Why is it so quiet?

Why not say a word?

Naturally, they were shocked and shocked, and they didn't know how to interject into the words.

Just like a person who does not learn and does not know how to face the great Confucianism who quotes scriptures and debates, he can only be at a loss.

No one has ever used such easy-to-understand language to put the actions of those prosperous monarchs and ministers in history in front of everyone.

Why those historical emperors and virtuous ministers chose to do so when faced with one thing, there is an answer at this moment.

This is a kind of "theory" that exists in politics!

Things are interconnected and influence each other.

The theories that Luo Su extracted from real political events will in turn allow future people to govern according to the theories.

This is why Luo's children can use the book of governance to govern the world!

This is the strength that Luo's can save by standing on the shoulders of countless ancestors!

With the wisdom of the scholars, how could you not understand that when Luo Su put forward this theory, in the years to come, there will be countless scholars who use the "ruling thought" to analyze the policies of the current monarch and ministers, and then perceive the change in the direction of the wind.

If the policies of the Son of Heaven are ideologically contradictory, it means that the Son of Heaven's thoughts are confused, and some people will even make it clear in a book.

Since Luo Su put forward this theory, the affairs of the court are no longer isolated, but connected, just like the relationship between the central and local governments.

The more these wise people thought about it, the more surprised they became, and the more they thought about it, the more shocked they became, so the temple became quieter and quieter.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Eldest Sun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, Chu Suiliang and others all frowned tightly.

Luo Xuanye looked at everyone leisurely, he has always not interfered in government affairs, after all, there are assists in the art industry, but it is still very interesting to see these talents who are famous for their resourcefulness, and now they look like this.

Li Shimin saw that everyone didn't speak, so he took the initiative to ask: "Why didn't Zhong Aiqing say a word, what the national teacher said, I feel quite reasonable, what do you think?" ”

"The words of the national teacher are deafening and respectful!"

"Respectfully!"

Everyone said convincingly, it can be seen from the attitude of King Zhou Junwang and others, it is not ordinary, from the attitude of the Son of Heaven, it can also be seen that it is not an ordinary person, it really shouldn't be questioned, this slap in the face.

Li Shimin was very happy when he heard this, and even looked at the eldest grandson, with some eyebrows dancing, "In this case, then Zhuqing thinks that how should I govern the Tang Dynasty in the future, so that the world can be governed?" ”

Wei Zheng had some thoughts in his heart, but he estimated that the ministers in the palace would not agree, so he saluted Luo Su and asked, "I don't know if the national teacher has any good words to wait for me." ”

Luo Su glanced at him, but did not speak, he was one of the people who made decisions, and he was in charge of control.

Seeing this, Wei Zheng sneered and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there has never been a thing in this world that can be achieved overnight.

For example, there are 6 million households today, and the strength of the summer is still there, but it is just like a hungry person who has no strength.

Resuming production is the first priority, and educating the people and doing the royal road should be the first priority.

With the royal road to Huanghuang, it is the meaning of setting things right with the national teacher. ”

Wei Zheng was the first to put forward his opinion, and his words were not in order, because since the collapse of the Han Dynasty, it has been hundreds of years since the royal road.

When Li Shimin heard this, he hesitated, he didn't agree with it, he was a person who fought the world, he had seen too many people, and after such a long time of turmoil, people's hearts had long been chaotic, and he thought it was difficult to educate.

The ministers in the palace sneered even more, and Chu Suiliang, who had always had a bad relationship with Wei Zheng, directly ridiculed: "Wei Zheng, the royal road has long been abandoned in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the strong man did not use the royal road to govern the country, but mixed with domineering.

Civilize?

Amusing!

The hearts of people in this world are sinister, how can you be educated as a scholar?

Hold your books and study in the pile of old papers, this court is not something that a person like you who only knows about retreat can stand.

