"Is it him?" The exclamation came from the two lovely wives. Wang Yu was just stunned, while Cai Yong looked at him with a very meaningful look, as if he wanted to observe from his expression and behavior.
What comes.
Unexpected and reasonable.
Now he knows what his father is most worried about.
Like marching operations, the Qingzhou New Deal led by Wang Yu was actually summed up by him from historical experience and lessons. He put forward propositions, which were refined by the shogunate and implemented one by one.
The outside world doesn't know much about this. The world sees Wang Yu from the perspective of an invincible general. The most commonly used comparison is to Xiang Yu, not to any ancient wise king or usurping minister.
Although Wang Kuang is not in power, he has a very intuitive understanding of everything that happened in Qingzhou. This understanding gave him a very bad association, so he asked today's question.
Wang Yu understood this very well.
Wang Mang was originally a strange flower in history.
Wang Yu had seen discussions about this person on the forum. Many people unanimously believed that this person was a failed time traveler because his new policy was too in the style of later generations.
His new policies included: official reform, state ownership of land, equal distribution of land, suppression of powerful people, and government intervention in the economy. Each of these measures was unprecedented. Even in the nearly two thousand years that followed, there were no similar policies in China.
On the earth.
What really resonated with him had to wait until the bearded man named Marx appeared in Europe in the 18th century...
At this moment, there are only more than two hundred years since Wang Mang usurped the throne. Many scholars still remember this, and Wang Kuang, a foolish and loyal diehard, is no exception.
It is conceivable that when the old man discovered many similar signs between Qingzhou's New Deal and Wang Mang's chaotic rule, his mood was indescribably complicated.
I didn't mention it before because the fighting was still fierce in Hebei. No matter how foolish and loyal Old Wang Kuang was, he still knew the importance and would not disturb Wang Yu at such a critical moment.
Now that the situation has been decided, Wang Kuang heard that Wang Yu had invited Liu Yu to come for an alliance. He was worried that his son would make a big mistake in his pursuit of quick success, so he hurried over to prepare for an in-depth discussion.
He had always known Wang Yu's eloquence and adaptability, so he did not intend to use any techniques. He just expressed his concerns one by one to make the latter change his mind or give a reasonable explanation.
Wang Yu thought for a moment and then slowly said: "Father, father-in-law, Qingzhou's New Deal and Wang Mang's New Deal are actually different..." Without giving Wang Kuang a chance to argue, after finishing one sentence, he sped up his speech:
"The appearance may be similar, but the spirit of governance is completely different."
Of course it's different. The foundation of Qingzhou's New Deal was established by Wang Yu with the intention of changing the Chinese civilization's rise and fall over hundreds of years, and its downward trend in continuous reincarnations. He and Ma Dabeard were in the industrial revolution period, and established
The fantasy of a heaven on earth is completely different.
"Father, who do you think is responsible for today's troubled times? If Qingzhou does the same thing as other princes, what will happen to the Han Dynasty in the future? Is there any hope of salvation?"
Wang Kuang frowned and said nothing.
This proposition has been debated among scholars all over the world.
The mainstream opinion is that the fault is attributed to Huan and Ling's second brother's stupidity and failure to practice virtuous governance, so disasters and chaos occurred. Some people are unwilling to blame the emperor directly, but specifically blame the relatives and eunuchs.
It is precisely because of the bewitchment of these people that upright gentlemen cannot gain a foothold in the government and rectify the country. This is the end of the world.
Wang Kuang neither supports nor supports these two mainstream views.
As a foolish loyalist, he would not be able to accuse the emperor. As for his relatives, Wang Kuang served in the General's Office at that time, and He Jin was his relatives. He was kind to Wang Kuang, so from He Jin's actions,
Wang Kuang doesn't see anything that would harm the country or the people.
Therefore, in the end, all this can only be blamed on the eunuchs.
