Chapter 44: Friendship between gold and stone, parting ways(2/3)
After Gao Gong finished speaking, he finally sighed: "Gao Suqing, you are almost the same as plotting against rebellion."
Gao Gong suddenly laughed.
Smiling extremely unrestrainedly.
He seemed to be intriguing suddenly, or perhaps he was planning to take a step and needed someone to talk to him.
He sat opposite Zhang Juzheng: "Okay, you and me, since the first emperor ascended the throne, they have never been able to return to the scene of Prince Yu's mansion."
"I haven't discussed the truth for more than six years, and I'll discuss it with you today!"
Zhang Juzheng sat upright and made a gesture of asking for help.
Gao Gong took the initiative and took the lead in speaking: "Wenxian Tongkao" says, 'Huangdi set up six prime ministers. Yao had sixteen prime ministers. Yin Tang had left and right prime ministers. King Cheng of Zhou had left and right prime ministers.
"I thought it was a fake."
"If you see it in the Spring and Autumn Annals, there is a 25th year of Duke Xiang's "Jiang, born in Duke Jing, Ding Chou, Cui Zhu stood up and was appointed as the left prime minister," said Duke Xiang in the 25th year.
"But even if we read the "Book of Qin" theory, there is a saying that 'In the second year of King Wu of Qin, the prime minister was first appointed, and Chu Liji and Gan Mao were the prime ministers on the left and right'."
"It's been two thousand years since then, only conservative plans."
"Pushing through layer by layer, we will respect you for all generations, why did Taizu abolish it?"
"What does two thousand years mean to two hundred years?"
Both of them are knowledgeable, not to mention that they have reached this level of official position, how can they not have any political ideas?
Zhang Juzheng was not willing to be outdone: "The ancestors are not good enough!"
"The so-called achievement of the law is just to stabilize the dynasty and unite all parties. What is the ultimate truth for all eternity?"
"The general trend is to move forward with the times, and the day is coming to the moon."
"All two thousand years is about twenty thousand years, but even twenty thousand years is nothing but the dead bones in the tomb!"
Zhang Sixiu, the two brothers who were eavesdropping on the side, was a little young and didn't understand why.
I couldn't help but rub the brother beside me: "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Jingxiu was fully focused when he heard this, and was pulled aside and replied absent-mindedly: "Yuan Fu said that the general was in charge, and has a historical origin. After two thousand years of improvement, it has been very complete."
"My father said that the general rule was just for the stability of the dynasty and transition. It took two thousand years and was different in the ages."
Zhang Sixiu nodded as if he understood.
In the pavilion.
Gao Gong sneered: "What a general trend evolution, Bai Gui, let me tell you what general trend evolution is."
"The ancient sage king abdicated, and Confucian scholars boasted for nearly a thousand years, saying a thousand words, but they were replaced by their families in the end. Why? The general trend is evolving!"
"The Three Emperors are struggling and have few tribes."
"Abdicating means that everyone has the right to succeed."
"There are both internal power to compete for succession, and the transfer between the predecessor and successor is not smooth, and those who are at the bottom of the family will be at a loss when they succeed, and they will be liquidated all the time!"
"This means turmoil and ups and downs! It means turmoil!"
"There is even a saying that 'Shun is imprisoned and Yao is dead'."
"When the family can eliminate the right to succeed half of the people, and have a relationship with a father, so you can pass on the power and get a smooth handover."
"This is the inevitable choice of the court, this is the evolution of the general trend! Everything is just for the stability of the court! It is not because of the blood inheritance mentioned by Confucian scholars, the son of heaven!"
"The court is the general trend! The court is the consensus of the world!"
"Where do you think the Prime Minister's system comes from?"
"For the stability of the court!"
"The First Emperor destroyed the six countries and swallowed up their territory, and the affairs of hundreds of counties increased day by day. We had to set up left and right prime ministers, and the assistant to the emperor of the chief emperor. "
"Why? The major policies are complicated and need to be trusted by people! This is a plan to stabilize the court!"
