Chapter 124 Viewing the Lamp
"Actually, I think filial piety may be different from everyone." Wang Ju said.
"Let me tell me." Zhao Xu now has great trust in Wang Ju'er.
"Filial piety is not the first thing to do, but to be successful and do, so that elders can rest in peace and worry when they die."
“This makes sense.”
"Secondly, when the elders are alive, they must respect them. After all, they are dead. No matter how much paper money they burn, they are different from each other." The group said while going out.
The Lantern Festival is not only lively in Yu Street and Xiangguo Temple, but the entire streets and alleys are actually very lively. Almost every household has lanterns and decorations, and riddles on the lanterns have also begun. Some wealthy families have taken out some small gifts and rewards while showing riddles. Some tourists will give them rewards if they guess correctly.
"This makes sense..." Zhao Xu paused and asked, "Your mother..."
But it’s hard to continue talking about it. Wang Ju’s mother is sad.
However, Wang Ju answered very calmly: "So when I became a disciple, I mentioned the relationship between opposition and equality between the upper and lower levels. The king should be kind, the people should be loyal, parents should be kind, and children should be filial. But if the king does not do well, will he have to rebel? If his parents are not kind, would he have to be unfilial? He also has to be loyal and filial."
What should I do? That's all I can say.
In fact, parents have a love whether they are strict or spoiled.
However, there are indeed a few parents who do not do well, especially when there are many children at home or when the family is poor. There are often a few parents with bad tempers and very arbitrary attitude towards their children.
It will be very difficult for children who grow up in this situation to make them filial to their parents.
The same is true for the government, blindly promoting how to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, but the government regards the people as straw dogs, so how can the people love this country?
Why love is not love, but love, with a heart, only one heart, and the heart is in the right place, and it is not biased!
Therefore, Wang Ju doesn't understand. Other characters are abbreviated. After all, there are too many strokes in traditional Chinese characters. However, why should the word "Love" be omitted? Can you love without a heart? Or if you talk about it, you will have love?
"But my mother's situation is a bit special. She originally wanted to see us, but the Jiang family thought we were very poor and was afraid that her mother would take out the Jiang family's money to help us, so she refused to let her come. In this case, we can't go to the Jiang family to disturb her. Or if you pass the Jinshi exam in the future, go and see her. After all, she has the grace of giving birth to us."
Not to mention Li Ding, even Wang Ju doesn’t have a good impression of this mother, but what should I do? I can’t be Li Ding’s second, so I have to do it on the surface.
"It's great if you think this way," Zhao Xu said respectfully.
"Zhao Dalang praised it. There is also a kind of filial piety. It is necessary to keep filial piety and burn paper money. This is the honor to the deceased. But this is not filial piety. The greatest filial piety is to live happily so that the deceased can rest in the dark. If they have been sad and sad, what if they see it, how happy and not let the deceased be happy, how can they be called filial piety?"
"Wang Ju, you said so well," said Yaoer.
This principle may not be recognized by everyone. If the parents die and they still have to be happy as children, is that human being? But considering that he comforted Zhao Niannu, he can understand it.
"By the way, what do you think of the Jinshi of the North and South?" Zhao Xu asked.
"The country values culture over military affairs, and it is also the imperial examination. The southerners gradually gained power, which is inevitable. Using economics to employed people, and officials in the southern region are also inevitable. If the country restores some systems of the Han and Tang dynasties and gradually appoints officials with martial arts as a reference, officials in the northern region will also restore the proportion. This situation cannot be changed."
Speaking of this, he lowered his voice slightly, allowing Zhao Xu to hear it alone, and others could not hear it clearly: "The rich man is right. If he cannot follow Sima Gong's ideas, it will cause division between the north and the south. As a unified country, we must especially guard against regional gaps. After all, China has had a time of unification since ancient times, and it is also a history of division."
Zhao Xu nodded seriously.
As long as it splits, it means that the Song Dynasty may end.
"We must not only prevent regional gaps, but also ethnic groups. For example, when Emperor Taizong thought that as soon as the army was launched, the Han people in Yanyun returned to their hearts, and immediately took back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. However, Han Derang led the Han people in Youzhou to fight bloody battles. In the end, Youzhou was not taken down, resulting in the Gaoliang River defeat. But don't be angry. Since ancient times, the two countries have fought with each other as their masters. Although the Han people in Yanyun were Han people, it is reasonable for them to fight for the Liao country. Just like the Han people in Xixia, our dynasty should learn from the Liao country."
“How to learn?”
"Although the Liao Kingdom was a Khitan, it attached great importance to the Han people, so the Han people were more concerned, and the same was the case with the Xixia, and the Queen Mother Liang was a Han person. But she was from the Xixia and would not consider the Song Dynasty. But compared to the two countries, our Song Dynasty did not do a good job, and was afraid, guarded, and despised the people of the Qiang and Mandong people. Yes, the Anshi Rebellion broke out by An Lushan, the Hu people. But the black teeth were always there, Gao Xianzhi, the Goguryeo people (Goguryeo is not Goryeo). Geshuhan, the Western Turks, the Hu people, the Qiang people, the Qiang people, the Qiang people, the Kiwi people, the Tiel people, the Shinnsheer, the ** people, the Qu Tutong, the Kumoxi people, and the Yuchi Gong, Li Guangbi, and Li Siye, all of them are Hu people."
