Chapter Ninety-Eight: The First Line
Xiong Jing and Kong Lu answered too quickly, others couldn't interject at all, and Kong Jing couldn't distinguish Xiong Jing. Confucianism is like a bamboo dustpan with sewn everywhere, not meticulous and not strong, a little hard poke, can poke a big hole.
Doctrine is so, and most importantly ideology. Since Confucius, and even after the Qin Dynasty, Confucianism has degenerated into Confucianism, all of which want to restrain imperial power, and at the same time pursue a utopian world of great harmony of the old and the young. Such a Datong world was once established by Wang Mang, and then quickly collapsed.
The reason for the fall is that the literati always think that the prosperity of the country is due to the king's wisdom and virtuousness, and that the benevolent government can rule the world. Xiong Jing knows very well that Guotai and Min'an are only because of military and economic, both of which are based on technology, not wisdom and benevolence. But if you want to talk to Confucianism about technology, since Confucius turned the true six arts into the fake six arts, it is to play the piano to the cow.
Xiong Jing felt that Confucianism was playing the piano to the cow, and when Kong Jing heard Xiong Jing say such unkind and unrighteous words as 'brave faith is a nobleman, and hard work is a slave', his heart instantly fell into the valley, and he also felt that it was hopeless to persuade Xiong Jing to play the piano to the cow again.
Kong Lu thought so, and most of the courtiers in the court nodded. The aristocracy did not work hard at all, and the harder the person was, the more humble his status was usually and the more likely he was to be a slave. Only slaves will sell their physical strength to seek food and clothing, and nobles often receive rewards and fiefs at the cost of bloodshed, and the difference between the two is here.
Of course, there were also ministers who did not nod, and Zhao Huang, who had been muttering for a long time on the side, said at this time: "The ministers don't know." If you don't work hard, how can I Chu people eat? If all the hard workers are slaves, there are many people who work hard in my Chu country......"
"Tigers don't eat grass, they just eat meat." Xiong Jing retracted his sword. After collecting the sword, he said: "I hope that my Chu people will never work hard and never cultivate." β
Many of his courtiers did not understand his words, but he himself didβand he only then understood why a certain family in a certain book would say, 'We. . . sowοΌ 'Farming is the work of slaves, and they can take it by force, just like a tiger can eat sheep if he doesn't eat grass. The harder and more you cultivate, the more servile you become; If you eat more grass and no meat, the heavier your sheep will be. However, ancient wisdom can't make chicken soup for the soul, and philosophy is gradually forgotten.
"The worries of the widow are that the current government will be tampered with in the future, or the Qin system, or the weekly ceremony." Kong Lu and the others had retreated stupidly, and Xiong Jing continued the previous topic. "What is the plan for Qing and the others?"
"Ministers and ......" Xiong Jing raised a question, and the problem was to be solved by the ministers. However, it is common for a son of heaven and a courtier to be a courtier, and after Xiong Jing's death, it is not impossible to abolish the Ao system and implement other systems. How can such a thing be prevented? There is no way to prevent such a thing.
On the day of the sacrifice, the Qin army had entered Fangcheng, and Xiong Jing raised such an issue, and every courtier was worried after the court dispersed. Xiong Jing returned to the main bed, and when he climbed the stairs and saw Concubine Zhao standing in the hall, he also became worried.
"Meet the Queen Mother." Xiong Jing saluted helplessly. "When the child travels, he can't tell his mother in the middle of the night, so he only leaves a book to ask the queen mother to atone for his sins."
Xiong Jing left a book before leaving, but the time given to Concubine Zhao was deliberately delayed, and this kind of first cut and then prelude obviously made Concubine Zhao very dissatisfied. She said with a cold face: "Since the king regards the queen mother as nothing, why should he return?" β
"Please atone for the sins of the queen mother." Xiong Jing said goodbye, and he felt more and more that his way to place Mi Xuan was extremely correct.
"Where's Mi Xuan?" Concubine Zhao didn't seem to see her son's bow, and she hated Mi Xuan very much now.
