Chapter 47
Bao Zheng left, and Zhang Dexiang said to Xu Ping: "Shazhou is remote in the Western Regions, with no people and no places, and the Duke Zhaowen repeatedly reminded him to worry too much. Like this place, even if it is truly named King Xiping and let him break the land and ban the territory, it will be fine."
Xu Ping said seriously: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Since the rise of Zhang's discussion, local people responded and drove away Tubo, and had been operating bleak for one or two hundred years. Why? I am looking to the Central Plains and never forget its roots. Establishing the King of Xiping to meet the hearts of the people, the court will show his official position, and establishing officials to govern the local area. Then the court will have great justice in the world. Get the land of the two states, then breaking the land and banning the territory, and squandering money and food. Where is the justice?"
Zhang Dexiang respectfully thanked Mr. Zhaowen for advice and turned around and went to work on other things.
Xu Ping could see that Zhang Dexiang was just polite to say thanks. He actually didn't take it seriously. He felt that he was making a big deal. Originally, he just found someone to be the King of Xiping and said how important it was. Many people found it ridiculous.
This is not ridiculous. The candidates for King Xiping were indeed a bit casual, but the system later was not casual. If you look at the so-called uprising of the White Snake in Han Dynasty, how sacred could it be when the initial uprising was founded? But he persisted and eventually formed a 400-year-old destiny for the Han Dynasty. The foundation for the start was poor, but the beginning was difficult, and perseverance could always achieve the goal.
When establishing King Xiping, the actual governance power is firmly controlled by the court, and both are indispensable. If the King Xiping is not established, the court system will not adapt to the local government and there is no buffer between the people, and it is easy to conflict. If the local government is not calm, it will not develop, and the people will become more dissatisfied. The vicious cycle will be unpredictable. After establishing King Xiping, the power of governance will be granted to form a real crack and finite, and it will inevitably become bigger. Don’t talk about education, but I’m afraid that the place will be divided sooner or later.
This is what politics is. After all, it is about people. It may be very simple to pursue the most fundamental problem. Whether people are social or independent, they are gathered together to seek benefits and avoid harm, forming the most fundamental theoretical foundation of socialism and capitalism. If you really ask, who would think that this question is so profound? In the eyes of many people, they might really think that if you eat too much, you are better than anyone else.
When it comes to history and politics, some people will say aloud: People are selfish by nature, and they can't even see this clearly. They are brainwashed and have not been baptized by society. In fact, people who say this may still seriously agree with the socialist system. As for what the socialist society means, is it necessary to know?
If you are not in this position, there is no need to know. When Xu Ping becomes the prime minister, his mind must be clear and must be known. Otherwise, there will be system chaos, conflicts between each other and lack of enforceability.
If officials are not required to act according to the system, the political system of the regime will lose its seriousness and cannot win the trust of the people. If you act according to the system, you will violate that one, and follow that one, and follow that one, you will violate this one. What should you do? If you think you are smart, you can delete some and leave some? If you delete one, you will cause greater trouble.
From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, why have people been entangled with their temperaments? It is true that scholars do not want to do things that are beneficial to the people after eating too much, and they are exhausting their energy on such boring things? Because the understanding of human nature is the foundation of the political system.
Communism is a monoevolution theory based on the negation of historical processes and the negation of knowledge. The next dynasty must be advanced than the previous dynasty. This is the foundation of theory. Facts and theory are different, and they must be forced into this theoretical framework. Socialism believes that people have a monoeth sociality, so they can run into a communist society without going through the full development of the capitalist stage. Capitalist theorists also have a large number of communist believers, but they believe that human nature is selfish and must be fully developed by the capitalist society before they can enter a communist society.
The result of the Cold War has given the answer to the debate on human nature. It recognizes that human nature is not a one-centric social nature, but a socialist country with two individuals and two genders, and a capitalist country with social nature, and finally ends up laughing. Whether this understanding is proactive or blind, and in line with this direction, the system shows vitality.
Not being in his position and not doing his own politics, Xu Ping was as blind as many people in his previous life. When it comes to unreasonable systems and when it is difficult to implement them below, he often complains with people around him, that people will not be like this in the foreign country. He hopes that one day, he will eventually be like the foreign country he imagines, and will not be like this again.
Now I understand that where is the perfect foreign country in my imagination? It is just an unrealistic fantasy of the young literati, in order to express his clever excuses. If you really follow that direction, you will eventually be a mess. The dual nature of human nature will inevitably lead to the instability of the system that needs to be constantly changed, and the arduous task of consistently following the principles.
Human nature is reflected in the political system. In the agricultural society, it is a discussion of the good and evil of human nature. In the industrial society, it will inevitably develop into a discussion of sociality and individual independence. This issue is unclear, and the system is a mess.
Xu Ping used his previous life's knowledge to suppress the debate on the good and evil of human nature in this era. He began to guide social resources to urban industry and commerce, industrialization would develop quickly, and debates about human nature would arise again.
Is it reasonable to use sweatshops that suck bones and marrows for workers? Do external plunder or reciprocal trade? Should the social management costs be borne by workers or by capital and asset owners? Policy orientation will be based on this.
If you get the benefits of imperialism, you have to bear all the evils of imperialism. All the inevitable evils are all preaching. The principles of the world are in the hearts of people, and you can grasp them, and there is no such mess.
The height is so cold that Xu Ping sat in the prime minister's seat. Many of his actions and decisions were actually not understood by his colleagues. Many people, including the prime minister and participating in politics, shook their heads secretly at Xu Ping's seriousness in some matters, and did not know what he was thinking. It's just that in the general direction, Xu Ping did guide the country forward and didn't care about these things.
