Chapter 234: The Son of Heaven's Worries

Liu Che opened the scriptures, and his eyes were lined with fly-headed ancient li, Dong Zhongshu's font was very good-looking, and the ancient clumsiness of the small seal had both a dusty and unworldly style.

"The minister majored in "Ram Spring and Autumn" and minored in Zhou Li, and once sat down with Han Taifu to discuss the Tao, and painstakingly collected and compiled into a book for many years, and this article is the beginning of the main discussion."

The predicate of the Mandate of Heaven is sexuality, the predicate of recklessness is the Tao, and the predicate of cultivation is teaching.

Those who are in the Tao must not be separated from it, but they can be separated, and they are not Taoists.

Therefore, a gentleman is cautious of what he does not see, and fearful of what he does not hear.

Dong Zhongshu held the scriptures in his hand to preach the scriptures, since he came to Chang'an City to open his eyes, in the past two years, he has changed the habit of saying that heaven and man sense the way of yin and yang, and lectured on the Confucian path of benevolence and etiquette.

Lang Zhong ordered Shi Jian to bury the case and worked hard to write a book, and Zhan Shi Shi Qing personally sharpened the ink for his brother, and the two looked nervous for fear of missing a certain sentence if they were not careful.

Liu Che smiled when he heard the word "mean", the emperor likes the word "mean" the most, because of the mean and obedient obedience, Wan Shijun Shi Fen is a "mean" submissive minister, Emperor Wen of Han likes Wan Shijun, Emperor Jing of Han also likes Wan Shijun, if it is not for Wan Shijun who is too old, the Son of Heaven must invite him to be the prime minister.

The Shi family is a good courtier, obedient and sensible, cautious, never a troublemaker, for the sake of the Son of Heaven in public and private, a model for the ministers in the eyes of the emperor, and an example of civil and military officials.

It's a pity that the Son of Heaven flaunts Wan Shijun's great achievements, but he can't get an enthusiastic response from the civil and military officials, who are not only the courtiers of the Son of Heaven, but also a man of flesh and blood, and no one wants to be a loyal dog of the Son of Heaven for no reason.

Liu Che praised Shi Jian for his intelligence and ability on different occasions, just like throwing flattery to a blind man, no minister jumped out to flatter enthusiastically, let alone say some words that the emperor expected, such as I want to be the second Shi family.

Dong Zhongshu has his reason for changing his temperament, and Jinmamen has been edicted for more than half a year. Repeatedly went to Weiyang Palace to meet the Son of Heaven, and often talked about the induction of heaven and man into disasters, and every time he would say that "the country will be defeated." And the heavens are the first to come out of the calamity to condemn it, and they don't know how to introspect themselves. and out of the strange to warn of it, but do not know how to change, and the injury is even defeated. ”

The more the celestial sense said, the fewer times the Son of Heaven summoned him, and in recent months, he has not even summoned once, which is far less powerful than his best friend Gongsun Hong.

Dong Zhongshu keenly felt that the emperor hated the induction of heaven and man, at least he did not like to overemphasize the theory of the induction of heaven and man, and half of the three strategies of heaven and man he mentioned were very much in line with the emperor's mind.

Although the celestial induction is not pleasing. But the divine right of the monarch is very popular with the emperor.

The deposition of the hundred schools and the commendation of the Six Classics were immediately vetoed, but the Spring and Autumn Period was unified, and the emperor was deeply valued.

Taixue has already been completed, and the restructuring of talent promotion is also underway, and opposing Ren Zi's selection has no effect for the time being.

Half of the three strategies of heaven and man were wrong, and Dong Zhongshu's self-confidence was also hit, if it weren't for the emperor's concerns about keeping him by his side, Dong Zhongshu should have been beaten far away to the vassal country as a middle-level bureaucrat.

After experiencing the blow of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion sweeping away, he studied in the Marquis of Weiqi's Mansion for two years. Dong Zhongshu's personal political literacy has been greatly improved, and he at least knows how to seize the opportunity to do what he likes.

