Chapter 518: Using the past as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall
Quiet!
Deathly silence!
Whether it is Li Zhi and the rulers of the eldest grandson Wuji, or those soldiers who can't even read words, they are all bowing their eyebrows and pondering.
Is this more than just the meaning of this sentence?
It's a collision of new ideas with old ones.
In China, since the Qin Dynasty Shang Yang changed the law, the idea of foolish people has become the inertial thinking of the rulers, Shang Dynasty reform is the most typical policy of fooling the people, which is not disguised in the Qin Dynasty, that is, it is very direct to tell the people that the foolish people are the good people of the country, but the Qin Dynasty did not adhere to it for a few years, there are many reasons, and this policy of fooling the people is also a very important reason.
Is mankind always progressing, the fall of the Qin Dynasty forced Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone. This is just a decoration for the foolish policy, and it has not changed at all.
For a long time, everything has changed anyway.
They all believe that only the foolish people can withstand the violent rule of ****.
And the Qing Dynasty is to play the idea of foolish people to the extreme, not only foolish people, but also foolish monarchs, everyone is stupid, from the top to the bottom, the ruler is just the best of the stupid people, such a country is indeed very stable, there will not be much turmoil, this is certain, if there is no Western powers, the Qing Dynasty is estimated to be able to rule for a long time, but the fall of the Qing Dynasty proves that the policy of foolish people is not feasible.
It's all played to the extreme, and it's going to be destroyed.
The Qin and Han dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, although they are all aristocratic groups that are upgrading, but the nobles rely on those foolish people. It was the foolish people who really overthrew the rulers.
Taking the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.
Yang Menghao's words. Brings a whole new kind of thinking, and it's the exact opposite.
It also makes a lot of sense.
The idea of foolish people does cater to the interests of the monarch at a certain level, but to be more detailed, the idea of foolish people caters to the interests of the ruler, and the ruler is just a general term, which can be you. That could be him, too.
If there is only one wise man in the world, the emperor will certainly have nothing to say, but the problem is not like this. There are still many wise people in the world, and the foolish people can be ruled by anyone, and whoever gives them food will lean on whomever he wants. And the country with more foolish people. It's very easy to be incited, which is very dangerous.
So did the policy of fooling the people hurt the interests of the monarch?
In fact, when it was still scored, when Li Yuan raised his army, of course, the more foolish people the better, so that it was easy to strengthen his own power, if everyone was Wen Tianxiang, Li Yuan would fool whoever went, but now it is peaceful and prosperous. The imperial power is very stable, so does the emperor still need fools at this time?
I'm already an emperor. A wise person will also agree that I am an emperor, but what about a foolish people? The foolish people will only identify with the one who feeds him.
Unless this emperor thinks that he is a faint monarch and cannot rule the people with a slightly higher IQ, but which emperor will consider himself a faint monarch and an incompetent person.
Because it's a new idea, everyone is thinking about it.
In fact, there are pros and cons to both ideas, the question is that the policy of ignoring the people has failed countless times, so can the latter one work?
Liu Hanyu frowned and was about to get up.
But Cui Youyu held him down and shook his head slightly.
This has touched the high-voltage line, because it has involved the interests of the emperor, the nobles, and the common people, and you can't speak indiscriminately.
Han Yi also showed a thoughtful expression, but there was a trace of elusive gaze hidden in his eyes, thinking, this is the highlight of the day, you just think about it slowly, this is just the beginning.
Yang Menghao was excited, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he began to be afraid in his heart, with his knowledge, he could only understand the superficial truth, and he couldn't understand the deeper things.
"Good!"
Li Zhi suddenly got up and smiled: "What Yang Menghao said is very good!" I agree very much, in fact, what Confucius wants to express is not the most important, but which meaning is more beneficial to the country and the people, this is the most important, so you must remember this, now is not the Spring and Autumn Period, but the Yonghui Period, whether you are studying or practicing martial arts, it is for yourself, for the Tang Dynasty, for the people of the Tang Dynasty, not for the sake of the Confucian Saint, not for the people of the Spring and Autumn Period, I hope you can remember this. ”
"Your Majesty's earnest teachings should be taken to heart by the students."
The students responded in unison.
Yang Menghao was very happy when he saw that the emperor agreed with his words.
Li Zhi suddenly sighed: "I just felt it for a while, you go on, go on." ”
With that, he sat back down.
Many ministers showed puzzled expressions, not knowing whether Li Zhi was in favor or not, and they didn't understand it for a while, so they didn't say anything.
Only Han Yi's face was not half happy, Wu Zi looked selfless, knocked on the wooden hammer and said: "This round is over, and it is time for the Zhengfang to send a representative to speak." ”
Who dares to say this, it's really dead.
Cui Youyu was helpless, and arched his hand: "Deputy Inspector, our side has finished arguing." ”
Han Yi sighed, and said to the opponent: "Does the opponent still have anyone to speak?" ”
There was silence.
Han Yimu thumped and said, "Okay, since both sides have finished debating, then this debate is over, and the judging panel is invited to vote." Speaking of this, he pointed to a crockpot on the side and said: "There are a lot of bamboo chips in the crockpot, on which are written pros and cons, you can choose the vote of the side you think is right, put it into the wooden box on the side, for the sake of fairness, your vote will be completely confidential, no one will know what vote you vote, so you only need to vote for the side that you think is right." Let's get started. ”
The judging panel in the middle followed Han Yi's order, came to the front, and began to line up to vote, first taking out the votes from the crockpot and then throwing them into the wooden box. Han Ye's arrangement. Let them be very reassured, at least not afraid of the wrong vote, anyway, they don't know what they voted.
