The implementation of benevolent government, governing the country with benevolence, and benefiting the people, Zhao Yu does not object, but it also has to be when. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But needless to say, the current strength of the Mongols is also here. In these troubled times, blindly emphasizing benevolence and righteousness is tantamount to putting oneself in a trap first, and it is difficult to let go of one's actions when doing things. However, these scholars in the court and the central government have been immersed in the religion for too long and too deeply, and their actions are based on the words of these saints, and they demand them everywhere, and it is difficult to completely get rid of the strictness that has always been 'enlightened'.

Today, since Ying Jieyan used Zhou Gong Ji Dan as an example to teach himself, Zhao Yu seized the opportunity to have a good chat with him, wanting to destroy the unattainable status of these sages in his heart from an academic point of view, of course, he would inevitably pick up their black history, shake and shake the 'shameful' things that these people had done, and pull them down from the altar. , but this method can also be regarded as treating others in their own way.

"Sir, is it right or wrong to think that Weizi defected to the Zhou people?" Since Zhao Hao had a plan, he naturally wanted to talk about it with a stick, and asked after a while.

"Of course it's a righteous act!" Ying Jieyan said without hesitation, "In the last years of Yin Shang, the king of Yin Shang had no way, was extremely poor and luxurious, tyrannical and murderous, which led to the rebellion of the people and the decline of the country. Weizi repeatedly admonished, but was not adopted, so he fled in fear of disaster. And after Weizi sealed the country, he was a diligent monarch and was loved by the people. ”

"I also admire the way of Weizi to govern the country, but I don't agree with his abandonment of the country and running away!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty thinks what's wrong with it?" Ying Jieyan had the 'lesson' before, and asked rhetorically after hesitation.

"I think that the dispute between Emperor Xin and Wei Ziqi is not a difference in the concept of governing the country, but a struggle for the throne between brothers. And the purpose of his escape to Zhou was to seize the throne with the help of Zhou's power, but he did not want to become an accomplice of the Zhou people and destroy the country. And then he didn't think about recovering the country, but accepted the gift of the Zhou people to help him appease the Yin people, how different is it from betraying the country! Zhao Yu clicked his lips and said, "If I were like this, I'm afraid I would have been drowned by everyone's spittle." ”

"Well, according to Your Majesty, there is indeed something wrong with it." Ying Jieyan thought about it and said.

He also knew that originally, according to the Shang Dynasty's inheritance method of "brother to brother", the group of Weizi, Jizi, and Bigan were the closest to the throne. Especially Weizi, who is the eldest son of Emperor Yi, was originally the most promising to become emperor. And during the reign of Emperor Wuyi, there were indeed some ministers who supported Weizi. But the imperial party led by Taishi supported Di Xin, because Di Xin was his son-in-law. According to the ritual system established by Emperor Zujia, it is based on the inheritance system of the eldest son, first the eldest son, the second son, the third son, etc., and after the son-in-law, it is arranged in order of age, the eldest son, the second son, and so on.

In fact, Weizi and Di Xin are brothers of the same mother, but because when they gave birth to Weizi, their mother was a concubine and not a queen, so they were concubines; When he gave birth to Emperor Xin, his mother was already the queen, so Xin was his son-in-law. Therefore, the Taishi controversy said, "The son of a wife cannot be the son of a concubine." It is conceivable that after losing the throne, Weizi was unwilling to fail, but he couldn't compete for the strong Dixin, so he did not hesitate to sell the country to seek glory, "Weizi Qi, Jiao Ji and Zhou Meng". Therefore, Di Xin's attack and exclusion of the neutrino family is by no means a mediocre and distant virtuous family, but an inevitable result of political struggle.

"It's not inappropriate, it should be said that Weizi, Jizi, Bigan, Jiaojiao, etc. are by no means the sages in the mouth of Confucius, but a group of traitors who betrayed the country and the people for personal interests, and they are not even as good as the clans in this city who eat and wait for death, they also know that when the country is broken, King Qin will restore the country, and they will not hesitate to die." Zhao Yu said indignantly.

"Your Majesty is exaggerating!" The little emperor said this, which made Ying Jieyan a little embarrassed, after all, he had always used these people as models in the past, and taught his children with this, but now he was said to be a traitor by the little emperor, how could he not embarrass him.

"Hehe, my words are a little intense. But I thought that this matter was nothing more than a dispute between brothers, a struggle for the throne and a struggle for interests, and a dispute between friends, and it was still a matter of one family and one country. And these things also have origins, and it would be unfair to impose them on Emperor Xin as a crime. Zhao Hao heard that the old man couldn't accept that his 'idols' had so many scandals for a while, so he slowed down and said.

