Chapter 22 The way to build a country!
In fact, Liu Xuande had an opportunity without the early stages, but he just gave it up easily.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was named Anxi County Guard of Dingzhou. Don’t think that this position is too small. In fact, the county guard is the highest military commander in a county and controls the county soldiers of a county.
Even in the future, many of the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and many of them were either county magistrates or county magistrates.
And the person who beat the supervisor was not Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei himself.
At the beginning, if he had not acted so aggressively, he would have been more clever in dealing with it. However, he would have had a place to survive and would have been nervous for the first half of his life.
It was not that it would have been almost made to have Cao Cao almost unified the north and began to go south to compete for power, so he seized the opportunity to occupy a piece of territory...
By that time, to be honest, Zhuge Wuhou's Longzhong would not have a high chance of realization.
However, Liu Shengzhi was completely different. Without wasting any opportunity, he had already occupied the Shu area, Guanzhong and Jingzhou mentioned in Longzhong.
And the strategic situation is much better than Liu Xuande!
Liu Xuande encountered two powerful opponents, and the strategic situation was extremely bad. Sun Quan of Jiangzuo was eyeing him, Cao Wei in the north was unified, and his troops were strong.
What Liu Shengzhi is now encountering is the division of Jiangzuo and chaos, and the aristocratic families are always eager for Liu Shengzhi to send troops to rescue him.
The core area of the northern Central Plains has become a ruin and has no powerful opponents.
And the Later Yan and Tuoba clans are now both in the defeat, far from being stronger than Cao Wei.
This strategic environment is much better, so the Han family's Dragon Court dared to take advantage of Liu Shengzhi's hand.
Even saying that Liu Shengzhi is already 60 to 70% sure of winning the world.
It can even be said that as long as Liu Shengzhi himself does not make any fatal mistakes, the world will be settled.
Therefore, at this time, Emperor Guangwu slowly said: "I am not worried about you winning the world, but other places still want to remind you."
Liu Shengzhi nodded and said, "It is difficult to conquer the world. It is even more difficult to defend the world!"
Guangwu smiled, and it would be best if Liu Shengzhi understood this principle. However, he still had to say something. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Do you know why the former Han died?"
This former Han Dynasty certainly refers to the Western Han Dynasty. After thinking about it, Liu Shengzhi suddenly realized something, combined with Emperor Guangwu's lifelong experience, he said: "Confucianism!"
"Yes, the former Han Dynasty was destroyed by Confucianism!"
When the former Han Dynasty was first established, it faced a problem of legitimacy.
Since ancient times to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all countries have inherited the ancient feudal division. Never, like Emperor Gaozu, has ever been a stake in the world...
This faces a question of legitimacy and a question of how to interpret it theoretically.
Therefore, in the early Han Dynasty, there was a question of whether Emperor Gaozu established the Han Dynasty to usurp the throne or revolution.
This revolution means Shang Tang’s revolution to transform the destiny!
It was not until later that the theory of revolution was supported by the emperor that the theory of usurping the throne was seized by force.
However, later, this theory became a double-edged sword, a powerful weapon to deal with the former Han Dynasty.
In the late Han Dynasty, Confucianism made great contributions, believing that the Han emperor had lost his virtues, and then at a new revolution, even believed that the Han people should abdicate to those with virtues!
Therefore, in order to deal with it, Emperor Ai of Han even created a farce that abdicated himself.
Later generations seemed to be farce, and had profound meanings at that time.
That is to say, I admit that my Han family should abdicate, but the virtuous person is still me.
However, this is the opening. Since you have given yourself abdication, those things show that you also admit that the Han family has lost their morality.
In this way, the iconic Confucian figures were found. Wang Mang, who had almost all virtues in accordance with the standards of a saint, accepted the abdication of the Han family and seized the world.
Although Wang Mang was a mess in governing the country, he strictly followed the Confucian classics and governed the country. He transformed the world according to the ideal model recorded in the Book of Rites...
But it's all over...everyone knows what happened later.
Therefore, Emperor Guangwu, who rose to the future, was a Confucian scholar in the Imperial Academy. He was eager to learn all his life and never wrote down the books. He even did not give up poetry and books while marching and rushing to develop Confucianism and cultivate scholars and Confucian scholars.
Then the Eastern Han Dynasty rose again, and Confucianism changed accordingly, and completely promoted loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness. Therefore, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, scholars honed their integrity and righteousness and were loyal to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Even in the end, countless heroes who read Confucian books have been intent on saving the nation.
Even Cao Cao himself was determined to save the Han Dynasty. When he said that the tombstone was engraved with Cao Cao, the general of the Han Dynasty's Western Expedition, was very thoughtful...
But it is no longer the same as the Western Han Dynasty, when Confucianism wished to change the dynasty immediately.
This is similar to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, and countless people still loyal to the Southern Song Dynasty. After Yashan, there were 100,000 Confucian scholars who jumped into the sea to sacrifice their country.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen's ringing of Jingyang bell ignored...
There is a profound truth in this. Emperor Guangwu didn't explain it clearly, but he believed that Liu Shengzhi was a smart man and could figure it out himself.
"My Liu family and the wise men of the world rule the world together!" Liu Shengzhi said slowly.
"How about the imperial family lose their power in this way?"
"How can the world be the best of both worlds? I should set up a cabinet so that the heroes of the world can compete in the cabinet, and the emperor will sacredly huddle to mediate it!"
"good!"
Seeing that Liu Shengzhi had already made a successful conclusion, Guangwu smiled and said nothing about two things, that was the powerful family.
However, this is just one and Confucianism. Liu Shengzhi had already had experience after the Sui and Tang Dynasties to solve it.
"So humane and worry-free!"
"But what trouble is there in the Yin Shi Divine Way?" Liu Shengzhi knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, and immediately asked.
Guangwu nodded gently and smiled, and said slowly: "The world will change in three hundred years and a big change in a thousand years.
Since the collapse of the ancient heaven, it has been a big change for a thousand years!
Now the great change is coming, both variables and disasters. All the ancient ghosts hidden without traces are about to be born. But you are careful!"
When Liu Shengzhi heard this, although he was mentally prepared, he still suppressed his heroic spirit just now.
"My son wants to revive the Han Dynasty, and remember to be alert to that Huang Shenyue!"
"Yes!" Liu Shengzhi Zheng pointed at the key point. This was one of the most powerful enemies of the Han family in the Shinto.
Last time I had the opportunity to meet, I was really powerful. Liu Shengzhi naturally knew to be vigilant!
This is often the case in this world. The stronger you are, the different circles you are in, the friends and enemies you meet will be equally strong.
