Great Tang Southern Emperor

Chapter 25 Title Jun Blind Date Went

Through the above data, we can know how much property Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left to him from his father and grandfather.

However, as the saying goes, wealth can't last for three generations, and Emperor Wen Jing's decades of accumulation were squandered by Emperor Wu early on.

Even in the late period of Emperor Wu, after the Huns were driven away, the treasury of the Han Dynasty was completely empty, and the people were struggling to survive. Peasant uprisings broke out many times across the country. public grievances.Even so, before the death of Emperor Wu, domestic conflicts were not completely reversed, and the country was completely stabilized when it was in the hands of his son Emperor Zhao Liu Fuling.

Of course, it’s not that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty’s political level was not good, but that he devoted himself to fighting wars while ignoring the construction of the people’s livelihood in the country, and he didn’t know how to make money, which eventually led to all this. The scale is not lower than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the bigger the Tang Dynasty, the richer it is. Not only has it occupied a large amount of territory, but also the money in its hands has been increasing. Compared with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is not only higher.

Li Zhen continued: "The reason why I said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not courageous in the country is not without reason. His advocacy of Confucianism did avoid chaos in the court, but you cannot deny that because the Confucian family is dominant, this led to Later, Confucianism changed completely.

Because Confucianism is in charge of the court, other schools cannot develop, and Confucianism itself has developed too prosperously, and finally became what it is today-Sir, believe it or not, if we ignore Confucianism and let them develop, they will It will definitely become a cancer in the end. "

"This..." Cen Wenwen remained silent, without Li Zhen asking, with Cen Wenwen's strategic vision, how could he fail to see that Confucianism is no longer pure Confucianism, but a collection of interests, which is no longer what it used to be. It is one of the two great schools of thought for the country and the people.

"Today's Confucianism can already dare to take the life of this king for a little inheritance. Do you think, sir, that when the scale of Confucianism expands again, will they dare to change the monarch?" Li Zhen asked coldly. Confucianism is not favored at all. Today's Confucianism is said to be Confucianism, but in fact it has nothing to do with the Confucianism founded by Confucius.

And Li Zhen knew that in the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism was not too much. After another 200 years, in the Song Dynasty, after Zhao Kuangyin worshiped literature and suppressed martial arts, Confucianism entered a period of rapid development, and the direct result was With the emergence of the monster Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, Confucianism has completely become a freak.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Confucianism became more excessive, and there were many factions. They no longer regarded the imperial court as the object of allegiance. With the last breath of vitality, Emperor Chongzhen was forced to hang Meishan to death.

This is the inevitable result of the development of Confucianism to the end—it is also the drawback of academic monopoly.

Emperor Wu of the Han took a trick to depose a hundred families, leaving only one family, which was indeed a lot more convenient for the management of the court, but in the long run, it was not good for the country.Therefore, for the healthy development of the Tang Dynasty, it is very necessary to restart the prodigal family, but Cen Wenwen's worries are not unreasonable. The entry of a hundred families into the court means that there are different voices in the court, and the hundreds of families fight each other. It is also unfavorable for Datang.

But it's not that there is no solution. Isn't the Huaxia of later generations just paying attention to performing their duties?

Gongjia (scientists and workers) are responsible for technology research and development and production, military strategists (soldiers) only fight wars, legalists (ministry of justice and courts) are responsible for trials and revision of laws, peasants (farmers) are responsible for farming, and political strategists (diplomats) ) for external communication, novelists (journalists and writers) for propaganda…

Everyone has a clear division of labor, each performs their duties and cooperates with each other, and we have not seen the various departments turn upside down and turn the country into a mess. On the contrary, with the joint efforts of all departments, the country is getting better and better, and it has successfully become One of the poles of the world.

It can be seen that it is not a good thing to focus on a certain kind of academics. On the contrary, it is multi-faceted to make the country progress.

As a descendant, Li Zhen has the experience of later generations, and is confident that she has the ability to coordinate disputes among various schools, and there will be no chaotic situation among hundreds of schools.

"..." Cen Wenwen remained silent, he was a little shaken by what Li Zhen said.

"Then what is your Highness going to do?" After a long time, Cen Wenwen asked with a dry voice, his eyes flushed. It can be seen how impactful Li Zhen's words were just now, but in just a short while, Cen Wenwen's effort was exhausted. clean and dry.

"It's not urgent, let's talk about it later." Li Zhen didn't explain too much. If you want to integrate hundreds of schools, this kind of thing can't be done now-although Confucianism has been severely damaged, it has been passed down for more than 1000 years after all. , the background is profound, and this heavy blow may not hurt their vitality. They must continue to attack the influence of Confucianism, lay a solid foundation, and implement this policy after they succeed to the throne is the best.

"I'm talking too much." Seeing that Li Zhen didn't say anything, Cen Wenwen immediately realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly shut up and stopped asking.

He no longer had any questions, but Li Zhen took the initiative to ask: "But speaking of it, sir, who do you think is the winner of the battle for Yindao this time, and who actually took away Yinyin in the end?"

"Huh?" Cen Wenwen gave Li Zhen a strange look, and didn't speak, but the meaning revealed in his expression was obvious—isn't it you?Why are you asking that?

Li Zhen understood in seconds, rubbed her nose and smiled wryly: "I knew sir would suspect that it was my king who did it."

