Han Dao world

Chapter 1269 Step by step
Liu Xie closed the exercise set, raised his hand and scratched the center of his eyebrows with his little finger, suddenly feeling lucky.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang is more interested in politics than academics, otherwise he would have missed it long ago.

Mathematics really depends on talent, and it cannot be solved with hard work.Relying on the advantage of being a traverser, I have pretended to be a master for several years, but now facing two talented teenagers, I can't pretend anymore.

In fact, this can not blame him.After work, I haven't used much advanced mathematics, except for some concepts, most of them have been forgotten.What impressed him most was middle school mathematics, but those people of this era did not have too obvious a generation difference. It only took three to five years for a group of masters to catch up with him.

In terms of thinking, he still has some balance.

In terms of technology, he has been hollowed out.

After a while, he will have nothing to teach Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong in mathematics, so it is better to let them follow Zhao Shuang and others to do research.If you follow yourself, you may be delayed.

"You guys are making great progress. Starting tomorrow, go to the lecture hall and learn from Zhao Jijiu. I'm too busy recently, I'm afraid I don't have time to guide you."

Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong exchanged a look, and they bowed their hands together to salute.

"only."

Cao Chong asked again: "Your Majesty, I take the liberty to ask whether it is a matter of legislation or a matter of rewards?"

Liu Xie glanced at Cao Chong, a little surprised.

Although Cao Chong is young, his EQ is ridiculously high, even better than his IQ.How could he ask such a question that was obviously not suitable?
"Do you have any idea?"

"I don't understand something. Regarding legislation, I would like to ask His Majesty for advice."

"Let's listen to it." Liu Xie crossed his fingers and hugged his belly, becoming interested.

When discussing mathematics, he is afraid of being timid.Discussing these, he will not be sleepy.

In fact, he is already thinking about devoting his energy to enlightening their politics and economy in the future, laying a foundation for them to seek truth from facts from the very beginning, so as not to be misled by Confucian classics and cannot correct it later.

Cao Chong bowed his hands and bowed again. "Recently, I have often heard people discuss legislation. There are generally two opinions on internal and external courts. One is to abolish the internal court, and the government will be ruled by the three princes, and the emperor will rule. The other is to strengthen the internal court, the emperor will make decisions, and the three princes will implement it. The reason for supporting the former is that people are not right to the virtuous, and there is nothing wrong with them. Although the Son of Heaven is wise, he is only one person after all, and it is difficult to pervade all political affairs. If you have power but cannot use it, you will be taken advantage of by the left and right. It is better to authorize the three princes, and the Son of Heaven will be responsible for supervision. The reason for supporting the latter is that the three lords have their own specialties, there are many affairs, and they involve their own interests, so it is inevitable to lose sight of the other, but it is better for the emperor to have a far-sighted view, the bystander is clear, and can make decisions."

Liu Xie smiled knowingly after listening. "What do you think of yourself?"

"I think it's all reasonable, but I can't make a choice, so I want to ask His Majesty for advice."

"Yuanzhi, what about you?" Liu Xie looked at Zhou Buyi again.

Zhou Buyi also said: "I have discussed with Cang Shu many times, but there is no conclusion yet."

Liu Xie nodded. "It's right that there is no conclusion. There is no conclusion for this kind of thing."

Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong looked at each other, more puzzled.

"You have all read Xunzi's articles. You should know the relationship between learning and thinking. Governance and learning are similar, and there is also a relationship between thinking and action. Thinking without doing is just fantasy. The former is the law. Confucianism is in front of the two, and it is the shortest way. From this perspective, it is a more reasonable plan to make decisions in the inner dynasty and implement them in the three princes."

Zhou Buyi thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and the Son of Heaven is governing, almost doing nothing, so he is passive."

"That's right. The Son of Heaven hangs his bow and governs by doing nothing. It's an ancient policy. Some people say it's fantasy, some people say it's a historical fact. Whether it's right or wrong, let's not talk about him. But there is one thing that cannot be ignored."

Liu Xie leaned back to make himself sit more comfortably. "In ancient times, the ignorance was not yet opened. The monarch held the power of sacrifice and communicated with the destiny to govern. Since the Master established his school, the people's wisdom has gradually developed. How can the ancient government be restored and acted entirely according to the will of God? When there is a problem, if you don't brainstorm, but To sacrifice to heaven?"

Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong shuddered at the same time and shook their heads again and again.

Such a thing as sacrificing humans to heaven feels barbaric when you think about it.

Qin Mugong's pedestrians died, and the Qin people mourned him, and wrote the poem "Yellow Bird", which has always been regarded as a symbol of the barbarism and backwardness of the Qin people.In contrast, the Central Plains abolished human sacrifice very early on.

Don't talk about restoring human sacrifice now, it's absurd to think about it.

"However, the Son of Heaven's decision and the Sangong's implementation have its difficulties." Liu Xie continued.

He knew that the two opinions mentioned by Cao Chong had been discussed many times among ministers.It can even be said that Cao Chong asked this question because the ministers wanted to use Cao Chong's mouth to test his attitude.

After all, the so-called internal and external courts are just a pretext, and the real key lies in imperial power.

Whether to limit imperial power and how to limit it are the core of this debate.

Since it involves imperial power, of course it has to be tactful.Even the minister who insisted on restricting the imperial power could not deny the influence of him, the hero of ZTE.Without him, Dahan would not be where he is today.Now talking about restricting imperial power, isn't it just crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, or even trying to demolish the bridge before crossing the river?
The reason why some people dare to mention it is only because of one reason: he let go of the wind before, and he will go west in the future, and the prince will supervise the country.

Since he wanted to go west, the impact of restricting imperial power on him would be limited.Taking advantage of this opportunity to form a system and restrict the successor is the goal of many ministers.

As far as he is concerned, he is also in favor of restricting imperial power. After all, this is a major historical trend and a realistic requirement.

With the refinement of management, the emperor's monopoly of power cannot be maintained.Either be diligent and exhausted, or lie flat and rotten, neither of which is desirable.

Therefore, he supports the restriction of imperial power, but he should not rush for success, but must proceed step by step.

"One is that decision-making is not made in a vacuum, and requires a lot of information, and this information can only be obtained from the Sangong. If the information provided by the Sangong is wrong, the decision will naturally be impossible to implement. The second is whether the implementation of the Sangong is in line with the intention of the decision-making , Whether there is bias or not is also a problem. If there is disharmony, is it a wrong decision or wrong implementation? No matter which party is blamed, it will be unfair."

Cao Chong frowned. "In His Majesty's opinion, so what?"

"In general, there should be a division of labor between the inner court and the outer court, but it can't be too clear and absolute." Liu Xie pondered: "The specific division of labor, in order to take into account both efficiency and fairness, may still need to be considered. One thing, It should be clear. Power must not only be matched with ability, but also linked with responsibility. No one, including the emperor and prince, can only enjoy the benefits of power without taking responsibility. Of course, Sangong is no exception."

Zhou Buyi pondered for a moment. "Your Majesty, manpower is sometimes empty, but there is no end to things. When I, a great man, rides all over the world with iron cavalry, and wears Chinese clothes all over the world, how can the emperor rule the world by himself? So this inner dynasty is still necessary. Not only must there be , but also gather the most handsome men in the world to be the head of the country."

Liu Xie nodded in agreement. "Not only people, but also technology is needed. This is why I suggest you study practical studies. Politics cannot be separated from the economic foundation, and science and technology are the primary productive forces. Technological progress determines the economic foundation, which in turn determines the political form."
