"Therefore, Sima Wang Zhongdao, Nanhai County, Qin..."
"Therefore, the Qin Dynasty's Panyu County Wei Ma returned..."
One coffin after another was buried in the tomb.
The atmosphere in Lishan became increasingly solemn and solemn.
Following Liu Chechu's carriage, the generals and ministers of the Han family, Xunchen, who were watching the ceremony together, looked at all this in astonishment like Zhao Tuo.
"Your Majesty is a little too solemn..." someone complained in their hearts.
You know, even when Emperor Gao buried Lu Marquis Xu Juan, the ceremony was far inferior to today's.
Who is Xu Juan?
Emperor Gao's favorite general, he followed Long from Peixian County, followed Emperor Gao to conquer the world, went through more than a hundred battles, and fought thousands of miles away, a famous general!
When Xiao He presided over the evaluation of meritorious officials, he was ranked alongside Fan Kuai, Marquis of Wuyang.
What's even more shocking is that Xu Juan died in battle before the world was peaceful.
After Emperor Gao ascended the throne, he often missed Xu Juan.
Therefore, in the second year of the Han Dynasty, when the meritorious officials were assigned to each other, Qiankun made an arbitrary decision and made Xu Juan's mother a marquis, with a settlement of 4,800 households, and ranked eighth in the list of famous heroes and generals of the Han Dynasty.
It is conceivable that if Xu Juan were alive, he would most likely be like Wuyang and Pingyang, and be granted a title of ten thousand households.
But even though Emperor Gao liked Xu Juan so much, he did not bury him so solemnly.
Only the funeral of King Tian Heng of Qi who committed suicide and offered his head in Luoyang can be compared with the scene today.
Therefore, many people feel uncomfortable inside.
They all feel that their fathers, ancestors and brothers will not receive such treatment and honor after death.
This general and assistant of the previous dynasty has not done anything for the country. His majesty treats him so favorably. It is simply...
"The rewards and punishments are unfair..." many people said in their hearts.
Liu Che looked back at the appearance and attitude of the ministers behind him, and sighed in his heart.
Today's Chinese scholar-bureaucrats, ministers, ministers and princes have awakened to the vague nationalism and the Huayi debate.
But in the final analysis, China has not been a nation based on blood since ancient times, but a nation united by cultural identity.
Therefore, there is a famous saying: "When the Barbarians and Di people enter China, they will be conquered by Huaxia, and when the Huaxia people are invaded by Barbarians, they will be conquered by Barbarians."
For the Chinese, blood is useless, cultural system is the criterion for judging whether someone is a Yi or a Xia.
Under this standard, the so-called national consciousness is naturally relatively weak.
Those who agree with the concept of Chinese cultural system. Even barbarians on the European continent can still be called Huaxia. Those who do not use Chinese characters and system etiquette, even if you are in Chang'an, they are still animals walking on two legs.
This way of thinking determines that the Zhuxia people have the best ability to assimilate in the world. Before there was a certain strange department, it didn't matter whether you were a nomadic people in the north or a Jingchu Yue barbarian in the valleys of the south.
All were eventually assimilated in the long river of history and became part of the Xia nation.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages.
This way of thinking leads to another consequence.
That is, clan is greater than country.
For most scholar-bureaucrats, family is greater than country.
This directly led to the tragic fate of later Song, Ming and even Manchu Qing Dynasties.
Since family is more important than country, then in order to preserve the prosperity and wealth of the family and the country, that is the same thing.
Therefore, the Shanxi merchant group in the late Ming Dynasty, for the benefit of their own family, could naturally sell off the old Zhu family without any scruples. Guan Ning's general group, for the sake of their own fashion, could certainly eat the blood of soldiers without scruples.
Blackmail the court.
The gentry in the south, for their own benefit, were certainly able to resist taxation and even engage in a five-person tombstone thing.
Even when the Qing troops went south later, before the order to shave their heads was issued, the gentry in the entire south basically knelt to welcome the king.
Until the order to shave heads was issued and the Qing soldiers began to collect taxes.
Only then did the southern gentry wake up. They wanted to subjugate the world, so they fought hard, but it was too late.
As for Yi Ya during the Manchu and Qing rule, businessmen from Guangdong and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian could naturally follow suit and sell supplies to the British army, and even lead the way for the British army, and even tried their best to persuade the Manchu and Qing dynasty to quickly sign the agreement.
Treaty, pay for it!
Why?
Because family is greater than country!
Except for a few sober people, everyone else is thinking about how to make money. As for the life and death of the country and the country? It’s none of my business!
Little did they know, these guys dug the hole with their own hands and eventually buried themselves and their descendants in it.
