Changle Palace.

Liu Heng listened to what was happening in Taixue, and said in a slight mutter: "Ah Jing, I have always been curious, unless there are high-ranking officials, what do these masters want?" ”

A scholar of high moral character, high moral character, and profound knowledge is called a scholar, which probably means similar to the great Confucianism in Confucianism, and is a word that can be used in all schools.

Hearing this, Luo Jing groaned and said, "I think that these people want to establish an ideal country.

Confucianism wants to establish a royal country where there are no regrets in life and death and the world is in harmony, Legalism wants to establish a country where the monarch is alone and the world is safe, and even Huang Lao wants to establish a peaceful country where chickens and dogs do not hear each other.

For example, Meng Ru believed that if the monarch and his courtiers respect each other, the monarch will be holy, and the courtiers will be virtuous people, and this theory is applied to all social relations.

Once these two points disappear, as long as the land is distributed according to one household and one hundred acres, the world will be peaceful.

The same is true of the Spring and Autumn Confucians, and so on, and their thick scriptures are all written on how to establish an ideal kingdom.

Even many of them are depicted directly according to the situation of the Luo Kingdom in the past, and many people want to build the Han Dynasty into a Luo State that benefits Zhuxia. ”

Liu Heng frowned slightly and shook his head and said: "I think that can't be done, in this life, I will already do my best to make the Han Dynasty not have large-scale displaced people everywhere, and if there is no large-scale starvation of the people." ”

Luo Jing also nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, although Ancestor Ming Gong described the scene of the royal road, the destruction of the Luo Kingdom shows that at least for now, this road is impassable.

But after all, you have to choose some doctrine to govern the country. ”

"Yes, if you want to choose some doctrine to govern the country, what does the world need today? What do I need? ”

A hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom.

It's easier said than done.

In a large centralized empire, the ruling policy must be consistent, at least not overnight.

In many cases, ruling ideas cannot coexist, just like Huang Lao and Confucianism, and they cannot have both a big government and a small government.

"The tricks of the Legalists are difficult to reach the hall of elegance, and cannot be used as a classic for His Majesty to preach enlightenment to his subjects.

Huang Lao's technique has been implemented for decades, and the drawbacks have gradually appeared, and it is time to abandon it.

The Mohists paid attention to practicality, and they were needed in the future to reclaim farmland, build water conservancy, and even improve agricultural tools and make weapons. ”

Liu Heng muttered: "That is, only Confucianism is left, Jia Qing is a Confucian student, and he is indeed a Confucian student with high character and outstanding talents, but there are many Confucian factions, such as "Mencius", "Luogong Spring and Autumn", "Poetry", "Zhou Li", "Shu", and even "Yi", "Xunzi", etc., which one should I use?" ”

Confucianism occupies half of the country in Taixue, because of the fine tradition of Confucianism, Confucianism has two magic weapons, the first is to be good at learning from others to progress and then change their face, the second is to attach great importance to education, and even educating children is more important than being an official.

The Qin Dynasty used the Three Jin Legalists, the Han Dynasty mainly used Huang Lao to recuperate, and Confucianism had many children, but the Confucian idea of governing the country has not been useful.

Confucianism has become accustomed to this situation, and the great Confucians adhered to the ideas of Confucius, and when the politics were not smooth, they spread their ideas, bent down and guarded their points, and waited for the time of day, and opened private schools everywhere in the vast land of Shandong, and a large number of outstanding talents were put into the command of Confucianism.

Jia Yi is a typical representative of this, who has already sat in the high position of the Three Princes, and when the time comes, he will begin to implement the ideals of Confucianism.

Liu Heng asked again: "If you choose a certain idea, what about other families?" Without the support of the imperial court, I am afraid that it will soon decline. ”

Luo Jingdao: "Just let them develop freely, don't block their road to becoming officials, and they will naturally survive."

In the past few decades, Huang Lao has been used to govern the country, but there are also many people who have entered the two schools of Confucianism and Law, and the imperial court formulates major policies, and officials are willing to comply with them, so they use them.

It is very necessary for a hundred schools of thought to contend, this is the reason why Taixue should place the Thirteen Classics, not just a single scripture.

If the ideology chosen by His Majesty in the future is not suitable for the situation of the Han Dynasty, then it is enough to choose other ideas from Taixue. ”

Liu Heng kept pacing and thinking in the hall, he had always been thinking about what he should do for the world of the Han Dynasty, not simply being a master of success, that was not what his ancestors expected of him.

Not long after, the ban issued an order to summon the doctors of Confucian scriptures into the palace, and the emperor wanted to personally ask them.

But the forbidden Zhong soon issued an order, "Please also ask the doctors of all families to study the classics in Taixue, Your Majesty will still be of great use to you." ”

The emperor's attitude made these people hope in their hearts, at least they didn't kill them all, cut off the Taoist system, and didn't have to return to Shandong in disgrace, or even take refuge in Zhaocheng.

