Chapter 8: Political Revolution
Shi Xun and Shi Fu chatted with each other, and as they talked, they talked about Guan Jing's last words. Guan Jing said that if Xun is vigilant, if he is in power and changes the law, he will inevitably offend others, and if he is dedicated to seeking the country and not his life, I am afraid that there will be unbearable things in the future. Yes Fu dismisses this, saying that if you offend people or something, the key is to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to make the enemy a different day.
It was recalled: "Chu mourned and Wu Zi died, Qin Xiao collapsed and Shang Jun was punished, this is not caused by the change of law." Raised a finger: "First, the minister of the advancement, the middle of the country side eyes." "Wu Qi is a dead man of the Wei State, and Shang Ying is a ...... It is also the death of the Wei State...... Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be stunned, interesting, these two goods are both patriots, and they have both been officials in Wei State......
In short, both of them are voted by other countries, and their foundations are not thick, although they are trusted by the monarch and used as prime ministers, relying on them like a humerus, but the ministers may not be convinced, so as long as the monarch who supports them dies, the power edifice they built will inevitably collapse. This is different from you, Dad, you are not only an old minister who served in Yanzhou when the Son of Heaven started, but also the hope of the world, and hundreds of bureaucrats return to their hearts.
Raised the second finger again: "Second, the intimacy is inseparable, offending the clan." "At that time, it was an aristocratic society, and if the two tried to change the law, they would definitely damage the interests of the old nobles, and most of those old nobles were relatives of Qin Jun and Chu Jun, so when it came to the relationship between relatives and relatives, Wu Qi and Shang Ying were naturally at a disadvantage.
Another example is Chao Cuo, even if he is trusted by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, his opponents are Wu, Chu and other vassal kings. Even if there is no coercion from Wu and Chu, or slander from Yuan An. It is estimated that Chao Cuo will not end well.
But you're different, Dad. You are a relative of the emperor. Now that my son and I are still the princess, and the relationship has been brought closer, as long as we don't offend all Cao Xiahou, we are not afraid that someone will dare to turn the sky upside down.
Finally, he raised the third finger: "Third, but know the country, not the body." For example, Chao Cuo, his father's early warning: 'The Liu family is safe, and the Chao family is in danger.' He did not change his ways. You can't kill Dou Ying, Yuan An, etc., or even die. "We must think more about our own safety, kill all discontented people, and eradicate potential threats to avoid future disasters.
At this point, I will say to my son, Dad, you have considered the health of the family, and for this reason, you are usually kind to others, which is different from Shang Ying and Chao Cuo, but you are still not ruthless enough. Like Chen Qun, when I see Tian'er fighting with you, I can't bear my son, and you will still say good things about him from time to time......
It's a repetition and a rhetorical talk. Yeshun just held the wine glass and muttered. Drank it for a while. Shifu has already started to shake up there, basically can't sit up straight, Shixun said don't go out of the city today, I will send someone to report to your mother and the princess, and you can sleep here - ask Gan to go and prepare a bedroom for the eldest prince.
It was until I slept until three strokes in the morning before I woke up. When you open your eyes, you are confused: where is this? Then my memory gradually recovered, but I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat - I really drank too much yesterday, what did I say to my father?! What the princess's wife said is indeed reasonable, and if you drink too much, you will lose it...... But who would have thought that he could get drunk in his own house and dare to talk to his father? As soon as my vigilance is relaxed, I dare to love me, and I'm just an ordinary drunk......
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I regretted it. Fortunately, I think about it carefully, yesterday my dad drank about the same amount as himself, basically he had a cup, I had a cup, I had a cup, and he had a cup...... He didn't drink as much as I did, and hopefully he was already drunk and completely forgot about my words. Otherwise, when I persuaded him to kill Chen Qun, according to his usual temper, he should have shouted to stop it, but he didn't let out a single fart, wouldn't it be that he was already confused, and all his words about his son were in the left ear and out of the right ear, right?
God, Daddy has forgotten all about yesterday......
Quickly get up and wash, and ask the maidservant, where is the lord? The maidservant replied that the master was still in the study, and instructed that if the eldest prince woke up, he could go to meet him. It was a "sigh" in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "When will the adults get up?" The maidservant replied, "The hour will rise." โ
Looking up at the sky, the sun is almost at its peak...... Daddy got up early, wouldn't he be as drunk as I expected? I was worried, so I hurried to the study and reported to the door to meet me.
Yeshun is writing, and he is summoned to come back. It was the first time to bow and say, "If you are drunk, or if you have false words, Daddy should not sin." "Let's say okay first, I was drunk yesterday, I can't take it seriously, whether you heard it or not, and remember it, please don't take it to heart.
Shi Xun smiled faintly, put down the pen, stretched out his hand to help him get up, pulled him to sit down, and then said in a low voice: "It's said 'drunk and spit out the truth'." It was Fu who was shocked, and hurriedly argued: "After drinking, but there is a birthday language, and Ande is true?" "Yes Xun pouted and said that if you don't tell the truth after drinking, your wife won't tell you to drink less, but for your father...... I won't pull you to drink even if I want to.
