Wei Yan accepted gifts, was this behavior intentional or unintentional?
This is indeed a problem.
Wei Yan himself has good abilities, but he must have some flaws in his character, otherwise Liu Bei would not have chosen Wei Yan to be the governor of Hanzhong, because Liu Bei knew that Wei Yan must be capable, but he must also be a lonely minister, whether it is Sichuan, Shu or Jingzhou
, that side will not tolerate him, and he will not form a clique with anyone...
But what is certain is that Wei Yan himself is not a stupid person, so when Wei Yan behaves like this, even though Fei Qian dealt with it before, it does not mean that there will be no follow-up.
Generally speaking, as a superior, what kind of subordinates do you like?
First of all, you must be able to do things. No one will like someone who just eats and doesn't move. So on the premise that you can do things, of course you should choose something that you can control...
This is also human nature.
Therefore, from this perspective, Wei Yan's behavior is quite meant to hand over the handle to Fei Qian. After all, if he really wants to collect property, why should he be so eager and unabashed?
"It's not easy to make a decision at the moment..." Xu Shu pondered for a moment, nodded, and said slowly, "I will pay attention to this matter..."
Fei Qian also nodded. He specifically told Xu Shu about this matter because Xu Shu and Wei Yan would be cooperating with each other for a long period of time, and they had to have a base on this matter.
If Wei Yan was unintentional, it would be relatively simple. Unless Fei Qian does not use Wei Yan, it means that Wei Yan has a weakness in this aspect, which requires not only Wei Yan himself but also Xu Shu to pay attention to.
On the other hand, if Wei Yan was intentional, it means that Wei Yan was trying to hide something, perhaps his ambition, perhaps something he had done before, or something else, which also required Xu Shu's attention.
If Wei Yan really committed suicide, it would undoubtedly be the best excuse a leading general could hand over. After all, Wei Yan was still young and was in charge of most of the soldiers in central Sichuan, but in doing so, Wei Yan also showed that he had no
The mentality of security also needs Xu Shu to pay attention to.
But no matter which one it is, Wei Yan's behavior needs to be followed up to make a judgment, and Xu Shu needs to pay attention to it.
In this way, with Wei Yan paying attention to Sichuan and Shu from the front row, and Xu Shu watching Wei Yan from behind, and with some additional arrangements, Sichuan and Shu can generally ensure stability and rest assured.
Fei Qian nodded and said: "As soon as the winter is over, we will transfer the maidservants from Guanzhong in the east of Hedong to Sichuan, and choose them from good families in the army to fill the place... As for the girls from Sichuan and Shu, they will be sent to Guanzhong...
"
Xu Shu said to note it down.
After exchanging each other in this way, the original connection between them is basically severed, which naturally greatly reduces some possible problems.
Compared with Wei Yan's personal problems, what is more prominent among Sichuan and Shu now is how to reduce the power of the Sichuan and Shu gentry and carry out changes in the overall political system without affecting the overall situation.
If you want to change, you must know which direction to improve, and you must also know where the key stage nodes are.
Unlike Guanzhong, Sichuan and Shu have not suffered much damage in recent years. Therefore, at the local level, the power of large families in Sichuan and Shu is still very strong. This power will lurk when Fei Qian's army is stationed, and wait until Fei Qian is stationed.
Qian left with his army, and then he would pop up from his hole like a groundhog.
This is a normal operation for nobles to use their surnames, and it has been done for two to three hundred years.
It can be said that throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the lack of power to check and balance the noble families, the emperor had to support relatives and eunuchs, and even launched party struggles, but still did not achieve good results. This situation continued into the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and many emperors also passed
They live like idiots, not because they don't want to, but because they have to.
Of course, this does not mean that aristocratic noble families are bad. At least in terms of cultural inheritance, aristocratic noble families have indeed made great contributions, although their original intention is to monopolize knowledge.
General Fei Qian's current strategy is to change this situation. If you want to suppress these noble families, it is not enough to rely on one-sided force. You must take a multi-pronged approach to make it difficult for these noble families to take care of both...
If it's just the suppression of position, for these nobles, unless they have the opportunity to rule the court, it doesn't matter who rules the world. They need to control the place anyway. This situation is a bit like scalpers.
The community specializes in absorbing the extra income generated when supply exceeds demand.
Of course, some people will think that it’s not a big deal. It’s just killing anyway. Just wave the sword and feel good. But in fact, the original intention of restrictions and checks and balances is to control individuals and to control the concept of “family, country and world”.
Standardize rather than eliminate entire classes.
