Emperor's Technique!!

Li Lizhi was completely stunned.

In front of her was a state of cognitive collapse, but a whole new concept was quietly established in the depths of her consciousness.

"You may not be able to accept this time." Luo Taisui looked at Li Liqing, who was silently contemplative, "There is a way: the law is as obvious, and the technique is not what you want to see."

'Law' is a mandatory system such as rules and laws established by the imperial court, and it is true that it should be explicitly promulgated.

And the 'technique' is the king's skill to control his subordinates, hidden in the chest, and used at the right time, and it is not easy to show people, and it is normal for you not to know. ”

So how do you know?

Li Lizhi couldn't help but want to ask him, but she heard Luo Taisui say: "In this way, the monarch is the body, the magic is used, and the law, the technique, and the power complement each other, which is the essence of the Legalist." ”

Spells and spells are specific methods of rule, and the central goal is, of course, to strengthen the power of the monarch.

"Legalist?"

At this time, Li Lizhi frowned slightly and said: "I heard that there was a saying in today's son: Those who I like, only Yao, Shun, Zhou, and Kong think that they are like birds with wings, like fish in water, and if they are lost, they will die, and they cannot be left without ears for a while!"

It can be seen that today's Zi is implementing the royal road and benevolent government, why are you talking about the doctrine of Legalism? ”

The focus of Confucianism is the hope that rulers will follow the royal path and be benevolent.

The focus of the Legalists is to help the monarch establish absolute authority, punish the law strictly, and implement the hegemony of enriching the country and strengthening the army.

To a certain extent, the two theories are opposite, so it is no wonder that Li Lizhi has this doubt.

Luo Taisui grinned and said, "When I first ascended the throne today, I discussed it with the ministers because of the way of governance.

At that time, Wei Zheng and other ministers advocated the implementation of Confucian royal and benevolent governance, while Feng Deyi and others insisted on domineering governance.

The result of this battle between the royal road and the hegemony ended with His Majesty choosing the royal road, and this should be what you are talking about. ”

I seem to have heard my father say it......

Li Lizhi nodded slightly.

But she was very surprised in her heart: How did this Luo Datou know?

Luo Taisui continued: "However, the Zhou royal family adopted the royal way of 'rising and destroying the country, succeeding the peerless, and lifting the people' to govern the country, and finally fell apart.

However, Qin's hegemonic strategy was able to sweep the six countries and dominate the world.

Why? ”

Li Lizhi pondered for a moment and said, "This should be the monarch's problem......

King Zhao of Zhou did not return from his southern hunting tour.

King Zhou Yi sold the lord and the official and cooked the mourning duke.

King Zhou Li ran away.

King Xuan of Zhou abolished the elder and the young.

King Zhou You abolished his heirs and established his concubines, and the princes of the beacon fire opera......

All this made the Zhou royal family gradually fall into a vicious circle of etiquette collapse and happiness.

"Indeed, there is an element of the power of the king." Luo Taisui lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "But in fact, governing the country is a process of both rigidity and softness, and it is difficult for any party to be ruin in the royal way or domineering for a long time."

The demise of the Qin Dynasty was caused by the extreme application of the Legalists' hegemonic strategy of 'ruthlessness and strict punishment'.

In the Han Dynasty, the emperors realized that it was too weak to govern the country solely with Confucian education, and that 'self-cultivation and family' could not actually 'govern the country and level the world'.

However, although the Legalist proposition of 'severe punishment and strict law' is unpopular with the people, it can enrich the country and strengthen the army.

As a result, Dong Zhongshu kneaded Confucianism and Law into one, advocating both 'education as a major task' and 'the appropriateness of the correct law', which is in essence the combination of Confucianism and law.

Outer Confucianism puts on a layer of benevolence for the emperor's rule, and internal law establishes absolute power for the emperor. ”

"I see......"

After listening to the words, many doubts in Li Lizhi's heart were clear.

"Therefore, when today's son ostensibly acts on the royal road and governs benevolently, in fact, the royal way and the domineering coexist."

Luo Taisui said eloquently: "If Confucianism and internal law, rigidity and softness, complement each other, we can achieve great governance in the shortest possible time and move towards prosperity...... Oh, what kind of eyes are you? ”

He suddenly found that the Li family girl looked at him with a look in her eyes, as if she was looking at a monster.

Li Lizhi stared at him tightly and said, "Since the emperor's technique is not easy to show, how do you know?" ”

This sentence was finally asked.

Luo Taisui was immediately asked, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and said seriously: "I want to ...... back then." When I was young, I also had the lofty ambition of assisting the emperor to achieve hegemony and rejuvenate the country, but the years have passed......" After speaking, he pretended to sigh.

Poof!

Li Lizhi suddenly broke through.

"When you were young...... The years have passed...... How old are you......"

The more she thought about it, the more funny she felt, and the more she laughed, the more she couldn't stop laughing, and finally she burst into tears.

"Is it so funny?"

Luo Taisui didn't expect that he could make the Li family girl like this with his casual nonsense, and when he tasted what he just said, he couldn't help but be happy.

It turns out that laughter is contagious and stacks on top of each other.

The more the two laughed, the more they laughed, they were out of control, and when they finally stopped, they both felt a little hypoxic.

WhewW......

Hahaha......

"I'm going to get some fruit......"

Luo Taisui was a little hot, so he struggled to get up and support the wall, and after a while, he came back with a plate of fruits that had been chilled in Bingjian.

Li Lizhi looked at him the whole time, curious, I really don't know how this honest-looking boy knows so much.

Even if there is a famous teacher to teach, it is too demonic!

"In fact, a clear-eyed person can see from the Xuanwumen Mutiny that he has a domineering technique hidden in his chest today." Luo Taisui continued the previous topic, "It is precisely because of the domineering technique that he finally won this power struggle and successfully ascended to the throne of God.

Whether it was the Emperor Taishang, or the King of Xiyin and the King of Hailing Thorn, they all ignored his ruthlessness......

Anyone who threatens his power, even if it is a potential opponent, you can see what will happen. ”

Li Li was silent.

She really has nothing to defend on this.

Luo Taisui said slowly: "This is the technique of domineering!" Even if you don't want to, it will push you step by step. ”

This is the outer Confucian inner law! The surface is king, but the inside is domineering, but others can't see it.

In this regard, presumably today's Emperor Taishang has a deep understanding. ”

After a pause, he muttered again: "However, leaving aside the identity of the monarch, as a father, the Emperor Taishang really has a lot of last resort, and he can't be ruthless.

After all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat.

I want to level a bowl of water too much, but because of this, I make a wrong step, a wrong step. ”

This sounds familiar......

Li Lizhi showed a thoughtful look.

"At this point, when today's son and the emperor are still very similar." Luo Taisui didn't think much about it, but he just felt it, "Maybe one day, he will finally understand the hardships of being an emperor and a father." ”

When Li Chengqian was forced to rebel and Li Tai was deposed because of the struggle for the crown, perhaps Li Shimin would understand his father's helplessness: the most painful person is more than bereavement...... But I know that I blame myself and blame myself, and I regret it! What a remorse!

Hearing this, Li Lizhi was completely stunned.

Because what Luo Datou said is exactly the same as the emperor's grandfather!
