The fifty-fifth chapter of the role of the emperor
"Now you know how to demand equality?" Yun Ye murmured to himself as he lay on the recliner and looked at the blooming winter jasmine flowers in the corner. Through the flower window, a lush bamboo forest grew. Lying here, he looked at the flower window on the white wall.
It is a beautiful golden bamboo picture.
This is the element of architecture. A simple courtyard was transformed into a picture with a few changes by the original owner. The aesthetic vision of the Tang Dynasty people is full of poetry, unlike those in the West who are now working hard to build magnificent palaces.
When the sun shines on it, it looks like a golden mountain. Doesn't this kind of building tell others that I am rich and come here to rob it?
The literati of the Tang Dynasty were elegant, but the warriors of the Tang Dynasty were extremely rough. They were gradually moving towards two levels. This is what Yun Ye wanted to see. The role of the literati was to educate, while the role of the warriors was to conquer.
Literary men should look kind and amiable. Military generals should look fierce. People who can scare children into tears are the most suitable warriors.
After Yuan Jia accepted the local control power, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work. During this period, he met Yun Zheng twice. Each time, he smiled and looked like he had pearls of wisdom in his hand.
Yun Ye didn't care about him. A smart person like him would definitely figure out the trick. Which group of people in the world are the most eager for equality? There is only one answer, and that is businessmen!
The old farmer now feels that his life is very good. As long as he plants food in the fields, he will be able to harvest it in the fall. The current taxes from the court are so low that it is almost imperceptible. As for the corvee, you can now use money to replace it. There is nothing wrong with such a life.
It’s easy to complain. If the children and grandchildren of the family continue to complain at this time, their legs will be broken by the old farmers squatting on the edge of the fields to watch the crops. Any ambitious ideas will be branded as not doing their job properly.
The workers feel that their life is not bad. As long as they work, they will get paid. I have never heard of anyone who worked but did not get paid. As long as this is satisfied, they will just work without any desire. Who has time to think about it?
Something else?
Businessmen are actually a group of people who start to demand a new life after eating and drinking. Although they have money in their pockets, when you go to a brothel, famous prostitutes would rather entertain those poor students than lie in their arms and act coquettishly.
, something is wrong, why? The reason why you have the consciousness of power is because your desires are not satisfied.
He Shao! This guy is now so fat that he can no longer walk. Yun Ye is very curious about how he survives until now? He lies on the big bed all day like a mountain of flesh.
He hasn't come to Yun's house in the past few years. It's not that he doesn't want to come, but because Yun Ye doesn't agree to remove his door to let his big bed in, and Yun Ye, who has a mysophobia, saw a large pile of compost oil on the bed.
Talking to himself and not being able to eat slivers of meat for several days was a torture for him. So Yun Ye would always go to him if something happened.
The farmer is well off. The worker does not feel that anyone is squeezing his surplus value. As long as the wages are right, he will accept this squeeze. Therefore, neither of these two types of people can help Yuan Jia. The only people who can help him are businessmen.
, that is a group with great wealth and power, and they have been fighting for their rights for more than a day or two. When Emperor Taizong was here, he had already fought a turnaround, that is, the battle of "Business Law", which made Changsun Wuji
It was during this battle that the ruling class accepted merchants into the upper class.
There is no problem for a merchant to publish Yuan Jia's "Min Lun". Everyone will think that it is not a big deal if the merchant is trying to win allies for him. There are many things like pulling tiger skins and raising banners in the court. Such an additional thing is really not a big deal.
.
If you bring this matter up yourself, haha, the Tang Dynasty will be lively, and the eldest grandson will come to Yun's house and cry and curse himself for having no conscience, so let's leave this matter to the businessman to complete it.
With Yuan Jia's wisdom, it should be easy to seduce He Shao, who is full of utilitarianism. Yun Ye has great confidence in Yuan Jia. Businessmen have always complained to the court in a haphazard way, but now they have a programmatic
The manuscript must be a treasure. They do not think that farmers and workers can be compared with noble businessmen, so it is very good to drag them over to be allies now.
Just when Yun Ye was busy racing, Changsun was helping Emperor Li Jue analyze Yun Ye's memorial word for word. This memorial was specially picked out by Changsun and used as a model essay to explain to the emperor.
"Emperor, without looking at the content, as long as you look at the number of words, you should know that this memorial was written by the Duke of Chu with great effort, and it was also a memorial in his own hand. This is very rare. He used to give memorials to your grandfather and father.
, but there are not so many words. The reason why I write so many words is because I am worried that you will misunderstand him, so I deliberately explain everything clearly. As you get older, his memorial will gradually change.
Be concise and concise.
Look at this passage. He is explaining the reason why Li Xiang must be sentenced to death for not following your will. There is a saying in it, that is, heavy codes are used in troubled times!