The interest groups of bureaucrats, gentry and merchants in the Song and Ming Dynasties tried their best to hold back the country and channeled the interests into their own small treasury. As a result, the Song and Ming Dynasties were destroyed, and the Jurchen soldiers, Mongolian soldiers and Manchu soldiers who came in easily killed them for several generations.
All the wealth accumulated by people was taken away, and their wives and children were all reduced to slaves.
As for those guys in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was even worse. They personally introduced Western capital power into China, and then the entire Chinese bourgeoisie was destroyed!
Since then, the so-called national bourgeoisie has basically become synonymous with comprador.
The once-prominent Guangzhou Thirteen Banks disappeared into thin air, and the Central Empire, which once accounted for 60% of the world's wealth, fell into the clouds, and even had to be manipulated and taught by Nihong, a thousand-year-old younger brother.
But this is not because they are stupid, but because they are too smart, so smart that they already understood the truth that capital has no borders in feudal society.
But they don’t know that capital does have no borders, but capitalists have a motherland!
Without the strength of the motherland, of course your assets will only be eaten by others.
Therefore, Emperor Taizu later concluded that China’s bourgeoisie was inherently deficient.
In Liu Che's view, not only the bourgeoisie but also the scholar-bureaucrats and noble bureaucracy were all born with deficiencies.
For these guys, the ship with the surname Liu is going to sink, so let’s change it to the one with the surname Cao, what? The one with the surname Cao is no longer good, and the surname Sima seems to be okay... Then change it again?
Finally, they were shocked to find that there seemed to be some monster running out.
The Five Chariots disrupted China, and the land of China sank.
This lesson is profound.
But these guys just focus on eating rather than fighting.
The source of all these tragedies lies in the fact that China's scholar-officials, ministers, ministers and even emperors have, since ancient times, only seen the interests of one family and one surname, and rarely consider the overall relationship between the world and the country.
In other words, even if you know, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, if the sky falls, there will always be someone tall to hold it up.
Let’s just feel free to poach!
But Liu Che decided to break this perception.
Especially as he is the emperor. He knows very well that the interests and authority of the Liu family are of course important!
However, if there is no skin left, how can the hair be attached?
If all the people in the world are in dire straits due to self-interest.
Then, the Liu family's throne will soon be on the verge of collapse.
Protecting the interests of Zhuxia and the lives, property and personal well-being of the people in the world are directly linked to the stability of the Liu family's own throne.
The same is true for scholar-bureaucrats, ministers and princes.
Suppose the world is in turmoil, the people are in dire straits, and weapons are everywhere.
Can these nobles, honorable ministers, and scholar-bureaucrats still have parties in peace?
He was lucky enough not to be dragged out and hacked to death, and his wife, children, and heirs all reduced to rbq.
After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, wouldn't the fate of the Zhao royal family in Bianliang, ordinary noble officials, and common people be the same?
Therefore, when the last coffin was buried in the tomb.
Liu Che stood up from the cart and turned around to face his ministers, nobles, generals and soldiers.
His emperor's crown is pinned in front of his forehead, moving in the wind, and his broad crown is sacred and majestic.
"My ancestor, Emperor Gao, rebelled against the Qin Dynasty and punished the people. Therefore, God has favored me and granted me the mandate of heaven to govern China!" Liu Che slowly said to his officials, ministers, ministers, princes, and members of the royal family: "
Although Qin is unruly, the generals who conquered Vietnam and the generals who garrisoned the Great Wall are not guilty!"
"Not only is he not guilty, he is actually guilty!"
"In the past, King Zhou was unruly, so King Wu attacked the Shang Dynasty. However, Zong Zhou Ran worshiped the ancestors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and his poems and books often praised him endlessly!" Liu Che slowly organized his words and said: "The poem goes: Beat the Yin Wu, and attack the Shang Dynasty vigorously.
Jingchu. Go deep into its obstacles and journey to the Jingjing. You will intercept it and tell the story of Tang and Sun. Since the Three Kings, it is China’s gift to honor the virtuous kings and famous ministers of the past generations and to praise the heroes of the later generations!"
Since the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, China has encountered a major cultural fault.
Now, no one can tell clearly what the Zong Zhou, Yin Shang, and Xia Dynasty's handling methods and attitudes were towards the previous dynasties.
But it doesn't matter.
There are indeed six Yin songs in the Book of Songs.
On top of the books, there are also odes by Chengtang, Wuding, Xia Qi and other ancestors.
Since ancient times, conquering the Yi and Di and expanding the territory for the Xia has been a gentleman's journey praised and praised by our ancestors.
From this perspective, what Liu Che said makes sense.
In this case, Liu Che's behavior today is not an unfair reward or punishment, but an act of respecting the deeds of the three generations of ancestors, praising the virtues of meritorious officials and generals, so as to carry forward future generations and reward them on behalf of heaven.
Even the most rigid Lu Ru couldn't fault Liu Che.