"Mi Xuan?" Xiong Jing looked up at her, not knowing what she meant by looking for Mi Xuan.
"Mi Xuan's wife injured the queen to win the south, this must be instigated by Mi Xuan." Concubine Zhao said. "Si Shi has staked his wife and is looking for Mi Xuan. The king is the prince of a kingdom, and it is not appropriate to shield the guilty. β
"Huh?" Xiong Jing entered the palace and went to look at the court without even changing his clothes, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Does the king want to shield sinners?" Concubine Zhao said again. In her opinion, everything is Mi Xuan's fault, as long as Mi Xuan dies, everything can return to normal.
"The child doesn't dare." Xiong Jing said busily. "However, Mi Xuan's wife is injured to win the south, this, this should be defeated by Zuo Yin, and the interrogation ......"
"Where is the Mi Xuan people?" Concubine Zhao didn't want to listen to her son's explanation, she just wanted to find Mi Xuan. Seeing that Xiong Jing was silent and did not answer, she said again: "The king is the king of the Chu country, how can he ignore the law of the country because of personal feelings!" β
"Mi Xuan's wife injured Yingnan, this civil punishment has nothing to do with national law." Xiong Jing argued unconvinced, and his mind was thinking about what to do about it. He suddenly wanted to laugh, for he had forgotten that he had told the clans to hire a good lawyer.
"Yingnan is the queen and the wife of the king!" Concubine Zhao shouted, she felt that her son had lost his soul by Mi Xuan. "Even if the king doesn't like to win south, he still has to take care of the face of the royal court."
"Even if Yingnan is the wife of a child and the queen of Chu, he can't ignore the law of the country because of this." Xiong Jing Road. "This case should be tried if the court loses, and the royal court should not interfere. At this moment, the child went to Zuo Yin's mansion to ask him about it. β
Xiong Jing didn't want to be alone with Concubine Zhao at all, Concubine Zhao was the queen mother, he was his son, and he would always be in a disadvantageous position. He also tried not to want the mother and son to enter into the impasse arranged by those people. He got up and wanted to go to Zuo Yin's Mansion, but Concubine Zhao said: "This matter can be tried by Si Wei, but in view of this, Mi Xuan cannot marry into the Chu Palace." β
After Concubine Zhao spoke, Xiong Jing raised his head and glanced at the queen mother, and then lowered his voice, and he replied in a deep voice: "Only." Then he walked out of the hall and walked down the stairs.
Concubine Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her son agree. The wound on Ying Nan's cheek has been properly repaired and stitched up, and according to Zangli, there will only be a red mark after the injury is healed, and his appearance will be fine. Yingnan has nothing to do, so he refuses to marry Mi Xuan into the Chu Palace, which can be regarded as a bad thing and a good thing. At this time, Concubine Zhao didn't know that when she looked at the court in the morning, her son had juxtaposed the Zhou rites admired by Kong Qian and others with the Qin system, and took them out as a target, and the courtiers were discussing a proper way.
*
"The king said that?!" Ji Ying Song Mansion, Song Yuyu was dumbfounded after listening to his son's narration. He is the Taifu, and the Taifu is the teacher of the king, and he belongs to the ministers of the royal court rather than the courtiers of the Chu State, so he does not need to look at the court. Song Yi and Kong Yi stood in the Zheng Dynasty as the king's servants, but in fact they were not qualified to speak in the Zheng Dynasty.
"Yes, yes." Song Yi of the next dynasty hurriedly returned home, and as soon as he saw his father, he told him what happened in the morning. The father's side did not let Mi Xuan marry into the palace, and the king immediately took Zhou Li out as a target, such a fierce battle made Song Yi a little scared, he said: "The child thinks that Mi Xuan is not allowed to marry the king, and this is too much." β
"Nonsense!" Song Yu scolded angrily. "How can you marry with the same surname? Only by making the queen's concubine the crown prince, and you and Kong Lu as the princes at that time, can you have a livelihood. β
If you don't do it, you don't stop it. Although Song Yu didn't want to fight Xiong Jing directly, but when things got to this point, it was no longer a matter of backing down. Once they retreat, the Kong clan can return to Ludi, and where can the Song clan retreat? Song Di?
