Chapter 578: A Hundred Years of Nothing
(Xie: Even though the love is deep, the book friend 18672397, the three yellow teeth, the king of destruction, the book friend 50067 2 24, the magical golden beetle, the wanderer 201411 and other brothers' rewards.) Thank you for the votes of the brothers. )
After Guo Chong heard the news, he was also a little nervous in his heart, should he take advantage of the fact that the Liao people have no time to take care of it at the moment and raise troops to attack the Liao State? It sounded like a good idea, but Guo Chong quickly dismissed the idea. First, there is still no money. If you have the money to fight, what are you busy with in front of you? Second, the covenant has been finalized and announced by both sides. The only thing that can be done to tear up the covenant is the country of Yoki in the north. I am a great country in China, and naturally I disdain to take advantage of others' dangers.
The first is the main one, and the second reason is published for the world to see. No one knows Guo Chong's helplessness.
However, the situation at this moment gave Da Zhou an excellent respite. Guo Chong is fully aware of the threat facing Da Zhou, and he will not change when to wait at this time. When the Liao people calmed down the Jurchens and then looked at the Great Zhou in the south, the Great Zhou at that time must have sufficient money and food and strong soldiers to deal with it in the future. Therefore, the change with the goal of strengthening the army through financial management is imminent.
On the morning of July 18 in the fifth year of the Great Zhou Qingfeng, Guo rushed to the early morning. Officials in Beijing who are above the fifth grade are all summoned to the early dynasty of the Daqing Palace. Daqing Hall is the first hall in the interior, and Guo Chong went to the temple here only when he ascended the throne and sacrificed. The rest of the time is in the Chongzheng Hall in the back. This early morning court was held in the Daqing Hall, and many people have realized that it is very unusual.
In the early dynasties, Guo Chong was not allowed to discuss any other state affairs, and he only asked a question to hundreds of officials.
"I have been thinking hard for a few days, and I have a question, why is my Great Zhou Dynasty a hundred years fine, and the country's fortune is prosperous? I don't understand this, but what do you think? ”
The ministers who asked this question were a little confused, and the saint suddenly asked what the purpose of this question was. Today's convening of the Great Dynasty is to ask everyone this question?
The confused ministers did not dare not think seriously, the emperor said that he would summon people to deal with it, if he summoned himself, he could not answer. So they frowned and thought about it one by one, but they didn't dare to make any moves, for fear of attracting the attention of the saint and being asked by the saint.
At this moment, Guo Zhengran took a notebook from the dragon case and ordered the eunuch to read it to the ministers.
Zazi said: The minister was asked by His Majesty about the fact that this dynasty has enjoyed the country for a hundred years, and there is nothing to do in the world. The minister was shallow and ugly, mistakenly admitted the holy question, forced by the sundial, did not dare to stay for a long time, and did not know the words, so he resigned. Stealing only the saint asked about this, the blessing of the world, and the minister did not have a word of dedication, not the righteousness of the minister, so he dared to be presumptuous and rude.
Fu Wei Taizu bowed to the wisdom and insight, and knew that the feelings of the characters were false, the command and entrustment must do their best, and the change of facilities must be their business. Therefore, he can control the generals, train the soldiers, defend the Di on the outside, and level China on the inside. Therefore, in addition to the harsh endowment, the abuse and punishment were stopped, the tyrannical feudal towns were abolished, the corrupt and cruel officials were punished, and simplicity and thrift were the first in the world. Between the political decrees, one is to Amway Yuanyuan. ……
The reign of the first emperor was the longest. The minister is prepared to serve as an official at the time, and the minister is the end, and the minister has seen it himself. Trying to show one or two things for His Majesty, and His Majesty choosing what is possible, is also enough to show for the present. Fu Weirenzong is also the king, looking up to the sky and fearing people; Benevolence and frugality, out of nature, and loyalty and sincerity, always the same. I have not tried to fight in vain, and I have not tried to kill a person in vain; The prison is in life, and the evil officials are harassed. I'd rather give up my wealth to Yidi, and finally I can't bear to increase my troops.
