Xingning Fang in Chang'an City is where the Tongwen Museum is located. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoXingningfang is close to the north of the city, the location is not good, it is better to be close to the market, there are too many people coming and going, and the fish and dragons are mixed. The Goryeo delegation in Tongbunkan has been stranded in Dashun Kyoto for nearly a month, and Ambassador Choi Kai-an has been trying to restart border trade between the two countries, but has not made any progress.

Choi Jie'an, the ambassador of Goryeo, was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He would definitely not be able to agree to Lu Chengqi's territorial claims, and he would send people back to China to ask for the king's opinion, but he would not be able to wait for news for a while.

Since Dashun stopped providing food, the daily eating of the Goryeo mission, which was as many as 50 people, was a big problem. The consumption level of Chang'an City is also high, and a meal for fifty people is equivalent to eating in Goryeo for half a month. The property brought by the individual was quickly consumed, and now he can only use the money from the "tribute trade" to get by, and his life is miserable.

Just when Cui Jie'an was at a loss, suddenly a subordinate carried a letter, rushed in in a panic, and shouted: "Lord Cui, someone outside has lost a letter and come in, it says that Lord Cui personally opened it, but I don't know who wrote it......"

With that, the man panted and handed the letter to Cui Jie'an. Cui Jie'an took the letter suspiciously, the Chinese characters on the envelope, the pen is strong, and he knows that it is a good hand.

Cui Jie'an is also a calligraphy lover, quite admired the previous dynasty Liu Gongquan, Yan Zhenqing and others, now see this handwriting is quite style, Yan Muscle Liu Gu is not an exaggeration, can't help but secretly praise a good sound.

Carefully open the letter, for fear of accidentally damaging the letter inside. It's just that the content of the letter is not very good, and the handwriting is already very valuable. After taking out the letter, he spread it out and saw that it was the same handwriting, Cui Jie'an couldn't help but imitate it, and he didn't read the letter for the first time.

After a long time, Cui Jie'an sighed: "China can produce many people, that is, a person with a low reputation, and he also has such a good hand." It is worthy of being the country of China. It's much higher than our small state......"

After complaining about himself, Cui Jie'an paid attention to the content of the letter. As soon as he read two lines, he exclaimed in shock: "This ...... The Epistle. Who sent it? ”

The man was still listening attentively, and when he saw that Cui Jie'an finally got the point, he hurriedly said: "I don't know who it is, I just found this letter in the backyard, and I don't know who it is." When was it thrown in. Without...... If I hadn't waited to go to the stables to check on the horses, I wouldn't have seen this letter......"

Cui Jie'an frowned, and after reading the letter quickly, he pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "Call everyone, I have something to say." ”

The man did not dare to slack off, and after taking his leave, he gathered all the people of the Goryeo mission in the hall. Cui Jie'an raised the letter in his hand and said, "This is a letter that I just discovered. It says that if we want to force Dashun to comply, we must act according to the plan in the letter. I took a look at it and thought it was quite feasible, so I'm here to ask you for your opinions. ”

Seeing that everyone below was listening to him, Cui Jie'an's vanity was most satisfied. Unlike Dashun, in Goryeo, under the influence of the Hu people, the high and low hierarchies are strict, and Dashun can't catch up. Cui Jie'an talked about the content of the letter. The rest of the people didn't dare to speak, waiting for Cui Jie'an to finish his opinion and let them speak before they dared to speak. Otherwise, you will definitely be wearing small shoes in the future.

