Chapter 51: Official? People?
In fact, these people are so determined. Of course, what they said is reasonable, on the other hand, it is also the ideological work done by Zong Ze and others that is inseparable.
After all, everyone's thoughts came from the end of the Qin Dynasty, and the 20-level military merit title system was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At that time, it was an important stage in the transformation of slavery into feudalism, and the status of the peasant class was relatively high. Moreover, there are remnants of various ideas from previous periods, such as 'love', 'non-attack', 'the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the king is light'.
In contemporary times, after 400 years of changes, things are already wrong. The mountains, rivers, sun and moon are still the same Central Plains China, but the institutional thinking has long been completely different.
In particular, Dong Zhongshu put forward the theory of 'heaven and man induction'.
Dong Zhongshu's original intention was to realize that the political power of the peasant class could determine the rise and fall of a feudal dynasty through the great peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty. The 'heaven' that Dong Zhongshu refers to here refers to the armed forces of the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty. He wanted to use this 'heaven', which symbolized the political power of the peasant class, to guard against the emperor and make him self-contained. Limit him with 'heaven'.
The influence of Manifest Destiny in people's minds is extremely deep. Dong Zhongshu used 'heaven' to limit the emperor's personal desires and restrain his supreme power. And the bitter lesson of Qin Shi Huang's unchecked power, which led to a peasant uprising and the rapid collapse of the country, turned it into the emperor's spiritual shackles to limit the emperor's power. From this point of view, Dong Zhongshu's idea of 'heaven and man induction' limited the emperor's selfish desires and power, and made an important contribution to the long-term peace and stability of the entire feudal society, and its significance is far-reaching.
At the same time, in this way, he also promoted his policy of 'governing the country by virtue'.
However, anything that comes into the hands of the ruler is just a tool of rule, and Confucianism, Taoism, and Mofa are nothing more than that.
What's more, such a thing as the true son of heaven began to blow during the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, which one didn't pull himself to the bloodline of the ancient Holy Emperor. You're coming and telling me that those mud legs are 'heavens'? The emperor will make up for heaven in minutes, 'the monarch is determined', and you can be ruled by me with peace of mind.
Although the military merit title system was also inherited by the Han Dynasty, after reunification, the society was basically stable, and it was necessary to have talents who were good at governing the country and developing the economy. At this time, we should follow the methods of the past, attach only importance to the armed forces, select officers from among the soldiers, and rank them according to their military merits, so that a large number of servicemen who can be accustomed to fighting will serve as officials at all levels, which will only intensify social contradictions.
So where do these kinds of people come from? Will it be a peasant who can't read a basket of big characters? Of course, it is a scholar gate valve with a collection of books and an orderly inheritance.
As a result, the royal family ordained by God rose high, the powerful families rose to the top, and the remaining peasants fell into the endless abyss.
Perhaps when these people change with the times, they can subtly accept such changes, which is the so-called boiled frog in warm water, and before they know it, the white sand will be black in Nirvana. However, it is impossible for them to accept the great changes of 400 years at once.
When there are remnants of the former Qin's ideas of 'love and love' and 'the people are precious', and the spiritual wealth of Great Qin's iron-blooded martial arts is continued, it will be absolutely intolerable for them to integrate into this regime that has become rotten after hundreds of years of corruption.
Perhaps these fierce generals can only see some superficial things, and feel uncomfortable in their hearts, so they made such a choice.
Then the person who really has the right to speak and sees clearly enough has already spoken to the leader who wants to overthrow it all in the ice and snow in the north.
Fusu, a man who knew the Great Qin system of the previous dynasty well, explained his opinion in the most straightforward sentence: the peasants overthrew a dynasty that could survive as long as they obeyed the law, and built a dynasty that not only had to abide by the law, but also endured the exploitation of the powerful.
This topic is still a continuation of the previous thoughts.
The Book of Rites. The record of "not being courteous to a commoner, not being punished by a doctor" is the embodiment of the guiding ideology of criminal legislation in a slave society. The criminal law of slavery is openly unequal, and the treatment of doctors and commoners in the criminal law is different, which has become the guiding ideology of criminal legislation in slave society.
During the Warring States Period, the new landlord class stepped onto the political historical stage, and its political representatives were Li Kui, Shen Buxian, Shang Ying, Shen Dao, Han Fei and others. According to the Legalist proposition: "The rope does not twist, and the law is not expensive", all those who violate the law and commit crimes will be brought to justice.
When Shang Ying and Qin Xiaogong changed the law, the prince's master Gongsun Qian instigated the prince to break the law in order to prevent Shang Ying from changing the law. This is the origin of the proverb that "a prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people".
In fact, Confucius elaborated on the sentence "If you can't be courteous to a courtesy, you can't punish a doctor", Confucius explained, not that the punishment is not applicable to the doctor, but that he recognizes the doctor's own 'virtue', has enough cultivation, and does not need to bind and detain him if he commits a crime, and he will naturally ask for guilt. Even if it is a major crime, there is no need to send someone to execute him, and his moral cultivation will naturally know that he has done wrong, and he will consciously judge himself.
