Six hundred and sixty-two chapters decorate Confucianism with law?
"You have returned from Liaodong. Please tell me the pros and cons of the reclamation regiment..." Liu Che asked casually.
The reason why he asked Gongsun Hong this question was that Liu Che first wanted to understand the problems that had been exposed after the implementation of the settlement system for half a year.
And Gongsun Hong, as a grassroots worker in the reclamation policy, must be aware of these problems.
Secondly, Liu Che wanted to see how much skill Gongsun Hong had today in his heyday, Gongsun Ji, the Prime Minister of Pingjin and Tianjin!
You know, the Marquis of Pingjin in his heyday, punched Ji An, kicked his father Yan, and crushed the entire small pig civil and military ministers by himself.
Even when Ji An was forced to do so, he could only lose his moral integrity and fire a map gun, saying that Gongsun Hong was from Qi, and "Qi people are so deceitful and ruthless", so Gongsun Hong must be a liar!
He also secretly made a report and complained to Xiaozhu, "Hong is in the position of San Gong and has a lot of salary, but he uses cloth as a quilt. This is a scam." This means that Gongsun Hong is a San Gong and has so much salary, but he sleeps with cloth as a quilt.
, it must be for fame and reputation.
However, no matter what Ji An did, in the end, he only succeeded in Gongsun Hong's life and didn't even hurt his hair!
The current Gongsun Hong is definitely not as good as the Pingjin Hou who defeated the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in his heyday, and Liu Che undoubtedly needs to know how powerful Gongsun Hong is today.
This question can clearly expose Gongsun Hong's current ideological stance and ideology.
Gongsun Hong didn't think so much.
As a new-generation Confucian minister who considers himself ideal and ambitious, Gongsun Hong naturally, like most Confucian scholars, has a very strong desire to "dedicate himself to the emperors Yao and Shun".
Therefore, he sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then bowed: "Thanks to your majesty for not hesitate to inquire, I am here to report: Your majesty has extended your kindness and granted the people to cultivate the land, and to cultivate the border areas with the people of China.
We prepare military equipment, teach the soldiers and the people, and integrate farming and warfare. I read the history books and thought that the so-called 'Great Enlightenment of Barbarians' is far inferior to your Majesty's cultivation!"
Gongsun Hong's flattery made Liu Che feel very comfortable when photographed.
In particular, Gongsun Hong boasted that the reclamation policy was even more powerful than the Chu State's "Great Enlightenment of Barbarians" era, which undoubtedly scratched Liu Che's itch.
As an emperor, especially a time-traveling emperor, is there anything more satisfying than enlightening the world, returning to Han from all over the world, and assimilating all races?
No!
In history, the era of great conquest initiated by the Chu State during the periods of King Chu Wu and King Chu Wen was undoubtedly the largest external expansion of the Xia during the Spring and Autumn Period recorded in Ming history.
History calls this period the ‘Great Enlightenment of Barbarians’.
Countless barbarians were inspired by the magnanimity and great deeds of King Chu Wu and King Chu Wen, and converted into the Xia. Since then, civilization has shone in the Han River Basin. It has continued southward, crossed the Yangtze River, spread to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Wuyue, and established most of today's
Southern civilized world.
The ultimate goal of Liu Che's reclamation policy in Liaodong, Xinhua and North Korea today is to consolidate the existing territory and at the same time assimilate the local Yi and Di tribes.
Seeing the smile on the emperor's face, Gongsun Hong knew that he had taken the photo in the right place, and he felt happy.
Then, he started stuffing his personal belongings.
"However, in my humble opinion, there is still something unsatisfactory about the settlement policy..." As he said this, Gongsun Hong secretly observed the emperor's reaction.
This is very important. The first thing that any minister who wants to stuff private goods in front of the emperor must learn is to pay attention to the emperor's reaction at any time.
Although Gongsun Hong had never had the experience of meeting a saint.
But this kind of thing does not need to be learned. It is a skill that depends entirely on talent.
Yes, you can learn it if you can't, but you can't, you never can.
There is no doubt that Gongsun Hong has outstanding talent in this area, and can even be described as a genius.
When he found that the emperor did not seem to be angry, he immediately paused and said: "The first thing that is not beautiful is that the reclamation regiment is purely supervised by warriors and supervised by military generals. Although your majesty has set a time limit, you are responsible for scribes to assist it.
, However, if things continue like this, some of the people in the settlement may only know how to be warriors and not know how despicable your majesty is!"
