[Comprehensive] Famous all over the world
Chapter 59 Spring and Autumn 10
"As the Master said, Zi Shao also believes that courtesy, virtue, benevolence and justice should be extended to the common people."
What this era pursues is "propriety is not inferior to the common people". Among all the vassal states, only the nobles can learn etiquette, virtue and benevolence.Therefore, etiquette is more like a status symbol, deeply engraved in the bones of every nobleman, and he would rather die than violate it.From this, it can also be understood why the State of Lu wanted to launch a war with the State of Song just because Yang Xue violated the "ethics".
And what Confucius advocated was to promote the etiquette, morality, benevolence and righteousness to the common people, so that the common people would also know the etiquette and observe the etiquette and regulate their own words and deeds.When this proposition was first publicized, it was actually opposed by the vast majority of nobles. They believed that ethics and morality were the unique education of nobles, and common people were not worthy of learning.If the common people know the same courtesy as the nobles, then where should the superiority of the nobles be reflected?
But according to Yang Xue's point of view, Yang Xue has to admire Kong Qiu's intelligence and vision——
Confucius said, "The common people are courteous", but what is the "ritual" now?According to Kong Qiu's Confucian concept of etiquette, it is "junjun, ministers, father and son, son and son". It means "to each his own place", that is, everyone needs to see clearly their own status and status, and is only allowed to do things within the limits of their status, otherwise it is "overstepping".Anyone who "overrides" will be punished by everyone, which is the origin of "ethics cannibalism".
Wouldn't it be like "brainwashing" education for later generations to teach such etiquette to the common people?He told everyone in the world to learn this kind of etiquette and morality at an early age, and to agree with this kind of high and low from the bottom of their hearts. Isn't the so-called difference between the noble and the common people manifested immediately?
This is where Confucius was clever.In the past, Kong Qiu was only a declining nobleman who was exiled from the Song Dynasty to Lu. If counted by his status, he was only a commoner with all his strength.In the era when the sons of the gentry monopolized official positions, as a commoner, he actually had no chance to ascend to the position of doctor today.But if Confucianism can be promoted, he, Kong Qiu, is still a nobleman, and he should enjoy all kinds of powers of the nobleman.
Therefore, with the establishment of his private school and the continuous increase of his noble disciples, the etiquette he preached has actually spread all over the world as he wished.What he is thinking now is to spread "benevolence, righteousness and morality" throughout the world. If everyone abides by the bottom line of morality and governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, wouldn't the world be peaceful?
Regarding etiquette, although Yang Xue had objections, she couldn't refute it, and even had to agree with it.Obviously, although this feudal ethics is full of Confucius' selfish desires, its formation has become an inevitable trend today.In any case, it is the princes of these parties who are in charge of the world now.Not to mention that the regimes of the princes of these parties are not in turmoil, she can't fight against the world.Just saying that the people in this world are still ignorant, she can already predict that her efforts will be in vain.
What's more, the arrival of this feudal ethics means the arrival of feudal society.Although she didn't want to admit it, Yang Xue had to admit that compared with today's slave society, this feudal society is actually more of an improvement.At least, unlike today, all civilians are "slaves" of slave owners. Only in feudal society can independent "people" be produced.
Courtesy, benevolence and righteousness and common people...
Even though such a decision is full of mistakes and unfair in Yang Xue's eyes, in the final analysis, it seems that this is only the choice of history.Even if it is her, it seems that she can only make some changes in the process of its implementation...
It seemed that it was only an instant, but Yang Xue's mind had already turned and turned a thousand times, and made a choice.She looked at Kong Qiu and saw the slight satisfaction on his face, even though she felt a little bit of a sigh in her heart, her face was always as clear as a flower, with a pleasant smile.
"Zi Shao also agrees with Master Zi's method of combining "rule of virtue" and "rule of law". Just a 'rule of virtue'."
"Why is this? Why don't you tell me, my lord?" Kong Qiu was not ashamed of it, but asked Yang Xue without haste.
"Rules, morality, benevolence, and righteousness, from the present to the common people, should also be the same as what the Master said, and become a measuring stick for the self-restraint of the people. But what if there are people who do not obey this measuring stick? Isn't there nothing else? Can it be restricted?
Zishao privately thought that punishment would be needed at that time, and such punishment must be severe.We must let this punishment become an iron chain of the country and society, firmly lock the border area of crime, so that the wicked will no longer have the courage to do evil, and the good will continue to do good, this is the only way!Therefore, the primary and secondary status of 'rule of law' and 'rule of virtue' must not be confused! "
Kong Qiu's attitude towards Yang Xue's questions was very good, and Yang Xue never put on airs, and sincerely expressed her thoughts and feelings one by one.
And "heavy punishment" is one of the viewpoints that she needs to focus on.It's not about making Song a country with harsh punishments, nor is it about putting on a "severe" cloak. She just thinks that the punishment that is too light is like scratching an itch, which is not enough to restrain It's just for prevention.
Just like country Z in the 21st century—her motherland, she always thought that the legal system was not perfect.How could killing someone be a capital crime, but rape and rape only resulted in a prison sentence of several years or even ten years?Isn't it the same as gouge out the flesh of a couple's heart to ruthlessly inflict tyranny on someone's self-esteem, soul and body?How can the abusers easily recover from the various injuries caused by a few years in prison?
Yang Xue inadvertently recalled all kinds of past that belonged to her, and quickly lowered her eyes, just barely covering the flash of disgust in her eyes.
Confucius didn't notice any difference in Yang Xue's expression, he just frowned, and didn't comment on Yang Xue's words, he just asked again: "Forcing people, how can they be willing?"
Obviously, he admitted that what Yang Xue said was reasonable, but in the end he still chose his own inherent proposition.
Knowing that this is just a discussion, there is no need to argue about who is right and who is wrong.He didn't think about holding on to this topic any longer, insisting on someone to answer, but lowered his head, bowed his hands to Yang Xue and said, "Young master is a great talent."
Seeing this, Yang Xue knew that the discussion had come to an end, so she also bowed to Confucius and said humbly, "Master, thank you."
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in standing up according to his status as a royal family, and left the cushion under his knees.
Standing at the same spot, before Kong Qiu got up, Yang Xue was still in the hall, but it was no longer the almost helpless situation at the beginning.Even though the gazes of the people present are still only watching and inquiring, but anyway, there is still no malicious condemnation and banter in it.
Turning around, facing Song Jun, Yang Xue knelt down and saluted, with a calm charm on her body, only the look between her eyebrows and eyes could vaguely make people find a bit of confidence and arrogance.
"Father Jun, Ah Shao has finished his discussion with Master."
After Yang Xue finished speaking, Kong Qiu got up as well, and knelt down to Song Jun again to show his respect.
Song Jun Rumo's pupils kept scanning back and forth between Yang Xue and Kong Qiu like a searchlight, and finally landed on Yang Xue.He did know that his daughter had a valley in his heart, but he never expected that such a "valley" would be enough to establish a school of theory, and even be enough to discuss with Confucius without losing the wind.
All of a sudden, Song Jun's heart was full of emotions.Just now, he also listened carefully to the discussion between Yang Xue and Kong Qiu, even he himself was a little surprised that in terms of governing the country, he was actually more inclined to Yang Xue.Even inspired by Yang Xue, many thoughts came to his mind, eager to discuss with Yang Xue.
Song Jun tried his best to suppress his surging heart, and after a while he said calmly: "If so, Ah Shao and Master will go back to their seats."
