"Wenru, have you been handling official documents alone recently?" Chen Xi asked curiously, looking at Li Youli who was sitting in the main seat.
"After all, someone needs to do these things. Zijing and the others have things to deal with, so I will handle the official documents." Li You slowly stopped writing and looked up at Chen Xi, "Is the problem solved?"
"It's settled. It's planned to be held on the seventh day of July. The Qiao Qiao Festival is a good day anyway." Chen Xi smiled and said, "Faced with the current situation, I feel that we have won inexplicably, but I don't know why.
A little disappointed."
"I just won the Central Plains, and then I can say this again after I win the world." Li You looked at Chen Xi with a stern face, "I am disappointed because you won too easily. Although there are differences in the strategic plan, it generally follows your plan.
Plan step by step and win naturally, there will be no surprises.”
"Are you ready?" Chen Xi asked.
"I have no heirs, and my only daughter has chosen the Western Regions. Who have the rights of others to veto it?" Li You's cold and stern voice made Chen Xi moved, but also a little frightened.
If there is anyone who can make Chen Xi feel fear during this period, then Li You is definitely one of them. Whether it is will, ability, experience, or determination, it makes people feel trembling from the bottom of their hearts.
For a guy whose intelligence and ability are comparable to Li You, willpower, determination, and experience are definitely problems. But if willpower and determination are not a problem, it will be difficult to compete with Li You in terms of intelligence and ability.
The smarter the person, the more cunning he is. Chen Xi has only seen one person who is as smart as Li You and has such will, and that is Li You himself.
"Li Yuan is gone." Chen Xi sighed.
Chen Xi knows very well what it means for Li You to send his daughter to the Western Regions. What is the love between Li You and Zhuge Liang's children?
What a joke, Li You is telling all the officials under his rule that as a senator, I sent my only bloodline to the Western Regions, but you are not even as good as a woman? Or do you think your children are more precious than the apple of my eye? This is
What a terrible thought pattern!
"She has this qualification." Li You pointed to his head and said, "She is better than me back then. To be precise, I have seen many young people, not to mention Kongming, Xiaozhi, who are so amazing and talented.
Even if they are second-tier, such as Jiang Gongyan and Xu Yuanzhi, I am not as good as them."
"My qualifications are probably only those of Wen Manji and Liang Ziyu, but that's just qualifications." Li You said slowly, which can be regarded as an explanation. It can be seen that Li You has high expectations for his daughter.
Chen Xi didn't know how to answer. Zhuge Liang almost suppressed the figures of an era. Even geniuses like Lu Xun were a little inferior. This generation of Fa Zheng has abandoned many shortcomings and has been trained by many people. It lacks the twenty years of training.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the years have been wasted and one is astounded by his talent and beauty.
Jiang Wan, Xu Shu and others are almost all rare and can be described as mainstay figures. It is difficult to calm down the troubled times by their own strength, but sitting in the center and stabilizing the situation is no problem.
As for Wen Hui, Liang Xi, and Zhang Ji, although they are also very good, but how can I put it, there is a gap compared to the guys above. There is no big problem for them to stabilize the situation on one side, but they are still far from the level of coordinating the overall situation.
There is some difference.
People like Chen Deng are basically at this level. Their vision, their vision, and their limits are just like this, and now Li You boasts that his qualifications are just like this.
"I used to be unable to even awaken my spiritual talents, which is probably at this level. However, qualifications are only a very rough criterion. In my opinion, many people have the qualifications to awaken their spiritual talents. However, except for myself, I have never seen anyone who has the qualifications to awaken their spiritual talents.
The second one." Li You said with some sarcasm. As Li You with such qualifications and standing at this height, he is indeed qualified to ridicule.
"I told Yuan'er that she has this qualification, and told her that if she unlocks her spiritual talent one day, there is still a chance. If she doesn't unlock it, even I won't be able to protect her when she gets there!" Li You slowly said
said.
Spiritual talent is wisdom, it is experience, it is the sublimation of experience, it is the integration of everything that has been learned, it is the sublimation of the spiritual and ideological level, just like emerging from the cocoon and becoming a butterfly, the butterfly from above looks back to see the end of the caterpillar itself.
What kind of thinking is it?
Chen Xi couldn't help but think about what he thought about some things in the past, and then thought about how he views certain things now, and couldn't help but laugh. The person I am today is not the person I was yesterday.
"You are too cruel." Chen Xi said after a while.
