Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Beauty Trick? Serve the tiger by yourself!
Hearing Concubine Xuan ask about his way of being a king, Zhao Mingyuan seemed to hear a little bit of a little girl's temper from it.
It seems that she is saying this, you don't just talk and don't practice, you will only find fault with others, but what you do may not be as good as others.
Zhao Mingyuan knew that even if he said all his thoughts, even if Concubine Xuan felt that it made sense, it would not be able to change the result, and Cihang Jingzhai would definitely not support him.
But Zhao Mingyuan was still ready to say it, and he vomited the depression that had accumulated in his heart since he came to this world.
So, Zhao Mingyuan opened his mouth and said: "If King Qin sits on the throne, I believe he will definitely be a good emperor." ”
Concubine Xuan was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Zhao Mingyuan to say this. She also thought that Zhao Mingyuan would only blindly belittle Li Shimin.
But he heard Zhao Mingyuan continue: "But even if he is Mingjun, what can he do?
As I just said, what about his son? What about his grandson?
It can't be a faint king like Yang Guang.
Li Shimin's way of governing is not wrong, but it requires that kings must be all wise kings like him.
But throughout history, which dynasty and generation can guarantee that the emperor is always virtuous?
It's impossible.
In fact, a wise man like Li Shimin is available but not sought.
Therefore, his way of being a king is only his way of being a king.
Only when he was alive could play a role.
Decades later, once Li Shimin died, this method would naturally be over. ”
Concubine Xuan couldn't help frowning, she knew that what Zhao Mingyuan said was not wrong, but she still retorted: "But aren't all dynasties like this?
There is no eternal dynasty in the world.
Why did General Zhao have the luxury of expecting a system that would last for generations?
At the beginning, Tyranny Qin also wanted to be the king for eternity, but he only died in the second generation.
I can do my best, but I don't have to be too demanding.
Could it be that General Zhao has a solution to this problem? ”
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Of course, if I don't have a solution, wouldn't I be deliberately making things difficult for King Qin?" ”
Hearing this, Concubine Shi couldn't help but blush, as if the sunset was reflected on her face, charming and moving.
Didn't she just think that Zhao Mingyuan was sincerely making things difficult for Li Shimin?
It's a pity that this moving scene is because she turned her back and no one saw it.
Zhao Mingyuan continued: "The reason why there is a lone husband like Yang Guang who is causing trouble to the world is because the emperor's power is too great.
Emperor Chrysostom said that no one could disobey him.
With such absolute power, how many people quickly became corrupt and degenerate after sitting on the throne.
If the power of the king is no longer so great, then no matter how mediocre he is, he can no longer live for the sake of harming the world.
You can't be a mediocre person!
In this way, relying on the system to brainstorm and select talents, the world can be safe.
No matter who the person sitting on the throne is or what kind of person he is, the people can enjoy peace.
Isn't this better than the so-called Mingjun?
After all, Mingjun is just one person, and he can only decide the situation for a while, but a good system can always exist and have a far-reaching impact.
I don't dare to say that this system can solve the problem once and for all, but at least it is more reliable than relying on just one person and betting on whether he is mediocre or virtuous. ”
What Zhao Mingyuan said was naturally not a constitutional monarchy, but a cabinet system implemented in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
In fact, there was only a thin line between the cabinet system and the constitutional monarchy in the Ming Dynasty, and the gap was not very large.
However, at least the cabinet system is easier for Shi Feixuan to understand, so that it will not have too much impact all at once and be regarded as a fallacy.
Of course, there are some drawbacks in this cabinet system, which can be seen from the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty.
But where in this world is there a perfect system?
At least this is a time-tested political system, nearly a thousand years more advanced than the system of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Concubine Xuan seemed to be shocked by Zhao Mingyuan's seat, thought for a long time, and then said: "According to General Zhao, it is true that there will be no more faint monarchs like Yang Guang.
In other words, even if there is a faint king, it will not have much impact on the world.
Even, in that case, it doesn't matter who the emperor is, what matters is the ministers of the court.
But wouldn't there be a powerful minister in this way?
In that case, the ministers just don't have the title of emperor, so what's the difference between them and the actual emperor?
Isn't it just as likely to have a bad effect? ”
is worthy of being a concubine, and as expected, she lived up to her reputation, and she suddenly discovered the flaws of the cabinet system.
Zhao Mingyuan replied: "You can set a term of office for important ministers.
For example, the prime minister's tenure is set to be five years for a period, and each person can serve for a maximum of two periods, which is customized.
Unless he can really lean the government and the opposition and get everyone to support him. Otherwise, if he wants to stay in office, he will be in the way of others. How could anyone else agree?
And if he can really make everyone support him, then why does he have to be the prime minister, why not be the emperor?
In fact, it is definitely not easy to do this in just ten years of office.
