    Chapter 5 Things have changed: "Why do Wang Qing bother to say this?" Li Longji said in a hoarse voice.  "Your Majesty, I ask you, why don't you use Li Bai?" "Although he has good talents, he is unruly and unfit for office." "You also know. I heard in Oceania that you want to use the son of the old prime minister. Several former prime ministers are upright and wise.  , teach his children well, Yao Chong's son Yao Yi was young and cultivated Jin, because the Yi man Hong forced Niu Xianke to become the prefect of Yongyang, so it was okay. Even so, this man was cautious and could be tempered by time.  Yes, he is at least several times better than your beloved Li Linfu. Xiao Songzi is also a man of magnanimity and talent.  Zhang Shuo¡¯s sons, Zhang Jun and Zhang Bian, don¡¯t mention these two, so as not to embarrass others. ¡°Both of them were talented, especially Zhang Bian, who was so fond of Li Longji that he married his daughter.  However, the two of them had bad character and thought that Li Longji would let them serve as prime ministers. However, due to the constraints of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, their wishes were not realized and they were always unhappy. So An Lushan surrendered as soon as he came in front, wagging his tail from behind.  .  No sense of integrity at all.  So Wang Hua said this.  And Zhang Bian had a lot of credit for framing Li Bai to wander around the world.  The legend is that Gao Lishi framed him, nonsense. Gao Lishi was cautious all his life. Even a proud man like Zhang Jiuling respected him very much. This was not respect for power, but respect for character. If Li Bai had nothing to do, let Gao Lishi escape.  Shoes, he is a jerk.  But once, when Li Bai was drunk, Gao Lishi helped him get on the dragon boat and cared for him ardently. This is all true.  Li Longji was rewarded with a bounty and Li Bai was expelled. It was Zhang Bian who couldn't stand Li Bai's bohemian style and talent, so he gained notoriety, which led to Li Bai's tragic end.  Otherwise, no matter what, it is still okay to be an insignificant little Beijing official.  Just like He Zhizhang, doesn't he drink until he is drunk every day?  ¡°In short, Zhang said that these two sons are out-and-out villains.  ¡°But Wang Hua didn¡¯t want to delve into this matter, he just wanted to start the topic.  "Why does Your Majesty value these six people so much? First, they are talented and learned, and second, they have a strict family tradition after being born in a famous family. Why not Li Bai, because he is bohemian. This shows that Your Majesty knows this truth. In this case, Your Majesty leaves Zhang Jiuling alone,  Leaving Li Shizhi unused and appointing Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong for more than 20 years, a great country has been ruined. Your Majesty, are you treason against the country? " "It's not that Hu Fan couldn't be used. I was here in the past?  In the northwest, Hu Fans were mostly used as generals, but there were many Han people among them who were often dissatisfied with the court. When governing the northwest, I also intended to integrate the Hu and Han families.  Become one. After arriving in Oceania, they even wanted to let the Han people rule the slaves of all races. This is also the reason for the great migration. Otherwise, how many people in the world can be used by me? What will happen to people who are not my race?  It must be different. But you are good. Soldiers are the country's sharp weapons. You let Wang Zhongsi, who grew up beside you, be demoted to death, but you let the barbarians and generals be used.  There are voices of barbarians. Are you treason against the nation? " "Some people have told you that An Lushan is rebellious, but you don't believe it. Finally, you have woken up, but you didn't take precautions.  Chang Qing and Gao Xianzhi were extremely famous generals, but at a small loss, they retreated through Tongguan and held on to the pass to trap the rebels from going west. Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and the Hebei rebels cut off the rebels' retreat and took their family members hostage.  The morale of the army was shaken. With the combination of Zhengqi and Qi, the rebels were about to be defeated. Feng Changqing wrote to point out this matter three times. Brother Shuhan also wrote to Guan Jian, but you only listened to Yang Guozhong.  He said that he first beheaded Chang Qing and Gao Xianzhi, and then forced Ge Shuhan to defeat the world's elite with a group of miscellaneous troops. From then on, from Hebei to Guanzhong, many people fell into the hands of the enemy, thousands of miles away.  It is desolate and desolate. Many families have been destroyed, and the people are in dire straits. You are rebelling against the common people. Therefore, the laws of the Tang Dynasty do not allow marriages between people with the same surname. At this time, Empress Dowager Zetian was just Taizong.  A talented person, not just a regular concubine, but also criticized by everyone in the world, but for the sake of sex, you even grabbed your daughter-in-law and let you have fun.  No? Have you read "Mencius"? Did Confucius tell you to do this, or did Mencius tell you to do this? Are you being righteous to the sage and rebelling against Gang Changlu?  "Wang Hua is certainly suspected of giving Li Longji four big hats, but the country is so corrupt that we have to say that Li Longji is the biggest culprit.  