Chapter 387: The World Is One (Third Update)
Kunxu World!
After defeating the Red Eyebrow Army and occupying Guanzhong, Liu Xiu occupied the general trend of the world.
At this moment, occupying Hebei, Hedong, Hanoi, the Central Plains, Guanzhong, and other regions, all the heroes in the world are corresponding and surrendering.
The trend is mine!
March, Luoyang City.
A ship slowly sailed into the port of Luoyang City, a white-haired old Confucian came down, looked at the busy wharf, and couldn't help sighing: "Luoyang, which was damaged in the past, has regained its vitality in the blink of an eye, so prosperous, the emperor governs the people, and he really has a few means!" ”
"Greetings, teacher!"
On the dock, several Confucian students were already waiting: "I heard that the teacher is coming, we can't help but have already arranged everything, just waiting for the teacher to come!" ”
"Good!"
This old Confucian, who is quite famous in Shandong, once wrote a book and said, the Qing Dynasty was famous, and the imperial court extended the appointment of officials several times, but was politely refused, but now he is here.
"The Holy Son of Heaven was born as a Confucian, and he has been a Confucianist all his life! Now that the dynasty is newly established, it is the moment when Confucianism is flourishing! ”
"The Son of Heaven, build Taixue in Luoyang, set up a doctor of the Five Classics, restore the study of the fourteenth doctor, and often go to Taixue to inspect and talk to students."
"The Son of Heaven is also a reward for literati and sages, attaching importance to the construction of books and the collection of royal books. In the past, the world was in turmoil, the classics were burned, the official collection of books was scattered, and the folk collection was quite a lot. ”
Many Confucian scholars spoke, praising the present day and praising his achievements.
"It's just that the aura of the armor is too heavy...... a young Confucian frowned slightly.
An elderly Confucian said: "The Son of Heaven rewards meritorious heroes too heavily, canonized more than 200 princes, and many fiefdoms!" ”
After getting into the carriage and entering Luoyang City, looking at the prosperous scene on both sides, as well as the young officers riding high-headed horses with bright clothes and armor, which frequently attracted the attention of many women, the great Confucian couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that the culture is insufficient!" ”
After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he treated the generals well, and enjoyed preferential treatment such as tax exemption and exemption for the soldiers' families, as well as preferential treatment for military salaries and fields.
It's just these, in the eyes of Confucianism, but they feel that the emperor rewards the generals too much.
The future could be a curse.
Of course, he certainly wouldn't have said that at this time.
The old Confucian stroked his beard and talked about another aspect: "The old man has seen a lot of farmland and cottages along the way, since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, Hebei, Heluo and other places have been in good weather, it seems that Your Majesty has really won the mandate of heaven!" ”
"Yes, the teacher's words are reasonable."
The Confucian scholars echoed one after another.
In this era, food production is a matter of life and death for the country.
Natural disasters lead to famine, which leads to displacement, rebellion among the displaced people, and further destruction of agricultural production, and then a vicious circle is formed.
As long as the people can be fed, clothed, and warm, they can live a good life, but in fact, they don't care much about who the ruler above is.
Hebei, Hedong and other places, several crops ripe, the grain is full of warehouses, the harvest is abundant, the people's hearts are stable, the foundation is also stable, this is a sign of the appearance of Mingjun.
……
In the palace.
At this time, in the back garden.
Liu Xiu was wearing a Xuansu Ge dress and was watching her son walk.
My son is more than a year old and can already walk waddlingly.
Tea is boiled in a small stove in the flower hall, the spring water is boiling, bubbling white gas, the tea leaves on the side are green in color, and there is a faint fragrance, which is refreshing.
Looking at the little person, Liu Xiu's heart was extremely comfortable.
This is the life he wants, fighting and killing, blood flowing like a river, an emperor through the ages, seemingly useful, but in fact useless.
The little guy who was running around the hall pounced on him: "Daddy...... Embrace! ”
"Haha...... Good! ”
Holding the little guy and feeling the body temperature in his arms, a long-lost emotion surfaced in his heart.
"No matter how I cultivate, I'm still a person after all! I still can't do it! Liu Xiu reminded herself: "Seek the true self, don't forget the original intention!" ”
In the back house, there are many heirs one after another, some Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong.
After a while, Guo Shengtong walked out, his breath was faint, but under Liu Xiutiandao's eyes, he saw a strong qi and blood surging, obviously Guo Shengtong had broken the shackles and become a martial god.
"Congratulations!"
Liu Xiu said with a smile.
"Rejoice! Valkyrie has no difficulty for me! Guo Shengtong said with a smile.
Liu Xiu nodded, many bottlenecks, for the innate Dao body, almost non-existent.
"Your Majesty, there is no difficulty in winning the world? When to get to the fairy world? "Guo Sheng channel.
"When, it's a while! When the world is settled, it's not too late to soar to the fairy world! Liu Xiu said, "I must always leave a stable foundation for my son!" ”
…………
A few days later, Liu Xiunan departed.
In May, Deng Chen's rebellion was put down, and Deng Feng was beheaded.
In July, the Peng Pet rebellion was put down.
After recuperating for a period of time, Geng Yi led the army to pacify Zhang Bu; Cen Peng led the army and pacified a section of Nanyang. After some major battles again, most of the areas east of Guanzhong have been pacified. Now, only the hustle and bustle of Longyou remains, and the grandson of Bashu is Shu.
Next, the war entered a quiet phase, and rest and recuperation were the mainstay.
The continuous war lasted for more than seven years, the world collapsed, the chaos in various places continued, and the displaced people continued, and then the stability of the world was the main thing. As for Kui Huan and Gongsun Shu, they are mainly based on political inducement, and if they can, they will not fight.
The battle is to the death!
With successive wars and countless deaths, it's time for the people to recuperate.
Next, it is time to persuade the meritorious heroes to retire, attach importance to Confucianism, and develop culture and education.
The reason for persuading the heroes to retire is because in many moments, the monarchs and ministers can share the joys and sorrows, but not the wealth and prosperity together. Don't test human nature, human nature is not enough to test.
Many heroes have made great contributions when they conquered the world.
At this moment, the reward is heavy, in exchange for the early retirement of the hero.
There are two major advantages to dissuade the meritorious heroes and let them retire early, the first is to avoid the meritorious heroes from having too much power, too much influence, and threatening the imperial power; Second, lest the meritorious heroes be corrupted and pervert the law and violate state decrees.
After all, if the heroes mess with the country's law and discipline and commit illegal acts, what should they do?
In order to strictly enforce the law and discipline, directly killing the heroes will hurt the feelings of the monarch and the ministers, and the world will even say that the emperor is mean and unkind, and the rabbit dies and the dog cooks; But if a hero violates the law, but he is punished, it will shake the seriousness of the law and discipline, and let the law and discipline exist in name only.
As a result, he directly drew his salary from the bottom of the kettle and directly let the hero retire early.
The heroes have retired and have no power, and it is impossible to bend the law for bribes and disrupt the law.
In this way, the law and order are maintained, and the feelings of the monarch and the ministers are maintained.
Attaching importance to Confucianism and culture and education is for the sake of national stability, and culture and education are the king's way.
Confucianism, the best, is the most in line with the values of harmony.
