Just like Feizhen knew that his father had some questions that were not simple questions.
"Doctor?" Fei Zhen repeated softly, and then started to think, "Father, what you mean is not just about his official position?"
Fei Qian burst out laughing. Has this guy learned the elimination method? So he said, "Think about it first, and then think about it."
Fei Qian is indeed not just talking about official positions.
It's about a class.
Fei Qian had proposed the concept of class before, but Fei Zhen was not able to fully understand it. After all, at Fei Zhen's current age, he was unable to form an effective understanding of this very abstract concept, which required Fei Qian to continue
Give examples and then deepen your understanding step by step.
"As the ceremony goes, the emperor has three princes, nine ministers, twenty-seven great officers, and eighty-one noble men. So this great minister..." Fei Zhen looked at Fei Qian and said, "Father's intention is that the prince assists the left, and the nobles are the ones who are here."
When the King of Qin sends out troops, he should watch the Jin Kingdom externally and watch the officials internally?"
"Haha, that's right." Fei Qian nodded and said, "So Shen Baoxu is crying outside, what is King Qin doing inside? Is he playing?"
Feizhen shook her head and said, then suddenly she seemed to think of something, clapped her hands, and said excitedly, "It must be a discussion with the doctor... Oh, father is saying that the doctors in the Qin Kingdom have different opinions?!
The King of Qin not only has to consider foreign affairs, but also needs to consider the people at home! Yes! It has been like this for thousands of years! If there are enemies abroad, there are also enemies at home! Those who cannot be defended from within cannot be defended from the outside! The restlessness of Chu State,
You can’t control it from within! The defeat of the Wu Kingdom cannot be controlled from within! If you achieve great things, you can control it from inside and outside!"
Feizhen shook her head with some pride~(????ω???)?.
Fei Qian laughed and gave Fei Zhen a thumbs up to express his praise.
The father and son laughed heartily for a while.
"Okay..." Fei Qian knocked on the table and stopped laughing, "Shen Baoxu, cry Qin Ting... Where is the King of Qin, singing Wu Yi... So why did King Qin sing Wu Yi? He also took the clothes.
Is it for Shen Baoxu to wear? Is Shen Baoxu missing this one piece of clothing? Haha... So look, the reason why Qin was able to unify was not without reason..."
"Then, who will be the generals of King Qin's army?" Fei Qian asked, and then after seeing Fei Zhen's confused expression, he said, "Two generals, Zi Pu and Zi Hu."
"..." Feizhen's eyes were a little confused, and she obviously had no impression of these two people.
"Perhaps during the reign of the King of Qin, these two were considered generals..." Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "However, looking at Zuo Zhuan, the two of them only went out for the commander-in-chief once..."
Five hundred times.
If it is a small number, although Chu State was known as a million people at that time, it only had a thousand chariots, so Qin State supported 500 chariots, which was not too small. Of course, perhaps because Chu State was not in the Central Plains, the vehicles were not as useful as boats.
, it is also possible that the proportion of vehicles to passengers is relatively small.
If you say too much, well, it really can’t be considered too much. After all, compared with the data of the wars in the late Warring States period, 500 is barely even considered a partial army. And according to the urine of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or in other words, the ancestors of China have always
Habit, these five hundred times are probably all false references, just like Sun Shiwan always uses one hundred thousand...
Someone in Jiangdong felt a fever in his ears.
What's even more interesting is that these two "generals" rushed to the front with great momentum, and then when they were about to fight for the first time, they openly stated that they had no experience fighting the Wu army and let the Chu soldiers go first...
Shen Baoxu could only stare and say okay, I, the State of Chu, will go first.
Then when Chu and Wu were fighting together, Qin came out and Wu was shocked. He didn't know the surrounding situation or how many troops Qin had sent, so he immediately withdrew his troops cautiously, and was soon pursued by Qin and Chu.
Kill, defeat.
This is also normal.
What is abnormal is that when Qin first said that it had no experience fighting Wu, and then won the battle, it did not immediately pursue the victory. Instead, it immediately changed the subject and said that Wu was nothing more than this and Chu would definitely win!
So let’s go fight against the Tang Dynasty...
Of course, the reasons are very good. For example, after marching, Tang Guo on the flanks may cause harassment to the military line, damage food routes, etc., but in reality?
Fei Zhen scratched his head a little. He was not very clear about these military things, so it was difficult for him to understand the questions raised by Fei Qian.
"Let's put it this way, there is a fire in someone's house and it is raging. They come to you for help, saying that they want you to help put out the fire..." Fei Qian gave a relatively simple example, "Then you also went and mentioned it.