Even Gao Lishi, who was loyal to Li Longji, remained silent after hearing this.  Wang Hua asked again: "Your Majesty, todayAt this point, we can¡¯t go to Shu, nor can we go to Lingwu in Hexi, we can¡¯t go to Taiyuan, and we can¡¯t return to Chang¡¯an.  If I don't take action, what are your Majesty's plans?  Should we stay here and wait for the rebels to catch up?  " This sentence can be hidden from Li Longji, and even all the soldiers, but it can't be hidden from one person. Li Mi wanted to stop talking, but Wang Hua's eyes shot out a light. Although Li Mi practiced Taoism, he was also shocked.  He knew very well that although Wang Hua was nagging today, something big would happen soon, and he would not be willing to kill him.  There was no time to stop him. Li Longji couldn't answer. But he knew that since Wang Hua was here, he couldn't ignore it. He didn't know what conditions he would propose. "Your Majesty, you are waiting for Wang Hua to speak."  Remember the two questions I asked you in Lingzhou.  At that time, I asked you, what is the biggest crisis in front of the Tang Dynasty?  Have you figured it out now?  " "The barbarians are generals.  " Wang Hua shook his head. Maybe Li Longji thought about it when he was young. But in his later years, he didn't think about it at all. He didn't even think about the An Lushan rebellion. Otherwise, it would be impossible to give this simple answer.  . He said: "Wrong, it is not the general who is a foreigner.  It is the exclusive power of military commanders.  The shortage of land must lead to the destruction of the military system, and the military recruitment system has to be done even if you don't want to do it.  There is nothing wrong with this.  However, the recruitment system allowed the border generals to have countless troops at their disposal all year round.  This is very scary, but you gave them the right to manage local politics and economy, transfer personnel, and handle affairs.  Even if there is no An Lushan, people's hearts are not satisfied, just like you. Why do you have to pretend to be your daughter-in-law when there are seventy-two concubines in the six courtyards of the harem and countless beauties?  The same is true for the generals.  Then there will be Li Lushan, Zhang Lushan, and Liu Lushan in the future.  I still remember the situation when I was in Chang'an. Webster wanted to kill me.  But after I arrived in Lingzhou, why did she not dare to kill me, but instead used Baoer to seduce me?  Without him, he would have military power in his hands.  Or if I had the intention to rebel, would it be your turn to rule the world?  " "General manager, why didn't you say it before?"  "Gao Lishi complained. "Did the emperor listen to what I said?  He himself also knew that Zhang Jiuling was a good prime minister, and he also knew whether there was anyone as charming as Zhang Jiuling in his selection.  But what about Zhang Jiuling?  Who is using it?  And did Zhang Jiuling say anything about An Lushan? Did anyone else say that An Lushan wanted to rebel?  Did the emperor listen?  ¡± But he thought in his heart, I will not tell you this at all. If there was no Anshi Rebellion, how could I carry out an earth-shaking change in the country? Or if I told you, I might be able to avoid the scourge of the Anshi Rebellion, but that would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.  Will the country continue to follow the path of no Han people after the Tang Dynasty in one or two hundred years? Wang Hua's question made Gao Lishi speechless. Not to mention Wang Hua, Gao Lishi himself also gave advice many times.  But although Li Longji trusted him very much, he still refused to listen. Li Longji was helpless and asked in a low voice: "What about the answer to the first question?  " In fact, since he arrived in Lingzhou, he has developed a sense of fear towards Wang Hua. Moreover, Wang Hua regards the royal power as trivial, which makes him feel uncomfortable. But this also creates another mentality. If others say something about him, he will  He felt very unfair, but Wang Hua said he had nothing to do. ¡°The answer to the first question is that if you want to be a good emperor, you must learn to delegate power.  "Everyone said "Hey". Li Longji was even more puzzled. He asked: "It is precisely because I delegated power to the two prime ministers that I am today.  Why did Wang Qing say this?  " "What do you call decentralization?  Wang Hua sneered: "If Zhongzong had been more careful and not allowed Wei to poison him, and the competition continued, who would be the winner in the end?"  If your father is not as powerful as a rat, will you and Princess Taiping gain power?  If you wanted to take back your rights, could Li Linfu have stayed in phase for nineteen years?  What you are doing is not delegating power. It is handing over power to people who should not be handed it over, thereby causing harm to the country and the people.  " Wei Jiansu interrupted Wang Hua's words and said: "However, throughout the past and present, there have indeed been many emperors who wanted to achieve something, but were frustrated by powerful ministers or others, were unable to do anything, and even suffered tragic deaths.  " "It's good, especially the emperors in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.  