Therefore, even if the doctor is not punished, and the doctor will not escape punishment because of his guilt, this is actually the subtle role of etiquette and religion.
Undoubtedly, similar to Dong Zhongshu's situation, when the "Book of Rites and Qu Li" was revised in the Western Han Dynasty, for the benefit of the royal family and even most of the powerful scholars, the authorities naturally distorted the meaning and misinterpreted it into the fact that the criminal law was not applicable to scholars.
Of course, what Fusu said is not necessarily true. After all, these are all evolved with the development of the times. No one can say that the Great Qin that was really inherited for a hundred years back then would be equally decaying.
And if it's just if, after all, people are more realistic and realistic. What is the reality? The reality is that the Han Emperor is deaf, the eunuchs are chaotic, and the people are struggling to make a living, and just the yellow turban sparks can ignite the fire of the prairie fire.
The heroic generals have not been baptized by the idea of loyalty and patriotism, and after seeing the current situation, they can still have confidence in the Han family, I am afraid it is not enough. Maybe this is why the yellow scarves were serious at the beginning, and they were dissatisfied in their hearts, but they just silently cleaned up. After all, even if you have a lower impression of Zhang Jiao, and you don't have a good impression of the Han Dynasty, you can only continue to stay in the Yellow Turban Army.
This is like when the two Han Dynasty alternated, the new dynasty was not good, and the anti-kings from all walks of life were not good, and the generals under their command were also mixed up, after all, there was no better choice.
When a guy who performed well appeared, looking so wise and powerful against the backdrop of a group of scum, the generals would pay attention to other things, pat their butts and run to work. Thus, the legend of the Children of the Plane was born.
And now, there is not much choice. Neither side behaved well. However, one can still manage to change, and the other is useless to pass. Then stay on the side of the yellow scarf and slowly change.
And Zhang Jiao is not a fool, it is impossible to rely on the religious system all the time, and finally he will change back to the political system. And these people have to be experienced and experienced, and if they are loyal, they will basically not rebel, so what are they afraid of, let them establish a political system.
Great Qin, New Dynasty, Zhang Chu............
I don't believe that none of them can surpass the Han Dynasty.
And the Han Emperor is different, in his opinion, the world is still the Han world, and his resurrected heroic spirit is naturally loyal to the Han Dynasty, and what he is thinking about is whether the identity of those people will cause him any trouble.
The Eastern Han Dynasty founded the country, so forget it. The relationship between that group and the other side is unknown. Even Xiao He, Cao Shen, etc., who followed Gaozu at the beginning, are all famous figures of the Han Dynasty, and it is not impossible to say that they can come forward to change the emperor.
After all, they have a precedent to follow, and although there are various factors of Lu Hou's relatives, they can't ignore this possibility.
The more suitable thing is that the Eastern Han Dynasty opened a famous general summoned at the beginning, and the loyalty of the Yuntai generals to Liu Xiu is undoubted, and there is no such power and prestige that can affect the existence of the emperor.
Subsequently, the fierce generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty can be considered, but it is best to exclude those who are related to the royal family.
Those who have died in recent times are also good, and some of them have been reused by themselves, and they must be even more loyal after they come out.
Considering all aspects, it was only then that Liu Hong resurrected the dead in modern times this time. Of course, he didn't know that with his actions, it would have a huge impact on the entire court.
Maybe the appearance of a heroic spirit that has been dead for hundreds of years is nothing, but seeing a colleague who has been dead for a few years appear in front of me, the shock is absolutely indescribable.
Similarly, this ability also makes the eyes of some people who were originally light and indifferent to the drama red. If after his own death, he will be resurrected by his descendants............
I don't know if I can be resurrected in a cycle, but isn't this the hope of immortality?
Compared to all kinds of ethereal legends, there are people who take risks, and this thing is right in front of you......
It can be said that there are also waves and undercurrents above the court, and each has its own plans. Especially some old men who are approaching their longevity, it is even more indescribable.
To beg the Emperor? Or fight before you die?
The situation is unpredictable, no one knows when it will break out, maybe you don't have to wait for the rebellion of the ten permanent servants in history and Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, and the court will collapse in advance.
Of course, no one can predict the moment it happens.
Bao Hong said goodbye to the generals and began to arrange in full swing. Although the decree is given is a big event. But the most important thing at the moment is the implementation of the strategy yellow scarf.
Because Bao Hong was partly assigned the task of sniping the chasing yellow turban and defeating it. Naturally, everyone had to go to the sniper site to inspect before they could make various arrangements.
Whenever he thought that the Yellow Turban had conquered Youzhou, Bao Hong was entangled. Is this the rhythm of the Southern Song Dynasty? Youliang and the three major horse farms, Youzhou was taken, and the state was already less than half, and now it is still being attacked by Zhang Jiao, Liangzhou is not much better, the Qiang people are arrogant, so if it continues to develop, it will properly become the Southern Song Dynasty!