"Alas, the minister has read the sage books all his life, and some things have not been seen clearly by His Majesty!" Ying Jieyan suddenly sighed. He is a smart man, and he is familiar with this history, but he just didn't think of this in the past, and of course he didn't dare to talk about the sages in vain, otherwise he would be drowned in spittle. Now that the little emperor is bold and arrogant, coupled with his immersion in officialdom for many years and many times through the overturning of officialdom, it is not difficult to figure out the joints.

In fact, after the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, there was a struggle between two major forces, that is, the struggle for power between divine power and royal power. Although after decades of hard work by four generations of Shang emperors, the royal power gained the upper hand and became the dominant force in the reign, the supremacy of the divine power for hundreds of years caused the huge team of gods to be unwilling to fail, and repeatedly contended with the royal power, trying to reproduce the glory of surpassing the royal power in the era of Yi Yin and Wu Xian.

By the time of Emperor Xin, due to the extraordinary strength of Emperor Xin, the gods were shaken and unmoved, so they colluded with foreign enemies to achieve their own goals and became the vanguard of the overthrow of merchants. Once the backbone of the Shang Dynasty, the Ancestral Monist Cult eventually became the main force that shook the foundation of the Shang Dynasty's rule. This is the origin of the crimes in the Dixin crimes, such as "fainting and abandoning the worship", "respecting the heavens", "the gods of the gods, and the ancestors of the temple", "not repairing the suburbs, not enjoying the temple", "slowly ghosts and gods", and even molesting Nuwa.

And it was the reform of the ritual system of Emperor Zujia that caused the confrontation between the royal power and the clan nobles. Its reform not only established the succession system of the eldest son, but also abolished the system of aristocratic public discussion in the succession to the throne and major state affairs, so that the Shang Dynasty completely wiped out the last remnants of the chiefdom system, completed the transition from the chiefdom system to the state and the empire, and made a big step forward in the form of the state. When Emperor Wuyi single-handedly suppressed the divine power and consolidated the royal power, the Shang Dynasty truly entered the imperial form.

However, the aristocracy of the Shang Dynasty was so powerful in the Shang Empire that it was still strong despite repeated suppression, and as a last resort, several generations of emperors of the Shang Dynasty were trying to use various means to establish their own royal power structure. Emperor Wuding, as the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, was still not allowed to use the technique of "the first emperor to support his dream" to hide his true purpose when he wanted to use the name of the ancient minister.

By the time Emperor Xin took power, the empire was already divided, and many struggles between the divine power and the royal power, between the ruling group and the opposition group, and between the imperial power and the aristocracy, had accumulated many struggles. As a result, he fell to the point where there was no one to trust, and he had no choice but to reuse foreign money, feilian, evil, etc., which caused a strong backlash from the opposition parties, especially the aristocratic family.

Although the interests of the two groups of gods and nobles are different, their goals are the same - Di Xin. And Fei Zhong, Fei Lian, and Evil Lai abandoned their clans to help Di Xin, which was not allowed at the time and caused public outrage. Therefore, the charges in Di Xin's crimes, such as "fleeing for the world, extracting the abyss", "fleeing from the many sins of the Quartet, whether it is worship or long, whether it is a letter or an envoy, and whether it is a doctor and a scholar", "nickname a sinner", and "using adultery and businessmen" and other crimes come from this. The complaints of the gods, the royal family, the opposition party, and the nobles also became Di Xin's crimes: "Fainting and leaving the king's parents and brothers, not di", "Doing too much, sowing and abandoning the plough and the old", "Chongxin and treacherous four, let go of the master to protect; Abandoning the punishment, the prisoner Yanshi", "Jiuhou", "Hou Hu", "Cutting Bigan", "Prisoner Jizi" and so on.

"Why should you do that, sir?" Zhao Yu asked people to change the tea and said, "Speaking of which, Emperor Xin fell into such a notoriety, the responsibility should be borne more by the sons of the Warring States, in order to prove their own point of view, as Xunzi said, they all 'go to the old to make a theory', and use history to prove their political opinions, so they do not hesitate to revise the classics and distort historical facts." In order to prove the importance of benevolence and righteousness, I will cite the example of Emperor Xin's inhumanity and injustice, and there is no example that can be taken for granted like Master Su; In order to prove the importance of being virtuous and using virtuous, he cited the lesson of Emperor Xin's cruelty to the loyal people to destroy the country; In order to prove that the Heavenly Dao is dead, there are examples of Emperor Xin cutting the shin of the dynasty and cutting out pregnant women; In order to prove the effect of preventing micro and gradual progress, Di Xin was made as an elephant chopstick, etc. ”

