0636 Han and Tang Dynasties can be divided into civil and military
Liu Haojia continued: "But Taizu alone can't conquer the world, so there is a group of people like Xungui! And everything Xungui has is given by the royal family, and they live together with the country, so they naturally look forward to this
The longer the country lasts, the better! But the civil servants may not be grateful to the royal family, because they feel that their positions are obtained through imperial examinations and decades of struggle in the officialdom, so they don't care when they hollow out the country.
! On the contrary, according to them, governing the country can never be separated from civil servants like them, even if the emperor is changed, or even the court is changed! In this case, how can they care about the life and death of the court? Of course they want to go to Dalio
Special catch!"
Then Liu Haojia explained to Zhang Shi the principle that a court should pay equal attention to civil and military affairs, balance each other, and supervise each other, and then the emperor should be in the middle to regulate.
He also made an analogy, that is, the emperor is the head of the family, and the nobles are relatives of the family head. They are the real masters of the family. And those civil servants are just stewards and accountants. But now they act openly
They occupy the greatest power and oppress Huang Quan and Xungui! If this continues, this country will eventually be hollowed out by them!
At the end, Liu Haojia sneered and said: "These civil servants always say that the country's demise must be caused by a foolish emperor, and the nobles are the minions of the foolish emperor! But you don't even think about how many people there are in the royal family, and how many nobles there are.
? Even if we eat gold and drink silver every day, how much money can we use? And how many civil servants are there in the world? How many gentry are there? They evade taxes and extort the people, but they blame the royal family and the nobles for all this!
When they finish the country, they only need to write in the history books that a certain emperor is fatuous and his nobles oppressed the people, making the people miserable and finally revolt! Then they can pat their butts and pledge allegiance to the new master!"
Liu Haojia's words made Zhang Shi break out in cold sweat! He felt that many things Liu Haojia said were in conflict with his previous ideas. In a daze, he subconsciously said: "But it is indeed impossible to effectively govern a place without civil servants!"
Liu Haojia chuckled and said: "It is said that the Han and Tang Dynasties were powerful, but could they distinguish between civil and military officials at that time?"
Zhang Shi is also a leader in the inner study room. Although he cannot say that he is familiar with history books, he definitely knows it quite well. After Liu Haojia reminded him, he immediately remembered many things! He couldn't help but subconsciously said: "That's really the case! Then
There seems to be no difference between civil and military affairs!"
Liu Haojia said: "That's natural! One of the reasons why the Han and Tang Dynasties were strong was that they were not divided into civil and military officials, and only those who were able were promoted! Eunuch Zhang, look at the Song Dynasty. They shouted all day long about sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, but in the end everyone
You can bully them! You can’t even solve the internal rebellion!”
Zhang Shi wiped his sweat hard and said: "But the nobles of our country are indeed, well, they are indeed not very lively!"
Liu Haojia laughed and said: "Eunuch Zhang, don't forget, since the civil servants became more powerful, they have fooled the royal family into raising these people like pigs. Do you still expect two unicorns to escape from the pig's nest? You can only raise them.
Only by raising them as unicorns can they really raise unicorns!"
The beads of sweat on Zhang Shi's forehead became even thicker when he heard these words! Because these words already related to national policy, he really didn't dare to interrupt anymore. And Liu Haojia also accepted it and said: "Eunuch Zhang, let's
It’s useless for the two of you to talk about this here, it all needs to be decided by Long Live Lord!”
Zhang Shi nodded repeatedly when he heard this and let out a sigh of relief! However, he had already made up his mind to tell the truth about Liu Haojia's words when he met the Queen Mother after returning. As for comments, he did not dare to comment anymore!
At this time Liu Haojia said: "Eunuch Zhang, you have been walking around Tianjin these days and can see everything clearly inside and outside. How do you feel?"
Zhang Shi felt much more relaxed when he mentioned this topic. He smiled and said: "Okay! Very good! Very good! The so-called peace and prosperity of the country and the people are nothing more than this!"
Liu Haojia immediately held up his hands and said, "In that case, when my father-in-law goes back, he must say a few kind words for me in front of the Queen Mother and Long Live Lord!"
Zhang Shi laughed loudly and said: "Also, with what you have done, there is no need for us to give you good words! Just tell the truth according to what we have seen!"
After saying this, the rest of the conversation became more relaxed. Liu Haojia picked up some anecdotes from the construction of Tianjin and told them as jokes. Hearing Zhang Shi laugh out loud, it was considered a great time for both host and guest!
When the two had finished chatting, Liu Haojia said: "I think after today's fuss, this account can no longer be investigated! I will host a banquet for Eunuch Zhang tonight, and we will arrange your return tomorrow. There are really too many things going on here in Tianjin.
I really can’t afford to spend time with these people!”
Zhang Shi nodded and said: "Well, anyway, this farce has indeed come to an end. But there is no need to hold a banquet. After all, we are here together. The Marquis entertains our family alone to show their face."
It doesn’t look good!”
Liu Haojia snorted and said, "What qualifications do they have to comment?"
Eunuch Zhang said with a smile: "Master Hou just thought about it for our family and asked us to have someone to talk to on the way back! Otherwise, if our family had eaten the banquet hosted by Master Hou, we would not even have the people to talk to on the way back.
No!"
Liu Haojia laughed and said: "Forget it, let's just follow my father-in-law. I will go back to the capital anyway. When I get back to the capital, I will make an appointment with Zhang Banban to sit down with me."
Zhang Shi naturally agreed, then got up and left. Liu Haojia naturally got up and saw him off.
When Zhang Shi returned to the room, he heard He Xianli say as soon as he entered the door: "Eunuch Zhang, you just came back! We discussed it and concluded that there is nothing to check in the accounts here in Tianjin. Why don't we return tomorrow?"
Zhang Shi nodded and said: "Okay, okay! Our family just happened to be tired from traveling around Tianjin, so it's time to go back to the capital to recuperate!"
In just a few words, a few people decided on a date to return to Beijing, and sent someone to notify Liu Haojia. Since the two sides were at odds, Liu Haojia would not give them face, and simply replied with three words, "I know!" and even sent him a gift.
They didn't mean to give it away.
However, a few people knew what was going on. They honestly returned to the inn to pack their luggage, and left Tianjin in despair with a large group of people early the next morning.
The journey back to the capital this time was naturally smooth, but their mood was completely different from when they came. A few people had a brief discussion on the way and rushed back to the capital in a hurry. It happened to be evening when they entered the capital, and they were about to arrive.
