The system adopted by a country determines the future fate of that country.

When Liu Qi laughed mysteriously, Liu Xing's heart was very clear about what kind of changes his choice would bring to the Great Song Dynasty. And this kind of change may not only affect the new Wutai court, which has already returned half of the Song dynasty, but also affect the entire world and even more distant places in a few years......

What the future holds, Liu Xing doesn't dare to think about it now, and he doesn't want to think about it more.

Because the things in the future can only be done in the future, what Liu Xing wants to do well at the moment is first of all to let himself, a half-brother, help him firmly control the power of this new court.

So when Liu Qi's smile gradually dissipated, Liu Xing took the third document out of his sleeve and handed it to him.

"The country is governed by law, the country is Confucianism, the country is defended by soldiers, the country is rejuvenated by ink, the country is protected by Buddhism, the country is strengthened by martial arts, the country is strengthened by agriculture, and the four seas are determined by vertical and horizontal." When Liu Qi took over the third document, Liu Xing's mouth first popped out of such a string of words.

Immediately after opening the document with Liu Qi's face in shock, Liu Xing continued: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of thought contended. Among the hundreds of schools, each has its own strengths. Since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been the key point for the court to rise and endure. So this time, I not only want to take away the rights that belong to me and the emperor, but I also want to take away the exclusive power of Confucianism. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qi stopped watching, raised his head and exclaimed, "Huh? You, are you saying that you want to break the monopoly of Confucianism since the Han Dynasty and re-set off the scene of a hundred schools of thought contending in the world of this new dynasty? You, aren't you afraid of being opposed by all the ladies in the world, and there will be a lot of strong opponents? ”

Liu Qi's exclamation showed that Liu Xing had already thought of a complete set of countermeasures when he thought about ending the national policy of exclusive respect for Confucianism, which had not changed for thousands of years.

So when Liu Qi's voice fell, Liu Xing immediately showed a cold smile and said: "Confucianism is the only one, and how many doctrines actually belong to the sages Confucius and Mencius?" Brother Jiu, you are also a person who reads poetry and books, and you must have seen the source law of the soldier Menon and even the Zongheng family more than once from those so-called Confucian classics, right? ”

The military master strategy and strategy, and there are also many sages in the Confucian classics who advocate "going forward and succeeding, and then dying" for the country. Advocate for strategy and strategy.

The Mohists advocated both love and non-attack, and the use of Ming ghosts and Tianzhi. Liu Qi has also seen these ideas more than once in many Confucian classics.

Legalists emphasize that "do not be close to each other, do not alienate the noble and lowly, and break off the law", such as Wang Anshi in the Three Kingdoms Zhuge and Yuan You. Which one is not a Confucian classic to read by heart. But in many of their styles and practices, aren't they exactly the same as those of other people's legalists?

As for the Zongheng family, who were submerged in history early, including Ma Kuo, who had already served as the counselor of the Heavenly Council and the governor of the Imperial Court of the new cabinet of the Northern Dynasty at this time. Over the ages, countless Confucian scholars have actually adopted the main strategies and methods when dealing with foreign affairs for various dynasties and generations. Isn't it essentially from the Zongheng family?

These are "inclusive" and integrated into their own homes by Confucianism, but in fact they are more like plagiarized doctrines and catechisms of other schools of thought that have been incorporated into Confucian classics. Liu Qi, who has read books for more than 20 years, has naturally felt it for a long time.

However, Liu Qi is not Liu Xing after all, he is not a flying immortal from the sky from the era of a thousand years later.

Although I know from the bottom of my heart that many of the Confucian classics are actually plagiarized from the doctrines and catechetics of other schools that have been submerged in the long river of history after the exclusive Confucian religion, it has formed this extremely comprehensive and powerful first school of thought.

But in his heart, he was still worried that the world's scholars would be dissatisfied with Liu Xing's desire to terminate Confucianism, and it would be difficult for this new dynasty to be overthrown without waiting for stability like Wang Mang's new dynasty in the past.

So after a very short period of contemplation, when Liu Qi looked up at Liu Xing again, he said: "If you bluntly say that you depose the exclusive respect of Confucianism, I absolutely do not agree. But Thirteen Lang. I have come up with a way to make your idea of reproducing a hundred schools of thought not resist by readers, and then slowly move forward and finally come true. ”

In fact, Liu Xing wanted to depose the exclusive respect of Confucianism, and there were some reasons because there were too many hypocritical and false things in Confucianism that led scholars astray.

In addition, there was also a later occurrence of the Baguwen that imprisoned people's thoughts and turned Confucianism into the emperor's biggest tool for playing with the world, so that Liu Xing really studied many Confucian classics with a scrutiny and even a picky perspective in his previous life and in this life, and formed the current idea.

But if it is really directly ordered not to let Confucianism be exalted, now nine out of ten scholars in the world are worshipping Confucius as a grandmaster. It's hard not to be opposed.

The reason why he told Liu Qi this idea was that Liu Xing also wanted to find some ways to maneuver from this person who was related by blood and was the only person he could really trust to the greatest extent at present.

