Lu Dynasty

Chapter 355 Xu Chang Came to Envoy
Guo Jia was very puzzled when he heard what I said, because I kept saying good things about the Fajia, so he asked, "Could it be that my lord really wants the Fajia to rule the country?"

"I said a long time ago, why do we have to use which family to govern the country?" I asked Guo Jia: "The people of Qin ruled the country purely with legalism. After Han Gaozu ruled the country, he had no laws? He still had nine rules. Isn’t this also the law? I use Confucianism to educate people’s hearts and improve the moral quality of the people. That’s why I asked Guan Ning and Bing Yuan to educate people between the ages of six and 15, because this age is the easiest to be educated. They It’s like a blank sheet of paper. If I instill Confucian moral concepts into them, they will be able to distinguish right from wrong, and they will pass these things on to the next generation. In fact, Legalism and Confucianism are exactly like They are two rooms, and the difference between them is only as thin as a wall. For example, if I hit someone with a stick on the road, and the stick only causes bruises on the other person, then the other person can only say that I have low morals. But I always If I hit him hard with a stick and beat him to death, then I have violated the law. Can Feng Xiao understand what I said?"

Guo Jia said: "The meaning of the lord is to use Confucianism to improve the morality of the people and let them know what behaviors are good and what behaviors are bad. The people will naturally do good behaviors. But there are still people who know it is wrong." If you still do bad behavior, then you have to rely on the law to regulate them! Is that what you mean?"

"That's exactly what it means!" I laughed and said, "But there is another problem that the imperial power can change the law without authorization! So we must also limit the imperial power to the law. The emperor can't change the law without authorization, so as to avoid the invalidation of the law. It's like Hu Hai's abuse of people's power. This should have been an illegal act, but because Hu Hai is the emperor, the law has no binding force on him. Slowly, Qin Law lost its original deterrent and coercive power. As a result, Qin Law The court will perish!"

"According to what my lord said, having an emperor will inevitably lead to a change of dynasty. Unless the emperor is wise and takes the initiative to abide by the law, otherwise the imperial power will be restricted!" Guo Jia wondered: "But a wise monarch is rare in a hundred years. It's not that easy. What will the lord do?"

I smiled and said, "Why do you think so far away now? Even if you want to limit the imperial power, you have to wait until the country is unified. At that time, I must have a way to limit the imperial power! Besides, I have so many powerful resourceful people like you to help me. On the day when the world is unified, are you still worried that we will not be able to reasonably limit the imperial power and at the same time guarantee the majesty and status of the royal family!"

Guo Jia listened to my words, nodded with a smile and said: "In this case, let's unify the big men first! The lord told me so much today, I have to go back and sort it out. Every time I talk to the lord, it makes me feel different. I really don’t know who the lord learned from! If it’s possible, I really want to meet the lord’s husband!”

"Hey! Don't you see my husband every day?" I smiled and said, "Except for Jia Xu, there is only one person who has taught me knowledge and skills, and that is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu! If you want to see him, it is very unlikely. Already." Of course what you learned in your previous life doesn't count!

Guo Jia curled her lips in disdain and said, "I'm a scribe, what do I see the Overlord do! As for Jia Xu, although his resourcefulness is not inferior to mine, I can tell that he doesn't have the knowledge of the Lord. Since the Lord is not willing to Say, I don't ask!"

"It's not that I don't want to say it, even if I say it, you won't believe it!" I can't tell Guo Jia that I traveled to the Han Dynasty from 800 years later, even if I told him so, he would definitely not believe it.I smiled and said, "Maybe I'll tell you later, but by then, don't say I lied to you, because it's also a very bizarre story!"

Seeing my expression, Guo Jia knew the truth of what I said. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Forget it! I know my lord will not deceive me intentionally. Since you said so, I will wait to hear your bizarre story." It's getting late, if the lord doesn't go back, the mistresses will come looking for you. My reputation as the prodigal son of Guo is not very good!"

"Fuck you!" I laughed and cursed at Guo Jia, and the two of them left Jimin Restaurant together and headed for their own mansion.Dian Wei was also sent home by me on vacation.

A few days later, I was taking Liu Bian and Guo Jia to discuss the reform and the recent college enrollment in my territory. Suddenly, a small school reported that there was an envoy from Cao outside Hulao Pass. Guan Yu asked me if I would let him go.Guo Jia said: "Cao's envoy, my lord, it's better to meet him. Let's see what trick Cao is trying to play this time!" Anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat when I meet Cao's envoy.If he dares to make me unhappy, I will put him in the frying pan.

The envoy Cao sent this time was Man Chong Man Boning, who was very surprised that I agreed to meet him.Because Cao sent envoys to me several times, only once I sent someone to listen to the envoy's intentions before driving the envoy away.The other envoys were basically driven away by my people before explaining their purpose.This time I actually met him without even asking why he came, which surprised Man Chong.

When Man Chong entered the palace, he saw me sitting on the dragon chair in the middle and staring at him, with a few people who looked like counselors standing beside him.Liu Bian was also on the list, but Man Chong didn't know him.I smiled and asked Man Chong: "What is the important thing for your envoy to come to Luoyang? Let me explain first, if what you said makes me unhappy, I have already prepared a frying pan for you! Others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him! "

"Since the general is not afraid of my lord, why bother to scare me!" Man Chong laughed and said, "I just brought the imperial edict from His Majesty, ennobling the general as General and Marquis of Jin, and hoping that the general can pay tribute to His Majesty!"

"General, Marquis of Jin!" I laughed and said, "Brother Meng De is quite generous, he just gave me a Marquis of ten thousand households! But, what does he want me to pay? Can I, Marquis of Jin, get a salary from him?"

Man Chong was a little dizzy when he heard what I said, there are still people who still need a salary after they have won the Marquis of Wanhu.Man Chong smiled and said: "The general won the title of Marquis of Wanhu, of course he has to express it to His Majesty. As for the tribute, it naturally depends on the general's sincerity, preferably something rare! As for the salary, I believe that General Lu will definitely not lack some Pay rice."

"So Liu Xie wants to take advantage of me by giving me an empty title!" I laughed and said, "However, a title is also a good thing! Come on! Prepare a thousand shi of corn as a tribute to His Majesty the puppet emperor of Xuchang! "
