Chapter 33 Wei Zheng Wei Xuancheng, you really have a kind

What is the royal road? What is domineering?

When it comes to this issue, there is always an emperor who can't be avoided, that is, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, inherited the throne at the age of thirteen, and was called emperor at the age of thirty-nine, the first iron-fisted politician to complete the unification of China, and the establishment of the first multi-ethnic centralized state.

Of course, Ying Zheng's contribution to history is very many, he created the emperor system in the central government, implemented the three princes and nine secretaries, and managed national affairs. Locally, the sub-feudal system was abolished and replaced by the county system, with the same text and the same track, and unified weights and measures. Attacking the Xiongnu in the north, conquering Baiyue in the south, building the Great Wall, building the spiritual canal, and communicating the water system.

It also pushed China into the era of great unification and opened up a new situation for the establishment of an absolutist centralized system. He had a profound impact on the history of China and the world, laying the basic pattern of China's political system for more than 2,000 years, and he was praised as "the first emperor of the ages" by the Ming Dynasty thinker Li Zhen.

The law of Daqin is the foundation of his Yingzheng and Li Si in Shang Ying, and it was changed because of him, if you want to say that Yingzheng is not domineering, I am afraid that no one can claim to be hegemonic. As an emperor, Ying Zheng is the use of Legalist hegemony, governing the country with hegemony. The three princes and nine secretaries are all responsible to Yingzheng alone, he manages the 36 counties in the world alone, and he has to approve 120 catties a day.

Of course, everyone has no concept of one hundred and twenty catties, Qin Jian is about 27 to 27 centimeters long, 0.6 centimeters wide, about 0.2 centimeters thick, and can write more than 30 characters on average (refer to the bamboo slips of the Qin tomb in the Sleeping Tiger Land)

The actual density of bamboo is very close to that of wood, and the density is taken in the middle, that is, one gram per cubic centimeter, and the weight of a piece of Qin Jian is about three or four cubic centimeters, that is, it weighs three to four grams. In the Qin Dynasty, one catty was 250 grams, and if calculated, one hundred and twenty catties of bamboo slips was between 7,500 pieces and 10,000 pieces of bamboo slips. According to the calculation of three cross characters in a piece of bamboo (the actual number should be smaller, there will be blank space), that is, between 220,000 and 300,000 words.

Some people may say that I can read a million words a day, but Qin Shi Huang did not read it, but the classical Chinese recital, which was very informative, and had to be read and corrected word by word.

When it comes to diligence and personal action, Ying Zheng is one of the few diligent emperors in history, but he is not the only one, as for Yang Jian, the Wen Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he is also such an emperor. Yang Jian's throne was usurped. As early as the Northern Zhou Dynasty, when Yu Wenyong was in power, Yang Jian was already a man of the year in the Guanlong clan. Yu Wenyong wanted to get rid of him several times, and even Yu Wenyong's son Yu Wenyun wanted to get rid of him.

However, Yang Jian and Sima Yi are as good at forbearance, until Yuwenyun died, seven-year-old Yuwenyun ascended the throne, Yang Jian became the prime minister, became a minister, and finally usurped the throne and became the emperor.

He is the same as Yingzheng, Qin Shi Huang is okay, at that time the world was divided into 36 counties, and only civil and military officials at the level of county guards and county lieutenants could give him a soothing, but by the time of the Sui Dynasty, the world was divided into 188 counties, and the number of twists and turns was several times more than that of Yingzheng.

Hundreds and thousands of twists and turns, if there is no prime minister to share the labor, which emperor can bear it? But Yang Jian can insist on reviewing every day. For this reason, he only slept for two hours a day for twenty years, but when Yang Guang and Yang Erlang ascended the throne, he couldn't even sit still for half an hour on weekdays.

Speaking of which, the root of Yang Guang's demise lies in Yang Jian. Of course, the most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty also followed the old path of the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty. The Founding Emperors were workaholics, they had so much energy that they could sleep and forget to eat. But Chengzu Zhu Di did not have this patience, so he took the college students who worked as secretaries in the original cabinet in the early Ming Dynasty as the positive five products, and gradually weighted them, and in the Yingzong period, the Ming Dynasty cabinet was the second product, the real head of the hundred officials.

