Wei Zheng gave Yun Ye a thorough lesson in the feudal monarch-minister relationship. It turns out that the emperor and ministers have always been opposed. It turns out that the role of ministers is to dilute the emperor's authority. It turns out that ministers and emperors are interdependent and opposed to each other.
Two classes who look after each other and eventually kill each other.
"I don't think about myself, and there is no need to think about myself. When I am alive, I will be a high-ranking official and ride a horse. But after I die, I will be beaten to ashes by His Majesty. Boy, that's it, Shandong, Hebei
, these two places are not wholeheartedly interested in the imperial court. The reason is that His Majesty the King of Qin killed too many people in these two places. Almost every family had people who died at the hands of the King of Qin. Therefore, that place is always His Majesty's heart.
, I rode alone to Shandong, and it took a lot of effort to persuade the wealthy families in Shandong to stay safe. However, for the sake of fame, His Majesty offended all the wealthy families in Shandong with just one "Chronicle".
The "Clan Chronicle" written by Gao Shilian regarded the wealthy Cui Wenqian as the first clan, and reduced his Majesty's Guanlong Li family to the third class. I wonder how stupid Gao Shilian must be to do such a thing. Sure enough, your Majesty was furious
, let Changsun Wuji re-formulate it. Boy, it happened that you destroyed the Dou family at this time, so Your Majesty took out the "Clan Chronicle" that Changsun Wuji had already prepared and revised it again, and it became what it is now.
appearance.
I'm not talking about you. There are only four men in your Yun family, including your illegitimate son. Such a family is actually classified as third class. Do you think the clan ranking is done arbitrarily like this?
That is to test the eighteenth generation of ancestors. People in your Yun family tree are too embarrassed to count up. They disappear after counting to the ninth generation. Four of these nine generations are tenant farmers, so they simply
You write it as the ancestor. Your status as master will be inherited by you, so that you can step aside a little bit.
Have you noticed that His Majesty's authority is getting stronger and stronger, do you hate it if you are the Sima of the Five Lis? They even want to check this chapter that I have approved. If we hadn't tried our best to advise His Majesty, the authority of the Sima of the Five Lis would have been even heavier.
How did you do as the governor of Yuezhou? I know you enjoyed it very much, because you were originally a person with no ambitions. God is blind. You are a gangster with no ambitions, but you are full of literary, Taoist and military strategies.
It's all a lot of thought and effort. One credit goes to the left, the other to the right, and it's a joy to do.
It doesn't matter if you have no ambitions and are full of strategy, but you are a human spirit. Who in the whole court can't see that you are a queen and a filial mother. These are harmless things. You have been lonely since you were a child. You followed a god-like master and met you.
The empress taught you that it is normal to have this kind of emotion. It is a virtue. Once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. This principle also makes sense. You and the royal family are as close as one family. That is your destiny. No one said anything.
.
But what are you doing about Shandong Fengchan? Does that have anything to do with you? Do you still think His Majesty’s authority is not strong enough? You misinterpreted my words and made me speechless. Compared with Taishan, if you just praise Fengchan, I will definitely not
If you can't stop me, can't you see the butcher's knife hidden in His Majesty's sleeve?
Your Majesty is Emperor Wu. What do you believe in most in your heart? It is power and force. That is why our court has the Xuanwu Gate Incident. The imprisoned father kills the brother, kills the brother and rapes the wife, and rapes the sister-in-law. These things are not proved.
Is he obsessed with violence?
Baiqisi was born in Tiance Mansion. Do you know what he has done in these years? The governor of Liangzhou criticized His Majesty in private. When the man Baiqisi was hiding in his house as a groom came forward, Liangzhou
The governor was so frightened that he poisoned his entire family overnight and hanged himself in the courtroom.
Boy, of course you are not afraid of Baiqisi. In Yuezhou, Baiqisi was treated like a dog. No one dared to say no and tampered with the decree at will. His Majesty laughed it off. Boy, you are the only marquis in Zhenguan Dynasty.
It's the most comfortable.
Li Jing's contribution is greater than yours, right? What is he doing? He closes the door and drinks alone, not even going to his brother Li Baiyao's house. As the Prime Minister, Fang Xuanling, His Majesty insists on rewarding him with the maid, so he dares to either
?If you want it, you will plant nails around yourself. How can you live your life? Mrs. Fang, desperate to damage her reputation, drank the bowl of vinegar desperately. Boy, think about it, His Majesty said it was a bowl of poison.
Who would think that was vinegar?
Why does Mrs. Fang drink? Because if she doesn’t drink, people from Baiqisi will come into the family, just like a wolf comes into the sheepfold. From now on, if you are not careful, your family will be destroyed. If you drink hard, you can make money for Lao Fang.
Who knows that after coming home to a clean home, the couple hugged each other and cried?
Du Ruhui was almost doomed last time because of a small problem of yours. If Zhang Liang hadn't jumped out on his own, Lao Du's life would have been very miserable.
Mencius told King Xuan of Qi: "If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his belly and heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit.
