Liu Xun's anger and grievances were not complained of, and when he returned to the greenhouse hall, he could only talk to Empress Xu, who always silently listened to the Son of Heaven scolding a certain minister behind his back, but listened to it with a smile.

"Zen Rang, Zen Rang again! Listen, Queen, is this human language? ”

Asking the Han Emperor to let Chan let go, this is not the first time Liu Xun has heard it.

In the third year of the reign of Yuanfeng, Taishan Dashili, Dong Zhongshu's second disciple, Fu Jie Ling Yuhong deduced the general idea of "Spring and Autumn", thinking that this means that someone will be from the husband to the Son of Heaven, so the family of Gongsun should be revived.

So Wei Hong gave Huo Guang a recital: "The ancestor Dong Zhongshu said that although there is a king who guards the virtue of the body, it does not prevent the saint from being ordered by heaven. The Han family is after Emperor Yao, and there is the fortune of passing on the country to give him the surname. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty should tell the world, seek the sage, Zen to the throne, retreat from the self-styled hundred miles, such as the queen of Yin Tuesday, in order to inherit the mandate of heaven. ”

This concert stunned the court, if Dong Zhongshu was still alive, he would definitely hurriedly deny it: "I didn't say this!" ”

Lao Dong did only vaguely mention the "new king of the Spring and Autumn Period", and set Confucius and his "Spring and Autumn" as the real royal system outside the world.

At that time, Huo Guang held a meeting of salt and iron, killed Sang Hongyang, a "utilitarian traitor" who was hated by virtuous literature, and had not yet begun to enter the Western Regions, so he was regarded as the second Duke of Zhou by Confucianism. As long as General Huo fully embraces the Five Classics of Confucianism, he will be a proper saint. Most of these words are speculation, but they are also in line with the mainstream opinion of the Kanto Confucianism in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

They thought that Emperor Wu had expanded his territory, consumed a huge amount of money, and enshrined the wealth of Kyushu in Siyi, which led to internal political turmoil, and if this continued, the Han Dynasty would collapse sooner or later. Some Confucian scholars who were disappointed in the imperial court, especially Dong Zhongshu Houxue, thought of the legendary legend of Yao Shun Chan, and came up with the idea of the Han Emperor Chan letting the virtuous and talented, so as to solve all the problems......

Is Confucianism stupid? It is not stupid at all, the poison of this idea is still prevalent in the world after 2,000 years: as long as there is an elected leader, all the intractable diseases of society will be completely solved!

Bingzheng's general Huo Guang felt that Wei Hong was trying to mess with himself, so he decided to be executed for "bewitching the public", but the matter was reversed after Liu Xun ascended the throne.

Liu Xun wanted to mythologize the process of his ascension to the throne, indicating that the succession was in accordance with the will of heaven, so combined with the rumor that the ants eating leaves in Shanglin Yuan appeared with the words "Gongsun Disease has been established", he cut the prophecy of Wei Hong and put it on himself. He is indeed the Son of Heaven as a puppet, and he is also the "Gongsun Clan". Therefore, Liu Xun rehabilitated Wei Hong and appointed his son as a lang.

Looking back now, Liu Xun realized that he was too young at the beginning, and he simply lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot. This incident encouraged Dong Zhongshu's later disciples, and more and more people studied the prophecy of the disaster, and finally pushed the "Zen Theory" in front of him again.

Liu Xun interpreted Gai Kuanrao's performance with the greatest malice: "He wants to say that the current government is unclear, and if it continues like this, the Liu family's country will not last long, and it is time for the emperor of the Han family to abdicate." ”

"Your Majesty, Gai Sili has always been upright, I'm afraid I don't mean that." Xu Pingjun carefully advised, she and Liu Xun have been married for more than ten years, and they can see the murderous intent flowing from the emperor's eyes.

"I used to think he was upright and upright, but now I realize that I am afraid I have seen the wrong person."

