Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Nine hundred and two official routes

Li Hong naturally knows that his own thoughts are too idealistic, but you have to take a step forward step by step before you know where the next problem will appear and what to do solve. . .

But if this situation has been maintained, recommendation and imperial examination co-exist, although recommendation will be replaced sooner or later in history, Datang is now developing extremely fast. If this aspect cannot keep up at all, then it is very likely After the glory of the Tang Dynasty, it will return to the original point, and even a certain historical process will go backwards.

So if you want to keep the wheel of history from retreating, you must allow big families to set up'private' schools, and the government vigorously open schools, so as to ban them on a large scale and completely eliminate the momentum of the five surnames and seven hopes, let them either be Decline, either "mixed" in these "private" schools and schools, rather than the benchmark that the scholars all look up to, and become their criterion.

Wu Mei also has her own ideas. For a while, Li Hong was very optimistic about the officials who came from the famous family. He believed that they were officials and all aspects of contact with each other. It is far higher than that of Han's'men' scholars, but it hasn't been many years since Li Hong has to actively deny his decision back then.

Even though he hadn't ascended the throne at that time, he was still a prince, after he was in charge of Shang Shusheng and became a Shang Shuling, he vigorously promoted the decision-making in the officials, but now he is the emperor, so he took the initiative to overthrow his own. In the decision-making, he had not considered the face of an emperor with a golden mouth and his words?

Li Hong shook his head and smiled, then raised his head and said, "Compared to Chaotang Sheji, what is the face of the son? If you can do what the son wants, the son would not care. What kind of face, let alone you don’t know..."

"Yes, you are not only the emperor who can "reciting" poems the most in the world, but also the emperor with the thickest skin." Wu Mei looked at Li Hong's helplessly ironically.

Although she said so, but in her heart, for Li Hong's further reforms, after ‘firing out’ Li Hong’s ultimate goal, she still ‘quite’ in favor of his move.

"In your Li Hong's heart, the famous'men' family and the world's scholar-officials are in your heart, so you are so inferior to the officials after the imperial examinations are passed by the'men' scholars?" Li Zhi thought for a while, still feeling So simply putting aside the literati who can advise Jiangshan Sheji, and the idea of ​​ruling the world together with the'college' scholars, is somewhat unreliable or unreliable.

Anyway, even though Datang has become peaceful and prosperous, the son’s **** is unpredictable, and his own decisions can be overturned by himself. Who knows that after a hundred years, this kind of goods will be missing. After the supervision of myself and the queen, will the court and Jiangshan be more smoky.

"The rule of the'chaotic' world is to give birth to fame and appearance, the ruler of the world reveals the emperor and the good ministers, and the prosperous age produces the faint of corrupt officials. This is the unchanging rule of history. For the greater benefit, the noble family restrains the court and interferes in the political power. What's more, just like the simple lyrics and music sung by the sons and gentlemen, if you want more people to read and recognize characters, of course you must read the sage books, but some are simple. An easy-to-understand truth is much easier to open up people's wisdom than the scholar-official's sub-collection of Confucianism and History annotated by his own understanding?" Li Hong said with a smile.

"It’s too idealistic to self-cultivation and the family to govern the country and the world. There is no such person at all. After all, no one is perfect. And those scholar-officials, famous Confucian scholars in the “door” family, which one does not have "Chaos" things? Which one can really achieve self-cultivation? In class thinking, it is class that maintains and takes root in their thinking. In their eyes, the cold "door" is the same as untouchables, but in In the eyes of the royal family and even the court, in this flourishing Tang Dynasty, if according to their understanding, my royal family should set up a monument for them in the environment where the whole world is rising. Why?" Li Hong shook his head helplessly. He knew very well that if he wanted to bypass the gentry class in this society and reach the lowest level of government affairs and national policy systems, he must bypass these middle classes and their interests, so as to root the stability of the royal family in the people. , There is a need for the people. In this way, as long as the people do not rebel, the literati class, the famous'men', who want to rebel and prevent the decision-making of the court, it will be as difficult as heaven.

"In ancient times, those who have “desire” in the world should rule their country first; those who have “desire” to rule their country must first align their family; those who “desire” align their own family, cultivate their body first; Those with the body first correct their heart; those who "want" to correct their mind should first sincere their intentions; those who "want" sincerely should first know them, and then they should know things. Sincerity and sincerity, the heart is right, then the body is cultivated, the body is cultivated and then the family is together, the family is together and the country is governed, and the country is governed by the world."