Your Majesty, there is no need to believe the words of his scholars, if there is chaos today, we should use heavy codes to systematize, severe punishment and strict law, so that the people of the world can only achieve it by agriculture, business, work, art, and learning. ”

When most of the Zai Zhi heard Chu Suiliang's bitter sarcasm, they immediately applauded, and refuted Wei Zheng one after another, agreeing with Chu Suiliang's remarks.

Luo Xuanchen didn't say a word, he glanced at Li Shimin, and then at Luo Su, thinking thoughtfully, silently thinking about something.

Li Shimin saw Luo Xuanchen's strange appearance, so he asked out loud: "Why didn't Xuanchen say a word?" ”

Luo Xuanchen saw Li Shimin calling his name, so he arched his hand and said, "The minister was thinking about it just now.

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor pacified Chiyou, and then indoctrinated; Eliminate Jiuli and educate all the people; Shang Tang exiled Xia Ji and created a great cause; Zhou Wu killed Shang Xuan, and cheered up; There is no way to fight Qin, and then there are strong men; Eliminate the Han Dynasty and build the Han Xuan; The first Han was displaced, and Guangwu inherited.

The establishment of the Sui Dynasty, if it were not for Emperor Yang of Sui, the first tyrant in ancient times, despite the harsh punishments and harsh government of Sui Wen, the people still did not have chaos.

This chaos is followed by great governance, which seems to be doomed.

After this chaos, the people do not seem to be so difficult to educate, and His Majesty listens to the words of the minister's family. ”

Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, what a partner, I, Wei Zheng, need a political ally like you Luo Xuanchen, others, hum, the erection is not enough and conspiracy!

Belch!

Luo Xuanchen's words made the crowd speechless, but they still insisted that what Wei Zheng and Luo Xuanchen said was not credible, "We assisted Your Majesty in founding the country, and what you have done is known to Your Majesty, and we have all experienced a lot, not Wei Zheng and others, and I have never seen anything that can be compared." ”

The two sides immediately quarreled, and even quarreled directly, Wei Zheng really deserved to be the designated candidate for the future troll, monopolizing the ministers and not falling behind.

If Feng De is angry, he will roll up his sleeves and come forward to beat him.

Li Shimin originally agreed with the views of Feng Deyi, Chu Suiliang and others, but after hearing what Wei Zheng and Luo Xuanchen said, he thought that the two were very reasonable.

From the bottom of his heart, he believes that fighting the world and sitting in the world are different, so the experience of fighting the world is not necessarily right, so he is not superstitious about Fang Du and other think tanks.

He looked at Luo Su again and asked, "I wonder what the national teacher thinks?" If so, please speak and listen. ”

Here it comes!

The ministers in the hall all sat up right, and the people who were arguing just now sat down one after another, and now everyone can see that His Majesty attaches great importance to the opinions of the national teacher.

Luo Su showed a warm smile at Li Shimin and said: "The royal road is still domineering, it depends on the people, the king, the courtiers, and the people of the world."

The so-called hegemony, the king relies on playing power to control the court, uses violence to control his subordinates and the people, and uses severe punishment to make the world act according to his own thinking.

The so-called royal way, ruling the world with benevolence and righteousness, believing that morality can change the world, requires the king to set an example, restrain himself, like the sun, illuminate and drive the people around him, sweep away the darkness, and finally spread to the people of the world.

Seeing his life and death, he couldn't bear to see his death, and he couldn't bear to see his cruelty, so he used the king's own morality to influence the ministers, and finally let the world obey.

Which do you want, Son of Heaven? ”

Li Shimin listened to it and said without hesitation: "The royal road! ”

Luo Su smiled slightly, Luo Xuanye was still drinking tea without his own business, but he was not surprised by Li Shimin's choice.

Seeing this, Li Shimin asked curiously: "The national teacher doesn't seem to be surprised by my choice at all?" ”

Luo Su asked rhetorically: "The Son of Heaven is twenty and seven this year, since the age of sixteen officially began to walk the world as the son of Taiyuan, eleven years, although you have occasionally had a domineering trip, but from the bottom of your heart, you have always acted in the royal way, today you make a choice, why should I be strange?"

