The confessor said that a set of official clothes could not help him Dong Zhongshu, and Dong Zhongshu loved to listen. Yes, who is he Dong Zhongshu? Confucian master, learn to be rich and rich, knowledge is power, he uses the knowledge he has learned, and will be stumped by a set of official uniforms?

Dong Zhongshu didn't waste his energy on official uniforms, what he was thinking about was, what did the emperor do with him this time?

The last time Dong Zhongshu saw the emperor, it was he who answered the emperor's three countermeasures. In his famous "Strategies for Raising Virtuous and Virtuous Ones", he combined Confucianism with the needs of society at that time, and absorbed the theories of other schools of thought, creating a new ideological system with Confucianism as the core, which was deeply appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He systematically put forward the theories of "Heaven and Man Induction", "Great Unification" and "Those who are not in the science of the six arts and the art of Confucius are all in the same way, and do not make progress." The idea of "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" was adopted by Emperor Wu.

Dong Zhongshu's answer this time made him famous, and his neo-Confucianism began to dominate the stage of Han thought.

Could it be that the emperor saw that Dong Zhongshu was good at it, and asked him to discuss a problem?

If this is the case, Dong Zhongshu is a little embarrassed. The emperor's thoughts, where can he guess, and he still guesses what the emperor's fourth policy topic is?

Whether you can guess it or not, you still have to guess, maybe you can guess it. Dong Zhongshu's eyes flickered, and his brain pondered, the current situation in the Han Dynasty is like this, politically the emperor will no longer act according to the 'rule by inaction', and the military emperor is now bent on fighting a large-scale battle with the Xiongnu......

When the confessor saw that Dr. Dong had his eyes closed and didn't say anything about asking for clothes, the confessor came to the spirit and wanted to discuss the three strategies with Dong Zhongshu and guide Dr. Dong: "Dr. Dong, you are so powerful, the last time the emperor asked you for advice, you talked endlessly, and solved the emperor's three problems heartily. I see that the emperor listened to your answer, and admired you so much. I've been with the emperor for many years, and I've never seen him, and the emperor is so fascinated by your three strategies. ”

If anyone talks to Dong Zhongshu about the three strategies, he is very willing, no matter when and where, no matter what he is still doing, even if it is a very important matter, he will put it down and discuss it with you.

Dong Zhongshu opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the confessor cordially, and asked him, "How do you know my strategy?" You say that the emperor likes my strategy so much, you say, why does the emperor like my strategy? ”

The confessor and Dong Zhongshu sat on both sides of the sedan chair, facing each other. Seeing that Dr. Dong was willing to discuss the matter of policy with him, he held the board with one hand, leaned forward to Dong Zhongshu, and said: "When you and the emperor were discussing, I was waiting outside, and my voice could be heard clearly from the door. I think your strategy is exactly what the emperor needs now. You see, the princes and kings below now, that is, the former princes, are now older, and they are all about forty people, and it is when they are ambitious, isn't your great unification exactly what the emperor needs? This is number one. Emperor Wu used to talk about Huang Lao's academics, and he didn't rule for anything. It's not that Huang Lao's scholarship is completely bad, but the Han Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population, and it is inevitable that there will be some chaos by relying on inaction, and you propose to respect Confucianism alone and unify everyone's thinking into one mainstream, which is the last word......"

Dong Zhongshu didn't expect that this confessor was the same as he thought, and he was also a great character, but it was a pity that he was a confessor.

Now that there is a common language, Dong Zhongshu wants to probe the tone of the confessor, if the confessor is him, how can the confessor guess the emperor?

"I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of my strategy, I really admire and admire it. You have been waiting for the emperor for a long time, can you help me think about it, if the emperor gives me a fourth strategy this time, which aspect should it be? In order to guess the emperor's mind as soon as possible, Dong Zhongshu was very modest and asked shamelessly.

Dong Zhongshu's question made the confessor think deeply. What the emperor usually thinks, just look at who he has called recently, and guess what he is thinking. Recently, the most shouted and most closely communicated are a few generals. When the emperor called these people, he naturally thought a lot about wanting to fight, so the confessor speculated: "According to my guess, if the emperor wants you to make a fourth strategy, it must be a war with the Huns." ”

Dong Zhongshu disagreed with the confession's statement. Although the emperor is now mainly thinking about the issue of fighting against the Xiongnu, the emperor will not discuss the issue of war with him, Dr. Dong. The emperor's determination to wage a large-scale war with the Xiongnu is certain, and there is no question of whether to fight or not, but how to fight now.

How to fight the war, he Dong Zhongshu is a layman, and it is impossible for the emperor to ask him.

Dong Zhongshu did not directly oppose the confessor, but still asked: "In addition to the war, you said that the emperor may ask anything else?" ”

Seeing that Dong Zhongshu was not interested in the war, the confessor knew that Dong Zhongshu thought differently from him. The confessor couldn't think of anything else that was more important than fighting in the emperor's eyes: "Does Dr. Dong think that the emperor has other important things, let's hear about it?" ”

Just as the confessor thought, Dong Zhongshu really thought of other things, and the emperor might want to discuss him. However, he is not very sure about this matter, so it is inconvenient for Dong Zhongshu to say it directly, so he only sloppy eyes: "It's still ambiguous at the moment, let's see when the time comes." ”

Seeing that Dong Zhongshu didn't want to say it, the confessor was also interested, so he diverted the topic and said that it should be almost there, so he opened the curtain and looked outside.

As soon as the curtain was opened, a beam of sunlight came in, brightening up the dim car. The eyes of the confessor were illuminated by the sun's rays, and the sunlight was not strong, which did not affect the situation of the confessor looking out the window. As soon as the confessor looked outside, he knew that the carriage was already driving on Zhangtai Street.

The carriage entered the street, and the groom slowed down as he barked. Zhangtai Street is very lively, and there are a variety of items outside, including daily necessities stores, clothing stores, and children's toys...... In the crowd of people, there were shouts everywhere. There are those who sell, and there are those who bargain; There are allegro counters, and there are singing songs, so it's not lively!

At this time, the Han Dynasty, after the 'rule of Wenjing', was rich in products, and people's living standards were slowly approaching happiness. Here the performances of top bowls, skipping rope, jiu-jitsu rolling lamps, shaking bamboos, and spinning saucers; There are songwriters and storytellers...... The programs of these hundred opera troupes are very exciting, which shows that the people have a higher pursuit of spiritual and cultural life.

Look at the adults with children, and cheer as the children watch the juggling excitement; It is the expression of the true feelings of life, the essence of life, and the embodiment of the happiness index.

In the joy of these crowds, like radiant and brilliant fireworks, flying in the sky, embellishing the sky of the Han Dynasty into flowers, dazzling......

Nowadays, the people have a good habit of avoiding horse-drawn carriages, and everywhere Dr. Dong's carriage went, everyone quickly got out of the way, allowing them to walk smoothly through a section of Zhangtai Street. After passing through Zhangtai Street, you will enter Weiyang Palace, and if you drive inside, you will see the emperor.
