Chapter 170: Li Called Beast's Emperor Course
Li Han shouted angrily: "Piff dares! Father, this is because you are too lenient with your courtiers, which leads them to be arrogant and domineering, relying on some talents to empty everything, which is enough to show that the court lacks a clear standard of imperial power, how can this work?
Father, it is indeed a benevolent monarch's great mercy to promote the rule of inaction, but this is a very imperfect leadership system, if everything is based on self-consciousness, wouldn't the bad guys be able to take advantage of the emperor's benevolence to exploit loopholes? ”
Liu Qi's heart roared, he did always have a sense of powerlessness about how to control the ministers, a while ago he used the cool official Zhidu, it was this bottomless feeling in his heart that prompted him, and now Li Han broke the reason, the feeling of weakness suddenly became clear, and he simply sat down and motioned to Li Han to talk in detail.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and Liu Che ran in with a red face, shouting as he ran: "Father, don't hit your cousin, he ...... Hey, are you talking? ”
It turned out that Liu Che heard a little chamberlain say that Li Han was reprimanded by the emperor and dragged into the palace, so he panicked and interceded, and when he saw that the two of them were doing well, he sat down with a red face.
Liu Qi didn't blame Liu Che, but just asked Li Handao: "You said that my inaction is not good for curing, so what method should be used to govern the ministers?" It just so happened that Che'er was also here, let's listen to it. ”
Li Han had already thought it through, and said firmly: "Father, this is a long story, we have to analyze it from various aspects, let's take Prime Minister Zhou Yafu as an example." ”
"You speak."
"But all the civil and military ministers of the imperial court can generally be divided into five categories." Li Han was on night duty in modern times. I have read a lot of officialdom novels, and it is not a good mallet to talk about the way of being an official, and when I sit cross-legged and speak, I speak amazingly.
"Five categories? What are the five categories? Liu Che asked.
"The first type is people who only think about things and don't think about people, this kind of people are doing business for people.
The second type is people who only think about people but not about things, and this kind of people are purely for the purpose of being officials.
The third category is people who only think about money and don't think about people and things, this kind of artificially makes a fortune.
The fourth category is those who ponder both people and things. This kind of person can become a big climate.
Category V. People who think about things and people and money are even more terrible. However, the last type of Han Dynasty is currently the only one, and my father and younger brother don't have to worry. ”
Liu Qi and Liu Che listened carefully. I was also shocked by this novel theory. Unexpectedly, in the end, I heard this shameless boasting. They all laughed.
Li Han didn't laugh, he continued very seriously: "What I said is true! Prime Minister Zhou Yafu is obviously the first type of person, who can only do business. But he doesn't know how to love the world, he is humble and humble, and he doesn't know how to keep his head in obscurity, and there is only one tendon in his head, which is right and wrong.
As everyone knows, in this world, there are originally three, six, nine and so on, you belong to the second class of people, but you want to use your own reason to influence the decisions of the first class of people, this is his greatest sorrow.
But...... This situation is not Zhou Yafu's fault alone, and you are also inappropriate. ”
Liu Che was startled, and hurriedly wiped his neck, wanting Li Han not to blame his father, so as not to be punished.
But Liu Qi had been attracted by Li Han's classification of the ministers, and said, "Why am I wrong? ”
Originally, when he returned to the capital, Li Han planned to spend a few years at ease and seriously develop his career, but Liu Qi had to let him enter the court, so he had to adjust his plan.
Since he entered the court, he had to kick it out, use the biggest gimmick, and obtain the approval of the ministers in the shortest time, if he entered the court as a young man, any new strategy implemented in the future would inevitably be questioned and denied, which Li Han had already seen through.
Therefore, these days, Li Han has been seriously thinking about what is most acceptable to the imperial court to open the first scene after entering the court.
The implementation of high-yield breeds is only the first step, this thing is a gift from the master, and does not prove his personal ability to hairpin, the majesty of the Huns is just a legend, and the ministers will spread it for a while, not to mention that they will have trust and awe of him.
If you want to gain a firm foothold, gain the absolute right to speak, and not be hindered in the connection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the later operation plan, you must first get the full support of the emperor, so how can you make the emperor believe that his plan is not whimsical? It is necessary to first come up with theories and facts that convince the emperor.
The emperor is not an ordinary person, and the general concept must not make him have a strong sense of identity and participation, so Li Han decided to borrow the essence of the reign of the emperors of the past dynasties to conduct an imperial enlightenment course for Liu Qi, as long as he won Liu Qi's trust in one fell swoop, it would not be difficult to put forward any policy suggestions next.
