Chapter 88: The Art of Governing the Country Zhu Tong also saw this greeting card, and he asked: "Is it the third prince who is here?" "Who is he?" Wang Hua pointed to the clump of black bamboo and said. . . Although it occupies a small area on the worship post, the four or five bamboos are staggered at different heights, with different shades of wither and withered colors, and are all exquisitely decorated. There are also several strange rocks on the edge, and there are a few clumps of bluegrass growing beside the rocks. The picture is not big, but it has the style of everyone. Wang Hua added: "Just talking about this ink bamboo, there are no more than ten people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can paint this level. Even if I use my brush, I can't paint this elegant and beautiful style." Zhu Dian was deep in thought. He also knew Wang Hua's plan a long time ago. He entered the capital under the banner of Li Chongjun, so that he would have great righteousness and gain combat effectiveness. The Blood Camp was not Xu Jingye¡¯s army. After entering the capital, he quickly brought order to the chaos. If Li Chongjun can be a good emperor, let him continue to do so. If you can't do it, then depose him and establish a good emperor again. At this point, Wang Hua is not afraid of the world saying that he is Cao Cao and Wang Mang. Moreover, Huo Guang Yiyin also did this in history. If a good successor is found, Wang Hua will take the initiative to withdraw from the Tang Dynasty. I believe that when the time comes, we will no longer look at the Buddha's face but the monk's face. Because of Wang Hua's retreat, the soldiers of the Blood Camp will also be reused under the guilt of the new emperor. If there is no good successor, Wang Hua does not mind taking control of the government, slowly taking control of the power and becoming the emperor himself. This was not for Wang Hua himself, but for all the people of the Tang Dynasty. This goal came very timely. In fact, these generals, including Ge Shuhan, were very confused. Although we won a big victory, we can¡¯t keep fighting like this. There will be an end. Now Wang Hua is not sure about his path, and everyone is somewhat worried about the future. After hearing what Wang Hua said, Ge Shuhan said: "Ying Governor, is there any good successor in the Tang Dynasty? Why don't you just become the emperor." Wang Hua shook his head: "That is an undesirable approach. In fact, I am not a good candidate for the emperor, because my personality is too indifferent. To be an emperor, you must not only have talent, but also have ambition." Although Wang Hua refused, the generals were still excited when this goal was set. But this plan has long excluded Li Longji. Wang Hua sighed and said: "If we just talk about the power of strategy, the former Queen Mother should be the best in the world. Then we come to the Prime Minister and Princess Taiping. Compared with them, Wei Shi is still far behind." At this point, he He still ordered his subordinates to give this greeting card to Li Chiying. Li Chiying came out and glanced at Wang Hua nervously. Seeing Wang Hua and Zhu Tong chatting and laughing happily, they walked out quietly. All this fell into Wang Hua's eyes. Wang Hua wanted to laugh, but he held it back. Seeing her leaving, Zhu Tong asked: "Ying Governor, what do you think?" Wang Hua replied: "If he were the emperor alone, he would be a good emperor for about twenty-five to thirty years, and he would definitely be better than me. Well done. But in the next ten years, there may be a second Hu Hai alive. "When Li Longji took over the Tang Dynasty, the long-standing disadvantages left by Wu Zetian and Li Xian became more serious. , the country has also reached a critical moment. Not much worse than Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, after his drastic rectification, the Kaiyuan era unprecedented in history emerged. During this period, Li Longji could be ranked among the top ten or even the top five emperors in Chinese history in terms of his actions. The cultural and martial arts of the Tang Dynasty once again reached an astonishing height. But in the 29th year of Kaiyuan, there was nothing to say, but in the 14th year of Tianbao, things were completely different. Zhu Dian is not a time traveler, so he doesn¡¯t know how Wang Hua came to this conclusion. Not only this, but the origin of many of Wang Hua's knowledge is also unknown. Don't listen to his nonsense, saying that he got it from books. Some knowledge can't be found even after reading ancient and modern Chinese and foreign books. But this point made Zhu Tong very fascinated and convinced. Wang Hua made a metaphor and asked Zhu Tong to choose. The next one, Hu Hai, was very important. When Hu Hai was in power, the Qin Dynasty was overthrown in just a few