Three hundred and thirty-eighth chapter before the king duel (2)(1/2)
What is the Ram School? What is its proposition? Why did it rise and why it decline.
This matter is very complicated to say, and I'm afraid it won't be clear if it's three days and three nights.
Even Zhang Yue is now difficult to figure it out for a while, but he has a clear idea in his heart.
At this moment, when he looked at the old emperor, he remembered two stories in his heart.
The first one is that in about 189 years, a Confucian scholar named Zhu Hong wrote to Emperor Zhao and said: His master Dong Zhongshu had a saying that even if he had a king who would follow the body and keep the literature, he would not harm the sages. The Han family, Yao, had the fortune of spreading the country. Who should the Han emperor give the world the wise men, seek the throne of the emperor, and retreated to be a hundred miles, just like the Yin, and the Queen of Zhou, to obey the destiny of heaven!
It means: My ancestor Dong Zhongshu said that even if there is a king who ascends the throne and abides by morality and benevolent government, it will not prevent a better saint king from standing out from the world. The Liu family is the descendant of Emperor Yao, and has the destiny to give way to Zen wise men. So your majesty, please find that wise man quickly and give up the throne to him...
So, Mr. Guan Hong was chopped off his head without hesitation.
By the way, this Mr. Guan Hong is a serious scholar in the Dong family of the Gongyang School.
His teacher was Dong Zhongshu's disciple Ying Gong, and among his disciples there were Yan Pengzu and Yan Anle, a great scholar who was famous for historic history.
Moreover, he was not nervous, but he really hoped so much from the bottom of his heart.
The second story is Gu Yong, the minister of Emperor Cheng.
This is also a powerful person!
He invented the famous idiom, catching wind and shadow.
The Book of Han records a memorial written by Gu Yong to Emperor Cheng.
Gu Yong said this: natural people are born to scatter the people, and they cannot govern each other. In order to establish a king, they will govern the country. They will not be the emperor, the territory, or the princes, but all of them will be the people! They will be the three rules and the three righteousnesses, and they will be virtuous and do not have a private surname. The world will be the world of the world, and the world will not be the world of one person!
Unfortunately, Mr. Gu Yong was also a disciple of the Dong family of the Gongyang School.
Thinking of these two stories, Zhang Yue felt a little creepy and even trembled all over.
Because among the historical materials he has traced back and the Gongyang scholars he has seen, heard and contacted now, people like Ju Hong and Gu Yong think are not one or two, but one catches a lot.
Put it in a basket and load it on a bucket, so many you can't imagine.
Of course, now, what you think of like Gu Yong is the minority, and what you think of like Hong is the majority.
In fact, the ideals and demands of Dong Zhongshu and the Gongyang School were not what later Confucian scholars called "assisting the king, cultivating oneself and governing the country and pacifying the world."
What they want to do is to put themselves above the king's head.
Let their thoughts and opinions be above all things in the world.
Therefore, the later king beat it to death without hesitation.
Especially Emperor Guangwu, Brother Xiu, did not hesitate to personally take the lead in the Zuo Zhuan School with his body, and tried his best to suppress and restrict the Gongyang School.
This is the root cause of the decline of Gongyang's thought in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In fact, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were more than one ram who played prophecy and taboos.
Gu Liang and Zuo Zhuan were also playing, and they were having a lot of fun.
The so-called ram idea is too boring, pedantic and feudal superstition, which is just an excuse for others to attack it.
In fact, the ram idea is the most suitable for China among all Confucian factions, and the most enterprising and pioneering ideas.
Otherwise, the benevolent and ambitious people in the late Qing Dynasty would not have turned it out from the pile of old papers, shake it off, and then try to revive the summers, reform and rebuild China based on this.
Unfortunately, at that time, everything was too late.
The powerful and powerful people in the Qing Dynasty were reluctant to completely transform into Xia like the Xianbei clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Instead, they guarded the interests of their small group and said that they would rather have friends than slaves.
Thinking about the propositions and ideas of the Gongyang School, and then the actions of the Gongyang School’s intellectuals in the long river of history.
Zhang Yue sighed.
In a society like China, if you want to limit the power of the monarch, what kind of republic is that you can rule the sage emperor?
That is impossible.
Not to mention, the ambitions of the Gongyang School are really too great!
It's so big that it's impossible to achieve!
At least now, under the current productivity, the ideals of the Ram School should be kept in front of it.
Academics ultimately lose power.
As a time traveler, he is also a former civil servant.
When Zhang Yue faced this situation, he was not under any pressure.
He already knew how to deal with and respond to the emperor's problems in this matter.
At present, a slow rule like Gu Yong is only a minority in the minority within the Gongyang School.