Liu Xun got up and sighed: "Five years ago, I destroyed the Xiongnu, set up the northern capital to protect the north, and Yongning in the north, but I was not in a hurry to declare the stability of the world. Because the war went before during the Jingning period, there were still great shortcomings in internal affairs, especially in the rule of officials, officials either took the prohibition of adultery as leniency, indulged in the guilt as not harsh, or regarded the evil as virtuous, all of which were lost. ”

"So for five years, I have been fortunate to be in the office, and I have spent a lot of energy in internal affairs. I first used the advice of the Marquis of Xi'an to reduce the price of salt after replacing the boiling salt method with the salt drying method on the east coast. The troops stationed in the north were reduced, and only 40,000 of the 200,000 county border guards remained. ”

"The extra money from opening up sources and reducing expenditure is used to help the poor, fake public land, borrow money to grow food, reduce the amount of money, and give the old man a royal scepter, so that the world can restore people's livelihood as soon as possible."

"I have commuted the punishment again, forbade harsh violence, selected good officials, and personally met with 2,000 stone in every place where he took office, and asked carefully to see if this person was competent, and set up Tingweiping, the harsh wind was reversed, and the unjust, false and wrongful cases were slightly rehabilitated."

Liu Xun really wanted to be a saint who was revered by all the people, and even the fastidious Confucian scholars were admired and praised.

In the past five years, the Han Dynasty has been governed by him in an orderly manner, and the three orders are Yu Muyi, and the head is called the domain. Inside, the officials are called their duties, and the people are safe and secure. Scholars of politics, literature, and jurisprudence are highly capable, and as for skills, craftsmen, and equipment, they are far beyond their predecessors.

When this era is over, I don't dare to say Da'an, Xiao'an can boast of it, which can be described as "Zhongxing". So at the beginning of this year, Liu Xuncai, who felt that he had done a good job, was a little inflated, and felt that the ancestors of Gongguang were the heirs of the industry, so he sacrificed to Tai, and then went to Hedong County to sacrifice the Houtu, and sent the minister to the four pillars.

But these achievements, in the eyes of Gai Kuanrao and others, are far from good.

Liu Xun complained: "'Your Majesty is not virtuous', 'Your Majesty's punishment is too deep, it is appropriate to use Confucianism', they often say so, but it's not that I don't use it, it's that Confucianism is really useless!" ”

Let's take Xiao Wangzhi, who was once pinned on by Liu Xun and felt that he was a talent. Liu Xun knew that Wangzhi was proficient in scripture and steady, and his arguments were reasonable, so he wanted to promote him from the prime minister's department to the minister of Lu'an to examine his ability to govern the county. As a result, Xiao Wangzhi disliked that it was Zuo Guan, and refused politely, and said what else:

"Your Majesty loves the people, and is worried that Dehua will not be able to spread all over the world, so he will release all the officials to make up for the county officials, which is worrying about the end and forgetting its roots. If there are no ministers in the DPRK and China, they will not know their mistakes, and if there are no wise and reasonable people in the country, they will not be able to listen to good advice. I also hope that His Majesty will choose a Confucian scholar from the Ming Classics as a minister to participate in political affairs. When the princes heard about it, they knew that the court was concerned about the government, and there was nothing missing. In this way, the Taiping world like Chengkang in the Zhou Dynasty can be built. Even if the other counties are a little unclear, there is no need to worry. ”

Don't worry...... Don't worry, don't you keep saying that you can't be cured, isn't it just your group? Why, when it's your turn, you shirk it like this? Do you have to ascend to the sky in one step and directly do the three princes and nine kings? And then Cheng Kang Zhizhi came uninvited?

Liu Xun really laughed angrily, yes, it is of course easier to move his mouth than to practice it.

Since then, Liu Xun's evaluation of Xiao Wangzhi in his heart has been lowered by a notch, and he expected: "Vulgar Confucianism is not up to date, but it is good that the past is not the present, which makes people dazzled by the name and the truth, and they don't know what to keep, so how can they be appointed." ”

He didn't even dare to let this group of people teach his own prince, for fear that the teaching would be crooked.