From the first monarch Zhuang Wang to the present, the Song family, which has been a close confidant of the royal court for more than 300 years, has been integrated with the Chu State and the royal court. What I never expected was that the 33rd King of Chu and the 43rd King of Chu would go against the tradition since the first monarch King Wu and establish the Ao system that had long been abandoned by King Wu.
Although Song Yu's close ministers also divided the land, and each clan also distributed Wei State soldiers, how could they compare to the Xiang family, Ruo Ao family, Cai family, E family, Shen Yin family, Fei family, and Peng ......family, these nobles who have long been county officials and Yin? It was all them and those honorable men who benefited from the battle of Fuying.
The Song family is not good at doing things, if you don't be a civil official and don't write resignations, what will happen to your descendants? At that time, it will only be the same as the newly rising Concubine Jing before, and he will be so depressed that he will be a small doorman. Can Fei Jing make a door door, can his son make a door door? Can his son make a doorman, and can his grandson make a doorman? When the third grandson is waited, he will be no different from the common people, right?
The Qu family, the Zhao family, and the Jing family, all of whom were close ministers of the former royal court, were all facing a declining end. It's just that some clans are struggling to train their pawns, and some are like the Song clan, and they can only hope for the early abolition of the Ao system and the restoration of royal power. Only in this way can I reuse myself. And the best way to restore royal power is to dominate the world.
Wenchen united with the monarch to buy or even directly eliminate the nobles who fought the world together with the resources of the whole world to ensure the stability of the royal power, which is an eternal routine. This is the case with King Wu's establishment of counties, and the same is true for King Zhuang and the Yang clan to destroy the Ruo Ao clan, and it is still the case with the release of military power after a thousand years.
Xiong Jing's edict can betray the royal court's 500-year-old tradition of uniting with civil servants to suppress the aristocracy, but the clans that are bred by this tradition will not disappear because of his edict. These clans will inevitably try to reverse the direction of national politics, and if Xiong Jing cannot achieve it during his reign, it will be realized after Xiong Jing's son ascends the throne. The first-line livelihood that Song Yu said is the first-line life of the prince.
He thought about it like this, and the crane Guanzi who waited for Xiong Jing to return in the middle of his sleep was another way of saying: "The king wants to destroy the country for a woman? β
"Why is the teacher laughing?" Xiong Jing smiled, he already knew about Yingnan's case, and Zuo Yinfu thought that it had nothing to do with Qi Xuan.
"How could the king think that Lao Su was joking?" Crane Guanzi originally wanted to destroy the country and win the people, but unfortunately he did not achieve this goal. "The king abandoned the society for a woman, isn't this ruining the country?"
"Teacher." Xiong Jing still had a smile on his face. "Chu is harmonious at home and abroad, the monarchs and ministers are inseparable, the generals use their lives, and the society is safe. There are only people who want to use Chu Guosheji as their mother's money to carry out the utopian dreams in their hearts. Does the teacher not know about this? β
He was about to break the matter with a piece of Chu paper, but Xiong Jing didn't say that he would break the crown of the crane or break it: "The king doesn't want to give birth to a child with his mother's money?" β
"No, I naturally want to." Xiong Jing nodded. "However, the money of the son has gold and silver, copper and iron, pottery and tile, and the Central Plains are all terracotta tiles.
"What does the king want?" Crane Guanzi was not persuaded and asked rhetorically. "Do you want to abolish the weekly ceremony?"
"No, no, no. Zhou Rite is a gift of self-cultivation, not a gift of governing the country; It is a gift from relatives, not a gift from diplomacy. "Xiong Jing Dao." If someone wants to take cheapness as precious, replace Chu Zheng with Zhou rites, and suppress military generals with civil ministers, how can they succeed! β
