Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Che opened the scroll and saw lines of ancient official script. Dong Zhongshu's calligraphy was very beautiful, and the small seal script was both ancient and refined.  "I majored in "Gongyang Chunqiu" and minored in Zhou Li. I once sat down with Taifu Han to discuss Taoism, and painstakingly collected and compiled it into a book for many years. This article is the beginning of the main discussion."  "The Tao cannot be separated even for a moment. It can be separated, but it is not the Tao."  Therefore, a gentleman is cautious about what he does not see and is afraid of what he does not hear.  Dong Zhongshu holds a scripture in his hand and lectures on the scriptures. Since coming to Chang'an City, his eyes have been opened. In the past two years, he has changed his habit of discussing the yin and yang of heaven and man. He mainly talks about Confucian benevolence, etiquette and righteousness, and he never leaves the righteousness of etiquette.  The doctor ordered Shi Jian to write quickly while burying his head in the case. Zhan Shi and Shi Qing personally polished the ink for his brother. The two of them looked nervous for fear of accidentally missing a sentence.  Liu Che beamed when he heard the word "zhongyong". The emperor liked the word "zhongyong" the most. It comes from the fact that the word "zhongyong" is obedient and obedient. Wan Shijun Shi Fen was a "zhongyong" and obedient minister. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty liked Wan Shijun, and so did Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.  Wan Shijun, if Wan Shijun was not too old, the emperor would definitely invite him to be the prime minister.  The members of the Shi family are all good ministers. They are obedient, sensible, and cautious. They never stir up trouble. They think of the emperor in both public and private matters. In the eyes of the emperor, they are role models for ministers and role models for all civil and military officials.  "It's a pity that the emperor boasted about Wan Shijun's great achievements, but he couldn't get an enthusiastic response from the civil and military officials. The officials and ministers are both the emperor's ministers and men of flesh and blood. No one wants to be the emperor's loyal dog for no reason.  Liu Che praised Shi Jian for his intelligence and ability on different occasions, just like ogling a blind man. No minister jumped out to flatter him enthusiastically, let alone said some words that the emperor expected, such as I want to be the second Shi Jian.  Dong Zhongshu had his own reasons for changing his temper. Jinmamen waited for the imperial edict for more than half a year.  I went to the Weiyang Palace many times to meet the emperor, and I often talked about the various theories of disasters and strange things caused by heaven and man. Every time I said, "The country will suffer unjust consequences. But the sky will send disasters first to warn them, but they don't know how to reflect on themselves. And they will also send out strange things to warn them.  I don¡¯t know how to change, but I am injured and defeated.¡± The more people talk about the induction, the fewer times the emperor summons him. In recent months, he has not even been summoned once, which is far less powerful than his best friend Gongsun Hong.  Dong Zhongshu keenly realized that the emperor hated the telepathy between heaven and man, at least he did not like to overemphasize the theory of telepathy between heaven and man. Half of the three strategies he mentioned were in line with the emperor's thoughts.  ?Although the feeling of heaven and man is not pleasant.  But the divine right of kings was very popular with the emperor.  "Deposing hundreds of schools of thought and commending the Six Classics were immediately rejected. However, the unification of the Spring and Autumn Period, respecting the king and fighting against foreigners won the emperor's attention.  Taixue has been completed long ago, and the restructuring of talent training is also in progress. Opposing Ren Zizi's election has no effect for the time being.  Half of the three strategies of heaven and man were wrong, and Dong Zhongshu's self-confidence was also severely damaged. If the emperor had not been worried about keeping him by his side, Dong Zhongshu would have been sent far away to the vassal state to live as a mid-level bureaucrat.  After experiencing the blow of being kicked out of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, he studied hard at the Wei Qihou Mansion for two years.  Dong Zhongshu's personal political quality has been greatly improved. At least he knows how to seize the opportunity and do what he wants.  