Chapter 88: The Art of Governing the Country(2/2)

Li Longji thought for a moment and shook his head in frustration.

"Another talk about the honest officials, it is certainly respectful. But handling government affairs is not as simple as you think. If one thing continues to be managed, it will lead to a lot of tricks. If you are clear to the end, you are old-fashioned and unrestrained, you will probably not be able to handle it well. Therefore, the ancients said that there is no fish when the water is clear. The Queen Mother taught me to be a hypocrite, and my teacher taught me to be a word of flexibility. That is the reason."

Li Longji asked Wang Hua to wander around and was a little confused. He asked, "What should I do?"

"It is right to promote good and punish evil, it is right to speak out in a way, it is right to be diligent in government affairs, and it is even more right to appoint capable ministers. There are thousands of state affairs, and it is impossible to handle them by relying on the one-man ruler alone. But this is not the main reason."

"What's the main reason."

"I ask you why the regime has now been returned to the Li clan, but the country is even more chaotic than when the Empress Dowager was arrogant."

"Because the Queen Yin provoked the Chaogang, a minister below was bewitched by him."

“What is the main reason?”

"It's because the emperor believes in the queen too much."

Wang Hua still shook his head: "Crown Prince, you are wrong."

"What's the reason?"

In fact, the reason is very simple, mainly because of the monarchy. The biggest advantage of the monarchy is that it is the high concentration of power. If you meet a wise monarch, the country can immediately get on track. For example, Li Shimin, and Li Longji in the Kaiyuan period.

But this is a good emperor. If a foolish monarch is met, the country will decline very quickly. What if the king does not have such great power? Just like this time, if Li Xian's rights were divided into three provinces and six ministries, in fact, Lao Wu's foundation was not bad. If Lao Wu did it, the foundation left by Emperor Gaozong of Tang was almost done, but there was still some foundation. In particular, Lao Wu killed many talents and used many talents. If the rights were divided into three provinces and six ministries, how much power could he give Wei to control it?

Then the country will not be corrupt to the point where it is today. At least Wang Hua will not force Wei to kill the palace and escape from Luoyang.

Wang Hua replied: "I must know the reason, but I am also looking for an answer to the solution now."

The monarchy is certainly not negated now, because people's thoughts have not evolved to the point of accepting democracy. If democracy is rashly developed, it is not to save the country, but to split the country. So Wang Hua has not found a solution now.

“What’s the reason?”

"This is the purpose of my conversation with you. If you can figure out this reason and find the answer, I can put down my airs immediately and support you. Of course, I can only support you alone. Your father is not good, too feminine, and it is not good for the emperor. Your two brothers are not good, too honest. It is also not good for the emperor."

Li Longji didn't know if he was angry or happy after hearing this.

I was so angry that he despised his family, and the joy was his optimism about himself.

But what is the reason? Li Longji couldn't help but think deeply. But he never dreamed that the reason was the monarchy itself.

Wang Hua took out the paper again and handed it to him and said, "Look at this again. Think about it, what would be the cause of the decline of the Tang Dynasty?"

The biggest reason for the Tang Dynasty was the separatist rule of the feudal states, and then the eunuchs' dictatorship and cliques. However, these are all things that happened later, but these are the root of disaster left by Li Longji. Although Gao Lishi's character is not bad, he at least made many contributions in state affairs. It is much better than Li Bai who was so drunk that he wanted to be Xie An all day long. But it was Gao Lishi's head, and the fierce people came out one by one, Li Fuguo, Cheng Yuanzhen, and Yu Chaoen, who were worse than the other. Then, from Yang Yan's killing of the meritorious minister Liu Yan, the cliques rose again, until the Niu and Li dispute reached the peak of the cliques, the Tang Dynasty finally had no cure.

But the main reason is the Anshi Rebellion.

The destruction of the military system of the government was adjusted, giving the Jiedushi more rights, grasping the local military power of the government and finance, and blindly appointing Hu soldiers and generals, which have the benefits. Adapting to these conditions, a large amount of expenses were saved for the country, and Hu soldiers and generals improved their combat effectiveness because they knew the root of the roots, generals knew the soldiers, and soldiers knew the generals, which increased the chance of victory. But this gave An Lushan the cornerstone of his ambition. Secondly, Li Longji was extremely stupid in his later years, which made An Lushan have the courage to rebel.

This change announced the end of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty had many disadvantages, such as the increase in fugitives, and now there is no problem. No matter how many people are, they will be able to leave. It depends on whether the court is willing to let go. Then the power of military generals was too concentrated. Song and Ming Dynasty were good at iron and heroes did not serve as soldiers. Now the Tang Dynasty turned around, all literati would rather be centuries than scholars. This sounded the trumpet for decades of military rebellion. Even without An Lushan, it was very likely that there would be Li Lushan and Zhang Lushan.

Wang Hua originally wanted to send someone to find two people, one was Li Linfu and the other was An Lushan. But after understanding this principle, he didn't look for it anymore. Li Longji went crazy, without Li Linfu, and also with **fu. The root of the root lies in Li Long's basic people. Even if he finds it and kills it, it is useless.

Wang Hua has now come up with two questions, and after asking, he said: "If you can answer this question, I will also consider whether it will help you achieve great things."

"What if I can't answer?"

"The same thing, where do you come from and where you go. Go."

Li Longji had to leave. Now Wang Hua has made it clear. He doesn't want to rebel, but he wants to find a good emperor to make peace in the world. He seems to be very satisfied with himself and gives some tips. These two questions are considered tests.

Although he was a little arrogant when he did this, he was arrogant and had the capital to be arrogant now. But when he returned to the inn, it seemed that these two questions were very simple, but the more he thought about it, the less he was. But he also had a way to find Li Chiying and raise these two questions.

Li Chiying was also stunned and shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

However, as soon as Li Chiying left, Wang Hua sent someone to deliver a letter and said, "Don't ask the little princess anymore, you can't ask the answer. Now I'll give you four months. If you can answer within four months, I will still promise what I promised you. If you can't answer, you don't need to answer."

Four months left, Li Chongjun will arrive, and he doesn't need the pawn of Li Longji.

Li Longji scratched his head, as if the conditions were very good. He had four months, and it seemed that he had taken advantage of the situation himself, so Wang Hua did not object. He was very active and turned around and immediately thought that in four months, I could go back to ask my father. Zhang said that he had gone back, and there was another person, Song Jing, who had a good relationship with Wang Hua and had talked many times. Maybe Wang Hua would mention this question when he was talking.

Is it really that simple?

Thinking of this, he immediately found Wang Hua again and asked, "Can I go back?"

Wang Hua stared at him, then looked at the mo bamboo that was posted on him, and shook his head. How could he not know Li Longji's thoughts?

Third brother-in-law, you can make trouble slowly.

So he said, "Whatever, I don't have the right to limit your personal freedom. Even if you go to the ends of the world, it doesn't matter. As for the same sentence, April is limited, and you will be guilty of expiration."

Then he watched the third brother-in-law leave.
