"It's embarrassing for me to kill them!" Zhao Yu listened to Wang Yinglin's words of 'pointing at Sang and scolding Huai', how could he not understand the meaning of his words, and said with a secret smile in his heart. But Zhao Yu also felt depressed, to be honest for so many years, he was still not suitable for dealing with those Confucian ministers and everyone, not that he hated them, but that he felt tired.

These people never speak directly, but express themselves in a roundabout way, which is no different from clenching his fists and making him guess for a science man whose language is only passing. Therefore, when we talk to them, we must listen with a good spirit, so as to ponder the 'connotation' and understand the 'meaning' in it, so as not to misinterpret it, which will cause misunderstanding and unnecessary disputes. But after thinking about it, Zhao Hao also understood.

As the saying goes, 'accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger', and if you don't get a word, you will annoy the emperor, and the light one will lose his official position and send him back to his hometown, and the heavy one will kill the heads of the nine clans. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, these ministers naturally have to talk about strategy, and they must be extremely careful when giving advice to the emperor. As for what you want to express, it's like a primary school Chinese teacher finishing a text and letting you summarize the main idea by yourself.

"Your Majesty Shengming, this Northern Expedition recovered thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, recovered the old capital, saved the country from danger, saved the people from fire and water, revived my Great Song Dynasty, and the merit is comparable to Taizu's founding of the country." Wang Yinglin was told by the emperor, and his old face couldn't help but turn red, but he also understood that the emperor understood the meaning of the words, and secretly gave a praise in his heart.

"Hehe, where do I dare to compare with Taizu, as long as I don't be scolded as the first emperor!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to excuse him from courtesy, and said with a dry laugh. scolded again in my heart, if you praise Lao Tzu, just say it, and knock me twice with a small stick, comparing me to Taizu is nothing more than mentioning myself not to forget the ancestral precept of 'ruling the world with scholars'.

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and he will go down in history like Tang Taizong!" Wang Yinglin was stunned when he heard this, but turned to salute again.

"Hehe, I can't afford it either!" Zhao Yu was also stunned, he knew that according to the convention, to praise the emperor for his wisdom, he generally either brought out the three ancient sages of Yao Shunyu, or moved out of the old emperors of Qin Emperor Han Wu and Tang Sect and Song Zu. But he slipped Tang Taizong out alone and beat himself, which meant something else, and he blocked it with a slight smile.

Just compared himself to Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Yu also beat Wang Yinglin not to be too optimistic, I have the courage of Qin Shi Huang. And one of the major things that Qin Shi Huang did was 'burning books and pit Confucianism', at this moment he must be able to imagine what the 'holy will' is, which is to warn him, and it is also the Confucian group not to go too far, otherwise I will not be abolished, but I can change horses. In addition, I don't care about any false name that will go down in history, I don't have to use those to blackmail me, I'm not afraid!

It has been more than ten years since he came to this world, and Zhao Hao has also been taught by many famous scholars and Confucians, and he can't talk about learning through the past and the present, but he also knows some skins, and understands that Confucianism is not the only way to govern the country.

After Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang had replaced the feudal system with the county system, and the laws, measurements, writing, and even train tracks were all placed under the same standard. The new manifestation of the Mandate of Heaven has been established with the title of Emperor and the Five Virtues, and the Emperor has also fulfilled the religious responsibility of sealing Zen. Legalism was established as the orthodoxy of the empire, and the whole country was called upon to "take officials as teachers" and learn the law. Weapons are collected, melted and reforged into gold men placed in the heart of the empire. The Emperor traveled far and wide to inspect the empire's borders. Heavy agrarian farming was extended throughout the empire as a proven policy.

The imperial system seems to have been established, "although Qin is an old state, its destiny is renewed", and the empire under the restoration will jump out of the fateful cycle of "endless fighting" under the feudal system. The tragedy of the usurpation of Shang Tang and King Wu will no longer be staged. Under the maintenance of the new system, the empire will gain inner self-confidence, and fight against the Northern Hu and Nanban with a strong and unified attitude, "the spread is endless".

The emperor, who was satisfied, erected stone monuments all over the country with the help of Li Si's handwriting, singing the praises of this groundbreaking achievement in history: "Remembering the troubled times, dividing the land and building the state, and opening up disputes." Meritorious battles are made every day, and blood is shed in the wilderness, starting from Taigu. There are no tens of thousands in the world, and the five emperors cannot be forbidden. It is the emperor today, the whole world, and the army will not come back. The disaster is eliminated, the head of Qianshou Kangding, and the benefit is long-lasting. ”

However, the Confucian scholars were in the opposite tune, and at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they suggested to the emperor that they should "divide the same surname and suppress it". He advocates that "those who can last a long time without learning from ancient times are not heard of". In fact, in this regard, Zhao Yu believes that although Confucianism is conservative, it will not be a big mistake, because their world is more real and therefore more solid than the pursuit of an illusory future. The old form gives rise to the old power structure, and the old power structure also calls for the old form, and they gain each other to form a stable historical cycle, which is called reincarnation.

