Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 788

"It's miserable, it's too miserable, there are prisoners along the way"

"It is said that those princes committed suicide in fear of crime, and the rest of the tribe were arrested."

"Hiding armor at home, I don't know what I thought, what's not good to hide, if I have to hide this thing, isn't it courting death?"

Zhu Mong talked about his experience abroad. Since coming to Chang'an, Ju Mong has visited many local heroes. Of course, most of these heroes have washed their hands and stopped being rangers. Chang'an prohibits rangers from dispatching. They make friends, learn swordsmanship from them, connect with them, and get more and more information.

Liu Bo and Han Anguo looked at each other again after listening to his words.

Ju Mong took a sip of his drink and wiped his mouth, "It is also said that they died of illness, but I don't think so, how can there be any reason to ransack the house after illness and death? It probably committed suicide in fear of crime, and more than ten princes died. This is not a small movement. , Zangjia rebelled, and he deserved it!"

Liu Bo pursed his lips, "These people are the dignitaries who persuaded my father to forgive those officials, right?"

Ju Mong was startled, and hurriedly asked, "You mean they were framed?"

Han Anguo shook his head, "No, they deserve what they deserve."

Liu Bo let out a long sigh and didn't say anything else, "We should also get ready and go to Daiguo formally. When we go to Daiguo, I'm afraid we won't have any free time. You should rest in Chang'an for a few days. .”

Both Ju Mong and Han Anguo agreed. Before leaving, Liu Bo wanted to enter the palace to spend more time with his family, but Ju Mong probably still wanted to go to various places. As for Han Anguo, he really wanted to meet someone now.

"Bitch!!!"

When Jijiu finished today's lesson and just walked out of the classroom, several old Huang students around couldn't help shouting at Dong Zhongshu.

"Where are your followers? Why can't you see them today?"

"You are hiding in Taixue, but those who follow you are not so lucky!"

Since the establishment of Taixue, no one has ever been able to attract hostility on such a large scale. The effect of pulling monsters is almost unmatched. Dong Zhongshu has basically become a public enemy in Taixue. No matter what school it is, anyone who meets him He will always fight against the enemy, and he even accomplished a feat. Because of him, Huang Lao and Fajia joined forces to scold him.The relationship between the other schools in Taixue has greatly eased. In order to promote the stability and unity of Taixue as a whole, Dong Zhongshu has made indelible contributions.

At this moment, facing everyone's abuse, Dong Zhongshu's expression was as calm as ever.

Not at all afraid.

"Everyone, if you have an opinion on me, you can argue with me. It doesn't matter if you use your knowledge to argue with me. Why use such language to insult?"

Everyone's face changed drastically. Although this Dong Zhongshu is hateful, how to say this knowledge, even a round of battles can't beat him. Many people speculate that his current knowledge has approached those sacrificial wines, and may even surpass some of them. He even started to write a large number of articles to explain his own thoughts and talk about the future of Confucianism. The few priests of Confucianism dared not speak to him in a lecturing tone.

Although Shen Pei was extremely displeased with his proposition, he also evaluated him as a genius of heaven.

"I'm not talking about knowledge with you! I'm just talking about your character! You bewitched those people to learn from you, but when they offended His Majesty, you didn't say a word. You don't deserve to stay in Taixue!"

"I have never bewitched anyone to follow me to learn, and I have not reached the level of opening doors to accept disciples, and what they are walking is not my path. I have advised them more than once, thinking that their ideas are too radical. They have never heard that advocating the prescription is of great use to the country. The essence of my rule of Confucianism is benevolence. The king loves the people, and he will use his best to promote the prescription and use the ability of the prescription to benefit the people. This is the embodiment of benevolence. Very respectful."

"But the Mohism I respect is the practical school including Chen Gong. The Mohism in Taixue can be divided into two types. One is to study Geology, to study the laws of nature, to study the evolution of light, number, objects, and affairs. Such people advocate exploring the Tao, the essence is to discover the rules, use the rules for their own use, and use them to govern the people. know how to change."

