Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 931 The Secret of the Han Dynasty

After Fei Qian sent Zhang Liao away, he returned to Sucheng, because it would take a certain amount of time for the logistics and supplies of the large army to be sorted out, and the current situation was somewhat chaotic.

It is not unacceptable to go straight to Chang'an forcefully, but the problem that was originally a problem for Li Jue and Guo Si has become a problem that Fei Qian needs to face.

Yang Biao Huangfusong in the east and Ma Teng Han Sui in the west, are these people willing to sit down and line up to share the fruits?So if Fei Qian simply solves Li Jue and Guo Si, then no matter whether the strength of the east or west has not weakened, Fei Qian will naturally become a new opponent in these two aspects.

From comrade-in-arms to enemy, in fact, the change does not need to be too fast.

Of course, from the beginning to the end, if you see one and kill the other, you can beat the one who refuses to accept it. It's cool, but what about people?
What about money and food?
Fall from the sky?
Or is it like the kind of warlord in the later period of war, who would fight anyway if it didn't look pleasing to the eye.
What is the difference between that approach and the yellow turban thief?
However, the timing of this cut-in is a question worth considering.

When Fei Qian was thinking, suddenly Xun Chen came forward and reported some logistical materials and other matters that he and Xu Shu had dealt with. Sitting on the table, he was silent for a while without moving.

"You Ruo, is there something else?" Fei Qian looked at Xun Chen and said.

Xun Chen pinched his beard, took a breath, and said, as if he had made a decision, "If you become the ruler of Chang'an, how will the ruler want to govern the country?"

Huh?
Such a big topic?

Fei Qian put down the wooden tablet in his hand, sat up straighter, and said, "You Ruo, what do you mean by that?"

Xun Chen said: "With the power of a monarch, entering the Guanzhong, quelling the chaos of bandits, and suppressing the court hall, there should be no doubt. However... governing the country... the husband is the ruler, and the principles of all things will be followed tomorrow. If you go with it, if you go against it, you will be perilous, I don’t know..."

Xun Chen paused for a moment, looked at Fei Qian, and said seriously: "... I don't know how the king wants to treat it?"

"...how to govern?" Fei Qian repeated, thinking, but he didn't answer the question immediately, but continued to ask Xun Chen, "...you Ruo, if a certain...if he can't be appointed, he will how?"

Fei Qian probably knew what Xun Chen meant.Now the emperor of the Han Dynasty is young, so the matter of governing the country is of course handled by the ministers who assist the government.What's more, no matter whether it was Dong Zhuo or Wang Yun before, or even Li Jue and Guo Si now, they didn't have any intention of killing the emperor of Han and replacing him. Naturally, Xun Chen didn't let Fei Qian do such a thing, which is quite in the traditional concept. The matter of rebellion, but if Fei Qian really took over Chang'an and became a figure who could influence the emperor, then how to govern the country would of course need to be put on the agenda.

Xun Chen arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't you hear that you can know it, and you can use it. If you don't know it, you don't need it. Mencius said, those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others. Therefore, things are more important than governing people, not governing people." People too, governing people is the same as governing fate.”

Fei Qian nodded and said: "If you say this, you have been taught, but it is too early to talk about the governance of the country..."

Xun Chen spoke a bit awkwardly, but the meaning is very simple. Of course, it is also for Fei Qian's consideration. After all, at this point in time, even if there is no specific policy, there should be a general idea, so as not to really reach that point. When you are in a hurry, you don't know how to deal with it...

However, what Fei Qian said was not intended to delay or prevaricate. It is just that Fei Qian has not yet thought about the current Han Dynasty, the entire court and the countryside. The political form will be better, so how can we give Xun Chen a more accurate answer?
Xun Chen thought that Fei Qian was just perfunctory, so he looked at Fei Qian for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Shoushan Xuegong... In addition to teaching scriptures, Master Cai also taught "Tao Yuan Jing"... Junhou also studied under Duke Pang De of Jingxiang Lushan?"

