Chapter 240: The lord sits and talks, no need to be polite.(1/3)
Chu Heng stood up and said: "The Taifu is the hope of the country and the master of reform. Now, my Qing clan's reform has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the spring breeze has turned into rain. The people are like a child to the Taifu."
"However, we all know only a little about the way of governing, and we all rely on the Taifu to guide us and coordinate everything. We haven't seen the Taifu for several months, and we are at a loss."
The reform officials all nodded.
This series of major reforms is easy to say, but in fact, it is extremely difficult to implement.
In the final analysis, it means clearing out priorities, ordering the priorities, and administering policies appropriately and just right.
Jiang Yao straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "Only a virtuous person can conquer others with mercy, and the next best thing is to be fierce. I use Confucianism and Taoism to teach people's hearts, and use legal systems to protect humanity. The legal system is Confucianism, and the balance between tolerance and fierceness is
Zhenghe."
"If the government is lenient, the people will be slow, and if they are corrected, they will be violent; if the government is fierce, the people will be crippled, so they will be lenient; if lenient, they will help the fierce, and if they are fierce, they will be lenient. This is how yin and yang complement each other, and the government is harmonious and harmonious."
Another courtier stood up and said: "Taifu's words are really shocking. We have benefited a lot. But I dare to ask Taifu, how should we know the leniency and strength? Observe the gains and losses? Understand the yin and yang?"
It means how to diagnose political health, how to know whether tolerance and strength complement each other, and whether yin and yang are in harmony.
This is an issue at the operational level, belonging to methodology rather than guiding ideology.
Reform officials are very concerned about this issue.
The Qing clan court system has been very complete and has become the source of reform for the entire Zhenjie. However, it is only relatively complete at the level of functional institutions and legal systems, but in terms of management operations, it is very extensive, very immature, and very primitive.
Reform officials, from the imperial court to local governments, all took the "Da Qing Simplified Code" and "Four Books and Five Classics" and followed the guidance of Jiang Yao's quotations to learn to be officials and manage politics.
For this reason, someone specially compiled "Jiang Gong's Quotations" as a guiding method for officials and governance.
Jiang Yao spoke eloquently: "The first thing is wisdom, and the second thing is fairness. Wisdom and fairness will lead to success. Therefore, the word "zhi Gong" is the tool of governance."
"Let's talk about wisdom first. A wise person understands, and a wise person knows. Since ancient times, gains and losses have always been caused by this."
"There are eight types of wisdom. The wisdom of many is the only wisdom; the right wisdom is the cunning wisdom; the great wisdom is the small wisdom; the superior wisdom is the inferior wisdom."
"These are the Eight Wisdoms, you have to observe them! Knowing the changes of the Eight Wisdoms is enlightenment!"
After everyone heard the words, they all thought deeply and gained something.
"A wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot, and a fool will gain something after a lot of thinking. Therefore, the wisdom of one person is not as good as the wisdom of everyone. It is better to gather wisdom and consider what is good, and it is not suitable to be stubborn and arbitrary."
"Right wisdom does not know cunning, but righteous wisdom turns out to be cunning, and wisdom is trapped; great wisdom does not know small things, but great wisdom is deceived by small wisdom! Therefore, as officials, you must know, you must be able to break through their cunning and recognize their small wisdom!"
What Taifu said was really good. Although they understood these principles, they had never summarized them in this way before.
"The people below have the wisdom of the superior, and the people of the superior have the wisdom of the inferior."
"Wisdom is not limited to change, so wisdom is valuable in change."
"So, how to increase wisdom? That is to apply what you have learned..."
Jiang Yao spoke eloquently, telling officials that you must have a higher level of wisdom to discover problems, big or small, know the truth of the matter, and diagnose whether the governance is correct, so that you will not be deceived.
Whether you want to be a good minister or a good county governor, you need to be "clear".
Once you have wisdom and understanding, you must also be fair!
Regarding the public, it means serving the public, which is the virtue of an official.