"What is the general trend? The emperor is standing up and the minister is separating power, which is the general trend evolution!"
"All dynasties have been reduced and strengthened, and the three provinces are like this, and the two palaces in the east and west are the same!"
"If it weren't for this, Taizu had abolished the prime minister's order, why did later generations re-establish the cabinet?"
Zhang Sixiu looked at Zhang Jingxiu in a daze again.
As a brother, although he didn't want to be distracted, he had to explain: "My father said that the dynasty is stable, and the rule of law is just a transition."
"Yuan Fu recognized the former and denied the latter."
"This general rule evolved when the emperor couldn't control it. I would like to take Qin Shihuang and our cabinet as an example."
"It means that as long as the imperial system exists, this general system is necessary. Even if it is abolished, it will be restored as the emperor cannot control it. For example, the cabinet, this is the general trend."
Zhang Sixiu nodded and finally understood.
In the hall.
Zhang Juzheng is not willing to be outdone.
He simply stood up suddenly regardless of his illness.
He shouted Fang Qiu and said, "It's a big mistake!"
"The Emperor of Zhou lost his deer and the world chased him."
"But this system of feudal divisions of princes disappeared without a trace, and it should be changed to a system of counties."
"Emperor Gaozu of Han punished Wudao and inherited the Qin system."
"The Han Dynasty established a government system to control the place."
"When it was the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they were divided into three provinces and controlled the power of the ministers."
"Why? It's the center of the collection of power!"
"Comparison control is not just a transition from the center to collect power."
"Our dynasty abolishes the prime minister system and respects the Holy Emperor alone!"
"The cabinet is just the emperor's private office, won't it be clear to prove it?"
Now, without asking your younger brother, Zhang Jingxiu explained directly: "The so-called evolution of the general trend is a battle of destiny."
"If you follow the will of heaven, you will be in accordance with the will of heaven, and if you go against the tide, you will be in the direction of the tide."
"Yuan Fu and his father were fighting for this matter. Yuan Fu's statement of general control represents the way of general trend evolution. Taizu went back and would sooner or later return."
"My father said that collecting power in the center is the way for the general trend to evolve."
"From the pre-Qin period to the present, it has been a process of central power collection. The control is not a temporary requirement and should be taken back."
"As for the emperor's government affairs, the current cabinet system is effective, and it is not necessary to control it."
Gao Gong also rose up.
The sweating ended up looking very excited.
He slapped the stone table: "If it works, the cabinet squad was still behind the six ministries, so why are you now ranked first in the class? Are you carving a boat and asking for a sword!"
"Isn't the cabinet now developing into the Prime Minister's Mansion? What our cabinet does is a part of the general trend!"
Zhang Juzheng in the pavilion held his hands behind him, not showing any weakness at all.
He stared at Gao Gong: "No reasoning! How could Yuan Fu know that this cabinet, the Silijian, cannot be sincere in the end?"
"You are the one who goes back!"
Gao Gong snorted coldly: "Do you think your honorable emperor's blessing is the general trend?"
"The world's misfortunes and blessings are copied in one's hands?"
"Did you forget Jie and Zhou?"
Zhang Juzheng shook his head: "We are here for this."
"If the emperor is not virtuous, he will help him maintain his achievements. If the emperor is virtuous, he will be able to unite the power of the world!"
"Just like Han Wu wiped out the Huns, Taizu cleaned up the mountains and rivers!"
"This is the general trend!"
Zhang Jingxiu was fascinated by the listening.
I realized it only after being scratched by my younger brother and explained: "What my father means."
"The emperor has always been respected by the world. Only he can integrate the world and establish unparalleled achievements. If he decentralizes power, the center will definitely be weak and he will not be able to do major things that can do the whole country."
"As for the emperor who is not virtuous, someone can still maintain his success."
"But if we decentralize power, the lower limit may be higher, but we can no longer integrate the power of the world to do major things."
High arch and whisk your sleeves.
He turned his back to Zhang Juzheng and retorted: "The center is the center, and the emperor's appearance is the emperor's appearance."
