Chapter 16 Examining Ethnography
Since arriving in Luoyang, I have always wanted to test the ethnology, but I can't be empty.
Recently, Liu Renliang lost power, Cui Cha resigned, and Shen Sanwen finally finished his happiness, put down the fun in his hand, and took time out.
If these little things dare to come blind in their own school and lose their minds, let them know why the flowers are so popular.
There are talents under the stick, and Shen Sanwen will never be soft.
At the beginning of the study of ethnography, it was the three-character classic, the enlargement of the virtuous text, and then the book of filial piety, the Analects, the rites, music, archery, the royal, the book, and the number.
The first to investigate is the son-in-law.
When the students sat down, they found that the person standing on the podium was not the master of the past, but the powerful man who could decide their fate. The elders in the family have already said that the family study is all the gift of the master of the horse, and it costs ten thousand gold, just so that the Shen family can change the current decline, this is a master who can take you to the sky.
Shen Sanwen spoke directly, "Today I came to inspect everyone's learning results, I hope you can have your own thoughts, express your own opinions, and don't follow the crowd." ”
The audience replied neatly, "Yes." ”
Shen San asked: "The sage has clouds, and he can learn from the past and learn the new, and he can be a teacher." What a solution. ”
"Every time I review knowledge, I can have a new understanding, a different state of mind, a different attitude, a different position, and a different opinion."
"Looking back on old knowledge and learning old history, you can foresee the future, solve problems, and apply what you have learned."
"If you only accept the teachings and memorize the words of the sages, your knowledge is limited, and it is difficult to understand the deep meaning of the inner meaning, and there are still deficiencies. Therefore, only by being able to learn from the old can we be a teacher. ”
Shen Sanwen nodded, he can learn well, and the head of the talk is the Tao.
Shen San asked to continue the investigation, "Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, how to make water carry a boat?" ”
"The people are like water, and if they use it properly, they will receive the best of it, and if they use it improperly, the boat will be destroyed, and the people will die. They should be guided according to the situation, so that people will love their country and be loyal to the king. Young children can be protected by the government, people in the prime of life can be self-reliant, and when they are old, they will be supported by the elderly, and the people will love the king like a father and love the country like a family. ”
"The water is water for all things without fighting, and if the people are water, if they are properly pacified, they will live and work in peace and contentment. Ensuring the survival of the people will naturally win the hearts and minds of the people. Do not levy tyranny, and lightly expropriate, which can naturally make the water movement and stillness appropriate. ”
"People's hearts need talents to slowly cohesion. A wise monarch appoints the right people to govern the country. The king guides, the subordinates decide, the king loves the people like a son, and the country is rich and the people are strong. Nurtifying, gathering, and using talents is the beginning of a country's prosperity. Today's imperial examination is the way to select talents and a good way to govern the country. ”
Shen San asked: "What do you think of the harem participating in politics?" ”
"The harem participates in politics, which shows that the emperor is mediocre, the harem is virtuous and virtuous, and the people are miserable."
Isn't that how kings rule?
"When the harem participates in politics, it is often the dictatorship of relatives, Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty, Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Yang Jian of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are all rebellions in the harem and disasters for relatives."
"Women value relatives and ignore reason, and they are more obedient to their personal wishes and intuition in things, rather than the righteousness of the world, and participating in politics does more harm than good."
"The harem is in politics, relatives are in power, and the emperor is like a puppet, absolutely not."
"Women's participation in politics is much stronger than that of eunuchs, and the ruling of the clan is rarely prosperous, but it is the eldest grandson Empress, Empress Wu, Empress Feng, Empress Lu, and Empress Xiao that can be remarkable and can stretch peace for the country for a hundred years."
I can still listen to this last one, but Shen Sanwen doesn't bother to argue with this group of children.
Then I inspected the concubines, and they also grew very well.
Today's inspection made Shen Sanwen quite satisfied.
However, it also reminded Shen San to ask a very important question.
In the idea of monarchs and ministers transmitted by Confucianism, it is against women's interference in politics.
Women's participation in politics is all along the path of men conquering the world and women conquering men.
Therefore, Emperor Wu successfully ascended to the throne. Gaozong's recognition, long-term management, tempered ability, perseverance and endless desire for power are all indispensable.
This made Shen Sanwen a little strange and a little worried.
Now His Majesty is unwilling to let go of power, and he is also guarding against the next generation, so naturally he will not willingly establish the imperial princess.
Traditional public opinion has no reason to pass on power and titles to women.
Emperor Wu's throne was given by his son, and it was the reincarnated gods and Buddhas who came to save the common people, and Emperor Wu's ability was recognized by the first emperor and many courtiers.
The princess is much worse than her.
Even if you can control the government for a while, how can you last long?
At the heart of all this is the fact that men and women have never been equal.
If Li Xian or Li Lun are supported, most people will recognize it, which is also consistent with their interests, and the family property and title are passed on to their descendants. If Princess Taiping is established, does it mean that the daughter can also inherit the family property in the future, and bring him to her husband's family and pass it on to her son? If the husband's family is powerful, how can the interests of the original family be protected?
It's an unsolvable situation that no one will approve of except for the unemployed vagrants who vote with their feet.
Possession of power is different from the exercise and inheritance of power. Emperor Wu can be the emperor and exercise the power of the emperor, but he may not be able to smoothly pass her to the person he likes. And Emperor Wu is not a person who pursues equality between men and women, otherwise Shangguan Wan'er would not just be the prime minister of the inner court. She just became the first emperor of the ages, chose the people she took advantage of, and set up some female officials in the inner court, but she did not open the women's imperial examination and select women as officials outside.
Just by controlling the government and appointing their henchmen, will these courtiers be like Zhang Khan Zhi and Yao Chong, and turn around and take refuge in the orthodoxy in their hearts?
The momentum of the reincarnation of the Buddha like Emperor Wu for the princess is easy to arouse the disgust of Emperor Wu.
In ten years, it is obviously impossible to achieve equality between men and women and to legitimize the inheritance of imperial power. It is even more impossible to expect Emperor Wu to pass on the throne to the princess, and Shen Sanwen feels that the princess will not let Emperor Wu carry this pot.
There is only one way to seize power by force and bloody repression?
Shen Sanwen believed what he thought of, and the princess naturally knew it. It's just that he has been immersed in the illusion of the princess's power, calculating who should be in the civil and military affairs of the new court, who can be used by the current court, who can play a role, and how much power the princess can have.
But ignoring the social cause and effect behind this power, the difficulty of women entering politics.
Shen Sanwen told the princess the truth about this feeling.
The princess was not surprised in the slightest, "It's good that you understand, there are some things that can't be rushed." That school did have some use. These scholars are extraordinary, and in time they will be able to help us. ”
Shen San asked, "What about you?" If you know, why don't you persuade me and explain it to me? ”
Princess: "It's best if you can figure it out for yourself." ”
yes, if I'm lagging behind you in everything, how useless I am, at least now I figured it out.
Shen San asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Princess: "Don't worry so much, don't worry so much. All these things you have prepared for me can be used, and there are some things that cannot be argued, so I can only wait. ”
