At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Peng clapped the table and said: "This time Gu Bei conquered Xianbei and made unprecedented feats. This martial arts is enough, but cultural governance is not enough. Gu not only needs martial arts, but also cultural governance. Not only does the country need stability, but also cultural prosperity. .

The context is related to the future of the country and must not be underestimated!And now the first step is to clarify exactly what the words of the sage said. The Five Classics are the Five Classics. There is no family law, only the law of the sage!it is necessary! "

Chapter 1137 Zero-sum game of one thousand 140

What Guo Peng said shocked Yuan Si severely.

The emperor wants to abolish the nine family laws, leaving only five?

After calming down for a while, Yuan Si swallowed.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and concerns the national context. Do you want to consider it in the long run?"

"A long-term plan? Is this not long enough? From Emperor Xiaozhang to the present, more than a hundred years have passed! How much longer?"

Guo Peng shook his head in dissatisfaction: "This is not going to work. There will be problems. I am determined. This matter must be resolved. If I don't solve it, I will be sorry for the sage's words I have learned. I am sorry. Teachings of the saints!"

When Guo Peng said this, Yuan Sicai suddenly remembered that His Majesty the Emperor was not a simple big son.

His majesty the emperor learned from Lu Zhi, the former Han Taiwei. He was a serious scholar who had received Lu Zhi's elite education for many years, and his understanding and mastery of the Five Classics was no weaker than him.

It's just that neither his family nor Lu Zhi's family has mastered the family classics.

It's just that the emperor's military exploits are too ruthless, and the world's impression of him is the God of War, an absolute soldier, while ignoring his status as a scholar.

When it comes to cultural standards, none of the court officials or even scholars and literati dare to say that they are better than the emperor.

At that time, the sentence "worry about the world's worries first and enjoy the world's joy later" almost didn't make people praise him to the sky.

These words are of a standard.

Therefore, this emperor is not only ridiculously strong in military affairs, but also has an elite level of culture. When talking about Confucian classics, he does not fear anyone.

Such a matter proposed by such an emperor cannot really be said to be a conspiracy of a layman. People themselves are also people in the sect. No matter how you say it, it is also an internal contradiction.

Is the emperor really going to attack the scholars all over the world for his meritorious military service?

Yuan Si vaguely remembered that the emperor first ruled Yan's ram.

It seems that only Yan's ram can be left in the Spring and Autumn Sutra?

Both Zuo and Gu Liang could not be officially recognized after the Baihuguan meeting. The same goes for Wei Guo.

And now Yan's ram will follow suit and become an extremely embarrassing theory in the field?

That Book of Changes...

Thinking of this, Yuan Si suddenly felt a little cold.

No, no, how could this be?

How come I have already begun to imagine how to ensure the best interests of the family and school after the emperor wins?

Will the emperor win?

Is the emperor going to keep only five of the fourteen schools of law?

This is to cut off the political interests of most people. This is a matter of stabbing a hornet's nest. Can everyone accept it?

Or is it that the emperor has already made up his mind to take advantage of everyone's internal conflicts to accomplish this matter?

Thinking of this, Yuan Si suddenly remembered, why did the emperor call himself here today?

Just asking and chatting... that's all?

"Yuan Qing, I called you here because I want to tell you that I plan to hold a meeting similar to the Baihuguan meeting in the future. At the meeting, I will support "Meng Shiyi" as the orthodoxy of the Book of Changes and preserve it in the world, and then depose it. The rest of Yi's study of the law can be regarded as a lonely comfort to the spirit of the road in the sky!"

Guo Peng looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said so in a pious tone.

Yuan Si was stunned on the spot.

Then he made a quick mental argument.

Going against the emperor is a very risky thing, and you might lose your head.

Yuan's involvement in this matter is very deep, it is impossible to avoid success, and once involved, it is very difficult not to oppose the emperor.

Now that the emperor is showing his support, it means that he is already in an invincible position.

That being the case, the benefits have not only not been damaged but have been greatly increased, why risk your life to fight against the emperor?

Those who opposed the emperor did not end well.

The history of these decades has fully warned the latecomers.

If the emperor hadn't ruthlessly smashed everyone's eating bowls, everyone would really not think about fighting against the emperor.

But there is no way, now the emperor wants to smash everyone's eating bowls, which is a big problem.

Had to fight, had to be hostile.

But it's still life-threatening.

Because the current emperor is different from Liu Xiu, unlike Liu Xiu, he won the support of the world only by the powerful.

The soldiers under him are too strong, the army is firmly in the hands of the emperor, and all supplies are provided by the emperor himself.

This means that whether it is the army or the generals, they are all controlled by the emperor himself, without the interference of any other people, unlike Yuntai 28 generals, where most of them come from proud and powerful families, and each has its own interests.

The Wei army is united by Guo Peng's side, and it is still a well-deserved monolith at the moment, and it cannot be shaken by scholars.

That is to say, the emperor has the ability to overturn the roof, he has the ability to lift the table and smash everything to make everyone die.

It's just that he hasn't used it yet, or he thinks that using such an ability does more harm than good, so he won't use it.

But when he felt that he needed to use this ability, everything was difficult to say.

Therefore, an all-round face-to-face confrontation is the last choice in desperation, and it is to fight Wei Jun to the death at the risk of being labeled a rebel.

Wouldn't it be a good thing not to take this risk now?

But soon Yuan Si thought of it, the emperor did not give this benefit for no reason, but needed Yuan Si to pay something in exchange.

pay what?

Without a doubt, give your all.

Wholeheartedly assist the emperor to complete the five classics unification plan, abolish the fourteen schools of law to only five schools, and become the real five classics sage law, unify thinking and unify academics.

Yuan Si swallowed his saliva.

For him, the attraction is too great.

