Chapter 278: The Smart Man and the Fool

The moment Qin Hui walked out of the main hall, cold sweat soaked his back, and the fear in his heart was overwhelming.

Thinking about it, the emperor's eyes, Qin Hui felt a burst of cold teeth, the emperor moved on with killing intent, that killing intent was so crazy and persistent, even if it was five thunderbolts, even if it was a catastrophe, he would kill him.

And at this moment, Qin Hui was frightened, as long as the emperor raised his hand, the female guard next to him would make a move and kill him, as for the impact afterwards, he didn't care about it at all.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, His Majesty the Emperor restrained the killing intent in his heart, and he slowly retreated.

At this moment, Qin Hui was unprecedentedly afraid, and he was afraid of His Majesty the Emperor. If the emperor had made up his mind to kill a person, even at the cost of losing his name, that person would surely die, and no one in heaven or on earth would have saved him.

"Crazy, totally crazy!"

Qin Hui muttered in his mouth.

In the world, the most terrible thing is not Mingjun, Mingjun will care about reputation and always cherish feathers; The most terrifying thing is not the faint king, the faint king is just confused, and it is easy to deceive; The most terrible thing is not a tyrant, a tyrant is extremely cruel, but there are also fears, fears, and weaknesses.

In the world, there is nothing more terrifying than the combination of geniuses and madmen, such as Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin, etc. They are naturally wise, and they are very tolerant and generous to their courtiers, but once they offend their rebellion, they will take revenge madly, even if it is a catastrophe, even if it is nine deaths.

"It seems that my words stimulated him!"

Qin Hui smiled bitterly.

………………

"Your Majesty, do you remember the death of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, do you remember the death of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, do you remember the death of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"

At this moment, Qin Hui had already retreated. And Zhao Pu sat on the chair, still unable to come back to his senses for a long time, and that sentence was like a demon's curse, constantly echoing in his heart, making him feel like he was going crazy.

Historically, what is the reality of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and today's Song Dynasty?

The Western Jin Dynasty was invaded by the Wuhu, the country was ruined, and finally forced to retreat to the southeast and rule the river; And today the Song Dynasty also suffered a Jurchen invasion. had to retreat, and finally rowed the river to rule.

The decline of the Western Jin Dynasty was due to the fact that the strength of the clan was too strong, and the small one was to control the power of a state, and the large one was to control the power of the state. The Emperor is their puppet, under the name of the family. There are a large number of tenant farmers in captivity. occupies a large amount of land, evades state taxes and military service everywhere, and constantly suppresses the poor families of the scholars. At that time, tens of millions of people in China were slaves of hundreds of thousands of clans, like maggots sucking the blood of the Han people. As long as the clan class exists, it must be seven layers of inward. The third layer is external, and it is simply unable to go on the Northern Expedition;

The decline of the Northern Song Dynasty was due to the fact that the power of the civil bureaucracy was too inflated, which compressed the interests of other classes. Throwing social classes out of balance. In order to ensure the interests of the civilian clique, it is inevitable that the seven layers are inward and the third layer is external, and there is no power to go on the Northern Expedition. Even if the Northern Expedition is forced, it will be defeated.

During the Sui Dynasty, why it was able to dominate the world was because of the years of war, which seriously hit the interests of the Shi clan, so that the Shi clan shrank, and could no longer suppress other strata, and the interests and needs of each strata were satisfied, so the society was relatively stable, and it was able to turn most of its energy to the outside, unify the whole country, and even attack the Turks in the north;

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition was successful was because after experiencing the devastation of the Yuan Dynasty, the scholar class suffered a devastating blow, and could no longer suppress other classes, so that the interests of all strata were balanced, and there was no need to spend too much effort to suppress internal contradictions, and there was enough energy and strength to drive out the Yuan Dynasty in the Northern Expedition.

In later generations, if Japan's shogunate does not fall, Japan will inevitably devote most of its energy to internal fighting, and it will not be able to develop and grow externally; In the same way, if the Qing government does not fall, China will inevitably devote most of its energy to infighting, and will not be able to develop at all.

At this time, if the Song Dynasty wanted to develop, it must be solved...... At the very least, the scholar class should lose some of its interests, give profits to other strata, satisfy the interests and needs of other strata, and achieve relative stability among all strata of society, so that it can reduce internal strife and have enough energy to go on a northern expedition to the outside world.

