"This makes me embarrassed to kill them!" Zhao Bing listened to Wang Yinglin's words "pointing to the mulberry and scolding the locust". How could he not understand the meaning of the words, and said with a smile in his heart. But Zhao Bing also felt depressed. To be honest for so many years, he still couldn't adapt to dealing with those Confucian ministers and everyone was not disgusted with them, but felt tired.

These people never speak directly, but instead express their meaning in a roundabout way. For him, a science man who is only qualified in Chinese, it is no different from clenching his fists and letting him guess. Therefore, when speaking to them, you must listen to them in a twelve-point sense to figure out the "connotation" and understand the "meaning" in it, so as not to misunderstand, causing misunderstandings and unnecessary disputes. But when you think about it, Zhao Bing also understood it.

As the saying goes, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger." If you don't make a good sentence annoys the emperor. In the mild case, you will lose your official position and get sent back to your hometown. In the severe case, you will kill the heads of the nine clans and fall to the ground. Therefore, in order to avoid disaster, these ministers naturally have to talk about strategies. They should be extremely careful when giving advice to the emperor. They should point out mulberry and scold the locust, and use the past to describe the present as a pediatrician, and they are all masters when playing gongs and drums. As for what they want to express, it is like a primary school Chinese teacher who finishes a text and asks you to summarize the central idea yourself.

"Your Majesty is wise. This Northern Expedition will regain thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, regain the old capital, save the country from danger, save the people from water and fire, and revive our Song Dynasty. The contribution is comparable to that of Taizu's founding." Wang Yinglin was told through the emperor's thoughts, and his old face turned red, but he also understood the emperor's meaning and secretly happy in his heart to give him a praise.

"Haha, how dare I compare with Taizu? As long as I don't get scolded as the First Emperor!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked him to avoid the tribute, and said dryly. He cursed in his heart, just say it well if you praise me, and you have to knock me with a stick. Comparing me to Taizu is nothing more than just reminding yourself not to forget the ancestral teaching of "ruling the world with scholars and officials."

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you must be as famous as Emperor Taizong of Tang!" Wang Yinglin was stunned when he heard this, but then politely said.

"Haha, I can't bear it either!" Zhao Bing was also stunned. He knew that according to the convention, he would either carry out the three ancient sages of Yao, Shun and Yu, or move out the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu, and other old emperors. But he lifted Emperor Taizong of Tang out to knock himself alone, which would have a different meaning. He pondered and smiled and blocked him.

Just now, Zhao Bing beat Wang Yinglin and should not be too optimistic. I have the courage of Qin Shihuang. One of the major things that Qin Shihuang did was to "burn books and bury scholars". At this moment, he would definitely think about what the "holy intention" was. It was a warning to him, and the Confucian scholar group should not do too much, otherwise I would not abandon the prime minister, but could change horses. In addition, I would not care about the false reputation that was left in history, and I don't have to use those to threaten me. I am not afraid!

It has been more than ten years since he came to this world. Zhao Bing has also been taught by many famous scholars and great scholars. He cannot be said to be well-versed in history and the present, but he also knows some basic knowledge and understands that Confucianism is actually not the only strategy to govern the country.

After Qin unified the six kingdoms, Qin Shihuang adopted the county system and replaced the feudal system, laws, measurements, texts and even chariots. The new destiny was established with the emperor's title and the five virtues, and the emperor also fulfilled the religious responsibility of Fengshan. The Legalists were established as the orthodox idea of ​​the empire, calling on the whole country to "take officials as teachers" and learn the law. The weapons were collected, melted and recast into the Jin people and placed them in the heart of the empire. The emperor went around to inspect the empire's territory. The heavy farming and farming, as a proven effective policy, was promoted to the entire empire's field.

The system of the empire seems to have been established. "Although Qin is an old country, its destiny will be renewed." The empire under the reform will break out of the fateful cycle of "fighting endlessly" under the feudal system. The tragedy of the usurpation of King Wu's attack on Zhou will no longer be staged. Under the maintenance of the new system, the empire will gain inner confidence and fight against the Northern Hu and Nanman with a strong and unified attitude, "passing endlessly."

The satisfied emperor used Li Si's handwriting to erect stone tablets across the country, praising this world-building initiative in history, "remembering the troubled times, dividing the country, and building the country, and fighting each other. Heavy battles are done every day, bleeding in the wild, starting from the ancient times. There are no thousands of people in the world, and no one can ban it. But the emperor, who is a whole world, will never start a war. Disasters are eliminated, and the benefits of Guizhou will be restored for a long time."

However, Confucian scholars were singing the opposite tune. At the beginning of the founding of the country, they suggested to the emperor that they should be "divided with the same surname and suppressed them." They advocated that "those who do not learn from the past and can last forever are not what they hear." In fact, in this regard, Zhao Bing believed that although Confucian scholars were conservative,

There will be no big mistake, because their world is more real and therefore stronger than pursuing an illusory future. The old form produces an old force pattern, and the old force pattern also calls for the old form. They gain each other and form a stable historical cycle, which is called reincarnation.

