Chapter 2O1 The Smart Man and the Strong Man
"The second smart person in this matter is Wei Jingshen."
Li Yixun said that the first smart person, Shen Qingyi, followed up with Wei Chongrun.
"Wei Jingshen didn't need to do anything, he only went to the debate room once, and exchanged knowledge with Mo Taiping, and the rest of the matter, naturally there was Mo to promote him."
That day happened to be the day when Wei Chongrun went to the debate room, but it didn't matter, even if it was, Wei Chongrun had a way to convey the meaning to Mo Ping.
Later, Xiao Yan thought back and felt that Wei Xianggong was really a master, so he went to Tutu for a walk, and then went back to the political hall to quarrel with the prime minister, and ordered the Imperial Medical Department to make a budget, and continued to quarrel with the prime minister, rolled up his sleeves and set up a pot on it, Mo Ping silently added firewood below, plus a group of auxiliary fan fire party, huh, huh, huh...... I'm a big star.
"This is the Yang Mou, the Yang Mou of the Above and Fair. Wei Jingshen didn't do anything, but he did everything. Others knew what he had done, but it was useless to know, one did not break the law, the second did not violate the law, and the third did not violate the official precepts, so he could only stare dryly and scold a few words about Wei Lao's traitor Tian Shehan. I heard that Zhang Tanfu was angry in the political affairs hall and scolded Wei Jingshen Tian Shehan, Wei Jingshen said that I was born in a peasant family, I have suffered from hunger and hunger, and I am most afraid of getting sick, this disease is a disease of wealth and nobility, and the poor cannot afford to live, like Zhang Xiang, I must not be afraid, and I am not afraid of seventeen or eighteen diseases. ”
Xiao Yan laughed.
Wei Xianggong is a smart person and a wonderful person!
What Xiao Yan admires even more is that he is never ashamed of his background, but extremely calm, because I have been poor and suffered, so I have to fight for the interests of the poor. Xiao Yan felt that Anping's mother's vision was really good.
"The third smart person is the Taiyi Ling, the head of the family of the Emperor Fu of Anding, Huangfu Ancun, the word Kangyong. Baoshu should know, Shen Zhiyuan's biological mother, her maiden family is a branch of the Anding Huangfu clan, of course, the relationship is far away, but you can't write two Huangfu in one stroke, if the Anding Huangfu clan proposes that Wuxing Huangfu return to the sect, do you think they will be happy? ”
Should be...... Gladly.
Xiao Yan thought to himself.
Wuxing Huangfu is very famous in Huzhou, and it is the leading local apricot forest family, but compared with the first apricot forest family of the famous Tang Empire, Anding Huangfu, it is far worse, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pearl of rice grains. This is not like the Qinghe Cui clan and the Boling Cui clan, although the two families were the same ancestor in the Western Han Dynasty, but they have already separated the county Wangtang, and the Eastern Han Dynasty has already been the same Shandong Wang clan, from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, it has always been the same first-class surname, who wants to live under the other sect? There is no such thing as zài returning to the sect, it is completely two clans, and because the same surname is not married, the two families have no marriage relationship, compared to other families, they fight more fiercely, and there is no possibility of cooperation. It is also said that the Li family of Zhaojun and the Li family of Longxi, talking about the same ancestor, have to be pulled before Lao Tzu Li Er, it is impossible to return to the ancestor of Zhaojun Li Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li has been above Longxi Li before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the glory has been five or six hundred years, even if Longxi Li is now a royal family, Zhaojun Li is never willing to be attached to it, to be a vassal of the royal family, where is the pride and scenery of an independent family?
But Wuxing Huangfu is different, it is not a star and a half different from Anding Huangfu, if it returns to its own sect, the development of the family will not stop in Huzhou. However, it also depends on the idea of the Huangfu family, if there is no ambition, it is more comfortable to be independent.
Xiao Yan thought again, maybe this doesn't entirely depend on the Huangfu family's own thoughts, Huzhou might write to her sister and ask her opinion, after all, the imperial doctor's order was directed at the sister before handing out the laurel branch.
"Saying that Huangfu Kangyong is a smart person, handing out the laurel branch to Wu Xing Huangfu is only one aspect - whether Wu Xing's side is willing to return to the sect or not, his intention to show favor to Shen Zhiyuan has been achieved. The smartest thing this smart man did was to go to Mo Taiping's house for the first time.
