Chapter 283: Xiao Jiu, study hard~

Regarding Empress Dowager Dou's fragmented thoughts about Huang Laoxue, Tianzi Qi, Empress Jia and Mrs. Bo, who were sitting in the hall, nodded again and again.

It's just that how much you listen to and how much you agree with is different.

-- As for the questions of 'what doctrine is more suitable for governing the country' and 'what doctrine can govern the society better', Mrs. Bo and Empress Jia themselves are not very interested.

It's just that these words came from the mouth of the Empress Dowager Dou, and the two of them politely 'sat upright' and listened attentively.

Then there is Queen Jia, although she is not interested in these things, and she does not dare to be interested, but now that she is a queen, she always has to force herself to listen to it.

After all, for today's Han family, the queen is the queen mother's prince.

As for Tianzi Qi, he obviously has an extremely mature and firm personal position on such an issue.

In just three or two sentences, it is obviously impossible to change the influence and judgment of the Son of Heaven on a certain doctrine or school.

For these, Empress Dowager Dou obviously didn't care very much;

While praising Huang Laoxue's various advantages and strengths, Empress Dowager Dou was loving, gentle, and had a little serious gaze, but she never moved away from Liu Sheng's face.

After a long stick of incense, Empress Dowager Dou finally stopped praising Huang Lao's infinite praise.

At the end of Empress Dowager Dou's words, Liu Sheng, who was kneeling beside Empress Dowager Dou, finally straightened his face completely, and put on a posture of 'listening to the teachings of the emperor's grandmother'.

And Empress Dowager Dou's final concluding speech also gave birth to one after another feelings in Liu Sheng's heart, and a deeper understanding of Huang Lao's theory.

"Speaking of all kinds here, it is nothing more than one sentence: Huang Lao governs the country, governs it with nothing, pays light taxes, and recuperates with the people;"

"In this way of governing the country, even if the local county and county officials do nothing, the people can get a respite and slowly improve their situation."

"——In other words, this governance and governance is not about doing something to govern the world better."

"Many times, the more the government wants to do something, the more it will make the people miserable."

"So, unless you are really strong enough and have full confidence in what you are about to do, you should not easily change the existing order."

"It's better to be still than to move."

"If you are quiet, you will be safe; If it moves, it will be chaotic. ”

"At the end of the story, it is actually a sentence in the mouths of the people: if it is not really necessary, it is ······ toss"

After saying these last words, Empress Dowager Dou did not forget to turn sideways slightly, and pointed to Tianzi Qi beside her with a smile.

"Just like back then, when the emperor just sat on the throne, he had to rush to use the wrong "Cutting Domain";

"——Cutting the feudal domain, because if you don't cut it again, the clan relatives and princes will die in the society of my Han family."

"Therefore, even if it is the danger of social subversion and chaos in the world, this domain must be cut."

···

"In the future, when Xiao Jiu encounters something, he must also think about it according to this line of thought."

"——Is the situation so serious that back then, when the emperor inherited the throne, the princes of the Kwantung clan were so big that they were ready to move outside the Hangu Pass?"

"If it is, then it should be the same as the emperor back then, make a decision immediately, and treat a serious illness with fierce medicine!"

"If it is not so serious, but it has also begun to shake the foundation of the temple and the community, then it should be done step by step."

"If something doesn't bring any drawbacks or hidden dangers, or you can't see the other side of the possibility for the time being, then there is no need to rush to change."

"This is especially true when it comes to the livelihood of farmers, the collection of taxes, taxes, and the conscription of labor."

···

"These are all things I once heard from Emperor Xiaowen of the former Taizong."

"It is through such a statecraft that Emperor Taizong has won the love of all the people in the world."

"Xiao Jiu is now the crown prince;"

"In the future, I will definitely take over the mantle of the emperor and be the parent of the people of the world."

"—Parents will take matters related to their children's livelihood seriously;"

"Being an emperor is actually the same thing······"

As Empress Dowager Dou's last words came out, only a slight exhalation sound sounded in the Changxin Palace.

It was as if before, everyone didn't dare to breathe because the Empress Dowager Dou was educating Liu Sheng - it wasn't until the Empress Dowager Dou finished speaking that everyone who had subconsciously held their breath before finally exhaled a long breath.