Now I heard that Liu Qi took the initiative to offer advice. Liu Xing immediately smiled happily: "I asked Brother Jiu to look at the documents, just hoping to find some compromise methods from you that will not arouse the opposition of the scholars and can make the hundred schools of thought reappear." ”

"From the country of Zijian, Taixue, the subjects of military development, law, Taoism, ink, martial arts, agriculture and vertical and horizontal studies. From top to bottom, all the way to the school of the state capital and the county and township school. The first subject is divided into disciplines, then it is divided, and the quantity is determined. Thirteen Lang, can I help you with this method? Liu Qi was not ambiguous at all, and directly revealed his thoughts and dishes and threw them to Liu Xing.

Although what he said was crepe and very sour, Liu Xing, who had also read "ancient books" for more than ten years in this era, immediately understood what he meant.

At present, there are seven classified disciplines in the branches of Guozijian and Tai Academy. It is equivalent to telling the world's readers: From now on, the new dynasty will not only ask you to read Confucius and Mencius, but also master the knowledge of the art of war, Mo Wunong and Zonghengjia.

And then? In the gradual downward promotion, on the surface, the face system that did not immediately allow Confucianism to be monolithic for thousands of years was quickly destroyed. But after a long time, it will naturally split the Confucian forces.

Taking advantage of the differences in the students' respective strengths, they are cultivated separately from an early age, and finally it becomes a self-division of the students in the form of infighting......

"Brother Jiu is really wise!"

Understanding Liu Qi's long-term intentions for this strategy, Liu Xing couldn't help but smile in admiration: "It seems that the big tiger still needs a brother!" I thought that if Brother Jiu knew that I wanted to make Confucianism unable to continue to be exclusive, he would be the first to oppose me! I didn't expect, I didn't expect you to help me untie such a dead knot that had plagued me for many days. ”

"You and my own brother, no matter how good you do. For the sake of my Liu family and our family affection, I can only help you. Liu Qi first said something a little stunned.

Then his face darkened, and he said with a little sadness: "Who made you not be at home for more than ten years, and I can't fulfill my responsibility as a brother?" The eldest brother is like a father, and the eight brothers died early, and I can be regarded as your eldest brother. The eldest brother is like a father, and there is a way to raise a godfather's fault, which is my responsibility, and I should help make up for your lack at such a time. ”

Hearing Liu Qi mention family matters again, Liu Xing didn't want to be brought back to the old hatred, so he immediately started the topic: "I'll talk about family matters in my spare time in the future, I still have one more matter, I want you to help me decide it." ”

"What?"

"Wu Jue dedicated Xishu alone, and half of the Western Xinjiang is his credit."

Liu Xing saw that Brother Jiu also quickly pulled out his thoughts from family affairs, and immediately said: "Wu Jue can be called the biggest hero of our court this time, how to reward him and appoint him, but I haven't come up with a proper way for two days." ”

How much credit Wu Jue has, Liu Xing knows in his heart, and Liu Qi also knows very well.

Half of the country, a leader of the Shangqing faction gave it to Liu Xing in this way. If this is changed to the previous dynasties, whether it is the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, or the Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, I am afraid that they will immediately give a person like Wu Jue the title of king and worship the prime minister, or even directly split the soil and divide the seal.

But at this time, in this new dynasty, even Liu Xing himself did not have a title, let alone split the territory and seal the territory. If you directly pay homage to Wu Jue as the king, I am afraid that it will only attract more criticism from the world, and if you don't do it well, it will cause a big mess.

After all, Liu Qi is older than Liu Xing, and he has much more practical experience in officialdom and on the battlefield.

After listening to Liu Xing's words, he lowered his head and frowned and thought hard about the time of tea.

Finally, when he looked up at Liu Xing again, he said: "Although Wu Jue's merits are great, he is not a person who is greedy for merit and reward, he only persuaded Xishu to return by virtue of his heart and loyalty." If you ask me to help you get an idea, then I feel that you can ask Your Majesty to issue a holy decree to grant Wu Jue an iron coupon first, and then confer on him a knighthood. Then grant the right to war, and let him know that you have no intention of defending him. ”

After listening to Liu Qi's suggestion, Liu Xing secretly calculated in his heart: Title, that's just a name. At most, that is, to give that title an equal amount every year. Anyway, since the Tang Dynasty, there haven't been many fiefs that have happened immediately, and I'm not afraid that Wu Jue will be dissatisfied.

Iron coupons are granted, and future generations are protected from death. This is not good, because of this master's own privilege. However, the iron coupons were not awarded, and Wu Jue, who was now likely to have taken over most of the military power in the entire Shu region and Western Xinjiang, could completely rest assured of himself.

The iron coupon can't be granted, and the iron coupon is granted to him, how can the law that the master wants to get out in the future ensure the authority? In case he Wu Jue really has a heart against me in the future, will I kill him or not?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing's head suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and an idea popped out to make Liu Xing smile.

When he looked up at Liu Qi again, Liu Xing made a decision: "Iron coupons cannot be given lightly, but he can be given silver knives or silver spears." My golden sword is to behead the king and punish the minister, and his silver knife or silver spear can give the right to cut the civil and military officials below the second rank first. As for the title, I can ask the emperor to immediately crown him as the founding uncle of the 700 food estates, what do you think? (To be continued.) )
