Chapter 179: I want to force the Son of Heaven to issue an edict! (Ask for subscription)
Xiahou Jian's body is thin and slender, his cheeks are sunken, and his face is bitter, he is quite strict in governing the "Book of Changes", and believes that the affairs of the court should be based on the "Book of Changes", and all disasters and auspicious things are hints from God to the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, for a long time, Xiahou Jian has been the doctor who has played the most to the imperial court.
Almost every resolution of the court, Xiahou Jian and his uncle Xiahou Sheng had to stand up and make a needle, and then play a long speech, from the three emperors and five emperors to filial piety and filial piety, the left one is not as good as the first Zhou Shengwang, and the right one is not in line with the ancient system of the first Zhou.
There isn't much they can change, but they don't stop for a moment.
Initially, they hoped to attract the attention of the imperial court in this way and obtain the emperor's promotion.
However, being able to govern the scriptures does not mean that they can govern the country, and Confucian scholars like Wang Ji and Zhang Anshi, who have the ability to govern the country, have long been promoted to substantive official positions.
Being left in Taixue shows that they do not have the ability to do so.
If Xiahou Jian accepts his fate, like other doctors, it will not be a bad thing to treat the scriptures well and bring a few more Confucian students with real talents and learning.
But many people, like Xiahou Jian, are reluctant to accept their fate, they always feel that they have no talent, so they slowly develop resentment.
Over time, playing Tiao Chen has become a way for them to win the reputation of Confucianism.
No one would bring up this matter in front of Xiahou Jian, but a doer like Huo Guang naturally saw it clearly.
……
Xiahou Jian coughed a few times, and said slowly: "The matter of the uncle being sent to prison, all the princes must already know, right?" ”
The incident happened five days ago, and it rained heavily for five days, but the news spread quickly in Chang'an.
Even, this news may have spread within Sanfu at this time.
"Not only the uncle, but also more than a dozen doctors in the court were sent to the edict prison by the county officials."
"The county magistrate issued an edict to let Tingwei and Zongzheng discuss their crimes, I am afraid that the punishment has already begun at this time."
Xiahou Sheng and the others did not commit the major crime of rebellion, at most they were convicted for their words, not to mention that they were still officials with good rank, so they would not be easily punished.
The reason why Xiahou Jian said this was to incite the atmosphere in the hall.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, some young doctoral disciples began to discuss indignantly, and Zuo just said that "the Son of Heaven is crazy and dissolute", "the court is dumb and unknown", and "the general is unbearable......
If they were outside, they would not dare to say these disobedient words, but here, with the cover of "righteousness" and "people's will", of course, they dare to speak at will.
At this time, Hu Chang, a doctor of the "Gu Liang Sutra", also said indignantly: "Emperor Xiaowu is reckless in his army, working the people and losing money, this is a saying that has long been set at the Salt and Iron Conference, and it is a big joke to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple number!" ”
"The young son is right, the county official wants to give Emperor Xiaowu the temple number, it is a chaotic edict, and it should not be obeyed, can't the hundred officials and ministers in the court even see this matter?" "Ram Sutra" Dr. Yan Gongsun also said gloomily.
"Hmph, they are all short-sighted meat eaters, although they learned the classics of my Confucianism, but when they got to the court, they had already become mediocre people who would only obey the edicts of the county officials, where do they remember what benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith are?" Xiahou Jian said rather sarcastically.
Among the Taixue, those who think that they have no talent are these three people, and they usually get together to discuss the government.
However, they only broke down and did not stand up, and they were much more serious about the government, but they never proposed any effective measures.
How to let the people have enough to eat, how to keep the Yellow River from overflowing, how to provide relief if there are natural disasters, how to fight back when the Xiongnu invaded the border, and how to deal with Wusun's request for help......
In the face of practice, they actually can't give a plan, so they can only keep saying "the present is not as good as the ancient" and "heaven and man are inductive".
"The general was a witness to the Salt and Iron Conference, did he also forget the evaluation of Emperor Xiaowu's merits by the virtuous literature at that time?" Hu Chang asked.
"General? I don't usually like to read, how can I know the true meaning of the words of the sage," Xiahou Jian laughed, and then said, "At this time and that time, at that time, the general needed virtuous literature to help him, so he naturally regarded him as a guest, but at this moment, I am afraid that we are already in the eyesore." ”
Although the doctoral disciples present were young and did not know much about the government and politics, they all had a heart that wanted to participate in the government affairs, so when they heard this moment, they were even more excited, and they began to scold "Huo Shi is a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it".
Xiahou Jian did not stop it, and let the disciples of the doctor scold.
What you want is to be excited.
However, it didn't take long for Xiahou Jian, who was secretly paying attention to the situation in the hall, to discover some anomalies.
Of the seven Doctor Officers including himself, only three of them spoke, but the rest never spoke, and the Doctor disciples they brought were all quieter.
Xiahou Jian seems to have some displeasure, he is the oldest of the seven doctoral officials in office, and Xiahou Sheng's status in the court is the most noble, so he always considers himself the "head of the doctoral officials".
