Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1580 Internal Science Prophecy Eighty-one

   Wei Yan accepted the gift, was this behavior intentional or unintentional?

   This is indeed a problem.

Wei Yan's ability is good, but there must be some flaws in his character, otherwise Liu Bei would not have chosen Wei Yan to be the prefect of Hanzhong, because Liu Bei knew that Wei Yan must be capable, but he must also be a lone minister, whether it is Sichuan or Jingzhou , that side will not tolerate him, and he will not form a clique with anyone...

   But what is certain is that Wei Yan himself is not a stupid person, so Wei Yan showed such behavior at the moment. Although Fei Qian dealt with it before, it does not mean that there will be no follow-up.

  In general, as a superior, what kind of subordinate do you like?

   First of all, it must be able to do things. No one likes to eat and not move. Then, on the premise of being able to do things, of course, choose what you can control...

  This is also human nature.

  Therefore, from this point of view, Wei Yan's behavior seems to be giving Fei Qian the handle. After all, if he really wants to collect property, why is he so eager and undisguised?

   "It's hard to make a decision for a while..." Xu Shu pondered for a while, nodded, and said slowly, "I will pay attention to this matter..."

   Fei Qian also nodded. He deliberately talked about this matter with Xu Shu because Xu Shu and Wei Yan will cooperate with each other for a long period of time in the future, so they must have a bottom line on this matter.

  If Wei Yan did it unintentionally, then it would be relatively simple. Unless Fei Qian does not use Wei Yan, it means that Wei Yan has a weakness in this aspect, and not only Wei Yan himself needs to pay attention to it, but Xu Shu also needs to pay attention to it.

   Conversely, if Wei Yan has intentions, it means that Wei Yan is trying to cover up something, maybe it's ambition, maybe something he did before, or something else, which also needs Xu Shu's attention.

If Wei Yan is really self-polluted, it is undoubtedly the best handle that a leading general can hand over. After all, Wei Yan is still young and controls most of the soldiers in Central Sichuan, but Wei Yan also shows that he is not Xu Shu also needs to pay attention to his sense of security.

  But no matter which one it is, we need to follow up to observe Wei Yan's behavior to make a judgment, and Xu Shu also needs to pay attention.

   In this way, Wei Yan will focus on Sichuan and Shu as the front row, and Xu Shu will watch Wei Yan from behind. Coupled with some other arrangements, Sichuan and Shu can generally ensure stability and peace of mind.

   Feiqian nodded, and said: "As soon as the winter is over, we will transfer the maidservants from the east Guanzhong to Sichuan, and choose a son from a good family in the army to match them to fill the place... As for the daughters of Sichuan and Shu, they will be sent to Guanzhong..."

  Xu Shu said to write it down.

  After exchanging each other in this way, the original connection is basically cut off, which naturally greatly reduces some possible problems.

  Compared with Wei Yan's personal problems, what is more prominent in Sichuan and Shu is how to reduce the power of the Sichuan and Shu gentry and carry out the reform of the overall political system without affecting the overall situation.

  If you want to change, you must know which direction to improve, and you must also know where the key stage nodes are.

Unlike Guanzhong, Sichuan and Shu have not suffered much damage in recent years. Therefore, above the localities, the power of the big surnames in Sichuan and Shu is still very strong. The sub walks away with the army, and it will pop out of the hole like a groundhog again.

   This is a normal gentry operation, and it has been doing this for two or three hundred years.

  It can be said that during the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the lack of power to check and balance the noble families, the emperor had to support his relatives and eunuchs, and even launched party struggles, but still did not achieve good results. This situation lasted until the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and many emperors lived like idiots, not because they didn't want to, but because they had to.

  Of course, it doesn't mean that noble families are bad. At least in terms of cultural inheritance, noble families have indeed made great contributions, although their original intention is to monopolize knowledge.

  General Feiqian's strategy to advance to the West is to change this situation. If you want to suppress these noble families, it is not enough to rely solely on one-sided power. You must use multiple approaches to make it difficult for these noble families...

If it's just the suppression of positions, for these gentry, unless they have the opportunity to enter the court, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the world. Anyway, they need to control the place. This situation is a bit like scalpers. The community specializes in absorbing the extra income generated when the supply exceeds the demand.

  Of course, some people think it’s not a big deal, since it’s just killing anyway, just swiping a big knife and having fun. But in fact, the original intention of checks and balances is to control private desires, to regulate the concept of "family, country, and world", rather than to wipe out the entire class.

