Sima Yao slapped his thigh violently: "Yes, that's really it." Those who talk about Xuanqing all day long, burn incense and crane dance, talk about the heavens and the earth, like immortals descending to earth, not to mention ordinary people, even I and the princes and nobles, are also envious, invisibly, the majesty of the Son of Heaven, the status of God in the hearts of the grass people, I have been puzzled to understand the reason, it turned out to be here. ”

Fan Ning nodded: "Exactly, that loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, the three outlines and five constants, is to divide all living beings in the world, thousands of people, into three, six, nine and so on, the highest is the emperor, and the following are according to their positions and perform their duties, this is the order of the world, and it is also the etiquette that Zhou Li said." ”

"But since the flourishing of metaphysics, the sons of those big families, while holding the power of the government, rely on this trick of pretending to be gods and ghosts, talking about the principles of the universe that others can't understand, as if they have become gods, and the emperor who should be the son of heaven to shepherd all the people is not as good as them."

"In this way, Jiuding has moved, the Son of Heaven has lost his authority, and the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty has completely become a puppet at their mercy, and if he wants to regain power, it is not enough to take back these superficial powers, because the current people in the world think that the emperor is not as good as these families."

Sima Yao gritted his teeth with hatred: "This gang, these bastards, how dare they, dare to despise me, hmph, after I became in power, I issued an order to prohibit Qing talk, see if anyone dares to look down on me again, and if someone dares to be disrespectful to me, I will kill them all!" ”

Fan Ning sighed: "Your Majesty, by all means, the human heart is not something that can be solved by killing people, Cao Cao's heavy punishment back then was also a butcher's knife, but didn't he kill the seven sons of Jian'an and the seven sages of the bamboo forest?" After all, to govern the world, you need educated and high-level people, and these people are only from the family and the small and medium-sized scholars, if they are not convinced and refuse to serve Your Majesty, then how can Your Majesty govern the world? ”

Sima Yao gritted his teeth: "Aren't there you loyal ministers?" Hmph, I don't believe it, I'm dignified, and I can't find anyone who can be an official. ”

Fan Ning shook his head: "Your Majesty, these are not the way to cure the root cause, not to mention whether these families and scholars will rise up to resist, even if they abide by this set on the surface, but they are not convinced in their hearts, how can Your Majesty govern the world?" Metaphysics has been in turmoil for more than 100 years, and it cannot be reversed overnight, and the top priority is to stop such a trend, re-take scripture as the right path, and educate the children of the family to keep the right path from now on. ”

Sima Yao blinked: "How can this be implemented?" ”

Fan Ning smiled and pointed to the two people beside him: "Your Majesty, as long as you start to reuse Confucian scholars and use people who like scripture to hold important positions, those families who want to become officials will naturally begin to reverse this trend." Just like the Xie family, when their ancestor Xie Kun crossed the river, he was a famous Confucian scholar, but because of the prevalence of metaphysics, he had to abandon the scriptures and enter the Xuan, and became one of the eight masters of Jiangzuo, so he had an official to do. Let's do the opposite, reuse Confucianism, then the world will know that Your Majesty wants to revitalize the dynasty and strengthen the imperial power, even those metaphysical families, I am afraid that they will begin to regain the Four Books and Five Classics. ”

Sima Yao shook his head in disbelief: "It's that simple? ”

Wang Gong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is a rare opportunity for the right time, place and people in the hands of Your Majesty." In the past, the emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty either died young, or supported the ministers, or had no power in themselves, and even their own thrones could be abolished at any time. ”

"But it's different now, Xie An has been in charge of the government for twenty years, and he has not harmed His Majesty, and the contradictions between him and other families have led to this big defeat, and those top family alliances that have joined forces to manipulate and control the emperor have caused cracks, so this time Xie An has returned the three powers of Yangzhou, Phase, and Beifu Army to Your Majesty, and you can finally show your ambitions." At this time, the person Your Majesty uses represents the future distribution of power. The reuse of Confucian scholars and scholars means that when you return to the right path of imperial power from the world, if you want to follow Your Majesty, those who are officials will naturally follow you. ”

Yin Zhongkan said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, what Secretary Wang (Wang Gong served as the secretary at this time) said is very true, now that the power of the world has returned to the hands of His Majesty, you can appoint officials according to your own will, and this power is the most attractive thing in the world. Therefore, as long as you reuse Confucianism as an official, naturally most people in the world will abandon the Xuanxiang Sutra, and only when the elites and scholars of these countries re-pick up the Three Principles and Five Constants, the right path in the world will be re-established, and the imperial power can be passed down for generations. ”

Sima Yao laughed: "I understand, I understand, I understand everything, after listening to your words today, I know that the first thirty years are in vain, Teacher Fan, Secretary Wang and Yin Huangmen said it too well, in my opinion, it can be reused, then the history of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, I immediately plan to let them serve, what do you think?" ”

Fanning's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, by all means." ”

Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan's faces were already smiling slightly, this was exactly the result they wanted today, but when they heard Fan Ning's words, they all changed color, and they looked at Fan Ning at the same time.

Sima Yao was even more puzzled: "Teacher, didn't you ask me to reuse Confucian scholars as officials?" These two are now famous Confucian scholars in the world, and they are just reused. ”

Fan Ning shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry in everything, now Xie An has just retreated, he is not willing to give up the power of the Xie family, this move is just to retreat, I want Your Majesty to come out and deal with those enemies of him, those people will never be Confucian scholars who have lost power for many years, they must be other great families who believe in metaphysics, if Your Majesty uses Secretary Wang and Yin Huangmen as the two major thorns of Yangzhou and Jingzhou now, it is tantamount to offending the entire great family, and when the time comes, not only those dark families will be enemies with Your Majesty, but the Xie family that could have been fought for, will stand on the opposite side of His Majesty. ”

"Besides, although Secretary Wang and Yin Huangmen are from famous families, after all, their fame and status cannot be compared with the top families for the time being, especially if they have not been in charge of Dazhou or become the commander of the army, their foundation is insufficient, and if they become high-ranking officials rashly at this time, I am afraid that they will not be able to control the situation."

Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan glanced at each other, and said in unison: "What Fan Zhongshu (Fan Ning is now an official scholar in the middle of the house) said is extremely true, and I also ask Your Majesty not to be in a hurry." ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly and said: "And Your Majesty Chrysostom Yuyan, promised King Huiji to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou, record Shangshu affairs, and command the Beifu army, since you agreed, you can't break your word." ”
