Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 10 Literary business spirit
Shen Sanwen's experience is very simple, but also very complicated.

A man whose work is play.

But it is a little different from the dandies in the capital.

One is that he hopes to travel everywhere, not just stay in the capital, but travel all over the country.

Such a person obviously has no talent.

I have traveled all over the country without a name.

The second is his family, his status in the family.

Even more hopeless.

So Di Renjie felt that this person was not a big deal.

After all, what I just said was too succinct.

In order not to miss the talent, Di Renjie decided to ask this person for a question.

That's right, the other person who came to the Prince's Mansion was Di Renjie, Empress Wu's confidant, who just held the signboard of the Prince's Mansion, so he couldn't compete with the Prince.

Empress Wu's love for Princess Taiping was really unfounded, and the son-in-law also specially called the person he trusted the most to come and take a look.

Xiao Er asked Shen San to go upstairs.

Shen Sanwen was very surprised, luck was very good, a person who was interested in him came, maybe he could get out of the current predicament.

"Old man, Di Renjie, Chancellor of Dali Temple, I heard what Shen Xiaoyou said just now, but it's too concise, I don't know if I can talk about it in detail."

It seems that this Lingyun Pavilion is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and there is one here.

"I don't know what the adults want to ask?"

Ask what you say, know everything without saying nothing, don't ask, don't tell, talk more and make mistakes.

"How does corruption end up in power? The local government is controlled by aristocratic families. Although the legislation is heavy and punishes, there are still things to be done. Local officials mostly put their own interests first, relying on the family tree, and what is the explanation?"

This is a big problem.

Supervision can indeed fight corruption, but without sufficient interest support and dedicated personnel to supervise, it is easy to be corrupted.Ordinary people don't know all kinds of inside information and are easy to be fooled. They can't even supervise the benefits promised in the notice.

Moreover, this is an official-based world. If you want to supervise the official, I am afraid that someone will hate you before you take action.

Legislation, enforcement, justice, accountability.

Under the current environment of the Tang Dynasty, the legislation has been completed, and the Tang Law Shuyi has already settled the conviction and sentencing.

But those who enforce the law are unwilling to implement it, the judiciary is useless, and the accountability under the auspices of the emperor can directly punish it, which is incompatible with my own ideas.

The power was in the hands of the aristocratic family, and the descendants of the aristocratic family accounted for 80% of all officials, and the remaining 20% ​​played a limited role.

In this context, anti-corruption is more like a slogan.

What can I do, I'm desperate too.

"The kid has no talent or virtue, I don't know how to explain it." Shen San asked cautiously.

This is an unsolvable proposition.The emperor needs a family to govern the world, and the family needs a stable imperial power to better safeguard its own interests.

If anyone wants to fight corruption at this time, he has to go against all the aristocratic families to a certain extent. If he is really recommended by Di Renjie as the pioneer of anti-corruption, he will become the pioneer of the revolution that shed blood and tears.

So it's better to be a little cowardly, to cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world, one must first solve one's own problems before one can talk about one's family, country and world.

Little life matters.

"Could it be that Mr. Shen thinks there is no cure for corruption?" Di Renjie was very unhappy. He looked at Shen San asked and thought for a long time, but he didn't give an answer.What I said below is good, to use power to end power, once you come up, you don't know anything.

It's not called Shen Xiaoyou anymore.

"Since it is a disease, there is naturally a cure. Although there is a cure, the medicine is not in my hands. I am not a good doctor, and I cannot cure the serious problems of my family and the country." Let's show the cards.Otherwise, he really thinks that I don't understand anything, and that I'm not very good, so all the saliva will be wasted.

Di Renjie finally understood.This is a mess, Shen Sanwen doesn't want to worry about it.

"A man should serve the country and the people. Mr. Shen reads the books of sages, but he doesn't want to apply what he has learned? Has Mr. Shen never thought of making a career, so what's the use of reading like this?"

Di Renjie was angry.

Originally, Di Renjie was very relieved to hear Shen Sanwen's narration, and he recognized his knowledge to a certain extent, but when he heard that he was determined to escape and read sage books, he was determined to be an idler, unwilling to serve the country and the people. Make a contribution, but still hide your clumsiness.It's just to show off your knowledge, and you're really angry.

Shen Sanwen thought about it.

This is an upright official who is not afraid of the powerful, does not bend the law for personal gain, speaks up and advises many times, and seeks benefits for the people.

In his view, reading is to serve the country, and being an official is to seek the well-being of the people and assist the wise emperor.

But I don't think so.

And don't have that ability.

Let the others retreat first, Shen Sanwen still spoke.

"My lord, there are six types of corruption crimes in the "Tang Law Shuyi", namely the on-the-job system law, the thief law, and the miscellaneous law. Although severe penalties are stipulated, the law does not attach importance to this. Military service and fighting can all be included in separate chapters, but corruption is mixed in three chapters, and it is mentioned in one stroke. Legislation is flawed.

