Chapter 853: The Context of Confucianism

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Luo Zhaoyun gradually fell into deep thought. He had no detailed plan for how to use Confucianism and how much it was used. However, after hearing the Huangmen Assistant Minister's remarks, he felt that it was time to face up to this topic.

To conquer the world in troubled times, it requires strong troops, strong military talents, sufficient food and supplies. Once the battle is completed and approaches unification, how to govern the world will become a key decision.

Many peasant uprisings were in the limelight for a while, but were eventually eliminated because of the lack of political program, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Huang Chao Rebellion, the Fang La Rebellion of Song Jiang, the Li Zicheng Rebellion, the Tianping Rebellion, etc. If you don’t have enough eyes, even if you expand your territory, you will be prosperous and declining and collapse soon.

Dahua needs his own governance philosophy. How to absorb the old ancient laws and future policies and grasp a certain degree is what Luo Zhaoyun should consider. He cannot completely use the Sui, Tang, Song and Ming systems, nor will he use the future political system too early, and needs to be mixed. As for Confucianism, it must be used, but cannot be expanded wirelessly.

"At present, Confucianism has declined, what are the other characters? What is the development context?" Although Chen Luo has a rough impression of Confucianism, the specific information is not completely clear.

Xiao Yu was very knowledgeable, so when he talked about it, he said it all: "Your Majesty, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even the Sui courts of the previous dynasties were all periods of Confucian culture decline. As we all know, Confucianism rose from the Western Han Dynasty and became a deified Eastern Han Dynasty, but it went to a dead end of prophecy and divination. The Yellow Turban Uprising broke the myth of "the divine empowerment of the imperial power", which greatly exposed the deceptiveness of Confucianism at that time and its status plummeted."

"By the influence of wars during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, coupled with the rise of metaphysics, Buddhism, Taoism, the integration and intersection of Han and ethnic minorities, and the exchange of Western cultures, Confucianism lost its former status of supremacy. However, in the political field, Confucianism is still the support of the monarch and ministers and the country and the regime. Even some Hu kings of minorities are still respecting Confucius and relatives of Confucianism in the end, because this system is the most gentle and effective, and it will bind the ministers and the people, and do things according to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and the world will be much more peaceful."

"In the previous Sui Dynasty, some great Confucians proposed the idea of ​​"the combination of the three religions into Confucianism", also known as "the unity of the three religions", and advocated the main focus of Confucianism and absorbing the principles of Buddhism and Taoism to meet the needs of nobles and commoners. Among them, the most famous Confucian representative was Niu Hong, who served as the Minister of Rites, requested to build the Mingtang and establish the ritual and music system; he was also ordered to compile a hundred volumes, and Confucianism was revived from then on. Later, Emperor Wen conquered Shandong Yixue scholars, Ma Guang, Zhang Zhongrang, Kong Long, Dou Shirong, Zhang Heinu, and Liu Zuren, and were also awarded the Ph.D. of the Imperial Academy. At that time, the people were called Six Confucians. However, because Emperor Yang ascended the throne, he could not listen to these Confucian remarks, so he was deposed from the center to the local area."

"That's it. I heard that Emperor Wen was not happy with Confucianism and was dedicated to the reputation of punishment. Is this a matter?" Before Luo Zhaoyun traveled through time, he had just studied in the history department for a year. I remember that when he was in the Sui and Tang classes, his mentor mentioned a sentence, which recorded that Emperor Wen was not happy with Confucianism. Of course, that was a one-man statement when Wei Zheng made the Sui Book. After research, later scholars believed that Wei Zheng was deliberately smearing the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

Because Emperor Wen of Sui was born into a noble family in the Guanlong gentry group, he entered the Imperial Academy to be influenced by Confucianism since he was a child. After ascending the throne, he pointed out in his edict that "the way of Confucianism teaches people, teaches people, knows the meaning of father, son, monarch and minister, knows the order of superiority, inferiority, and old age, appreciates the court and takes office, so he can praise the current affairs and promotes the style." Unfortunately, his son Yang Guang did not continue to abide by it.

Xiao Yu said jokingly: "Emperor Wen still attaches great importance to Confucianism and constantly improves its status. He also takes Confucianism's idea of ​​diligence in politics and loves the people as his ruling philosophy. He has taken many measures in Confucianism: respect Confucius and value Confucian scholars; compiles Confucian classics; worships classics and rituals, and promotes education. The country's fortunes in the Sui Dynasty were short of its predecessors, but these measures of respect were very effective at that time, winning over scholars, promoting virtue and stabilizing rule."

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly. After some discussion with Xiao Yu, he had a preliminary understanding of the current development context and situation of Confucianism. When he talked with several great scholars in detail in two days, he would also have basic common sense, targeted, listen to their demands and suggestions, and then make choices by himself.

After Xiao Yu, the Huangmen Assistant Minister, said goodbye, Luo Zhaoyun stood up, stretched, and walked out, looking at the quiet sycamore trees in the courtyard, the fragrance of the flowerbed was pleasant, the bright moon was hanging high, the night was like water, and there was a unique view.

"The silver candle is cold in autumn, and the light Luo fan is blowing into the fireflies. The night in the sky is as cool as water. Lying on the morning glory and weaving actresses!" Luo Zhaoyun sighed softly, and couldn't help but recite a poem. In recent years, there have been more golden swords and iron horses, but he has lost the mood of poetry and elegance.

Since I was a teenager, I have been traveling through time for more than ten years. I seem to have never stopped and fought continuously. I have become a little numb in my iron-blooded career, but it seems that I have reached the last moment to conquer the world. To complete this task, how to organize resources, how to repair broken mountains and rivers, and deal with the dark waves in the court, can I become a wise monarch?

Shen Luo fell into deep thought, his eyes were deep, he stared at the moonlight, and stood for a long time until a beautiful figure walked beside him.

"It's getting late, it's time to rest." The woman's voice was not very gentle, but the meaning of concern was beyond words.

Shen Luo turned his head and looked at the woman under the moonlight. She was tall, graceful, and wearing a green long skirt. She didn't have much expression, but her facial features were delicate, she looked as if she was ashamed of the moon and flowers. Her neck was as beautiful as a white swan. The moonlight shone on her body, and her skin was as bright as jade light, as clear and refined as the worldly.

"Qingshuang, do you feel tired if you follow me around to fight and run around?" Shen Luo suddenly asked.

Gu Qingshuang glanced at him. He has always been a man with great opinion and clear goals. He never dragged on the mud, but today he seemed to feel some inexplicable emotion.

"Do you want to listen to the truth?"

"certainly!"

Qingshuang looked calm and her eyes were soft, and she said, "I'm a little tired, but it's also fulfilling. It's much more meaningful than my actions at the beginning. I feel like I'm doing big things too!"

"Haha, you are indeed doing big things, we will create history again!" Luo Zhaoyun chuckled and felt proud.

"But, being able to do things by your side is more worth caring about than doing something big!" Qingshuang said lightly. Although she did not act coquettishly or pleased, a plain sentence could indeed reflect her true thoughts in her heart. Following her beloved is what she values ​​most. She actually doesn't care whether she is doing something big.

Luo Zhaoyun was stunned when she heard this, and then her heart felt warm. She stared at her proud body, and there seemed to be a sensation of evil fire in her belly. She smiled slightly and said, "Tonight, I don't want to do anything except that thing. No matter how big the matter is, it will be stranded..."
