Chapter 538

Zhao Bing did not object to the implementation of benevolent politics, governing the country with benevolence, and benefiting the people, but he also had to distinguish when. But there is no need to say much about the current strength of the Mongols, and the state of conducting dynasties is also here. To emphasize benevolence and righteousness in this troubled times is equivalent to putting oneself in a condom first, and it is difficult to let go of one's actions. In this state, dealing with powerful enemies is tantamount to taking millet from fire. However, these scholars in the court were immersed in etiquette for too long and too deep, and their actions were based on the words of these saints as the criterion, and they used this to demand themselves everywhere. Even the strictness of the always "enlightened" can be completely escaped.

Today, Ying Jieyan has used Zhou Gong Ji Dan as an example to teach him a lesson, Zhao Bing seized the opportunity to have a good chat with him, and wanted to destroy the unattainable position of these sages in their hearts from an academic perspective. Of course, he could not help but dig out their dark history, hug the "shameful" things these people have done, and pull them off from the altar. However, this method can be regarded as the way of others to treat others.

"Sir, I think Weizi's move to join the Zhou people is right or wrong?" Zhao Bing had plans, so he naturally had to discuss it with one stick. After a little slowdown, he asked again.

"Of course it is a great act!" Ying Jieyan said without hesitation, "In the late Shang Dynasty, King Zhou was unrighteous, extravagant and extremely lustful, tyrannical and bloody killing, which led to the rebellion of his relatives and the country's power declined. Weizi repeatedly advised him but was not adopted, so he ran away fearing disaster. Moreover, after Weizi was founded, he was even more diligent monarch, loved by the people of Yin."

"I admire Weizi's way of governing the country, but I do not agree with his abandonment of the country and leaving!" Zhao Bing shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty think there is something wrong with it?" Ying Jieyan hesitated and asked back.

"I think the dispute between King Zhou, Emperor Xin and Wei Ziqi is not a difference in the governance concept, but a struggle for the throne between brothers. Moreover, his purpose of fleeing to Zhou was to seize the throne with the power of Zhou, but he did not want to become an accomplice of the Zhou people and destroy the country. However, he did not want to restore the country, but instead accepted the gifts of the Zhou people to help them appease the Yin people. What's the difference between selling out the country!" Zhao Bing said, "If I were like this, I would have been drowned by everyone's spit."

"Well, according to what Your Majesty said, there is indeed something wrong with it." Ying Jieyan thought about it and said.

He also knew this history that, according to the inheritance method of "brothers and brothers" in the Shang Dynasty, Weizi, Jizi, and Bigan were the closest to the throne. Especially Weizi, who was the eldest son of Emperor Yi, was the most promising to be emperor. Moreover, when Emperor Wuyi was reigned, some ministers did support Weizi. However, the imperial party, which was named Taishi, supported Emperor Xin because Emperor Xin was the legitimate son. According to the etiquette system established by Emperor A, the legitimate inheritance system was the core, first the eldest son, second son, third son, etc., and after the legitimate son, they were arranged in age order, including the eldest son, the second son, etc.

In fact, Wei Zi and Emperor Xin were brothers of his mother and father, but when Wei Zi gave birth to Wei Zi, his mother was a concubine, not a queen, so he was a concubine son; when Emperor Xin was born, his mother was a queen, so Xin was the legitimate son. Therefore, the Grand Historian argued that "A son with a wife, you should not be a son of a concubine." It can be imagined that after losing the throne, Wei Zi was unwilling to fail, but could not compete for the powerful Emperor Xin, so he did not hesitate to sell the country to seek honor, "Wei Zi Qi, Jiao Ge and Zhou alliance". Therefore, Emperor Xin's attack and exclusion of Wei Zi was by no means stupid and far away from the virtuous and friendly to the villain, but the inevitable result of political struggle.

"It's not wrong. It should be said that Weizi, Jizi, Bigan, Jiaoge, etc. are by no means wise men mentioned by Confucius, but a group of traitors who betrayed the country and the people for personal interests, and even worse than the royal family members who were living in this city and waiting to die. They also knew that they were willing to die when the country was destroyed." Zhao Bing said angrily.

"Your Majesty has said it too much!" Ying Jieyan was a little embarrassed by this. After all, he had always used these people as role models in the past and taught his children. Now he is called a traitor by the little emperor. How can he not embarrass him?

"Haha, my words are a bit fierce. But I think this matter is just a dispute between brothers, a dispute between thrones, a dispute between interests, and a dispute between fritories. It is still a matter of one family and a country. These things also have their roots. If you impose this as a crime on King Zhou and Emperor Xin, it would be unfair." Zhao Bing heard that the old man could not accept so many scandals from his "idols", so he slowed down and said.

