Chapter 26 Dong Zhongshu

A crescent moon hangs obliquely on the high eaves, casting a large shadow of light and shadow within the palace walls, and passing through the bamboo leaves through the carved railings. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The prosperity of Zhu Cui is exhausted, and only the bright moon is expected.

Gillian admired the moon on the watchtower, and the silver-white moonlight was like a light veil like a mist quietly shrouded Weiyang Palace. Glazed mandarin duck tiles, vermilion lacquer big red door, the whole palace is quiet, there is really a kind of solemn and majestic reverberation.

Even if it's her, climb high and look into the distance. Looking at the layers of the Han Palace with no end in sight, I can't help but feel a little arrogant to look down on the world.

She, according to her current status, is a well-deserved mistress of this empire.

However, even Liu Che has not become the emperor who later made all his words into commandments, and the Manchu Dynasty was silent and silent. What's more, what about her, the new queen who has only been promoted for a year?

There are also the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother on it!

The Empress Dowager is a relative, an elder, and a political leader who has influenced the government for decades. She is the stepping stone for Gillian to gain a foothold in the harem, and with her one day, Gillian's status is as stable as a rock, and no one dares to move a single bit. Even if she has been in the palace for three years, she has not had a son and a half daughter, and no one dares to say a word.

But for Liu Che, who is in top of his guns and sharp, he is full of ambition to set this year as Jianyuan. He was the first emperor in history to be named the emperor, and he was determined to be a new monarch who was determined to reform. However, he was helpless to find that his grandmother, who had always been loving, was silently in control of the actual overall situation of the government, which really made him a little unable to stretch his fists and feet, and a little restrained.

Shiqing Shilu's system plus Xiao Gui Cao Sui', who ruled by inaction, there were no more vacancies left in the imperial court. As a result, the Empress Dowager sent a list of appointments and dismissals, and the Minister of Gu Ming, Dou Ying, sent another list of guarantees, and Tian Wei represented that the Empress Dowager also had to install people. ,

A court meeting, full of not his courtiers.

This emperor is really a little aggrieved. He needs his own talents, and he needs talents who are as determined to leave a name in history as he is.

But on the contrary, my grandmother did not interfere in politics on the surface. What's more, Emperor Jing's edict told him to consult the Empress Dowager more in case of trouble.

Wei Juan and Wang Zang, these are the two teachers selected by Emperor Jing for him, the backbone of Confucianism and Taoism. And the royal road of the country is now the quiet and inactive way of Huang Lao, the empress dowager was born in poverty, and she really starved. She understands the life of the people, so when Emperor Wen was Emperor, she and Emperor Wen pursued frugality together, ruling the world to "rule by doing nothing" and "rest with the people". Wenjingzhizhi: "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have made great contributions.

The Empress Dowager was disgusted with bureaucratic Confucianism and believed in Huang Laoshu, who had a common mind, and in order to cater to her preferences, the clan surnamed Dou all took "Lao Tzu" as a required reading, and Emperor Jing never dared to reuse Confucianism during his reign.

However, time has changed, and it is impossible to follow the same path forever.

The idea of "promising" is on the rise, and it is needed by the development of the country.

There is no conflict of interests between the Empress Dowager and Liu Che, they have the same blood, and their thoughts are even more consistent, all for the sake of the Han family.

Since the beginning of the new year, with the support of Prime Minister Wei Xuan, Liu Che edicted virtuous and outspoken people to be selected for selection. The whole country was a sensation, and poor students from all over the world gathered in Chang'an, and even the children of the nobility were deeply touched.

The Empress Dowager is now just watching Liu Che toss with cold eyes, she is confident that she is in control of the situation, and Liu Che is confident that she can learn from Gaozu Zhao Xianliang to summon his own court. Gillian could only stand by coldly, she knew with her reason at this time that the most important thing she should do was to support Liu Che happily in exchange for a more important position in his heart.

In order to live better, she has a utilitarian heart for Liu Che.

However, seeing that he was going to hit his head hard, Gillian still couldn't bear it.

He met with the scholars who came to answer the call one by one, and personally asked them how to govern. Statecraft. I often talk about late nights, and I am still in good spirits.

He is so energetic, what can Gillian do except sincerely encourage him?

In the end, it is a little difficult to feel comfortable, the strength of the Han Dynasty has made the name of a nation, and this comes from the current emperor Liu Che. But who would have thought that the emperor was not smooth sailing?

It's already the second watch, and Liu Che hasn't come back.

She couldn't sleep, and looked up against the railing.

Not far away, a group of soldiers in heavy armor walked up, and the generals led by bowed down to Gillian from a distance.

It was Li Guang, who was the general who was urgently recruited back to guard the Forbidden Palace Weiyang Palace when Emperor Jing was seriously ill.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty said to him: "It's a pity, the son doesn't meet the time!" If Lingzi is the emperor of Gao, how can the marquis of Wanhu be enough! Gongsun Kunxi also said: "Li Guang is talented, unparalleled in the world." ”

In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned. But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain.

He was too punctual in Beiping County, and the Huns were afraid to obey, calling him General Fei, and he did not dare to attack for several years. However, "Feng Tang is easy to get old, and Li Guang is difficult to seal", when he finally met the emperor, the overlord of the war, he was repeatedly defeated and lost himself.

