Liu Xie agreed with Xun Wenqian and gained a new understanding of Xun Wenqian.
After two years of not seeing each other, Xun Wenqian has matured a lot.
This maturity is not only reflected in the understanding of government affairs, but also in the relationship between them.
She became more calm and could open up to him and tell him some of her true thoughts.
Even if these ideas don't sound so great.
This made him feel very relaxed.
He was tired of fighting with the ministers every day, and he didn't want to go back to the harem and have to make guesses. He was not a moral freak and could not tolerate a little selfishness.
How many people are truly selfless?
He accepted people's selfishness - as long as it was not excessive - more than hypocrisy.
"So, this is the reality." Liu Xie said, with a faint smile on his lips. "Our task is to find a way to satisfy the reasonable requirements of more people based on the overall interests as much as possible."
Xun Wenqian's eyes flashed slightly. "Like Du Tian?"
"Just like Du Tian."
"Like abolishing Shiqing Shilu?"
Liu Xie thought for a moment and nodded again in approval. "It's like abolishing Shiqing Shilu."
"Then..." Xun Wenqian looked at Liu Xie nervously. "Where is the emperor?"
"Emperor?" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Xun Wenqian meant.
Monarchy is the last hereditary privilege, and it is also the greatest hereditary privilege. Compared with Shiqing Shilu, monarchy has changed from co-ownership of the world to imperial power. Not only has it not been weakened, but it has been strengthened, and it naturally lacks legitimacy.
The common master of the world means that the feudal states of the world support you as the common master, so why should the imperial power be based on it?
During the two thousand years of imperial rule, this problem has always troubled the smartest people. They established various theories to explain the rationality of imperial power, but in the end they could not avoid the two sides.
Some people defend it, and some people usurp it.
"Imperial power will also be abolished." Liu Xie scratched his head, but his tone was firm. "It's just not now."
Xun Wenqian stared at Liu Xie's face, not missing the smallest expression.
After half a day, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Xie spoke from his heart. He has an unparalleled detachment, transcending his own identity and looking at this issue from a more rational perspective.
She wanted to ask a few more questions, but when the words came to her lips, she responded with a yes.
The sentence just now was so outrageous that Liu Xie thought about it for a long time before answering. If he continues to ask questions, Liu Xie may not be able to answer, and he may not dare to answer.
If she becomes angry out of shame, she cannot bear the emperor's wrath.
"Why don't you speak?" Liu Xie said with a smile.
"I don't know what to say." Xun Wenqian leaned on Liu Xie's chest again. "I can't imagine what kind of world a world without an emperor would be like. Not even the saints have spoken about it."
Liu Xie laughed. "A saint is also a human being." He paused and then said: "He can't even judge right from wrong even as a child. It shows that he is not born with this knowledge."
"Does Your Majesty know?"
Liu Xie wanted to pretend, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. "Do you still remember what I said to you when we were in Liangzhou?"
Xun Wenqian thought for a moment. "Remember, the higher the mountain, the colder the climate."
"Have you ever wondered why?"
"This... I haven't thought about it."
"Look, if you find a problem but just try to stop it without thinking deeply, how can you make progress?" Liu Xie chuckled twice and stretched out his hand to scratch Xun Wenqian's nose. "It's like the problem of two children debating the sun.
With hundreds of years ahead of us, has anyone seriously thought about the answer?"
Xun Wenqian was stunned.
Liu Xie then added: "You only know how to appreciate Master's character of knowing what you know and not knowing what you don't know, but you don't think about how to seek knowledge. Is this what Master wants? If Master is like this, if you don't ask when you enter the temple, how can you be knowledgeable?
, to create a trend for a generation?"
Xun Wenqian was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "So, there are tens of millions of scholars in the world, but in fact few of them actually follow the teachings of the saints."
"You're right. You can only read dead books. You can talk when you speak, but when you shut up, you can read poems.
What's the use? Only those who receive the teachings of saints, don't limit themselves to scriptures, face reality, and persevere in finding answers can be the true disciples of saints and the top disciples of Confucianism."
Liu Xie finally sighed. "To a certain extent, the party members still have their respectability. At least they dare to act and die as martyrs instead of sitting back and talking. They just don't do well. Compared with
Cynics who do nothing are too powerful."
"Cynic?" Xun Wenqian thought about it for a moment, but did not ask in detail.
These two words are very straightforward and the direction is very obvious. There is no need to ask more questions or look too stupid.
But she subconsciously thought of Liu Biao and Song Zhong and others who studied in Nanyang County.
There was no specific topic between the two, and they chatted wordlessly. They chatted from Nanyang County School to the trip to Liangzhou, from the trip to Liangzhou to Xun Yue's trip to Mount Tai, and then from Xun Yue to Xun Chen.
, talked about the virtues of the Bohai Sea, and finally talked about the land to the west of the Western Regions, which was said to have been conquered by Alexander.
They talked until they felt sleepy and hugged each other to sleep.
Early the next morning, when Xun Wenqian opened her eyes, Liu Xie had already stood up and disappeared. Xun Wenqian blamed herself for sleeping too deeply and failing to fulfill her responsibilities, while getting up to freshen up.
Thinking back to her chat with the Emperor yesterday, the more she thought about it, the more regretful she felt.
She had been exposed to the question of Xun Yue going to Mount Tai to seek answers a few years ago.uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Unfortunately, as the emperor said, she didn't bother to find the answer at all, so she still knows nothing about it.
Just like the question that two children discussed anxiously, hundreds of years later, it is still an unsolved problem.
How can progress be made in this way?
I can't solve such a major issue as the abolition of imperial power, but I can make some efforts on these small issues.
Xun Wenqian was lost in thought for a moment.
When having breakfast with Queen Fushou, Xun Wenqian put forward her own ideas. She wanted to study some specific issues and treat it as a daily pastime.
Fu Shou also found it interesting after hearing this.
Compared to Xun Wenqian, who is busy preparing to build a printing workshop, she has more free time and is more boring. If she can study these issues, she can kill time without doing nothing.
"How do you plan to get started?"
Xun Wenqian smiled and said: "I want to offer a reward."
"Reward?"
"Yes, the sealing workshop will be built soon. I would like to publish a reward in the newspaper. Whoever can give a convincing answer will be rewarded with ten gold coins. Queen, are you interested in participating?"
Fu Shou hesitated.
Although she is a queen, ten gold is not a small amount for her. Unlike Xun Wenqian, she has a printing shop and other sources of income.
Isn't it a bit exaggerated to spend ten gold on a trivial problem?
"I still want to find the answer myself, without asking anyone else."
As soon as Xun Wenqian's thoughts changed, she understood Fu Shou's thoughts. She smiled and said: "Why doesn't the queen take the exams of the great Confucian scholars in Nanyang County? Since they regard themselves as disciples of Confucianism, the master is embarrassed and laughed at by the Taoist sect, so they should share the master's worries.
"
"Is this...appropriate?"
"I think it's appropriate." Xun Wenqian said solemnly: "These are the ways of heaven and earth. If you don't know the ways of heaven and earth, how can you judge people and govern them?"
