Chapter 279 A man should be like a tiger

Chinese civilization has a long history, because of the lack of written records, the feelings of the ancestors in ancient times are no longer examinable. However, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it seems that the luck contained in thousands of years has suddenly exploded, and the essence of all kinds of ideas of the hundreds of schools of thought has been presented to the world. &1t;/p>

And Confucianism is the most bewitching of these flowers. Up to now, although because of Yuan Zhao's intervention, Dong Zhongshu's theory of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" has not been accepted by the emperor, and the status of Confucianism has not yet been praised to heaven, but some of the essence of its doctrine is still deeply sought after by many scholars with lofty aspirations. &1t;/p>

The so-called "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world" is not only the dream of scholars, but also the ultimate pursuit of every scholar. In fact, in Yuan Zhao's understanding, the world's theories have the same goal, and the final goal is the same, that is, through their own efforts, they will gradually make the world they live in a better place, and achieve peace and happiness in the world. Those who "level the world" do not mean to calm the world, but to mean that the world is peaceful and the world is in harmony! &1t;/p>

And what does it take to achieve all this? It is necessary to start from oneself, that is, the so-called "self-cultivation". Strengthening one's own ability is not something that can be achieved by just studying, but by having both civil and military skills! &1t;/p>

Whether it is self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, or leveling the world, the way of civil and military affairs, one gallop, one is indispensable. Many people understand this truth, but in many cases, they forget that the most basic point is self-cultivation. This kind of thing will become more serious in later dynasties. &1t;/p>

“…… A person cannot do without a strong body and an unyielding heart, just as a nation and a dynasty cannot lack the martial spirit. Nations are strong and weak, and their combat power is different, but they can be compensated for by improving the sharpness of their weapons. The same is true for people, the gap between the weak and the strong, through the protection of weapons in hand, to avoid bullying the weak, life can get the greatest equal ....... ”&1t;/p>

The speech in Hanyuan's hall was still going on, and the emperor had already stopped Zhang Tang's rebuttal to Yuan Zhao and motioned for him to retreat and listen carefully. Because, he wanted to listen to what Yuan Zhao wanted to say completely. &1t;/p>

“…… What do you say that you are afraid that if the people have sharp weapons in their hands, they will plot against them and commit treachery? This is completely a blind eye to Mount Tai. The fall of the Qin Dynasty is a living example, the people have no weapons in their hands, but Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up, did they hold swords, bows and crossbows in their hands? No! It's just an ordinary branch stick, but the mighty Great Qin perished like this. Therefore, it is not advisable to rely on the means of banning crossbows and weapons to tame the people of the world. The lesson of the Qin Dynasty is not far away, isn't it worth pondering? ”&1t;/p>

"However, Yuanhou, such sharp weapons as bows and crossbows are in the hands of traitors, and they are indeed even more evil! It is an indisputable fact that in several major cases reported by counties and counties in various localities over the past few years, extremely vicious criminals have used these weapons to cause great casualties among the people and officials. ”&1t;/p>

Prime Minister Gongsun Hong turned his head and looked at Yuan Zhao and said. His proposal was rejected by him, and of course he was a little unhappy in his heart. &1t;/p>

"Huh! Prime minister, the so-called contradiction between good people and bad people, will always exist in the world. I think that since Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, he has sympathized with the difficulties of the people's livelihood and created a prosperous situation. The world is becoming more and more peaceful, and the people are simple, but there are still thieves who are in trouble. ”&1t;/p>

Emperor Liu Che smiled on his face and nodded frequently, the Son of Heaven is the Holy Son of Heaven, only blame the people below for not doing things well! He agreed with Yuan Zhao's words very much, and it simply went to his heart. Gongsun Hong smiled a little bitterly, Yuan Zhao, this guy is too strategic to speak, and he can't refute the words that praise the emperor's holy virtues! &1t;/p>

"Prime Minister, I heard that you have studied "Spring and Autumn" since you were a child, studied the Confucian classics diligently, and have a deep understanding of the essence of Confucianism. &1t;/p>

Gongsun Hong was thinking wildly, but suddenly heard Yuan Zhao's words, and actually praised himself, he was strange in his heart, he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd. However, studying the Spring and Autumn scriptures is exactly what he is proud of, and listening to his praise, he is naturally a little happy, so he can't help but be modest. &1t;/p>

"Yuanhou is overrated! The writings of the sages are broad and profound, and I have only gained a little from my hard work for half my life, but I can't say that I am highly talented. Hehe! ”&1t;/p>

Yuan Zhao also smiled faintly, and then he arched his hand, with a bit of sincere respect in his tone, and said: "Yes, the essence of the sages' thoughts is exactly what I and other juniors need to study hard." Although I am young and not good at what I have learned, I have also read "Li", and I remember that there is a sentence in it: Men are born, and the mulberry arc is lifted to show that there is something to do. And Confucius of Confucianism also said: I am not persistent, I am persistent! There is also a "poem" cloud: the marquis is resistant, the bow and arrow are open, the shooter is the same, and he dedicates his work. It can be seen that the ritual of shooting bows and arrows has been the same since ancient times, whether it is the Son of Heaven, scholars or scholars, and it is encouraged rather than forbidden. ”&1t;/p>