What does it mean?
There seems to be such a thing when teaching the "Tao Yuan Jing".Cai Yong Cai old man has a lot of orphaned copies, so in addition to talking about some serious books on Confucian classics, he will also talk about some rare contemporary copies, and "Tao Yuan Jing" is...

Oh, I see.

So what is Xun Chen's attitude?
The knowledge of the Xun family, um, I have been to the Xun family before, and I have heard him talk about the Book of Changes, so...

So it seems that it can be said in this way.

"The way of heaven is natural, use it to control the destiny of heaven?" Fei Qian looked at Xun Chen, and suddenly said something.

Xun Chen couldn't help but shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty has done a lot of research on the knowledge of a certain family... So, the Marquis wants to use Huang Lao's way?"

Huang Lao is the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu.These two characters who couldn't get along with each other have become representatives of a school of thought.In fact, although Xunzi was classified as a Confucianist by later generations, it can be said that there are many thoughts that are biased towards Huang-Lao's learning. .

In the Han Dynasty, the Tao of Huang Lao had reached its peak, even the five colors, five elements and five virtues at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, and then the mother of the world, the friendship between the world, and the pursuit of heaven and earth in the Wenjing period. etc., are all dominated by Huang Lao's ideas.Huang-Lao's study is not a knowledge of gods and gods, nor is it just some alchemy and self-cultivation alchemy. ", administrative measures should not be used to excessively interfere with people's livelihood...

In the eyes of people of the Huang-Lao School, the kind of control of later generations is probably an act of disturbing the common people in the world.

However, Fei Qian also knows that, like Huang-Lao's theory, which advocates that the monarch should "govern by doing nothing", it is actually an overly ideal state, which is basically impossible to achieve, and this cannot keep up with the times. Variety.Although Huang Lao's theory has certain significance in terms of saving harsh things, saving money, and not seizing people's time, etc., the disadvantages are also very obvious...

Fei Qian also smiled, and did not directly deny Xun Chen's speculation, but said irrefutably: "I don't know if you think so?"

Unexpectedly, Xun Chen smiled wryly, shook his head and said: "If you only use Huang Lao, you will not be far behind."

Fei Qian was a little surprised, one is because Xun Chen said it so directly, and the other reason is that the previous guess was wrong, in fact, the Xun family didn't attach importance to Huang Lao's theory?
Xun Chen is not interested in Huang Lao's learning?

Or do you think the Six Arts is the best choice?

Fei Qian still decided to try again. After thinking for a while, he said: "The early prosperity of the Han Dynasty was followed by the collapse of the Qin Dynasty. The people lost their jobs, and the road was starved. Fu birth and nourishment. First there was Xiao Xiang, Cao Chen followed, Wenjing flourished, and the decayed millet and Chen, the government did not leave the house, and the world was peaceful. Penalties were rarely used, and the sinners were hopeful. People’s affairs were farming, and food and clothing were breeding. This government has What's wrong?"

It has to be said that the Han Dynasty became strong because of the adoption of Huang-Lao's academics, and it was precisely because of Huang-Lao's soft policy that the mutual social conflicts that had begun in the Warring States period were eased, and the original division For a long time, the people of the seven countries, which were full of hatred and disputes with each other, have been reorganized into a unified country. For this, Huang Lao's study is indeed indispensable.

Xun Chen nodded, but shook his head again, and said: "Your Majesty's words are also reasonable, but...Do you know why the King of Huainan rebelled?"

King of Huainan?
Who is it?

Oh.

"Abolish the law and practice evil, have a deceitful and hypocritical heart, use it to chaos the world, confuse the common people, double the ancestral temple, make false rumors, and fear that the crime will be added to the body, so do the opposite?" After thinking for a while, Fei Qian adopted a comparison that was "recognized" "The argument.

Xun Chen shook his head.