He spoke lightly, as if everything was normal.If not everyone here clearly remembered the sound scene in the main hall just now, they would have thought that they were still in a dream.
"Yes."
Yang Xue and Kong Qiu each responded, stood up, and quietly smiled coquettishly at Mrs. Jun, who was always worried about her, and Fang Yingying returned to her seat.
With a graceful figure, Yang Xue took a seat behind the original desk, and suddenly remembered that Yi Ziyun's temperament must have been worried for a long time, so she turned her head and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she only saw her His eyes were blank, staring blankly at the place where he had been in the center of the hall, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
I have seen her shy and bowed head, she has seen her petite and pleasant appearance, because of deliberate contact and indulgence, Yang Xue has actually seen Zi Yun in many ways, but generally speaking, she always has her All the women I've seen are the same.Whether it is Song Jun's concubine Teng, or the maids in the palace, or because she is just a concubine, Zi Yun is always as courteous as them.Yang Xue had never seen such an "extraordinary" expression.
Eyes widened a little, Yang Xue clearly knew that she couldn't recover because of herself, but she still couldn't help joking, pretending to be curious, she kept looking at Zi Yun and said: "Yun'er, what is this?" What's the matter? What is it that Yun'er can't even come back?"
Because there are still vague sights from all around her, Yang Xue's voice and movements are also extremely subtle and light, unexpectedly, Zi Yun, who is absorbed in ecstasy, has never heard of it.
For a while, the maid behind Ziyun was a little anxious and wanted to pull Ziyun's wide sleeves as a reminder, but she was afraid that she would be so presumptuous and anger Yang Xue, so she could only kneel and sit behind her secretly anxious.
Not to mention that the servant girl didn't overstep, even if she really offended a little, Yang Xue would not easily drop the blame on her.Therefore, she didn't pay attention to her, Yang Xue smiled a little more at the corners of her eyes and brows, and raised her voice slightly to Zi Yun: "Yun'er, what are you thinking?"
"what"
Ziyun's vermilion lips parted slightly, her almond eyes widened, apparently frightened.When she finally realized that it was Yang Xue who was calling her, she hurriedly turned around again, frowned and bowed, angrily said: "Yun'er was rude, please don't blame Sister Wang."
"It's okay, I just want to ask what Yun'er is thinking, there is no need for Yun'er to panic."
Even though Yang Xue has gradually changed the original owner's arrogant and domineering image over the past few days, in fact, what she has changed is only herself.A concubine is a concubine, a concubine is a concubine, a concubine can be ignored, but a concubine cannot be without respect. "Etiquette cannot be broken", this is the deep-rooted thought of people in this era, and it is also one of the reasons why she cannot refute the general "ritual education".
With a kind of habitual indifference, the interest in Yang Xue's heart has been washed away, leaving only a little helpless gloom.
"Thank you, sister."
Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief, and finally straightened up again.She didn't know why her sister Wang had suddenly become more and more kind recently, but she never thought about what to investigate.
With her status, there is actually no need to have her own ideas.As long as she knows how to be "obedient" and "obedient", if Father Jun, Mrs. Jun and Sister Wang can treat her kindly, it will be a great gift to her. How can she be arrogated by herself?
It's just... just now, she suddenly felt something different in her heart, and she couldn't tell what kind of thought it was, she just felt that her mind was shaking for a while, but she didn't know why. too understand.
According to the rules of etiquette, she couldn't look directly into Yang Xue's eyes, so even though her heart was full of confusion, she always just lowered her eyebrows and eyes.
"Yun'er thinks... Sister Wang is very different..."
She thought for a while, and in the end she could only utter this sentence, but she still didn't ask the confusion in her heart.
In fact, it's not that Yang Xue doesn't know that it's not easy for Ziyun to say such a sentence to her, she just doesn't know what kind of attitude and tone she should use to continue with such a sentence.
Silent for a long time, she could only smile at Ziyun, but in the next second, she could only take that smile back stiffly——Ziyun, who has always lowered her head, couldn't see the smile on her lips meaning...
Who said that a noble status is not a different kind of loneliness?Suddenly, Yang Xue felt a little lonely in her heart.
After drinking for three rounds, no matter how happy the banquet was, it was finally over.
Even though there was an extra scene in the middle of Yang Xue's refutation of Confucian etiquette, Bo Ji's funeral was still a big event, and it was still recorded in history as a "model of virtuousness".
After the funeral, the envoys from various countries stopped staying as usual, and rushed back to their respective countries one after another, rushing to report the matter of "Gong Zi Shao" and "Li Family", for fear of the news that their lord would get later than other countries.
Therefore, only three days after the funeral, there was only one envoy of the defending country left among the envoys of the various countries.And he is to welcome Ziyun back instead of Wei Jun.
Ziyun's dowry was already prepared in the palace, and when the auspicious day came, Ziyun set off with the envoys of Weiguo to Weiguo.
The day before Ziyun's departure, Yang Xue met Ziyun again in the back garden. At that time, Ziyun, because she was going to marry Wei Jun, had taken care of her for several days, and her face looked younger than before. A few days more delicate.
Still in that long pavilion, still in that view, Yang Xue asked Zi Yun again: "Is Yun'er willing to marry Wei Jun?"
Let's count it as her conscience, she still couldn't help asking, the question she asked herself when she first met Ziyun.This fate she didn't want was forced to fall on Ziyun. Even though Ziyun didn't care about it, she knew that this time, it was her fault.
Zi Yun's already delicate face was a little shy at this moment, making it even more delicate.She bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, and then let go, smiling like a flower on her face: "Sister Wang wants to come, she is joking with Yuner again."
For a long time, Yang Xue didn't speak. She actually wanted to say something, but in the end, she refused to be the "fool" in people's eyes.
Isn't it stupid to ask questions that you have no choice over and over again?
Day two.
Today Ziyun is leaving Song State for Wei State, because it is a concubine who is getting married, so Wei Jun has never come to marry in person, and Song Jun and Mrs. Tong Jun will not personally marry.
Before leaving, apart from dozens of dowry and accompanying maidservants, there was no one left by her side.
At the gate of the city, maybe there is something to look forward to, or there is still something to look forward to, Ziyun stood by the side of the car for a long time, looking and looking at the city, I don't know if he is waiting for someone, or just reluctant to part with the capital of Song Dynasty .
Finally, when the sound of the wheels running over the fine stones and the neighing of the horses came, for the first time, Ziyun's always cautious face showed a look of excitement.
The black car was also parked on the side of the city gate, and with the support of the maid, Yang Xue's figure finally appeared in front of Zi Yun.
Yang Xue gradually approached Ziyun, and for the first time, she actually saw Ziyun's "out of line" expression when Ziyun was conscious.Or, because this might be the last side?Yang Xue didn't know either.
Standing in front of Ziyun, Yang Xue immediately reached out to support Ziyun's arms when she saw that Ziyun was about to kneel down again.
"Today is Yun'er getting married, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. Even if the sand on the ground dirty this wedding dress, it is not beautiful."
Contrary to Yang Xue's expectation, this time Zi Yun really listened to her words, and never insisted on kneeling down.But even though she never saluted, she still arched her hands and bowed deeply to Yang Xue.
After letting her finish the salute, Yang Xue retreated the people on both sides, and asked the envoy of Weiguo for some time to say goodbye.
"Yun'er knew that Sister Wang would come."
Before Yang Xue could speak, Zi Yun took the words first.Even though her eyes still didn't look at her own, Yang Xue could tell that she was happy just from her tone.
