Chapter 5: The sky has changed

"Why did Wang Qing say this?" Li Longji said in a hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty, I ask you, why don't you use Li Bai?"

"Although he is very talented, he is unruly and unscrupulous, and he is not as good as an official."

"You know, too. I heard in Oceania that you want to use the son of the old prime minister. Several former prime ministers were righteous and well-educated, and Yao Chong's son Yao Yi was young and Xiu Jin. Because Yi man Hong forced Niu Xianke to become the prefect of Yongyang, it was also impossible. Even so, this person was cautious and could be the prime minister by time. At least several times better than Li Linfu you favored. Xiao Songzi Xiao Hua is a person with elegance and a talent. Wei Anshi's son Wei Zhi and Wei Bin both have talent and hope, but I heard it before I left Chang'an. As for Zhang Shuo's son Zhang Jun and Zhang Yi, it would be better not to mention these two people, so it would be better to avoid being dirty."

Both of these two people are talented, especially Zhang Ye, who is deeply loved by Li Longji and married his daughter to him.

But the two had bad character and thought that Li Longji would let them serve as prime ministers. However, because of the constraints of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, their wishes were not fulfilled, and they were always unhappy. So An Lushan came in front and shook his tail behind and surrendered. He had no integrity at all. So Wang Hua said this.

Moreover, Zhang Ye made great contributions to frame Li Bai for wandering around the world. Legend has it that Gao Lishi was framed and nonsense. Gao Lishi was cautious all his life, and even Zhang Jiuling's pride was very respectful to him. This is not respect for power, but respect for character. If Li Bai had nothing to do and let Gao Lishi take off his shoes, he would be a fool. But once, Li Bai was drunk and Gao Lishi helped him on the dragon boat and helped him with great care. This is all true.

The reason why Li Longji expelled Li Bai from the bounty was Zhang Ye who couldn't stand Li Bai's unruly style and talent, so he created a bad reputation, which led to Li Bai's miserable ending later. Otherwise, why would it be okay to be an irrelevant little capital official? Just like He Zhizhang, he still drank drunk every day and dreamed of death?

In short, Zhang said that these two sons are a real villain.

But Wang Hua didn't want to delve into this matter, he just wanted to start the front end of the topic.

"Why is Your Majesty so important to these six people? One is talented and learning, and the other is that after the famous and famous family traditions, they have a rigorous family tradition. Why not use Li Bai, because he is unruly. This shows that Your Majesty knows this truth. In this case, Your Majesty will not use Zhang Jiuling, Li Shizhi will not use him, but he will use Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong for more than 20 years. A great country will be ruined. Your Majesty, are you treacherously rebelling against the country?"

"It's not that Hu Fan cannot be used. In the past, I used Hu Fan as generals and soldiers in the northwest, but many Han people were generals and commanders. I was still dissatisfied with the court, so I did this. When governing the northwest, I also intended to let the Hu Han family integrate them and become one. After arriving in Oceania, I even intended to let the Han people lead the slaves of various races, which is also the reason for the large migration. Otherwise, the population is needed. How many people in the world can be used for me? What should I do after it is available? If it is not my race, their hearts will be different. But you are better. Soldiers are the country's weapon. You put Wang Zhongsi, who grew up by you since childhood, demoted him and gave him to death. But you use Hu people and generals, the soldiers of the whole country, and the sound of Hu Yi. Are you treacherously rebelling against the nation?"

"Someone has long told you that An Lushan rebelled, but you don't believe it. In the end, the rebellion has been revealed, and you have awakened, but you are not prepared for it. Geshuhan, Feng Changqing, and Gao Xianzhi are peerless generals. They have suffered a little loss. They retreated to Tongguan and held the stalwart pass and defended them. They trapped the rebels and could not go west and became the regular army. Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and Hebei rebels cut off the rebels' retreat, and held their family members to shake their army's spirit. The righteous and strange ones are in harmony, and the rebels can be broken soon. Feng Changqing wrote three letters to him.

To point out this matter, Ge Shuhan also wrote a letter to point out the key points, even Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi said this matter. But you listened to Yang Guozhong's words, first killing Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, and then forcing Ge Shuhan to defeat the elites of the world with a group of miscellaneous troops, resulting in a great defeat and Tongguan loss. From then on, from Hebei to Guanzhong, many people fell into the hands of the enemy, thousands of miles away, and a deserted land. How many families were destroyed and the people were living in poverty. You are treasoning against the people."

