Zhao Mengjin's words made all the generals in the hall frightened. They also knew that what they had done violated the country's laws and military disciplines. Although they were punished and would not die, if they were bitten by the officials, it would be a very troublesome thing. It would be inevitable that they would lose their official position and dismissal. Since then, everything that has been won in the battle on the battlefield will be wasted, which made them unwilling to accept it.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates understand that the national law is ruthless and the military law is like a furnace, but there are many unscrupulous ones!" Chen Fenglin thought of getting up and bowing to the emperor, and said with a bitter face.

"I understand too!" Zhao Bing pressed his hand and asked him to sit down, raised his glass to invite everyone to drink, and then took the wine jar to fill everyone with them, "Do you think you didn't read the calendar today? You thought it was a good banquet for the king and his ministers to reminisce about the past and relive the old feelings, but it turned out to be a Hongmen banquet that fell into the trap of self-entertainment!"

"I dare not wait!" Everyone laughed and waved their hands repeatedly, but their hearts were also ups and downs. I wonder if the emperor was joking or was going to take them down in one fell swoop.

"Look at your appearance. If Your Majesty wants to take you down, why choose here?" Zhao Mengjin didn't know what they were thinking at the moment, and said with a sneer, "If Your Majesty had not kept the memorial to you and never posted it, you could still sit here and drink, and you would have been reminiscing in the prison!"

"Oh..." Zhao Bing looked at the generals but sighed, and said with a wry smile, "You are so unconfident in me, and you will do something to deceive yourself and seek self-protection?"

Zhao Bing did not study history well in his previous life, but he could not stand the far end of the history of thousands of years. He heard too many allusions and legends of "the cunning rabbit died and the lackeys" and "the same difficulties, but not as wealth." And the true history is indeed the case. The founding emperor killed his brothers in distress.

Since Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng established the "emperor system", the emperor has been the supreme ruler in the world and is inviolable; the throne can only be passed down in the family, and the rest of the people must not be involved, otherwise it will be a ruthless person and everyone will be punished. That being said, the temptation of the throne is too great that many heroes are coveting this position.

Therefore, the greatest threat to the emperor is the heroes. In order to firmly stand firm and deal with the threats of heroes, they often take various measures to weaken their power. In order to completely eliminate the threat, of course, the best way is to eliminate these heroes who have achieved great success from the body.

When Zhao Bing first entered society, he understood the common sense that "there are policies from above and countermeasures from below". Generally speaking, some of the great heroes in history can stand out from thousands of troops and survive from the dead. They must have outstanding points. They are definitely not ordinary people or fools. In order to protect themselves, they have to find ways.

So by self-deprecating oneself, one only needs a set of costumes in life, and those who seek self-protection are drama masters. The more you hide your strength, the more vulgar it is; the more you are in danger, the more you are in danger, the more you are in danger, the more you are in poverty, the more you are in poverty, the more you are in poverty, the more you are in poverty, the more you are in poverty, the more you are in danger, the more you are in poverty, the more you are in evil, what is the official position?

Zhao Bing has to admire the wisdom of those darlings of the times.

After Xinling Jun stole the talisman to save Zhao, he was suspected by the King of Wei. At the peak of his life, he decisively braked, "I am happy with the guests for a long night, bringing mellow wine, and getting close to women." In the past, he was so generous that he led the young master, and thus he was a stingy person and became petty.

Wang Jian attacked Chu, and the King of Qin sent it to the top of the country. Wang Jian invited many people to be beautiful. These brave men and women were afraid of their future when they looked at the emperor and thought about their future. They had to ask for money and property to show that they had no long-term ambitions and were still in Qin, so that the king could sleep with peace of mind.

Xiao He was ranked first among all officials, and had strict elimination of accumulated problems, extensive benefits, and was cautious in his ability to be diligent and diligent, hate evil like hatred, love the people like his son, and treat the people as hurt. Liu Bang was extremely worried about him. So he followed the advice of his disciples, forcibly robbed the people's land and houses, exhausted the people's strength, and lost the people's hearts. The people's grievances were boiling for a while, and the reputation was destroyed from then on.

In order to eliminate Emperor Yang of Sui, Li Yuan even took bribes to obey himself. He drunk and accepted bribes every day, and openly accepted bribes to reduce his presence. The emperor believed that he had no intention of rebellion, so he let go of his horse, and then planned and achieved great achievements.

Li Xiaogong had the talent of a general and made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin was very suspicious of him. In order to protect himself, Li Xiaogong raised more than a hundred singers, singing, dancing, and having banquets every night. When he met Li Shimin, he said that the palace he had given him was too big and wanted to exchange big for small things, and seemed to be living a life.

Han Xizai was a Jinshi of the Later Tang Dynasty, and his writing and calligraphy were excellent. His father was executed for the incident and fled to the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was deeply favored by the Central Lord Li Jing. After the Later Lord Li Yu ascended the throne, he was humiliated and seeking peace in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was suspicious of officials from the north. In this case, Han Xizai, who was careless of wealth and conquered others, pretended to be corrupt in order to protect himself, and lived a drunken life and dreamed of death.

