The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 241 Li Shimin: Two systems, let future generations remember me forever!

On the canopy.

Xiande Hall.

Li Shimin, who was dressed in the uniform of the Sun and Moon Emperor, said to His Highness and his ministers:
"The state sets up the Central Secretary and the subordinates to check and inspect each other. If there are any errors in the edicts of the Central Secretary, the subordinates should refute and correct them."

His Highness and his ministers stood with their hands tied and listened attentively.

"People's opinions are different. When discussing difficult issues, we must seek to find the right one. What's the harm in abandoning our own opinions and adopting dissent!"

Li Shimin glanced at the ministers and said slowly:
"Recently, some people have been covering up my shortcomings and not refuting them even though they know they are wrong."

"Submitting obedience to one person's emotions and feelings brings great trouble to the people. This is the policy of Emperor Yang to subjugate his country."

"My lords, please don't be alike."

……

[The so-called "confession system" means that the emperor's instructions must be reviewed by the provincial "Gi Shizhong" under the imperial court. 】

[You can only issue it if you think there is no problem. 】

[If the emperor's idea is considered unreasonable, the signature will not be given. 】

[If there is a problem with the emperor's imperial edict, we can simply modify it directly and return it to the emperor for reconsideration. 】

[This is a great historical progress. In the past, the emperor's will had to be carried out regardless of whether his ministers understood it or not. 】

[But it was different in the Tang Dynasty. The emperor's ideas had to be reviewed by the ministers. 】

[This is a major revision of the "Qin System" and completely breaks through the political principles of Legalism. 】

……

Great Qin.

The king is the guide for his ministers.

Ying Zheng looked at the sky with a straight face.

A prince must rise above all criticism.

"Guanzi" says: "If monarchs and ministers share the same path, there will be chaos, but if they teach exclusively, they will lose."

There can only be one voice in the world!
If you meet a hero, wouldn't this mean that you are tying your own hands and feet?
but……

Ying Zheng covered his chest and thought of Hu Hai again.

This is a good system for some emperors who are confused.

At least it guarantees the lower limit...

……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian's face was expressionless.

This is based on the further improvement of the three provinces and six departments.

But it can also be said to further restrict the imperial power!
What is this kid thinking?
I did not establish three provinces and six ministries to restrict the emperor...

Fiercely, Yang Jian recalled Yang Guang's face.

……All right……

I understand.

……

[Because compared to the legalist monarchy, the theory of the feudal system is the co-governance of the monarch and his ministers. 】

[Everyone makes mistakes, and only brainstorming policies can make sense. 】

[Ministers cannot obey the emperor in everything, but must dare to raise objections when necessary. 】

[Li Shimin encouraged ministers to oppose him. He said, "People's opinions may be different, so they should not be the same up and down." 】

[Therefore, he asked the officials to fulfill their duties and help the emperor to check the major policies of the country. If the emperor's words are inappropriate, they must be rejected. 】

[This system was seriously implemented in the Tang Dynasty. 】

……

Ji Han.

Everyone in the hall thought of Emperor Huan Ling.

Liu Bei was even more touched.

Everyone has selfish desires, and the monarch is no exception, and his desires are even greater.

The monarch only acts according to his own selfish desires and abuses his power for his own benefit.

And if no one or system can restrain the monarch who practices favoritism and bends the law, then the world will be in chaos.

There is no such thing as refutation.

The censor was in charge of this matter, but there was no specific system to ensure its operation.

In order to prevent the monarch from abusing his private power, it is necessary to establish a guaranteed system.

……

On the canopy.

Li Shimin, who was wearing a red round-collar robe, leaned on the brocade couch, looked at the ministers in front of him and said:
"People say that the emperor is the most noble and is not afraid of anything."

"I don't think so. On the one hand, the emperor is afraid of the emperor's coming and monitoring, and on the other hand, he is afraid of the ministers and people looking up to him."

"Be careful, I'm afraid it won't be in line with God's will or people's hopes."

Wei Zheng, who was wearing a purple round-neck robe, bowed his head and said:
"This is the key to achieving peace. I hope your Majesty will be cautious and consistent. That would be great."

Li Shimin nodded and then said:
"If a person wants to see his own shape and appearance clearly, he must borrow a bright mirror."

“If a king wants to know his faults, he must have loyal ministers.”

"If the king is willful and does not listen to advice and is self-righteous, his subordinates will flatter him and obey the decree."

"The result is that the king loses his country, and his subjects cannot save their lives alone."

"Just as Yu Shiji and others kept their wealth and honor by flattering and serving Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, but Emperor Yang was killed, Shiji and others were also killed."

"You should take this as a warning. There are gains and losses in things, so don't be stingy and be able to speak freely!"

……

[Another progress made by Li Shimin was to improve the remonstrance system and cultivate the spirit of remonstrance. 】

[Admonishment officers have been around since ancient times, but before the Tang Dynasty, not only were their positions uncertain, but their establishment was also not fixed. 】

[The system of admonishing officials in the Tang Dynasty was perfect and there were a large number of admonishing officials. 】

[For example, if you give four people in the matter, they are on the fifth rank, and if you give advice to four officials, they are on the fifth rank. 】

[Also, Li Shimin will take the initiative to cultivate the spirit of criticism and remonstrance. 】

[The most famous among them are Wei Zheng, Li Shimin and Bird. 】

……

The playback continued on the marquee.

He saw Li Shimin playing with the little falcon in his hand.

Suddenly Wei Zheng arrived.

Li Shimin quickly put the little falcon into his arms. When Wei Zheng saw the bulge under Li Shimin's clothes, he knew something was wrong, so he deliberately spoke longer.

