Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2510 What is singing is what

  Chang'an.

   Qinglong Temple.

  After a period of deliberation, as well as some young scholars, young Confucian scholars, etc., Zheng Xuan is also ready to start to give a correct explanation in Qinglong Temple in Chang'an.

  Before Zheng Xuan entered the altar, almost all other people's activities stopped, like the brief calm before the variation, or the subconscious hiding when the boss came out.

   For most students of the Han Dynasty, Zheng Xuan was an insurmountable peak.

  This point, even if Mr. Shui Jing has been grinding his teeth and talking about it for many years, he still cannot surpass it. Sometimes, it's not all about sheer effort. Basically, if it takes 100 points to achieve a career, then personal efforts account for at least 80% of it, but above 80% is personal talent...

For example, some people are good at mathematics, and their mental arithmetic ability is very strong. They can calculate the final money without using the cashier when they go to the supermarket to buy things, but some people are numb when they encounter calculations. Without a calculator, life would be bleak without a calculator. Maybe the latter can reach 70% to 80% of the former level through a lot of hard work, but it will be very difficult to continue to improve.

The same is true of Confucian scriptures. If you want to read and recite them to reach the level of 70% to 80%, you will spend hard work. One year will not be two years, and ten years will not be twenty years. In general, you can become a bookworm. Not everyone can do it flexibly, quote from sources, even confirm each other, and bring forth the new through the old.

   Zheng Xuan is almost a top figure in Confucianism in the current Han Dynasty. It is not just that Zheng Xuan can read and recite the scriptures, but that Zheng Xuan can master them and reach the realm of Confucianism.

  『But Wang Jianguo, who identified Fang Zhengwei, considered the country’s economics and the field, and set up officials and divisions of duties, thinking that the people were the best. It is to set up a heavenly official and the head of the grave, to command his subordinates to rule the country, and to assist the king to even the state...』

  Zheng Xuan sat on a high platform and talked eloquently. Every time he said a sentence, his disciple Guoyuan recited it aloud again so that the surrounding children could hear it. Of course, it is a very throat-consuming thing to keep shouting loudly, and most people can't do it, and they just scream three times, but Guoyuan has obviously practiced before, so his voice is not only loud, but also clear, even It is far away, and it can generally be heard clearly.

The reason why I say generally is because Zheng Xuan said something, low is how many people subconsciously repeat it, some people feel emotional, some people can't help showing off, even if everyone's voice is low, it will be buzzing when it reaches the periphery …

  Another point is that the accents of different places are slightly different. The accent of Luoyang in Guanzhong is obviously the orthodox of the Han Dynasty, and those in the marginal areas can adapt to it naturally.

   On the other side of the high platform, in a wing room separated by a wall and a corridor, two people were listening.

  On the table, there is a lot of green tea.

   Of course Fei Qian did not sit down on stage. On the one hand, it was to avoid the situation where the leader left first, and on the other hand, it was also to hear the truth, so that Fei Qian would not go to the scene to decorate and whitewash, and even the flag would be removed immediately after Fei Qian left.

  So Fei Qian didn't inform anyone, secretly brought Xu Chu and some guards, and hid with Pang Tong in a small wing in the side hall of Qinglong Temple, drinking tea while listening to Zheng Xuan's lecture on the high platform.

  The three rituals are "Yili", "Zhouli", and "Book of Rites".

  The first two existed before the Han Dynasty, while the "Book of Rites" appeared in the Han Dynasty, which is probably not much different from the "Book of Filial Piety".

  Of course, the Three Rites are said to be written by Zhou Gong, and then discussed by Confucius and recorded by his disciples.

  But, like most scriptures in the Han Dynasty, this matter is actually not very reliable.

Duke Zhou is too busy, not only to govern the country, but also to lead troops to fight, and then to have a bunch of children at home, to inspect places by the way, and to take time out of his busy schedule to write books, such as writing a The Ping An Jing... Bah, it's the Book of Changes, and the Rites of Zhou, and it also helps people interpret dreams...

  If you can't sleep well, you have to find Zhou Gong. Do you think Zhou Gong is busy?

  So it is true that some of these books were written by Duke Zhou, but it is true that all of them belong to Duke Zhou...

   Isn't this the same as someone in later generations, he said everything. Zhou who you sit down! Ask yourself, is it possible that you have said so many things and misunderstood you, is there any problem?

The book "Zhou Li" was called "Zhou Guan" in the early Han Dynasty. It was not changed to "Zhou Li" until Wang Mangju took photos, and it has been used until now. As for why Lao Wang changed "Official" to " Ceremony, everyone knows this idea.

  The Zhou Rites of the Han Dynasty was obtained by Hejian King Liu De from the people...

