Ji Zhao's eyes were fixed on this. He had always been interested in the changes of these famous historical figures. It was like a large-scale experiment. How much impact can these external factors of origin, environment, and culture have on people? ?
Especially Jia Yi, his sentence "Why? If benevolence and righteousness are not applied, the offensive and defensive momentum will be different!"
It was simply mind-blowing and profoundly affected Ji Zhao.
In the Dong'ahou Mansion, the retainers took Luo Chen and Jia Yi to visit Luo Xin.
In the quiet room, Jia Yi followed Luo Chen and saw that the room was also very simple, but he no longer dared to guess the value of the items inside.
There was a slightly older man sitting in the room. He had a few weather-beaten wrinkles on his face and his temples were all white. He stared at Jia Yi with sharp eyes. He was meticulous and neat, dressed in black. The robe is very majestic.
Jia Yi knew in his heart that this must be the most powerful Prime Minister Luo Xin in the world, who was filial to the emperor's legacy, betrayed the emperor, and acted on his behalf.
"Please see the Prime Minister for your friendship."
Jia Yi bowed and saluted. Luo Xin put down the bamboo slip in his hand, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you Jia Yi? Marquis Shouguang said that you have the talent of a king's assistant. Do you have any memorials to submit when you see me today?"
Jia Yi was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that Shouguang Hou would have such a high opinion of himself. Wang Zuozhi was basically equivalent to the candidate for the three princes. However, he was worried that he would not be able to pass the test of the prime minister for the time being. If he fell into a bad position, My impression is that the Prime Minister has stopped thinking about his grand plans in the past few years since he has been in power.
Jia Yi took out two volumes of bamboo slips from his sleeves. Luo Xin took one volume and placed the other volume on the table. He slowly unfolded it, and a few big words jumped directly into his eyes, ""Please build a book about the princes"?"
Luo Xin just saw the name and didn't even need to read the content. He knew what it was talking about.
After all, he is the prime minister who has held power for decades. He knows better than anyone what shortcomings this huge dynasty has.
Reading from the beginning, after just a few sentences, Luo Xin couldn't help but glance at Jia Yi in front of him.
Regardless of the level of this political commentary, the literary level of this article is extremely high. It even makes Luo Xin feel like he has read the articles of Zhuangzi and Mencius in the past.
Regardless of the level of the various schools of thought, even if the articles of Zhuangzi and Mencius do not agree with the truth, they still read with great wantonness and grandeur.
The same words are born with aura in the hands of these two people. This is the terrible thing about talented people.
Today's Jia Yi is the same kind of person. He writes articles with a sense of passion, saying that he is extremely rational. People like Jia Yi will definitely be appreciated by dignitaries. What hinders him will always be other aspects, such as The general trend and so on.
"You are truly worthy of being a descendant of the Meng family. Your articles have the style of Meng Sheng in the past."
A rather proud look appeared on Jia Yi's face. When he was studying in the school, he was praised by his teacher as having the style of an ancestor because of his writings. Now the regent prime minister also praised him so much. How could this not make Jia Yi not proud? ?
In this era, the ancestors, fathers and teachers are either cursed or highly praised. Considering Mencius' status in Confucianism, this is really a high recognition of Jia Yi.
"Build the feudal lords with less power!"
Luo Xin read slowly, without any expression on his face, not even a trace of fluctuation in his eyes.
Jia Yi felt a chill in his heart when he saw it, which was different from what he imagined.
When he came to see Luo Xin, he knew that the Prime Minister must know about what he had written today, and he might even have the same idea.
But it is precisely because of this that he shows his ability even more.
He believed that the Prime Minister must want to weaken the princes and kings, but why didn't he even have the slightest appreciation now?
Just now the Prime Minister clearly praised his writing, but now he has no comments on his political comments.
This is really terrible!
His wish is not to be a literate person. He has learned a lot about managing the world and applying it in order to realize his ambition.
Luo Xin finally looked up from Jia Yi's article and said: "A few words may not be able to fully express the thoughts in my heart. Now you can continue to add."
Jia Yi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said loudly: "In the past, Emperor Gao ruled the world and learned the lesson of the fall of the Qin Dynasty, so he made great contributions to the meritorious officials and clan members.
