"Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time. Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life? Zhu Houwei said solemnly: "Bai Juyi's poem must be familiar to you Aiqing, Wang Mang is a son of Confucianism, the fall of the Western Han Dynasty has nothing to do with military generals, the orthodox famous scholar usurped the Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty, I'm afraid it is not so easy for you to clear his name."

Wang Qiong didn't speak, because she couldn't speak, because this is the truth, the evidence is ironclad, how to refute it? If you have to refute, then it is not a strong argument but a quibble.

As a child of Confucianism, it is okay to argue strongly, but to quibble, I can't afford to lose that person, not to mention that the previous example of arguing Daqin has already made Wang Qiong's old face lose a little, if he can't catch the loophole in the words of the Son of Heaven at this time, Wang Qiong basically won't speak.

"As for the Eastern Han Dynasty." Zhu Houwei thought for a while and said with a smile: "It is said that the Western Han Dynasty died in the melee of warlords, but are these warlords all military generals?" Liu Biao, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and the Yuan family brothers who were not officials appointed by the emperor to guard the place and lead the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven?

And why there are warlords in the Western Han Dynasty, the root cause is the disaster of the party! It was eunuchs, relatives, officials and even Confucian scholars who fought for power, and it was precisely because of the disaster of the party that there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion. ”

The corners of Wang Qiong's mouth moved, but she still didn't say anything, Er Yang still pretended to be dead, and put on a posture of letting the wind blow from east to west, north and south, and I didn't move.

"The Tang Dynasty was strong for a while, but it went into decline due to the Anshi Rebellion, but what really made the Tang Dynasty completely decline was the Huangchao Uprising, and the root of the Huangchao Uprising was the decline and decay of the rule, it was the eunuchs who were in power that led to the people's misery, and it was the forty-year-long Niu Li Party Struggle, and the Party Struggle was actually the biggest driving force behind the demise of the Tang Dynasty!

In such an environment, all the two parties think about is how to completely kill each other, and who has the heart to spend their minds on governing the country.

The court is not quiet, the local officials have no restraints, they will only intensify their exploitation of the people, as the so-called officials force the people to rebel, the people have to rebel, the Tang Dynasty has reached the end of the period, even if there is no Huangchao, there will be Li Chao and Ma Chao!

Zhu Wen usurped Tang and became self-reliant, it is true that he is a military general, but he is not a military general of the Tang Dynasty, he is a subordinate general of the traitor Huang Chao......"

The deep-seated reasons for the demise of the Tang Dynasty are naturally not as simple as Zhu Houwei said, he just said a general direction, that is, the reason for the decline of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to the Anshi Rebellion, and the reason for the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Huangchao, and the root of the Huangchao Uprising lies in the Niu Li Party dispute.

This argument may not be able to stand firmly, that is, Wang Qiong still has something to refute, but Wang Qiong seems to have suddenly changed her mentality, from jumping one after another at the beginning, to now being as calm as a mountain.

This is the cultivation that a Confucian should have.

Although Zhu Houwei is very interested in arguing, but this old guy pretends to be dead, and he is happy not to waste saliva, but the reason why Old Man Wang does not open his mouth is because even if he speaks, it will not have much effect.

Because the Niu Li party dispute led to the complete decline of the Tang Dynasty, it is an indisputable fact, no matter how you argue, these two Confucian ministers are difficult to escape the blame even if they are not the culprits, so there is nothing to argue.

"As for the former Song." The smile on Zhu Houwei's face was even worse: "In view of the precedent of Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao mutiny, the Great Song Dynasty was very protective of the martial arts, and Di Qing, who had outstanding achievements, was squeezed out by Wenchen, and finally died of depression, and Yue Fei, who was bent on taking over the northern border, was killed by Qin Hui and finally succumbed to the storm......

Yang Tinghe's eyelids were raised, as if he wanted to interject to talk about this public case.

Qin Hui is a well-known traitor, this point does not need to be repeated, but the reason why this history is a public case is because everyone knows that Qin Hui is just a man who carries the blame, and he really wants Yue Fei to die, and it should be Song Gaozong Zhao Gou who should be responsible for Yue Fei's death!

However, it is impossible for Confucianism to let Zhao Gou take responsibility, because the reason why Confucianism can be deeply rooted in the court, and the reason why it can allow generations of dynasties and kings to appoint Confucian literati to govern the world is that Confucianism is the key to maintaining the divine authority of the monarch, and it has always spared no effort to maintain the legitimacy of the monarchy.

Unless there's really no way around it.

For example, the best era of literati was the former Song Dynasty, but even in this era of bright stars, scholars and doctors could not erase the stains on Taizu and Taizong.

It is an indisputable fact that Zhao Kuangyin usurped the country from the hands of orphans and widows, and no matter how much he beautifies it, he cannot deny the basic fact that the country is unjust.

And if Zhao Guangyi's candlelight axe shadow is really seated, it is also not right, otherwise why would he kill his younger brother and nephew?

Even if Zhao Gou was the black hand who killed Yue Fei, so what?

Yue Fei is a general, and Zhao Gou is a gentleman!

The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die!

Hidden for the superior, hidden for the venerable, that is, the beginning of morality!

If the son does not regard the father's fault, the wife does not regard the husband as the husband's fault, and the minister does not regard the king's fault as the king's fault, then the good will return to the top and the evil will be entrusted, and the program will always be determined.

This is the most basic outline of Confucian morality!

Confucianism let Zhao Gou take the blame, which is to deny his own ideas and slap his face!

"The Great Song Dynasty is full of humanities, culture has reached its peak since the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty has been in the world for more than 300 years, how many Confucian celebrities have been born? It's a pity that even if it is the best era of literati, what can it be? Zhu Houwei sighed.

"First there was the dispute between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others, and then there was the Yuanyou Party Monument erected by Cai Jing in order to eliminate dissidents and for the party struggle.

These are all ministers based on the court, the Song Dynasty did not have the disaster of the feudal town, of course, the Song Dynasty has always been a foreign war, but also died in a foreign race, but there is no need to say.

As for the Ming ...... Chen Ying and Hu Weiyong are all traitors who can be nailed to the pillar of shame, isn't it good for me to treat officials badly? Yang Aiqing, I ask you, where did she die? ”

Yang Tinghe couldn't continue to pretend to be dead, so he could only take a deep breath and said: "Eunuchs, relatives, martial arts, party strife, natural and man-made disasters, and the people are struggling to make a living......"

"Shoufu is avoiding the important and light." Zhu Houwei sneered: "To put it simply, it's not just four words, land annexation!"

None of the three ministers answered, because they all knew that what the Son of Heaven said was the truth, but there had always been few officials who were willing to uncover this scar.

"The privileged classes such as the powerful, the big clans, and the nobles annexed the land, so that the people lost their land, were displaced, and became homeless people and could hardly survive.

This is the essence of the danger of the society, how deep the harm is, I don't want to say more, and there is no need to say more, because you all know it! ”

"Your Majesty said yes." Yang Tinghe lowered his head and sighed.