"Confucianism is righteous and human ethics are orderly. Therefore, even the laws of the Tang Dynasty did not allow marriages with the same surname. It was Emperor Gaozong who accepted Empress Dowager Zetian. At this time, Empress Dowager Zetian was just a talented person of Emperor Taizong. He was not a regular concubine, but was criticized by the people of the world. But you were disrespectful to the old man and even snatched his daughter-in-law and let you have fun. Master, have you read "The Book of Rites"? Have you read "Mencius"? Did Confucius tell you to do this, or did Mencius tell you to do this? Or did I ask you to do this? Are you righteous to the sages and rebellious about the principles of the sages?"

Although Wang Hua was suspected of wearing four big hats on Li Longji, the country was corrupt, so it was said that Li Longji was the biggest culprit of crime.

Even Gao Lishi, who was loyal to Li Longji, remained silent after hearing this.

Wang Hua asked again: "Emperor, when you are here today, you can't go to Shu, and Lingwu in Hexi cannot go, Taiyuan cannot go to, and Chang'an cannot return. If I don't take action, what will Your Majesty plan? Are you staying here and waiting for the rebels to catch up?"

This sentence can be hidden from Li Longji, or even the soldiers, but it can't be hidden from one person.

Li Mi wanted to speak in his mouth, but a ray of light shot out from Wang Hua's eyes. Although Li Mi practiced Taoism, he was also shocked. He knew very well that although Wang Hua was nagging all the time today, a big thing would happen in a short while. If he destroyed it, he would not be jealous of killing himself. Similarly, he would not have time to stop him.

Li Longji could not answer.

But he knew that since Wang Hua arrived here, it was impossible to ignore it, so he didn't know what conditions he would put forward. Now he was silent, waiting for Wang Hua to speak himself.

"Your Majesty, you still remember the two questions I asked you in Lingzhou. At that time, I asked you, what is the biggest crisis in front of the Tang Dynasty? Have you figured it out now?"

"The Hu people are generals."

Wang Hua shook his head. Maybe when Li Longji left when he was young, he thought about it. But in his later years, he had never thought about it at all, and even An Lushan's rebellion, otherwise he would not have given this simple answer.

He said: "Wrong, it's not that the Hu people are generals. It's that the military generals are dictatorial. The land is tight, and it must cause damage to the military system. The recruitment system is that they don't want to do it and have to do it. There is no mistake. But the recruitment system makes the border generals have countless troops in their hands all year round. This is very terrible, but you also gave them the right to govern local political economy, personnel mobilization, and deal with affairs. It's just that without An Lushan, people's hearts are not satisfied, just like you

Like, why are there 72 concubines in the six courtyards of the harem, countless beauties, and even daughter-in-laws taking over? The same is true for the border generals. Then, Li Lushan, Zhang Lushan, and Liu Lushan will appear in the future. I still remember the situation when I wanted to kill me in Chang'an. But after I arrived in Lingzhou, why didn't she dare to kill me, but instead tempted me with Bu'er? No, there was military power in my hands. Or if I had the intention of rebellion, would it be your turn to be in the world?"

"Master General, why didn't you say that?" Gao Lishi complained.

"Did the emperor listen after he said it? He himself knew that Zhang Jiuling was a good prime minister and knew whether there were people with a temperament like Zhang Jiuling. But how did he treat Zhang Jiuling? Who was it used? And did Zhang Jiuling say An Lushan, and did others say that An Lushan wants to rebel? Did the emperor listen?"

But he thought to himself that I would not tell you this at all. If there was no Anshi Rebellion, how could I carry out a drastic change in the country? Or if I told you, it might be able to avoid the harm of the Anshi Rebellion, but it was a preface and no internal control. Could it be that the country would continue to move to the path of no Han people after the Tang Dynasty?

Wang Hua asked Gao Lishi speechlessly. Not only did Wang Hua, even Gao Lishi himself also made suggestions many times, but although Li Longji favored him very much, he still refused to listen. Gao Lishi had no choice but to do anything about it.

Li Longji spoke, and he asked in a low voice: "So what is the answer to the first question?"

In fact, since he arrived in Lingzhou, he has developed a sense of fear of Wang Hua. Moreover, Wang Hua regards the king's power as grass, which also makes him feel uncomfortable. But this also creates another kind of mentality. If others talk about him, he will feel very uneasy, but Wang Hua talks about him and he can do nothing.

"The first answer is that if you want to be a good emperor, you must learn to delegate power."

Everyone said "Huh".

Li Longji was even more puzzled. He asked, "It is precisely because I delegated power to the two prime ministers that I am today. Why did Wang Qing say this?"

"What do you mean to delegate power?" Wang Hua sneered: "If Zhongzong was more careful at the beginning and did not let Wei take medicine and kill him, who would be the winner in the end? If your father was not in both directions, would you and Princess Taiping have the power? If you were determined to regain power, could Li Linfu stay in the court for nineteen years? It's not called delegating power, it means giving power to people who should not be handed over, which would ruin the country and harm the people."