Although Chen Ying knew that what Wei Zheng said was reasonable, the officials were not convinced?

The controversy in the Hall of Wisdom continued.

Chen Shuda pointed at Wei Zheng and shouted: "Listen, everyone, this kind of strange talk can only come from, Wei Zheng's mouth ......"

Wei Zheng was calm, neither happy nor angry.

Yu Wenshi and angrily said: "Your Majesty, the demise of the Sui Dynasty is due to the hands of Yang Guang, this is the consensus of the world's corporals, this kind of truth that women and children know, do you still have to refute it in the court?" ”

Even Li Jiancheng's henchman Pei Ju also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have also served Yang Jian, although Emperor Wen of Sui is mean, although he has slaughtered heroes, but he is diligent and loves the people, and can be called a generation of saints." ”

The officials nodded in agreement.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with interest and said, "Wei Zheng, what do you say?" ”

Wei Zheng's face did not change, and his eyes looked at Li Jiancheng firmly and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Wen of the former dynasty is indeed a good emperor, but at the same time, he is also the initiator of the overthrow of Sheji in the Sui Dynasty......"

The uproar in the Hall of Xiande rose again, and the order in the court was a little chaotic.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty how many pieces of music can be approved in a day?" ”

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "A hundred copies." ”

Wei Zheng raised two fingers and said, "The number of pieces received by Menxia Province every day is no less than five hundred, and all kinds of official documents received in three months can fill a room. Dare to ask Your Majesty, if there are no three provinces and six departments, combing through all kinds of official documents, 500 official documents a day, Your Majesty can see it? ”

Li Jiancheng pursed his lips and shook his head: "I can't, even if I don't eat or drink, I can do it occasionally, but I can't do it every day!" ”

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, can see it and annotate them one by one. ”

Li Jiancheng sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Emperor Wen of Sui is a model for my generation!" ”

Wei Zheng smiled coldly: "It is precisely because of this that the death of the second Sui Dynasty was caused. ”

Hearing this, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar.

Even Li Jiancheng almost choked on his own saliva.

Wei Zheng continued: "Yang Jian's biggest mistake was that he was in charge of the government alone, leaving aside the prime ministers who assisted him in handling national affairs, and took away the power of the prime minister to make decisions and govern affairs, and even later, he refused to appoint the prime minister at all. One husband and one person dominate the world. This point, presumably the prime minister is also clear, Emperor Wen of Sui set up three provinces and six ministries, and the prime minister was divided into several parts, and he had the right to make suggestions, but he no longer had the ability to lead the government. ”

Pei Ju and Wang Qi and the others glanced at each other tacitly.

Li Jiancheng said with a suspicious look on his face: "Why did Emperor Wen of Sui do this? ”

The officials bowed their heads and remained silent.

Li Jiancheng frowned and thought about it. Suddenly, Li Jiancheng suddenly remembered that Yang Jian did not set up a prime minister, and regarded the three provinces and six ministries as decorations because Yang Jian's position was not right, Li Jiancheng's face changed suddenly, and he pointed at Wei Zheng and said: "Wei Zheng, are you secretly ironic, and you are not in the right position?" ”

Feng Deyi and Yu Wenshi glanced at each other, and then looked at Wei Zheng with playful eyes.

Fang Xuanling suddenly sweated on his forehead.

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Your Majesty's throne is not right, this is a fact known to the world, why should your subordinates be sarcastic?" ”

Li Jiancheng's face suddenly darkened.

Feng Deyi simply closed his eyes and recuperated, Wei Zheng was originally Li Jiancheng's lackey, but now he and Li Jiancheng have bitten, the dog bites the dog, and he can just steal the fun.

Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng from afar, frowning.

Chen Ying was also secretly anxious.

Wei Zheng continued unrelentingly: "What the minister really wants to say today is not that Yang Jian is not in the right position, but that his cadres are arbitrary, which is the fundamental reason for the fall of the Sui Dynasty. ”

Li Jiancheng pursed his lips and looked at Wei Zheng helplessly.