Although it is broken, it can be rebuilt, but the cost of breaking is huge, which will lead to huge losses in culture, technology, ideas, etc., and each of these destructions will bring back huge culture, technology, and ideas. The loss is the greatest pain for the entire Chinese civilization.

  So the system that Fei Qian is currently promoting is not breaking, but reforming. Change is like curing a disease, rather than directly killing or burying the patient alive.

No matter what political system, as long as there are classes, there must be vested interests, and the existence of these vested interests will often destroy the original system because of their personal desires, and eventually cause the system to collapse. This kind of thing is very difficult Avoid, just like cancer cells inside the human body, they appear all the time, once the immune system leaks one and a half, and then develop, but among these cancer cells, there is a very interesting part...

"Qiao's family..." Fei Qian pondered for a while, and whispered the last question, "Among Sichuan and Shu, modern Confucian classics are very prosperous... It is inseparable from Dong Qiao and the two. We need to find its flaws and mess up the foundation before we can do it." Long time..."

  Xu Shu nodded slowly, with a serious face.

"For example, it is like a painter who hates pictures and horses, but likes to be ghosts and ghosts. Sincerity is hard to describe, but hypocrisy is endless. You should collect pictures and prophecies. Once you ban them, the nobles and purples will be dazzled, and the classics will be flawless." Fei Qian muttered. He muttered for a while, then shook his head and said, "The strategy of confinement is like Fangchuan. Although the intention is good, it is not advisable..."

  Xu Shu was silent, sighed slightly, and remained silent for a long time. This thing is really a big problem.

  The sentence quoted by Fei Qian was said by Zhang Heng in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In most people's minds, Zhang Heng seems to be a man of science and technology who engages in machinery, and then he buried himself in making something like an armillary sphere, but many people don't know that Zhang Heng not only has achievements in machinery, but also in literature. , For example, "Erjing Fu" and "Sixuan Fu" are his representative works, and there are also some Shangshu that criticize the current malpractice, and "Please Ban the Prophecy" is one of the most famous ones in the world.

  Zhang Heng believes that the eighty-one prophecies and illustrations are fundamentally the source of disaster for the country and should be completely banned. Of course, as soon as these words came out, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and it was still eighty-one hornet's nests.

  "Seven Jingwei", "The Analects of Confucius", "Hetu", "Luoshu" and so on are collectively called "Dhenwei", with a total of 81 articles. Prophecy is God's prophecy, and prophecy is a kind of book that predicts good and bad luck, such as Heluo, and weft is a tributary of Jing, which extends to side meanings. combination of righteousness.

  The founder of the theory of prophecy and weft is naturally the famous Dong Zhongshu.

   Is there a sense of heaven and man? How can it work without a sense of mystery?

Later, in "Baihu Tongyi", the status of Chenwei was fully established, allowing Chenwei to quickly integrate with modern and ancient Chinese classics, and when citing classics, if there are classics and latitudes, it is usually quoted first, and then Quoting scriptures. Prophecy has become the source of determining state affairs. All differences in scriptures, even the country's rites and music system, and conquest wars must be decided by prophecy, and prophecy decides all disputes and indecision.

  Chenwei is respected as the secret scriptures, the secret scriptures of Confucius, made by Han Chi, and named Nei Xue, which is the heart of Confucius, the essence of Confucianism, and has authentic authority. When it came to Emperor Guangwu, he even announced it to the world with pictures and prophecies. Under his strong advocacy, many Confucian scholars rushed to follow, talked about weihou, and made lies and pictures of prophecies. ", internal and external art, inexhaustible", this has become the common fashion and characteristics of the children of the gentry in the Han Dynasty, especially the modern Confucianists, just like in a certain period of time in later generations, commodities that do not have a foreign name feel that they are soiled She's a scumbag, and she's too embarrassed to say hello to people.

   For a time, the study of prophecy and taboo was in full swing, and it was very popular for a while, and it has not declined until now.

At the beginning, the Confucianists were very happy with the weapon of prophecy. It was like cheating. They overthrew the Legalists, killed the Huang Lao, and wiped out the alchemists and the Mohists by the way. They also put on a mysterious outer robe. There are plans for everything, and the final interpretation is in hand, and the world can run rampant.

This is the fundamental reason why Fei Qian used some auspicious signs for welfare over and over again. Even though many people know what this **** auspiciousness is all about, they still pinch their noses haha Hehe recognized it, because at the moment, Chenwei still occupies a large mainstream level of consciousness.

