After the tenth month

Cao Ang was dressed in single clothes, and in the courtyard, he began to practice the five fowl operas taught by Hua Tuo.

Start with the Tiger Play.

I saw him landing on his hands and feet on the ground, repeatedly retreating three times, and then leading his waist and raising his head, like a tiger, advancing and retreating seven steps.

"The tiger opera is majestic, it can raise the qi of kidney water to strengthen the kidney, the kidney qi is solid, the essence is sufficient, and the qi is full. Long-term practice can lead to the pulse, and the pulse can be connected to all the pulses, and the energy is naturally abundant. Solid foundation peiyuan. ”

Cao Ang muttered to himself while practicing.

In the deer play, Cao Ang landed on both feet, looked back twice, stretched his left foot to the right, and stretched his right foot to the left three times.

Compared with the majesty of the tiger opera, the deer opera is serene, and it needs to be led by the intention and stored in the dantian.

"It can make the qi overflow and spread to all parts of the human body, and cooperate with the breathing, the qi and blood will go, and the blood will circulate. As Hua Tuo said, the blood is connected, and the disease cannot be born. After the deer opera practice, Cao Ang was already sweating on his forehead.

Lie on your back again, raise your head with your hands on your knees, tilt your body to the ground from side to side and repeat it seven times, then squat up, and press your hands to the ground left and right.

The bear play is calm, imitating the image of the bear, and taking its clumsy and powerful nature.

When practicing, the intention moves with the form, and the form moves at will, so as to achieve the unity of form and meaning. "Bear opera is the main spleen and stomach, and practicing bear opera can play a role in the tendons of the limbs, muscles, increasing strength, flexible joints, and strengthening the body."

After climbing with both hands, he hung in the air, telescoping his body seven more times, and hooked the stump of the lower limb to make the body hang upside down.

Then do the pull-ups seven times with the hand hook object. The ape is dexterous, imitating the action of the ape, the outside can practice the flexibility of the limbs, and the inside can suppress the emotional turmoil, that is, the heart can be trained.

"The heart is the main bloodline, and the blood vein dredging can refresh the mind, so practicing ape drama for a long time can flexible the brain, enhance memory, broaden the mind, and prevent forgetfulness and heart disease."

Stand on the ground with your last foot and spread your arms out to make a heron bird take off. After taking a sitting position.

Straighten your lower limbs, bend over and touch with your hands, and bend and extend your arms seven times each. The bird play is light, imitating the action of the bird spreading its wings and flying, and has the effect of qi pulse, enhancing throughput, dredging meridians, flexible joints, and channeling true qi to reach the top door.

"Make the up and down run quietly, the spirit is quiet, the qi is sufficient, the qi is full and the essence is generated, and the essence overflows and turns into qi, so as to achieve the three-element integration of essence, qi and spirit, the body is light, and long-term practice can benefit life and prolong life."

It seems that the movements are light, but in fact, it is extremely exhaustive, and after a set, Cao Ang is already panting and sweating, and the single clothes on his body are also soaked with sweat.

At this time, there was a hand, pinching a white scarf and presenting it to Cao Ang.

He looked at it, and saw that Jia Xu had already appeared in front of Cao Ang at some point, and said with a smile: "Wipe it, you can get out of bed, don't get cold in single clothes, you must know that today the air is gradually getting cold."

Cao Ang smiled, took the white towel and wiped it, and said, "Disciple, thank you for your concern."

"Don't say that, I haven't taught you anything yet, I don't dare to bear the master's words." Jia Xu smiled bitterly and waved his hand after hearing this, he felt that Cao Ang's so-called worship of him as a teacher was just a bad taste, all because Cao Ang seemed to know everything, Jia Xu felt that there was nothing to teach him.

"Don't say that, teacher, you can teach me too much, there is no end to learning, how can there be no teaching?"

"For example?" Jia Xu looked at Cao Ang deeply and asked.