This is what you want in your heart, haven't you understood your heart after years of heart refining?

Look at the ministers in this palace, how many of them are you using power tricks to entrap you?

And how many of them are you treating people with sincerity and making them follow you willingly?

You look at their current status and glory.

Isn't this because you remember their merits and affection?

If you are really allowed to take the road of hegemony and let you use power against these people, can you really do it?

You are a person who was born to take the royal road, you have outstanding talents, you can walk the royal road, since you have chosen to decide, do not hesitate. ”

Luo Su's series is not only to mention Li Shimin, but also to the ministers in the palace, it is your luck to meet Li Shimin, the king, since this is the case, don't make trouble.

As for whether anyone will listen, yes, but it won't be all, people's hearts are always insufficient, Luo Su took a preventive shot in advance to prevent these people from harming Li Shimin's avenue in the future.

Li Shimin smiled heartily and said: "I want to share wealth with Zhuqing, this is my promise, and mountains and rivers can't erase my words, so this is the royal way?"

It seems that I am indeed a king who was born to follow the path of kingship.

According to what the national teacher said, my Tang Dynasty wants to implement the royal road and benevolent government, and all the secretaries have taken this as an entry and presented a letter to me.

Since the national teacher has such a grand statement, he must know a lot about the politics of the royal road, and I would like to hear it in detail. ”

Luo Su only wanted to formulate a big policy, and he didn't want to pay much attention to the subtleties of it, but since Li Shimin asked, he said, "Treat the thin endowment lightly, simplify the administration and leniency, and rectify the rule of officials."

These three are all for the people, the so-called royal road, but the four words 'people-oriented', as long as the Son of Heaven and the ministers have the people in their hearts, how can they not know how to do it?

Needless to say, the ruler of the Sui Dynasty is one and a half times that of the Han Dynasty, and the bucket of the Sui Dynasty is twice that of the Han Dynasty.

In the early Han Dynasty, after the rebellion and the killing of the first evil, the rest of the people were exiled, but later the punishment became more and more severe, it is not necessary to say that the people, the murderer died, there is nothing to blame, but many punishments are punished by death, it is not necessary, the abolition of corporal punishment is urgent, and the sentence of exile and hard labor should be reasonable.

Needless to say, the rule of the rectification of officials has become a trend of bribery during the Wude period, and it cannot be established if it is not rectified, and as for the rest, it will be discussed by the ministers. ”

Li Shimin listened to Luo Su's words, his face became solemn, and he said loudly: "Zhuqing listens to the order!" ”

The ministers in the hall stood up in an uproar and said in unison: "Obey the order!" ”

Li Shimin put his hand on the armrest of the dragon's head, full of majesty and nobility, and said loudly: "The Chinese book system."

From today onwards, I, Datang, will follow the royal road, take benevolence as the center, select stories in history, engrave them in a picture album, and convey the states and counties, so that every state in Datang can know the theme of the imperial court.

Tell the history of the assassination of all states, and all the priority is to be benevolent, simplified, and lenient, and to take this as a merit and a result! ”

The ministers were solemn and said in unison again: "Obey the order!" ”

This is the first time in the history of the central imperial court that it has clearly put forward requirements for the performance of officials at all levels, and clearly set requirements for officials, such a strong political signal, if anyone still pretends not to know, it is really looking for death.

……

Luosu lives in the Imperial City.

Lingtian Pavilion.

After the end of the first political conference in the first year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin came here and said something that was inconvenient for the courtiers to hear, "Duke Wen, I saw that you didn't seem to have anything to say just now, I don't know what to say. ”

After Luo Su glanced at Li Shimin for a few moments, he said slowly: "I once had a student who later became the king of Zhou Zhao, a famous holy king in the history of Bang Zhou.

But what makes me feel very sorry is that his talent is not top-notch, his military ability is almost non-existent, and in politics, he is step-by-step and has great flaws, and I love him very much.

