The 1011th section struggle for power (2)(1/2)
At one moment when I got to the garrison (about 7:15 pm), the chimes in Xuanshi Hall rang nine times. Novels.
Amid the solemn and solemn music of the "Huangyi", the Emperor of Han, surrounded by more than ten nearby servants and ministers, rode a chariot and entered the Xuanshi Hall from the corridor of the side hall on the south side of the Xuanshi Hall.
Standing at the height of the pillar in the hall, the fully armed officials immediately raised their heads and raised their chests, and whispered loudly: "The emperor is here, and the ministers are welcomed!"
So, all the ministers, nobles, royal families, and relatives stood up one after another, and under the leadership of Prime Minister Liu Qu and Grandson Liu Jin, they faced the emperor and held a bow to the emperor: "I welcome Your Majesty to the court, and my emperor will live forever!"
Amid the thunderous worship of the mountains and tsunamis, the emperor ascended to the imperial throne, waved his hands and sleeves, sat upright, and then through the gaps of the rouge beads, looking at the civil and military ministers crawling all over the hall in the huge Xuanshi Hall, he spoke slightly: "You and others are all calm!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers bowed again before they retreated to their seats, then sat in their seats, sitting in front of them, everyone lowered their heads, looked at the table in front of them, and kept calm and focused, looking like they were ready to listen to the emperor's admonition on the imperial throne at any time.
The emperor's eyes scanned the audience.
This is his habit and a characteristic.
The tall throne, condescending, could observe the expressions and sitting postures of all ministers without any blind spots, allowing him to grasp many key details and firmly control the rhythm of the court.
Withdrew his sight, the emperor sat on the imperial throne, facing the ministers, and said, "I am already sixty-four years old this year..."
When the ministers heard this, they all looked up, especially the nine ministers and marquises, with incredible expressions in their eyes.
Because everyone knows that in the past ten years, I hate others about his age the most.
Even if it only makes him feel that someone mentioned his age, he would not be able to end up in vain!
But now, he took the initiative to mention his age in the Xuanshi Hall.
How can this not be surprising?
Then he listened to the emperor on the imperial throne and said, "Confucius said, "I am determined to learn at fifteen times, and I am determined to be at thirty times, and I am not confused at forty times, and I am sure that I am destiny at fifty times, and I am obedient to my ears..."
"I am very ashamed. I still know where my destiny is..."
"I only know why the destiny of the Han Dynasty is!"
Speaking of this, the emperor stood up, carried the sword of the high emperor's white snake, walked to the imperial stairs, and looked down at the ministers: "The book says: The ancient king is conscientious and takes good care of the will of heaven. The poem says: Although Zhou is old, his destiny will be renewed..."
"Now I also know the destiny of the Han Dynasty, so I will tell you..."
The ministers immediately left the line, crawled on both sides, and bowed respectfully again: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to show me..."
Grandson Liu Jin even bowed his head and kowtowed: "Sun Chen listened to the lessons of the emperor and grandfather!"
After the screen, more than a dozen historians were sitting in front of their arms, and the pen in their hands had been picked up. Everyone was focused and listened to them, wanting to record this precious emperor's self-report as soon as possible.
However, the emperor suddenly looked at Zhang Yue, who was kneeling behind his grandson.
Countless memories flashed in my mind.
The wheat fields in Xinfeng are full of undulating ears; the workshops in Xinfeng are thousands of workers, as well as those who can afford food and clothing and stable families.
Also, there are memorials and reports sent back to Chang'an from the south of the desert and even the north of the desert.
There are also the concerns and discussions of the three lives that the people, the public opinion, and the people of the world are concerned about this matter, and the pursuit of the general trend that has formed so far.
As a king, this emperor is naturally qualified, and can even be said to be excellent and outstanding.
His acumen can be described as outstanding in this era when it comes to the changes in the current situation and the situation.
Otherwise, the Luntai sins in history would not have appeared.
A king who can even admit his own mistakes, admit his mistakes to the world and repent.
In the feudal era, it was extremely rare.
Now he has also realized the changes and development of public opinion and people's hearts.
You don’t need to go to see other places, you just need to send some palace people to Chang'an City to check it out and you will know.
From June to now, what are the most discussed, discussed and paid attention to by the 200,000 to 300,000 residents in Chang'an City?
There is no doubt that there is only one well-off.
In the academic world, no matter what ancient texts are, modern texts, and even Confucianism, law, Huang, Lao Mo, everyone pays attention to and focuses on the peaceful world.
The world's Datong has become the most mentioned word by public opinion and literati this year.
Whether it is the poems and essays of literati or the articles of scholars.
Almost no one does not put this matter on their list.
Especially when the news of the Great Victory in Mobei reached Chang'an, when the Han army once again sealed Langjuxu Mountain spread to Guanzhong.
