The great revival of Confucianism is the trend of the times.

Confucianism, in line with the worldview of harmony.

As for capitalism, class struggle, equality and freedom, etc., it seems beautiful, but in fact it is not harmonious at all, because the premise of all this is to learn to be selfish, which is not conducive to stability and harmony. It is still good to learn Confucianism, the way of the world, harmony is precious!

Liu Xiu is a Confucian student, Deng Yu is a Confucian student, and more than half of the military generals under his command are Confucian students, and the country is laid down by Confucianism.

The Confucian scholars of this era can not only read, but also fight, but they are not in another world, the Confucian students of the Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing dynasties can only talk cannons, and they can't fight.

The spring of Confucianism has come, and this is the era of Confucianism.

Of course, it is impossible to make the Song Dynasty like that without killing the scholars.

At the moment of entering the spring of Confucianism, it soon entered the era of cool officials.

Liu Xiu attaches great importance to cool officials, uses cool officials to suppress Confucianism, and maintains law and order.

This is the outer Confucianism and the inner law.

Attach importance to Confucianism, encourage the development of Confucianism with the general trend, use Confucianism to stabilize the people, build a harmonious society, and treat the people with leniency; However, on the inside, he attaches great importance to the construction of the legal system, implements law enforcement by cool officials, strictly restricts officials, and treats officials very harshly.

There are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be prosecuted.

Although there is no Zhu Yuanzhang, corrupt officials peel their skins and fill the grass, but the life of civil officials will not be easy, and it is impossible to bask in the sun leisurely while holding power!

If you want to be an official, be a cow and a horse!

Those old brothers, those heroes, have good friendships, and they are embarrassed to start. But the Confucian scholars and civil officials present have average friendship, but they are embarrassed to start.

Many Confucian students are happy and angry, but more of them turn into silence, after all, I can't say that I study to be a corrupt official, do I want to be a corrupt official, do I want to be a bad person, and I still want to be faced.

…………

In the sixth year of Jianwu, someone said that Feng Yi acted arbitrarily in Guanzhong and killed the Chang'an County Order, and his prestige and power were very heavy, and the people were submissive in their hearts, calling him "King of Xianyang." ”

Liu Xiu flipped through the recital and was silent.

Then, someone wrote another book saying that Feng Yi had a heart of disobedience.

Liu Xiu flipped through the chapters, and finally handed it to the prince, and said, "Prince, what do you think?" ”

The prince looked at the recital and said, "This recital is slanderous. Feng Yi is loyal to his father, how can he have a heart of disobedience! ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "At the beginning, Deng Feng was my general, loyal to me, and canonized him as a broken general, but he still rebelled; As for Peng Chong, when Hebei's foundation was initially decided, he had a great merit, but he still rebelled. How do you guarantee that Feng Yi has no two hearts! ”

"Be a man, don't forget your original intention! But on the way to walk, many people forget their original intentions and find it difficult to keep their duties!"

The prince was silent, not knowing what to say.

Liu Xiudao: "Remember, the first rule of being an emperor, don't believe in human nature, human nature is unreliable, don't test human nature, human nature can't stand the test!" Those who want to test human nature, want to test love, and test loyalty through a certain event, are all fools! ”

The prince said: "Why don't you recruit Feng Yi back and replace someone else in Guanzhong?" ”

Liu Xiu said: "If Feng Yi is unreliable, how can you be sure that others are reliable!" Even if it is reliable, Guanzhong is a quagmire, and Feng Yi can still stabilize the situation by relying on his prestige. But other people parachuted there, and once someone deliberately provoked it, it would be chaos in Guanzhong! For the emperor, stability prevailed. ”

"Remember, the second rule of being an emperor is to try to believe in human nature, as the so-called use of people's strengths, and all the people in the world are available; There is no available person in the world. Don't be demanding of civil and military generals, have both ability and political integrity, many moments, almost enough! ”

Liu Xiu immediately sent these impeachment notes to Guanzhong and handed them to Feng Yi.

This trick can not only be interpreted as Liu Xiu's trust in Feng Yi, but also imply that the imperial court has been on guard for a long time, and both grace and power are used.

When Feng Yi saw these letters, he was terrified, and he also understood the meaning of the letters, and immediately wrote to ask for guilt.

Liu Xiu replied at this time: "The general is to me, from the point of view of righteousness, he is a monarch and a minister, and from the point of view of personal kindness, like a father and son, will I still be suspicious of you, why should you worry!"

After Guanzhong was basically pacified, Feng Yi entered Beijing for the Hajj, and Liu Xiu warmly received him, and said to the ministers present: "This is my main book when I started the army, and I will overcome obstacles and calm Guanzhong."

After the meeting, Liu Xiu sent Zhonghuangmen to give Feng Yi treasures, clothes, money, silk and other things, and talked about the old friendship, Feng Yi also responded, talking about the old feelings.

Feng Yi stayed in the capital for more than a few days before returning to his station.

Liu Xiu ordered Feng Yi's wife and children to accompany him to show his absolute trust in him.

As for the family, it is not necessary to stay in Luoyang as a hostage.

If you really want to rebel and have hostages, it will still be a rebellion. Instead of this, it is better for Feng Yi's family to go with him and give a favor.

"Father, kindness is more important than Feng Yi, Feng Yi must be loyal!" The prince said.

"Generally speaking, Feng Yi will not rebel, after all, the world is determined at this moment, and there is no future for rebellion, and I am a benevolent king, and I am very good to my courtiers...... But after all, there are exceptions. In case Feng Yi's head is confused and he wants to rebel, I also have a strategy! ”

"Geng Chun is guarding in the area of Miyang, which is the barrier between Luoyang and Guanzhong, once Feng Yi rebels and unites with Kui Huan, Geng Chun can also resist it to the west of Tongguan!" Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Remember, when the emperor's third rule, you must always leave yourself a back hand, leave your hole cards, and prevent accidents!" ”

…………

A few years later, under the leadership of Zang Gong, the commander of the Northern Route Army and the general of Fuwei, and the commander of the Southern Route Army, the Great Sima Wu Han, the army of Shu attacked the city all the way, and successively approached the city of Chengdu, starting a protracted siege war.

However, the Shu army was not easy to fight.

After a bloody battle for a long time, the Han army entered the war with losses.

In the end, Chengdu ran out of grain and grass, and could not hold on, so the city surrendered to the Han army.

Shu County Taishou Zhang Kan was in charge of the place, so he took the lead in entering the city, the first thing he did after entering the city was to pick up the treasury, collect its treasures, autumn was selfless, all were sealed in order, compiled a list, and sent to Luoyang by horse, and submitted to Liu Xiu. Then Zhang Bang announced that he comforted the people and the people of Shu.

Three days later, Wu Han led his troops into the city and launched a brutal revenge massacre, and the situation spiraled out of control.

So, Wu Han ordered that Gongsun Shu and Yancen would be exterminated, no matter the old or young, no one would be left, and he would not understand his hatred after killing, Zhang Kan had sealed the treasures of the treasury and could not move, so he would kill the family and wash Chengdu in blood, leaving a notoriety through the ages.

Liu Xiu was furious when he heard the news and fell silent.

"Prince, what do you think?" Liu Xiu asked again.

The prince said: "Wu Han plundered the army and undermined the name of his father's benevolence and righteousness, should he be severely punished?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled again: "How to punish!" ”

"Strip him of his title and demote him to the people!" The prince said.