However, after Wang Yu came to power, the mainstream opinions in Qingzhou were different. Wang Yu's die-hard supporters represented by Kong Rong claimed that the culprit of this disaster was a powerful family.
It was their efforts to annex land that left the common people with no place to stand, creating refugees all over the world, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion; it was they who disrupted the court, causing frequent turmoil in the court; it was also they who recruited private armies to fight against the court.
The orders and edicts were violated in both positive and negative ways, and this was how the princes divided the world.
This view is very popular in Qingzhou, because more than half of the people in Qingzhou are members of the Yellow Turban Party, and have suffered greatly from the abuses of the powerful.
Although Wang Kuang didn't fully believe it, he was somewhat affected. Of course, if Wang Yu argued with him on this issue, he would definitely argue with reason, but Wang Yu suddenly put forward a hypothesis, and Wang Kuang didn't know how to answer.
.
Cai Yong suddenly smiled and ordered: "Yan'er, go and get a pot of wine to cook. I haven't talked to Peng Ju for a long time. Today I just want to hear how Peng Ju judges the heroes of the world."
Jia Xu suggested that Wang Yu invite Cai Yong to be present, which was indeed reasonable. When he interrupted, the atmosphere immediately relaxed. The smell of confrontation became lighter, and the warm feeling of a family gathering became stronger.
Cai Yanlan was so good at heart that she didn't know what her father meant. She immediately stood up and called out to the tent door, and someone brought wine. The wine was cooked with bare hands, and the fragrance overflowed. Wang Kuang was worried about this.
When the scenery came into view, the suffocation in my chest immediately dissipated a lot.
"Only Brother Bozhe's talents can teach such a good woman."
Cai Yong chuckled and joked: "Children have their own destiny, what does it have to do with an old guy like me? Besides, no matter how good the daughter is, she belongs to someone else's family in the end. No, a good daughter is not cheap.
You old guy?"
Wang Kuang knew that his old friend was reminding him that he should not get too involved in the affairs of the younger generation, otherwise the estrangement between father and son would be difficult to repair. After all, his son was already a famous hero in the world, and the affairs between father and son were no longer
It was just a family matter. But no matter what, he still wanted to find out, otherwise he would really not be at ease.
He flicked his long beard, took a deep breath of the fragrant breath, and said proudly: "My son-in-law is also my son-in-law. Brother Bozhe said it's pitiful, but he also took advantage of me? I don't care about you.
, you better not talk about this matter."
The two elders looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
In a moment, the wine was cooked, and Cai Yan and his two daughters served it to them respectively. Then they sat back beside their husband, one on the left and the other on the right. Wang Yu felt a little tickled by the cute look with low eyebrows.
Of course, now is not the time to be distracted. The existence of the two lovely wives is mainly to ease the atmosphere. If you want to eliminate the doubts in dad's heart, you still have to rely on your own knowledge.
Turning the wine cup in his hand, thinking about the words, Wang Yu spoke slowly: "The feud between the princes damages the dignity of the emperor, the well-being of all the people in the world, and the vitality of Chinese civilization. The lower the emperor's dignity, the more likely it is to tamper with it.
It is easy to happen. In fact, some of the surrendered ministers of Jizhou confessed that before Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, he and Han Fu supported Liu Yu to pave the way for his future access to Dabao."
Both elders were moved: "His Yuan family has been deeply blessed by the Holy Spirit for generations, how dare he have such a rebellious and unethical intention?"
"Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo has set a precedent, and Yuan Shao is expected to reach the top of his power and position. Why not look forward to making further progress?" Wang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a ray of soul-stirring cold light burst out: "
In fact, if Brother Bogui hadn't been around, would Liu Yu have firmly refused? Who can judge?"
Wang Kuang was still convinced of Liu Yu's moral character, but Wang Yu kept making assumptions and it was hard for him to argue. Moreover, Wang Yu didn't leave him any room to interrupt, so he just brushed it off.
