Chapter 182
After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!
Dong Zhongshu thought that the emperor would give him a seat, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, wouldn't it be more conducive to playing while standing and talking? So he put the piece he had prepared behind him and stated it like a river:
"Your Majesty! The minister thinks that the Son of Heaven is ordered by the Son of Heaven, and the world is ordered by the Son of Heaven. I, Li Chao, have a lot of land, many people, hundreds of schools, three religions and nine streams, each holding on to one word, and most of them are hereticals. Miscellaneous heresies are crowded one after another, the government and the opposition are chaotic, and people's hearts are uncertain. The ministers are at a loss, and the people have no clue, and the result will inevitably be that the government is not in order, and the people are not the same. Qin Shi Huang unified China and failed to last long, because he only ruled the territory and did not manage the hundred schools of thought; Only the people were registered, but they did not unify their hearts with Qin, and our ancestors won the world with benevolence and righteousness, but there was a rebellion among the princes, and the root cause was still in the chaos of the princes, the caliber was different, the people's hearts were different, and the people had no master. Speaking of this, he paused to see what kind of face the emperor had.
Emperor Wu was originally absent-minded, thinking that he was a clichΓ©. But when he suddenly thought: If he can unify the will of the world into his own will, of course, it is the most desirable thing! I can't help but feel excited. He nodded, "Go on, go on, how can we make the hearts of the people of the world be unified like the territory?" β
Dong Zhongshu slowly spit out a few words: "According to the views of the ministers, we must depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism alone." β
There was immediately a commotion among His Highness's courtiers. This is the world of Huang Lao's disciples, and they can't help but be a little angry when they hear that they have studied for decades and easily used decades of inaction to rule is also regarded as a "heretical miscellaneous family". Xu Chang and Zhuang Qingzhai, who were standing in front, glanced at each other, and Zhuang Qingzhai pouted. And behind them, there were already bushmen and others talking about it.
Emperor Wu was also a little surprised by the phrase "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", but his mind was still on how to unify people's hearts. Thinking of this, his left hand was raised, and with a slight wave, His Highness's murmur suddenly disappeared. Emperor Wu's chin twitched slightly, signaling Dong Zhongshu to continue.
Dong Zhongshu, who was calm, discovered the majesty of the emperor from the reaction of the two slight movements of the young man in front of him, and at the same time, he was more convinced of how important his words were today. It seems that after Confucius, Confucianism, which has been in decline for hundreds of years, will be carried forward in my hands. He suddenly had the feeling that "the heavens will descend on the people", so he immediately cheered up, and his words were much more powerful than just now:
"The so-called Confucianism began with Confucius, carried forward by Mencius, and ruled the world with benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and happiness."
At this time, His Royal Highness walked out of a person, with white hair and a clear breeze. When Emperor Wu saw it, it was Taishi Sima Tan. This Taishi Gong raised the wat version with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has followed the emperor for many years, and he is also a historian, and the minister only knows that Gaozu rules the world with soldiers and horses, and wins the hearts of the people with integrity; And Wenjing II is based on Taoism, ruling by doing nothing, and letting the people live freely, so that there is such as today's great rule and prosperity in the four seas. Confucianism is the art of village learning, how can it dominate the world? β
When Dong Zhongshu saw that his opponent was coming, he naturally became excited. "Your Majesty, the sincerity and faith of Gaozu are the embodiment of the word benevolence and righteousness!" The voice of the bushman flashed among the ministers: "Gaozu let the world be unified, using the art of war!" After speaking, he glanced at Dou Ying. Everyone knows that he, together with Dou Ying, was the hero who followed Zhou Yafu to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and he led the lone army to kill three in and three out in the camp of the chaotic army, and now it is still a capital that can be shouted loudly in the court.
