Chapter 843: Shuo Zheng
Just when everyone's hearts were pounding, Wang Ju suddenly spoke. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Since ancient times, there are only two ways to govern the people, one is the foolish people, the typical is the nine-product Zhongzheng system of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, telling the people that some people are born, even if they are nerds, they are also superior, and some people are born, even if they are high, as long as they are not good, they are also inferior. In this way, if the people of all walks of life are put in an immobile position, and some means are used to make the people become ignorant and willingly live a poor life, the country will be stable. Oh, by the way, in addition to some backward dynasties in our previous China, there are also Brahmanism in the small barbarian countries of the south, which also uses this means to maintain the stability of various countries. ”
In fact, the Song Dynasty still sometimes implemented some foolish policies, but most people had already rejected the nine-product Zhongzheng system of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Qi people.
"There is another kind, that is, to pay attention to the people's livelihood, so that the people have no worries about food and clothing, in summary, it is people-oriented, the king is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, but also can overturn the boat. However, the best execution is still our dynasty, so although there are some bandits and riots, they can never shake the country's foundation. ”
This article is approved by all the scholars, but the question is what kind of people and people this person, this people! In other words, the poor people are not people, or people. Your Majesty, my lords, I have a very different idea from many scholars on this matter. For these poor people, I have always called the commoners, the equal Ping, or the poor, the poor and the poor. But many people are called small people, erect people. ”
"I don't say whether this kind of call is right or not, but one thing I want to say is that the reason why there are these calls is because these people have no opportunity to read, get an education, because they are poor, they don't have the opportunity to read, they don't know the meaning of poetry, but are these people really ignorant? First of all, I'm talking about morality, even the 'small people' in the poorest areas, in fact, they also have a moral outlook, hating cheating, cheating, extortion, and stealing, and they also have a simple sense of morality, right and wrong, and human affairs. ”
"Besides, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, the court's requirements for scholars and doctors are only to be more public, less selfish, and put the interests of the court above the interests of their personal families. But in the northwest, it was a group of illiterate people, who did not know the meaning of poetry and scriptures, and an army composed of small people and people, who used their lives to protect the safety of the Great Song Dynasty! What is the most precious thing in the world? It's not glory and wealth, it's life, even life is gone, what else to talk about glory and wealth! ”
"But what did the court give to these small people? What did you give to the doctor! ”
In fact, that country will not really be united, not to mention that the Chinese like infighting, see the dispute between the two parties of the United States and imperialism. Why there is this earth, it is also due to infighting.
But now is the most critical moment for the Song Dynasty to prosper, can it make this overpower?
That is, these high-ranking officials, doctors, and magnates with unprecedented salaries are not as good as a group of ordinary people and soldiers who don't even know a single big word!
"My ancestors recognized the concept of elite governance, and I also recognized the concept of elite governance, but whether my ancestors, or Your Majesty, or I, while recognizing elite governance, I still hope that everyone will be more public, focus on the country, and try to give more vitality to ordinary poor people, so that Qi people, so that the country can last for a long time, and our children and grandchildren can enjoy the glory of a stable, rich and powerful dynasty."
"However, since the last years of Renzong, the taste has changed......"
"There is one of the most noble professions in the world, they are called ferrymen, Mencius ferries the world with his noble spirit, the three brothers of Qi Taishi use their historical pen to ferry the world, Su Wu uses his talisman to ferry, Zhang Xun uses his teeth to ferry, Yan Zhenqing uses his tongue to ferry, Zhuge Liang uses his bow to do his best, and after death he ferries for the world, Fan Wenzheng uses his congenital worries and worries, and the joy of the world after the world ferries for the world, and the teacher uses his heart for heaven and earth, and sets up a life for the people. In order to continue to learn from the saints, to open peace for all generations and ferry for the world. ”
This kind of integrity is the backbone of China, what is the backbone, one is this kind of heroic righteousness, and the other is the spirit of anyone who offends our Han Dynasty, although it is far away, it is this spirit of self-respect and self-improvement that makes the Han people still stand up after the nomadic invasion again and again. However, I found that since Renzong, this kind of temperament and this spirit have begun to be completely discarded in my dynasty. ”
"Of course, it's really hard to be this kind of ferryman, my lords, you haven't reached such heights, and neither do I. But we can't reach this height, but we can make a pile of cow dung. ”
"Ah," everyone was dumbfounded.
"I am a wild child who came out of a ravine, and compared with Zhugong, I really lack a warmth."
The gentleman is gentle, warm and moist like jade.