In the future, above the court, there will be a group of smart people vying for power, and in the end, the smartest will be able to win. If he can really do this, he will surely be able to manage the country better with his talents.
After all, such a power is different from the position of the emperor, and it cannot be passed on.
Today's prime minister is smart, but he can't guarantee that his son is also smart, and he will inevitably be replaced by others.
In this way, even if the ministers in the court are constantly changing, it will never be so easy to change the dynasty. ”
Concubine Xuan suddenly asked: "If General Zhao wins the world, is he really willing to implement such a system, instead of holding the power and being an emperor who can make a promise?" ”
Zhao Mingyuan replied, "Of course, does Brother Qin think I'm joking?"
If you don't believe me, Brother Qin, you can come and help me witness this unprecedented change together.
With the talent of the Qin brothers, maybe they will be able to become the prime minister in the future and rule the world.
When the time comes, you'll know if I'm telling the truth? ”
The concubine said: "If this is the case, then it is very likely that you, the emperor, will be united by the scholars and the lords.
After all, most of the people who study today are from big families, and there are very few people from poor families.
This seems to be contrary to the path that General Zhao has been preaching! ”
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Not bad. Therefore, it is necessary to increase education efforts and train more scholars to allow ordinary people to have the opportunity to enter the court. ”
Shi Fei Xuan suddenly said: "I see! Therefore, General Zhao ordered his two disciples to teach all the teenagers to practice literature and martial arts in Wagangzhai, which was to cultivate talents and prepare for the future. ”
Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect Concubine Xuan to tell his secret like this.
Since Shi Fei Xuan knew about this, then presumably Cihang Jingzhai already knew about it.
Although Zhao Mingyuan didn't do this very secretly, everything was done in a righteous and bright way.
It's just that most people don't know what Zhao Mingyuan is doing this for.
I didn't expect to be said so easily by Concubine Xuan now, it seems that she has indeed understood that Zhao Mingyuan cultivated those teenagers to prepare for dealing with the Shi clan gatekeeper.
didn't wait for Zhao Mingyuan to say anything more, but he heard the concubine suddenly say, "I'm sorry!" General Zhao's great wish, although admirable, did not dare to agree.
It's not that General Zhao's idea is bad, it's that General Zhao is too anxious to do something.
And such a big thing is obviously not something that can be done in one generation.
If you cook small and fresh food in a big country, you will be stable and not in a hurry.
Yang Guang's imperial examination system and the excavation of the Grand Canal are not things that will benefit future generations.
It's a pity that he did it too quickly, and he offended the family and the people, and offended everyone in the world. Therefore, the Great Sui II died.
Why didn't the original Great Qin die because of this?
The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, but it enjoyed the country for more than 400 years.
What General Zhao wants to do now is more radical than Yang Guang, and it will arouse the opposition of the entire world.
General Zhao wants to succeed but doesn't know how many people will die?
And now, the dawn of the unification of the world has appeared.
For the sake of the people of the world, General Zhao is also asked to give up this bold attempt. ”
Okay! For the sake of the common people in the world.
Although he knew that it was impossible for him to get the support of Cihang Jingzhai, he didn't expect to give himself such a reason in the end.
Regarding Concubine Xuan's words, Zhao Mingyuan even refused: "This is for the sake of the common people in the world, so that their children and grandchildren will not be trampled on by the family gate valve from generation to generation."
I'm going to carve out a way out for them, a road to heaven!
This is Zhao's way, I'd rather die than fold!
Your Excellency will not have to work in vain. ”
"Alas!"
Shi Fei Xuan suddenly sighed.
It's just that Zhao Mingyuan suddenly found that her sigh was no longer the ethereal, indistinguishable voice just now, but a sweet and moving female voice.
Obviously, this is the real voice of Concubine Xuan.
Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but look at her when he heard the voice, but saw that the concubine slowly turned around, revealing her shocking face.
Under the slender and naturally curved eyebrows, the bright and deep eyes are even more long-looking, with the two dimples embedded in the jade cheeks that seem to be long and smiling, the shoulders are like knives, the waist is twisted, and the delicate fit is incomprehensible.
Her complexion is as clear as jade, and she seems to be even lighter, with a beautiful posture and a dusty appearance.
Although she appeared in the mortal world, it seemed that she should never be in this earthly place worthy of her identity.
Her beautiful eyes are as clear as the sun rising in the morning glow, and she can always maintain some mysterious and unfathomable calm.
Now Concubine Xuan's beautiful eyes are staring at Zhao Mingyuan, and Tan Kou said softly: "Zhao Gongzi must have guessed Concubine Xuan's identity, right?"
If Concubine Xuan is willing to be with her for a long time, I wonder if Zhao Gongzi is willing to give up this great wish and return to the mountains and forests with Concubine Xuan? ”
