There was a low cry, but it was the maid who was pouring the tea who could listen attentively, and the tea overflowed without noticing, splashing on her clothes.

Glancing at the maid who had retreated, Li Xi looked back at Duan Lao Xiucai, who seemed to be shocked by him, and asked angrily: "Teacher, what do these things have to do with the imperial technique you mentioned?" ”

Duan Laoxiu rolled his eyelids for a while before he eased up, glanced at him meaningfully, took another sip of tea, and adjusted his breathing before he spoke: "Slandering Yuanzhi, but it is easy to incur the disaster of insinuation, don't say these things in front of others in the future." ”

The old man's tone was calm, his eyes were clear, and he also pressed Li Xianzheng's boiling mood calmly.

"The old man asked you to read this book, just to see where your heart rested."

He stood up, looked at the green mountains outside the window, and his tone was no longer floating before, condensed like a golden stone, and went straight into Li Shi's heart.

"Do you think that the imperial technique is the imperial mind technique in the common saying?"

Li Shi nodded dumbly, he did feel this way before, and didn't this old man say it himself? Imperial art is the study of the heart of the emperor.

"Pipe-Mental Technique" said, the mind sorcerer, the one who does nothing and controls the trick. Later generations can understand that they can do nothing, and they can handle it, and they can also say it! ”

At this time, Duan Hongshi, there was no trace of the lazy and obscene atmosphere, the whole person was like a misty mountain, and the thick pure breath was faintly overflowing, so that Li Shi also condensed his mind and listened carefully.

"The old man explained, put his mind into nothingness, and enter the avenue! Art, the same as the line, are interpreted as the Tao, what is the Tao? Follow it straight is the way! Later generations interpreted the technique as a strategy of 'unbelievable', and together with the emperor's mental technique, it also lost its original intention, which is very hateful! ”

Li Xian muttered in his heart, literati are literati, and they know how to drill words...... But...... Listening to him say this, the emperor's mind is really not a psychological thing?

"What the old man wants to teach you is the emperor's true way! It is by no means a contemptible trick of those women in the deep grudge workshop who are intriguing and competing for position! ”

Duan Hongshi's words were like a tide, washing Li Shi's heart.

"Don't talk about the world, that is, the literati of the past dynasties, but when it comes to the way of being a king, there is only one 'pro-gentleman, far villain', and on this basis, the talk is deeper, and it is not more than the skill of the courtiers. What is its intention, I will not go into detail for the time being, but it will be said that in the past thousands of years, not only have the world regarded the emperor's mental technique as the art of the imperial ministers, but also extended to the official mental technique and the bureaucratic mental technique, all of which relied on the path of 'bending to seek'. There are also many mediocre monarchs, and they also think that the king can only govern the ministers, the king regards the ministers as concubines, and the ministers regard the monarch as benefactors. ”

This passage actually swept away history, across the monarch and ministers, Li Xian already felt that what he just said was very harsh in this era, but he didn't expect Duan Hongshi to be a big angry young man who sprayed out 3,000 years of history, and he actually bluntly said that the king treats the courtiers as bitches, and the courtiers treat the king as a ladybug, huh...... Deep in my heart......

"Li Shi, let me ask you, in the past three thousand years, how many levels of the emperor has been?"

Duan Hongshi turned around and found Li Shi.

This question is a matter of opinion, and Li Xi has no choice but to offer a popular version of the answer. The Three Emperors and the Five Emperors and the Three Emperors of the Xia and Shang dynasties, they are not emperors and are not evaluated. The first class is naturally the Qin Emperor Han Wu, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Ancestors. Then there was some controversy, and Li Shi chose Hanwen, Guangwu, Tang Gao, Song Gao, and Ming Taizu and Chengzu, which were second. Others are counted as the third class, and the king of the dead country is counted as the fourth class. The criterion is the influence of history, not personal preference, based on the perception of the surname. As for Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, and even Manchu Tatar...... Die...... There are no such things in the sequence of the surname, which is also the conclusion reached after the surname of the surname.

"You're also philistine!"

Duan Hongshi said lightly with disdain, Li Xian was not convinced, and pouted and waited for him to have something amazing.

