Chapter 194: The Law of the Ancestors cannot be abolished
Yang Mingkun's personality is like hanging up, he has no courage, he is afraid of wolves before doing things and tigers after doing things. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
These do not prevent Yang Mingkun from working hard to rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty, hoping to be a promising gentleman.
After more than ten years on the throne, he worked day and night, relying on his own efforts to slightly alleviate the internal contradictions of the Tang Dynasty, and in foreign wars, there were also some victories.
After a moment of silence, Yang Mingkun opened his mouth and asked: "Liulang, you have the idea of changing and trying to become stronger, do you have a detailed strategy?" ”
"Father, the son has a rough idea, if the father and the emperor change, the son can draft a detailed strategy, and let the father and emperor see it!" Yang Yue's words were calm, neither happy nor angry.
"Well, you might as well say it!" Yang Mingkun picked up the teacup and said, very interested in hearing about Yang Yue's plan.
Yang Yue got up, moved to the center of the study, and said: "At present, there are four problems faced by Datang, one of which is that the military family is too powerful, and the military generals are colluded to affect the promulgation of government decrees.
Second, the family of gate valves controlled the economy and annexed fertile land, which led to the increase of taxes on the people, the reduction of the tax burden on the court, and a large amount of taxes flowed into the hands of the family gate valves.
Third, the combat effectiveness of the 16 Guards is not strong, and it is impossible to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while; in addition, the military family controls the government and a large number of children of wealthy families join the army, destroying the promotion channels established in the army and seriously undermining the enthusiasm of the soldiers in combat.
Fourth, the economy is stiff and prices are inflated, which seriously affects the revenue of the state treasury. ”
The four points mentioned by Yang Yue are not untargeted, they are all actual phenomena in the court, and in the local area.
When Yang Mingkun heard this, a smile appeared on his face, what Yang Yue said was true, pointing directly to the key points of current politics, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, but he underestimated Yang Yue's ability.
The crown prince, the king of Chu, and the king of Shu heard about it, and although they were against Yang Yue, they also nodded in affirmation.
At the same time, the three of them were horrified in their hearts, in the past, Yang Yue rarely showed his martial arts, but now he has powerful martial arts. In the past, everyone regarded Yang Yue as a battlefield martial artist, but in terms of current politics, he also had unique opinions.
Such a civil and military prince not only poses a threat to the position of the crown prince, but also affects the king of Chu and the king of Shu to seize the throne.
For a while, the three of them couldn't help but have other thoughts, and they all became more and more defensive about Yang Yue.
However, Yang Mingkun heard that Yang Yue pointed out the current political malpractices, and his interest became stronger and stronger, and the blue and white porcelain teacup was placed in the dragon case: "Liulang, you pointed out the current political malpractices, what is the solution?" ”
Ask a question, and naturally there is a way to solve it.
Yang Yue did not hesitate and said: "Father, the son probably has a solution in his heart, and today he said that if it is implemented, it still needs to be improved." ”
"What are your opinions, don't let them go, the prince, the king of Chu, the king of Shu, are all outstanding people, if there are deficiencies, everyone can brainstorm and supplement and improve." Yang Mingkun said.
The prince and others smiled bitterly, brainstorming, meaning to participate in the change, many vested interest groups, bound to be dissatisfied, rebel against themselves, wouldn't it be a stone to shoot themselves in the foot.
Yang Yue didn't think much about it, and said bluntly: "Father, in view of the collusion between the two military families, the sons suggested reopening the imperial examinations, martial arts, recruiting new people, injecting fresh blood into the court, and breaking the situation of the military family controlling the court."
The family controls the economy and annexes fertile land, so it may wish to re-measure the number of acres of land in the country, set a standard for acres of land, and levy heavy taxes on each mu of land if the standard is exceeded.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the 16 Guards, on the one hand, the military military system was established, and on the other hand, the military merit system was re-established, and the merit was recorded by virtue of the head.
Finally, in order to break the rigidity of the domestic economy and the lack of taxes in the court, the court took the initiative to support small and medium-sized businessmen.
