Chapter 0124: The Emerging Prince
Hearing Liu Ying's series of slightly reproachful, and even faintly slightly harsh words, Xiao He's expression on his face couldn't help but pause.
Without waiting for Xiao He to open his mouth to defend himself, he saw Liu Ying squinting his eyes as if he had a feeling, and looking at Xiao He's gaze, there was already a little coldness!
"Oh······"
"Lone knows."
said this with a gloomy face, and saw that Liu Ying's face couldn't help but sink again.
"There are 30,000 officials and slaves in the young government driven by loneliness, and Xiao Xiang refuses to allocate grain and rice for food."
"Ran Changling, when you also have to build tens of thousands of officials and slaves of the emperor's mausoleum?"
"The officials and slaves who built the emperor's mausoleum, Xiao Xiangzhu did not dare to refuse to allocate grain and rice, so as to mistake the construction of the emperor's mausoleum ······"
"So ······ it"
Speaking of this, a look of annoyance finally appeared on Liu Ying's face.
"Could it be that Xiao Xiang thinks that his father can't be bullied, and loneliness is something that can be bullied?!!"
"Or the country of my Han family, not the people's farming, water conservancy, but the construction of the emperor's mausoleum !!"
Leng Buding sighed softly, and saw Liu Yingmeng flick his sleeves, straighten up from his seat, and tell Xiao He with a clear expression on his face: This matter, if you don't give an explanation to Lonely, Lonely, I will give you an explanation!
Liu Ying's sudden strength was obviously a bit unexpected by Xiao He.
——The country of the Han Dynasty, is it farming, water conservancy, or the emperor's tomb?
From an objective point of view, both statements are actually true.
Because since the establishment of the country and the time when Liu Bang, the son of heaven, sat on the supreme position, there are two sayings about the country of the Han Dynasty.
One said: agriculture is the foundation, business is the end.
The second said: Guanzhong is the foundation, and the Kanto is the end.
From this point of view, whether it is related to water conservancy or to the imperial tomb, it is actually the 'national capital'.
Needless to say, water conservancy is a major matter of the country; Water conservancy, agricultural affairs', it is enough to explain.
And the construction of the imperial mausoleum, if placed in those times of later generations, is naturally theoretically the 'world's top priority', and the actual face project.
However, with the imperial mausoleum in conjunction with the mausoleum system, the local heroes were forcibly moved into Guanzhong from the Kanto region like leeks, so as to achieve the purpose of 'strengthening the capital and weakening the end', so as to achieve a high degree of centralization of the Han family, even in a practical sense, the construction of the imperial mausoleum is also a top priority related to the stability of the society!
In later generations, why is there always a saying that 'all dynasties and dynasties have families, but there are none in the Western Han Dynasty'?
——It is because the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty relied on a mausoleum system to tirelessly strengthen the local heroes, moved into Guanzhong when he first appeared in the prototype of the family, and personally suppressed it with the authority of the Son of Heaven!
When did the loneliness of the Western Han Dynasty begin?
In later generations, there are different opinions.
Some say that relatives are in power, some say that the harem interferes in politics, some say that the eunuchs are in chaos, and some people put this pot on the head of Confucianism.
But in the final analysis, the foundation of the Western Han Dynasty was really shaken, and it was irreversibly rushed to extinction precisely because of the rather inconspicuous small print in the annals of history.
——In the fourth year of Yongguang, Emperor Yuan prepared to build Shouling and abolished the Lingyi system!
And this Han Yuan Emperor Liu Zheng, who deposed the Lingyi system in one fell swoop on the grounds of 'wasting money and grain in vain, which is not in line with the way of Confucius', is the son of Liu Xun, Emperor Xiaoxuan of Hanzhong Zong.
That's right, it was the corrupt Confucian emperor who was reprimanded by Liu Xun as 'those who mess with my family, and they will be princes'.
As soon as the Lingyi system was abolished, the local forces were completely expanded.
From the fourth year of Yongguang (40 years ago) when Emperor Liu Zheng of the Yuan Dynasty abolished the Lingyi system, to the ninety-fifth year (25 years) of Emperor Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty, who succeeded to the throne of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and restored the Han dynasty in the twenty-fifth year (25 years), but in just sixty-five years, in the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, he could not raise his head, could not even wear clothes made of silk, and could not even make carriages.
It is no exaggeration to say: the Lingyi system is the foundation of the Western Han Dynasty!
As long as there is a Lingyi system, as far as Liu Han Tianzi can see, there will definitely be no local forces that obstruct the centralization of power!
And now, just five years after the founding of the country, the mausoleum system has just stepped onto the stage of history, the construction of the imperial mausoleum is definitely worthy of the sentence 'the first priority of the court, the foundation of the society'!
But the problem is: as the prime minister, Xiao He must not say that 'the emperor's tomb is more important than farming'······
The reason is simple.
——Agriculture is the foundation of the country, which is a universal value recognized by the Han dynasty and even the past thousands of years.
And the Lingyi system can be regarded as a rare 'new soup and new medicine' in Liu Hansheji.
Although above the court, the Lingyi system has a certain degree of political correctness, it cannot be hyped up for the time being.
The reason is very simple: the core value of the Lingyi system is that 'Guanzhong is the foundation, and the Kanto is the end'.
But if this is said in a grand manner, what will the people of Kanto think?
What do the princes of the Liu clan in the eastern part of the country, especially those with different surnames who are rebelling or about to rebel, think?
To put it simply, agriculture is the foundation of the country, which is a universal value recognized by the whole world, and there is absolutely no fault with it.