But they were just false ministers and real emperors, and the power was transferred from the emperor to the hands of powerful ministers.  For example, Zhao Gao, Sima Daozi, Qingfu, and Liang Ji.  In fact, you still don¡¯t understand what I mean. When I say that the emperor has too much power, I am referring to the system of revolution.  A system that lacks supervision and covers the sky with one hand results in a person's rights being greater than the rights of God. If you want any life, you can have any life, and if you want any death, you can let anyone die.  Let me ask you again, there is delicious food, do you want to eat it?  ¡±  The people with status around them did not express their opinions, and the soldiers in the outer circle nodded one by one.  One of them was so hungry that his hair was spinning and his eyes were dizzy. After Wang Hua asked, everyone's stomach rang.  ¡°Do you want to get a beauty?¡± He glanced at Li Longji and even wanted to snatch his own daughter-in-law. Who doesn¡¯t want to get a beauty?  "Do you want to wear good clothes, do you want to live in a good house? Think about it, why since ancient times, if you add the kings of the Spring and Autumn Period, the seven kings of the Warring States, and the kings of the sixteen countries, the number of kings has reached nearly a thousand. But Mingjun has  How many? Are there a hundred people? Why does this happen? "The answer is ready to come out. "So the wise king uses his direct ministers to give advice and impose a framework on himself so that he will not be confused by the ** and focus on the country.  For example, the emperor used Han Xiu in the early days. This was using his direct ministers as a mirror to reflect his own merits and demerits.  The power makes you do whatever you want to satisfy your desires. But in the final analysis, it is still this kind of system. Jun Ming's admonishment platform can play a role. Jun Feng, there is no Yushitai in the court, but you become stupid in the emperor's eyes.  Did the Yushitai play a role?" At this point, he stood up and asked the surrounding soldiers: "Why do you need the emperor?" Wang Hua said before, everyone had some ideas in mind.  They all replied without hesitation: "The one who governs the country well." "Yes, Your Majesty, why do you want an emperor? It's not to build you a palace in Lishan Mountain, or to let you embrace beauties. It's the people who let you govern the country. Back then you  You also promised me repeatedly in Lingzhou that you would make this country stronger and the people more prosperous. But what did you do next? I heard a lot of talk in Oceania about why you gave your power to others.  The country is getting worse and worse, and I have handed over my rights to others, more thoroughly than you, but Oceania has prospered in turn? " "I first established three political parties, but I didn't dare to use them.  If there are two, they are afraid of colluding with each other, but if there are more, the political trends of the people will be simple, and they will not be able to distinguish between them. Therefore, no matter which party is elected, the two hostile parties will be watching.  His every move is to grab his tail and pave the way for his party's victory in the next election. Not only the enemy party, but also his own party are afraid that he will act recklessly and drag everyone down, so most people are cautious after being elected.  I can serve up to two terms at most, because over time, I will be able to control the state affairs. Not only that, but I also allocate a small sum of money every year to inform the people in the jurisdiction of the country's major events and the current situation so that they can understand it.  In state affairs, take the initiative to participate in state affairs. In addition, newspapers are established in many places to give people the right to speak. In addition to not violating the unity of the country and not violating the constitution, no matter what they want to say, they can be published in it. " "I know you.  Because I saved Princess Taiping and despised the imperial power. But I believe that you also read the Di newspaper. Although I didn't say it, I did it to you. But have you ever thought about why I did it?  Doing this? Even now, I don¡¯t know the answers to the two questions. ¡°I ask you again, where is the Kyushu Tripod?¡±  Bring out the huge Nine Provinces Cauldron.  Maybe the body and base of the tripod are still there, and even the eighty-one exquisite patterns are still there. After all, they are only valuable when they are on the tripod, and they lose their meaning when taken down.  But most of the gold, silver and jewelry on the tripod wall were snatched away by the mob in the chaos.  Li Longji once again did not answer.  "If you had urgently mobilized troops and deployed them in Henan when you suspected that An Lushan was rebellious, you would have been able to gain some relief. If you had listened to the words of Chang Qing and Ge Shuhan, you could have turned the corner. But you just listened to Yang Guozhong.  Now go where you can. The rebels will soon enter Chang'an. When the army in Hebei hears about this, their morale will be shattered. They will either be defeated or retreat to Hanhuai in the south, Dahai in the east, and Taihang in the west.  , Guanzhong, and the Xi clan in the north are all smoke. If you are killed again, the world will be leaderless. I wonder if the surname of this country is An or Zhang?  