He put out the fire in his courtyard with water, and then said that the fire can definitely be put out, so let's go somewhere else to play for a while..."
The Tang State, said to be a country, is actually just a city. Although the Tang State is indeed on the flank, its country is too small. If it really saw the coalition forces, it would not even dare to let out another fart, and would dare to come out to harass
The rear of the coalition forces, the chrysanthemum that invades the coalition forces?
"So... what your father means is that Generals Zi Pu and Zi Hu have slacked off? Or... the State of Qin actually doesn't want to save the State of Chu?" Feizhen thought, and then raised her eyebrows.
,"Or should we say...it's a double act?"
Fei Qian waved his hand, "I don't know."
"Ah?" Fei Zhen's eyes widened.
"Ahaha, you don't think I know everything? Zuo Zhuan didn't write it, so it can only be inferred." Fei Qian said, "What you said is all possible, and I think the most important thing is still
The State of Jin... So despite the huge momentum that the State of Qin has made, in fact, from the beginning to the time when it went out to aid Chu, the State of Qin was actually not very willing... Strictly speaking, it was King Qin who wanted to help Chu, and the State of Qin
The doctor doesn’t think so...do you know why?』
Fei Zhen shook her head subconsciously, and then looked at Fei Qian with some worry, fearing that Fei Qian would scold him for not thinking, but this time Fei Qian didn't say anything, but gave a direct answer.
"Because of the marriage..." Fei Qian smiled, "Who is this marriage between Qin and Chu? So if among the King of Qin and the doctor of Qin, there is one who wants to save Chu more, who would it be?"
"King Qin!" Fei Zhen said, "If the King of Chu dies, then the friendship forged by the previous marriage may be gone! At least it will be in vain. If there is another marriage, firstly, new people will be sent, and secondly, there may not be any
The original effect...』
Fei Qian nodded and smiled and said: "The king of Qin sent troops for seven days before and after! Shen Baoxu just cried, but the king of Qin had to put in so much effort and thought, and he had to sing Wuyi himself in public. In the end, the battle may not be what the king of Qin expected...
So do you understand? Then...it's still the same question as before, what does it mean to be a doctor?"
Feizhen fell silent and frowned.
"If you can't understand this question, you can refer to another question..." Fei Qian said, "Is it a doctor who governs people, or a doctor who controls officials?"
Feizhen said smoothly: "Of course, it is the officials who rule the officials, the public, the ministers, the officials, and the scholars. This is the etiquette of the Spring, Autumn and Zhou Dynasties, and it has been like this since the Qin and Han Dynasties."
Fei Qian laughed and said: "If that's the case, why are you called a "scholar-official"? Zhou Li also said, "Those who sit down and talk about the Tao are called princes. Those who practice and practice are called scholar-officials." A king is a public official, and a scholar is a senior official. What's the meaning of this?
"This..." Feizhen stared.
"However," Fei Qian looked at Fei Zhen and said with a smile, "Xunzi also said, "Great doctors and scholars have Chang Zong." This doctor is ahead of the scholars again! What is the explanation for this? It is a scholar who is excellent and a doctor,
Or is it that the great man is hiding behind the scholar?”
If you are a later generation, you can't say that the front and rear positions are so important. But countless historical experiences, as well as the ordering of names of various parliaments in later generations of capitalism, etc., have told one thing. The order of front and rear cannot be messed up at will.
If you don’t believe it, you can try putting the name of the company boss behind the cleaners at the next meeting.
The level is the level, the gap is the gap. Everything is not a certain person or a certain media, and then the self-directed and self-acted saying is that there is no distinction between those who wear long gowns and those who work on screws, and their status is equal, then there can really be no distinction.
Everyone has equal status, regardless of whether the person wearing a long gown on the stage sings beautifully. If he were asked to take off his long gown and drill screws for the rest of his life, he would definitely refuse to do so.
Therefore, those who wear long gowns should ask others to take off their long gowns, so as to ensure that they will not be taken off their long gowns. It is like a doctor who should hold down a scholar, but why did the scholar sit on him later?
"At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the officials were in front, and the scholars were behind. At the end of the Warring States Period, the scholars were in front, and the officials were behind." Fei Qian gently knocked on the table gum, "This is what he wants...then, why?"
Has there been any change?"
"Spring and Autumn Period? Warring States Period?" Fei Zhen stared, "The Spring and Autumn Period scholars were at the back, and the Warring States Period people were at the front... This, ah! Father, did you say that during the Warring States Period, the officials fell while the scholars rose? So that's why there were changes?"