years. Zhu Tong thought for a while and replied: "If Hu Hai comes next, don't say more than ten years, just three to five years. It's okay not to choose." No matter how great the achievements are, the prerequisite is to protect the country. Just like Li Xian, if he didn't die, would Wang Hua dare to openly raise the banner of rebellion? If we can't even save this country, what's the use of all the hard work we've done in the past? Besides, Wang Hua now has chess pieces available, so there is no need to take this risk. "Okay, I'll listen to you, sir." The two of them continued to discuss how to deal with Mochu. Even now with the help of Xue Na, the two of them still find it very difficult. In fact, if there is no danger on all sides and we don't use troops everywhere, we can just lead these tens of thousands of people walking around silentlyThe blood battalion directly left Yinshan. Even in his country, Mochu could only flee north in panic. By doing this, Guan Jian missed the opportunity to fight. At that time, the army was withdrawn, and hundreds of thousands of Tang troops were stationed in Yanjing, Wei and other states. They even added another weight, the long bow. It is impossible for Wang Hua to attack Zhucheng again and force Li Xian. Therefore, Mochu must be lured over and beaten. But how to lead? The two of them stood in silence, racking their brains, but they still couldn't come up with a good idea. "You are not the only one in the world who is Cao Mengde (before "Three Kingdoms" came out, people evaluated the three heroes based on historical evaluation, Cao Cao was far above Sun Quan and Liu Bei), there are also Sun Quan and Liu Bei. Otherwise, you wouldn't be too lonely alone. ?¡± ¡°Mr. Zhu is wrong. How can I dare to compare with these three people? But I do admire another person, Zhuge Wuhou.¡± After hearing this, Zhu Dian raised his lips and was very proud. When I was at Wang's house in Taiyuan, I analyzed Wang's paintings and said that he was "looking for friends." Sure enough, the analysis was not wrong. But he still asked: "Excuse me, where is your Liu Bei?" This request was very difficult. Liu Bei looked at the grass without saying anything, and he never had the idea of ????conquering Zhuge Liang with great achievements. On the contrary, Baidi City also asked him when he asked him to leave. In short, if my son can't do it, you can take his place. This not only requires the owner's trust, but also the owner's tolerance. Even Wu Zetian, who was very gentle to Wang Hua, couldn't do this. This is more difficult than finding a good emperor. Wang Hua shook his head: "Ignore this for now, let's discuss it and drink in silence." After a while, Li Chiying came back timidly and looked at Wang Hua. Wang Hua knew the truth and asked: "Little princess, what can I do for you?" "I, I," Li Chiying hesitated for a few words, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "My third brother wants to see you." "Hey, your third brother "He just arrived in Lingzhou today, but I asked Erlang and Mr. Zhu to keep it a secret for him." "I know that if the news gets out, your third brother will be in danger, and even your father will be in danger." "Erlang, you're so kind." "What's the matter with him coming to Lingzhou?" "I don't know, he asked me to convey it for him. It's okay if Erlang doesn't see you, he will go back immediately." "Then you let him go back immediately. "Erlang, this, this." Zhu Dian winked and said, "Go, don't worry, your third brother won't really go back." After finishing speaking, Zhu Dian leaned on the table and laughed. Li Longji finally came to Lingzhou, how could he go back so easily? This is just Li Longji holding a shelf. At this time, the prince was showing off with Wang Hua. Li Chiying thought for a moment and came to an understanding. Although she couldn't bear it, she had to go out again. Li Longji was in a teahouse not far away. When I heard what my sister said, I was really angry and wanted to leave. But after thinking about it, I sat down again, breathing heavily. Li Chiying begged: "Third brother, I don't know what you have to do with Erlang, but I don't think he has any ill intentions towards you. Everyone, step back and forget it." Li Longji angrily did not answer. "Third brother, if you don't leave, someone will pay attention to you." No one really knows Li Longji, but Li Chiying doesn't know anyone nearby. When I first started talking to a strange man, no one cared. But when she came back after leaving, some people noticed her. Ordinary people don't have this kind of vision, but the waiter does. Although Li Longji is dressed as a civilian, he looks majestic and majestic. There are two sturdy men standing behind him, vaguely looking like he is protecting his master. Needless to say, he has a lot of background. ????????????????????? Even the