And 'Guanzhong is the foundation of the country' and 'the system of Lingyi is strong and weak', although it is correct, it can only be done in private, and it cannot be talked about in a grand manner for the time being.
In this way, as the first marquis of the founding of the country and the first minister of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He must ensure that every word he says must conform to the universal value of 'agriculture is the foundation of the country and business is the end'.
As for the words 'Lingyi is used to strengthen the foundation and weaken the end, and agriculture is the same as the foundation of the country', Liu Bang, the son of heaven, can talk to his courtiers in private where there are no people.
As the crown prince, Liu Ying can also try to curb it in front of his mother's relatives and henchmen, and mention a little 'the father and the emperor should do the strategy of strengthening the foundation and weakening the end to consolidate the country'.
Perhaps decades later, when there are no more princes with different surnames in Kanto, the later generations of Liu Han Tianzi can say the words 'Guanzhong is the foundation of the country'.
But as a prime minister, especially the first prime minister of the Han Dynasty, there are still several princes with different surnames in Kanto, Xiao He can never say this······
"Home, ······ home"
"Minister······
I saw Xiao He's dry lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
Liu Ying was right.
The tens of thousands of officials and slaves who were responsible for the construction of the emperor's mausoleum have all been allocated by the treasury for the rations and even winter clothes they need, and they dare not have the slightest deduction!
- Changling, but the imperial tomb of the founding emperor Liu Bang is the place where Liu Bang rests after his death!
Who would dare to neglect the funeral of the founding emperor?
Who dares to lack two pounds?
Not to mention Xiao He, who is the prime minister, you must know that even the crown prince Liu Ying, a few months ago, when he ordered 'Guangfa Shaofu officials and slaves to serve for the power of canal repair', he didn't forget to mention 'except for the officials and slaves who built the emperor's mausoleum, the rest will be released'!
As the imperial tomb of the founding emperor Liu Bang, Gai is not only about the mausoleum system in public face.
From a private point of view, it is also about whether Xiao He, a courtier, is loyal to the Son of Heaven, whether Liu Ying, a son, is filial to his father, and Liu Bang, the founding emperor, Xiao He, the founding prime minister, and Liu Ying, the founding prince, have played an exemplary role for future generations.
But in this way, Liu Ying's sentence 'The prime minister doesn't dare to mess with his father, doesn't he feel lonely?' Xiao He couldn't answer the question······
"How can I ······ at home today?"
"I have already gained a little bit of the posture of a family, and my words and deeds have actually been a little sophistry?"
Xiao He understood in his heart: Liu Ying today can be regarded as grasping the pain point of 'knowing the importance of the emperor's tomb, but he can't say it clearly because of his identity'.
And if you want to respond, you must move the topic away from the matter of the imperial tomb.
After a moment of silence, Xiao He's stunned face slowly returned to normal, and he only sighed lightly and bowed his hand to Liu Ying slightly.
"The family is graceful."
"The rations of the officials and slaves of the Shaofu were indeed reserved by the treasury for a long time, and the ministers refused to allocate them, nor did they think that the family was benevolent and deceiving······"
As he spoke, Xiao He didn't forget to let out a helpless wry smile, and then shook his head slightly.
"Since the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, by the order of His Majesty, the two palaces of Changle and Weiyang, with the assistance of Yangchengyan of Shaofu, have been completed without one year of age!"
However, since then, Shaofu Yangchengyan has regarded his ministers as benefactors; Above the court, every time the minister has a suggestion, the young government does not think about its rights and wrongs, but blindly echoes it. ”
"Because of this, the minister was afraid of His Majesty's suspicion, and he did a little trick in Guanzhong, so as to discredit himself······"
Speaking of this, Xiao He didn't forget to raise his head slightly, and saw that although Liu Ying's face was a little angry, it was still lukewarm, and he couldn't help but turn his head a little.
"If the minister and the Shaofu only have a close personal relationship, it doesn't hurt; However, because of personal friendship, Shaofu has repeatedly obeyed the advice of his ministers in official affairs and state affairs. ”
"The minister thinks that this is not in line with the way of the minister, and the way of the same official is also very different······"
"Your Majesty has been fighting abroad for many years, and the ministers are not trusted, and they are entrusted with the power of the court."
"The ministers hold the power of the government, and they can really be described as trembling and trembling, like walking on thin ice; lest I fail His Majesty's kindness. ”
"In such a situation, how dare the minister sit back and watch the Shaofu abolish the public for private reasons, and it is convenient for the minister?"
asked softly, and before Liu Ying could speak, he saw Xiao He shaking his head again.
"Your Majesty's trust is respected, and I really don't dare to be suspected of 'forming a party for personal gain' and 'conspiring against misdeeds'!"
"He is also in charge of the court, and he does not dare to sit back and watch the Shaofu disrupt the country's politics because of public and private affairs."
"However, the ministers and the Shaofu have been in contact for many years, and their personal friendship is not shallow; If you speak bluntly to persuade Shaofu to distinguish between public and private, I am afraid that it will hurt the harmony of Qing Cao's colleagues. ”
"Therefore, this time, the minister's refusal to allocate the rations of the officials and slaves of the Shaofu is really to make the Shaofu remember the grudge and worry about it, and the minister is a little far away."
After saying that, Xiao He smiled with shame, and even wiped the sweat from his forehead a little, and did not forget to add: "And the grain in the treasury today is indeed lacking to the limit. ”
"The rations reserved for the officials and slaves of the Shaofu are hundreds of thousands of stones, if they can be lost to the ministers as the military rations of His Majesty's army, the ministers can also rest for a day and have a full meal······"