No matter which yamen you manage, if you are wise and public-spirited, then there will be no problem.
"...The public mind is particularly important, and the public mind is always present. Naturally, one has a clear heart and one's nature, and one has profound wisdom... Those who are officials hold authority in various aspects. Do not do evil because it is small, and do not do good because it is small..."
The reform officials present here couldn't help but nod their heads after hearing this. They felt that the Taifu's words were very reasonable and deeply inspiring.
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly said: "You are good, don't do evil things because they are small, and don't do good things because they are small! Taifu's discussion of politics is really beneficial."
While he was talking, a graceful man in the late Wuzhen period strode into the palace.
It turned out to be the current Prime Minister: Lan Sheng!
"Prime Minister!" The Blue Party officials stood up together and saluted Lan Sheng respectfully.
But none of the Jiang Party members moved, and all of them had sneers on their faces.
Jiang Yao nodded loudly, "The Prime Minister is here, what do you mean?"
Lan Sheng sneered and said: "The Taifu may have forgotten that today is the day of my Da Qing Chang Dynasty. But there is no one in the court hall of the Jun's Mansion. They are all at the Taifu's Mansion."
"So, in order to go to court, I have no choice but to come to Taifu's Mansion."
Chen Tao, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said: "The Prime Minister's words are wrong. Since the court is scheduled to be held today, why doesn't the Prime Minister summon all the officials to attend the court?"
"The Prime Minister hasn't summoned us, so we can't enter the palace directly."
Lan Sheng didn't even look at these Jiang Gang, but looked directly at Jiang Yao: "Master, the Shenzhou Camp sent an order to the world, and each martial arts clan sent half of their elite soldiers to join the Shenzhou Camp."
"The troops and horses of the martial arts clans in the Western Regions have been mobilized. The Western Region Branch of the Shenzhou Camp is located in Lingqiu, a million miles away. However, the martial arts clans in the Qiunan area are under the pressure of Daqing, and they cannot
Dare to mobilize elite soldiers."
"I would like to ask Taifu whether the soldiers and horses are firing or not? They are all looking at us."
Jiang Yao couldn't help but smile. This Lan Sheng was really not simple, he was actually waiting for him here.
Yes, it's a good plan.
During this period of time, Lan Sheng probably colluded with other martial arts clans for this matter.
Jiang Yao shook his head and said: "What the Prime Minister said, I really don't understand. The Shenzhou camp wants all the martial arts clans to mobilize elite soldiers, so what does it have to do with Gu? Gu is just a Taifu, and he is not the governor of the internal and external military forces. Daqing soldiers and horses are mobilized
If not, the prime minister should ask the lord, not the orphan."
Lan Sheng laughed: "Originally, I shouldn't have come to ask Taifu. But my lord has been in seclusion and can't see me. I can't mobilize any of the soldiers and horses. If I don't come to Taifu, who should I look for?"
"The surrounding military lords have said that if the Qing Army does not mobilize elite soldiers, they will not dare to do so. Only if Da Qing first mobilizes soldiers and horses to join the Western Region Branch Camp, will they dare to do so."
"Tell me the truth, Grand Master, now in the entire Western Region, only the eighteen martial clans in Qiunan have not sent troops. If we don't send troops anymore and miss the deadline, the Supreme Command will know about it. What will be the consequences then?"
When the reform officials heard this, they looked very ugly.
This move is simply a conspiracy.
If the Qing Clan does not mobilize soldiers and horses to join the Western Region Branch of the Shenzhou Camp, then all the martial arts clans in Qiunan will use the threat of the Qing Clan not to mobilize elite soldiers to join the Western Region Branch.
Once the final date for dispatching troops is missed, the area south of Xiaoxiaoqiu will immediately come into the sight of the Supreme Command.
So, even a mere Jiangyao reform will attract the attention of the big shots in the Central Region. What will be the consequences?
However, if the Qing Clan is ordered to mobilize elite troops to join the Western Region branch camp, then the number of troops to protect the reform will be greatly reduced, and the Qing Clan will be passive militarily.