Wei Jingshen saw Mo Taiping, and someone had to hand the manuscript to Mo Taiping. Wei Jingshen will not do this, he is the prime minister and has to be cautious, and he can't privately hand over the chapter of the imperial court to outsiders, even if Mo Taiping is tight-lipped, Wei Jingshen will not leave this handle to others. If it weren't for Huangfu Kangyong going to the Mo family, there would be people rushing to do this for the prime minister, and there are many officials in the cold door in Beijing, and there are many people who can figure out the prime minister's thoughts and have the courage to seize this opportunity.
"For the sake of the interests of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Kangyong must promote the implementation of this bill, and he has a position with Wei Jingshen early on. Since it is destined to offend those prime ministers of the family, it is better to actively stand up from the beginning, and be valued by Wei and Shao, and they will help in the future. Looking further, he did this to show his loyalty to Zhaohua, even if this bill did not pass guò, he was planning for the long term, after Zhaohua took power, wouldn't he reintroduce this bill? At that time, they will be more reused by the Huangfu family. ”
Xiao Yan said in his heart, it is really not simple.
"The fourth smart man is Mo Taiping. This matter was known to the entire people of Kyoto so quickly, and the content was spread in such detail, who would believe that no one was secretly pushing it? Of course, Mo Taiping is not the only person in Kyoto who has the ability to do this kind of thing, but the first thing that several prime ministers in the political hall suspect is him, who let Wei Jingshen go to see him? But who can catch the handle of the Ink Society? Ink talkers privately print and post divergent tabloids? What about the evidence? Can Datang not allow the crime of chasing wind and shadows, or the power of the imperial history to report on a civilian? ”
Xiao Yan smiled when he saw this, and he was a miracle doctor in the world.
That's right, the famous big man in the empire, the famous head of the Mojia Wenzong, known as the Mo Taiping, he is a commoner, and the official household registration file is registered as a "craftsman household". Of course, everyone knows that this Moji leader is by no means an ordinary craftsman, but the problem is, he is a royal history with no official status, no scholarly status, and pickets hundreds of officials to impeach a craftsman? Don't be funny! The Imperial Historical Observatory never wanted to have this black history, and it was turned out and ridiculed by the Senate.
A few days later, Li Yixun received another letter.
"After yesterday's dismissal, Taixue and Guozijian several doctors with deep knowledge of scriptures tasted tea and discussed scriptures at the home of Gaomi County Gongkong, including Ye Hong Ye Shiguang, who is also a bachelor of Hanlin Yuan, this Ye scholar is known as the first in today's Moxue scriptures, and Gaomi Guogong, but also Taixue, Guozijian Doctor of scriptures. In the discussion, the current hot topic was discussed, Ye Bachelor said that it would benefit the people and the country, and said that he talked about it with Mo Taiping the day before yesterday, and he said that if this matter is true, the imperial court will establish health care stations in urban and rural areas, and the Love Society is willing to donate one million taels of silver every year to support this public welfare cause. Oh, the other two colleagues who participated in the tea tasting and discussion of the scriptures, one is Min Yongshao Min Yonghe, who is also a doctor of Taoism and scriptures, known as 'the one who speaks is not false, and the one who is empty is not spoken'; ——Look at the occasion and this person chosen by Master Ye, he is also a smart person. ”
Xiao Yan nodded approvingly.
She is no stranger to Gaomi County, and she has memorized it on the genealogy of scholars.
Kong Shangxian, the prince of Gaomi County, is the head of the Kong family of Lu County in this generation. The Confucian family of Lujun is also a family surnamed A in the Tang Dynasty, but it is included in the surname A based on the inheritance of Confucius Confucianism from generation to generation, so other families can speak of profit, but Confucius cannot, it must be based on benevolence as the core, talk about benevolence and benevolence, and public benefit medical care is the country's benevolence to the people, how can the head of the Kong family say that he does not support it? Of course, it is to be in favor, as for whether the national finances can support it, that is a matter for the prime minister to consider, Master Kong's current main position is to advise the doctor, only responsible for advising the emperor and political affairs, and I can be very willful to say that I only care about benevolence and not finance.
