Start having a baby!I dressed as the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

"Dong Zhongshu?" Wang Quan looked at the slips, "Isn't he a doctor of Confucianism in the Academy? He also participated in policy discussions? This old master."

Since Emperor Wen, he has conducted extensive study tours and set up academies to teach the Analects of Confucius, the Classic of Filial Piety, Mencius, Erya, and Shangshu.

Dong Zhongshu was a doctor of Confucianism during the reign of Emperor Jing. He did a lot of research on the Spring and Autumn Annals and wrote "Spring and Autumn Fan Lu" and other books. He was a famous Confucian scholar.

He set up a teaching platform and hung a curtain in the classroom. He spoke inside the curtain and the students listened outside the curtain.At the same time, he often asked his favorite disciple Lu Bushu and others to incarnate and teach.Many people have studied with him for many years without even meeting him.Some of the disciples who were re-incarnated had even heard of his name, but had never seen him in person.

"Confucius said, "Respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance."

"Dong Zhongshu is a mixture of Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, Taoism, and Yin and Yang. Yang is based on Confucian benevolence; Yin is supplemented by Legalist criminal law. He talks about the will of heaven, Yin and Yang, Tao and the Five Elements!"

Wang Quan read Dong Zhongshu's policy theory.

"Only the emperor receives orders from the sky, the world receives orders from the emperor, and a country receives orders from the king. If the emperor obeys the order, then the people will obey the order; if the emperor disobeys the order, the people will have the disobedience. Therefore, it is said: If a person is happy, the people will rely on it. This is also called .”

"This paragraph is good. The emperor is appointed by heaven, and the monarch's power is granted by God. The monarch is the emperor, and the monarch's power is given by heaven." Wang Ao smiled, "When the subjects oppose the emperor, they oppose heaven."

"The great unification of the Spring and Autumn Period is the eternal scripture of heaven and earth, and the universal meaning of ancient and modern times. Today's teachers have different ways, people have different opinions, hundreds of schools have different methods, and different meanings. Therefore, the above can not maintain a unified one; the legal system has changed several times, and the lower level has no clue. Guard. I am foolish enough to think that those who are not in the six arts or the art of Confucius will cut off their way and do not let them advance together. The theory of exorcism of evil will cease, and then the unified system can be unified, the laws can be made clear, and the people will know what to follow."

Wang Quan pondered, "This is to achieve great unification geographically and ideologically..."

Confucius, Mencius and Confucianism did not deliberately emphasize the need to achieve unification, and their ideas are unlikely to achieve unification.They advocate that rulers should treat the people well.Being good to the people can only make them live a happy life, but there is no way to achieve unity.Unification requires war and the elimination of other political forces.Ordinary people will not risk their lives for you and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy bravely just because you are good to them.

Dong Zhongshu integrated Legalist thought.The Legalists implemented severe punishments, clear rewards and punishments, bravely killed the enemy with heavy rewards, and were greedy for life and fearful of death. Only in this way can victory be achieved in the end.Qin State's Shang Yang's Reform was based on this idea, which allowed Qin State to achieve unification.

For an agricultural country like China, unification is more conducive to social stability and the development of productivity than division.

Liu Xiaozhu ascended the throne. Although the country was unified in name, there were still many princes; Baiyue and the Xiongnu made trouble from time to time.It is imperative to strengthen centralization of power and fully implement the county system.

Dong Zhongshu advocated "the unity of heaven and man" and "the interaction between heaven and man".

The unity of heaven and man and the connection between heaven and man.It is said that heaven and man are one, and man is a part of heaven. Man can sense heaven, and heaven can sense man.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he rules the people on behalf of Heaven. If the rule is good, Heaven will send down auspicious signs to encourage him. If the Son of Heaven disobeys Heaven's will and acts in the opposite direction, Heaven will cause disasters to condemn and warn.

Dong Zhongshu's "Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Virtues", the three cardinal principles are the king guides the ministers, the father guides the son, and the husband guides the wife.The five constant elements are benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust.

The Three Cardinal Guidelines emphasize the absolute authority of father and son, king and ministers, husband and wife.It emphasizes the power of the monarch over his ministers, the power of the father over his son, the power of the husband over his wife, and conversely, the obligations of ministers to the monarch, the obligations of sons to their fathers, and the obligations of wives to their husbands.