Cen Wenwen said: "Not only the minister, but now the whole world knows that it was Your Highness who took away the Yinyin from the Yang family, and you took the initiative to destroy the Hongnong Yang family, and you did it cleanly and ruthlessly."

Li Zhen shook her head: "But what I want to tell you is that Hongnong Yang's family was indeed done by me, but the matter of Yanyin really has nothing to do with me, do you believe it?"

"How is this possible?" Cen Wenwen exclaimed, unbelievable: "If it wasn't for your Highness, who would it be? Besides, the Hongnong Yang family was destroyed by His Highness, how could Yinyin not be done by you? Since you didn't do it, who did it?"

This was really astonishing, and Cen Wenwen was very shocked. If what Li Zhen said was true, it meant that in the dark, there was still a large force hidden, secretly watching Datang.

"I killed the Hongnong Yang family because I hated them for not being able to investigate clearly, so I put the blame on me at will, and even tried to assassinate me, but the matter of Yinyin was really not done by me. "Li Zhen's eyes were full of murderous intent. To this day, thinking of the situation at that time, Li Zhen felt terrified. That assassination was extremely dangerous. Hongnong Yang not only dispatched rhubarb anger, but also used hot weapons. A grenade also landed not far from him at that time. If the dead soldier hadn't blocked it for him, he would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.That's why Li Zhen was furious and ordered to destroy the Hongnong Yang family with a thunderous force.

"It's not His Highness, so who could it be?" Cen Wenwen frowned and pondered. He did not suspect that Li Zhen was lying. Since Li Zhen did not even deny the matter of destroying the Hongnong Yang family, then if he really stole He won't deny it without reason.

He is not an idiot, he immediately realized that this matter is not that simple, it is very likely that there is a black hand behind the scenes who is fueling the flames, and even secretly manipulating all this.

"Regarding this, sir, don't get entangled. The king naturally knows who the murderer is, and has already arranged it. When they show up again, they should be able to give them a 'surprise'." Li Zhen sneered.

"The reason why this king brought up this matter is that I hope that my husband can help and spread this matter. If the matter is indeed done by this king, I will naturally not deny it when I pick it up, but if it is not done by this king , then the king will not take the blame."

This is also the main reason why Li Zhen took the initiative to bring this matter up to Cen Wenwen. These days, the government and the public are very unfavorable to his remarks, saying that he is too extreme in doing things. The praying mantis catches the cicada, but he himself acts as a oriole to reap the benefits of the fisherman, making a profit at the last moment, which really damages Li Zhen's image as a virtuous king before.

Although this is just a private discussion of others, apart from damaging one's own image, it has no effect on oneself.But as a proud (ao) traveler, Li Zhen really doesn't like the feeling of being swayed by public opinion.

This reminded him of those unscrupulous paparazzi in the later generations. This feeling is very uncomfortable-it’s fine if the thing is done by himself, and he will not deny it, but this thing is obviously not done by himself, and others want to rest on their own. It's so depressing.

"I understand." Cen Wenwen nodded: "I will go out and arrange for a newspaper to publish an article, trying to get His Highness out of this matter."

Cen Wenwen is not only Li Zhen's tutor, he also has the identity of the general manager of the Lingnan branch of "Datang Daily", who controls a considerable part of the power of public opinion, and even the managers of the other newspapers. Recommended, and others followed suit.

"Then there is Mr. Law."

"Your Highness is welcome."

After sending Cen Wenwen away, Li Zhen corrected today's official document and came to the backyard.

"Your Highness." Wu Meiniang was holding her chin, staring at a cradle in front of her in a daze, she didn't know what she was thinking, until Li Zhen came close, she suddenly woke up.

"En." Li Zhen responded softly, and then quietly poked her head above the cradle, two little people with exactly the same eyebrows were sleeping soundly, head to head.

"Chi~" Seeing the sleeping positions of the two, Li Zhen couldn't help but chuckle, because Li Huang and Li Zhao's sleeping positions are exactly the same, even the sound of sleeping breathing and some inadvertent small movements are the same.

Wu Meiniang also laughed, and said softly: "The sleeping positions of the two of them are exactly the same as His Highness's."

"Ah?" Li Zhen was embarrassed and waved her hands again and again: "How is it possible? How could I have such a childish sleeping posture?"

This kind of thing must not be admitted, it will damage your image too much.

"Hehehe..." Seeing Li Zhen like this, Wu Meiniang burst out laughing.

"Wow~"

"Wow~"

Who knew that the voices of the two might be a bit loud, which woke up the two lovely people who were sleeping, and burst into tears, and the two were in a hurry.

"Hurry up, I'm going to pee."

"Your Highness, it is Xiao Shou'er who needs to pee."

"This is going to pee too, ah~ pee on me..."

"Giggle..."

"..."

Five days later, Yuezhou Port, No. [-] Pier, the sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags fluttering, crowds of people... In short, today's Yuezhou Port is very lively.

Not only were people crowded outside Pier No. [-], but there were also many people standing on adjacent Piers No. [-] and No. [-], and even people with boats even sailed to the sea to watch.

Not only the people of the whole city came out, but also all the officials of Yuezhou, including Li Zhen, who came out together. Everyone stood at the front of the pier, looking at the water in the distance, as if waiting for something.
