Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

When talking about Wei Wan, the first thing people think of is honesty, honesty, virtuous and upright.And Han Yan's impression of Wei Wan is that she is humble and uncontested.This is a true gentleman of modesty, who believes in Confucianism, and regards the two words of loyalty and filial piety as a standard.When Liu Che was still the crown prince, Wei Wan instilled in him a lot of Confucianism on how to govern the world, and once tried to educate Han Yan, but it was a pity that Han Yan was too stubborn and did not succeed.

The first piece of advice given to Liu Che by Wei Wan, who is now the prime minister, is "Order the Quartet and raise talents for the court."

"The most important way to govern the country is to respect the virtuous, use capable people, and let those who have both ability and integrity stay in official positions. In the past, Mozi also said that advocating virtuous people is the foundation of national administration. Only by appointing virtuous and capable officials can the government be clear." Wei Wan said.

Liu Che nodded thoughtfully.He also looked at Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin who were standing respectfully aside.

Sensing Liu Che's gaze, Han Yan lowered her head as if nothing had happened, while Zhou Mingjin said in agreement, "Wei Chen also thinks what the teacher said is right."

Liu Che listened patiently, but he didn't expect Zhou Mingjin to disappear after saying this sentence.After waiting for a while, Liu Che blinked in astonishment: "It's over?"

"It's over!" Zhou Mingjin puffed out his chest, speaking with confidence.

Liu Che shook his head helplessly, and asked by name: "Han Yan, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty has to do things when he ascends the throne. If he wants to do things, he needs people." Han Yan said ambiguously.

Liu Che knew that he couldn't get anything out of these two people.Turning to Wei Wan: "Then how can we find someone who is virtuous and talented?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, you can issue an edict to let the vassal states and the three lords and nine lords recommend talented people." Wei Wan said with a bow.

"Okay! Tomorrow when the court comes, I will issue a decree to let them recommend virtuous and upright people!" Liu Che clapped his hands and made a final decision.

Since it is the first great dynasty of the new emperor, the meaning is different.As the prime minister, Wei Wan still had full authority over this matter, and after receiving Liu Che's affirmative reply, Wei Wan, who had no spare time, left excitedly, ready to go with a look of excitement.

Looking at the back of the old man with his head held high, Han Yan shook his head inexplicably—if he knew that this move in history finally angered Empress Dowager Dou and even moved the emperor's mind, he himself would be forced to sue his old man and return to his hometown If so, can you still be as active as you are now?

"Han Yan, what are you thinking?" Liu Che couldn't help asking when he saw Han Yan's uncertain appearance.

"Nothing!" Han Yan shook her head.

"Why, do you have any doubts about Wei Wan's suggestion?" Liu Che asked.Because of Han Yan's almost exhaustive performance in everything in the past few years, Liu Che has a habit of being extremely dependent.It seems that if something is not approved by Han Yan, it must not be possible.Looking at Han Yan's bored appearance now, Liu Che couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

"The new emperor's ascension to the throne naturally requires a new look. Personnel changes are even more normal, otherwise there would be no such thing as one king and one courtier." Han Yan organized her words in her mind and said slowly. "But Your Majesty must remember that no matter what you do, there must be a degree in it!"

"Degree?" Liu Che was thoughtful when he heard the words.

"Not bad!" Han Yan nodded. "Prime Minister Wei is a humble gentleman, and he believes in Confucianism. Therefore, he thinks that Confucianism is good for everything, as if Confucianism is all that is needed to govern the world."

Liu Che raised his eyebrows. "Is not it?"

In the past few years, under the influence of Wei Wan and Wang Zang, he has also read a lot of classics on Confucianism governing the world, and he is slightly inclined to Confucianism in his heart.There is even a faint thought in my heart that I want to change the foundation of governing the country.

Han Yan has stayed by Liu Che's side for more than ten years. Every day when she is idle, it is Liu Che's thoughts that she speculates about. Looking at Liu Che's expression and tone, she knows that what he wants to do is similar to that in history, so she can't help but shake her head. "Not to mention, your Majesty's greatest wish is to let the banner of my great man fly above the king's tent of the Xiongnu in Mobei. Could it be that the generals just held "The Analects of Confucius" in their hands during the war?"

