Chapter 792 Misunderstanding

When cooking big fish, just put a fish in the pot and stew it. But if the small fish are made one by one, it is either a thorny or idle pain, it is a intensive phobia. If these special species are discharged, dozens of small fish will be poured into the pot one by one. When cooking big fish, you only need to stare at one fish, and see clearly, and the cooking process is relatively simple. However, when cooking small fish, there are a lot of them in the pot, you must stir appropriately and take care of the numerous small fish, so that each small fish will be heated evenly, so that it will not burn close to the bottom of the pot, and the top is still raw; in addition, the soup should also be soaked in all the small fish, so that some fish will not have a strong smell, while some are light and tasteless.

Therefore, Zhao Bing thought that this was the most significant difference between "cooking small fresh food" and "cooking big fresh food", and it was also the essence of Lao Tzu's metaphor. If Lao Tzu wanted to explain the principle that "governing a big country cannot make trouble", then his words should be "governing a big country is like cooking big fresh food", because this is more appropriate, so that his thoughts can be accurately expressed. However, in fact, Lao Tzu used "small fresh food" as a metaphor, which obviously he has a different metaphor.

Zhao Bing thought that if you say "governing a small country is like cooking a big fresh", it makes sense. Because the country is as big as Qiongzhou. If you take good care of the people on the island, the people in the "nation country" will basically be bathed in the emperor's grace. However, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, with a vast territory and a large number of people. It will be much more difficult to take care of every citizen. Those in power must do everything possible and make greater efforts to allow the people in remote areas to be treated the same as those under the imperial city, so that people from all walks of life can receive appropriate care.

Chinese people have always had a tradition of not worrying about injustice, which is what modern people often call hatred of the rich. If it develops to a certain extent, it will cause social conflicts. When social conflicts accumulate to a certain extent, they almost always rise up by the people and forcefully equalize the rich and the poor, and change the emperor again. Zhao Bing was a lifelong loser in his previous life, dreaming of killing the rich and helping the poor and sharing the fruits of development with them. Think about it, people will definitely not be much different at this moment. If they don’t equalize the rich and the poor for them, they will have to equalize the rich and the poor for themselves.

Therefore, Zhao Bing believed that whether it was historical experience or his two-life experience, he believed that social achievements should be felt by everyone and could be enjoyed fairly. However, those in power should be the executor of maintaining fairness to avoid some people making huge profits and being extravagant, while others working hard all day long and hard to fill their stomachs. What they have to do is to have a reasonable national system and a set of benign rules to ensure the spontaneous operation of the state machinery, and this rule can be consistent and not abandoned by others or end up with things.

However, Zhao Bing knew his weight very well. It had been thousands of years since Lao Tzu proposed this theory to his previous life. There were many famous scholars and wise kings and wise kings, but it still could not be solved perfectly. Those who could achieve relatively fairness could be called wise kings. That era was called a prosperous era. And to do it himself, only hehe was left. Although the result was very frustrated, he hoped that he could also build a relatively fair society so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. But it was unknown how difficult this road was, and how far it could go was unknown...

In the current society with literati and officials as the leadership class, governing the country with virtue is the kingly way, governing the country with law is the hegemony, and establishing a country with power and tricks is the destruction of the country. In their opinion, establishing a country with power and tricks is the rampant one, it will lead the country into disarray. In such a country, internal friction will inevitably increase, and management costs will suddenly rise. When it is uncotten, it will naturally destruction.

Zhao Bing thought this made sense, but he thought it was different from time to time. When he first came to this world, he looked dark and was still an optional spare tire. Can he do it without playing a little trick? Then, if he didn't play tricks in extremely complicated and dangerous situations, how could he get out of it? How could he win over people's hearts without making a name in Qiongzhou, get money to maintain his small court, and resist the repeated conquests of the Mongol Yuan. So the power has been integrated into his life.

However, now the territory is larger, the population is larger, and there are more things. If you still rely on power to protect your status and power, it is obviously out of place. Therefore, Zhao Bing thought that he had already passed the period of managing the country by using conspiracies and tricks, which means that he had completed his original accumulation by "black". Now it should be time to bleach.

So is it a path of kingly path or a path of domineering? Zhao Bing felt that the path of kingly path is the highest stage of governing the country, and the path of domineering is as insurmountable as socialism before communist society. Only in this way can the battle to restore the country be completed, and the transition from unified thinking with coercive force to the highest stage of governing the country can achieve the healthy operation of the state organizational system, and automatically adjust and improve without excessive intervention from managers, and reach the highest state of "the government of a country is like a governance of one body".