Everyone retreated, only Yang Xue and Zi Yun were left at the gate of the big city.Beside the two, for the first time, there was not even a maidservant.But maybe because of this environment, Ziyun seems to have released herself a little bit.
"On that day, Sister Wang asked Yun'er what she was thinking, but Yun'er never said anything. At that time, Yun'er thought that if Sister Wang was willing to send Yun'er today, Yun'er would definitely tell her what she thought about that day. Sister Wang's."
Yang Xue had never heard Ziyun take the initiative to say so many words to herself, and she was not surprised, but at this moment, she didn't want to interrupt her.Raising her eyebrows, she was just waiting for Ziyun's next words.
Zi Yun didn't let Yang Xue wait for too long, so she smiled softly: "Yun'er has never left Song Palace in the past ten years, and has never seen more outsiders, but who is Confucius, and Yun'er I have heard about it. Since Sister Wang has the approval of Confucius, what Sister Wang said that day must be correct..."
As he was talking, Zi Yun's expression suddenly became as confused as it was that day, "It's just... that women can't speak...? Yun'er is so stupid, after thinking about it, she still doesn't understand..."
Yang Xue looked at Ziyun with a slightly startled expression, she never thought that Ziyun had been thinking about such a sentence.And this kind of Ziyun was really beyond her expectation.
Don't mind mentioning a few words, Yang Xue stretched out her hand with a smile, put her hand on the top of Ziyun's head in amazement, rubbed her head lightly, and said: "Look, Yun'er, the former Yun Of course, Yun'er would not think so much, but now Yun'er has learned to think. Therefore, it has never been that Yun'er can't think, but Yun'er has never thought about thinking. Naturally, it has never been a woman Not as good as men, but women never thought that they could be better than men."
These words may be regarded as shocking words in the eyes of outsiders, but Ziyun at the moment is ignorant, and she can't think that Yang Xue's words are "very out of line" .
Instead, she nodded in a daze, and replied: "Yun'er doesn't expect to understand now, Yun'er only hopes to understand it in the future."
After finishing speaking, leaving this topic aside, Zi Yun smiled at Yang Xue again softly: "Yun'er doesn't know why Sister Wang cares so much about Yun'er marrying Wei Jun, and Yun'er has never thought about it in her heart." Regardless of any reluctance, anyway, even if it is not Weijun, it will be anyone else. Daughters of the royal family have always only married the royal family."
There is another sentence that Ziyun never said, but Yang Xue herself knows it very well——
The daughter of a concubine has always been married high as a concubine, and has never been married low as a wife...
This is the fate of women in this era. If it wasn't for the arrival of Yang Xue, even Zi Shao, who was favored by Mrs. Jun, would not be able to escape from such a fate...
Pursing her lips, Yang Xue was amused that Zi Yun would come to comfort herself at such a young age, but she just felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Sighing deeply from the bottom of my heart, Yang Xue wanted to sigh something more to Ziyun, but from a distance, she caught a glimpse of the envoy of the State of Wei and many attendants, getting closer and closer to this side.
As Yang Xue turned his head, Zi Yun also saw the figure of the Wei Guo envoy and his attendants.
Looking back, she looked at Yang Xue smiling, and said again: "If we go this time, we may never see each other again, Yun'er only hopes that sister Wang's wishes will come true one by one."
"Sister Wang also hopes that Yun'er will cherish it."
Not knowing what was going on in her heart, Yang Xue only said this.But just after getting such a sentence, Zi Yun seemed to be satisfied, and boarded the car in front of Yang Xue's eyes.
The dust flew up, and their car was getting farther and farther away due to the rush, only Yang Xue was still staring at the dust, refusing to leave——
From one palace to another, this is Ziyun's life as a girl turned woman.What about her?If there is no system, if this era is her home in this life, if she has no more resourcefulness to use, no more strategies to speak of, will this also be her whole life?How sad.
The author has something to say: Keke, the babies want thicker length and more...
After finishing this chapter, I'm probably a president with kidney deficiency [Life without love face]
Love to compliment me! ! !I love you guys, what are you doing (づ ̄3 ̄)づ~~~
After the envoys of the various countries returned to their respective countries, they reported to their respective monarchs one by one what they saw and heard in the Song Dynasty. During the period, they recorded Yang Xue's remarks and opinions in detail, with a lot of half a word.
But unexpectedly, no matter whether they didn't care about it or watched it from the other side, the kings of various countries only chose to hide the matter and did not publicize it.So much so that except for the country of Song, there were no rumors about Yang Xue among the people of other countries.
Judging from the unchanged Dongzhu on her wrist, Yang Xue can probably guess something.She was not discouraged in her heart, she actually knew that among all this, the value she showed was not enough.
Responding to Song Jun's call, Yang Xue arrived in the government hall early, but when she arrived, she found that Song Jun was already waiting in the main hall, and under the desk, looking at his clothes, there were many officials and nobles kneeling.
Yang Xue took a quick look, and only recognized some of the royal family members according to the memory of the original owner, so she turned her gaze away and stopped looking at it any more.
After saluting to Mr. Song, she sat down with Mr. Song's consent. After Yang Xue saw the posture around her, she was surprised, but she could actually guess some of Mr. Song's intentions.But obviously, apart from the same astonishment, the ministers were more disliked and disgusted by Yang Xue's appearance.
"What do you mean by this, Your Majesty? Your Majesty summoned his ministers to discuss political affairs. Is what they are discussing about children's play?"
This middle-aged man, who is dressed luxuriously, speaks full of disdain and humor, and is not even respectful to Song Jun, is the son of the son who once made a letter of remonstrance and rebuked her for not observing etiquette——Song Jun's younger brother.
This son is obviously dissatisfied with Yang Xue for a long time, but whether it is the original owner Zi Shao or herself, Yang Xue has never liked this power-loving, defiant "uncle", or according to him, Song Jun has no children , after the death of Song Jun, he can inherit the position of the next Song Jun.
"Father..."
"Zi Shao!"
She was quite afraid of the real power in the hands of the young master, Yang Xue didn't want to have a dispute with him, she didn't even look at him, she just wanted to speak to Song Jun to avoid his sharp edge.But Young Master Diben likes aggressive people, how could he be silent just because of Yang Xue's concession?
He suddenly raised his voice, and Gongzidi's voice became harsh, "Because of you, Song Guo almost had a rift with Lu Guo, which ruined the decades-old alliance with Lu and the decades-long relationship with Song. Peace. Now, Lord Lu doesn't pursue it, it's a good thing, is it true that Zhuzi will come to disrupt the government, and he will not stop until the Song Dynasty is destroyed?"
Nonsense!
What the young master said was extremely unreasonable but extremely serious. With just a few words, he wanted to accuse Yang Xue of "disaster for the country".
"Uncle's words are too strong and unreasonable!" Although she knew that she couldn't bear the reputation of being disrespectful to her elders, Yang Xue knew better that she couldn't back down——
This charge must never be taken up!For example, Meixi, such as Daji, not to mention being famous all over the world, if she is charged with this crime, even if she is hacked into pieces, it will not be enough to "apology".
"At the state banquet that day, the envoys of all countries heard what Zishao said and thought clearly. Or, this is actually my uncle selectively pretending to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know what Confucius thinks about Ah Shao’s words of approval?”
