Going to the capital together again

Xu Chun said that he had something to do, but when he was preaching the next day, he appeared and sat not far behind Fang Yuanzhi.

Shang Lu tells the story of "Tu Mu Li Xin".

"After the order was not built, I was afraid that the people would not believe it, so I set up a three-foot tree at the south gate of the country's city. If the people could move to the north gate, they would give ten gold. The people were surprised that they would dare to move. They said, "Those who can move will receive fifty gold!" One person moved it and gave fifty gold. He ordered it."

"What this sentence means is that it was not immediately announced after the law was formulated. Wei Yang was worried that the people would not believe it, so he erected a three-meter-high wooden pole in the market at the south gate of the capital, and ordered that if someone could move the wooden pole to the north gate, he would give him ten gold.

People found it strange, but no one dared to move. So they ordered: 'If you can move to the north gate, you will give him fifty gold!' One person went over to move the wooden pole to the north gate and immediately gave him fifty gold. Then the reform order was announced."

"Looking at history, you can't just look at what you wrote. You have to look at what you haven't written out. Those things that haven't been written out are more important."

"Let's first look at the content of Shang Yang's reforms. I said last time, mainly the following four points:

1. Protect the interests of the common people by eliminating privileged classes such as princes and nobles;

2. Encourage farming to increase social wealth, capture the whole family of those who are not engaged in farming as slaves, and reduce waste of human resources;

3. Promote national prestige through military achievements;

4. Through the linkage of military achievements and titles and honors, we can give people a channel to rise."

"These are laws that benefit the country and the people, especially for the people. But they are not good for the privileged class.

Reform is actually a redistribution of interests, which moves the cake of vested interest groups and distributes them to the working people. This is an offensive thing.

What you offend is the existing vested interest group - the privileged class.

How did Shang Yang do so in order to implement the laws and regulations?

The method given by Shang Yang is to "establish a tree to gain trust", directly bypassing the privileged class and gaining the trust and support of the reforms of a large number of people at the bottom."

When Shang Lu talked about this, his eyes swept over the students who were listening with their ears under him, and asked with a smile: "History records this history, and there are very few words to use. But there are many tricks."

"First of all, why wasn't it published immediately after the decree was enacted? Can anyone answer it?"

Some students replied: "I'm worried that someone will leak the secret and slander the law."

"It's true. In fact, it is to prevent private discussions among the people, prevent public opinion rumor, form public opinion resistance, prevent people from causing large-scale panic due to not understanding the laws, blindly opposing laws, and prevent the privileged class from distorting laws to mislead the people."

"So, the second question is, why is Shang Yang worried that the people would not believe it? Is anyone answered it?"

"Because most of the people are ignorant." The answer sounded familiar. Fang Yuanzhi heard that this was Zhang Ze's voice.

"Well said. Since the people are ignorant, first use their ignorance to gain their trust and support. This is the meaning of 'Tu Mu Lixin'."

"No matter how good the law is, if it cannot be implemented effectively, it will be a mirage. To implement the law, we must unite the majority and obtain the support of the majority."

Fang Yuanzhi thought of what a great man in his previous life said: "The minority obeys the majority."

And "who are our enemies and which are our friends."

In the final analysis, this trust is the most difficult.

Take her and Xu Chun. At first, because of no trust, Xu Chun forced her to kiss her. She only thought he was a disciple.

Now, after many times of going to life and death disasters and testing each other, she trusts him and becomes in love with him.

This is true whether it is between men and women, friends, or even business partners.

Without trust, how about anything else?

After the course, Xu Chun did not leave immediately, but instead took Fang Yuanzhi to pay a visit to Shang Lu.

When Shang Lu saw them appear together, he realized it and smiled with a beard: "It is understandable that Yuan Zhi is eager to learn and be ambitious. Wangchuan also came to listen, and it was unexpected to me."

Wangchuan is the name of Xu Chun.

"Listen to your elders is better than reading for ten years."

Shang Lu ordered the boy to serve tea. After the boy stepped down, he glanced at Fang Yuanzhi, pondered for a moment before saying, "What is the situation in the capital now?"

Fang Yuanzhi was about to get up and leave, but Xu Chun pressed her down and said slowly: "Old Peng Shige returned to his hometown to visit relatives. The eldest prince died in November. Master Li Xian is in the morning."

Even Shang Lu, who was used to the strong winds and waves, was shocked!

Xu Chun said calmly: "On the first day of June last year, the emperor painted a picture of "A Map of Harmony", saying that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism should live in harmony. In fact, it is about Emperor Jingtai, Emperor Yingzong, and the three forces he represented are living in harmony.

But now, where is the power of the court just three parties?

The nobles of the foreign relatives and nobles represented by the Sun family of Huichang Hou, controlled the military power in the capital and had the power in the harem.

As for civil officials, the Northern School literati represented by Li Xian Pavilion is the most powerful at present. The Jiangxi School represented by Peng Shi is the fence school.

Now that the Sun family and Li Xian are fighting in full swing, if we operate properly, our uncle will have the hope of recovery.”

Shang Lu showed surprise on his face, pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not easy."

Xu Chun smiled and said, "Today's son's right-hand man is Sima Xun, who is also a priest of the Imperial College, and is actually a counselor of the emperor.

Sima Xun's wife is Li Xian's daughter. Li Xian is a die-hard supporter of Emperor Zhu Jianshen.

But Sun Jizong is different. When my son had a lot of ideas today, he was to restore Yu Qian's reputation and support Zhu Yong and others, so he was not as good as other young princes.

Concubine Wan was the person arranged by the Sun family for the emperor. The eldest prince she gave birth to replace the emperor was very beneficial to the Sun family.

Since the birth of the eldest prince in February, the Sun family has been ready to move.

Li Xiange's father died in March and needed Ding You. The emperor refused to accept the love. But the emperor sent an eunuch to return to his hometown to attend the funeral, which gave the Sun family the opportunity to overthrow Li Xiange.

Master Li Xian simply did not do anything, and the eldest prince passed away and came to take off the firewood from the bottom of the pot.

However, the Sun family's counterattack was also very powerful. Today's news came that Mr. Li Xian's sudden illness was very serious and in danger. I'm afraid it will be only a few days.

When Li Xian fell, the Sun family dominated the country, and the emperor was probably in danger. Therefore, this is a good time for us to make a comeback.

Uncle, success or failure is here.”

Fang Yuanzhi felt a chill when she heard this.

This family at the top of power lives in swords and swords all day long, and life is really difficult.

She was even more surprised that Xu Chun, a businessman who was in charge of common affairs, was even more clear about the changes in the situation in the court than the former dynasty masters like Shang Lu!

After saying goodbye to Shang Lu, Xu Chun took Fang Yuanzhi home directly.

Fang Yuanzhi was very surprised: "Study hasn't come out yet!"

Xu Chun didn't explain much, and then went to Zhaodetang at home and said, "I'm going to the capital. If you want, you can go with me."

Fang Yuanzhi opened her eyes wide.

She was willing to be with Xu Chun, but the New Year was approaching and she needed to go home for the New Year. If she went to the capital privately, she would not be able to explain it to her family.
