Shuhan

Du Wei's figure is still tall and straight. Although he is over fifty years old, he has no rickets at all. The hair is already gray, but it is combed meticulously. His face was profound and calm, and his eyes shone with wisdom, as if he could see everything in the world.

The slight crow's feet at the corners of his eyes are witnesses of his years of experience, adding a bit of vicissitudes and weight.

The beard on the chin is carefully trimmed, making it appear neat and elegant.

"I will explain the rise and fall of your Majesty, and please take this as a lesson, and don't make the same mistake again!"

Du Wei is a very arrogant person.

He is a native of Yizhou, born in Fu County, Zitong, and studied Confucian classics with Ren An of Guanghan when he was young.

At the time of Liu Zhang, Du Wei served as an officer in Yizhou, but resigned soon after. Then he pretended to be deaf and lived in seclusion in the mountains.

But because he was a representative figure of the Ren'an faction and had great influence in Yizhou, even Liu Bei asked him to come out several times, but he was always rejected.

Finally, after he saw that Guanzhong was pacified and the Han Dynasty regained Chang'an, he was willing to join the court as an official and become an admonishment official.

The admonishment officer specializes in discussions and is an official subordinate to the doctor's order. He is in charge of discussions and is a noble official.

As for the so-called Ren An faction, it comes from Ren An.

When Ren An was young, he studied under Yang Hou, a famous scholar in Xindu. Work hard and excel in studies. In order to further his studies, he went to Luoyang, the capital, to study at Imperial College, where he studied the Confucian classics "Poetry", "Book", "Li" and "Yi" from doctors of the Five Classics.

After graduating from Taixue, Ren An returned to Mianzhu. He was invited by the prefect of Shu County to serve as a meritorious officer, and he was recruited by the governor of Yizhou to serve as a governor.

Soon, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, living in seclusion in Mianzhu to teach students.

Among the students he taught, many talents emerged. For example, Du Qiong from Chengdu in Shu County, Du Wei from Zitong, and He Zong from Pixian County were all outstanding among them. They all later became celebrities in the Shu Han Dynasty.

These celebrities also used him as a link to form their own group.

Seeing Du Wei's loud tone, Liu Chan smiled and said: "I use copper as a mirror to dress my clothes; I use history as a mirror to know the ups and downs; I use people as a mirror to know the gains and losses. I would like to listen to your advice. The doctor’s advice.”

Seeing Liu Chan's words, Du Wei's arrogance in his heart calmed down a lot, and he bowed to Liu Chan uprightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, the death of the Han Dynasty did not happen overnight, but happened gradually.

At the beginning, Guangwu Zhongxing was followed by Mingzhang, and the politics was still called Qingming. However, since the period of peace and security, the imperial power has gradually declined, eunuchs and relatives have taken over the power alternately, and the government has become increasingly unstable.

The two emperors Huan and Ling were dissolute and indulgent, favoring traitors and sycophants, and the people complained.

In addition, natural disasters occurred frequently and the people were in dire straits, leading to the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although it was peaceful for a while, the prestige of the imperial court was lost, and local separatism gradually became a trend.

During the reign of Emperor Xian, Dong Zhuo took over power, all princes rose up, and the world was in chaos.

Eventually, Cao Wei replaced the Han Dynasty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty died.

This is rough.

May Your Majesty learn from the mistakes of others, work diligently and love the people, and ensure the safety of the country. "

Liu Chan nodded and said, "What the admonishment doctor said is very true. I wonder what you can teach me?"

Since it is a sutra banquet, an issue should be raised, and then the officials will discuss it, and finally come to a result that everyone agrees with.

Of course, there are many times when there are no results, and this is normal.

After all, it is difficult to directly convince this academic opinion.

Du Wei was in awe, bowed his hands to Liu Chan and said: "Your Majesty, the disaster of the party's imprisonment in the late Han Dynasty and the suffering of Confucian scholars are still vivid in my mind.

At that time, many people in the Qing Dynasty were imprisoned for speaking out and disobeying the powerful. Between the government and the public, righteousness was not maintained, and evil and evil were successful.

This is a great misfortune for the country and a tragedy for Confucianism and Taoism.

When the new dynasty was first established, the court was filled with rugged warriors, but there was little room for great Confucians and wise men to establish themselves.

