One of the biggest pain points of Confucianism is that they advocated the kingly way of the three generations, but had to face the monarchy in reality. The sages who were determined to reappear the abdication were finally slapped in the face by Wang Mang’s abdication drama of the Han Dynasty.

Faced with Ke Bineng's questions, Xun Yun could not answer them.

Seeing Xun Yun being embarrassed, Ke Bi could tell that he had made a mistake and quickly explained: "Forgive me, I am not criticizing the sages, but just want to find a solution from the sage's books." He paused and added: "And very

urgent."

"Oh? Why is it so urgent?" Xun Yun reluctantly regained his calmness.

"Originally, the strong are respected on the grassland, which is a bit similar to what you Han people say about abdication. Later, it gradually became a brother's story, and now it has become a father-son story. It's just that some people think it's good to pass on father-son, while others think it's good to pass on brothers' stories.

, There are more people who hope to continue the previous method. Whoever has strong strength will become the king of the grassland. Different ideas will naturally lead to conflicts."

He sighed. "To say something pretentious, if it were not for this, even if the emperor was wise and General Xun was good at fighting, he would probably not be able to bow to my Xianbei. When King Tan Shihuai was there, the Xianbei was thousands of miles away from east to west and hundreds of thousands of cavalry,

Invincible. Even if King Tan Shihuai died, if he could successfully pass the throne to Huai Zong instead of fighting with his brothers, he would not..."

Ke Bi Neng suddenly woke up and quickly closed his mouth.

Xun Yun was curious when he heard this. "Who is Huai Zong? What's the matter with brothers fighting?"

Kebi Neng hesitated for a moment and sighed.

"Huai Zong is Tan Shihuai's eldest son. He followed King Tan Shihuai's war at a very young age. He had a very good relationship with the generals under King Tan Shihuai and was originally the most ideal heir. However, the Xianbei did not have a system passed down from father to son at that time.

Some people think they have the opportunity to compete for the throne of the king, but they dare not be enemies of Huai Zong head-on, so they instigated to compete with Lian for the throne."

Xun Yun listened with relish. He knew very little about the Xianbei, and this was the first time he heard of such a thing. However, he was not unfamiliar with such stories. There were many similar examples in the Central Plains court.

The abolition of the elders and the establishment of the young are often the root cause of civil strife.

"He is not as good as Huai Zong when he uses troops with Lian, but he is good at conspiracy and finally forced Huai Zong to death, but it also made the Xianbei disagree from then on. The troops fought against each other and suffered heavy casualties." Ke Bineng shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness. "Heroes all died suddenly

, The rest are villains. If Huai Zong doesn’t die, why would this be?”

"So you also want to learn from my father and son now?"

Ke Bi Neng frowned and was silent for a moment. "According to the view of the minister, can the father and son solve this problem? Speaking of which, although He Lian is not the eldest son, he is also the biological son of King Tan Shihuai."

Xun Yun's eyes rolled and he understood Ke Bineng's dilemma.

If we praise father and son, then Ke Bi Neng will never be able to rise to power, because he is not a descendant of Tan Shihuai.

If we do not praise the father-son legend, even if Ke Bineng becomes the King of Xianbei, he will not be able to guarantee that his descendants will benefit, because his descendants may not be as strong as him.

I have to say that this is indeed a difficult problem.

In fact, the inheritance of the throne of the Han Dynasty was also such a dilemma, but the abdication advocated by Confucianism is more reasonable.

The only regret is that because of Wang Mang's affairs, the abdication system has become a taboo, far less than the destiny of heaven and luck, such a theory as gentle. Therefore, the world is in chaos, and many people are saying that the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty is about to end, and they are all living by the virtue of the earth.

, but not many people abdicate.

Xun Yun thinks this question is complicated and difficult to answer.

He can only say to Ke Bi, I am a little ignorant and don’t know how to answer your question. Let me go back and think about it, ask some people and answer you later.

Ke Bi Neng was a little disappointed, but he could understand it. After all, Xun Yun was just a young man who was just a young man.

In mid-December, Zhang Lu's envoy arrived.

