Liu Che held a book and told the story to the emperor's eldest son, Liu Yi, who was sitting in front of him.

"In the past, when Wei Wenhou was in the past, Wenhou asked Fox Juanzi: 'The father is obvious, can the children rely on it?' The fox scroll replied: This is not possible! ”

Wen Hou asked again: The elder brother is virtuous, can the younger brother and sister be relied on? Fox Roll said again: Still no! ”

Wen Hou asked again: The younger brother is virtuous, can the elder brother be relied on? Fox Roll said resolutely: No! ”

"So, the courtiers are wise, can the king be relied upon?"

Fox Roll still shook his head resolutely and said: No!

Wen Hou was very angry and asked: I asked Mr. five questions, and Mr. said that he could not rely on it, why is this?" Liu Che looked at the serious Liu Ai and observed his demeanor and appearance.

This story, although it is a bit difficult for Liu Aiji, is not incomprehensible.

Since he was born into the royal family, he had to be smart, brave, independent, and strong at heart.

Otherwise, he is destined to become a stepping stone for others, and may even become the object of bloodshed.

There are countless facts in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, that prove this point.

Therefore, it may be that for other families, children who are four or five years old are at the age of innocence, and they should go to play and play.

But for the royal family, this is something that cannot be tolerated.

Any man of the royal family, when he landed on the ground, had already embarked on a cruel road stained with blood and paved with bones.

At the end of the road is the throne.

In a country and nation like China, in many cases, even if you become an emperor, if you don't have enough ability and skills, it is very easy to turn into a tragedy.

Therefore, every prince, when he begins to be sensible, means that he must mature himself as soon as possible.

Otherwise, his brother would have left him far behind.

And Liu Che is obviously not the kind of person who will take the rise and fall of the country and the nation as the basis for judging his likes and dislikes because of feelings or other reasons.

The capable go up, and the weak go down.

If Liu Ill could no longer satisfy him, then he could only be a princely king.

Therefore, while other people's children are still playing and playing, Liu Che's children must begin to learn and master the skills that they will rule the world and the country in the future.

In this first lesson, Liu Che decided to tell him a truth through the story.

No one else would easily tell him, and he could only rely on himself to figure out and explore the truth.

The basic condition of a king.

"Fox Juan Zi said to Wei Wenhou: His father was virtuous and did not surpass Yao's, but his son Danzhu was arrogant and absurd, and was exiled as a result; The son is virtuous and does not surpass Shun's, but Shun's father and brother conspire to kill Shun; The elder brother was virtuous, and did not surpass Shun's, while his younger brother was banished; The younger brother was virtuous, no more than the Duke of Zhou, but his elder brother Uncle Guan was killed because of the rebellion; The ministers were virtuous, and they did not surpass Shang Tang and Zhou Wu, but their lords Xia Wei and Shang Xuan were finally overthrown by them; Xia Wei and Shang Xuan, absurd and unreasonable, disgusted by the world, crusaded! But they always want to count on others, rely on others, and this will not achieve the goal at all! ”

In the end, Fox Roll told Wen Hou that if you want your country to be strong and prosperous today, you should start with yourself, and if you are strong, you don't need to rely on others!"

After telling this story, Liu Che put down the book and asked Liu Aiji: "Sick, do you understand the story told by your father?" ”

Liu Yi was already sitting upright, nodded very sensibly, and replied: "Back to my father, my son knows one or two ......."

"Let's talk about ......"

"The father taught his sons that they should not rely on others for everything, only their own body is the foundation!"

Liu Che listened and laughed.

It seems that this Liu Yi has learned something in the academy of Shanglin Yuan.

So that he was relieved.

For the royal family, there is never fear of their children being precocious.

There is only one thing that the emperor is always worried about - why is this turtle grandson so stupid?

At present, Liu Aiji's learning and comprehension skills are not bad.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the temple.

A eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Yin Qi, the captain of the embroidered guard, asks to see you!" ”

Liu Che then put down the storybook in his hand and said to the left and right: "Send the emperor's eldest son to Mrs. Yi, tomorrow morning, you must send it back to Shanglin Yuan!" ”

"No!" Left and right bowed, and then led Liu Yi to leave the hall.

After a while, a slender and handsome official walked into the hall and bowed to Liu Che and said, "Ministers Qi Gong asks Your Majesty Sheng'an!" ”

"Bow down!" Liu Che stood up and asked, "But what's the matter?" ”

Since the investigation of spies back then, Yin Qi has been trusted and reused by Liu Che.