"Since you have chosen to be my daughter, you should shoulder this responsibility, and let her understand where her good life comes from." Li You said calmly and calmly, without wavering at all, and Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh.
Continuously.
"If Li Yuan were a man, I wouldn't say anything if you acted like this, but as a woman, you are really cruel." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
"If I were a man, I might have plotted for the sake of my children like Jia Wenhe." Li You's mood was slightly depressed, but he returned to his normal expression in an instant.
Chen Xi hesitated and didn't know how to answer this sentence. Is it wrong to plan for the heir? To be honest, this is just human nature. What's more, Jia Xu did not violate the rules to do this, not to mention Jia Mu's behavior in this regard.
There is enough talent.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Li You calmed down and said calmly.
Li You also knew that there was nothing wrong with this, but that Jia Wenhe was changing. In order to prove himself and show off what he had learned, he was young and frivolous, just like all the people from aristocratic families, he was confident and conceited that he could wipe out the injustice in the world.
Later, he succumbed to reality, or shifted strategically, and began to think about how to realize his wishes in a curved way. In the end, he went against his original intention and completely became the object of his disgust.
"Everything is changing after all." Chen Xi sighed, and then said with a smile, "This is normal. Even if we have an ambitious goal, we all have different ways of achieving it, depending on our personal experience and wisdom.
They are also destined to go their own ways."
"Don't say that we can't all be the same. Even if a person has five fingers and one length, it's normal to have different ideas. As long as the final goal is the same, it will be far better than other forces." Chen Xi looked at it.
Li You comforted him by saying that Li You was simply a martyr.
"I just mentioned it casually, don't worry about it." Li You said calmly.
"Well, let me discuss something with you. It's like this." Chen Xi saw the estimation in Li You's eyes, so he changed the topic and gave Li You a detailed description of the national bonds he had been thinking about some time ago, "Do you think it can be done?"
Do this?"
"If there's anything we can't do, just strengthen supervision. As for the county and county governments forcibly borrowing money from the people, if the state and the central government don't see it, it's time for this country to be finished." Li You said with a sneer,
"This situation is nothing more than a regulatory issue."
"That's true. It's just that it's easy for problems to arise, and if a person sitting in my position is not careful, something big will happen. We need to think about future generations. After all, what we do now will have a negative impact on future generations."
It all means that it is a method of processing that can be followed." Chen Xi said rather helplessly.
For the ancients, they would be very cautious when taking risks to do something that no one has done before. However, if the predecessors had relevant successful cases, then future generations would naturally imitate the trajectory of the predecessors and recreate the original path.
, and this is what Chen Xi is worried about.
"There are many positions that are prone to big troubles, so you just have to work for your position and shoulder the responsibilities. There is no absolutely safe position in this world. You may choke to death even if you eat, but you can't give up eating because of choking." Li You disdained.
said.
In fact, Li You would like to say that Ji Xiang can still tolerate it. Even if there are certain problems with the system, it can be corrected day by day, so there is no need to worry about it.
"Well, in that case, I will gather everyone together in a few days, and we will have a good discussion. The interest rates and everything need to be calculated. Although those families have absolute confidence in us after watching the military parade, giving them favors is free.
It's better not to do it." Chen Xi nodded and said, after all, he has been guarding against the invasion of the aristocratic family.
"This kind of thing is not important anymore. The aristocratic family can only follow in my footsteps while I am alive. They don't have many choices. However, speaking of Zichuan, do you think the current system is right?
?" Li You's casual tone contained an inexplicable sense of caution.
"It's definitely not right." Chen Xi said without thinking.
"Then let me ask again, if there is a better way, and it has been determined, will you overthrow the system?" Li You asked curiously, "If the current system is wrong, will you overthrow it?
System?”
"Wenru, have you been affected by anything?" Chen Xi glanced at Li You with a strange look and said, "I'm curious why you would ask such a question."
"Well, I read The Theory of Contradiction and The Theory of Practice before deletion." Li You looked at Chen Xi calmly and said, "It's a banned book, right?"
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "What do you think after reading this?"
"Saints are insignificant." Li You looked at Chen Xi calmly and said.
"Have you ever thought about executing it?" Chen Xi nodded silently. It is true that a saint is not worth mentioning.
"No, it's too far away. His thoughts are so high and thought-provoking, but we are very far away from that level." Li You sighed and said.
"This is the so-called economic base that determines the superstructure." Chen Xi said with a smile. Democracy still accounts for most of the society in later generations, but when the democratic trend of thought was born in the late Qing Dynasty, it still failed. The economic base is the important reason that determines the superstructure.