"By the way, the words in this book of rituals, to put it bluntly, still lie in the individual's self-cultivation, but now I look at the family of the famous'men' family, and then I look at my Datang royal family, up to father and queen, mother and queen. As for the princes of the clan, apart from Li Xian, the royal family of my Datang is not more harmonious than those famous'men' families? Haven't we already gone ahead of their great Confucian scholars and set a model for the people of the world?" Li Hong said in the end. , Looking at Li Zhi's sneer, suddenly felt that he was a bit bald, and brought up Li Xian's father's heart disease again.

Sure enough, Li Hong didn't have the opportunity to talk like just now, Li Zhi and Wu Mei's "fine" heart, but turned into Li Zhi's cynicism and heartbreaking vision of Anxi.

On the whole, this trip to Luoyang has completely deviated from the original meaning of Li Zhi hurriedly asking to reach Luoyang. Instead, it has become a trip for members of the royal family.

The horse-drawn train will stop when you want to stop or walk along the way. When you see a mountain passing by the car, Father Long will order it to stop, and then start touring the mountains and rivers.

From Chang'an to Luoyang, whether it's an official road or a horse-drawn train running on a railroad track that is unprecedented in history, the only thing that cannot be bypassed is the Yellow River.

Occasionally, you can see the turbulent Yellow River flowing from one side, and occasionally you can see the gentle Yellow River, which is irrigated by farmers in the world to irrigate the seedlings in the world.

But whenever the horse-drawn train passes by, there will always be more nearby troops from time to time, guarding the royal party from a distance, so that the people in the world can suddenly understand that this is the honor of the emperor.

Some farmers looked at the group of people and the vague ceremonies, and their hearts were suddenly full of excitement. Obviously, they didn’t work in vain in their entire life. They didn’t expect to be driven out by the family’s wife. The emperor of Tang and his party.

Although from the distance between him and the royal honor guard, he can't see a clear face at all, but even looking at the grand formation that he has never seen in his life from a distance, he can guess that this should be the emperor. The way to travel.

On the way of Wumei, I recall Li Hong’s words from time to time, especially Li Hong’s contemptuous talk of those scholar-bureaucrats. He has never governed a township or county, and he has never served as a state or government parent official. Some are just studying sages and sages at home, and then summed up the experience from the books of the ancients. The ability to talk freely is no different from Zhao Kuo’s paper. They are governed by one province and one state, fearing that the people will be hungry in the end. Those who know their stomachs too.

This is not a fair thing to the people. The people of the Li people don’t want much. As long as they can live and work in peace and work and eat, it’s enough for them. As for other things, for them, Like the gaze of a peasant in the distance looking here, it was too far away after all.

From time to time, there are troops guarding Li Zhi and the others when they pass by, so this also arouses the attention and interest of Li Zhi and Wu Mei, because these cavalry are always different troops that are in the dust every time they see them. It is not the same troops that have been following from Chang'an.

This makes Li Zhi and Wu Mei also very curious. In the past two years, the two of them have heard more or less about the reform of the Ministry of War. They are now a bottomless'hole', and their budget for one year has completely exceeded the original one. Li Zhi’s cognition during his reign ~IndoMTL.com~ has increased exponentially.

Even if there is no war in the Tang Dynasty, except for the Jiling City outside Anxi, where there are occasional resistances or active fights with the Dashi princes, there are already no wars in other places.

But even so, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are still the two government agencies that spend the most money in the imperial court today. Even after Li Zhi heard about the annual "spending" fees, he felt shocked. , Murmured to Wu Mei from time to time: "Is Li Hong cheated by the two Shangshu? Where did so much money have been'spended'? Isn't it embezzled?"

"You can ask him in person. If it is not possible, you can also send someone to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to check the accounts?" Wu Mei, who was teasing Li Hong's youngest son, said absently.

"I have been in the Zen position for many years, so I have long stopped asking about the government." Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei not interested, so he gave up the idea of ​​asking Li Hong.

Only this time I saw these dusty troops again, and this kind of suspicion once again rose in the hearts of the two of them.

Although these troops don't seem to be killing and bloody, they still have a faint sense of warfare that seems to be exhausted after the battle.

I don’t know when the sky began to rain. The royal ceremonial guard, who should return to the carriage to continue on the road, was stagnant because of Li Zhi’s stubbornness. Although it was raining, Li Zhi However, he was very interested and wanted to camp at the foot of the mountain not far away, and wait until the rain stopped before continuing on his way.

In desperation, Li Hong had to accept his orders and obey the willfulness of Father Dragon. In the drizzle, he began to order his followers to set up camp and feel the difference in the drizzle. .