But it's too warm, that's another word, feminine!
But Wang Ju didn't want to say more, and continued: "Therefore, I sometimes have a very bad temper and are stubborn. So that kind of ferryman, I can't do it, but I don't mind making a pile of cow dung, a pile of cow dung that makes the flower of the Great Song Dynasty bloom with gorgeous flowers! ”
I see...... A few big guys don't know what to say.
"I don't care too much about the evaluation of the world, but no matter what, at this time, I hope that the princes will support me, whether Your Majesty can become the Zhongxing Mingjun who surpasses Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and whether the Great Song Dynasty can be Zhongxing, it will be a year later."
After Wang Ju finished speaking, he stood up and bowed.
There are two measures to take when this soil covers the sky, one is that the fish die and the net is broken.
There is also a cold treatment, but to treat it cold, not only Zhao Ji took the initiative to press, but also these prime ministers cooperated. Otherwise, Wang Ju just wanted to bow his head, and the matter would not be clear.
…………
As an official, he mostly says one thing and does another.
Often, a leader holds a meeting above and says that he is fighting corruption and advocating clean government, but he doesn't know that the person who is standing at the door is ****** ready to wait for him to finish speaking and go to the stage to arrest him......
The Song Dynasty is similar, but the form is different, for example, how many officials really love the people like sons?
Fan Chunren didn't believe that Wang Ju was put down gently like this.
Not only Fan Chunren, but also many ministers would not believe that Wang Ju would let him go like this.
Subsequently, Wang Ju's dynamics seem to be the same.
The next day, Wang Ju paid a New Year's greeting to Cai Qu.
To be precise, Zhao Ji was the prime minister and could not include Wang Ju. It may be that many descendants are very confused about the official system of the Song Dynasty, but in fact, as long as they know, it is not difficult to identify.
For example, in the errand official system, the official is the salary, the rank official is the honorary official, and the rank is the senior, and the bad official is the real power official.
For example, the prime minister of the western government only has the right to deal with military affairs, and only has the right to propose government affairs, on the contrary, the prime minister of the eastern government not only has the right to handle government affairs, but also has some rights to intervene in military affairs.
The prime minister of Dongfu is divided into two levels, Pingzhang and Governor, and the governor is undoubtedly the deputy minister, but there are some differences between Pingzhang, and this difference is also easy to identify. Later, it was restructured, and it was Zhongshu Ling as the prime minister, and in history, the left servant of Zhongshu Shilang was the prime minister, and the right servant was the second minister.
Therefore, there are only seven prime ministers of the Zhao Dynasty: Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Han Jiang, Wang Anshi, Wu Yun, Wang Qi, and Cai Qu.
However, it is also necessary to look at it, just like when Fan Zhongyan was participating in political affairs, there were Zhang Dexiang and Yan Shu above the East Mansion, but because of the Qingli New Deal, in fact, the power of government affairs was not in the hands of Yan Zhang and the others, but in the hands of Fan Zhongyan. In the same way, when Zeng Gongliang and Han Jiang were prime ministers, because of Wang Anshi's change of law, they did not have more real power than Wang Anshi.
This nature has been extended to Wang Ju, although Wang Ju entered the East Mansion for the second time and did not serve as the prime minister, there is either Lao Wang or Cai Qu, but the most real power is Wang Ju, especially when the prime minister falls into the hands of Cai Qu after Lao Wang dies.
Even now, Wang Ju still has more or less huge influence in the court, but how to look at it, if Cai is narrow-minded, the two will turn against each other if they don't get it right, but Wang Ju has always done well, the first Cai is indeed the prime minister who Wang Ju gave to him, and the second Wang Ju has never fought with Cai Qu, plus the two do not have many conflicts in government affairs, so overall, the relationship between Cai and Wang Ju is still good.
At this time, what did Wang Ju want to do when he visited Cai Qu?
Soon after, before the Lantern Festival was celebrated, Wang Ju left the capital.
Now that the northwest is still cold, Wang Ju doesn't need to be in such a hurry. Therefore, this makes some people worry about Zhong Zhong, they are not worried that Wang Ju will learn An Lushan, it is okay to want to be a powerful minister in the Song Dynasty, but it is difficult to be An Lushan. The reason why I am worried is that once Wang Ju goes to the front line, it is easier to cause some turmoil.
But the worried, or worried, are only a handful of people who know the inside story.
The most discussed thing in the capital was what happened at the palace banquet, Wang Ju's inexplicable actions at the banquet, and the court's agreement to negotiate peace with Western Xia.