When Wei Zheng finally finished speaking and left, Li Shimin untied his clothes and saw that the little Falcon had suffocated in his arms.

……

[Therefore, admonishers in the Tang Dynasty had great power and had no taboos in speaking. 】

……

Wu Zhou.

Wu Zetian had a dark face.

These admonishers really have no taboos!
"Lust, foolishness and wisdom are all the same. A sage can control it and not overdo it. This is the motto of the former sage."

She can think of Zhu Jingshang's advice every time.

It's not impossible to find one or two "male favorites", but too many are out of control!

There are only twenty-four people in Fengchen Mansion!

Compared with the emperors of the Three Palaces and Six Courts, I am already very restrained!

……

[Although there were cases of people refusing to remonstrate in the Tang Dynasty, deaths due to remonstrance were extremely rare. 】

[Take Wei Zheng in the Zhenguan Dynasty as an example. This person is the most capable of offending Yan Zhijian. 】

[No less than thirty-five officials including Wang Gui, Ma Zhou, Sun Fuga, Chu Suiliang, etc. came to remonstrate. Among them, one Wei Zheng gave remonstrances on more than 200 matters and hundreds of thousands of words. help. 】

[Li Shimin mostly restrains himself and accepts others, or chooses the good and follows them. 】

[The success rate of remonstrances in the Tang Dynasty was 68%, of which Zhenguan accounted for 40%. 】

[The refutation system and the remonstration system played a great restrictive role in preventing excessive concentration of power and the emperor's wrong decisions. This was an important reason for the emergence of the Zhenguan rule. 】

……

Big man.

Liu Bang touched his chin thoughtfully.

These two systems seem to suppress the power of the monarch and expand the power of the prime minister.

But if you add the system of three provinces and six ministries, it will disperse the power of the prime minister and strengthen the power of the monarch.

interesting.

The more Liu Bang tasted it, the more wonderful he felt.

The power of the prime minister and the power of the king have actually reached a wonderful balance!
He will not be like the emperor of the Qin Dynasty who suppressed the people and acted arbitrarily.

It will not become a decoration for ministers like the Southern Dynasties.

"Does this kid have such a vicious vision when he becomes an emperor?"

"No...should I say that this kid is so cruel to me?"

……

{Wei Zheng admonished Li Shimin. He likes to use Guangshen as a negative teaching material. Every advice is accurate! (Wonderful)｝
{It turns out that Yang Guang’s greatest historical contribution was to train Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (Dog Head)}
……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian took a deep breath.

Not angry, not angry...

It would be strange not to be angry!

I will establish the emperor's rule well!
He was set up by that traitor to be a model like Bao Qin!
……

{Also, I like to use Li Yuan as an example, and I always give the right advice (dog head)}

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
The four people had expressionless faces, and there was dead silence in the hall.

……

Datang.

The core of the remonstrance officer system still depends on the emperor's subjectivity and whether he has the humility to accept remonstrances.

Although the system is secondary, it can also play a great role in guiding and restricting.

Li Shimin stood proudly with his hands behind his back.

But how many enlightened monarchs are there like me?
There were too many powerful and willful emperors.

Fortunately, the descendants of the Tang Dynasty have learned something worthy of respect from me.

Yes, as expected of me!
Who else but me can tolerate that country bumpkin!

However, Wei Zheng was not just blunt, he really spoke concisely and to the point.

……

Tang Xuanzong period
This system can still be attributed to the enlightened spirit of the founding emperor.

Li Chen looked at Emperor Taizong in the sky with admiration.

What? Emperor Taizong was not the founding emperor?
you fart!
Who else can you know better than me who was the founding king of the Tang Dynasty? !

……

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin pointed to the sky and said to Zhao Dezhao:

"Sometimes the monarch not only requires that the admonishment person be loyal and dedicated, but also requires that the content of the admonishment of the ministers should conform to his own selfish desires."

"It is required to be able to observe the situation well, and not to criticize the unfaithful and directly poke at the monarch's ugliness and pain points. There are many examples in history of people who refused to give advice and were expelled and demoted or even killed."

"The monarch encourages his subjects to remonstrate and set up full-time remonstrance officers, but accepting remonstrance and giving remonstrance is only a moral contract between the monarch and his ministers."

"It itself does not have a set of related systems to constrain the monarch to obey."

"To listen or not to listen, to obey or not to obey, everything is decided by the monarch himself, thus making the system of remonstrance and remonstrance a mere document."

Zhao Kuangyin pointed at Li Shimin in the sky and said:
"Even during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, when the system of remonstrance and refutation was relatively complete, there was a phenomenon where "the emperor obeyed the edicts, but only managed to pass them by, and then did not say a word to remonstrate."

"It is enough to prove that there is no system to restrain the monarch from obeying the remonstrances, and there is no system to protect the safety of the remonstrance officials. The remonstrance system will often become a mere formality and become a decoration."

"This is also the reason why admonishment officials were abolished in the late Tang Dynasty."

Zhao Dezhao glanced at the sky and then said:

"So the reason why my father rules the world with the scholar-bureaucrats is to protect the admonishers?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and then sighed:

"The Tang Dynasty implemented a system of three provinces and six ministries. The provinces under the command were responsible for "refuting rectifications and violations" and had the right to "false the inconvenience of edicts" and also had the right to reject the emperor's edicts."

"Admonishers also have corresponding supervisory powers, but a system that does not kill scholar-officials is needed to ensure that the power is restricted."

“Only those who dare to speak out can be found without killing scholar-bureaucrats.”

"The integrity of a scholar-bureaucrat cannot rely on the courage to not be afraid of beheading, but must be protected by a system."
