I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 362 Why is Your Majesty not fooling around?
Wei Qihou cannot be a prime minister!
Just one sentence, seven words, but because it was said from the mouth of the empress dowager, it completely cut off all political prospects of Dou Ying and even Wei Qihou's family.

From now on, anyone who doesn't want to make enemies with the emperor's grandmother or the current empress dowager will never say, "Wei Qihou Dou Ying is idle at home when there is a vacancy in any position." '.

This means that from now on, Dou Ying will not only be 'unsuitable for appearance', but will even become a dude who is 'unable to be an official' with the status of a prince and a relative, but is 'unable to be an official'...
"Why, it's come to this point..."

"Empress Dowager, why are you facing an enemy like this?"

···
"It is true, Your Majesty;"

"If you don't want to accept advice, just beat the two of us out, why bother to involve the prince?"

In Wei Qihou's residence in Shangguanli, seeing Dou Ying in a daze at the head seat, Zhao Wan and Wang Zang, who were seated at the guest table, were silent for a long time, and finally they could only sigh.

yes;

How did things come to such an extent?

Queen Mother, why did you react so violently?
And Your Majesty, why do you have to make things so big and get out of hand?
It is obviously a good thing for His Majesty to use the New Deal to seize power, and it should even be a wishful thing...
"We think of Your Majesty too simply..."

"I also underestimated the friendship between His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, underestimated the Empress Dowager's trust in Her Majesty, and her majesty's deference to the Empress Dowager."

"As for the New Deal..."

"Ugh······"

"New Deal..."

Finally, with another murmur, Dou Ying seemed to have been sucked out of the last strand of her soul, and she slumped on the couch in extreme loneliness, her eyes dimmed and she was dazed.

It’s over.

Dou Ying, it's over.

It's not that what happened this time drove Dou Ying to a life-threatening situation;
But as a political figure, Dou Ying, is over.

From now on, the name 'Dou Ying' will no longer appear in the court hall of the Han family.

And for a politician who is determined to change the world, ambitious, and wants to do something, such an ending is even more shocking than "not a good death".

Dou Ying completely lost her energy, and Zhao Wan and Wang Zang were not much better either.

——Even Dou Ying, who came up with ideas behind the scenes, didn't get the slightest tolerance from the Empress Dowager Dou, let alone Zhao Wan and Wang Zang who charged ahead?
That is to say, after Dou Ying walked out of Changle Palace, the gate of Changle Palace was closed, and no soldiers were banned, or the palace people followed Dou Ying out of the palace gate.

If not, at this moment Zhao Wan and Wang Zang are probably either in Tingwei's prison, or on the way to escape to the ends of the earth...

"What's wrong with this New Deal?"

"Isn't it something that Chang'an court has always wanted to do since the time of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen?"

"Isn't it the most compliant thing to let the Chehous all return to their respective feudal kingdoms?"

···
"Removing the confinement of Hangu Pass, wouldn't it make the world's commerce more prosperous and the world's people richer?"

"Knowing that Hangu Pass will no longer set up confinement, won't it make people in the world feel more at ease, and think that the world is stable and there will be no more wars?"

···
"As for recruiting talents, that's something that the court has been worrying about since the time of Taizu Emperor Gao."

"Bringing all the heroes from all over the world to Chang'an to fight for the emperor, wouldn't it make His Majesty even more majestic and the Han family stronger?"

"Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager, why are they so..."

"So pedantic?"

·
"Pedantic?"

"Humph!"

"In terms of pedantry, who can compare to Wei Qihou?!"

"—a person of a certain age, but still as innocent as a child!"

"If you really want to be the prime minister of my Han family, you may cause a lot of trouble!!!"

Changle Palace, the apse of Changxin Hall.

Hearing Liu Sheng said with a smile, "Perhaps someone is saying that the grandson and the imperial grandmother are pedantic, so they are unwilling to implement the New Deal." The anger that Empress Dowager Dou had suppressed just now was ignited again!

"When you open your mouth and shut your mouth, you are home, country, and the world. You can't control yourself!"

"—At any rate, he was also the general who led the troops to quell the Wu-Chu Rebellion. It's unbelievable that he can say something like 'removing Hangu Pass'!"

"Is it true that there was a rebellion between Wu and Chu, and all the clan and princes of my Han family were scared?"

"joke!"

"Hangu Pass is here, Liu Bi and Liu Wu dare to raise troops and cause chaos, and the kings of Qi and Huainan will rise up and follow!"

"If you really want to go to Hangu Pass, let alone the kings of Guandong, even the king of Liang may not have such heaven-defying thoughts!"