Although broken, it can be rebuilt, but the cost of breaking is huge, which will lead to huge losses in culture, technology, ideas, etc., and every time this kind of destruction brings back huge losses in culture, technology, ideas, etc.
The loss is the greatest pain for the entire Chinese civilization.
Therefore, the system that Fei Qian is now promoting is not to break, but to change. Change is like treating a disease, rather than directly killing or burying the patient alive.
No matter what political system it is, as long as it has classes, it must have its vested interests, and the existence of these vested interests will often destroy the original system due to their personal desires, eventually causing the system to collapse. This kind of thing is difficult to do
Avoid, just like cancer cells inside the human body, they appear all the time. Once the immune system misses one and a half, they will develop. But among these cancer cells, there is a very interesting part...
"Qiao family..." Fei Qian pondered for a moment and whispered the last question, "In Sichuan and Sichuan, Jinwen Classics is extremely prosperous... It is inseparable from Dong Qiao and the two, and we need to find its flaws to disrupt the foundation.
Only then can you be safe for a long time..."
Xu Shu nodded slowly, his face serious.
"For example, he is like a painter who hates pictures of dogs and horses, but likes to create ghosts and ghosts. He is sincere and can't describe the reality, but his hypocrisy is endless. It is better to collect pictures and prophecies and ban them once, then the nobles will not be dazzled and the classics will be flawless." Fei Qian murmured.
He muttered for a while, then shook his head and said, "The policy of confinement is like blocking the river. Although the intention is good, it is not advisable..."
Xu Shu was silent, sighed slightly, and remained silent for a long time. This matter is really a big problem.
The sentence quoted by Fei Qian was said by Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In most people's impression, Zhang Heng seemed to be a man of science and engineering who worked on machinery, and then he immersed himself in making something like an armillary sphere, but many people didn't know it at all.
, In fact, Zhang Heng not only had achievements in mechanics, but was also good in literature. For example, "Er Jing Fu" and "Si Xuan Fu" are his representative works. There are also some essays that criticize the current shortcomings, and "Please Forbidden to Prophecy" is one of them.
One of them is famous all over the world.
Zhang Heng believes that the eighty-one prophecy illustrated books are the source of disaster for the country and should be completely banned. Of course, as soon as this statement is made, it is like poking a hornet's nest, and there are eighty-one hornet's nests.
"Seven Jingwei", "The Analects of Confucius", "Hetu", "Luoshu", etc. are collectively called "Prophecy", with a total of eighty-one chapters. Prophecy is the prophecy of God, and prophecy is a kind of book that predicts good and bad luck.
For example, it is like Heluo, and Wei is a tributary of the classics, which is derived from its side meanings. The Wei Shu is based on the classics and is a combination of theological superstition, yin and yang and the five elements theory and the classics.
The founder of the study of prophecy is naturally the famous Dong Zhongshu.
Is it telepathy between heaven and man? How can it be done without a sense of mystery?
Subsequently, in "White Tiger Tongyi", the status of Chenwei was fully established, allowing Chenwei to be quickly integrated with modern and ancient classics. Moreover, when quoting classics, whenever there are both warps and latitudes, Chenwei is usually cited first, and then
Quoting scriptures and prophecies have become the source of determining state affairs. All differences in scriptures, even the country's ritual and music system, and conquests and wars, must be decided by prophecies, which determine all disputes and indecisions.
The prophecy is revered as the secret scripture, the secret scripture of Confucius. It was made by Han Chi and was called Neixue. It is the inner teaching of Confucius. It is the essence of Confucianism and has authentic authority. Emperor Guangwu even used it as a prophecy.
Announced to the world, under his strong advocacy, many Confucian scholars rushed to follow, talked about the latitude and longitude, and made false predictions. The so-called "study of Confucius's Seven Classics", "He Tu", and "Luo Shu", internal and external art, are endless.
"Comprehensive", this became a common trend and characteristic of the Han Dynasty gentry, especially the modern classics scholars. It is like that for a certain period of time in later generations, products without foreign names felt like rubbish, and they were embarrassed to talk to others.
greet.
For a time, the study of prophecy was at its peak and flourished to this day.
At the beginning, the Confucianists were very happy with the weapon Zhenwei. It was like cheating. They defeated the Legalists, killed Huang Lao, wiped out the Alchemists and Mohists, and even wore mysterious robes. Anyway,
There is a plan for everything, and with the right of final interpretation in hand, the world can run amok.
The most fundamental reason why Fei Qian could use some auspiciousness to seek benefits again and again before is this. Even though many people know what this bullshit auspiciousness is, they still pinch their noses haha
It’s easy to recognize it, because at present, Chenwei still occupies a large level of mainstream consciousness.
