Lu Zhe and his uncle discussed the feasibility and adaptability of the three provinces and six departments in the empire, and the uncle informed him of this matter, so it is almost equal to everyone who should know about it.

The scholars of Confucianism have always been big-mouthed, and Confucian scholars in any era have never known what secrecy is, that is, the ideology of Confucianism does not have any words related to "secrecy" at all.

Shusun Tong is very interested in the concept of three provinces and six ministries, and in his senses, this is a bit similar to the co-governance of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, as for how the three provinces and six ministries can be similar to the administrative system of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Lu Zhe said that it is a bit foggy.

The scholars of the Confucian school are really big mouths, they know a certain thing, as long as they want to know, someone invites an insider to a banquet and a drink can clean the bottom.

The emperor has a new idea, and that idea is very likely to change the officialdom of the empire, and after the matter is related to his own interests, some people cannot ignore it.

What is the reason for the bitterness in Zhang Liang's smile? Once the empire changes the administrative system to three provinces and six ministries, the ruling government may continue to exist, but the official position of "governing" will definitely be abolished, and without the position of constructor, many of his ideas will not be implemented.

At the same time, Zhang Liang also had a little joy in his heart, he and many people agreed that the military should be suppressed, once the administrative system is really reformed, the Taiwei Office and the General's Office will be restructured into the Ministry of War, and there will be five departments equal to the administrative status of the Ministry of War, and there will be three provinces above the six ministries. That will form a system in which civilian officials become the top officials of the empire, and it will no longer be a situation in which the military is dominant.

What many people didn't expect was that Lu Zhe extinguished the idea of restructuring into three provinces and six ministries just by mentioning an idea. What he wants is to keep exploring. Once the status of the military declines and civilians begin to rise, it means that the country will be in civilian hands.

Since ancient times, civil officials have not been a group suitable for pioneering, and their position is to govern the locality. Throughout any history book, any expansion of a country is not carried out by the civilian clique, which is the group of people who most want stability, and stability means calm. So where does expansion begin?

What phenomenon will the rise of civilian officials lead to when Lu Zhe thinks about it a little, he will feel terrible, the civilian clique has no ambition to expand the territory, and they spend more of their energy on struggle.

That's right. It is a struggle, because the group of civil officials has always been a collective that is good at fighting, and when there is no enemy, it is the struggle between civilian officials and military officials, and after the military attachés cannot parry, it will evolve into a struggle between civilian officials and civilian officials. The civil servants will divide themselves into parties according to their own ideas. The prelude to the party struggle has also begun.

"So...... Hasn't my father figured out how to improve the system? Lu Yi is face is full of entanglement. He looked at his father and said, "The child thinks that the current system is problematic, but compared to the more terrible system, the current system has not lost its vitality. ”

What Lu Yi meant was that since it had been determined that there would be endless expansion, the superiority of the military bloc could not be changed, and that the system that was already in place had some problems exposed, but it was not fatal.

"Civil ...... O civil servant! Lu Zhe glanced at the not far away, and seemed to be chatting happily. In fact, it is the person who everyone will look at from time to time. He asked Lu Yi: "During the period of imprisonment, the officials who stayed in the imperial capital. Which group is the most diligent looking for you? ”

Lu Yi smiled shyly and said, "Confucian students like to find children the most. ”

Therefore, the literati like to divide factions, and the empire was established in the era when the pre-Qin dynasty had just ended, which was an era when a hundred schools of thought were still active.

"In fact, there is dregs in Confucianism now, but there is also essence." Lu Zhe used to look at Confucianism according to the eyes of later generations, and after really understanding Confucianism, he found that it was not like that at all. He said: "Confucianism is a terrible school of thought, they never rest on their laurels, they will absorb the merits of other schools of thought at the first opportunity, and carry out a kind of academic and intellectual evolution. ”

This is Lu Zhe's cognitive error, in fact, after the deposition of Confucianism during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, all schools of thought were hidden in Confucianism, some of them successfully put on a layer of Confucianism, and more schools that did not put on the coat of Confucianism died out, and some schools that did not die out...... Hehe, it is the norm to be infinitely belittled and insulted by Confucianism, such as "Gong" and "Shang".