Hearing him quote the scriptures, many courtiers in the hall couldn't help but be surprised, and looked up at this little marquis again, I really didn't expect that this son was not only superior to Wu Yongtao, but also studied such a profound scripture and truth so deeply? Is it really the ability to do anything? &1t;/p>

Not only the emperor and them were surprised, but even Gongsun Hong was shocked in his heart, Yuan Zhao was so young that he had studied the Confucian classics so intensively, which was really commendable, and he couldn't help but arch his hand in admiration: "Yuanhou Bowen, this is exactly the reason!" &1t;/p>

Yuan Zhao nodded in thanks, but did not stop, but continued: "As for the people who are traitors and evildoers in the world, no matter what time it is, they are not capable of completely eliminating them. Sometimes they are not even afraid of death, are they afraid of being guilty of carrying a bow and crossbow? If the imperial court really formulates a decree banning crossbows today, it is only the law-abiding good people who bind their hands and feet. At that time, the evildoers still persist in doing evil, while the good civilians have lost a means to protect themselves. Eliminating the advantages of one will only make the forces of the wicked more arrogant, and greatly increase the cost and difficulty of governing the county, which is the most undesirable. Therefore, the proposal of banning the crossbow, Weichen can never agree to it, please think twice! ”&1t;/p>

The voice landed for a long time, and there was silence in the hall. Finally, a gentle high-fived admiration came from the throne: "Yuan Qing, this is a great good!" What do the prime ministers and the secretaries think? ”&1t;/p>

Prime Minister Gongsun Hong bowed his body and mind and was convinced: "Your Majesty, the Yuanhou is high, which is admirable!" This is exactly what the country said, and the minister is willing to withdraw the suggestion, and I hope that His Majesty will approve it. ”&1t;/p>

Subsequently, one after another voices of approval began to sound in the Hanyuan Palace, needless to say that the emperor had already praised first, in all fairness, Yuan Zhao's words were the demeanor of the upright herdsmen of a big country, but all the righteous ministers admired from the bottom of their hearts. &1t;/p>

Emperor Liu Che is very happy, today's court meeting can be said to be a very success! Several major events in the decision-making had a profound impact on the Han Dynasty. The replacement of the queen did not cause a big wave, and the emperor naturally knew that Yuan Zhao's influence on the Dou and Wei families played a great role in it. And the opening of the Western Regions to raise troops to the west has won the support of all the courtiers, which has given him a lot of confidence, and he is full of ambition, needless to say. &1t;/p>

Compared with these, Yuan Zhao's growth made him even more happy. This kid is getting more and more like an important minister of the court day by day. The bearing of a generation of famous ministers has been initially revealed, if he can start to become a pillar of the court at such a young age, then the stability of the three generations of kings of the Han Dynasty in the future for nearly a hundred years can be guaranteed. As an emperor, what could be more reassuring and comforting to him than this? &1t;/p>

The emperor laughed and announced his retreat, he rushed to the harem, today's joy and excitement, he wants to find someone to share, that is, Wei Zifu, who is about to become the new empress of the Han Dynasty. He felt that this would be another new beginning, and the Han Empire might be different from tomorrow! &1t;/p>

Yuan Zhao, who had received praise and admiration from his colleagues all the way, walked out of Weiyang Palace, and Cui Hong, Xiaoice and others were already waiting for him to return to the house outside the Suzaku Gate. The horse's hooves stepped across the streets of Chang'an, and Yuan Zhao's eyes swept through the bustle of the prosperous streets of the market, and his emotions fluctuated slightly. &1t;/p>

I hope that with my own meager strength, I can make this era and this land better, better! After all, this is the place where the ancestors of the descendants of the Han nation lived, if there was no pioneering and enterprising spirit of these ancestors, how could there be the majestic China of later generations, the great China. &1t;/p>

In fact, in today's court, there is a deeper expectation hidden in his heart, which he did not reveal. That is, he hopes to continue the "martial spirit" since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and never extinguish it in the hearts of the Chinese people! Only a nation with fierce and mighty power can be a strong nation. No matter what time it is, as long as this spirit is deep in the bones, it will never be humiliated and subjugated. &1t;/p>

This spirit is not only needed by the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, but also by every citizen of the Han Dynasty. This is a kind of self-esteem and self-improvement of the personality. A country can rely on this to dominate the world and threaten all directions. A person can rely on this to be independent, free and indomitable! Since our ancestors have never let this inheritance of martial spirit be cut off, why should future generations not inherit it! &1t;/p>

If, for one reason or another, everyone living in this land has exhausted this mighty and unyielding spirit, and has become a slave who has lost his rugged bones, and lives a life of obscurity and obsessiveness every day, then he does not even have the courage to fight for his own rights, and when the foreign enemy invades and the country is in danger, can he expect such a person to pick up a bow and crossbow that he has never touched and fight bravely to kill the enemy at the cost of his life? &1t;/p>

"Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!" This is by no means an empty slogan to inspire people. On the streets of Chang'an, at the mouth of Qianmo Alley, Yuan Zhao patted the war horse hard, and after stepping on the residual snow, the storm rose. &1t;/p>

&1t;/p>
