Chapter 29: The Death of People

Shi Xun admonished his son Shi Fu: "Do you want to follow Sima and take Zen Ye? The times are different, how can it be compared - Zhongda was heavily influenced by Wen and Ming and was the minister of the auxiliary government, while Cao Shuang used a small group and went against the grain, and there was a change in Gao Pingling. And Zhong Da was in charge of Wei Zheng, but he had no intention of usurping, arrested his son and then set Huainan, and destroyed Shu Han, and its momentum was initially established. Sima's in-laws are old in the court, so although Yan is young, he can take the business of his father and ancestors, and take Wei from the generation. What can my father and son do? Don't be delusional, but cause great disaster! ”

It's Fuxin who said that as you said, Sima Zhongda was seventy or eighty years old when he launched the "Gaopingling Change", and you are still in the prime of life, if you can not die, we still have a lot of time to cultivate power...... No, since the destiny is in the father, then he will definitely not die!

Probably seeing through his son's thoughts, Shi Xun sighed slightly: "The avenue is here, it is unfathomable, and as for the sky, the unaware are also, can you bless people and give people life?" Those who succeed are not destined for heaven. And what is the value of the emperor? In the eyes of future generations, this position is empty, but it is just a struggle for snails. ”

While there is still time, let me tell you about the events of 1,800 years later, and tell you how advanced science and technology were at that time, how developed the productive forces were, and how much people's living standards improved - "If I have to return to my life as a city and a small official, it will be better than the emperors of this world." ”

He was dizzy and dazzled, but he couldn't believe it, so he asked: "As Grandpa said, two thousand years ago, in the world of Yao Shun, everyone was on foot, but now riding a horse, the difference is only ten times; And 2,000 years after the clouds, flying in the sky, the north and the evening to the South China Sea, such as the Kunpeng. That's a thousand times worse. then the people of the Hereafter. All like gods. And so it is? "How can humanity in the future develop so fast?

Shixun sighed, and said in his heart that he had to talk about the Industrial Revolution...... I have to tell you what kind of life I am going to do here, and how can I say that you can understand? After all, he was seriously ill, and after talking all night, he felt dry mouth and dizziness, so he simply closed his eyes: "Day and night." If you don't die, I'll tell you tomorrow. ”

But I woke up after a night's sleep. But there was no longer much opportunity to educate his son, and relatives, friends, and colleagues heard that it was Ling Gong's recovery, and they came to visit him one after another. Zhang Ji said that Ling Gong needed to rest and couldn't stand such annoyance, so most of them blocked the drive, and only the closer relatives, protΓ©gΓ©s, and important ministers of the court were inconvenient to stop them, so they were put into the inner room - for example, the nephew is detailed, the senior brother Xi Wei, and the eldest brother of Cao De's father and son, and his son-in-law, Xiahou Heng. Wait a minute.

Zhuge Kongming and Sima Zhongda came together after getting off work, intending to serve Mr. for one night. Shixun shook his head and said no. Your diligence in state affairs is the best comfort and sacrifice for me. He also called Fuhe and Tan Du over, and said to the two disciples: "No blame for being reckless, Tan'er is still young, Wangqing and others regard it as a brother and take care of it." ”

Kong Ming's illness was just right, his face was still yellow, and he couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard the words, and said Sir, don't be depressed, you must have the confidence to recover. This disease will definitely get better--"Mr. Shi must not be without him!" ”

Yes Xun said that Zhang Zhongjing is in my house, and even he is helpless, so why should you report unrealistic expectations? Then he said: "I spoke to the Son of Heaven yesterday, and Kong Ming can tell me about my business." ”

After saying this, his heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but glance at Sima Yi slightly, and said that Zhong Da is still two years older than Kong Ming, I didn't think about it yesterday, that is, I said Kong Ming alone, will Zhong Da feel uncomfortable in his heart? But seeing Sima Yi's eyes down, his complexion did not change slightly, just like a primary school student who listened honestly - this person is so scheming that even Kong Ming is difficult to reach.

