PS: See the exclusive story behind "Han Wei Wenkui", listen to your more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter ddxiaoshuo can be), quietly tell me!
Regarding the knighthood system of the Zhou Dynasty, later generations have been arguing endlessly, and when it came to the time and space where Shixun originally lived, it was generally believed that the so-called five titles of duke, marquis, earl, son, and male were all created by Confucianism after the Spring and Autumn Period, or at least after processing and modification, and there was no such clear and perfect system in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Check the original classics and golden texts of the Zhou Dynasty (including the Eastern Zhou Dynasty), the titles of the princes and monarchs are very confusing, first of all, the so-called "viscount" and above, the monarch can be called a certain duke, and then a while called a duke, a while called a marquis, and a while called a son is not a few. And theoretically, the higher the title, the fewer the number, and the lower the title, the more the number should be - it is impossible for a country to have ten marshals, ten generals, and a hundred generals, and then only twenty lieutenant generals and major generals - but all over the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period, the traditional belief is that there are the most marquis and uncles, but the sons and men are pitifully few.
Of course, there are various interpretations of this—there are still many scholars who still believe that the fifth-rank lord system exists—that is, Xun himself's opinion, in fact, the Western Zhou Dynasty divided the princes, and there was no clear hierarchy. In the Jin for the Wang Qingshi, as well as the Song State such as the descendants of the previous dynasty called the duke, outside the Qi for the Hou, the word Hou comes from the Yin Dynasty, referring to the military nobles who guard the place. So as an honorific title of "Gong", the big guys can be called behind closed doors. Bo is the hegemon, which is the honorific title of the monarch who is at a critical juncture and can control multiple princes; Zi is a foreign dependency (such as Chuzi). Men are mostly vassals (such as Xu Nan).
Plainly. The original male, marquis, uncle, son, and male did not become a clear hierarchy system. Some of them are honorific titles, and some of them are of great origin, and it was not until after the Spring and Autumn Period that they were tightly woven by Confucianism (or some other kind of contribution).
The Song Dynasty was the first to be suspicious of the five-rank system in the Zhou Dynasty, and during the Han and Wei dynasties, the big guys were still clinging to the old Confucian doctrine that the fifth-class lordship system existed, and Shi Xun did not think of publishing an academic paper on this issue that might be denounced as "heresy". So he took the opportunity to say it now. Since you don't think it's appropriate to just build a duke for Cao Cao, why don't we directly restore the fifth-class duke of the Zhou Dynasty?
"I inherited the Qin system in the Han Dynasty, made twenty knights, and granted fields and houses. However, since the public scholar has been a long time, he has not been awarded for a long time, and the princes have been divided into pavilions, townships, counties, etc., which is not enough to know the old lords. That being the case, the resumption of the weekly ceremony? ”
The title system of the Han Dynasty was the earliest continuation of the Qin Dynasty. The knights were divided into twenty ranks, from the dukes all the way to the lieges. The eighth rank of the public is commonly known as the "Minju", which can be used to reward people who do not have official positions. This set of things continued until the Northern Song Dynasty, and it had to be taken out from time to time to play around, but after the Tang Dynasty, it was called "Gu Jue", and it was used less and less.
As for the Eastern Han Dynasty, basically this title system was not used much - theoretically there is still zài - only the highest two levels were really used, that is, the nineteenth-rank Guannei Marquis (Qin called Neihou or Lunhou) and the twentieth-class liehou (Shunwu Emperor Liu Che, Chehou renamed), and gradually distinguished from the liehous pavilion marquis, township marquis, and county marquis of different food sizes. So it was Xun who said, since we don't use this set much, let's just change it all, inherit the Zhou ceremony, and restore the fifth-class knight, how about it?
For Confucianism, it was correct to pursue the Zhou Dynasty system - although Wang Mang also admired it, and then the government was extremely incorrect...... Of course, when it comes to practical matters, if you have to say it, you must be an idiot who is stupid in reading. Restore fù Ida? Divide the nations? Even fools know no. But if it only involves the ceremonial system, such as the title system or something, and the proposal is restored, it will not be criticized.
In the original history, the first to propose the resumption of the fifth rank was Cao Wei's minister, Xiangguo Sima Zhao, obviously, this was to lay the groundwork for his own usurpation. Is Hoon bringing this up now? I didn't think about it so much - Cao Cao's usurpation is not ripe yet, and there is no need for me to ambush him, isn't Dong Zhao still there? He simply wanted to mix the water, so that Xun Yu and the others couldn't make a statement on the spot.
It was Hongfu who talked eloquently: "Zuo's. The fifteenth year of Xianggong contains: 'The king and the duke, the marquis, the uncle, the son, the male, the dian, the cai, the guard, and the doctor are among them. The Chinese also has a cloud: "In the past, the king of my ancestors had the world, and the rules were thousands of miles away, and the rest were divided equally between the duke, the marquis, the uncle, the son, and the male, so that each had Ningyu." Beigong Qi asked Mencius: "Zhou Chamber Ban Jue Luye, what is it?" Mencius: "The details are unobstructed. The princes hated it and harmed themselves, and they all went to their homes. However, Ke also tasted the slightest hint of it. One Son of Heaven, one Gong, one Hou, one Uncle, one son, the same male, all the fifth class also ......'"