Liu Che's heart moved, he tilted his head and stopped talking.

Han Yan continued: "I don't know exactly what kind of talents are needed in the administration of the country. However, based on my experience in doing business for so many years, the accountants here don't settle accounts with "The Analects of Confucius", they have to hold accounts In the same way, officials who manage the economy in the country also need counting chips, right? When communicating and cooperating with other businessmen or even businessmen from other countries, I need to find those who are well-versed and articulate. The most important thing is that they have to understand If you are as magnanimous as Confucianism, if you are so magnanimous and generous, I guess I have been tricked by others, and I can’t earn my current family fortune. When a flood and earthquake occur at a certain point, the local administrator must have the ability to dispatch disaster relief, which is not something that can be done with just a book of "The Analects of Confucius."

Feeling dizzy from Han Yan's series of comparisons, Liu Che said angrily, "Then you mean that you don't think highly of Prime Minister Wei's recommendation?"

Han Yan smiled slightly. "It's good to recommend talents, there's nothing wrong with that. The key is what kind of test questions does His Majesty have to ask to find talents who meet your expectations?"

Liu Che blinked, and tilted to the side with great interest: "Continue talking."

"Let's talk about it first, what kind of exam questions does His Majesty prepare to test those talents in the school?" Han Yan asked.

Liu Che pondered for a moment, then said, "Just ask about the way to govern the country, and ask everyone to write a policy and submit it."

Han Yan remained silent.

"Why, this topic is wrong?" Liu Che raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. For example, your Majesty's question is like asking how to make delicious food." Han Yan replied in a roundabout way.

"Is there any problem?" Liu Che was still very modest in front of Han Yan.This is also one of the advantages of his early administration. As long as there is reason, he can be persuaded.It's not like the self-willedness of the later period.

"It's a big question. This question is too general. I can control the heat of each dish, use raw materials and even the ratio of ingredients to answer. If it is more detailed, I can even tell you which shape is the most delicious. You can also Fan Fan said in beautiful words that as long as the food is delicious, even the surrounding scenery and the people you eat with will affect the quality of the whole meal. It sounds convincing, but there is a huge difference between before and after." Han Yan paused, and explained: "Although the former may look dry, as long as the people who see it follow it, they can get a similar result even if they follow the gourd. The latter sounds impassioned, as if It’s very useful, but it’s too ethereal, and even everyone’s results are different. You must know that there is still a gap between ideas and actual actions, otherwise how can there be talk of arm’s length on paper?”

Liu Che frowned, his face sinking like water.After a while, Liu Che said slowly: "If you came to ask questions, what kind of questions would you ask?"

Han Yan smiled slightly: "If you're not in your position, you don't plan for your own affairs."

"Hurry up!" Liu Che pretended to be angry, "This is an order, if you dare to resist the order, you won't succeed. Not only you, Ming Jin also has to say something!"

Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin looked at each other and smiled.Han Yan said slowly: "It depends on what kind of talents your majesty wants to find. If you want to find talents in the field of collecting money, you have to test their ability to count and even economics. If you want to find talents in criminal punishment , we need to find someone who has read the law thoroughly, is cautious, and is good at finding clues and following the clues. If you are looking for talents who are good at military... This is best cultivated by His Majesty himself. Anyway, the Habayashi Army has been established, and the generals will do it in their spare time. Come to Shanglinyuan to teach, if His Majesty thinks it is not enough, you can also set up a military training school, which is responsible for cultivating high-level and middle-level generals, and open a school in the name of Your Majesty. With the feeling, the loyalty has also increased. If you are looking for talents who are good at farming, I personally think that the farmers or the Mohists can do it. The farmers are familiar with rice and chestnuts. The Mohist can improve farm tools, and even forge weapons, etc., which is not bad..."

"What do you mean by the military academy? Tell me more carefully!" Liu Che listened with gusto. After all, he was still interested in fighting.

Han Yanxuan talked about the concept of future generations of military academy with Liu Che in general, and felt that Liu Che was still very interested. Han Yan paused and said: "This thing is more troublesome, how about it! I'll go back and discuss this aspect. Think carefully about your thoughts, write a memorial and present it to His Majesty."

