Confucianism emphasizes moral education, and the highest level is to cultivate virtue.
To the emperor, Yao and Shun, and to teach the people to be cautious, is the most ideal achievement for scholars.
If this goal can be achieved, the superiors can be called famous officials, and the subordinates can be kept in history.
It’s just a pity that not many people can stick to their ideals. Most of them have ambitions and pride before entering the officialdom. After entering the officialdom, they gradually deviate from their original aspirations. They only care about their own interests, only think about glory and wealth, and become officials.
As for ideals, they turned into a sigh in the middle of the night.
Of course, most people will not think that they have lost their original aspirations, but will only say that human hearts are not as good as the kingly way is difficult to do.
Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi are no exception, but the degree is different.
Suddenly seeing an opportunity to realize their ideals are in front of them, they are naturally moved.
Zhang Xi took advantage of his master's convenience to Huchuquan and asked about the Huns.
After a while, Shi Sunrui and others also came and joined the chat group.
After a while, Zong Zheng Liu Ai, Tingwei Xuanbo and others arrived one after another, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
In fact, Hu Chuquan was flattered by so many ministers, and was so nervous that he was sweating. The same words were said over and over again.
Yang Biao's soldiers, Sun Rui, pulled them aside and asked about the emperor's training.
Shi Sun Rui quietly revealed Song Du's words, which made the emperor angry and sighed repeatedly.
Yang Biao nodded in agreement.
After so much effort, the eunuch was finally eliminated. It was rare that the emperor intended to return the power to the outside court, so he could not cause trouble.
The reason why I made Fu Shou the queen was that I took a fancy to Fu Wan without ambition?
In the harem, interference in politics will inevitably lead to the eunuch being a wise man. It would be better to meet a wise ruler. When encountering a foolish ruler like Xiaohuan and Xiaoling, the eunuch holding the title of the king and holding the heavenly constitution in his mouth, the world will be in chaos.
"Have the emperor ever dealt with Concubine Song?"
"I was pleaded with mercy and was punished to copy the "Biographies of Women" and "Women's Commandments" three-in-one."
Yang Biao's eyes flashed slightly and he almost burst into laughter.
The punishment for copying books is indeed a bit childish.
"Jun Rong, the emperor is wise and kind, but you and me..." Yang Biao stroked his beard and sighed. "If you defeat Wei, Fan, why should you be like this? Governing the country should be both moral and punishment. If you rebel without being punished, you will only know how to do so.
It encourages the ambitions of some people. Look at them, embezzling household registrations, arable land, hoarding goods, and watching the court lack food and clothing, it is simply hateful."
Shi Sun Rui remained silent.
His and Yang Biao's ideas are different. Now that things have come to this, there is no point in arguing.
"What can the emperor do if he wants to use three thousand cavalry to suppress the rebellion of the Xiongnu?"
Shi Sun Rui looked back and led Yang Biao to the distance for a few steps. "This morning, Xu Huang led more than a thousand people to the southeast. If what he expected was not bad, he should have gone to Jiguan.
”
Yang Biao was shocked.
The emperor sent troops out of the camp, but he did not discuss with the ministers.
Logically speaking, his Taiwei was removed, and Shi Sun Rui was not only not promoted to Taiwei, but also his original Taiwei was removed. The emperor wanted to use the troops of the Weiwei camp, and there were only a thousand people, so there was no need to deal with them.
discuss.
But he always felt that this was the result of the emperor's intentional act.
"You mean..."
"The emperor's plan has been decided, and you and I can't stop you." Shi Sun Rui said softly: "Xu Huang goes to Jiguan, so that the enemy in Henoi cannot move in. Zhong Yao and Duan Wei are in Shangdang, and Yuan Shao's journey west is blocked.
There is no one left in Taiyuan, so I plan to ask for an imperial edict to go to Taiyuan. Can Wenxian help me?"
"Do you go to Taiyuan and be the prefect?"
"It doesn't matter whether you are a prefect or not. What is important is to defend Taiyuan and raise food and fodder to prevent accidents." Shi Sun Rui was silent for a moment. "After all, I have worked with the Prince for many years, and I have some old friendships, so maybe it will be easier to do things.
”
Yang Biao thought for a while. "It is also appropriate for the emperor to personally fight for the Northern Army to be the palace. But... In this way, will there be only the left General Yang Feng and the latter General Yang Ding remain in Hedong?"
Shi Sun Rui turned his head to look at Yang Biao, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Did you smell blood?"
Yang Biao's eyes twitched involuntarily and took a breath of cold air.
At sunset, Liu Xie returned to the camp.
Yang Biao and others gathered at the camp gate, watching the emperor rushing lightly under the crowd of a group of knights.
People are like tigers and horses are like dragons, making people feel heroic.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the emperor seemed to have grown a lot taller and stronger, making him extremely heroic.
Yang Biao stepped forward and bowed and shouted in unison.
"I welcome your Majesty to the camp."
Liu Xie turned over and got off the horse, washed up briefly, and asked the minister to enter the account.
The food and drink were ready, and after Liu Xie took his seat, Shangshijian began to transfer dishes. Teams of palace maids and waiters held the dishes into the tent and placed the steaming dishes in front of everyone.
The wine and food are not rich, nor are there any delicacies in the mountains and seas. However, for the king and minister of Liu Xie who have experienced several years of hardship, this is already a rare delicacy. When people smell the aroma of the wine and food, they can't help but shed tears.
Since the six years of Zhongping, they have lived under the threat of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others every day. Life is worse than death, and they are in danger.
Although today's banquet is not rich, it will not be a worry of life.
Emotions are contagious. When one person crys, several people will feel sad.
For a moment, there was a sob in the tent.
Liu Xie was also a little sad.
These are the ministers who followed him through life and death. In the original history, most of these people died for their country.
Although there are various contradictions and differences, they are the last human hearts of the Han Dynasty.
If people think about the Chinese people is not empty talk.
Liu Xie let out a sigh, raised his wine glass, and said loudly: "You guys, since Dong Zhuo's chaos, it has been more than six years since he was in chaos. In the past six years, thanks to your help, he has been able to survive. Today, I drink with you and congratulate you on the chaos.
If you die, the great man will prosper again."
Situ Zhao Wen stood up first and raised his glass with both hands.
"Situ Chen Wen, I will live for Your Majesty. May the world be peaceful and the Han Dynasty prosper again."
The ministers agreed and the atmosphere was warm.
Liu Xie drank it all, filled the wine again, and held it high.
"I am not sensitive and lose my parents at a young age. I rely on the support of you to achieve this today. I hope to revive the old and new things with you, practice the kingly way, and educate. Establish your mind for the heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the people, and inherit the past saints.
The unique skills will bring peace to the ages."
Everyone was excited when they heard this. Even Yang Biao, who had always been steady, was very excited. Xun You, who was rarely exposed, was moved by it.
The kingly way, education, the unique knowledge of saints, and peace for all ages are the long-cherished wishes of Confucians and the great goals they are eager to seek. Now they are spoken by the emperor in person, and their spirits are extraordinary, which is naturally exciting.
"Your Majesty is wise, the king's way can be brought to power, and peace can be expected." The Tingwei Xuanbo shouted.
Everyone agreed, saying long live the mountain.
Situ Zhao Wen took out the line again, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and sent it to him with both hands. "If you change the old and create new things, you should change the era. I am hereby ordered to draw up the year number and ask Your Majesty to decide."
Pei Jun stepped forward, took the memorial, turned around and sent it to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie unfolded and glanced at it. There were six year names written in the dignified Han Li, and the first one looked very familiar.