The young master's round eyes were as big as copper bells. Yang Xue saw that there were ministers who were always close to him around him, and wanted to speak out together with him, so she never gave them such a chance. Without pausing, she opened her mouth and said, "My son Shao’s management of the family, Zishao’s strategy for governing the country, even though few people know about it now, it can still make Confucius unable to argue. Uncle said that Zishao’s disaster for the country, I don’t know why uncle said that?”
"Okay, it's all royal family, so why are uncles and nephews arguing so much?"
Song Jun seemed to be used to the son's defiant attitude, and also used to tolerate the younger brother of the mother's compatriot. He neither blamed Yang Xue nor punished the son, but seemed impatient, and said neither serious nor serious. With that one sentence, this farce was stopped.
For a moment, Young Master Di was blocked and his face was flushed, but he couldn't say anything, his face was green and red for a while, which was very beautiful.
Yang Xue, on the other hand, was much calmer. She understood the meaning of the words "just accept it when you see it". Now that she heard Song Jun speak, although she knew that Song Jun was not angry, she also knew that Song Jun must be dissatisfied. up.
Therefore, without further entanglement with the young master, she turned to Song Jun again, as if nothing had happened, and only asked bluntly: "Listen to what uncle said, this time the king summoned Ah Shao for political affairs. ?”
Song Jun nodded, and asked: "I remember Ah Shao once said that if the Song Dynasty wants to be strong, it must reform its bad governance. Today, I summoned all the ministers to come to consider this matter."
Hearing Jun Song's words, all the ministers, including the young master, couldn't help being puzzled. They had never received any news about Yang Xue making such an agreement with Jun Song.
"Reform bad governance?"
Another compatriot of Song Juntong and Gongzidi, Gongzi Qinqin, who seemed to represent the ministers, asked this question.
But Song Jun, as the king of a country, naturally had no reason to explain to his subordinates, so he just nodded unnecessarily, and cast his eyes on Yang Xue with implied expectations.
Yang Xue felt the curious, interested or questioning gazes from the ministers, but she didn't rush to boast because she wanted to express herself——
This is a country, and this is a real and living people. How dare she abuse the regulations that are not in line with today's reality just for her own mission?How dare you make Song people's life difficult for your own selfish interests?
She settled down and carefully thought about the legal policies of the feudal society that she knew one by one. Only after she confirmed that they were beneficial to the country, the people, and promoted social development did she feel that she was With the confidence to say something——
"Reform bad government, these four words are extremely broad, what is 'bad government'? Anything that is not conducive to the development of Song State is 'bad government'? Then what is beneficial to the development of Song State? Ah Shao thinks that it is the hearts of the people. If you want the Song Dynasty to be strong, the laws and regulations must be changed to benefit the people and make them what the people want."
Although Yang Xue also has the idea of wanting to improve the status of the people in her heart, what she said is by no means empty words.But before the idea of "Jun Zhou Min Shui" hadn't appeared, even though Song Jun and other ministers had expected Yang Xue, her remarks were really more like jokes.
"what"
A mocking sneer came from Gongzidi's mouth, as if mocking Yang Xue for surrendering her status and willing to join the common people.The banter and arrogance in his eyes were undisguised, but he didn't make a sound.
Yang Xue is very clear that in such a slave society, common people cannot even be called "people". To nobles, they are nothing more than dispensable "things". Their value , not even worth a piece of luxurious clothes.
Eyes lowered halfway, Yang Xue's mind is running fast, she won't be so stupid as to shout "everyone is equal", she just hopes that the current slave society can transition to the feudal society that she once hated as soon as possible That's all.It's hard, but not impossible...
"How did your father think Jie and Zhou would subjugate the country?" Suddenly, Yang Xue asked.
Yang Xue also raised such a question in person in her discussion with Confucius, but at that time she just refuted the theory that Meixi and Daji would harm the country.
If we say that in the past, if someone asked such a question, everyone would think of Meixi and Daji. After all, the Yin and Shang Dynasties were not long ago, and the king of Zhou's sentence "don't listen to women" is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.But the words of Yang Xue and Kong Qiu's discussion on Dao were still vivid in his mind, and for a while, Song Jun and all the ministers couldn't think of a better answer.
"...Could it be that Zishao wants to say that it's because of popular support?"
Song Jun didn't answer, so someone would answer for him.
According to the etiquette, in front of the monarch, no matter how high or low the status is, all the officials should call him by his first name. Yang Xue wanted to call the son "uncle" simply because she was not a subject of the Song monarch.And because of this rule, although young master Qin Qin was a little confused about what to call Yang Xue, he still hesitated to ask.
Yang Xue agreed with the young master Qin Qin with a smile, and explained: "Jie and Zhou are tyrannical, and people's lives are so difficult, which led to the disaster of the country's subjugation. If you look at it together with your thoughts, wouldn't the world at that time be Jie and Zhou? Apart from Jie and Zhou, whose status can be called noble? Who has never been humble? Or, in their minds, the so-called nobles and ordinary people are all servants of their royal family, and they have never known it.”
Since the king is not benevolent, the traitor is no longer a "treason", but a "teacher of benevolence and righteousness".Those who steal the country are no longer "stealing the country", but have become "destiny".
Yang Xue didn't point out this sentence directly, but since the people present are the center of Song State's power, how can they not think of this meaning.
"Father, only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world."
The corner of Yang Xue's lips curled up, and a faint but bright smile bloomed on her face.The words on her mouth were not light or heavy, but they were like throwing stones into water, causing waves in Song Jun's heart lake.
Ordinary people, especially kings, when they hear the word "tianxia", their hearts are already agitated, and they can only think about it carefully afterwards.If possible, who wouldn't want to be a wise king who will last forever?
With his own thoughts, Song Jun didn't explicitly express his attitude towards Yang Xue's words, but continued: "How about the specifics, Ah Shao might as well talk about it."
Yang Xue subconsciously looked around at the officials and nobles who were still in a daze, feeling quite worried.What she said next will definitely be unanimously opposed by them!
Knowing that this day will eventually come back, she didn't think about hiding her clumsiness. After taking a deep breath, she started with simple things and said: "A while ago, Ah Shao was ordered to gain the trust of the common people. In the past, I have already found that the common people have been extremely resistant to our royal family and nobles, and they are even extremely unwilling to work for my royal family and nobles. From this, Ah Shao thought, or they are no longer willing to work for my Song Kingdom. Abolish well fields first and allow land to be privately owned?”
With the widespread use of ironware and ox farming, the original well field system has long been unable to keep up with today's agricultural development.As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, many aristocrats exploited the common people and cultivated private fields for personal gain. Up to now, there have been countless competitions among the nobles due to the competition and exchange of private fields. For the nobles, the well field system itself is It is nothing more than an aristocratic private ownership under the guise of state ownership.
Opening up and cultivating a large number of private fields requires a large amount of labor, and the method of slavery is obviously unable to mobilize the enthusiasm of many farmers.In order to attract more laborers, some aristocrats who adapted to the new situation came up with other ways of exploitation, and some feudal dependencies naturally began to emerge.
The policy proposed by Yang Xue at this time is just to legalize all the things that the nobles do today.When it is actually implemented, they can be more carefree, and naturally they will not care about the petty profits that the common people get.
And those ordinary people who have no human rights can naturally turn into an independent individual, allocate some land for production, and independently manage their own agriculture.
In Yang Xue's vision, at least, there will be no better situation than this for the time being.
In the government hall, even the young master who was not used to seeing Yang Xue did not refute, and even some people began to nod in agreement.Only Song Jun has no intention of speaking.