The punishment is fair and fair, and the reward is heavy and faithful. Accept the history of the imperial officials, listen to and watch the public, and not be blinded by biased slander. Because of the eyes and ears of everyone, they are estranged, and then they sit together. The officials of the Gai Supervision Department and even the prefectures and counties did not dare to be tyrannical and cruel, and they arbitrarily transferred them to hurt the people. Since the Xia people obeyed, the barbarians have not changed greatly, the father and son of the border people have been spared the death of the soldiers, and the Chinese people have rested in peace, and those who have not tried to fight in vain, have not tried to kill a person in vain, and the prison affairs are alive, and the cruelty of the special evil officials would rather give up their wealth to Yidi than bear the effect of increasing the army. Ministers and nobles, left and right close to Xi, do not dare to break the law, their self-respect, or even worse than the people in Lu Xiang, this punishment is also fair and public. Recruit the world's heroes and cunning as soldiers, a few to millions, if there are no good generals, and those who seek change will be defeated; Gather the world's property, although there are literary books, the history of the commission, there is no capable official to hook the test, and the thief is often issued; In the fierce years and hungry years, the streamers fill the way, the dead pillow each other, and the cowards get it. This reward is also the effect of faith. Ministers and nobles, left and right close to Xi, can not be good at prestige, bribery of private goods, once there is treachery, it will be heard casually; Greed and cunning, although occasionally useful, not for a long time. This is the use of officials, imperial history, public listening and viewing, not covered by the effect of biased slander.
From the county magistrate to the supervisor of the cabinet, although not all of them are promoted, but the so-called talents for a while, but also rarely cover up and do not see the recipients, this is because of the eyes and ears of the people, the promotion is alienated, and then the effect of the law of sitting together. On the day of ascension, the world mourns, such as mourning, this generosity, benevolence and frugality, out of nature, loyalty and forgiveness, and the effect of the end.
However, this dynasty has followed the disadvantages of the last customs, and there is no discussion of relatives, friends and ministers. The people are everywhere day and night, but the eunuch woman; Out and look at things, but there are only details of the division. Not like the ancient great and promising king, he discussed the law of the first king with the bachelor doctor, so as to take measures for the world. Everything is due to the rational situation of nature, and the spiritual luck is not added, and the name is not noticed. The gentleman is not noble, but the villain also has to go to the toilet; Righteous arguments are not intolerable, but heresies are sometimes used. Seek the people of the world with poems, but there is no way to cultivate them in schools; The position of the imperial court is described in the name of the department, and there is no way to take the test in a lawsuit. There is no one in the supervisor to procure, and the guard is not a chosen official. The urgency of migration is not only difficult to evaluate performance, but the people who talk about it are confused. There are many people who are private and supportive, and those who are independent may be depressed. Therefore, it is just lazy and tolerant from top to bottom, although there are capable people in office, it is no different from mediocre people. The peasants were bad at servitude, but they did not try to save them, and they did not set up officials for them, so as to cultivate their water and soil. The soldiers are mixed with fatigue and old age, and they have not tried to apply for training, and they do not choose generals for them, and they have the right to the territory for a long time. The guards gathered the scoundrels, and did not change the custom of the five generations to appease the bondage; The clan did not teach the election the truth, and did not kill the prince and the prince in accordance with the past. It is probably impossible to manage finance, so although it is thrifty and the people are not rich, although it is worried and diligent, the country is not strong. When Lai Feiyi Di Chang was blazing, there was no Yao, and there was no change in the soup and drought, so there was nothing in the world, too many years. Although it is said to be personnel, it is also God's help
Gai Lei saints one after another, looking up to the sky, fearing people, being generous and frugal, loyal and forgiving, so he was helped by heaven.
His Majesty bows to the quality of the saint, inherits the infinite thread, knows that the help of heaven cannot be permanent, and knows that the person cannot be slackened, then the time of great promise is today. The minister did not dare to abolish the righteousness of the general, and escaped the punishment of jealousy. His Majesty is fortunate to be forgiven and pay attention, and the blessing of the world is also. Take in and stop.
Hundreds of civil and military officials quietly listened to the inner servants read this notebook, and suddenly felt something in their hearts. It turned out that the answer to today's question had already been answered, and before asking the ministers, he had already asked other people, and he had received the answer from this note. This note is also concise, detailed, sincere, and tactful. Although it seems to be the reason for the 100-year inactivity of this dynasty, it faintly points out many stubborn diseases and many shortcomings of this dynasty under the surface. In the end, the theory that there is nothing to do in this dynasty is attributed to God's blessing, but in fact this is a seemingly positive and deprecating article. But I don't know who wrote this note, but the courage is not small.