Wei Zhengdao: "Yang Jian is the founding emperor, he set a precedent for the Son of Heaven to dictate the affairs of the world, it is this precedent that finally destroyed the Sui Dynasty, although Yang Jian is the holy monarch, but he is also authentic - a generation of only husbands." ”

Feng Deyi suddenly opened his eyes.

Yu Wenshi and cast a confused look at Feng Deyi.

Gao Shilian frowned.

Wei Zheng said: "When Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian was in power, these hidden dangers were still hidden under the surface of the water, and when Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty came here, the disasters of national government affairs broke out together. ”

Li Jiancheng listened carefully to Wei Zheng's words, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Chen Ying slowly approached the front, the words in the court today were too sensational, he was really worried, the blood stained the hall.

Wei Zheng turned to look at the ministers and said: "You must all know that before Emperor Wen of Sui, what was handed over to Yang Guang was a rich country, and the Xingluo warehouse next to Luoshui had enough grain for the people of the whole country to eat for a few years; Luoyang's accumulated silk silk is piled up; Chang'an's arsenal of weapons has not been used up until now. Even after the Han Dynasty experienced the rule of Wenjing, the country's financial resources were not as good as the family foundation left by Yang Jian. But who would have thought ......"

Wei Zheng's expression became more and more excited, and he was so excited that he roared and said, "Thirteen years...... Thirteen years, a huge Sui Dynasty, falling flowers and flowing water, vanished? Why? Why can a faint monarch make such a dynasty die suddenly? ”

Wei Zheng spread out his hands, looked around at the hundred officials, and then turned to face Li Jiancheng.

There was silence in the courtroom.

Wei Zheng said: "This is still the bane planted by Emperor Wen of Sui. The authority of Kyushu is in the hands of one person, whether it is the prime minister or Jiuqing, they are all lackeys, not even individuals. ”

Chen Yinghuo's eyes were wide, he looked at Wei Zheng and secretly said, "Wei Xuancheng, you really have a kind!" ”

The ministers also fell into deep thought.

Wei Zheng said: "Yang Guang's three things about the death of the country, the construction of the eastern capital, the construction of the canal, and the conquest of Goryeo, tracing back to the source, are all measures to benefit the country and the people. It's a pity that all these things that have been done by the power of the whole country have been completely destroyed by the method of dictatorship pioneered by Emperor Wen of Sui. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty learned from his father and monopolized power, but he couldn't really manage all the big and small affairs of the country, which led to the loss of de facto power. The disabled soldiers are denied pensions, the people who have been affected by disasters are denied relief, the rebels are not suppressed, and the rivers that are overflowing are not governed.

Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Why is all this?" ”

Wei Zhengdao: "The crux of all this is that ruling the world with one person is just a beautiful dream, and it will not work at all in reality. ”

Wei Zheng's eyes were solemn, and he said to Li Jiancheng in a sincere tone: "Your Majesty, if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark, this is common sense." The world can be owned by one family and one surname, but it must not be ruled by one family and one surname. No matter how great a person's ability is, he can't take into account the people of the world, so if he wants the world to rule, the first thing to be restrained is the supreme imperial power. ”

There was another commotion in the main hall, and the ministers looked at each other.

Feng Deyi's eyes opened slightly, and he immediately stopped talking.

Li Jiancheng got up suddenly, his face was pale, and he pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Zheng, are you opening your eyes for the clan gate?" ”

Wei Zheng turned to look at the ministers and said, "Wei Zheng wants to ask Your Majesty and you, what is a scholar?" ”

Yu Wenhua said with a playful smile on his face: "Doctor Shi, of course that refers to the world's clans and famous counties, they are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Wei Zheng sneered and said, "Yuwen Xiangguo really doesn't like to read." ”

Yu Wenhua and his face sank suddenly.