"And Di Xin has been dead for a thousand years and can't defend himself, and it has long become a sewage pit, and it is customary to put all the strange charges that everyone can imagine on Di Xin, so what's the harm in pouring more sewage, which has created a thousand years of ruined Shang King. But if you sort it out carefully, although Di Xin made mistakes in governing the country and acted fiercely, he is still a promising king! ”

Of course, Zhao Yu does not have such high cultivation and analytical skills, but as long as the historical record of the Zhou people full of slander and abuse is reversed, it is a real and magnificent historical picture. As a great contemporary man said, "It is wrong to regard King Zhou, Qin Shi Huang, and Cao Cao as bad people, but in fact, King Zhou is a very capable person who can write and martial arts." It operated the southeast and consolidated the unification of Dongyi and the Central Plains, which was meritorious in history. ”

"Well, listening to His Majesty's words, the minister finally understood why Wei Ziqi, a descendant of merchants who begged from the Zhou people to establish the Song Kingdom, wrote a poem like "Xuanniao" to remember Di Xin and call him an invincible warrior king, thinking that his move was a repentance for what he had done before!" Ying Jieyan nodded and said, Wei Ziqi and Di Xin can be described as sworn enemies, and they can make such an evaluation of the King of Xu, obviously they also appreciate his contribution to Shang very much, if it is really as judged by later generations, how can he praise the enemy?

"Sir, what I say today does not mean to be disrespectful to the sages, and there is still much to learn from their ideas of governing the country for the people, but we cannot always stick to the shackles they set. Because only when you are full can you have the leisure to talk about etiquette and law, and only when you achieve victory can you talk about benevolence, otherwise everything is nonsense and meaningless! Zhao Yu said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has also been taught today, and understands that evil and good, black and white, are only between a line and there is no absolute, only look at the good and evil in the heart of the implementer!" Ying Jieyan also said with understanding.

"Very good, although I sometimes act in a shady way, it is not selfish, but for the great cause of restoring the country, but it is unbearable to see the people leave their homeland, and the separation of flesh and blood is still unbearable." After all, Zhao Yu was born in a peaceful era in his previous life, and a story of separation and reunion can make him sigh, but now he has single-handedly directed a tragedy of thousands of families being separated, which makes him feel uneasy.

"I think that His Majesty talked with the palace marshal back then, and he once said that he didn't want to be a good person, he just wanted to be a bad person for the country and the people. The minister and the palace marshal also misunderstood that His Majesty would go astray, if he could hear His Majesty's heartfelt words today, the minister thought that the palace marshal should be able to turn a blind eye. Ying Jieyan thought about the conversation when he first met His Majesty, and he was even more impressed, presumably at that time, His Majesty knew that once he stepped into the whirlpool of officialdom, there was no way out, and he did not expect to be a figure praised by everyone, but only wanted to do something beneficial to the people, and did not hesitate to be misunderstood and scolded for this.

"Hehe, although I said so, we can still learn from what the sages did!" Zhao Yu listened to the heart, he was worried that his remarks would cause Ying Jieyan's disgust, and now it seems that the old man is much more enlightened than he imagined, perhaps because he has seen a lot of battles in the officialdom and bloody wind in the court, and can understand and understand the ugliness of the world. If it was changed to Deng Guangjian, at this time, I was only afraid that it would not be a blood spattere, but I would also be broken by his bones.

"What does Your Majesty want?" Ying Jieyan was scared by the little emperor's idea on the left and an idea on the right, but he thought he was old, and his brain was turning slowly and couldn't keep up with his rhythm.

"At the moment, the withdrawal of troops is imminent, I can learn from my father to lead the people to flee, and send a notice to announce that the people of Quanzhou do not want to stay in Quanzhou for a long time, but I don't want the people of the whole city to burn jade!" Zhao Hao whispered.

"Alas...... Your Majesty is much smarter than your father! Ying Jieyan sighed and shook his head with a wry smile, "Your Majesty is sending people to secretly spread rumors and intimidate the people with the notoriety of Tartars; On the other hand, he showed favor to the people and blinded the public. Let the people who are six gods and no owners have to go, how can the father be against His Majesty! ”

"Haha, Mr. Knower!" Zhao Yu laughed a few times after hearing this, and then said, "Sir, who does you think is the best person to do this?" ”

"Your Majesty, alas!" Ying Jieyan sighed and said, "The minister and His Majesty each recommend one person to see who will do the best!" ”

"It's good!" Zhao Yu nodded, and Ying Jieyan wrote the name of the person in charge of this position on the paper back to back, and then opened it at the same time, and the two foxes met and smiled, and such a back-handed man was born...... (To be continued.) )