And after Empress Dowager Dou said these last words, Liu Sheng, who was kneeling on the imperial couch, frowned thoughtfully······

"Rule ······ by doing nothing"

"If it's not really necessary, don't toss ······"

The murmur on her face was gloomy, which only caused the Empress Dowager Dou to be slightly stunned;

After a while, with a gentle smile, he stretched out his hand and gently touched the top of Liu Sheng's head.

"If you don't understand anything, just ask."

"I'm here, it's not as good as the emperor's Xuan Room~"

"When Xiao Jiu arrives in this Changxin Palace, there is no need to talk about any false etiquette such as monarchs and ministers, fathers, fathers and sons······"

seemed to be casual, but also had a deep meaning, and provoked the Son of Heaven on the side to move slightly.

Seeing that Liu Sheng was still immersed in his own thoughts, he frowned and thought for a while before raising his head in confusion.

"The meaning of the imperial grandmother, the grandson understands."

"- Whenever the government wants to do something, it must be done by the people."

"For example, taxes, taxes, and labor are all levied and conscripted from the people when the government wants to do something."

"Therefore, unless the benefits of doing this thing are greater than the taxes and labor that are levied and levied on the people when doing this, this thing should not be done—at least it should not be done in a hurry."

"But when the imperial grandmother talks about this, the grandson thinks of Uncle Tian Tian Ziqing, who is also from Huang Laoxue, and is about to become an internal history."

"In the past few years, because of Chao's mistake in the internal history of 'ruling by inaction', all kinds of affairs near Chang'an have gradually shown a trend of laziness and messiness;"

"Let Uncle Tian do the internal history, precisely to change this situation, so that Jingzhao and even Guanzhong under the governance of internal history can get back on track."

"But after doing the internal history, Uncle Tian is also like what the emperor's grandmother just said, pursuing the rule of inaction, and paying attention to a 'less toss if you don't have toss' ······"

Speaking of this, Liu Sheng stopped talking at the right time and once again cast his confused gaze on Empress Dowager Dou.

After hearing Liu Sheng's explanation, Empress Dowager Dou only felt a little at ease, and the faint worry that had sprung up between her eyebrows before also quietly dissipated at this moment.

As for Liu Sheng's question, it is obviously difficult to be able to help but be familiar with the Empress Dowager Dou in the early years, beside the Empress Dowager Lu, in that turbulent era······

"Doing nothing does not mean saying that you don't care about anything and don't ask anything."

"—No matter if you don't ask, that's not called inaction, it's called incompetence."

"Most of the officials who are really born in Huang Lao and have studied Huang Lao's inaction will not be incompetent."

"When governing the people, although these people do nothing most of the time, they will always pay attention to the situation under their rule."

"When the people live and work in peace and contentment, they will sit comfortably in the high hall and say: The way of inaction;"

"Under this premise, even if something sensational happens, they will indifferently say: If the law does not prohibit it, there is no blame."

"But if the situation under their rule begins to develop in the direction of chaos and turmoil, they will change their former peace and become capable ministers and officials who are cooler than the Legalists, and even more impressive."

"——Because in Huang Lao's theory, immediately followed by 'Huang Lao Wuwei', there is a sentence: Wu Wei, and everything is done······"

Slowly explained to Liu Sheng the difference between 'Huang Lao Wuwei' and 'lazy and lazy government', and Empress Dowager Dou didn't forget to straighten up a little and look at Empress Jia who was a little farther away.

Although he didn't explicitly say, 'These words, the queen should also listen to them', but the posture he put on was clearly such an intention.

"Huang Laoxue, the good thing is that as long as you learn, then whether it is a handsome or a mediocre talent, you can manage something and a place step by step."

"This is true for officials to govern the people, for courtiers to govern like this, and for the queen mother and queen to govern the harem."

"-Don't make many changes, but always pay attention, as long as there is no turmoil, try not to care;"

"When the situation is about to get out of control, then solve all the problems in one fell swoop, and even the people who caused the problems."

"This is the truth that Huang Lao does nothing, and he does everything······"

···

After Empress Dowager Dou's last breeze, but inexplicably chilling words, the Changxin Hall fell into a twinky silence for twenty breaths.

Whether it is on the royal couch, Tianzi Qi and Prince Sheng, who are sitting on both sides of the Empress Dowager Dou, or Queen Jia and Mrs. Bo who are sitting next to each other in the palace, all look at the head of the throne, and the old figure that has risen due to old age.

Empress Dowager Dou is actually not too old.