"That's fine too!" Liu Che nodded and asked Zhou Mingjin again. "Your thoughts?"

"Your Majesty probably wants to select talents from among the children from poor families." Seeing Liu Che nodded, Zhou Mingjin couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "However, the aristocratic family has been in business for many years. If Your Majesty only looks for the children from poor families this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to find talents." arouse their dissatisfaction."

Liu Che was a little unhappy at once, "I am the emperor, how can I be at the mercy of them when I choose a few people? Every one of them is a vegetarian, and I don't see them jumping around when the court employs people, and they run faster than anyone else when they are asking for rewards. Can I use such a person?"

Zhou Mingjin's face was hot when he said a word, and Han Yan was also a little uncomfortable.

Only then did Liu Che remember that his two companions could be regarded as "children of noble family officials", so he couldn't help laughing: "I didn't mention you."

Of course, he didn't mean to insinuate Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin, but from these words, Liu Che's resentment towards the noble family can be seen.Han Yan thought for a moment, then slowly said: "When the first emperor was in power, the word "check and balance" was the word he liked to say to His Majesty the most!"

Liu Che nodded and signaled Han Yan to continue.

"This check and balance means that the weight of the two parties should be equal in size, so that it is easy to balance." Han Yan said slowly. "The power of aristocratic families is really great now, and almost [-]% of the officials in the court are controlled by them."

When he said this, Liu Che curled his lips in an atmosphere.

"Your Majesty's accession to the throne is naturally to select talents. Recruiting talented people across the country is also a move to show His Majesty's wisdom." Han Yan patted Liu Che's horse irresponsibly, and Liu Che was very happy. "But if all of them use the words of the children of the poor family, it means to send a very clear message to the aristocratic family, that is, His Majesty does not like them. Their future is worrying. Under this situation, can they stay at ease? It will definitely be like jumping a bridge. Jumping around like a clown, all kinds of administrative measures involving His Majesty. If the two sides become stagnant, it will be difficult to handle!"

When Liu Che heard this, his heart tightened.He has stayed in the harem for so many years, not to mention anything else, but from the matter of changing the prince, he can see the power of the aristocratic family.If it is true as Han Yan said, all the family officials are fighting against her...

And Han Yan didn't say a word, how did Liu Che ascend to the throne?That was the full support of the eldest princess. To put it bluntly, it was the support of the noble family. Now that Liu Che has just ascended the throne, he will turn his guns to deal with the noble family.Such a reputation is not a good thing for an emperor whose status is not so stable.

After Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin repeatedly poured cold water on him, Liu Che's single-minded thought of respecting Confucianism faded away.At this time, there was another thing that he thought of. Although no one said it, this obstacle was the biggest reason why Liu Che had to suppress his thoughts—that was the Empress Dowager.

This is the largest family of officials in the world today, and it is also the most devout believer in Huang Lao's theory of doing nothing.She regards every word of Taoism as a golden rule. If anyone dares to change the country, she can really fight to the death.However, no matter whether it is the new emperor Liu Che or those famous families, they will not ignore this old lady in the deep palace who deterred the emperor of the second dynasty and will soon deter the emperor of the third dynasty. Her political skills and her scheming are not given for nothing. , I was really going to be aroused by the fury of thunder, not to mention one Liu Che, even ten Liu Ches couldn't stop it! (It is estimated that this is also the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty honestly stayed in Shanglin Garden for five years after the old lady dismissed Zhao Wan, Wang Zang, and even Dou Ying Tianfu in a fit of anger. No one else, just avoiding the edge. )

In this way, under repeated dissuasion by Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin, and under the threat of the old lady in the deep palace who hadn't shown her face yet, Liu Che restrained his desire to praise Confucianism somewhat embarrassingly.By the way, I also changed the test questions in a dull way——

After all, the young emperor was a pragmatist.There is no attachment of a pure believer at all, as long as it is beneficial to his rule, it doesn't matter what Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Mohism.His ultimate goal is to create a peaceful and prosperous world that shocks the world when he ascends the throne.As for the means, it doesn't matter at all!
