Chapter Twenty-Four: Shocking Remarks Cen Wenwen is very pleased, Li Zhen before is excellent, especially in terms of vision, the vision is far-reaching, there is no one before, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future, with a king who can see far enough, it is difficult for those countries to be underdeveloped.
But Li Zhen is not without shortcomings, that is, he attaches too much importance to affection, which is unqualified for a king, the monarch can't trust anyone, let alone pour his feelings into anyone, including his own son - this Li Shimin is very qualified, he seems to have unlimited support for Li Zhen, let Li Zhen control the command of hundreds of thousands of troops, but to say that Li Zhen has not been planted by him, Cen Wenwen doesn't believe it.
But Li Zhen can't do this, for his henchmen and ministers, he believes unconditionally, for those who are good to themselves, they can't do it to unload the mill and kill the donkey, this is very bad, the reason why the king is ruthless is to build a line of defense in his heart, so that his king's heart can not be lacking, and the Buddha's full forehead is very easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy.
Now it seems that Li Zhen has realized his shortcomings, and he has put them into action and is slowly correcting them, once he corrects the defects in his heart, coupled with his advanced vision......
No one knows where his limits are.
Cen Wenwen doesn't know how far the Tang Dynasty will go under the leadership of Li Zhen, but it can be expected that once Li Zhen becomes an emperor, he will become a saint of the ages who far surpasses the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and even surpasses his father, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty will also far surpass the Han Dynasty, which is unparalleled in the world.
"What about the family and Confucianism?"
Shaking off the messy thoughts in his heart, Cen Wenwen continued to ask: "The family and Confucianism have framed His Highness in every possible way, and now that they have all declined, His Highness wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue?"
” "Forget about the family."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "This king does not mean to kill everything, although the family is not good, but one thing cannot be denied, that is, the family has been inherited for thousands of years, and the heritage is profound, and it also represents the essence of my Yanhuang culture, if this king destroys them, it is cutting off the roots of my Chinese culture, it is easy to break the roots, but if you want to recover again, I don't know how many years it will take."
Of course, this king is not a good man, and if the family wants to live, they must agree to this king's condition. ” "On what terms?"
Cen Wenwen asked subconsciously.
"Separation."
"Separation?"
Cen Wenwen was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Wonderful, people have selfish personalities, they were one and the same before, so they will naturally consider the big family."
But if they are separated, that big family will be divided into dozens or even hundreds of families, each with its own ideas.
In this way, even if the family wants to merge in the future, the hearts of the various houses will not be able to go together.
And now is a good time to use this trick, as long as our attitude is tougher, with the decline of the family today, they can't help but listen. ” "Hmph, as long as the family is separated, the family will no longer exist, and we will not be allowed to pinch and flatten?"
Li Zhen also smiled: "In another ten years, the world will no longer have the concept of a family, and from now on, the Tang Dynasty will be at least more than half peaceful." ” "Your Highness is wise."
Cen Wenwen was really convinced this time.
"What about Confucianism?"
"Confucianism......
Don't mention it.
Speaking of Confucianism, Li Zhen's complexion changed and became angry: "There will be no more Confucianism in the future......
If it is said that the family is looking for trouble because they have moved their cheese, and the Buddhists are looking for trouble because they are Taoist disciples, then Confucianism is really looking for their own trouble.
I have never attacked Confucianism in public, although my actions are indeed not in line with Confucian teachings, and if I succeed to the throne in the future, it may affect the dominance of Confucianism, but it is only possible, because of this, Confucianism came to find trouble for himself, and he also joined with the family and wanted his own life - your reaction was a little too radical, right?
Besides, learning literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family - no matter how good Confucianism is, it is only a courtier, and no matter how he is not, he is also a king, and now the courtiers are interfering with the monarch's actions for their own selfish interests, and even want to kill the monarch, so that the school that can already fight against the master, what is the use of coming?
It's better to just push it back and start over.
"What does Your Highness mean by this?"
Cen Wenwen was shocked: "Could it be that His Highness is ready to depose Confucianism?"
Your Royal Highness, although there are all kinds of wrongs with Confucianism, they are the same as the family, they are also the masters of Chinese civilization, if they are abolished, I am afraid it will not be beneficial to my Tang Dynasty. ” "I didn't say I wanted to depose Confucianism."
Seeing this, Li Zhen said slowly: "Of course I will not depose Confucianism, what I want is to abolish all the classics derived from Confucianism, restore the purest Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then lead hundreds of schools into the court to compete with Confucianism." ” "This ......
Your Highness may not.
Cen Wenwen was even more shocked, and hurriedly persuaded: "In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was because there were many schools in the court, and the various schools fought with each other, resulting in the instability of the court and the delay of government affairs, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved his courage to depose the rest of the hundred schools of learning, leaving only Confucianism - although Confucianism has such and such problems, but one thing cannot be denied, compared with the other hundred schools of thought, the golden mean of Confucianism is the most suitable school to control the world. ” Li Zhen unceremoniously squirted: "That's because Emperor Wu of Han is too lazy, or he is too bold." ” "Your Highness is cautious."
Cen Wenwen was startled, and hurriedly looked around, and saw that no one was listening, so he whispered: "Your Highness, why do you dare to say anything?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty doesn't have the courage yet?
If he didn't have the courage, how could he send troops to the Huns and seal the wolf?
” "Of course, I know that he is very brave in war, but he is only a little more powerful in war, and he really wants to talk about the ability to govern the country......
Gee.
Speaking of this, Li Zhen was speechless: "Don't say that I look down on him, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's ability to govern the country is estimated to be in the top ten among all the emperors in China." ” The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to rank alongside Qin Shi Huang and Li Shimin was that he destroyed the Xiongnu and felt that the Xiongnu went to Europe, but this war also completely emptied the treasury of the Han Dynasty and completely destroyed the family wealth saved by his grandfather and his father - during the Wenjing period, the imperial court admired Huang Lao's governance technique, adopted the policy of "lightly repaying the thin endowment" and "resting with the people", and attached importance to "turning the people into virtues".
Therefore, in the later period of Emperor Jing, the granary of the country was full, and a large number of copper coins in the treasury were not used for many years, so that the rope that wore the money was rotten, and the scattered money was too much to calculate, which shows how rich the treasury was at that time.