Seeing this, Yang Xue had no choice but to sigh and continued: "Abolish Shiqing and Shilu, the official position of the royal court, those who are capable will take it..."
What this era pursues is "propriety is not inferior to the common people". Among all the vassal states, only the nobles can learn etiquette, virtue and benevolence.Therefore, etiquette is more like a status symbol, deeply engraved in the bones of every nobleman, and he would rather die than violate it.From this, it can also be understood why the State of Lu wanted to launch a war with the State of Song just because Yang Xue violated the "ethics".
And what Confucius advocated was to promote the etiquette, morality, benevolence and righteousness to the common people, so that the common people would also know the etiquette and observe the etiquette and regulate their own words and deeds.When this proposition was first publicized, it was actually opposed by the vast majority of nobles. They believed that ethics and morality were the unique education of nobles, and common people were not worthy of learning.If the common people know the same courtesy as the nobles, then where should the superiority of the nobles be reflected?
But according to Yang Xue's point of view, Yang Xue has to admire Kong Qiu's intelligence and vision——
Confucius said, "The common people are courteous", but what is the "ritual" now?According to Kong Qiu's Confucian concept of etiquette, it is "junjun, ministers, father and son, son and son". It means "to each his own place", that is, everyone needs to see clearly their own status and status, and is only allowed to do things within the limits of their status, otherwise it is "overstepping".Anyone who "overrides" will be punished by everyone, which is the origin of "ethics cannibalism".
Wouldn't it be like "brainwashing" education for later generations to teach such etiquette to the common people?He told everyone in the world to learn this kind of etiquette and morality at an early age, and to agree with this kind of high and low from the bottom of their hearts. Isn't the so-called difference between the noble and the common people manifested immediately?
This is where Confucius was clever.In the past, Kong Qiu was only a declining nobleman who was exiled from the Song Dynasty to Lu. If counted by his status, he was only a commoner with all his strength.In the era when the sons of the gentry monopolized official positions, as a commoner, he actually had no chance to ascend to the position of doctor today.But if Confucianism can be promoted, he, Kong Qiu, is still a nobleman, and he should enjoy all kinds of powers of the nobleman.
Therefore, with the establishment of his private school and the continuous increase of his noble disciples, the etiquette he preached has actually spread all over the world as he wished.What he is thinking now is to spread "benevolence, righteousness and morality" throughout the world. If everyone abides by the bottom line of morality and governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, wouldn't the world be peaceful?
Regarding etiquette, although Yang Xue had objections, she couldn't refute it, and even had to agree with it.Obviously, although this feudal ethics is full of Confucius' selfish desires, its formation has become an inevitable trend today.In any case, it is the princes of these parties who are in charge of the world now.Not to mention that the regimes of the princes of these parties are not in turmoil, she can't fight against the world.Just saying that the people in this world are still ignorant, she can already predict that her efforts will be in vain.
What's more, the arrival of this feudal ethics means the arrival of feudal society.Although she didn't want to admit it, Yang Xue had to admit that compared with today's slave society, this feudal society is actually more of an improvement.At least, unlike today, all civilians are "slaves" of slave owners. Only in feudal society can independent "people" be produced.
Courtesy, benevolence and righteousness and common people...
Even though such a decision is full of mistakes and unfair in Yang Xue's eyes, in the final analysis, it seems that this is only the choice of history.Even if it is her, it seems that she can only make some changes in the process of its implementation...
It seemed that it was only an instant, but Yang Xue's mind had already turned and turned a thousand times, and made a choice.She looked at Kong Qiu and saw the slight satisfaction on his face, even though she felt a little bit of a sigh in her heart, her face was always as clear as a flower, with a pleasant smile.
"Zi Shao also agrees with Master Zi's method of combining "rule of virtue" and "rule of law". Just a 'rule of virtue'."
"Why is this? Why don't you tell me, my lord?" Kong Qiu was not ashamed of it, but asked Yang Xue without haste.
"Rules, morality, benevolence, and righteousness, from the present to the common people, should also be the same as what the Master said, and become a measuring stick for the self-restraint of the people. But what if there are people who do not obey this measuring stick? Isn't there nothing else? Can it be restricted?
Zishao privately thought that punishment would be needed at that time, and such punishment must be severe.We must let this punishment become an iron chain of the country and society, firmly lock the border area of crime, so that the wicked will no longer have the courage to do evil, and the good will continue to do good, this is the only way!Therefore, the primary and secondary status of 'rule of law' and 'rule of virtue' must not be confused! "
Kong Qiu's attitude towards Yang Xue's questions was very good, and Yang Xue never put on airs, and sincerely expressed her thoughts and feelings one by one.
And "heavy punishment" is one of the viewpoints that she needs to focus on.It's not about making Song a country with harsh punishments, nor is it about putting on a "severe" cloak. She just thinks that the punishment that is too light is like scratching an itch, which is not enough to restrain It's just for prevention.
Just like country Z in the 21st century—her motherland, she always thought that the legal system was not perfect.How could killing someone be a capital crime, but rape and rape only resulted in a prison sentence of several years or even ten years?Isn't it the same as gouge out the flesh of a couple's heart to ruthlessly inflict tyranny on someone's self-esteem, soul and body?How can the abusers easily recover from the various injuries caused by a few years in prison?
Yang Xue inadvertently recalled all kinds of past that belonged to her, and quickly lowered her eyes, just barely covering the flash of disgust in her eyes.
Confucius didn't notice any difference in Yang Xue's expression, he just frowned, and didn't comment on Yang Xue's words, he just asked again: "Forcing people, how can they be willing?"
Obviously, he admitted that what Yang Xue said was reasonable, but in the end he still chose his own inherent proposition.
Knowing that this is just a discussion, there is no need to argue about who is right and who is wrong.He didn't think about holding on to this topic any longer, insisting on someone to answer, but lowered his head, bowed his hands to Yang Xue and said, "Young master is a great talent."
Seeing this, Yang Xue knew that the discussion had come to an end, so she also bowed to Confucius and said humbly, "Master, thank you."
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in standing up according to his status as a royal family, and left the cushion under his knees.
Standing at the same spot, before Kong Qiu got up, Yang Xue was still in the hall, but it was no longer the almost helpless situation at the beginning.Even though the gazes of the people present are still only watching and inquiring, but anyway, there is still no malicious condemnation and banter in it.
Turning around, facing Song Jun, Yang Xue knelt down and saluted, with a calm charm on her body, only the look between her eyebrows and eyes could vaguely make people find a bit of confidence and arrogance.
"Father Jun, Ah Shao has finished his discussion with Master."
After Yang Xue finished speaking, Kong Qiu got up as well, and knelt down to Song Jun again to show his respect.
Song Jun Rumo's pupils kept scanning back and forth between Yang Xue and Kong Qiu like a searchlight, and finally landed on Yang Xue.He did know that his daughter had a valley in his heart, but he never expected that such a "valley" would be enough to establish a school of theory, and even be enough to discuss with Confucius without losing the wind.
All of a sudden, Song Jun's heart was full of emotions.Just now, he also listened carefully to the discussion between Yang Xue and Kong Qiu, even he himself was a little surprised that in terms of governing the country, he was actually more inclined to Yang Xue.Even inspired by Yang Xue, many thoughts came to his mind, eager to discuss with Yang Xue.
Song Jun tried his best to suppress his surging heart, and after a while he said calmly: "If so, Ah Shao and Master will go back to their seats."
He spoke lightly, as if everything was normal.If not everyone here clearly remembered the sound scene in the main hall just now, they would have thought that they were still in a dream.