Isn't that what is recorded in history as it should be?

To be honest, what Fei Qian understands now is only some contemporary things. If you want to talk about things that were pushed back hundreds of years ago, Fei Qian is really not very clear, and naturally he doesn't understand some of the problems, so Fei Qian Qian then said directly to Xun Chen: "If you wish to speak bluntly..."

Xun Chen pondered for a while, and said: "The death of the king of Huainan, Huang Lao..."

what?
What Xun Chen meant was that King Huainan took too much medicine and died of heavy metal poisoning?

Hmm, wait.

Fei Qian thought of something, and suddenly frowned.

"Your Majesty, do you understand?" Xun Chen asked after seeing Fei Qian's expression.

Fei Qian said with a little hesitation: "...Could it be... Emperor Wu?"

Xun Chen nodded heavily, and said, "Exactly."

So, Fei Qian suddenly thought of another person and said, "...Then, Queen Mother Dou..."

Xun Chen shook his head, and said, "The Empress Dowager Dou should be enjoying her life...But it is also the time when Emperor Wu is in power..."

Fei Qian had a headache, and couldn't help rubbing his temples. According to Xun Chen, this matter is too messy, and he really needs to tidy it up.

Empress Dowager Dou, a character who appeared in my middle school textbooks, unexpectedly became vivid today, and became not only on paper, but a living person who had an impact on the entire history ...

According to Xun Chen, Empress Dowager Dou, no, people of any era including Queen Mother Dou, all admired Huang Lao's learning, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a man of great talent and boldness. How could he allow "government by doing nothing?" ", how can "the world is for the public"?Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, because only Confucianism can reflect his supreme status and allow his ambitions to be displayed...

But when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was young, the Empress Dowager Dou was still alive, not only the empress dowager, but also the empress dowager. Of course, those characters of Huang Laozhi were also alive, and they must have been the mainstream in the ruling and opposition parties at that time.

Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han endured it, and began to do it after the old empress dowager Dou died, so the King Huainan, who was originally highly praised by Emperor Wu of the Han, was "forced to rebel"?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is indeed the leader of a generation...

However, in this way, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Dou, King Huainan, who else is there?Who else played a role in such a historical change and participated in this change?Or was it affected by such a change?

Dong Zhongshu?Maybe it was just a flag that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pushed down the front desk to wave the flag for him?
However, after Confucianism replaced Huang Lao and became the orthodox thought of the country, Huang Lao did not completely disappear immediately.Most of the time, the feudal emperors knew that, as Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty said, it was "the overlord's way mixed with it", sometimes "confucianism outside and law inside", sometimes "Confucianism outside and Huang Lao inside"...

It’s not about embellishing anyone, but according to history, emperors like Tang Xuanzong, Song Huizong, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Kangxi all commented on the "Tao Te Ching" and had a full understanding of Huang Lao. "Government of Jing", "Government of Zhenguan", "Kaiyuan Prosperity", "Kangxi Prosperity", as well as the high economic and cultural prosperity of the Song Dynasty and the Enlightenment trend of thought in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties are all closely related to Huang-Lao thought, so there is also a sentence The common saying is "the way of governing the world, the Buddha in troubled times, Confucianism from order to chaos". , and the world is about to start to be chaotic. As for Confucianism, anyway, it has always been there from the beginning to the end...

Thinking too much, the train of thought is not only not clear, but even more confused. The countless questions that Fei Qian thought of not only failed to be fully explained, but kept circling in his mind, colliding with each other endlessly. , suddenly hit a spark, which shocked Fei Qian—the so-called history of the Three Kingdoms, is it really three big bosses leading a group of younger brothers to fight each other?
"How would you like to learn from the six arts?" Fei Qian rubbed his aching brows and said to Xun Chen.

Xun Chen shook his head again, and said, "Nowadays the world is in chaos, and the Six Arts cannot escape the blame. How can they be used again and again?"