Later, kings with different surnames were executed one after another. Emperor Gao believed that the world was still in troubled times, so he ennobled the Liu family members as kings to guard the four directions.
This was indeed the way to go in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the past few decades, the world was indeed stable. But times have changed. Is there any way that is not easy in this world?
King Su is like the sky, supreme and holy.
The enfeoffments, rituals, music, and patriarchal clan established thousands of years ago will all fall apart one day.
Emperor Gao was appointed by Heaven, and within a few years, he ascended the throne in commoner clothes, and accepted the throne of Emperor. It is indeed a gesture of heaven and man, but compared with Zhao Gong, it is difficult to judge whether he is high or low. Can he be compared with King Su? ?
The system of King Su could protect the Zhou royal family for hundreds of years, while the system of Emperor Gao could only protect the Han Dynasty for decades. This is a fact that no one can change.
Moreover, the enfeoffment in the past was an overkill. Emperor Fusu enfeoffed only key passes and big cities, but Emperor Gao directly enfeoffed the entire country, especially the three kingdoms of Zhao and Chu, which were even able to resist the imperial court.
Is it really possible to protect the country of the Han Dynasty?
Is it really beneficial to the world?
This is a scourge to the world!
If this harm is not eliminated, once someone in the court or among the princes is not clear-headed, the war will definitely ignite.
The land of Zhuxia, which had just been stable for only a few decades, would once again be filled with refugees.
Moreover, I believe that after decades of pampering, these princes and kings have become corrupted too quickly, and the probability of a prince and king with unclear minds appearing is very high.
If the court does not clear their minds in time, the consequences are unpredictable.
All the princes were built to weaken their power.
Just like the King of Qi in the past, the Qi State was very powerful and Emperor Gao was extremely afraid of it.
However, after Princess Qi resigned and was divided into more than a dozen Chehous, Qi's speech instantly dropped, and Emperor Gao no longer interfered with Qi's affairs.
This is exactly why people start to think and feel fear when their strength is weak.
Once they think about it, they will understand that the imperial court is beyond their ability to fight against, so that they can calm down the world without any bloodshed. "
Luo Xin was noncommittal and asked: "Do the princes who build the princes follow the laws of Qi?"
Jia Yi shook his head and said: "Of course not. The position of Duke of Qi is a special conferment, and princes are the titles of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the clan is the king, so directly seizing the title of Chehou is a way to bring disaster.
The country should be divided first, and the princes should be awarded kingships respectively. Then, when the area of the kingdom is only one county, they should be gradually taken over as Chehou. "
Luo Xingyan glanced at Jia Yi and asked, "Aren't you going to keep Wang Jue for the Lord?"
Jia Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "I won't stay!"
Luo Xinyan said softly: "It is indeed possible to proceed according to your idea. To weaken the power of the princes and kings, it is necessary to implement the parallel operation of counties, counties and princes within the reach of the imperial army.
Your judgment is not wrong, but if it is just that, you can only be called a temporary talent, not a talented person.
There is a reason why I have not taken action against the princes and kings for so many years. I cannot find this reason. These are just rhetoric and policies that cannot be implemented. "
Not only Jia Yi could see the threat posed by princes and kings to the imperial court, in fact Luo Xin and other senior officials of the imperial court were very aware of it. As for the way to weaken the princes by building up the princes, Luo Xin and others could also think of it.
Jia Yi's ability to come up with solutions based on these indeed reflects his ability, but it is not enough. If simply dividing the vassal states could bring peace to the world, Luo Xin would have already done it despite the pressure.
He can still lead troops and quell chaos, and Han Xin is still in the court, so it is not difficult to defeat the vassal kingdoms, but Luo Xin has endured it for so many years.
Jia Yi heard the words and said: "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. The princes and kings are related to the country and the country and cannot be touched lightly. However, I insist on building up the princes, especially the big countries such as Zhao, Chu and Wu."
Seeing that Jia Yi did not change his mind because of his words, Luo Xin finally laughed. He picked up another volume of letters placed on the table and said with a smile: "Presumably this letter contains another article aimed at the princes and kings." Is it a policy?"
Jia Yi bowed deeply and said, "The Prime Minister is extremely wise and has the ability to predict the unknown. That's right."
Luo Xin slowly unfolded it, and at the beginning were the same few big characters - "Promote a relative to Wang Shu"