"Yes."
Yang Xue and Kong Qiu each responded, stood up, and quietly smiled coquettishly at Mrs. Jun, who was always worried about her, and Fang Yingying returned to her seat.
With a graceful figure, Yang Xue took a seat behind the original desk, and suddenly remembered that Yi Ziyun's temperament must have been worried for a long time, so she turned her head and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she only saw her His eyes were blank, staring blankly at the place where he had been in the center of the hall, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
I have seen her shy and bowed head, she has seen her petite and pleasant appearance, because of deliberate contact and indulgence, Yang Xue has actually seen Zi Yun in many ways, but generally speaking, she always has her All the women I've seen are the same.Whether it is Song Jun's concubine Teng, or the maids in the palace, or because she is just a concubine, Zi Yun is always as courteous as them.Yang Xue had never seen such an "extraordinary" expression.
Eyes widened a little, Yang Xue clearly knew that she couldn't recover because of herself, but she still couldn't help joking, pretending to be curious, she kept looking at Zi Yun and said: "Yun'er, what is this?" What's the matter? What is it that Yun'er can't even come back?"
Because there are still vague sights from all around her, Yang Xue's voice and movements are also extremely subtle and light, unexpectedly, Zi Yun, who is absorbed in ecstasy, has never heard of it.
For a while, the maid behind Ziyun was a little anxious and wanted to pull Ziyun's wide sleeves as a reminder, but she was afraid that she would be so presumptuous and anger Yang Xue, so she could only kneel and sit behind her secretly anxious.
Not to mention that the servant girl didn't overstep, even if she really offended a little, Yang Xue would not easily drop the blame on her.Therefore, she didn't pay attention to her, Yang Xue smiled a little more at the corners of her eyes and brows, and raised her voice slightly to Zi Yun: "Yun'er, what are you thinking?"
"what"
Ziyun's vermilion lips parted slightly, her almond eyes widened, apparently frightened.When she finally realized that it was Yang Xue who was calling her, she hurriedly turned around again, frowned and bowed, angrily said: "Yun'er was rude, please don't blame Sister Wang."
"It's okay, I just want to ask what Yun'er is thinking, there is no need for Yun'er to panic."
Even though Yang Xue has gradually changed the original owner's arrogant and domineering image over the past few days, in fact, what she has changed is only herself.A concubine is a concubine, a concubine is a concubine, a concubine can be ignored, but a concubine cannot be without respect. "Etiquette cannot be broken", this is the deep-rooted thought of people in this era, and it is also one of the reasons why she cannot refute the general "ritual education".
With a kind of habitual indifference, the interest in Yang Xue's heart has been washed away, leaving only a little helpless gloom.
"Thank you, sister."
Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief, and finally straightened up again.She didn't know why her sister Wang had suddenly become more and more kind recently, but she never thought about what to investigate.
With her status, there is actually no need to have her own ideas.As long as she knows how to be "obedient" and "obedient", if Father Jun, Mrs. Jun and Sister Wang can treat her kindly, it will be a great gift to her. How can she be arrogated by herself?
It's just... just now, she suddenly felt something different in her heart, and she couldn't tell what kind of thought it was, she just felt that her mind was shaking for a while, but she didn't know why. too understand.
According to the rules of etiquette, she couldn't look directly into Yang Xue's eyes, so even though her heart was full of confusion, she always just lowered her eyebrows and eyes.
"Yun'er thinks... Sister Wang is very different..."
She thought for a while, and in the end she could only utter this sentence, but she still didn't ask the confusion in her heart.
In fact, it's not that Yang Xue doesn't know that it's not easy for Ziyun to say such a sentence to her, she just doesn't know what kind of attitude and tone she should use to continue with such a sentence.
Silent for a long time, she could only smile at Ziyun, but in the next second, she could only take that smile back stiffly——Ziyun, who has always lowered her head, couldn't see the smile on her lips meaning...
Who said that a noble status is not a different kind of loneliness?Suddenly, Yang Xue felt a little lonely in her heart.
After drinking for three rounds, no matter how happy the banquet was, it was finally over.
Even though there was an extra scene in the middle of Yang Xue's refutation of Confucian etiquette, Bo Ji's funeral was still a big event, and it was still recorded in history as a "model of virtuousness".
After the funeral, the envoys from various countries stopped staying as usual, and rushed back to their respective countries one after another, rushing to report the matter of "Gong Zi Shao" and "Li Family", for fear of the news that their lord would get later than other countries.
Therefore, only three days after the funeral, there was only one envoy of the defending country left among the envoys of the various countries.And he is to welcome Ziyun back instead of Wei Jun.
Ziyun's dowry was already prepared in the palace, and when the auspicious day came, Ziyun set off with the envoys of Weiguo to Weiguo.
The day before Ziyun's departure, Yang Xue met Ziyun again in the back garden. At that time, Ziyun, because she was going to marry Wei Jun, had taken care of her for several days, and her face looked younger than before. A few days more delicate.
Still in that long pavilion, still in that view, Yang Xue asked Zi Yun again: "Is Yun'er willing to marry Wei Jun?"
Let's count it as her conscience, she still couldn't help asking, the question she asked herself when she first met Ziyun.This fate she didn't want was forced to fall on Ziyun. Even though Ziyun didn't care about it, she knew that this time, it was her fault.
Zi Yun's already delicate face was a little shy at this moment, making it even more delicate.She bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, and then let go, smiling like a flower on her face: "Sister Wang wants to come, she is joking with Yuner again."
For a long time, Yang Xue didn't speak. She actually wanted to say something, but in the end, she refused to be the "fool" in people's eyes.
Isn't it stupid to ask questions that you have no choice over and over again?
Day two.
Today Ziyun is leaving Song State for Wei State, because it is a concubine who is getting married, so Wei Jun has never come to marry in person, and Song Jun and Mrs. Tong Jun will not personally marry.
Before leaving, apart from dozens of dowry and accompanying maidservants, there was no one left by her side.
At the gate of the city, maybe there is something to look forward to, or there is still something to look forward to, Ziyun stood by the side of the car for a long time, looking and looking at the city, I don't know if he is waiting for someone, or just reluctant to part with the capital of Song Dynasty .
Finally, when the sound of the wheels running over the fine stones and the neighing of the horses came, for the first time, Ziyun's always cautious face showed a look of excitement.
The black car was also parked on the side of the city gate, and with the support of the maid, Yang Xue's figure finally appeared in front of Zi Yun.
Yang Xue gradually approached Ziyun, and for the first time, she actually saw Ziyun's "out of line" expression when Ziyun was conscious.Or, because this might be the last side?Yang Xue didn't know either.
Standing in front of Ziyun, Yang Xue immediately reached out to support Ziyun's arms when she saw that Ziyun was about to kneel down again.
"Today is Yun'er getting married, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. Even if the sand on the ground dirty this wedding dress, it is not beautiful."
Contrary to Yang Xue's expectation, this time Zi Yun really listened to her words, and never insisted on kneeling down.But even though she never saluted, she still arched her hands and bowed deeply to Yang Xue.
After letting her finish the salute, Yang Xue retreated the people on both sides, and asked the envoy of Weiguo for some time to say goodbye.
"Yun'er knew that Sister Wang would come."
Before Yang Xue could speak, Zi Yun took the words first.Even though her eyes still didn't look at her own, Yang Xue could tell that she was happy just from her tone.