Wei Jiansu interrupted Wang Hua and said, "But there are indeed many emperors who want to do something in ancient and modern times, but they can do nothing, and even suffer tragic deaths."

"That's right, especially several emperors in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. But that was just a fake minister, a real emperor, and his power was transferred from the emperor to the hands of powerful ministers. For example, Zhao Gao, Sima Daozi, Qingfu, Liang Ji. Actually, you don't understand what I mean. The emperor's power I mean is too great, which means ** system. A system that lacks supervision and one hand covers the sky leads to a person's rights greater than God's rights. If you want any life, you have to have any life, and if you want any death, you will let anyone die. Let me ask you one more thing, do you want to eat delicious food?"

The people with identities around him did not express their opinions, and the soldiers around the outer circle nodded one by one. Just as they were hungry and their eyes were dizzy, Wang Hua asked a question and his stomach was ringing.

"Does there beauties want to get it?"

As he said that, he glanced at Li Longji and even wanted to rob his daughter-in-law. Who doesn’t want to get a beauty?

"Do you want to wear good clothes or do you want to live in a good house? Think about it, why since ancient times, if the kings of various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, the seven heroic kings of the Warring States Period, and the monarchs of the Sixteen Kingdoms, have reached nearly a thousand kings. But how many wise monarchs are there, are there one hundred? Why does this happen?"

The answer is about to come out

"So the wise ruler uses the advice of the ministers to force himself to add a framework to prevent himself from being confused by the emperor and put his mind on the country. For example, Taizong, and the emperor, you used Han Xiu early on. This is using the righteous minister as a mirror to reflect his merits and losses. This is using the righteous minister as a shackle, forcibly limiting his rights, preventing this boundless right, and making himself do whatever he wants to satisfy the sanctions. But in the end, it is still this kind of sanctions, and Jun Ming advises the ministers and the Pavilion can play a role. Jun Meng, does the imperial court have a censorate, but when the emperor becomes stupid, does the censorate play a role?"

Speaking of this, he stood up and asked the soldiers around him, "Why do you need the emperor?"

When Wang Hua said before, everyone had some thoughts in their hearts, and after hearing this, they answered without hesitation: "Govern the country well."

"Yes, the emperor, why did you want the emperor? It was not to build the Lishan Palace for you, not to let you embrace beauty, but the people let you govern the country. You promised me repeatedly in Lingzhou that the country would be more powerful and the people would be more prosperous. But what did you do later? I heard a lot of discussion in Oceania. Why did you hand over the power to others for management, and the country became worse and worse, and I handed over the power to others for management, more thoroughly than you, but Oceania is thriving in turn? Why, it is precisely because of the system."

"I first established three parties, and I didn't dare to use two, for fear of collusion with each other, but if there were too many, it would be chaos. The political trend of the people was simple, and if there were too many, they couldn't tell the difference. So I established three political parties. In this way, no matter which party was elected, the two hostile parties were staring at his every move, so as to grab his tail and pave the way for the victory of the next election of his own party. Not only the enemy party, but also their own party were afraid that he would do whatever he wanted and drag everyone around. Therefore, after most people were elected,

Be careful. At most, he served two terms at that time, because he would control the national affairs over time. Not only that, I also withdraw a small amount every year, and report to the people in the jurisdiction to read out the major affairs of the country. The current situation allows them to understand the state affairs and take the initiative to participate in the state affairs. Moreover, many places have established newspapers to give the people the right to speak. Except for not violating the national unity and the constitution, they can be published on it no matter what they want to say. Let everyone supervise the country together."

"I know that you despise the imperial power because I saved Princess Taiping and are very repulsive to me. But I believe you have read the di newspaper. Although I didn't say it, I did it for you. But have you ever thought about why I did this? I still don't know the answers to the two questions."

"I'll ask you again, where is the Kyushu Cauldron, do you know the meaning of its symbolic meaning?"

The Kallow of Jiuzhou is in Chang'an, and even the Concubine Mei, the prince and grandson have not brought it out. Besides, the huge Kallow of Jiuzhou. Perhaps the base of the Kallow is still there, and even the exquisite eighty-one patterns are still there. After all, they are only valuable on the Kallow, and it will lose its meaning if you take it down. However, the gold, silver and jewelry on the Kallow wall are mostly snatched away by the chaotic people in chaos.

Li Longji did not answer again.