It doesn't matter what is in front of you, the right to be Wang Ju has a nerve.
The main thing is the back, why did the imperial court negotiate peace with Western Xia in this good situation.
Short of money?
If it weren't for the high-ranking officials, they wouldn't know about Wang Ju's next huge immigration plan and the construction of a great wall, and they would even think that the imperial court's inventory could fully cope with the next Pingxia War.
Is there a lack of generals? Don't be funny.
Lack of weapons? Not to mention.
Or the lack of logistics, that's not right, I don't know how much logistics has been transported to the northwest in recent years.
In fact, if it is a little later, the logistics will make many people suspicious, but now, the weather is still very cold, and most of the transportation has stopped.
Therefore, many officials really thought that the imperial court had made peace with Western Xia.
This has puzzled many officials and ordinary people.
In fact, the Song Dynasty exposed its "ambition" at the end of last year, because an edict was issued at the end of last year, and the name of the era was changed from this year onwards, and the number was "Shuozheng".
If you don't change the year name, this year is the eleventh year of Yuanfeng, it doesn't matter, you don't necessarily have to change the year name after ten years, just like Tang Taizong, who was the king for twenty-three years, only used one year name, Yongzhen.
Some kings like to change the era name, such as Song Renzong used nine era names, and some don't like to change the era name, for example, Tang Taizong only used one era name, Tang Xuanzong only used two era names, the emperor who doesn't like to change the era name is not necessarily a good emperor, and the emperor who likes to change the era name is not necessarily a bad emperor, this is just a personal hobby.
Zhao Ji originally used only two era names, Xining, Yuanfeng, and now Zhengshuo, but three era names, which is actually not much, even Song Taizu also used three era names.
However, there are two precautions for era names, the first of which cannot overlap with the era names of the previous dynasty.
There is a story here, it is said that Zhao Pu read less, Zhao Kuangyin once convened the minister to discuss changing the year name, changing the Yuan Qiande, Qian is the hexagram of the extreme yang, the hexagram of the people, the people are virtuous, Zhao Pu said again and again. A sinister smile flashed across Lu Duoxun's face on the side, a few years later, the Song Dynasty destroyed Houshu, and some items in the Houshu palace were sent to the palace. Lu Duoxun immediately stepped forward and said that this was the pseudo-Shu used to use the era name. Zhao Kuangyin immediately sent someone to check and read the classics, and sure enough, this was the case. So in a fit of anger, he picked up a brush and made a cross on Zhao Pu's face. Zhao Pu left the court with a gloomy face, and asked him to wash his face, but Zhao Pu refused. The next day, Zhao Kuangyin saw that the ink on Zhao Pu's face was still there, and asked, Zhao Pu said that the minister had made a big mistake, and he did not dare to wash his face without His Majesty's instructions. Zhao Kuangyin haha, the matter is over. But since then, Zhao Pu and Lu Duosun have formed a hatred.
This story is not credible, because Lu Duosun was still a local official at that time, and he did not serve as a scholar of Hanlin until the time of Kaibao, and entered the high-level practice, how could he be eligible to participate in the era of Qiande?
Therefore, there is another version, Zhao Kuangyin used the name of Qiande, and everyone did not pay attention to it. Until after the destruction of Shu, there was a palace maid in Houshu was sent into the harem, one day Zhao Kuangyin looked at the mirror box of this palace maid, and found that the back of the bronze mirror had five words cast in the fourth year of Qiande, and was greatly surprised (because it was only three years of Qiande at that time). So he summoned the ministers to ask, Zhao Pu and other prime ministers couldn't answer, Zhao Kuangyin summoned all the bachelors again, and the bachelors Tao Gu and Dou Yi said that this mirror must be a matter of the former Shu, and the former Shu Wang Yan had used this era name. Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized when he heard this, and said that the prime minister must use a scholar.
But this rumor is not very credible, especially the latter sentence, most of which was made up by the scholar later, because after knowing this incident, Zhao Kuangyin did not change the year name, and the Qiande era name was still used for three years, and it was not until the second year of the sixth year of Qiande that the era name Kaibao was changed.
However, it was indeed a mistake made by Song Taizu's ministers.
Why?
In ancient records, it is impossible to exist how many years AD, but how many years are embellished with year names, such as the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong ordered Li Daozong to escort Li Daozong's daughter Princess Wencheng into Tibet, which was actually what happened in 641 AD. For example, Zhao Ji died in the spring of the eighth year of Yuanfeng in history, which actually happened in 1085 AD.
