Chapter 169: In the Tang Dynasty, the State and the People Are Not Connected

Chapter 1244 In the Tang Dynasty, the country and the people were not connected

Li Zhi is very familiar with the common people.

Almost all of his decrees were issued in the name of the people.

but. All government orders are issued after weighing many parties, among which issues concerning the people are actually the least considered.

As Wu Chengsi said, after satisfying the interests of the country, the overflow belongs to the people.

This issue is mainly about the right to speak. The royal family, nobles, officials, army, big landowners, and merchants all have spokespersons. Only the common people are not very talkative, so it is natural that they are divided less.

Almost all the output of Datang was created by the common people, but they had no say in distribution issues.

The distribution principle in this world has never been that the more you work, the more you get, and the more you work, the more you get.

"When I built a house in Chang'an, I didn't have a penny in my hand. I just used half of the people's land deeds to renovate a lot of Chang'an City. Logically speaking, after getting the money, I should give the largest part to the people. As a result, the largest share became the country’s private property, such as built streets, planned shops, and garden-like resting places.

The country took away most of the benefits, the instigator, Chen, took away part of the benefits, and the businessmen involved in building the houses took away part of the benefits. All the people got was a house with half the area.

At that time, everyone said that I had the same ability as Tao Zhu and Fan Li to generate gold from the ground. In fact, I was very frightened. In this process where everyone seemed to be gaining, was there really no loser?

We use wisdom that surpasses the vision and knowledge of the people to create a beautiful dream for the people, where everyone seems to benefit. If God has eyes, I will not escape the punishment of God.

The one who wins the battle of wits with the common people must be a high-ranking official.

The victor in the battle with the common people gets to ride a steed.

So, I would like to ask Your Majesty today: Are the common people the most terrifying enemies of our Tang Dynasty? "

Yun Chu abandoned the comfortable chair and instead knelt down on the smooth floor, stepping in as a courtesy and formally facing off with the emperor.

Li Zhi saw that Yunchu was starting to become solemn, so he lifted his body from the giant bear, sat cross-legged on the futon and said seriously: "The people are not my enemies, they are one with me."

Yun Chu then said angrily: "Since they are one body, what difference does the head, torso, and limbs make to Your Majesty?"

Li Zhi said: "There is a difference. If the brain is injured, life is in danger. If the trunk is injured, life is in danger. If the limbs are injured, you can give up under the dilemma. Yunchu, the people are indeed very important. Overemphasis on the importance of the people will damage the court." authority.

Emperor Taizong once said that the king is the boat and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat and capsize it. It can be seen that Emperor Taizong's positioning of the people is still very accurate. The court and the people are one boat and the other water. They are two kinds of things. Something completely different.

If a boat wants to sail on the vast water, it must conquer and control the water. Therefore, there is no difference in the national policy of the imperial court. It was like this before, like it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. "

Li Zhi's answer did not exceed Yunchu's expectations. He glanced at Yun Jin, the emperor's temporary secretary who was busy writing, and sighed: "Your Majesty, please at least give me a chance to accept the blessings of rain and dew."

Li Zhi snorted angrily: "First bring up a huge truth, and then bring up a small question that is not very in line with the rules. Yun Chu, you ask for a high price, and your ability to pay back the money on the spot has improved.

I will let you succeed today, allowing you to break etiquette taboos in Chang'an, giving you the greatest economic freedom in Chang'an, allowing Chang'an to sell any goods except ordnance, and you can also break the court's taboo on ingenious and obscene skills.

Yunchu, isn't this what you want today?

It's easy to say, I'll give it to you, and let me take a good look at your ability. "

Yun Chu was overjoyed when he heard this, and then turned around and shouted at Yun Jin: "Didn't you hear your Majesty's order? Why don't you hurry up and draw up the order?"

However, Yun Jin still sat in the corner unmoving, looking at the emperor with his eyes, turning a deaf ear to the scolding from his father.

Li Zhi was very satisfied with Yun Jin's behavior. He waved his hand to Yun Jin and said: "Discuss with the Secretary Supervisor and don't issue the decree so straightforwardly. The decree will be written in the Zhongzhong, and after the two provinces of the sect have discussed it, it will be revealed to the world."

After Yunjin saluted, she walked backwards and left the greenhouse.

After the emperor, Ruichun and Yunchu were left in the room, Yunchu looked at the sunny sky outside and said with a smile: "Don't you, Your Majesty, want to go to your Chang'an City to see how your people are doing now?" What's your life like?"

Ruichun was shocked when he heard this. First he glared at Yun Chu angrily, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is very inappropriate for you to wear a white dragon fish suit and wander around the market. Please think again."