Today, the Son of Heaven is a great ruler. The emperor must be promising, the courtiers must do nothing, the monarch cannot collide with the ministers, Qin Shi Huang does not need to manage the middle, and one of the two must make concessions.

Dong Zhongshu is talking about the chapter of the golden mean in the "Book of Rites", at this time the "Rites" and "Rites" in the Thirteen Classics have not yet come out, and the remaining "Book of Rites" is a scattered chapter of the Confucius era, and only a few paragraphs of text remain in the mean, and the rest of the content lies in the free swing of the speaker.

Liu Che listened to it with relish, a few years ago he was not in the mood to listen to the Confucian doctrine of benevolence and etiquette. At that time, he was still a prince, young and vigorous, and he was not used to the old-fashioned system. It took three years for the emperor to realize that Confucianism did have merit, and it is no wonder that even Cao Shi himself attached great importance to Confucianism. The theory of benevolence and propriety has a great role in promoting the stability of the imperial court in charge of the country.

What's even more wonderful is the idea of centralizing power and respecting the king, even if there is a "Treatise on the Death of Qin" as the foundation, it cannot curb the emperor's centralization ambitions.

Ambition is not a conscious action, but embodied in the disposal of each government affairs, the more the Son of Heaven feels that the efficiency of the existing system in handling government affairs is too low, fortunately he also saves the system change will bring a huge impact, warn himself not to change at will, but personal tendencies will inevitably produce a certain deviation, the Son of Heaven's heart has changed.

The lecture gradually came to an end, Dong Zhongshu retreated, and the Xuanshu Hall was restored to tranquility.

"Your Majesty, the princes gathered in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion for a closed-door meeting."

Liu Che's face remained unchanged: "Did you find out the main content of their meeting?" ”

"I haven't found out yet, and the princes are tight-lipped, but according to the insider's observation, the princes look happy, not as worried and angry."

"Then don't worry about them, a group of lieges can't turn the sky."

"Whoa."

Everyone retreated, and Liu Che snorted: "What a Tian Wei, he can actually yin my hand, the liehou and I are suspicious of each other, and they are scheming." ”

Liu Che will not admit that his mind has changed, it must be Tian Wei who lured him to make a big mistake, he is still inseparable from the full support of the princes for the time being, once it leads to violent political turmoil, the newly pacified Sanyue and Yelang Kingdom will have to rise again, and Chang'an City will blow bloody rain again.

Cao Shi's silent response made him very uneasy, but he verbally expressed his gratitude to Tianzi Longen, Zhuang Zhu couldn't see more details, Yulin Cavalry is the elite trained by Cao Shi, 15,000 people are all from the military merit system, more than 1,000 people died and were quickly replenished, and 8,000 heavy cavalry are trained to look good, and the seventeen or eighteen-year-old strong guy can gallop back and forth in the south of the city on a war horse in heavy armor, and it can almost be formed in two or three years.

At this juncture, it is not cost-effective to break up with the liehous, even if you want to clean up the liehous, you should not do it in the past few years, Liu Che has already made up his mind in his heart, there are many more meritorious liehous, only two or three of the useful liehous can be left, which people are useful and which people are useless can be seen clearly, and cleaning up the redundant liehous can also recover many rich counties and counties, which has a great boost to the imperial court's taxation.

Liu Che thought a lot, two years was enough time for him to think about the relationship between the monarch and the minister, he felt that the ministers in the court were not a problem, the absence of the princes and kings was a problem, and the liehou was not a problem, only the Pingyang Marquis Cao Shi was a big trouble.

Talented, capable, prestige and intimate relationship, dealing with the relationship between the two is related to the trust of the court, once it is not handled well, it will lead to political turmoil, the impact is no less than Zhou Yafu's unjust death of the court lieutenant, and even more than that, will the princes take risks to carry out bloody revenge, whether the princes and kings are at ease to maintain their obedience to the court, the pacification of the south, and the strong neighbors in the north are all troubles.