"It is a pity that the Emperor of Qin does not reward meritorious generals. Now that I have been entrusted by Heaven to support and govern the world Yuan Yuan on behalf of Heaven, how can I not reward him?"
Anyway, Qin Shihuang is a scapegoat, no matter what the crime, he can be blamed.
Dead people cannot speak, let alone jump out to refute.
Liu Che looked around and said: "I have read history books and seen the story of Wei Wenhou, and I know how to attach the hair to the general if there is no skin left..."
Liu Che raised his voice: "In my opinion, all the Xia are like skins, the world is like skins, and the ancestral country is like skins. Compared with them, even I am as light as a feather and not worth mentioning!"
Speaking of which, the ancestral stunts of the old Liu family and the 18-level buff of the pretentious magic skill are all fully charged.
Moreover, there is such a thing and only Emperor Liu can pretend it.
No one else dared to open this mouth.
Didn't you see that Mencius' status was directly demoted to the lowest level among Confucian scholars because of the saying "the people are most important and the king is despised", and even in the history of a thousand years, he was not able to turn around?
This topic is indeed somewhat sensitive.
But the Liu family has never been afraid to challenge sensitivities and taboos, and has never even been afraid to speak out publicly and explain their thoughts.
This is a tradition established since Liu Bang.
Back then, Liu Bang re-created a black emperor in Yong County, Weinan, and the people of the world were already aware of the gangster nature of the old Liu family.
During the Taizong period, he even broke the rules and publicly declared that I am the only one who can control the chaos in the world. He then ordered all officials to pray to heaven and pray for blessings first, and pray for the people first, instead of praying for the king.
The posthumous edict even more clearly stated: I am not virtuous and cannot help the people; now that I have collapsed, I have been ordered to wear heavy clothes for a long time, so as to avoid the cold and heat...
And all this not only did not reduce his authority.
Instead, his authority and authority were elevated to a supreme position.
Even the current Liu Che's popularity and support among the people are not as good as that of the emperor.
To this day, the people in Guanzhong still regard the emperor as a "sage". The position of a saint in China is much more important than that of gods.
If gods and other things cannot protect everyone and show their power, then there will be no sacrifices, and sooner or later they will be finished.
But a saint is a perfect being who follows the law when he speaks and the world follows.
It is a supreme symbol far beyond the gods.
An obvious example is that in the vast rural areas of China in later generations, every household has a portrait of Taizu, and many families even hang the portrait of Taizu under the main tablet of the ancestral god to worship together.
Comrade drivers, everyone should always keep Taizu's pendant, using Taizu's power to suppress all disasters on their bodies.
At this time, the Han Dynasty and Taizong's status generally had this image.
In Guanzhong, even an old farmer who has never been literate and has never been to a city must kneel down and kowtow in the direction of Ba Ling during every festival.
No one dares to offend the mountains, rivers and vegetation of Baling.
Liu Che looked at this, his eyes were very hot, and he was actually very jealous in his heart.
Now, I should learn from my grandfather and put the world and the country above myself, thinking that the world and the country are more important than myself, the emperor.
Come to think of it, no one would dare to jump up and shoot him.
No one will take pictures of him.
To be honest, Mencius's theories and thoughts are actually the most caring for the aristocrats and gentry among Confucianism.
As the saying goes, the people are more important than the king.
Who does this citizen refer to?
Even in another two thousand years, China's bureaucrats and capitalists will probably pat their chests and say: Of course it's me.
**** or whatever, if you are obedient, then I will force you to be an honorary citizen.
Well, the kind that only has the right to applaud, but not the right to vote.
But in Liu Che's view, this is also a major progress.
After the emperor admitted that the world and the country were more important than himself, that scumbag dared to jump up and say that home is before the country.
Ten thousand royal trolls are already in place, guaranteed to spray him until he becomes paralyzed!
However, Liu Che understood that this was just the first step.
We want to eliminate the long-established idea of prioritizing family over country, thinking about home first and country later, and replace it with the idea of putting country first and family later, and that national interests and national interests are more important than personal family interests.
There's still a long way to go.
Fortunately, Liu Che has a lot of helpers in this matter.
In particular, the entire Confucian rhetoric group will help him advocate and improve the theoretical system.
Moreover, the heavy-democracy faction in Luoyang has been established for two or three years, which can provide him with some strength to wave the banner.
"Therefore, I use the ceremony of a state funeral to reward the generals and generals of the Qin Dynasty and the Yue Dynasty, and I want to tell the world clearly: I respect the rule of the late king and honor the meritorious officials of the Xia. No matter who they are, anyone who has made contributions to the Xia will be honored.
I will generously reward and seal you!" Liu Che said in a clear voice. (To be continued.)
ps: I have a day off today. I feel very tired recently, and the load on the back of my head and cervical spine has indeed reached a limit~
