"There are not many governors of Hebei Lianglu Prefecture who have entered the eyes of King Lu, and Li Miao and Zhang Suo are also their leaders. King Lu secretly persuaded people to surrender, but they were all rejected by his stern words. Now that the Daimyo's mansion is broken, and Zhang is martyred, it is really decided in turn. "Hebei is so empty, and the Liangshan army has swept the north, which is beyond doubt. Chen Qian sometimes has to sigh that his son's fight is really a bright future. "King Lu has a solid foundation and the hearts of the people are in his hands, even if the morale is still repeated, it is just a minutia."

It's rare, the doctor himself said that he was "trivial", which is very valuable.

It must be known that the 'people's heart' in the mouth of the scholar doctor is more often pointing to himself, but in Liangshan, this people's heart refers to the real people's heart.

Chen Qian distinguishes them with 'people's heart' and 'morale', and Ren Boyu naturally understands it.

Li Yansi is in his position to seek his own government. Today, since the saint inherited the unification, he reprimanded the righteous soldiers, approached the treacherous, appointed Cai Jing and Tong Guan as traitors, arrogant and lascivious, although he repeatedly lost the hearts of the people, but he did not let all the Xinjiang ministers surrender to Liangshan without a fight. Ren Boyu looked at Chen Qiang, he knew Chen Qiang's intention at this time.

They are all characters who have experienced decades of official careers, and there is no need to say anything at this moment, and the world is righteous. But Ren Boyu was curious, "The old man has heard that King Lu regards Shilin as rotten wood, Confucianism as grass mustard, hates big families to the bones, hates the giant room into the marrow, why did he ask Yingzhong to come to really appease him?" ”

Isn't that obviously different from that person's style? As far as the Liangshan Army has always implemented, isn't it from beginning to end, all the way overturned, and those who dare to have dissent have always been cut down and killed cleanly? Otherwise, how could Shilin say that he was tyrannical and ferocious, and he was the second emperor in history!

"Haha, that's too biased. Although King Lu killed many people, they were all guilty and deserved, and he never killed innocents indiscriminately, how could he be called tyrannical? This is also a rumor. ”

"In the past, Jiang Gongwang said: The people know the benefits and diseases of the current politics and the loyalty and evil of the people's ministers, and they are not as credible as the officials and the imperial history. If you decorate your feelings and slander yourself, you must ignore your own selfishness, and you must not ignore it. That is to say, if the ruler wants to know the pros and cons of current politics, and the loyalty and evil of the people and ministers, there is no such credible as the official and the imperial history. And if the officials and the imperial historian wantonly make false accusations to disrupt the emperor's hearing and hearing in order to vent their personal anger, then this situation must not be unobserved.

"When man is in the world, what he hears, hears, and knows, is not similar to the above? De Weng was also a pro-people official, and he should know that there are many evil deeds in the big families and huge houses in the world today, and it is not enough for the people to be angry if they are not killed. However, there are many scholars and doctors who come from large families and huge families, and there are few people from poor families, so it is not surprising that they are slanderous. In today's world, morale is declining, and it is impossible to cling. ”

"Although King Lu is jealous and hateful, he is actually discerning." Speaking of this, Chen Qian also felt ashamed, and he blushed when he said this.

"Why is Yingzhong here today? Didn't King Lu think that this is really a big house inside and outside the mansion, and everyone will be kind? Ren Boyu smiled in his voice.

Chen Qian laughed, Ren Boyu's words reminded him of what his son Chen Zhenghui said that day.

Small landlord [Haoqiang] - big landlord [gentry] - official eunuch family.

From small to large, the means of accumulation are different, as if they are all land rent exploitation, or coincide with natural disasters, forcing people to borrow money to survive. Then let people borrow, the interest rolls over, one money becomes two money, two money becomes four money, endlessly, so harvested, it is invincible. Collecting the acres of land from nearby people in their own hands like this is full of endless sin and blood. But Chen Qian knows that this is a fact, there are hundreds of gentry in the world, and there is no one in the ten.

And the landlord has grown from small to big, and there is no shortage of money, so he thinks about power. If a businessman has money, he also wants to go to politics and improve his social status. The landlord is more convenient than that, that is, to support the children to study, once someone can get ahead in the field, or when the literature is obviously prosperous, it is a prestige that increases dramatically, and the family is also the hope of a place.

If you want the family to have a long-term reputation, you will change the way it used to be, or do good deeds, or build bridges and pave roads, or help the neighbors, and if this is not the case, then after three or two generations, it will be the famous family of great goodness. Scholarly family, farming and reading family. If you are lucky enough to have the children of the clan in high school, and you are proud of the field, then you are the family of eunuchs and the family of hairpins.

"There are countless complexities in the world, and the red dust and profit stir people's hearts, how can there be a place where everyone is good. Deweng, please see-" Chen Qian took out a booklet, which recorded a lot of good deeds and evil deeds of the surrounding families, who can be saved, who can be broken, one by one.

"Does De Weng know about Huang Qianshan?"

"Fujian Shaowu Huang Maohe, Yuan Fu three years, Gengchen Kejinshi, know the affairs of the famous government?"

"Deon is really well-informed." Chen Qian clapped his hands. "And what do you think of this person?"

"It is difficult to be a big task if you have ambition but no talent, have a good name but have no substance, and gain reputation for your own use." Ren Boyu said.

"Haha, Deon is really a pair of discerning eyes. That Huang Qianshan and his brother Huang Qiande, after years of seeing, did not have the act of corruption and bribery, but now these two brothers, one is with King Lu, and the other is released from Yuancheng County. Why? ”

Ren Boyu's eyes moved, and he knew in his heart that Lu Qian had changed his policy.

