A king, governing a country and all people, is obviously essential for governing the country's ideas and strategies.

As a time traveler, does Zhao Dan have any of his own ideas?

OK, not.

After all, Zhao Dan was not a national leader before traveling through time, so why bother with him?

But Zhao Dan is now, so it is necessary to solve this problem of no strategy for governing the country.

Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have one, you can copy it... it’s wrong, you can “use history as a mirror”.

Which dynasty's history is used as a mirror?

Zhao Dan naturally thought of the Han Dynasty.

Of course it was the Han Dynasty.

In later generations, the Chinese nation was also called the "Han people", and this one alone was enough.

However, there were many emperors in the Han Dynasty. Which emperor should be used as a mirror?

If we mention the Han Dynasty, the first emperor that jumped out of everyone's mind must be Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che. Wei Qinghuo Qubing beat the Huns' children, and Li Guangli's expedition to the Western Regions to submit to the tribute. It was so great.

So the question is, was the Han Empire under Emperor Wu of Han the most prosperous period in the Western Han Dynasty?

no.

In terms of the historical achievements of the Chinese nation, Emperor Wu of Han was undoubtedly extremely great and deserved to be known as the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.

However, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, he continued to conquer and conquered the country's corvee service, which led to the economic order of the entire Han Dynasty in the later period, and the people were living in poverty. They were also in chaos in politics, and they also caused such a wise and extinguished incident.

The foundation left by the two wise monarchs of Wen and Jing's rule was squandered by Emperor Wu of Han in this way.

When Emperor Wu of Han passed away, what was left was not a powerful Han Empire, but a Han Empire that was extremely weak, stormy, and even accidentally could lead to disintegration and collapse.

Fortunately, the descendants of Emperor Wu of Han were quite successful. First, Emperor Zhao of Han Liu Fuling renewed his life for the Han Dynasty, and then the Han Dynasty finally ushered in a truly unparalleled master - Emperor Xuan of Han Liu Xun (Liu Bingji).

Emperor Xuan of Han was Zhao Dan who wanted to copy in his heart... No, he was the emperor who "used history as a mirror".

During the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, he worked hard to govern the country, selected talents and appointed talents, reduced the burden on the people, restored and developed agricultural production, and restored the exhausted Han Empire to its vitality again.

In terms of foreign relations, Emperor Xuan of Han joined forces with Wusun to defeat the Huns, directly defeating the Huns and forming the Shanyu together, and could no longer pose a threat to the Han Dynasty. Some of the Huns Huhanye Shanyu led their people to the court to submit their tribute, and did what Emperor Wu of Han did not do.

In addition, Emperor Xuan of Han also pacified the Western Qiang, set up Jincheng to resettle the surrendered Qiang, and set up the Western Regions Protectorate to supervise the Western Regions countries, and officially included the Western Regions into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

"Book of Han·Volume 94 Seconds" says: In the era of Xiaoxuan, he inherited the power of Emperor Wu's attack and made the fortune of the Huns for a hundred years. Because of his destruction and chaos, he was able to do his power and power at the time, and then the Shanyu bowed his head and surrendered, sent his son to the attendant, and he was called a vassal in the Han court for three generations. At that time, the border town was closed, and the cattle and horses were deployed in the wild, and there were no warnings for dogs barking in three generations, and the common people were killed in the battle of war.

The Han Empire began to expand greatly from the time of Emperor Wu of Han, and in the hands of Emperor Xiaoxuan of Han Zhongzong, it truly reached the peak of civil and military achievements.

It is obviously nothing wrong to learn from such an emperor.

What is Emperor Xuan of Han’s ideological strategy? It can be seen from the emperor’s reprimanding his son Emperor Yuan of Han.

"The Han family has its own system, and it is originally mixed with overlords and wise men. How can we just use virtue and education to use Zhou politics?"

The way of overlords is mixed, and these mere five words can incisively summarize the thoughts of Emperor Xuan of Han in governing the country.

What is domineering? Of course, the best spokesperson for domineering is Qin, and Qin is based on the Legalist ideas. Domineering and Legalist are inseparable.

What is the king's way? The king's way has always been the core idea of ​​Confucianism. Since Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi and many other Confucian great powers have attached great importance to the king's way.

Therefore, the saying "The overlord's way is mixed with it" is easy to understand, that is, to emphasize Confucianism and Law, to educate Confucian kingly way, and to expand with the overlordship of the Legalists.

Xunzi in front of Zhao Dan happened to be such a famous master who values ​​Confucianism and Law, and is also a native of Zhao.

Therefore, after traveling through time, Zhao Dan had already sent someone to invite Xunzi early on, but Xunzi has always been vague and doesn't look like he wants to return to Zhao State.

But strangely, just half a month after the victory and defeat in the Battle of Changping, Xunzi resigned from the Lanling Order of Chu State and came to Zhao State with two proud disciples...

Obviously, the great scholar also has the heart to be an official.

But this is easy to understand. After all, "learning literature and martial arts, goods and imperial families", wasn't Confucius traveling around the countries to obtain official positions so that his theory can be useful?

This Xunzi must use it, but before using it, a small theoretical test of testing ability is still essential.

So Zhao Dan didn't say anything nonsense and went straight to the point: "Now all countries are competing for hegemony. In the opinion of the teacher, how should I do it?"

Xunqiu thought for a while and said, "A king is to respect the wise and the king, to value law and love the people and to dominate them, to be profit-oriented and deceitful, to be in danger, to overthrow the power and plot, to perish and peril."

Zhao Dan nodded secretly after hearing this. Sure enough, Xunzi was indeed as the legend said that he was equally important to the king and the king. This trip was not called for the wrong person.

So Zhao Dan asked again: "In the opinion of sir, what is the king and what is the domineering?"

Xunzi replied: "A righteousness is established and king is established, faith is established and hegemony is established, and power is established and heals is destroyed."

Zhao Dan thought for a while and asked again: "Sir, you should know that at the Qinghe Meeting, Fan Sui said the 'Unification of the World'."

Xuncun's expression became serious, he nodded very solemnly and said, "I have heard of something."

What Zhao Dan did not notice was that when he was talking about this with Xunqiu, the two young faces of Li Si and Han Fei, who were sitting behind Xunqiu, both flashed with excitement.

People from the Legalists are born to support the idea of ​​unification.

In fact, since the late Warring States Period, many people have proposed or foreseeed that a unified empire might emerge in the future.

However, as Fan Sui, as a prime minister, openly announced to the world that Qin State had the ambition to annex the world, was really the first of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.

Since its release, Fan Sui's remarks have caused great upsurge in the entire Chinese land. Some people agree, some disdain, and some people scold. In short, the entire ideological world has been in a turmoil. It is said that countless debates and verbal wars are staged every day because of this.

Zhao Dan asked this question just to observe what Xunzi's attitude towards the idea of ​​unification was.

As long as Xunzi can give Zhao Dan a satisfactory answer on this question, he will be qualified in Zhao Dan's opinion.

Once Xunzi passes Zhao Dan's test, then Zhao Dan reserved his position as a lieutenant among the six ministers of Zhao State, even if he found a new master.

How would Xunzi answer?