Before the palace examination, Fu Bi suddenly submitted a memorial requesting the abolition of the palace examination and directly released the rankings in the provincial examination. This statement was not Fu Bi's whim. Before him, including Li Shu, he had proposed it. This suggestion has its origin. In fact, there was no palace examination system in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty. When Wu Zetian was in power, the palace examination was irregular and the system was not formed, which was a coincidence. Following the Tang Dynasty system was a trend, not just the imperial examination, but also the official system, there was always such a voice. Wu Zetian was in power, which was not a good thing in the eyes of scholars in this era. She had performed the palace examination, which became a reason to oppose the palace examination system.
Fu Bi's suggestion was adopted in history, and an edict was issued, but it was taken back only three days later. This time, Xu Ping directly suppressed this suggestion. Retro can sort out ideas, not a disaster, but a muddy ancients are not allowed. The historical process must look forward, and to this era, the system of the Tang Dynasty, including the laws of the Tang Dynasty, was no longer in line with the real society. Including the official system, the Tang system was all about cutting feet and fitting shoes, and there was no feasibility.
The deposed imperial examination will hurt the grace of the holy people, and the over-take will lead to the political situation. Xu Ping has made a decision, so that the Jinshi who failed the imperial examination can choose to join the generals and camps of Zhongzuoshi, the imperial examination, and left a way, which is enough. In history, Fu Bi was the prime minister, but in the end he used Ouyang Xiu to suppress the quota of the provincial examination, forming a system where the palace examination will no longer be dismissed, and in fact abolished the palace examination. This is the manifestation of these people's ancient revival of the Tang system, including the reform of the official system and the restoration of the three provinces. This is a limitation of the ideological situation, and there is no need to guess whether they have selfish thoughts.
In history, Yuanfeng was reorganized and the official system was changed back to the Tang Dynasty system. After the change, Emperor Shenzong of Song regretted it. The system seemed to be neat and neat, but in fact it was not suitable for political reality. It was awkward everywhere, and in the end it just changed its name.
Political reality requires the flexibility of the system. It is believed that frequent changes are incomplete systems, and it is necessary to form a system and bureaucratic system that remains unchanged forever. It is a manifestation of studying hard and ignoring the needs of reality.
March 22nd, on the day of Yichou, the palace examination results were released.
The imperial examiner ranked first in the imperial examination, and Wang Anshi was originally the first, because Zhao Zhen did not like the sentence "The son is a friend" in his article, so he decided to change it to the second. The result was Wang Gui and Han Jiang, both of whom had an official position because of his kindness. The system did not allow officials to be the top scholar, so he had to change Wang Anshi to the fourth, and Yang Qian, the former fourth person, was the top scholar.
After Wang Zeng, Yang Qian won the three-yuan title again, and there was nothing to say. The priest and scholars all thanked him. Xu Ping, who was standing in front, could only smile bitterly, and looked at Wang Anshi, who was a little disappointed.
Perhaps Wang Anshi needed such setbacks, so Xu Ping finally chose to remain silent and watched Wang Anshi's top scorer fly away.
As usual, from the second minister to Qionglinyuan to attend a banquet.
Back at the Political Affairs Hall, Yan Shu said to Xu Ping: "My husband, Yang Cha is my son-in-law, and the top scholar of this year is his brother. It is very inconvenient for me to go to Qionglin Garden. Why not change Mr. Zhang?"
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Where is there any reason to avoid it when you go up to the banquet? My husband can go there."
Yang Cha was the second place in the first year of Jingyou. The elder brother of this year's top scholar Yang Feng and Yan Shu's son-in-law. Yan Shu and Yang Feng were in-laws, but there was no reason to avoid such things as a banquet. Xu Ping's son-in-law Su Song is also a Jinshi of this year. If you want to avoid it, only Zhang Dexiang will make the third person look unsanct.
Because Su Song's father Su Shen was among the examiners, he participated in the first exam. In the end, Xu Ping didn't care. As long as he passed the Jinshi, his future prospects would be bright. Not to mention his father-in-law, he could remember this foreign name in his previous life, which means that Su Song would have achieved something in the future. Moreover, his talent and knowledge are indeed outstanding.
Zhang Zai and Liu Chang, because they had followed Xu Ping and participated in the Jinshi exam conducted according to Xu Ping's thoughts, all of them were in high school. Liu Chang's first class and Zhang Zai's first class.
Seeing Yan Shu leaving, Zhang Dexiang said to Xu Ping: "Yang Zhi is a high-level literary selection and is very filial to his parents. This time he is very popular!"
Xu Ping casually said: "In the first year of Jingyou, Zhang Tangqing, many people liked each other, and they were also very filial to their parents. However, the heavens did not obey others. His father passed away, and Tang Qing's ailed too much and vomited blood and died. Alas, the word "filial piety" said "Ai but not hurt, which is very difficult."
Zhang Tangqing was the top scholar and was ruling Shanzhou. There was a man named Wu Zhong under his rule. His father died and his mother remarried, and he also died the following year. Wu Zhong stole his mother's body and buried it with his father. He was arrested when the incident happened. Although Zhang Tangqing was punished for his crimes, he ordered him to apologize for the family where his mother remarried, and concluded the case. Not long after, Zhang Tangqing's father died. He was too sad and eventually vomited blood and died young at the age of 28.
Xu Ping was inspired, but unexpectedly his words came true. A few months later, Yang Ji failed to take office and his mother died. He eventually became overly sad and passed away at the age of 30.
In a few years, the two top scholars passed away too early because of the word "filial piety". Everything has a degree. Once it is too much, no matter how good things are, it will be regrettable.
