Chapter 553: Breach of Faith and Prosperity

As time goes by early September, the deadline for Li Su to go to Xiangyang is getting closer and closer. At the same time, the first imperial examination in Chang'an is less than ten days away.

Fortunately, everything was carried out completely according to Li Su's invisible big hands, both slow and orderly. All resistance was within a controllable range.

Moreover, whether it is poor students or aristocratic families, their hatred is controlled by each other, and no party thinks that they blame the court.

"People's hearts are available. It's time to carry out the next official system reform. I just slapped those people and just gave them some sweet things to admit. At tomorrow's grand dynasty meeting, it's time to reform the official system and salary."

On the evening of the fifth day of the September 19th, after discussing the current situation with the ministers at the Shangshutai in the palace, Li Su returned to Sikong's mansion, poured himself and drank himself in the small building in the back garden, talking to himself.

At this time, concubines and slaves dare not come close to disturb them. They all know that the head of the family is thinking about national affairs that concern the people of the world.

Only Cai Yan dares to ask occasionally, after all, she is well-educated and experienced. She knows everything that happened in the first two history and what happened in "Dongguan Han Ji" and can be used as a reference.

Oh, to be off-topic, after Liu Bei ascended the throne, "Dongguan Han Ji" has been completed because of the new genealogy. In the past two months, Liu Bei's actual record has been written from scratch.

All the manuscripts of "Dongguan Han Ji" are from the semi-retired Taifu Cai Yong, and they are about to be compiled into "Book of the Later Han". Cai Yong was old and weak, so he just put a name to summarize the details. Of course, the following Taishi Ling and other officials will be dealt with, and Cai Yan will also participate in some of them.

In addition, Cai Yan had opened a pit earlier: adapting the "Han Shu" into a chronological "Han Ji", Cai Yan is now the second most important historian in the world, second only to her father.

(Note: In history, Liu Xie abbreviated the "Book of Han" to the chronological style and was caused by Xun Yue of the Xun family in Yingchuan. Now Liu Xie has been killed, so it is a task arranged by Liu Bei.

The advantage of chronological style is that the total length is much shorter, and one thing will not repeat itself in the biographies of different people, which saves more time and effort for those who want to read the entire history. chronological style is beneficial to those who choose to read selectively. If you want to know who you want to find out, you can finish reading the person's lifelong deeds by taking out the corresponding chapters.)

Therefore, Cai Yan learned this step now, and he was very clear about the counterattacks encountered by various reforms in history, how to deal with them, experience and lessons. From Guan Zhong, Wu, Wei Wenhou, Shang Yang, Yue Yishen, and Han Fei, Li Sisang Hongyang, you can learn from and remind your husband.

At this moment, Cai Yan heard his husband's pride in his arms, and had to beat him: "Although people's hearts are available, since ancient times, the reforms have given people a progressive level. The people who first attracted people to betrayal and ruin everything. These people should be careful when using them, so as not to lose their tails at the end.

My husband was the first to create the "God of Palaces is Blessed". I think that this palace can not only explain the rise and fall of the dynasty, but also explain the counterattack of reforms. The rafters that stand out first rot. Since others have made the rafters that stand out, they cannot really attract them as confidants, and just let these people rush to the shallow. Otherwise, they may form a cruel official politics like Zhang Tang."

Li Su smiled slightly, and did not look back. She just held the wine glass and went to the left forty-five degrees and asked in a low voice: "Have you seen the resumes I put on the table? These are all the ambitions that Jingzhao Yin has obtained recently. They are more keen to break through the main family. Although there has not been an exam, I have found a few people who are more good at ease and use any means, led by Sun Zi and Jia Kui.

I know very well what the first batch of beneficiaries of the new law that I have drawn up from the reform of the official selection. However, since it is only talented, even those who are unkind and unfilial are useful, and those who do not believe in unrighteous will naturally have their own uses. If they really do too much in the future, I will not deliberately avoid the consequences of Zhang Tang and Ji An, the master of Fu Yan."

Cai Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to know who they are. In fact, from the perspective of faith and morality, although these people did not take the money and money of the master's family, they also used the master's family's momentum to build up. Without trust, it is definitely a bit untrustworthy.

I don’t believe it. Before they came to Chang’an, they did not pretend to be a little unfair and obeyed the master’s orders. If they did not pretend to agree, would the master choose them to accompany him? So even if they did not get any benefits, they would definitely be deceiving.”

Li Su shook her sleeve and turned around: "Do you think I know it? In fact, Your Majesty already knows about the people who have been elected, who will be able to break through the old master's siege in the future. Your Majesty has already hit me. A gentleman can deceive him in the right way, and a villain can use him in the right way."

Cai Yan was shocked: "It turns out that Your Majesty has also seen it. Did Your Majesty read these typical resumes in advance?"

Li Su shook his head: "No, this is the wise place of Your Majesty. When it comes to knowing people, Your Majesty is above you and me. You and I just read history a lot and understand human nature. Your Majesty has less books, but it really depends on people. Anyone whom Your Majesty has seen me, he can tell who has said it is not very useful if he asks a few questions."

When Li Su said this, he was also deeply moved. Liu Bei's vision of using people is really vicious, perhaps it is rare in the world. Not only does it win over people's hearts, but it also sees through the other party's essence at a glance. Isn't Ma Su seen through in history?