Lan Sheng took this opportunity and severely defeated Jiang Yao's army.
However, what Lan Sheng didn't know was that Jiang Yao was not afraid of being known by the big shots in the Central Region.
Uncle Cheap has already known it, and Yu Yan has already known it. With these two people around, even the big shots in the Central Region who want to deal with the little green clan in the corner will be stopped by these two people.
At least within a few years, before the Qing clan expands, Uncle Xiang and Yu Kuan can absolutely guarantee that he will not be interfered by the big shots in the Central Region.
As for the Western Regions, the strongest leader of the Jin Clan is Xi Sheng, and Xi Sheng will never stand on the side of the Wu Clan. The biggest enemy of the Tianping Divine Religion is the nobles of the Wu family, not his little Jiang Yao.
Xi Sheng may have wished that he could make a big fuss and cause more trouble to the nobles of the Wu family.
As for the three clans of Zhao, Wei and Yuan that are most likely to interfere with him, now under the pressure of the Biluo tribe's millions of troops, they can't even care about the distant Qing clan.
How about the Qin clan in the Qiunan area, who can temporarily control the Qing clan with the Martial Saint in charge?
As for the Western Region Branch of the Shenzhou Camp, which is millions of miles away, it has more than 10,000 troops, and its strength has already matched that of the Anti-Demon Camp. It is indeed very powerful.
However, the Western Region branch has no independent command authority and can only be mobilized by the Supreme Command. There is no order from the big figures in the Central Region. The Western Region branch has no authority to mobilize soldiers. How can it deal with the Qing clan millions of miles away?
Mu Yue has told himself to rest assured for the time being. His uncle will take care of him secretly and not arouse the anger of the ancients. Yu Kuan will also pay attention. Although she does not agree with his reform, she will not ignore her own safety.
Within a few years, there won’t be much interference.
It's a pity, how could Lan Sheng know about these all-powerful things?
Lan Sheng looked at Jiang Yao with some pride. He wanted to see the helplessness and bitterness on Jiang Yao's face.
However, it didn't.
Jiang Yao smiled slightly, "Since the lord has been in seclusion, I won't bother you. We don't have military power, so let's wait until the lord comes out of seclusion.
Lan Sheng looked at Jiang Yao as if he were a fool: "What the Master is saying is that I, Daqing, will not send troops and openly disobey the military orders of the Supreme Command, and then attract the attention of the Supreme Command?"
Jiang Yao shook his head: "Gu doesn't mean that. I don't object to sending troops. The problem is, Gu is just a tutor now and has no military power, so what can he do?"
Lan Sheng sneered: "Okay, I understand. Taifu is going to lead Daqing to brazenly fight against the Shenzhou camp and put Daqing in a place of eternal destruction."
"Don't forget, Grand Tutor, although Da Qing has changed the law, he didn't say that he is not a martial arts clan! Since he is still a martial arts clan, how can he disobey the military orders of the Supreme Command! Does Tai Fu want to kill everyone!"
He pointed at the Jiang Party officials in the hall: "Do you know what you are doing? I tell you, you are seeking death! You want to destroy Daqing and your reform!"
"If you don't want the reform to end and Daqing to perish, then persuade the Taifu to send troops!"
Feng Ke, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said, "Prime Minister Lan, the Taifu has made it very clear that the military power of Daqing is in the hands of the king, not in the hands of the Taifu. Is it the Taifu's decision to deploy elite troops?"
Lan Sheng's face turned pale with anger, "Only the master can see the lord! Is it easy to bully me?"
He snorted coldly, "I have already explained the interests and dangers. As for whether the Taifu should persuade the lord to send troops, that is the Taifu's business."
"If I, Daqing, disobey the military orders of the Shenzhou camp, refuse to send troops to serve, and are attacked and destroyed, what will happen to you? I have said this and benevolent and righteous. Master, please think about it carefully."
After saying that, Lan Sheng left angrily.