After more than a dozen families of Confucian scholars with different scriptures entered the palace, they met the emperor who looked quite young, Taixue Sacrificial Wine Luo Jing and Imperial Historian Jia Yi accompanied the emperor.

After greeting each other, Liu Heng immediately threw out the question he was most concerned about, "You are all knowledgeable people, I want to know, what does the big man need now?" ”

It was the most fundamental problem from the beginning, which made everyone a little unexpected, but this was the reason why they came here, to sell their own ideas of governing the country to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the weight of the world is unified!"

A loud voice sounded, Liu Heng's eyes lit up, and Luo Jing said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is the doctor who governs the "Luogong Spring and Autumn Prince" scripture. ”

"Luogong Spring and Autumn" has two articles, "Ruling the King" and "Respecting the King", "Ruling the Prince" is made by Luo Ming Gong, and "Respecting the King" is written by Confucius.

Governing "Luogong Spring and Autumn Ruling " can be said to be dancing with shackles, because Luo's is not only in the world, the key is that he is also in a high position and is the top scholar.

Then, when expounding the ideas in it, we must not make it up nonsense, but really understand the meaning.

In other words, it's too difficult to figure out what ideas Locke wants to appear in the world.

"Zun Wang" is much better, because the power of the Confucian family is not good, although the status of Confucianism is high, but there are still many people who can be compared with it.

However, there is a great weakness in "The King".

That is, "Zun Wang" was written by Confucius to figure out "Governance", which is a kind of speculation on Luo Minggong's thoughts, so he may be violently beaten by Luo's classics at any time.

Liu Heng asked, "Doctor, please speak." ”

"The sages made the Spring and Autumn Period, and since ancient times, the world of peace, all the kings are virtuous and ordered."

"King Su made ceremonial music, and the princes obeyed the orders of the Son of Heaven, did not fight against each other, and united in the face of barbarians, this is the reason for the prosperity of Bangzhou.

The king's virtues began to deteriorate, so the heavens took away his power, and the princes were unwilling to worship him and wanted to provoke him, and Bangzhou became in turmoil.

It wasn't until Duke Qi Huan became the hegemon and all the princes of the world acted according to his will that Zhuxia settled down again, and Kong Sheng praised him and Guanzi.

For example, today has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, until Emperor Taizu Gao Dingyu, Kyushu was unified.

But under the unification, there are still cracks, and the orders of the Son of Heaven cannot walk among the nations, so there is a rebellion among the kingdoms, and when the kingdom is split, the discord gradually disappears.

There should be a change in the judgments between the heavens, and there should be a change in the thinking between the heavens.

Your Majesty, this is your mission from heaven.

At this time, if we can no longer unify the whole world, so that the sea is bathed in the emperor's kindness, how long will it be?

The peaceful world is about to appear, and the holy king will come to the world, this is the answer given by the sages, and who is the holy king? ”

He stared at Liu Heng with burning eyes, Liu Heng was full of energy, his head was held high, and he felt that what his uncle said back then, "I am the holy king who wants to create peace." ”

The voice of heavy worship sounded, "You are the holy king who created peace, and the ministers congratulate the world." ”

Admonishing the king is a matter of deception.

Of course, Liu Heng would not be so simple and foolish, but these words were too much to his liking, and gave him a very good excuse, now that the world needs to be restructured, it is very crucial to find such a school that is willing to cooperate with his strategic actions.

"What you said is very reasonable, in the past, when King Rowan was still alive, he often said to me that in the future, he would create the rule of the Holy King and bring peace to me, and I thought so."

Liu Heng's words made the doctor of Confucianism who fell to the ground overjoyed, knowing that this was the emperor's approval of his theory.

This vein is about to flourish!

————

The establishment of Lile by King Su and Luo's promotion of the deification of King Su built the unshakable foundation of the Zhuxia civilization, but the interior decoration of the Zhuxia Dynasty left a lot of gaps.

When the historical process came to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the biggest problem he faced was how to shape the ideology of the entire Han Dynasty to adapt to the internal and external conditions faced by the Han Dynasty, that is, what kind of spirit to inject into the Han Dynasty in the process of integrating the world with the basic completion of the preconditions for great unification, which was what Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty needed to consider.

The author writes this paragraph with infinite joy and pride, when Emperor Wen of Han made the most correct choice for the nation when history entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, that is, to choose an idea to stabilize the entire dynasty and bridge the differences since the era of the Great Schism.

But at the same time, he tried his best to maintain the vitality of the ideas of other schools, and even set aside a certain number of official positions for these dissident ideas to ensure their survival.

In the 11th century AD, it was hard to imagine that such progressive thinking would have appeared in a feudal ruler, but this is the reality! ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