"Fei Gong, Ming Gui, Jian Ai, Tian Zhi, Fei Le, Shang Tong really doesn't know how many of these past principles are still practical? The Legalists all know that the past principles cannot be used today, but the Mohists do not have no idea."

"What I criticize are those Mohists who are conservative and don't know how to adapt. They study the principles of the past all day long, which are useless to the present."

Dong Zhongshu immediately looked at the crowd, "Everyone is so excited, are you this kind of Mohist?"

The faces of several Mohist disciples turned red, but they couldn't answer anything.

Dong Zhongshu looked at the arrogant Huang Laosheng, shook his head and said: "If Huang Lao hadn't produced a new sage, I'm afraid he would be replaced by Confucianism. There is a new sage in Huang Laosheng, who integrates the past principles and uses them for himself. , but you people, instead of learning Xinsheng’s ideas, come here to argue with me and want to bully me, what is this?”

Dong Zhongshu muttered, picked up the things in front of him, got up and walked out.

These people didn't dare to stop him anymore. It's not that they didn't think about doing it. After all, the ultimate debate is to debate with a sword, but this guy got the protection of a certain big man. In the past, several Huang Laos blocked Dong Zhongshu. Dong Zhongshu was injured, and then a certain big shot ushered in the crazy revenge, leading the people to beat them into human shapes, and finally threw them in front of the Taixue, even Tingwei was killed. Shocked, but in the end nothing happened.

Those people in Taixue still can't afford to offend that big man.

When Dong Zhongshu had just walked out of Taixue, a young man with an unremarkable appearance stood in front of him and asked curiously, "Are you Dong Zhongshu?"

Dong Zhongshu sized up the person in front of him, but found no hostility on him.

"Exactly, what are your orders?"

Han Anguo chuckled and bowed to him, "After coming to Chang'an, I heard your name many times, and I finally have the chance to meet you today."

After revealing his identity, Dong Zhongshu hurriedly replied, "So it's Liang Cai, and I've heard about your reputation many times."

The two walked on the road, talking while walking.

"Among the young scholars in Chang'an, you are the most famous. I saw your articles in Chang'an's newspapers every day, and there are many comments on you. I read your articles carefully, but I am not quite sure. understandable place."

"Oh?"

"Why are you so persistent in wanting to merge the knowledge of hundreds of schools? Why don't you let them develop on their own?"

Dong Zhongshu said calmly: "The great unification of the great Han also needs to complete the unification of ideology, which is impossible for you to think of."

"Ideological unification, does it have to eliminate all other schools of thought?"

"It's not to eliminate, nor is it to be absorbed by Huang Lao, but to control. There must be a mainstream thought to lead many schools of thought. Why can't it be our Confucianism?"

"The inclusiveness and enlightenment of Confucianism are the most powerful among many schools. Today's Majesty has opened up a great era. He wants to integrate the whole world and make the world a whole. Except for Confucianism, no school can do it for him. Do this. My current academic proposition comes from His Majesty's needs, and my thoughts revolve around Your Majesty. You probably read the article I wrote yesterday, restricting powerful families, this is not Confucianism Its own proposition, but combined with benevolence, it can be easily derived that benevolence is the most practical of all the principles, and the most "

Dong Zhong slowly talked about his own thoughts. According to his theory, it was not that his ideas needed the support of the emperor, but that the emperor needed his theories to integrate the world.

"Among many schools of thought, except for the prince, no one has discovered that the times are different from the past. The Great Han is not Qin, not the Spring and Autumn Period, not Yao, Shun and Yu. This is an unprecedented era, and it is a time of unity. Looking at it from the past, I have never regarded the world as a main body."

Han Anguo looked at this young man who was many years younger than himself in surprise.