And you are different, your talent is very high, and you can fight the world, which has proven your ability in martial arts.

If you can prove the ability of Wen Yifang, you are a perfect saint king.

And you haven't had any flaws in your life so far, so I want to do something.

Several emperors in the early days of the Han Dynasty were all excellent.

Liu Bang's military ability is not as good as yours, but he is also very good, and he treats abundant heroes as benevolent and righteous, and he is open-minded by nature, and he can still laugh and scold in the face of life and death, and say what is the destiny of heaven.

Liu Ying is a little mediocre, but he treats people with sincerity, has a group of courtiers who are loyal to him to the death, and the righteousness of the monarch and ministers left behind is enough to serve as a model for future generations.

Liu Heng can perfectly inherit the political pattern left by Luoxin, and can further develop instead of just keeping it, and even not collect taxes in many areas, which is almost an irreproducible miracle in terms of cultural governance.

Liu Che played a very strong role in the thorough shaping of the great unification, and also completely rebuilt the Siyi system and defeated the Xiongnu.

These four kings each have their own merits, each of which is enough to set an example for future generations, but from another point of view, they all have obvious shortcomings, if it was before, it may be regarded as a thorn.

But you appeared, have you ever thought about becoming a holy king who combines the advantages of these four people?

If you can, you will be the First Saint King that no one can surpass, and you will truly surpass the Ancestor! ”

Luo Su exists in the world, there is nothing worldly that can make him happy, he only has the glory of the family and the glory of Zhuxia in his heart, and now he wants to teach an unprecedented holy king.

Li Shimin only felt that his blood was gushing when he heard it, and coincidentally, Li Shimin was not particularly keen on others, but he had an obsession with becoming a Ming monarch, and he couldn't refuse to become a holy king at all, and he had always demanded himself with Yao Shun, the legendary holy king.

And what could be more attainable than the teachings of an ancient sage who had really taught the Holy King?

What could be more convincing than the great-great-grandson of King Su?

What could be closer to those ancient sage kings than an ancient sage minister during the reign of three generations?

In the middle of Luo Su's speech, he wanted to interrupt Luo Su to say that he wanted to, but he forcibly restrained himself, and as soon as Luo Su finished speaking, he immediately nodded frantically and said: "Duke Wen, the only thing I admire in this life is the way of the Holy King, and I ask Duke Wen to teach me." ”

Luo Su smiled and said, "You are the Saint King now. ”

？

Although Li Shimin was very happy to hear Luo Su say this, he didn't listen to people praise him, but really wanted to listen to the advice, Luo Su said softly: "You are now involuntarily abiding by the way of the Holy King, I will record your advantages one by one, and then tell you, it is enough for you to stick to these all the time."

Life, you are persistent, it is easy to be holy for a while, but it is difficult to be holy in a lifetime, how many people are not guaranteed in the late season, this is human nature, it is easy to be arrogant and lascivious when you are rich, it is easy to be complacent when you are successful, it is easy to relax when you are depressed, and everything is resting when you are loose.

You have a rare merit in you, and that is reasoning with people who are weaker than you. ”

Yes?

Li Shimin was a little confused, "Be reasonable? ”

What's the merit here?

Luo Su said with emotion: "Because only a reasonable king can accept advice, because only when the king is reasonable, the courtiers dare to speak, and the courtiers dare to speak, so that they will not block the way of speech."

Only when the king is reasonable, the courtiers know what can be done, and not suddenly lose their lives without knowing when.

Only when the king is reasonable, can there be clear politics between the monarch and the minister, and Liu Ying, the emperor of Hanrenzong, is very reasonable.

It is a strange thing for a king to be reasonable.

Think about how many times in your twenty-seven years of life have you been attached to your heart because of reasoning.

The merits in you are simply born to be prepared to become a holy king. ”

Now Li Shimin understood, he walked in circles in the hall, smashed his fist in his palm, and said with a palm: "Duke Wen."

Is this the so-called, the affairs of the world, there is no escape from a single word?