Zhao Xu looked serious, and the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Hu people accounted for almost a quarter, but it was a headache. As long as an An Lushan appeared, it might be in chaos.
"Even when our dynasty was founded, like Murong Yanzhao, Dangjin and Kang Yanze brothers were all Hu people, including the current Zhe family, and even Yang Ye could be considered half of the Qiang people. Of course, prevention is inevitable. On this point, we should learn from the Khitan, just moderately. We should not enter the power center or lead hundreds of thousands of troops. But don't overestimate it, especially our dynasty, who are very repulsive to the Qiang people and the Hu people. Even grassroots officials are rarely open to them, and even foreign marriages are rejected. How can they be willing to serve the Song Dynasty without mercy? Please be careful, whether it is Hu people, Qiang people, French people, or barbarians, they are the people of our Song Dynasty, so they must treat each other equally, and integration is the king."
If Wang Ju rashly proposed to reuse ethnic minorities, Zhao Xu would definitely reject it, but this was a little precaution, moderate appointment, and integration made Zhao Xu ponder.
"Zhao Dalang, these topics are too heavy, so why don't we guess riddles."
The group began to guess riddles, but many kings and giants did not guess it.
Zhao Niannu laughed and said, "It seems that there are many things you can't do."
"That's of course. There are all omnipotent people in this world. Don't talk about me, even a hero like Emperor Taizong of Tang is not good. Once Fang Du Weizheng left, his situation would be worse and worse in handling national affairs."
Zhao Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying that was for himself again.
But then again, even my few teachers could not help Wang Ju's reminder.
In fact, the three great masters of the Northern Song Dynasty, Renzong and Zhezong were neither foolish monarchs.
Although Zhao Xu did not have the control ability of Zhao Zhen and was impatient in his work, he looked at the Xining attack on Yongle City and pissed him to death.
But his enterprising spirit is still commendable and his self-control is relatively strong. If Wang Ju was replaced by a king, he would probably not be able to achieve the simple ability of the three of them. After all, this is the real right to be the top.
However, Zhao Xu's mistake was that he lacked good teachers. Even if Emperor Zhenzong of Song had a teacher Zhao Kuangyi and a mature scholar like Bi Shi'an. The same was true for Zhao Zhen. There were many famous ministers among his teachers, and Liu E was also a good teacher. What could Zhao Xu learn with his father? Or would he expect Wang Tao and others?
Moreover, Zhao Xu was too fast to take office, young and lacked experience, and encountered unprecedented financial holes, so he was eager to achieve success.
If Zhao Shu could do half of Zhao Zhen and then die a few years later, the Song Dynasty would have another situation.
But in short, Western Xia was the lucky dynasty, while Northern Song was a cursed dynasty.
In the continuous history, there was unprecedented internal governance. However, Zhao Da was not ready for the Northern Expedition and let Zhao Er kill him. Zhao Er was still good. Although some things were not done properly, they also loved the people and internal governance was even better. However, they encountered the Iron Triangle of Liao (Xiao Yanyan, Han Derang, Yelu Xiu Ge). Song Zhenzong was also ambitious when he took office, so the Xianping rule was found. However, a Hanyuan alliance began to become discouraged. Song Renzong did better, but disasters were repeated, internal and external troubles,
There is no son. Zhao Shu has no need to evaluate this meat-rolling knife. Apart from the matter of Pu Yi, he almost did nothing in politics, and it was difficult to evaluate his good or badness. Zhao Xu was even more determined, but he was too arrogant and had a weak life. Under the system of lack of legs, he wanted to destroy Xixia and how could he be invincible? So he was so angry. The death of Zhezong also thanked Gao Taotao and Cheng Yi. He was not allowed to see a doctor when he was sick, so he was weak and sick. He finally changed to a normal monarch, but he was a real monarch.
So Wang Ju also gave some advice appropriately.
It was just because of the two of them that they were not very detailed.
Just treat it as casually chatting, and I talked about something along the way.
But what Wang Ju didn't know was that in order to avoid suspicion, he spoke a lot, but he spoke implicitly and obscurely, and only said one thing. Strictly speaking, it is not a beginning, but a hint and hint.
So Zhao Xu went back to think deeply, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it.
He occasionally secretly ran to Wang Ju for one or two times and was not a big deal, but he couldn't run to Wang Ju every day.
He also had some misunderstandings, thinking that it was really not easy for Wang Ju to come up with so many things, but it was just that. After all, he was born in a poor family and was also young. Without Wang Ju's deep words, he did not ask in depth, for fear that Wang Ju would be embarrassed or be possessed, which would affect the imperial examination.
So I asked Wang Tao, but Wang Tao’s three teachers were embarrassed and couldn’t answer, so I could only pay homage to Wang Ying’s talent...
Isn’t this perfunctory? So Zhao Xu became embarrassed too.