Unexpectedly, Duan Hongshi's words changed, and he did not continue to elaborate positively, but talked about the main topic that should have been developed a long time ago.

"The old man despised the art of the imperial ministers, but he didn't say that it was not an imperial technique, but it was just the most basic level of the imperial technique, such as this boy entering Mongolia. If you don't even know the art of the courtiers, then you are a dumb king, even if you are not controlled by the courtiers in the world, things will be a mess after your death. ”

By this time, the old man finally vomited the real thing.

"The imperial technique studied by the old man is divided into three classes, the imperial ministers are the lowest level, there is the imperial system on it, and the top is the imperial power."

He looked at Li Shi, as if he was using Li Shi as an example.

"Why do the ministers have to ask for it? It's just the word "literacy"! Knowing people and using them, if they don't fit, they will move, and if they are abandoned, what is the difficulty? "Han Feizi - Determining the Law" said, the sorcerer, because of the appointment of the official, according to the name and responsibility, the handle of killing, the ability of the ministers, this person is also the master, this is what he says. ”

Li Shi raised his hand, he disagreed with this view.

"The emperor's employment should also be a university question. Speaking of past dynasties, there are not too many examples of rise and fall due to ministers, such as Huo Guang, An Lushan, such as Wang Anshi, such as Zhang Juzheng, such as Yuan Chonghuan......"

"Are these people on the throne because of people, or because of the times?"

Duan Hongshi asked rhetorically, which immediately made Li Shi speechless, the essence of this question is "History was created by great men, or did history create great men?" He didn't have an answer.

"It's not just because of the time, these people are born because of the time!"

Duan Hongshi's conclusion was very clear, and the topic also shifted to the second level.

"So what is time?"

Then Duan Hongshi was like a middle school teacher, and he was tempted step by step.

"Time is system, and here we talk about the imperial system. The so-called 'system' is 'economic system'. The momentum is like the monsoon, and the time is the change of the monsoon between the moons, and the times are connected together, and they become history. At the beginning of each dynasty, the warp system was condensed, and if you can control this warp system, it can be regarded as the second level of understanding the imperial art. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xian began to understand Duan Hongshi's train of thought a little, and he sighed slightly in his heart, this old man is really not a sour Confucian, such a thing is not something that can be read in a sage book.

"If the emperor can control the system, he can choose his ministers, and the ministers follow the system and pursue profits. The emperors who waited this time, even if their scheming was far inferior to those emperors whose wisdom was only placed on the courtiers, could borrow the power of the warp system, and their achievements were far higher than those who only knew how to deal with their courtiers. ”

Speaking of which, Duan Hongshi began to give an example.

"You just mentioned Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, and the two Divine Sects behind them, and the descendants are all overly praised. It can be seen from the old man's point that only those two Divine Sects are stronger than most emperors. When the two of them were in power, regardless of the success or failure of national politics, the situation in the court was at least stable. ”

Alas!?

Li Shi raised his hand again, there is a big problem here. Song Shenzong didn't say it, Mingshenzong, that is, Wanli, was a big bull who didn't go to court for thirty years and fought against the entire civil and official system. Many historians believe that whether it is the three major expeditions of Wanli or the neglect of Wanli, it is an important reason for the death of the Ming Dynasty.

"Those who write the history of the Yuan Dynasty and those who write the history of the Ming Dynasty have different intentions, but the actions of the pen are the same."

Duan Hongshi said this in a low voice, Li Xian's heart also jumped, he subconsciously went to find Duan Hongshi's eyes, but the old man turned his gaze.

Although Duan Hongshi's point of view is debatable, Li Xian also has to admit that these two emperors are indeed not puppets, let alone inaction. Song Shenzong used Wang Anshi to change the law, and Mingshenzong enjoyed Zhang Juzheng's change, these two periods are the two major thresholds of Chinese history.

Thinking of this, Li Shi began to accept Duan Hongshi's classification standards, indeed, being able to grasp Duan Hongshi's so-called "economic system" also grasped the key to the national political and imperial situation, and on this basis, the power of the courtiers was much weaker, and the ministers were close to the national political situation. Of course, the actual historical context is not so simple, and there are too many factors mixed in it, but if you take out such a context and look at it alone, at least the criteria for judging the achievements of the emperor are much clearer.

