After Liu Xun pacified the Huo Rebellion, he reformed the secret music system and canceled the deputy seal, thus strengthening the secrecy of the "seal".Shang Shutai couldn't disassemble it first to know the contents, and all of them had to be handed over to the emperor for inspection, of course, which also increased the emperor's workload, which was also the reason why Liu Xun was tied up by the case for most of the day.Wei Xiang's performance is very smart, so let's talk about Lu Buwei first."
Those who believe in Jun Lu Buwei, Benyang Zhai Dajia, thought that Chu Qi, the grandson of the Duke of Qin, was a good place to live, so he entered Huayang to establish an heir, and made his son Chu the king of Qin Zhuang Xiang, and sealed 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan.and the King of Qin, who was the prime minister of the country, was the middle father. ”"After the meritorious service has been accomplished, Lü Buwei also thinks about fame, which is to make the princes and men compete for the Qin people, everyone has written and heard, and the collection is thought to be eight views, six treatises, twelve epochs, and more than 200,000 words.In order to prepare for the ancient and modern things of heaven and earth, it is called the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu Family, the gate of Buxian City, and there are those who can increase and lose a word to give a thousand gold. ”"What Lü Buwei did was that he did not have enough meritorious service, but he wanted to establish his words and virtues, and make the law for Qin, so as to consolidate his position, so that future generations of Qin monarchs will follow his law and respect his system.""
Today, there are also ministers of the imperial court, who boast of their merits to the Lu family, vainly change the words of the sage, and do utilitarian facts, but also want to make the law for the Han Dynasty and make the position of the monarch and minister upside down."
He also gave the example of Liu An, the king of Huainan, who attracted thousands of guests and magicians, and cultivated Huainanzi, in addition to being interested, he also wanted to rely on his words to gain the admiration of the scholars, and wanted to follow the people with his virtues, and be famous all over the world, and the conspiracy was against him.Moreover, Liu An, the king of Huainan, also exaggerated the power of Nanyue and Dongyue to Emperor Xiaowu, in order to gain self-respect, which is exactly the same as a certain minister's exaggeration of the threat of the "Great Qin State of Haixi".Although in the past, Emperor Xiaozhao and the general Guang Jiajun did not doubt it, saying: "The ministers of the public should use the scriptures to understand the great friendship", but Wei Xiang thought that it was necessary to be wary of these important ministers who retreated and spoke up, they did not really want to engage in academics, but like Lü Buwei, they had other plans.Song Shu finally named his name and said: "The history books ridicule Meng Wei of Qi, Chunshen of Chu, and Buwei of Qin, and hate them for usurping their positions and endangering the country.Since Jing Ning, the generals have served as many people, although the general of the Great Sima Hussars retired and wrote books, but his old department was a cardinal, so the bureaucrats were in the military according to their power. ”"Mrs.
Hong, Princess Anping, is from Changle Palace, and the Empress Dowager is good, and often enters and exits the door.There is also Wusun to relieve the worries of the Empress Dowager as foreign aid, not carelessly, it is advisable to damage and seize her power, break up the conspiracy, and consolidate the foundation of the world, the world of all heroes. ”Wei Xiang said everything that should be said and what should not be said, and only slandered Ren Hong for fornicating with the Empress Dowager, who had not seen each other in five years.Liu Xun read it silently, remained silent, and only said secretly: "Wei Xiang may be a villain's heart, and he will spend the belly of a gentleman." ”As for the Great Qin State of Haixi, as early as before Liu Xun ascended the throne, he had heard it talk about it when he looked at the map in the Xi'an Hou Mansion, and the Hou of Xi'an emphasized this matter for many years, although he did not clearly state the purpose, but Liu Xun understood that it was not for the sake of "self-respect by the enemy country", but to consider more long-term things.Mencius once said a very reasonable sentence: "If you enter, you will not be able to fight at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish." ”Liu Xun did not believe that Confucian officials could do practical things, and chose to be overlord in the art of governing the country, and the officials in charge of administration and local affairs were still officials who were familiar with laws and regulations, and there were even many "cool officials".As long as this point is adhered to, there is no shortage of scholars in the Han Dynasty, but the emperor must restrain them, so as not to make the local laws and regulations too dense and strict, making the people's livelihood difficult.But the enemy country, since the only old enemy of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu, was wiped out and the Zhizhi moved westward, it was completely gone.Liu Xun can feel that after entering the Tian'an Year and losing the threat of the Huns, there is already a bit of "martial arts" as Xi'an Hou said in China.The meritorious generals and officials were keen to buy land and live in peace, and the Confucian ministers in the court even said, "Since the Xiongnu have been destroyed, there is no need to maintain the wealth of the Western Regions and the Northern Court, so they are simply abolished!"
