Chapter 0616: Yuan Shao's Careful Thoughts
ps: It's late for the update, sweat a ...... Qixi Festival, are brothers and sisters having fun?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
It is said that the Han Dynasty overthrew Daqin, and Daqin is a "water virtue", at least you must choose a "virtue" that can overcome water, but Gaozu was confused and still chose "water virtue", leaving a big joke. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Water virtue means "resolute and deep, everything is determined by the law, and there is no benevolence and righteousness", which is very unpopular.
Beiping Hou Zhang Cang turned out to be the imperial history of the Great Qin Dynasty, proficient in the calendar, and very good at the "Five Virtues Always Said", but he didn't dare to speak out, so he thought of an idea to fool Han Gaozu, saying that the violent Qin was not a dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was the orthodoxy that inherited the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou is the virtue of fire, and of course the Han is the virtue of water.
By the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, this mistake could not be contained. First of all, the famous Jia Yi wrote to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, saying that according to the principle of the five elements of mutual restraint, the earth and the water, and the Han should be the soil of the Han Dynasty, so as to defeat the Qin Dynasty of the water virtue, and suggested that Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty immediately change the virtue and change the color of the clothes to yellow. Emperor Wen of Han ignored him and kicked him to Changsha.
Later, a Lu man named Gongsun Chen also discovered this error, so he gave Emperor Wen of Han a copy of the note, predicting that according to the talisma, a yellow dragon would appear in Chengji (present-day Jingning County, Gansu Province) in a few days. Yellow is paired with soil in the five elements, so the Han should pursue the virtue of soil. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty asked Zhang Cang, who was then prime minister, to deal with the matter. Zhang Cang was very annoyed when he saw it, didn't he want me to die? Ignore it.
A few days later, someone said that he had seen the Yellow Dragon in Chengji, and then flew again. This incident made Zhang Cang unlucky, and he went home, but Gongsun Chen was given the title of doctor and ordered to compile a calendar according to Tude.
This kind of discovery of auspiciousness has no cost at all, and the benefits are high, so later generations have followed suit. Today, when we open the history books, we can often see the sun and moon in a certain year, who sees a dragon in a certain year, and the special report auspicious Rui Yunyun, all of which are the heads of this Gongsun Chen.
Zhao Guoren Aragaki Ping was a famous yin and yang family, he saw Gongsun Chen's fame and fortune, and immediately ran to Chang'an to deceive Emperor Wen of Han in the name of discovering auspiciousness. As a result, a few years later, the scam was exposed, and Emperor Wen of Han was devastated, and the matter of changing morality was immediately closed.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arrived, Taishi ordered Sima Qian, Dazhong Doctor Gongsun Qing, and Hu Sui to write to the Son of Heaven, saying that they would reorganize the calendar. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty invited Ni Kuan, the imperial historian, and asked the four of them to discuss it. The four of them saw that the opportunity was good, and suggested Feng Tude. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that this suggestion was very reasonable, so he approved it, reformed the system, and changed the year to the first year of Taichu according to the new calendar "Taichu Calendar".
At this time, something troublesome happened. Hongru Dong Zhongshu put forward a theory of three unifications in "Spring and Autumn Harvest Dew: Three Generations of Reform Essays", he believes that "Shang is white, and ugly; Zhou is a red unity, Jianzi; When there is a new king, he will be the black ruler and Jianyin".
There is a great contradiction between this "theory of three unifications" and the "theory of five virtues consistently." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was eloquent and strategic, took the Zhengshuo in the Three Unifications and the Five Virtues in the clothing color, appointed the Han Dynasty as Tude, wore yellow clothes, and used the "Three Unifications and Five Virtues", and since then the matter of deducing the five virtues has been handed over to the Confucian scholars, and the Fangshi have been driven out of the court.
The matter of Han Chengtude should have ended here, however, by the time of Emperor Cheng of Han, the matter of Han Cheng made waves again. This wave not only caused a shock at the time, but even had a great impact on the millennium of later generations, and its initiators were Liu Xiang and Liu Xin, father and son.
These two fathers and sons are the ancestors of the Han family, the descendants of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, the best Confucian in this dynasty, the writings are not counted, but at the same time these two people are also the masters of the Wei Wei of this dynasty, they found that the "five virtues always say" The displacement of dynasties has a problem, and then found the saying about "five elements born together" in Dong Zhongshu's "Spring and Autumn Dew", so they came to a conclusion that the order of the dynasties that the five virtues have always said is incorrect, and it should be counted from Fuxi, not the Yellow Emperor, In addition, the succession between dynasties is not a relationship of mutual restraint, but a symbiotic relationship.
For this purpose, a book called "The Book of Traditions" was written, and a more magnificent lineage table was redesigned. According to this table, Taihao (Fuxi) is of course the first place, Chengmude, then Emperor Yan Chenghuode, Emperor Chengtude, after calculating it all the time, the Han should be Chenghuode.
Changing "virtue" involves the dignity of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and it took one hundred and two years to change from water virtue to soil virtue back then, this time of course, there is no need to believe the statement of "Han Ying Huode", so no one paid attention to this matter, but after a while, it was favored by Wang Mang.
After Wang Mang established the new dynasty, he immediately couldn't wait to announce that according to Liu Xin's doctrine of "five elements are born together", the Han family is a descendant of Yao and belongs to Huode, and he is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and belongs to Tude. Fire gives birth to earth, so it is reasonable and legal for his new dynasty to succeed the Han Dynasty, and he specially sent a Confucian named Zhang Han to explain to the hundred officials.
Originally, "Han Ying Huode" was only circulated among Confucian scholars, but after Wang Mang used this as an excuse to usurp the throne, this doctrine immediately became famous and known to everyone.