Li Han originally planned to wait for Liu Lian to marry Liu Lian and have a long talk with his father-in-law as a son-in-law, but who knew that today because of Zhou Yafu's matter, he happened to have a wonderful opportunity, and he was ready to start lecturing now.
deliberately put forward the gimmick of five types of courtiers, which caused Liu Qi to question, Li Zhaobeast smiled slightly and said: "Father, your fault, no, maybe it was wrong from the founding of Gaozu, and the mistake was to stand without breaking it." ”
"What does it mean to stand without breaking?" Liu Qi asked in surprise.
"Gaozu founded the country, the Qin Dynasty was black, the Han Dynasty was still black, the Qin calendar was the Yuan in September, and the Han Dynasty still did not change, and others such as titles, such as courtiers, all followed the old system of the Qin Dynasty, which seemed to be a smooth transition, but in fact, there were endless troubles."
"What does this have to do with courtiers?" Liu Qi was confused.
"It's a big deal." Li Han said: "The child will tell you a real story, called 'The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring'. ”
"Tell me!"
"In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, the people of Wuling fished for their business. Walk around the river, forget the distance of the road. Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, the fallen flowers are colorful, and the fishermen are very different. Moving forward again, I want to exhaust the forest.
When the forest runs out of water, there will be a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. Drop off the boat and enter from the mouth. At the beginning, it is extremely narrow, and only then can it be passed. After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. The land is flat, the houses are like that, and there are good fields and beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders. Yellow hair hangs down and is happy.
When he saw the fisherman, he was shocked and asked where he had come from. Answered. Then he had to return home, and set up wine to kill chickens for food. When the village heard about this person, Xian came to inquire. Since Yun Xianshi avoided the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, he led his wife and people to this desperate situation, and did not come back, so he was separated from outsiders. Ask what kind of world it is, but I don't know if there is a man.
This person sighed for what he had said and heard. The rest of the people returned to their homes, and they all drank and ate. Stop for a few days and resign. The Chinese say: 'Not enough for outsiders. ’”
Li Han recited the texts that the teacher forced him to memorize when he was a child, and he felt very proud in his heart, feeling that his memory was really first-class, and he didn't realize that Liu Qi and Liu Che's eyes were full of strangeness when they looked at him.
"Father, this article was written by a child after listening to a fisherman's story, how do you feel after listening to it? In connection with what the child said, you shouldn't follow the old system of the Qin period, you should understand what 'broken' is, right?
It's not that Gaozu broke the tyrannical Qin rule and established the Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to breaking, the so-called 'breaking' is to break all the habits of the Qin Dynasty, give a new image to the courtiers and the people, so that everyone understands that it is now the Han Dynasty, the emperor's rule is different from the previous dynasty, and the rules we should abide by are also very different. ”
Liu Qi seemed to be enlightened, and his mind was excited, but it was still not clear, and he bowed his head slightly and motioned for Li Han to go on.
Li Han said: "These little things seem simple, but for the common people, they are very obvious changes, for example, we are now vigorously improving the economic level of the imperial court and improving the living standards of the common people, so we should abolish the rules that the people are not allowed to wear colored clothes and silk satin, as long as anyone is capable, they can eat good and wear good."
Also, how can there be a reason to celebrate the New Year in September? The plan of the year lies in the spring, September is when everything begins to be killed, the grass and trees wither, and the weather is cold, and it is set as the first day, whether it is from the solar terms, or from the auspicious point of view, all are not good, and they are changed, and the people will be more clear about the replacement of dynasties.
In this way, there will be no people in the barren mountains and mountains, and there will be no Han affairs. ”
"Oh, father, my cousin said it so well!"
"I understand what you mean by 'standing without breaking', is this one of my mistakes, and the other two?"
"Yes!"
"Cousin, you ......"
"Shut up and let him speak."
"My father has a second mistake, that is, he pays too much attention to the three practical things of being close to the people, enriching the people, and strengthening the people, but forgets to establish his own authority, and it is feasible to be too approachable in a democratic society, but now is the era of imperial dictatorship, you ......"
Li Han realized that he was talking bald again, and that the concept of democracy should not appear, and hurriedly said: "Well, some of my vocabulary comes from my master's gift from the Outlands, so you can ignore it.
What I mean by this is that if you want your subjects and your people to submit to your rule completely, and if you dare not make any objection to your measures, you must first put yourself above them, so that they do not dare to think that you are flesh and blood like them.
In a nutshell, you have to deify yourself. ”
"Mythology?"
"Erchen entered the Xiongnu this time, why did he rack his brains on the road to make up a 'Holy Heavenly Sect' to blind the Tartars?" Li Han began to give examples: "It is because the easiest way to control a nation is to monopolize faith.
Only by making the Tartars think that I am a son of heaven and that they are just lowly lambs, and that I can make them disappear by raising my little finger, can they be in awe of me, and then I tell them that the snow is black, and they dare not doubt it. (To be continued......)
