"Daoji, your Majesty's ambitions are still high, and your ambition is still the same. It is really a blessing to the great man and the world!" On the way to the Zhengshi Hall after leaving Chongzheng Hall, Tao Gu stroked his gray beard. His old face was very bright. He sighed, with just a slight accent in his tone.
Walking hand in hand with him in the corridors of the palace, Wei Renpu did not care about Tao Gu's reliance on his elders. Wei Renpu said calmly and firmly: "Your Majesty is full of ambition and never slackes off. We can only do our best to support the holy dynasty!"
Hearing this, Tao Gu became slightly excited, and his old eyes shone with a hint of yearning: "It would be an honor for us as ministers to be able to assist the Emperor Bi, create a prosperous age, and follow the rule of Kaitian."
As he said that, Tao Gu's eyes were filled with sadness again, and he sighed softly: "It's a pity that I'm old and frail, so I'm afraid I won't be lucky enough to accompany Your Majesty and the big man to that step, and see that day!"
Wei Renpu was slightly surprised to see Tao Gu rarely showing such a depressed posture. After feeling his words, he comforted him and said: "Tao Gong does not need to be ashamed of himself. You must know that when Yao Chong assisted Xuanzong, he was already sixty and three years old. It can lay the foundation for the prosperous Kaiyuan era..."
Tao Gu is only sixty years old now.
"Daoji, there is no need to praise me. Although I think I am talented, I dare not compare myself with Kaiyuan Xian! I still have this self-knowledge!" Tao Gu shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
It can be said that at that time, after more than ten years of "wasted time" in the imperial court, Tao Gu's only thought was to be able to hold the position, and that was enough. However, after a long-cherished wish is truly realized, new goals inevitably arise, such as wanting to make achievements and leaving a mark in history.
However, nowadays, the Han Dynasty is full of talents, and there are many capable ministers both inside and outside the court. In terms of qualifications, Tao Gu may not be as good as others, but he is also quite knowledgeable, but it is beyond his ability to truly guide the imperial dynasty, coordinate yin and yang, and govern the world. .
With a cloud of white steam coming out of his mouth, Tao Gu looked at Wei Renpu and smiled again: "However, you, Wei Dao Jigong, are the 'Yao Song' of our time!"
"Tao Gong is overrated! At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were only four great sages. How can I dare to compare with 'Yao Song'?" Wei Renpu also said humbly.
"Daoji's demeanor is so impressive!" Tao Gu said seriously.
Among the successive prime ministers since the founding of the Han Dynasty, in terms of ability, magnanimity, and magnanimity, Wei Renpu was the first to be praised. He was both outstanding in talent and humility, tolerant and tolerant, and good at managing affairs. He was a perfect prime minister. During the few years when Wei Renpu was in power, the Han Dynasty Central Committee had the least conflicts and conflicts. This was a period when Wei Renpu decided the affairs of the government, upheld the public spirit, and was quite convinced by everyone from top to bottom.
Of course, the imperial court is also a big mess. No matter how good you are, you will still have people who criticize and slander you. However, perhaps because of many years of friendship, or perhaps because of the emperor's trust in him, Tao Gu has always been very supportive of Wei Renpu.
An era name has triggered the imagination of too many people. What the ministers saw in the word "Kai Bao" was their governance aspirations and political ambitions, and what they saw was a clear and unambiguous goal.
This actually made Wei Renpu and other ministers subconsciously feel at ease. Liu Chengyou can be regarded as the true founder of the Han Dynasty, with unparalleled prestige. His ideological consciousness has had a great impact on the country.
After fifteen years of hard work, and after completing the historical mission of unifying the world, many people who were born with worries began to be wary. They were afraid that the emperor would lose his goals, or that he would be tired from years of hard work and would want to slack off. This is not without precedent. To take a closer look, Zhuangzong Li Cunxu of the Later Tang Dynasty was an unavoidable topical figure.