"If you urgently mobilize troops and place them in Henan when you suspect An Lushan's rebellion, you can slow down. If you listen to the words of Changqing and Geshuhan, you can still turn the danger into safety. But you just believe Yang Guozhong. Now where you can go, the rebels will soon enter Chang'an. When the Hebei army heard about this, they will also have a great morale. They will either be defeated or withdraw back to Hedong. To the south to the Hanhuai, to the east to the sea, to the west to Taihang, to Guanzhong, to the north to the Xi tribe, there will be a piece of Hu smoke. If you kill you again, there will be no leader in the world. I wonder if this country's surname is An or to the Wang Zhang?"

Wei saw that he wanted to stop talking.

Wang Hua did not wait for him to say it, but directly interrupted him, saying, "Even if there is a turning point, we must rely on the power of the generals from all over the country. The generals from all over the country have unlimited rights, and this time they must be reused to make the rights they have greater. Once An Lushan dies, I don't know how many more An Lushan will be added in this world. The royal family of the Tang Dynasty will decline and die in name only."

There are many reasons for the separatist rule of the feudal states, but the reason Wang Hua mentioned is also one of the fundamental reasons.

Smart people, such as Li Mi, have already begun to bow their heads and think.

"Your Majesty, your emperor has done his best," he said to everyone, "Your Majesty, you have two paths to choose from now. If you think that this world is your own world, not these soldiers, not the world of the people in the world, these soldiers, these people are just pigs and dogs of your Li family, I will leave immediately. If you still have a trace of conscience, there is still a path to choose from."

Li Mi and others all smiled bitterly. If you really want to leave, it may not be as serious as you said. But after your reversal, now that you have left, who is willing to follow the emperor?

Li Longji was silent for a long time before asking, "What kind of path is there to go?"

"Like me, I retire behind the scenes and continue to retain the royal family. This is what I thought at the beginning that I wanted to rebel, but actually I thought. The country allocates funds every year to provide for your royal family expenses, and also allows your royal family to retain their own industrial operations and enjoy certain national honors. As for the Tang Dynasty, it will realize the system of Oceania, let the people become masters of their own country and become the real masters of the country. Then I will mobilize elite troops to Oceania, defeat the rebels, and allocate a large amount of funds to quickly stabilize the country. It also makes nine people more likely to do so.

The Jiuzhou on the Cauldron of the State is truly unified. Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing. The land of Jiuzhou, except for the surrounding areas, the Tubo Uighurs and others have not been taken down, but I have begun to send troops to sweep it. There are also some places in South Asia operated by major families and Africa has just begun to develop, and other places are conquered. That is, the arable land will be dozens of times the arable land of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention that the population of the Tang Dynasty has increased by twenty times, there will be arable land. In other words, if you cooperate, the dream Tang Dynasty in the hearts of the people will come immediately."

After saying that, he said to everyone: "Sir, do you want to live a family with countless fertile land, and also allocate a large number of slaves for your control?"

Of course, I thought about it and answered in unison.

"Although there are tens of millions of slaves in Oceania, and even if needed, they can capture more slaves immediately, but they are allocated for military merits. So, are you willing to obey my orders?"

"promise."

Li Heng secretly pulled Li Mi's elbow.

Li Mi shook his head helplessly and whispered: "Your Highness, the sky has changed."

Today, Wang Hua was making advice, which is easy to say. It is hard to say. It is necessary to do so. If it doesn’t work, it may really withdraw its troops. If it doesn’t agree, he will kill people immediately. Even if Li Heng is the crown prince, he will also kill him on the spot. No matter what happens in the future, save his life first.

"All the soldiers agreed, I don't know if your Majesty agrees or not. Oh, I forgot one thing. If your Majesty agrees, I will guarantee the safety of Concubine Yang and let you live a life of only envying the mandarin ducks but not the immortals. Also, I will send someone to Chang'an immediately to see if I can take Concubine Mei over and let your family reunite." After saying that, I turned around and looked at the soldiers and asked, "When the emperor agrees, will you still force the emperor to kill Concubine Yang?"

"No," one by one answered.

They had no life-and-death grudge with Yang Guifei. The reason why she was let to die was as Wang Hua said. I was afraid that Yang Guifei would stir up the flames in the future, and now even the emperor has been deposed, why should I let a woman die?

While Wang Hua was asking questions, Gao Lishi whispered in Li Longji's ear: "The Emperor of Han values ​​color and wants to conquer the country, but Yu Yu has never been able to seek it for many years."

A sentence also reminded Li Longji of this poem he had read many years ago, and he shivered all over. Could it be that even though Wang Hua was sure that this scene would happen many years ago, he temporarily gave way to Oceania and waited patiently for many years before it officially broke out today?

This is too weird. Besides, people have been preparing for it for decades, so why are they fighting for? Thinking of this, he was discouraged and said, "I agree, but I have a condition. I can only agree after you agree."
