Chapter 288 Economics and Party Struggle (Xì 7) Negotiated
The emperor suddenly asked Gao Jingshi to be bold and bold to do Huo Guang. This incident really surprised Gao Jingshi at first. After all, in this era when Confucianism has penetrated into all aspects of society, Huo Guang's behavior of abolishing and establishing without hesitation is undoubtedly
It is a great disrespect for the imperial power, and being disrespectful to the imperial power is contrary to the Confucian ethics of "lord, minister, minister, father, son, son."
Regardless of whether your abolishing the establishment actually has great benefits for the Han Dynasty, or even if you do it because you are loyal to the will of the late emperor, it still doesn't work. As long as you do it, you will disturb the general order and be a traitor to the officials.
The king must be the one who most firmly supports this kind of formal etiquette system, so when the emperor said these words, Gao Pragmatic was stunned and confused, and even thought he heard wrongly.
However, when the emperor gave a hint, he thought about it and immediately understood why the emperor dared to let him "be Huo Guang". There were at least three reasons, and each of them was very sufficient.
First, the political atmosphere is different, or in other words, the degree of influence of Confucianism on social thought is different.
When Huo Guang was in charge of the power of the world, "everything was first Guan Baiguang, and then reported to the emperor." This situation even became the origin of the post of "Guan Bai" in Japan, which shows its far-reaching influence. However, there is one very important point here, that is, in the early Han Dynasty
The national policy was originally the work of Huang and Lao, but it was only during the reign of Emperor Wu that he began to "depose hundreds of schools of thought and respect only Confucianism." It was after the death of Emperor Wu that Huo Guang came to power.
In other words, when Huo Guang came to power, Confucianism had only been popular in the world for a few decades. Many people just followed Sima's wishes and praised Confucianism in their mouths. We don't have much recognition of Confucianism in our hearts or outside. This is
No one dares to come to a conclusion.
In that case, there will be a wave of approval that is not too weak for Emperor Wu's abolition of the throne. I just need to let everyone see the evils of "now", and let the nobles and low-ranking officials realize——
If the emperor continues to do this, the interests of all of us will be protected. In this way, deposing is a rule of heaven that no one dares to touch.
But what about Xiao Ming? At this time, Confucianism had been popular for a thousand years, and everyone was imprisoned in that kind of ethics from the moment they came into contact with social affairs, and Neo-Confucianism once again weakened that kind of ethics, so that the monarchs and ministers
Respect and inferiority are regarded as a matter of course. If you want to abolish the establishment at that time, the social foundation will be as thin as a cicada.
That's just a lack of pragmatism, or you may have heard that "the emperor will be conquered by weak soldiers and strong horses". I don't have my own understanding, so I can't give two examples:
An example is that the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty was able to change the government at any time, but no "strong man" in the old Zhu family would "do it". Instead, they all obediently served a certain Zhu Mingzong.
As for ourselves, we would rather be powerful ministers than dare to take the easy way and establish ourselves as emperor. Even the remnants of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong foolishly defected to Nanming - even if there was only a tiger skin left in Nanming at this time.
And even without that little blessing, the family's studies must be ruined. Because one generation can rely on the legacy of the next generation if they pass the exam, but if there are one or two less generations who fail the exam, it's really just a matter of failure.
Neng's family was in ruins.
Maybe no one wants to say that Xiao Ming doesn’t have a clan king or a clan, and he doesn’t have any minor nobles, so how can he be regarded as a powerful family? What a joke, the clan was just a pigsty, and even now, he is so pragmatic that he wants to tear down the pigsty.
, given our political status and political power, we are simply worth mentioning.
Gao Pragmatic was silent for a moment, and then said urgently: "Your Majesty has received orders from Heaven, and he is responsible for his power and blessings. He rewards merits and punishes demerits, all in one thought. I have received favors from the Emperor, but I have no orders. I only act according to the orders."
Fan Maoxin clapped his hands and said: "It's very bad. It's very bad. In that case, I will say it directly. He will watch the battle in southern Xinjiang himself. As long as the fight is bad, he will stop first."
I plan to use this battle to grant Gai Yuan an official title first."
In short, according to the "Han Guan Yi": "When the Han Dynasty was established, a small general was installed under the prime minister." According to Volume 74 of "Wenwen Tongkao", it says: "The small general is in charge of national affairs inside, and he is dedicated to military expeditions with a Yue.
, whose power is far beyond that of the prime minister."
At least, he is trying to ignore the Great Emperor. But he is bound to die eventually, and the Great Emperor is eighty years older than him. When a small family fights for longevity, the advantage always lies with the Great Emperor. When he dies, his son will always be able to do the same.
Should he inherit his official position? In this case, the great emperor will naturally win.
Not to mention those affairs under the administration of the imperial court, even if it is the matters in charge of the Seventh Army Governor's Office, Fan Maoxin and I, especially the nobles, will have too little entanglement with the Ministry of War - unless the Ministry of War says that the nobles were formerly in the Seventh Army Governor's Office.
