Chapter 448 The Disaster of Foreign Relatives Worse than Foreign Enemies?(1/2)
Chapter 448 Are relatives more harmful than foreign enemies?
No matter how Wang Lin spoke for Han Ting, Li Gang, Wu Min, Guo Zhishun, Huang Qishan, and even Zhang Jun and Ma Kuo, who had always obeyed Wang Lin's words, remained silent and refused to speak out.
Wang Lin knew that when he first came to the throne, it was not appropriate to use thunderous means to suppress the authority of his cabinet ministers.
Otherwise, not only will the foundation of his new emperor be unstable, but the political hall he has just built will also fall apart.
Once the political hall cannot suppress the group of officials, the government will be in chaos.
Besides, Wang Lin knew that Li Gang, Wu Min and others had no selfish motives at all.
Fundamentally speaking, preventing disasters from foreign relatives is also the only way to strengthen imperial rule.
This is for his own good.
Li Gang looked deeply at Wang Lin, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, relatives have done more harm than powerful enemies!"
Li Gang was about to quote scriptures and give examples to prove his point of view and achieve the purpose of admonishing the emperor. Wang Lin tiredly waved his hand and signaled Li Gang to stop talking. He understood.
The problem of foreign relatives has been a headache for emperors of all dynasties, and there is basically no good solution.
The power of the Qin State was controlled by the Queen Mother Zhao Ji and the Prime Minister Lu Buwei, and Lao Ai relied on the Queen Mother to run rampant.
In the main hall, King Yingzheng of Qin faced the officials who denounced the "disaster caused by foreign relatives" and was forced to make the decision that "since there are only a few people, the Qin Dynasty will never establish a queen." This was a preventive measure taken by King Yingzheng of Qin against foreign relatives interfering in politics.
Lu Pheasant was the queen of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Bang's death, the group of Lu family relatives behind her controlled the Han Dynasty for decades, which can be said to be the pinnacle of the relatives' involvement in politics.
Internally, Empress Lu eradicated all the kings surnamed Liu who opposed her, and externally promoted a large number of Lu disciples to control the army. She was not an emperor, but better than an emperor.
Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, a man of great talent and strategy, suffered greatly from the misfortunes caused by his relatives. In his later years, he established the system of "killing his mother after setting up a son" to prevent the harem and allow relatives to join forces to interfere in politics.
Wang Mang in the late Han Dynasty, Yang Jian in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin in the former Song Dynasty were all relatives, and they all usurped the imperial power of the previous dynasty.
Li Gang was silent, but that didn't mean that Wu Min was silent. Guo Zhishun and others also took turns to speak, and they spoke so earnestly that Wang Lin was speechless.
He only thinks that Han Ting is a talent. How can he kill his opportunity to contribute to the country just because he is his wife's brother? Isn't this too ridiculous?
Wang Lin smiled bitterly: "Dear ministers, I just think that Han Ting is quite talented, well-behaved, and very good at practical matters. The court is currently employing people, so it would be too pedantic to leave talented people unused.
Of course, I am also well aware of the disasters caused by foreign relatives that you have mentioned.
However, my family members are few and far between. There are only a few relatives. The only one I can confirm is an uncle's family. As for the queen's family, the Han family has been a famous noble family for hundreds of years. They have several ministers and ministers, and they have contributed to the court for generations.
, how can it be that just because the queen comes from the Han family, the channels for the children of the Han family to become officials are cut off?"
Huang Qishan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I know Han Ting acquaintance, and I know that this son's character and talent are the best choice.
My ministers did not say that the Han family's heirs would definitely cause harm to the family and the country in the future, but the court should have made arrangements and made plans in advance to prevent disasters caused by foreign relatives.
Precisely because the Han family has been a high-ranking family for many generations, with disciples and former officials all over the world, and now it is a descendant of the descendant family, with a lot of glory, if it involves the important weapons of the imperial court, it will definitely not be a blessing for the country.
I believe that because of Your Majesty’s wisdom and martial prowess, your Majesty’s relatives will never have exclusive power during your lifetime, but what about after Your Majesty? Can your Majesty guarantee that your descendants will be as powerful as your Majesty and can overwhelm your relatives?”
Huang Qishan's words were expressed with emotion and reason.
In fact, he said it very sincerely.
Consider for the descendants of the Yan Dynasty.
This is the fundamental regulation of the dynasty and is by no means aimed at the Han family.
Of course, in the eyes of ministers like Li Gang and Huang Qishan, the Han family is quite dangerous now.
Once a famous family that has been famous for hundreds of years comes back with the power of the queen, the disciples, former officials and various people who are attached to it will definitely form a huge interest group, directly threatening the rule of the dynasty.
The threat from the Han family is far greater than that of Wu Xun.
This mentality has become deeply ingrained in the minds of ministers like Li Gang in recent days.
They discussed it behind the scenes countless times.
Therefore, this time they enfeoffed the generals and heroes, and they resolutely took down Han Ting.
The children of foreign relatives can be given titles of nobility, honors, or even be raised by the state so that they can be prosperous and prosperous for the rest of their lives.
