Although I don’t understand why His Majesty the Emperor would want to go out of the palace to worship the late emperor when the weather turns cold, but now that the edict has been issued, the ministers who want to prepare must still make preparations.
On a certain day chosen by Taishi Ling, Adou took the relevant ministers and went to Huiling in great force.
First, the late emperor was imprisoned - the man's life was much better this year, so the sacrifices were generous.
Unlike at the beginning of the year, you could only go to juvenile jail.
Then he took a piece of fine wool and put it on the table - this was a rare and good thing, so that the late emperor could see it.
Zagotel from behind came forward with several leaders to kowtow to the late emperor - indicating that the great man had regained a little glory.
The highlight is at the end.
Adou took the edict and read it for a while. The content was nothing more than praising the late emperor and praising himself.
One of the most noteworthy points is that there is a lot of praise in it, and that is the auspicious appearance of the big man.
This auspiciousness is paper.
Adou praised this auspicious sign very much, saying that this kind of paper is very good, thick, soft, tough and smooth, so this is a sign that the literary affairs of the Han Dynasty will flourish.
So the ministers watched the Prime Minister holding a large stack of paper and handing it to His Majesty, and then His Majesty took the paper and burned it in full view of everyone, burned it...
After finishing all this, Adou took advantage of the ministers not paying attention and looked at his father-in-law. The meaning was nothing more than, "father, how do you think I performed in this play?"
The Han Prime Minister raised his eyebrows and gave an appreciative look, which meant that he had received it and did a good job.
The two men standing at the top of the big man completed a silent communication under this situation.
After Adou finished what he should do, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty followed him out of the procession, bowed and saluted, first congratulated His Majesty, and then suggested, "Since Heaven has brought good fortune to the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty should obey the will of Heaven and vigorously promote cultural affairs."
Adou, who had already memorized his lines, said quickly, "My father-in-law's words are very kind. Please teach me how to do it."
Then he showed a very humble and cautious look.
"The late emperor once felt that the world was in chaos, so he ordered people to collect books and annotations to study the classics. Today is auspicious, and this is a good opportunity for your majesty to inherit the legacy of the late emperor. Why don't your majesty summon famous scholars from all over the world to annotate the classics?"
"good!"
So in the harmony between Adou and the Han Prime Minister, and in the confusion of all the ministers, the matter was happily decided.
Even if someone feels something is wrong and wants to object, they are unable to do so because they are unprepared.
His Majesty said in front of the late emperor's mausoleum that he would uphold the late emperor's legacy. Who dares to disagree? Who dares to object?
In November of the second year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty, an auspicious treasure paper appeared in Nanxiang County. Taishi ordered that this was the dynasty in which literary affairs of the Han Dynasty would flourish. The emperor issued an edict to summon the learned people from all over the world to pay attention to the classics and copy them in Bao
On paper, the words of the sage are correct.
When the news reached Hanzhong, Feng Tibi was dozing off in his rocking chair.
There was a thick cushion on the back of the chair, and a blanket was covering him. After hearing the news from Jincheng, Feng Tubeng couldn't help but perked up, and sighed, this old demon Zhuge is really a good person.
For play.
Why did Liu Bei, when he first took over the Shu territory, rush to summon learned men to sort out the classics, regardless of the financial difficulties, even before all the surrounding areas had been pacified?
The reason is very simple, just to compete with the aristocratic family for the right to interpret knowledge.
To put it simply, it is to find a reasonable legal basis for stabilizing one's own rule, and at the same time to dominate public opinion.
Even if Liu Bei wanted to proclaim himself emperor later, his subordinates would have to find an explanation from classics.
It's a pity that first there was the Hanzhong War, then there was the defeat of Jingzhou, and finally there was the defeat of Yiling, which almost bankrupted the government's finances. This battle for the right to interpret knowledge was destined to fail, and in the end the right to interpret was handed over.
It was given to the Shuzhong family.
The right to interpret knowledge is usually invisible and intangible, but it always affects the stability of a political power.
Especially at critical times, it can influence whether the regime moves to the left or to the right.
The most obvious example is Qiao Zhou who persuaded Adou to surrender.
Qiaozhou was a native of Yizhou. He was studious and studious since childhood, well-read in scriptures and knowledgeable about astronomy.
When Old Demon Zhuge was around, he could still suppress the Shu family, so Qiao Zhou appeared in front of everyone as a loyal minister.
After the death of Old Demon Zhuge, his true identity as a surrender faction was revealed.
Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, there has been a mysterious political prophecy that has been widely circulated, called "Those who succeed the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao".