If the king asks his minister to die, he must die.The father allows the son to die, and the son has to die.The husband can divorce his wife, but the wife cannot remarry casually after her husband's death.

This centralized theory integrates the monarch and the father, and integrates loyalty and filial piety.Loyalty to the monarch is equivalent to filial piety to the father.The monarch is equivalent to the father of all people in the world.If you respect the monarch as you respect your father, you will be less likely to rebel and will be more conducive to social stability.

In order to demonstrate the inevitability and rationality of dynastic rule, Dong Zhongshu proposed the theories of "three unifications" and "three righteousnesses".

The "Three Tongs" are the Black Tong, White Tong and Red Tong. The "three positives" are that the Yin month (the first month of the lunar calendar) is the first month of the Xia Dynasty and the beginning of the year; the Chou month (the twelfth month of the lunar calendar) is the beginning of the year of the Shang Dynasty; and the Zi month (the eleventh month of the lunar calendar) is the beginning of the year of the Zhou Dynasty. .The color of Yin month is black, so Xia is of black line, Chou month is of white color, Shang is of white line, Zi month is of red color, and Zhou is of red line.

History follows the "three unifications" and begins again and again.The Han Dynasty followed the Zhou Dynasty, and the Yin month should be regarded as the first month, "correcting the new moon and changing the color".

"Three unifications and three righteousnesses" is a historical cycle theory that emphasizes "governing the past." Every cycle of history is a manifestation of retrospection. "Follow heaven and follow ancient laws", the imperial rule is eternal and inviolable.

In terms of human nature, it is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower, the nature of saints, the nature of middle people and the nature of Douzhuo.The nature of the saint is inherently good, and the nature of Dou Xiao is inherently evil. They are both unchangeable, so they do not need to be regarded as nature.

Only the nature of the people can be transformed into good nature through education and can be called nature.Able to be educated.Although human nature contains the qualities of goodness, it cannot become good without education.

"The king inherits the will of heaven and takes it as his duty to cultivate the people's nature." The mission of the holy king is to "inherit the nature of nature", that is, to educate the people according to the destiny and make them good people.

"Mother, what Dong Zhongshu said is the best policy for the emperor's herdsmen." Liu Xiaozhu said softly to the side as he watched Wang Ao look at her and nod.

The herdsmen of the Son of Heaven are the herdsmen of the emperor.Pastoral means management.From "Guanzi·Ode to the Country":
"Every herdsman who has land should keep guard in the barns at all times. If the country has a lot of wealth, those from far away will come; if the land is raised, the people will stay; if the barns are solid, then they will know the etiquette; if they have enough food and clothing, they will know the honor and disgrace; if the superiors serve When the six dimensions are balanced, the six relatives will be strong. When the four dimensions are expanded, the king's orders will be carried out..."

"Emperor herdsmen" has been misinterpreted by later generations as: the king grazes the people like cattle and sheep, milks them for meat, and exploits them endlessly.

In fact, "shepherding" means management.

There is a saying in the "Tao Te Ching" that "the sage is the one who serves as the shepherd of the world."That is to say, the Holy Lord nurtures and tames the people of the world like a herdsman. The matter of "daitian herdsmen" is absolutely recognized by the rulers and scholar-bureaucrats.And what is the highest realm of herdsmen?It was the king who had a kind heart and allowed the people to breed in abundance so that the feudal lords could have a rich demographic dividend.

In other words, cattle and sheep are "herders" like people. They should also be allowed to feel the richness of water and grass, have a sense of happiness and gain, support the "herders", and become obedient people who abide by their laws.

As a prominent Confucian, Dong Zhongshu's theory is the most complete explanation of "the emperor's herdsmen" and is also the most suitable for Wang Ao's wishes.

"Che'er, order the four auxiliary ministers to go to the greenhouse hall to discuss matters."

Assistant ministers: Dou Ying, Marquis of Wei Qi, Wei Wan, Marquis of Jianling, Tian Fu, Marquis of Wu'an, and Zhidu, Marquis of Jingqing.

Zhidu had just returned to Beijing from the Huns in the north for a few days.He had a frontier-looking face and sat upright, with murderous aura and coldness all over his body.