"Oh, I have read the books of sages for a lifetime, and some things are not as clear as Your Majesty!" Ying Jieyan sighed suddenly. He is a smart person and is familiar with this history. In the past, he just didn't think of these things, and of course he did not dare to talk about sages, otherwise he would be the one who was drowned by spitting. Now the little emperor is bold and unrestrained. In addition, he has been immersed in the officialdom for many years and has experienced the officialdom many times. It is not difficult to figure out the joints.

In fact, after the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, there was a struggle between two major forces, that is, the battle between the divine power and the royal power. From Emperor Wu Yi teased the gods, "the blood of the rogue" was "shooting the sky", to Emperor Xin, in the four generations, the dispute between the royal power and the divine power became increasingly fierce. Although the royal power gained the upper hand and became the dominant force after decades of hard fighting by the four generations of Shang emperors, the supreme position of the divine power for hundreds of years caused the huge charlatans of the team to be unwilling to fail, and repeatedly competed with the royal power, trying to reproduce the glory of the Yue royal power in the era of Yi Yin, Wu Xian and other countries.

By the time of Emperor Xin, due to Emperor Xin's extraordinary strength, the talists could not shake it, so they colluded with foreign enemies to achieve their own goals and became the vanguard of the overthrow of Shang. The ancestor Yiyuan Shen Cult, who was once the backbone of the Shang Dynasty, eventually became the main force that shakes the foundation of the Shang Dynasty's rule. This is the origin of the crimes of Emperor Xin's "disguised and sacrificed", "not respecting the heavens", "not serving Gods and gods, leaving the ancestors without worshipping the temples", "not building the suburbs, and not enjoying the temples", "slowly ghosts and gods", and even teasing Nuwa.

It was the reform of the ritual system of Emperor Zujia that caused the confrontation between royal power and royal aristocrats. The reform not only established the system of succession of the eldest son, but also abolished the system of public debate in the succession of the throne and national affairs, which completely destroyed the last remnants of the chief state system and completed the transformation from the chief state system to the state and the empire, and took a big step in the state form. When Emperor Wu Yi tried his best to suppress the god power and consolidate the royal power, the Shang Dynasty truly entered the imperial form.

However, the nobles of the Shang Dynasty were so powerful in the Shang Empire that they were still strong even though they had been suppressed repeatedly. As a last resort, several generations of emperors of the Shang Dynasty were trying to use various means to establish their own royal power structure. As the great emperor of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Wu Ding was not allowed to use the method of "the late emperor's dream" to conceal his true purpose.

The evil committed by the predecessors finally repaid on Emperor Xin. By the time Emperor Xin took power, the empire was divided into pieces. Many struggles between the divine power, the royal power, the ruling group and the opposition group, and the imperial power and the nobles were difficult to return. So he fell to the point where he could not trust people available, so he had to reuse foreign fees, Feilian, evil, etc., which caused a strong backlash from the opposition party, especially the nobles.

Although the charlatan and the nobles had different interests, their goals were the same - Emperor Xin. Fei Zhong and Fei Lian, the evil ones were abandoned by their clans to help Emperor Xin, which was not allowed at the time and caused public outrage. Therefore, the crimes of Emperor Xin's "for the escape master of the world and gathering the abyss", "only many crimes in all directions fleeing, whether they are respectful or long, trust or envoy, and so on, they think they are the officials and ministers", "a sinner", "a sinner with traitor", "a complaint of the royal opposition party, and the nobles also became Emperor Xin's crimes of "disguised the king's parents and brothers, and not diligent", "to do excessively, abandon the old man", "to respect the four traitors, and to release the military guard; to reject the punishment of the sect, and to imprison the slaves and the slaves", "nine marquis", "master of marquis", "master of marquis", "past Bigan", "prison Jizi", etc.

"Why should I do this, sir?" Zhao Bing asked someone to change tea and said, "When it comes to King Zhou and Emperor Xin's reputation, the responsibility should be more borne by the various sects of the Warring States Period. In order to prove their own views, as Xunzi said, they used history to prove their political propositions, and did not hesitate to modify the classics and distort historical facts. To prove the importance of benevolence and righteousness, they mentioned the examples of Emperor Xin's unkindness and unrighteousness. There is no example that can be taken as Su Xueshi; to prove the importance of respecting virtuousness and using virtuousness, they mentioned the lessons of Emperor Xin's destruction of loyal people and destroying the country; to prove the way of heaven and the country, they created the examples of Emperor Xin's trampling on the ground and snatching pregnant women; to prove the effect of preventing flaws and preventing escalation, they created the emperor Xin as ivory chopsticks, etc.."

