Chapter 10 Scholarly Spirit
Shen Sanwen's experience is simple and complicated.
A boy whose job is to have fun.
But it's a little different from the capital.
First, he wants to walk around, not just in the capital, but all over the country.
Such a person is obviously not very talented.
Traveled all over the country and was nameless.
The second is his family, his status in the clan.
It's even more unpromising.
So Di Renjie felt that this person was not a big deal.
After all, what I just said is too concise.
For fear of missing out on talents, Di Renjie still decided to call this person to ask.
That's right, the other person from the Prince's Mansion is Di Renjie, the confidant of the Empress Wu, who just holds the brand of the Prince's Mansion and can't fight with the Prince's Eight Poles.
Empress Wu's love for Princess Taiping is really not covered, and the son-in-law specially called the person he trusted the most to take a look.
Xiao Er asked Shen San to ask and went upstairs.
Shen Sanwen was very surprised, he was very lucky, someone who was interested in him came, maybe he would be able to get out of the current predicament.
"Old man Dali Temple Cheng Di Renjie, I heard what Shen Xiaoyou said just now, but it is too concise, I don't know if I can talk about it in detail."
It seems that this Lingyun Pavilion is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there is one here.
"I wonder what the adults want to ask?"
Ask what to say, know everything, say everything, don't ask, don't say, say more wrong.
"How corruption finally came to power, the local government was controlled by the big families, although the legislation imposed heavy penalties, but there are also unfinished points. Most of the local officials put their own interests first, and they rely on the big family tree, and they are against the yang, how to explain it? ”
That's a big problem.
Supervision can indeed fight corruption, but without sufficient interest support, there is no special person to supervise, but it is easy to be corrupted. Ordinary people do not understand all kinds of inside information, and they are easily fooled, and there is no way to supervise even the benefits promised in the notice.
And this is an official-based world, if you want to supervise the official, I'm afraid that someone will scold you before you act.
Legislative, Executive, Judicial, Accountability.
In the current environment of Datang, the legislation has been completed, and the conviction and sentencing have been completed by Tang Law's deliberations.
However, those who enforce the law are unwilling to enforce the law, the judiciary is useless, and the accountability under the auspices of the emperor can be directly punished, which is incompatible with his own philosophy.
Power is in the hands of the family, whose children account for 80% of all officials, and the remaining 20% play a limited role.
Against this backdrop, anti-corruption is more of a slogan.
What can I do, I'm desperate.
"The kid has no talent and no virtue, I don't know what to do." Shen Sanwen replied cautiously.
This is an unsolvable proposition. The emperor needs the family to govern the world, and the family needs to better protect its own interests with the help of stable imperial power.
If anyone wants to fight corruption at this time, he has to work against all the families to a certain extent, and if he is really recommended by Di Renjie to become the pioneer of anti-corruption, he will become the pioneer of the revolution with blood and tears.
Therefore, it is better to coax a little bit, self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world, first of all, you have to solve your own problems, before you can talk about the family and the country in vain.
Lives matter.
"Could it be that Shen Gongzi thinks that there is no cure for corruption?" Di Renjie was very unhappy, watching Shen San ask and thinking for a long time, and didn't give an answer. As I said below, we need to use power to end power, and as soon as we come up, we don't know anything.
It's not called Shen Xiaoyou anymore.
"Since it is a disease, there is naturally a cure for it. Although there is a cure, the medicine is not in my hands. I am not a good doctor, and I cannot cure the great trouble of my family and country. "Let's have a showdown. Otherwise, he really thinks that I don't understand anything, and I'm not very good, and all my saliva will be wasted.
Di Renjie understood it. This is a mess, Shen San asked if he didn't want to bear it.
"The eldest husband should be for the country and the people, and Shen Gongzi reads sage books, and is he unwilling to apply what he has learned? Could it be that Shen Gongzi never thought of making a career, so what's the use of studying like this? ”
Di Renjie was furious.
Originally, Di Renjie was still very relieved to hear Shen Sanwen's narration, and recognized his insight to a certain extent, but when he heard that he was bent on getting out and reading the books of sages, he was bent on being an idler, unwilling to make a contribution to the country and the people, and he kept hiding it. It's just that where to show off your knowledge, it's really angry.
Shen San asked for a moment.
This is originally a clean official who is not afraid of the powerful, does not bend the law for personal gain, and has spoken out many times to seek benefits for the people.
In his concept, studying is to serve the country, and to be an official is to seek well-being for the people and assist the Ming monarch.
But that's not what I think.
And I don't have that ability.
Or let the others retreat first, Shen San asked and spoke.
"Master Di, there are six kinds of corruption crimes in the "Tang Law", which are in the law of the service system, the law of thieves and thieves, and the miscellaneous law, although it stipulates strict punishments, but the law does not attach importance to this, stipulating that household registration, military service, and brawls can be separate chapters, but corruption is mixed in three chapters, and it is mentioned in one stroke. Legislation is wrong.
