Chapter 116 Re-establishment of Feng Shui and Fire
"The emperor...is not as good as Zhou Gong?"
No, it’s not as good as...
In terms of power, even the ten Dukes of Zhou could not compare to the supreme emperor.
But as far as a person is concerned, a person who really wants to rule the world through fire and water. How can he be able to compare with the great achievements of an emperor by quelling chaos and revolting, running the country, divination and making cauldrons, and making rituals and music.
"Dad doesn't want to be Duke Zhou."
"But I want to be a saint!"
Just like... Wang Mang back then.
Everyone's starting point is not the supreme power. It can even be said that the throne that others value so much is just a process for them, not a goal.
Through the state, order is established.
Preface the people and benefit the heirs.
This is the true great achievement of the ages!
He Yan stood up and bowed to Cao Cao: "I understand, kid!"
Cao Cao put his hands on his knees, his chest rose and fell, and his whole body seemed to be roaming in the unrestrained sea of clouds.
Just like Cao Cao used Huo Qubing to suppress He Yan.
In his heart, he has been using Zhou Gong to suppress himself.
Now, rather than saying that he is expressing his ambition towards He Yan, it is better to say that Cao Cao is reminding himself——
If you don't achieve your ambition, you will fight to the death!
"I understand, let's go and have a good chat with them."
"Although there is a mixed bag among them, there are also people with great talents. Chen Changwen is a good example."
Cao Cao already had the intention of expelling the guests.
Obviously, after the blood calmed down, Cao Cao himself felt a little embarrassed——
"Yulang is a child, why should I tell him this?"
"Maybe... I think he is actually the same type of person as me?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There can be no one like me in this world! I, Cao Ah Ma, am the best!"
"..."
He Yan didn't know that Cao Cao had fallen into the trap. He originally wanted to go out, but he vaguely saw a figure waiting at the door.
"Huh? Cao Pi?"
Seeing that Cao Pi was actually willing to give up his daughter-in-law for him, He Yan felt a little bit regretful in his heart and felt that as the elder brother, he needed to compensate Cao Pi.
Money... no.
Love... so disgusting.
By the way! The most important thing for a person is health!
He Yan then turned around and said sadly to Cao Cao: "Dad, there is one more thing."
"I actually met Cao Pi just now at the gate of Nulu."
"Going to that kind of place too much will harm your health. Cao Pi is at a critical stage of his development now. We can't let him have his foundation damaged, suffer from Shaoyang, or shorten his lifespan because of this."
"Why don't you go and break his legs?"
The conscience of heaven and earth, He Yan is really doing it for Cao Pi this time!
In order to prevent Cao Pi's body from suffering further losses, He Yan had no choice but to make this move.
"Pi ah~ I hit you physically and it hurts my heart. You must understand my brother's painstaking efforts!"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes when he heard He Yan's words: "Oh?"
"Yulang, go out first and call Cao Pi in!"
Now that He Yan knew what Cao Cao was thinking, he naturally walked in a windy manner, which was completely different from the decadence just now. This made Cao Pi, who saw He Yan at the door again, look puzzled: "He Yan, what kind of magic medicine did dad give you? What's the change?
So big?"
"It is indeed a panacea, and you have it too."
He Yan happily hugged Cao Pi. This sudden concern made Cao Pi blush and jump away: "Ouch! What are you doing~~"
"fine."
He Yan shook his head a few times and said: "Go in, there are gifts prepared by father for you."
Cao Pi smiled very happily: "Okay! I'll go in and take a look!"
After Cao Pi entered, Cao Jie happened to be wandering around in the courtyard. When he saw He Yan, he immediately pounced on him: "He Yan! Take me to play!"
"Not today."
He Yan shook his head and asked: "Also, you should not give Cao Pi acupuncture in the next few days."
"Why?"
Just as Cao Jie asked the question, he heard Cao Pi wailing.
Then came the second and third sounds.
He Yan sighed: "Understood?"
Cao Jie nodded fearfully: "I understand..."
——————
——————
After He Yan came out of Cao Cao's residence, he went to the back hall to pay respects to Mrs. Yin, and then came to Chen Qun's house in the afternoon.
"Marquis Shen seems to have figured it out."
"It's not that I figured it out, I just went to meet someone."
Chen Qun's eyes lit up: "How do you say that?"
"There's nothing to say, you don't understand him."
"He just asked me to tell you that he will not break the original agreement."
He Yan didn't dwell on this matter for too long, and directly asked Chen Qun's goal: "What are you going to do?"
Chen Qun didn't expect He Yan to be so straightforward and eager, so he could only reply with a little embarrassment: "I haven't thought about it yet."
"..."
He Yan suddenly felt that Cao Cao and his allies were extremely unreliable.
We have goals and a program, but no plan?
The limitations of the aristocratic family are clearly exposed in their actions.
"If Brother Changwen doesn't mind, I will have an opening."
Chen Qun blinked, obviously surprised by the speed of He Yan's integration: "I would like to hear the details."
"Abandon prophecies and establish new learning."
Ideology is important.
If he continues to practice Confucian classics to govern the world and believe in prophecies, then the Liu family will be the absolute co-owner of the world, and there is no possibility of others coveting him.
