Chapter 751: History as a Mirror
"Your Majesty, it's been found out."
建yì...... Or is it called instigation? There was more than one person who asked Zhao Xie to go to Changping to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers, including Zhang Liang, whom Lu Zhe had always paid attention to, and Wei Bao was also one of them, and there were some characters that Lu Zhe had never heard of before.
Of course, Yan Bi did not go out in person, and it was Chen Ping who contacted Zhao Xie's attendants to find out some words. In fact, as long as you check who Zhao Xie has been in contact with recently, you can use the elimination method to confirm who has the motive, and you can feel the pulse lightly.
"Zhang Liang and Wei Bao?". Lu Zhe fell into a deep groan.
The countries are about to merge, and there are more and more small moves of the countries, not to say that they want to resist the merger or anything, no one wants to use the mantis arm as a car under the general trend, but the competition for some interests is always inevitable.
Of course, Lu Zhe didn't want the former countries and the Qin State to live a happy life of "good brothers" from now on, and the limited confrontation of those old forces was a good thing for him, but he also did not allow these forces to die to the death.
Looking at the dynasties, the most dangerous thing for any emerging country is the first and second generations after the founding of the country. The first generation is because the old old forces have not completely died out, and they may face a strong counterattack. The danger of the second generation depends on the age of the founding king, the founding king is too old, and he died within a few years after the founding of the country, with the death of the founding king, the deterrence of those old forces naturally does not exist, and the registration of the second generation of new kings is bound to have some turmoil, which also extends to whether the founding king's education of the second generation of successors is successful. Whether the second generation of new monarchs have the ability to keep the country has become the key to whether this emerging empire can continue to survive.
The founding of the country is simple, but it is not easy to defend the country, at the time of the founding of the country, you can use force at will to solve a trouble, but in the changes of the times and the needs of society, after a period of time, you can no longer use force at will, but to try your best to ensure the stability of the country, according to the words of the Celestial Empire, it is "harmony".
Yousui was strong enough, right? Yang Jian expanded rapidly after replacing Hou Zhou, and the territory of the Great Sui in his hands surpassed that of any previous dynasty, and it can even be said that the Tang Dynasty, which has been praised as incomparably powerful since then, cannot be compared. Datang lost the Heshuo area. Whether the Central Plains regime controls the Heshuo region has always been a watershed to distinguish between the strong and the weak militarily, and the Tang Dynasty was also completely defeated by the Great Sui in terms of population, and the cultural ones are not easy to compare, after all, it is the same ethnic group in the same land, and the Great Sui has not perished, who can say that there will not be the same cultural glory.
In the Yang Jian era, the threat of the Hu people in the steppe in the north was almost non-existent, and the south also expanded to modern Vietnam, but in such a situation, in the Yang Guang era, because of a Goguryeo with a population of less than 6 million, the gutter was turned three times in a row. As a result, the powerful Great Sui was also replaced by Li Tang.
For many people, there is a lot less to learn from the previous history, after all, the situation of the pre-Qin period in ancient times and the era of great unification after it are two different environments. But for Lu Zhe, there are no "missing", although he has not read the "Twenty-Four Chapters". But there is always something about history.
Yang Guang's conquest of Goguryeo on the one hand really wanted to regain the Chinese territory occupied by Goguryeo, and on the other hand, he wanted to use the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo to weaken the domestic gate valve family. It's a pity that the step is too big, and the result is a pull.
In the just-ended pre-Qin era of antiquity, there was no zĆ i gate valve in this era. There are no families, but the old royal power of the nations. In fact, if Lu Zhe is willing to use force to solve the problem and use the army to sweep away the countries, it will be impossible to completely eliminate the old forces of the countries, after all, as long as he is willing to hide, it is not so simple to eliminate. Since it was impossible to completely eliminate the old forces, on the one hand, he wanted to ensure that the population of the land of China would not be lost, and on the other hand, he also used this method to keep the old forces floating on the surface of the water, so that they could "survive".
It is now 214 BC, and Lu Zhe is only twenty-eight years old this year, and twenty-eight years old is the age with the highest energy for a man, and there are at least thirty or forty years to reign. He and some of the old forces have an absolute advantage in age, even if it is just a deterrent, it can be suppressed for a long time, so that some people who want to jump will be bogeyed. Another thing is more strange, although eight years have passed, and Lu Zhe has been battling east and west for eight years, but time does not seem to have changed too much in Lu Zhe's appearance, except that his skin has become wheat-colored because of frequent sun exposure, he has always maintained the appearance of just crossing that time, and he has never had any illness in the past eight years.
