Reform is needed to strengthen the country, but the situation is huge. How can we not retreat?
As long as a few words are spread that Jia Heng has not yet entered the imperial examination, it will arouse the vigilance and hatred of the civil service group-the three parties in the court.
Throughout history, reforms will lead to bloodshed!
Just as Tan Sitong, one of the Six Gentlemen of 1898, said, "Reforms in various countries are all based on bloodshed...If there is such a thing, please start with the heirs."
Kang Youwei also said: "Reforms in various countries are all based on bloodshed. If there is such a thing... please start from the same heir."
Well, let’s do this...
Jia Heng had just mentioned reforms to strengthen his power. Except for Emperor Chongping, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace retreated. This is why.
Even just now, Emperor Chongping pretended that he had never heard of the reform, and rewarded Jia Heng with silk and silk on the pretext of writing a manuscript.
Of course, Emperor Chongping advocated frugality and rewarded him with twenty pieces of Su brocade, which was quite generous compared to usual times.
In fact, there is nothing new in history. When emperors like Emperor Chongping first asked Jia Heng about the demise of the Song and Ming Dynasties, they were deeply aware that today's Chen and Han have seen the shortcomings of the Song and Ming Dynasties everywhere. Only by reforming and strengthening can long-term peace and stability be achieved. Guo Zuo, but today's big man...
Emperor Chongping said warmly: "One of the four volumes of ancient books in the Hongwen Museum is a collection of memorials by the former Song Dynasty King Linchuan. You can read it slowly."
When Jia Heng heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but the common people still have an unkind request."
Emperor Chongping was surprised, smiled, and said, "What's the matter?"
Jia Heng said: "The common people are very interested in border affairs. Can I be allowed to consult the local chronicles, maps, troops, passes, and previous battles against the captives in Youyan of this dynasty, such as the Battle of Liaodong?"
Jia Heng wants to check these information, specifically for side affairs, this is
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, his heart moved slightly, and he stared at the young man opposite him. He remembered that from the previous investigation report sent by Dai Quan, Jia Heng had indeed learned the art of riding and shooting from a cavalry general in the capital camp.
To put it this way, Jia Hengcheng is a man of practical ability. Just now he mentioned bringing Huanghuang martial arts and reforming his methods to become stronger, and he has already practiced it personally.
They say they are invincible, but they are powerless in action. These are some scholars who can only talk but have high ambitions and low abilities.
However, Jia Heng saw the shortcomings of Chen's country and put it into practice before formulating a strategy. In the eyes of Emperor Chongping, Jia Heng became more and more sincere and down-to-earth.
Jia Heng said: "What the ordinary people said just now is that the difficulties in border affairs are only the first of the three troubles. The Holy One wants to bring peace to the world, and the ordinary people are willing to lose a little talent to help the border affairs."
He plans to write a policy——.
This policy requires a large amount of material support. Only once this policy is implemented can the political goal of hearing the emperor be fully established.
In fact, many people think that strategies should be discussed at length, or that the emperor and his ministers should make long speeches when they give speeches. But in reality, the emperor and his ministers should pay careful attention to every word and sentence, and talk less and think more.
Why?
Because firstly, if you talk too much, you will make more mistakes, and if you talk less, you will make fewer mistakes. Secondly, only when you are dealing with people who don’t understand anything, do you need to start with concepts and definitions.
Conversations at the same cognitive level are often concise and concise, and talking too much distracts attention from key issues.
Just now he was mentioning the three troubles of the Han Dynasty, each of which could be extended to many things, but there was no need, because Emperor Chongping knew better than him that this was a trouble that was close to his heart.
But this kind of thing cannot be seen unless the prime minister or the prime minister coordinates the overall situation. He can talk about the three dangers of the Han Dynasty, which is tacitly understood, and it is simple in the heart of the emperor.
Of course, mentioning the reform was also a test of Emperor Chongping.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Pu's writing only has a few hundred words, but every word is like a pearl, and the strategy he decided on is easy first and then difficult. To get the land of wealth and wealth in the Southern Tang Dynasty, maybe someone from later generations will say that, that's it? I can do it too.
However, Shizong Chai Rong deeply believed in this and regarded it as a national strategy. The Northern Song Dynasty fully implemented this strategy, but... the supreme Lianghe chariot god, the dark clouds did not return after all.
Wang Shao, who regained the land of Hehuang, wrote, like the Historical Records of the Song Dynasty, there were no long essays, but simple and to-the-point remarks.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, looked at the young man across from him, and said: "The maps, local chronicles, and detailed information about the enemy and captives are all in the Fang Division of the Ministry of War. Jinyang, please ask Xia Houying to assist Jia Heng in collecting pictures and texts."