The other two, Min Sai Wine, Dr. Geng, Xiao Yan is not familiar, but can drink tea and discuss the scriptures with Master Kong and Master Ye, as the so-called things gather in kind, people in groups, presumably not only the scriptures are deep and mellow, but also the character is commendable, Ah Niang said that one is "the one who speaks is not false, and the one who is empty is not spoken", and the other is "straightforward, not spitting and unhappy", the promise of the head of the Mo family conveyed by Master Ye does not have to worry about these two people not to pass it on, and with the ethics of these two people who do not lie and do not conceal, listeners will believe it.
No one will suspect that Ye Hong is lying, or Mo Ping is lying, that is impossible.
No one will doubt that Moping can't do it.
Although everyone is simple, the community composed of ink is not poor, and the Love Society can be said to be one of the richest societies in Datang. The Mojia opened the Moxing Society, the Mozhu Society, the Moweaving Society, the Moshi Society, and the Mojitang are all big businesses that spread throughout the north and south, and the meaning of these Mojia firms is to benefit the people and facilitate the people, in addition to the practice of technology, to benefit the people and facilitate the people, is to do financial support for the performance of the Jianai Society, and it is said that fifty percent of the annual profits will be handed over to the Jiaai Society. Donating one million taels of silver every year, this is nothing to the Kanai Society, but Mo Ping is talking about "every year", which is a lot of self-confidence and courage, and the family also has this kind of courage, but this courage is used in profitable investments, and it is by no means throwing money into the water - to do public interest for the family is to throw money into the water, except for smashing a few water noises and winning fame, there is no profit.
And once Mo Ping's promise was widely spread, the political affairs hall was set on the fire and roasted.
Mo Ping said that he would donate one million taels of silver to Gongli Medical Care every year, and the prime minister of the political hall could still say that the state finances could not bear it? With this million yuan, even if the imperial court doesn't pay a penny, it is enough to choose a few places for piloting, not to mention that the imperial court will not be able to squeeze out millions of taels of silver every year, right?
Xiao Yan read his mother's letter and said, "According to the detailed budget made by the Tai Hospital, if the imperial court invests five million yuan or silver every year, it is feasible to support the establishment of a public health center in each state, and the establishment of the following health care stations can be jointly borne by the central and local governments." This thing is not achieved overnight, it can be done at the state level, then at the county level, and then at the township level; Or conversely, first in the countryside, then in the city, step by step, there will always be a time for full implementation. The key is to see whether the state is willing to spend its money on it. ”
Li Yihun said: "For the prime minister who opposes this bill, Mo Taiping's promise is a bad thing, which increases the people's expectations for the implementation of the bill, and at the same time ignites the anger of the people in the movie world." ”
The content of the latter part of her mother's letter triggered Xiao Yan's deep thinking.
"Poverty is a disease, and the most terrible disease in the world," she said, "and it destroys morality, ethics, order; People who are trapped in illness, when there is a glimmer of hope, will reach out and grab it regardless of a qiē, and whoever dares to thwart them, the spark of anger will ignite, and eventually become a prairie fire.
"Baoshu, we are born with fine clothes and food, we can't understand what poverty is, the despair of hunger and cold, poverty and illness, and no money to buy medicine mentioned in the book, we can understand sympathy from words, but after all, it is only words, and it is impossible to really empathize. It is very difficult for emperors and prime ministers from the world to truly appreciate the suffering of the common people. In the event of floods, droughts, locust plagues, the imperial court will seriously provide relief, hoping that fewer people will die, and there will be no displaced people, which will become a hidden danger of unrest for the dynasty; But when there are no such disasters, the emperor and the prime minister will not think about how to make the people rich, they will think about reducing the oppression of the people, so that the people can still afford to eat, and then they will be in peace and security, and do not think about rebellion.
In the "History of the Dead Dynasty" written by Emperor Taizong, the reasons for the fall of the dynasty are mentioned: first, the emperor is cruel and unreasonable, such as the Xia and Shang dynasties; the second is the rapid expropriation and heavy labor, and the people are unbearable, such as the death of Qin; The third is that the princes are divided into countries and the great powers stand side by side, and the central government is unable to control it, and it will die if it is invaded by foreign tribes, such as the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty; Fourth, the rule of officials is corrupt, the country is declining day after day, and finally the body is seriously affected, and the people are in turmoil, such as the death of the two Han Dynasty. Taizong said that if the dynasty wants to rule for a long time, it must not commit the above four articles. Therefore, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to not leviing taxes and miscellaneous taxes, not levying conscription indiscriminately, attaching importance to the restraint of military generals in border towns, attaching importance to the rectification of officials, and attaching importance to the balance of power in the family. The people below are weaker, more stupid, and obedient to the people, so that they can rule better.