"Keep an eye on them." Lu Zhe's eyes flashed with depth.
Yan Bi naturally responded to the "promise", and saw that Lu Zhe had no other instructions, so he retreated.
The nations? It is difficult to do anything under the oppression of the general trend, especially with the military to economic development of the country under the rule of Lu Zhe, it is difficult for the war-torn countries to compete with it, and what cannot be done by military means may be made up by other means, but as long as Lu Zhe does not make fatal mistakes, it is impossible for the countries to turn over again.
Lu Zhe believes that he has treated the royal family well, and he is not harsh on those who are willing to serve him, and if such a policy still cannot make some people give up useless work, he will not be stingy with blood. He was thinking about how to face the group of people from Qin Guo, and he was also thinking about how to arrange the group of generals who came from Sanchuan, when a noisy footstep interrupted.
In these years, people do not wear boots indoors, it is customary to wear bare feet or only a pair of socks, and the sound of stamping on the soles of the feet and the wooden floor is relatively small, and after the wooden door with white paper is pushed open, Lu Qi and Lu Yi, and some other maids also appear outside the door.
"Daddy" and "See the king" were shouted one after another, and the two little dolls came in with their little legs after shouting. The maids sat down on their knees.
The two little ones were barefoot, and it seemed that they had just been freshly dressed, barefoot, and their hair was draped casually on their backs, and they were simply wearing Confucian shirts, and the buttons of Confucian shirts were only slightly buttoned.
The button is naturally from Lu Zhe's handwriting, if there is no Lu Zhe as a traveler, the button will not appear until the end of the Ming Dynasty or the stage of "I am in the Qing Dynasty", which is a foreign product.
Lu Zhe looked at the maids outside the door. The handmaidens carried not a small number of things, such as outward clothes and a long crown to collect their hair, the necessary belts and small swords, and small backpacks for snacks.
The habits of the ancient pre-Qin were not abandoned by Lu Zhe, and at such a young age, a little bit of identity was naturally to wear a sword, because Lu Zhe set a martial national policy, and in addition to prohibiting the people from owning crossbows, other weapons were not prohibited within the territory. Of course, there must be restrictions on the specifications. However, it is generally in appearance, for example, the head of the Qianshou cannot wear a weapon in the style of a scholar (not just a scribe), that is, the distinction between the scabbard shell.
In fact, powerful countries really don't prohibit people from owning weapons. For example, the bows and crossbows of the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties are forbidden for long-range weapons, and the purchase of short soldiers is encouraged. Not prohibiting it is a self-confidence in the country's armed forces, and it is also to enable the country's leaders to skillfully use weapons for training, so that when they are recruited, they can kill the enemy immediately after becoming a soldier. Some of the times when the possession of weapons was forbidden to the people. Either a small number of aliens rule over the majority of the nation, or they feel that their national honor is not right, and they are afraid that the object of their rule will overthrow them. Either they treat the interior far more harshly than the outside, for fear of causing a backlash and losing their dominance.
It is a foolish act to prohibit a nation from being fundamentally martial, there are too many examples to illustrate the dilemma faced by such a country when the country is at war, of course Lu Zhe is afraid of the "revolution" that will happen under his rule, but he is more afraid that a group will lose its martial spirit because of the ban, and the kind of terrible thing that will happen when the alien invasion has a population advantage of several times and dozens of times and is powerless to resist. Therefore, the necessary indulgence and encouragement are needed, and the supporting stability cannot be lacking, and it is not advisable to have a surplus of force or civil rule.
The surplus of force needs to have an object to vent, but now there is no shortage of such objects around China, and the foundation of Lu Zhe's founding is also to carry out endless expansion, plunder and continuous expansion in the expansion.
The consequences of the excess of cultural rule have already happened in the Song Dynasty, so Lu Zhe will not learn from the Shang generation to "put swords and guns into the warehouse, and cast swords into plowshares; The horse is put in Nanshan, and the armor is unloaded and returned to the field", the result......