Fei Qian nodded slightly, "Then why did the authority of the doctors decline during the Warring States Period?"
"..." Feizhen subconsciously wanted to say, "How do I know?" But before she could say anything, she swallowed it back. He knew that if he really said that, Fei Qian would let him go.
He went to the Cai Library to "know" it again.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and for a long time before that, people were called "officials". However, in the late Warring States period, there were more "officials" and they continued into the later dynasties. They were still often called "officials" until the Han Dynasty.
They are called "Scholar-bureaucrats" instead of "Scholar-officials" as in the early Spring and Autumn Period.
"Common people can't do it once and then, and there are scholars who can do it; scholars can't do it twice, and they can do it right, and there are great officials who can do it; great officials can't do it twice, and they can do it right, and there are princes who can do it..." Fei Qian said slowly, "It can be seen from this that
, it was clear that the scholar was at the bottom at first, but then..."
Fei Qian smiled meaningfully, and then his eyes turned to Fei Zhen, "Do you understand? The Warring States Period..."
"Oh! I understand!" Fei Zhen clapped her hands and said, "The lower level controls the upper level! The King of Qin did the same at that time! The King of Qin wanted to take action, but the officials blocked it!"
Fei Qian smiled and nodded, "Tell me about it."
"Spring and Autumn! Warring States!" Fei Zhen has obviously found the main direction of the problem, "The great officials of the Spring and Autumn Period were enfeoffed from the clan, and they were hereditary great officers! However, the hereditary great officers may not be able to do their job, so they were left to the scholars!"
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, scholars had their own abilities and positions, so... they usurped the throne..."
Feizhen's face suddenly darkened.
Only when he got here did he fully understand what his father wanted to say to him.
No matter before the Spring and Autumn Period or the Warring States Period, a doctor refers to a person with a certain official position and title. There is no doubt about this. In the early days, a doctor was also of a higher rank than a scholar. There was no problem in this. However, in the Warring States Period
From the middle to late period, scholars appeared before the officials. At the beginning, perhaps it was to indicate that a certain official was not hereditary, but was promoted from a scholar, so he was called a scholar-official. Later, it became a description of the entire scholar.
This group of people became doctors through promotion.
Because the original hereditary doctor had been separated from the grassroots for too long, he did not know the changes at the grassroots level. He still remained in his superior self-goodness and did not realize the danger was coming. He still existed in the illusion of self-goodness. Secondly, he also interacted with the grassroots
There is no common language, so when the hereditary doctor encounters "danger", he also loses the protection from the grassroots, is overthrown by the soldiers, and strips off his long robe.
Then the scholar put on the long robe and became a scholar-official.
But this is not an end, just a beginning.
Scholar-official, scholar-official.
Then what?
There are people below the scholars, and ministers above the officials.
Who can guarantee that the situation of officials and scholar-officials will not evolve on other levels?
Is it guidance or confinement?
"Read more about the Spring and Autumn Period, think more about it, use your brain more..." Fei Qian said meaningfully, "In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the plans and plans can be seen today, and they have been revealed again, but the changes are different... For example
It was said before that the King of Qin sent troops. At that time, Sun Tzu traveled from Qi to Wu and was recommended by the military officers. The battle of Bai Ju shocked the world and almost overthrew the Chu Kingdom... The King of Qin wanted to save him, but the officials were afraid of him, so he could only go there in seven days, and then
Ge Wuyi was able to achieve this feat, but he was timid before fighting, and then avoided fighting. If no Yue Kingdom participated in the war later, would it be an act of aid to Chu... Haha, so it can be seen that at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the power of Qin officials
That’s all...and then, until Shang Yang’s reform..."
Beasts are incomparable to humans. This is a fact that the earth's ecology has proven over thousands of years.
Human beings do not have the sharp claws and teeth of wild beasts, and even have various defects on their bodies, but the only thing stronger than wild beasts is their brains.
Fei Qian continued.
"At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, officials were like this, but at the end of the Warring States Period, why were scholars better than officials?"
"Because the officials think that the inheritance will be permanent and that they can be enjoyed by generations. The officials do not want to make progress, for fear of losing their position. But what is the situation? This is what a scholar-official is like."
"Sciences were born from the Spring and Autumn Period, grew up from the Warring States Period, and flourished from the Han Dynasty..." Fei Qian's eyes seemed to penetrate the fog of history, seeing more and remembering more, "Today, it is extremely prosperous and prosperous..."
Decline, or continue to grow? If the officials are not good, the scholars will replace them. If the officials are not good, who can replace them?"
