Chapter 301: Suppressing the Clear Stream
Tian Guo understood what Xu Ping meant, so he could only agree to do it, but whether it could be done or not, he didn't dare to pack the ticket. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Pavilion is the place where the imperial court cultivates talents, and the most gathered is the clear stream of the ministers, so that they can bend down and entertain the people, which is really not easy.
Qingliu has its historical origins, from the Wei and Jin dynasties to talk about Xuan, each to the high rank of the family began to abuse, until the end of the Tang Dynasty, the famous family controlled the cultural upper class, with a clear stream of clothes boasted, looking down on others. Finally, in the second year of Tianyou, Zhu Wen killed more than 30 people, including Prime Minister Pei Shu, and threw the corpses into the Yellow River according to the suggestion of Li Zhen, who hated these well-dressed people because of the Jinshi Luodi. What Li Zhen said is that these people boast of a clear stream, so they will throw themselves into the turbid flow of the Yellow River to see how clear they are. It is known as the disaster of the White Horse Post in history.
The killing of Qingliu by the White Horse Post marked the beginning of the five generations of martial artists, and since then the famous family has become a historical term, and Zhu Wen ended an era with fierce means. Speaking realistically, the so-called Qingliu at that time only relied on the family, using mean language and monopoly on cultural public opinion to maintain their illusory glory of the old times, and it was already a historical necessity to be eliminated. At that time, Qingliu not only suppressed the status of the military ministers, but also suppressed the ascending channel of the Hanmen scholars, which had no effect other than maintaining the dilapidated façade of the Tang Dynasty. In the end, the military power of the martial arts and the low-level scholars were combined, ending an era and opening an era.
The Five Dynasties started from Zhou Shizong, in fact, they have slowly changed the policy of Wufu as the country, and after entering the Song Dynasty, they completely turned. The world will be united for a long time, which is also the inevitability of the people of the world who desire stability and are fed up with endless killing.
With the policy of Chongwen and military suppression, Qingliu once again quietly stepped onto the stage of history. However, at this time, Qingliu was different from the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the family was no longer important, and scholars from poor families were the mainstream. Without the flaunting of the family, what Qingliu used to distinguish his identity became poetry and books, and of course, more important was his own moral cultivation.
In Zhao Zhen's era, Qingliu did not occupy the mainstream of officials and scholars, and pragmatic officials like Xu Ping accounted for the majority. However, the trend cannot be ignored, and the most powerful weapon for officials from the bottom of the Jinshi to rise to the top is to make a fuss about personal morality, attack the officials who occupy high positions, and strive for more opportunities for themselves.
If it is only to take the private virtue requirements represented by Qingliu as a step to advancement, for utilitarian purposes, such an official is actually not difficult to deal with. The scary thing is that some people really take this as their own belief, and then it's tricky.
Sima Chi left Beijing and did not take his son Sima Guang with him, but entrusted him to his old friend Pang Ji to study in Beijing and prepare for the Jinshi exam next year. Sima Guang regarded Pang Ji as his father, and not long ago, Pang Ji presided over the marriage date with Zhang Cun's daughter, and planned to marry after the Jinshi examination next year. Regular gifts, Xu Ping is still a guest.
It was from this junior who was nearly ten years younger than himself that Xu Ping saw the horror of the Qingliu forces. Sima Guang in history, but he didn't have a round room with his wife for a few months after he got married, and slept on his police pillow every day. My friend really couldn't stand it, so after persuading him, he could live a good life with Mrs. Zhang. If the relationship between the husband and wife is not good, it is fine, the problem is that Sima Guang has never had two hearts for his wife, and he will not accept concubines for the rest of his life, and the two of them will grow old, which is a bit scary.
