The almost pathological worship of knowledge and books in this era is the greatest help that Suning relies on.
Suning did not believe that the book burners did not know the value of these books and the great impact and serious consequences that would occur once this matter was exposed, but they still burned thousands of books in the library at all costs, and it can only be said that the benefits they pursued were far greater than the disaster of extermination after the incident.
The laws of this period have never been exterminated or tortured such as Zhujiu and Ling Chi, and these tortures have never been officially recognized, but have been included in lynching for a long period of time, that is, the kind of criminal law that is invisible, such as the lover of Princess Gaoyang's cheating in history, the monk who was cheating on her, was killed by Tang Taizong with a lynching of beheading, and according to the law, it is not allowed to be beheaded at all, at most it is exiled or beheaded.
But even if not, lynching has also affected China's justice for a long time, until now, Confucianism pays attention to benevolence and righteousness, and it is not in the interests of Confucianism to put harsh punishment on the surface, so it is extremely cruel to say something like extermination, and the emperors are also worried that they will be said badly after their deaths, because at least the emperor's nickname is decided by the ministers through consultation.
But in this case, a fire destroyed the great crime of thousands of books, and the extermination of the clan is quite light, at this time, it is estimated that there will be a Zhu San clan and the nine clans or something, and it is estimated that the literati of the entire Tang Dynasty will not have any objections, according to their worship of cultural knowledge.
People like Li Chengqian can be angry to the extreme, let alone ordinary scholars and those people who can't afford to read? If only they had known the truth. A little guidance, supplemented by royal authority, the Shandong family will be hit hard even if it does not disappear, China's history has always been changed by the untouchables, and the decline and fall of the dynasties is also the main force of the untouchables, but it seems that once they join the army or become an official, they are very different from the people.
Suning will not let them disappear, absolutely not disappear, only pull them off the altar. Let them go to the bottom thoroughly. It is the beginning of the real popularization of culture, culture is sacred, but culture is not a god, there are always some people who want to worship culture as a god. Then master the culture yourself to achieve high positions. This kind of behavior. It is to be completely swept away in the garbage heap of history.
The cultural prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty was largely due to the vacuum of cultural authority caused by the collapse of the Shandong family, which made the culture really begin the process of popularization. The beginning of the popularization of culture is the beginning of the popularization of culture, and when everyone can learn cultural knowledge, it is the beginning of the real prosperity of culture.
Therefore, for this reason, those people cannot die, or they cannot die completely, they must live, they must live to experience a milestone cultural reform, and under their witness, Chinese culture can completely break away from the privileged class, and no longer be a tool for the privileged class to oppress the common people, but a knowledge for the benefit of the whole world.
Li Chengqian obviously couldn't understand Suning's true thoughts, because he was filled with thick anger......
The next day, Suning still stayed in the palace, and went to Li Tai in the morning, and Li Tai continued to travel in the world of science, in fact, Li Tai was there to talk about his understanding and discovery of science, Suning was drowsy there, and he was not interested in these things, and Suning would rather read history books than study physics and chemistry......
Hey?
Suning suddenly had an idea, it seems to be a little shameless, and the workload is not small, but if it is really possible, it seems to have a high effect on the improvement of his status, after all, during this period, he is young and does not have the capital to enter the house, but if this thing is done, this capital will also be available, and it can also win some good reputation at that time, and it will have a good effect on the future career.
There are still five years before the official crown ceremony, five years should be enough, I believe that if this book is completed, his status will definitely not be just a favored minister, a plaything similar to a child, but a famous minister through the ages with an independent personality and status.
That's how status comes about.
Anyway, the magic machine is in hand, this is not a problem, but you still have to understand some history, otherwise in the face of other people's doubts and questions, you will not be able to answer, the reason why this book was written for 20 years is because the study of history is a laborious and painstaking thing, not to mention the long time, the efficiency is extremely low, the completion of this book, must be slowed down, five years is the least, less than five years, that is absolutely not good.
In order to do this, it seems that he is going to start reading, even if he is doing it, he has to make it, otherwise, it is really difficult to deal with the mouth of the world, because of his previous situation, it is really a bit sharp, Li Er's companion reading position, not only did not let himself recuperate, but pushed himself to the forefront, saying that it is the experience of self-cultivation, in fact, it is still the rhythm of life, no matter what, but also hide for a period of time, write books and speak, and change their positioning.
Suning Zhidao is currently just a favored courtier in the eyes of many people, not to mention that they don't know the papermaking and printing technology of Ludao, in their eyes, they have no status, just rely on the emperor's favor and stand, do not have the qualifications to enter the house at all, although they also show military ability and strong character, but after all, they are not in the eyes of the mainstream crowd, many people feel that they are young but sharp, it must be a short-lived pattern.