This Xun Chen does not agree to use Huang Lao, nor does he agree to use Confucianism, so what else can he use?
Well, the Xun family, this...

"Could it be that you want someone to respect the virtuous with respect and respect the law and love the people?" Fei Qian said while looking at Xun Chen.

Xun Chen cupped his hands and bowed, and said: "The king is wise, this is the best choice. Yonghe was originally the land of the art of war. If the king regards 'law' as the foundation and 'ritual' as the model, it should be widely accepted." If you are talented, you will not be able to achieve great things in the world..."

Fei Qian waved his hands dumbfounded. How could I be wise or not? Mr. Huang vetoed it, and you didn’t approve of Six Arts, so this is all that’s left...

Wait, recall that Xun Chen said before that he and the Xun family had some different academic views, and was originally a "hermit" who was exiled by the family. Then it shows that the so-called "respecting the virtuous, respecting the law and loving the people" is not Xun Chen. Xun's mainstream thinking, so which one is Xun's mainstream thinking?
Regarding Fei Qian's question, Xun Chen didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "Xun's children have etiquette, six arts, and Huang Lao... But at present, Huang Lao is the main one..."

"Oh..." Fei Qian nodded, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he thought of something, so he pointed to Xun Chen and said word for word: "In this way, Lingdi Wenruo... is also a respected man of Huang Lao. study?"

Xun Chen raised his head abruptly, looked at Fei Qian for a while, then sighed slightly, and nodded silently.

Hearing this, Fei Qian couldn't help but have a weird thought in his mind, but this kind of thought made Fei Qian feel unbelievable, but it seemed to make sense, because such weird things happened in history...

But the question is, should I get involved in it now, or just let this matter continue?

After thinking about it, Fei Qian felt a little restless, couldn't help standing up, and turned around in the lobby...

Xun Chen didn't know why, and didn't ask or say anything, but sat quietly, as if waiting for Fei Qian's final consideration.

The dispute between Huang Lao and Confucianism, or this kind of political school struggle, did not only start during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose to support Confucianism at that time, and made a large group of people including Huang Lao. The useless ones are useless, and the disabled ones are disabled, but the Chinese tradition, everyone knows that the so-called gentleman's revenge is not too late for ten years, not to mention that this kind of hatred is probably passed down from generation to generation, not in a short period of time It can be said that if it is offset, it will be offset, so naturally there will be subsequent ups and downs in the political arena of the Han Dynasty...

Fei Qian's head was smoking from thinking about it, oh my god, how many secret things are hidden in this Han Dynasty!

Hidden in the Han Dynasty, or under the skin of aristocratic families, how many ghosts and ghosts are hidden?If Xun Youruo hadn't come to talk to Fei Qian today, Fei Qian might still be ignorant.

According to the customary analysis methods of later generations, whoever benefits is most likely to be the mastermind, so judging from the entire process of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is very clear...

What did the emperor gain?
What did the eunuch get?
What did the people gain?
No wonder in later generations, in Fei Qian's impression, Yuan Shu not only had a good relationship with the Baibo Army, but also had close contacts with the Black Mountain Army...

And old comrade...

Fei Qian suddenly felt a little dizzy, and cursed secretly in his heart, whoever believes that these aristocratic families are simply a group of unarmed scholars who can be manipulated at will, whoever can really be a fool.

In the Han Dynasty, this aristocratic family was really a cancer!The entire Han Dynasty is like a patient suffering from the cancer of the gentry. If it is treated, the effect will not be great, and it may cause massive bleeding. If it is not treated, it will be slowly controlled by the cancer, and eventually die the same...

"Youruo's meaning, I already know it..." Fei Qian said to Xun Chen, "There are many connections to this matter, I must think about it... If there is anything wrong in the future, please correct me..."

Xun Chen bowed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will try my best!"

It can only be like this first...

It's not easy for any dynasty or generation, as long as it is a dynasty of Chinese people.