On the other hand, Huang Ba, Geng Shouchang, and Zhang Chang and others brought out by the Marquis of Xi'an are all bricks of the empire, where they need to move, Huang Ba will rule Yingchuan County well, Geng Shouchang went to the seashore for several years, completed the promotion of the salt drying method, and Zhang Chang succeeded Shu County Shou and Jing Zhaoyin.

Therefore, the daily administration of the Han Dynasty is still still punished by the law, with multi-grammar law officials, under the rope of the criminal name, Liu Xun insists on domineering, supplemented by the royal road, although also using Confucianism, but it is the same as Emperor Wu using Confucianism to decorate the law.

So the voice of criticism came, although Liu Xun did a lot of things to improve the rule of officials, but failed to fundamentally solve the problem, and the doctor and the doctor began to quarrel.

"The reason why this is so is because Your Majesty has taken the wrong path and is in the opposite direction, and it is still necessary to fully implement the rule of virtue!"

They thought that the Han Dynasty had taken the wrong path since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reformed the system and conquered the country for utilitarianism, and if they continued to follow this road today, although the Xiongnu were solved, although the people's livelihood in the world did seem to be improving, although the rule of officials was slowly improving, although the four Yi came to the dynasty, but compared with the loss of the royal road of etiquette, is it all worth it?

So there was the debate over whether to fully implement the Spring and Autumn Prison Sentence, which ended with Zhao Guanghan's dismissal, but the Confucian officials did not win.

Perhaps sensing the disapproval of the Son of Heaven, their criticism began to expand, and they also used Liu Xun to give Shi and Xu Fugui to talk about things, holding on to these small things, alarmist, and finally even Zen Rang came out.

Despite Empress Xu's repeated persuasions, Liu Xun thought deeply, this Gai Kuanrao is not an isolated case, he represents a hidden trend of thought in the academic world: the dissatisfaction of Confucian intellectuals with the Han family system.

Liu Xun couldn't help but think of the prophecy of Xi'an Hou Renhong more than a year ago: "Your Majesty, Xunzi has a saying, Confucianism is divided into great Confucianism, elegant Confucianism, and vulgar Confucianism. Slightly the law first the king and enough to do the troubled times, Miao learned miscellaneous acts, did not know the law queen and a system, did not know the righteousness of the long etiquette and killed the "poems", "books", vulgar Confucianism. Today, "Ram" vulgar Confucianism is full of courts, and its learning spreads to the four fields of Kyushu. ”

"If you don't prevent it, he will become a big man, and he will be a vulgar Confucian!"

Xi'an Hou or wanted to use the fight against the ram Spring and Autumn to promote the Zuo Spring and Autumn Period he studied as an official school, Liu Xun laughed at the time and didn't take it seriously, but today it seems that ......

"The study of "Ram" and "Han Yi" really can't be indulged anymore."

……

"Your Majesty, the embroidered messenger said that there is indeed a matter of rumors among the people."

The next day, after returning to the Xuanshu Palace, Jin An, who controlled the embroidery for Liu Xun, came forward to report: "Many years ago, Emperor Xiaowu's words that 'the Han has six or seven misfortunes, and the law should be ordered again' began to spread again. ”

It is said that Xiao Wuxing was fortunate in his later years, and the middle stream and the ministers drank and feasted, that year he was not in good health, almost died of illness, happy and mournful, frightened and old, felt this, is his own "Autumn Wind" lyrics: "Xiao drum singing and singing, joy and sorrow. When is it young and strong, but old and old! ”

Then a strange thing happened, Xiaowu didn't know whether he was tired or drunk, and he actually said to the ministers: "Han has six or seven misfortunes, and the law should be ordered again, who should be the descendant of the clan?" Six, seven, forty-two, those who represent the Han Dynasty, should be Tu Gao! ”

This is simply the words of the death of the country, the ministers were terrified, but Xiaowu had been poisoned by Fang Shi at that time, and his health was not good that year, and sometimes he was not very sober, although he was admonished by the ministers, but he said something even more amazing: "I am drunk and talking." However, since ancient times, those who have not heard of a surname who has been the king of the world for a long time......"