But Xun also noticed that there was something slightly wrong with Sima Yi's eyes when he looked at him again today - this kid thought he was clumsy on the outside and clever on the inside, but he was actually 108,000 miles worse than Zhongda. I have entrusted my son to these two most capable and perhaps promising disciples, but in the event of a feud or even a fight between them, will my son be implicated? It's Fuke, it's definitely not the opponent of those two!

So he slowly spoke: "Kong Ming is loyal and will not fall into my will." Zhongda is like a wild goose in the sky, and it is not limited by my barriers......"

If the family is considered a martial arts sect, Shi Xun means that he passed the position of head to the second apprentice Zhuge Liang, but at the same time allowed the eldest apprentice Sima Yi to set up his own door - in fact, you are more powerful than the second child, I want to enclose you in the family faction, which will limit your development and affect your future.

When Sima Yi heard this, he felt a lot more comfortable, and hurriedly said: "Yi doesn't dare." Mr. is like Taiyue, looking up to the high, looking forward and backward, Yi only teaches it, what is the limit? ”

In the end, Xun still drove away the two apprentices, and he still had to keep some energy to continue educating his son. But before that, I asked Huan Fan to come over, and before telling him to assist Shi Fu, he casually said: "I can't afford it now, Cui Yan and the others will play the crown, but they will not harm my government." ”

Yes Fu has been staying at home to serve his father for the past two days, and yesterday Cao Chao came to see him, and today the ministers and others probed each other, and they did not dare to bother with state affairs is Ling Gong, so the changes in the DPRK and China in the past few days are not clear to Xun. But Huan Fan is a think tank, he can see the six roads at any time, and listen to the eight directions, he took the opportunity to tell Shi Xun: "Yesterday, the group discussed, the Son of Heaven listened to the government, because of the new regulations, ordered the imperial history to tour the states and counties, and did not exceed the system......

In the feudal era, there were strict hierarchies, and the imperial court stipulated that people with different identities could obtain different levels of material enjoyment, and exceeding the regulations was called "overstepping", which was also a felony. Shi Xun has always been disgusted by this, and has written many articles to flog him, so when he set up the state system for Cao Cao, he only retained the distinction between monarchs and ministers - the emperor's enjoyment must not be the same as that of the courtiers - and as for the officials and people, they only distinguish between the traveling honor guards, not to show their status, but to ensure the prestige of the imperial court.

But he also used traditional hierarchical rules to discourage land annexation, while retaining limits on the amount of private land. Although the real wealthy eunuchs have all kinds of means to circumvent the restrictions, and even if they really "exceed the system", unless the court is ruthlessly investigated, no one will generally dare to ask, but it is better to have regulations than no regulations, and it is better to exploit loopholes in the law than to act recklessly.

Just like in the late Ming Dynasty, the credibility and execution of the government fell to the bottom, so even the merchants in the Jiangnan region also exceeded the system and wore silk. But at the beginning of the dynasty. When credibility and execution are acceptable. No one dares to break the ban casually – and the same is true of land policy. If you open your mouth at the beginning, it is estimated that it will not take 20 years to become uncontrollable, and if you are strict at the beginning, you may be able to last for another 20 years......

Traditional scholars, especially the children of big families, are mostly proponents of hierarchy - oh, not to mention officials in your family, there are not even a few scholars. With two stinky money, you dare to eat and wear better than me? Is it tolerable or unbearable! Therefore, there are often people who count and ask for a new hierarchy, but they are all rejected by Shixun without being hard or soft. This time Shi Xun fell ill, Cui Yan felt that the opportunity had come, so he instigated Cao Chao to pass his new hierarchy, such as the number of private fields, the scale of houses, daily utensils, and clothing materials, all of which are divided into eight levels: emperor, prince, secretary, chief, official, commoner, merchant, and lowly servant, each with its own differences, and it is strictly forbidden to confuse.

