I am the king of the dead

332 The octopus cannot escape from the abyss
Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian are tasting tea. Literally tasting tea means tea leaves.

Mengshan sent Mengding Ganlu, which is a tribute tea of ​​all dynasties, and has been a tribute since the Tang Dynasty. Tang Bai Juyi and Song Wenyanbo both wrote poems for Mengding Ganlu.

The shape of the tea is slender, the whole leaf is like a bud spring, compact and silvery, tender green and moist, with a strong aroma, and the tea soup is like nectar, rich and sweet.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu is just asking about politics by drinking tea.

Of course, the witty Yu Shaobao no longer pushes the chessboard with His Majesty's soldiers.

Xing'an was rather disappointed making tea for His Majesty and Yu Qian, the big move he prepared was useless anymore.

Yu Qian asked His Majesty how His Majesty planned to deal with Li Xian's family. He was actually asking His Majesty how to deal with the rebels and his understanding of the word reward and punishment.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "I don't plan to punish Li Xian's family members. It's better for their family members to live in the official residence. If they are kicked out of the official residence, it will be easier to escape or be framed."

"After the rebellion in Huichangbo Mansion is settled, we will make plans based on Li Xian's actions."

"Besides, if I kill Li Xian's family, won't I be no different from the common man Zhu Yunqi? Does Li Xian have to die to serve the rebels?"

Zhu Qiyu already knew about Li Rang. As Zhu Di's son-in-law, Li Rang had a difficult choice. Originally, his father-in-law Zhu Di rebelled, and his biological father Li Da worked in the Jianwen Dynasty, which made Li Rang's position extremely awkward.

Zhu Yunqi happily solved this problem for Li Rang and killed Li Rang's own father. This kind of arrogance is not the way to be a king.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and the correct solution of treating all things as straw dogs is: Heaven and earth treat all things without likes or dislikes, they are all the same.

Obviously, the Confucian scholars around Zhu Yunqi had never taught Zhu Yunqi the correct interpretation of this sentence. Zhu Yunqi thought that the sky was not kind, and interpreted everything as pigs and dogs.

Yu Qian took a sip. He was not good at tea ceremony. To be precise, his poor family conditions did not allow him to have this kind of tea-tasting hobby. Yu Qian only had one comment on Mengding Ganlu: it was delicious.

Simple and rustic.

Yu Qian is not good at tea ceremony, but Yu Qian is good at government.

Yu Qian said with a smile: "My congratulations to Daming. Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments. This is a blessing in the world."

"Your Majesty, what do you think of the behavior of the rebels putting down their bowls to scold their mothers and pick up their bowls of real fragrance?"

Yu Qian very much agrees with His Majesty's judgment.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time and said: "It's weird, they rebelled but they want to use my laws. Doesn't this mean that they admit that I'm right?"

"According to the report of Yue Qian and others, there are so many of them, could it be that they were all deceived by Li Xian alone?"

"What a strange thing."

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Li Xian is not alone in eloquence. In fact, Li Xian is not eloquent. According to the news that came, Li Xian didn't argue with anyone, he kept cursing."

"Thinking about Li Xian's mood is extremely depressed. He was doing a good job of inspecting salt censors, and he has worked hard to enter the court, and he is also a member of the court. Sigh."

When one is unlucky, drinking cold water can make one's teeth clogged. Li Xian's first half of life was indeed quite unlucky.

Yu Qian thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Li Xian is actually just venting his anger. The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. He may not have figured out why these people listen to him and implement His Majesty's laws."

"Guanzi said: There are no two wrongs in power, and there are no two schools in politics."

What does Guanzi mean?That is to say, authority is not given to the two, and government orders do not come from the two.

That is to say, if the authority is dispersed, there is no prestige at all, and people don't know who to trust; if the government orders are not centralized and unified, they will easily contradict each other, and people will not know where to go.

Of course Zhu Qiyu had read these words, thought for a moment and said: "What Yu Shaobao means is that they don't have their own way to justify themselves, so they can only do things with the help of my laws and regulations?"

Yu Qian nodded and said: "Your Majesty is good at the righteous way and not good at ghost tricks. This is the way of the great way."

"When the emperor loses his way, the princes will be honored; if the princes lose their power, the great officials will rise; if the great officials lose their positions, the common people will rise."

