Chapter 12 Rolling
This is the most famous Mingjun in history, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that he has always encouraged his ministers to give advice. He has been remonstrated by Wei Zheng many times. He repeatedly said that Wei Zheng did well and wanted to marry Wei Zheng as his son and daughter. It can be said that he is one emperor and one minister.
complement each other.
But what I never expected was that just a few days after Wei Zheng's death, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty broke off the engagement between his daughter and Wei Zheng's son, and then pulled down Wei Zheng's tombstone. The Wei family must have been quite desperate, and they were about to be rejected by the emperor.
Feel.
It can be seen from this incident that it is too difficult to be the emperor's ministers, and the so-called harmony between emperor and ministers feels too false. This was still the most tolerant Tang Dynasty, but in this dynasty, the relationship between emperors and ministers has become even more tense, especially today.
, he had been fighting with the chief minister for five years from the beginning, and he was even more unkind to his ministers.
There is simply no emperor today who is willing to accept advice from his ministers. He has not been in court for twenty years, and has completely stopped ministers from making suggestions at court meetings.
As for the memorials? The emperor did not have to read them. The powerful ministers could help deal with those memorials. The powerful ministers were happy to do so. They could take advantage of the opportunity of reviewing the memorials to deal with those that were not pleasing to the eye.
After writing down a basketful of small black accounts, the powerful officials started to beep in the emperor's ear. Anyway, whether it was the chief minister of the cabinet or other officials, the emperor could get rid of them if he didn't like them, and the scapegoat for the repeated deaths of the officials was naturally
It's the traitor who carries it.
Of course, the scapegoat carried by the traitor was not unjust at all. Many times, he was the one who added fuel to the emperor's ears, and when helping the emperor, he also sent away his opponents. How wonderful!
But the guilt of the powerful minister does not mean that the emperor has no responsibility. He knew clearly that the character of the powerful minister was not very good, but he still supported him and gave him more trust. Otherwise, would the powerful minister have the ability to eliminate his dissidents at will? No! This man
The emperor is not the kind of incompetent son-emperor. He has been living a willful life so far. He will not go to court if he can't say it.
Many ministers knew that powerful ministers were in power but still wanted to impeach them. Perhaps they always thought that the emperor was deceived and wanted the emperor to uphold justice. However, this idea was too naive. In fact, the emperor did not care about the impeachment of powerful ministers at all.
, so those ministers entered the Jinyi Guards one by one and suffered torture.
Naturally, Ling Xiao would not think that the emperor was deceived. How could an emperor who had kept the entire court running for twenty years be deceived so easily? People in later generations said that Jin Shang originally had the potential to become a wise emperor, but he eventually became the leader of this dynasty.
One of the most bizarre emperors.
I still remember that there were often weird emperors in this dynasty, including the emperor who loved to be a carpenter, the Zhengde emperor who made dragons and phoenixes make auspicious things, and the emperor who fell in love with a concubine who was more than ten years older than him. Of course, he is also a member of the dynasty today.
One of the weird emperors.
She was too lazy to care about those things. If she pretended to be weird, it might cause more people to suffer. At the same time, Ling Xiao didn't have the idea of changing the world, because this body was that of a very young girl. If she knew Ling Xiao
If you plan to kill that emperor and become a wanted criminal if you do anything wrong, then that won't scare the original owner to death?
Now I don’t know if the original owner can be dug out of the mud pit of three obediences and four virtues, and he is still thinking about regicide? You don’t need to ask to know that this is not possible. If the original owner comes back, he will be frightened to death or crazy.
Forget it! Kill the emperor just for a moment of anger, thinking that good times will come for the people of the world? How is it possible! No! The new emperor who is waiting to come to power comes out to see the governance situation, and the governance of this emperor is similar to that of this emperor.
.
Why do you say this? This is because the overall environment has not changed, the bureaucracy is very solidified, and many officials are grouping together to keep warm. The party-to-party unity and opposition to differences that began in the Song Dynasty have become even more powerful in this dynasty.
For the benefit of their small groups, officials are also intrigues among themselves, and they can unscrupulously use false accusations and other means to bring down an official who stands in the way. It can be said that officials who truly make decisions for the people are often lonely ministers.