Therefore, for the bold move of the Qin Empire, the Confucian scholars must have thought that "politicians are overconfident, and want to use their own opinions to strengthen the world to obey, but they do not know the severity of its evils, which is also a disaster." But he also thinks that history has its own inertia. However, inertia does not represent the general trend, if the Qin Empire succumbs to inertia, it may not be able to enjoy hundreds of years of national fortune like the three generations, but it may not be able to achieve the first great unification in history. And if they become an obstacle to the development of history, the end of being suppressed is inevitable.

After the Han threw off all the old burdens, the land of China was lightly armed in the form of the newly built Han Empire, which really deepened the state system of government that had been used for more than 2,000 years, so the Qin system in the common sense of later generations was not so much the Qin system as the Han system. Zhao Yu thought that Qin only determined the superficial work of various system designs, while Han really gave the inner soul of the official governance system.

As an observer of later generations, if you only know the facts that people can know at that time, then this superficiality is the result of a lack of sensitivity to the facts, and the dilemma it brings is to turn a blind eye to the huge hidden lines of the era of great changes, and attribute some more profound things to the preferences of a few rulers. The situation is different, and what is important is not the specific measures, but the overall context outlined by the measures.

Therefore, Zhao Yu believes that the truly most valuable exposition of the Han system comes from Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuan's crown prince, that is, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, thought that Emperor Xuan's punishment was too severe, and suggested that he appoint more Confucian scholars, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was full of color, the Han family had its own law, which was a combination of domineering and royal way, why should we pay attention to moral education alone, and imitate the system of the Zhou Dynasty, besides, ordinary Confucian scholars do not know current affairs, and like to use the past and the present, which makes people confused about the metaphysical name, and does not know how to make correct judgments, where is it worth entrusting important tasks. Emperor Xuan of Han even asserted that it would be Emperor Yuan of Han who would bring down the Han family in the future.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty has several meanings, the Han family system is a combination of hegemony and royal road, this system runs through from the beginning, not founded by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty himself, moral education should not be ignored but must be limited, the system of the Zhou Dynasty is not in line with the current social reality, the governance of the Han family focuses on reality rather than temple theory, and Confucianism lacks administrative ability and should be used with caution.

In summary, it can be seen that the Han family took a road of thoroughly governing the country, which was a continuation of the Qin system, not a restoration of the Zhou system, and the Huang Lao Confucian Legalists on the surface were just embellishments and means. At the time of the founding of the country, the division of feudal and Confucian use was only a strategic retreat to advance, and under this steady policy, the rule of officials made the country truly stable.

Therefore, Zhao Yu's understanding is that although the Han Empire was founded against the Qin system, even if it adopted harsher methods than the Qin system, it could avoid moral condemnation for at least a while. But by the time this condemnation was finally inevitable, the empire had already mastered the means of control and repression, and this covert political routine took place very covertly, but it provided the basis for the survival of the new empire.

However, the Confucian scholars also opened their minds at this time, and the Confucian intellectuals, who were extremely stubborn and opposed to the new system during the Qin Empire, became fanatical apologists for the new system in the Han Dynasty, and they proposed terms such as "great unification" and "unity of heaven and man" far beyond the theoretical heights that the orthodox Legalists could achieve during the Qin Empire. Thoughts don't determine position, but location determines thoughts. Their participation compensated for the moral dilemma of the naked Legalist state, allowing for the rationalization of any vicissitudes in political struggles, thereby limiting the authority of the monarchy, in which case Confucianism was effectively alienated into Confucianism in which the state was ruled by officials.

After entering the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism began to be valued, but it also had historical realities. In fact, the three religions were all greatly developed in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism emphasized Zen Buddhism, Taoism emphasized metaphysics, Confucianism emphasized scriptures and the rudiments of Xinxue, and their development was still a continuation of the discussion of metaphysics in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Confucianism advocates that the civilization of etiquette and music does not violate the natural nature of human beings, so it should be civilized.

Taoism advocates the opposite of this; The two factions discussed until the five chaotic times, and both factions lost the social basis for discussion. It is impossible to last if it is broken but not established, and Taoism will rise up, breaking and breaking but not breaking the emptiness, and returning to social reality. With the advent of great unification, mankind still needs civilization, so Confucianism, which represents the civilization of etiquette and music, was revived in the Tang Dynasty, and the idea gradually became the mainstream......

Therefore, the dialogue between the two seems to be only a few sentences, but in fact, it is secretly witty and rich in connotation, containing thousands of years of governing thoughts. Wang Yinglin let himself learn another meaning of Tang Taizong is that the Qin Emperor and Han Wu did not use Confucianism, and as a result, one died in two lifetimes, and the other was desolate in his old age, but Tang Taizong created a prosperous era that surpassed his predecessors, Your Majesty, you want to revive the Great Song Dynasty, but you want to abandon us, the end must be very miserable, you have to think about the consequences......