He is now in his forties, and it is impossible for him to make a difference in the court, so he wants to be the pillar of Confucianism.
In this way, not only can they participate in the government by training their doctoral disciples to become officials, but they may also be able to interfere in the government by virtue of their fame among the people, and they can even be famous for generations.
However, Xiahou Jian has never found an opportunity, because although he has made achievements in governing the economy, he is not the only one after all, there are more Confucian scholars who have done well in his studies and have spread far and wide, not to mention, in the land of Qilu, there is also the Confucian family in Qufu.
Although Kong Anguo, the ninth grandson of Confucius, is already old, his grandson Kong Ba is a classmate with him, and his studies are no worse than himself, and he is faintly pressed by himself in all aspects.
Therefore, whether it is on knowledge or family, if Xiahou Jian wants to be the pillar of Confucianism, it is absolutely impossible without a chance.
And now, the opportunity is in front of him, that is, to take the opportunity of "Emperor Xiaowu went to the temple, Xiahou Sheng was unjustly imprisoned", gathered the power of Confucianism, forced the Son of Heaven to withdraw the edict, release Xiahou Sheng, and issue an edict.
If these things can be done, then Xiahou Jian's reputation will definitely surpass all the great Confucians in the world, and can even be compared to Dong Zi, who "deposed a hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone".
The temptation of fame and interests is too great, so Xiahou Jian is here today. Can't wait to call all the doctors and disciples.
To achieve this great event, at least the Confucian students of Chang'an must be kneaded together.
And now, four of the seven doctors are not the same, and this power is less than half.
After a while, Xiahou Jian coughed vigorously a few times, quieting down the discussion in the hall, and then planned to take the initiative.
"Just now, Duke Hu and Duke Yan have already expressed their opinions, what do the rest of the princes think about this matter?"
Xiahou Jian's gaze swept over the faces of several people, and finally stopped on the body of Tian Wangsun, a doctor of the Book of Changes: "Tian Gong, what do you think of this matter?" ”
In short, whether it is a disaster or an auspicious situation, it is related to the general trend of the world.
Just like today's events, Xiahou Sheng has just been sent to prison, and it has rained heavily for five days in the Sanfu area, which is a disaster in itself, if the two are connected, it can prove that the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven are disorderly, and the edict is naturally chaotic.
That's why Xiahou Jian asked Tian Wangsun's opinion first.
Tian Wangsun and Xiahou Jian are different, not very enthusiastic about the government, thinking that governing the economy is governing the economy, and governing the government is for the government, and only what the king does is indeed a chaotic government, can it be pushed back to the disaster, so as to give the king advice.
And not the other way around.
If there are only natural and man-made disasters, then it is attributed to the wrong governance of the Son of Heaven, that is, the Son of Heaven has been wronged, and the Son of Heaven will not be able to govern in the court.
"I don't know what happened in the court, and the matter has not yet been determined." Tian Wangsun said.
This made Xiahou Jian frown, which made it clear that he didn't want to participate in this matter.
"Hmph, this matter has been spread in Chang'an, why does Tian Gong still say that it has not yet been decided?"
"It's because it's so loud that there are different opinions."
"Uncle Jia is in prison at the moment, is it still fake?" Xiahou Jian asked aggressively.
"It's true that Shibo is in the edict prison, but I heard that Shibo did slander Emperor Xiaowu for being reckless and ruthless." Tian Wang Sun said without concession.
Xiahou Jian's eyes were gloomy and very displeased.
"Huh? Isn't that right? ”
"Emperor Xiaowu used troops for many years, but also forced by the Xiongnu to loot the Han, if the Xiongnu did not come, why should my Han fight back, not to mention that even if the government is biased, but the court has the rules of the court deliberations, how can I be contemptuous of the Han Dynasty as a faint monarch?" Tian Wangsun was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with Xiahou Jian's gloomy gaze.
"This is decided by the virtuous literature of the Salt and Iron Conference, has Tian Gong even forgotten about this matter?"
"My Tian Wang Sun has never participated in the Salt and Iron Conference, if I am fortunate enough to participate, I will definitely defend Emperor Xiaowu, not to mention, Emperor Xiaowu issued a Luntai edict in his later years, and set the national policy of cultivating life and recuperation, if there is no this, I am afraid there will be no good situation for my Han today."
After Tian Wangsun finished speaking, the other three doctors who did not speak also agreed, just like Liu He and Huo Guangchai, Emperor Xiaowu had merits and faults, which was a controversial matter.
If someone slanders it, naturally someone supports it, and this is normal.
At this moment, with the passage of time, more and more people realized that Emperor Xiaowu used troops frequently, but it was still out of public interest.
And Emperor Xiaowu not only has martial arts, but also Wenzhi, how can it be generalized.
What's more, even if Emperor Xiaowu has merit, he is worthy of this temple number - Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, are they meritorious and without fault, so they are called the temple number?
That being the case, the matter should not have been obstructed in the first place; Obstruction is not out of public intentions, but out of selfishness.
If you have selfish intentions, then it is impossible to be recognized by everyone.
Today's four more 10,000 words, this is the second update, three minutes after the second update. The last two are in the afternoon.
