Chapter XVIII: The Debate of the Monarch and the Minister
Shen Sanwen began his admonition, "For example, Taizong, in the early stage, was able to exert great governance, appoint meritocracy, and judge things fairly, but in his later years, he handed over state affairs to a powerful minister like the eldest grandson Wuji, is it considered to be a villain and let go of power?" For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wenzhi and martial arts, exceeded many generations of emperors, but in the end, he did not favor Jiang Chong and unjustly killed his son. If the emperor can firmly control the power of the country in his own hands, instead of trusting people who are not worthy of the position, then the world, the royal family, can have few disasters. ”
Wu Zetian: "Do you mean the Wu brothers?" ”
Shen Sanwen really didn't mean this, he just said that Li Longji would be like this, strictly speaking, the Wu brothers really couldn't make too much of a storm.
Shen San asked: "Wu Chengsi is greedy for wealth and wealth, but he is willful and reckless, and no one will really support him." Wu Sansi has the ability to turn the clouds and rain, but he is cautious and cowering, and he is not a willful person. Their power comes from His Majesty, and if one thought is born and one thought is destroyed, His Majesty naturally has a way to tame them. ”
Wu Zetian: "That's good. ”
Shen San asked: "Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of flattering people, no matter how wise the king is, when he sees social stability and success, he will relax his vigilance for a long time, and then he will only listen to lies, empty words, and lies. ”
Wu Zetian nodded, "That's true, Shang Xun opened up the territory, but appointed Fei Zhong Youhun's disciples, Qin Shi Huang created the imperial system through the ages, but in his later years, he was deceived by Li Siyu, and the people were full of grievances, and they were miserable, and they still believed that the world was peaceful." These are all examples of hard work in the early stage, but there is no good start and end in the later years. ”
Shen San asked: "Human nature, is only willing to see its own merits, listen to the words of the ear, ordinary people are like this, saints are like this, and the king is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, this is helpless." How many virtuous monarchs have eventually turned into the kings of the dead country. Li Longji can also create a prosperous era, but he can't start and finish well. I hope that Your Majesty will not forget today's words, and the minister believes that Your Majesty can create a prosperous martial arts week. ”
Wu Zetian: "I naturally have this confidence, otherwise what is the difference between being a queen, a queen mother, and an emperor?" If there is no continuous war, recuperation and recuperation, the prosperous era is just around the corner, but I don't know if I can surpass Taizong. ”
Shen San asked: "Naturally, it is possible, Taizong is just admonishing and respecting Confucianism and praising the literati." However, His Majesty's exploits, in the annals of history, may not be known to the world as Zhenguan's rule. ”
Wu Zetian snorted coldly, "I have created this opportunity for Confucian scholars in the world to enter the world, so that talented and learned people can participate in the governance of the world, but it can't withstand the face of literati, and it can't withstand Confucianism's discrimination against men and women." ”
Shen San asked and kowtowed, "The minister is dead." ”
Wu Zetian: "Not guilty, I don't care what these literati say, justice is in the hearts of the people." ”
Shen Sanwen secretly sighed that the female emperor really deserved to be the first emperor of the ages, open-minded, not inferior to Taizong.
However, Wu Zetian continued, "If anyone dares to say this, I will kill him, and if the scholars of the world say so, I will kill all the scholars of the world." I can do better than Taizong, I only need the submission of the world in this world. No matter what later generations say, as for the annals of history, what is the use of people after death? ”
After I die, who will care about the flood?
Well, this female emperor is really domineering, and she has the determination to kill gods and Buddhas.
It's just that Emperor Wu's later years are somewhat similar to Li Longji.
Shen Sanwen thought about it and spoke directly, "Your Majesty, although Master Di is a loyal person, he does not have the ability to know people. ”
Emperor Wu nodded and directly asked him to retreat.
Shen Sanwen felt that he hadn't said it clearly at all, but he didn't have a chance to say it, and the emperor didn't want to hear it.
Emperor Wu did not have the idea of establishing a prince, this question only dispelled his concerns about Di Renjie, and now it seems that Di Renjie cannot do this phase yet, the prime minister is not an ordinary person after all, he has been in Xiazhou for a long time, and he still needs to be observed.
The next day, Wu Zetian ascended to the son of the former imperial envoy doctor, Cui Shenji, the secretary of Honglu Temple.
This move made Lai Junchen completely understand Emperor Wu's intentions. The prime minister can't be himself, but he is very glad that Emperor Wu has never given up on him, Cui Shenji is the prime minister, but he is just blocking the mouths of the people, a person responsible for diplomacy with the barbarians, how much energy can he have? As long as he has real power and is willing to clear the obstacles for Emperor Wu, why should the prime minister pay attention to it. It's just a false name, and it is guarded against by the emperor, and it is far less comfortable than the imperial envoy doctor.
At this point, Lai Junchen began his journey as a real cool official. The crime of treason and embezzlement, since the emperor wants to punish it, then he wants to pacify these villains for the emperor's sword. Lai Junchen trained many of his subordinates to teach them to verify, and if they couldn't verify, they would make evidence, and the suspected crime would become guilty, and the guilty would become a capital crime.
After practicing and summarizing again and again, Lai Junchen determined his own way of doing things, how to distinguish people, how to do things, how to treat subordinates, how to control power, and sorted out these life experiences and handed them over to his most trusted son. The only one who can win Junchen's trust is this righteous son, who has not experienced hardships together, how can he share the glory with him?
Through Kangshun's way, Shen Sanwen easily got the famous books of later generations and weaved scriptures.
The princess was also very surprised when she saw Luo Weaving, a gambler can have such a deep understanding of human nature, it is really terrifying.
This scripture is the handle of Lai Junchen.
"There are very few people who volunteer to be subordinates. If there is no strategy in the management of the subordinates by the superiors, either the subordinates will resist the superiors, or the subordinates will seize the power of the superiors. ”
It is indeed a philosophy of the world, but there is no loyalty and gratitude, and the seizure of power by virtue of this sentence alone is the same as the following "Do not disobey the order of the monarch, this is the foundation of the sutra, and the wise man would rather sacrifice himself to let the sutra continue." There is a difference between virtuous and stupid, and appointing people should not require their talents to be higher than their own", I believe that it will be difficult for Junchen to walk through the knife edge of the martial arts.
I just hope that Lai Junchen can be smarter, don't choose the wrong target, and let this day come too quickly.
The politics of cool officials has kicked off, and there has been no curtain call for a long time. Lai Junchen is not the prime minister, he is better than the prime minister, the cool officials he supports, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty have a headache when they see it. So Emperor Wu's imperial study, attacking the twists and turns of Lai Junchen and the cool officials, like snowflakes, piled up, but the Martial Emperor never dealt with Lai Junchen and the cool officials under him.
Extraordinary means can often bring the most effective results, and coming to Junchen is an important step for Emperor Wu to control the world, and it is also an important step for Emperor Wu to rule the world.
If it is not broken, it will not stand, and it will stand after it is broken. Without today's bloodbath to deter the lawbreakers of the world, how can we ensure that our orders will be effective in the future?
Could it be that like Gaozong, the decree came from Chang'an and was placed on the bookshelf of the county government, and no one cared about it for a hundred years?