”But they didn't want to know at all, with the abolition of the border guards, there were not many garrisons maintained by the Western Regions and Beiting, but the caravans continued to enter the Yumen Pass far away, and the Western Regions Protectorate no longer paid upside down, but could earn some money."
The Great Han must have an old enemy."
This is the consensus of Liu Xun and Ren Hong, and it is also the reason for acquiescing to Ren Hong's praise of the Great Qin State in the west of the sea.There is no way, Kang Juyue's clan is not even resting in peace, etc., it is not enough to see it, only the remnants of the tyrannical Qin in the previous dynasty can make the Han people who are good and wandering come to their senses again.But what Liu Xun was unhappy about was that Ren Hong suddenly announced the existence of the Great Qin State to the world at this juncture without reporting to him in advance, what does this mean?
Combined with the nodes of the debate between the Spring and Autumn Period in recent days, it is really a bit like what Wei Xiang said, wanting to use the existence of distant enemies to force the Son of Heaven to improve the status of the left transmission and make it listed as an official school.As for what Wei Xiang suggested, secretly weakening the power of Ren's former officials, Liu Xun was not too relieved, and the matter was far from that point.Liu Xun was very confident in the control of Gyeonggi, he abolished the old Eighth School and established a new Eighth School, and called himself "General Liu", personally in charge of the new Eighth School, as for the nominal imperial court military power, it was in the hands of Zhao Chongguo, the general of the Grand Sima Che Cavalry.and with more than 3,000 light warriors in the Western Regions for the Fei Army, in recent years, Guo Weng has been repeatedly promoted, every opportunity for meritorious service has been handed over to him, and he has been promoted to enter the Chinese and North Korea, as the "Ranger General", the Fei Army prides itself on "swimming from the Son of Heaven", although Ren Hong has taken them for many years, but everyone knows very well that at the critical moment, the blade should be aimed at whom.What Ren Hong has done recently has brought to Liu Xun is not a short-term threat, but a long-term and hidden tingling.Emperor Gao once asked his ministers why he won the world, and said: "In the midst of the husband's strategy, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, I am not as good as the ovary; Town the country, care for the people, give gifts, endless food, I am not as good as Xiao He; Even millions of people, the battle will be won, the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin. ”Liu Xun thought he was lucky, he only got one Ren Hong, and he was able to top the talent of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.But there are two sides to everything, Ren Hong has the talent of the three masters, the general will enter the phase, and make immortal achievements, if he makes a statement to become a saint, how can he control such a person?
How can children and grandchildren navigate it?
It's really a situation where the monarch and the minister are hanging upside down.In Liu Xun's ideals, with Ren Hong's intelligence, he should be like Zhang Liang, not to mention refusing the seal of 30,000 households, at least he should retreat from the "emperor's teacher" to the "emperor's guest", concentrate on cultivating the Tao and cultivating the essence, and do something he likes.For example, Ren Hong and his disciples Liu Gengsheng, Geng Shouchang and others are tinkering with the study of Gewu, which is very good, and it can be done, why do you have to study the Spring and Autumn Zuochuan, and want to replace the Son of Heaven and make the law for the Han Dynasty?
Therefore, Sanjie's fate was different, Han Xin was killed, Xiao He was repeatedly suspicious and even imprisoned in the palace, but Zhang Liangshan was the only one who started and ended well.Liu Xun needs a good friend, his crown prince needs a good teacher, and the Han needs a lord who retires after success and retires at home.The last thing in the world is a newly created "saint".Things are different from what Liu Xun envisioned and planned, Ren Hong has gradually deviated from the path that Liu Xun has always planned for their monarchs and ministers, and has driven into another road, which is his biggest annoyance.There is another thing that bothers Liu Xun, that is, Ren Hong used special means to produce the Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan Justice, without a single word, and was able to spread the state affairs of the Great Qin of Haixi to Chang'an overnight.Liu Xun can imagine that the Marquis of Xi'an must have used some special skills in Bailuyuan Manor, or in his Hou Kingdom, to complete the work of hundreds of scribes and scribes overnight.This seems to be a demonstration to the emperor: "Even if Your Majesty suppresses Zuo Chuan and does not record it as an official school, the minister can still make it flourish among the people!"