little princess is so humble, is it possible, is it possible? Some waiters have already guessed that Li Longji may be Li Chiying's brother, but that brother doesn't have the discernment. When Li Longji saw this situation, he couldn't stay any longer. If he stayed any longer, his identity might be revealed. It is not a big problem if it spreads in the eight states, but if it spreads to Luoyang, it will be a big problem. We had no choice but to follow Li Chiying to Wang Hua's house. This time Wang Hua was not embarrassed. In any case, it was his third brother-in-law who came to visit. He greeted him at the door and enthusiastically took him to the study. The old rule is that when Wang Hua receives people in the living room, they are either casual or they are his own people. Only when he receives guests in the study are he distinguished guests. When he came to the study, Wang Hua asked his servants to serve tea, and then took out a piece of paper with a paragraph written on it: "When the Qin Dynasty was established, all the princes were destroyed, and the whole world was under heaven." But in his heart, he thought that the fall of the Zhou Dynasty was due to the strong ears of the princes, and they turned feudalism into counties. Fang thought that the military revolutionBut if it is not used again, the position of the emperor can be maintained for the rest of the world. It is not known that the Han emperor arose in Longmu and died in the state of Qin. The Han Dynasty punished the isolation of Qin, so it built a large-scale construction to cover up the evil and established vassals, thinking that relatives with the same surname could succeed one after another without any change, but the Seven Kingdoms planned to usurp and kill them. After Wu Xuan, he analyzed it a little and divided its power. He thought that nothing happened, so Wang Mang moved his troops to Zuo, Han Dynasty. Guangwu punished Aiping, Wei punished Han, Jin punished Wei, each punished its own people and prepared for them. And their deaths were all due to unpreparedness. Wang Hua waited for him to finish reading, and picked it up regardless of Li Longji's deep thought. Then he said: "The prince is here because of the entrustment of the prime minister." Li Longji knew that he could not hide it and did not need to hide it, so he replied: "Exactly." "Can you let me guess the purpose of the prince's coming?" "Please" ." "Is it because the Prime Minister saw that His Majesty began to reflect on himself, and there was some rift with the Queen? But now it is too late for His Majesty to reflect, and the power is already under the control of the Queen. Therefore, the rift is getting bigger, and His Majesty is in danger. When a big change comes, the Prime Minister wants to ask me to send troops to help and correct the situation?" Li Longji was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Wang Hua suspiciously and said, "You are no different from treason now. Why would Gu's father propose such a thing? "Your Majesty, I have told you before that I want to tell you whether I want to rebel or not, and whether I want to be the emperor or not. Is it unclear to you whether you want to rebel or not?" Wherever you come from, please go." To be honest, although Wang Hua was smiling, his attitude was very arrogant. Li Longji held back his anger and said: "Shilang Wang's guess was quite correct. I heard that in order to save 10,000 people, you fought fiercely with the Turks in Hetao. The battle was very tragic. Therefore, my father specially came here He told me to come here and ask Erlang to help me. If there is no big change, I will do it myself. If there is a big change, I can send troops immediately to stabilize the political situation, so that the world will have a peaceful time, so that the people of the world will have a happy life, and the country will not be strong. No matter how serious the injury is, you can give the people of the world a good life? "No one else dares to say that, at least I will do this." "But how can you guarantee that you will ascend to the throne?" There is also a father who is in his prime and two older brothers." Li Longji was speechless for a moment. But Wang Hua changed the topic and said: "Actually, I can help you ascend to the throne, but you tell me how to be a good emperor?" Li Longji was vague on this matter. If he answered, it would not prove it. Is he ambitious? Where are my father and two brothers? However, Wang Hua reminded him again and again that opening the skylight to speak openly and talking to this monster in a hidden and coercive manner would appear to be a lack of sincerity. So he directly said: "Open the way for speech." "Yes, it is a good policy. Then what?" "Introduce the virtuous and accept the words, retreat from the slander and depose the evil." "Stop, stop, let me ask