Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 93
Shen Sanwen began his remonstrance, "For example, Taizong, in the early days, he was able to work hard, appoint talents, and judge affairs fairly, but in his later years, he handed over state affairs to powerful ministers like Changsun Wuji. Is it considered that he is close to a villain and delegated power too much? ?For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wenzhi and martial arts surpassed how many generations of emperors, but in the end he favored Jiang Chong differently and killed his own son unjustly. If the emperor can firmly control the power of the country in his own hands, instead of trusting and unworthy People, the world, the royal family, can avoid many disasters."

Wu Zetian: "Are you referring to the Wu brothers?"

Shen Sanwen really didn't mean that. He just said that Li Longji would be like this. Strictly speaking, the Wu brothers really couldn't cause too much trouble.

Shen San asked: "Wu Chengsi is greedy for wealth, but acts willfully and recklessly. No one will really support him. Who in Wu Sansi has the ability to overthrow clouds and rain, but is cautious and timid? He is not a person who acts willfully and recklessly. Their power comes from His Majesty , One thought arises and one thought dies, His Majesty naturally has a way to tame them."

Wu Zetian: "Not bad."

Shen San asked: "Throughout the ages, there has never been a lack of flatterers. No matter how wise a king is, seeing a stable society and successful achievements, he will relax his vigilance for a long time. Then he will be close to villains and far away from gentlemen, and will only listen to lies. , empty words, lies."

Wu Zetian nodded, "That's true. Shang Zhou expanded his territory, but appointed Fei Zhongyouhun's disciples. Qin Shihuang created an eternal monarchy, but was deceived by Li Si in his later years. People complained and suffered unspeakably. They still believed in peace. These are all He made great efforts in the early stage, but there is no example of a good start and a good end in his later years."

Shen San asked: "Human nature is only willing to see its own advantages and listen to what is pleasing to the ear. Ordinary people are like this, saints are like this, and kings are naturally not immune to the vulgar. Jun. Li Longji can also create a prosperous age, but he can't start well and end well. I hope that your majesty will not forget what you said today, and I believe that you can create a prosperous Wu Zhou."

Wu Zetian: "Of course I have this confidence. Otherwise, what difference would it make me to be a queen, empress dowager, or emperor? If there hadn't been years of war and recuperation, a prosperous age would be just around the corner. But I don't know if I can surpass Taizong."

Shen San asked: "Of course it is possible. Taizong just accepts advice and respects Confucianism, and is praised by literati. However, His Majesty's achievements may not be known to the world like the rule of Zhenguan in the annals of history."

Wu Zetian snorted coldly, "I created this opportunity for Confucian scholars all over the world to become officials, so that talented and learned people can participate in governing the world, but it is not worth the shame of literati, and the Confucian discrimination against men and women."

Shen Sanwen kowtowed to plead guilty, "I will die."

Wu Zetian: "Not guilty, I don't care what these literati say, justice is at ease."

Shen Sanwen secretly sighed that the female emperor really deserves to be an emperor through the ages, she is open-minded, not inferior to Taizong.

However, Wu Zetian continued, "If anyone dares to say such a thing, I will kill him. If all the scholars in the world say so, I will kill all the scholars in the world. To be able to do better than Taizong, I only need the surrender of the world in this life. No matter how future generations comment, as for the annals, what use is there after death?"

After I die, who cares about the flood?
Well, this female emperor is really domineering, quite determined to block and kill gods and Buddhas.

It's just that Emperor Wu's later years were somewhat similar to Li Longji.

Shen Sanwen thought for a while and said directly, "Your Majesty, although Master Di is a loyal person, he has no ability to know people."

Emperor Wu nodded and asked him to retreat directly.

Shen Sanwen felt that he didn't make it clear at all, but he had no chance to say it, the emperor didn't want to listen.

Emperor Wu had no intention of setting up a prince. This question was just to dispel his concerns about Di Renjie. Now it seems that Di Renjie is not able to make this aspect. After all, the prime minister is not an ordinary person. He has been in Xiazhou for a long time and needs to be observed.

The next day, Wu Zetian promoted Cui Shenji, the son of the former imperial envoy and doctor, and the Minister of Honglu Temple, to be his prime minister.

This move allowed Lai Junchen to fully understand Emperor Wu's intentions.The prime minister couldn't be himself, but he was very fortunate that Emperor Wu never gave up on him. Cui Shenji was the prime minister, but he just blocked everyone's mouth. How much energy can a person in charge of diplomacy with the barbarians have?As long as he has the real power and is willing to clear the obstacles for Emperor Wu, why should the prime minister pay attention to it.It's just a false name, and it is guarded against by the emperor, which is far less comfortable than the royal envoy doctor.

At this point, Lai Junchen started his real journey as a cruel official.Since the emperor wants to punish the crimes of treason and corruption, he must wipe out these villains for the emperor's sword.Lai Junchen trained many of his subordinates to teach them to check, and if they couldn't check, they would create evidence, and the suspected crime became guilty, and the guilty became capital crime.

After practicing and summarizing again and again, Lai Junchen determined his own way of doing things, how to distinguish people, how to behave as a ruler, how to treat subordinates, and how to control power. He sorted out these life experiences and handed them over to his most trusted adopted son.The only one who can gain Junchen's trust is this adopted son. How can he share the glory with him if he has never experienced hardships?
Through Kangshun's way, Shen Sanwen easily obtained the famous book of later generations, Luo Zhijing.

The princess was also very surprised when she saw Luo Zhijing. A gambler can have such a deep understanding of human nature, which is truly terrifying.

This scripture is Lai Junchen's handle.

"There are very few people who are subordinates voluntarily. If there is no strategy in the management of the subordinates by the superiors, either the subordinates will resist the superiors, or the subordinates will seize the power of the superiors."

It is indeed a philosophy of managing the world, but it has no loyalty and gratitude. Just relying on this sentence to seize power and the following "Do not disobey the monarch's order. This is the foundation of Xianda. A wise person would rather sacrifice himself to let Xianda continue. There is a difference between wise and stupid people, and when you appoint someone, don't ask them to be more talented than yourself." I believe that it will be difficult for Lai Junchen to pass the knife edge of Empress Wu.

I just hope that Lai Junchen can be smarter, and don't choose the wrong target to make this day come too soon.

The cruel official politics kicked off, and the curtain never came to an end for a long time.Lai Junchen is not a prime minister, but he is better than a prime minister. The cruel officials he supports are all headaches for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.So in Emperor Wu's imperial study, the memorials attacking Lai Junchen and the cruel officials piled up like snowflakes, but the Emperor Wu never dealt with Lai Junchen and his cruel officials.

Extraordinary means can often bring about the most effective results. Lai Junchen is an important step for Emperor Wu to control the world, and it is also an important step for Emperor Wu to rule the world.

If you don't break, you can't stand, if you break, you can stand.Without today's bloodbath to deter the lawless people in the world, how can we guarantee the effectiveness of our own orders in the future.

Could it be that, like Emperor Gaozong, the decree came from Chang'an and was placed on the bookshelf of the county government, and no one cared about it for a hundred years?
