Chapter 210: A Person's Transformation (1)
Along the way, Zhao Pu was thinking about how to change the law, it was easy to say big things, but it was difficult to do practical things.
As a descendant, he can point fingers, saying that Wang Anshi's change of law is not good, that is inappropriate, how many shortcomings there are, and how many disadvantages there are; But standing in Wang Anshi's position, can it do better than Wang Anshi?
Zhao Pu shook his head.
Construction is always more difficult than destruction, innovation is always more difficult than copycats, and the first is always more difficult than the second. It's like, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing City, he said how good he was and how wise he was than Chongzhen, but when he entered Beijing City, after a period of time, he realized that Li Zicheng was not as good as Chongzhen.
It's like when Sun Yat-sen was revolutionary, he always talked about how bad the Qing government was, but when he came to power, he did things that were not as good as the Qing government, so that later generations often said that "the Republic of China is not as good as the Qing Dynasty".
In Zhao Pu's opinion, when it comes to cultural level, he can't compare to Wang Anshi; When it comes to political ability, he can't compare to Wang Anshi; When it comes to thoughtfulness, he is not as good as Wang Anshi, in short, Zhao Pu is inferior to Wang Anshi in many aspects, but now he wants to change the law. Historically, Wang Anshi's reform failed, so can he succeed?
Zhao Pu was very apprehensive in his heart, and the success rate was less than three layers.
Not to mention that it is only three layers, even if it is only one layer, Zhao Pu has to change the law. As the so-called immutable law is waiting for death, looking for death when changing the law, looking for death is always better than waiting for death, looking for death at least has a chance to live, and waiting for death has no chance at all. Changing the law is inevitable, the road is tortuous, the future is unpredictable, and there is no choice.
In order to change the law, Zhao Pu began to test some ministers and test their attitude towards changing the law.
However, I am very disappointed, when it comes to Shang Ying, it is a derogatory attitude; talked about Wang Anshi is also a chaotic minister and thief. When it comes to how to go on the Northern Expedition, the ministers always talk about it, always saying that as soon as the eight-character army arrives, the people will inevitably eat pot pulp to welcome the king.
Sure enough, most of the literati clique are conservative cliques.
Legalism is reformist, while Confucianism is old-fashioned. In the era of Confucianism in the Great Song Dynasty, reform was very difficult, and failure was normal, Fan Zhongyan was like this, Wang Anshi was like this, and Zhao Pu was very disappointed. looked at the accompanying ministers, and secretly irritable in his heart, there are too many wine bags and rice bags, who can change the law?
Zhao Pu swept around, and it was very tragic to find that he was the only one who was a reformer, and he couldn't find a minister of the reformer in the court.
He's a one-man changer!
If you want to change the law in Hunan and Hubei, you may not even be able to find a minister, only the commander of the light pole?
"Where's my martingale?" Zhao Pu said bitterly.
At this time, he vaguely missed Cai Jing, Cai Jing was a traitor, but he was also a law-changer; There is also Qin Hui, Qin Hui is not good in every way, but at least he is a law changer. Li Si, Cai Jing, Qin Hui, Li Hongzhang, etc., they are actually the same kind of people, they are all capable, selfish, and dare to fight, as long as they are properly controlled, they still have a lot to do.
When Zhao Pu was sad and frustrated, a minister asked, "Your Majesty, but do you want to follow Wang Jinggong and change the law?" ”
At this time, Zhao Pu came back to his senses, only to realize that when he was stunned, the ministers in the tent had left one after another, leaving only a middle-aged minister.
"I don't know your surname?" Zhao Pu asked.
"Weichen Zhang Jun!" The middle-aged man replied.