This is because Yin Qi was one of the few cool officials Liu Che had seen in his previous life.

At the same time, it is also because this person's ability is indeed outstanding.

At least among the embroidered guards, there are few capable officials like him.

What's more, Yin Qi is familiar with Chinese law and knows all the existing legal provisions, including laws such as the Pinglu that has only been promulgated in recent years.

He has always acted in accordance with the law.

Unlike other embroidered officials, they either like to fish for law enforcement, or they love torture to extract confessions.

And Liu Che actually didn't want Xiuyiwei to become a violent spy agency like Jinyiwei, with no national law and only the emperor.

The reason is simple.

This kind of thing is a double-edged sword.

If you're not careful, you'll easily hurt yourself.

A person in charge of embroidery guards with a bottom line is always better than Wang Wenshu and other guys without a bottom line!

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is ordered to monitor the activities of the Hundred Schools of Princes, this is the activities of the Hundred Schools of Heaven and the Hundred Schools of Thought that have been summarized recently......" Yin Qi said as he took out a thick report from his arms and handed it to Liu Che.

Liu Che took it and looked at it carefully.

This look is half an hour.

Yin Qi, on the other hand, knelt motionless, waiting for Liu Che's order.

When Liu Che looked up and found out about this, he hurriedly laughed and ordered: "Give ...... to sit for Captain Yin."

Only then did he dare to get up, and under the guidance of a eunuch, he sat on the seat.

"Have you verified all these things?" Waiting for Yin Qi to sit down, Liu Che asked solemnly, "Is there anything missing or biased?" ”

Yin Qi Zhengse replied: "Back to Your Majesty, all the things in the report are the fact that the ministers and officials have repeatedly confirmed, signed and postponed!" ”

Nowadays, there is a system for embroidery and clothing, and those who sign and endorse must endorse what they report.

If you make a mistake, you will be held responsible!

This is to prevent some guys from eating enough to catch the wind and shadows.

It is also to prevent people from doing things under the guise of rumors and legends.

Violent institutions like the Embroidered Guards and minions of the Emperor.

Liu Che's attitude has always been that he must manage well and strictly.

At present, under the control of Yin Qi, Xiuyiwei has gradually washed away the strong atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, and has begun to move towards formalization and bureaucratization.

Although bureaucracy is not a good thing, it is much better than internal chaos and disorder, and a group of ranger bosses who decide to do this thing as soon as they pat their butts.

Hearing Yin Qi's answer, Liu Che nodded, picked up the report, glanced at it, and asked, "Huang Laopai, are you really getting close to the Legalists?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, after the verification of the ministers and others, it is indeed so!" Yin Qi said: "However, at present, it seems that it is only Mr. Zhang Hui and Mr. Tian Jing who are advocating, and the giants of Qi and Huang have not yet known their reactions!" ”

"Oh......" Liu Che took the report and laughed.

Huang Lao actually went to merge with the Legalists?

This greatly surprised Liu Che, but it also reflected a truth - there are no eternal friends, let alone eternal enemies, and only eternal interests.

And......

Although in the impression of later generations, it seems that the old Huang school pays attention to quiet and inaction, recuperation, and the Legalists seem to have nothing to do with the eight poles.

But in fact, few people know that the Huang Lao School and the Legalists are in line with each other in terms of policies, theories, pursuits, and demands.

From this point of view, in fact, the proximity between Huang Lao and the Legalists is a matter of course, and there is no problem at all.

After all, the old Huang faction also advocates the rule of law.

For example, the well-known 'if the law is not prohibited, it will not be corrected' is the core policy of contemporary Huang Lao-school politicians.

Also, for the Legalists.

Although Legalism traces back to its roots, it was a school that was born when Mr. Zixia gave a lecture in the Wei State.

But in reality, Legalists were far more influenced by Huang Lao's thought than they were by Confucianism.

Now, the 'law, technique, potential, and force' advocated by Legalism is derived from Huang Lao's thought.

Even, the giants of Legalism, such as Shang Jun, such as Shen Buxian, etc., were all influenced by Huang Lao's thoughts.

Shang Jun's teacher's corpse is the old Huang tycoon.

As for Shen Bu Harm.

Han Feizi clearly pointed out: Shenzi's learning is based on Huang Lao and the main punishment (historical records).

In essence, the Huang Lao School and the Legalists are like two vines attached to the avenue, entangled with each other and constantly climbing upward.

