"Once power loses supervision, corruption will inevitably occur..."
Inside the Manna Hall.
Li Er murmured it twice, then suddenly sneered:
"Ha~~, you said it nicely, my officials and your newspaper can supervise them, but who will supervise your newspaper? If there is no one to supervise it, I believe it won't be long before your "Datang Daily" will Become a tool for the partisanship of the courtiers!"
Li Er had somewhat forgotten the original intention of calling Li Zexuan here today. He became very interested in Li Zexuan's remarks about power supervision, which was related to the long-term prosperity of the empire. Therefore, at this time, how could Li Er still have What about the "little things" that Kungfu cares about Cui Shanyou and others?
Li Zexuan had long been mentally prepared for Li Er's doubts. Before he came, he had already thought about letting Li Er's people enter the supervisory level of "Datang Daily". After all, in this era of supremacy of imperial power, if you let If the emperor thinks that you can threaten his rule, your life will be almost over.
Alas, I can only blame myself for not being reborn as an emperor and not being able to do whatever I want~~
"Your Majesty, I have some preliminary ideas about this. Can you see if it's feasible?"
"Oh~? Say it quickly!"
Li Er's eyes lit up and he said anxiously.
After realizing the powerful role of newspapers, Li Er did think about letting "Datang Daily" be used for him. However, "Datang Daily" was founded by Li Zexuan. Let him, a 95-year-old Supreme, grab the things of his ministers and tell them. It was too unpleasant, so he wanted to hear what Li Zexuan could do.
"What your Majesty just said is right. If there is no one to supervise it, corruption will breed within the "Datang Daily" before long, and it will even become a tool of party disputes among courtiers. So what I want to do is to ask your Majesty to send an absolutely impartial person. The third-party regulatory department is stationed in the editorial department of "Datang Daily". This regulatory department can review the content of the newspaper every day, but they only have the right to review and are not allowed to interfere with the daily operations of "Datang Daily". In this way, they and The original managers of "Datang Daily" can play a role in checking each other. In fact, this is somewhat similar to the role of supervisor in the army! I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
In ancient times, the supervisory troops were dispatched on a temporary basis to assist in military affairs and supervise generals on behalf of the imperial court. Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there have been envoys to supervise the army. It existed in the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the province was called Jianjun, also known as Jianjun. There are also military advisors and military commanders, who are also responsible for supervising the army.
Hearing this, Li Er pondered for a long time, and his eyes immediately shone with infinite light. He looked a little excited and said:
"Hmm~ This is a good idea! It's very feasible! But why are you so generous today? You actually gave away your own copy of "Datang Daily"?"
After Li Er became excited, he immediately regained his composure. He looked at Li Zexuan suspiciously.
"Well……"
Li Zexuan said angrily in his heart: Do you think I want it! Isn't this because it's you who is sitting on the dragon throne? If I were the emperor, how could I criticize you?
But Li Er's eyes also made him embarrassed. What did Lao Li mean by this? Damn it, I used to be like a tough cock!
"Ahem, Your Majesty, this... the purpose of the humble minister's creation of "Datang Daily" was to one day allow "Datang Daily" to play the role of third-party supervision, in order to allow the people of all parts of the Tang Dynasty to live a better life. Good day! From the beginning, I never thought about taking "Datang Daily" as my own. "Datang Daily" should be the newspaper for all the people of Datang! Besides, I just invited His Majesty to send someone to review "Datang Daily". The content of Tang Daily is reviewed and supervised, and the relationship between His Majesty’s people and the people in the editorial department of Datang Daily is only mutual restraint, not a subordinate relationship!”
At this point, Li Zexuan suddenly became solemn, looked directly at Li Er, and said every word, sonorously and forcefully:
"I dare to say something disrespectful. The future of "Datang Daily" belongs only to the people of Tang Dynasty. Even if His Majesty sends people to intervene in supervision, the nature of "Datang Daily" cannot be changed. If one day, "Datang Daily" will be Datang Daily has become a tool for the imperial court to dumb down the people, and I will definitely destroy it with my own hands! You are a boat; people are water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. I believe that His Majesty is far-sighted and has a broad mind. With your great wisdom, you can definitely understand this kid’s intentions!”
Li Zexuan's unscrupulous eyes and provocative words are disrespectful in every aspect. If he were to change to another emperor, 99% of the time he would be "clicked". Of course, if he were to change to another emperor, , Li Zexuan would definitely not say that, he still cherishes his life very much!
The reason why he dared to say this to Li Er was completely influenced by the history books: in the history books, among the emperors who could accept the advice of his ministers, Li Er was definitely "among the best". Lao Li was scolded so miserably by Wei Zheng, and he did not see him giving Wei Zheng a blow. If it "clicks", spray it occasionally, or "spray lightly", it must be fine.
Li Er frowned and cast his sharp, razor-like gaze on Li Zexuan's face. Of course there was anger in his heart. Any superior person would definitely be angry when he heard his subordinates talking to him like this, but those who had been "tempered" by Wei Zheng Li Er still controlled his emotions very well. When he heard Li Zexuan's last words, Li Er's face suddenly became startled. He tasted the words carefully several times in his heart and couldn't help but murmur. Voice:
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
"Okay! You are brave enough!"
Li Er stood up as he slapped the case, his expression constantly changing, from anger to excitement, and then from excitement to inexplicable complexity. He stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Li Zexuan and said:
"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it! You usually look like a carefree, greedy, fearful of death, and timid person, but now you can actually say such a great truth about serving the country, the people, and the common people! Not bad, not bad! I am very relieved!"
The allusion of "water can carry a boat, but also capsize it" was first seen in the "King System" written by the philosopher Xunzi during the Warring States Period: "The common people are in charge, and then the gentleman is in power. It is said: 'The king is a boat; the common people are, Water; water carries the boat, water overturns the boat."
In the third year of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng also quoted a similar point of view in "Zhenguan Political Important": "I also heard the ancient saying goes: 'The king is a boat; people (to avoid the taboo of Tang Li Shimin, using "people" instead of "people"), water is also . Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.'"
Therefore, at this time, what Li Zexuan said was quite impressive to Li Er.
Li Er's words sounded like he was praising him, but Li Zexuan almost vomited blood when he heard this. When did I become so "careful, greedy, afraid of death, and timid"?
"Uh-huh, Your Majesty, in fact, the boy has always been so great and upright, but you have misunderstood me!"
Li Zexuan vomited blood and said.