Of course, Zhao Bing knew that this road was also a difficult path. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various princes made reforms and strengthened their own efforts in order to protect themselves, but few people succeeded in the real reform. The main reason was that the new law was bound by too many personnel and power techniques during the implementation of the new law, which was so bad that it had a beginning and no end. It can be seen that when the country's reform policies conflicted with its own interests, those who advocated the change themselves could not adhere to the principles, and the effect of the new law could be imagined.

The only reason for the success of the reform was the new law that Shang Yang later implemented in Qin. At that time, the seven countries were competing for power, and the reason why Qin was able to annex the eight desolates and unify the world was because Shang Yang left a complete set of sound legal systems for Qin. Although Shang Yang's new law, although mixed praise in history, was "right": rewards will be rewarded if they have merits, and punishment will be punished if they have mistakes. They will be transparently implemented in accordance with the provisions of the law, and will never play with power tricks or operate in secret. The most important thing is that rewards and punishments can be fulfilled in a timely manner and will never lose trust from the people.

Governing the country with righteousness and rewards and punishments is the key to Qin's success in the Warring States Period when gunpowder was full of smoke. Even Sima Guang, who had always adhered to morality and had complaints about the rule of law, praised Shang Yang in "Zizhi Tongjian". He said: Although Shang Jun used harshly laws, he was in a chaotic world and was rampant in deception, and he could still not lose trust in the people. This alone is enough to govern the world and pacify the world. It can be seen that Confucianism also had to agree that the legal system still had an irreplaceable role in wartime and the founding of the country...

The next day, Wen Tianxiang was going to arrest Qin Linfeng and the plan to adapt the Weisheng Army was submitted. After reading it, Zhao Bing only changed the "On-site Fa-rectification" to "escort back to Beijing, and the three courts were held to be tried." The rest of the words were not changed, and they were allowed to be implemented accordingly. At this time, after the states and prefectures in various places learned that His Majesty could not return to Beijing and would send tributes through water and land, but everyone knew that the little emperor "don't love money", so they all delivered specialties from various places, including food.

Zhao Bing ordered the tribute to the army, and at the same time issued an edict to hold a banquet for civil and military officials on the New Year's Day. The commanders and commanders of each army were above, and the heads of Ezhou prefectures and civil officials above the fifth rank were all included. The emperor had never had any major events here for the New Year. The people of the whole city were proud and grateful that the army had no offense after entering the city, and there was no large-scale war in the city. They donated the troops to comfort the army, and there were also lights and decorations everywhere, giving the festive atmosphere.

The New Year's Day banquet was set up in the lobby of the General Administration. Although there were no more people in the court, there were two or three hundred people gathered together. Wen Tianxiang was on both sides to congratulate His Majesty on the New Year and read the congratulatory form. Zhao Bing had been around for nearly ten major court meetings and was already familiar with the routine. After a New Year's speech, the banquet was held, as usual, a wine and a singing and dancing.

After the sixth course of the banquet, Chen Dun led a team of soldiers from the guard camp to enter the lobby with guns, but everyone did not feel strange, because it was a common practice for military performing at the New Year's Day banquet in the Song Dynasty. But they did not perform but were divided into two teams and stood behind the officials. The lobby suddenly showed a solemn atmosphere. Everyone was confused, so they looked at the little emperor on the throne, but they all became nervous.

"The emperor has issued an edict. Now, it is found that the commander of the Weisheng Army, Qin Linfeng, was corrupt and abused the law and violated military discipline. He should be punished and removed from his post as the commander, and escorted to Lin'an for trial!" Wen Tianxiang stood up and glanced at everyone in the hall, and read out the imperial edict loudly.

"Your Majesty, last general..." Qin Linfeng, who was already as if nothing had happened, changed his face and suddenly stood up. However, behind him, the guards and soldiers had not waited for him to struggle, so he pressed him down, put on a rope and dragged him aside.

"The emperor issued an edict. As an important official of the imperial court, Xie Ao, who was guilty of the imperial court, turned a blind eye to the illegal officials and condoned them. Now he was removed from his position as an appeasement envoy and sent to the capital to wait for punishment!" Wen Tianxiang glanced at Xie Ao, who was at a loss and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!" Xie Ao never expected that he would drink and talk to His Majesty on the river a few days ago, but today he became a person who was guilty. He couldn't help but feel blank and stunned. When he was held down by two personal soldiers, he believed it was true and struggled to shout.

"You know whether you are guilty or not. You know in your heart. After finding out the truth, you should have a public opinion. Gao Yu should not waste his energy!" Wen Tianxiang looked at his old subordinate who was struggling to be wronged and said coldly.

"Right Prime Minister, I..." Xie Ao still wanted to tell the difference after hearing this, but shook his head and retreated aside with the help of the two soldiers.