"So...... The royal power is basically reserved for the founding emperor, right? ”

Li Shi made an inference, Duan Hongshi nodded, but shook his head again.

"There is a difference between heaven and earth, and the old man has not yet understood the momentum of the sky, he can only see the terrain. In terms of topography, your statement is barely accurate, but some emperors are missing. ”

Duan Hongshi began to give examples again, and this time Li Shi felt less abrupt.

"Emperor Qin, martial arts are the most prosperous, but the rule of culture is blank, and the Great Qin Dynasty is destroyed in an instant, he just mentioned the future. Henkel took advantage of this front to lay the back trend, and Han Wen stabilized the residual tide with the rule of Huang Lao, and these three people can be regarded as dividing the general trend. ”

Yo ho, this old man's vision is really high, and the three people of Qinhuang, Hangao, and Hanwen are added up to be considered a first-class.

"Han Wu, a unique trend, this momentum has rippled in China for thousands of years, until now, he is alone and has a momentum!"

Speaking of this, Duan Hongshi's tone also seemed a little tangled, Li Xian thought to himself, could it be that this is a monster who hates Confucianism? Not to mention the martial arts of the Han Dynasty, the exclusive respect for Confucianism has indeed influenced the entire history of China.

"After that, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, a unique trend, in terms of dynasties, although Yang Guang failed to keep his business, but Tang Gao and even Taizong were all stained with the rest, but it was just a success, and the history books praised Tang Yi, but not the Sui Dynasty, which was very unfair."

Li Xi nodded, the evaluation of the Sui Dynasty in later generations was indeed much higher, and he could barely accept this point of view.

"If it comes to homeopathy, the two brothers of Song Taizu and Taizong are the best among them, but because they are too homeopathic, they have to be confined to the economic system and fail to go further, and the old man doesn't think they have anything special."

Li Shi confirmed that this old man really had a grudge against Confucianism, the Song Dynasty was the so-called most prosperous dynasty in China, and the treatment of scholars was the best, but in the eyes of Duan Hongshi, he was just enjoying the dividends of the previous dynasty, and Zhao Da and Zhao Er still shrank back. Combined with the current situation, the economic system or something, Li Xi felt that this old man's imperial mental skills were estimated to be the things of the Legalists, didn't he directly quote the words of "Han Feizi" just now.

Then Duan Hongshi's tone was low.

"In addition to the Han Wu Sui Wen, the one who has risen again is the former Ming Taizu, and it is a pity that this trend is ...... Alas. ”

At this time, the topic of Duan Hongshi came back.

"Let you look at the food and goods chronicles of the Yuan History, which is to let you understand the future situation known to the former Ming Taizu. The kings of the founding of the country in the past dynasties have taken the previous dynasty as a reference. The former Ming Taizu attributed the Yuanzhi to the publicity of the Song Dynasty, so he did not even have a hundred years of national fortune, so he tried to retro. Although there are many literati behind him, his personal likes and dislikes are also an important reason. ”

Well!?

Li Xian was really shocked, what he said was that Zhu Yuanzhang was overkill and set the national policy of the early Ming Dynasty to completely suppress business, which affected the Ming generation. This national policy was like a nightmare, haunting the emperors after him, and also dragging down the pace of Huaxia to continue to be at the forefront of civilization in the Ming Dynasty.

Listening to Duan Hongshi's words, he was obviously denying Zhu Yuanzhang's national policy, and at the same time sighed at the sinking of the trend of China, which was a point of view that the ancients could have three hundred years ago?

In his previous life, Li Xian didn't know much about historical theories, so he came into contact with some popular books such as Huang Renyu, and he had a little ignorant concept of "big historical view", but such a concept was obviously difficult for the ancients buried in the sage books to have, even if he broke free from Confucianism, he did not have the fine scientific vision of later generations to reorganize history.

This Duan macro time...... What exactly is the origin?

This question once again violently swept through Li Shi's thoughts.