Everyone retreated, only Yang Xue and Zi Yun were left at the gate of the big city.Beside the two, for the first time, there was not even a maidservant.But maybe because of this environment, Ziyun seems to have released herself a little bit.
"On that day, Sister Wang asked Yun'er what she was thinking, but Yun'er never said anything. At that time, Yun'er thought that if Sister Wang was willing to send Yun'er today, Yun'er would definitely tell her what she thought about that day. Sister Wang's."
Yang Xue had never heard Ziyun take the initiative to say so many words to herself, and she was not surprised, but at this moment, she didn't want to interrupt her.Raising her eyebrows, she was just waiting for Ziyun's next words.
Zi Yun didn't let Yang Xue wait for too long, so she smiled softly: "Yun'er has never left Song Palace in the past ten years, and has never seen more outsiders, but who is Confucius, and Yun'er I have heard about it. Since Sister Wang has the approval of Confucius, what Sister Wang said that day must be correct..."
As he was talking, Zi Yun's expression suddenly became as confused as it was that day, "It's just... that women can't speak...? Yun'er is so stupid, after thinking about it, she still doesn't understand..."
Yang Xue looked at Ziyun with a slightly startled expression, she never thought that Ziyun had been thinking about such a sentence.And this kind of Ziyun was really beyond her expectation.
Don't mind mentioning a few words, Yang Xue stretched out her hand with a smile, put her hand on the top of Ziyun's head in amazement, rubbed her head lightly, and said: "Look, Yun'er, the former Yun Of course, Yun'er would not think so much, but now Yun'er has learned to think. Therefore, it has never been that Yun'er can't think, but Yun'er has never thought about thinking. Naturally, it has never been a woman Not as good as men, but women never thought that they could be better than men."
These words may be regarded as shocking words in the eyes of outsiders, but Ziyun at the moment is ignorant, and she can't think that Yang Xue's words are "very out of line" .
Instead, she nodded in a daze, and replied: "Yun'er doesn't expect to understand now, Yun'er only hopes to understand it in the future."
After finishing speaking, leaving this topic aside, Zi Yun smiled at Yang Xue again softly: "Yun'er doesn't know why Sister Wang cares so much about Yun'er marrying Wei Jun, and Yun'er has never thought about it in her heart." Regardless of any reluctance, anyway, even if it is not Weijun, it will be anyone else. Daughters of the royal family have always only married the royal family."
There is another sentence that Ziyun never said, but Yang Xue herself knows it very well——
The daughter of a concubine has always been married high as a concubine, and has never been married low as a wife...
This is the fate of women in this era. If it wasn't for the arrival of Yang Xue, even Zi Shao, who was favored by Mrs. Jun, would not be able to escape from such a fate...
Pursing her lips, Yang Xue was amused that Zi Yun would come to comfort herself at such a young age, but she just felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Sighing deeply from the bottom of my heart, Yang Xue wanted to sigh something more to Ziyun, but from a distance, she caught a glimpse of the envoy of the State of Wei and many attendants, getting closer and closer to this side.
As Yang Xue turned his head, Zi Yun also saw the figure of the Wei Guo envoy and his attendants.
Looking back, she looked at Yang Xue smiling, and said again: "If we go this time, we may never see each other again, Yun'er only hopes that sister Wang's wishes will come true one by one."
"Sister Wang also hopes that Yun'er will cherish it."
Not knowing what was going on in her heart, Yang Xue only said this.But just after getting such a sentence, Zi Yun seemed to be satisfied, and boarded the car in front of Yang Xue's eyes.
The dust flew up, and their car was getting farther and farther away due to the rush, only Yang Xue was still staring at the dust, refusing to leave——
From one palace to another, this is Ziyun's life as a girl turned woman.What about her?If there is no system, if this era is her home in this life, if she has no more resourcefulness to use, no more strategies to speak of, will this also be her whole life?How sad.
The author has something to say: Keke, the babies want thicker length and more...
After finishing this chapter, I'm probably a president with kidney deficiency [Life without love face]
Love to compliment me! ! !I love you guys, what are you doing (づ ̄3 ̄)づ~~~
After the envoys of the various countries returned to their respective countries, they reported to their respective monarchs one by one what they saw and heard in the Song Dynasty. During the period, they recorded Yang Xue's remarks and opinions in detail, with a lot of half a word.
But unexpectedly, no matter whether they didn't care about it or watched it from the other side, the kings of various countries only chose to hide the matter and did not publicize it.So much so that except for the country of Song, there were no rumors about Yang Xue among the people of other countries.
Judging from the unchanged Dongzhu on her wrist, Yang Xue can probably guess something.She was not discouraged in her heart, she actually knew that among all this, the value she showed was not enough.
Responding to Song Jun's call, Yang Xue arrived in the government hall early, but when she arrived, she found that Song Jun was already waiting in the main hall, and under the desk, looking at his clothes, there were many officials and nobles kneeling.
Yang Xue took a quick look, and only recognized some of the royal family members according to the memory of the original owner, so she turned her gaze away and stopped looking at it any more.
After saluting to Mr. Song, she sat down with Mr. Song's consent. After Yang Xue saw the posture around her, she was surprised, but she could actually guess some of Mr. Song's intentions.But obviously, apart from the same astonishment, the ministers were more disliked and disgusted by Yang Xue's appearance.
"What do you mean by this, Your Majesty? Your Majesty summoned his ministers to discuss political affairs. Is what they are discussing about children's play?"
This middle-aged man, who is dressed luxuriously, speaks full of disdain and humor, and is not even respectful to Song Jun, is the son of the son who once made a letter of remonstrance and rebuked her for not observing etiquette——Song Jun's younger brother.
This son is obviously dissatisfied with Yang Xue for a long time, but whether it is the original owner Zi Shao or herself, Yang Xue has never liked this power-loving, defiant "uncle", or according to him, Song Jun has no children , after the death of Song Jun, he can inherit the position of the next Song Jun.
"Father..."
"Zi Shao!"
She was quite afraid of the real power in the hands of the young master, Yang Xue didn't want to have a dispute with him, she didn't even look at him, she just wanted to speak to Song Jun to avoid his sharp edge.But Young Master Diben likes aggressive people, how could he be silent just because of Yang Xue's concession?
He suddenly raised his voice, and Gongzidi's voice became harsh, "Because of you, Song Guo almost had a rift with Lu Guo, which ruined the decades-old alliance with Lu and the decades-long relationship with Song. Peace. Now, Lord Lu doesn't pursue it, it's a good thing, is it true that Zhuzi will come to disrupt the government, and he will not stop until the Song Dynasty is destroyed?"
Nonsense!
What the young master said was extremely unreasonable but extremely serious. With just a few words, he wanted to accuse Yang Xue of "disaster for the country".
"Uncle's words are too strong and unreasonable!" Although she knew that she couldn't bear the reputation of being disrespectful to her elders, Yang Xue knew better that she couldn't back down——
This charge must never be taken up!For example, Meixi, such as Daji, not to mention being famous all over the world, if she is charged with this crime, even if she is hacked into pieces, it will not be enough to "apology".
"At the state banquet that day, the envoys of all countries heard what Zishao said and thought clearly. Or, this is actually my uncle selectively pretending to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know what Confucius thinks about Ah Shao’s words of approval?”
The young master's round eyes were as big as copper bells. Yang Xue saw that there were ministers who were always close to him around him, and wanted to speak out together with him, so she never gave them such a chance. Without pausing, she opened her mouth and said, "My son Shao’s management of the family, Zishao’s strategy for governing the country, even though few people know about it now, it can still make Confucius unable to argue. Uncle said that Zishao’s disaster for the country, I don’t know why uncle said that?”
