed the same books and the same tracks in just over ten years, unified weights and measures, and dug the great Qin Straight Road to build the huge Great Wall.

In the process, the people were scattered, the people were struggling to make a living, and the heavy burden and forced labor almost crushed most of the families.

So, when the ancestral dragon died and the empire lost its strongman, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang immediately rose up, and an unprecedented war immediately swept the entire known world.

No matter how today's Legalists defend what they did back then, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled at the hands of the Legalist bureaucrats.

Now, the Legalists are coming to power?

Who can guarantee that they will not repeat the mistakes of the past?

"Sir, aren't you worried, the Legalist cool officials are harming the people?" Dou Guangguo asked in a low voice.

"Cool officials harm the people? The people? When Sima Ji heard this, he laughed: "In today's China, which cool official dares to brutalize the people like the violent Qin? ”

"Today, the biggest difference with Qin Shi Huang is that His Majesty is the real queen of the three kings, and he is the biggest supporter of the people's weapons!"

When Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor, he collected the world's weapons and cast twelve golden men.

He also destroyed the writings and history books of the six countries.

Today, however, the opposite is true.

Not only did it endorse the natural power of the three kings to hold weapons, but it also issued an edict allowing the people to possess some weapons that they did not dare to possess in the past.

In particular, the area around the Andong Prefecture and the Great Wall Prefecture in the north is really a natural military base.

Everyone is a soldier, and everyone is martial.

The number of Northland knights in the Daibei region is increasing every year.

The Northland Knights, on the other hand, are allowed to possess any military weapons by the state.

Including the terrifying Divine Arm Bow, the incredibly powerful Mo Knife.

In terms of ideology and culture, it has changed the mistakes of Qin Shi Huang, advocated and encouraged, and even supported the contention of a hundred schools.

While protecting and cultivating the Mo family, he also put the teachings on the right track, and inadvertently pulled up the prosperity of Confucianism.

Today, Confucianism can be so powerful, and the seven successful labors belong to this Son of Heaven!

There was no way for him to release and relieve Confucianism of the original sins and historical legacies he was carrying.

Today's Confucian students will inevitably hit the ceiling in their careers!

You must know that before Yuande, there was no place in the Han family where the county guard was a Confucian student, and even the shadow of Confucianism was difficult to find in the court.

When the first emperor was the doctor of "Poetry", Yuan Gusheng was almost thrown into the wild boar pen by the Empress Dowager Dou and fed the wild boar?

But what about now?

The giants of Confucianism, even the giants of the Luru family who have repeatedly criticized and slandered him, are all alive and well.

No one has been convicted of his words!

In such a situation, does the Legalist want to run amok again?

He asked Ru Mo Huang if he was old?

He asked the people who were armed with all kinds of weapons and were not afraid of the cool officials at all?

In the third year of Yuande, the change of Zhangqiu, the peasants with weapons, even the envoys and officials of the king of Jinan were killed, and even the county seat was occupied.

Have they ever shed a single hair?

No!

As for those fanatical pursuers of the Legalists' political achievements, after so many years, who has caused any cruelty to the people?

No!

On the contrary, Sima Host heard many interesting stories.

For example, Zhang Tang, the county guard of Nanyang County, was beaten by a third elder under him with a few sticks from the yamen of the county guard to the gate of Wanyi.

This henchman of the Son of Heaven, the empire's 2,000 stones, is said to have the privilege of 'acting cheaply', and the county guard who can cut first and then play, can only flee in embarrassment, and he doesn't even dare to fight back.

The day after he was beaten, it is said that Zhang Tang licked his face and went to ask the third elder to come to the house for discussion.

Even Zhang Tang is like this, and the other Legalist ministers, when they go to the place, in front of the people and the three elders, they can only be people with their tails between their legs and do things with their heads down.

There are people who are brutal, but no one dares to be as bullish as the Qin Dynasty anymore.

Of course, Dou Guangguo is also aware of these things.

But he had a hard time understanding these things.

He always felt that if the Legalists came to power, problems would definitely emerge one after another.

Because, his experience and insight told him that the Legalists were troublemakers.

And the old school of Huang naturally hates trouble.

"Jun Hou, ......" Sima Ji took the fishing rod and said to Dou Guangguo: "The old man knows the worries in Jun Hou's heart...... But what...... This matter is a joint decision of the Son of Heaven and the Marquis of Changping, even if you oppose it, I'm afraid you won't be able to speak......"

It's true!

Zhou Yafu, Marquis of Changping, is a well-known donkey in the Han court, and wants him to turn back?

It's almost impossible.

And if Zhou Yafu does not revoke his decision to recommend Chao Cuo, then, as long as the Son of Heaven supports it, in fact, no matter how much he Dou Guangguo complains here or elsewhere, it will be about useless.

The emperor of the Liu family had a temper, not to mention his cousin surnamed Dou.

Even his mother, grandmother, or even father can't pull it back.

"Instead of worrying about the problems after Chao Yingchuan came to power, it is better to think about it, the cultivation of Huang Laoxue's younger generations......" Sima Jizhu sighed: "If you don't pay attention to this problem again, the old man is worried that thirty or fifty years later, I am afraid that there will be no Huang Lao's learning in the world, and the politics of quiet and inaction will be reduced to a swan song!" ”

When Dou Guangguo heard this, he also nodded.

The current situation of the old Huang school, especially the qualifications and training of the younger generation, is already shocking.

Not long ago, Dou Guangguo did an investigation.

Through this investigation, he found that among the more than 3 million people in the more than 100 counties of Guanzhong, there were only 500 disciples of Huang Lao under the age of 30.

Among these five hundred people, most of them are the otaku of the Lao Zhuang School and some Shinto cultivators.

It's not a bad thing to have the universe in mind.

Because doing so can cultivate one's self and cultivate one's sentiments, but you, a young man who is less than thirty years old, think about alchemy and cultivating immortals all day long?

Isn't that a bit too much?

The younger generation of Huang Lao scholars now no longer have the ambition of the older generation of sages.

For them, Huang Laoxue has changed from a way of governing the world to a tool used to escape reality.

It's scary.

"I'm ready to take out all the taxes of my Hou State and establish an academy dedicated to teaching poor disciples...... Dou Guangguo said softly: "I hope that I can save Huang Laoxue's decline in one or two......