As long as the king is always upright, he will always be able to occupy the right position, and he will not need to use intrigue and trickery, but will be able to do things in an upright manner.

This truth is not just the law, but human feelings, but the human heart, as long as I am right in the human heart, even if I sometimes break the law, there is no problem.

It's like I killed my big brother and I staged a coup d'état, which doesn't sound right, but in reality I didn't face much opposition, because in the hearts of people, I was right.

I see!

I see!

To be a king is to be righteous in the hearts of men! ”

It's really teachable!

It is comfortable to get along with a king like Li Shimin, and Luo Su said: "Another point of becoming a holy king is to restrain your desires.

It's hard, it's harder than it's for you to admonish.

Once the rich people of the land are rich and want to enjoy bliss, how much more can the king?

Sitting at the highest end of the world, almost all desires can be satisfied, and almost everything in the world is taken and desired.

In most people's eyes, this is even a matter of course, and in this case, it is too difficult to restrain desires.

But restraining one's desires is the most crucial point of becoming a holy king. ”

Restrain your desires.

Li Shimin coughed lightly twice, which was indeed a little difficult for him, he sat back opposite Luo Su and asked, "Duke Wen, this desire, does it count as a beauty?" ”

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson are indeed affectionate, but there are indeed a lot of people in his harem, and meat and vegetables are not taboo, Luo Su felt quite funny when he heard this, "Love beauty is not counted, as long as there are not tens of millions of people in the palace, nothing can be done, dozens of beauties, this is the etiquette that the Son of Heaven should have." ”

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, since beauty was not counted, he asked with a straight face: "Then the desire that Duke Wen said is to build a palace and so on."

Gong Wen rest assured, Emperor Yang of Sui learned from the past, and I was deeply frightened.

I am the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, there is no dynasty without me, there is no dynasty without the people, there is no dynasty, the old saying is like a boat, the people are like water, I deeply think.

Using the method of exploiting and oppressing the people to worship the king is like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty building a dragon boat and finally dying the country, which is like cutting off one's own flesh to satisfy one's hunger, and when he is full, the person dies.

The granary built by Emperor Wen of Sui, the grain in it can't be eaten for 50 years, these are all to deceive the people's grain storage, but when the people are hungry, he does not use it for disaster relief, and allows the people to fend for themselves.

The king's desire is too great, so he has to increase taxes, and if the taxes are increased, the people will not be able to live, the people will not survive, the country will be destroyed, and the country will be destroyed, and I, the king, will fall into the same fate as Emperor Yang.

I often take Emperor Yang of Sui as a lesson, and I will never make those mistakes of him, and please rest assured that if I am incorrect in the future, please point out that Gong Wen. ”

From Li Shimin's words, Luo Su knew that the shadow left by Emperor Yang of Sui was too heavy.

The same is the second generation of kings.

is also the second son.

The same is an abnormal enthronement.

He was too afraid of going to the footsteps of Emperor Yang of Sui.

In Luo Su's view, this is a good thing, and most people will not learn any lessons from history, but Li Shimin has obviously learned a profound lesson from Emperor Yang of Sui.

"But ......"

Li Shimin suddenly hesitated and hesitated.

Seeing this, Luo Su immediately asked, "Do you want to ask about the Emperor Taishang?" ”

Seeing that Luo Su saw it, Li Shimin nodded and sighed: "On the day of the reward, the Emperor Taishang went to play, so I led the ministers in the Taiji Palace, but after all, it was the palace of the Emperor Taishang.

I think that the Emperor Taishang has lived in the Taiji Hall for a long time, and I, as the Son of Heaven, have lived in the old East Palace, which does not show that I am in the right position in the world.

And it will make people all over the world think of Xuanwumen from time to time. ”

This is indeed a problem.

Luo Su thought for a while and then said, "Son of Heaven, I have a word, and you can listen to it.