Wei Wan was calm and silent, gentle and gentle, and always steady, making him as steady as an old dog.Dou Ying also sat upright, holding tea and sipping with his head down, observing the people around him with his eyes.

Only Tian Fu, with lively eyebrows and twitching eyes, looked at the monarch and his ministers.Perhaps he felt that others were ministers under the authority of the emperor.And he is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager and the uncle of the Emperor.Among the ministers, no one has a more respected position than him!

"Dear dear friends, since the founding of the country, the Han Dynasty has always respected Huang Lao and remained quiet and inactive. The violent Qin Dynasty died due to harsh governance, and I, the Han Dynasty, replaced it. The current regulations were inherited by the Han Dynasty from Qin Dynasty, and it was difficult for the world to obey. The new emperor ascended the throne and sought virtue. If you are thirsty, I will get a letter from the virtuous people in the world. Now I invite you all to discuss the new policy and govern the world together." Wang Quan said, looking at everyone.

"The Han family created everything first, and barbarians invaded China. If I don't change the system, future generations will not be able to do it." Liu Che's eyes were firm, and his childish face was domineering. "I asked Dong Zhongshu three times about three strategies. Dong Aiqing wrote in "Spring and Autumn Period" "Spring and Autumn Fanlu" written by "Gongyang Zhuan" is dedicated to me."

"Dong Zhongshu said: After the Qin Dynasty, the present Han Dynasty is like a wall of rotten wood and dung. Even if you want to manage it well, you can't do anything about it. When the law comes out, treachery arises, and when you give the order, it is deceitful. It is like using soup to stop boiling and holding firewood to put out a fire. It’s even more useless. What do you think?”

"The Han Dynasty inherited the system of the Qin Dynasty and used the Zhuanxu calendar, with October as the beginning of the year. The monarch's power was granted by heaven, and the heavenly principles followed the "three unifications and three righteousnesses", and the cycle began again and again. The Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty followed the Zhou Dynasty, and the Yin month should be the first month and the beginning of the year; It belongs to the black tradition and is still black. "Correcting Shuo and changing color" started from me."

Liu Che turned his attention to Wei Wan, the Taifu and Right Prime Minister.Wei Wan lowered his head and listened carefully.

"Today's teachers have different ways, people have different opinions, hundreds of schools have different methods, and the meanings are different, so the above can't be unified; the legal system has changed several times, and the lower ones don't know what to keep. Dong Zhongshu said: All those who are not in the six arts and the art of Confucius are all Cut off their path and don’t let them advance together.”

Liu Che turned his face, looked at his mother and nodded, and then said to his ministers, "Each of the hundreds of schools of thought has its own opinions. Each king and minister has his own standards. I want to establish the six arts of Confucianism, but official education will not establish the hundreds of schools of thought. From then on, the thoughts and standards will be unified." . Just like cars running on the same track, books running on the same text."

"I have established the "Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Virtues" to serve as the guideline for rulers, ministers and people to follow and the virtues they respect. The Three Cardinal Guidelines: the ruler guides his ministers, the father guides his son, and the husband guides his wife. The Five Constant Guidelines: benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and trustworthiness."

"To appoint officials according to their talents, and to position them after recording their virtues will lead to a different approach to integrity and shame, and a different approach to virtuous and unworthy officials. When I look at recruiting and recommending virtuous people, I should make it a system. Good accumulation will lead to fame, and virtue will lead to dignity."

"In my humble opinion, we should depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism!" Taiwei Tian Fu hurriedly answered, "Dong Zhongshu's "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man", I also had feelings after reading it. My emperor is the emperor, and heaven and man are one. On behalf of the herdsmen of Heaven. Should be enshrined in Zen and build Mingtang..."

"I second the proposal!" Dou Ying, the prime minister of Zuo, also commented. He praised enthusiastically, "The "Six Arts of a Gentleman" - etiquette, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and numeracy, are the same as the "Six Classics of Confucianism" - "Poetry" and "Shu" "Li", "Yi", "Music" and "Spring and Autumn" should be vigorously advocated and can be made the state religion!"

Although he knew that Confucianism was relatively popular among scholar-bureaucrats, Wang Quan was still surprised.