However, those who govern a country should not use force to win, but should use culture. Only by advocating literature can we transform the people and achieve great success.

Therefore, the imperial court should open up avenues for talents, promote Confucian scholars and make them officials to manage state affairs.

In this way, the politics will be clear, the people will be safe and peaceful, and the country will be prosperous. "

It’s not like you were pretending to be aloof before.

When I asked you to become an official, you didn't become an official. Instead, you were someone who didn't have much fame. Because you got on the train early and made a lot of achievements, you were promoted to a high position immediately. Now you feel unbalanced.

As a result, officials are now coming in the name of the Sutra Banquet.

Liu Chan pretended to be in deep thought and asked again: "Who can be called a great Confucian scholar? Who is a rough warrior?" To deal with these people, we cannot follow his words. We must find another way to stand in the debate. invincible position.

Du Wei calmly said: "Your Majesty, the so-called rugged warriors refer to those who are extremely brave, but neglect the rule of law and do not know etiquette. They may be able to fight on the battlefield and establish martial arts, but they are often at a loss when it comes to governing the country and bringing peace to the people. Ignorance. If this generation fills the court, politics will become violent and the people will find it difficult to live in peace."

At this point, Du Wei paused and continued: "The great Confucians and sages refer to those who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, well versed in the ways of governing the country, and have noble conduct. They are not only proficient in classics and history, but also can take Confucian benevolence and righteousness as their guide." Basically, we should promote virtuous government and transform the people into customs. If this person is reused, the politics will be clear and the country will have long-term peace and stability."

Liu Chan smiled softly and asked: "I wonder if the admonishment doctor knows how much food and grass the soldiers eat in a day? How much can the common people harvest in a year from cultivating an acre of land?"

After Liu Chan made a mistake, Du Wei suddenly felt at a loss.

Not
What we are talking about is the strategy of governing the country. Why does coming to your Majesty become a vulgar matter like eating and farming?
"We don't need to worry about how much food the soldiers eat or how much harvest an acre of land produces. We can just leave it to the county officials."

The smile on Liu Chan's face remained.

"How much grain can be produced in a state? How long can it last if we conquer Wu and Wei? Is this matter considered important?"

This is not what scripture says!

Du Wei shouted in his heart: Don't ask me about such vulgar things.

But he knew in his heart that if he really answered like that, the emperor would probably dislike him.

So he had no choice but to say without conscience: "Your Majesty, this matter is naturally important."

"Deng Ai and Deng Shizai have been working in the fields in Jingxiang for more than a year. Last year, they harvested 5 million dendrobium from the fields. They even wrote "On the River". Can he be called a wise man?"

Du Wei knew that Liu Chan wanted to set an example, but he still stepped forward now. He felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, but on the surface, he had to step forward to cooperate with Liu Chan.

"Those who work for the country can naturally be called wise men."

After saying this, Du Wei felt that the smile on his cheeks was a little stiff.

"very good!"

Liu Chan clapped his hands and said, "Although Qing Xuzi is an alchemist, he developed cement and gunpowder for the Han Dynasty. Can he be called a sage?"

Alchemist?

He's a bit of a wise man!

Du Wei felt that he needed to be tougher.

But Du Qiong, a native of Chengdu from Shu County, stabbed him at this time.

"Those who work for the country can naturally be called wise men."

I'm here to ask for an official position, and I can't make the emperor angry.

I will endure!

Can't I bear it?
"now it's right."

Liu Chan laughed and said: "In the court, everyone must be upright, but what is uprightness? It is not someone who is proficient in the scriptures, not someone whose tongue is full of lotus, but someone who can do things for the country!"

When Guan Xing heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

With him taking the lead, the others stood up one after another, shouting: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"I am admonishing you to do something for the country today, so I will promote you to the position of Minister of the Secretariat. I will see to it that you will be able to make a good living in the future."

Shangshutai Shangshu is the third-rank official, second only to Shangshuling and Shangshu Zuishushe. It can be regarded as an official position with real power.

Liu Chan looked around at the people in Shiqu Pavilion, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Don't you want an official?
I really will give it to you!
But the prerequisite is to be obedient.

Do something.

The public is in full swing?

I, Mr. Liu, want capable ministers, not mediocre ministers who can only talk nonsense!