"One plan to destroy ......" Before Cao Ang finished speaking, Jia Xu's face immediately changed greatly.

"I was helpless to protect myself." Jia Xu said slowly, Cao Ang nodded, admittedly, he also thinks so, there are two major strategists in the world who are despised by the scholars, one is he Jia Xu, known as the "poisoner", as for the other is the much-criticized Li Ru, but it is said that this person has passed away with his father-in-law Dong Zhuo, but the truth is unknown.

Cao Ang's desire to worship Jia Xu as a teacher is true that there is a bad taste on the one hand, but more he wants to follow Jia Xu to learn some conspiracies, this is not a derogatory meaning, conspirators are not shameful in Cao Ang's view, some people use yang to establish the world, and naturally some people live with conspiracy, which are two opposite sides, but it is the most normal phenomenon.

"When the teacher said this, I remembered that you haven't taught your disciples yet." As he spoke, he grabbed Jia Xu and walked towards the room with him in his arms.

In the room, the two sat opposite each other.

Jia Xu's first lesson was to analyze the case with Cao Ang.

"Childe, do you know the Grace Order?" Jia Xu asked with a meaningful smile, Cao Ang frowned, because in the torrent of this era, anyone who has read a book does not know what a tui en order is, so with Jia Xu's old and spicy character, it is impossible to give Cao Ang this question.

What is the Grace Order?

Generally speaking, the Tui'en Decree was an important decree issued by Emperor Wu in order to consolidate centralized power during the Western Han Dynasty.

The essence of this policy is to improve on the basis of the county system.

It was required that the territories under the jurisdiction of the former princes and kings should be inherited only by their eldest sons, but instead they would be inherited jointly by their eldest sons, second sons, and third sons.

According to the Han system, the Hou State formed under the Tui'en Order was subordinate to the county, and its status was equivalent to that of the county.

According to the orderly implementation of this decree and national policy, the feudal kingdoms of the princes and kings were divided into smaller and smaller countries, and Emperor Wu took the opportunity to weaken his power.

The significance lies in boiling frogs in warm water, so that these hundred and ten vassal states, which are getting smaller and smaller, are so small that they cannot pose a threat to the central government.

Historical data prove that "big countries are only more than ten cities, and small countries are only dozens of miles".

In the whole country, the "Han County Eighty or Ninety", that is, the counties directly under the central government, account for eight to ninety percent of the country's land area.

Moreover, "the princes are in a different shape, and the dogs are close to each other, and they are divided into the territory", which means that these counties are always interspersed between the princes' lands, and the land of the counties and the land of the princely states are intertwined, so that the princely states cannot be connected into a piece, and the counties always occupy or hold the favorable terrain.

The feudal states of the princes and kings were no longer able to compete with the central government, and the centralized power was strongly consolidated.

As a result, the vassal kingdoms were nominally not subject to any reduction, thus avoiding the possibility of provoking the vassal kings to revolt in arms.

As a result, "the feudal kingdom began to be divided, and the children were Bi Hou", which led to the feudal kingdom becoming smaller and smaller, and the power of the princes was greatly weakened.

The edict also stipulated that after the death of the princes, the eldest son would inherit the throne, and the other sons would divide part of the kingdom's land into liehous, and the liehou would be under the jurisdiction of the county.

The princes and kings were allowed to give a part of the kingdom's land to their sons as vassals, and the emperor set the names of these vassals. According to the Han system, the Hou State was subordinate to the county, and its status was equivalent to that of the county.

Therefore, the kingdom was divided into a vassal state, that is, the shrinking of the kingdom and the expansion of the land directly under the imperial court. After the order was issued, the kingdom asked for the division of the children, "so the vassal kingdom began to be divided, and the children were bihou." ”

The imperial court "did not depose the feudal state and analyzed itself". After Emperor Wu, the kingdom did not have more than a few counties, and its status was equivalent to that of a county. In this way, the problem of the princes and kings being strong and difficult to control was further solved

During the reign of Emperor Wen, Jia Yi, who was the Taifu at the time, in view of the rebellion of the princes such as the King of Huainan and the King of Jibei, once put forward the suggestion of "building the princes and less their strength" in the "Public Security Policy".

