C205 Analyze (2/2)

But when she met Liu Bang, she said to him: ”You let Peng Yue go, it is the same as letting a tiger back to the mountain.”

It was also suggested that Liu Bang should execute him, kill him and chop him into minced meat and give him to the other dukes.

In fact, if Xiao Wen had traveled here a few years ago and fought alongside Liu Bang, he would probably have gotten a portion of Peng Yue's meat sauce as well …

Historically, Liu Bang claimed that for eight years, the empress assisted him in suppressing the rebellion and fighting the secession forces, which played an important role in consolidating the reunited regime of the Han Dynasty, and was fully prepared for her to take power in the future.

Of course, Lu Zhi wasn't a brainless killer.

In fact, Lu Zhi and some other ancient Chinese female politicians, like Wu Zaitian and Shangguan Wan-er, have a magical gift for cultural development.

Other than the soft Zhao Song Imperial Family and the Southern Tang Emperor Li Yu, who was even softer than them, not many could compare to these talents.

Historically, during the reign of Lu Zhi, she practiced the old art of internal affairs and the policy of resting with the people.

Abolish the law of taking books, order encourage the people to collect books, present books, restore the old book. It laid a good foundation for the future governance of the culture and scenery.

Sima Qian's evaluation of her in ”This Chronicle of the Empress Dowager Lu” was as follows: ”If you can't rule a house, the world will see the light of day; punishment is rare; the sinners will be happy; the people's work will be great, and food and clothing will be cultivated”, which gave her great affirmation of governance.

It could be said that although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to defeat the Huns, eighty percent of the credit belonged to his father and grandfather, who were also known as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

However, this kind of policy actually began from the period of Lu Zhi.

Otherwise, if Emperor Wu only knew how to protect his own authority, he would have been beaten to a pulp by the Huns!

As for Lu Zhi's brutal actions of chopping meat and cutting off his hands and feet, digging out his ears and eyes, using poison to turn people into mutes and throwing them into the toilet, if Xiao Wen was to judge them, Lu Zhi probably wouldn't feel too much of a problem.

Savage, murder, greed, treachery, hypocrisy, these were all flaws that an ordinary person had to discard. But for a ruler of a country, this was an absolute advantage.

If one did not have these characteristics, one could refer to the Ming Dynasty's emperor Chong Zhen, Zhu You, for he was too kind-hearted and had been played around by the civil service.

Not to mention governing a country, he couldn't even protect the land and the lands.

Of course, this thought was only seen from Xiao Wen's perspective.

But as the saying goes, butt decides the head.

If he was standing in the middle of an interest group that was opposed to the royal family, he certainly didn't want the emperor or the ruler to be such a person.

After all, the smarter the ruler was, the more it would make the people below sad.

At this moment, Lu Zhi from Weiyang Palace was doing something that might make it difficult for Xiao Wen to do.

She opened the memorial in front of her eyes and began to read.

It was said above that Lu Zhi's idea of governing the country had a clear Taoist tendency.

What she cared about was the economic development of the country, she wanted to do nothing so that she could rest with the people.

Never interfere with economic development, if you can.

But the Western Han Dynasty was still a feudal dynasty, and it could not be as bad as America was in the early 20th century.

Nor is Mr Lu likely to let the economy go as far as Mr Hoover.