The chamberlain retreated, and Guo Chong slowly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this note?" Is the answer to my question biased? ”
The ministers were silent, Guo Chong looked at Lu Zhongtian and said, "Lu Aiqing, what do you think?" ”、
Lu Zhongtian calmly stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this note is well written, at least it is clearly organized and has something to say. It makes a lot of sense. But...... The old minister thought that this note was a bit of a yin and yang weirdness. The emperor asked about the reason for a hundred years of nothingness, and this notebook listed a lot of shortcomings accumulated in this dynasty, alarmist, and some of the text was not right. As for his conclusion, the peace of our dynasty for a hundred years is the blessing of God, and the old minister cannot agree. I want the emperors of the past dynasties to overcome obstacles and open up the territory, and work hard for the world of the Great Zhou from generation to generation. These are the causes of the peace of my Great Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years, how can they all be attributed to the blessing of God, isn't this the work of erasing the governance of the sages? Therefore, Lao Chen felt that the view of this piece of paper was a bit biased. ”
The ministers were talking about it, and as soon as Lu Zhongtian said this, many people immediately nodded their heads and agreed: "What Lu Xiang said is very true, although the article is well written, this point of view is biased. The person who wrote the note had the wrong intentions and had other intentions. The Holy One shall have a clear judgment. ”
Guo Chong's face was grim and he glanced at the ministers, and the hall was immediately silent.
"You say that this note is biased, but I think it is very sincere. Isn't this list of facts? ”
Guo Chong stretched out his hand to pick up the notebook and read it aloud: "'This dynasty has been following the disadvantages of the last customs for many generations, and there is no discussion of relatives, friends and ministers. The people are everywhere day and night, but the eunuch woman; Out and look at things, but there are only details of the division. Not like the ancient great and promising king, he discussed the law of the first king with the bachelor doctor, so as to take measures for the world. I have a deep understanding of this paragraph. It just goes to my heart. In the first year of my accession, who did you talk to me about the gains and losses of this dynasty and discuss the legal system and national policy? Isn't it true that what I hear every day is trivial, and that it doesn't contribute to the affairs of the state? ”
The ministers were terrified and shocked, and they all stood solemnly.
"Look at these sentences again: 'Seek the people of the world with poetry and recitation, but there is no way to cultivate in school; The position of the imperial court is described in the name of the department, and there is no way to take the test in a lawsuit. 'Isn't that the case with me going to the imperial examination?' Only focusing on poetry and writing, ignoring the ability to govern, how many mediocre officials and absurd things have happened over the years? ”
"'There is no one in the prison department, and the general is not a chosen officer. The urgency of migration is not only difficult to evaluate performance, but the people who talk about it are confused. There are many people who are private and supportive, and those who are independent may be depressed. Therefore, it is just lazy and tolerant from top to bottom, although there are capable people in office, it is no different from mediocre people. ’”
"The peasants are bad at servitude, but they do not have special help and do not set up officials for them, so as to cultivate the benefits of their water and soil. The soldiers are mixed with fatigue and old age, and they have not tried to apply for training, and they do not choose generals for them, and they have the right to the territory for a long time. The guards gathered the scoundrels, and did not change the custom of the five generations to appease the bondage; The clan did not teach the election the truth, and did not kill the prince and the prince in accordance with the past. It is probably impossible to manage finance, so although it is thrifty and the people are not rich, although it is worried and diligent, the country is not strong. ’”
Which one of these is wrong? Although my Great Zhou is said to be rich, now the fiscal and tax revenues have dropped sharply, the treasury is empty, and I can't make ends meet. The soldiers and horses in the border towns were not enough to eat and pay, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses was low, and they were defeated nine times out of ten. Therefore, I was majestic and the Great Zhou was ridden by the neck of the Liao people in the north as a prestige. I want to use troops against them, but I have to consider whether there is food and salary, and I also have to consider how strong our soldiers and horses are. A while ago, some of you were overjoyed and elated. But do you know how much money was spent on this war? There is no money in the treasury, and do you know where it comes from? I negotiated with the Liao people, and some of you cried and shouted to write to me, saying that negotiating reconciliation with the Liao people at this time would damage the face of the Great Zhou, and that they should defeat the Liao people in one fell swoop and raise the prestige of the Great Zhou...... Hey, that's easy. Do you think I'm willing to do that? I also want to march north, set foot on the Liao Kingdom and go to Beijing, and let Yelu Zongyuan kneel down to me and confess his guilt in person, but what will I fight? What about the silver? What about grain and grass? What about weapons, armor, and horses? Who really gave me an idea? Tell me how to get these things? ”