Lu Yi blinked, as if he didn't understand what Lu Zhe was saying. But did he really not understand?

There must be a reason why Confucianism can become mainstream in the end, and there is no innocence in the demise of a hundred schools. When Confucianism struggled to supremacy, the hundred schools of thought didn't know whether they found out or not, among the hundred schools, the Huang Lao school, which originally belonged to the dominant position, fought back a few times, and the rest of the schools did not make any moves, and Confucianism ended the dominance of the Huang Lao school by the rulers, and the rest of the hundred schools still did not move.

It is impossible for Lu Yi not to understand, and he also heard his father's recognition of Confucianism in some fields.

What was Lu Zhe thinking? He was thinking about the unity of thought, and such thoughts also appeared in Liu Che.

Why did Liu Che choose to depose Confucianism? It is nothing more than that the thinking of the Han Empire at that time was too chaotic, and there was the "inaction" of the Huang Lao school. What is inaction? Doing nothing means doing nothing! Liu Che is the emperor who wants to rise up, how can he allow inaction!

What is the state of the empire in the near future? Confucianism has been rising up, and at the same time, the Huang Lao school and the miscellaneous schools have suddenly burst out with an unimaginable energy for some reason.

The Empire had been fighting for many years, opening up vast swaths of territory, and those who thought it was big enough that it was time to stop and rest. Because the vast territory they conquered was a kind of no-man's land, they thought that such an expansion was meaningless, so should it be all the more necessary to stop the war?

Lü Zhe's strategy of presiding over state affairs was to constantly start large-scale projects, and some schools of thought ignored it as an act of labor that could be rewarded, and seemed to be blind to the idea that it drove the people too much. The Huang Lao school seized on this point of view, and they also pointed out that there were too many places for officials to manage, and in the long run, it could lead to resentment among the people.

Recently, there is another problem that makes Lu Zhe feel very good. I don't know how it started, but perhaps it was some people who were the first to put forward their views, and then more and more people responded to them, and a public opinion that the law was strict first slowly and then gradually, became a common view in society.

Lu Zheyou asked Yan Bi to supervise in detail and check it around. Maybe those operators are too secretive, maybe it's a spontaneous behavior of people, anyway, Yan Bi didn't find any traces of someone operating.

The harshness of the law existed before the empire was established. At that time, it was pointed to the Qin State alone. The country established by Lu Zhe followed a similar route to the Qin State, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, because it was a troubled era, only the guy whose brain was caught in the door would jump out and accuse him under the premise of using heavy codes in troubled times, so he didn't get much blame.

At present, there is no war within the empire. In a few areas, though, some riots are likely to occur. But that is only a very rare phenomenon, Lu Zhe will not allow the empire to enter the state of "rule by inaction", he doesn't care whether inaction will really evolve into omnipotence, a country that doesn't care about anything may be able to put most people into a state of peace and happiness, but in the long run, it will definitely become a nightmare for the whole nation.

"Maybe it's a good choice to properly support Confucianism?" Lu Yi pondered for a while and said: "Confucianism has an enterprising heart, but their core idea of treating people in the world equally is a little undesirable. ”

Lu Zhe smiled, that's right. The enterprising spirit of Confucianism was exactly what the empire wanted. However, he also knew that "Confucianism treats people in the world equally" mentioned by Lu Yi is really a big trouble.

Who are the "people under heaven" in Confucianism? It doesn't just mean the people of your own people. It also includes the enemies of the clan.

There is also an interesting core idea in Confucianism, that is, "seeking benevolence and obtaining benevolence", which is to put it plainly: those who are Yidi and Huaxia are Huaxia; Those who are in China and Yi Di are Yi Di.

"Those who are Yidi and Huaxia are Huaxia; Those who are in China and Yi Di are Yi Di. "What do you mean? It means that the barbarians have learned the etiquette of China, so the barbarians can be called their own people; The thoughts of one's own people are assimilated with the barbarians, and their own people will also become barbarians.

"Those who are Yidi and Huaxia are Huaxia; Those who are in China and Yi Di are Yi Di. It can't be said that there is something wrong, but since Dong Zhongshu first added his own "material" to Confucian knowledge, Confucianism can be said to be finished!