.
"The economic base determines the superstructure." Li You lowered his head and thought, but did not speak. After a long time, he said, "But those two books are essentially overthrowing the privileged class, right, but you are actually identifying with this class.
?”
"There is no way. When the moral level has not been reached, people who are hostile to the powerful will block the path to the upper class even more when they become powerful. After all, I am not at the bottom, and I can't betray my own class." Chen Xi
He sighed and said, "I can only say that he is a reformist."
"Ask yourself, is it the privilege itself that we are hostile to, or is it that we are hostile to the privileged because we are not privileged ourselves," Chen Xi said with sarcasm.
"I am the reformist, right?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked, without answering the second question. Li You himself was a privileged person, so he could understand. Chen Xi nodded after hearing this.
"I cannot become a reformist. The class I come from, if a reformist is born, unless the great era collapses, the world is in chaos, and someone rebuilds the world, then I can only reform. Relatively speaking, I am already a radical reformist.
"Chen Xi mocked himself with a wry smile.
"I see, the reason why you are looking for me is to remind you of yourself, right?" Li You looked at Chen Xi silently and said, "The reason why the reformists make people live better is not because of their conscience, but because the reformists also
You are also afraid of being alive!"
"Well, if you really want to say it, the so-called equality of rights and obligations is already my compromise." Chen Xi poured a cup of tea. At this time, there were only two of them left. There was nothing that couldn't be said. Since Li You had finished reading
Those two things are original manuscripts, so it doesn't matter if you tell the truth.
"Let me talk about myself first, and then you." Li You directly cut off Chen Xi's words, and said calmly, "You and I have many similarities. You and I are both doing things, and neither of them is utilitarian. Either we don't do it or not, once we decide
To do it, you put a lot of things aside.”
"Power, money, and other things, for you and me, we can all put them down when we take this country's affairs as our own." Li You looked at Chen Xi solemnly.
Chen Xi nodded, "If you want to achieve great things, you can't be selfish and you must maintain your integrity."
Li You did not deny this, but continued, "The difference between you and me is that you did not smash the courage of the Central Plains to rebuild the world. You are looking forward and backward. What you are thinking about is how to transfer conflicts instead of facing difficulties.
.”
"I just have to do my best in my era. The reformists and other factions will have their own way out. As for the reformists' path, the reformist path, the law of dynastic cycles, and the overthrow of privileges, it is up to others to try.
, the testing ground from West Asia to Central Asia and then to South Asia is an opportunity for the reformists to verify their correctness." Chen Xi said silently, "I can't do it."
"I'm afraid they are not as good as you!" Li You said with a sneer.
"But time and experience will prove their correctness. All I can do is protect the fundamentals of the Central Plains and wait for the emergence of ideas that can truly transcend the cyclical laws of dynasties, monarchy, morality, and democracy and freedom." Chen Xi
His eyes were dull.
"Manpower is sometimes poor. I know very well what kind of power I have. I can't solve these problems, but I can leave solutions to the problems. Pure practice theory and contradiction theory are too lethal for today. I need to cover up
The colors in it are camouflaged, waiting for the economic base to rise day by day, and there will naturally be people who can peek out of it." Chen Xi was extremely calm.
"Before this, the current situation must be maintained?" Li You probably understood Chen Xi's will and asked after a while.
"Yes, the current situation must be maintained until then. The people do not care about the system or politics. They only care about their own lives. If you give them enough food and clothing to solve the life problems they face, they do not care whether it is an imperial system or a
Other systems." Chen Xi said extremely seriously, the current system cannot be changed.
Chen Xi would rather transfer the conflict away than try to reform the system. Although Chen Xi's current situation, even if he tries to carry out reforms, he may not fail, but his background is destined to do so, his wife and children will inevitably be separated, and he will definitely be killed.
Rivers of blood flowed.
Even after in-depth study, feudal socialism, which is extremely close to the imperial system, is actually extremely far away if we really want to explore it.
Feudal society, which has not even had the flower of sin bloom, has not yet reached the peak of feudal society. At this time, even if it is reform, even if it is to increase social productivity, it must first reach the peak of feudal society.
The economic foundation has not yet reached the standard, but he wants to deepen the reform of the entire social system. Chen Xi is not stupid. He cannot do this kind of death-seeking move. Even if it is a constitutional system, even if it is a virtual king, it needs to be done step by step. Liu Tong is in the three parties
Despite the compromise, the regent has exceeded Chen Xi's expectations.