In the long history, these two schools of thought have influenced each other, developed each other, and cooperated with each other.

Although the actions and styles of the two may be very different, the future they pursue and the ideal country are strikingly similar.

The old Huang school said that 'the Tao gives birth to the law', and the Legalists said that 'the law is governed by the law'; the old Huang school proposed that 'the law leads to gains and losses with a rope, and the clear twists and turns are straight,' and the Legalists shouted next to them, 'The law is not expensive, and the rope is not bent.'

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a top student doing homework, and the scumbag behind the ass is constantly plagiarizing.

However, this scumbag is smarter, and after plagiarizing the homework of the top student, he revised it himself, and then changed it to his own homework. So much so that even the teacher didn't know that the scumbags were plagiarized.

It's just that......

The crux of the matter is that now, although the Huang Lao faction is gradually declining, it is still the ruler of the Han family.

Even today, Liu Che's policies and decrees still carry a strong Huang Lao thought.

The local officials and grassroots political powers, except for the places governed by the ministers of the Legalists, are also governed according to Huang Lao's idea of inaction.

Legalism, on the other hand, belongs to the largest school of governance among the hundreds of schools of thought.

The characteristic of the ruling school is that there are few talkers and many practitioners.

The Legalist strongmen in the world are basically in the officialdom.

Chao Cuo is one of the three princes.

Tingwei Zhao Yu is the president of the Supreme Court in charge of the punishment of the Han family, and concurrently serves as the supreme prosecutor. Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Nanyang County Shouzhang Tang dominated the rise and fall of the future Han heavy industry base.

Even, even the Che Cavalry General Yizong is actually a Legalist.

Even the captain of the embroidered guard in front of Liu Che also has a very, very strong Legalist color.

When Huang Lao and the Legalists came together, after confluence.

Do you want to play other schools?

Liu Che knocked on the table, and then put the matter aside.

He doesn't really have any definite likes or dislikes about this matter.

He is the emperor, the arbiter.

He only needs to maintain a minimum of fairness and justice, as long as the sons and hundreds of schools do not go down the three roads, he is too lazy to interfere.

In this world, natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Some schools were united by the Huang Lao faction and the Legalists, and they were defeated one after another.

But they will not perish, nor will they really perish because of it - unless they die of their own accord and give up on themselves, otherwise, with determination, they can still find a place in the future.

There is pressure to be motivated, there is competition, there is evolution!

Besides, the alliance between the Legalists and Huang Lao, not to mention that it is still just a symptom, even if it is completed, it may not be as close as a family.

As far as the old Huang faction and the Legalists are concerned, they are all in a mess now.

The Qi Huang Lao and Chu Huang Lao and Qin Huang Lao within the Huang Lao faction, as well as the Shang Jun, Shen Han and Li Kui factions within the Legalist family, are troubled to divide the superiority first.

Therefore, even if the old Huang faction really unites with the Legalists, it may not be able to truly unite as one.

Back then, during the Warring States Period, the six countries of the East were united, how much momentum was there?

Hasn't it been easily disintegrated by the Qin State?

Compared with this, Liu Che is more concerned about the bad things within Confucianism.

"I didn't expect that the rumors I released back then really worked now......" Liu Che looked at the things about the Han Poetry School in the report, clasped his hands and laughed.

Of course, Liu Che has a good impression of the Han poetry school.

Because in his previous life, he was very influenced by the Han Poetry School.

He is also very aware of the ideas and demands of the Han poetry school.

He is indeed educating his son with the few stories written by Han Ying.

For example, the story he told Liu Ying just now was written by Han Ying.

This is very in line with his three views, and it is also very suitable as educational material for the royal family.

In this world, royalty is like that.

No one can be counted on, no one can be relied upon.

Only yourself, and only yourself, is the best reliance!

This is the so-called backing on the mountain, relying on everyone to fall.

Basically, as long as this point is clear, there is a trace of the foundation for being an emperor.

But......

"I've never appreciated the other initiatives of the Han Poetry School......" Liu Che clasped his hands and smiled in his heart.

If he really appreciated and liked the ideas of the Han poetry school, he would not have left Han Ying in Handan.

I will definitely invite Chang'an, at least as a guest of the Han family, as a think tank.

And the fact is that Liu Che only appreciates and personally has a good impression of the Han poetry school, and as for letting the Han poetry school participate in politics, then it has to be!

It's like, you love to play games, but do you make games your life? (To be continued.) )