Wang Hua did not wait for him to speak, but directly interrupted him and said: "Even if there is a turnaround, we must rely on the power of generals from various places. Generals from various places have unlimited rights. This time they must be reused to give them the rights they have."  Even bigger. Once An Lushan dies, there will be countless more An Lushans in the world. The Tang royal family will also decline and disappear in name only. "There are many reasons for the separatist rule of feudal towns, but this reason mentioned by Wang Hua is also the fundamental reason.  one.  Smart people, such as Li Mi, have already started to lower their heads and think.  "Your Majesty, your Majesty"This is the end." At this point, he stood up and said to everyone: "Your Majesty, now you have two options.  If you think that this world is yours alone, not the world of these soldiers, not the world of the people, these soldiers, these people are just the pigs and dogs of your Li family, I will leave immediately.  If you still have a shred of conscience, there is another path available.  " Li Mi and others all smiled bitterly. If you really want to leave, it may not be as serious as you said, but after your confusion, now that you have left, who among these soldiers is still willing to follow the emperor? Li Longji was silent for most of the day.  , then asked: ¡°What other path is there?  " "Like me, retire behind the scenes and continue to retain the royal family.  This is also what I actually thought when you thought I wanted to rebel.  The state allocates funds every year for your royal family's expenses, and at the same time allows your royal family to retain their own industrial operations and enjoy certain rights to national honor.  As for the Tang Dynasty, the system of Oceania will be realized, allowing the people to be the masters of their own country and become the true masters of the country.  Then I will mobilize elite troops to Oceania, defeat the rebels, and allocate a large amount of money to quickly stabilize the country.  It also makes the Kyushu truly unified on the Kyushu Tripod.  Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing. Except for the surrounding areas, the land of Kyushu was not captured by the Tibetan Uighurs, etc., but I have started to send troops to wipe it out.  There are also some places in South Asia that are run by major aristocratic families, and except for Africa, which has just begun to be developed, other places are conquered.  That is to say, the cultivated land will be dozens of times that of the Tang Dynasty.  Not to mention that the current population of the Tang Dynasty has increased twenty-fold, and there is still arable land.  In other words, if you cooperate, the dream of the Tang Dynasty in the hearts of ordinary people will come immediately.  "After finishing speaking, he said to everyone: "Soldiers, do you want to live a life where you have countless fertile fields and a large number of slaves at your disposal?  "Of course I thought about it, and they all answered in unison. "Although Oceania has tens of millions of slaves, and even more slaves can be captured immediately if necessary, the slaves are distributed based on military merit.  So, will you all obey my orders?  " "No.  " Li Heng secretly tugged Li Mi's elbow. Li Mi shook his head helplessly and whispered: "Your Highness, things have changed.  " Today Wang Hua is giving advice. It's easy to say. It's hard to say, but it has to be done even if it doesn't work. Then maybe he will really withdraw his troops? Even if he doesn't agree, he will kill people immediately. Even if Li Heng is the prince, he can't do it.  I will also kill him on the spot. No matter what happens in the future, I will save my life first. ¡°All the soldiers agreed. I don¡¯t know whether your Majesty agrees.  Oh, I forgot one thing. If Your Majesty agrees, I will ensure the safety of Concubine Yang, and let you live a life where you only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals. Also, I will immediately send someone to Chang'an to see if Concubine Mei can be  Take it over and let your family reunite.  After finishing speaking, he turned back, looked at the soldiers, and asked: "After the emperor agrees, will you still force the emperor to kill Concubine Yang?"  " "No," they replied one by one. "They have no life-or-death feud with Concubine Yang. The reason why they let her die was just as Wang Hua said, because they were afraid that Concubine Yang would stir up trouble in the future. Now that even the emperor has been deposed, and  Why bother to let a woman die? When Wang Hua was asking questions, Gao Lishi whispered in Li Longji's ear: "The Emperor of Han was obsessed with beauty and wanted to overwhelm the country, and Yu Yu couldn't get it for many years.  " This sentence also reminded Li Longji of the poem he had read many years ago, and he shuddered all over. Could it be that Wang Hua was sure that this scene was bound to happen many years ago, so he temporarily gave in to Oceania and waited patiently for many years  Years ago, it only officially happened today? This is too weird. Besides, people have been preparing for it for decades. Why should I fight? Thinking of this, he became disheartened and said: "I agreed, but I have  I can agree to one condition only if you agree to it.  " []
