Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 355 A hundred schools of thought contend, one flower blooms alone

Changle Palace.

Liu Heng listened to what happened in the imperial academy, and pondered slightly: "Ah Jing, I have always been curious, unless the high-ranking officials are rich in salary, what do these high-ranking scholars really want?"

Scholars with high morals, noble conduct, and profound knowledge are called Gaoshi, which roughly means the same as the Great Confucianism in Confucianism. It is a term that can be used in all schools of thought.

Luo Jing pondered for a while after hearing the words: "I think these people want to build an ideal country.

Confucianism wants to establish a kingly country where there is no regret for life and death, and the world is in harmony. Legalism wants to build a country where the monarch is one and the world is safe. Even Huang Lao wants to build a peaceful country where chickens and dogs don't know each other.

Under the big goal, each of these schools has its own means. For example, Meng Ru believes that if the monarch and his subjects respect each other, the monarch will be wise, and the subjects will be virtuous. This theory is applied in all societies. relationship.

The administration of officials will be clear, and mergers will disappear. Once these two points disappear, as long as the land is distributed according to one hundred mu per household, the world will be peaceful.

The same is true for the Spring and Autumn Confucianism and so on. Among their thick scriptures, they are all about how to build an ideal country.

Many of them are even described directly according to the situation of Luo State in the past, and many people want to build the big man into a version of Luo State that will benefit Zhuxia. "

Liu Heng frowned slightly and shook his head and said, "I don't think it can be done. In this lifetime, I will do my best to prevent the big men from being displaced everywhere and the people from starving to death on a large scale."

Luo Jing also nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, although the ancestor Minggong described the king's way, but the destruction of the Luo Kingdom shows that at least for now, this road is not feasible.

But after all, you have to choose some doctrines to govern the country. "

"Yes, to choose some theories to govern the country, what does the world need today? What do I need?"

A hundred schools of thought contend, and a hundred flowers bloom together.

Easier said than done.

In a huge centralized empire, the ruling policy must be consistent, at least it cannot be changed overnight.

In many cases, ruling ideas cannot coexist. Just like Huang Lao and Confucianism, we cannot have both a big government and a small government.

"The insidious techniques of the Legalists are difficult to be considered elegant, and cannot be used as classics for your majesty to preach enlightenment to his subjects.

Huang Lao's technique has been practiced for decades, but its disadvantages have gradually appeared, and it is time to abandon it.

The Mohists pay attention to practicality, and they will be needed in the future to reclaim arable land, build water conservancy, and even improve farm tools and manufacture weapons. "

Liu Heng pondered and said: "That means only Confucianism is left. Jia Qing is a student of Confucianism. It is true that he has a noble character and outstanding talent. However, there are many factions of Confucianism, such as "Mencius", "Luogong Spring and Autumn", and "Poetry". , "Zhou Li", "Book", and even "Yi", "Xunzi", etc., which one should I use?"

In Taixue, Confucian doctors occupy half of the country, because of the fine tradition of Confucianism, Confucianism has two magic weapons, the first is to be good at learning from other people's progress and then change their appearance, and the second is to attach great importance to education, even educating children is more important than being an official important.

The Qin Dynasty used the Legalists of the Jin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty mainly used the Huang Lao to recuperate, and many Confucian children became officials, but the Confucian thought of governing the country has never been used.

Confucians are used to this kind of situation. Great Confucianists uphold Confucius’ thoughts. If they are not doing well in politics, they will spread their ideas, bow their heads, and wait for the right time. On the vast land of Shandong, private schools are opened everywhere. A large number of outstanding talents have invested Under the command of Confucianism.

Jia Yi is a typical representative of them. He has already sat in the high position of the Sangong, and when the time comes, he starts to promote the ideal of Confucianism.

Liu Heng asked again: "If you choose a certain school of thought, what about the other schools? Without the support of the court, I am afraid that they will soon decline."

Luo Jing said: "Just let them develop freely, don't block their way to become officials, they will naturally survive.

Over the past few decades, Huang Lao has been used to govern the country, but there are also many Confucian and Legalists who have become officials. The imperial court formulates major policies, and officials are willing to follow them, so they use them.

It is very necessary for a hundred schools of thought to contend, which is the reason why Taixue should set up thirteen classics, not just one family of classics.

If the school of thought chosen by His Majesty is not suitable for the situation of the great Han in the future, then just choose other schools of thought from Taixue. "

Liu Heng kept pacing and thinking in the hall. He was always thinking about what he should do for the world of the great man. He was not simply being the master of success. That was not what his predecessors expected of him.

Not long after, the ban issued a decree to summon Confucian doctors of Confucian classics into the palace, and the emperor wanted to inquire them personally. Once this decree was announced, the expressions of the rest of the families changed drastically. They understood that the emperor had made a choice, especially the Huang-Lao Taoists. It is like mourning a concubine.