Liu Che's idea is not to move the basic relationship, Pingyang Hou Cao Shiyi is the right-hand man, but the relationship between the two sides needs to be adjusted, the relationship between the teacher and the student, the brother-in-law and the brother-in-law in the past, will become the emperor and the minister in the future.

Chang'an City fell into an eerie silence, and the rumors of discussion in the market were very strange.

Huainan Hou Liu An got up early in the morning and went out for a walk with a birdcage, walked through the inner door and walked through the streets and alleys to the breakfast shop in the West Market.

"Ouch! The prince came early, and there are some good shrimp dumplings to try today? ”

"Tofu skin bag?"

"You are an expert, it is the tofu skin bag, the river fresh food transported from the north gate this morning, the river shrimp that were still alive an hour ago, the soup base made of chicken soup, with shallots and seasonings, I sure you like it."

Liu An put down the bird cage and teased the wren brother in the cage, this bird is a treasure that his daughter Liu Ling got from Yelang Kingdom, and the wren brother with a yellow face and black hair cannot be seen in the north.

"Squeak quack, Huainan Hou has arrived!" Brother Wren spread his wings and shouted.

The early diners cast curious glances, and one of the good deeds said: "I heard that there is a bird in the south called starling that can speak human language, but this bird is starling." ”

"The name of this bird is Brother Wren, and it is produced in the barren jungle of Southwest Yi." Liu An proudly introduced Brother Wren, I heard that this bird is native to the vicinity of Magadha, and there is a small amount of distribution in the southwest, and the diners' eyes are wide open, for fear of missing the legendary bird.

Magadha is very famous in Chang'an City, up to the court ministers, down to the peddlers and pawns all know the name of Magadha, Magadha is the equivalent of the country of gold in the eyes of Chang'an citizens, Magadha is the equivalent of the country of gold, Magadha is countless, it is said that there is rich in gold, silver, brass, steel, stone honey, gemstones, tortoiseshell, opal and other good things, as well as precious wood and more expensive spices, there is the most worthy of exploration in the eyes of the Western Han people.

Liu An's wren brother is a male and female pair, and the empress dowager who is dedicated to the Linguang Palace of Ganquan Mountain has a pair of wren brothers, the queen mother of Changqiu Palace has a pair of wren brothers, and there is also a pair of wren brothers in the Weiyang Palace of the Son of Heaven, and there is also a pair of wren brothers in the Pingyang Hou Mansion.

Liu Ling also got a lot of new things from the southwest, she has not come back in the south, I heard that she is going to open a trade route to Magadha, this business is the support of the Marquis of Pingyang, and suddenly transformed into a veritable strong woman in the business world, the Huainan Marquis Mansion can maintain the luxury expenses of the princes and kings, all relying on Liu Ling to make money by trafficking goods from the north and the south outside.

"Hey, haven't you heard, the Marquis of Pingyang seems to be dissatisfied with the reward of the Son of Heaven!"

"Who says no, the great merit of destroying the two countries turns into a country, and the great merit of a country is erased for no reason, and no one can be happy to change it."

"I heard that His Majesty is deceived by slander, and there are traitors in the court who are in charge of the way and bring disaster to the country and the people, and this traitor is extremely powerful and prominent in the court."

"You're talking about ......"

"Shhhh Shut up, don't talk if you don't want to get in trouble. ”

Liu An stuffed the shrimp dumplings into his mouth, and the thick soup flowed wantonly in his mouth, secretly sighing that it was really a delicacy in the world, and he didn't know how big the world was until Chang'an.

Within a few years of Ming Tofu, dried tofu, tofu skin, tofu rolls, tofu milk and other soy products sprung up, making him realize the outstanding people of Chang'an City again.

After breakfast, Liu An walked home to play, and halfway through the street he met a dusty knight who crossed the street, slightly surprised: "Isn't this person from the Pingyang Hou Mansion?" I remember that I was supposed to be stationed in the valley of the river, how did I come back? (To be continued)