Aristocratic families control the local government, and for the benefit of the family, it is inevitable that everything cannot be done fairly, and the interests of various ethnic groups are intertwined, so it is inevitable for officials to protect each other.It has become a rule that positions are regardless of size, whether they are fat or thin. When they take office, they need to manage the Quartet and the officers. Without money, it is difficult to move forward.The benefits of the vacancy must be taken, otherwise the account books of the former officials will be difficult to liquidate; there are many arrogant and indulgent people in the aristocratic family, and gifts must be accepted for crimes, otherwise the friendship between the various ethnic groups will be destroyed.There are those who fill their pockets, those who open the door for family business, and those who receive money because of things.This law enforcement is difficult, even if you want to make profits for the people, you must still secure your position, accepting bribes is inevitable.

The Dian Yuan, the Procuratorate, and the Taiwan Yuan supervise the Quartet. In fact, there are insufficient manpower to penetrate into the interior of the state government, and the authority is insufficient to monitor the implementation of various fiscal and taxation. You don't need to do it yourself, you can get your own filial piety.There is no local judiciary.

Nowadays, the government and the public sing praises, and they all think that the politics is clear and clear, and you know it in your heart.Legislation, law enforcement, and judiciary are all faults in the Tang Dynasty. How can I turn things around by myself.

To break the situation, we can only eliminate the ruling power of the aristocratic family, broaden the wisdom of the people, educate the people, use the imperial examination to get officials, and replace them with students from poor families.And use torture to dig out the intricate relationship of the family and create job vacancies.How can this be the work of a generation.Even if one state and one county can be governed, how can one not be hated by the aristocratic family and stand in peace, and how can one ensure the long-term peace of the prefect and county chief.

Times don't change with one person.Your Excellency wants to carry out reforms and understands the current situation. You should choose a wise king and take power.Ask a scholar three times, if he is not safe, how can he take on a big responsibility?If you want to kill a thief, you will be unable to return to heaven, and you will only be a laughingstock.If one day the adults will have the help of a wise king, and the original intention will not change, the three questions will only be followed by the adults, and I would like to help the adults create a prosperous Tang Dynasty. "

It is also clear enough that Gaozong was not tough on the aristocratic family, and he was not a wise king in the way of anti-corruption. I am afraid that he thought too much about reform.Di Renjie will definitely succeed in assisting Wu Zetian in the future, but this is definitely not the present, sow a seed here first, maybe you will be able to reap it later.

Di Renjie thought for a while, this is still a smart person, although he is not a person who sacrifices himself for the country and only wants to be wise and protect himself, but he is still a bit talented, at least he can see things clearly.If there really is a wise king and he is in power, then you won’t be able to ask for it, so you can find yourself a good leg and the road ahead will be paved.

What a slick.

"The Son of Heaven has three sons. I don't know who Master Shen thinks is the Mingjun." Killing people, you said that the Son of Heaven is not a Mingjun and cannot fight against corruption. Then who is the Mingjun and who can lead this matter, you say.

Who is Mingjun, don't you know in your own mind?
"My lord comes from a famous family. He comes from a Jinshi background. He has extraordinary knowledge and serves the country and the people. The person who lord is devoted to you is the Mingjun."

"Mr. Shen, do you mean the prince?" After all, Di Renjie entered the door with the prince's card.

Shen Sanwen suppressed his eyes, fearing that he would accidentally look over with disdainful eyes.

"Lord Di is joking. The crown prince's benevolence is famous far and wide. He respects the virtuous and the corporal, but he is by no means a person who knows people well. He governs the country with the books of sages and sages. He doesn't know human feelings and is easy to be manipulated by others. It is a serious problem for the country and the people. Your lord has a unique vision. , I believe that adults can choose Ming Jun, and Ming Jun can also reuse adults, so I dare not say too much."

Shen Sanwen felt that he still had a bit of a scholarly spirit, although he didn't think about being rich or famous, but if possible, he still thought about what he could do for this lord.After all, in history, there were infinitely many corrupt officials and only a few honest ones, and most of them lived in poverty and were unhappy during their lifetime, so the role of leaving a name after death is not that great.It's better to use your own knowledge, your own insights, and your own foresight of the future to do something for these adults.

Thinking of these, Shen Sanwen almost forgot his own difficult situation.

After listening to this speech, Di Renjie gradually felt that Shen Sanwen was a talent. After all, people would have an inexplicable appreciation for their fans, and they had a good eye for people.

But after hearing this, Di Renjie became even more worried about the country and the people. Although not all officials in the Tang Dynasty were corrupt, after all, many yamen were Qingshui yamen.But the current situation will not change because of one person, unless that person is the emperor, top-down reform is the way Datang should go to fight corruption.

"Little friend Shen has great talent."
