Chapter 420 Eight Marquis Wu Theory
Several people walked slowly like this, listening to Li Junge's casual explanation of the poems and dictionaries inside, and sighed.

Nodding along the way, I felt that when I came to Wuhou Temple before, I was really a horse watching flowers and buying baskets and returning pearls. It turns out that my art of couplets in Greater China is so sublime!

After walking for a while, a few people came to a long couplet, which is the most famous heart attack couplet in Wuhou Temple.

The name of the couplet is the word "combat" in the couplet. The couplet was made by Zhao Fan of the Qing Dynasty: "If you can attack the mind, you will disappear on your own. It has been known from ancient times that soldiers are not belligerent; if you don't judge the situation, you will be lenient and strict. Shu must think deeply."

Li Junge shook his head and said with emotion: "Sure enough, he is the Prime Minister Zhuge who combines the two schools of war, and the word "attack" breaks through all methods..."

Liang Huili tilted her head and looked at it for a long time: "I think that if you can attack your heart, you will get rid of it yourself, which is similar to what you did in Lijiagou..."

Li Junge hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, we are fundamentally different. He is using the human heart as a fortress to conquer, and my Confucianism is treating the human heart as an iceberg to melt."

Yu Xiaorong pointed at Li Junge and said, "Hahaha, the fox's tail has finally been exposed! You are slandering Mr. Kong Ming! You have prejudices!"

Li Junge smiled and said, "It's not a prejudice, but a pertinent evaluation."

While a few people were visiting the scenery of Wuhou Temple, Li Junge explained his views to everyone: "First of all, I don't deny that Zhuge Liang is a great statesman, and his personal integrity is also very noble. But many practices, are they just It can be interpreted as 'devotion to death, until death', this matter needs to be said twice."

"It is said that he is a great politician, and everyone will not object to this, right? But what is the essence of a politician? He is a representative of a class, or a representative of an interest group. He serves this group, and this group It is his root, the source of his strength."

"However, a smart politician will guide this group and let the interests of this group be bound up with the interests of the vast majority of people. This is called the mass base. Secondly, win a group and suppress a group, as long as you are in the majority , that can be considered a success, and this is the difference between the ruling party and the opposition party abroad.”

"But when the interests of multiple parties conflict, we should not expect politicians to give up their positions and stand on the opposite side of their own interest groups, because this is determined by the nature of politicians."

"If you see this problem clearly, many things in history can be explained. The most typical examples are Sima Guang and Wang Anshi in the Northern Song Dynasty. Both of them are noble in character, profound in knowledge, simple in life, do not accept concubines, and have private lives. Nothing to blame."

"However, their political stances are diametrically opposed, which is determined by the different interest groups they represent. They can distinguish between public and private, and their political disputes are above the court, and they have a close relationship in private. This should be a model for politicians. But their successors were not so noble, and finally caused party disputes, which planted the roots of the collapse of the Song Dynasty."

"As a politician, Zhuge Liang is inevitably a representative of a political group. What group? A group of foreigners who came to Sichuan headed by Liu Bei. After seeing this essence clearly, and looking at his behavior, we can find a reasonable explanation."

"Zhuge Liang's achievement lies in turning Liu Bei from a weak leader of a small warlord in exile to a monarch who separatists a powerful force. This is an undeniable achievement. But after entering Shu, how did he do it?"

"Let's look at some examples in the history books. First of all, it is said that he is 'hands-on'. Can this be interpreted as 'dictatorship'? Is he always preventing local people from developing and becoming big?"

"The history books also mentioned the arrogant Fazheng. As a 'Shu traitor', Zhuge Liang let him do what he did. He also smiled and said that this child has been aggrieved for a long time, so he deserves to relax."

"I'm horrified to see these words. Isn't this the way Zheng Zhuanggong let his younger brother go? First let the traitors of Shu destroy the local forces in Shu, and after he gets angry with the people, can the Prime Minister come forward and have a tearful cry?" Cut Fazheng'?"

"Fortunately, Fazheng was clever and stopped in time, but the local forces have not been let go either. Isn't exile of Li Yan a blow to the local forces?"

"Let's talk about the six Qishan Mountains, is it really 'the Han and the traitors are not at odds, and the king's way is not partial to peace'? With Zhuge Liang's wisdom, will he not be able to see clearly the comparison of the strengths of Wei and Shu?"

"Verbally speaking, it is advancing into the Central Plains Xingfu Han Dynasty, but I think it is more reasonable to switch to the other two interpretations..."

"First of all, it should be the collective appeal of the foreigners, that is, the interest group represented by Zhuge Liang. If you don't return to your hometown, it's like traveling at night in brocade. We northerners think it's more refreshing to go back to the north to eat wheat chicken. Therefore, as a member of this group Leader, there are things he has to do..."

"Secondly, it should be a political tacit understanding between those in power in Wei State and Zhuge Liang."

"I know what you mean, you should support your troops! Show off your control over the army! Don't you really want to hit me, I will understand in seconds!"

"The only thing I can't understand is Wei Yan's stupidity. He insisted on making some reasonable suggestions. What's the result?"

"We don't care how clever the various poems, songs, and historical texts are, we only look at the facts. The Wei envoy saw Zhuge Liang's rule, and the report he wrote when he went back said that 'all the scholars are hungry, and the people are rich', followed by the sentence 'other The people don't complain', which means to praise the Prime Minister of Shu for his great governance."

