Chapter 388: The Empress said that there was such a faint monarch in the past
It is no wonder that Yang Houzhao is soft-hearted, and people often judge a person's quality and relationship with the distance.
If you are close, as long as you are good to yourself, then even if you do a big bad thing, you feel like a good person.
Those who are far away from themselves, as long as they do a little bad thing, even if they steal a branch, they are all evil people.
That's human nature.
Li Zhao nodded while listening, and then saw Yang Houzhao's burning eyes looking at her, as if he wanted to see her through, this was waiting for her understanding and reply.
She said: "Long live the lord, the concubine can understand your feelings, if it is a good friend and relatives around the concubine, who was originally very good to the concubine, and suddenly goes to prison, the concubine will also be sad and unbearable, but long live the lord has not thought about it, Zhao Jin has done so many things that are sorry for others, if we let him go for our own selfishness, how unfair is it to others?" ”
Yang Houzhao said aggrievedly: "But there are many people who do this." ”
"So anyone can do this, but you can't." Li Zhao's tone became solemn.
Later, she continued: "If it is a person with little power, if it is my father, he wants to favor and protect him, his ability is limited, and the people in charge are limited, which will cause unfairness between me and Mingrui at most."
But what if it's a lieutenant chief, a village chief? That's more people are unfair.
Long live you, you are the foundation of the world, if you are biased and protective, it is the unfairness of the people of the world.
Long live Lord, you are not alone, you have the people of the world on your shoulders, you forget, everyone in the world is your people, you are the father of a country, now your good friend bullies your children, although your daughter does not know, no feelings, good friends have deep feelings, but can you let go of good friends and let your children be wronged?
Therefore, the more high-ranking people are, the less they can act according to their preferences like ordinary people.
Equity may not be possible, but justice must be. ”
In all the words, only the father of a country was like a slap in Yang Houzhao's heart.
Yes, he is the father of a country, and he also claims to be the father of a country, and the people are children, so did the father let his children be wronged?
Yang Houzhao gradually lowered his shoulders, thought about it and said: "Ah Zhao, in fact, you have a little misunderstanding, not only the problem of intimacy, but also the issue of position, the cabinet impeached Lao Zhao, saying that Lao Zhao was corrupt and perverted the law, but what about themselves?" None of them are innocent. ”
He repeated what he had complained about with Gao Feng yesterday morning.
Li Zhao frowned and said, "Long live Lord's words felt impeccable when I first heard them, but haven't you thought about it carefully?" Those who are corrupt and pervert the law should have been severely punished by one person, so how can they still be assigned?
You are the emperor, this country belongs to our family, are you conniving at everyone?
Let everyone compete, who is more greedy for ink? Who is worse? ”
Yang Houzhao opened his mouth slightly: "I didn't mean that. ”
Li Zhaodao: "Since this is not the meaning, Long Live Lord must understand that the people will not blame them for the wrong things these people have done, because the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, who gave them the right?" It's you, how much money did Zhao Jin check out? Did you say we got a point?
But what will be the result if you let Zhao Jin go? The emperor connived at the inner servants, and he knew that the inner servants were corrupt and bent the law and released people, what happened to this emperor? Zhao Jin is fine, you are responsible for the infamy?
And then, I'm a wife, don't I get scolded?
In the future, our little photo will be said that his father, the emperor, was the most mediocre and incompetent back then, and he has always favored the servants, he doesn't understand anything, and he is not worthy of being the emperor at all. ”
Li Zhao dared to say these words, because everyone knew that Yang Houzhao didn't like to listen to others' reprimands, but when Li Zhao mentioned their children, Yang Houzhao panicked.
He said angrily: "Who dares, who dares to look down on our son? ”
Li Zhao smiled coldly and said, "Why doesn't anyone dare? Even in front of you, aren't there so many officials who come forward one after another, and if they can scold you, they can scold our son. ”
Yang Houzhao thought to himself that I could be scolded alone, but no one can bully his wife and son, he is still the emperor, can't he even protect his family?
He nodded again and again: "I didn't think much about it before. ”
Li Zhao saw that a sad face welled up on his handsome face, and took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Long live Lord, the concubine has heard such an imperial story, saying that there is an emperor who is a young man who ascends the throne, especially fun-loving, and does not want to go to the court, nor does he listen to the words of civil officials, he pampers the inner servants and does not say, and he especially likes to mess around, he has no brothers and children, and when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are worried about the fall of power, he still has to leave the capital and go to the south to play, and then on the way to this trip, he died unexpectedly."
Until he died, others laughed at him, because he was very active, and he had personally conquered several times, but they all thought that he was not good at fighting and incompetent, so the temple name given to him was Wuzong.
This is not sad, after a few hundred years, his dynasty was overthrown by another dynasty, and the emperors of the future generations, every time they see that their princes do not study, educate their children if you want to become that faint monarch Zhaowuzong?
How pathetic you say. ”
Yang Houzhao's heart moved when he heard this, why did Ah Zhao say that the emperor's personality was so similar to himself?
Could it be that Ah Zhao is talking about my life?
His eyes probed again, as if he wanted to see through Li Zhao's eyes to see through Li Zhao's heart.
But the corners of his lover's mouth were smiling, and his little hands were close to his palms, very dependent and doting, and he could even see his own appearance from her eyes.
Her Ah Zhao loves him so much, how can he make up stories to arrange him?
Since he wasn't arranged, it was impossible for Ah Zhao to know his life.
So it's that he's thinking too much.
Yang Houzhao grabbed Li Zhao's hand and said: "That emperor is so pitiful, I don't want to be that emperor, but if Zhao Jin is not allowed to recover, who will check and balance the civil officials of the foreign dynasty?" It's not that I want to connive at anyone to do bad things, I'm really the king of a country, and of course I like the world to be full of clean officials.
But there is only so much tax in a year, and when it is used here, it is gone.
If you don't use people here, you won't be able to collect taxes.
If you use it, you have to endure them to fill your pockets.
My father told me about it, but he didn't think of any effective way, so I could only catch one and count one.
And Lao Zhao can restrain them, so can't I restrain Lao Zhao more in the future? ”
No, Zhao Jin's ability is not enough.
In fact, the ** of the dynasty is not dominated by the civilian group or any force at all, but whoever is in power will become the root of corruption and scourge of the country.
Why, the system dictates.
There are good people and bad people in any group.
It is the same among the chamberlains and civil servants.
But different systems can fundamentally determine the ratio of good people to bad people in the crowd.
The most fundamental reason why the dynasty will decline little by little and be overthrown lies in the system.
Land annexation and imperial examinations.