Just like meeting Fuchubo, this is the second time he has been impressed by knowledge. There is no arrogance on this young man's face, and he can't even see the kind of ambition that belongs to a scholar. He is just full of passion. , Dong Zhongshu talked about one idea after another, all of which revolved around the current emperor and combined with today's reality.And when Han Anguo asked him about the prince, Dong Zhongshu made his own evaluation, "The prince is not for Huang Lao, but for himself."

"He just needs a school that can be changed by himself at will. Huang Laohui reached its peak in his time, and no one can beat it, but its future development may not be comparable to Confucianism."

The two chatted for a long time, and unknowingly walked to Dong Zhongshu's current residence, but Han Anguo still had more to say.

"In the future, I will be in Xia, and you will be in Dai. I will promote my knowledge in Xia, and prove to His Majesty that Confucianism can definitely integrate those local tribes. At that time, we will definitely communicate frequently, so you don't have to worry."

Dong Zhongshu is very confident about his future. During these days, he has not only studied the knowledge of a hundred schools of thought, but also deliberately learned the language and customs of many Hu people in the north, just to prepare for the future practice of Confucianism.

The two stood at the door and chatted for a long time. Han Anguo asked, "One more thing. I heard that Zhao Wan and others had a wrong perception because of your thoughts. What kind of punishment will they suffer?"

Dong Zhongshu said calmly: "Mr. Fuqiu is a kind person, and he will definitely arrange this matter reasonably. You don't have to worry about it. Maybe you can meet this person again in the Daixia in the future."

And at this moment, the Zhao Wan they were talking about was kneeling in front of Uncle Fuqiu.

Zhao Wan is no longer what she used to be at the moment, she looks so decadent, her eyes are dull, her luster is lost, and she becomes taciturn. I'm stuck in my own world, unable to figure out what's going on.He didn't know why he didn't get the support of the other great Confucians, and even everyone came to reprimand him, even though he was desperate for the future of Confucianism.

Fuqiu Bo put down the book in his hand, tremblingly looked at the disciples and grandchildren in front of him.

"Wan, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

"Master, I have a lot of doubts in my heart, but now the teacher is unwilling to see me again and rejects me. I came to you to solve the confusion in my heart."

"Oh, your teacher is a strong man. He persuaded you in the past, but you didn't listen to him, but now he is looking for him again. He must not want to help you anymore. You can't blame your teacher for this matter, you can only blame you Own."

"Master, what did I do wrong?"

"Hundred schools of thought contend and criticize each other. Is this something that happened in the past?"

"You have done too many mistakes, and it is normal for a hundred schools of thought to swear at each other. At the beginning, my teacher insulted other schools, even more ruthlessly than you. I scolded together. But the problem is that my teacher will not deliberately belittle the other party's strengths, but only expose the other party's shortcomings. In this kind of confrontation, both sides can find their own shortcomings and make changes. This is beneficial to the progress of both parties, but your behavior is to deliberately belittle the advantages of the other party, to make unreasonable words, and to simply smear. How can this be a debate? If my teacher is today, he will hit you on the head with a cane! "

Fu Qiubo said, and said with emotion: "Besides, Shang Fang has made such great contributions over the years, which is of great benefit to the country and the people. You cover your eyes and turn a blind eye to these things, but you want to reprimand them for wasting the country's money." Financial resources, if your idea really spreads, how much harm will it cause, destroying the interests of the world for your own benefit, your crime is enough to be punished."

Zhao Wan lowered her head, her expression extremely serious, and she was speechless for a long time. He was about to get up, but Fu Qiubo said again, "Sit down, are you going to seek death?"

"Everyone makes mistakes, even my teacher, even Confucius, makes mistakes. The world is not perfect, and even His Majesty makes mistakes. But the important thing is to correct it. Although you made a big mistake, there is no harm. Life, there is still a chance to make up for it."

"How about this, take this letter and go to Shangfang to find Chen Tao."