"Before Dong Zhuo's chaos, Liu Yan, Liu Biao and others invited themselves out of the capital, nominally to preserve the blood and vitality of the royal family. But if His Majesty is really unfortunate, who will be the emperor? Can it be resolved peacefully in the end?
The Lu princes are all shrewd people, even if they cannot see it themselves, someone will remind them."
"If it were not for Qingzhou, in the end of this battle to win the world, it would be nothing more than the most powerful and powerful ministers deposing and establishing others, while the rest, not to be outdone, would establish their own kingdoms and proclaim themselves kings and emperors. In a battle
In the protracted war, my vitality was slowly depleted, and at the same time, I was coveted by new careerists."
"As long as things in the world have begun, it will not be difficult to follow suit. The same is true for things like usurpation. Even if the world is finally reunited, as long as the wind of usurpation has begun, it will not stop. For the supreme power
, princes will fight among themselves, and the children and grandchildren of careerists will also fight. Isn’t the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the early years of this dynasty the best example?"
"If we do not suppress it from the beginning, but instead use various methods of co-optation and compromise, we will create a large number of careerists. Therefore, the basic principle of Qingzhou's New Deal is to suppress the powerful."
"Now Qingzhou has a vague image of being the most powerful in the world. As long as the children can't rebel, who dares to get ahead? Internally prevent the emergence of careerists, and externally suppress the heroes so that they dare not go beyond the rules. As long as Qingzhou's soldiers and horses can't win,
If we fail, the troubled times will end at the minimum cost."
"Of course, it is not enough to end the troubled times. The real problem is how to pass on the name of Han Dynasty forever and never extinguish the glory. I don't understand Wang Mang's mentality in implementing the New Deal, nor do I know what his goal is, but
Emperor Wu used civil and martial arts, but this is what children yearn for."
Wang Yu's previous long speech covered a lot of content and was very impressive. Wang Kuang couldn't get in a word for a while, but Wang Yu said that he had Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as his ambition, which reassured the old man and raised doubts: "In the era of Emperor Wu,
Governance, in the end..."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the north and west, and his military achievements were great, but his reputation after his death was not very good. Many people thought that he was militaristic and squandered all his family wealth in the Wenjing era, laying the foundation for Huo Guang's monopoly and Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne in the future.
It is normal for Wang Yu to imitate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in conquering the south and the north, but if he copies the policies of the Han Dynasty, it will definitely not be a good thing for the declining Han Dynasty.
"Actually, most of the policies of Emperor Wu's era were good. The reason why they failed in the end was just because he ignored something, a very core thing. Without this, Emperor Wu's government would be militaristic. If this is added, Emperor Wu's government would be
The beginning of the Han Dynasty’s dominance in the world!”
In this regard, Wang Yu's answer was completely in line with his usual style, simple and straight to the core.
"Pengju, what on earth are you talking about...?" The two elders looked at each other, only seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
What Wang Yu said was too unbelievable.
There were countless wise men in Emperor Wu's era, and none of them was a wise person who would leave his name to future generations. If there really was something like this panacea, how could they not see it?
What's more, as latecomers like myself, I have also studied history, and as a reference for current governance, I have also not found that such an opportunity exists.
However, Pengju was full of confidence, and his words did not sound like he was talking big words. Accustomed to the miracles he created one after another, in Wang Kuang's heart, his son's previous appearance had become blurred to the point of being unmemorable. Cai Yong was right about him.
This good son-in-law is even more confident. He believes that since Wang Yu said this, there must be a reason.
"The expansion of territory is a meritorious service for all generations, how could it be wrong? The reason why it is considered a militaristic and chaotic government is just that these military operations consume too much and the revenue and expenditure are disproportionate. If you want to correct it, it is very simple, as long as
In the spirit of fairness and impartiality, if we set up the rule of ‘participants benefit’, why worry about no one taking the initiative to repay the favor and expand the territory?”
"Tracing back, the road is long and difficult. In fact, the dynasty's hegemony is not on the water side, but only separated by a layer of paper." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