After all, this system has been the ruling tool of Emperor Liu since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it is also an exclusive tool.
Wang Mang tried to use this set of tools directly for his own use, but it turned out that what was not his was not his after all. Wang Mang's attempt to change the world could only end up hurting himself and a large number of followers who were willing to follow Wang Mang to transform the world.
Especially after Liu Xiu reestablished the Han Dynasty, he discovered the usefulness of this set of tools. For this reason, he did not hesitate to abolish the ancient scriptures that had emerged at that time, and insisted on keeping this set of tools in the hands of the Han Dynasty, so that the Han Dynasty could continue to prosper.
The 200-year-old Dinghai Needle.
Just like Zhou Gong established rituals and music and wiped out the rules of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. In today's world, the rules of the Han Dynasty must also be wiped out. We can't pick up people's wisdom. Otherwise, there will be Wang Mang in front and Yuan Shu in the back. These two
All are good examples.
When Chen Qun heard what He Yan said, he became interested: "How to do this?"
"It's just a matter of grafting ideas onto others."
"Today's prominent learning is nothing more than modern classics and ancient classics."
"Even if the Earth Feng Shui Fire is to be re-established, it cannot be created out of nothing. It must develop and continue along the previous framework, so that it can be born smoothly."
Nothing can be like a tree without water, otherwise it will not stand at all and will be broken by a light poke.
Naturally, He Yan, Chen Qun and the others couldn't just come up with a set of theories out of thin air... After all, even the "Ancient Classics" with doubtful origins had to pretend to be ancient books of sages dug out of ruins, right?
"The theory of Jinwen Jingxue and Zhenwei is that there is me in you and you in me. The two cannot be separated, so we can only start from the ancient scriptures."
In fact, the biggest difference between ancient classics and modern classics at the beginning was that they did not believe in prophecies.
But later Liu Xiu needed to insert prophecy tools into the ancient classics, and all the ancient scholars could only hold their noses and recognize it. If they didn't recognize it, like He Yan's maternal grandfather's grandfather Yin Min, then they just recognized it.
You may never get a promotion in your life.
Any theory must serve the current world.
Liu Xiu was able to mix prophecies into ancient Chinese classics, and He Yan and Chen Qun were also able to mix other things into this ancient Chinese classics!
Anyway, they are all stuffing private goods, it just depends on whose stuff is more in line with the development of the times.
"Ancient Classics?"
Chen Qun became more and more interested in He Yan's words.
"Is Marquis Shen interested in doing this?"
"no!"
He Yan scolded Chen Qun sharply.
After all, everyone is one of our own, and He Yan doesn't pretend to be a grandson like Chen Qun.
He and Chen Qun are now allies, not masters and servants, so He Yan does not need to lower his stance.
"Neither you nor I are qualified."
"The person who can accomplish this must be a great scholar of Confucian classics!"
"Only when such a great scholar completes this matter can it be regarded as the most practical first step. Otherwise, if others propose it, they will only be heretics!"
In this first step, you must behave yourself!
If there are no rules, there is no reason.
If you don't make sense, no one will believe you.
If everyone doesn't believe in you, then your efforts will be in vain, and any efforts you make will be just a lie to yourself.
Chen Qun also quickly searched for such a great scholar in his mind.
After thinking for a long time, a name finally came to mind.
"Marquis Shen, I really do have such a person to choose from."
"What a coincidence, I also thought of someone, but I don't know if you and I are thinking of the same person?"
Chen Qun clapped his hands and laughed: "This is simple! You and I write this person's name on our palms at the same time and see if they are consistent!"
He Yan, Chen Qun quickly wrote the names in his hand with a brush, and then spread them out at the same time.
I saw the same name written on both of their palms——
Hua Xin!
The two looked at each other and smiled: "No one is more suitable than him!"
He Yan chose Hua Xin because he knew that this future great scholar had done more than one harmful thing.
Apart from anything else, when Cao Pi ascends to the Zen throne in the future, it will be this Hua Ziyu who will preside over it.
Later, Hua Xin became the three princes of Cao Wei and the head of Cao Wei's officials.
By the way, it was Hua Xin Hua Ziyu who rushed into the palace, pulled out Empress Fu's disheveled hair, and killed her.
…
Chen Qun chose Hua Xin for the same reason as He Yan.
As the head of the Chen family in Yingchuan, Chen Qun actually knows many secrets of the world.
In the fifth year of Zhongping, when Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, attempted to depose Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the world only knew that Xu You and others were involved. But they did not know that Wang Fen actually found Hua Xin and Tao Qiu and wanted to recruit them into the gang.
Although Hua Xin and Tao Qiu refused, the reason was not the respect for the Han Dynasty, but Hua Xin felt that Wang Fen was unreliable, so he told Tao Qiu: "The deposing of the emperor is such a major event that even Yi
Yin and Huo Guang are both in trouble. Wang Fen has a rough temper and has no strategy. This matter will definitely fail. Not only will he be killed, but it will also harm the clan. Let's not get involved..."
Anyone who can say such things is not a filial son or grandson of the Han Dynasty, so Chen Qun feels that Hua Xin is... reliable! He can handle it!
