Chapter 144: Guozi Studies

Two days later, Sima Shao came to Guozixue very rarely.

Guozixue, as the name suggests, is a lecture hall built in the imperial palace to teach the knowledge of the descendants of the emperor's relatives, princes and nobles.

Except for the prince of the East Palace, who has a special lecturer, the rest of the princes and princesses who have not yet left the cabinet are required to go to the country every day to listen to the lectures.

However, as the older princes gradually grew up and had their own mansions, in addition to Princess Xunyang, there were only the children of the young palace nobles who were still staying in the country.

"Brother, why are you here today?"

Taking advantage of the fact that the lecturer of the lecture had not officially started, Princess Xunyang whispered to Sima Shao, his brother who was a few years older than him.

From the side, the children of the surrounding royal palace nobles looked at the brother and sister who were fighting with envy, although the princes were all of the same root, but in fact, this brotherly relationship was very weak, especially in the face of the temptation of the throne.

They can probably be called real brothers and sisters, right?

The people around looked at the brother and sister silently.

For Princess Xunyang, Sima Shao's impression is still good, because Princess Xunyang is a lively and active princess, but everything related to play, this girl is always interested, but she is not interested in learning.

Although he is more stubborn, he is talented and intelligent, and he will definitely be a good helper of Dajin in the future.

There is a discord between every prince in the past dynasties, and they are always busy with how to become the prince and how to become the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Under this general premise, even if the brothers have the possibility of contact, it is basically out of interest considerations.

Sima Shao didn't like that.

"The relationship between the two of you...... That's great. ”

The son of Taifu next to him finally couldn't help but interject.

Sima Shao didn't realize that because he had always been a celebrity in front of Emperor Jin Yuan's palm, the rest of the royal palace nobles and children were a little afraid of him.

Oh, and that doesn't include the son of the Taifu, because this guy has always ignored this extremely favored prince.

No, he also glanced at Sima Shao with an unhappy face.

This son of Taifu seems to have a lot of prejudice against him.

Sima Shao was a little stunned.

In fact, this kind of thing is easy to understand, just as those poor students in the school who are not valued are instinctively hostile to those who are valued by the school, the son of Taifu naturally repels this prince who is extremely loved by Emperor Jin Yuan and the people.

......

Fortunately, the clever Princess Xunyang was involved, and the son of Taifu finally let go of his suspicions with Sima Shaobing.

"The so-called ignorant are not to blame, prince, if I compensate you below, you don't have to complain about me, how about it?"

Sima Shao was dumbfounded in his heart, looked up and down a few times at Taifu's son, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I just want to be closer to Your Highness."

“……”

Sima Shao stared at him with wide eyes, and seeing his serious face, he suddenly retreated a seat.

The son of Taifu was confused, and was about to ask the reason, but saw Princess Xunyang pointing to the sleeve of her left hand with her right hand, and asked in a cautious low voice, "Is this it?" ”

Sleeve?

Sima Shao's filthy thoughts, combined with Princess Xunyang's strange eyes with a bit of fear and alienation, immediately reacted.

The son of Taifu blushed and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, I just want to discuss my knowledge with His Highness." ”

"Huh, ......" Sima Shao and Princess Xunyang exhaled with relief.

It's not that they deliberately tricked this one, in fact, in the Great Jin Palace, it is not for nothing that the princes and nobles of the past dynasties have been contaminated with dragon impotence.

Think about it, because of adequate nutrition, princes and nobles have always developed early, and in this case, once they are neglected, what will happen can be imagined.

Today's lecturer, Mr. Lin, talks about today's topic in class.

I have to say that today this is a very important lesson, the purpose of which is to teach the princes and nobles what it means to govern the country, which may affect the foundation of the entire Great Jin Dynasty in the future.

It's a pity that Sima Shao is not interested in this at all.

In fact, later generations have already summed up a set of ancient methods of governing the country.

Four representative models: the thrifty model of Emperor Xiaowen of the Western Han Dynasty, the people-oriented model of Li Shimin of Tang Taizong, the new policy model of Song Renzong, and the punishment model of Ming Taizu.

Thrifty model - "the national luxury is the use of money, the use of money is the poor"

During the reign of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, it was forbidden to disturb the people, give gifts, prohibit waste, and even show that the princes and subjects of the emperor's authority were abolished. At the beginning of his accession, someone offered thousands of horses, and Liu Heng issued a "red-headed document", telling the world that "I will not be sacrificed" and "so that the Quartet does not need to ask for sacrifice". No buildings and halls will be built.

People-oriented model - "the people are only the state, the country is solid"

Tang Taizong Li Shimin has the most "people-oriented consciousness", he believes, "the king depends on the country, and the country depends on the people." Carving the people to serve the king, cutting the flesh to fill the abdomen, the stomach is full and the body is killed, the king is rich and the country is dead". Li Shimin likes to quote scriptures when he speaks, and he often mentions Xunzi's point of view: "Jun, Zhou Ye; People, water also. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. ”

New Deal Model - "Heaven and Earth Revolution and Four Seasons"

The 49th hexagram in the Book of Changes is the "Reform Hexagram", and there is a saying in the commentary of the ancients that "Heaven and Earth Revolution and Four Seasons", revealing the importance of reform and its laws. From the pre-Qin period to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were nearly 100 reforms that had an impact in Chinese history. Relying on reform and using reform as a means of national governance is called the "New Deal Model" by historians, and the representative figure is Song Renzong Zhao Zhen.

Gradually implemented and promulgated throughout the country, this is the vigorous "Qingli New Deal" in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, which opened the prelude to a series of reforms in the Northern Song Dynasty, including Wang Anshi's reforms.

Severe punishment mode - "to govern the troubled times, the punishment has to be heavy"

The so-called "harsh punishment" means severe punishment. Before the Tang and Song dynasties, the governance of the country paid attention to "the combination of etiquette and law, and the virtue is the main punishment and the punishment is auxiliary", that is, the so-called "light punishment" thought, which belongs to "benevolence". After the Song and Yuan dynasties, the rulers pursued the principle of "virtue for the government and self-cultivation", but did not punish lightly, and Ge Hong, a Jin person, "cannot stop without a harsh punishment" The view was recognized by the rulers. The "punishment mode" is also known as the "rule of heavy canons", and the representative figure is Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was the most active practitioner of the Jun punishment model, and while he was in the Ming Dynasty, he emphasized the law and ruled strictly. He claimed, "I rule the troubled times, and the punishment must be severe", and later generations refer to it as "the troubled times use heavy codes".

......

He looked at the empty classroom, and finally understood why there were only a few of them in the Guozi School today, and he couldn't see those princesses who were very smart.

It's sad......

Sima Shao sighed gloomily.

Who would have thought that the princes and nobles in their imagination did not exist at all, and the underage princes and nobles faced the reality every day was that they were surrounded by a group of guards of the five big and three rough, and they rarely had access to the young palace maids.

Although the princesses and the nobles of the princes and nobles in Guozixue are all pure and spiritual, they are a little too young after all.

It's a sad story, and it's never going to come back again.

"By the way, how can Your Highness have the leisure to go to Guozi to listen to the lectures today?"

The son of Taifu felt a little incredible.

When Sima Shao heard this, he had nothing to do, and he came here after dangling.
