Emperor Wen visited Yanxiantang to hear the lawsuit in person (Total 444th)
These are the most valuable things in the "Tongjian of Zizhizhi"
Emperor Wen of Song After he ascended the throne, he visited Yanxiantang to listen to the lawsuit in person. This is inconsistent with the identity of the man who dominates the world. However, in terms of him and the national conditions at the time, this move conforms to the current objective reality.
Since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the lack of management of the world and its people has existed for a long time. The emperors of the Jin Dynasty were either too young when they ascended the throne, or they were incompetent after taking the throne, and they entrusted all the affairs of the country, no matter how big or small, to their assistant ministers, and such a commission lasted for hundreds of years.
As for those imperial court ministers who rule the government, those who conspire to usurp often only hide in their hearts what they want to devour the world, and never say anything, so they just act indulgently and have no worries; a virtuous person is like a king Director, Xi Jian, He Chong , and Xie An , etc., also only keep things in mind such as clearing strong ministers and defending against foreign enemies. In their spare time, they only get together to chat and laugh, and both types of people think that they are suave. As for greedy and despicable people, such as Sima Daozi who once controlled the government, it is not worth mentioning.
Up to the demise of the Jin Dynasty, the law and discipline were corrupted, and the world was in decline. By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, it had reached its peak. Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu was hunted for a high position with outstanding military exploits. He was born in the army, and he was a heroic person but did not understand politics. Therefore, he could not reach the level where he could consider why he should be close to the people. His subordinates, Liu Muzhi, Fu Liang, , etc., are just a few villains who play political speculation. They are indifferent to the social chaos that affects the interests of the common people. The relevant departments are greedy and impatient, and have no idea how to govern the people and plan for their survival.
When Emperor Wen of Song ascended the throne, he completely inherited these drawbacks. Therefore, if he intends to manage this messy politics, then he must not be pampered and superior. What's more, ministers such as Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, Xie Hui, etc., who killed the king and established the king, have shaken the court and the opposition. If Emperor Wen of Song did not personally visit the people and visit extensively to seek the way of governance, then he would be completely suspended above the imperial court. How can an emperor who can only be abolished by anyone else control the power and protect the throne?
Based on this, Emperor Wen of Song was eager to visit Tingsong in person. He wanted to personally inform his subjects that there was a monarch on them. This is a typical way of turning to one's own self-improvement.
It can be seen from this that Emperor Wen of Song had deep ambitions and strategies, and he started , the rule of Yuanjia, , for the above-mentioned rebellion and execution, all based on this as a starting point.
Despite this, watching Emperor Wen of Song Liu Yilong use such a method to dominate the world, let us stand in today's position and think that he has the feeling of a little bit of a dead end. In the country's major affairs, the Son of Heaven must intervene, only the following three points: the system of selecting officials, taxation, corvée and servitude, and punishment and litigation. That alone has made it difficult to sort out. Find the right person, clean up the law and discipline, the responsibilities of the gentry will not be neglected, the life of the common people will not be difficult, and the political power will not be transferred.
In a society, if one must condescend to be the emperor, remove the crown and royal attire, go down to the people to visit, and deal with the lascivious things between men and women who are engaged in humble jobs, it is tantamount to competing with the people for wisdom. Those who disturb the state will become more scheming; they are vying for power with ordinary officials, and the result will be more and more people who want to steal power. Being too smart and alert will eventually turn into dizziness.
Liu Yilong's search for , ZTE , which has been decadent for a century, wants to be clarified by Yuyu in one day, is it so easy?
As an emperor, he sent special envoys to travel through counties and , to visit the people's sufferings, and to edict the counties and counties to state their pros and cons. Perhaps this is what the emperor should do to participate in governance. Therefore, the emperor came to hear the lawsuit in person, it was only an expedient measure, and it was not worthy of future generations to follow suit.
Shangshu Ling Wang Jinghong said: "I am puzzled after reading the letter of greetings from Your Majesty." This is too arrogant, but it is still in the style of being a minister.
A minister in the position of prime minister whose main responsibilities are to manage the outline, assist the emperor in appointing talents, formulate laws, and strive to make the world peaceful, not to mention the emperor himself?