After hearing Yun Chu's words, Li Zhi suddenly had a smile on his face. He lost all the seriousness he had when he was confronting Yun Chu. He stroked the giant bear behind him and said, "Can I take it with me?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Why not? Nowadays, many people keep giant bears as pets in Chang'an City. Speaking of which, not only is your majesty's giant bear old, but its fur is not too bright. The pet giant in Chang'an City Not a good one among bears.”

The giant bear seemed to understand Yun Chu's words. It raised its head nervously, its two small eyes full of fear, and then hid its huge head behind Li Zhi, as if it was afraid of being abandoned by Li Zhi.

Li Zhi stroked the giant bear's head and complained to Yun Chu: "Okay, why are you trying to scare it?"

Seeing that there was no way to stop Emperor Bailongyu from going shopping in the market, Ruichun lamented and went to do security work.

Yun Chu said from behind: "Call Xue Rengui, he is tough and can be used to protect your majesty when necessary."

Li Zhi laughed: "You have to be careful, Xue Rengui is not a broad-minded person."

Yun Chu laughed: "What can he do to me? He could fight with me before, but now, with his old and weak appearance, he doesn't dare to fight me again."

Li Zhi said with some sadness: "During the Yonghui period, the three of you could still fight hard in Chang'an City. Now, Pei Qing's body is bloated and can hardly get on a war horse. Xue Qing has been in Liaodong for five years and has also been injured. You are the only one left among the former Yonghui generals who can put on armor and go into battle."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Xue Rengui's voice came from outside the greenhouse.

"Your Majesty, I can still shoot a hard bow, ride a fierce horse, kill strong enemies, and eat ten pounds of meat and a bucket of rice for a meal..."

"But in a moment, I shit three times..."

"Yun Chu, you are the despicable villain Guo Kai in the history books."

"Okay, okay, today we will accompany your Majesty to the market, and I will not slander your Majesty. How about you eat ten pounds of meat and a bucket of rice in front of your Majesty, and I will apologize to you?"

"You are powerful in Chang'an, how do you know if you will harm me."

"Time, place, you choose."

Although Xue Rengui was a little angry because of Yun Chu, he still did not lose his reason. He saluted the emperor and said, "Of course, your Majesty chooses."

Li Zhi smiled and looked at Yun Chu and said, "I will not go to Jinchangfang."

Yun Chu said, "Master Xuan Zang is still preparing a bed for Your Majesty in Da Ci'en Temple. I heard that Master Kui Ji has prepared tea."

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Oh, I haven't seen Master Xuan Zang for a long time. It's time to visit him."

Xue Rengui said, "I'm not eating in Jinchangfang."

Yun Chu said to the emperor, "Master Sun has prepared meals for Your Majesty in the cafeteria of the Imperial Hospital."

After that, he looked at Xue Rengui and said, "Do you dare to eat the meals prepared by Master Sun?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "That's good. Wait for me to undress..."

When Li Zhi left, the giant bear immediately followed him. When he walked to the door, he turned back and looked at Yun Chu deeply, as if he wanted to remember this face that made her feel disgusted. It seemed that he had the intention of revenge.

After Li Zhi left, Yun Chu and Xue Rengui really hated each other. They turned their heads away at the same time and didn't want to look at each other.

Xue Rengui looked at the sea of ​​flowers outside and said, "How is my son?"

Yun Chu said, "He is in the countryside, training the soldiers of Chang'an Prefecture under the name of Guoyi Xiaowei."

Xue Rengui frowned and said, "Training the soldiers? I hope he can be transferred to a civil servant."

Yun Chu said, "Impossible."

Xue Rengui looked at Yun Chu angrily and said, "Why? Is my son stupid and unusable?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Because he doesn't like it, he really doesn't like it. I originally wanted him to work in the most powerful official office in Chang'an, but it turned out not to be good. He couldn't survive in the paperwork like a mountain and sea, but he was quite interested in the affairs of the Zaolifang. How can I make him a yamen runner? I sent him to teach Chang'an soldiers how to use firearms correctly.

He is very happy with his job now. When he returned to the yamen five days ago, he told me that he likes to develop in the army. "

Xue Rengui sighed and said, "I naturally know that he likes military affairs. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to get promoted in the Tang army now. It is almost impossible for soldiers to be promoted immediately without external enemies."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "Is the purpose of being a soldier to be promoted immediately and bring honor to the family?

Do we still need soldiers to guard the borders? Do we need soldiers to go to sporadic external enemies? Do we need soldiers to suppress the disobedient tribes? Do we need soldiers to suppress the domestic chaos? Do we need soldiers to rescue the major natural disasters?

