Chapter 17 Help
The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, except for Song Huizong, is the most traffic-saving and ad-free site for mobile phones.
Under the care of these scholars, the emperors of the past dynasties were relatively frugal, and the imperial palaces of the Northern Song Dynasty were built particularly narrowly.
Today is the first great dynasty after the Spring Festival, and a meeting was held in the Zichen Hall as usual, and the little emperor, accompanied by the Empress Dowager Cai, summoned the ministers.
According to the old practice, the little emperor still expressed his condolences to the ministers one by one, and then asked everyone to work together to create a better tomorrow.
said that it was according to the old practice, but in fact, the little emperor listened to Lin Chong's words, but it was only the beginning of the previous year, and it was only the third time this year.
The little emperor is thirteen years old this year, and among the people, such a young man has already been married and has children.
At this moment, the little emperor sat on the wide dragon chair, his face was like a crown of jade, he stared at the ministers under the imperial staircase, and talked about the ministers in his mouth, talking about the ministers, the achievements of previous years, and then rewarding them one by one, these goods were very rich, and they came out of the little emperor's inner money.
Wait for the end of rewarding the ministers, and then reward the border soldiers.
In general, the little emperor's attitude of sparing no money won the love of the ministers.
A great dynasty, everyone is happy.
After the little emperor retired from the court, he went to the Vertical Arch Palace, accompanied the Empress Dowager Cai, and began to agree on this year's plan again with the three dukes and nine kings.
For example, if there is another drought or flood, how should the Great Song Dynasty deal with it, and so on.
Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: "The husband who does not fight and the temple is considered the winner, and he has to count a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts! ”
Zi once said: "If everything is prepared, it will be established, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted." The pre-word rule is not to stumble, the pre-rule is not sleepy, the pre-action rule is not guilty, and the pre-road rule is not poor. ”
When Lin Chong asked the little emperor how he could be a good emperor, Lin Chong said to him: "Before choosing to be a good emperor, we will set a small goal, for example, you will be a real emperor first!" ”
"The emperor is also known as the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is angry, ambushes millions of corpses, and bleeds thousands of miles!"
Although the little emperor is as noble as the emperor, he is not only guarded by the Empress Dowager Cai, but also monitored by the scholars and doctors.
It can be said that the little emperor still has a long way to go if he wants to be a real emperor who can 'be angry with the Son of Heaven, ambush millions of corpses, and bleed thousands of miles'.
Lin Chong set a small goal for the little emperor, and this small goal was divided into more than ten small projects.
For example, if the Queen Mother does not return to power, how should the little emperor quietly replace the Queen Mother.
This requires the establishment of a team that belongs to the little emperor himself: soldiers, soldiers, farmers, workers, animal husbandry, and merchants.
For example, if the queen mother returns to power, in the face of all the scholars and doctors, what phalanx should the little emperor use to govern the country, to ensure the transfer of state power, and there will be no turmoil.
For example, after the little emperor comes to power, what should I do if a neighboring country attacks? What should I do if there is a disaster?
For example, the political philosophy of the little emperor is different from the ruling philosophy of the scholars, what should the scholars do if they join forces?
If you want to be a real emperor, you don't just talk about it.
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh!"
Before governing the country, Lin Chong first used some means to train the little emperor, for example, in the forbidden army, a new army was re-established.
With the current pinnacle of firearms technology in the Great Song Dynasty, ultra-modern army management methods, and the idea of serving the country with loyalty to the monarch as the core, the little emperor has been silently training his new army for three years.
According to Lin Chong, these new armies are a guarantee that their words will be spread all over the world and reach the whole country in the future.
The second step is to win over the nobles of the imperial court.
At present, outside the city of Bianliang, a new national school has been established - the Royal Academy, which is known as being able to compete with Taixue, because it is the son of the noble, there is no need to conduct scientific examinations, only need to learn some useful knowledge, and the idea of serving the country with loyalty.
So these courses are compiled by the little emperor, Zhuge Zhengme, Lin Chong, after just three years of training, this group of noble descendants, has broken away from the ranks of the sons of gentlemen, although not to become the pillars of the country, but has entered the court.
Imitated the six departments and twenty-four divisions, in addition to the four superintendents of the Shaofu, the Shaofu Jiucao was established.
Shaofu is one of the three princes and nine kings, holding the income of mountains, seas, land, and Ze, and the royal handicraft manufacturing, which is the emperor's private mansion and the source of the emperor's internal money.
The little emperor did not participate in the country's major politics and went all out to seize the Shaofu, which was justified, and even the Empress Dowager Cai and the ministers could not refute it.
After having a Shaofu, there were nine Cao, Cao Zheng was set up, and the small Shangshu in the New Army, Guoxue, and Chongzheng Hall was called the "Twelve Yamen of the Little Emperor" by the people of the time.
The small study room in the Chongzheng Palace is that the little emperor is completely in charge.
The new army was under the direct command of the little emperor.
The Chinese culture was handed over to Zhuge Zhengme to assist in the management, and the little emperor went back every month to check his schoolwork, conduct a big training every semester, and so on.
The Shaofu Jiucao is the place where the little emperor really exercises, with clothing, food, housing, transportation, river, ze, mountain, forest, sea and other nine Cao.