But these are the patterns of dynastic rule. Which dynasty was not in the early days of the government and the people, and the people lived in peace? But later, at most, it will only be two or three hundred years of rule - Xia Shang is not counted, the country is small and the people are few, just like one Tao of the Tang Dynasty, at most two Dao, what is the pride of ruling for four or five hundred years? The Zhou Dynasty does not need to be mentioned, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the dynasty has long ceased to exist. Now some Confucian scholars advocate the 'rule of the last three generations', which is really ridiculous. This is not far away, if according to this ruling model, the Tang Dynasty will only be two or three hundred years, or three or four hundred years, and the land annexation alone will enter a situation of popular revolt. And the Li family was either overthrown by the people's rebellion, or replaced by another family, so they entered a new dynasty, and then the same reincarnation.
"The real change was during the Gojong era. If there was no Gaozong, the Tang Dynasty would have gone through such a reincarnation. Since Gaozong, the national style of the Tang Dynasty has changed, to be precise, the fundamental thinking of the country has changed. Gaozong said: The Tang Dynasty wants to be an empire, not a dynasty, the dynasty is narrow, it is a dynasty of one family, the empire is vast, it is the country of the monarch and all subjects, the monarch has the responsibility of the monarch, the subject has the responsibility of the minister, the people have the responsibility of the people, each has its own responsibility, and the empire protects its interests, the empire will become a big ship that everyone works together, and it will never capsize.
Gaozong said: The Tang Empire must be strong, not only the country and monarch strong, but also the ministers and the people. Only when the people are strong can the ministers above be forced to be strong. The people and the ministers are strong, but the monarch at the top is not strong. Gaozong said, don't expect the monarch's self-cultivation and wisdom, either a 'saint' is a saint, only pressure can force people to be strong, sitting on this throne is the supreme power, but also the supreme responsibility, the most difficult burden. If you can't bear this pressure, such a weak person is not qualified to be the monarch of the Tang Dynasty. Gaozong said: Back then, Emperor Taizong could choose my mother to be the monarch, and give up his bloodline, for the Tang Empire to be inherited by the strong, I can do the same; My descendants must be able to do the same.
"Gaozong is not talking empty words - she never says empty words, she has to do what she says - in order to make the emperors who succeed to the future generations have pressure and have to become strong, Gaozong formulated the three national policies of 'strengthening the people, educating the people, and enriching the people', engraved a monument in the Taimiao, and formulated the "Imperial Constitution", put these three policies into the "Imperial Constitution", and at the same time set higher standards and more ambitious goals for the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, she said that this is the constitution of the Tang Emperor, and if the descendants of the later emperors can surpass her merits, they can overthrow it or rewrite it, However, before overturning or revising, it must be complied with, otherwise it will be a violation of the imperial constitution, and the Constitutional Supervisory Committee composed of the elders of Zongzheng Temple and the general of Tiance can abolish the monarchy in accordance with the constitution. ”
Xiao Yan wrote these things written by his mother in the history books, but he didn't remember them in such detail in "Gaozong's Records". She read history books relatively late, at the age of nine began to read the "General History of China", her mother said that she knew about history, said that when she was older, she had the ability to discriminate and think and then read history books, so that she would not be led away by history books, and when she was eleven years old, she entered Heng'an Academy, and her mother allowed her to follow her fourth brother to learn to read history, she liked Gaozong when she studied "General History of the Empire", and then read the emperor's record, and her favorite thing to read was "Gaozong's Record", and the record of formulating "Emperor Constitution" was one of the reasons why she liked Gaozong.