"Looking at it from this point of view, there are those who gain without losing at the top."

If the Son of Heaven loses his Way, the feudal lords will respect him.

For example, the death of a teacher in Tumubao in Zhuqi Town humiliated the country, and Zhu Qiyu, the king of Yi, was revered as the emperor.

For example, if Zhu Yunqi lost his way, it would be difficult for Jing to decide the tripod if King Yan rose up.

For example, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the monarch and his ministers failed to follow the rules, Zhu Yuanzhang aspired to become the world leader.

From this point of view, if the emperor does not lose his way, there has never been anyone who has won the world.

Yu Qian's words are to explain his previous sentence that prestige is not wrong, and politics is not second.

Precisely because His Majesty did not lose the Dao, His Majesty did not lose imperial prestige, let alone power, so even if they reprimanded His Majesty, they could only do nothing about politics.

He could only hold his nose and continue to implement His Majesty's decree, which was even more stringent.

At the beginning, it was difficult for the Yan Mansion to calm down because Zhu Yunqi blindly cut down the vassals, and blindly emphasized literature over martial arts, while the Yan Mansion promoted literature instead of martial arts.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxuan lost the world, and the Yan family gained the world.

Yu Qian said with emotion: "Successful kings and defeated bandits, isn't it not the case that kings become kings and defeated bandits?"

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help nodding, Yu Qian's words made people suddenly understand, why this group of people caused a rebellion in Yingtian Mansion, and why they enforced His Majesty's laws, can be easily explained.

Li Xian obviously did not have the insight of Yu Qian. Li Xian just passively followed the trend, while Yu Qian analyzed the reasons why Li Xianneng did so from the phenomenon to the problem, and then from the problem to the reason.

This is seeking truth from facts.

Of course, Yu Qian also said that the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear.

Yu Qian said that he was a bystander, so he could understand it, but Zhu Qiyu thought about it, even if Li Xian was a bystander, he might not be able to understand the truth.

Such things as talent are not quantifiable, but they are divided into high places.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "I would like to be taught. Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books."

Yu Qian hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I'm terrified."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked curiously: "Why did Yu Shaobao quote the scriptures and never use Confucianism?"

Guanzi Yu Qian has already quoted it twice. Yu Qian took the imperial examination for meritorious service, and it stands to reason that he is a scholar of Confucianism.

However, Yu Qian seems to seldom quote the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, but mostly uses the theory of a hundred schools of thought.

Yu Qian thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the theory of a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period has never been broken, but Confucianism is only a prominent school. If it weren't for this, where would I know what Guanzi, Laozi, and Wenzi said?"

"These principles have been handed down from the pre-Qin period to the present, because they are very reasonable."

Truth is indestructible, this is a general axiom.

"Your Majesty, if this Confucian knowledge can rule the world, why bother to study the knowledge of various schools of thought? If you are poor, you will change. If you change, you will be able to understand it. If you understand it, it will last forever."

Poverty means exhaustion, and it means that things have developed to the end and have to change. Change leads to understanding, and understanding leads to permanence.

The knowledge of Confucianism almost brought four disasters to Ming Dynasty, and Yu Qian had no choice but to read other books for the sake of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu understood, and said with a smile: "Drink tea, drink tea."

Yu Qian took a sip of tea, his lips and teeth lingering, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, have you ever doubted that since power is equal and government is equal, why are these people able to rebel so loudly?"

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "I don't want to force them to rebel, I just don't want to lose the world with leniency."

Yuan Yikuan lost the world, this is a historical lesson learned by the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu can't be lenient and forceful to the Haoyou family, otherwise, is this Daming Jiangshan still a Daming Jiangshan?
Zhu Qiyu continued: "They were restrained a little bit, lost a little bit of privilege, but still enjoyed a life of a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than ordinary people, but did not think about the court's grace, insisted on going their own way, stealing the country for selfishness, it was a crime Yu Tian."

"Everyone gets it and kills it!"

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Yu Qian had a smile on his face, he had already asked what he wanted to ask clearly, he was never asking about Li Xian's family, nor about the every move of the rebels, he was asking about His Majesty's heart for rewards and punishments.

Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and said, "Obviously Yu Shaobao has something to say."

Yu Qian nodded and said: "Zhuangzi said: Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes."

Because of his abolition of Zhu Qizhen's throne, Yu Qian has always been cautious in persuading him. He is always between the critical point of a powerful minister and a virtuous minister who saves time.

At that time, if it was not abolished, it would not work. The four disasters came together. If it was not abolished, Daming would be abolished.

Although Yu Qian has been talking about the past, he has always been talking about the present.

Yu Qian sighed and continued: "In the past, the neighbors of the Qi State looked at each other, and heard the sound of chickens and dogs. It was more than [-] miles away from the place where the cloth was laid and the place where Lei Lei was stabbed. Those who rule the country, the township, the house, the state, the village, the township, and the music, are they the lawless saints?"

"However, once Tian Chengzi kills the king of Qi, he will steal his country. Will his country be the only one who steals evil?"

This refers to Tian Shi Daiqi.

Jiang Taigong's feudal state was in the state of Qi, and was later replaced by the Tian family. Later, the Tian family was made the Marquis of Qi by the king of Zhou, so there is an allusion of the thief.

Yu Qian sighed and said: "Your Majesty, if we all use the sage's benevolence to govern the world, the bandit Zhi will be rampant."

"The sage made the Douhu to hold the world, made the balance to weigh the world, made the talisman to win the trust of the world, and used benevolence and righteousness to regulate the world. for personal gain."

"Isn't Robber Zhi stealing the saint's virtue and wisdom?"

"Thus, those followers who steal Zhi, occupy the positions of princes, steal benevolence and righteousness, and weigh the benefits of seals, even if they are rewarded by high-ranking officials and generous salaries, it is impossible to persuade them, even if they are majestic to kill with axes and axes. May be prohibited."

Undoubtedly, the sage Yu Qian mentioned was Zhu Yuanzhang who founded the Ming Dynasty, and fighting dendrobium, balance, talisman, benevolence and righteousness were false references to various powers of the Ming Dynasty.

Shi Heng, Yang Jun and even Zhu Qiyu, in fact, have always had a question, that is, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty clearly has high officials and rich salary, has the majesty of killing with an axe and axe, and clearly holds the strongest army in the world in his hands, but these people still turned against each other Woolen cloth?
Are they not afraid?

Of course they are afraid!
But as Hu Wei said, three times the profit is lawless!

The benefits are too great, and all the rebels are those who steal benevolence and righteousness and fight, weigh, and benefit from the talisman. They are used to such days, and naturally they are unwilling to lose them.

Then who let them steal the power of fighting dendrobium, weighing, talisman, and benevolence?
Obviously not Zhu Qiyu.

In the 24 years of the prosperity of Wen and Wu, the court of Ming Dynasty and the emperor of Ming Dynasty lost too much power, so that when they wanted to take back these powers, these people yelled against them, and even gathered in Together, rebel.

When Yu Qian said this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered an old incident."

"It's about the Spring and Autumn Period. There was a country named Song."

"Zihan went to the state of Song as chancellor, and told the king of Song that whether the country is in peril or stability, and whether the people are united or alienated, all depends on the rewards and punishments implemented by the king."

"If rewards are appropriate, talents can be encouraged; if punishments are appropriate, treacherous villains can be deterred; if rewards and punishments are improper, virtuous people will not be persuaded, and villains will not stop."

"Treacherous people gather together to compete with each other, deceive and deceive the monarch, and win titles and fortunes in this way. You must not be careless."

"Does your Majesty think his words are correct?" Yu Qian asked.

Zhu Qiyu said as a matter of course: "Distinct rewards and punishments are the way to rejuvenate the country."

Yu Qian said with a smile: "The reason is a good reason, and Song Jun also thinks it is very reasonable."

"After Zihan said a lot of very reasonable things earlier, he immediately changed the subject and said that everyone likes rewards, and the monarch will do it; everyone hates punishment, so Zihan will do it."

"Song Jun was overjoyed, and handed over the matter of punishment and killing to this Prime Minister Zihan."

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a long time and said: "Putting a false name, naturally there will be no good results."