"Okay, it's all royal family, so why are uncles and nephews arguing so much?"
Song Jun seemed to be used to the son's defiant attitude, and also used to tolerate the younger brother of the mother's compatriot. He neither blamed Yang Xue nor punished the son, but seemed impatient, and said neither serious nor serious. With that one sentence, this farce was stopped.
For a moment, Young Master Di was blocked and his face was flushed, but he couldn't say anything, his face was green and red for a while, which was very beautiful.
Yang Xue, on the other hand, was much calmer. She understood the meaning of the words "just accept it when you see it". Now that she heard Song Jun speak, although she knew that Song Jun was not angry, she also knew that Song Jun must be dissatisfied. up.
Therefore, without further entanglement with the young master, she turned to Song Jun again, as if nothing had happened, and only asked bluntly: "Listen to what uncle said, this time the king summoned Ah Shao for political affairs. ?”
Song Jun nodded, and asked: "I remember Ah Shao once said that if the Song Dynasty wants to be strong, it must reform its bad governance. Today, I summoned all the ministers to come to consider this matter."
Hearing Jun Song's words, all the ministers, including the young master, couldn't help being puzzled. They had never received any news about Yang Xue making such an agreement with Jun Song.
"Reform bad governance?"
Another compatriot of Song Juntong and Gongzidi, Gongzi Qinqin, who seemed to represent the ministers, asked this question.
But Song Jun, as the king of a country, naturally had no reason to explain to his subordinates, so he just nodded unnecessarily, and cast his eyes on Yang Xue with implied expectations.
Yang Xue felt the curious, interested or questioning gazes from the ministers, but she didn't rush to boast because she wanted to express herself——
This is a country, and this is a real and living people. How dare she abuse the regulations that are not in line with today's reality just for her own mission?How dare you make Song people's life difficult for your own selfish interests?
She settled down and carefully thought about the legal policies of the feudal society that she knew one by one. Only after she confirmed that they were beneficial to the country, the people, and promoted social development did she feel that she was With the confidence to say something——
"Reform bad government, these four words are extremely broad, what is 'bad government'? Anything that is not conducive to the development of Song State is 'bad government'? Then what is beneficial to the development of Song State? Ah Shao thinks that it is the hearts of the people. If you want the Song Dynasty to be strong, the laws and regulations must be changed to benefit the people and make them what the people want."
Although Yang Xue also has the idea of wanting to improve the status of the people in her heart, what she said is by no means empty words.But before the idea of "Jun Zhou Min Shui" hadn't appeared, even though Song Jun and other ministers had expected Yang Xue, her remarks were really more like jokes.
"what"
A mocking sneer came from Gongzidi's mouth, as if mocking Yang Xue for surrendering her status and willing to join the common people.The banter and arrogance in his eyes were undisguised, but he didn't make a sound.
Yang Xue is very clear that in such a slave society, common people cannot even be called "people". To nobles, they are nothing more than dispensable "things". Their value , not even worth a piece of luxurious clothes.
Eyes lowered halfway, Yang Xue's mind is running fast, she won't be so stupid as to shout "everyone is equal", she just hopes that the current slave society can transition to the feudal society that she once hated as soon as possible That's all.It's hard, but not impossible...
"How did your father think Jie and Zhou would subjugate the country?" Suddenly, Yang Xue asked.
Yang Xue also raised such a question in person in her discussion with Confucius, but at that time she just refuted the theory that Meixi and Daji would harm the country.
If we say that in the past, if someone asked such a question, everyone would think of Meixi and Daji. After all, the Yin and Shang Dynasties were not long ago, and the king of Zhou's sentence "don't listen to women" is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.But the words of Yang Xue and Kong Qiu's discussion on Dao were still vivid in his mind, and for a while, Song Jun and all the ministers couldn't think of a better answer.
"...Could it be that Zishao wants to say that it's because of popular support?"
Song Jun didn't answer, so someone would answer for him.
According to the etiquette, in front of the monarch, no matter how high or low the status is, all the officials should call him by his first name. Yang Xue wanted to call the son "uncle" simply because she was not a subject of the Song monarch.And because of this rule, although young master Qin Qin was a little confused about what to call Yang Xue, he still hesitated to ask.
Yang Xue agreed with the young master Qin Qin with a smile, and explained: "Jie and Zhou are tyrannical, and people's lives are so difficult, which led to the disaster of the country's subjugation. If you look at it together with your thoughts, wouldn't the world at that time be Jie and Zhou? Apart from Jie and Zhou, whose status can be called noble? Who has never been humble? Or, in their minds, the so-called nobles and ordinary people are all servants of their royal family, and they have never known it.”
Since the king is not benevolent, the traitor is no longer a "treason", but a "teacher of benevolence and righteousness".Those who steal the country are no longer "stealing the country", but have become "destiny".
Yang Xue didn't point out this sentence directly, but since the people present are the center of Song State's power, how can they not think of this meaning.
"Father, only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world."
The corner of Yang Xue's lips curled up, and a faint but bright smile bloomed on her face.The words on her mouth were not light or heavy, but they were like throwing stones into water, causing waves in Song Jun's heart lake.
Ordinary people, especially kings, when they hear the word "tianxia", their hearts are already agitated, and they can only think about it carefully afterwards.If possible, who wouldn't want to be a wise king who will last forever?
With his own thoughts, Song Jun didn't explicitly express his attitude towards Yang Xue's words, but continued: "How about the specifics, Ah Shao might as well talk about it."
Yang Xue subconsciously looked around at the officials and nobles who were still in a daze, feeling quite worried.What she said next will definitely be unanimously opposed by them!
Knowing that this day will eventually come back, she didn't think about hiding her clumsiness. After taking a deep breath, she started with simple things and said: "A while ago, Ah Shao was ordered to gain the trust of the common people. In the past, I have already found that the common people have been extremely resistant to our royal family and nobles, and they are even extremely unwilling to work for my royal family and nobles. From this, Ah Shao thought, or they are no longer willing to work for my Song Kingdom. Abolish well fields first and allow land to be privately owned?”
With the widespread use of ironware and ox farming, the original well field system has long been unable to keep up with today's agricultural development.As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, many aristocrats exploited the common people and cultivated private fields for personal gain. Up to now, there have been countless competitions among the nobles due to the competition and exchange of private fields. For the nobles, the well field system itself is It is nothing more than an aristocratic private ownership under the guise of state ownership.
Opening up and cultivating a large number of private fields requires a large amount of labor, and the method of slavery is obviously unable to mobilize the enthusiasm of many farmers.In order to attract more laborers, some aristocrats who adapted to the new situation came up with other ways of exploitation, and some feudal dependencies naturally began to emerge.
The policy proposed by Yang Xue at this time is just to legalize all the things that the nobles do today.When it is actually implemented, they can be more carefree, and naturally they will not care about the petty profits that the common people get.
And those ordinary people who have no human rights can naturally turn into an independent individual, allocate some land for production, and independently manage their own agriculture.
In Yang Xue's vision, at least, there will be no better situation than this for the time being.
In the government hall, even the young master who was not used to seeing Yang Xue did not refute, and even some people began to nod in agreement.Only Song Jun has no intention of speaking.
Seeing this, Yang Xue had no choice but to sigh and continued: "Abolish Shiqing and Shilu, the official position of the royal court, those who are capable will take it..."
