Chapter Twenty-Three: If You Catch a Mouse, You're a Good Cat

"Is the world big, or is the court big?" This question turned around in Li Jiancheng's head, and Li Jiancheng was dizzy: "Aren't the court and the world the same?" The world is the world of the court, and the court is the court of the world! ”

This sentence seems to be like a tongue twister, in fact, this is almost the ordinary cognition of people in this era. The imperial court is the world, and the world is the imperial court.

When Chen Ying heard this, he smiled noncommittally, but did not speak.

Li Jiancheng asked suspiciously, "Isn't it right?" Then tell me, is the world big, or the imperial court? ”

Chen Yinghao said without hesitation: "Naturally, the world is big!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, and said undeterminedly: "The world is big? I want to hear about it! ”

Chen Ying stretched out his fingers, dipped in some tea, and drew a rough outline of the map on the table, Chen Ying explained to Li Jiancheng while drawing: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Hedong, as the land of the Tang Dynasty, has changed hands in just two years, isn't this enough to explain the problem?" Nowadays, in an unceremonious sentence, the Tang Dynasty's deterrent power is only limited to Guanzhong, Hedong is the Hedong of Hedong people, Hexi is Hexi of Hexi people, Henan is also Henan of Henan people, and Hebei is also Hebei of Hebei people. It is not easy to fight the world, it is even more difficult to defend the country, and it is even more difficult to govern the country! ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Yes, Chen Qing is reasonable. ”

"Now, Henan, Hebei, and Shandong are nominally attached to Datang, but are they really attached?" Chen Ying sighed and said, "The local and the central, can they keep the same pace?" ”

Li Jiancheng was silent, vaguely understanding the purpose of Chen Ying's proposal to set up the Twelve Turns of Wenxun. However, there was part of the reason he didn't figure it out.

"Hebei has fertile soil and water, suitable for farming, and is known for its solidity. Hebei belongs to the land of Yan Zhao, and the folk customs are originally fierce and aggressive, and if you don't obey the slightest, you will draw your sword against each other! Chen Ying paused and said: "And Jiangnan disagreed, since the five chaotic China, the clothes moved south, Jiangnan has greatly promoted Confucianism, but also the first to lead the world, famous Confucianism has come out in large numbers, and there are countless heirlooms of metallurgy, and it has gradually become an important town in Shilin." Different from other places, Jiangnan is Chu land, after learning Confucianism, he does not change his generosity, good discussion, and Qing talk for tolerance, while Hexi has lived outside the Saiwai for a long time, and lives with Zhuhu, which is both my Chinese clan, and the body is also contaminated with a little Hu habits, the folk customs are different, the customs are different, if you want to govern well, it is not easy, the Tang Dynasty will establish the country by force, and you can win the world immediately, but you will not be able to govern the world immediately. If the Tang Dynasty only has a corner of the country, it naturally doesn't have to think too much, but the world does not only refer to Guanzhong, Xihe, Hedong, Hebei, Henan, but also Jiangnan, Bashu, Lingnan, and Liaodong. However, if civil officials serve one term and step down after three years, what will they do locally? This is directly related to whether the imperial court can effectively control the local area. ”

The truth is easy to say, but in fact it is very difficult to do. Not to mention now, even in the future generations, the local village tyrants and town tyrants are also lawless. There are gate valves in the world, there are clans, there are heroes in states and counties, and there are thieves in local villages. In fact, this is a manifestation of local clan power, and when combined with the special geographical situation, it has become a stubborn disease. The general clan controls the local power at most, and indirectly affects the Taishou and the county magistrate, and it is not good to be ruthless, after all, the people do not fight with the officials, and the government has the county soldiers in their hands as the backing of the force, and it is really not possible for the imperial court to levy more people and horses, and no matter how big the manor is, it will be leveled for you. But the thieves are different, they hide in the mountains, guard according to the danger, one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, and no matter how many soldiers in the court are, it is not easy to use.

Don't look at the majesty of the Central Plains family, the height of the temple, calling for wind and rain, the reputation is prominent, once it loses power, it may be uprooted at any time, and the staying power of life is far inferior to these thieves who are close to the mountains and rivers. It's just that they are far away from the rivers and lakes, and their reputation is not obvious, so they are not qualified to leave their names in the official history, and finally turn into abstract labels.

The rogue officials appointed by the central government cannot shake the local thieves at all, but once the local power is sidelined, the imperial court policy cannot be affected, and it is very easy to lose the hearts of the people. Zhongyuan Prefecture is a little better, but the most feared are remote prefectures and counties, where the clan and tribal forces are even more stubborn.

If we want to stimulate civil officials and confront local tyrants or thieves, the only way to improve the evaluation of civil officials is to directly link the political achievements of civil officials with their official careers. You must know that there is no official departure review system, at this time of the officials, once there is a deficit in the accounts, are by the successor officials to fill the deficit of the previous officials, it is conceivable that in China's thousands of years of history, there have been two clean officials, there are countless corrupt officials, mainly because of the lack of the system, the lack of an official evaluation system.

In the later generations, Chen Ying did not have any power, and he was not qualified to dictate to the national policy system, but in this time and space, by mistake, Chen Ying felt that if he completed the regret of his life, he would travel in vain.

Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng opened their hearts, and explained to Li Jiancheng from all aspects of the necessity of reality, rationality and the rigid needs of the country.

