Chapter 0009: The Teachings of the Son

Day 2

You Heng got up early, ate some food, and was pulled into the study by Guo Yuan, Guo Yuan looked quite haggard at this moment, maybe it was because he didn't rest all night, the love of books in this era is almost incomprehensible to later generations.

But at this moment, the bamboo slips in front of You Heng are not yesterday's "Historical Records", looking at this rather unfamiliar bamboo slips, You Heng is also quite curious why Guoyuan suddenly interrupted the course of "Historical Records", and what kind of books are these bamboo slips placed on the wooden table?

Guo Yuan opened the bamboo slip little by little, and said to You Heng: "This is the "Han Law", a total of sixty articles, is the law of my Han Dynasty to govern the country and the people, you must concentrate on studying, do not slack off, when we meet in the second half of the year, I will have to ask, if you answer wrong, I would rather return those hand-copied books than step into the Mijia family again!" ”。

Hearing Guo Yuan's words so serious, although You Heng felt strange in his heart, he still nodded obediently, he is not a mediocre talent, as long as he studies with a little effort, how can there be a situation where he can't answer, but Guo Yuan's behavior today has always made You Heng a little puzzled, not to mention that for an intellectual who loves books like his life, returning the hand-copied books is definitely more serious than letting him die.

Seeing that this usually unruly guy finally nodded and agreed to himself, Guo Yuan also had a few smiles on his face, he has always been a serious and unsmiling gentleman, before he was worried that this guy would be angry after listening to his words, and then ask someone to blow himself out, it seems that these days, he has also grown a lot, Guo Yuan pointed to the content on the bamboo slip and began to lecture.

As the foundation of the Han Dynasty, there are not many people in the world, and you know that the purpose of Guoyuan's explanation of the "Han Law" is naturally not to copy, but since the other party is willing to explain it to him, he is also willing to listen, these knowledge are the capital for him to survive in the troubled times in the future, and he must not be careful!

The best way to get rid of a person is to use his ignorance to get rid of him, especially in terms of law, You Heng knows that with his own character will definitely offend many people, presumably after he is familiar with the law, at least he will not be buried by others through the pit of the law, listening to Guo Yuan's explanation of Han Law, the more Guo Yuan tells You Heng, the more frightened he becomes.

He is naturally frightened that the Han Dynasty already has such a perfect law, this Han law sixty articles, in fact, is Xiao He's "Nine Chapters of Law", Shusun Tong's "Pang Zhang Law", Zhang Tang's "Yue Gong Law", Zhao Yu's "Dynasty Law", together is sixty articles, and there are branches, than other law implementation channels, the only fly in the ointment is that in this period, "Spring and Autumn" as a book that has little to do with the law, but it has the effect of surpassing all laws, almost all of them are equivalent to the constitution of the Han Dynasty.

In terms of content, the Han law is already very perfect, mainly divided into criminal law and civil law, and from the crime, criminal law, disposal content and other regulations are explained in detail, You Heng can not help but feel that the wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated, for two or three hours in a row, the mouth of the country is like a hanging river, and there is no rest for a moment.

On the contrary, You Heng, who has been silently listening to Guoyuan's lectures, is a little tired, and he has been kneeling and sitting for a long time, his legs are very sore, this hour is almost two hours, and he has been kneeling and listening to lectures for nearly five hours, I am afraid that no one will be able to stand it, seeing that Guoyuan did not have the mind to rest for a moment, You Heng suddenly stood up, this stand made You Heng a little dizzy, that is, he still has a three-star [strong physique], otherwise I am afraid that he would have fainted a long time ago.

Seeing You Heng suddenly stand up, Guo Yuan was also stunned, and then he was a little angry, You Heng's behavior was disrespectful to him as a teacher, he looked at You Heng with a frown, and asked loudly, "Why did you get up?" Can't listen to the teachings or can't help but get irritable? As far as what you do today, even if you are given ten years, what can you do after ten years, in my opinion, you are just a rich son in this life!! ”。

As a gentleman, Guo Yuan will not speak ill of you even if he is angry, he is a humble and wise person, but now he has said such serious words, which is obviously extremely disappointed in You Heng, which also shows that Guo Yuan attaches great importance to You Heng.

You Heng looked at Guo Yuan calmly, there was no anger on his face, he could naturally feel Guo Yuan's concern for himself, his attention, and the final disappointment and anger, so he seemed quite calm, if the original You Heng, I am afraid that Guo Yuan had already sprayed Guo Yuan's face at this moment, he arched his hand very seriously and said: "The monarch misunderstood me, I got up, but I had doubts about something, so I got up and wanted to ask the teacher to solve my doubts." ”。

Hearing You Heng say this, Guo Yuan was stunned again, he squinted his eyes and looked at You Heng, You Heng's words were very serious, serious, it didn't look like a lie, of course, only You Heng's biological mother knew that You Heng usually put on such a serious appearance when he cleared his name......

"What's the matter, let's talk about it."

Seeing that Guoyuan had changed back to the elegant gentleman before, You Heng Fang asked: "When I thought about Emperor Shizong Xiaowu, according to Dong Zi's policy of 'rejecting a hundred schools and respecting Confucianism alone', now Confucianism is in full swing, I wonder, why didn't the monarch teach me Confucianism first, but instead talked about the law and the law?" ”。

Hearing You Heng's words, Guo Yuan nodded, and then said, "'Reject the hundred schools and respect Confucianism'?" It's not bad to say so, Dong Ziyan in the past: Push the Kong family and suppress the hundred schools, but this is not exactly my Han Dynasty's policy of governing the country! Since Emperor Shizong Xiaowu, the Han Dynasty has used both internal and external laws, ritual laws, and moral masters, and criminal auxiliaries.

Originally, You Heng just casually looked for a question and wanted to take the opportunity to get up and relax, but when he heard Guo Yuan's words, he was quite shocked, what Guo Yuan said was already very clear, now it is not a world of great governance, it is already close to the troubled times, in the troubled times, the law is naturally much better than Confucianism!

You Heng naturally hurriedly thanked him, Guo Yuan did not speak, carefully put the bamboo slips on the case in place, and repeatedly warned You Heng to study seriously, and then prepared to say goodbye and leave, Zhang has been busy with his mother's affairs in recent days, and he is also very tired, You Heng did not trouble his mother anymore, and prepared to send Guo Yuan out of the county in person.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, they saw that the wall on the other side of the garden was being demolished, and an old man who looked kind and gentle, and had no beard, was directing Zhang Ze and them to tear down the partition wall that they had originally built, and saw the master and apprentice walking out of the door, the old man smiled at them kindly, but You Heng was an old thief who was insulting and hypocritical in his heart, although Guoyuan didn't like eunuchs, but he was a gentleman, and the old man couldn't help but change his salute, he bowed to the old man, and walked away quickly without stopping, but You Heng moved his lips silently towards the old man.

Suddenly, the old man trembled with anger, because he could read You Heng's obvious lips.

"Zang, obtained"

Note (1): What Dong Zhongshu proposed that day was not to dismiss the hundred schools, respect Confucianism, promote the Confucian family, and suppress the hundred schools.