The family law of a certain scripture is not only inherited by one family, but generally passed down by multiple families.

Since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu restored the Confucian classics inheritance and established fourteen doctors, there are fourteen families who have inherited "Shangshu", nine families who have inherited "Poetry", three families who have inherited "Li" and "Li" There are seven families in Yi, and eight families in Spring and Autumn.

After a long period of time, some old families have cut off their inheritance, and some new inheritance families have been born.

After the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, some families were extinct and cut off their inheritance, while others survived by luck and continued their own inheritance.

They passed on different family laws, and after the final integration of the Baihuguan Conference, they formed the highest academic monopoly system of the Five Classics and Fourteen Family Laws, which was the top of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although to this day, Mr. Guo himself does not know which families still maintain the inheritance and which families are finished.

But there is no doubt that Guo's family, the Yingchuan Guo family, cannot be compared with them at all.

They may not be well-known, and they may not have any key figures to emerge in this troubled world, but as long as their family education continues, they will always have the opportunity to become high-ranking officials.

This opportunity and this channel have always been available and will not be cut off.

As long as there are sons in the family, as long as there are people in the family, even if they break the law for a while, they will maintain this advantage after all.

For example, the Xun family in Yingchuan, their family passed down the Spring and Autumn family law. Although Xun Yu was punished for the crime of treason, as long as there are people in his family, his family's political status will still be there.

A temporary loss of power cannot determine their future, so there is no hope at all.

Besides, although Xun Yu died, Xun You still held a high position, but he was not trusted and appointed by the emperor.

But as long as he is still alive and there are people in the Xun family, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.

Compared with them, the existence of many other families is simply pitiful.

It all depends on one's ability. If one generation has a problem, several generations will suffer. The continuity of the family cannot be compared with these classic families.

But right now, the emperor wants to cut off most of these families, leaving only a small part as orthodox. A classic only allows one family's law, and what remains is not the family law, but the saint's law.

No matter what your family's law is, this is the real sage's law. There is only one way of saying what a sage says and what a sage expresses.

Everyone can see the benefits, and everyone can see the disadvantages.

In a zero-sum game, the winner takes all and the loser collapses.

chapter 1138

Yuan Si knew very well what would happen if this happened.

This is the same as the dismissal of hundreds of schools, the Shiqu Pavilion meeting, and the Baihuguan meeting back then. The winner gets everything, and the loser gets nothing.

At that time, a hundred schools of thought contended, and later the fourteen family laws, and now the emperor only allows five family laws to be converted into sage laws to survive in the world, and all others are dismissed.

At that time, no matter whether it was the abolition of Confucianism, or the Shiqu Pavilion meeting and the Baihuguan meeting, they were all battlefields where there was no gunpowder.

Everyone knows how many academic schools have disappeared without a trace.

The so-called academic conference is just a division of interests. Whoever is more suitable and more in line with the thoughts and opinions of the ruler will be kept in the world, and whoever is not suitable will be finished.

In this process, the emperor undoubtedly played a huge and even leading role.

Only a strong and unified emperor can use his prestige and power to reorganize the country's academic thinking when he needs it.

The emperor must be strong and have enough resources to allow academic sects to see their interests.

When academic sects see the benefits, they will naturally rush to ask the emperor to choose himself instead of others. The emperor is strong and powerful, and can play a huge role in political occasions, so he can decide who to choose and not to choose.

The emperor needs academic sects to construct the national thought according to their own ideas, so as to conform to the rule.

Academic sects need political interests to tell their disciples—abandon him, follow me, and have meat to eat.

It is essentially a mutual compromise between the two sides, but not every emperor can do this.

There were two major academic reorganizations in the Han Dynasty. Each time, several families were happy and some were destroyed. Each time, the surviving system will be more stable and sustainable. Unless there are major problems, the emperor will not take advantage of the loopholes. Chance.

But now, it's time for big problems.

The Han Dynasty that maintained this system perished, and a brand new Wei Empire was established.

The founding emperor of the Wei Empire was powerful and extremely prestigious. The Wei Empire had just been established in ruins, and everything was so new.

A new dynasty needs a new atmosphere, and the new emperor also wants to form the most suitable guiding ideology for his own rule, and it happens that this emperor is still very powerful, and he has just defeated a very powerful traditional enemy.

Very good, everything is so natural.

A new integration of ideas begins.

His Majesty the Emperor is unwilling to continue to tolerate the existence of the Five Classics and Fourteen Schools of Law. He feels that the current ideological system cannot satisfy his own ideas. His Majesty the Emperor needs to do something to rectify the rule of law while his martial arts reach the peak.

This kind of thing has actually given some omens. Some elders of the gentry who lived for a long time put forward such views when the emperor made the Northern Expedition to Xianbei.

They felt that there was no need for the emperor to personally lead troops into Mobei to fight against Xianbei, but he went anyway.

For what purpose?

Obviously, once he wins the huge historic victory of eradicating Xianbei, he will inevitably start his own Wenzhi plan when his martial arts have reached the peak.

Any emperor who cares more about his future reputation will be very concerned about his martial arts and martial arts. In terms of martial arts, the emperor is only challenging himself. In terms of martial arts, the emperor still has many seniors to learn from.

For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, or Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty.

Now it seems that our emperors of the Great Wei Empire do intend to learn from these emperors, to start with the cultural governance, to integrate the current ideological system that is not very obedient, and to become an obedient ideological system that is in line with their own interests.

The emperor does have this ability, and he can make this request for everyone to follow.

But it was just speculation before, and now it has become a real thing.

Guo Peng soon issued an imperial edict, summoning famous Confucian scholars all over the world to attend a meeting in the Huanglong Hall of the Luoyang Imperial Palace to discuss the future cultural and ideological development of the Wei Empire.