Cui Jie'an finished his words slowly. The deputy envoy of Goryeo said suspiciously: "Dashun's talents, are they really so good at instigating?" ”

Cui Jie'an sneered: "Dashun has forced us to have no way out, and now this is the only way to let Dashun know that we are not easy to mess with." Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, let alone us Goryeo? ”

The rest. didn't dare to express their opinions, and they all waited for Cui Jie'an to give orders. Cui Jie'an greatly satisfied the style of pointing out the country, and only then said word by word: "You are all knowledgeable people in the Goryeo Kingdom, even in Dashun, you can be regarded as a leader." Now you write articles and send them to newspapers, inciting those showmen to confront people, I don't believe it, these shows will not be fooled? ”

The deputy envoy of Goryeo patted his ass and said: "Lord Cui's move is really high, it is really wonderful!" In this way, Dashun has no time to deal with this matter. Wait for our men to turn back with the will of my king, and see what the little emperor will do!" ”

Cui Jie'an was slapped on the heart by his sycophant, shook his head triumphantly and said, "Yes, that's what it looks like." Hmph, this little emperor doesn't take us seriously, do we still take Dashun seriously? Mute the waters a little more, and see how you end up! ”

The Goryeo envoys all held their breath, and there was no need for Cui Jie'an to say more, they were all beating their stomachs. Why is Cui Jie'an so sure that the newspaper will accept their articles? Because of the scolding war between readers, there is a shortage of writers in various newspapers, and some people are naturally welcome.

The people also love to read it, and they make a lot of money, and driven by profits, these newspapers publish such articles one by one. At the same time, it brought about the development of the printing industry, and one by one printing workshops sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they have been opened from Chang'an City to Chang'an City.

The Supervision Department did not expect that the Goryeo Mission, which had always been respectful, would suddenly resort to a shady trick. Now, their attention is focused on the Kyoto officials, and they are making every effort to investigate the "Wutai Concert Case" and relax their surveillance of the Tongbunkan. That's when someone drilled a leak and hatched this poisonous plan.

What are the emperors of all dynasties afraid of? One is the rebellion, which shows that his rule is not stable; The second is that the literati make trouble, which shows that the scholars all over the world do not agree with this court. Why did the Great Shun Dynasty dare not let the literati discuss political affairs since the establishment of the dynasty? I'm afraid that they will be too emotional and take the lead in making trouble!

Lu Chengqi was an angry young man in his previous life, so he naturally couldn't stand the political atmosphere that was too depressing. The original intention of the decree to open the way of speech is good. But in this way, the risk increases.

Here, I want to talk about why we should respect Confucianism. Dong Zhongshu offered Confucianism to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gladly accepted it. Because in Dong Zhongshu's mouth, Confucianism can gather people's hearts and form an unprecedentedly consistent empire.

From this point of view, Confucianism is very good, because it is not a narrow national concept, but as long as you learn from our Chinese civilization, you will not be regarded as a barbarian. Doing so is conducive to the integration of nationalities and ideologies. In this respect, Confucianism has a positive effect.

But Confucianism also has drawbacks, which are undeniable. First of all, too much attention is paid to the rituals and rituals, and the concept of hierarchy is too heavy, which suppresses people's individuality and creativity. Second, too much emphasis is placed on interpersonal relationships and the exploration and transformation of the natural world is despised "Say but don't do, believe and be ancient", don't you see, the four major inventions were all produced in China, but they can only be carried forward abroad? Confucianism also places too much emphasis on the role of morality and lacks the spirit of the rule of law. For a long time, power has slowly become a poisonous wine, rather than benefiting the people. The most undesirable thing is to elevate the "golden mean" to a methodology, distorting and distorting the golden mean, and over time, under the influence of Confucianism, the Chinese people have gradually formed a tendency not to break through, dare not fight, and covet comfort and pleasure. In the official history, those who were corrupted by this kind of thinking were not only the Jurchens and Mongols?

If we want to get rid of the drawbacks of Confucianism from the root, we don't rely on the development of utensils, not on the development of commerce, so that it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and has no great effect. Power is a substance comparable to strong sulfur and acid, and when it slowly erodes, even the largest empire will collapse. If you want to cure the root cause, you can't respect Confucianism alone, all the sons of a hundred schools, a hundred flowers can bloom! (To be continued.) )