The whole world is like boiling boiling water, completely boiling.
The people's hearts, the people's expectations, and even the entire ruling class, including the two thousand stones, the nine ministers and the marquis in the court, are all looking forward to it, longing for the world where since Confucius, since the Spring and Autumn Period, rituals and music have collapsed and the traces of the sage kings have been extinguished, and the people have entered a new world where sage kings are present, wise ministers rule the world, punish the world without using punishment, and painting clothes without painting the people.
The new era of kings after the three kings!
So, it goes without saying how to choose.
A wise king will never go against the trend.
What's more, the general trend of the world and the desires of the people are all about the legitimacy and rationality of the Han family and the rule of the Liu family.
Not to mention the other person, after the publication of the Third World, especially after the huge wheat yield in Xinfeng Suzu, the scholars, literati, and the landlords, nobles and powerful people who could influence them had completely turned to the Liu Han family.
Even the Suzes in the Qilu Wuchu area, which had always been inconsistent with Chang'an, now they bow their heads obediently and become loyal ministers and filial sons of the Liu family.
When Prince Liu Ju was surrounded by lakes in Kuaiji, he was a bit lazy and even resisted.
Only by relying on the authoritative end of the army and government, can the project progress be promoted.
However, at the beginning of the project of guiding Huai to Bian, it received strong support from the scholars and officials from the entire Xuzhou, Henan County, Henei County and even Hedong County.
The project is progressing very quickly.
This is the power of the human heart!
It is also the terrible thing about the general trend!
This made His Majesty feel relieved and happy, but he had to consider how to effectively guide this power to his own use.
No one will like uncontrolled power.
Even if this power can bring benefits to yourself.
Especially the king!
Therefore, the emperor took a slight step forward, looked at the ministers, held the sword of the white snake in his hand, and said loudly: "I heard that a scholar talked about: Xia's government is loyal, the evil of loyalty, the villain is wild; therefore, the Shang Dynasty accepted it with respect, the evil of respect, the villain is ghost; therefore, Zhou saved it with literature, the evil of literature, the villain is weak, and if you want to save it, it is better to be loyal, because the way of heaven is repeated... "
The ministers all lowered their heads as they heard this.
The theory of the five virtues is the most popular theory in the Han Dynasty.
Basically, this theory has even been extended to the peasant women who are illiterate in the countryside and have never left the village pavilion in their entire lives knowing it, and even knowing its meaning.
But, for the rulers, especially the king, this is simply nonsense and nonsense!
The beginning and beginning of the five virtues means that the virtue of the Han Dynasty will decline sooner or later, and the Han Dynasty's politics will perish sooner or later.
Moreover, it will die soon.
As long as the new king follows the will of heaven and raises his arms, the Liu family country will collapse in an instant.
The Han imperial tombs will become a treasure house that stands alone on the horizon like the tomb of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, allowing tomb robbers to defile, blaspheme, steal and destroy.
This is the nightmare of the Emperor Liu!
But, however, there has never been a reliable theories or theories to compete with.
Even the Emperor Liu has always been a negative role in the public opinion and academic circles.
Among the Confucian scholars in the countryside, I don’t know how many slight rules are hidden.
Especially the Confucian scholars of Qi, Lu, Wu and Chu, they wished that the new king would be born soon, to overthrow Chang'an and build a country again.
Faced with these slow conditions, there are actually not many methods that can be used in Chang'an court.
Because those literati were very cunning, they just secretly spread related remarks, or use the past to mock the present, using the guise of Xiang Yu and Qin Shihuang to satirize the ruler and ministers.
What's even worse is that these remarks and public opinion, even the Liu clan members, even the princes, princes, and grandsons, were influenced.
Moreover, there are many silly believers...
This is really even more uncomfortable for this king who is used to control and mastering than eating Xiang!
Now, he finally found a way to break through.
A theory that establishes a path that will last forever in the Liu Han family!
Holding the Gao Emperor's White Snake Sword in his hand, the emperor suddenly glared, raised his tone, and said, "In my opinion, these remarks are simply pedantic to this day!"
"The rule of the three generations was prosperous, but how could the rule of the Five Emperors?"
"The way of governance is not just three generations..."
"Besides, the three generations have different laws, and the Five Emperors do not regain their rituals. If they do what they do in the past, they will not be able to save them in the future!"
"If you follow the ways of the predecessors and can recover, why should Yao ask Shun to say: The world is poor and the heavenly fortune will last forever?"
"Besides, my Han family, Yao, should have implemented the policies of Emperor Yao, prospered the ways of the ancestors, and educated the Yuanyuan of the four seas, marry birds and beasts, and moistened the mountains and rivers!"
Listen to the emperor's series of questions.
To be continued...