In addition, Erchen felt that in order to ensure the success of the reform, it was necessary to strengthen the law and escort the change.
Once the reform is successful, Datang will usher in a new atmosphere, and the emperor will be able to revive Datang. ”
Yang Yue Daoming suggested, by the way, he took a very vague picture of Yang Mingkun's fart.
"Good, good, good!" Hearing this, Yang Mingkun was overjoyed, praised him repeatedly, and said: "Liulang, there is you, in the past, my father looked down on you." ”
Hearing this, Yang Yue was still not happy or sad, and after bowing to Yang Mingkun, he slowly retreated to his seat, lifted his long clothes, sat on the chair, and raised the teacup to moisten his throat.
He proposed a change strategy, whether Yang Mingkun will implement it, still needs to be discussed with the princes and courtiers, and the matter is not urgent.
Sure enough, Yang Mingkun thought for a while, his eyes swept over the prince, and asked: "Prince, King of Chu, King of Shu, what do you think of Liulang's reform proposal?" ”
The prince welcomes the change. After all, the success of the reform is beneficial to Datang, and after he succeeds to the throne, he will receive the benefits brought by the change, and just take the opportunity to open up territory and reshape the supreme glory of Datang.
However, in Yang Yue's suggestion, the strategy against the military family, no matter how you look at it, is deliberately aimed at him.
Therefore, the prince never agreed, and took the lead in getting up and saying: "Father, the disadvantages of the current politics pointed out by Liulang are very much agreed with by the sons, but the sons dare not agree with the policy strategy of changing and trying to strengthen, and in the eyes of the sons, it is completely messy!" ”
"?" The prince took the lead in standing up, and Yang Mingkun showed that the prince knew the shortcomings of the court and definitely supported the change. Unexpectedly, the prince directly rejected Yang Yue's suggestion.
Yang Mingkun was deeply shocked, like a bucket of cold water poured on a fire, and he was angry in his heart, but he knew that the reform was strong, and the stakes were very high, and he must not make a statement.
For change to be successful, it needs to be open to all parties. Hiding his anger, he said with a pleasant face: "What does the prince mean, Liulang suggested, what's wrong, but it's okay to say it!" ”
"Father, the law of the ancestors is immutable, and the ancient laws and old rites have changed. Moreover, some of Rokuro's suggestions are aimed at the military family, and the rabbit bites people when they are in a hurry, if the military family unites, they have soldiers and money in their hands, and it is easy to cause a big disaster. ”
"Yes, after the prince entered Beijing, the Jiufang Festival made it temporarily peaceful, what if the military family had money and food, who would dare to make a mistake!" When he first heard it, Yang Mingkun was indeed a little jealous in his heart, however, he quickly figured it out.
Yang Yue asked the prince to enter Beijing and stabilize the Jiufang Festival, and at this time, he took the opportunity to propose a strong reform, and this series of things must be closely linked.
What's more, Yang Yue's strategy of changing the law, Yang Mingkun saw the hope of the revitalization of Datang.
The prince's words and deeds made Yang Mingkun extremely disappointed, and he didn't pay attention to the prince, so he asked the king of Chu and the king of Shu: "San Lang, Qi Lang, what do you think." ”
Hearing this, the King of Chu and the King of Shu glanced at each other, stood up together, and the King of Chu said: "Father, the son agrees with the imperial brother's point of view, the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished, and Liulang's words are joking about the future of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"That's right, the law of the ancestors has been implemented for hundreds of years, and the Tang Dynasty is strong. However, when the court is worried about internal and external troubles, the implementation of changes will definitely destroy the foundation of the court. The King of Shu responded to the suggestion of the King of Chu.
For a while, Yang Mingkun was completely puzzled, in his opinion, Yang Yue's proposal was very good, if someone mentioned it in the early years, he would definitely have implemented it in Datang.
Unexpectedly, the four princes and the three princes retorted.
couldn't help but say angrily: "Prince, the three of you, if you deny Liulang's suggestion, can you hurt your own interests?" (To be continued.) )
