Chapter 2747: Borrowing From Shi Mingzhi
Ling Jinhua chuckled, and did not refuse to answer Luo Ziling's question: "Ma Zhou was born in a poor family. After helping the Zhonglang to send Chang He to the Taoist school, he got Li Shimin's great use, and finally became the official of the Zhongshuling. Although the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was not alone. He is above 10,000 people, but he is also the ultimate minister. Ma Zhou is very good both in character and political ability. He is a famous minister who came from a poor background. Don't be buried. Didn't Li Shi once say that all the talented people in the world are reused by him?"
"Wei Zheng is an example set by Emperor Taizong. He is straightforward and outspoken. Although his political talent is not very outstanding, he has a good reputation in history. He is also a model of being a minister. He is the same as Ma Zhou and Fang Fang. , Du and other famous officials in the early Tang Dynasty, worked hard to assist Li Shimin, and did their part for the emergence of Zhenguan's prosperity. Without these famous officials, the rule of Zhenguan may not necessarily appear. "
"Great-grandfather's evaluation is quite satisfactory!" Luo Ziling smiled, and then asked Ling Jinhua: "Great-grandfather prefers Ma Zhou or Wei Zheng?"
"Ma Zhou!" Ling Jinhua gave the answer without hesitation, and gave his reasons: "Ma Zhou is capable, with almost no blemishes, and he came from a poor background. Not really."
"I think people who can be honest and outspoken are really worthy of admiration. Thousands of people are not as good as one person." Luo Ziling said seriously: "I think the very important reason for the emergence of Zhenguan Prosperity is that Li Shimin has so many upright ministers around him, not only Wei Zheng, but also Xiao Yu, Wen Yanbo, Cen Wenwen, and Dai Zhou. These people dare to speak out, and dare to accuse the emperor Li Shimin of his faults in front of the civil and military officials of the court. This kind of situation rarely happened in other dynasties except Li Shimin's time."
"The most important reason why the Tang Dynasty was prosperous more than ten years after the founding of the country was that there were so many ministers who were outspoken and outspoken, and there was an emperor with a modest heart. Looking at history, the social atmosphere was open, and ordinary people could freely evaluate the successes and losses of the government. It was a prosperous age. During Zhenguan, Wei Zheng, Wen Yanbo, and Xiao Yu dared to hide Li Shimin’s scolding and run away, even chasing him into the harem to continue scolding him. Bai Juyi dared to write the story of Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan as "Song of Everlasting Regret", ha ha, In fact, we are not as good as the ancients."
Luo Ziling's emotion after the last "hehe" made Ling Jinhua's face change.
"What do you mean?" He asked Luo Ziling expressionlessly.
He realized that he had misunderstood what Luo Ziling meant.
Luo Ziling suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "Tang poetry is a pinnacle of Chinese culture, and it is difficult for future generations to surpass it. The top-down atmosphere and tolerance of the Tang Dynasty is also difficult for future generations to match. Bai Mian. Grandpa, do you think that you have worked hard all your life and reached the height of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Why not?" Ling Jinhua's face was a little ugly,
"Can life in the Tang Dynasty be compared to now?"
"I'm referring to the horizontal comparison, but the vertical comparison is boring. With the development of the times and the advancement of science and technology, no matter which aspect is definitely getting better and better." Luo Ziling shook his head, "I think that the advantages of Datang that are praised by later generations do not exist in our era. .Grandpa, before you retired, who would dare point your nose to correct your mistakes and scold you in front of other people like Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, and Wen Yanbo back then?"
"I'm not Li Shimin!" Ling Jinhua replied firmly.
"You as a whole are Li Shimin, but no one among you can be as generous and tolerant as Li Shimin. Our entire society is not as tolerant and generous as it was in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no top-down open-mindedness. Everyone likes to hear good things, and they can't accept other people's opinions, and no one dares to give you opinions. Everywhere you go, you are hello, me, hello, everyone." At this point, Luo Ziling paused, and then expressed his final point of view. Said it out: "I think that if we allow this situation to continue, it is impossible for us to catch up with Laomei. The current Laomei is similar to the prosperous Tang Dynasty in those days, and can tolerate the world. ..."
"Do you think it's appropriate for you to say such a thing?" Ling Jinhua interrupted Luo Ziling.
"Yeah, it's inappropriate, because it's not Zhenguan Tang Dynasty now, and what is needed is obedient people, not different opinions. The ancient sayings that good medicine tastes bitter and loyal words are harsh, have long been forgotten by everyone." Luo Ziling said, pointing to Ling Ruonan "In fact, I think my mother is better than most people in that she dares to tell the truth. Because of this, I really hope that she can go one step further and reach the point where she can influence the whole of China. If there is such a day, I will definitely urge my mother to take "a thousand husbands are not as good as a few people" as the highest principle of governance. I also think that if one day I finally step into the officialdom, what I will do is to hope that the atmosphere of the whole society will change. into this."
Ling Ruonan didn't expect that Luo Ziling would just gossip like this when he arrived at Ling Jinhua's place, and even dragged her into it, so he couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded. But after seeing the expressions of Ling Jinhua and Luo Ziling, they didn't say anything to stop them, but let Luo Ziling continue talking nonsense there.
Ling Jinhua was not angry, but a little excited, and the matter did not get out of hand.
Moreover, she also agreed with what Luo Ziling said.
She has a relatively straightforward temperament. Although the degree of straightforwardness has "converged" with age and status, she still likes those who dare to tell the truth. She hopes that the people under her will be loyal, but she hates people who flatter her. She thinks that people who never ask you for advice are not really loyal. A truly loyal person is the one who dares to point out what you are doing wrong and give your own advice.
She is also very clear about Luo Ziling's temperament.
Although my son is a bit smooth in doing things, he is also a very upright person in his bones.
If he wasn't of such a temperament, he wouldn't have turned against other Ling family children at Ling Jinhua's 90th birthday banquet.
It was even more impossible to say those straightforward things to Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui.
She also wanted to see how Ling Jinhua would react after Luo Ziling said these things directly.
"You are too idealistic." Ling Jinhua was not angry. He glanced at Luo Ziling, then at Ling Ruonan, and smiled again, "Nannan, your son is an idealist. He thinks too much about things. It's simple, if you don't change your temperament, you will definitely suffer in the future."
"Grandpa," Luo Ziling replied before Ling Ruonan: "I won't change it. I don't think I am idealistic, nor is it impossible to realize it. Since you are studying history, and it is the history of the early Tang Dynasty, Then you can see what the atmosphere in the court was like at that time. As long as the superiors set an example instead of formalism, the influence from top to bottom is still very powerful. I think you can tolerate me talking nonsense in front of you nonsense, then I will definitely tell you more of my own advice, and I will tell you a lot of truth; otherwise, you will not hear the truth. I think most people like to tell the truth to others and hate You have to be hypocritical when you get along with others, right? Since everyone is like this, why do you have to be hypocritical?"
"You want to get more support from me for your mother in this way?" Ling Jinhua's eyes sparkled when he asked this question.