"But it's frightening to think about it carefully, hehehe, don't you think this scene is very familiar?"

Liu Chengxian thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out: "You are talking nonsense, I am not familiar with it at all! How can the common people support you when they can't eat enough?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "In the northeast of our country, right now, there is such a country..."

Liu Cheng slapped his head first: "Go to me! When you say that, it really looks like him..."

Li Junge continued: "After Zhuge Liang's death, the people of the Shu Kingdom still asked to set up a ancestral hall to worship. This place has become famous again. The court didn't allow it at the beginning! Hehehe, can it explain a little bit about the attitude of the royal family? And then? The common people worship in private , the white cloth wrapped around his head is not taken off, once he wears it for a thousand years..."

"Is this scene familiar to everyone? This is another strange phenomenon."

"Although life is hard, as long as the leader suffers together, then his character is decent and he can uphold justice, and the people will praise him after his death."

"On the other hand, although life is good, if the difference between the two is too great, the common people will also scold them. This is called 'do not worry about being few, but about unevenness'..."

"Is Zhuge Liang the only one in history? No, before him, there were Yi Yin, Jiang Shang, Zhou Gong, Huo Guang... These people are often compared to Zhuge Liang... And after him, there is Zhang Juzheng , and even Zeng Guofan can be added.”

"In a word, the power of the prime minister is blazing, and the power of the emperor is extremely weak. It's just that some people have done the deed, and some people have not."

"When I read Mr. Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman", there was a sentence in it called opening a history book, and the word "cannibalism" was written between the lines. I didn't understand what this sentence meant, so I went to my fourth grandfather. Grandpa took out the history book and explained it to me, which made me sweat profusely."

"Since then, I have learned to use dichotomy to look at history, to think more about the meaning behind the words of history books, and not to be superstitious or blindly follow the written word."

"Speaking of those prime ministers just now, are their actions really as noble as the history books? I don't think so. Most of them are still acting in a direction that is beneficial to their own interest groups."

"There are usually two kinds of treatment for such a character after death."

"One is that the later emperors put them on the altar, which means that it is right for Lao Tzu to be aggrieved under his hands. The emperor is also a human being and cannot fight with gods. Yi Yin, Duke Zhou, and Zhuge Liang are treated like this."

"Of course, there are also factors of literati from later generations who cheered and cheered. If literati can achieve the level of ability to abolish and establish emperors, it is of course very cool, so it must be rhythmic to wash everyone's heads, but have you considered the feelings of the emperor? ?”

"So such civil servants may have another kind of treatment, that is, the future emperors will start to liquidate after they take power. Ouch, the God of Plague is finally gone, I can finally walk under the sun, and now there are no shadows on my head. Come on Come on, the accounts of that year are settled, and I will not let your DNA be wiped out from this world. Huo Guang, Zhang Juzheng is treated like this."

"Jiang Ziya is actually not much better. Where is the fiefdom after the destruction of the Shang? Qi! It's all at the seaside! To put it another way, can it be understood that you can roll as far as I can?"

"So no matter whether they are promoted to the altar or fall into the dust. In the final analysis, they are actually the same kind of people."

Liu Chengxian was completely brainwashed today. His own idol, even the idol of Shuzhou for a thousand years, was dissected by Li Junge, which is really a bit indescribable.

Li Junge continued: "The reason why Zhuge Liang was later promoted to the altar may be because the officials discovered the public opinion of the people. From this point of view, Zhuge Liang himself is worthy of being a brilliant politician and a brilliant psychological master."

"He returned the power to the emperor before he died, plus he was not extravagant, his descendants knew how to advance and retreat, and both Wu and Wei countries had their own family power. The loyal Fei Yi took over the political inheritance, and he had a great image among the common people. Coupled with the artistic processing of the later literati, and the combination of many factors, this god-making movement was finally formed."

"But Liu Chan can see public opinion clearly and act according to the trend. This alone can show that his political wisdom is at least above the average level. He is really not the kind of day-old kid who makes injustice..."

"Adou really can't afford to support him? Zhuge Liang has been in power for 20 years in Shuhan, but he has also been in charge of Shuhan for 30 years! Although the men used in the later period were more fucked up, if it weren't for Deng Ai, the egg-biter stammerer, he would be unusual. Lu, after playing a cool run, it is estimated that the Shu Han will not perish so soon."

"To sum up, Zhuge Liang is a brilliant politician, a professional legalist, and a qualified military strategist. The interest groups he represents; his control of power is really 'death'; for the local gentry in Yizhou, he is a harsh ice brick."

"The internal conflict between the Shu Han foreigners and the local gentry that has not been resolved, but is increasingly intensified, is also one of the important reasons that later led to the demise of the Shu Han."

"So Zhuge Liang is not a perfect man. Among other things, he played with our family's Ayin's ancestor 'Wuximan' back then. Hey, if the fire was bigger, I might not have a wife... Humph! Just based on this one, it's not too much for me to be a black fan, right?"

The three couldn't help laughing, and Liang Huili held her stomach and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up: "After listening for a long time, I finally understand why your buttocks are sitting so crooked! So the root is here!"