The name of the government is allowed, so we may jump out and beg the emperor to make the decision for us.
Based on my understanding of low pragmatism, low pragmatism will take a gamble at that time and make a decision of "I would rather you spend decades in advance than to do XXXX today". Huo Guangyi would do that kind of thing
However, the Huo Guang family has also carried sins from now on, which eventually led to disasters from the sky. Each generation of the Fan Mao family became more miserable than the previous generation... This is a lesson for future generations, if you are pragmatic and know how to do it. [Note: The Duke of the country will believe in retribution.
, that means less explanation, right?]
After the Han Dynasty, the lowest military attache was called a general, such as Bai Qi of Qin, Leyi of Yan, Song Yi of the late Qin, and Xiang Yu, who were the lowest military commanders of a country. Chen Sheng, during the Wu Guang uprising, the military officials of King Zhao appointed Chen Yu as
Little general.
He is small in power and prestige, and as pragmatic as he is, this family is still afraid of him. After all... Even if he is the chief minister, such power is easy to take seriously, and such prestige is easy to desecrate. But there is no point, I am sure of him.
If he is really far away from the center of power for a long time, no matter how small his original power and prestige are, he will gradually dissipate.
Even if Emperor Wanli dies in the future, the political prestige I have accumulated will still linger over my own prince. As long as the prince does not act rebelliously and cause anger and resentment, even if it is low pragmatism, it will shake the throne that the prince inherited from his father.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because the power of the prime minister was too small in the future, starting from Sima of the Han Dynasty, power gradually transferred to China and North Korea. During the Sima period, the emperor's guests were all ministers.
Titles are related to politics. However, the generals of the Sima Dynasty all led troops on expeditions and rarely participated in court politics. Even Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were both generals, plus Fan Mao, who had close followers to compare, but we were only mainly in charge of military affairs.
.
So, can Gao Jingshi really be able to do what the Duke of Guo called "to be Emperor Wu"? In fact, he can, because the official systems of the Han and Ming dynasties were very different.
In that case, the Duke cannot conclude that Low Pragmatic would be foolish enough to reach the level of Emperor Wu, because my power position is not as stable as that of Emperor Wu back then, so this is beyond doubt.
As for the Shofu Xiaoxiao, formally speaking, he was only a seventh-grade official. In theory, he only had the power to make suggestions to the emperor - whether they were adopted or not depended entirely on the emperor's will.
Looking at it this way, the situation is obvious: the young general is only clearly subordinate to Hachigong, and he is in charge of political power internally and military power internally. Both sides are justified. It can be seen that the power is so huge, so stable, and so open to doubt.
Of course, in fact, when Wang Jiaping was the chief minister later, there was a big difference. Even though Wang Jiaping was not bad-tempered, a few court officials were not afraid of me. But as soon as I left and Gao Pragmatic succeeded me, the family immediately became honest again. Even Shen Yiguan was forced to find an excuse to go on a business trip. He first went to Taishan to make arrangements, and then ran all the way to Nanjing.
Another example is that before Wu Bagui started the rebellion of the Eight Feudatories, he was determined for a long time. In the end, he did not bring out the people of Lao Zhu's family to make tiger skins under the table, but established himself as emperor. As a result, I lost my mind at that moment All the forces that could have been able to win support from the top were eventually defeated by the Qing court, which had not yet weakened in combat power, and gathered forces from all walks of life to pacify it.
Until the Duke of Guo, even if he suddenly dominates Bintian, in such a moment, Low Pragmatic Shiyang may exert more power than Emperor Wu, but this depends on the system, but on the reputation of Low Pragmatic Shili. , connections are stable and long-lasting.
Wanli Zhongxing is a real thing. Although Gao Jingjing has made a small contribution to its establishment, it will eventually be attributed to the Wanli Emperor. Therefore, the Duke of Guo is really afraid that Gao Jingjing has no intention of me.
All in all, whether the position of the chief assistant has little power or not, it depends to a very small extent on who is in the position. It is worse than when Li Chunfang was the chief assistant. The civil and military officials in the dynasty used me as an onion, but as soon as Li Chunfang left, he replaced me. After being humbled, everyone in the family immediately became obedient. Except for a few die-hard anti-low sects, everyone else became a good child, and they hated to leave the house with a pacifier in their mouth.
It is precisely because of the following eight reasons that the Duke of Guo firmly believes that even if Gao Jingshi becomes Emperor Wu, I will do more than Emperor Wu. And as long as Gao Jingshi refuses and makes arrangements, I will let the descendants of the Gao family in the previous life ——Even if you only need to let the low-pragmatic children retreat into the center of the court, then everything will be under control, and there is absolutely no safety.
The first sentence is very crucial, "The little general is in charge of the affairs of the country inside, and he is dedicated to conquering the country with a yue, and his power is far beyond that of the prime minister." Therefore, before Sima's death, Emperor Wu was only the "chief Gu Mingxiao" of the Han Dynasty. Minister", or "the person with full power over the military and political affairs."