When Jia Heng heard this, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Emperor Chongping also waved his hand, as if looking tired, and said: "Jinyang, send Jia Heng out of the palace."
After watching Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang leave, Emperor Chongping looked gloomy and sighed softly.
How easy is it to reform to become stronger?
Today's Han Dynasty has a fierce dispute between the three parties in the imperial court. Although he has bridged it with force, if he wants to reform and strengthen himself, and redefine the latitude and longitude, as Jia Heng said, the gentry and bureaucrats who benefit from it will inevitably revolt. If If ambitious people join forces again... the country is in danger!
After all, it is still military power, four kings and eight princes...
Emperor Chongping's eyes were uncertain, thinking in his mind, if Jia Heng was used to attack the nobility of Ning...
The more I think about it, the more wonderful it becomes. Jia Heng is a side branch of the Ning Kingdom. If he attacks the nobility, he will definitely not be accepted by the Jia family, he will not be accepted by the Wu Xun, and he will not be able to divide the power of the Rong and Ning Mansion in the army.
Dai Quan on the side said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen has sent someone to invite your Majesty to come to Kunning Palace for dinner."
Emperor Chongping recovered his thoughts, stood up, and said, "Recently, I have asked the internal guards to secretly protect Jia Heng to prevent him from being harmed secretly by traitors."
Jia Heng's question just now reminded him of a person - Jia Yi of the former Han Dynasty.
Both of them are named Jia, both are young and have unparalleled talents.
However, Jia Yi died young. Every time he read this period of history, he had doubts. Did Jia Yi really... die of depression?
Doesn't it have anything to do with it?
Jia Heng had just proposed reforms to strengthen his position, that is to say, he had to withdraw from the left and right sides. This shows that this son is serious and alert, and he is well aware of the pros and cons. However, there are still some things that must be guarded against.
…
…
Jia Heng left the palace and got on the carriage. It was already the right time, and the carriage drove into the night. He was still thinking about the conversation with the emperor.
Not only the gentry, but also the royal family, who had great honor and wealth, usurped the tax base and made no more concessions than the gentry.
For example, there are farms under the two houses of the Jia family. This is mentioned in Chapter 53 of the original work. Wu Jinxiao came to Jia's house to donate the farmland, and Jia Zhen said a few words that it was less than in previous years. .
The four kings and eight princes, the twelve princes, and the generals at the border...how many acres of land are there, drinking the blood of the soldiers and eating empty wages?
Invincible...
In the original work, Grandma Liu enters the Rongguo Mansion, and uses her perspective to express her feelings about the daily utensils, clothing and food of the Jia Mansion. The clues can be seen in itself. What is the concept of one pigeon egg and one tael of silver?
Is Rongguo Mansion the epitome of the entire Han Dynasty?
The four princes and eight princes of the Han Dynasty spend their daily lives extravagantly.
Therefore, the mourning theory that "tonight the water country sings, and last night the Zhulou dream" is not a far-fetched statement that can be refuted.
"But today's Chen Han, even if he wants to reform, it seems to be more difficult than before in the Song Dynasty, because today's bureaucracy seems to have not even seen a small number of knowledgeable people who have betrayed their own class attributes." Jia Heng thought in his mind Thinking.
All reforms were initiated by a group of knowledgeable people in the ruling elite circle who sensed the crisis of the dynasty and tried to reform to become stronger.
But it seems that he has not seen Chen Han now.
"Then we should learn from Yongzheng and only do things but not talk about them. But even Yongzheng was scolded by scholars. He even published books and tried to clear up the source, but the results became darker and darker." Jia Heng thought.
Chen Han had founded the country for a hundred years, and the country that had established the Ming Dynasty had a lot of shortcomings that only a powerful leader could do.
Emperor Chongping has seen the appearance of a powerful emperor, but if he serves such an emperor and is only good at planning for the country but poor at planning for his own life, even if the reform is successful, there is no guarantee that he will not lose everything.
He is not a strategist. He just wants to use what he has learned in his life and then retire with success.
"So, self-positioning cannot be that of a counselor."
The eldest princess of Jinyang on the side looked at Jia Heng who was concentrating with her eyes closed, her crystal jade face had a faint look on her face, and she felt a little emotional in her heart.
It is true that the cone is in the bag, and the end is beneficial.
Since then, this young man has fallen into the eyes of her royal brother.
Thinking of this, he joked and said: "Mr. Xiao Jia, the emperor has given you twenty pieces of brocade silk, so you can cut a few clothes."