In the end, Chen Ying elaborated to Li Jiancheng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people, and the merit is in the future, if His Royal Highness the Prince, completes the establishment of the clerk review system, it will definitely be able to leave a name in history in the future, the most important thing is that as long as it can be uploaded and issued, and the imperial decree can be passed unimpeded, then the Tang Dynasty will be unified for thousands of years, and it will be powerful and powerful!" ”

"Hard, hard, hard!" Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "The clan gate valve has been controlling the place for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will encroach on land and evade taxes and taxes. ”

"As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the clan lords and the powerful forces are strong, however, if they are not rectified, they will definitely become Bengali, and the country will not be a country in the long run!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "Of course, targeted measures are better than nothing. As long as you do it, failure will be failure, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the Prince of Taiping, who dares to rebel and subdue them? ”

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "It's easy to say, where is it so easy, this is a matter of moving the whole body, and this palace can't help but think carefully and be thoughtful." ”

"It's very necessary to be thoughtful!" Chen Yingdao: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't see through whether this matter is a big gain or a loss, it is better to find a few states and counties, several county magistrates, and several state assassins, as an experiment, it is good to succeed, even if it fails, the impact on Datang can be ignored." ”

Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Chen Qing's plan is very good!" ”

The Turks are eyeing the north of the Tang Dynasty, and more than 300,000 Chen soldiers control the strings, like a sharp sword, hanging above the head of the Tang Dynasty, God knows when this sharp sword will fall? In this case, the Tang Dynasty has tried to be stable, and now stability is overwhelming.

Li Yuan doesn't want to take risks, why does Li Jiancheng want to take risks?

Li Jiancheng couldn't help but laugh. Chen Ying is sincere, but unfortunately his qualifications are too low, if Chen Ying is allowed to become Xiangguo, he may be able to personally come forward and lead the matter. However, thinking about Chen Ying's age, Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly in addition to a bitter smile.

Chen Ying is too young to take on this important task at all.

Chen Ying obviously knows this, the Tang Dynasty has Turkic and life-and-death battles, as the so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, under the sky of Huaxia, there can only be one king, and that is Huaxia.

Time is running out.

Turkic, Jieli Khan is now in control of the Turks, his position is not yet stable, this time he took the opportunity to unite the tribes together, and Li Tang to compete for who belongs to the world, the big war is imminent, Li Tang court at this moment can not have a big move.

Chen Ying knew that Li Jiancheng was also embarrassed, and he was not reluctant, so he could only regret silently in his heart.

……

The night is as dark as ink, and the Chengqian Hall of the Qin Wangfu is brightly lit. There are six crane foot copper lamps on both walls of the east side hall of the Chengqian Palace, the lamp shape is like the lonely foot of the crane, the strand holds up the ring lamp plate, there are three lampposts in the lamp plate, and three large candles are lit at the same time, the east side hall of the Chengqian Hall shines brightly as day.

The candles are flickering, and there are plenty of people under the lamps.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Yu Zhining, Su Shichang, Xue Shui, Chu Liang, Lu Deming, Yao Silian, Li Shousu, Yu Shinan, Cai Yungong, Yan Xiangshi, Cao Xujing, Xue Yuanjing, Gai Wenda, Su Miao and others were arguing loudly.

If you listen carefully, you will definitely find that the scholars of the Qin Palace, the topic of debate at this time is actually the Wenxun official system proposed by Chen Ying in Ganquan Palace.

Although His Royal Highness was noisy, the atmosphere was good.

Fang Xuanling said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the minister thinks that Chen Yuma proposed the Wenxun official system, and the purpose is not to reward, but to punish. ”

Li Shimin said: "Oh, how do you say this? ”

"Because Chen Juma is a military general, he is especially good at using soldiers!" Fang Xuanling sighed: "Chen Juma suddenly proposed the creation of the Wenxun official system today, because he saw that the Tang Dynasty government was too inefficient, and the officials did not want to forge ahead, so he deliberately changed the evaluation every three years to the evaluation every year, which was his original intention." ”

"Having said that, I'm afraid few people are willing." Li Shimin sighed lightly: "Chen Ying has far-reaching thoughts, and he does not hesitate to risk the world's condemnation for the country, and his loyalty is commendable. If everyone can be like Chen Ying, why should Datang be unhappy. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, a gentleman is virtuous, and a villain is virtuous. Changing customs and guiding the people to goodness was originally the duty of the hundred officials of the imperial court. Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "It's just that our courtiers are just worried that it will cause too much criticism and even His Majesty, so I will wait for the discussion without saying a word, and try it first, and then the imperial court will issue an edict to implement it." ”

Li Shimin made a deal with Li Yuan, in exchange for framing Ling Jing, Li Yuan renamed Li Shimin as the governor of Liangzhou, and replaced Li Daozong to be in charge of the fifteen prefectures in Hexi.

With Li Yuan's cautious temperament, Li Daozong has been in Hexi for more than two years, and the time is too long, I am afraid that Li Daozong will become the king of Liang, so Li Yuan is ready to transfer Li Daozong back and become the deputy envoy of Hebei Jingluo to pacify Shandong.

Li Shimin also takes advance as retreat, he knows that Li Yuan uses him to balance Li Jiancheng, but Li Jiancheng is in Hedong and Chen Ying in Hebei under the gate of the East Palace, this battle is too brilliant, no matter how reluctant Li Yuan is, he can't be too partial.

As a result, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was renamed the governor of Liangzhou, and the governor of Longyou Dao was also the governor of Liangzhou, becoming the de facto feudal official.

When Li Shimin learned that Chen Ying mentioned the Wenxun official system, he decided to formulate such a set of measures by the Qin Wangfu first.

Li Shimin's actions are quite in the style of Taizong of the Later Heavenly Dynasty.

Black cats and white cats, if you catch a mouse, you are a good cat.

Anyway, there is no patent law at this time. Although Chen Ying was the first to propose this system, Li Shimin didn't even say hello and used it directly.

Li Shimin thought for a long time and said: "This method was proposed by Chen Ying, and after it is formulated, it is best to take it to him and listen to his opinions." ”