This is a great unification, even if the era of separation, it is best not to overlap the era name, such as when Kaibao, because the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue were vassals to the Song Dynasty, the era name used by these two countries is Kaibao, but other countries use other era names, such as the Northern Han Dynasty at the same time is Tianhui, Guangyun, the Southern Han Dynasty is Dabao, Liao is Yingli, Baoning, Dali is Shunde, Ming Zheng, Khotan is Tianzun, and the Ding'an State established by the Jurchen Uprising in the northwest uses the era name Yuanxing.
If you open the books or some things of the Southern Han Dynasty at this time, there are words on them for ten years of Dabao, it is 968 AD, that is, the first year of Kaibao of the Song Dynasty.
But if the era name is used indiscriminately, the whole time will be messed up, and at least there will be a lot of confusion when sorting out the history books.
Secondly, the year name has a certain symbolic meaning, just like Xining, Xi, prosperity, harmony and noisy righteousness, rather is peace and calm, the two words together to understand Zhao Ji's painstaking efforts, well, now that I am on the throne, my father is also in the ground, so all kinds of disputes caused by the Puyi dispute can be settled.
There is also a famous Xi, Kangxi, stability and dispute, it is a foregone conclusion that I will enter the Central Plains of the Qing Dynasty, you Han people should not resist again!
Another example is Yuanfeng, in fact, from this time on, the "economic crisis" of the Song Dynasty has been resolved, at least the arrears are gone, and the treasury has begun to be full, so this era name is used.
So it caused another problem, the Chinese dynasties not only have many large unified dynasties, but also many small secession countries, puppet countries, want the era name does not overlap, but also have a certain symbolic and auspicious meaning, then the more difficult it is to take the year name, so the Ming and Qing dynasties are helpless, more than one year name is used.
Therefore, this year's change of the era name, no need to make other explanations, key health is the symbolic meaning of this Shuozheng.
What is Shuozheng? Then you have to look at another word, Zhengshuo.
The first day of the new year is called Zhengshuo, and the emperor's new calendar is also called Zhengshuo, so in ancient times, from Xia to Shang to Zhou to Qin to Han, the emperor Yi surname was ordered to change the calendar, until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, only to follow the legendary summer calendar, that is, the earliest lunar calendar, has been passed down to later generations, this calendar has been stabilized.
However, Zhengshuo has since given more meaning, that is, the most orthodox dynasty in the world.
Therefore, in order to beautify the orthodoxy of Shu, Yonghong, the minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms, said, "Today, there are three Zhengshuo.
Obviously, Shu is definitely not the Zhengshuo of the Three Kingdoms.
And what about the time of the Song Dynasty? The Song Dynasty seems to be unified, but why did the Black Khan say that the Liao State was China?
Because the Song Dynasty is a unified dynasty, the smallest area and the strength is also very weak, don't ask the Western Jin Dynasty, if it weren't for the rebellion of the Eight Kings within the Western Jin Dynasty, don't talk about the remaining poor Huns, even the Xianbei people would not be able to enter the Central Plains!
Therefore, as some people with lofty ambitions, I always feel that the Song Dynasty, the Zhengshuo Dynasty, is a bit unworthy of the name.
So what kind of dynasty can be called the Zhengshuo Dynasty in name and reality?
First of all, Jiaozhi has to be taken, because since ancient times, Jiaozhi has been the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Dali doesn't have to be really governed, but at least it has to belong to the Central Plains Dynasty.
Both of these goals have been achieved ahead of schedule.
But what about the North?
Don't mention the Western Regions in the Northwest, now that scientific and technological productivity and transportation are like this, even if the Western Regions and all the tribal regimes on the Qinghai Plateau take the initiative to join the Song Dynasty, how can they be governed?
But at least the Hexi Corridor and the Lingyuan Plain, and the North and South Hetao are ruled or fettered.
However, this large area not only could not be governed and fettered, but on the contrary, it became a nightmare for the Song Dynasty.
Looking at the northeast again, not to mention the Goryeo region north of southern Liaoning and the Han River, at least the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the most critical gateway in the north, must belong to the Central Plains Dynasty. Only at this point can the Song Dynasty be truly called the Great Song Dynasty, or the real Zhengshuo Dynasty.
Well, if you understand this meaning, then you will know what Shuo Zheng is, that is, from this year, the Song Dynasty began to march towards this real Zheng Shuo Dynasty.
But at this critical moment, the court negotiated peace? The court has made peace! (To be continued.) )