First of all, Qiao Zhou's explanation for this was that Wei must replace Han, so he has been spreading pessimistic arguments, saying that Cao Wei must conquer the world.
Then he said that it was wrong to change the Yuan Dynasty as soon as Adou ascended the throne. Only a king who had subjugated his country would do such a thing.
Later, the names of Liu Bei and Liu Chan were even used as an example, saying that when the names of father and son were combined together, they would be complete, and they would give up to others, saying that the Shu Han regime was unjust and would surely perish.
Later, he strongly opposed Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition and wrote a book "On Chou Guo Lun". This was to open the door for the local people in Yizhou to resist the foreign ruling group of Shu Han, and at the same time it was also paving the way for capitulationism later.
At the last moment, he jumped out and tried his best to persuade Adou to surrender...
So the wavering Adou finally opened the city gate and surrendered.
At this point, Qiao Zhou used the invisible sharp blade of knowledge interpretation power to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Shu Han monarchs and ministers and declared that he was successful.
Later, Jiang Wei and others came up with the famous saying: "Why do you surrender first when your Majesty is about to fight to the death?"
No matter whether the Shu Han will inevitably perish in the end, Qiao Zhou's own actions are really unethical.
But this also illustrates the importance of the right to interpret knowledge.
Zhuge Lao Yao may not understand this, but according to the original historical trajectory, the finances of the Han Dynasty have been extremely tight. In addition, with the wars in the south and the north, there are only a few talents, not to mention money and food. How can there be a chance to do this?
?
It's just because of the intrusion of a certain country bumpkin that the history has gone awry.
We have food, a lot of money and silk, and most importantly, the name paper is really useful!
Treasure paper!
This is the name given by His Majesty.
Listen, just by hearing the name, you can tell how awesome this paper is!
If such a good thing is not used to copy classics, is it still a human being?
When copying, do I need to clearly annotate the meaning? To prevent the world from misunderstanding the saint’s meaning?
This is a grand event. Isn’t it the right place for Han culture to flourish?
Everything is very logical and there is no trace of PS.
Therefore, the Han court could openly intervene in the power of knowledge interpretation.
If someone says that the saint means this again in the future, the court can slap him in the face: the saint never said this, he should mean this...
If you don’t believe me, take a look, I still have scriptures copied on precious paper here.
Anyway, Master Kong used to threaten others with fists as big as sandbags. Now, since both sides can interpret what the sage said, they can also learn from Master Confucius. Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.
The question is, what does the aristocratic family compare with the old demon Zhuge?
And more importantly, the quality of this paper has improved, it can be mass-produced, and it is countless times more convenient than slips of paper. In the end, it will only be a matter of time before quantity changes and quality changes.
This trick is too poisonous!
Thinking of this, Feng Tubiao smiled obscenely, wondering how those aristocratic families in Shu would jump this time.
Then he remembered that he still held an unformed big killer weapon in his hand. If he released it when the time was right, he didn't know if it would make those aristocratic families in Shu want to crush him to ashes?
"Brother, what are you laughing at?"
Li Yi watched his brother standing there for a while, then suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't help but ask.
"nothing."
Feng Yong glanced at Li Yi and thought that fighting between these aristocratic families was no easier than fighting on the battlefield.
The Li family in Nanzhong took refuge with the old demon Zhuge and killed their acquaintances from the Shuzhong family. This was quite impressive - wasn't this piece of paper Li Yi reminded him to present?
But think about it, as far as the current situation is concerned, the right to interpret knowledge is basically transferred from one hand to the other - from the aristocratic family in Sichuan to the hands of the Han Dynasty court.
Isn’t the Nanzhong Li family one of the representatives of the imperial court?
Feng Tuluo felt relieved when he thought of this.
Because in fact these are all contradictions within the ruling class.
The leaders of Guizhou can basically ignore it, they are not qualified to participate in such a high-level game.
"Wenxuan, tell me, how much food and people will the big families in Shu provide this time?"
The literary affairs of the Han Dynasty are about to flourish. Since you are the heir of farming and reading, why don't you just turn a blind eye to such a grand event?
If some country bumpkins and Guizhou leaders ask in the future, how much effort did the farming and reading families in Sichuan contribute to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty's literary affairs?
Then the "insider" replied: He didn't make any effort at all.
So naturally there will be some rubbish yelling: What nonsense is farming and reading to inherit the family?
Where do you want the family's face to go? Isn't this secluded in front of the world?
"It's hard to say how much money and food we have. I might have to give it all away. As for people, the more the better, of course. I'm afraid the court won't agree."