Your grandpa is most worried about burying corpses and ignoring each other. Your father also has this worry. Yun Ye is a veteran of Sanchao and is very familiar with the thoughts of Taizong and your father. As your father's friend, he wants to
He helped you remove obstacles and eliminate hidden dangers in Datang as soon as possible, so he did nothing wrong in this matter...
The second thing in the memorial is about how Li Xiang tortured the people of Hengyang. Here are a total of eleven of his major crimes. There are explanations behind each major crime. This is to ask you to send the capital water prison to confirm
Yes, ordinary ministers will not say this. Only the Duke of Chu will list them one by one and ask for verification. This is telling you how to identify the authenticity of something. The saying of listening to both will reveal the truth and believe in secret. This is what it means.
reason.
Because of these crimes, even if the King of Hengshan returns to Chang'an, he will not escape death. Chu Gong did this in Hengyang because he did not want your hands to be stained with the blood of his brothers. A minister can say that if he does this,
You are loyal, but this loyalty is not for you. It is the legacy left by your imperial grandfather and father. You cannot control a courtier like Yun Ye...
After the campaign, the Ministry of Punishment needs to go to hold people accountable, the Ministry of Civil Affairs to appease the people, the army begins to return to the barracks, and the generals prepare to return to the capital. This is a standard process. Generals who have been ordered to go on expeditions since ancient times must follow this, without exception!
If a general is unwilling to do this in the future, show him the memorial from Duke Chu. If he still refuses, be prepared to be surrounded and suppressed by the army...
Li Jue was very obedient and was discussing with his eldest grandson. Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask the Empress Dowager for advice... There seemed to be a very warm and harmonious relationship between grandson and grandson.
Li Jue carefully wrote a red letter on Yun Ye's memorial. There was no comment, only a large accurate word, which meant that Yun Ye killed Li Xiang and gained the emperor's approval.
After the Empress Dowager left, Li Jue waved to the eunuch in front of the palace and asked in a low voice: "Did the Duke of Chu write this memorial in his own hand? How long did it take to write it? Was it Duan Hong or Duan Hong who was summoned first?
you?"
The eunuch knelt on the ground and whispered: "Your Majesty, this memorial was indeed written by the Duke of Chu. The ink used to write this memorial was all served by the servants. It was written from sunset to the moonrise, for two whole days."
Hours, during which Duke Chu stopped writing many times, seeming very sad.
The maidservant and Eunuch Duanhong were waiting to be summoned outside the military tent at the same time. The maidservant was summoned by Duke Chu first, and when the maidservant left with the memorial, Eunuch Duanhong was still waiting outside the tent."
The little emperor was very satisfied. In his opinion, the general respected him very much as the emperor. He did not ignore his existence just because the empress dowager was now supervising the country. Although the child's mind was simple, once he had an evil thought
After doing something wrong, it would be very difficult to correct it in the future. Therefore, Yun Ye seemed to pay more attention to the little emperor. He did not want to cause unnecessary trouble to himself ten years later.
Under the same sky, Yun Ye was admiring the layout of the small courtyard and taking a break for his brain. The eldest grandson was teaching his little grandson. The eldest grandson stood on a high building and looked down at the bustling Chang'an City below and the ships entering and exiting the water gate of Chang'an.
As if it never stops, the setting sun sets on Chang'an City, and the entire imperial capital seems to be dyed with a layer of gold. Although this world is good, it does not belong to the Changsun family after all.
The reason why people are called people is because everyone has different ideas and can use their own reason to resist the evil thoughts in their hearts. I may be the most incompetent official in history! Changsun Chong thought to himself.
One hundred and eight street cleaning drums began to sound. This rule has never changed from the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present. Only people have changed. The city of Chang'an is still lively, and the east and west cities for business are still bustling with people. Chang'an
As the most prosperous political center in the city, commerce is still prosperous, and the annual tax revenue still accounts for a very important proportion of the Tang Dynasty's tax revenue. Therefore, in response to the strong voice of the people, the government began to turn a blind eye and clean up the streets.
Still knocking, the business below is still going on, and the hyena-like Wu Hou will only appear on the street after midnight, either to blackmail pedestrians returning late, or to find a few drunken drunkards from a corner.
The lights in Zhongshu Province were brightly lit, and the lights in Menxia Province were not extinguished all night, as were the six departments, because the government affairs delayed by the late emperor's funeral were being handled bit by bit.
After a few months of this kind of life, people suddenly discovered that even in the Tang Dynasty, even without an emperor, the entire country was still running very smoothly. The existence of the little emperor was more like a symbol. What was really important was that these government offices were still running powerfully.
, as long as they are around, the empire will continue to move forward...
