The day Zhang Qian returned to Chang'an, it was just an ordinary autumn day for Gillian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In late autumn, the cold and lonely meaning is getting stronger and stronger day by day.

The brilliant and enthusiastic begonias blooming in the courtyard are also showing a decline, and the branches and leaves have shown a little yellow.

But the layers of flowers and waves are still smiling to themselves.

Gillian leaned against the window and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The most delicate is also this flower, and the most strong is still this flower.

Just like the current Yuan Xuan who hangs his wrist in front of the small bookcase, and his waist is straight to learn words.

She had been practicing her words for an hour without distraction, during which she had no distractions, let alone being lazy.

Gillian was amazed when she looked at it, she knew that she never had the perseverance of Yuan Xuan when she was young.

She used to think that Yuan Xuan was used to being pampered, and she couldn't bear hardship.

But after Yuan Hui saw Liu Che proudly praising her, he refused to disappoint him again.

Slowly, she also experienced the joy of hard study.

Now, like Hui'er, there is no longer a need for people to watch at all times, and they can be very conscious.

Gillian was extremely reluctant and embarrassed to think that she had to practice for half an hour every day.

So he also cheered up, and after dinner every day, he went to the side hall without waiting for Liu Che's urging.

After half a month, even Liu Che praised her for making a lot of progress in calligraphy.

Progressive?

Thinking of this, Gillian looked at the blue sky as blue as the blue sea with a smile, Liu Che really taught her as a child, thinking that she could be like Yuan Hui if she received a few words of praise from him.

The bright white sunlight fell on her face, and the smile in her eyes was even stronger.

The withered yellow leaves in the courtyard spread all over the ground, and a bleak and cold feeling arose.

Fortunately, a few evergreen pines and cypresses under the corridor are still leafy and green.

A ray of sunlight shines through the treetops, shimmering with a blinding white glow among the foliage.

Liu Che looked at the military, government and people's livelihood between the cases, and the two children practiced calligraphy with their wrists hanging in front of the next bookcase, and they were extremely quiet.

Occasionally, the wind passes through the hall, stirring up the curtain made of rain brocade and gently swirling, like a wicker on a spring day crossing the lake, swinging a circle of extremely slow ripples.

Gillian closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed the peace and tranquility of this moment.

A poem naturally came to mind, and although it was not a situation, it was extremely appropriate.

"The drizzle and the wind are cold, and the light smoke is sparse and the willows are beautiful.

Entering Huai Qingluo is gradually long.

The snow foam milk flower floats in the afternoon cup, and the artemisia shoots try the spring plate.

The taste of the world is refreshing. ”

A cup of tea with young knotweed sprouts and artemisia shoots tastes excellent.

At lunchtime, there happened to be sour bamboo shoots stewed duck and sour bamboo shoots fish head soup on the dining table, which was extremely fragrant and sour, and the two children loved it.

Gillian misses the taste of spring vegetables even more, especially wild vegetables with natural fragrances such as shepherd's cabbage and toon, which only occur in spring, and only eat fresh ones in spring.

After taking a nap, he got up, and Liu Che also dealt with most of the political affairs at hand, and there were no courtiers to meet him for a while, so he taught the children the Book of Poetry.

Liu Che chose the Book of Poetry to enlighten the children, not only because he wanted to build the original aesthetic for them, but also because the "Book of Songs", as the earliest collection of poems, has an influence that transcends time and space and endures.

In the Han Dynasty, the Book of Songs was one of the Six Classics and the Five Classics, and was a must-read classic for Confucianism.

In the past, Huang Laozhi, who advocated the rule of inaction, has long been a thing of the past with the death of the Empress Dowager, and Confucianism has risen, and it will go to the altar, and its status in it has been extremely revered for two thousand years.

I'm afraid that this is something that Confucianism itself can't believe in the book-burning pit Confucianism itself, and Gillian is in it to witness all this, and she feels a lot in her heart.

Especially these days, Liu Che's words made Gillian feel like opening the door to a new world.

He told Gillian that the essence of "burning books and pit Confucianism" is no different from his current exclusive respect for Confucianism, all for the sake of unification.

The long-term stability of the country requires great unification, and the voice of the ruling center needs to be carried out to the bottom.

Therefore, after Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he used the coercive force of the state to implement the same track, the same book, and the same line, but if there is a dispute of ideas, it is impossible to have a conclusion in a short time.

And if a country does not have the ideological values that can dominate the mainstream, it is extremely dangerous.

As the saying goes, the Tao is not the same.

As time goes by, why do you need a strong enemy? Civil strife alone is enough to bring down a mighty empire.

Therefore, Qin Shi Huang had to choose one of the hundred to become the mainstream idea of the empire, but unfortunately, there were not many options left for him, or only one.

Gillian didn't understand, Liu Che glanced at her and patiently explained it to her.

"At that time, only Legalists could compete with Confucianism, and Qin Shi Huang could not choose Confucianism, so he could only choose Legalism."

He looked at the puzzled Gillian and smiled, and the smile sank immediately.

"Confucianism reveres etiquette and music, and advocates the rule of virtue and benevolence, and now it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

However, at that time, the world was initially decided, and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms tried to restore the feudal system with the retro Confucianism of respect, and divided the land and power from Qin Shi Huang, in order to restore the country. ”

A meaningful smile crept up to Liu Che's lips again, "You say, did Qin Shi Huang choose a Confucianist who repented of self-denial or a Legalist who took the law as a teaching?" ”

The answer is undoubted, Qin Shi Huang chose the Legalists to centralize power.

Confucianism, which has become a loser, will naturally be dealt an unprecedented blow, and the burning of books is very cruel and intense, but the effect is obvious.

Confucianism was on the verge of extinction for a time, and Legalism flourished.

And as today's reincarnation, Confucianism began to shine.

Gillian thought that Confucianism was the winner in the end, but it was Legalism that really dominated Liu Che's mouth.

In fact, since the Han Dynasty, successive rulers have pursued "Confucianism".

The emperors used the ideas of Legalism to rule the world, but on the surface they used Confucianism to educate the people.

Liu Che smiled faintly when he said this, "Ying Zheng is still a little stupid, saying that he will use whichever one is used, but he forgot that this was originally used for use, why should he establish its exclusive respect?" ”

Gillian looked at him in amazement, such a concept was really deafening to her.

Immediately laughed again, the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea, and he didn't know it today.

She couldn't help but think again, if Qin Shi Huang could think of the trick of Confucianism, would it not happen to burn books and pit Confucianism?

Could it be that the life span of the Qin Dynasty will be longer?

Could it be that even the outcome of the Chu-Han struggle is not certain?

Thinking about it further, will neither she nor Liu Che appear?

The so-called pulling a whole body, that's it.

A gust of wind came, blowing the wind chimes under the eaves, accompanied by the sweet and glutinous recitation of the two children, which was pleasant to the ear.

Gillian sighed lightly, retracted her mind, and listened to the children's immature voices with a smile.

Suddenly, another gust of wind came, accompanied by the sound of clattering horses' hooves.

It was the snow lion who returned, and the eyes of the two children immediately lit up, but they were still afraid of the majesty of their father, and they sat upright without squinting.
