All the officials nodded in agreement.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with interest and said, "Wei Zheng, what do you say?"

Wei Zheng's expression remained unchanged, he looked at Li Jiancheng firmly and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Wen of the former dynasty was indeed a good emperor, but at the same time, he was also the one who caused the collapse of the Sui Dynasty..."

There was another uproar in the Xiande Hall, and the order in the court hall was somewhat chaotic.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "May I ask how many memorials His Majesty can review in one day?"

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe around a hundred copies."

Wei Zheng raised two fingers and said, "Menxia Province receives no less than five hundred copies of memorials every day, and the various official documents received in three months can fill a room. Dare I ask Your Majesty, if there are no three provinces and six departments, how can we sort them out?" All kinds of official documents, [-] official documents a day, can your majesty see it?"

Li Jiancheng pursed his lips and shook his head: "I can't, even if I don't eat or drink, I can do it occasionally, but I can't do it every day!"

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was able to see it and comment on it one by one."

Li Jiancheng sighed sincerely: "Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty is a role model for my generation!"

Wei Zheng smiled coldly: "It is precisely because of this that Sui Dynasty II died."

Hearing this, Manchu was in an uproar.

Even Li Jiancheng almost choked on his own saliva.

Wei Zheng continued: "Yang Jian's biggest mistake was that he took charge of the state affairs by himself, leaving aside the prime ministers who assisted him in handling state affairs, deprived the prime minister of the right to make decisions and govern affairs, and even later refused to appoint Prime Minister. One husband alone, with the power to control the world. This point must have been clear to the Prime Minister. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty established three provinces and six ministries, and the prime minister was divided into several parts. He had the right to make suggestions, but he no longer had the ability to lead the government. "

Pei Ju, Wang Gui and the others looked at each other tacitly.

Li Jiancheng said suspiciously: "Why did Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty do this?"

All the officials bowed their heads and remained silent.

Li Jiancheng frowned and thought about it.Suddenly, Li Jiancheng suddenly remembered that Yang Jian did not have a prime minister, and regarded the three provinces and six ministries as decorations. Because Yang Jian was not in the right position, Li Jiancheng's face suddenly changed. He pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Zheng, are you mocking me, that the position is not right?"

Feng Deyi and Yuwen Shiji glanced at each other, then looked at Wei Zheng with playful eyes.

Fang Xuanling's forehead was sweating immediately.

But Wei Zheng said loudly: "Your Majesty's position is not upright at all, this is a fact known to the world, why should I insinuate?"

Li Jiancheng's face turned black immediately.

Feng Deyi simply closed his eyes and rested his mind. Wei Zheng was originally Li Jiancheng's lackey, but now he and Li Jiancheng are biting each other, dog biting dog, he just happened to be having fun.

Fang Xuanling winked at Wei Zheng from a distance.

Chen Ying was also secretly anxious.

Wei Zheng continued persistently: "What I really want to say today is not that Yang Jian was not in the right position, but that his leadership was arbitrary. This is the fundamental reason for the demise of the Sui Dynasty."

Li Jiancheng pursed his lips and looked at Wei Zheng helplessly.

Wei Zhengdao: "Yang Jian is the founding emperor of the country. He set a precedent for the emperor to rule the world by himself. This precedent finally destroyed the Sui Dynasty. Although Yang Jian is a sage and a wise lord, he is also an out-and-out-a generation of independent husbands. "

Feng Deyi suddenly opened his eyes.

Yuwen Shiji gave Feng Deyi a puzzled look.

Gao Shilian frowned.

Wei Zhengdao: "When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian was in power, these hidden dangers were still hidden under the surface of the water. When Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty came here, the disasters of the country's government affairs broke out together."

Li Jiancheng listened carefully to Wei Zheng's words, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Chen Ying slowly approached the front, the words in the court today were too shocking, he was really worried, the hall was stained with blood.

Wei Zheng turned to look at the ministers and said, "Everyone must know that before Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty made his grand trip, what was handed over to Yang Guang was a country that could be called affluent. The Xingluo warehouse next to Luoshui had enough reserves for the people of the whole country to eat. The grain of the past few years; the silk and silk stockpiled in Luoyang piled up like a mountain; the stockpile of weapons and treasury in Chang'an has not been used up until now. Even after the Han Dynasty experienced the rule of Wenjing, the country's financial resources were not as good as The family property left by Yang Jian. But who would have thought..."