   Then I have to talk about Liu De, um, no Hua, just the word Liu De.

   Liu De is the second son of Liu Qi. He and his eldest son, Liu Rong, both came from the same mother, and there was a younger brother under Liu De, and the three brothers all had the same mother, occupying the top three in Liu Qi's royal bloodline.

   But what is very interesting is that after Liu Qi, it was the ten sons of the emperor who inherited the throne, that is, the famous Emperor Wu of Han...

   As the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong was dragged down because of his irascible mother Li Ji's coquettish operation, and was finally deposed, and Liu De was also dispatched to Hejian.

  It is against this background that a Hejian king has gained a lot of prestige among Confucians. He not only meets ordinary Confucians in person, but even the standard of his own food is not higher than that of the guests. Then, Liu De presented "Zhou Li" to Liu Che...

  Liu Che took it with a smile, and immediately threw it into the secret mansion to refrigerate. It was not until the Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty that Liu Xiang, Liu Xin and his father and son were the school secretaries that they listed them again.

  The reason for this is naturally remarkable. So if it is said that "Zhou Rituals" was really written by Zhou Gong and his old man himself, that would be great, but it cannot be said that all of them are fake. After all, Confucius also traveled around the world and praised the Zhou Rituals. Well, from this aspect Speaking of which, at that time Liu De offered Zhou Li, and then Liu Che threw Zhou Li, they all played a good hand!

   Just like at the moment, Fei Qian pushed Zheng Xuan to the front to play cards, in fact, it was almost a similar purpose.

  What is Zhouli? Simply put, it is the rules of being an official.

"The words of the three rites must be given by Zheng Gong..." Fei Qian listened for a while, and said with some emotion, "If it comes to proficiency in reciting, there are probably many capable people in this Shoushan Academy, but if you want to be proficient in citing, Quoting scriptures, passing on historical records, etc., correcting the explanations of various schools of thought... I am afraid that it is difficult to come up with the right one in the world...』

Pang Tong also nodded, and then said: "Just like this sentence, "Enable the people to be virtuous, and send them to lead them; to make the people invigorate them, and envoys to rule them." "Heart for heart" is wonderful. To govern the people, we must pay attention to the hearts of the people. There has never been a leftover in ancient or modern times who can govern...』

   Feiqian nodded.

Zheng Xuan is not only familiar with the three rites, but also proficient in Huang Lao, and even has some references to the astronomy and calendar of the Legalists, peasants, military strategists, etc., so when explaining the three rites, these contents are involved from time to time, and the explanations cause bursts of excitement in the audience. Discuss and marvel.

  After listening for a while, Fei Qian suddenly laughed and said, "Here Zheng Gong has changed..."

  Pang Tong also turned his head to listen, and after a while he also laughed and said: "Yes, it is different from what Zheng Gong said last time. 』

  Speaking of it, Zheng Xuan changed his rhetoric immediately because of Fei Qian.

   Prophecy.

   This thing, under the pull of Fei Qian's strength, was separated from serious literature after all. Although it was not completely cut off, it was much stronger than the previous parasitic state.

  Religion is religion, and scholarship is scholarship.

   Temporary productivity and cognition levels are not up to scratch, and some unknown things can be attributed to religious mysticism, but it cannot be said to rely on mysticism to explain everything. Because human nature is lazy and greedy, if you find a way to save trouble, then you will naturally choose the way to save trouble, and explaining nothing and everything is attributed to the mysterious religious system. Why do you need to work hard to research and develop new technologies?

   When the power of religion grows, it’s not just Boni who will be burned to death, huh? Didn't burn to death? Let's just burn it, anyway, the religion is very skilled in grilling.

   And there are other problems here, and Fei Qian is also in the process of making arrangements...

It turned out that when Zheng Xuan and Fei Qian talked about the Book of Rites for the first time, whether it was a rehearsal or an early communication, Zheng Xuan also received some influence from the previous atmosphere, and used the prophecy to annotate "Zhou Li" and used it to construct its ritual system .

  In "Zhou Li", there are five emperors, five human emperors and five sense gods.

At that time, Zheng Xuan thought that Fei Qian had launched the five-party Catholic religion, so he thought that Fei Qian was also slightly inclined to the mystical side of prophecy. Therefore, for the Five Emperors in the Zhou Rites, Zheng Xuan said at the time, "Five Emperors, Cang said Lingwei Yang , Taihao eats it; red means redness and anger, Yandi eats it; yellow says Hanhuo, Huangdi eats it; white means white refusal, Shaohao eats it; black means Juicy Guangji, Zhuanxu eats it...』

   Zheng Xuan’s explanation is that there are five spirit emperors in the sky and five human emperors below, and they were conceived by their mothers who felt the essence of the five emperors, and the five human emperors are the sons of the five heavenly emperors. Under the five emperors, there are five sense organs. After the death of the five sense organs, they become the five gods. During the sacrifice, the five gods each feed their emperors.