"What's more, now, the emperor is standing before he is crowned, and it is at the time of the Lord Shaoguo's stall;"

"Don't think about stabilizing the inside and outside of the government, but think about abolishing the ban on Hangu?"

"Humph!!!"

"This Dou Ying, I'm afraid he ate the 'elixir' refined by Marquis Zhang Wu, but he hasn't had time to take it!!!!"

···
"What else is there?"

"Oh, recruit talents, build the Yuan Dynasty, and entrust the Marquis Che to the country..."

"Dou Ying's book of sages and sages has been read into the dog's stomach????"

Sitting next to him with a smile, seeing his grandmother Empress Dou getting angry and chattering furiously when she mentioned Dou Ying, Liu Sheng just lowered his head with a smile and nodded thoughtfully.

As Empress Dowager Dou said just now: Dou Ying, who is over half a hundred years old, has gray hair, and is even an "veteran minister", is really naive and a bit too much.

For example, Hangu Pass, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, has always been an important line of defense for Ying Qin to defend the Kanto countries, and it also enjoys the reputation of "one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it".

A hundred years ago, during the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao, Qin general Bai Qi killed 40 prisoners of the Zhao army in one fell swoop. The coalition forces pushed Bai Qi's Qin army all the way back to Hangu Pass.

In the end, Qin State not only failed to expand the fruits of victory on the basis of the Changping World War I, but also spit out all the fruits of victory obtained in the Changping World War I.

The final result is that Qin and Zhao each fight for their own fortunes, and Qin is even more powerful, but only replaces Zhao's generation of young and strong, and discounts Zhao's backbone;
On the other hand, Qin State itself was exhausted physically and mentally by years of continuous wars. The people were miserable, the treasury was so poor that it could run away from rats, and the officials' court uniforms were eager to be patched.

But it was such a battle between Qin and Zhao Changping, in which one thousand enemies were injured and eight hundred were self-injured, that made the world realize the reality again.

——As long as the Hangu Pass is in place, Qin can be assured of 'not losing' in foreign wars.

why?
Because of the existence of Hangu Pass, it can almost guarantee that any national war will not burn the headquarters of Qin State: Guanzhong.

Just like the eagles of later generations, no matter who they fight against, no matter whether they win or lose, the homeland is solid, and it will not hurt the country at all: the existence of Hangu Pass allows Qin to hold a card from the beginning to the end. As long as you fight with me, the battlefield will definitely be your house's trump card.

If you win, you will conquer the city and conquer the land, or even destroy the country;
If they lost, they would just return to Hangu Pass, as if nothing had happened.

No matter whether you win or lose, the land that is destroyed by the flames of war is always the territory of another country, not the mainland of Qin.

After shrinking in Guanzhong and developing for a period of time, the population, food and grass were re-accumulated, and the Qin army who came out of Hangu again became the Qin of tigers and wolves that frightened the world.

It is precisely by virtue of this superiority of 'win if you win, and lose if you don't lose' that Qin was able to achieve the grand plan of unifying the world in one fell swoop after repeated failures during the reign of the First Emperor Yingzheng.

And this kind of superiority of "destroy your country if you win, and retreat to Guanzhong if you lose" was given to Qin by Hangu Pass, which is controlled by one man and cannot be opened by ten thousand men.

Up to now, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States have been gradually left behind by the wheel of history, and the way of war has also undergone great changes from the beginning.

For example, the core unit of the Warring States period: chariot soldiers, was completely eliminated in the Han Dynasty because of a battle between the Han and the Huns.

——Emperor Liu Bang, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, at the cost of being encircled by the Huns himself, told the people of the world bluntly: fighting cavalry with a chariot is really hitting a stone with an egg...
But even if the mode of warfare is changing, the composition of the army is changing, and the types of arms are changing, Hangu Pass is still Hangu Pass.

As long as it is there, people in Guanzhong will feel at ease;

As long as it is there, the Kanto people will not have the heart to make trouble.

It is not even an exaggeration to say: as long as it is there, the emperor Sheng in the Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace can sleep with one eye open instead of both eyes.

And according to Dou Ying's proposal, to lift the ban on Hangu Pass, that is, to remove the defenses of Hangu Pass, what can be exchanged for Chang'an Chaotang in the end is just to make people in the world feel: Oh, Hangu Pass is not fortified anymore , The world must be calm that day, and no one will fight again.

If not——if it wasn't for the fact that there would be no more wars in the world, how could His Majesty do such a stupid thing and abandon the Hangu Pass, which is controlled by one man and cannot be opened by ten thousand men?