It is absolutely unacceptable to grant heavy authority.
Wang Lin originally wanted Han Ting to stay with him, to serve as counselor of the military aircraft department during the Northern Expedition, and to be one of the assistant ministers of the military aircraft department he intended to set up.
Li Gang knew that this was Wang Lin's special organization to strengthen the checks and balances of the imperial power. It was a temporary organization established for the purpose of opening up new territories and the emperor's personal expedition, but it would definitely be solidified into a permanent organization in the future.
Currently, the candidates who have been selected as ministers of the Military Aircraft Department include Zhang Jun, Ma Kuo, Liu Qi, Yue Fei, etc. Compared with the above-mentioned candidates, Han Ting's talents are not weak.
But he is the queen's brother.
The current pillar of the Han family's generation.
Wang Lin sighed: "Everyone, I will discuss with you whether we can allow Han Ting to join the post temporarily and then exempt him after the Northern Expedition?"
Huang Qishan swayed one arm and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if the uncle of the current dynasty continues to achieve military success, even your Majesty will definitely not be able to control him in the future. Besides, using it in times of crisis and abandoning it when it is successful is really not what a wise king would do.
I think it is inappropriate."
Wang Lin smiled bitterly: "Huang Xiang, talents are rare."
"Your Majesty, all the talents in the world are like the crucian carp crossing the river, they are all your Majesty's ministers.
I think that one more Han family son is not much, and one less Han family son is not much.
Even if your majesty uses the Han family to get temporary help, if you plan for the long term and plan for your family, country, and country, you will suffer more trouble than the help."
Wang Lin couldn't say a word.
He understood that no matter what he said, people like Li Gang would not let go.
At the deepest level, they are worried that Wang Lin will train Han Ting to join the political affairs hall in the future.
How can a foreign relative become a cabinet minister?
Wang Lin thought about it for a long time and decided to change the approach: "My dear gentlemen, since Han Ting is not allowed to join the military and is not allowed to serve as a heavy weapon, can you add a title to the title and serve me as an idle marquis?"
Wang Lin wanted to give Han Yan some face.
When he founded the country, he enfeoffed "his own people" and created a large number of princes and counts under his command. If the Han family was singled out, how would he face his first wife?
However, unexpectedly, Li Gang's reaction became even more intense: "Your Majesty founded the country and enfeoffed the generals, which has been the practice of all dynasties.
Hua Rong and other generals in the army accompanied His Majesty in the southern and northern wars, and made immortal military achievements for the imperial court. Therefore, even if Your Majesty entrusts a group of princes and titles, the ministers will think it is good, and the people of the world will be convinced.
But what great contribution did Han Jiazi make to the country?
How can he be sealed because he is a foreign relative? "
Wang Lin was refuted to be speechless.
Han Ting does have no military merit.
He went to the Marshal Mansion of the Great Yuan by Hanlin, and he was the arrangement of Wang Lin in itself, and the time was not too long.
Compared with Hua Rong and other Feng Gonghou, Han Tingfeng Hou does not have much persuasiveness.
Wang Lin quietly sat there, looking at several court ministers standing in front of him.
He sighed, and finally understood that being an emperor and a power minister is very different.
When he was King Yan, he could arrange his own hands, but after the emperor, he had to face a lot of scruples and consider the political factors in all aspects ... The throne of the emperor was actually quite boring.
Of course, this time he can use power forcibly suppressing and supporting Han Ting.
But as a result ... it will definitely be the team of government officials and the emperor.
Because from the perspective of the public, Li Gang has nothing wrong with them, and there is no selfishness.
And these people in front of you are really not easy.
Li Gangbai's head, the disease is entangled, and the physical strength is consumed without much vitality. Wu Min is almost the same.
Although Guo Zhishun is more slippery, it is not bad in diligence. Speaking, it is also a model for forgetting to die for work.
As for Huang Qishan, he is not afraid of life and death for the country, loyalty to the liver, the two sleeves and the breeze, and the festival of Qi, belong to Wen Tianxiang and other characters.
The newborn dynasty can have these talents, which is really his blessing.
Can Wang Lin run off with them?
Wang Lin originally wanted to say that there were good ons of the foreign relatives, such as Wei Qing in the Emperor Hanwu period, such as the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty, not all a generation of famous ministers?
But ... in history, there are many examples of foreign relatives.
Wang Lin was tired. He slowly got up and bowed to Li Gang and others.
He really respects the good ministers of these countries who do not have a little selfishness.
Li Gang and others were frightened, and quickly avoided the way.
Seeing that Xinjun's body was lonely, he was not high and depressed, and Li Gang looked at each other, and his heart was moved.
In fact, they know that the emperor is consciously embarrassed and cannot face the queen of the harem, but even so, he can still hear the persuasion, and hold his own selfishness. The purpose is naturally to maintain the authority of the court team.
This is respect for them.
From ancient times to the present, especially the monarchs with great power and power, and the monarchy, can do so, it is rare.
Guo Zhishun laughed bitterly: "His Majesty is really the ancient Mingjun, and I am so harshly for the persecution of the king?"