Liu Che listened and smiled indifferently.
Since the implementation of this policy of military control of land reclamation, the military generals group has loudly applauded, while the scholar-bureaucrats and civil servants group have been indignant, not just for a day or two.
For civil servants, they will definitely spare no effort to master everything they can.
If possible, they even want to direct the war themselves.
This habit and nature does not matter the background of the times, ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign.
The only difference lies in the strength of the civil servants.
Now, the power of civil servants is weak, so naturally they can only shout.
Regarding these criticisms, Liu Che would incorporate the reasonable and feasible parts into the reclamation system as supplements and improvements. However, Liu Che would treat those criticisms that were purely for the sake of opposition as nonsense.
Gongsun Hong's words are undoubtedly farts.
The settlement regiment only knows that there are warriors but not a king?
What a joke!
In all the reclamation regiments, Liu Cheke personally ordered the mandatory implementation of the brainwashing oath in the Huben Guards and Yulin Guards.
And I wash it every morning.
In such a situation, it is impossible for the settlement regiment to be controlled by the military and become the base of its separatist regime or its peak political power.
What's more, there is a time limit. Once the time is up, the military will withdraw.
Gongsun Hong was shocked when he saw Liu Che's smile.
As a person with a strong ability to observe words and emotions, Gongsun Hong knew that he had said the wrong thing.
But, this is not important.
Because this passage was what he used to test the emperor's inclination.
As soon as he realized something was wrong, Gongsun Hong immediately and decisively threw all the rhetoric he had been thinking about for several days into outer space.
For a smart person, it is obvious that how to choose one's own position is a very important thing.
Almost instantly, Gongsun Hong immediately said: "Secondly, within the various settlement regiments, not only the rewards are too light, but the punishments are also too light. It is inevitable that there will be scoundrels and petty people who cheat and cheat, while some officials are powerless or even do nothing.
, so that good and hard-working people are confused. I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a closer look at the details of this!"
Even Gongsun Hong didn't know why he said such words.
When he finished speaking the last word, he even broke out in a cold sweat.
Even Liu Che was quite surprised when he heard this.
It is very normal for a Legalist minister to say this.
But the question is, is Gongsun Hong a minister of Confucianism?
What is he going to do?
Liu Che instantly remembered an incident that happened in history.
Decorate the Dharma with Confucianism!
Is it possible that Gongsun Hong wants to play the game of using law to decorate Confucianism, externalizing law and internalizing Confucianism?
After scratching his head, Liu Che discovered that this did not seem to be fanciful or impossible!
It cannot be said that only Legalists are allowed to change tactics in order to survive, but Confucianists are not allowed to develop in order to survive, right?
In terms of the current trends in government and opposition and changes in national policies, there is no doubt that the Han Dynasty under the leadership of Liu Che is making great strides in the direction desired by the Legalists.
Although Liu Che talked about benevolence, justice and morality, and seemed to be very kind and loving to the people, anyone who was not blind could see that the Han Dynasty was transforming into a war machine.
Legalism and Mohism are the schools most suitable for a total war system like Qin's.
A hundred years ago, Confucianism was deceived by Qin Shihuang's burning of books.
It is impossible for them not to remember this lesson.
In this case, in order to avoid being cheated again.
So, it is natural for Confucianism to make targeted changes and evolutions.
Besides, Confucianism and Legalism are one family.
Several hundred years ago, Mr. Zixia, the origin of Legalism, was listening to Confucius!
"Interesting..." Liu Che couldn't help being surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Confucianism is a school of thought among hundreds of schools of thought, and it can be said to be the school that can best keep up with changes in the situation and the needs of the world.
Looking at history, you can see that this school of thought has changed countless bodies over the past two thousand years. In the end, only the name Confucianism remained unchanged.
If we had followed the old almanac, Confucianism would have been thrown into the trash can and eliminated.
What's more, it was Gongsun Hong who followed Zhang Tang's footsteps in history and created the "Spring and Autumn Judgment Prison" system.
"I just don't know if Confucian scholars will invent the 'Dharma Decorating the Spring and Autumn Period' in the future..." This seems very possible. Since the Confucian scholars can use the Spring and Autumn Period to explain the law, then in turn, change their posture and use the law to interpret the Spring and Autumn Period. This
It doesn't seem to be difficult.
"If that's the case, that would be wonderful!" With this thought, Liu Che asked curiously: "What should I do in your opinion?" (To be continued.)