Zhao Pudao: "Wang Anshi is a loser, I don't learn from him; It is necessary to learn from business martingale and achieve a great cause. The unification of China began with the Qin State, and the strength of the Qin State began with the Shang Dynasty. The victory or defeat of a moment lies in strength, and the victory or defeat of a thousand years lies in reason. The world belittles Shang Jun only because of the peace of the country and the people; Once the mountains and rivers collapse and the society is subverted, the law of Shangjun is the medicine to save the country! ”
Zhang Jun was silent, pondered for a long time and said: "Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and others are trying to change the law in order to be strong and rich, but it is difficult to change the law, and it is difficult to be in the Nine Heavens. The reform did not strengthen the army and strengthen the country, but instead led to a dispute between the new party and the old party in the court. Decades of party strife have exhausted the vitality of our dynasty and caused the shame of Jingkang! ”
"Now, the situation in my dynasty is not good, Bianliang has been lost, a large area of mountains and rivers has been lost, and the future is not safe. Relying on His Majesty's efforts and the hard work of all the soldiers at the border gates, the situation was stabilized and did not continue to deteriorate. If His Majesty changes the law, it will inevitably lead to turmoil in the court and the resumption of party strife! ”
"Party strife?" Zhao Pu smiled, his voice was a little cold, "The country is immortal, and the party is constantly fighting; The party is constantly fighting, and the country will perish. As long as my ancestral system remains unchanged, the party struggle will inevitably be endless, and the delusion to eliminate the party struggle is like seeking fish from the wood, fishing for the moon in the water, and dreaming of a dream. There is party struggle in the immutable law, and there is also party strife in changing the law, so why not change the law? Now that the situation is collapsing, the best outcome is to divide the river and rule, and the worst outcome is to destroy the country. The situation has become so bad that it can't be worse, and I'm not afraid that it will get worse! Change is inevitable! ”
Zhang Jun's expression was a little gloomy, and now the saint's personality is the most stubborn, just like Wang Anshi back then, which is not a blessing for the country.
"Of course, I won't implement the Qingmiao Law, the Recruitment Law, the Armor Protection Law, etc............." Zhao Pu's expression was a little gloomy, "Wang Anshi is a scholar, a scholar changes the law, always wishful thinking, always thinks of the best ending, and I won't." I changed the law, just for the Northern Expedition, not the Northern Expedition, it can only be partial to the south of the Yangtze River! ”
"The success or failure of the art of war, Wechen doesn't know, but who is Wechen willing to follow, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Jun didn't understand, but at the moment he could only choose to support.
Zhao Pu said in his heart: "This is the first ............"
…………
Why is the country strong?
Because most of the high-level officials of the Jin Kingdom are illiterate, they are good at charging in the big war, but they are intriguing and figuring out the details, which is in a state of infancy;
Why did the Song Dynasty decline?
Because there were too many smart people in the Song Dynasty, there were too many people to think about it, so they couldn't do anything.
Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out for three years. It shows that showing talent can't do big things, because he is too smart and thinks about too many problems. And some reckless people, some dumbfounded, regardless of it, finally succeeded.
The same is true of changes, which are well-thought-out and well-planned, and often fail. Those reckless, risky, radical changes often succeed in the end.
Some people change the law, they think about it and then change the law, but the plan is often not as good as the change, and the probability of losing is greater; And some people just think of a rough idea, just have a general concept, and then implement it, do it while thinking, and change it while doing it, and finally succeed.
As the saying goes, think twice, it's enough to think about it three times, and it's not necessary to think about it a fourth time.
This time, Zhao Pu was determined to change the law, and the worst result was just being forced to abdicate, and the worst result was just moving his head, no big deal.
At this moment, Zhao Pu was ready to "revolutionize" many lives;
At this moment, Zhao Pu is ready to be infamous for 10,000 years;
At this moment, Zhao Pu was ready to become a tyrant through the ages.
When talking about the French Revolution and why the Jacobins failed, some people say that the Jacobins killed too many people; Lenin, on the other hand, said that no, it was the killing of too little, and soft-heartedness was the main reason for the failure of the Jacobins and the Paris Commune. Thus, in the era of Lenin's rule, millions of people were revolutionized. Because it was so brutal, Russia was isolated like never before, but it grew stronger and stronger.
The so-called brutality will destroy the country, it's all nonsense. In fact, when the Jin State invaded, everywhere it went, they carried out massacres, and they did not see the Jin army destroyed; The Mongols swept across Eurasia, carried out massacres in China, West Asia, Europe and other places, hundreds of millions of people died, and did not see extinction; And the Europeans invaded the Americas, hundreds of millions of Indians, who were genocidally slaughtered, did not see extinction, but still lived well.
On the contrary, when Emperor Chongzhen suppressed the peasant uprising, he was constantly benevolent and constantly appeased, and as a result, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others surrendered several times, rebelled several times, and finally the Ming Dynasty was gone.
A country will not perish because of brutality, but only because of improper policies.
The change of law is to bleed, and cleaning the house can be better decorated.
There is no bloodless in the world, and the successful change is either the blood of the enemy, or your own blood, Shang Ying was torn apart by the car, and the dead Taoist friends do not die poor monks, let those opponents shed a lot of blood!