  The attitude towards poking wei and the level of mastering the knowledge of divining wei have long been an indicator of the children of the Han Dynasty, and this indicator can even affect their position in the imperial court.

Jinwen Confucianism and Chenwei have almost merged into one. All the masters and scholars of Jinwen Confucianism are masters of Divination, while ancient Chinese Confucianism focuses on the exegesis of chapters and sentences, interpreting the meaning of classics and history, and essentially rejects Chenwei. vehement criticism and denunciation.

  At the same time, it needs to be emphasized that it is not that the modern text is bad, but the ancient text is good, and vice versa. It is just that the demand has changed due to the development of the times.

At the earliest time, there were only ancient Chinese classics, and these classics were obscure and difficult to understand, and even lacked words and characters due to inheritance reasons. Therefore, Confucianism wanted to strengthen itself and overthrow competitors. He made his own, and invented many things, and Chenwei is a typical representative of them.

At that time, when the overall cultural level was not high, the Jinwen Confucianism, which was comparatively more popular and easy to understand, became the standard for the Han Dynasty to govern civil affairs. Changes in the sky, using the "Spring and Autumn" to judge cases, and "Poetry" as a remonstrance, etc., the early Jinwen Confucianism has a huge role in promoting not only the Han Dynasty, but also the development of the entire Chinese civilization. The study of ancient Chinese classics is far from being able to do this.

  However, with the development of time, Jinwen Confucianism based on Chenwei began to deform. Whenever disasters and wars occur, the emperor and ministers do not first consider how to solve the crisis and protect the country and the people, but deceive the people with the words of prophecy, deceive themselves and others, and finally lead to more and more disasters and the decline of the country. But in the army, every time there is a war, instead of training the armaments to actively fight, they first use the prophecy to predict the outcome, and the result is naturally predictable.

   "Jiazhi Guangwu thrives on prophecy..." Fei Qian shook his head, and continued, "Hetu's red talisman is here to compete for the world's deer, so even if the capital is moved to Luoyang and the school is built again, the prophecy will not be eliminated..."

  Xu Shu nodded and said: "Guangwu's eighty-one plan is also a helpless move... as everyone knows, if this happens, the world will be chaotic, and prophecy will inevitably spread everywhere..."

  After Emperor Guangwu ruled the world, he learned from the pain, and immediately announced the prophecies in the world, and made the eighty-one chapters of the prophecies official as the final version. On the one hand, it maintains the dignity of Chenwei and enhances the supremacy of Chenwei in the great Han Dynasty. On the other hand, it also prevents traitors from plotting to recreate Chenwei to disrupt the country and even threaten the stability of the country.

   Ran and eggs.

  For example, in the recent Yellow Turban Rebellion, the slogan resounding all over the world is actually a fabricated prophecy. There are also "representatives of the Han Dynasty", who did not know how many people were brought into the ditch.

   Therefore, Fei Qian had to guard against it.

Especially in Sichuan and Shu at the moment, there are many people like Qiao Bing who use prophecy as a guise. At present, Fei Qian is powerful, and with soldiers and horses under the city, he is naturally honest, but if Fei Qian left Sichuan and Shu, plus The front line is tight or something, and then these guys also come up with a prophecy, which is quite not fun.

  The superficial method is naturally like Qin Shihuang's way of catching one and killing one, and it will naturally stop for a while, but in fact, doing so will not solve many problems, and will even cause more conflicts.

"Qingyang Si can only be completed in March..." Fei Qian tapped on the table lightly, showing a hint of a smile, and said: "A certain plan is to build a new prophecy palace on the side of Qingyang Si, set up eighty-one pictures, and collect Qiao His family sacrificed wine for his palace and set up prophecy..."

  Xu Shu was taken aback for a moment, then understood immediately, and said, "My lord, this strategy is very clever! I will leave this matter to someone!"

  The two looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

  Three days later, there were disciples from Sichuan and Sichuan who went to the school, saying that Guangwu's Eighty-one Internal Medicine had been passed down to this day, and there were many corrections.

Anyway, it was just before the New Year, and most people were at the stage of doing nothing at home, so this news spread very quickly, and in addition, the atmosphere of prophecy in Sichuan and Shu was very strong, so more and more people joined in In the process of such a debate, together with the Daju Iron Mine, it became the two biggest and most lively events in Sichuan and Sichuan at the end of Yanping's four years.
