At this time, the civil servants on Cao Cao's side had basically sorted out the cause and effect. On the one hand, they secretly sighed that Chen Xi was big-hearted, and on the other hand, they started to add fuel to the flames, making the situation even more difficult to deal with.
To be honest, none of the senior civil servants under Cao Cao came from orthodox Confucianism. Apart from using Confucianism to govern the country, apart from using its virtues and ideas, the real philosophy of governing the country is the so-called rule of law with benevolence as the core. In fact, it means peace in the world. It¡¯s time to whitewash and whitewash.
Because governing the world with propriety and benevolent government is actually nonsense, so when it comes to truly governing the world, Confucianism only uses the other party's moderation and morality. The legalists and Huang Lao are the ones who really do it. The main value of Confucianism is to restrain officials. the person¡¯s personal moral cultivation.
As for ability, the core of Confucianism is self-denial and restoration of propriety, and then benevolence is extended from self-denial and restoration of propriety. Generally speaking, Confucianism can be regarded as moral cultivation. This is also a prosperous dynasty. As long as Confucianism is used, the basic requirement for an official is virtue, not talent.
Of course, when later Confucianism even distorted its own morality, naturally the entire Confucian community became garbage, and cynics appeared. You must know that what Confucianism pursues is to be a person who knows etiquette and is moral before he can pursue other more important things. Lots of stuff.
In the later period, this prerequisite was distorted, and Confucianism completely destroyed people. Although it is indeed average for officials to be untalented and virtuous, at least they will not harm others, and they will also help new talented people. But if you have no morals and talent, no one will care about you. If you can't kill people for profit, then why should you be an official?
As for troubled times, let alone that. Those who use Confucianism can only lose their lives. If you major in Legalism in troubled times, you cannot say that only Legalists can solve these troubled times. Rather, it should be said that only Legalists can bring order to the world as quickly as possible. Cure from chaos.
The Legalists are best at curing chaos, and they are also best at taking the blame for rulers. If you look carefully at history, there are very few cruel officials who deceive the people. Their main job is to bring down the powerful and benefit the people.
The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was naturally a time of chaos, so it was naturally impossible for Cao Cao and Sun Ce's men to use Confucianism. Although Xun Yu, Zhou Yu and others also had high moral cultivation, you cannot say that hundreds of people were not highly cultivated and handsome. , history can prove this.
Therefore, at this time, Xun Yu and others were happy to watch Confucian jokes. Even if Xun Yu had a good temper, it did not mean that Xun Yu could endure those old guys in the court who did not know how to work, only talked, and had no self-awareness. The guy is pointing fingers at himself.
Xun Yu wanted to tell those guys that in fact you are all rubbish, and even if you are tied together, you are no match for me. However, as a well-educated, quality, moral, and good-looking handsome guy, Xun Yu faced those guys. The old guy laughed at his sarcasm without saying a word.
But now that Chen Xi is so powerful, it is also good for people like them. Naturally, Cao Cao happily pokes this thing up and gives those officials a loud slap.
I have long disliked those guys. Unlike in history, Cao Cao had an absolute advantage in the court. In the past, Cao Cao could only account for close to one-half of the say in the court, so to give Zaozhi, Zheng Hun and others When people were granted official positions, they were all rejected.
The saying that the grade of craftsmen should not be higher than the fifth grade was blocked. Cao Cao was scolded at that time. How many people had worked in farming to feed the people, but he only gave the order to serve as an official to the sixth grade eunuch? Cao Cao was very angry at the time, and Taiguan Ling is still a nephew of the Yang family who doesn¡¯t know anything about farming!
Cao Cao's previous goal was to only get a Taicang order for Zao. Although he was not a member of the Jiuqing, he was still a high position under the Jiuqing and was in charge of the world's food and grass. However, he was given a subordinate officer of Taicang under the title of Sinong, and he was completely Without real power, you are destined to be commanded.
Cao Cao wanted to ask at that time, which one of you can farm? Those who can't farm are not allowed to work. No wonder everyone in the world is starving to death.
Of course, Xun Yu stopped him from saying this. If he really said this, he would not only fall out with the officials, but also the emperor's face would probably not be good.
Of course, compared with Ma Jun, Zaozhi is already pretty good. Zaozhi at least gave him the position of a Taiguan Ling Congguan, while Ma Jun was directly given a doctor of Mingjing. Ma Jun wanted to say at that time that you are not as good as you. Let me go back to my hometown. The doctorate in my hometown didn¡¯t require me to read every day!
Ma Jun's hobby is to improve various machines. Although his ability to invent is not very powerful, his ability to improve is very good and powerful. In this era, he can optimize any machine he gets his hands on. However, he needs time. ¡
Unfortunately, since he became Dr. Mingjing, Ma Jun has left his mechanical optimization and was forced to read books. Ma Jun said that he was about to explode. He wanted to give Dr. Mingjing, who mocked him every day, a crossbow bolt!
In short, many of Cao Cao's ministers failed to get promoted due to one reason or another. Until Cao Cao and Ma Teng joined forces to suppress Yang Biao, the courtIt started to become their home.
But even so, Cao Cao was upset that he could not reach the fifth level of his craftsmanship. He also wanted to seal Zaoji for a while, but he didn't even propose it. Zaoji himself refused. The hearts of the farmers were all broken, so we still have to do it. Go farm.
It was under such circumstances that Cao Cao acted to add fuel to the flames. He couldn't stand the superior arrogance of those Confucian officials. Not to mention how powerful they are, why are you people superior to other officials? Wait a minute, who do you think you are?
Not much to say, I have been wanting to mess with you for a long time, and it is great to have the opportunity this time. Anyway, we are not our people who are standing at the forefront of the storm now. If I can drag you into the water, that would be great. If I don¡¯t drag you into the water, Cookie will What a scam, he's not one of ours anyway, so I don't feel sorry for him.
With this idea in mind, Cao Cao began to work hard to accumulate his own strength, and was ready to kill the Confucianists who controlled the world's tongue in public opinion at any time.
"Now we are waiting for Cookie to arrive. Whether we can tear the Confucian robe to pieces depends on this time." Zao Zhi's expression was slightly cold. Although his original intention at the beginning was indeed to support the people, this cannot change the fact that he has entered the world. Officialdom, the idea of ??advancement.
The Confucianists or the scholars¡¯ trampling on the workers hindered his path to advancement. Since he can overthrow those people now, why wouldn¡¯t he do it?
"Xu Zijiang's list must have been authorized by Chen Zichuan. Otherwise, where would the top spot be?" Xun You said calmly, "So this matter has a high chance of success. I'm afraid this time the banner of Baijia will be raised. !¡±
Confucianism is indeed trying to assimilate the Baijia. Even now, because the scholar class is close to the ruling class, those families who inherit the Baijia as their family tradition have put on Confucian robes, but this does not mean that these families will be in Confucianism. He was still wearing Confucian robes when he was knocked off the altar!
