First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 663

Regardless of these, Zhang Ximeng caught a fish, he was in a good mood, and opened up the chatterbox... "Actually, I am very happy to see the debate in front of the court, whether it is the proposition of Jian Yi and others, or the objection of Hu Yan and others, I think it’s all reasonable, and it’s all a plot to seek the country.”

Zhang Chengtian wanted to cry, "Father, don't talk to me when you are old, and say something useful!"

Zhang Ximeng said solemnly, "I said they were all right, but I'm not talking about it. In fact, what they said happened to be the choice of the Qin and Han dynasties, which is very valuable for reference."

Zhang Chengtian thought and thought, and finally said: "Father, can you always talk about it carefully?"

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "We often like to say that conquering the country is easy, but defending the country is difficult. But where it is easy and where it is difficult, not many people say it clearly. The first emperor swept Liuhe and unified the world. From then on, it seems that the pattern of great unification It was established, and never escaped from this framework. It seems that Qin Shihuang owes all the credit to the unification of China, which is actually not fair. It is even a little inappropriate.”

Zhang Chengtian lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Father, what do you mean, the Qin Dynasty conquered the world, and the Han Dynasty defended the country? In fact, the Han Dynasty is more difficult than the Qin Dynasty?"

"At least it needs to be compared and put together." Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "The Qin Dynasty ruled the world and promulgated the system of prefectures and counties. After more than ten years of effort, the people of the six countries rebelled one after another. What is the reason? Are the nobles of the kingdom rebelling?"

Zhang Chengtian's knowledge is not too bad, he quickly shook his head, "In the final analysis, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms are just following the trend, the root cause is that the people of the Six Kingdoms don't like Qin Law!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Why don't you like Qin Fa?"

"Why?" Zhang Chengtian was stunned and said, "Qin Law is cruel and harsh, and the common people can't stand it."

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Really? I am quite strict with you brothers. How can you bear it? Also, the people of Qin State are made of special materials. How can they bear it?"

"This..." Zhang Chengtian was stopped by the question, and said helplessly, "Father, please give me advice."

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "What's so confusing, to put it bluntly, I'm just used to it!"

Zhang Chengtian was very surprised, it was so simple?

He was stunned for a while, thinking over and over again, it seemed to make sense!

How many years have passed since the reform of Shang Yang in the Qin Dynasty to the unification of the world by the First Emperor?

130 five years!

During this period, there were six Qin kings, including the first emperor, seven generations.

Do you like Shang Yang's reform so much when you are from Qin?

Just a joke, if it was really so welcome, Shang Yang wouldn't have died.

The Qin people also went back and forth, and it took a long time to adapt to the Qin law, and exploded with great power to dominate the world.

The First Emperor unified the world, implemented the Qin Law, rebellions appeared everywhere, and even overthrew the Qin Dynasty after the First Emperor died... Zhang Chengtian thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "I understand!"

Zhang Ximeng snorted, "What are you shouting about? I want to catch another one!"

Zhang Chengtian didn't care about his father's fishing, and said to himself: "My child really understands. In fact, the Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, including Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, should be regarded as a counterattack against Qin Fa. It's just that Shang Yang was killed in the last counterattack , this time is the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the era is different, the performance is different, but the result is the same!"

Zhang Ximeng snorted, "Is it really the same?"

"It's not exactly the same. Although Shang Yang died, his reforms continued to exist, but when the Qin Dynasty perished, the Qin system was in danger of collapsing...I understand! I really understand! It was Han Gaozu who inherited the cause of the first emperor, It turns out that the people who destroyed Qin guaranteed Qin Fa, interesting, really interesting!"

Zhang Chengtian's eyes gleamed, and he had the feeling that he would die soon after hearing the truth.

In just a few words, the confusion lingering in his heart was solved, and Zhang Chengtian felt that he was standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the 2000-year history, and his whole body was incomparably happy.

The Qin system is to promote the world, which is true, but people in the world must also adapt to the Qin system.

The credit of the first emperor is irrefutable, but he was too impatient, so that he lost his position and ruined the Great Qin, so that the Qin system almost came to an end.

When Liu Bang came here, he continued to inherit the Qin system, but also patched the Qin system.

Although the emperors before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, they did not engage in large-scale construction projects, did not build large-scale projects, rested with the people, governed by doing nothing, and restored the power of the people.

It can be regarded as solving the biggest drawback of the Qin system.

Later, in response to the issue of enfeoffment and counties, the Han Dynasty stepped back half a step, allowing feudal states and counties to coexist, and giving the people time to adapt.

When the people are able to accept the great unification, gradually eliminate the feudal state, gather power, and complete the great unification of the country.

If it was the pioneering act of the first emperor, it was a great courage, then the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and perfected the great unification, which is supreme wisdom!

With great wisdom and great courage, there is a pattern of China's great unification.

Both are indispensable and equally important.

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "The most difficult part of the reform is not to take two steps forward, but to take half a step back when taking two steps forward, so that it is safe. If you continue to take the third step forward, it will be ten thousand zhang The abyss, but if you are not careful and retreat too much, the results of the previous reforms will fall short. Do you understand the scale here?"

Zhang Chengtian stretched out two thumbs, "Father, you are so tall! There are still people who say that if you stay in the court and assist the government, you will not have these troubles. In fact, if you continue to be in the court, you will inevitably have to worry about it." Take the third step forward with the Ming Dynasty! It is good to include the world and establish provinces, but the cost is too high and it is difficult to maintain it.

"Now that you and the Taishang Huang are both retreating, this is to avoid this ending. We can learn from the wisdom of the Han Dynasty, spend more time and work hard, slowly annex the eight wastelands, and establish a larger-scale unification!"

Zhang Chengtian was overjoyed, he finally figured it out, and he could turn to Zhu Biao.

"Father, the child will respond to the sky now, and go back to His Majesty."

Zhang Ximeng was taken aback, "Why are you in a hurry? I finally caught a fish, let's drink some fish soup."

Zhang Chengtian looked at the fish, which was not as big as a palm, and said with a grin: "You old man can enjoy it by yourself, my son will leave."

After saying that, the kid ran away, Zhang Ximeng stomped his feet in anger, you bastard! Little son of a bitch, I beg your father to point me out, I humbly point you out, just run away like a bastard!

Can you stay with me for a while?

Zhang Ximeng was complaining, but Zhang Chengtian turned around and came back.

"That father... I, I have already made a lifelong decision with Ms. Zeng."

"Miss Zeng? What Miss Zeng?"

"That's right, that blunt guy, a small family, a nice guy, don't be angry!" Zhang Chengtian backed up while talking, turned around and ran away.

"Father, I will work harder, next year, I will give birth to a granddaughter for you!"

Holding the fishing rod, Zhang Ximeng yelled, "You bastard, you dare to decide for life! Even if you gave birth to a long-legged pearl, I wouldn't care! Get out, get out as far as you can!"