Confucianism is most criticized for being the "inner king and outer sage", and for a long time, I always felt that the reason why the alien race came to commit the offense was because the alien race was poor and uneducated. Since the alien race is poor and uneducated, Confucianism takes it for granted that the alien race should be taught, such as sending craftsmen and intellectuals to help the alien evolve, and then it is not surprising that every alien who is taught has no gratitude, and any alien who is helped will rush to the country that once gave them favor after growing up.

"Confucianism can be 'implanted', can we add something we want?" Lu Yi blinked innocently and said, "For example, the idea of expanding the territory? ”

Lu Zhe looked at his son's pretended innocence, and was speechless in his heart.

Once...... Oh, it should be said that it was something that hadn't happened yet, and Liu Che did something similar to what Lu Yi said. Liu Che paid exclusive attention to Confucianism, and after supporting it, he added what he wanted, and unified public opinion before waging war against the Xiongnu.

It is not an exception that Confucianism can be implanted by rulers, and Liu Che was able to transform Confucianism into the doctrine he wanted, which was actually a bad start.

Since Dong Zhongshu (Liu Che) can add his own thoughts to Confucian knowledge, does it mean that anyone can do this? It's really anyone who can do that, but the result is that Wang Mang followed, and Wang Mang almost gave the Han Empire a "peaceful transition".

With the lessons of the past, everyone knows what Confucianism is like, the most stubborn is Confucianism, and the easiest to sway is also Confucianism, as long as there is enough strength (or prestige), anyone can fiddle with Confucianism at will, you can be S shape for a while, and then come to an M shape, how to pinch how you want, so there is a saying in later generations, that Confucianism is the ruler's "temperance meat ~ poop ~ device".

In fact, it is precisely because Confucianism is extremely easy to be transformed by powerful people that the result is that Dong Zhongshu first "went up", then Wang Mang, and then Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Yang Shi, Luo Congyan, Li Tong, Zhu Xi, Zhou Dunyi, Zhang Zai, Shao Yong...... The Confucian students who have been "doing" so much have been so "dry", and the results are terrible, and the Confucian students who shouted "Zi Yue" and "sages" in their mouths are no longer learning the original Confucianism, but the Confucianism after being transformed by "adding bricks and tiles".

Can Confucianism be transformed? Lu Zhe may just follow his instincts, but Lu Yi is full of malice.

What is Lu Yi's malice? It was he who really thought that since the discipline of Confucian students changed with the ruler, then there was really no more suitable toy for being a ruler than such a school.

Lu Zhe was thinking that what the empire needed was for a hundred flowers to bloom, and it was absolutely impossible to let any school dominate, or even monopolize any family.

In fact, once there is no competition, it will become a stagnant pool, for schools, and for anything, why not?

Then, new problems arise, and they don't want to become a pool of stagnant water, but many times the confusion of ideas leads to internal disunity, and the empire has already shown similar signs, so everything that is said begins to come out of the water.

"It's a tough nut to solve." Lu Zhe looked at his son with blazing eyes: "Maybe I still have about twenty or thirty years to think about this problem, and I will ...... after you", and the latter words turned into a low murmur that no one could hear clearly.

For Lu Zhe, maintaining the right to speak in the military in his generation is a controllable thing, after all, he is the founding king, and he is also a leader who came out of the battlefield, and most of the generals in the military were cultivated and single-handedly raised by him, and they can be held down steadily by nature.

Lu Yi didn't hear what his father was muttering clearly, but he seemed to understand something.

The emperor and his eldest son chatted while walking, and a large number of people who followed behind also had their own thoughts.

"What will Your Majesty and Your Highness talk about?" There was a faint worry in Luo Shao's eyes, and he said, "If there really are six parts, it may be a disaster for us." ”

Gongwei had just returned to the imperial capital from the northwest border county, and when he heard that the emperor was about to return from his patrol, he came over to greet him. He also showed a worried expression when he heard Luo Shao say that: "The great war on the grassland is about to start, whether Your Majesty will really do that or not, what we can do now is to stabilize the morale of the army."