Li Qiu and Huang Chong were both at the county government office, while Feng Yong was only surrounded by Li Yi and Yang Wanwan. Yang Wanwan could not keep up with Feng Yong's ideas for the time being.
With Zhuge Lao Yao's temperament of scraping oil off rocks, the possibility of the aristocratic families trying to get tickets to this grand event without bleeding a lot is basically zero.
But the aristocratic families have to find ways to force people in, otherwise if they let the court mess around, who knows what will happen in the end?
It’s not like Zhuge Villager’s scolding has been circulating among the aristocratic families for a day or two. If the Shuzhong aristocratic family still has illusions about Zhuge’s integrity, then they are really just white rabbits.
“In the past, the imperial court wanted people, but they refused to give them, but now they have to find ways to force them in,” Feng Yong said with a gloating smile, “I wonder how much food we will lose this time?”
Thinking about it, this aristocratic family in Sichuan is actually quite pitiful.
Last year I was cheated and lost a lot of money, and this year when I was harvesting the grain, I was quietly sheared by the old demon Zhuge.
Seeing that the end of the year is about to come, the old demon Zhuge, who has a lot of money, gathers wool again openly and prepares to have a prosperous year...
I wonder if someone will be so angry that they vomit blood and die when news of the Southern Expedition comes out next spring?
Feng Yong felt a little sorry for the aristocratic families in Shu when he thought about it. How could you be so unlucky to meet such a monster-level opponent?
Look at the two countries Wei and Wu, how nourishing the lives of the aristocratic families are?
"The credit has been obtained, the rest has nothing to do with us, just look at it."
Li Yi didn't feel sad at all. Instead, he looked excited, as if he was honored to have personally participated in such a big event.
"It's not irrelevant. Didn't there be news from Jincheng, asking us to transport another batch of paper?"
Feng Yong yawned and lazily retracted his chair, "Wenxuan, please pay attention to this matter and don't miss the prime minister's important event."
"Don't worry, little brother."
Li Yi said excitedly.
The people in Hanzhong are in the winter, but the people in Jincheng feel a sense of restlessness.
"Housekeeper, bring me a bottle of wine first!"
In the restaurant, Zhao Guang and Wang Xun asked for a private room and gave orders as soon as they sat down.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lang, we don't have any wine in this shop."
The waiter said with a smile.
"I'm not talking about real wine, but the kind of soup wine in your store."
Zhao Guang slapped the table and glared.
Tangjiu is actually a soup drink that smells like wine, but when you drink it, it is just sour with a little bit of sweetness.
Zhao Guang was already handsome. If it were before, he would have been a handsome young man in troubled times. Unfortunately, there is a faint scar on his face now, which adds a sharp look to him.
In addition, I have been with a certain country bumpkin for too long, and I have also picked up some bad habits.
"I'm sorry for this gentleman, I don't have any soup or wine."
The waiter bowed and said.
"I asked you whether this shop will do business. The imperial court only banned alcohol, not soup wine. Besides, I am also a regular customer here. I have drank soup wine here many times before. You little guy,
Could it be that the new guy doesn’t recognize me?”
The waiter smiled helplessly, "How dare you bully me when you know that your husband is a regular customer? There really is no soup and wine in this store. A few days ago, someone from the government came and said that soup and wine are also wine, and they are not allowed to be sold."
"Huh? Tangjiu is also wine, who said this?"
Zhao Guang's eyes widened, thinking who is this so wicked?
The imperial court has a ban on alcohol. It’s okay if you don’t have any alcohol to drink on weekdays. Finally, you can finally find a place to eat and smell the smell of alcohol to satisfy your craving, but you should also ban it? How unbecoming of a human being!
I didn't feel that when I was with my brother before, but now I left him and returned to Jincheng, I suddenly found that my mouth has become extremely naughty. Whether it is food at home or food outside, I feel that it is really difficult to swallow.
.
That is to say, this restaurant has such a soup wine which is interesting, but I didn’t expect that it would not be sold even if it was said not to be sold. It is really unreasonable!
"It's really boring!"
Zhao Guang stood up and walked out angrily, "Zi Shi is gone. Without the soup and wine, there won't be anything delicious in this shop."
As soon as he left the private room, he saw a person suddenly appear from the private room next door, stood in front of Zhao Guang, bent down and saluted, "I have met Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Guang took a quick look and frowned slightly, "Is it you?"
The visitor bent down a little lower and smiled, "I didn't expect to meet Zhao Langjun and Wang Langjun here by chance. It's really luck."
Zhao Guang looked the person up and down, with a sneer on his face, "I can't say it's luck, and I'm afraid there's nothing to say between you and me, so get out of the way!"
