Li Shimin's eyes widened, and he looked at Shi Bufan viciously, obviously very angry at Shi Bufan's words. As an emperor, www.biquge.info who doesn't want their country to last forever? And Shi Bufan actually said in front of Li Shimin that it is still unknown whether Datang will still exist after a thousand years. This is obviously saying that the Tang Dynasty will probably perish within a thousand years, which is really provoking Li Shimin. However, Shi Bufan was very calm, obviously not flustered because of Li Shimin's anger.

"Your Majesty, you asked me to tell the truth, but you don't like to hear the truth, so what can I do?" Shi Bufan asked rhetorically.

Li Shimin took a serious breath, and then drank a cup of tea to suppress the shock, and finally said with a wry smile: "Only you are the most courageous, to be honest, I am worried about you!" You dare to say this kind of thing casually, if you change the king, maybe you will have your head on the spot! You're glad you met me, otherwise you wouldn't have enough nine heads to kill! ”

"Because I know that the emperor will not kill me for this!" Shi Bufan said for sure.

"Are you so sure?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically.

"Because I am telling the truth, because the emperor is a wise monarch of you, naturally I will not believe the so-called foolish words of thousands of years. So I think the emperor will definitely approve of my words, at least you won't kill me for a request that will inevitably happen. Actually, if the emperor were a faint king, then I wouldn't say that. Because you are not a faint king, I dare to be so bold. The world said that Pei Ju was a traitor who harmed the Great Sui during the Sui Dynasty and almost perished. But when it came to my Datang, he became an assistant hero, so why not? ”

"To use a folk saying, it's nothing more than watching people play color discs. Emperor Yang of Sui was a short-tempered person who was anxious to make a performance without regard to any objective laws. So as his courtier, he naturally didn't dare to speak. There are too few people in this world who dare to face the wrath of kings. So I don't think I'm that kind of person, and Pei Ju is not that kind of person. Because we all know that the emperor is a person who can listen to opinions, not the kind of person who can't listen to opinions and doesn't look at the laws. So I think I dare to say it, because I know you better about the emperor. ”

Li Shimin finally smiled, sat down and said, "That being the case, then tell me, why don't I have a thousand years in Datang?" You don't have to worry that I'll pursue you. ”

"There is no thousand-year-old dynasty in this world, because you can't guarantee that every descendant of you, Emperor, will be as virtuous as you." Shi Bufan replied.

"......" Li Shimin has nothing to say, because it really can't guarantee that every one of his descendants is like himself, so this Li Shimin can't refute.

Li Shimin asked rhetorically: "Can that be solved?" ”

"There is no solution, as long as it is the world, it is no solution!" Shi Bufan replied.

"Family world, if you really remember it well, the word 'family world' comes from "Han's Yiyan", which once said that the five emperors are in the world and the three royal worlds are in the world. The family is passed down to the son, and the official is passed on to the virtuous. Li Shimin replied.

Shi Bufan nodded and said, "This is also the time when we in Huaxia went from the official world to the family world, and it started from the Five Emperors and Three Emperors. Since then, my Huaxia has changed from an official world to a family world, which is why there is the current Tang Dynasty. ”

The ancients divided this period of three emperors and five emperors into five emperors and officials, which actually refers to the time of the Zen concession system. The so-called official actually has the meaning of public, which represents the meaning of everyone working together in the public. Therefore, in ancient times, the official government was also called "Gongfu", and the official world was later called the public world. During the period of the Five Emperors, it was a Zen concession system, and in the period of the Three Emperors, it became a hereditary system of the world. Of course, this hereditary system is actually a historical necessity, and it is impossible to reverse this.

"Confucianism has always advocated the adoption of the official world, believing that the period of the Five Emperors was the best era in the world. And since the world of the family, it is far less than the period of the Five Emperors. ”

Perhaps many descendants have completely misinterpreted Confucianism, believing that Confucianism is actually a defense of feudal kings. However, Confucianism has always advocated a Datong society, and they praised the Five Emperors period the most, not the so-called Zhou Dynasty. In fact, the traditional philosophical thought of Confucianism is still dominated by the official world, which is the so-called public world. This official does not mean an official position, but a public meaning.