"Di Xin has been dead for thousands of years and cannot defend himself, and he has long become a sewage pit. It is a habit to put all kinds of strange crimes that everyone can imagine on Di Xin. What's the harm in spilling one more scoop of sewage? This has created King Zhou of Shang, who has been destroyed for thousands of years. But if we sort it out carefully, although Emperor Xin made mistakes in governing the country and acted fiercely, he was still a capable king!"

Of course, Zhao Bing did not have such high cultivation and analysis ability, but as long as the Zhou people are filled with slander and insulting historical records, it is a true and magnificent historical picture. Just as a great man in the contemporary world said, "It is wrong to regard King Zhou, Qin Shihuang, and Cao Cao as bad people. In fact, King Zhou is a very capable person, capable of literature and martial arts. It manages the Southeast and consolidates the unity of the East Yi and the Central Plains, and has made contributions in history."

"Well, after hearing what Your Majesty said, I finally understand why Wei Ziqi, the descendants of the Shang people who begged for the establishment of the Song Kingdom from the Zhou people, wrote a poem like "Xuanniao" to miss Emperor Xin and call him the omnipotent King Wu. I think this is a confession to his previous actions!" Ying Jieyan nodded and said that Wei Ziqi and Emperor Xin are mortal enemies. If they can make such an evaluation of King Zhou, they also highly appreciate his contribution to Shang. If it is true that they have praised the enemy as the comments of later generations, how could they praise the enemy?

"Sir, what I said today actually does not mean disrespect to the sages. There are still many things worth learning from in their thinking of governing the country for the people, but we cannot always stick to the shackles they set. Because only when we are full can we have the leisure to talk about etiquette and law. Only by winning can we talk about benevolent politics. Otherwise, everything will be talked about indiscriminately and have no meaning!" Zhao Bing said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I have also received teachings today. I understand that evil and good, black and white are only between the front lines, and there is no absolute. I only look at the good and evil of the implementer's heart!" Ying Jieyan also said with some understanding.

"Very good. Although my methods of doing things are a little bit impaired, I do not have selfish intentions, but to restore the country. But seeing the people leaving their hometowns, I still feel so unbearable to separate my flesh and blood." After all, Zhao Bing was born in a peaceful era in his previous life. A story of separation and reunion in his flesh and blood can make him sigh, but now he has directed a tragedy of separation of thousands of families, which makes him feel uneasy.

"I remember when His Majesty talked with the Palace Commander back then, Zeng Yan didn't want to be a good person, but just a bad person for the country and the people. I and the Palace Commander were also misunderstood that Your Majesty would go on a wrong path. If he could hear Your Majesty's heartfelt words today, I think the Palace Commander should be able to rest in peace." Ying Jieyan remembered the conversation when he first met Your Majesty, and was even more moved. I guess that Your Majesty would have known that once he stepped into the whirlpool of the officialdom, there would be no way out, and he did not expect to be a person who praised everyone, but just wanted to do something that was beneficial to the people, and for this reason he was misunderstood and scolded.

"Haha, even though I said that, we can still learn from what the ancestors did!" Zhao Bing felt relieved when he heard this. He was worried that his words would arouse the disgust of Ying Jieyan. Now it seems that the old man is much more enlightened than he thought. This may be because he has seen many battles in the officialdom and bloody storms in the palace, and can understand the ugliness of the world. If it were Deng Guangjian, he would have been beaten to death without blood splashing at this time.

"What do you think about Your Majesty?" Ying Jieyan was scared by the little emperor's idea and the right idea. He only thought that he was old and his mind was slow and could not keep up with his pace.

"It is urgent to withdraw troops now. I am learning that my father led the people to flee. This notice tells the people of Quanzhou that it is not that I do not want to stay in Quanzhou for a long time, but that the people of the whole city are burning all the jades and stones!" Zhao Bing said quietly.

"Ah... Your Majesty is much more wise than Father Zam!" Ying Jieyan sighed and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty is sending people to secretly spread rumors and threatening the people with the reputation of Tartars; and at the same time, he also shows kindness to the people and blinds the eyes and eyes. He has to leave, so how can Father Zam against His Majesty?

"Haha, I know me!" Zhao Bing laughed a few times and said, "Sir, who is the best thing to do this?"

"Your Majesty, ah!" Ying Jieyan sighed again, "I and Your Majesty each recommend one person to see who will do the best!"