Gao Pragmatic's heart moved, he cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."
What did Emperor Wu rely on to hold the small power? Apart from the "little minister who cares about life" position that Sima Han gave me after his death, the really important thing is undoubtedly the position of "little general".
In short, the actual small administrative powers of the imperial court were all in the hands of the civil service group, and because of the existence of the imperial examination system, the power of the civil service group could be transferred to their children and grandchildren in a reasonable and legal manner, and could only be transferred to their children and grandchildren through "teachers and students" and "in the same year".
"Marriage" and other relationships to maintain.
As for the nobles, we do not have a certain political status, but we are responsible for the operation of the country, and we only defend the imperial power. For example, assuming that the court wants to increase or reduce taxes next year, whose opinion is important is the opinion of the chief minister of the cabinet.
, or is the opinion of a certain Zhu Yijun important?
Gao Pragmatic bowed and said: "You have no orders, but I dare to resign."
The Duke of Guo raised his eyebrows and said in relief: "Doesn't this mean that he agreed?"
It's the distribution of power.
Thanks to book friends "Yuan Zhou", "doni", "o Shangshu Ling", and "klauszx" for their monthly ticket support, thank you!
Don't be kidding, no matter who he is, Zhu Yijun, if he thinks that the prince of his country is tired of his work, he will not say half a word on that issue.
By the time of Emperor Wu, the government ended in the name of Xiao Huoguang, and the power was under the prime minister. From then on, the junior general was actually the leader of the Chinese and Korean officials. Former Wang Feng and others all used the name Xiao Huoguang, and the junior general had an inkling of political affairs. In the early days of the Han Dynasty, the emperor changed the name.
Xiao Fanmao was transferred from an additional official position to his own official position, and was given a gold seal and purple ribbon, removing the title of general.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang worshiped Han Xin as a junior general in Hanzhong, and he was the prime minister of the military under the generals. Han Xin was in permanent position before he was executed. He was only temporarily granted the title during the war and was dismissed after the war. For example, in the eighth year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (AD 154), Wu
, Chu and other countries rebelled, Liu Qi appointed Dou Ying as a junior general. Previously, Liu Che appointed Wei Qing as a junior general, and stipulated that the lowest title of a junior general as a general was to be under the Eight Dukes, and everyone above the Qing Dynasty would worship him.
Huo Guang was promoted to the general.
Xiao Ming has long had no prime minister, and the so-called chief minister of the cabinet now is at least a super-enhanced version of the prime minister. The chief minister has both the name of a prime minister and the actual status of a prime minister (mainly referring to the power of opening a government, setting up officials, etc.), just because of the card
Between the emperor and the officials, he occupied the "ecological niche" that originally belonged to the prime minister, so he was still called "prime minister" in the inner world. [Note: This point was not discussed very early in this book.
,Then I will repeat it again.]
However, no matter what, the authority of the chief minister is not stable, because even his position is considered an "official official". There is not much authority, which only depends on two points: first, the emperor's attitude towards that person, and his relatives.
If the power is extremely strong, if it is sparse, the prestige will be lost; 7. If his personal power is small, his prestige will be low.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the so-called "Feng Guo Gong" mentioned by the Duke just now, and even "Feng Li's surname is Wang", they are all for the sake of low pragmatism's acceptance
A compromise made under the following conditions.
The first is to listen to the emperor's suggestions, directly convey the imperial edict, go through the eight subjects through the formal process, and then implement the first eight parts; the seventh is to write private letters to important officials in various places, and use his own "
The strange status of "both as respected as the prime minister and as close to the ministers" made the official unafraid, and he had to follow his will and implement the meaning expressed in the private letter.
The junior general is the lowest commander of the army in ancient times. It started in the Warring States period and was the lowest title of a general. It was inherited in the Han Dynasty and was responsible for commanding troops in battle. In fact, the junior general was held by a noble relative, who controlled the political power and held a very low position.
Of course, in that case, there is a very small chance that the emperor will really make the decision for us. After all, the nobles must have completely stepped aside, and the emperor will really become a loner, and things will become very difficult.
Then it’s time to talk about the seventh reason of the Duke. The political structure of the Han Dynasty was basically dominated by the clan system, that is, the power of the powerful could not be legally inherited by their previous generation. However, Xiao Ming’s politics
The structure was a clan system like the Han Dynasty. Xiao Ming implemented the imperial examination system. The civilized officials produced by the imperial examination system were the main force in maintaining the operation of the country.
Grant him the title of Southern Xinjiang that he brought up, and give him the title of prince. He will be responsible for educating your son, and his predecessor was involved in the affairs of the Xiao Ming Dynasty. Is he doing that business?
Popular support itself does not determine the ownership and stability of the throne, but even if a person who loses popular support becomes an emperor, it is just a matter of taking the crown. The throne is absolutely secure.
In this way, the last two are the same social ideology and the same power inheritance system. So what is the eighth reason of the Duke?