Old Xue, you really only care about yourself and don't care about the Tang Dynasty at all. "

Xue Rengui snorted coldly and said, "I just saw your eldest son arguing with a group of civil officials in the Secretary's Office. He looked like he was in power."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I really want Yun Jin to become a soldier, but unfortunately, this child has committed too many murders in the southwest, so few civil and military officials in the court agreed to let him go to the army.

Go to the Secretary's Office He did not volunteer to go to such a central place as the Imperial Household Department, but the group of people in the Secretary General's Office begged him to go. When His Majesty left Chang'an, he, an official below the fifth rank, would have no job and would continue to stay at home doing nothing. "

Xue Rengui sighed and said, "I have protected my son too well. He should have been allowed to go to the battlefield as soon as possible."

While the two were chatting, Li Zhi changed into a purple robe and wore a pair of crystal glasses on his nose. They were said to be colorless eyes, but others could only see light blue and could not see Li Zhi's eyes. This thing was very noble at first glance.

Yun Chu saw this and took out a pair of black glasses from his sleeve and put them on. As for Ruichun, who came out with the emperor, she wore a pair of brown glasses. Xue Rengui immediately felt that he was excluded.

Li Zhi could not bear to see Xue Rengui's embarrassment, so he gave an order and an eunuch brought a pair of black glasses to Xue Rengui.

This thing is only popular in a very small circle nowadays. Although Xue Rengui is high-ranking and powerful, he has nothing to do with this circle. Naturally, he doesn't know that this thing exists in the world. After putting it on, the originally dazzling sunlight suddenly became dim, making him feel a lot more comfortable.

Li Zhi walked into the plum blossom field anyway. His hands passed over those plum blossoms that could be mistaken for real ones. He felt the soft feeling of silk passing through his palms. He stood deep in the plum blossoms and said to Yun Chu: "Fake ones will always be fake. fragrant."

When Yun Chu heard the words, he said to Yun Jin who was following him: "Spray the condensed fragrance of plum blossoms on the plum blossoms."

Yun Jin whispered: "It costs too much, why not spray it on His Majesty's clothes?"

Li Zhi glanced at Yun Chu, waved his sleeves and left Xingqing Palace first.

Li Zhi thought that the appearance of his group would be very conspicuous in Chang'an City. After leaving Xingqingfang, he discovered that there were many people in Chang'an City wearing glasses and walking around on the streets with big and small bears.

The group of them walked onto Zhuque Street and quickly blended into the crowd without being conspicuous at all.

"Why?"

Li Zhi pointed to a few scholar-looking people walking in front holding flower bears and asked Yun Chu.

Yun Chu said: "There were not many people like this before. Since Your Majesty came to Chang'an, there have been more people like this. This is called doing good things from above, and the people below will follow suit."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "It sounds like it's my fault."

Yun Chu said: "You are the master of Chang'an, so every move you make has a great impact on Chang'an."

Li Zhi hummed and walked towards Jinchangfang with ease. Today he really wanted to see Xuanzang, who was getting younger and younger...

A few days ago, the cold wind was howling in Chang'an. Under the warm sunshine, the temperature rose sharply. People in Chang'an went out to enjoy the sunshine. Li Zhi wanted to stand at a crossroads, but he was stopped by a man blowing a whistle. The bad guys were driven away with whistles.

Unable to stand at a busy intersection, Li Zhi said very dissatisfied: "How do you usually deal with such unsightly things?"

Yun Chu took a look at the bad guy who disliked their slow pace and uttered dirty words, and said to the emperor: "Normally, he would reward you, but he offended your majesty today, so Wei Chen is going to let him dig for a year." Mao pit."

Li Zhi said dissatisfied: "Aren't you going to behead?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Pedestrians are not allowed to stop at the crossroads. This is Chang'an's rule. It is us who are in the wrong. There is no way to behead them."

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Then punish his whole family to dig pits, no one should be missing."

Yun Chu took a look at the delinquent who was no more than twenty years old. When he thought that this guy was going to dig a latrine with his confinement baby, he felt that the emperor was really ruthless.

Now, all Yun Chu can do is ask Zhang Jia to find a cleaner toilet for this delinquent family. As for disobeying the emperor, it is really not worth it.

The emperor returned to Chang'an, and Chang'an once again became the most beautiful city under the emperor's feet. Even the clothes of pedestrians on the streets were two points better than before.

Seeing that every time the emperor passed by a copper bull, he would hit it with a picked bamboo pole several times to test whether it was solid. Yunchu secretly summoned Zhang Jia and asked him to pass on the order. There would be no penalty for knocking the bull today. .

Otherwise, the emperor's method of inspecting places was very simple and crude. He preferred doing things instead of watching.

If such inappropriate behavior is seen by bad people again, Yunchu feels that bad people in Chang'an will dig holes.

This is the emperor's city, and he can really do whatever he wants in the city...