you, what is virtuous and what is evil?" "Fu Zuo A king is conscientious, handles official affairs without bias, governs the people with benevolence, righteousness and love, and does not like the Lord but hates flattery, and does not seek to be harmonious for his own way. On the contrary, it is evil. " Wang Hua shook his head. Said: "Your Majesty, you still remember that I wrote a shocking and profound sentence during the scientific examination. Why do you say this when a loyal person is a traitor? The turbid current will harm the country, and the clear current will also harm the country. The clear stream often does not know how to make a name for itself. Tongbian and rigid dogma are sometimes more harmful to the country than turbulent currents. Let me give you an analogy: Your Majesty, you have now arrived in Luzhou and served as a local official. How many officials are not greedy? " Li Longji thought for a moment. Can't answer. "Actually, this is normal. The salary given by the court is limited after all. But officials themselves have a lot of expenses to support their families, and some even have maids and concubines. Is this salary enough? With power in their hands, how many people can endure it? But can we exclude all corrupt officials because of corruption?" Li Longji thought for a moment and shook his head in frustration. "Besides, upright officials are certainly respected. But handling government affairs is not as simple as imagined. If one thing is dealt with, it will lead to thousands of things. If it is cleared up to the end, the dogma is rigid and does not know how to adapt, this matter Nine times out of ten, it's not handled well. So the ancients said, "When the water is clear, there will be no fish." The Queen Mother taught me to be a hypocrite, and my teacher taught me to be flexible. " Li Longji asked Wang Hua to make a circle. Confused, he asked: "What should we do?" "It is right to promote good and punish evil, it is right to speak out and speak out, it is right to be diligent in political affairs, and it is even more right to appoint capable ministers. The country There are so many things that it¡¯s impossible to handle them all by one person. But that¡¯s not the main reason.¡± ¡°I ask you, why?¡±The political power was returned to the Li clan, but the country became even more chaotic than when the two empress dowagers were arrogant. " "Because the queen provoked Chao Gang, the following ministers seduced her. " "What's the main reason? " "The emperor still trusts the queen too much. " Wang Hua still shook his head: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. " "What's the reason? ¡± In fact, the reason is very simple, mainly because of the monarchy. The biggest advantage of the monarchy is the high concentration of power. If you meet a wise monarch, the country can immediately get on track. For example, Li Shimin, and another example is Li Shimin during the Kaiyuan Dynasty. Longji. But this is a good emperor. If you encounter a weak king, the country will decline very quickly. What if the king does not have such great power? Just like this time, if Li Xian had the power to divide the three provinces and six tribes, Lao Wuliu would actually die. The foundation we laid down is no longer strong, let Lao Wu do it, and the foundation left behind by Tang Gaozong is almost done, but there is still some foundation, especially since Lao Wu killed many talents and used many talents. How much control over the three provinces and six ministries can he give to Wei? Then the country will not be corrupted to the extent it is today. At least Wang Hua will not force Wei to kill the palace and escape from Luoyang. Wang Hua replied: "The reason is. I know for sure, but I'm now looking for answers to resolve it as well. " Monarchy cannot be denied now, because people's thinking has not evolved to the point of accepting democracy. If democracy is introduced rashly, it will not save the country, but split it. So Wang Hua has not found a solution yet. "what reason? " "This is the purpose of my conversation with you. If you can think of this reason and find the answer, I can immediately put down my arrogance and support you. Of course, I can only support you. Your father is not good enough. He is too feminine and is not good enough to be an emperor. Neither are your two brothers, they are too honest. Nor is he the material to be a good emperor. " Li Longji didn't know whether he was angry or happy after hearing this. He was so angry that he despised his family, but he was happy because he was optimistic about himself. But what was the reason? Li Longji couldn't help but think deeply. But he never dreamed of the reason. On the topic of monarchy, Wang Hua took out the piece of paper again, handed it to him and said, "Look at this again. Think about it, if the Tang