In later generations, there are a few talented generals who regret this generation of famous generals, that is, Gillian is sad for him every time he reads that he committed suicide in the maze, his grandson Li Ling threw himself into the Huns, the Li clan was wiped out, and the people of Longxi were ashamed of it.

She knows the end of everyone, including her own. However, she is not a savior, she cannot save others, and she cannot save herself. The gears of history slid forward step by step, and whether she struggled or complied, the trajectory would return to the written program.

She stepped down from the watchtower with a smile on her face: "General, please get up." The general sleeps at night, guarding the Weiyang Palace, and many hard-working generals. "Since Li Guang led the forbidden army of Weiyang Palace, Gillian has a well-known general demeanor and is much more at ease.

Li Guangsheng is mighty, but he is silent and silent. He didn't get up when he heard Gillian's praise, and leaned over even more: "Xie Niangniang's praise." ”

The monarch replied that this is the end of it.

Gillian returned to the palace, and it was nearly three watches in the hall. When Haitang served her and untied her wide clothes, she couldn't help but talk about the mighty general Li Guanglai: "Niangniang, General Li wears heavy armor to guard Weiyang Palace day and night, no different from ordinary soldiers. The whole palace admired it very much, and when they saw General Li, they unconsciously reminded the servant of the servant's father. ”

She talked excitedly about Li Guang's majesty, but the more she talked about it, the quieter her voice became, and she was much darker. Haitang's father was a soldier in the army, but he had no choice but to change his guard and went to Liang State, and died in battle during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

A small soldier, dying in battle in exchange for a small bounty.

But for Begonia, it was the loss of her father forever. She had always had a vague impression of her father, who had left her mother, who had been in charge of the Houfu Mansion in Tangyi before she was sensible, and wanted to compete for fame.

She hadn't seen her father's appearance in armor, but today's mighty Li Guang reminded her of her father for some reason. She knew that her father was not as good as Li Guang, but she unnaturally remembered her father who had not been remembered for a long time.

Gillian held her hand, knowing that she was sad for her father.

Haitang quickly regained her mind and asked Gillian with a smile: "Niangniang, do you want to wait for Your Majesty a little longer?" Gillian shook her head, Liu Che always comes back late these days, goes very early, summons the minister, and asks the virtuous. He tested the bottom line of the Empress Dowager step by step, but the Empress Dowager has not made any statement so far.

This night she slept very peacefully, and she was always disturbed in her dreams, and she only felt that her steps were wrong, and she almost fell, and she was awakened in her dreams.

She opened her eyes and closed them again to calm her heartbeat.

She lifted the curtain and shouted, "Pen, water." ”

It was the wooden pen that kept vigil for her tonight, but to her surprise, it was Liu Che who was waiting. He handed over a cup of ****, and brought water to her mouth just like a begonia wooden pen and they served her.

Gillian had to drink it all, she looked at Liu Che in pajamas and knew that he would return to the palace not long after. She glanced at the dripping clock in the hall, and it was already two minutes old.

Converted to the current time, it is already one or two o'clock in the morning.

When Liu Che lay down on the bed, in the dark of night, he hugged Gillian tightly and whispered to her: "I'm back to talk to you, go to sleep." After this period, the grass grows and takes you out of the palace for a walk. ”

The first time he said that I was Emperor Jing, after he went, the ministers bowed down to him. At that time, he was a little awkward when he talked about me.

But now, even in private, he still talks about me.

Every time, she was reminded that he was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After reminding her that she was a waste of time, her inexplicable thoughts about Liu Che that slowly rose were suppressed at this time.

In the darkness of the night, she couldn't help but turn sideways to look at him.

He lay flat and motionless, for fear of disturbing Gillian. But the blazing starlight in her eyes showed the young monarch's excitement, and she whispered, "Is there anything pleasing to your majesty?" ”

Her voice was like a spring breeze gently blowing on Liu Che's reverie, he came back to his senses and settled down: "Today I have a good talent, and I have a good conversation with him." ”

It was a middle-aged Confucian with a dignified and gentle demeanor. is very famous and gentlemanly, he unhurriedly threw out a thematic conclusion in the face of Liu Che's questioning, governing the country is nothing more than establishing the ruling ideology of the country, and this idea is Confucianism.

His name is Dong Zhongshu.

His words made Liu Che's eyes light up, and he talked about Liu Che's itch.

Then he affirmed the role of the Huang Lao doctrine of "noble and quiet and the people self-determined" in the early Han Dynasty's economic decline and national strength. What is needed today is the idea of subduing the world and unifying the will and action of the people. And this can only be done by pushing the Kong family and suppressing the hundred schools. ”

His long talk rang on Liu Che's heart like a big bell. asked Liu Che to listen to the blood boiling, like a confidant.

Liu Che put Dong Zhongshu on the bus and asked him to write everything he had not finished talking about, and then discuss it with him in detail. The bus is a post house in the Han Dynasty, which belongs to the management of the guards, and the famous people from all over the world come to the court to receive the bus. Dong Zhongshu knew that although the emperor was young, he was full of ambition and courage. The emperor's intention was to listen to his words and to reuse him.

What he expected was right, Liu Che couldn't stop his thoughts flying when he returned to the palace late at night, he pondered Dong Zhongshu's words and thought about it repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep.