At least in the royal family, such a woman in her fifties should not be such a furrowed face, full of sideburns, and a rickety back.

But at this moment, several people got a very unique temperament from this old woman.

Although this unique and awe-inspiring, even fearful temperament, with the words of the Empress Dowager Dou, it disappeared in a flash······

"Xiao Jiu, do you understand?"

After a long time, when the Empress Dowager Dou asked questions again, she had already returned to her previous loving, amiable and gentle face.

Hearing this, Liu Sheng finally nodded respectfully, and bowed to the Empress Dowager Dou in a proper manner.

"Grandson, thank you for your grandmother's teachings."

"What I heard today, my grandson will remember it in my heart, but if there is still a breath, I will never dare to forget a word!"

solemn oath, but only provoked the Empress Dowager Dou to chuckle and shake her head, groped and stretched out her hand, then pulled Liu Sheng to her side, and lay down on Empress Dowager Dou's legs again.

After the ancestors and grandchildren returned to their previous sitting and lying postures again, the Empress Dowager Dou smiled and sighed lightly, and then looked out of the hall aimlessly.

"Uncle Tian Tian Ziqing is looking at the world, and he is also one of the best old men and sages in my Han family today."

"If you only talk about Huang Laoxue, Tian Shu Tian Ziqing's reputation and attainments in Huang Lao's first learning are unsurpassed."

"-Even my brother Zhang Wuhou, when he came to his uncle Tian Ziqing, he had to perform the junior salute and give him the honorific title: Ziqing Gong."

···

"As for that Tian Ziqing, he has nothing to say about Xiao Jiu's arrangement, and it's not because he is easy to talk to."

"-If Xiao Jiu behaves nonsense, then Tian Ziqing should dare to teach me and the emperor a good lesson for disdainful descendants;"

"It's only because of Xiao Jiu's proper arrangement and the approval of me and the emperor that he, Tian Ziqing, will be so easy to speak."

"In this pass, Uncle Tian will manage it well."

"Today, my Han family has no one who is more suitable for internal history than Tian Shu Tian Ziqing, who can better suppress Chang'an's meritorious and noble places, who can reassure the emperor more, and who can reduce the obstacles to Xiao Jiu's affairs······"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng nodded again, indicating that he understood.

Subsequently, the Empress Dowager Dou still maintained her previous sitting posture - Liu Sheng still pillowed her legs, still scattered her eyes outside the hall, but began to ask about the Son of Heaven.

"The internal history is decided, what about the other positions?"

"Shaofu, you have to pick a suitable person."

"Don't look for someone who is neither big nor small, and can't hold the weight, and cause trouble for my grandchildren······"

"—That's what the Queen Mother said."

"——Erchen's meaning: Liu She, the servant Taohou, seems to be the best choice?"

"Oh······"

"Liu She, ······"

"Although the ability is not great, it is good to be loyal;"

"Then he'······"

···

"Liu She has become a young man, so is it too servant?"

"—Servant, Erchen decided to use Yuan An."

"——Previously, Yuan Ang was assassinated in Chang'an, and the queen mother has always felt guilty and wants to make amends;"

"——This time Jiuqing was transferred, the servant was vacant, and Yuan An's talent was enough to serve as the servant······"

"Alas~"

"My guilt for Yuan Ang is because of King Liang."

"As a result, it became the emperor's ······ to make up for Yuan An"

"My old face ······"

"——The queen mother is heavy, and the words are ······"

···

"What about the others?"

"The Imperial Servant, Neishi, and Shaofu have all moved, so it's better to take this opportunity to move other positions as well;"

"Among the nine kings of the dynasty, there is more than one Shaofu ······ who is not worthy of the name and is not worthy of the post."

"—That's what the Queen Mother said."

"-Erchen also plans to let the court captain Zhang Ou go to the local county to experience it;"

"——For the position of court lieutenant that remains, choose a person who can meet the requirements and can deal with the affairs of court lieutenant."

"—Preferably, choose a ······ who is well versed in the 'law'"

"Hmm~"

"Zhang Ou is too soft-hearted to be a court lieutenant."

"The position of Tingwei should have been changed a long time ago, that is, the emperor is too soft-hearted and remembers the friendship of the past······"

"Since you have a plan, then the emperor, make up your own mind."

"The mess left by Zhang Ou to Tingwei is no less than what Chao Cuo left for Neishi, how much less is it······"