Therefore, what we need to solve is an idealist school like Guan Hong.
So, he sorted out his thoughts slightly. Zhang Yue bowed for a long time: "I am grateful to Your Majesty for being met by you and be trusted by Changsun. I will take it as my responsibility to support the Han Dynasty and to give the king Yao and Shun..."
The emperor listened, but his eyelids kept twitching.
To the Lord Yao and Shun?
Are you the same as those Yan Ze? Do you want to ride on my head and show off your power?
Fortunately, he was very tolerant of Zhang Yue and trusted him very much. He felt that this minister would not betray or hurt him, so he continued to listen patiently.
Otherwise, if someone else had changed, he would have been kicked out long ago.
Zhang Yue bowed his head to the ground and said, "I heard that the politics, religion and culture are the ones that say it is to save it. When it is used, it is abandoned. If it is easy, it is changed. Therefore, those who keep the same and do not change have not seen the ultimate governance! Therefore, I should maintain a spirit of tempering, strive forward bravely, and make the Han Dynasty's laws, preach Your Majesty's righteousness, and understand the integrity of the ministers..."
The emperor listened and finally smiled and said, "Please continue..."
When Zhang Yue heard this, he knew that his choice was right. In fact, in layman terms, the passage he said just now was translated into vernacular: I think that the Han Dynasty should hold high the banner of reform and reform, continue to deepen reform, and always be on the road. In this way, the destiny will last forever and the country will be destiny.
"I have written the "The King's Destiny" to offer His Majesty. I think that the destiny of heaven is in the Han Dynasty. This is a matter of early determination. The rise of the Han Dynasty is to follow the will of heaven and the people. Your Majesty is to be in harmony with the throne, to harmonize the yin and yang, to spread the sage virtues, to benefit all the people, and to benefit the people. If the world is not virtuous, the Han Dynasty will live forever..." At this time, Zhang Yue naturally dug out the foreshadowing that was laid before without hesitation. The "The King's Destiny" was prepared for today!
Hearing this, the emperor sat upright and said solemnly: "My dear, please discuss with me in detail, why is the law of the country's life for thousands of years..."
For him, he believed in Dong Zhongshu's evil and supported the Gongyang School. He thought that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would not have any bad thoughts.
How could I think...
I really regret it!
What made him even more helpless was that after the Gongyang School came to power, it started a career in Confucianism and the Legalists, and it was very exciting.
It made him feel a little confused.
What's even more terrible is that as time goes by, the ram's thought gradually flourished and dominated the world.
Until now, even he dared not say that he could easily eradicate the influence of this school.
When they were afraid of the rat, they could only try to communicate with the Gongyang School, hoping that they would not cause trouble for themselves.
Fortunately, now, in the war against the Huns, the Gongyang School can barely suppress the slow-moving thoughts that are ready to move in their hearts.
We can continue to unite under his banner, expel the Huns, build a new world, and create a new era.
But the question is what after the demise of the Huns?
Therefore, he urgently needed to find a new idea and a new theory to support the Han Dynasty.
When Zhang Yue saw this, he hurriedly bowed again.
The development of the Ram idea to this day has actually come to a time when it is necessary to change.
No more change, or compromise.
Scholars from the Gongyang School can kill themselves!
You may not believe it if you say it. On the eve of its demise, the Western Han Dynasty just reached its peak in the heyday of ancient feudal dynasties!
According to the Han Dynasty, "Although the people's wealth is not as rich as those in the Wenjing, the household registration in the world is the most prosperous."
How strong is it?
During the Aiping period, the Western Han Dynasty finally counted the land in the country. The household registration data showed that at that time, there were 8.27536 hectares of land in the world, 2.233362 households, and 59.594978 population.
Zhang Taiyan, a later generation, believed that at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, "the family was enough for people and the world was Ai'an."
Neon's Han history researcher Naito Hunan even believed that civil affairs were carried out normally in the later years of the Western Han Dynasty and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
But at the time of such a powerful dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty collapsed.
Wang Mang usurped the fruits of the Western Han Dynasty almost without any effort.
Moreover, except for a few people and the Huns who opposed it, even the Liu clan clan closed their mouths and accepted this reality.
The king sighed: Those who are brave and usurped by such speed will unite the world to usurp the usurpation!
Why did it become like this?
In a feudal dynasty, there are no major internal troubles inside, as for external worries?
Even the Huns had already knelt down and called them dad.
In the world, the Han family drew their swords and looked at each other in a daze, and they just wanted to sing a song of invincibility so lonely.
However, the Western Han Dynasty was still rapid and suddenly, and immediately destroyed.
To be continued...