At that time, the people of the world hated Wang Mang very much, and all those who Wang Mang opposed were resolutely supported, and everything that Wang Mang destroyed must be restored. Wang Mang's "fire virtue" usurped by Tude was originally not recognized by the imperial court, but later Liu Xiu and other Zhongxing people recognized that the Han Dynasty should inherit the fire virtue, and no one mentioned Tude.
After Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty, the capital was Luoyang. This Luoyang's "Luo" word with the word water, and the fire virtue rush, unlucky, so Emperor Guangwu ordered to remove the word "water" and add the word "Jia", changed to Luoyang, and then "the suburbs are in the south of the city, the beginning is the fire virtue, and the color is still red". At this point, "Han Ji Huode" was finally recognized by the emperor and the court, and the court was red.
"Five virtues always say" started from Emperor Guangwu and evolved into two sets of algorithms: one is Zou Yan's Five Elements Mutual Restraint Method calculated from the Yellow Emperor; There is also the Five Elements Symbiosis Method developed by Liu Xin starting from Fuxi. These two sets of five virtue systems are parallel and have been passed down to later generations. However, the "five elements of mutual growth" method came from behind and gradually evolved into the mainstream.
According to the deduction of the "Five Elements Symbiosis Method", Yuan Taotu is a descendant of Da Shun, Shun is Tude, and the Yuan family is Tude, and fire gives birth to earth, which can just replace the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty. In other words, the Yuan family should establish a dynasty to replace the Liu family's Han dynasty. According to this speculation, coupled with the supplement of "Five Virtues Always Say", the Yuan family has definitely become the "Tu Gao" who should inherit the mandate of heaven to replace the Han Dynasty.
By the time of the first month of this year, this rumor had spread very widely, and the state and county officials in various places kept an unusual silence as if they had not heard it.
At present, the Yuan family has two great forces, one is Yuan Shao in Luoyang, and the other is Yuan Shu in Yangzhou.
Yuan Shao occupied most of Sili, most of Yuzhou and Nanyang in Jingzhou, and his power was very large, while Yuan Shu also occupied half of Yangzhou and a county in Xuzhou, and his strength was also not weak.
However, if the strength of the Yuan brothers is compared with the Hebei general Li Yi, there is still a certain gap. In the case that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the imperial court are in Jicheng, the Yuan brothers want to usurp the Han Dynasty and stand on their own, I am afraid that they are purely looking for death.
The rumors of Yuan's dynasty will not come out of nowhere, and the manipulator behind it is obviously Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has always refused to admit that he is the son of today, and he has always wanted to rebuild the imperial system, is his real purpose to usurp the Han? If he is determined to usurp the Han, then the officials of other states and counties will have to think carefully about the future.
Although Li Yi held the Son of Heaven hostage like Dong Zhuo, his strength far surpassed them. Li Yi has been operating in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, Jizhou has been stable for nearly four years under his governance, his strength will become stronger and stronger with the continuation of time, if Yuan Shao usurps the Han, he will become the first target of Hebei, when Li Yi and Yuan Shao are inseparable, what choice should other states and counties make?
………………
Yuan Shao did have other ideas at this time, but he did not immediately convene important subordinates in the mansion to discuss this matter, but first passed several henchmen such as Feng Ji, Geng Bao, Wang Qiu, Han Fan, and Liang Qi into the inner mansion.
Feng Ji looked very excited, and he said to Yuan Shao: "In the past year or so, those old ministers in Hebei have died one after another, not normal deaths, but Li Yi deliberately murdered them. And the purpose of getting rid of these old ministers is to control the Jicheng court, and Li Yi's intention to usurp Han and become self-reliant has been completely exposed. ”
Li Yi is so unscrupulous in holding the Son of Heaven hostage and excluding dissidents, and now whether it is within Hebei or the officials of various prefectures and counties, they all hate Li Yi to the core. All Li Yi needs now is to use that puppet emperor to stabilize Hebei, and then find an appropriate time for this puppet emperor to settle in him. ”
"Hebei is already facing danger, and now is the best opportunity for the lord to comply with the will of heaven and stand on behalf of the Han. Now the strength of the prefectures and counties is not Hebei's opponent, and if they want to survive, they must get the help of the lord. Feng Ji said with a smile, "As long as the lord is the emperor in Luoyang, these people will inevitably have to make a choice between Hebei and us." Li Yi hijacked the Son of Heaven, killed the minister, and committed a heinous crime, who would choose to believe him? ”
Yuan Shao did not respond positively, he praised Feng Ji and said: "After conquering Guanxi, you immediately spread the matter of Yuan's imminent Han dynasty in various places with the words of Wei Wei and Wude, which is very prescient. None of us thought that Li Yi would be so vicious that he would dare to defy the condemnation of the world and continuously eradicate dissidents and put the Son of Heaven under house arrest in just one year. Now that the majesty of the Han Dynasty has been lost, the remarks of the Yuan family on behalf of the Han have long been known, but is this time really ripe? Will Luoyang's civil and military officials agree with one voice? Will Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, and Sun Jian abandon the Han Dynasty and support the Yuan dynasty in favor of the Han dynasty? ”
Yuan Shao was worried that it would be self-defeating and the people would betray their relatives and leave, so that they would be completely defeated and lose all the hegemony they had just acquired.
Several people discussed it for a long time and decided to touch the situation in Luoyang first.
But what can be done to make this matter seem irrelevant to Yuan Shao?
Geng Bao volunteered and said: "Lord, I will write to persuade the lord to ascend the throne and become emperor, and see everyone's reaction." (To be continued.) )
