"This minister co-authored it with Zuo Wu from Chu, Jinchang from Huayin in Guanzhong, and Wu Bei..."
Xu Jiu's answer struck a chord in Liu Che's heart. ∑,
A memory from a past life came to mind.
About seven or eight years later, Liu Che's dear cousin, the now dead King Liu An of Huainan, gathered in Shouchun eight erudite and famous people at that time, named the Eight Sons of Huainan. Together, these eight people
After several years of hard work, he finally wrote "Huainanzi", also known as "Huainan Honglie".
Although Liu An, a literary young man, could not rebel.
But his "Huainanzi" was the last swan song of the Za family after "Lu's Spring and Autumn".
Get rid of those myths and legends of later generations in "Huainanzi".
Many of the ideas and concepts in that book are actually very advanced.
For example, it inherited the people-centered thought of "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" and further elaborated it.
At the same time, it also strongly opposes retrogression and requires advancing with the times.
As the saying goes, 'The sage regulates rituals and music but does not control rituals and music. There are rules for governing a country, and benefiting the people is the basis. There are rules for politics and religion, but in terms of order and behavior, if you want to benefit democracy, you don't need to follow the ancients; if you stick to things, you don't need to follow the old times.'
It is also said that 'laws change with the times, etiquette changes with vulgarity. Clothing and equipment are all suitable for their own use. Laws and regulations are all suitable for their own use. Therefore, it is okay to change the ancients, but it is not enough to follow the customs.'
Because of this, Liu An's name has been immortalized throughout the ages, and some people even call him Liu Zi.
Well, in this life, Liu An, a literary young man, has committed suicide out of fear of crime.
Huainanzi didn't even have time to come out or even have an idea, and he was finished with Liu An.
From the perspective of China's cultural development history, this may be a tragedy.
But it could also be a comedy.
Because. Liu An was finished twenty years ahead of schedule.
Those intellectuals, doctors, and elites who would have been killed along with Liu An in their previous lives may usher in a whole new world as a result.
For example, in this year's examination, the name of the first place winner is Lei Quiet and the second place name is Su Fei...
He is one of the eight sons of Huainan.
However, they have not jumped into the big pit of Zajia yet.
Lei Quilt is a reference to a disciple of Legalism, while Su Fei is a disciple of the Chu Shi School of Confucianism.
Originally, Liu Che thought that everything had changed.
But unexpectedly, the huge inertia of history still caused several other members of the Huainan Bazi to get together, find new sponsors, and start compiling "People's Wealth".
Yes. Zuo Wu, Jinchang, and Wu Ban may be unknown now, but in the future, they will be the third of the eight sons of Huainan.
Wu quilt is Liu An's literary talent.
After history took a big turn, it still returned to its original path.
And it seems that these people unite under the banner of Xu Jiu and have the ambition to revive Lu Buwei's ideas or go one step further and become an independent new school of thought.
This kind of ambition can be glimpsed in "People's Wealth".
For example, these guys put forward the statement that "being wise and foolish lies in the heart, not in rank; trust and deception lie in sex, not in intimacy." This is a naked attempt to win over people from poor families.
only……
"Your idea is very good. It is very innovative. It allows me to see the new hope of the Chinese miscellaneous family after Lu Buwei..." Liu Che commented: "However, some of the remarks are a bit excessive... The former Zhongni said: Poem 3
Hundred, to sum it up in one word: thinking without evil! Some of the ideas you have are too much thinking and evil!"
What does Si Wuxie mean? In fact, it means being politically correct, having stable views, and having a good butt.
Of course, the views on three things in different periods are different.
At the very least, based on Confucius's three views, he would definitely not be able to bear it by now and would shout that rituals and music have collapsed.
In the same way, some theories that seemed commonplace and absolutely correct in later generations, even during the Song and Ming dynasties, are now absolute heresies and enemies of the Tao.
Moreover, ideological theory must serve politics.
And politics must pave the way for the development of the country.
At present, Liu Che does not want to start a big ideological debate right away.
Therefore, Liu Che handed the book in his hand to Xu Jiu and ordered: "When you go back, take a good look at the words in this book that I have marked, and first revise them carefully, and then bring them to me for review...
…”
Of course the things Liu Che drew were things he didn't like, or he felt that although they were good, they were actually very sensitive.
For example, some content that is too materialistic.
"Promise!" Xu Jiu was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that he had made the right bet and his future was bright!
"In addition, after you return home, please invite Zuo Wu and three other gentlemen to the palace. I want to see them..." Liu Che ordered.
If possible, Liu Che felt that he should continue to compile a classic similar to "Huainanzi".
It would even be good to simply write down those fascinating things in Huainanzi.
Otherwise, how would future generations know about the "Nvwo Mending the Sky", "Gonggong Touching Buzhou Mountain" and the essence of "Saints" set by the Great Desolate River in later generations?
That's right, the setting of the Great Saint was first proposed by "Huainanzi"...
Well, it turns out that the YY spirit existed even before the Christian era.
"As for your fight in the township school..." Liu Che hesitated for a while. A fight in the township school, no matter what the reason is and what the starting point is, it is impossible to go unpunished.
Otherwise, if others follow my example in the future, what's the point?
"He cut off 100 households in the city and was fined 500 gold. In addition, you also need to support five orphan households of loyal ministers!" Liu Che made the final judgment and asked: "Are you convinced!?"
"The guilty minister respectfully obeys the imperial edict!" Xu Jiu kowtowed.
Of course he was convinced!
Although one hundred households in the feudal food towns were cut off, it was almost equivalent to one-fifth of his current total number of food towns.
But the princes of four hundred households are also princes!
He didn't break any muscles or bones.
Secondly, the fine is 500 yuan, which is a small amount. If you sell a few more batches of slaves, you will get your money back.
What really surprised me was the one who supported the orphan of the loyal minister...
Xu Jiu had never heard of this punishment.
However, it is consistent with the emperor's consistent style of dealing with people.
Since he came to the throne, he has left the greatest impression on the ministers. First, he attaches great importance to people's livelihood and loves the people like sons, at least on the surface. Second, he attaches great importance to caring for the orphans of loyal ministers. Anyone who dies in the line of duty or is killed in the war is now taken care of by the Shaofu and officials at all levels.
Of the support, the Shaofu assumed nearly 70% of the task, and all expenses went to the emperor's inner treasury.
Because of this, the emperor won a crushing victory in the recent alliance of princes.
The answer is simple. The people's hearts, especially those of the army, were won over by the emperor.
Even if the generals want to rebel, as long as the emperor appears in front of the army, the army may immediately turn against them.
Today, in the hearts of the army and the people in Guanzhong, he has the same status as a saint, with a wise king and a holy king.
It was precisely because of this that Xu Jiu dared to take risks boldly.
Of course, you have to ask, where did a slave trader come from with his people-oriented thinking and awareness of attaching importance to the people?
Then you must first know that in the Chinese ideological circles at this time, in the eyes of most people, Yi and Di are not considered human beings, at best they are animals that walk on two legs...
In all the wars between the Han and Hungarians, the captured Huns were basically sold into slavery... (To be continued.)