Suning doesn't think so, his reputation is very high in the army and among the people, the people have accumulated to a certain extent because of the influence of military universities and high-yield crops, and in the army because of the military exploits and the establishment of military universities and have a high right to speak, but among the court and literati, although their poetry and calligraphy are quite excellent, countless people outside can't ask for it, but after all, it is not a great road.
As people agree, good poetry is a small way after all, and the way to govern the country and the state is to answer, writing a few poems and writing a few words is nothing, only by compiling academic books and discussing the ancient and modern can we obtain the status of orthodoxy in the literary world and be recognized by the literati. So that in order to plan for some things in the future, we have to take this step, and in the future, we must supplement it with merit, do less court things, and do more cultural things.
After cracking the rebellion case of Li Jiancheng's underground resistance group, Suning once vowed to stay away from the court and take the military route, but now Suning was stunned to find that he had no way to completely break away from the court and attach himself to the army. At least for now. Before the military university was full-fledged, the military strength did not have the real strength to compete with the political strength, and if it wanted to take an independent military line from politics, the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters, which separated the court from the military, was an urgent matter.
The separation of military and political affairs is a sign of the maturity and stability of a government. But for a long time, the Chinese government was unable to do so. It is not a civilian. It is to rule the government with soldiers, and the result is either exterminated by foreigners, or a military government established by warlords. The separation of military and political was a thing that could not be accomplished in ancient China, because the ancient elites could not think of a way to completely separate the military and politics.
The modern government has made this change, and finally separated the military from the political administration of the government, not only in the form of the national constitution, but also in the form of the military system and the political system, that is, the establishment of the military staff system, and the establishment of various staff headquarters, since then, the local and central administrative organs have no power to rule and command the army, and this power is subordinate to the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff Headquarters.
It is the task of the supreme head of state and the Ministry of National Defense to command the armed forces, and it is the general staff that formulates operational plans and gives correct command, and no matter what form of the general staff is established, this function is indispensable; generals and officers are responsible for leading the army and adapting to changes, and there is absolutely nothing to do with the administrative departments of the central government and local governments; the regular national army is the real national army, and some special units are not within this scope.
The Tang Dynasty needs a staff headquarters, the emergence of the staff headquarters, the formal establishment of the military Chinese officer system, every army needs a full-time officer commander, a deputy military Chinese officer as a staff officer, to participate in the march and war, only after accumulating a certain amount of merit and prestige, officers can be promoted, and military Chinese officers can be promoted to the staff headquarters to be responsible for the planning of the campaign and the formulation of tactics, this is not absolutely authoritative, the generals and staff officers in the army can change according to the actual situation, but they must be responsible for it.
In the same way, if the battle is planned according to the plan formulated by the General Staff Headquarters, the General Staff Headquarters will be responsible, in short, the General Staff Headquarters has the power to command the army, and the generals and staff officers in the army have the power to command the army in battle, and the power of the military department and the general is almost the same, the power of the two is combined into one, and the army is dispatched, otherwise, neither side has the right to command the army, and the emperor, as the supreme commander, has two powers at the same time, but as the so-called generals are not subject to the orders of the monarch outside, it is better for the emperor not to interfere with this.
For this reason, the power of the chief of staff and the commander-in-chief of the army is very important; of course, the commander-in-chief of the army goes without saying, and the candidates for the general staff headquarters must also be selected by the generals and staff officers in the army.
The future task of the military department should be to provide logistical support and the assessment and registration of the promotion of officers and staff officers, etc., and no longer have the power to command the army and command the army, and the staff headquarters is a special department independent of the imperial court and the army, separating the imperial court and the military, and compulsorily playing the role of a separation of military and government.
During the period when there was nothing to do, Suning set several tasks for himself, write a book, and plan the detailed rules of the staff headquarters, and after the end, a few books were handed in, and let Li Er's Majesty go down to engrave it, and then it became popular all over the world, and laid his own name, and then handed in the regulations of the staff headquarters, so that Li Er's Majesty could consider it himself.
But this case is a big problem, if this case is not solved, the establishment of the staff headquarters is really in danger, Suning has almost determined that the Shandong family must have participated in this incident, last time his own letter seems to have no effect, it seems that if they do not take advantage of this incident to hit their power and reputation, it is really difficult to implement this plan.
The following few steps of the strategy without this strike as an auxiliary is obviously not feasible, with this strike, in order to make them honestly hand over part of the power, to promote the establishment of the staff headquarters, this is a complete expulsion of Shandong family officials from the military command core strategy, from then on, Shandong family officials want to get involved in the military command power again, it is not generally difficult.
Completely grasp the military power, and even cut off their opportunity to hold military power, and even isolate it from the generals and the court, this is a pioneering act, and it is the first step of the Tang Dynasty to eternal existence, this first step is very difficult, compared to the previous foreshadowing, this time, it is already the last step of the first step.
