Chapter 232: Mother and Son Narrative
And this kind of health common sense, which has been popularized in later generations, cannot be explained to the Empress Dowager Liu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf Lu Chengqi disregarded the secular views of this era and rashly told Liu about these common sense of hygiene, I am afraid that Liu would be regarded as a monster. Is there any emperor who has nothing to do to study these things, and even "understands" women better than women?
Hearing the urgency of Liu's "birth", Lu Chengqi was very unimpressed. There is still a long time ahead, so why rush?
But this kind of words can't be said out of his mouth, so he can only nod his head submissively, and the sound should be yes. The Empress Dowager Liu has stayed in the palace for so long, who hasn't seen it? The ability to observe and read colors is by no means under some old foxes in officialdom. Seeing that Lu Chengqi was so perfunctory, he knew that the little emperor in front of him would not listen to a word. sighed in his heart: "After all, it's not biological, and speaking has no weight!" ”
In fact, the Empress Dowager Zunci is also a bit judging people by her appearance, Lu Chengqi is not unable to listen to it, but he just listens to it and disagrees. However, through these few words, Lu Chengqi felt that this cheap father's concubine was really a little bit really good for him.
Earlier, Zhou Zhiruo said that the Empress Dowager and his biological mother Empress Dowager Zhang Xian were very good, Lu Chengqi was still skeptical. Even if he hadn't watched many palace fighting TV dramas, he naturally thought that the battle for the harem of this palace would be very fierce. Who would have thought that not only is there no struggle, but even there is little daily bickering. "It's not scientific!" , Lu Chengqi shouted in his heart, "This Empress Dowager Ci cares so much about my Zi Zhu, don't you have any intentions, right?" But there is no reason, the incense of the Lu family is generally not very vigorous, and the five generations in a row are single transmissions, and there is no need to fight for the throne, is it possible that this Empress Dowager Ci wants to emulate Wu Zetian? It's impossible, this is not the Tang Dynasty with an open atmosphere, Wu Zetian will not appear......"
Lu Chengqi is so sure because at the beginning of the Dashun Dynasty, he laid the tone of literati governance. What do literati rely on? Naturally, it is Confucianism, with three outlines and five constants.
It has been a hundred years since the founding of the dynasty, and the three outlines and five constants have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of readers. Not to mention the Liu family from a scholarly family, no matter how bold she is, she doesn't dare to go beyond these rules that are scolded by the world.
According to Confucianism, the reason why the emperor reused it, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, was just for the word "harmony", and according to what Confucius said, it was "benevolence" and "propriety". To further explain it is to teach everyone that harmony is precious, and that everyone cultivates themselves to the point of harmony with themselves, with others, and with heaven and earth. When everything is harmonious, the society will be stable. When society is stable, won't the emperor's rule last forever!
Why was Confucianism able to unify the ideology of the Central Plains Dynasty? The roots are here! The rest of the celestial induction, the divine right of the monarch, etc., are all add-ons, the emperors of the past dynasties will not be so mentally retarded, and even believe in things that they don't believe in, and they also expect the ministers below to be smarter than him will believe it. Lies can deceive people for a while, but they cannot deceive the people for hundreds of years.
It is because Liu understands these three outlines and five constants that he does not dare to have any big rebellious ideas. On the contrary, she herself is very considerate of Dashun. She grows wheat and silkworms, is it just for the sake of fame? Wrong! Her ideological realm is higher than anyone else's, the so-called marriage and husband, husband and son. married into the Lu family, and her mind had long been on the Lu family. Everything I thought in my heart was for the Lu family. As the noble queen mother, she set an example and persuaded farmers to teach mulberry. If you let the people of Dashun know, where don't you praise the Empress Dowager for being a generation of virtuous queens? Even the queen mother has cultivated the fields and raised silkworms, what reason do they have not to do it well?
The Liu family also had a delicate heart, knowing that Lu Chengqi was the king of a country after all. If the criticism is too much, I am afraid that it will not look good on the face. He's not small anymore, and with a little bit of truth, he should understand. Thinking of this, Liu changed the topic and said: "The most comforting thing about the old body is that Wu'er understands the hard work of the old body. ”
Lu Chengqi was confused when he heard it, and looked at Liu's face that was preserved as if he was in his thirties, and he didn't know what she meant.
I only heard Liu continue: "Wu'er has understood that business has always been a castle in the water, beautiful but not practical. Only with food in their hands can the people live and work in peace and contentment......"
Lu Chengqi couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't pay attention to agriculture, nor did he abandon business, both of which are indispensable. Agriculture is the foundation of commerce, and commerce is the lubricant that improves the quality of life of the people. The two complement each other, and without which one is missing, Dashun is walking on one leg.
But Liu's thinking is a typical small-scale peasant thought, where is he willing to listen to Lu Chengqi's policy of governance? In this era, the misunderstanding of businessmen is too deep. The people of Dashun all think that businessmen are mercenary, do not pay attention to morality, and collude between officials and businessmen...... The emperor was also afraid of the wealth of merchants, and ordered that commerce should be curbed, and merchants should not be allowed to have too high a status.
In fact, the title of merchant comes from the Zhou Dynasty, during the Zhou Dynasty, the remnants of the Yin Shang were called merchants, and they were not allowed to own land and real estate, they could only engage in trafficking and trading to make a living, and live a life without a fixed residence. Slowly, people who buy and sell are called merchants. Merchants are misunderstood, and I am afraid that this is where they begin.
And because in ancient times, most of the farmers were self-sufficient, and there was not much demand for goods. In fact, this is also related to the fact that the ancients did not have a good way to manage merchants, which is the limitation of vision. Because of choking, he wasted food, and abandoned his martial arts. Lu Chengqi once imagined that if ancient China had not suppressed commerce, I am afraid that the Central Plains civilization would have been the king and hegemon in the world long ago, right?
Liu didn't know what Lu Chengqi was thinking at this moment, and he vigorously praised Lu Chengqi's "correct practice" in encouraging agriculture, and vigorously devalued Lu Chengqi's "advocacy" of business to the point of uselessness.
The person in front of him is his nominal mother, and he can't say some cruel words. Since ancient times, only mothers teach their children, where is the turn of sons to teach their mothers? Lu Chengqi, who gradually substituted into the thinking of the ancients, did not open his mouth to refute, but nodded silently.
The mother and son talked for a while before they stopped. At the end, Liu said: "The old body is old, and the energy is not as good as before. My country's affairs are important, so let's go back! ”
Lu Chengqi listened to the "Tang monk chanting" for an afternoon, and his ears were almost calloused. Adhering to filial piety, I just listened to Liu's nagging. Out of the inner hall, Lu Chengqi didn't dare to stay even a step. The woman nagging, and it's really scary.
When I had to walk to the outer hall of Gyeongbok Palace, I saw Zhou Zhiruo learning to spin and weave with the palace maid seriously. Seeing this scene, Lu Chengqi was a little funny. Zhou Zhiruo, who was born in a scholarly family, where did she do all this heavy work? clumsy, partial and very serious, this contrast makes Lu Chengqi want to laugh. (To be continued.) )