"Since you have prejudice against Shang Fang, you should go and see for yourself to see if Shang Fang is of any use. With this letter, Chen Tao will not drive you out."

Zhao Wan looked at the letter in her hand, "Does Master want me to make amends to them?"

"It's not an apology, let's learn more about Shangfang. The people in Shangfang can do things, but they are not good at talking. I read your past articles, and I don't have much ability. You are very sharp-tongued. There is a shortage of people like you over there. Go to see more, learn more, ask more so that people in the world know what Shang Fang is like, don’t think that as a Confucian scholar, you have to attack other schools with all your strength, and there is no reason to say good things about them.”

"Well, whether it is right or wrong, you still have to find out by yourself, and go!"

Fu Qiubo waved his hand, Zhao Wan stood up, holding the letter, bowed to Fu Qiubo again, and then left here.

Fu Qiubo sat for a long time, and then he called a disciple to support him and went to the palace.

When Uncle Fuqiu came to the Hall of Houde, the emperor was in a good mood. He was talking and laughing with Lu Lu. Seeing Uncle Fuqiu coming, Liu Chang happily stepped forward to support him and let him sit By my side.

"Mr. Fuqiu, you don't know. These marquises in the country are really not as good as the next generation. I really don't understand. I just beat them up. They couldn't reach the point of being executed. , It’s just exile. If you want to go to find my mother, I told them not to seek death. They actually thought that I was threatening them, and they were going to kill me first, and then play. This is good. The armor at Wang Tianqi’s house was pulled out. I can't even intervene in the crime of treason."

"Why bother? Who is my mother? Why can't they figure it out? Then Pingzhou Hou, his father is also an old man who has followed the Lu family for a long time. This is good, no title or clan. gone."

Fu Qiubo shook his head lightly, "If your majesty conducts a detailed investigation, you will find that all the princes and princes who committed crimes are not the ones who founded the country at the beginning, but their heirs, just because they lived in the midst of wealth since childhood." In their hearts, they don't regard the people at the bottom as people like themselves. They will subconsciously think that His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and even the officials all think this way. In their cognition, 1 people are also It's not worth their lives alone."

"That's why when His Majesty wants to punish the victims for their crimes, they will be very puzzled, so they will go to the Empress Dowager to help them later."

"They don't know, whether it is the queen mother, the officials, or your majesty, they all know the sufferings of the people, and they don't treat the people like dung like them. Therefore, your majesty can't see through their thoughts, and of course they can't see through your thoughts."

Liu Chang said to Lu Lu who was on the side: "Look, it's still Duke Fuqiu. I can understand everything he said. It's not like those blunt tongues in Chaozhong. After talking for a long time, I can't understand what he is talking about." What."

Fu Qiubo talked about the reason why he came here, "I have punished those criminals according to His Majesty's order, and I sent them to Shangfang to help."

Liu Chang didn't understand, "What kind of punishment is this?"

"Your Majesty, this is to let them make up for their mistakes. Within half a year, His Majesty will understand their role. If His Majesty feels dissatisfied at that time, and then orders them to be punished, it will only take another half a year. Why not?"

Liu Chang nodded, agreeing to him, then remembered something, grabbed Fu Qiubo's hand, "By the way, I have one more thing, I need your help!!"

"Please order, Your Majesty."

"The King of Peacocks wrote me a memorial and complained to me. I hope I can send some young Confucian scholars to Peacocks to debate with local scholars and spread Confucian ideas. Please help me find a group of young, strong and able Confucian scholars!"

Fu Qiubo asked suspiciously: "Is the Peacock King planning to set up a school in the country?"

"This guy has already lost his reputation in Peacock. The nobles over there don't listen to him at all. He was attacked a few times out. Well, it's not very fatal, but it's disgusting. I won't tell you the details, anyway. He wants to promote Confucianism in Peacock to replace the original thought."

"What was the original thought over there?"

"It's better that you don't know that."