Wei Zhengdao: "The so-called scholar is the general name of the scholars who traveled with swords in the pre-Qin period; The so-called doctor is a general term for the vassals of the pre-Qin princes, among the two, the former is a commoner, the latter is a servant, and neither of them can be regarded as real nobles. The scholar has nothing to do with the world's gate valves at all. Before the Warring States period, there were only doctors, but since the beginning of the Warring States period, scholars who were born in the common people, with their talents and abilities, have become princes and become ministers, and scholars have come from this. ”

Yu Wenhua and the old man's face turned red, and he roared with all his might: "What nonsense! ”

Wang Qi quietly stood up and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, what Wei Zheng said is true. Since they are lined up with third-class people such as agriculture and industry, scholars naturally belong to the ...... Among the common people. ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Wei Zheng, what do you want to say?" ”

Wei Zheng bowed to Li Jiancheng and said: "The minister thinks that His Majesty is elected as a scholar, walks the royal road, accepts advice, often introspects, attaches importance to power, and governs the world with scholars, which is the fundamental way of peace in the Tang Dynasty and Chang'an in the world." ”

Chen Ying silently recited Wei Zheng's words in his mouth: "Follow the royal road, accept advice, often introspect, re-emphasize power, and rule the world with scholars......"

Li Jiancheng whispered to himself thoughtfully: "Choose scholars, follow the royal road, accept advice, often introspect, emphasize power, and rule the world with scholars." ”

Gao Shilian looked at Wei Zheng in amazement.

Feng Deyi's hands began to tremble.

Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng in surprise, Fang Xuanling didn't expect that Wei Zheng's pattern would be so big, once Li Jiancheng listened to Wei Zheng, why worry about the Tang Dynasty? Can't the world be at peace for long?

There was a long silence in the court.

Chen Ying seemed to cry, he was not moved by Wei Zheng's words, of course, with his IQ, it was not so, he felt that he had really encountered a great era.

Without Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty, Chen Ying didn't know whether Li Jiancheng could become a heavenly khan. However, seeing that Wei Zheng actually used the thinking of the ancients to coincide with him.

Chen Ying wants the Tang Dynasty to be able to select scholars, change the political hall into a cabinet, and govern the world with a responsible cabinet, even if the future emperor is an idiot, the court can still operate, and the country can still be stable for a long time.

In later generations, there are countless smears of the Ming Dynasty, the key is that there are many wonderful emperors, Zhengde is fun, lawless to play, Jiajing likes alchemy, and there is Emperor Wanli who has not been in court for thirty years. However, the Ming Dynasty still did not finish playing under the governance of so many unscrupulous emperors, which is enough to show that the political system of the Ming Dynasty is perfect.

It's just a pity that Emperor Chongzhen was too self-righteous, he broke the political balance of the imperial court, and as a result, he listened to the Donglin Party.

Suddenly, Chen Ying was full of confidence in the future of Datang. is also full of admiration for Wei Zheng, but it is very rare to feel that he can be a minister and do Wei Zheng's part.

At least, Chen Ying thought to himself that he would never be like Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng, who dared to risk the world.

Sunset.

The ministers poured out of the hall exhausted.

Wei Zheng walked slowly to the back of the queue.

Feng Deyi staggered with the support of Feng Daoyan.

Chen Ying also yawned and rushed out of the hall, stopped Wei Zheng, and respectfully clasped his fists at him and saluted: "Xuan Chenggong, accept Chen Ying's worship!" ”

When Wei Zheng heard this, he looked at Chen Ying with some surprise.

Wei Zheng really found it difficult to see through Chen Ying, Chen Ying's innovative move was a bit conservative in Wei Zheng's opinion, and he really didn't look down on Chen Ying.

It's just that Wei Zheng doesn't understand that Chen Ying has too many scruples.

Yang Guang is a lesson from the past, the steps are too difficult, and it is easy to pull the egg!

At this moment, a yellow gate came and stopped in front of Chen Ying and Wei Zheng and said, "Chen Xiangguo, Wei Xiangguo, Your Majesty invites you to the apse and have dinner together." ”

Feng Deyi trembled when he heard this.

Hundreds of officials stopped one after another to see Wei Zheng and Chen Ying.

Yu Wenhua's face was pale and bloodless.

The corners of Chen Shuda's mouth suddenly surged, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
