There is no one in the spacious Gyeongbokgung Palace, only three monarchs, ministers and one loyal servant. There is a faint chill in the hall, as if even the autumn tiger is afraid of the ferocious beast entrenched here.

Kou Zhun seemed to have figured out the temper of the beast, and talked eloquently to Zhao Zhen: "Since the Han Dynasty, there has been a response from heaven and man. When people do things on earth, heaven will respond. The more powerful people are, the more they do things." Obviously, Han Confucian Dong Zhongshu said: Disasters are punished by Heaven; disasters are caused by Heaven's majesty! Those who are condemned without knowing it are called prestige. For all disasters and unusual events, emperors will issue edicts to appease the people. Why do you think this is?”

Zhao Zhen looked at his father who was sitting on the bed and began to hesitate. Of course he knew why, but he was afraid of speaking truthfully and going against Confucianism.

"Yi'er says whatever comes to his mind. There are no outsiders here." Zhao Heng could see his son's thoughts at a glance. He didn't want to offend Kou Zhun but wanted to express his own thoughts.

"My son thinks this is the restraint of the scholar-bureaucrats on the imperial power!"

Kou Zhun's eyes burst out with light. Unexpectedly, the prince actually revealed the small tricks involved. The scholar-bureaucrats intentionally or unintentionally promoted the imperial power in order to limit the supremacy of the imperial power. The childish appearance of the prince made him secretly sigh, if he inherits the throne, Tong is either a holy emperor or an ignorant and ignorant king!

Zhao Hengque said with a smile: "Yier, go on and tell me your own opinion!"

At this time, Kou Zhun was extremely nervous. He was afraid that the prince would say unethical words, which would affect the future direction of the entire Song Dynasty. Even if there was time to change, he was afraid that it would have little effect.

Zhao Zhen looked at the expectant father and nervous Kou Zhun and smiled slightly, and said confidently: "I believe that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility! The power of an ordinary man is to work, and the responsibility is to support the family. The power of the judge in Kaifeng Prefecture is It is to arrest thieves and eliminate evil, and his duty is to maintain the peace of the capital. As an official, Kou Xianggong has power over the government and the opposition, and his duty is to assist the officials!

There are no absolute rights and no absolute obligations in the world, even for emperors. If used well, water can carry a boat, but if used poorly, water can capsize a boat!"

Kou Zhun on the side had already begun to tremble and looked at Chen Lin with blank eyes. He was shocked by the prince's theory of rights. Such a few concise sentences could explain the meaning of human life.

It is simply known from birth! This statement is close to the existence of Tao, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is the law of heaven!

Zhao Heng is very happy now. He even feels that even if he goes to see Taizu Taizong now, he can explain it. His son will definitely be able to make up for the mistakes he made before.

"What the prince said is a revelation, but how do you get people to perform their duties and do their own thing?" Kou Zhun asked curiously, and even Zhao Heng looked at him.

"Without him, the law must be sound and the government must be impartial!"

Kou Zhun nodded in disappointment: "That's the only way."

He thought of this method before Zhao Zhen said the answer. It seems that this is the only solution!

"Taizu and Taizong all said that they shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, especially the officials. Why is this?"

Kou Zhun's words were like a knife. Although they were not life-threatening, they made Zhao Zhen feel as painful as a dull knife cutting flesh! The constant suppression of military generals by civilian officials made Zhao Zhen feel sick.

This is a disease that needs to be cured! He really couldn't figure out why civil servants would exclude military generals in this way, and even famous ministers like Kou Zhun were not immune.

Looking at his father who was half-smiling but not smiling, Zhao Zhen suddenly woke up. There was no other person like Taizu wearing a yellow robe! His ability was inspected by the Supreme Commander of the Forbidden Army in the following weeks.

Although Taizu ended the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, he himself also relied on mutiny to seize power. Of course, he suppressed military generals even more. However, the officials of the Song Dynasty still relied on military generals to guard the borders. They could only put civilian officials above military generals and give the generals wives.

The glory of the shadow.

"Ms. Kou is forcing me to express my position!" Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly and looked at his father.

Facing his son's request for help, Zhao Heng smiled and said, "You think the Prime Minister is forcing you, but I want to tell you that the reasons for the demise of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were all due to the excessive military power of the generals. Think about what happened in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Is this emperor extremely stupid and unprincipled?"

"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty!" Zhao Zhen answered without thinking.

Kou Zhun and Zhao Heng shook their heads together, obviously they disagreed with Zhao Zhen's statement.

"Yi'er still hasn't read enough history books. Judging from the situation at the time, it was a wise move for Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo in the north. He led his own troops to attack Goguryeo in order to return in triumph, carrying a thundering force.

Sweeping the family

clan! At that time, the aristocratic families had seriously affected the rule of the Sui Dynasty. The annexation of land had reached the point where neighbors complained, but their children were everywhere in the court. At this time, the only way to cut off the mess was with a strong man's wrist-cutting technique!"

Zhao Zhen looked at his father blankly. He didn't expect that his understanding of history was so minute. He was so impressed that he raised his hand to squeeze Zhao Zhen's shoulders. This was truly from the bottom of his heart.

I admire my father's meticulousness.

But what his father said next shocked him even more: "Scholar-officials and military generals, land and commerce are like yin and yang, converting each other. If the scholar-officials are strong, the military generals will be weak, and vice versa. The emphasis on agriculture suppresses business. This is like Tai Chi.

When yang is strong, yin is weak, and when it is strong for a while

Then turn to Yin. The most important thing about the cycle of the two is how you control it! A capable minister does not necessarily have good conduct, and a gentleman does not necessarily have the ability to govern the country. Yi'er, remember that a sage king is not afraid of treacherous ministers, but a coward is afraid. You have to use it well.

But a capable minister cannot be led astray by him!"

He shouted the last sentence almost at the top of his lungs.

Kou Zhanzhi nodded silently on the side. He and Zhao Heng were old partners. Together they helped the Song Dynasty advance, went to the battlefield, and enjoyed the Xianping rule. When he saw Zhao Heng's eyes, he said: "Emperor Sui Yang

His achievements are indelible, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal played a vital role in the Song Dynasty! It is a pity that he failed to make a triumphant return with the power of thunder.

The Tang Dynasty also failed to eliminate the threat of aristocratic families. Even the heroes of the Tang Dynasty Taizong could not destroy them. Isn’t the Changsun family and the Yuchi family the ministers of chaos? Look at the current Song Dynasty? Have you ever seen a wealthy family?

Even if there is an aristocratic family, it is just the Kong family in Shandong, and even the Sanhuai Wang family is just a scholarly family. If you let your granddaughter come forward for the sake of a mansion, does this count as a family? "

Zhao Zhen has become numb. His father's dialectics and Kou Zhun's overall view are at a height that he cannot reach: "The reason why the Song Dynasty had no powerful families was because it took away the military power of the generals, and the emphasis on commerce and suppression of agriculture was to deal with land annexation?"

"

Zhao Heng softened his weak smile and said: "Well, yes, Yi'er is very close. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! Why were the history books of the previous dynasties compiled by the later dynasties? Is Emperor Sui Yang a fool? No,

He's nothing but a loser!"

Zhao Zhen nodded. This is a fact. Although there is a custom of not compiling history in this dynasty, people say that compiling history will destroy the country. In fact, it is useless to revise it. In order to maintain the rule, the dynasty that replaces it will definitely copy and rewrite it!

This is the right of the victor! It is also the moment to enjoy the glory. Throughout history, the founding kings are all heroes. They turn the tide and prop up the building before it collapses. The further they go, the more they become incompetent. Even the masters of ZTE are very few.