Confucianism has always advocated restricting the power of the king, and even many times have been trying to curb the power of the king, whether it is public or private, they are trying to limit the power of the monarch, so it is indeed biased to say that he is a slave. Although he has been misinterpreted, is there still less misinterpretation? Many Confucians want to find a balance as much as possible between the public world and the family world, so they will choose the public world when they reach a relative balance between the family world and the public world. However, there is a serious contradiction between the ruling world and the public world, and they also do not mind changing the dynasty.

Therefore, although the family world is an inevitability of historical productive forces and is to reduce the cost of power transfer, Confucianism is also trying to limit the power of the king, and strive to make the family world as close to the public world as possible. If you look at it from the perspective of later generations, this kind of behavior of Confucianism is too difficult. With the social consciousness generated by the productive forces of ancient times, it is impossible to truly realize the public world. As for the centralization of monarchy, this is actually a historical necessity. If centralization is not taken to the limit, then the idea of decentralization will not arise either. Only when the king concentrates power to the peak will the so-called democratic ideas be "forced out". The continuous centralization of power by kings is a historical necessity, and this is actually the case both in China and abroad.

As for some people who specialize in digging up the "black materials" of those Confucian students, then there is really nothing to say about such an extraordinary time. They dig up the shortcomings, but they never say where the advantages are, which must make people see the dark side. Specifically digging up the shortcomings of Confucianism, that is, the various theories and explanations that Confucianism came up with in order to consolidate the royal power. However, it deliberately ignored the ideal of the official world advocated by Confucianism, as well as the ideal of Datong society. In fact, any doctrine has its good side, but it also certainly has its shortcomings.

If you just see the shortcomings, it will naturally look all black. And if you just see the advantages, it is also extreme. Confucianism has always advocated moderation, which is actually a way to avoid extremism. Only the mean, in the position of the mean, will not cause extreme ideas. Whether it is the extreme left or the extreme right, it is also inappropriate. Therefore, this kind of thinking of moderation is actually beneficial, but some people thoroughly understand moderation as a weak and incompetent wall, which shows that Confucianism is a wall grass, which means that he has not learned moderation at all.

As for the black materials that are specifically looking for Confucianism, then Shi Bufan has nothing to say. Because Shi Bufan knows that he studies history and law, he knows an old saying, and there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add. In ancient times, there was no excuse for the sin you wanted to add, it was actually very simple, as long as you wanted to frame a certain person, then everything in him was wrong, even if it was right, it could be said to be wrong. Because literature is like that, if you say it in different languages, that sentence can also be said in different ways. If you look at the same content with a different worldview, you will naturally see different things.

But just because your worldview is like this, you also think that this thing is completely broken, so this is naturally "extreme". What's more, as long as people with ulterior motives deliberately impose on him, they will always be able to find a reason. There is no need to do much about this, because it is impossible for a person not to say a wrong word in his life, it is impossible not to do a wrong thing, and it is impossible to avoid all his words and deeds from being misinterpreted by future generations.

As long as you are willing to deliberately misinterpret it, you will always be able to find a reason, and this is the sin that you want to add to it. When Confucius died, he had no idea that he would become a future master of all ages, let alone know that his words and deeds would be used as a guide by future generations. As a result, everyone has taken a "basis" for their own behavior from him, and everyone has misinterpreted his words intentionally or unintentionally, so what can he do? As a result, it was others who benefited, but he himself fell into the black pot for the back.

Those feudal kings deliberately only advocated the Confucian "monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons", but they did not mention the other "Datong society" and the official world advocated by Confucianism, intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, later generations think that Confucianism is a doctrine that upright and out of place to maintain feudal rule is a doctrine to maintain the power of feudal kings.

Every doctrine has its advanced side, but it definitely has its backward side. The same is true of Confucianism, which has its advanced side and its backward side, and if we grasp the backward side and never mention any of its merits and merits, then we will be backward no matter how we look at it. It's like some people grasp some things when a great man makes a mistake and completely ignore his credit, so how can you see this great man as a bastard in the end!

Confucius carried too many black cauldrons, and he was completely carrying the black cauldron for later feudal kings. The things in his remarks that did not conform to the times were used vigorously, and he was scolded in the end. Who has not had such erroneous remarks and wrong deeds? Everyone has had this kind of time, and as a result, some people cling to these shortcomings, and no matter how you look at it, they are all bad.

"Confucianism in all dynasties thought that the five emperors were good in the world, but why did they come to the world? Then do you think it's better to be an official in the world or a family in the world? Li Shimin asked.

"At least in the era of the Three Emperors, the family world is good and progressive!" Shi Bufan said.