Soon. One hundred and twenty-seven votes were completed.
The next step was to read out the results of the vote.
Han Yi is also very fair, taking out one vote at a time, and slowly revealing the results under the eyes of everyone.
The atmosphere gradually became tense again.
Forgot what Yang Menghao said, after all, competition is always so attractive.
Soon! The opposition reached sixty-four votes.
Suddenly, there was a sound of celebration on the opposite side, and Yang Menghao and the others jumped up, and everyone hugged each other.
And the positive side is depressed.
In fact, Cui Youyu and Pei Shaofeng had already guessed the result in advance. Lu Kaiming completely catered to the interests of the Shu people, while Yang Menghao put forward the idea of popularizing education and benefiting the country and the people. And their views only catered to the interests of the aristocracy, and did not bring anything to the people, besides, Li Zhi also praised Yang Menghao himself, and the voters were all poor. Of course, they are on the opposite side.
Bang bang bang!
Han Yi suddenly knocked a few wooden hammers. Said: "Okay, the winner of this debate competition has been decided, and I, as the initiator of this debate competition, naturally have to make a summary." ”
Whew!
All eyes were on Han Ye.
Many people were already sweating, and they were inexplicably a little uneasy in their hearts, during the day, Han Yi was a well-deserved protagonist, and those ministers stayed here to watch the debate competition. Most of them are also going to Han Yi, however. In this debate competition, he seemed to have disappeared, everyone almost forgot about him, and now seeing that he was about to speak, in case he threw out any shocking remarks, just thinking about it would make me feel cautious.
I know I'm scared, but I'm not stupid, whoever speaks at this time will become a pig. Han Yi said with a smile: "All students must remember one thing, this win or loss only represents the victory or loss of this debate competition, it does not represent what this sentence means, nor can it represent any meaning, do you remember the spirit of the Royal Police I mentioned earlier, bold assumptions, careful verification, this debate competition can only prove that the direction of our bold verification may not be wrong, but whether it is correct or not, then we have to come up with empirical evidence to illustrate, otherwise, everything is rhetoric and useless." Therefore, the winner should not be too proud, and the loser should not be discouraged. ”
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time, they felt that Han Yi was actually quite good, but they didn't know that Han Yi had already said everything he should say.
Han Yi descended the steps, came to Li Zhi, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, do you want to say a few words." ”
This time, Li Zhi did not refuse, stood up, and said loudly: "Everyone, the feeling that this debate contest gives me is to listen to your words, better than reading a book for ten years, each of you has a very wonderful debate, from a trivial sentence, talking about benefiting the country and the people, talking about the country's society, this has given me a lot of inspiration, if the biggest winner of this debate contest is, I can tell you, it is me, it is my Aiqing." Today's talk is the words of a saint, and I also borrow a sentence from a saint, threesome, there must be my teacher. After this debate competition, I very much look forward to you being able to end the training camp as soon as possible, come out as soon as possible to serve the country and the people, and I have reserved a seat for you in the court. ”
Oh my god! That's the biggest reward!
These students were overjoyed to hear this, and hurriedly thanked the emperor.
And Xu Jingzong and the others are like ashes, if their grandson is also here, how good it would be! How many times in life can you have the opportunity to appear in front of the monarch.
Li Zhi nodded with a smile, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Taiwei, you can also say a few words." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The old minister will be exempted, and the old minister will be exempted." ”
Li Zhi whispered: "Uncle has always been known as the smartest person in my Tang Dynasty, if my uncle gives these students some encouragement, I believe they will work harder." ”
They all shouted uncle, can the eldest grandson Wuji refuse, he can only nod his head and agree, and then take two steps forward and say: "The old man listens to it for half a night, and the biggest feeling is that he is old!" But the old man does not feel sad at all, and feels very relieved, this person is always inevitably dead, so everyone often says that there are successors, the old man sees you, and suddenly feels that the burden on his shoulders is much lighter, the old man hopes that you can continue to work hard, and in the future take over this burden on the old man's shoulders, assist Your Majesty, and lead my Datang to become stronger, so that the old man will be satisfied. ”
As soon as the words fell, applause erupted.
It's definitely the perfect incentive.
Many of the students looked at them with respect.
Han Yi heard it secretly, worthy of being an old fox, it was really impenetrable.
In addition to encouragement, the eldest grandson Wuji's words still show a meaning, that is, the old man should already retire, as if this power is a burden, I am old, I can't bear it anymore, you hurry up and help me share some.
Hyun is quite like that!
But is that the case? Of course not, the eldest grandson has just reached its peak now, it is difficult for someone to choose to retreat bravely at their peak, which is almost impossible to do, and his burden is not so easy to take, if it is not good, the burden is not received, but it is crushed to death.
After the debate contest ended, Li Zhi and the ministers left, and they only expressed their approval of the debate contest and their affirmation of these students, but none of them expressed their agreement with the contents.
For one thing, these words are not so easy to agree with, and they have not fully figured it out.
Second, this is just a few Huangkou children's unscrupulous children's words, although there is some truth, but after all, it is not very thoughtful, just say universal education, just four words, how much manpower and material resources do the imperial court pay to do it? Moreover, if the emperor or the Taiwei spoke out in agreement, the meaning of these words may have completely changed.
Whether it is someone like Chu Suiliang who is good at argumentation, or Liu Fu who comes to find trouble, they all choose to remain silent, because they know that if they fight, it will only make things more complicated.
Especially the aristocracy, they don't want to talk too much about it, just listen to it.
But Han Yi believes that these words will remain in the hearts of many people.