"
Mr. Guo Huai said to King Yan Zhao on the golden platform: "The emperor is with his master, the king is with his friends, the tyrant is with his ministers, the country is subjugated with the servants.
These two people were both sages from ancient times, and the theories they summarized are still worthy of our imitation today. Yun Ye, after all, you are a courtier, not a royal family. Even if you are the Prince Consort, you are not a royal family.
I have never heard that people who deviate from their own position can live a carefree life. You have an idle temperament. What's wrong with going to the academy to teach, just like a wandering cloud and a wild crane? Slowly wait for your children to grow up, and then spread their branches and leaves.
A big family has been formed. Why get involved in the disputes in the court? After the death of the Lu family man, weren't you depressed for a long time? If you don't want to see dead people, then don't push them to death.
."
Wei Zheng spoke a lot incessantly, very straightforwardly, without any mincing words. He didn't even mean to be a taboo for the Venerable. He just used his poisonous tongue nakedly, and Li Er didn't do it.
The known side of him was completely exposed in front of Yun Ye.
Yun Ye was so surprised that he had forgotten to eat the beans. He blinked and watched the endless words pouring out from Wei Zheng's thick beard. He simply didn't know what attitude he should use to respond, whether he should express anger or agreement.
Wei Zheng is right when he says that the emperor's power cannot be infinite, otherwise it will be easy for people to have such annoying things as gods.
He said that he would be beaten to ashes after his death. Yun Ye could tell him now that he was right. Although he was not beaten to ashes, what was the difference between whipping a corpse and having his bones beaten to ashes? He opened his mouth twice.
Speechless.
"Are you surprised? I also have such a casual day? This is to tell you the fact that His Majesty is indeed an excellent emperor, but there is a tiger hidden in his heart, a tiger that can pounce out and eat people at any time. We need to
What you have to do is to put shackles on this tiger to prevent it from jumping out and hurting people. You are a person who values love and justice. I don’t want you to participate. You just have to stand by and watch. Lu Dongzan went back to Tibet to move reinforcements, waiting for him
You two are still going to compete when you come back, so why don't you get involved in other things less?"
"No, at least not with the Queen. You are right. Your Majesty, the Queen treats me like a nephew. She is willing to help me deal with big loopholes. If you and Your Majesty fight, everyone needs to choose sides. I
Of course, on the side of His Majesty and the Queen, people always have to have a stand. Those who ride on the wall are called grasshoppers. Once there is a big storm, the grasshoppers will be the first to finish. Wei Zheng, people's hearts are made of flesh.
, Your Majesty, if your Majesty is good to me, I will definitely choose to side with them.
This has nothing to do with principles, right or wrong, or even reason. Regardless of whether Your Majesty is on the stronger side or the weaker side, I stand with them." Yun Ye thought for a moment and said solemnly to Wei Zheng
explain.
No matter right or wrong, the Yun family needs a stance. The most taboo thing in official circles is to be a wallflower. No matter which side wins in the future, the first one to be eradicated is the wallflower. Because your goal is unknown, you are regarded as the most dangerous target.
Be in a position of priority and clarity.
Bianzhuang's trick of stabbing tigers is not fun. At that time, Bianzhuang was bitten alive by two tigers. Did Wei Zheng have a bad idea for himself, or did he have other purposes?
Ever since he came to the Tang Dynasty, Yun Ye couldn't tell the difference between loyal ministers and treacherous ministers. Many times, his affairs were in the hands of loyal ministers like Wei Zheng, while treacherous ministers like Xu Jingzong were a big help to him. Who said that?
Can you listen? Whose words can't you listen to? This needs to be considered.
Yun Ye has no objection to limiting the imperial power. Even if the imperial power is emptied and everyone implements the prime minister system, Yun Ye has no objection. The problem is not here, but Wei Zheng's naked warning made him vigilant. There are no good things in politicians, and people with great kindness and loyalty are also great.
The two of "treacherous and evil" are completely interchangeable. If someone wants to deal with you, it doesn't matter whether they are loyal or treacherous.
Wei Zheng acted extremely free and easy. He shook his robe and stood up. He patted Yun Ye on the shoulder twice in disgust, opened the door and went out. Yun Ye could even hear him and the shopkeeper chatting with each other. There was nothing wrong with this.
, Wei Zheng’s house is in this alley.
Whenever Yun Ye couldn't see clearly and was unsure, he would ask someone for advice. This person was neither Li Gang nor Cheng Yaojin. The only person who could make Yun Ye believe unconditionally was Niu Jinda, so Yun Ye didn't rush out.
Chang'an City, but came to Niu's house in Xinghuafang.
Since her grandson and granddaughter were brought back, Aunt Niu has never been willing to leave Xinghuafang, because the conditions here are the best and the two children like it here the most. In order to let her two grandsons eat well, Aunt Niu even went to Xinghuafang in person.
Yue, let the Yun family build a greenhouse for the Niu family in the capital. The grandson can't live without vegetables in winter. Aunt Niu has never liked the vegetables sold outside.