The scholars took away the long robes of the doctors and put them on themselves, and then formed a new generation of scholar-officials. What will they do next? Will they lead more people to wear long robes, or will they deceive others and say that the long robes are not good at all?
It's easy to wear but not good-looking at all. Is it best for everyone to wear a short coat? It's the closest to nature and the best way to return to your true self?
Just like after the Confucian disciples were taught without distinction at the beginning, will they uphold the spirit of Confucius, expand their knowledge and teach it to the world, or will they deliberately raise the threshold to express that knowledge is difficult and studying is hard, and even if they study
It may not be of any use, why not just farm honestly from the beginning?
When Fei was buried in later generations, he was baptized by a very large-scale wave of the futility of reading. In the whole noisy and chaotic wave, how many people saw their own direction clearly, and how many people just followed the trend? And how many people?
Do people know whether this surging wave is an artificial wave or a spontaneous social fluctuation?
Anyway, Fei Qian saw that the current scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty had gradually begun to move towards the path of becoming a doctor at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period.
arrogant.
ridicule.
Oppress.
arrogant.
Then in the Jin Dynasty, the emperor who climbed up from the noble family expressed his innocence and confusion about why he didn't eat minced meat.
During the Warring States Period, would a soldier with bare feet and a sword stand in front of the people, leading the people to work and fight, say such a thing?
Would the taxi driver who had just kicked the doctor down and put on a long gown say that it would be better to dig in the soil than to wear a long gown?
What kind of changes did those scholars who became doctors feel that they both want and want, and both are and still?
What changed everything?
What caused the great officials in the late Spring and Autumn Period to fall?
What makes the new generation of taxis become doctors again?
The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon.
This is not an empty statement.
In the feudal era, it was often doomed.
Because we can’t see far and we can’t think far.
"There is chaos in the Western Regions..." Fei Qian asked Fei Zhen, "You also know about this. So do you feel scared? Are you afraid that the Western Regions will spread to Chang'an, which will lead to the collapse of Chang'an's three auxiliaries and the world's unrest? Yes, why not
meeting?"
"Because my father is here." Fei Zhen said, "If the child is allowed to face the events in the Western Regions alone, the child will definitely be panicked..."
Fei Qian nodded, "If you have proof in your heart, there will be no chaos. The proof in your heart is in someone. And the proof in someone's heart is that the people in Guanzhong are united. Everything in the world is like this, and it is useless to be afraid. Just like
Sima, who has lived in Dali Temple for a long time, covets his merits. If he does not lead him to be good, he will easily use him to be evil. Chu and Qin have good relations and marriages are good, but if they are used improperly, they will become evil. There are Wu Zixu and others.
Things."
"With the strength of only two men, they may be able to capture tigers and leopards, or they may be able to fight hundreds of brave men, but they cannot defeat a country."
"The same is true in the Western Regions. You may be able to defeat an army, but you cannot defeat a country."
"What can be called a country? Only officials? Only scholars?"
"Therefore, the king of Chu lost, but the king of Wu gained, and the king of Wu lost, and the king of Qin gained, that's how it is. The unification of Qin is not what Qin gained, but what the six kingdoms lost."
"In the Warring States Period, when the officials lost something, the scholars gained it, and they were scholar-officials. It was not the loss of one official, but the loss of all the officials."
"What will happen to the scholars now?"
"If a scholar is lost, who will gain?"
"Can you answer these...?" Fei Qian first looked at the sky in the distance, then cast his eyes on Fei Zhen, and said with a smile, "Read more and think carefully. Only by losing less can you gain more. Ancient times It was like this, and it should be like this now. Hmm...I heard you boast that after finishing reading Spring and Autumn Annals, you just played around for several days?"
Fei Zhen trembled and said with a straight face: "My child... I know my mistake! Thank you very much, father, for your guidance! My child will go and study hard now..."
Fei Qian nodded.
Feizhen wiped her sweat, bowed again, then got up and went to the back hall.
Fei Zhen's temperament has not yet been settled, and it is normal for her to be playful and active. Fei Qian did not say that she must be tied up. She cannot play at all, but she cannot play to distract her mind...
It is not a bad thing for a person to be ambitious. The bad thing is that ambition cannot be controlled.
It's not a bad thing if a person likes beautiful women. The bad thing is that he wants to occupy all the beautiful women by any means necessary.
It's not a bad thing for a person to put on a robe. The bad thing is that when he puts on the robe, he wants to prevent others from wearing robes...
Fei Qian smiled and whispered, "King Chu Ping, is the daughter of Qin so beautiful?"
