In fact, Liu Xuande didn't have an opportunity in the early stage, but he easily abandoned it.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was named the lieutenant of Anxi County, Dingzhou. Don't feel that this position is too small, in fact, the county lieutenant is the highest military commander of a county, and he controls the county soldiers of a county.

Even in the future, the princes of various families crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and many of them were either county commanders or county lieutenants.

And the one who whipped the superintendent was not Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei himself.

At the beginning, if it wasn't so willful, the means would have been more ingenious. But there is a place to survive and start early, and there will be no more worries about the first half of life.

It was not so that Cao Cao almost unified the north and began to compete for power in the south, so he seized the opportunity to occupy a piece of territory......

At that time, to be honest, Longzhong, who is the Marquis of Zhuge Wu, has a really low chance of realization.

But Liu Shengzhi was completely different, he didn't waste the slightest opportunity, and he had already occupied the Shudi, Guanzhong, and Jingzhou mentioned by Longzhong.

And I don't know how much the strategic situation is better than Liu Xuande!

Liu Xuande encountered two powerful opponents, and the strategic situation was extremely bad. Jiangzuo Sun Quan is eyeing the tiger, and Cao Wei in the north is unified, and the soldiers are strong and strong.

But what Liu Shengzhi is encountering now is the Jiangzuo split, which is in chaos, and the family is always eager for Liu Shengzhi to send troops to rescue.

The core of the northern Central Plains is in ruins, and there are no strong opponents.

And then Hou Yan and Tuoba are now both defeated, far less powerful than Cao Wei.

This strategic environment is much better, so the Han family Longting dared to make a desperate bet on Liu Shengzhi.

even said that Liu Shengzhi won the world. I am already six or seven percent sure.

It can even be said that as long as Liu Shengzhi himself does not make any fatal mistakes. The world will be decided.

Therefore, this time. Emperor Guangwu said slowly: "I'm not worried about you winning the world, but other places still want to remind you." ”

Liu Shengzhi nodded and said, "It's difficult to fight the world, and it's even more difficult to defend the world!"

Guangwu smiled, Liu Shengzhi understood this truth, it was the best. However, it should be mentioned that he still has to say, and asked after a deep sigh: "Do you know why the former Han died?"

Of course, this former Han refers to the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Shengzhi thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized. Combined with the life experiences of Emperor Guangwu, he said: "Confucianism!"

"Yes, the former Han Dynasty died in Confucianism!"

When the former Han Dynasty was first established, it was faced with a question of legitimacy.

From antiquity to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all countries have inherited from ancient times. There has never been a man who has taken over the world from scratch like Gao Zu......

This is a question of legitimacy, and a question of how to interpret it theoretically.

Therefore, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was the question of whether Gaozu established the Great Han Dynasty as a usurper or a revolution.

This revolution is the meaning of Shang Tangge's Mandate of Heaven!

It was not until later that he was supported by the emperor. The theory of revolution has only prevailed over the theory of usurpation by force.

It's just that, later, this doctrine became a double-edged sword, a sharp weapon against the former Han himself.

By the end of the Han Dynasty. Confucianism made a big noise, believing that the Han Emperor had lost his morality, and it was time for a new revolution. It is even believed that the Han family should give the Zen position to the virtuous!

So Emperor Han Ai in order to cope. even made a farce of the Zen position for himself.

Later generations seemed to be farce, and at the time it had a profound meaning.

That is to say. I admit that my Han family should be in the Zen position, but the virtuous person is still myself.

But. This is how the opening was made. Since you have given yourself the Zen position, it shows that you also admit that the Han family is immoral.

In this way, there was a Confucian iconic figure, and Wang Mang, who met the standards of a saint in almost all aspects, accepted the Han family Chan concession and seized the world.

Although Wang Mang's governance was a mess, he governed the country in strict accordance with Confucianism. Transform the world according to the ideal pattern recorded in the Book of Rites......

And then the egg...... Everyone knows what happened next.

Therefore, the rising Emperor Guangwu himself was a Confucian student in Taixue, who was studious all his life and could not release the scroll. Even when the army was on the march, he did not put down the poetry book. Vigorously develop Confucianism and nurture scholars and Confucianism.

Then the Eastern Han Dynasty resurged, and Confucianism changed with it, thoroughly advocating loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. Therefore, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, scholars sharpened their righteousness and were loyal to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Even when they were in danger in the end, countless heroes and heroes who read the books of Confucianism came one after another with the intention of saving the world.

Even Cao Cao himself in the early days had a heart set on saving the Han Dynasty. When he said that the tombstone was engraved with Cao Cao, the general of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that his thoughts were also very real......

But it is no longer as good as the Western Han Dynasty, and Confucianism is eager to change the appearance of the dynasty immediately.

This is similar to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, and countless people still pledged their allegiance to the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty. After Yashan, there were 100,000 Confucian students who jumped into the sea and died in the country.

In the Ming Dynasty, no one paid attention to Chongzhen's knocking on Jingyang Bell......

Among them, there is a very profound truth. Emperor Guangwu didn't say it clearly, but he believed that Liu Shengzhi was a smart person and he could figure it out.

"I, the Liu family, rule the world together with the world's talents!" Liu Shengzhi said slowly.

"How about the loss of power in this way?"

"The world can have the best of both worlds! I should set up a cabinet, so that the heroes of the world will compete in the cabinet, and the Son of Heaven will bow down to mediate it!"

"Good!"

Seeing that Liu Shengzhi had already made a successful calculation, Guangwu stroked his palms and laughed. There are still two points that are not said, that is the Haoqiang family.

However, this and Confucianism are just two sides of the same coin. Liu Shengzhi already had the experience after the Sui and Tang dynasties to solve it.

"So humane!"

"But in the Netherworld Shinto, what is the trouble?" Liu Shengzhi suddenly asked.

Guangwu nodded lightly and smiled, and said slowly: "There is a small change in the world in three hundred years, and a big change in a thousand years.

Since the collapse of the Heavenly Court in ancient times, it has almost changed for thousands of years now!

Now a great change is coming, both a variable and a catastrophe. The ancient ghosts that are hidden without a trace, all the great sages are about to be born. But you're careful!"

When Liu Shengzhi heard this, although he had some mental preparations, he still suppressed the arrogance just now.

"If you want to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, you must remember to be wary of that Yellow God Yuecai!"

"Yes!" Liu Shengzhi nodded solemnly, this was one of the most powerful enemies of the Han family in Shinto.

Last time, I had the opportunity to take a picture, and it was really powerful. Liu Shengzhi naturally knows to be vigilant!

This is often the case in this world, the stronger you are, the more powerful you are, the same powerful your friends and enemies will be.

Confucius is not as good as himself without friends! This sentence probably explains it like this, right? )