She remembered that after returning to Qingning Hospital, she once told her mother about her feelings about reading this history book, what was her mother's expression at that time? Xiao Yan remembered that her mother was smiling slightly, and her eyes, which had always been calm and indifferent, glowed with a soft glow like starlight, "Oh-" Mother let out a long oh at that time, and said in a distant voice:
Here's what she said: A truly powerful empire must have loyal and powerful subjects, and a truly powerful and wise monarch must have powerful and wise subjects who use infinity as a single machine. A monarch who is afraid that his subjects are too strong, that is the weak. It is a foolish monarch to expect that all the people under his rule are stupid obedient monarchs, monarchs who find it easier to rule, and who can rule more long. How did the Xia Dynasty die? Overthrown by a small group of tigers and wolves leading a large group of slaves. What did the Qin Dynasty die from? A group of forcibly conscripted civilian soldiers rebelled first. What did the Eastern Han Dynasty die from? A group of peasants wrapped in yellow cloth rebelled. Are these fools? How much wisdom can there be? I don't want my descendants to be cowards who just want to rule a group of weak chickens, or fools who want to rule a group of fools, it's a shame on me, and I will definitely send a thunder in the spirit of heaven to kill them. In order not to kill them, I decided to make an "Imperial Constitution" to save their lives. ”
Mother laughed when she said this, and it was a very pleasant, joyful laugh.
Xiao Yan also rolled on the couch with a smile, thinking that her mother's interpretation of the history books was too funny.
But now that I think about it, I feel that this was really what Emperor Gaozong said to his mother at that time, not the concise and literary style of Secretary Shi, but plain and vivid. And the mother's laughter is not because of the words themselves, but more likely to remember the look of Gaozong when he spoke, which is domineering? Squinting and sneering? Or is it highly calculated? …… Xiao Yan couldn't think of it, but it must be what her mother liked.
Xiao Yan rarely saw her mother smile like that, and now she thinks about it carefully, the few rare times are related to the deeds of Emperor Gaozong when she came back after reading history, and her mother always started with the tone of "Oh - that's what she said", there are some witty words that make Xiao Yan laugh badly, and there are some plain but profound words that make Xiao Yan feel moved.
Mother said, "That's what she said" - "The real strong rule over the strong and the wise, so the strong are getting stronger and stronger." Under the rule of the strong, rule the weak and the foolish, the strong will become weaker, and the descendants will become weaker and weaker. The weak eat the strong, survival of the fittest, this is the way of heaven, the natural world is contested by birds and beasts, people are the same, the empire is the same, if you don't fight, you are not strong, you don't always move forward, so that the stronger you are, or three hundred years, at most four hundred years, the Tang Dynasty will be weakened to the point of extinction, and will be replaced by the new strong. If the Tang Dynasty wants to be a thousand-year-old empire, every monarch must be truly powerful. ”
The word "really" will not appear in the history books, but Xiao Yan often hears the word "really" in his mother's words, Xiao Yan now knows that Emperor Gaozong really likes to use these two words to emphasize and distinguish, the real strength is not the strength on the surface, nor is it the strength, strength or any aspect of the strength, Gaozong refers to the heart, is the soul, only people with a strong heart can have the same vast sea, the same thickness of the earth, and the same fearlessness as the sky. Xiao Yan has deep respect for this, and the same is true of martial arts cultivation, without a strong heart, he can't go further.
When Gaozong set the national policy of "enriching the people", he said: Poverty is a disease, and it is the most terrible disease in the world, which can make morality, ethics, etiquette and righteousness, people and animals no different, and can also make the lowest and most cowardly people rise up to resist, and the people who are struggling for their lives can burn into a prairie flame and burn a qiē.
Those civilians who were suffering from illness and were afraid of being sick and had no money for treatment are now, as my mother said in her letter, "when there is a glimmer of hope, they will reach out and grasp it regardless of a single qiē, and whoever dares to stop them, the spark of anger will ignite", and the prime minister who opposed the bill really roasted on the fire and caused public anger.
This kind of public opinion cannot but be feared by the prime minister of the family.
What's more, in the family, not every family is so rich that they don't need public benefit medical care. If the head of the family opposes this bill, he will surely lose some hearts and minds among his clan.
Xiao Yan thought to herself, the fifth smart person that A-Niang wanted to say in the next letter must be a saint.
The sage will not oppose this bill, because strengthening the people and enriching the people is the national policy implemented by the emperors of previous dynasties, and the public benefit and medical care are also within the strong people and enriching the people, compared to the prime ministers of the family, who often start from the interests of the class, the emperor attaches more importance to the general interests of the whole country, if this system of benefiting the country and the people will not shake the national finances, the sage will find a way to promote its implementation - of course, there is no need for His Majesty to take action himself.
But what Xiao Yan didn't expect was that the fifth smart person mentioned in A-Niang's letter was actually her father.