Liu Xie ordered Xun Yun to greet him, settle them first, and learn about some basic situations so that they can deal with it.

In addition to Liu Xie's intention, Xun Yun also accepted Xun Wenqian's appointment and wanted to learn about some Taoisms for health preservation, so he was particularly attentive and very enthusiastic.

Zhang Lu had a large number of envoys, with a total of more than ten people, led by Taoist priest Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi has no reputation, but his status is very high. He is the direct disciple of the first generation of Tianshi Zhang Ling, and is one generation higher than Zhang Lu. He is over 70 years old, but he has practiced since childhood, so he looks very good and looks like

That is, he looks like he is in his early fifties.

After learning that Xun Yun was the son of Xun Yu and the brother of Xun Guiren, Wang Zhi was very enthusiastic. After telling Xun Yun some secret Taoism that was passed down by others, he said that they were the true Taoist teachings of Tianshi, and Zhang Jiao was a side sect, so he did

The Yellow Turban style is to covet wealth and honor on earth, and he has no idea of ​​the true meaning of Taoism.

Listen to the titles of the three brothers, General of the Heavenly Lord, General of the Earth, General of the Human King, General of the Human King. Is this the name that those who practice Taoism can claim?

Zhang Lu is different. He is not rich and noble in the world, nor has worldly ambitions, but just protects the country and the people.

Xun Yun had a good impression of Wang Zhi. After chatting for a while, he asked them to wait with peace of mind and then reported to Liu Xie.

After listening to Xun Yun's introduction, Liu Xie asked casually: "Changqian, how do you think you should treat Tianshidao? How do you treat Zhang Lu?"

Xun Yun did not dare to be negligent and expressed his own views with careful consideration of the words and sentences.

Judging from the number of envoys and Wang Zhi's identity, Zhang Lu did not have the idea of ​​separatist rule. A county in Hanzhong has limited household registration and is sandwiched between Guanzhong and Bashu, and has no strength to separatist rule. In addition, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang

The possibility of his alliance with Liu Zhang does not exist.

Praying to the court was almost Zhang Lu's only choice.

Of course, it seems unlikely to make Zhang Lu give up Hanzhong immediately. No matter how indifferent he said, he is still a human being after all, and he did not ascend in the daytime like his grandfather Zhang Ling and his father Zhang Heng.

Keeping Zhang Lu in Hanzhong for the time being may be a good choice. After a few years, with the foundation of mutual trust, it is not difficult to find another opportunity to transfer Zhang Lu to the position of the court and directly control Hanzhong.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "What should we do with Tianshi Tao?"

"The Tao of Heavenly Master is not the Tao of Peace. It is not a Tao of peace. It doesn't seem that there is no need to deal with it deliberately."

Liu Xie smiled. "Is it okay for Taoist Master Tian to enter the officialdom by relying on Taoism?"

Xun Yun suddenly changed his face and shook his head repeatedly. "The Tao of the Heavenly Master is the way to be born. Since you practice Taoism, you should be clear-minded and have few desires and practice Taoism with peace of mind. Why should you become an official? Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. "Wang Zhisheng has demonstrated the Tao that can keep health preservation and stay in love. You don't recommend him to become an official? A gentleman advocates etiquette and exchanges. If you do this, it is not in line with the way of a gentleman."

Xun Yun was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, seeking the Tao and asking the law is a private matter, and recommending the wise and talent is a public matter. Although I am stupid, I dare not use my own private matters to disrupt the public. Wang Zhi taught the Tao and the law, and the minister gave me gold.

Just thank him for the silver. I would recommend him to become an official, which not only ruined the imperial system and disrupted his desire to practice Taoism. Isn’t it a pity?”

Liu Xie didn't say anything. Regardless of whether Xun Yun's words were true or not, it would always be good to have such an understanding.

However, allowing Tianshidao to return to the mountains and forests does not conform to his established policy.

Compared with Confucianism, which has been full of confusion and is already difficult to justify itself, the new Taoism is still very rough. It would be a pity not to take this opportunity to put Taoism on the right track?