This statement has been spread among the people for many years, and it was especially noisy when Liu Xunchu succeeded to the throne - in fact, it was Tian Yannian's attempt to push Huo Guang to usurp the Han.

Liu Xun tried to explain this matter: The misfortune of six or seven, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, not counting the young emperor and Liu He before and after, the sixth generation is Xiaozhao, and the seventh generation is him, as a child of the clan, there is nothing wrong with it!

But the "I don't hear the surname of Sui Changwang in the world" can't be washed, and it has become the basis for proving that the Han family should indeed give in.

Liu Xun closed his eyes, asked Jin Anshang to retreat, and said secretly in his heart: "I once wanted to prove that I am the saint monarch that everyone in the world expects, and I want everyone to admit it." ”

"But now I understand that I can't please everyone after all."

Liu Xun watched Gai Kuanrao's recital again, and the more he looked at it, the more chilled he became: "Although there is a king who guards the virtue of the body, it does not prevent the saint from being ordered by heaven...... I have reached this point, and in the eyes of my generation, I am just taking a place for the 'saints' they are looking forward to, and they can give way at any time? ”

The emperor only felt that he had been deeply betrayed, and he also knew who the saint Gai Kuanrao and the others were looking forward to.

Of course, it's not Ren Hong's guy who is full of utilitarianism, who is full of utilitarianism, who is open and utilitarian, and is soft and charming, and he has to be a foolish person in the countryside who is unfamiliar with the pattern of the DPRK and China to come to this conclusion.

What Confucianism is looking forward to is a figure that does not exist in the world: he must be a morally perfect sage, as filial as Shun, as virtuous as Yao, like Dayu, who is dedicated to the three of the public and does not enter the house, and it is best to have the ideals and learning of Confucius.

In this way, he can take over the crown of Emperor Chan of the Han Dynasty and inherit the real royal system after the Zhou Dynasty - with "Spring and Autumn" as the new king! Then, as long as the empty proposals of Confucianism are adopted and implemented one by one, comprehensively retro, worship the heavens and the first kings, and govern the country with etiquette, you can achieve the peaceful world.

Other than that, all other methods, are wrong!

The logic of the Han Confucian virtuous literature after Emperor Wu has been read by the Five Classics, and its logic is very similar to that of some people in later generations: as long as democracy and freedom are realized, all social ills will be perfectly solved - if they are not solved, it is because you are not democratic and free enough.

After a few decades in history, the Confucian scholars really waited for that "saint", and in the end, only chicken feathers remained in the vigorous reform movement.

Realism and idealism are not in dialogue, up to the front, Liu Xun as in the past, standing in front of the bronze jian to let the slave maid change his clothes, but always feel that there is a dazzling flaw on the face of the jian, reaching out to touch it a few times can not be erased.

"Threw it."

Liu Xun, who has always been good-tempered, was impatient, and suddenly gave such an order, and after Shangyi Shangguan took the palace maid to carry the bronze jian away and replace it with a new one, Liu Xun took a closer look, and sure enough, the flaws on his face disappeared.

"If no matter how much you take it, there are flaws on your face, then I'm afraid it's not my problem."

"It's that the copper is flawed!"

Liu Xun was in a good mood, and after putting on the crown, he handed over the cover to Ling Honggong, the Chinese secretary, and his tone was normal.

"Under its book, so that the two thousand stones will be discussed."

Many turning points in history and culture are caused by an article by a small person, which has caused earth-shaking changes.

In the third year of Tian'an, since Xiaowu respected Confucianism alone, it was time for another big earthquake in the ideological circle of the Han Dynasty!