Because he is working towards the goal of unifying the "world island", Lu Zhe does not know where he can expand in his lifetime, and he naturally attaches great importance to the cultivation of the next generation.
Lu Zhe stopped thinking and stared at the two little guys: "Where did Chunqiu learn?" ā
Lu started to move his lips and did not speak, he looked at his younger brother, Lu Yi, who was the eldest son.
Lu Yi tilted his head and thought for a while: "I have learned that Lu Jun appointed Kong Qiu as the ruler, suppressed Sanheng, and successively pressed Sanheng to tear down the walls of the fiefdom. ā
Confucius is naturally the Confucian sage Confucius, and Lu Jun at that time was Lu Aigong, just from the nickname "Mourning", you can know how miserable Lu Jun of that generation was. Lu Aigong appointed Kong Qiu, but he was not a high-ranking official, in fact, he was a city guard or something, but Kong Qiu's other identity was a trusted courtier of Lu Aigong.
Sanheng is also the descendants of Lu Henggong's Jisun, Shusun, and Mengsun, Kong Qiu has spared no effort to suppress Lu Sanheng for a period of time, the reason is that the power of Lu Guojun has been dispersed a lot by Sanheng, Lu Jun naturally wants to feel extremely unbalanced in his heart, so he promoted Kong Qiu such a "loyal monarch faction" to find Sanheng unhappy, and later did achieve some goals, but the consequences were unbearable for Lu Guo.
Kong Qiu spared no effort to suppress Sanheng, and in addition to the monarch of Lu, he was satisfied with this, and he was only satisfied with it, because Sanheng as a vassal was stronger than the monarch, but Sanheng was also an obstacle for Lu to resist Qi's attack on Lu. Some of Sanheng's fiefdoms were obtained in the confrontation with the Qi State, and perfect city defense facilities were built in the occupied area, Kong Qiu suppressed Sanheng and successfully forced Sanheng to demolish the city wall, which made the monarch of the Lu State happy at that time, but the most pleasant was the Qi State.
At this moment, Kong Qiu is like an "international fighter" who is both loyal and great, this fighter has helped the Qi State a lot, leaving no room to compress the strength of Sanheng to the weakest and then being counterattacked, and the fighter is also "revolutionary object" counterattack and exile, but the Lu State has completely become moldy after the exile of this fighter, and the land that was attacked from the Qi State before was demolished by the city defense itself without fortifications, and the army and combat effectiveness of the Lu State were not comparable to the Qi State, and the result was naturally recaptured by the Qi State.
The loss of the land that Lu State took from Qi State is a chain effect, in the war between the two countries, Sanheng was once again hit hard, Lu Guojun hoped that Sanheng's weak goal was achieved, and the land that Lu State could cultivate was also compressed, and the national strength fell by a large margin, not to mention, the loss of the war also made Lu State no longer have the strength to confront Qi State, and in the subsequent series of Qilu wars, Lu State was repeatedly eaten away until it finally perished.
Lu Zhe read "Spring and Autumn" in order to educate children, and the version of "Spring and Autumn" he watched was not a "work" beautified by Confucian disciples, but actually some historical books from the ancient pre-Qin period. After explaining the history, he smiled and asked, "Did you learn anything from it?" āć
Lu Yi blinked, and finally looked at his brother Lu Qi: "My brother has already answered just now, and this time my brother will answer." ā
Lu Qi's biological mother is Wei Ji (Wei Wen), he was born a year earlier than Lu Yi, but Lu Yi's biological mother is Princess Zhao Wan, and Wei Wen is one of the concubines, so he is the eldest son.
"Lu Jun's ability is insufficient, Sanheng has developed his fief as a vassal well, and the vassal's allegiance to the monarch has led to the success of Kongqiu's suppression, but it is also because of the monarch's suppression that the overall strength of the country has weakened, so that the country has lost its strength in the external confrontation, and it is the monarch and the country that finally suffer the consequences." Lu Qi spoke clearly when he spoke, but he glanced at Lu Zhe as he spoke, and finally stopped his eyes on his younger brother Lu Yi.
"So," Lu Yi's little face was full of sternness: "The monarch must face up to his own ability, and the country's cadres can't be bullied." ā
Lu Zhe didn't know if the two little ones had learned these truths by themselves, or who had taught them, but he was still satisfied. (To be continued......)
