The first thousand two hundred and fortieth sections of the excited ministers
After finishing the first thing, Zhou Yafu picked up the second silk book. After a brief glance, Zhou Yafu sighed: "It is indeed so!"
In fact, when he put this issue in, Zhou Yafu knew that this matter would definitely become the focus of Shiqu Pavilion.
The reason is simple - because it has something for everyone.
It can not only let the giants of various schools of thought feel the feeling of "the world is in my hands. I am the master of the country".
It can also allow the emperor to enjoy some flattery.
More importantly, it will hardly affect any of the established strategies of the Han Dynasty.
Such a good topic, Zhou Yafu searched all over the Jiuqing Yamen of the Han Dynasty, rummaged through piles of old papers, and only found this one.
If it cannot be selected, Zhou Yafu will doubt the world.
Clearing his throat slightly, Zhou Yafu read with a smile on his face: "His Majesty has issued an edict: I heard that in ancient times there were three elders and five more men. The kings of the past personally slaughtered the animals, held the sauce and fed them, held the crowns and mixed them, and Zhu Kun was in front.
, I wish you the best of luck! Today the rituals and music have collapsed, and the system of the previous kings has ceased to exist. I feel very sorry for you! You are all famous scholars, and they know the politics of ancient and modern times. Please ask me for advice - how can we restore the system of three old men and five watchers?
, to show the world that I respect the elderly?"
Care for the elderly, respect the elderly, respect the elderly!
This is the unquestionable political correctness of the Han Dynasty.
It even runs through the entire politics and history of the Han Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty, the status and authority of the three elders are undisputed!
They enjoy privileges that rival or even surpass those of officials!
The three elders with high reputation in the local area even dared to chase the county guard and beat the county captain with a few sticks.
But not only did the opponent not dare to fight back, but when he was beaten, he still greeted him with a smile, saying that the beating was good!
Anyone who dares to fight back will immediately be torn to pieces by public opinion and high-level pressure.
However, the number of the three elders of the Han Dynasty was quite large!
According to statistics from the Prime Minister's Office, there are currently nearly two thousand people in the world who have received the scepter.
Of course, just being gifted with a few sticks doesn’t mean you can become the third elder.
However, the three elders must be the recipients of the scepter!
Generally speaking, for every two recipients of the rod, there will be one San Lao.
This means that the current number of three elders in the Han Dynasty is likely to reach as many as a thousand!
This is a force that cannot be ignored!
Because, basically, the people who can serve as the three elders are either the local elders who are highly respected and well-supported by the people, or they must be retired senior officials and senior military officers.
It seems that the pension system of the Han Dynasty has become the best in the world.
No dynasty since then has had such a complete system of respecting and supporting the elderly.
But if you tell me, you may not believe it - the Han Dynasty has not yet perfected this system, let alone designed a set of corresponding pension gifts!
Historically, when we began to consider designing and improving pension gifts, it was not until the Ming Dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty that we regarded this matter as a major national policy, picked it up, and solemnly revived it.
Therefore, many historians and historians in later generations often say that the rituals and music of the Western Han Dynasty collapsed. This is not without reason.
In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor did not even have the emperor's rites...
Liu Che now dresses as he pleases at any time except in formal occasions.
Sometimes he would even dress as a general, wear a special breastplate, and ride a tall horse for a walk in the palace.
As for going on a safari in Shanglinyuan, he even dressed up in Hufu...
But no one would accuse him.
Because the old Liu family has no plans to formulate the emperor's ceremony!
Never before - I think back then, when Liu Bang became emperor, he would sit at the same table with the ministers and tell dirty jokes! Later, it was Shusun Tong's suggestion and a big court meeting was held, which finally stopped this kind of fighting and frolicking between the emperor and his ministers.
trick.
but……
Still no eggs...
The Supreme Emperor Liu Taigong used to bring his retainers and soldiers to fight with others directly!
It won’t happen now—because Liu Che won’t make himself uncomfortable!
There is not even an emperor gift, do you think there will be a pension gift?
However, after Liu Che came to the throne, he has been preparing to pick up this pension gift.
This is not only because doing this can gain countless reputations, but it is also a great weapon that can consolidate rule and unite all classes.
But things like etiquette...
Since it has been hundreds of years since the destruction of Zongzhou and King Ping moved eastward, the influence of the Zhou Dynasty has basically disappeared. Now, almost no one knows what the ancient etiquette is about.
There are also some records in Shangshu and Book of Songs.
But the problem is that in this kind of thing, it is reasonable for the public to speak to the public, and it is reasonable for the mother-in-law to speak to her mother-in-law.
In the court hall, the Huang-Lao sect and the Legalists quarreled and could not reach a consensus at all.
Liu Che didn't want to waste energy on this matter anymore.
Just bring this matter up and let the ‘people of the world’ decide!
Anyway, no matter what you do, it won't affect other things.
And as soon as this matter was brought up, all the schools of thought, even the Huang Laopai who had always been a little lazy, suddenly became energetic.
Ritual and music are one of the most important things in Chinese politics.
In theory, nothing else is more important than ritual and music.
Because rituals and music are grades, the way of dividing social classes.
What rituals does the emperor use and what music does he listen to? What rituals do the princes and kings use and what music do they listen to? This is a major matter related to order from top to bottom!
Therefore, Confucius said: Eight hundred people dancing in the court are tolerable, which one is intolerable?
Although the Legalists don't care about rituals and music, the world is like this and they have to follow it.
Therefore, ritual and music also occupy an important space in Legalist thought.
As for the Huang-Lao Sect, let alone the ritual and music system, which is also one of the core elements of the Huang-Lao Sect.
Many people may not have thought that even the Mohist family, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was also an advocate of the ritual and music system.
Of course, the direction of admiration is different.
But no matter what, in today's Han Dynasty, all the scholars have the same attitude towards rituals and music - although their opinions and appeals may be different, they still attach great importance to it!
Therefore, everyone suddenly became active, energetic, gearing up, and all ready for a big fight.
Many people deeply feel that this time the emperor convened Shiqu Pavilion, it can be said that he was sincere!
Even the etiquette system can be brought out for discussion by the world!
so perfect!
Several representatives of the Za family were even more excited!
What the Zajia pursues is a scene like today - the world is not a world for one person, but a world for everyone.
Of course the world for the people of the world must be decided by the people of the world!
Even the courtiers were extremely surprised. Deep in their hearts, they felt that the emperor had gone too far.
How can secular people interfere in this kind of thing?
Only Liu Che looked at this scene and couldn't laugh or cry.
But unfortunately, since ancient times, the Chinese have been fond of this kind of food.
This is also an inevitable result of China’s special humanistic and ideological environment.
It is said that music comes from the inside, rituals are made from the outside, great music is in harmony with heaven and earth, and great rituals are in harmony with heaven and earth.
Therefore, the king will enjoy his success and rule the country with gifts!
In other words, he, who is a time traveler at heart, is not sensitive to this.
But everyone else basically feels that this is the top priority in the world, even more important than fighting the Huns!
However, this is also good!
Just use this matter to put some gold on your face!