Liu Sheng really didn't know how to describe such an approach.

This is like the cockroaches of later generations suggesting: In order to make the eagles friendly to us, we should pull out all the mushrooms - part-time jobs are ridiculous...

Let's talk about the two items of Jianyuan and recruiting talents, which seem to be mediocre, and even make sense in the question.

——Jianyuan, it’s nothing more than a year name~
——Recruiting talents means recruiting a group of employees~
At first glance, having a year name is not a big deal, and it doesn't matter if you don't;
Recruiting talents is also a good opportunity for Liu Sheng, the new king, to recruit subordinates and weave wings.

But in fact, these are two naive ideas with very Confucian characteristics.

What are Confucian characteristics?

It looks like hello, hello, hello, everyone, but in fact it is extremely naive, and the whole world is acquiesced to be a "moral gentleman" and a "living saint".

——Jianyuan must mean the year of the founding!

The so-called first year name is to do something that has never been done before, especially something that the previous emperors of the Han family have never done.

what does this mean?
It means that the puppet emperor Tianzi Sheng, who is young and has not even been crowned, has not even married and is in charge of the government. Now he feels that the previous emperors "made a mistake" and believes that the current self has the ability to "correct mistakes" for the previous emperors. The ability to make up for the incomparably correct things that the previous emperors missed.

In other words, it is equivalent to Liu Sheng telling the world: Ah~ Sorry~
Those old people in our family can't do that~
Now that I am the emperor, I must do better than those few.

Everyone has to trust me, stop thinking about those old immortals~
Isn't this pure nonsense?

——You must know that Liu Sheng's legal basis and the legitimacy of his rule are all obtained from the previous emperors of the Han family!
The great-grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, the grandson of Taizong Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng, and the son of Xiaojing Emperor Liu Qi are Liu Sheng's real legal source!

The result turned out to be good: Dou Ying single-handedly 'Jian Yuan', and wanted Liu Sheng to give up his source of legal system and make such a decision that violated his ancestors?

What is this impure nonsense?
what is it? !

There is also recruitment, it seems that Liu Sheng has a broad mind and is willing to promote talents;

But Liu Sheng's broad-mindedness does not mean that the entire Chang'an court is broad-minded!
There are interest groups in the court!

Whether it is the military meritorious group, the foreign relatives Xungui group, or civil servants and officials, they all have their own small groups, small circles, and have their own common demands and common interests!

The result turned out to be good: Liu Sheng has just ascended the throne, and his ass is still hot on the throne, so he is going to be urged by Dou Ying to 'recruit talents'?
Isn't this telling Chang'an court: I don't think you are good?

Originally, the power cake was only that big, and the various forces were fighting openly and secretly. They already wished they could beat the dog's brains out, and were waiting for Liu Sheng, the referee, to play checks and balances and reconcile yin and yang;
As a result, Liu Sheng was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he wanted to recruit another group of "Xinxing Wenchen Group" to come to this muddy water?

Not to mention that now, Liu Shengnian is weak and has not won the championship, and the head of the Han family is suspicious of the country - even the former emperor Liu Qi, or even the emperor Taizong Liu Heng, who is in power, would not dare to play like this.

The recruitment of talents can be recommended by the local government, or the court can propose 'there is a shortage of manpower, please Your Majesty recruit some people who can be used', but it cannot be proposed by the emperor.

Because the local government took the initiative to recommend it, it was nothing but flattery and flattery;

Chaotang's initiative was just to recruit some non-staff personnel, or to add a little fresh blood.

But the emperor took the initiative to mention it, which means that the emperor is dissatisfied with the work inside and outside the government and the field—at least dissatisfied with the work efficiency.

And such a political signal, for a young and uncrowned emperor, undoubtedly means standing on the opposite side of the entire court...
"I don't know what Wei Qihou has done in the Hou Mansion these years..."

"Closed doors?"

Thinking of the end, Liu Sheng only half-deliberately, and pretended not to let out a murmur;
Seeing the words, Empress Dowager Dou snorted again, closed her eyes and fell asleep on the couch.

"Zhao Wan and Wang Zang, those two traitors!"

"It must be their demonic words that have deceived the public and bewitched the king and grandson!"

"Emperor, just wait and see."

···
"What else did you say to make Chehou go to the country..."

"If you really want to do this, won't even my son go to the Guandong with that Tang Yihou?"

"It's outrageous!"

　I'm very sorry, I'm really not in good health recently, and I really don't have a leave...

　　Try not to make such a mistake again, thank you for your understanding and forgiveness...