”In an era when communication mainly relied on oral copying, nine out of ten scholars in the Han Dynasty did not actually have the power to choose schools, but to learn whatever books they caught.If Xi'an Hou uses his abundant financial resources and his business connections such as Lu Jiuyu to spread the left spread to the world, this will be a dimensionality reduction blow to the Ram and Liang.When the time comes, the world will be exhausted, and if Liu Xun wants to stop it, he can only tear his face with Ren Hong, or learn from Qin Shi Huang to burn books, and the image of the holy monarch he worked hard to maintain will collapse.Isn't this the use of ministers to force the king?
Liu Xun was a little puzzled, what did Xi'an Hou want, such a smart person, went against his own plan?
It can't be really ambitious, right?"
It seems that it is time to have an open and honest talk with Xi'an Hou."
Liu Xun put away Wei Xiang's note, and Jin Anshang was rushing to report: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xi'an has left Shangguanli and will arrive at Dongque Canglongmen." ”The emperor suddenly asked Jin An two questions: "Who is on duty in the Weiyang Palace today?"
”Jin An's last fierce spirit, his cold hair stood on end, as if he had returned to the night when he fell on the back of the Huo family's son-in-law Ren Sheng in Jianzhang Palace many years ago!
At that time, the Lang guards who accompanied the Son of Heaven are now all serving in the Weiyang Palace!
He suppressed the fear in his heart and the trembling of his words, and lowered his head and said, "It was Lang Zhong who ordered Zhang Yanshou." ”Liu Xun didn't speak again, but thought about it for a long, long time, not knowing what he was thinking about.He finally smiled and said: "Let Long Shuhou in Beique come over, when I talk to Xi'an Hou, Long Shuhou is waiting outside the palace, with Han Feilong here, Xi'an Hou is comfortable, I can rest assured!"
”On the way to Weiyang Palace, Ren Hong has walked countless times, but today's distance is extraordinarily long.After getting off the bus Sima Men, walking inside, Ren Hong even unknowingly, learning from the general Huo Guang of the year, measured Weiyang Palace with his footsteps, and slowly counted his steps."
Eight hundred, eight hundred and one."
When he counted to nine hundred steps, he stepped on the stairs of the Xuanshu Palace, and after another hundred steps, at the end of the stairs, the Weiyang Guard, who was dressed in bright light armor and as tall as a mountain, was waiting for him, and arched his hand: "Hussar general." ”Lao Han is fifty years old, and the amount of alcohol has not decreased back then, but the hair on his sideburns is gray and a little old.Weiyang Weiwei, who was supposed to be in Beique, ran to this straight hall, and Ren Hongneng got the signal released by the emperor as soon as possible.Han Dangdang is still standing here, which has a lot of meaning: I still trust you.specially asked Han Dangdang to come here, and there was also a hint of warning: Take it easy, I can't understand you anymore.When he arrived at the gate of the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Xunxin's order came out: "Let the hussar general enter the palace with his sword!"
”Is this a preferential treatment of trust, or is it a deliberate act of distrust?
Anyway, Ren Hong knew that Huo Guang, who was the last one to go to the court, had already cooled down his family.Ren Hong is also a bachelor enough, patted the empty waist, and asked people to tell the Son of Heaven: "Today is not very court, the minister forgot to bring a sword." ”All that was left was his shoes, and after three more excuses, he finally took them off and entered.Ren Hong knew that he was playing a very dangerous game, and he also knew that he had to pass today's level.Today's dialogue between him and Liu Xun will not only determine the outcome of the left pass.Decide the second half of your life, decide the future of the Han Dynasty, and even affect the course of world history.The trees near the Xuanmur Hall were full of cicadas, but the floor under their feet was very cold, and they had to be diligently cleaned by the palace maids every day, and they had just been coated with wax, which was a little slippery.The door of the palace room slowly closed behind the back, except for Liu Xun, the son of heaven who was wearing a regular suit and wearing Liu's crown and sitting firmly in the center, there was no one else, and the sword of the white snake hung behind Liu Xun.Liu Xun was holding a copy of the Spring and Autumn Left Transmission of Justice in his hand, and when he raised his head, he looked at Ren Hong who was approaching, smiled, and said something that seemed to be close to himself."
It's a long way, the ground is slippery, walk steadily!"