Tian Fu's family was mainly educated in Confucianism, because Changling Tianfu was originally a nobleman of Qi State.Qidi is the hometown of Confucius and the place where Confucianism flourished.The books in his home are all Confucian classics.

Ancient books were all bamboo slips, which were difficult to obtain. Therefore, only noble scholar-bureaucrats had the financial resources and houses to collect books, so they could read and write.

And Dou Ying, this clan nephew who was deeply loved and trusted by Empress Dowager Dou, should be a supporter of Huang Lao's technique!Empress Dowager Dou regarded the art of Huang and Lao as a grand ceremony for governing the country and judging the virtuous and foolish. She was deceived by Dou Ying, a Confucian fanatic?Is Empress Dowager Dou blind and blind?Or did Dou Ying change his flag quickly?
Wang Quan couldn't help but sigh, Dou Ying was really flattering everyone.Seeing that the new emperor was fond of Confucianism, he immediately changed his family!

With a smile on his face, Dou Ying respectfully raised his hand to the right Prime Minister Wei Wan: "What do you think, Prime Minister Wei?"

Wei Wan nodded: "Both Prime Minister Dou and Taiwei Tian have learned the essence of Confucianism." His steady eyes met Wang Da's inspection.

"Dong Zhongshu said: Teachers have different ways, people have different opinions, hundreds of schools of thought have different methods, and their meanings are different, so there is no way for the above to maintain unity; the legal system has changed several times, and the lower ones don't know what to keep. Only by unified thoughts and unified standards can the upper and lower levels be consistent. Minister. I think that the only way to make the Han family orthodox is to establish an authentic sect!"

After Wei Wan finished speaking, he smiled at his emperor's student, like a loyal old man looking at his beloved child.

Wei Wan also believed in Confucianism.Wang Quan knew it when he taught Liu Xiaozhu to respect "the king of heaven and earth, his master".

As for Zhidu, he was loyal to the emperor. He was the only one who kept his head straight and entrusted his property and life to the emperor.

"In this case, all your beloved ministers will convene the ministers to discuss the arrangements! During the court meeting, I will see all your beloved ministers to report." Liu Xiaozhu's eyes were bright, and he nodded and smiled at a few people with great ambition.

After the others had retreated, Liu Xiaozhu eagerly expressed his merits to his mother: "Queen, my child must show off his talents and establish virtues for the Han family!"

Wang Ao looked at his son lovingly: "Okay! This is the true god of the sun, the hero of a generation. But... you can't depose hundreds of families..."

"What does the Queen mean?" Liu Xiaozhu stared at the Queen with clear eyes.

"If you use the Tao, you will win. What is the Tao? Tao is a life of Tai Chi, and the two parts of yin and yang are divided into three..."

In Wang Quan's view, Tao generates one, the longitude line; two, the latitude line; two, the altitude line; three, the altitude line; three, all things. The three-dimensional cross axis composed of these three lines can express all points in space.

The so-called Tao is the most simple, follow the rules of heaven, do things according to the rules, and follow the trend.

Confucianism is responsible for culture and education, educating the people and unifying thought.Like a gorgeous coat, it conforms to human nature and promotes benevolence, justice and morality.It is the cultivation of the outlook on life, values ​​and world view of modern society.

Legalism established systems and promoted economy.It is the foundation for the construction of the rule of law in later generations and the red line that demarcates morality and etiquette.It is a supplement to the rule of kings and men, and it is also a manifestation of social fairness and justice.

Military strategist, national defense, science and technology.Later generations will say, "The truth lies within the range of the cannonball."Without strong military strength and technology to support the development of national strength, it can only be a lamb to be slaughtered.

Physician, division of medical care, health.Doctors are related to people's health, life safety, and population growth.It is the foundation of national peace and prosperity.

Confucianism and Legalism are the four directions, and Tao is the center.If Yi is not at home, he is in the Tao. If Yi is not at home, he is in the Tao. If Mo is not at home, he is in the army.

"To establish Taixue, just respect Confucianism, and don't suppress hundreds of schools of thought." Wang Quan said softly, "This family and that family are all usable families, and practicality comes first..."

While he was talking, Zhang Qian, the lieutenant in charge, hurried over with a report: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother! The governor of Hezhong County is reporting urgently! There is a fire in the houses of Hezhong County, affecting thousands of families!"