If you don't solve this problem, if you want to go on the Northern Expedition, you will definitely lose.

Just cutting the flesh from the scholar class is not an easy task, it is easy to attract backlash, or even death without a place to bury.

Don't look at it, at this time, the ministers of the court and the central government are gentle and humble to him, and they seem to respect him very much as the emperor, but once they provoke the scholar class, they don't mind borrowing knives to kill people and play a game of killing the monarch for a while.

He's just an emperor?

Don't take yourself too seriously!

And just "cutting the flesh" from a privileged class, without completely defeating him, can easily attract backlash.

"Cutting meat" is not a dinner party, it is to see blood. If you want to reconcile, play balance, and suppress the contradictions, it will only make the contradictions more intense, and if one is not good, it may be a big explosion, which will blow him to pieces.

Now, Zhao Pu first implemented the military household system, prepared to build a military academy, and vigorously promoted the status of military generals, vaguely, has infringed on the interests of the scholar class. It's just that now, when it is still in a period of war, it is impossible for the scholar class to play the murder of the king, and he controls the military power, so it is impossible to play a coup d'état.

As a result, the contradiction was temporarily hidden.

And hiding it for the time being doesn't mean that there is no action, so Qin Hui appeared and said to him, Your Majesty has forgotten the death of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?

And the Eastern Jin Dynasty was Liu Yu, who died in the Beifu Army, and Liu Yu himself was a martial artist.

The meaning is very obvious, the emperor, you have to be careful of the martial artists, be careful of the usurpation of power by the martial artists, and be careful of Liu Yu appearing again among the martial artists.

The allusion to Liu Yu's usurpation of power is intended to remind him and guard against martial artists.

And how to prevent the martial arts, it is necessary to govern the military with civility, and appropriately decompose and control the expansion of the power of the martial arts.

In the last time and space, Qin Hui's proposition was successful, and he successfully relieved the military generals of their military power, and even killed Yue Fei, which was indeed the result of exempting Wang Dun Rebellion and Su Jun's Rebellion, and exempting the military general Liu Yu from usurping power, and expanding the interests of the scholar class.

Qin Hui's victory over Yue Fei was ostensibly a victory of the Yihe faction against the Jin faction, but in essence it was a victory of the scholar class against the martial arts group. The scholar class once again regained its lost glory and once again achieved self-supremacy, while the other classes were once again in a state of suppression.

Because the other strata were suppressed, they were naturally extremely dissatisfied, and the resistance continued, and the infighting intensified again, and most of the energy was spent on the infighting, how could they go on the Northern Expedition.

Even if it was the Northern Expedition, it was mostly a sure defeat.

Qin Hui succeeded, his opinion was very correct, and he couldn't find a flaw in his wisdom, which was beneficial to the emperor and the scholar class, but it was not conducive to the entire Chinese nation. From then on, the Southern Song Dynasty could only survive in Jiangnan until a powerful enemy appeared and destroyed it.

"Qin Hui is really clever!" Zhao Pu sighed, "Within a hundred years, he will inevitably be the leader of Shilin, and he will inevitably surpass Fan Zongyin, Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun, and Wang Boyan............"

"But Your Majesty, why do you have murderous intent towards him?" Just now, Wang Wuyue felt that His Majesty the Emperor was exuding murderous intent, and this was the first time.

Once, there were many civil servants who contradicted the emperor and embarrassed the emperor, but the emperor was just angry, but there was no trace of killing intent. And this time, His Majesty the Emperor had murderous intent against this courtier.

"Qin Hui is a smart man, he can always cater to the Shilin class, and he can always cater to the emperor; He is a smart man who always gives the most correct and sensible opinion............ It's just that sometimes the most correct and sane opinion is not necessarily the most suitable opinion! Zhao Pu sighed slightly.

"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek. It is often not the smartest person who can go to the end, but the stupidest person! ”

Smart people always think about maximizing profits, always thinking about speculation, too concerned about the gains and losses of interests, lack of persistence in doing things, lack of madness, and it is difficult to achieve final success; And fools may not speculate and maximize their interests, but they have the madness and persistence of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, and hitting the south wall and still not looking back, often to the end.
