Chapter 298: Zhao Gou wants to change the law and is destined to be nondescript
The northern dynasty was rich and the southern dynasty was poor, which is an indisputable fact that is the status quo between the two dynasties that belong to the same Great Song Dynasty today.
As the former prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, Huang Qianshan, who was actually still doing the prime minister's affairs after Li Gang's envoy, naturally knew this reality that was not conducive to the Southern Dynasty.
But the reason why Huang Qianshan can be favored is not only because he is good at flattery and is very comfortable with Zhao Gou's sycophants, but also because his head is not all just a villain's skills, and he still has some real talents.
Knowing the gap between each other, Huang Qianshan had actually thought of countermeasures when he offered advice.
So when Zhao Gou sent a greeting, he immediately spoke: "Since I want to use the Northern Dynasty Law to attack the jade from other mountains, I will do it more thoroughly and simply copy all the new laws of the Northern Dynasty." I firmly believe that as long as Your Majesty is willing to let my dynasty overturn the old rules and implement the law, we will be able to catch up with the Northern Dynasty in terms of treasury and financial resources in a very short time. As long as I am rich again, why is it difficult to do those new methods to buy people's hearts? ”
Comprehensively study the Northern Dynasties to carry out reforms, and as long as they change the laws, they will be able to catch up with the Northern Dynasties financially. Huang Qianshan's words are right, at least Wang Boyan thinks so in his heart, and many ministers of the Southern Dynasty who saw the rapid prosperity of the Northern Dynasty and the strength of the country and the prosperity of the people also think so.
But courtiers are courtiers, they are not emperors, and it is impossible to really understand what the emperor thinks in his heart.
Zhao Gou also saw that the Northern Dynasty was making the country rich and the people strong at a rapid and astonishing speed through the reform of the law. But what he knows more clearly is that the reason why he can still sit firmly on the dragon chair is actually to play with the political system that has been inherited for a hundred years before the Great Song Dynasty.
Is Liu Xing's new law good? Zhao Gou's answer from the bottom of his heart was good, very good, very good.
But no matter how good it is, as an emperor, he can't understand the rules of the new set of laws at all, and no matter how good he is, it will become useless because of this.
Because Zhao Gou knew one thing very clearly, if the emperor of a court couldn't understand the rules of the court, there would only be two results.
The first is that the Southern Dynasty will also be able to keep up with Liu Xing's thoughts in the future. The prime minister, who played the new law handy, helped the Southern Dynasty to quickly become rich and strong without any danger. But once that courtier grasps the power, it is easy to learn from Liu Xing, turn the emperor into a puppet, and make him Zhao Gou into an ornament.
The second is the failure of the law change, because the emperor does not understand and cannot master the new set of laws, even if he orders the implementation, he will only end up with Song Shenzong. It ended in failure.
Expecting minister-led changes is unreliable, only the emperor himself understands those routines. Zhao Gou is not Song Shenzong, and he also knows that none of these ministers in front of him can be compared to Wang Anshi......
Zhao Gou, who was extremely selfish in his heart, completely turned iron blue when he listened to Huang Qianshan's words, and when the Manchu Dynasty civil and military thought it was feasible.
He stood up from the dragon chair suddenly, glared at Huang Qianshan from afar, and said: "The Northern Dynasty is a new law made by the usurper prime minister who abolished the royal law of my Great Song Dynasty, and Liu Xing's thief is Cao Cao in this world, but I am not the former Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty." If you want to use the new set of laws of the Northern Dynasty in my court, unless you, Huang Qianshan, drive me down from this dragon chair first. ”
The world is Zhao Gou's world, and the imperial court is Zhao Gou's court. After Zhao Gou's words finally turned into a roar, Huang Qianshan immediately realized his own mistake, which angered Zhao Gou!
Realizing this, Huang Qianshan Jiagu trembled and knelt on the ground, and shouted urgently: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, the minister has no intention of arrogance, but just wants my dynasty to be able to compete with the Northern Dynasty and become rich and strong as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, yes!" Seeing that Zhao Gou was angry, Wang Boyan, who had just received the grace of Huang Qianshan's concession and was also tied to Huang Qianshan's same car, also hurriedly knelt down to the ground: "Your Majesty should know that Lord Huang Qianshan is by no means a thief of Liu Xing, and both of us are absolutely loyal to Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will be angry, Your Majesty will be angry!" ”
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the dragon face is full of anger.
The courtiers standing in the Daqing Hall saw that the two prime ministers were originally a good strategy. But he didn't expect to anger Long Yan, and he also knelt on the ground with "goo, goo" when Wang Boyan spoke. are all for Huang Qianshan's affection.
Seeing the ministers like this, Zhao Gou felt a burst of pleasure in his heart: this is the majesty that the emperor should have, and this is the majesty of the monarch that cannot be offended. You know that I'm not an ornament as an emperor, right? You courtiers, who will be disrespectful to me in the future......
was happy in his heart, but Zhao Gou couldn't forget that the top priority was how to find a way to catch up with the Northern Dynasty in terms of national strength. wants to catch up with the Northern Dynasty, although he can't use a routine that he is not good at. However, it does not mean that he cannot use the political system he is good at as a foundation to absorb and accept some new strategies of the Northern Dynasties.
Thinking like this, Zhao Gou waved his sleeves at the Manchu Dynasty and said: "All Aiqing, get up, I know that Huang Aiqing has no intention of rebellion, and he is an absolute loyal servant of our dynasty." It's just that the Northern Dynasty completely overthrew the ancestral system of our ancestors and ancestors in the Great Song Dynasty, and first did unfilial things before implementing the new law. ”
That's it. Zhao Gou's face softened a little, and he looked at Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan who stood up from the ground and said, "However, many new laws of the Northern Dynasty may really be borrowed for our dynasty." I set the tone here, my dynasty can change the law, but it can only be based on the foundation and ancestral system to borrow the new law of the Northern Dynasty to use the change. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Gou's face showed a smile again, and said to Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan: "I hope that Wang Aiqing and Huang Aiqing will take the ancestral system as the foundation, take advantage of the advantages of the new law of the Northern Dynasty for our dynasty, and make a change that can make my dynasty rich and strong, and catch up with the Northern Dynasty. ”
Based on the ancestral system and using the idea of the new law of the Northern Dynasty to change the law, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan were depressed in their hearts after hearing the meaning of Zhao Gou's words clearly.
What are they suffering about? The reason for the depression is simple and clear: many of the ideas of the new laws of the Northern Dynasty are actually contrary to and conflicting with the laws left by the ancestors of the Zhao and Song dynasties.
If the ancestral system is not abolished, most of the really useful ideas will not be used in the new law of the Southern Dynasty at all. The changes that are made under the condition that the ancestral system remains unchanged will also be a kind of nondescript, chaotic, and unreal law changes......
But whether it is Huang Qianshan or Wang Boyan, both of them are ministers, not capable ministers and loyal ministers. It doesn't matter what the result of the Fa change will be, the important thing is that Zhao Gou still trusts them.
And once the change is carried out under the leadership of the two of them, the two ministers know very well that it will be beneficial for the two of them to consolidate their position and stabilize their current position. So since the emperor wants to do this, they can only take over the heavy task of changing the law. (To be continued......)
