Chapter 168: See the Prince

He Xi opened his mouth and thought for a long time.

With a sigh, there was nothing to say.

It's not that He Xi did it reasonably, but that the ideas and logic of the two sides and the ideological system are not at the same level at all, and they can't talk or communicate at all.

The imperial court should not speak for profit, this is the view of Confucianism. What the imperial court should do to maintain order in the world and educate the people, how can it talk about interests, this is completely unreasonable. But what is the essence of socialism? It is the government that takes the initiative to participate in socialized large-scale production and maintain the balance of large-scale social production. Whether it is macro-control or other aspects. It's all about interests. Otherwise, there would be no GDP-only theory.

Now, even if you don't talk about it, these things are too lofty.

Even the administrative system also has to check the cost, how can you not talk about it? If we don't talk about the benefits themselves, there is a huge waste.

He Xi said: "The old man is right, but His Majesty has already handed over this matter to me. Don't worry about it. Of course, the boss really has any ideas to play the court. ”

Liu Sanwu took a deep look at He Xi's general chapter. Then he put it down and said, "Okay." Then don't bother Lord He. ”

Immediately, Liu Sanwu got up to leave.

After all, now everyone understands what the other party means, and has had a full and friendly communication, although it has not been effective at all.

In that case, there is no point in continuing to communicate.

It's time for something else.

He Xi said: "Slow, there is one thing, I want to discuss one or two with the boss." ”

Liu Sanwu said: "Oh? I don't know what's going on. ”

He Xi said: "It's not something else, it's just a matter of repairing history." So, He Xi told him that he was going to arrange for Su Boheng to preside over the history of Xiuyuan.

Liu Sanwu immediately frowned.

He glanced at He Xi deeply. For He Xi's sinister intentions, I dare not say that I understand everything. But at least half of it is understood. He said indifferently: "This matter is not up to me. If you have the heart to play the court, you can. The imperial court has its own opinions. ”

He Xi replied to this. Not unexpected.

What can't be called the shots.

This sentence is not true or wrong.

It's right to say you can't call the shots. There is nothing wrong with revising history as a major event, so it is natural to be on the top.

But Liu Sanwu, as the head of the Hanlin Academy, if he plays, he will almost 100% approve it. Even if there is resistance, there is not much. But He Xi played, it is not impossible. But there are some flaws in the program. But it doesn't matter, the power itself can override the procedure.

It's just that it's not quite right after all.

The two sides are already on opposite sides, and it is naturally impossible to count on Liu Sanwu to help.

Of course, He Xi did this just to say hello. After all, it is not in line with the rules of officialdom to interfere in the affairs of the Hanlin Academy by crossing the head of the Hanlin Academy, but if Liu Sanwu does not agree, it is another matter.

------

Liu Sanwu returned to his duty room. Immediately began to write, and wrote down what he had from He Xi's manuscript.

It's not much, but it's just a few pages. Of course, I didn't see it all, but it was enough. Because He Xi's general chapter carries out the program, everything He Xi wants to express has been included. As for the other minutiae. Can be put down.

There are many unforgivable and uncompromising things in this general chapter.

Liu Sanwu looked at these pages and was silent for a while. Suddenly getting up, he decided to go to see the prince.

In his opinion, only the crown prince can change His Majesty's mind and not plunge the world into turmoil.

------

If he could, the prince didn't want to see Liu Sanwu.

Especially at this time.

It's just a lot of things, it's not a question of whether he wants to or not, Liu Sanwu's academic character, the prince respects him very much, and even Liu Sanwu has given lectures to the prince, and the prince also values this kind of teacher-student status, and has always respected Liu Sanwu very much.

Originally, the prince let Liu Sanwu eat a closed-door soup, but he didn't want Liu Sanwu to sit down at the gate of the East Palace and not leave.

Naturally, there are people coming in and out of the gate of the East Palace. Liu Sanwu is like this, but it can spread all over the capital in a moment.

The crown prince still wants to be famous. Reputation is important. I also know that I can't hide, so I can only see him.