After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, the lord father Yan proposed to implement the Tui'en Decree, stipulating that after the death of the princes and kings, in addition to the eldest son inheriting the throne, other sons could also divide part of the kingdom's land and become liehous, which were governed by the county guards.

The terrible thing about the Tui En Decree was that it was issued in the name of the central government, that the land of the princes and kings would be divided among the remaining sons and heirs of the princes and kings, and that the non-sons of the princes and kings would stand firmly with the central court with ready-made benefits.

When Cao Angshang was still in his thoughts, Jia Xu smiled and asked, "What? Does Childe find this question difficult? ”

Cao Ang shook his head and said, "The so-called Tui En Decree is not just to dismantle the power of the princes and kings greater than that of the central court, so that the imperial power will be sidelined." Cao Ang first briefly explained to Jia Xu the steps to implement the Yang conspiracy of Tui En Ling, and the need for the central court to have strong strength to carry it out, otherwise this Yang conspiracy is just an ethereal mansion in the air.

In the disciple's view, the greatest significance of the Tui En Decree is to implement benevolent government, emphasize the legal system, and teach first and then punish.

Recruit talents throughout the country, be virtuous and upright, seek good policies for governing the country, and allow officials and ordinary people to write books to discuss political affairs. Cao Ang spoke eloquently about his own views.

In his previous life, he had discussed such views with his colleagues, and the common view at that time was that Emperor Wu selected virtuous and talented people to the greatest extent in this way.

Civilian Prime Minister Gongsun Hong was appointed, centralized power was strengthened, and the bureaucratic system, economic system, and foreign relations were reformed.

It can be seen from the above cutting of the feudal domain: in the past, the eldest son was the vassal king, and Emperor Wu implemented that in addition to the eldest son, the other sons-in-law could also enjoy the fief and financial taxes, but the political rights of these feudal kings were deprived and placed under the unified management of the central government

"Dare to ask Childe what are the six?" Jia Xu asked, narrowing his eyes.

"The strong occupy more land than the limit, and bully the weak. There are many lawlessness. ”

"The county guards did not abide by the edicts and decrees, oppressed the people, and ran rampant in the locality, resulting in many acts of corruption."

"The magistrate is inconsiderate of the people in judging cases, careless of human life, rewards and punishments at will, and is hated by the people. Affect the credibility of the government. ”

"It is unfair to select and appoint officials, to exclude people of good ability, and to appoint villains and traitors as officials."

"The children of the government and the powerful of the noble clan colluded with each other to bully others, and the local governor also pleaded with his subordinates for the children of guilt, so that the subordinates acted in violation of the law and could not enforce the law impartially."

"The county guard is not loyal to the emperor, but colludes with local tycoons, trades power for money, and seriously infringes on national interests."

After Jia Xu heard this, he had a relieved smile on his face, and couldn't help nodding frequently, judging from Cao Ang's analysis of the above six points, Tui'en Ling had a far-reaching impact on the previous dynasty.

It not only strengthens the centralization of power and accomplishes the great cause, but also provides a method for future authorities to learn from. Some local taxes are handed over to the state, and politics is centralized.

The salt, iron, and coal industries, which are the lifeblood of the national economy, are under the unified management and sale of the state.

In today's oil, steel, salt, currency, etc., Cao Ang was about to speak, but he was suddenly stunned, and then he glanced at Jia Xu deeply and muttered: "Teacher, the disciple suddenly understood, why did you ask the disciple what he thought of the Tui En Order." ”

Jia Xununu said, "Tell me about it."

Cao Ang smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Now it is impossible to say, the only thing that a disciple can tell his teacher is not to disappoint his teacher." ”

"The children can be taught." Jia Xu laughed when he heard this, and was very relieved.