Cai Yan did not persuade her anymore. She knew that her husband had already been fully prepared.

Li Su is very clear: whether a person's character and whether a person belongs to the progressive class are two completely irrelevant questions.

Many times, the representatives of backward classes have lived a better life before and are more calm in their private morality, "poor plans, wealth and conscience." At this time, the first batch of profiteers who reformed at the beginning are likely to be moral villains.

If any reformer cannot distinguish this, he will easily be brought into the trap by his own people. For example, Wang Anshi is a typical example of his ideals. His ideals are good, but he does not understand that "people who support good ideals may be despicable villains and exquisite selfish people."

So he couldn't see through Lu Huiqing, and would not use Lu Huiqing as a rag as toilet paper, and then throw it away. In the end, it became a party struggle and "as long as it is our own people, we must support and protect it at all costs." Of course, after the fight, Sima Guang, opposite Wang Anshi, also became an unprincipled person who opposed it for the sake of opposition. Sima Guang was a moral gentleman at the beginning, but later he used all means to get through it.

Back to the issue of imperial examinations, based on Li Su's previous life's knowledge and analysis of history, he certainly had long expected "what kind of character would be the first group of people who could benefit from the imperial examinations."

Because history has reported the answer to Li Su.

Strictly speaking, the imperial examinations in history began with Emperor Yang of Sui. They were held in the second and fifth year of Daye, and were all in a bid-in style. However, the Sui Dynasty was too short and was suspended for the third time because of the chaotic times. After that, Li Shimin's reign was basically the "only talented in wartime" of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Therefore, it was basically the late Zhenguan period when Emperor Yang Guang of Sui and Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Wu Zetian were in the era of Wu Zetian.

Li Su knew very well who he should be compared with whom he should be targeted. The fish he promoted today that broke through the betrothal was basically equivalent to those cruel officials in Wu Zetian's hands and those thugs who helped Wu Zetian defeat the Guanlong Group represented by Changsun Wuji.

In terms of personal morality, let alone those scumbags in the absolute sense of Zhou Xinglai Junchen, even Xu Jingzong who framed Changsun Wuji, would definitely be much more villainous than Changsun Wuji who was framed by him.

Wu Zetian was finally dragged into the quagmire, which had a lot to do with her uncontrollable and cruel political informant rule. The villain could not stop after using it for a long time, and even if he killed Zhou Xinglai Junchen in the end, he could not wash away her own backlash.

Therefore, any reformer or even the singer must be vigilant and always be prepared to purify their team. If the early speculators inside are not often eliminated, the final outcome will definitely end like those "peasant uprisings with historical limitations". Only by constantly clearing one's own reflection will it not be reformed into a party struggle.

People like Sun Zi and Jia Kui were clearly arranged for their final outcome when Li Su was ready to use it, so they let them absorb the "first-in-commendation of God" of reform in the counterattack of the aristocratic family and the hatred for the reformers themselves.

Character is character, progressiveness is progressiveness. Progressiveness should be affirmed, but poor character should be punished, which is not contradictory.

Thinking of this, Li Su hugged her knees proudly and chanted his disciples' favorite health care song.

I still use the tune of the 94 version in his previous life.

"The sky is like a round cover~ the land is like a chess game~ the world is divided into black and white~ the people are fighting for honor and disgrace~ the honor and the honor will be at peace~ the humiliation will be a mediocre~ the trust will be a blessing~ the first to advocate the punishment of heaven~"

The sound is simple and desolate, and it is actually the "Song of Liang Fu".

The great way is simple, which is what it means.

Cai Yan listened next to him, and at first he felt that it was harsh and dissatisfied with the rhythm and frowned slightly.

After listening to it for a long time, I felt that the law of heaven was circulating, and the rule of chaos, honor and disgrace were all included, and I couldn't help singing along with it. I even took out the huqin to accompany it. I felt that it was not satisfied with the accompaniment, so I simply stopped singing it myself and took out the huqin to play it in line with it.

The instruments of the northern Hu people are more suitable for expressing sad and vast sounds than Han music. For example, among string-pulling instruments, the Huqin (the erhu has been derived from since then) are known for their sad tone. Those who do not understand the rhythm can only imagine "Erquan Music" or "Xiaoxiang Night Rain" by Mr. Mo Da in the martial arts novel.

Similarly, among the musical instruments of playing, Hu Zi is also famous for this. Hu Zi is an instrument between the Han flute and the suona in later generations. People who are amateurs can imagine the "suma sounds XXX" in later generations' comments.

In this life, Cai Yan had already changed his fate by Li Su and had no chance to be captured and went to Hu. However, because the Southern Xiongnu were subdued by Li Su early, Cai Yan has not lacked academic observation opportunities to learn from Hu Le in recent years.

She is naturally passionate about music and often asks Li Su to bring some Southern Xiongnu music girls back as slaves. Hu Han mentioned it carefully, but he still gained the essence of Hu Qin and Hu Zi.

Under the accompaniment of Hu Ba, Li Su sang and vented the depression in his chest. As he sang, he felt that the Lingtai was bright and he just hugged his knees and sniffed to sleep.
