At this time, Zhong Yao lay on the ground and asked:
"Your Majesty, for what crime will you convict the general?"
The little emperor didn't care and replied as he should:
"Shouldn't the domineering general die?"
Zhong Yao nodded, but still insisted:
"Damn it, but even if you kill him, you still need to be famous. After all, He Jin is both the general of the Han Dynasty and your Majesty's uncle. Even if you don't respond to the ministers from other dynasties, you still have to explain it to the Queen Mother."
The little emperor thought for a moment and gave a reason:
"Just because there is no emperor in the world, why should he hide his armor secretly? He will be sentenced to death!"
Zhong Yao secretly thought that this was indeed the case, and then he shook his head and admonished:
"Your Majesty, I think there is one more crime, that is, General He Jin deducted the food and salary of the frontline officers and soldiers, so as to cause the frontline to be defeated. Failure to kill him will not satisfy the anger of the entire army."
As soon as the little emperor heard this suggestion, he immediately realized that he was going to put the responsibility for the defeat on He Jin.
But that was the case anyway. As a general, he should also be responsible for this failure.
Thinking of this, the little emperor once again thought that there was no way to go forward without being unjust.
But in fact, the little emperor only thought about the first level, and Zhong Yao was actually thinking about the future. After killing He Jin, the troops in his hands would definitely be surprised, and once there was this reason, the generals would know
The little emperor will not take action against them.
Only in this way can the army be stable.
It can be said that the little emperor benefited a lot from having Zhong Yao to advise him.
However, the little emperor only understood that the first layer was enough, so he had to add this line to the cloth.
But at this time, Zhong Yao stopped him again and expressed his second concern:
"Your Majesty, He Jin's crime is easy to convict, but he must be cautious in dealing with his party members."
Seeing Liu Bian's confusion, Zhong Yao sighed inwardly, and then started to explain it to Liu Bian.
In Zhong Yao's narration, Liu Bian finally understood the meaning of the teacher's words.
Most people would think that the emperor has supreme authority, and whoever he wants will die. But in fact, the emperor's power is also limited. This limitation is not an institutional limitation, but depends on the emperor's local health and control.
Information.
In other words, if an emperor wants to be qualified, he must at least receive a systematic imperial education.
Needless to say, there has been no qualified emperor in the Han Dynasty for a long time.
For example, Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang were both trained as emperor preparers, and both ascended the throne at a young age, so they were qualified emperors from the beginning.
But Emperor Zhang died after less than ten years as emperor, leaving behind an emperor who was only ten years old. From that time on, the dynasty began to fall into a terrible cycle of suspicion between the young master and the country.
After Emperor Shun's death, General Liang Ji first supported Emperor Zhi, and then he poisoned the young emperor because he expressed dissatisfaction with Emperor Shun. Then he supported Emperor Huan, who was only fifteen years old.
As a member of the royal family of Hebei, Emperor Huan had never been trained as an emperor. There was no way he could receive royal education, so he was unqualified.
Later, Emperor Huan died without heirs, and history cycled again. Liu Hong, a member of the Hebei royal family, was welcomed into the palace as emperor.
And Liu Hong did not receive an imperial education.
Until Liu Bian and Liu Xie, they can be said to be the only two princes in the Han Dynasty who have received systematic education in the past century. Thanks to their father's long time in power, the two brothers were able to obtain a complete princely education.
Therefore, Liu Bian's ability at this time is not a problem, which is also unanimously recognized by Zhong Yao and others.
But Liu Bian still lacks one piece, and that is the precipitation of time.
As an emperor, he naturally has a weakness, that is, he is always in the palace and lacks sufficient understanding of the situation outside the palace.
Therefore, this often results in them being out of touch with reality and being fooled by ministers from other dynasties.
Even though Liu Bian has political knowledge and the talent for power and struggle, in the final analysis he is still a twelve-year-old child. He has too little knowledge of the outside world and has no understanding of the complex interpersonal relationships of foreign ministers.
As Liu Bian's teacher, Zhong Yao has no doubt that if Liu Bian is given ten years of training, he will definitely become an excellent king, but Liu Bian does not have these ten years.
That's why Zhong Yao had to remind Liu Bian to pay attention to one thing, that is, he must be cautious when deciding who to join the party.
If Liu Bian has been in charge of the court for ten years, he must know exactly what the relationship between the ministers in the foreign court is. Liu Bian can decide who is in the same party as He Jin.
And with ten years of experience in governing, Liu Bian has long been able to cultivate a team of people. Those who obey will be rewarded with high officials and generous salaries, while those who disobey will be demoted to death.
As long as you don't act clumsy or willful, you can give opportunities to those who are really talented. And those who are vegetarians, young or old, can also be dismissed.
When the time comes, the little emperor will naturally be able to pierce the iron grip of the empire's rule.
After all, in this era of human rule, as long as the little emperor cultivates an excellent team of bureaucrats, he can firmly control the court.
But not now. Liu Bian only knows some ministers now, but not all the ministers who carry out the work. How can he determine his relationship with He Jin?
At that time, we can only hand over the power to draw up the list to others, which will probably lead to a catastrophe.
Because Zhong Yao understands that the shaky Guandong court can still be maintained now, in addition to the identity of the little emperor, it relies on those foreign court officials who do specific things.
If they were killed indiscriminately, the Kanto court would be paralyzed immediately.
Why can't we kill the evil one? It won't work either.