Shixun has many inventions, one of which is "turning the pot", which I learned from the storytelling "Yang Jiajiang" I listened to when I was a child. It is said that the king of Tianqing of the Liao Kingdom held a banquet on the golden beach of the Double Dragon Meeting, and the Yang family Dalang and Erlang respectively disguised Song Taizong and the Eight Sages King to go, and were used by the king of Tianqing to use a turning pot and poison both with wine. The principle of this kind of kettle is very simple, the kettle is separated by two spaces, and as long as the trigger is bracketed, different liquids can be poured out from different spaces.
It's Xun who made a turning pot, of course, not to poison anyone, just because he didn't drink much, for fear that he would drink too much at the banquet and make a fool of himself, so he cheated a little bit. There are two spaces in the jug, one for wine and one for water - for others, pour wine, and pour water for yourself. I have always held banquets at home, entertained guests and friends, always used a turning pot, and often used Gan's wine, Mrs. Gan is very clear about this, and the technique is quite skillful - this set is not even clear to her son.
So yesterday was a night of wine, the alcohol content is not low, at least eleven or twelve degrees in the future, only one of the ten cups is true, and the other nine cups are all drinking water, and he also used the toilet to pick his throat and spit out, and then drank half a cup of tea. Then he observed a little outside the window and found that his son was really seven or eight points drunk, so he pretended to come in and led the topic to Guan Jing's last words......
I also figured out the reason in an instant - of course, I didn't know about the turning pot, but Dad, you deliberately didn't let me pour you wine, but wanted to let Gan's wine drink, and now I think there must be a conspiracy...... Ah, it's so unfilial to slander like thisโthere must be a deep meaning! I said, why did you suddenly want to drink with your son, dare to love, you want to trick my drunken mantra! I knew Dad, you were quite dark, but I didn't expect you to be so slippery......
When the neck was stalked: "Daddy wants to sin with drunken words?" โ
Yeshun said that if I really plan to punish you, I will copy the family law at that time...... Oh, there is no family law in my family...... At least I slapped you in the face, and your mother is not here, and no one dares to stop me. It's just that your words yesterday were really unreasonable: "If you cling to this heart, you will belong to my family!" โ
Yes, he didn't defend himself, and continued to stalk his neck, saying that then please ask Daddy to teach you. Shi Xun said: "The reason why Wu Zi and Shang Jun died by law, and why the Seven Kingdoms were defeated and died by mistake, is because of the three things that Fei'er said. "Yes, I asked, what do you say is the root cause?
Yes Xun said that because Shang Ying and Wu Qi changed the law, the country was strong but not convenient for the people, and Chao made a mistake to cut the princes, and there was no practical benefit to the courtiers and the people, but he offended many people, but no one supported him.
In this regard, he clearly explained his political philosophy to his son: "After the Han and Yuan dynasties, Confucianism was respected, and the family of scholars flourished. If the Han government is not changed now, and it is suppressed, the big will hurt the country, and the small will despise me. โ
We are not a wealthy family, although your father and I have worked hard all our lives to become important ministers of the court and scholars, but only one generation, your uncles and uncles can't support the overall situation, and you don't like to read, it is estimated that after two or three generations, you will still be reduced to a poor family and be looked down upon by the family.
That's why I want to change the political system, not only to suppress the family - if I really do that, it is estimated that Chen Changwen will not only fight with me as a gentleman, you have to live and die, and I don't need your advice, I will try to get rid of this person first - mainly to support the poor. First, through papermaking and printing, the knowledge reserve of the poor family was expanded; and then through the imperial examination system and the civil lord system, the political influence of the Hanmen was improved; and even the great prosperity of industry and commerce, which not only weakened the strength of the family's annexation of land, but also strived to pull the Hanmen and the family on the same starting line in terms of financial resources and local influence.
This is a protracted change, even a revolution, and when the Hanmen forces gradually approach the family, then there is no difference between power and single, to the big one, the country's ruling class has expanded, and the foundation can be more stable.
My enemy is not Chen Changwen, but a huge family system, you can't kill it with a sword, don't think about killing. So since the enemy can't be killed, how can we ensure our own safety? Then only by making more friends and friends can we strengthen our own power. Therefore, the reform I presided over is different from Wu Qi and Shang Ying, and while offending some people, it can also bring tangible benefits to more people, which is the real strategy for seeking and protecting one's life.
Son, you must remember that righteousness must be respected, and thunder means are indispensable, but the only thing that can really make everyone support you, obey you, and protect you is only interests - you let them see the benefits, although the guns and knives can be used, because they will take the initiative to help you block arrows in order to protect their own interests.
Of course, what I said is just a theory, a specific analysis of specific problems, how to seek a country and a family at the same time, you have also grown up, your wife is married, and you will have children and daughters in the near future, and you should also shoulder the responsibility - "My father and son should conspire together." โ
As he spoke, he took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve and stuffed them into his hand: "The living place of Guan Shi has been closed since his death, and he can investigate and think about it carefully. (To be continued......)