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"This Prime Minister Zihan has mastered the matter of punishment and killing. All the ministers are close to him, and the people are all attached to him. After a few years, Prime Minister Zihan dismissed Song Jun and became Song Jun himself."

Tian's generation was the marquis of stealing the country, and Zihan's generation of Song was also the marquis of stealing the country.

Yu Qian was full of emotion, his majesty never spared his life, never cared about the false name, and was never angry when he was called a king of subjugation.

Rewards and punishments are all in the hands of His Majesty, the rewards are heavy rewards, and the punishments are homicides and sent to the imperial hospital, which can be called violent.

To do so, from a Confucian perspective, is wrong.

But looking at it from the perspective of all schools of thought, it couldn't be more correct.

So, how can Yu Qian persuade His Majesty from the Confucian classics?
It is wrong to do that.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said: "Therefore, there is no weak king and no strong husband. "Laozi" says: Fish can't escape from the deep, and the country's sharp weapon can't be borrowed from others."

Just like a fish cannot be out of water, the state's public implements cannot be handed over to others.

It's like King Jili, in order to save trouble, handed over the power of inspecting the capital camp, rewarding and punishing courtiers, and handing over the state's public instruments to Wang Zhen. In the end, the loss of teachers in Tumubao and humiliation of the country became the biggest joke of the Ming Dynasty.

It is absolutely unacceptable for the public weapon of the country to be handed over to others, and it will lose the way.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help nodding, and said with a smile: "Yu Shaobao is a great talent."

Yu Qian hurriedly replied: "It's all because the sage is in court, and I have more leisure time. Naturally, I have time to think. It's all because of His Majesty's sage that I have the time to sort out."

After Xing'an finished listening to the political discussion, he refilled a cup for His Majesty and Yu Qian and said, "Drink tea."

Xing'an interrupted the mutual flattery of the monarch and his subjects, and he finally understood.

Yu Qian started by asking Li Xian's family how to deal with them, and asked His Majesty's heart for rewards and punishments, and then explained the necessity of the rebel army having to follow His Majesty's laws with "the one who steals the hook" Zhu, those who steal the country are princes" explained why they rebelled and why they dared to rebel.

Then, with the allusion of "Tian Shi replaces Qi, Zihan replaces Song" to explain why the country is stolen, and finally ends with the words of "Lao Tzu" "A fish cannot escape from the deep, and a country's sharp weapon cannot be borrowed from others."

Yu Qian is advising His Majesty that the sharp weapon of the country should not be used by others.

In this short time of a cup of tea, Yu Qian clearly explained the many doubts that have been disturbing during this period of time, and also advised His Majesty not to use the sharp weapon in charge of the country to others.

Xing'an sighed again and again, he deserved to be Yu Shaobao who saved the world.

"Does Yu Shaobao think that Li Xian himself can be forgiven?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

Yu Qian smiled and said without saying a word: "Your Majesty thinks so."

pull.

　Thanks to "Fujian Liushang" for the 1500-point reward, "Candlelight Breakthrough Body" for the 500-point reward, and "Blood Desire" for the 325-point reward, and thanks to "Bad Fatty" and "Kite Maruko" , "Ling Zichen"'s 100-point reward, thank you for your support.The source of Zihan Dynasty Song Dynasty: Sicheng Zihan was the prime minister of Song Dynasty, and he said to the emperor of Song Dynasty: "The danger of the country and the order of the people are in the rewards and punishments of the emperor; when rewards are right, the virtuous are persuaded, and if the punishment is good, the villains are stopped; rewards and punishments If it is inappropriate, the sages will not persuade, the treacherous will not stop, and the treacherous and evil will compare Zhou, deceive the master, and fight for the title. You must not be careless. Those who give rewards and rewards are what people like, and the king does it himself; What is evil, I ask you to deal with it." The king said: "If you are good, you will be the master of evil, and I will do good. I know that you will not be laughed at by the princes." So the king of Song rewarded Zihan and punished him. The people of the country know the power of punishment and slaughter. , Dedicated to Zihan, the ministers are relatives, the people are attached to him, and the residence period is a year. Zihan chases his king and respects his government. Therefore, it is said: There is no weak king and no strong husband.Lao Tzu said: "Fish cannot escape from the deep, and the sharp weapon of the country cannot be borrowed from others." This is what it means.