I know that during these years, the Emperor Taishang favored Prince Yin, wanted to end your political life, and even wanted to end your life, which caused your father-son relationship to almost break down, and you have a lot of resentment towards him in your heart.

But my suggestion is that you take the initiative to repair this relationship, you can ask the Emperor Taishang to move out of the Taiji Palace, and this matter can be done by Pingyang and Xuanye, but you don't do anything that you regret and regret. ”

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, but he didn't take these words to heart, he is still young now, and he can't understand Li Yuan's feelings in the face of the dispute between his two sons.

Luo Su saw Li Shimin's psychology and sighed secretly, Li Shimin's love and hatred were too strong.

This is certainly his advantage in becoming a Saint King, but it is also one of his weaknesses.

Although Li Shimin didn't want to take the initiative to repair the relationship with Li Yuan, he still kept in mind what Luo Su said about letting Pingyang and Luo Xuanye persuade Li Yuan, and when he found a suitable opportunity, he asked Li Yuan to "take the initiative" to let the Taiji Hall out.

Since ancient times, the south has been king!

The dignified son of heaven, what is the matter with always staying in the East Palace, it's just funny.

And Li Shimin still didn't say it, but Luo Su tacitly meant, that is, he was going to completely start liquidating the policies of the Wude period.

Zhenguan is a New Deal, what is a New Deal?

Naturally, the previous policies were changed, and in Li Shimin's view, the Tang Dynasty during the Wude period was gloomy, and it was completely different from the Sui Dynasty, and there was no glorious atmosphere of the new dynasty at all.

To establish a new atmosphere belonging to the Zhenguan Dynasty, the first thing is to bring out the gloom and mistakes of the Wude Dynasty, and then change them one by one.

He wants to completely draw a clear line with the old politics of martial arts, in order to show his own wisdom and martial arts, in order to show the grandeur of Zhenguan, which is naturally a slap in the face of Li Yuan, but Li Shimin must do this.

The political reckoning is cruel, and the political legacy left by Li Yuan will almost be swept into the garbage heap of history by Li Shimin.

Luo Su acquiesced to this, because he also felt that the political legacy of Li Yuan's Wude Dynasty was lackluster, after all, during the entire Wude period, the first half of the country was fighting the world, and the main thing in internal affairs was to cooperate with Li Shimin's conquest.

In the second half, Li Yuan is maintaining the balance between the crown prince and the king of Qin, and the Tang Dynasty is constantly fighting among themselves, in this case, how can there be anything important enough to affect the emergence of policies in the future?

……

After Li Shimin left the Lingtian Pavilion, he immediately went to find Luo Xuanye to come, he hoped to let Li Yuan move out of the Taiji Hall as soon as possible, and his Zhenguan New Policy should be promulgated in the Taiji Palace.

Luo Xuanye hurried from the county king's mansion to the palace, and when Li Shimin saw him coming, he was not polite, and immediately said: "Xuanye, I have a big matter to hand over to you." ”

"Let the Emperor Taishang move out of the Taiji Palace?"

Luo Xuanye was shocked when he heard this, and then immediately reacted, why did Li Shimin do this.

"Xuanye, okay?"

Luo Xuanye frowned, and said slowly: "Yes, but there are some problems that Your Majesty has to solve." ”

"You say."

————

"The royal road is benevolent".

This is the first expectation of the Tang monarchs and ministers in the first year of Zhenguan for the future of the world, and this is the first plan for the Tang Empire that the mysterious national teacher Luo Su appeared in the Tang Dynasty political arena, which is only the tip of the iceberg of his grand blueprint.

……

The fundamental reason why Li Shimin stood out from the saint kings, "no ancient saint king is inferior", is that he does not think that as a king, he has unlimited power and prestige.

……

"He stood in the Taiji Palace, all the people kowtowed to him, the blazing and bright light sprinkled on him, he was not domineering, but bowed his head, there was a great road in front of him, called the way of the holy king, at the end of the road there was a picture scroll, and the people drank and had fun in it, called Zhenguan." ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Tang Dynasty"