Gongsun Hong was a little anxious when he saw that even a rough person like the bushman came out to fight with the master. He couldn't help but interject: "Gaozu crusaded against the unreasonable, and he was really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness." β
Of course, the bushman will not show weakness: "Gaozu uses soldiers, false and real, and soldiers are not tired of deceit." Is this deception also righteous? β
Gongsun Hong was speechless all of a sudden. It was still Dong Zhongshu who said old, and he sighed: "Woohoo! How can it be said that my ancestor ruled the world and used 'deception' to win? β
When the bushman heard this, his heart was anxious. Doesn't this mean that my husband is insulting Gaozu, which is a great crime of disrespect? He blushed and shouted, "Let you go."
Target! β
Fang Hui saw that the emperor had entered the situation, and he was even more uplifted: "Your Majesty! When the minister did not enter Persia, he still had a good dream, that is, to let millions of Persian people learn to sing and dance one by one while they were idle in winter. When the emperor comes to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, the ministers will lead them to meet under Mount Tai, so that they can sing and dance everywhere, and ensure that the emperor can be happy! β
Li Shimin shook his head: "But I didn't see it!" β
Fang Hui then quickly continued: "Your Majesty, as soon as the ministers arrived in Persia, they found that the people here were all as thin as firewood and slow to act. For more than half a year, they have lived on grass roots and tree bark, and many people have gone to eat the loess by the river, and countless people have died of starvation and disease. The minister was originally a soft-hearted person, and when he saw the mourning of the whole field, he couldn't stop crying! "Speaking of which. Sure enough, his tears were like a fountain of tears, overflowing little by little.
Li Shimin said sympathetically: "Fang Aiqing Aiqing, I'm listening, you speak slowly." β
Fang Hui slowed down his speech: "Your Majesty, later the ministers found out that it is not easy for the people of Persia to survive after the catastrophe. The ministers distributed a lot of grain from the treasury to provide disaster relief in the name of the emperor. But there is not enough food and many people. Starting from the eighth day of the lunar month this year, the ministers could only let the Persian people drink porridge. They could drink a few mouthfuls of porridge, and when they had a little food in their stomachs, they shouted, 'Long live the emperor!' Long live the Emperor! Ahh Every time the emperor saw this scene, tears flowed straight to his stomach. Seeing the emperor today, the minister is still very sad! By this time, his eyes were like a waterfall, and he was unable to speak.
Li Shimin's face was miserable, but he nodded again and again: "Fang Aiqing Aiqing, you are right to do this!" β
Fang Hui choked up and said, "But the emperor, if the minister does this, it can only be a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to save the water and fire!" β
Li Shimin was a little ah: "Aren't you an immortal?" What can't you do? β
Fang Hui pushed the boat down the river: "Your Majesty, some people say that the minister is an immortal, but the minister is not a real dragon!" Only the true dragon son can save the people from fire and water, can relieve the people from hanging upside down, and can rain down on the seedlings that have been in drought for a long time! β
Li Shimin's already fluttering body now has a sense of soaring clouds and fog. He said contentedly: "That Fang Aiqing Aiqing, in your opinion, what should I do?" β
"Your Majesty, look around again! The common people of these four weeks, they are all from the twenty-three counties of Persia. They could have come more, more, to spread the mountains and rivers all over the country, to watch the emperor's grand ceremony, and to cheer for the emperor. However, each of them had only one piece of clothing in their home, and each of them could only send one person to wear the only piece of clothing and come to Mount Tai! Your Majesty, that's it, some of them are still unclothed! Tears flowed down his cheeks again.
Li Shimin looked at the people around him and found that they were indeed in tattered clothes, and some of them even showed their bellies. So his heart was sour, and he held back his tears and said, "Fang Aiqing Aiqing, don't you cry, okay?" I came to Mount Tai to seal Zen, but you couldn't stop crying, let the gods see it, how is it good? Didn't you let me be disappointed? β
Fang Hui chattered a little: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to cry, but the minister's heart is too soft, and he can't stop the tears from falling!" Your Majesty, as soon as you arrive, the ministers are also happy, and the ministers are also crying when they are happy! β