"When the name was broken, Xu Guanzhong once admonished King Lu, so the king moved. Although it is difficult to change the root for a while, it is also in a large house, and it is very good. Chen Qian didn't say it in too much detail, but simply said four words - meritorious atonement, Ren Boyu naturally understood in seconds.

"Furthermore, there are many famous people inside and outside Zhending, and I want to save face, I want to leave a few people for King Lu, just to do my best and ask for peace of mind. Otherwise, in less than ten years, Beidi Shilin will be utilitarian, and the demons will dance wildly. In Chen Qiang's words, King Lu should be replaced by his son Chen Zhenghui. But other than that, it's genuine.

Lu Qian hated Zhou Cheng's Taoism, and did good deeds for profit. Those scum of Shilin will be very good at the top. If the literati are shameless, the ancestors will not want it, let alone Taoism.

"This started in the autumn and winter of last year." Chen Qian didn't sigh, but he couldn't stop it. He can't ask everyone to be like him, isn't he? In that case, he would be unknown, how could he gain a great reputation in Shilin at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty?

Ren Boyu glanced at Chen Qiang, but he didn't expect things to be so twisty and turned. Since the Liangshan army swept through Qilu, the latter's famous Confucian scholars were either liquidated or fled in the wilderness, and then there was 'silence'. The land of Qilu and the vast Central Plains Han soil are actually separated. Few people know about the internal news and situation, and the same is true for Ren Boyu.

Now that I heard Chen Qian say this, even though he was over seventy years old and his personality had gradually calmed down, his face was instantly red.

The difference between the study of merit and the Taoism that gradually emerged after the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty is fundamentally biased. Although the later generations of Cheng Zhu Lixue were not completely formed before Zhu Xi, the master of the master, was born, and it was not as overwhelming as the Ming and Qing dynasties. But the foundation of science had already been consolidated during the Northern Song Dynasty.

Later generations said that science is the most complete theoretical system in ancient China, and its "heavenly principle" is moral theology, which is the basis for the legitimacy of Confucian theocracy and royal power, with Confucianism as the center, compatible with the philosophical theories of Buddhism and Taoism, and proves the rationality and eternity of the feudal Gangchang Mingjiao.

Later generations will naturally say that the empty talk of science is misleading, and Lu Qian is obviously the one who is affected by this concept. is very disdainful of Zhou Dunyi and Ercheng.

But in today's Shilin, this kind of core doctrine of 'ethics and morality' has a very wide influence. If it weren't for Jingkang's shame that made Zhao Song feel painful, I'm afraid he wouldn't have to wait for Zhu Xi, and the science would have been completed. It was not until the end of the Southern Song Dynasty that science would be officially designated as an official school.

This kind of doctrine is only used to 'cultivate one's self and self-cultivation', which is still very good. Lu Qian felt that the word 'reason' in science is the traditional virtue inherited by the Chinese nation since ancient times, and it is the social values of the Chinese nation in a broad sense. Although all of them are moral gentlemen who open and close their mouths, they can't really abide by them one by one in private.

But as a moral concept in a broad sense, it still has a certain usefulness. It's just that this thing must not be combined with politics.

From ancient times to the present, national interests have been the law of the jungle, but there will not be so much gentleness and modesty.

Lu Qian also didn't know what to do to completely separate academics from politics, perhaps this is a problem that will take a long time to solve. But he can now do it to repel Mr. Daoxue. If Confucianism were really a 'wise' group, they would naturally make a choice.

Facts have proved that Lu Qian's thinking is not wrong. The 'wise' Confucian scholar really took the festival as a food, and after the advantages of the Liangshan army were clearly revealed, they sprung up one after another.

Chen Qian saw all this in his eyes, and he was naturally heartbroken. By the time he was in his sixties, his ideological concepts had long matured and been consolidated, and it was impossible for him to suddenly change his ideas. For him, this son is an official, and his learning is learning.

The Gongchuan Chen family is one of the most famous eunuch families in Fujian, and there is a sixteen-character ancestral motto in the clan that has been passed down from generation to generation, that is, "filial piety to relatives, loyalty to the king, honesty to officials, and learning from others". This kind of concept of governing the family is called Chen Qiang's innate closeness to Taoism.

Ren Boyu also knew how great the influence of the king's inclination on Confucianism was, and after listening to Chen Qiang's words, he also sighed, "This is a big matter, we should invite famous Confucian scholars to set things right." ”

"Deon's seclusion here is also a helpless move. In the past, the party ban made people sad, Cai Jing was rampant, Tong Guan was arrogant, not only Deweng, but I was also disheartened by the affairs of the court. However, time has passed, the former court is no longer what it used to be, the old country is gone, the new dynasty is established, why should the beautiful children of De Weng waste their talents? ”

This matter must be done by Ren Boyu. In this way, it is necessary to benefit people, and Ren Xiangxian and Ren Shenxian are not mediocre talents, Chen Qian is still happy to introduce official careers.

Ren Boyu laughed out loud, "Old friend Yingzhong, you are a competent lobbyist, as soon as we met, you talked about this matter, so I don't know how to answer." It's better to talk about the rule of King Lu, so that I, an old man, can also open my eyes. In the cold winter of last year, refugees were displaced all over Hebei, and King Lu was able to accept and help him, and he lived countless lives, which was a great merit, and it could be called the Buddha of ten thousand families. Let me also give birth to admiration. ”

Chen Qian was happy, and Ren Boyu agreed. At the moment, he said: "Naturally, the guest is at the mercy of the host, the words of Ideon." "When he lived in Qilu'an for a long time, he knew about the civil affairs under Lu Qian's rule for a long time. Picking a few pieces like this is a no-brainer.