In this way, he began to endorse a large number of paragraphs, so as to explain that the fifth rank of the Zhou Dynasty was indeed a zài, and it was an effective system of sub-sealing and management. Others wanted to interject many times: Is it true that now that the fifth-class lord is restored, the feudal system will also be restored? It was given to the Cao Cao domain, what other marquis and earl, did it give it to the vassal country? But he directly memorized the ancient books and diverted them. Wait until I finally finish the work, ah, it's already dark, let's disperse today, let's disperse.
Shi Xun didn't expect that someone really took this matter seriously, Xi Xian came to him early the next morning, and he would publish a "Treatise on Feudalism", reorganize the book he had memorized yesterday, and officially establish the imperial court to restore the fifth-class title of the Zhou Dynasty, and it can start with Cao Cao. Xi Hongyu is also a ghost, as the leader of Zhengmen and a scholar of the scriptures, he put forward the proposal of retro, whether it is successful or not, it can be added to the influence of the academic community.
Of course, Shixun's words were not just said to him alone, in the public, he didn't dare to directly covet Tiangong for himself, so he came to Shixun and said that I drafted such a performance, and you should also attach a name. Shi Xun waved his hand: "I know the meaning of Hongyu, and I ...... "I know that you want to make achievements in your own academics, and you also want to take the opportunity to pat Cao Cao's ass-" Ran Xun is suspicious, and he cannot be signed. "The former purpose is just that, I'm too lazy to rob you, for the latter purpose, I'm the in-laws of the Cao family. You have to avoid suspicion in this matter. It is inconvenient to express one's position directly.
Xi Xian has said hello to Shixun. He was able to achieve great success on his own, and he went happily at the moment. Shi Xun lowered his head and thought about it, if he really regained the fifth rank, he might be able to make an earl...... It would be best if the strange name of the "Sannohe Pavilion" was changed......
I was thinking about it here, and suddenly the door came to report: "The Chinese military division and the Marquis of Lingshu Pavilion come to worship." "Yes Xun heard it, why did Xun You think of coming to my door? Oh, yesterday you forced me to make a statement, so you just ran over and blocked the door, didn't you? Outrageous! But it's not easy to block the car - I just sent Xi Xian out. It is estimated that the two of them will be able to take a look at each other, and they will not rush even if they are temporarily sick......
I had to personally greet Xun Gongda, let Xun Gongda into the main hall, and sit down as guests. After the hot water was on, Xun You looked left and right, which means: Please leave everyone alone. Shi Xun waved his hand, and the servants and attendants all retreated, and Xun You suddenly stood up and slammed to the ground.
It was Xun Yi's confusion: "Gongda, what does this mean?" "Didn't we all go through the door just now? All of a sudden, you shake again. It's still "long", look at the posture is to apologize to me. What does this mean exactly?
Xun Yu shook his head and said with a sincere expression: "Hongfu is a relative of the prime minister, and he is in a place of suspicion, so he should not be forced yesterday." It's a mistake, and I ask for forgiveness. "You are a relative of Cao Cao, you should avoid suspicion about Cao Cao's jue-lu issues, you can't express your position casually, we forced you to express your position yesterday, what you did was really wrong, and I apologize to you here.
Did Xun Xin say that you just remembered this? No, it's just a slap to give a sweet date, and I don't want to completely tear my face with me. But anyway, if you don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, you have to accept this apology - you see how good Xun Gongda is a man, Xun Yu can't pull his face to apologize to me, no wonder Xun Yu died in a hurry later, Xun Yu was alive, and he was the Shangshu of Wei......
Just as he was about to humble a few words, he saw Xun You sit down again, but he deliberately moved to Shi Xun's side, and then asked in a low voice: "However, this national matter has to ask Hongfuye." Now out of the king's mouth, into my ears, will not leak out, Hongfu thinks, can Gongren build? "You quietly give me an explanation, what do you think in your heart, do you mean to approve of Dong Zhao's construction, or do you disagree?
It's Xun Xin who said okay, you wait for me here...... I still want to make a statement, dare to love your apology just now is just a gesture! However, since Xun You said "Out of the mouth of the king, into my ears, it will not be leaked", indicating that this is just a private conversation, and he will definitely not publicize it, Shi Xun also feels that some words should be made clear to Xun's uncle and nephew - after all, he and the Ruying faction are currently considered "internal contradictions among the people", if the communication is not smooth, it will accidentally rise to the "contradiction between the enemy and me", which is not beautiful.
Besides, Xun Yu is notoriously strict-mouthed, and the history books say that he and Cao Cao have privately advised many times, even if the matter has changed, he only told his friend Zhong Xuan alone. Later, Xun Yu hung up, and Zhong Xuan, in order to show his merits, planned to write an article to decrypt it, but unfortunately he died before it was completed, leaving a regret for the ages.
Of course, Xun You said that he would not go around to preach, but Xun believed that he would sue Xun Yu when he returned, and maybe he came today at the instigation of Xun Wenruo. Giving Xun Gong a thorough understanding is equivalent to revealing the core figures of the Ruying faction.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get closer to Xun You, and asked in a low voice: "In the past, the army attacked Ye and captured Kong Zhang, and the prime minister asked him to do things for Yuan Shao, how did Kong Zhang speak, and did Gongda still remember it?" "Back then, Cao Cao asked Chen Lin why he wrote "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao" and slandered himself, but how Chen Lin answered, do you remember?
When Xun You heard this, he was shocked, so he repeated word by word: "The arrow is on the string, I have to send ......" (a good activity for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
