Eight hundred and eighth chapter, the Son of Heaven teaches his grandson(2/2)

Even now, the great master of Wuzhu coins is still the same.

Even if the princes breaks the law, they will be punished and punished by law. (The Liu emperor relies on the law and system to execute and punish the princes and kings, at least in double digits! If the princes are not counted clearly!)

And this emperor is not just the guardian of the law.

He is also a defender of freedom of speech.

Today, the Chang'an gossip parties were able to freely write jokes for the ministers, nickname the lords and nobles, and even tease the palace gossip, all thanks to the "defamation of slander" issued by the emperor that year.

What makes people even more respectful and respectful is that this emperor is also a rare frugal king in the feudal history of two thousand years.

Throughout my life, I will do it myself, whether I wear, live or travel.

In the palace, he brought eunuchs to farm and raise bacteria, and asked Empress Dowager Bo and Empress Dou to raise silkworms and weave cloth, and plant hemp for clothes.

He reigned for twenty-three years and had never practiced a palace.

It didn't even add any precious luxury goods to the palace.

The dresses his concubines wore were only one foot away from the floor, and there was no tattoo ornament in the palace. There was no gold, silver, copper and tin in the corridors of the palace.

All are terracotta tiles and clay pots.

Even the tombs did not have half a gold and silver burial objects, all of which were made of pottery tiles!

However, he was frugal to himself, his children and concubines.

But he is very generous to the farmers and the working people.

He reigned for 23 years and was exempted from national land tax and corvee labor many times.

The Han family's field tax system, the thirty-tax tax system, was established in his hands and continued until the demise of the Western Han Dynasty.

Compared with the so-called "never increase taxes" that Kang Mazi's so-called "never increase taxes" system pioneered by this emperor, it is simply the policy of Jie and Zhou!

Such a king appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, which can only be said to be an anomaly.

It is a blessing for China and a blessing for the world!

It was not just Zhang Yue, but in front of the emperor's clothes, he was trembling and could only bow his head and worship.

The emperor is not much better.

He saw the simple and simple grandfather's dress.

He sighed, bent his knees and bowed his head, bowed his head to greet him, unable to speak a word.

Because, facing this emperor, he felt deeply ashamed and guilty.

He knew that his annual expenses would probably exceed all the personal expenses of his grandfather's twenty-three years of imperial career.

This has not been calculated yet, the construction costs of Jianzhang Palace, Ganquan Palace and Mingguang Palace.

It doesn’t count the expenses of Fengshan Mountain and the tour of the world.

"The ancestors have merits and the sect has virtue..." The emperor sighed for a long time: "The virtues of Emperor Taizong are revealed in the sun and the moon, and are revealed in the heaven and earth. I am ashamed of being..."

Liu Jin and Zhang Yue both wisely shut their mouths at this time.

In the two thousand years of feudal dynasty history, how many emperors can compare with the Han Taizong's ruling level and personal cultivation?

The ability of Hand to last for four hundred years depends entirely on the emperor's legacy.

You should know that in the late New Year's dynasty, almost all peasant uprising troops had to find a royal family named Liu to be the leader.

And this is people's expectations and people's hearts.

After sighing for a while, the emperor stood up, looked at the Taizong's clothes and said to Liu Jin: "Jin'er, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Demu Heaven and Earth, and birds and beasts are not something that ordinary people can do, and I don't force you to learn..."

"When the late emperor took me to visit Emperor Taizong's clothes, I learned a lesson. Now I will teach you this lesson..."

"Sun Chen Gong heard the holy teachings!" Liu Jin immediately kowtowed.

"The late emperor taught me that in the governance of Xiaowen, virtue is the auxiliary, and the main is power. You must not put the cart before the horse. If the cart before the horse is reversed, it will be like Tai A's rebellion!"

"Jin'er can think about it. The Han system is mixed with overlordship. I feel very comforted. This is your knowledge. You should remember it in your heart in the future and not forget it!"

"No!" Liu Jingong bowed again.

Just thinking about it, I couldn't help but have some ambitions.

The emperor's grandfather said that Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's virtues and benevolent government were not something that ordinary people could do.

However, Liu Jin wanted to challenge one or two.

He didn't believe it anymore. He couldn't do what his great-grandfather could do?

The emperor looked at his grandson's expression and understood in his heart that most of this grandson had already had ambitions at this time.

Just like when he was taken to Taizong by the late emperor.

He has also been determined to do it.

But……

That's too difficult!

It's almost impossible!

After all, the king has infinite power, possesses the world, is rich in the world, and can do whatever he wants.

Without great wisdom and perseverance, it is impossible to be like Emperor Taizong. Even if he is rich in the world, he will still be frugal. Even if the world praises him, he will not change his original intention.

Even if it is done on the surface and pretends to be frugal, it is extremely difficult.

He himself, without even a year of persistence, was defeated by the endless temptation and attraction of this flower world.

Can Liu Jin?

The emperor shook his head secretly. How could the royal eldest grandson, who did not have the early experience of Taizong, had never experienced poverty, did not know the sufferings of the people, and was born with the golden key, have the perseverance and determination of Taizong?

However, Liu Jin's expression made him quite relieved.

Finally...

This eldest grandson is no longer "not like himself".