It is terrifying to be able to suffer like this, to live an ascetic life, to read only the books of the sages, and to demand from the officials of his colleagues with his own personal virtues. You tell him about the benefits that governance brings to the people, he tells you the sages and sages, and says that scholars should start with self-cultivation when cultivating Qi and Zhiping, and if you are not right, you can't do anything, are you afraid? Everyone is desperate to be targeted by such officials, and most people have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky. In history, only Wang Anshi, who has the same blameless private morality, can suppress Sima Guang, and he doesn't have to wait for the new policy to be repeated, and he will leave the political center early if he is accused of private morality.
Since Ouyang Xiu, Xu Ping has repeatedly emphasized that he doesn't care about people and deeds, because he is afraid that this kind of clear stream will control the right to speak in officialdom and squeeze out those who really do things. If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? Even Kong Meng has all kinds of jokes, let alone an ordinary person. If the political climate is turned into an eye on the private lives of political opponents, the court will not have to do business. It's good to be strict with yourself, but it's not appropriate to do it to others, and what you think you should do may be superfluous in the eyes of others. Since he is an official, of course, he is talking about his political achievements.
Xu Ping repeatedly demanded that pavilion officials be absorbed into the transformation of folklore, and Xu Ping also intended to use this to counter this trend. The reason why Qingliu is a clear stream is precisely because it is detached from the actual social life and lives in the illusory space of his imagination. A group of like-minded people flatter each other, advertise themselves, and eventually form a kind of ethos. The content they advocate is not bad, and it is even very attractive to ordinary people, but it can't be done in reality.
The pavilion is a good place to cultivate talents, but it is also a hotbed for cultivating this kind of power. If they are not allowed to come out of the door of Chongwen Academy, it will only become more and more violent, and eventually destroy the normal political ecology. In history, after Ouyang Xiu took power in his later years, he once said that the prime minister must use the clear selection of ministers in order to govern the country according to the sage road. If you just follow the rules, you're just an old official. At that time, Qingliu began to officially embark on the stage of history.
There was nothing to do, and Xu Ping repeatedly explained to Tian Qing in the shade of a tree why he had to involve the pavilion officials in these things. If you do not occupy the ideological position, others will occupy it, and there is no room for slackness. It is enough to rely on Li Jing in Guozijian, he can only sort out the general framework and give a direction. In order for this kind of thinking to become the mainstream of society, it is necessary for a large number of people with status and status to advocate and publicize it, so that it can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Tian Guo smiled bitterly in his heart, he naturally understood what Xu Ping said, but it was really difficult to do. Ten years of cold windows finally won a jinshi, and since then it is different from the people in white, you have to turn their heads and appreciate the same things as ordinary people, with joy and joy, anger and sorrow, this is really difficult to do!
Xu Ping also knows that it is difficult, but what can be done? He himself has already attached a label of good management of money and food, a label that has a special relationship with Li Yong and this kind of relative, and a label of the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, one label is enough to be excluded among Qingliu officials, but he has so many on himself.
In the end, Xu Ping said: "This matter is not big, and it is not small." Xiang Da said that what the people of the capital hear every day is these talking tunes, and they can't read the sage books. If you want to lead people to goodness, you must naturally pick what the people like to hear, and use sarcasm in it, so that people know what to do and what not to do. Since the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism has declined, and Buddhism has flourished, how did the monks do it? Just like this, it was first used by monks in temples to tell the story of Buddhism and make people believe in Buddhism. Why can't you put down your body when you get to the reader? Pointing to the heavens and drawing the earth in the study every day, is it possible that everyone can be holy? Involving them in this matter is precisely to make them practice and explain the teachings of the sages to the people. This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, why do you push back and think that you have insulted your identity? You can't do anything without money, that's it, don't mention the fifty guan mentioned earlier, you go and get another 500 yuan, and do this one thing. This set says three points, be sure to let the pavilion participate, so that the elegance and vulgarity are appreciated! ”
Tian couldn't help but be surprised: "Advice, five hundred is not a small amount of money!" For this talk, it costs so much, I'm afraid it will lead others to gossip, right? ”