Wei Zheng's expression became more and more agitated, and he was so excited that he was about to growl and said, "13 years...13 years, the Sui Dynasty was so huge that it disappeared into thin air? Why? Why did a foolish king cause such a dynasty to die suddenly?"

Wei Zheng spread his hands, looked around at all the officials, and then turned around to face Li Jiancheng.

There was silence in the hall.

Wei Zhengdao: "This is still the curse planted by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. The power of Kyushu falls into the hands of only one person, whether it is the prime minister or Jiuqing, they are all lackeys, not even individuals."

Chen Yinghuo's wide eyes looked at Wei Zheng and thought to himself: "Wei Xuancheng, you are really kind!"

All the ministers also fell into deep thought.

Wei Zhengdao: "Yang Guang's three things of subjugation, the construction of the Eastern Capital, the construction of the canal, and the conquest of Koryo, are all actions that benefit the country and the people. It is a pity that these things that were done with the power of the whole country were all taken by the Sui Dynasty. The law of dictatorship created by Emperor Wen was completely destroyed. Emperor Sui Yang imitated his father and monopolized power, but he could not really manage all the big and small affairs of the country. This led to the de facto loss of power. All government affairs and state policies, As small as urging the people to plant land and pay donations, as large as building canals and conquering Korea, all of them are neglected and neglected. Disabled soldiers cannot receive pensions, disaster-stricken people cannot receive relief, and rebellious thieves, There is no one to suppress, and no one to control the flooded rivers.

Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Why all this?"

Wei Zhengdao: "The crux of all this is that ruling the world with one person is just a beautiful dream, and it simply doesn't work in reality."

Wei Zheng looked solemnly, and said to Li Jiancheng sincerely: "Your Majesty, it is common sense to listen to both to make you bright, and to listen to one side to make you dark. This is common sense. The world can be owned by one family, but it can never be ruled by one family. No matter how powerful a person is, It also cannot take care of the common people in the world, so if the world is to be governed, the first thing that must be restricted is the supreme imperial power."

There was commotion in the hall again, and the officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Feng Deyi opened his eyes slightly, but immediately stopped talking.

Li Jiancheng stood up abruptly, with a livid face, pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Zheng, are you looking for a family leader?"

Wei Zheng turned to look at the ministers and said, "Wei Zheng wants to ask His Majesty and you, what is a scholar-bureaucrat?"

A playful smile appeared on Yu Wenhuaji's face and said: "Scholar-bureaucrats, of course it refers to the world's aristocratic families and famous county officials. They are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Zheng sneered and said, "Yuwen Xiangguo really doesn't like reading."

Yu Wenhuaji's face suddenly darkened.

Wei Zhengdao: "The so-called scholar is the general term for the scholars who traveled with swords in the pre-Qin period; the so-called doctor is the collective term for the subjects of the princes and princes in the pre-Qin period. Among the two, the former is a commoner and the latter is a servant. They are considered real nobles. Scholar-bureaucrats have nothing to do with the world’s elite. Before the Warring States Period, there were only senior officials, but since the beginning of the Warring States Period, scholars who were born in common people, relying on their talents and abilities, have become princes and ministers, and scholar-bureaucrats have come from this.”

Yu Wenhua and the old man blushed, and roared hysterically: "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

But Wang Gui stood up quietly and bowed: "Your Majesty, what Wei Zheng said is true. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are the four people appointed by Guan Zhong. Since they are lined up with the third-class common people such as peasants, businessmen, and businessmen, scholars are also...common people. list."

Li Jiancheng said, "Wei Zheng, what exactly do you want to say?"

Wei Zheng bowed to Li Jiancheng and said: "I believe that your Majesty's election as a scholar, practicing the kingly way, accepting advice, constantly introspecting, respecting the power of the prime minister, and governing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, this is the fundamental way for the Tang Dynasty to be peaceful and the world Changan. .”

Chen Ying silently recited Wei Zheng's words: "Practice the king's way, accept advice, often introspect, respect the power of the prime minister, and rule the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats..."

Li Jiancheng murmured thoughtfully to himself: "Choose scholars, practice the kingly way, accept advice, often introspect, respect the power of the prime minister, and rule the world together with the scholars and bureaucrats."

Gao Shilian looked at Wei Zheng in astonishment.