Yes Xun listened to Huan Fan's narration. couldn't help but be furious, and the halberd pointed at the air and reprimanded: "How dare you do this?!" I didn't react until I finished scolding. Hey, I was able to move my arm...... Is this a return to the light? Thinking of this, his anger sank again, and he couldn't help but sigh: "People have never died in government, and I can't avoid it." Although he looks at Kong Ming, with Kong Ming's current position, he may not be able to fight against Cui. ”

As far as Guanlu is concerned, in fact, Zhuge Liang and Cui Yan are one level apart, but Cui Yan, as the secretary and supervisor, has previously launched the "Gaoling Change" and has already mixed into the prime minister's team, so it is not something that Zhuge Liang can compete with - even if Sima Yi is added, it is not enough. As for the other prime ministers, I heard Huan Fan say that only Zheng Hun, the left servant of Zhongshu, and Huan Jie, the left servant of the imperial history, voted against, and Bao Xun abstained, and the rest of Zhong Xuan, Chen Qun, Cui Yan, and Yang Xiu all agreed, four to two, so this proposal could be successfully passed.

And even if Zheng Wengong and Huan Boxu voted against it, it is estimated that it is for their own face, and once they hang up, will they go all out to fight with Cui Yan, and whether Cao Chao will find an opportunity to dismiss the two, it is all unpredictable. If you want to say that Cui Jiqi is also a ghost, he first found a breakthrough in his own policy that is not generally approved by the bureaucrats, and I believe that in the future, he will intensify his efforts and overthrow all the systems he has painstakingly managed one by one!

Alas, after all, he is just a flash in the pan, and the historical inertia is so strong that it will inevitably return to the old way after all...... If you knew this was the case, why did you think so hard about it that day, and wanted to change the sky? "The destiny of heaven cannot be violated?"

Who would have thought that Shi Fu suddenly interjected a sentence: "The mandate of heaven is really inviolable, and adults don't have to go against the sky." And cheer up, the child will not abandon Grandpa! ”

It's Xun Xin who said, the destiny I'm talking about is not the destiny you think!

As a result, the mood became extremely bad, and the body was tired and tired. He didn't bother to lecture his son anymore - if I really close my eyes, you can go to the small box under the west wall of the study to find the answer, how much you can read, how much you understand, it's all up to God's will, anyway, I can't control it. He wanted to sleep peacefully, so he ordered the two of them to go out first.

Before he got out of the bedroom, Shi Xun took Huan Fan aside and asked him: "If my father doesn't shy away, Cui Thief will abolish his government, what can I do?" Is there a countermeasure for the meta? "Huan Fan said that whether you are the son or the lord, you can't help but think too much-" The lord once said that the important thing in politics is due to the time and situation, and it is also popular. If the people benefit, the government will survive, and if the few benefit, the government will be abolished. The government of today's lord is not the hero of Zhize and the eunuch, that is, the single family and the businessman. Zhou Gong has been courteous for thousands of years, Shang Jun died and Qin Zheng did not replace, and who Yun died and must be in power? Cui Jiqi can change the number of politicians, but he doesn't dare to change everything, and if he changes, he will harm the public, and he will die without illness! ”

Many of Shixun's policies have benefited many people who were originally excluded from the ruling class, and they have the opportunity to sharpen their heads and drill into the upper echelons. It's like the imperial examination system, since it has been held for two sessions, and now that there will be a third term, many people from poor families have passed the imperial examination as officials, if you want to abolish it, can they agree? If Cui Yan dares to go against the trend and damage the interests of the upstarts, how long does he plan to live?

It is said that my father may be too pessimistic, but you are too optimistic - "The government of the good will make the country stable, and if the clouds are not easy, the country will always exist." "If policies that are beneficial to all people can be maintained for a long time and are not abolished, then there will be no destruction of countries and no change of dynasties in the world.

Huan Fan said: "What Childe saw is also true. If good governance is not stopped, it can be abolished, and after a long time, even good materials will be born. It is expected that Kong Ming and others will be in power, and the son should also cheer up, so as to Shao is the father's ambition. "A good policy will not be kicked over, but it may be gradually destroyed, so you are the disciples to inherit the will of the lord and find a way to maintain it for a long time.

Shi Fu frowned, and said while thinking: "I have a plan, and Yuan will listen to ......" (to be continued.) )