But the forbidden government quickly decreed, "Please also invite the doctors from all families to study the classics in Taixue quietly. Your Majesty will still have great use for you."

The emperor's attitude raised hope in these people's hearts. At least they didn't kill them all, cut off the orthodoxy, and didn't have to return to Shandong in despair, or even took refuge in Zhaocheng.

After more than a dozen families of Confucianism governing different scriptures entered the palace, they saw the emperor who looked quite young. Luo Jing, the Taixue sacrificial wine, and Jia Yi, the imperial historian, accompanied the emperor.

After greeting each other, Liu Heng immediately asked the question he was most concerned about, "You are all knowledgeable people, I want to know, what does a big man need today?"

It was the most fundamental problem at first, which made the families a little unexpected, but this was the reason why they came here, to sell their own ideas of governing the country to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing in the world is unification!"

A loud voice sounded, Liu Heng's eyes lit up, and Luo Jing said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you are a doctor who cured the "Luo Palace Spring and Autumn: Zunwang" scripture."

"Luogong Spring and Autumn" has two chapters, "Zhizheng" and "Zunwang".

It can be said that he danced with shackles on "Luo Palace Spring and Autumn Period", because the Luo family is not only in the world, but also has a high authority and is the top academic school.

Then when expounding the ideas in it, you can't make up random things, but really try to figure out the meaning in it.

In other words, it is too difficult to figure out what idea Rockwell wants to appear in the world.

"Respecting the King" is much better, because the Confucian family's power is not good, and although they have a high status among Confucianism, there are still many who can be compared with it.

However, "Zun Wang" has a great weakness.

That is, "Zun Wang" was written by Confucius after thinking about "Government". It is a kind of thinking about Luo Minggong's thoughts, so he may be violently beaten by Luo's classics at any time.

Liu Heng asked, "Doctor, please speak."

"The sages made the Spring and Autumn Period. Since ancient times, in the peaceful world, all the emperors have virtues and order them."

"King Su made rites and music, the princes obeyed the emperor's orders, did not attack each other, and united in the face of barbarians. This is the reason for the prosperity of the state and Zhou.

King Xi's virtue began to deteriorate, so heaven took away his power, and the princes were unwilling to worship him and wanted to provoke him, so Bangzhou became chaotic.

It was not until Duke Huan of Qi became the overlord, and all the princes in the world acted according to his will, that the Xias settled down again, and Confucius praised him and Guanzi.

Now the world has been in chaos for hundreds of years, until Emperor Taizu Gao Ding Ding Yu, Kyushu was unified.

But under the unified system, there are still cracks. The order of the emperor cannot be carried out among the countries, so there are chaos among the kingdoms. When Tie En split the country, the discord gradually disappeared.

The laws of the world should change, and the thoughts of the world should change.

Your Majesty, this is the mission entrusted to you by God.

At this time, if we can no longer unify the world and make the whole country bathe in the emperor's kindness, when will we have to wait?

A peaceful world is about to appear, and the sage king will come to the world. This is the answer given by the sages. Who is the sage king? "

He stared at Liu Heng with burning eyes. Liu Heng was full of energy, with his head held high, and he felt that what his uncle said back then was in line, "I am the holy king who wants to create peace."

The sound of heavy worship sounded, "You are the holy king who created peace, and I congratulate the world."

Admonishing the king is a question of fooling around.

Of course, Liu Heng would not be so simple and foolish, but these words really suit his appetite, and it gave him a very good excuse. Today's world needs to be restructured, so find such a person who is willing to cooperate with his strategic actions The school of thought is a very crucial thing.

"What you said is very reasonable. In the past, when King Luowen was still alive, he often told me that in the future, we will create the rule of the holy king and bring about peace. I deeply believe it."

Liu Heng's words made the doctor of Confucianism who fell on the ground very happy, knowing that this was the emperor's approval of his theory.

This vein is about to prosper!

----

The rites and music established by Su Wang and Luo's promotion of Su Wang's deification established the unshakable foundation of the Zhuxia civilization, but the interior decoration of the Zhuxia Dynasty left a lot of blanks.

When the historical process came to Emperor Hanwen, the biggest problem he faced was how to shape the ideology of the entire Han Dynasty to adapt to the internal and external conditions that the Han Dynasty faced, that is, the prerequisites for great unification were basically completed. In the process of integrating the world, what kind of spirit should be injected into the Han Dynasty, this is what Emperor Hanwen needs to consider.

The author writes this paragraph with infinite joy and pride. When history entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, Emperor Hanwen made the most correct choice for the nation, that is, to choose a kind of thought to stabilize the entire dynasty and bridge the gap since the era of great division. difference.

But at the same time, he tried his best to maintain the vitality of other schools of thought, and even set aside a certain number of official positions for these dissident ideas to ensure their continued existence.

In the era of the 11th century AD, it is difficult to imagine such progressive thinking in a feudal ruler, but this is the reality! ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