This kind of person will not get a good end, because every small team will treat that kind of person as a stumbling block and kick them out when they find an opportunity. This kind of person finds it difficult in all aspects and is punished for blocking the way of others.
Calculation.
Don't have a clear conscience for saying something you haven't done before, because the other party can bribe people. If one person can't say it well, it can be accepted, but if two or three people can't say it well, I'm afraid it will be really bad in the eyes of others.
.
In the eyes of many people who want to be officials, entering an official career is not about upholding justice for the people, nor is it about making the general public live a good life, but more about being able to live a good life for yourself.
Although Confucian disciples are required to cultivate virtue, not many can really persist. I think back then, powerful officials also had great ambitions to do something great, but in the end they became powerful officials who exploited others.
Hey! There are many times when I still remember my ideals when I start studying. For example: Zhang Zai, a Confucian disciple of the Northern Song Dynasty, said in his book: establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations. This
A few words can be regarded as the pursuit of a true Confucian disciple.
But how many Confucian disciples can do these things? Not many. Even if there are people with lofty ideals who want to do a career, that is, those lonely ministers who ask for orders for the people, they will be busy dealing with the frame-ups of their opponents, otherwise they will not be able to do anything.
The end of death is really sad!
In addition to Confucian students who work hard to apply what they have learned, there are also Confucian disciples who are like the scholars in Huang Liang's dream, thinking only about how to get promoted quickly after passing the exam, how to make a fortune, how to become a high-ranking official, waiting for them
After becoming powerful, they take all the beauties they have fallen in love with into their own hands. In fact, most of the scholars also have this idea. There is no such thing as enduring hardships and making decisions for the people.
What can Ling Xiao do after seeing through this? No! There is nothing wrong with everyone wanting to live a better life, but those who only care about themselves cannot do it. Even if they change the emperor, it will be useless.
This is because the overall quality of people in the entire society is not high. Even the most knowledgeable literati in the capital are mostly the kind of people who cheat people without paying for their lives. They will just throw them away after they are used up. She will not think about how to get on.
At the peak of his life, he decided to stay away from the capital.
Maybe some people think that having a puppet in Ling Xiao's hand means he has a trump card, haha! The puppet's force value has been suppressed to a very low level, which is the force value of a martial arts master. It is still possible to protect Ling Xiao, but it cannot be protected anymore.
There were many people, and Ling Xiao decided not to get involved in the issue of imperial power.
First of all, she was not interested. There is a saying that goes well: It is better to be a peace dog than to cause chaos and leave people. I still remember that in those troubled times, white bones may appear wherever you go, and people cannibalize people in many places.
Tragic situation.
Secondly, this body belongs to the original owner, and she will definitely return to this body, which means that at a certain point in time, this body will be returned to the original owner, and the original owner does not have the ability to face unknown situations.
Even if Ling Xiao's self-confidence is so high that she simply uses force to conquer the world, and even gives the original owner an emperor's throne to sit on, she can't sit firmly at all. Will there be a good end for those who can't sit firmly in their position?
No! Even if she was as powerful as Empress Wu Zetian, who was unhappy after being kicked off the throne of the emperor, and later died very uncomfortable, this was still her biological son, and her son did not want to treat her lightly, but she still
Feeling unhappy at the end of life.
Hey! There are also situations where the son doesn't care about the whole situation after his father's death and wants to seize power. For example, Xiaobai, Duke Huan of Qi among the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, was so high-spirited that he became the first hegemon.
The final outcome is that after Xiaobai fell ill, his sons were very busy. In order to take control of the family property as soon as possible, they sealed Xiaobai, who was still alive, in a yard. He eventually starved to death, and no one took care of his stinky body.
It wasn't until the battle for the throne was over that there was a chance to bury Xiaobai.
It can be said that Ling Xiao is not interested in the throne at all. Of course, she will not join a certain camp, not to mention the original owner. She does not have that potential at all. In addition, Ling Xiao feels that living in the previous world is too tiring, and this world allows her
Salted fish.
She lived quietly in the capital. Sometimes she would go to eat some delicious food, look at the beauty of autumn and winter, and then draw it. After all, this opportunity was rare, and it was the authentic ancient times.
