Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 512 If you want to learn how to do things, you must first learn to read history (fourth update)

"This" Liu Chan looked embarrassed at this time. It wasn't that he didn't know the answer, but that he hadn't learned it yet.

"The previous enlightenment was to let the prince see the world and know the importance of virtue, but if the prince wants to take over and govern the people under the lord in the future.

Then the first thing the prince must learn is history! "

"Read history?"

"Of course, this history book is not just a simple evaluation, but a record of a person's actions in his life and everything he has done in his life.

Many of these things seem to us now to be full of errors, and many of them have taught us a lot.

In the final analysis, history books are the experiences of our predecessors. All we can walk in our lives is our own life, while reading history allows us to read all the lives of our ancestors.

This kind of experience cannot be given to the prince by any classics. "

"That"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Liang will naturally take the Crown Prince to take a look at our Han Dynasty's past of hundreds of years." Zhuge Liang chuckled before taking out part of the "Book of Han" written by Ban Gu from the bag beside him. .

"Thank you sir."

"Back then, Ban Gu once said that as great as Emperor Wu's talents were, even though they were poems, how could they be compared to what they were described in books?
Such an evaluation is naturally very high, but many people have criticized what I, Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, did.

For example, deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism.

In recent years, starting from Jingzhou where Liu Jingsheng was in charge, Xuanfeng has continued to prevail. To explain Confucianism with Taoism is to find the innate gap in Confucianism and Taoism.

Only by reading history can we understand why we think this way. "

"Yes." Liu Chan nodded and opened the "Book of Han". He just glanced at it and then raised his head, "I will pay back your teacher's teachings."

There are too many words, I’m sleepy!

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan, who looked like he was studying. He already knew why he was doing this, and he couldn't help but twitch his face.

I think it's time for Dong He's children to come over and get to know Liu Chan.

I don’t know how I learned it after so many years of study!

However, I feel deeply in my heart that what should be taught still needs to be taught.

"If we only look at the matter of deposing hundreds of schools of thought to only respect Confucianism, perhaps we can say that we are right and wrong, but at that time it was also the last resort of Emperor Xiaowu.

Although I, the Han Dynasty, follow the Qin system, in order to avoid the old troubles of Qin after my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, unified the world, I focused on Huairou in various places.

That is to say, the earliest Taoism of our Han Dynasty ruled by doing nothing.

Although there are many advantages in this way, the biggest disaster under the rule of inaction is gradually revealed, that is, the endless struggle for power.

At the same time, due to the growing ambitions of local tycoons, a large amount of land was transferred from the hands of the people to their own homes, turning the people into their tenant farmers and even slaves.

Among the Han people, the poor became poorer and the rich became richer.

In addition, there were meritorious officials in the court who were arrogant and favored, the Queen Mother Dou also ruled exclusively in the harem, there were vassal states outside, and the Huns were also plagued by the Huns in the border areas.

Under such a situation, Emperor Xiaowu had no choice but to completely change it.

To complete such a reform, we need not only great talents and strategies, but also the support of more people, the control of rights and the following of the people.

Therefore, Dong Gong Zhongshu, the master of Gongyang, offered the three strategies of heaven and man.

Emperor Xiaowu was overjoyed.

As for why the prince is considered to have lived in Chengdu, Tianshi said, "I understand!" "Liu Chan is not stupid. Although he is still young, he still understands the influence of Tianshi Tao in Yizhou. The people believe in ghosts and gods more than the imperial decrees.

“The third strategy among the three strategies of heaven and man is particularly important, and it is also the reason why Emperor Xiaowu was impressed.

Anyone who is not in the six arts or the art of Confucius must reject his method and do not let them advance together.

The theory of exterminating evil will cease, then unified disciplines will be unified, and the law will be clear and the people will know what to follow!

It was this idea that moved Emperor Xiaowu, and he came up with the idea of ​​deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism.

Restricting the subjects with Confucian ethics and moral conduct, and at the same time being ordered by heaven, which cannot be violated, makes oneself the only standard followed by the subjects.

But Your Majesty, do you really think that after deposing hundreds of schools of thought to only respect Confucianism, Emperor Xiaowu really took a fancy to Confucianism? "

"This is the only one"

"Although the prince has learned many Confucian classics, he must not forget that even Emperor Xiaowu, who deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, still put Legalism first in his actions.

The Legalists were also favored by Liang Zhi, and even Xianhe and even Xiaozhi were favored by the Legalists.

Just because the biggest characteristic of this Legalism is that it is pragmatic and has extremely quick results!

The Legalists said that in addition to putting the emperor first, they also required the subjects and even the emperor to enforce the law impartially without favoritism.

It's just that the legalists need a well-respected person to set an example for the world. "

"Jun Zhaoping?" Liu Chan still knew about this, "Back then, Jun Zhaoping was the son of Emperor Xiaowu's sister, Princess Longlu, and the husband of Emperor Xiaowu's Princess Yi'an.

It can be said that he has a very high reputation and a very high status. "

"What the son said is very true, when Emperor Xiaowu forcibly killed Lord Zhaoping, this completely opened the door to my great Han Confucianism, and since then there is no obstacle in the way of rectifying the administration of officials and pacifying the world.

Confucianism and Legalism did not mean that Legalism was covered with Confucianism.

Instead, he uses Confucianism to make his subjects think alike and prepare him for his future actions.

At the same time, strict punishments and laws were used to restrain the behavior between the people and officials and generals, and morality and law went hand in hand.

Here is the relationship between pragmatism and virtue.

On the other hand, it is because I, a big man, need to resume production, so I manage farming with virtue.

He successively migrated to the Eastern wealthy families, attacked local powerful people, confiscated the land of treacherous merchants, reclaimed wasteland, etc.

But the other side of governing agriculture with virtue is that merchants are good at selling high and buying low, and their cunning heart is prevalent, so business is governed by law.

The official management of salt and iron was brought back to the imperial court, including transportation and local prices. The imperial court directly controlled the prices of the Han Dynasty. This is actually the case with the official markets and inns under the lord's rule.

Later, the private coinage during the reign of Emperors Wen and Jing was abolished and five baht coins were minted uniformly by the government.
This is also in Confucianism and Dharma. "

Liu Chan nodded repeatedly, but at this moment he suddenly interrupted Zhuge Liang's words.

"Then Emperor Xiaowu also said that money should be spent to atone for sins. Why is this?"

"." Kong Ming was stunned by Liu Chan for the first time, but after a brief pause, he spoke frankly.

"Your Majesty, don't learn this. It's because Emperor Xiaowu was simply too short of money, so he made the wrong move!"

"Lack of money?"

"The prince can also be understood as... poor and crazy!"