After Zeng Guofan suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, he was in power for a while. He was well versed in the officialdom, and in order to prevent his achievements, he attracted suspicion from the court. He was always cautious and self-disciplined. On the moral level, he married a concubine, received gifts, and lost his authority. He did many absurd things that violated the principles of being a human being. Some even said that he embezzled 200,000 ounces during his tenure as the governor of Zhili.

While promoting reform, Yi Li made a lot of money without any concealment, becoming the richest man in the Qing Dynasty in a high-profile manner, and showing his low-level interest in mellow wine and beauties, "The endless delicacies, the endless spending of money; the endless luxury, the endless power; the endless hymns, the endless gifts; the endless wealth, the endless New Year". All of these are to make Empress Dowager Cixi restless...

Zhao Bing used to think that the emperor was unrighteous, which led to the innocent defeat of loyal ministers and good generals. However, when he took the throne, especially when he had his first child, his mentality also changed. When he was happy, he was more helpless and sad, worried that he would be replaced. In order to fight for power, the father and son became enemies, and worried that the country he had captured was defeated in his hands.

However, Zhao Bing was a person from his previous life and quickly figured out the joints, which was almost an unsolvable problem. People often say that 'the position of the butt determines the head'. Under the emperor's butt is the country of the country, so for any emperor, ensuring the country of the country for generations is the top priority.

Therefore, the emperor's actions were first of all, and it was difficult for the emperor to escape the feudal autocratic circle. The emperor who could conquer the country had no mediocre talents. He knew that the people who fought the country were capable ministers, and the people who guarded the country were loyal ministers. The heroes under his command all had outstanding talents, either extraordinary strategies or brave and good at fighting.

However, once the emperor's butt sat on the dragon throne, their respective roles changed. In addition to possessing tangible assets such as military power and money, the heroes also have intangible assets such as prestige, talents and interpersonal relationships. The government's property can be handed over and abandoned. Intangible assets are difficult to remove, and these people are more difficult to manage. In this way, talents before the founding of the country may become a hidden danger after the founding of the country.

The emperor is not a god after all, and he cannot predict who is a loyal minister or who is a treacherous minister in the future. Solving this problem is like whether there is a chicken or an egg in the world. There is no correct standard answer, and it can only be guessing with confusion. Therefore, whether the heroes rebel or not naturally become the Poincaré conjecture that the emperors rack their brains to answer.

Zhao Bing sometimes thought about this issue and summarized it. Since Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and four seas, the dynasties that were unified by the Han people include the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty, which barely completed the unification of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty that did not appear at this time. Most of the founding heroes were: killing, offering, and appointing.

There are five conditions for different destinations: the age of the emperor ascending the throne; the quality of the emperor; the talent of the meritorious officials; the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, the relationship between the monarch and the party, whether the monarch and the ministers trust each other, and when the heroes defect to the monarch, etc.; in addition, it is the internal and external form of the country. When the enemy is in front of the enemy, the first thing to do is to deal with defense externally. When the country is peaceful, the primary contradiction becomes to deal with internal affairs.

Everyone knows that it is easy to conquer the country and difficult to defend the country. The founders of the empire must face the handover of power and how to deal with the relationship between the monarch and the ministers. The situation is different, and the emperors' practices are also different. In addition to Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, who have all the birds, have good bows, have cunning rabbits, have no choice but to kill meritorious officials, at least a few of them have done well.

Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, treated the founding heroes: high standards in life, power in government affairs, and honor in politics. Liu Xiu ordered people to draw portraits of the meritorious officials for their subordinates hanging in Lingyun Pavilion, known as the "Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai", which has become an eternal story of harmonious coexistence between the monarch and the ministers.

The founding lords of the Tang Dynasty treated great favorable treatment of heroes. Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin followed Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and ordered people to hang portraits of twenty-four meritorious officials in the Lingyan Pavilion of the palace, and often admired and reminiscent! "Lingyan Leave a Name" also became synonymous with ministers to make achievements and the king was named marquis and generals.

The Taizu of this dynasty Zhao Kuangyin created the unique trick of "releasing military power with a cup of wine". The tacit cooperation between the monarch and ministers resolved the disadvantages of the arbitrary abolition of the generals and the pride of the generals and the arbitrary establishment of the soldiers and lords since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The centralization also laid the foundation for the peak of the dynasty's autocratic economic development and culture. However, Zhao Kuangyin's national policy of "promoting culture and suppressing military power" also caused the generals to suffer enough, and the outcome was not so wonderful.

In Zhao Bing's opinion, the military generals of the Song Dynasty felt frustrated. The founding veterans lost their official positions after drinking a glass of wine, and had to leave their posts and spend their old age in fear. Although Di Qing, who was conquering Western Xia and quelling the rebellion in the southwest, had to sit down, was finally angry with the civil officials. Yue Fei, who was loyal to the country, was strangled to death at Fengbo Pavilion on false charges; Han Shizhong gave the party and thanked the guests, did not talk about military affairs, and traveled to the West Lake to enjoy himself.

On the contrary, those guys who were good at protecting themselves lived freely. Liu Guangshi was always afraid of the Jin army. Whenever he had an imperial edict, he tried to retreat and was still granted the title of prince after his death. Zhang Jun, who participated in the frame-up of Yue Fei, was able to be granted the title of king when he was alive. After his death, the emperor personally funered him.