When spring came and they were ready to leave, the neighbors all knew that the grandfather and grandson in the small courtyard were leaving the capital. As for the Taoist priest's son, he still hadn't found him, so the Taoist priest decided not to look for him.
It said that his son might have returned home, so he should not stay in the capital. Everyone agreed with this statement and sincerely hoped that both his grandfather and grandson would have a safe journey.
They are somewhat reluctant to leave Daochang Zhou, because with Daochang Zhou around, people in the alley who have a headache or fever can go to Daochang Zhou for a look. Daochang Zhou’s prescriptions are folk remedies, and most of the materials used in them are worthless medicinal materials, but they are still very effective.
This can save everyone a lot of money. Of course, serious illnesses are not treated. Who knows if there is any backstage in the capital? Ling Xiao doesn't want to go to jail just like that.
Anyway, the setting that the Taoist Master only knows a few folk remedies is very useful. It can maintain the neighborhood well, and you don’t have to be attracted by that powerful person because of your particularly good skills and want to recruit him to become a live-in doctor of a certain family.
It's like a family doctor.
Don't think that family doctors in official families are very good at their jobs. In official families, they have a higher status than servants. People who think they have a high status will not take the doctor seriously.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, doctors are workers, and they are not valued at all. So to be a so-called family doctor, you have to live a humble life. How can you live this life? Ling Xiao has no intention of living in the capital. There are too many frustrations here.
So where to go?
Wait! A thought suddenly popped up in Ling Xiao's mind. She was still living an easy life now. After leaving the capital, she could say that the sea and the sky were vast, and she didn't have any special place to go.
So now that she has more free time, she can go and see Gungun. Her eyes lit up when she thought of this. She remembered that Gungun has several subspecies: Qinling, Sichuan, and Gansu.
They are said to be Chi You's mounts and they look cute and naive, but as a type of bear, no matter how naive and well-behaved they are, they still have the bite power of a bear and powerful explosive power, making them powerful beasts.
The reason why they are alive is because they live in high mountains and dense forests, and ordinary people cannot see them. At this time, they are all wild, so why don't she take a look?
Thinking of this, she also knew a question, whether her arrival would disturb them, but she knew one thing in her heart, she would never disturb them easily. If she liked it, it did not mean that she had to keep them by her side.
She absolutely can't do this. After all, Gungun's charm is too great. The small one has been liked by most people. I can't wait for everyone to try it out and see how it feels. I really like it so much.
But sometimes they like animals that are fatal to wild animals. What if because everyone likes them so much, will the nobles also want to raise one? The rarer they are, the rarer they are. Will everyone want to raise one?
?
As soon as he thought of this, Ling Xiao completely gave up the idea of keeping a Gungun by his side. Now he had no idea of protecting animals. The kind of beautiful and rare things that were worth money would be treated in a destructive way.
Never let these cute animals get into trouble just for your own quick pleasure. Hey! I really want to see them. Let these naive animals grow slowly! Let future generations see how naive they are.
It's a blessing to be able to see them directly.
With this idea in mind, she set out on the road. Because she liked Gungun, she checked the information before and headed for the Qinling Mountains. If you want to know that the giant pandas in Shaanxi are known as the most beautiful among pandas, go to Shaanxi first.
Ling Xiao was going to go into the mountainous area accompanied by the puppet. First, he went to look for the bamboo that pandas love to eat most. There are many types of bamboo, but Gungun does not eat all kinds of bamboo. Mainly, more than 60 varieties such as arrow bamboo are part of the panda diet.
As staple food, Gungun occasionally eats some other plants and sometimes meat.
If you want to find pandas, you must first find the bamboo they love to eat. Ling Xiao went up the mountain with a bit of curiosity. When he saw the mountains and rivers, it was so good that he wanted to look up to the sky and scream: "Go! I'm coming."
Already.
However, as a traveler who has lived in many worlds, she has a strong psychological strength, so naturally she quickly suppressed this unspeakable excitement. After all, she had seen Gungun before, but she had not directly faced this wild Gungun.
I get very excited when I think of this, ah! It’s really great.
She prepared special equipment when she entered the mountainous area, and also told her to be careful of venomous snakes and bugs when going up the mountain. Ling Xiao understood it as soon as she heard it. Fortunately, she had prepared special clothes for the world ahead.