The attitude towards Zhawei and the level of mastering the science of prophecy have long been an indicator for the children of the Han gentry, and this indicator can even affect their position in the imperial court.
Jinwen Jingxue and Chenwei have almost been merged into one, and all the masters of Jinwen Jingxue are all masters of Zhewei. However, because ancient text Jingxue focuses on the exegesis of chapters and sentences and interprets classics and history, it essentially excludes Chenwei, so it has always been favored by modernist scholars.
vehemently criticized and belittled.
At the same time, it needs to be emphasized that it is not that modern texts are bad or ancient texts are good. The opposite is also true. It is just that due to the development of the times, needs have changed.
In the earliest days, there were only classical classics, which were obscure and difficult to understand, and even lacked texts due to inheritance. Therefore, if Confucianism wanted to strengthen itself and overthrow its competitors, it not only secretly took out some things from other people's pockets but also contained them.
He also made up many things, of which Chenwei is a typical representative.
When the overall cultural level was not high at that time, Jinwen Jingxue, which was relatively more popular and easy to understand, became the standard for managing civil affairs in the Han Dynasty. For example, "Yu Gong" was used to manage rivers, and "Hong Fan" was used to observe knowledge.
Natural changes, using "Spring and Autumn" to judge cases, using "Poetry" as admonitions, etc. In the early stage of Jinwen Classics, it had a huge role in promoting not only the Han Dynasty, but even the development of the entire Chinese civilization.
Ancient Chinese classics are far from being able to do this.
However, with the development of time, Jinwen Jingxue based on prophecies began to deform. Whenever there was a disaster or war, the emperor and ministers did not first consider how to solve the crisis and protect the country and the people, but instead deceived the people with prophecies.
Deceiving oneself and others eventually leads to the intensification of chaos and the decline of the country. In the army, whenever there is a war, instead of preparing and preparing for the war, they first use prophecies and prophecies to predict the outcome. The results are naturally predictable.
"In addition, Guangwu thrived on prophecy..." Fei Qian shook his head and continued, "The river map is full of red talismans, competing for deer in the world, so even if the capital is moved to Luoyang and a school is built, prophecy will not be eliminated..."
Xu Shu nodded and said: "Guangwu's eighty-one plan is also a helpless move... Little did we know that if this happens, the world will be in chaos and prophecies will inevitably arise..."
After Emperor Guangwu unified the world, he learned from the painful experience and immediately announced the prophecy to the world, and officially published the eighty-one chapters of the prophecy as the final version. On the one hand, this maintained the dignity of Chen Wei and improved the supreme status of Chen Wei in the Han Dynasty. On the other hand, it was also to prevent the conspiracy of treacherous people.
Recreating the prophecies will bring disaster to the country and even threaten the stability of the society.
However, there are no eggs.
For example, in the recent Yellow Turban Rebellion, the slogan that resounded all over the world was actually a made-up prophecy. There were also "those who replaced the Han Dynasty" who brought countless people to the ditch.
Therefore, Fei Qian had to be on guard.
Especially in Sichuan and Shu at present, there are many people like Qiao Bing who use prophecy as a guise. At present, Fei Qian is strong and has soldiers and horses under the city. Naturally, Fei Qian is honest and honest. But if Fei Qian leaves Sichuan and Shu, plus
The front line is tight and so on, and then these guys come up with some kind of prophecy, which is not fun.
The crude and general method is of course like Qin Shihuang's, arresting and killing each one, and it will naturally stop for a while, but in fact this will not solve many problems, and may even cause more conflicts.
"Qingyangsi will be ready in March..." Fei Qian knocked on the table gently, showed a smile, and said: "I plan to build a new prophecy palace on the side of Qingyangsi, erect eighty-one pictures, and collect
The Qiao family offered wine to his palace and established a school of prophecy..."
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and said, "My lord, this is a wonderful plan! I'll leave this matter to someone!"
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Three days later, some disciples from Sichuan and Sichuan came to Shu, saying that Guangwu 81 Internal Medicine has been passed down to this day, and there were many corrections. He implored General Zhengxi to correct the chaos and correct it, which immediately aroused discussion among the disciples in central Sichuan.
Anyway, it was just before the New Year, and most people were at the stage of doing nothing at home, so this news spread very quickly. In addition, the original prophecy atmosphere in Sichuan and Shu was very strong, so more and more people joined in.
During the course of such a debate, together with the large iron mine, they became the two biggest and most lively events in Sichuan at the end of the fourth year of Yanping's reign.
