Chapter 067: Shen Tu Jia's Teachings
"The students thought that what Chao was doing was not for themselves."
After a short period of thought, it was the older ancestor Liu Peng who spoke and explained his opinion.
"Since the Han Dynasty, it has been difficult for Legalists to enter the ranks, and the knowledge of Shen Bu and Shang Jun has also been despised by the world;"
"Under such circumstances, Chao Cuo first entered the court with the ability of 'literacy and hyphenation', and then borrowed the book to put on a layer of Confucian skin."
"Later, Chao Cuo took this opportunity to become the prince's family order, came to his father's side, and subtly changed his father's view of the Legalists, and finally was able to enter the house as a 'Legalist scholar' and live in the temple."
"No matter how the students look at it, they all feel that what Chao Wrong did was to revive the Legalists, and to open up a way for the future Legalists to enter the court."
said a word thoughtfully, and Liu Pengzu's face was also full of certainty and indifference.
The reason couldn't be simpler;
- If everything Chao Cuo did was just for himself, then there was no need for him to show his identity as a Legalist scholar after Liu Qi ascended the throne!
With the name of 'Dr. Shangshu', even if Chao Cuo could not integrate the entire Confucianism, he could definitely win the support of several major Confucian factions, and thus become a great Confucian like Fusheng in Jinan, or a famous minister like the previous prime minister Zhang Cang.
If Chao Cuo really makes mistakes and completely becomes a Confucian person, then the court will not be too hostile to Chao Cuo, and Chao Cuo's career will be smooth from then on.
But after the current Son of Heaven Liu Qi ascended the throne, Chao Cuo still showed his academic identity as 'after the name of Shen Shang was punished' without any worries, and was unexpectedly pointed out by the government and the opposition, and even all over the world.
——In this era, revealing one's identity as a 'Legalist' is equivalent to starting a group ridicule all over the world!
And the only reasonable explanation for Chao Cuo's unreasonable behavior is Liu Pengzu's sentence: Chao Cuo is not for himself, but for the Legalists;
It is to use his own flesh and blood to create a broad road for the later Legalists and scholars to enter and exit the phase and enter the temple······
Regarding Liu Pengzu's opinion, Shen Tujia only nodded slightly in agreement, but did not speak immediately, but moved his gaze to the side to Liu Sheng, who still had a thoughtful look on his face.
Feeling Shen Tujia's gaze, Liu Sheng was thinking about it, but his brows were getting tighter and tighter.
"The student thinks that the wrong career seems to be a bit ······"
"How can I say it······"
"—it's too much of a smooth ride."
With a confused expression, Liu Sheng couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and when he looked at Shen Tujia, there was even a burst of loneliness.
"Chao Cuo was born in a law, even if he didn't say it himself, then the first emperor should know it, right?"
"-At least when Chao Cuo becomes the crown prince's family order and is worshiped as a scholar by his father, the emperor's grandfather will definitely investigate Chao Cuo thoroughly!"
"Since the emperor's grandfather knew that Chao Cuo was a scholar of the Legalist family, why did he let his father and emperor worship Chao Cuo as a teacher?"
"Chao Cuo's true intentions, my father will definitely not understand, but I will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of my grandfather;"
"Since you know that Chao Cuo wants to get close to the prince, so as to correct the name of the Legalist family, why don't you stop it······"
asked several questions one after another, causing Liu Pengzu and Shen Tujia to be stunned, and doubts immediately appeared on their faces;
Only a moment later, I saw Shen Tujia smiling with praise, nodding his head to Liu Sheng again and again, and then put the stakes in front of the two brothers.
"Indeed, as the two sons said;"
"——The true origin of Chao Wrong, Emperor Taizong, must be well known."
"Not only that, but even when he was the first emperor, he had already written a book, indicating his intention to cut the domain."
"At that time, although the first emperor did not adopt Chao Cuo's "Cutting Domain", it was not long after Chao Cuo handed over the "Cutting Domain" that he asked His Majesty to worship Chao Cuo as a ······ teacher."
As soon as these words came out, I saw the two brothers staring at each other, and their eyes were full of light!
On the opposite side of the two brothers, Shen Tujia smiled and nodded with great satisfaction;
After thinking about it for a moment, he finally let out a long sigh leisurely.
"In the past, I foolishly thought that the first emperor did not approve of Chao Cuo's "Cutting Feudal Policy", but only thought that Chao Cuo was talented, so he sent Chao Cuo to His Majesty."
"In addition, at that time, Jia Yi, who was more famous, was sent to Liu Yi, the king of Liang Huai, by the first emperor, which made me feel even more: The first emperor did not approve of the "Cutting Domain", and the mistake of presenting "Cutting the Domain";
"—even, I don't recognize the crown prince at that time, that is, your majesty today······"
"It wasn't until some time ago that the old man reacted in hindsight: I'm afraid that at that time, the first emperor had already approved Chao's "Cutting Domain";
"It's just that the time is not ripe enough, the first emperor rejected Chao Cuo's proposal on the surface, and sent Chao Cuo to His Majesty, who was still the crown prince at that time······"
Speaking of this, Shen Tujia shook his head with a wry smile, and then looked at the two brothers separately with a slightly ashamed gaze.
"It was after realizing this that I agreed to stay in the court and keep an eye on Chao Cuo in person."
"What you want is to avoid the consequences caused by the "Cutting Strategy", which will make the temple and the society encounter too difficult situations."
"—Because the first emperor has the grace of knowing me;"
"Since the first emperor has approved the "Cutting Strategy", then even if I can't recognize Chao Mistake, I must force myself, as Shenggongzi said, only if the "Cutting Strategy" is the order of the first emperor."
"Then, on the assumption that 'the rebellion is about to break out and cannot be stopped,' we turn to the consideration of ways to quell the rebellion······"
smiled bitterly and said what he thought in his heart, and Shen Tujia's face was immediately replaced by a sigh of sighing;
After a while, Shen Tujia, who had come to his senses, cast his inexplicable serious gaze on the two brothers Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng in front of him.
"From this incident, I hope that the two sons can learn two things."
"First, after the two princes become princes and kings, if they encounter a strategy that is properly methodized but the time is not ripe, they should be like the first emperor, temporarily suppress this matter and hand it over to their descendants to deal with;"
"Second, after the two sons were crowned kings, when they encounter people with impure purposes like Chao Cuo, and want to achieve ulterior motives by getting close to the prince and prince, you must keep your eyes open and be careful!"
"Unless you are like the first emperor and have full confidence to control this person, otherwise, you must not let such a person get close to the prince even half a step!"
"Because the more talented and talented such a person is, the greater the goal he wants to achieve."
"And the more ambitious the goal of such an ambitious person, the more dangerous it is for the court, for the temple, and for the shrine······