But even if it goes as planned by Chen Xi, Liu Tong will step down in more than ten years, and there will probably be a long way from establishing a constitution. As for Xu Jun, from Chen Xi's perspective, there will be almost no chance before the next dynasty cycle comes.
Neither is possible.
Liu Tong's current situation can only be said to be a three-party compromise, and he is still far away from Xujun. It can only be said that Chen Xi left a fallback path for future generations of three or even five hundred years to choose.
There will come a time when a constitutional monarchy will be an option.
After all, as a predecessor, Chen Xi has already done this. As for whether it is a three-party compromise or a false monarch, when the time comes when a constitution is needed, then someone who writes the Six Classics will appear.
After all, Chen Xi is a reformist. Theoretically speaking, class reformers are actually self-help elements of their own class. They are subject to the exclusion and suppression of reformists and other factions and carry out reforms for their own class. If this class is the ruling class, then what can I say?
Unfortunately, the reformists of the ruling class seem to have a conscience, but in fact they are only alive because of those reformers who want to overthrow the ruling class.
The ruling class's self-rescue itself means that the reformists are powerful.
"But it's okay, at least I'm not like that yet." Chen Xi said with emotion.
If he traveled back to the era of clan politics, Chen Xi would have to think about whether to join the old era in suppressing the reformists and allowing clan politics to continue, or to work with the reformists to overthrow clan politics and then collapse together with the decadent clan politics.
That era was not an era that the reformists could survive. No matter which road they took, it was a road covered with thorns and bones. By then, no matter which side wins, the other side will have no need to exist. The real zero
and games.
As for the current era, it is okay. At least there is a way for the reformists to survive. Although it cannot be perfect, Chen Xi can barely stop the pace of the times and ensure a barely win-win situation.
There is no need to treat the common people like ants and let the barbarians burn, kill and loot, nor do we need to revolutionize the Central Plains, killing aristocratic families until they are extirpated, and killing them until their culture is incomplete, and there is no distinction between left and right.
The current method cannot be said to be good, but in Chen Xi's opinion, it is not bad. It should be between the second worst and the second best. Sometimes, having such a choice is enough. Faced with the second worst plan and the worst plan to revolutionize the Central Plains
I can only hold my nose and accept the plan.
After all, there are still options, and it is not the worst plan after all.
"This is my answer. All I can do is this step. If I go further, I don't have a good way. Many ideas and many theories cannot be completed in this era. Any theory has
The background of my own birth." Chen Xi sighed and said.
This is why Chen Xi wants to revise all the doctrines born after the Han Dynasty. It is not because of advanced thinking, it can only be said to be a different perspective.
There is nothing wrong with these ideas. Whether it is the theory of mind, the theory of contradiction, or the theory of practice, they are all correct. The pragmatism in Chinese people's thinking is enough to ensure that these theories will still be put into use even after traveling through thousands of years to the Three Kingdoms.
room.
The reason why Chen Xi revised it is that perspective, productivity, and economic foundation can all be ignored. Universal morality, thinking patterns, and educational levels are all different. One book can be read by hundreds of people, and there are endless philosophies in the book.
.
"You just left an introduction. As for how to write the future content, it depends on the ability of each person?" Li You opened the official document and said while reviewing it.
"Yes, there is only so much I can do. No matter how much I do, it is still beyond my ability. After all, the content I interpret is no longer the original content. The Six Classics annotated me, and I annotated the Six Classics. My annotation is ultimately
It adds to my thinking." Although Chen Xi was smiling, his expression was obviously downcast.
Li You silently reviewed an official document, then put it away and looked at Chen Xi. He could see the helplessness and loss on Chen Xi's face.
It is obvious that Chen Xi, as a reformist, has tried his best. Although he has done very well, very well, and better than anyone before, he has not achieved Chen Xi's own goal.
"After all, your method cannot achieve the state you want." Li You put down his pen and said after being silent for a while.
"But at least I have been moving towards that state. Even if I never reach it, at least I will not be confused." At this moment, Chen Xi almost lost all his glitz and said with a determined expression.
"Well, at least we are still moving in that direction, and will not fail directly like me." Li You said slowly, "I, the reformist, have failed, and now it's up to you. Although it is destined to be impossible to complete, people's hearts,
Hey, the economic foundation, hey, I didn’t expect that everything would return to the origin of Datong society in the end, what a moral!”