In today's world, the Holy Emperor is a ruler with great potential.  If the emperor is successful, he must ask his ministers to do nothing. A strong emperor cannot collide with a strong minister. Qin Shihuang does not need Guan Zhong. One of the two must make concessions.  Dong Zhongshu was talking about the Doctrine of the Mean in the "Book of Rites". At this time, the "Book of Rites" and "Book of Rites" among the Thirteen Classics had not yet come out. The remaining "Book of Rites" are fragmentary chapters from the Confucius era, and the Doctrine of the Mean was only  There are only a few paragraphs left, and the rest of the content lies in the free play of the speaker.  Liu Che listened with great interest. A few years ago, he was not in the mood to listen to Confucian benevolence and etiquette.  At that time, he was still a prince, young and energetic, and could not stand the conservative system.  It took the emperor three years to realize that Confucianism did have merit. No wonder even Cao Shi himself attached great importance to Confucianism.  The theory of benevolence and propriety has a great role in promoting the stability of the court in the country in charge.  What is even more wonderful is the idea of ????unification and centralization, respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians. Even with the "On the Downfall of Qin" as a basis, it could not curb the emperor's ambition to centralize power.  Ambition is not a conscious action, but is reflected in the handling of every government affairs. The emperor feels more and more that the efficiency of the existing system in handling government affairs is too low. Fortunately, he has avoided the huge impact of system changes and warned himself not to make random changes. It is just personal.  The tendency will inevitably produce certain deviations, and the emperor's heart will change.  The one-hour and three-hour lecture gradually came to an end, Dong Zhongshu withdrew, and the Xuanshi Hall returned to silence.  "Your Majesty, the princes gathered at Pingyang Hou Mansion for a closed-door meeting." Liu Che's expression remained unchanged: "Have you found out the main content of their meeting?" "We haven't found out yet, so the princes are keeping silent."It's just that according to inside observations, the princes looked happy, not worried or angry.  " "Then don't worry about them, a group of princes can't change the world.  " "Here.  " Everyone retreated, and Liu Che groaned and said: "What a field man, he was able to trick me. The princes and I are suspicious of each other, and they are very scheming.  "Liu Che will not admit that his mind has changed. Tian Fu must have tempted him to make a big mistake. He cannot do without the full support of the princes for the time being. Once violent political turmoil is triggered, the newly pacified Mitsukoshi and Yelang Kingdoms will still  It was going to happen again, and there was going to be another bloody storm in Chang'an City. Cao Shi's silent response made him very uneasy. He only expressed his gratitude to the emperor for his kindness. Zhuangzhu failed to see more details. The Yulin Cavalry was trained by Cao Shi.  Elite, 15,000 people all came from the military merit system. More than 1,000 people died and were quickly replaced. There were 8,000 heavy cavalry that were well trained. A strong boy of 17 or 18 years old could wear heavy armor and ride a war horse.  Riding back and forth in the south of the city, it will take two or three years to almost take shape. It is most uneconomical to break up with the princes at this juncture. Even if they want to deal with the princes, they should not do it in the next few years. Liu Che has already made a plan in his mind, 70% to 80% of the time.  There are many redundant meritorious princes, and only 20 to 30% of the useful princes can be left. You can clearly see who is useful and who is useless. By clearing out the redundant princes, you can also recover many wealthy princes.  Prefectures and counties have greatly contributed to the court's tax revenue. Liu Che thinks a lot. Two years are enough for him to think about the relationship between monarch and ministers. He feels that all the ministers in the court are not a problem, the princes and princes are not a problem, and the princes are not a problem.  , only Pingyang Hou Cao Shi is a big trouble. He is talented, capable, prestigious and has a close relationship. Handling the relationship between the two is crucial to the trust of the court. If it is not handled well, it will lead to political turmoil and the impact will be weak.  