Section 489 Immigration (2)
Feeling the gaze of the ministers, Liu Che stood up.
After pacing two steps forward and making the following appearance, Liu Che said: "What Tao Hou said, I think it is very good, and the following Hou Xunchen will discuss it with more than 2,000 stones!" ”
There is an unspoken rule in the Han Dynasty: no matter how urgent the emperor wants to implement a certain policy, he must pretend to let the officials of the princes and lords of more than 2,000 stone discuss, discuss, come up with the answer he wants, and then follow the trend.
Sometimes, in the face of a nationwide adjustment, it is necessary to listen to the opinions and recommendations of the county guards, county lieutenants, the late nine kings of the Zhishi, the ministers of the three dukes, and the princes and kings of the world.
It looks a bit like an aristocratic folk cook or a republic.
But in fact, not only Liu Che is clear, but most of the princes and lords in the world also know it.
This was merely a means used by the emperor to demonstrate that his policy was the most widely supported and popular favor.
Moreover, this tradition is actually very fragile.
The emperor is in a hurry, and it is not for nothing that he puts aside this tradition and goes it alone.
For example, the first emperor's policy of cutting the feudal domain, there was a huge opposition from the government and the opposition, and even Shen Tujia openly stood up against the overly radical cutting of the feudal domain.
However, it is not an egg.
But the vitality of this tradition is very tenacious.
No matter how the rulers trample on it, how they destroy it, how they ignore it.
When one day this ruler or his heirs, in order to clean up people's hearts and unite the government and the opposition, will always take the initiative to pick it up.
In the middle of the reign of the piglet, he was basically a dictator.
No one, anything, or will can change his mind, and this tradition is trampled underfoot. Trample into the mud!
But so what?
In the old age of the little pig, the little pig passed a paper of guilt. I picked it up on my own initiative.
During the Zhaoxuan period, not to mention.
The local gentry and powerful landlords were even able to directly participate, discuss and revise state policy. And even influence ideology!
Several salt and iron conferences and Shiqu Pavilion debates were born in this context.
Therefore, in a sense, the emperor is the god, and the Western Han regime with unlimited monarchical power is the most popular (on the surface) in China's 2,000-year feudal history.
A cloth-clothed landlord can spray wildly at the ruling Dasi Nong.
There are a few poor scholars in the local area. Dare to jump out and criticize the ideology and core values of the country, and succeed!
Such a situation, even if it is the two Song Dynasty who boast of sharing the world with the scholars, has never happened!
Liu Che had already used the monarch's power to trample on this tradition in order to quickly get through guò and form a superficial consensus between the government and the opposition on the salt and iron policy.
If you play like this again, it will be too ugly.
So. In any case, Liu Che has to show the world the following: I am not a single husband, and I am not a single person who dominates the world!
This is also the reason why Liu Che arranged the discussion of immigration policy after the salt and iron policy.
It's just a simple psychological measure.
Now it seems that this strategy is not bad. At the very least, the immigration policy has successfully skipped the stage of ripping and talking, and has entered the stage of actual operation.
If you want to mention immigration policy first. Let's not talk about the salt and iron official camp later, these guys have the illusion of 'people's cooking' because of their immigration policy. and recklessly challenged the monarchy. The time for talking and talking is enough to consume the remaining time of today's court meeting.
"Ministers are edicted!" The ministers bowed their bows.
Mankind has always been full of interest in being able to participate in and discuss national affairs, regardless of era, dynasty, ethnicity, or race.
Otherwise, the Keyboard Political Bureau and the Organization Department of the Neighborhood Committee would not have been so prosperous and powerful.
But alas, it is in the hands of a small group of people at the top of the pyramid where power is always concentrated.
This is also regardless of era, dynasty, nation, race or even ideology!
The only difference between the world of later generations and the world of the pre-century world in this regard may be that the space at the top of the pyramid is larger, and there are more bigwigs, while the people at the bottom are addicted to propaganda or indoctrinated things and think that they are 'the masters of the country'.
But......
Is it possible?
Liu Che chuckled lightly and said softly in his heart: "I'm afraid that even in the interstellar era, it is still the small group of people who go to the galaxy and master the country and formulate policies, but the methods may be more advanced and more hidden, so that most people are more convinced that they are the masters of the country and the regime...... That's it......"
Thinking like this, Liu Che said: "Today's court meeting, let's stop here, Zhu Qing go back and discuss what Tao Hou said, and the next court meeting, come up with a specific and feasible plan, brainstorm, I will personally read Zhu Qing's strategy, choose those who are worried and do it!" ”
Although, in fact, there are specific rough plans and plans, but the people's cooking, or what China calls in this era, the system of wide open speech, since it has been made, it must be done to the end!
What's more, the courtiers are all elites, many of them have practical work experience, and even many of them have participated in the granting of land and immigration work under Zhang Cang, with their opinions and supplements, there is only benefit to the immigrants and no harm.
The ministers then bowed their heads three times, bid farewell to the Son of Heaven, and waited for Liu Che to leave, they slowly got up, and according to the etiquette, they approached the Xuanshu Palace.
Then they all walked in the direction of the East Palace.
Most of the courtiers went to the East Palace, just to fulfill their obligations and greet the two queen mothers.
But the Dou family's relatives and some people with their own little abacus couldn't wait to report the content of today's court meeting to the two queen mothers, especially the current queen mother of the East Palace.
Liu Che stood on the palace wall of the Xuanshu Palace, looking at the ministers who were riding the gorgeous carriage along the road in the palace and under the escort of the guards.
To say that you have no opinion in your heart is a liar!
No king can tolerate his authority being shared, or even usurped.
Otherwise, the kings of later generations would not have made a rule that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and the little pig would not do anything to kill his mother and save his son.
It's just that Liu Che also knows that the two-palace system is an iron law that cannot be changed in the Han Dynasty.
As long as the Han regime still adheres to the basic principle of ruling the world with filial piety, the authority of the East Palace will not be reduced in the slightest.
This fact made Liu Che clearly realize one thing: it is very important to cultivate heirs, but it is even more important to educate harem concubines!
The concubines shouldn't just stay in the palace and be cute and coquettish.
They should learn and master more knowledge, and have the vision and means.
And establish a system for concubines to learn and master knowledge.
Only in this way can we ensure the stability of the Han family!
As the emperor, Liu Che knows one thing very well, that is: if after Liu Bang's death, the person in power was not Empress Lu but Mrs. Qi in the tragedy, then the current Han family may have been torn apart long ago, with wolf smoke everywhere, princes divided, and endless battles!
At that time, the Qin State was able to always remain strong and stable, which was also related to the fact that several monarchs in his history ascended the throne at a young age, and the empress dowager in power had first-class means and vision.
Among them, the Empress Dowager Xuan is even more powerful to turn the tide. (To be continued......)