Soon, Liu Sanwu was standing in front of the prince.

How to salute, omitted.

The prince said: "Lone has been feeling cold recently. I was unwell, and I was afraid that I would be sick to my husband, so I didn't see it. It's just that I don't know if the old gentleman has anything to do with Lonely. ”

Liu Sanwu said: "Your Majesty, be sympathetic, the old minister is very grateful, but the old minister's body is still strong, and he can't die for a while." Moreover, the old minister is old, and death is not a big deal. It's just that there is one thing related to the foundation of the world, the inheritance of Taoism, and the old minister has no choice but to disturb His Highness. I also ask for your forgiveness. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Sanwu handed over a few pieces of paper in his hand and presented them with both hands.

Immediately, a little eunuch handed it to the prince.

The prince took it and looked at it, frowning slightly. After reading it, he said, "No." ”

Liu Sanwu said: "This is the Da Ming Law drafted by He Xi, in which the words of great rebellion abound. There are even many conflicts with the previous Ming national law, which hurt the foundation of the world, and the old minister had to come forward to His Royal Highness, and he was in the middle of life and fire and water. ”

Although the prince first saw the provisions drafted by He Xi, he was not surprised. After all, He Xi's legal provisions are not fabricated out of thin air. It is based on the law of the Ming Dynasty, and the reality of the Ming Dynasty, and some advanced ideas of later generations.

The prince has seen everything on both sides.

Therefore, the crown prince did not feel that there was anything strange about it. It's just that He Xi is in a sense of proportion, and the prince agrees with it a little, and disagrees with it. But by and large, there is no opposition.

In other words, from the very beginning, the crown prince did not dare to object. As for his understanding of what is in it, it has nothing to do with whether he understands it or not. Because the prince never dared to resist Zhu Yuanzhang. It was, it is, and it will probably be.

The prince even understood Liu Sanwu a little, but he didn't have Liu Sanwu's courage. He sighed and said, "Boss, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Liu Sanwu said: "The imperial court governs the country with propriety, not by the rule of law. And He Xi's idea is fundamentally the way of Legalism. Even if He Xi's law is too much, no matter how perfect it is, it is extremely cumbersome, it costs the people and money, and it can't be implemented, it is also in vain, the Qin law was the most strict back then, and the second died, and the Han Gaozu had three chapters of the law. Then the world is determined, and it can be seen that the law is simple and flat. Folk music is for use. Instead of these cumbersome and strict laws, to put it mildly, who is this for. Will the common people watch it? ”

Liu Sanwu is right.

Right.

Productive forces and production relations are mutually adaptable. He Xi's formulation of the law naturally contains some things that Liu Sanwu cannot refute. For example, pay attention to people's livelihood. Valuing the power of the people. The expansion of power at the bottom will suppress the power of the landlords or gentry.

But Liu Sanwu is not the kind to speak for these people.

It is true that most scholars could not transcend their own class. They may not have class consciousness, but they instinctively defend their own interests. However, there are some scholars and doctors who still do not regard their own interests as the priority, but put the interests of the world and the court first.

No matter what kind of ideas they uphold, most of the time, they are the backbone of the Chinese nation.

Even if Liu Sanwu is one of them, it doesn't matter whether his ideas are correct or not, the starting point of all his ideas is to start from the people and the world, not from his own selfish interests.

Liu Sanwu may not be able to understand the law of matching productive forces and production relations, but he keenly feels that He Xi's law cannot be implemented at all. It's a castle in the air. It's like a dream, but it has no roots.

The simpler the laws in the world, the better, and the simpler they are, the more they can reduce the cost of popularizing the law. Simplicity can be understood by more people. Simple, it is not easy to be distorted by the officials. Simple, I thought it was easy to implement.

As for the fact that the law is too simple, so that there are a large number of things that happen in reality, they are outside the provisions of the law, or in other words, do not completely coincide with the law, and there are still a large number of such cases. After all, when the laws of later generations are so sound, there are still a lot of legal blank areas, not to mention ancient times.
