After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 419 Seed
Kyoto.

Prime Minister!

It used to be the prime minister's mansion, and now the plaque on its lintel has been removed, but a new plaque has not yet been hung.

This big house has now changed to a new owner.

He is warm boiled rain.

The yard was too big, and Wen Zhuyu was alone, so Nian Chengfeng also moved here from Qiuyuefang.

After all, the houses here are not leaky.

After all, it is much closer to the palace.

Nian Chengfeng is poor, but Wen Zhuyu is rich.

Wen Zhuyu is not only rich, but also lazy, so he entrusts Jingzhao Mansion to buy some servants from the tooth shop.

The mansion became lively again.

At the age of 29, the imperial court has taken a break from bathing, but Wen Zhuyu has not been idle.

This is still Ningguo, and although the year is still Zhaohua, everyone knows that it is a new dynasty.

A new dynasty means that there are many new things.

For example, the appointment and dismissal of a large number of officials.

For example, a lot of urgently needed memorials sent from various states and so on.

In this way, the old prime minister's mansion became a government affairs hall outside the palace.

Li Wenhou, Minister of the Household Department, had just left, Wen Zhuyu rubbed his head, got up, walked a few steps to the yard outside the study, and saw another old man brought in by the concierge.

When he saw it, he was immediately happy.

It was Qian Guodong who came.

The old man had a sad look on his face, not as vigorous as when we first met him.

He stood in front of Wen Zhuyu, staring at Wen Zhuyu's face, "You're still laughing!"

"This old man can't do it!"

Wen Zhuyu was more happy, "Come, come, don't rush, go inside and have a cup of tea first."

The two walked into the study room again. Nian Chengfeng had just packed up the memorials on the desk, and when he turned around, he saw the frustration on Qian Guodong's face.

"Stuck?"

Qian Guodong sat down on the stool, "Just a few guidelines... I can't figure out how to integrate the current laws of Ningguo into those guidelines after thinking about it!"

He spread his hands, "I can't blend in at all!"

"All the existing laws run counter to these guidelines. If they have to be placed within the framework of the guidelines...then all the laws of our Ning country have to be amended!"

"Don't talk about this matter alone, even if you give it to hundreds of people, you still can't figure it out!"

Wen Zhuyu listened and made a pot of tea.

"Old Qian, amending a brand new law, which is still the highest law, how can this be done overnight!"

"You're too urgent. Let's do this... For this matter, the central government has set up a legislative department in the Ministry of Punishment. The regent is too hasty. He can only draw up such a program. As for how to improve it, as for how to improve it." Time, the regent knows the difficulty, so he didn't set a time."

"Three to five years is not enough, then 30 years to 50 years!"

"Two generations if one generation fails, and three generations if two generations fail!"

"The children and grandchildren are endless, and there will always be a day to perfect it."

Qian Guodong was startled immediately, he pondered for three breaths, and suddenly asked a question:
"Please tell me the truth. I have thought about this thing. If it is really perfect, I will implement it... I think it will cause a big change!"

"This is the proposition put forward by the Regent. He can understand the beauty of it, but others can't!"

"Especially the new emperor... If the regent really welcomes back the eldest son of the emperor, and the eldest son ascends the throne as emperor, only to find that the power belonging to the emperor is gone... What do you think he will do?"

"He wants to abolish this thing, you and all the ministers in the court, can you object?"

"Do you dare to object?!"

Nian Chengfeng stroked his beard, "Old Qian, don't think about it so much, you're getting old, take your time."

"No, if you don't explain clearly to the old man today, I won't go to the Legislative Department after a year!"

"Isn't it more comfortable for the old man to hang out, drink tea in the teahouse, and chat with tea drinkers?"

Wen Zhuyu poured two cups of tea and handed them over, looking at Nian Chengfeng.

Nian Chengfeng sighed leisurely, "Old man Qian, do you think the program established by the regent is correct?"

Qian Guodong pondered for a moment, "It's too ideal, it doesn't fit reality!"

Nian Chengfeng didn't deny it, he even nodded:
"Ideals require generations of people to strive for them!"

"It really doesn't fit reality, but you have to admit that if the mutual restraint of power...including imperial power is realized! Then this can solve the corruption of officials from the root, and it can also avoid the fault of one person and the whole country to the greatest extent. bear!"

"That's the beauty of it."

"It's just that people are selfish, and no one wants the power in their hands to be supervised and restrained."

"And the purpose of the state to give these people power is to hope that they will use their talents to seek a better future for the country and the people."

"However, if you look at the history of thousands of years, power without restraint will eventually become a means for them to collect money, and the end result is that corruption is rampant and out of control!"

"What goes up must go down!"

"So it's dark, and in the eyes of ordinary people, there will be no more faint light, because such light will be quickly extinguished by the darkness!"

"There is only one result... Destroy the country! Change the dynasty!"

"The Regent says that absolute power corrupts absolutely! So why not put that power in a cage?"

Qian Guodong opened his mouth:

"The old man admits that this is its benefit, but the old man thinks this step is too big!"

"It's still the old man's words just now. If it is implemented, where will the emperor be placed?"

"Didn't the Regent make the Imperial City Division responsible for monitoring all officials? Isn't that good? The Imperial City Division is independent from the six ministries, and is not under the jurisdiction of the three provinces. They only obey the Regent or the future emperor."

"With their supervision, even if the administration of officials cannot be completely clear, at least corruption can be prevented to the greatest extent possible!"

Wen Zhuyu smiled slightly, "Actually, when the regent brought up this matter, the old man and I also refuted it with points similar to yours, but he finally convinced us."

"...what did he say?"

"He said that the test of the rule of man is human nature, and human nature is the most elusive thing that can change with changes in the environment at any time."

"But the rule of law is different."

"It's cold, it's heartless, and it never changes!"

"The transition from the rule of man to the rule of law is an extremely long process, and it requires certain conditions."

"It is indeed difficult not to have such conditions at the moment, but there are two advantages to implementing this matter."

"First, let the thinkers in the world think about it, maybe they can get some inspiration from it, and then some schools of thought will be born to study better methods, and let the students in the world think about the truth while reading."

"This is to open up the wisdom of the people."

"Secondly...he said, this is a seed."

"Perhaps there is no suitable soil for this seed to germinate, but after generations of people pursue and explore, perhaps one day, when the wisdom of the vast majority of people is opened, it will become a reality."

"He said...the road is long and long, we, we should search for it now!"

Qian Guodong's eyes widened immediately. He thought about what Wen Zhuyu said carefully, and after a while, he took a sip from the teacup.

He already understood the purpose of this move.

"The whole city knows about this now!"

"I'm afraid it won't be long before the whole country knows about it!"

"The officials of Ji Tai's family have not yet fallen. What I mean is, if those officials take advantage of this to attack the regent... He went to Shuzhou without bringing guards, so don't underestimate Ji Tai these years. The powerful strength of those partisans cultivated!"

"Well...the regent also has the idea of ​​killing them all."

Qian Guodong looked at Wen Zhuyu, and asked almost the same words as Zhong Lisu: "Why does the regent commit such a dangerous crime?"

Wen Zhuyu pondered for a moment, "He said, since it's going to rain, it's better to have a heavy rain."

"Rinse away all the filth, and exchange for a new look in the world."

"...Many people will die! Where do people from all levels of government come from?"

"Mr. Chunfu has many old students. Although they are a little older, they are all people with real talents and practical learning. The regent has visited them."

"The place where it rains..."

Qian Guodong didn't wait for Wen Zhuyu to answer, he tapped his hand on the table: "It must be Jiangnan!"
