How could Liu Wu care about poems and songs at this time?
Last night, after the family banquet was over, Empress Dowager Dou sent someone to stay with Liu Wu.
In the past two years, the old mother's eyesight has become increasingly poor, and she has become more and more doting on her young son.
During the affectionate conversation between mother and son last night, the old mother's words immediately set off a huge wave of shock in Liu Wu's heart.
"Liu Wu, it would be great if you could stay in Chang'an and stay with the Ai family... The Ai family is old and almost blind. I don't know how many more days I can watch you... Hasn't the emperor not established a prince yet? Ai
The family is thinking, how about the Aijia find an opportunity to talk to the emperor and ask you to become the emperor's younger brother, so that you can stay in Chang'an and stay with the Aijia all the time!"
Liu Wu was tossing and turning on the cave last night, unable to sleep, as his old mother's words kept replaying in his mind.
"What the Queen Mother said last night was just a moment of overwhelming affection, or did she really think so?"
"Has the Emperor ever agreed?"
These questions kept boiling in Liu Wu's mind one after another, making his blood boil and almost losing his mind.
Liu Wu was very aware of the methods of his mother, Queen Mother Dou.
She will never let go!
For the first time in his life, Liu Wu felt that the throne was beckoning to him.
As long as he takes one step forward, he will be the emperor's younger brother and the future emperor of this great man.
Words form a constitution, words follow the law, a word makes a country prosperous, and the king's power is granted by heaven.
No one can refuse this kind of ***!
But Liu Wu also knew how difficult it was to take that step.
Since the time of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, it has always been passed down from father to son, and there has never been a case of brother succeeding to brother.
That’s not all!
He still doesn't know today's attitude.
Even if the emperor agreed, it would be impossible for the emperor's eleven sons to agree.
In the future, these princes will be divided into vassals and each will lead a country.
However, the desire for the throne overwhelmed his brain and made him unable to calm down.
When Liu Wu saw Liu De on the carriage, he himself couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and he unexpectedly stopped the carriage.
Looking at Liu De sitting next to him, Liu Wu took a closer look. He found that Liu De looked exactly like his imperial brother today in both appearance and sitting posture. Even the slight smile at the corner of his mouth looked exactly like him.
late father.
Looking at Liu De's appearance, Liu Wu moved his lips. What he originally wanted to say turned into: "Nephew Liu Dexian, after some time, after the funeral of the Empress Dowager and her old man is completed, will there be any
Why don’t you come to the Imperial Manor outside Chang’an City to appreciate poems and poems with others?”
"I have recently recruited a great talent. His surname is Zhuang and his name is Ji. He is good at poetry. I have read a few of them. Both the writing and the artistic conception are extraordinary. He can be called a talented person in the world!"
Liu De was shocked.
I am really afraid of what will happen!
Zhuang Ji?
In his previous life, Liu De was already famous.
Moreover, this Zhuang Ji also had an even more remarkable son, Zhuang Zhu, who would be ranked alongside Sima Xiangru in later generations.
After a pause, Liu De said with a smile: "It's not that my nephew is unwilling to return to the emperor's uncle, it's actually that in recent days, my nephew has lost interest in poetry, poetry, and poetry!"
"Oh?" Liu Wu looked quite surprised and asked, "Why is this?"
"Uncle Emperor, I don't know why this happened all of a sudden..." Liu De sighed and said according to what he had already thought of: "Anyway, a few days ago, when I was appreciating a poem, I suddenly felt,
Poems and songs are useless!"
Liu De said with compassion: "This is true even if it is an immortal masterpiece that can be passed down through the ages!"
"Poetry, lyrics and rhymes can't fill the stomachs of the people, are useless to the country, and can't kill the enemy and protect the country...what's the use of it?" Liu De sighed: "Maybe he woke up once, and since then, the boy has been
I can never see those poems and songs again, it gives me a headache when I see them!"
"Young man, I feel that what our Han family needs now is not some poets and poets who can point out the country, but have no problems, but officials who can really bend down and inspect the people of counties and counties!" Liu De said softly.
He said: "If you can lead local officials and the people to build a channel to protect the people from drought and floods, wouldn't it be far better than an immortal masterpiece that can be passed down through the ages?"
"This..." Liu Wu didn't expect that Liu De would throw out such an unheard-of theory to him. He opened his mouth and defended his favorite poetry: "But poetry and poetry are elegant things.
…”
"Haha..." Liu De smiled.
Liu Wu's words reminded Liu De of a story he read online in later generations when the Internet was developed.
Wen Yanbo, a famous official in the Song Dynasty, was sent by the emperor to supervise the flood control of the Yellow River, but he gave up the challenge and said: This is not the treatment of a Confucian official.
As a time traveler, it is really difficult for Liu De to accept this or similar tone.
If we don’t do practical things and just rely on words, can society progress? Can the people have enough food and clothing?
What a joke!!!!
However, comments like this cannot really be blamed on Confucianism.
This is a common problem among bureaucracies.
Because being pragmatic is always easier than being pragmatic.
Even in the Great Celestial Dynasty more than two thousand years later, officials who can brag will always make faster progress than officials who work hard.
Seeing the puzzled look on Liu Wu's face, Liu De knew that he would not be able to convince Liu Wu.
However, Liu De does not need to convince Liu Wu. What he needs is just a reason to explain his changes and a chance to increase his reputation.
However, Liu Wu's answer also reminded Liu De of another thing.
In his previous life, after Liu She changed his name to Liu Che and proclaimed himself emperor, he did one thing - the Jianyuan New Deal!
The Jianyuan New Deal was naturally the embodiment of justice in the history books of later generations and was touted by countless people.
Liu De, who had personally experienced the Jianyuan New Deal, completely scorned it.
In Liu De's view, the so-called Jianyuan New Deal was just a farce used by a group of clowns to exclude dissidents and suppress different opinions.
For example, after the Jianyuan New Deal began, the first edict issued by Liu Che was not to improve people's livelihood, nor to eliminate bad governance. It was: to mention virtuous people, or to govern Shenhan, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, or disrupt the state affairs, all of them should be dismissed!
Thinking of this, Liu De felt that he had found the meaning of his existence in this world.
That is to prevent the abandonment of hundreds of schools of thought and the sole worship of Confucianism.
Liu De has no prejudice against Confucianism. On the contrary, he admires certain theories of Confucianism, such as the idea of great unification, the concept of centralization, and the sentiment of benefiting the common people.
However, it would not be good for the Confucian family to dominate and become the only ruling group.
Without the essence of Legalism, this nation will become afraid of reform and change.
Without the Mohist masters, there would be no one to promote the development of science and technology.
When the geniuses of political strategists disappear from the political arena, diplomacy and international communication will become more closed, conservative, and rigid.
When military strategists become ruffians, famous generals and generals can only follow God's will, and strategy and tactics will be confused.
As for the failure of hundreds of schools of thought to only respect Confucianism, the ideas will be confused and the culture will have no one to inherit it.
This is all unfounded worry!
Could it be said that after studying physics, chemistry, mathematics, Chinese, and politics, the minds of later generations of students became confused?
What a joke!
Could it be said that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a hundred schools of thought were contending, thoughts were very confused?
Unexpectedly, the seventh generation of Qin State implemented the same strategy, and the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Zhao also had their own strategies, which were consistent and persisted to the end.