Zhou Yafu unjustly died in the imperial court, or even worse. Will the princes take the risk and carry out bloody revenge? Will the princes and kings be at ease and remain obedient to the court? The peace in the south and the strong neighbor in the north will all be the same.  This is a problem. Liu Che¡¯s idea is not to change the basic relationship. Pingyang Hou Cao Shiyi is his right-hand man, but the relationship between the two parties needs to be adjusted. In the past, the relationship between teacher and student, brother-in-law and brother-in-law will become the emperor and minister in the future.  Falling into an eerie silence, the buzz among the people was very strange. Huainan Hou Liu An got up early and took the birdcage out for a walk. He walked through the streets and alleys to the breakfast shop in the West Market. "Ouch!  Junhou came early. Are there some good shrimp dumplings to try today?  " "Wrapped in tofu skin?"  " "You are an expert. It is made of tofu skin. The river fresh food was shipped from the north gate this morning. The river shrimps were still alive and kicking an hour ago. The soup base is made of chicken soup, with green onions and seasonings. I am sure you will like it.  .  "Liu An put down the birdcage and teased the myna in the cage. This bird was a treasure that his daughter Liu Ling got from Yelang Kingdom. The yellow-faced and black-haired myna is not seen in the north. "Squeaky, Huainan  Hou Jia is here!  "Brother Myna opened his wings and shouted. The early diners cast curious glances, and someone with good intentions said: "I heard that there is a bird in the south called the Myna that can speak human language. Could it be that this bird is the Myna.  " "This bird's name is Brother Myna, and it comes from the wild jungles of the southwestern Yi.  "Liu An proudly introduced Brother Myna. I heard that this bird is native to the vicinity of Magadha and is distributed in small quantities in the southwest. The diners kept their eyes wide open for fear of missing the legendary bird. Magadha is in Chang'an City  It is very famous. Everyone from the imperial ministers to the traders and footmen know the name of Magadha. In the eyes of the citizens of Chang'an, Magadha is the equivalent of the land of gold. There are countless good things in Magadha. It is said that gold is rich there.  , silver, brass, steel, stone honey, gems, tortoiseshell, cat's eye and other good things, as well as precious wood and more precious spices, that was the most worth exploring place in Liu An's house in the eyes of the Western Han people.  The brother is a male and female pair. In addition, there is a pair of myna brothers presented to the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother in the Linguang Palace of Ganquan Mountain. There is also a pair of myna brothers in the Changqiu Palace. There is also a pair of myna brothers in the Weiyang Palace of the Emperor, and there is also a pair in the Pingyang Hou Mansion.  There are only five pairs of myna in the world, which shows how rare this thing is. Liu Ling also got many new things from the southwestern Yi. She has never returned from the south. I heard that she wants to open a road to Magadha.  This business was supported by Pingyang Hou, who suddenly transformed into a veritable businesswoman. The Huainan Hou Mansion could maintain the extravagant expenses of the lords and kings era, all because Liu Ling made money by selling goods from the north and south. "Hey, listen.  He said no, Pingyang Hou seems to be dissatisfied with the emperor's reward!  " "Who says it's not the case? The great merits of destroying two countries are turned into one country. The great merits of one country are wiped out for no reason. No one can be happy with it.  " "I heard that your majesty was deceived by slander and there are treacherous ministers in the court.This treacherous minister has brought great harm to the country and the people, and he is extremely powerful and prominent in the court.  " "Is that what you're talking about" "Shh!  Shut up and shut up. Don't talk if you don't want to cause trouble.  "Liu An filled his mouth with shrimp dumplings, and the thick soup flowed freely in his mouth. He secretly sighed that it was indeed a delicacy in the world. If you don't go to Chang'an, you don't know how big the world is. "Tofu was invented only a few years ago, dried tofu, tofu skin, tofu  Rolls, fermented bean curd and other bean products were popping up like mushrooms after rain, which made him appreciate the outstanding people in Chang'an City again. After breakfast, Liu An walked home for a walk, and he was slightly surprised when he met a dusty knight crossing the street.  : ¡°Isn¡¯t this person from Pingyang Hou Mansion?  I remember that I was stationed in Hehuang Valley. Why did I come back?  "(To be continued)