What is Kaibao? In addition to its beautiful literal meaning, "to rival Kaiyuan and catch up with Tianbao", this may be the simplest and most direct explanation of Emperor Liu's goal. Although Li Tang perished for more than half a century, it still has great influence on the current situation. For our people, it is still an empire worthy of remembrance and commemoration.
Although the founding of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty started well but did not end well, that period can be said to be the pinnacle of the development of the Chinese imperial dynasty. It was a glorious and splendid era, and a splendid civilization bloomed in the east with great brilliance. .
In terms of the degree of development in all aspects such as population, economy, system, military, territory, and international status, no other imperial dynasty in the past can compare with these comprehensive impacts.
Even if the Anshi Rebellion exposed the weakness behind the prosperity, the building collapsed, the glory was gone, and the vitality was difficult to recover, the prosperous Kaiyuan era and the Tianbao romance were still deeply imprinted in people's memories. Recalling the past when Kaiyuan was in its heyday, there were still thousands of families in the small town. A poem by a famous poet also expressed people's nostalgia for the prosperity of the Kaitian era.
Although it is not as magnificent and heroic as the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, and although there are many hidden dangers in the later period, the achievements achieved in the Kaiyuan and Tianbao eras are an indisputable fact.
Even during the Qianyou period of Emperor Liu, as the country gradually became unified and the world returned to peace, when the monarchs and ministers began to consider how to govern this huge country, they could not help but mention that era. Apart from sighing, there is also a sense of longing.
Now, Emperor Liu also plans to declare his ambition to the world by changing the Yuan Dynasty to "Kai Bao", and also sets a goal for the Han Dynasty's bureaucrats. Because of this, the ministers present expressed their support without hesitation. It was precisely because they felt the emperor's great ambition. While they were immersed in the joy of reunifying the north and the south and rebuilding the world, Liu Chengyou's eyes had already been set on It's coming.
"Lv Yuqing, do you think that under my leadership, the Han Dynasty can equal the heavens and open up the treasures of China?" In the Chongzheng Hall, Liu Chengyou put down some intelligence from the Hexi region and asked Lu Yin.
After hearing the question, Lu Yin said without hesitation: "Your Majesty is an unparalleled hero, with great civility and martial virtue, not to mention the prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period. As long as you can not forget your original intention, start well and finish well, given time, you will achieve great things!"
Lu Yin's words not only praised Emperor Liu highly, but also implied admonishment. Since ancient times, there have been too many examples of good beginnings but bad endings. Of course, Emperor Liu aimed at Kaiyuan Tianbao and had the idea of using it as a warning.
Not to mention that the current Han Dynasty is far from the peak of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and even the poor Emperor Liu may not be able to catch up in his lifetime. After all, before Li Longji, there was the rule of Zhenguan, Emperor Wu's linkage, nearly a hundred years of foundation laying, and Liu Chengyou's How old is the man? Even if the country's social development reached that level under its governance, we still have to be wary of the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. That was a bloody lesson.
"I have brought peace to the world in fifteen years, but I don't know how much time it will take to bring order to the world!" With a confident smile on his face, Emperor Liu sighed.
Soon, all emotions subdued, and Liu Chengyou told Lu Yin: "Draft an edict. Our great ancestor founded the country, and he died suddenly before he started his business, placing a huge burden on me. Fortunately, thanks to the talented people from all over the world, Heroes from all over the world must give their full support to the throne to protect the country and create great achievements. I have been unwavering in my determination for the past fifteen years. Now the world has been peaceful for the first time, and the north and the south have been unified. Among them are ministers of civil and political affairs and men of martial arts who should be rewarded. In the political affairs hall, The Privy Council and the Ministry of Personnel will summarize the achievements of Qianyou generals and ministers, so as to re-plan the merits and rewards!"
"Yes!" Lu Yin couldn't help but look at Emperor Liu. He knew that the emperor had already had this in mind.
This is a big project, and it is a troublesome thing that can easily offend people. Lu Yin asked for instructions: "I wonder which ministers are responsible for this?"
"Wei Renpu, Murong Yanzhao, Xue Juzheng, Dou Yi, Li Chuyun!" Liu Chengyou named five names.