Therefore, for the bold actions of the Qin Empire, Confucian scholars would definitely think that "politicians are too confident and want to use their own opinions to strengthen the world and follow them, without knowing the harshness of their current corruption and the deeper disaster." However, he also thought that history has its own inertia. However, inertia does not represent the general trend. If the Qin Empire succumbed to inertia, it may not be impossible to enjoy the national destiny of hundreds of years like the three generations, but it may not be able to achieve the first unified unification in history. And when they become obstacles to historical development, the consequences of being suppressed are inevitable.

After the Han Dynasty got rid of all the old burdens, the land of China was lightly launched in the form of a newly built Han Empire. This empire truly deepened the system of governing the state that had been used for more than two thousand years. Therefore, the Qin system in the sense commonly used later generations is more of a Han system than a Qin system. Zhao Bing thought that Qin only determined the superficial work of various system designs, while Han truly gave the inner soul of the official system.

The rule of the Han Dynasty, whether it is Huang Lao, Confucianism inside or outside, or pure Confucianism, these situations can be clearly seen by people at that time. As observers of later generations, if only know the facts that people at that time can know, then this superficiality is the result of a lack of sensitivity to facts. The dilemma it brings is to turn a blind eye to the huge hidden lines of the era of great change and attribute some more profound things to the preferences of a few rulers. The situation is different, and what is important is not the specific measures, but the overall context and situation outlined by the measures.

Therefore, Zhao Bing believed that the true and most valuable argument of the Han system came from Emperor Xuan of Han, who revived the Ming lord. Emperor Xuan's prince, that Emperor Yuan of Han, believed that Emperor Xuan's punishment was too severe and suggested that he appointed more Confucian scholars. Emperor Xuan of Han was furious and that the Han family had their own laws, which was a combination of domineering and kingly way. Why should we pay attention to moral education alone and imitate the system of the Zhou Dynasty? Moreover, ordinary Confucian scholars do not know current affairs and like to use ancient and modern times to confuse metaphysical names and realities, and do not know how to make correct judgments. Where is it worthy of entrusting important tasks. Emperor Xuan of Han even asserted that the one who decayed the Han family in the future would be Emperor Yuan of Han.

Emperor Xuan of Han had several meanings: the Han system is a combination of domineeringness and kingly way. This system runs through from the beginning and is not founded by Emperor Xuan of Han himself. Moral education should not be ignored, but it must be limited. The system of the Zhou Dynasty is not in line with the current social reality. The Han governance focuses on reality rather than temple theory. Confucian scholars should be used with caution if they lack administrative abilities.

In summary, it can be seen that the Han family took a path of thoroughly governing the country, which was a continuation of the Qin system, not the restoration of the Zhou system. On the surface, the Huang-Lao Confucian and Legalists were just embellishments and means. The feudal use of Confucianism at the founding of the country was just a strategic approach to retreat. Under this steady policy, the administration of officials made the country truly stable.

Therefore, Zhao Bing understood that although the Han Empire established its family by opposing the Qin system, even if it adopted a more harsh approach than the Qin system in its behavior, it could avoid moral condemnation for at least a period of time. However, when such condemnation was finally inevitable, the empire had mastered the means of control and suppression. This hidden political routine happened very concealedly, but it was the foundation for the survival of the new empire.

However, the Confucian scholars also got their clues at this time. They were extremely stubborn during the Qin Empire. Confucian intellectuals who opposed the new system became fanatical defenders of the new system in the Han Dynasty. The terms "great unification" and "harmony between man and nature" they proposed far exceeded the theoretical heights that the orthodox Legalists could achieve during the Qin Empire. Thoughts did not determine location, but location determined ideas. Their participation made up for the moral dilemma of the naked Legalist state, allowing any change in political struggle to obtain a rational explanation, and used this to limit the authority of the monarch. In these cases, Confucianism actually became a Confucianism that governed the country.

After entering the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism began to be valued, but it also had historical reality. In fact, the three religions all achieved great development in the Tang Dynasty. Buddhism emphasizes Zen, Taoism emphasizes metaphysics, Confucianism emphasizes classics and the prototype of the study of mind and nature. Their development is actually a continuation of the discussion on metaphysics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Confucianism advocates that rituals and Ming does not violate human nature, so it must be civilized.

Taoism advocates the opposite; when the two schools discussed the Five Barbarians invaded China, both schools lost the social basis of discussion. At this time, the Buddhist theory of emptiness has broken the existence and non-existence, and both are empty, so they take advantage of the momentum to enter; it is impossible to last without breaking it.

The Taoist emphasis on metaphysics emerged, breaking through the existence of the existence of the existence of the existence of the existence of the existence of the existence of the arts and the absence of the space, and returning to social reality. With the arrival of great unification, human beings still need civilization. Therefore, Confucianism, which represents the ritual and Ming Dynasty, was revived in the Tang Dynasty, and its thoughts gradually became mainstream...