According to the small game that Lin Chong assigned to the little emperor at the beginning, these nine Cao Cao Zheng have to set the development plan at the beginning of each year, as well as the implementation plan, monthly assessment, quarterly assessment, annual assessment and so on.
Once the time can't keep up with the progress, the little emperor will send someone to follow up to check whether there is corruption, dereliction of duty and other behaviors, and then punish them according to the reward and punishment system that has been set before.
Last year, the little emperor's Jiucao brought 60 million taels of silver to the little emperor's internal money, supported the little emperor, and wantonly built a new army, a national school, and a small scholar's study.
You must know that last year, the tax of the Northern Song Dynasty was only 160 million taels of silver, which was the result of Lin Chong's encouragement of the little emperor to trade with neighboring countries over the years.
As a result, the little emperor had a small mansion, and his annual income was worth one-third of the income of the national treasury, which immediately made the ministers red-eyed.
Therefore, Lin Chong asked the little emperor to share some fruits and fruits with everyone after the New Year, whether it was a reward or a reward, in short, it was necessary to have equal benefits, and not to make some people blush.
It is precisely because of the money, power, and people in his hands that the little emperor is only thirteen years old this year, and he has not even married a wife, so he can discuss state affairs with the queen mother and all the ministers, and if he says it, everyone must carefully consider it, and dare not be negligent.
It can be said that in all dynasties, the young emperor ascended the throne, and the pro-government time was the longest, and the little emperor can definitely come out on top.
It is precisely because of Lin Chong's teaching that the little emperor's gratitude to Lin Chong is beyond words, almost to the extent of obedience.
The little emperor accompanied the Empress Dowager Cai, as well as the three princes and nine kings, set the development plan for this year, as well as disaster prevention and other issues, and slowly returned to the Chongzheng Hall with small steps, and saw Lin Chong, Di Yong, Wang Jin, Yang Zhi, Hu Yanzhuo, Han Yu, Sima Yuhe, Cao Zhen, Gao Xi and others.
The fathers and grandparents of these people all served as the three princes of the Great Song Dynasty.
For example, Di Yong's grandfather, Di Qing, was a privy envoy, and this is the highest military commander in the country.
Wang Jin, his grandfather was a lieutenant.
Yang Zhi, his ancestors were privy envoys.
Hu Yanzhuo, his ancestors were captains and privy envoys.
Han Yu, there have been three generations of prime ministers in his ancestors.
Sima Yuhe, Sima Guang's grandson.
Cao Zhen, whose ancestors were prime ministers.
Gao Xi, his ancestors were privy envoys and prime ministers.
These people have not only been glorified by their ancestors, but even these people were selected by the little emperor from the royal library, and once served as one of the nine cao of the Shaofu, with outstanding ability, and now they are the backbone of the little emperor's small scholar's room.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ann!"
More than a dozen people, with a sigh, bowed to the little emperor.
The little emperor looked at the many talents in front of him, and couldn't help but show his face, and only in his own Chongzheng Hall could the little emperor feel the real fun of being an emperor.
"I'm afraid, this is what Lin Chong told me, the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed, and thousands of miles of blood are shed, right?"
Although the little emperor was proud in his heart, his face was very gentle, and after he sat down, he let everyone sit down and sit down.
Soon Zhuge Zheng and I appeared and began to talk to everyone.
When Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, he wanted to tell the 'Spring and Autumn Righteousness'.
At present, the power of the little emperor is flourishing, and Zhuge Zheng is afraid that the little emperor will go to the evil path, so he teaches the 'way of benevolence and righteousness' every day.
In addition to professors, I also like professors.
Even the principle of governing the country by inaction in the 'Huang Lao's Learning' is often taught.
It's a pity that Zhuge Zheng taught me seriously, but the little emperor was just a bloody and energetic man, how could he be like an old man, passing by.
Lin Chongjin once said: "If you want to talk about the old and young of the country, please speak about the old and young of the people." The elderly often think about the past, and the young people often think about the future. Thinking about the past, so I am nostalgic; Thinking about the future, so there is hope. But nostalgia is also, so conservative; But hope also, so enterprising. But it is conservative, so it is eternal; But enterprising, so new. Only think about the past, everything is what it has, so only know as usual; Thinking about the future, everything is unprecedented, so he often dares to break the rules. ”
These truths are related to Wang Anshi's lack of fear of heavenly changes, the lack of law from ancestors, and the lack of compassion from people's words. It's the same thing.
They are all ideas of instigating the emperor, carrying out reforms, and changing the law.
Under Lin Chong's teaching for several years, the little emperor has indeed become a resolute reformer, but the little emperor absorbs Lin Chong's suggestions.
If you want to reform and change the law, you must have your own people. Using the old people and practicing the new law will inevitably repeat Wang Anshi's mistakes. ’
These are also the original intentions of Lin Chong to persuade the little emperor to open the Royal Academy.
"Your Majesty, that's all for today's lesson, the old minister retires!"
Zhuge Shenhou is fifty years old this year, and he knows the destiny of heaven at fifty, and in front of the emperor, he can also call himself an 'old minister'.
"Master, stay behind!"
Lin Chong suddenly walked out of his seat, bowed to the little emperor, and then bowed to the Zhuge Shenhou, his face was gloomy, and he pleaded: "Chong has a matter, I want to ask Your Majesty and Master for help!" ”