The big family controls the local government and politics for the sake of the family's interests, and it is inevitable that everything cannot be implemented fairly, and the interests of various ethnic groups are intertwined, and it is inevitable for officials to protect each other. Regardless of the size of the position, fat or thin, it has become a rule, and when you take office, you need to take care of the Quartet and the chief, and it is difficult to move an inch without money. The benefits of the vacancy must be taken, otherwise it will be difficult to settle the account books of the former officials; There are many arrogant people in the family, and it is necessary to accept gifts when committing crimes, otherwise the friendship between all ethnic groups will be destroyed. There are those who fill their private pockets, there are those who open the door to family business, and there are those who receive money because of things. This difficulty in law enforcement, even if you have the intention to seek benefits for the people, you must also sit firmly in your position, and bribery is inevitable.
The palace, the procuratorate, and the Taiwan court, supervise the Quartet, in fact, there is a shortage of manpower, unable to penetrate into the state government, insufficient authority and unable to supervise the implementation of various finances and taxes, in a virtual form, the central government still has all parties to supervise, can not make profits from it, but the chief does not need to do anything, his own filial piety can be taken. There is no judiciary in the region.
Nowadays, the government and the opposition sing praises to virtue, and they all think that the politics are clear, and the king also knows it in his heart. Legislation, law enforcement, and justice, Datang has all failed, how can I turn things around with my own strength.
If you want to break the situation, you can only eliminate the power of the family to govern, open up the wisdom of the people, educate the people, take the imperial examination, and replace it with students from poor families. and torture to dig into the intricate relationships of the family and create job vacancies. It's the work of a generation. Even if you can govern one state and one county, how can you not be hated by the family, stand in peace, and how can you ensure the long-term peace and stability of the state and county magistrates.
The situation does not change because of one person. If you want to carry out reforms, you also understand the current situation, and you should choose a clear ruler and take power. Three questions and one scholar, how can he take on a big responsibility if he is not guaranteed? has the intention to kill the thief, but is incapable of returning to the sky, leaving a laughing stock in vain. If there is a day when adults have Mingjun to help, and the original intention does not change, the three questions are only the first of the adults, and I am willing to help the adults create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. ”
It is clear enough that Gaozong is not tough on the family, and he is not a clear monarch in the way of anti-corruption, and he is afraid that he has thought too much about reform. Di Renjie will definitely succeed in assisting Wu Zetian in the future, but now it is definitely not now, sow a seed here first, maybe you will be able to harvest it later.
Di Renjie thought about it, this is still a smart person, although he is not a person who sacrifices himself for the country, and he is bent on protecting himself, but he still has some talent to learn, at least he can see things clearly. If there is really a Ming Jun and in power, you can't ask for it when the time comes, so you will find yourself a good thigh, and the back road will be paved.
What a little slippery head.
"The Son of Heaven still has three sons, I don't know which one Shen Gongzi thinks is Mingjun." Murder and punishment, don't you say that the Son of Heaven is not a Ming Jun and cannot fight corruption, then who is the Ming Jun and who can lead this matter, you say.
...
Who is Mingjun, don't you count it yourself?
"After becoming an adult, he was born as a scholar, with extraordinary knowledge, for the country and the people. The person who is loyal to the Lord is Mingjun. ”
"Shen Gongzi means the crown prince?" After all, Di Renjie entered the door with the prince's card.
Shen Sanwen suppressed his eyes, afraid that he would accidentally look at it with contempt.
Master Di laughed, the name of the prince's benevolence is far and wide, and he is a corporal of etiquette, but he is by no means a person who knows people and is good at doing his job, he governs the country with the book of sages, he does not know human feelings, he is easy to be manipulated by others, and it is a great trouble for the country and the people. Adults have a unique vision, I believe that adults can choose Mingjun, and Mingjun can also reuse adults, and the kid doesn't dare to say much. ”
Shen Sanwen felt that he still had a bit of a scholarly spirit, although he didn't think about being rich and rich, and he didn't think about leaving a name in history, but if he could, he still thought about what he could do for this adult. After all, in history, there were infinitely many corrupt officials, and there were only a few clean officials, and most of them lived a hard life, were unhappy during their lifetime, and their role in leaving their names after death was not so great. It is better to use your own knowledge, your own insight, and your own foresight of the future to do something for these adults.
Thinking of this, Shen Sanwen had forgotten his own difficult situation.
After listening to this, Di Renjie gradually felt that Shen Sanwen was a talent, after all, people have an inexplicable appreciation for their fans, and their eyes are still very good.
However, after hearing this, Di Renjie became even more worried about the country and the people, although not all officials in Datang are corrupt, after all, many yamen are Qingshui yamen. But the situation will not change because of one person, unless this person is the emperor, top-down reform is the way that Datang should take to fight corruption.
"Shen Xiaoyou has great talent."