"Oh? Do you think so? "Li Shimin feels strange.

According to Li Shimin's understanding of Shi Bufan, his Shi Bufan is in favor of Confucianism, and he is not the kind of person who rejects Confucianism. Confucianism throughout the ages has always believed that from the official world to the family world, it is actually a kind of regression, and it is a regression of society. In fact, many ancient Confucians have not only once criticized the official world to the family world is a regression, in fact, Confucianism has always agreed that it is the official world, the model of the Zen concession system, because this Zen concession system is inherited by talents, not by father and son. And the virtuous are the foundation that can guarantee the rule, and the Confucian scholars actually want to be this leader?

So in terms of power and ambition, in fact, they all agree with this official world. Because anyone who has some ability will think that he is a "virtuous person" and wants to sit in that supreme position. Therefore, this method of using ship talents is the most suitable for their ambitions. But the reality is that they have to compromise with the world, so many ancient Confucians scolded the world, but it would be just scolding.

"Back then, it was a helpless choice to go from the official world to the family world. Because the world is public, it is not suitable for this method. Because every Zen concession is a transfer of power, it has experienced too much bloody rain, so it can't withstand such consumption. In this way, this kind of stability and inheritance of the family world will be adopted. Confucianism has always advocated the patriarchal system, and the patriarchal system actually has its good side, that is, to maintain stability. In fact, the patriarchal law is intended to maintain stability, and the theory of the monarch and the father and son is also to maintain stability. Otherwise, the world will be even more turbulent, and there will be no peace. ”

Shi Bufan has both history and philosophy, and the transformation of this official world into a family world is due to his inevitability. And this inevitability is also the productive forces, and when the productive forces produce surplus value, this process will inevitably appear, both in China and abroad. But the ancients couldn't see through it, so the ancients couldn't see through this process, and subconsciously thought that it was a regression for the family world to replace the official world. In fact, slavery is more advanced than the clan and tribal system, and it is a relatively more advanced social system. Maybe ordinary people are indulged in the so-called Zen system of selecting talents and talents, but in fact, the clans and tribes are no longer in line with the productivity of the time, and they will naturally be eliminated.

The long river of human history has its own inherent context, and he will correct it by himself. If a model of social organization that does not conform to the productive forces of this era is adopted, it will inevitably be forcibly corrected by the torrent of history in the end. For example, Wang Mang, so productivity is the foundation, if it does not conform to the policy of productivity, it will be forcibly revised by the torrent of history.

"At that time, only the family of the world could maintain the stability of the world as much as possible. Maybe the family world will be turbulent once in hundreds of years, but if the official world has been used back then, it will often be decades or even less than a few decades, and there will be a turbulent era. Therefore, the family world may be able to last for hundreds of years, but the official world was only a few decades back then. The lesser of the two phases is the advantage of the world. Shi Bufan said.

Li Shimin asked rhetorically: "Aren't you afraid, your remarks will bring great turmoil to the Confucians?" ”

In ancient times, many Confucians were biased towards the public world, not the so-called maintenance of the supreme power of the monarch. Therefore, Shi Bufan is so blatant that his position is protected by the world, which makes many Confucians dissatisfied.

"Don't be afraid! The truth may be late, but it will not fail to come. Shi Bufan replied.

Li Shimin then asked, "Then do you think I am good or evil?" I know that maybe in this world, you are the only one who dares to tell me the truth. No one else dares to tell the truth, only you dare to tell the truth! I want to know if I'm right or wrong in your eyes. I mutiny to seize the throne, and perhaps this will be a stain that I will not be able to erase for the rest of my life, even after my death. So, I want to know whether I am right or wrong in your eyes, in the eyes of people who really dare to tell the truth. Am I right or wrong? ”

"Am I right or wrong, you say?"

Shi Bufan heard the confusion in Li Shimin's heart, maybe according to traditional thinking, Li Shimin's behavior is indeed a bastard, but Li Shimin doesn't want it in his heart. Li Shimin staged the Xuanwumen coup, perhaps forced. Of course, this forced is not really being held hostage with a knife to launch him. It's because he has so much on his back that he has to do it. Maybe he, as a politician, knew there was nothing he could do about it. But as an ordinary person, it is still a little difficult to accept in terms of conscience. He wanted to get an answer from Shi Bufan, and he hoped to give him an answer that he could reassure himself. (To be continued.) )