Dynasty declined, what would be the reasons? " The biggest reason for the Tang Dynasty was the separatism of vassal towns, and then the eunuch dictatorship and cronyism. But these are all things later, but these are the bane left by Li Longji. Although Gao Lishi's character is not bad, at least in state affairs He has made many contributions, which is much better than Li Bai being drunk all day long and then doing Xie An. But it was Gao Lishi who started it, and the murderers came out one after another, Li Fuguo, Cheng Yuanzhen, and Yu Chaoen. , one is worse than the other. Then starting from Yang Yan's killing of the hero Liu Yan, the crony began to rise again, until the Niu-Li conflict reached its peak, and the Tang Dynasty finally had no cure. But the main reason was the Anshi Rebellion. To destroy, Li Longji made local adjustments, gave Jiedushi more power, controlled the local military, government, finance and military power, and blindly appointed Hu soldiers and generals. The benefits were beneficial to the situation and saved the country a lot of expenses. Hu soldiers and generals improve the combat effectiveness, because they know the basics, the generals know the soldiers, and the soldiers know the generals, which increases the chance of victory. However, this gave An Lushan the foundation for his ambition. Secondly, Li Longji was extremely stupid in his later years, which gave birth to An Lushan. The courage to rebel. This change announced the end of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty had many shortcomings, such as the increase in households running away. Now there is no problem. No matter how many people are settled, it depends on whether the court is willing to let go. Then there is the over-concentration of power among military officers. In the Song and Ming Dynasties, a good man was not a soldier, but a good man was not a soldier. But in the Tang Dynasty, the situation was reversed. All literati preferred centurions to scholars. This set the tone for the decades of military and Anshi chaos. Horn. Even if there is no An Lushan, there is probably Li Lushan. Wang Hua originally wanted to send people to find two people, one was Li Linfu and the other was An Lushan. Li Longji has fallen into oblivion, and the root cause is still in Li Longji himself. Wang Hua asked two questions now, and said: " If you can answer this question, I will also consider whether I can help you achieve great things. " "What if I can't answer it? " "It's the same sentence, where you come from, where you go back. Go ahead. " Li Longji had no choice but to leave. Now Wang Hua has made it clear that he does not want to rebel, but he wants to find a good emperor to make the world peaceful. He seems to be very satisfied with himself and gave some tips. These two questions count as Tested. Although doing this is a bit arrogant, people are now arrogant and have the ability to be arrogant. But when I returned to the inn, these two questions seemed to be very simple, but the more I thought about it, the less so. But he also had a way to quietly find Li Chiying and raise these two issues. Li Chiying was also dumbfounded, shook her head and said, "I don't know either." But as soon as Li Chiying left, Wang Hua sent someone to deliver a letter, saying: "Don't ask the little princess, you can't get the answer even if you ask. Now I¡¯ll give you four months. If you can answer it within four months, I will still promise you what I promised you. If you can¡¯t answer it, you don¡¯t have to answer it.¡± ¡°There are still four months left,¡± Li Chongjun said. After arriving, there is no need for Li Longji as a chess piece. Li Longji scratched his head, it seemed that the conditions were very favorable. There were actually four months, and it seemed that he was taking advantage of the opportunity, and Wang Hua had no objection. His mind was very active. He turned around and immediately thought that in four months, I could go back and ask my father. Also, Zhang said that there was another person, Song Jing, who had gone back. They all had a good relationship with Wang Hua. They usually had a good relationship with Wang Hua. Conversed many times. Maybe Wang Hua would mention this issue during the conversation. Is it really that simple? Thinking of this, he immediately found Wang Hua again and asked, "Can I go back?" Wang Hua stared at him, then looked at the ink bamboo attached to it, and shook his head. How could he not know what Li Longji was thinking. Third brother-in-law, please take your time. So he said: "Whatever, I don't have the right to restrict your personal freedom. Even if you go to the ends of the world, it doesn't matter. Again, it's limited to four months, and you will be responsible for the expiration." Then he watched this third brother-in-law, Le Dingding. of leaving. []