  It sounds like there is no problem. The five gods have names, origins and even directions, just like real things, but in fact they are all fictional. This statement comes from the messy "Chunqiu Weiyuan Mingbao", "Chunqiu Weiwen Yaogou", "Yiwei Qianchidu" and so on related to "Hetu".

  Although what Zheng Xuan said before can also be used to explain "Five Emperors, Five Human Emperors, and Five Sense Gods", Fei Qian made it clear that it was inappropriate.

  『Governing the country has permanence, and benefiting the people is the foundation; politics and religion have scriptures, and order behavior. ’ Fei Qian said to Zheng Xuan at that time, ‘If you want to benefit the people, you don’t need to follow the ancients; 』

Zheng Xuan's meticulously prepared "Annotation of the Five Directions and Five Emperors" was actually called "far-fetched" by Fei Qian. The first session of the Qinglong Temple Grand Theory also officially confirmed that the prophecy is the prophecy, the scriptures are the scriptures, and we must "seek truth and truth", so Zheng Xuan had to change the original "heaven and earth are determined" to " The unknown in the distant area"...

  China is naturally the emperor of China, but there are also four emperors in the other four directions, living in an extremely remote unknown place. The emperor of the four directions was beaten away by Yanhuang back then, so naturally there is the same official position system as Yanhuang, building a huge world...

  So people from all directions are both enemies and friends. If the middle is weak and the four directions are strong, then the four directions will dominate; if the middle is strong and the four directions are weak, then the middle will rule them, and so on.

This kind of rhetoric breaks away from the original prophecy. Although it cannot avoid carrying some mysterious flavor, at least the core of it has changed, from the original definite and unchangeable to the unknown, which may change. s things.

  This is the real "Zhou Ritual".

  Even if the Zhou Li was held back at home by Old Master Zhou for three years and three years, and finally drawn out by himself with a pen in one hand and a carving knife in the other, what was the purpose of Old Master Zhou in doing Zhou Li in the first place?

   Written for fun?

   No, it is to make rules and set standards!

So thousands of years ago, Old Master Zhou already understood the importance of standards and practiced them. As a result, in later generations, the standards of the East and the West were pressed on his head and stuck on his neck one by one. Will he lift the coffin board in anger?

  From a tribe to a country, it is like going from a local small business to a national or even a large multinational group. What is the most important thing in this process?

   Talent?

   Maybe, but not the most important.

   After all, who said "Talent is the most important thing"? Uncle Ge! Then what happened to Uncle Ge who only knew that he valued talents?

   Therefore, the rules are important! Standards matter! How to make better use of talents is more important than simply pursuing talents! Apart from freaks like Fei Qian, how can we ensure that the so-called talents will not touch the **** of female subordinates, covet the company's money, report false accounts, or inflate expenses after they arrive at the branch?

  The more talented and smart you are, the easier it is to find loopholes in the company!

  If you don’t set the rules and standards first, messing around will be unavoidable.

   As for Zheng Xuan's commentary this time, the key point is not only "unknown", but also "replaceable"!

  Even the gods of the five directions take turns to sit on the throne, and the inferior gods and officials of the five directions, what is there to "hereditary replacement"?

  Rules and standards change according to the times. If you want not to be replaced, you must make efforts.

Just like what Feiqian was doing in Longxi and Longyou, at the beginning, a large number of officials thought they were safe, and felt that Feiqian had nothing to do with them. Well, at most, a few youngsters will be arrested and warned, and the others will be finished after a few reprimands at most...

  So at the beginning of the chaos in Longyou and Longxi, all the officials were not very afraid, and they all felt that they would not be so unlucky. Maybe they just need to be a little more concealed, not the most escaped, and they will be fine.

But I didn't expect that Fei Qian had already prepared manpower, directly from Guanzhong Sanfu, and Hedong, and then directly replaced them from top to bottom, one county after another, from the county magistrate to the county magistrate, From Cangcao to household officials, all of them will be replaced directly!

  The officials in Longyou and Longxi were immediately dumbfounded...

  Actually speaking, in a county, how many real officials are there?

In the Han Dynasty, a large county, that is, more than 10,000 households, was called a county magistrate, and under 10,000 households became a county magistrate, but their powers were similar. They were all the highest officials of a county, and they were also called countries, euphemisms, and roads. The country was Hou Guo , Yi is the fiefdom of the queen, empress dowager, and princess, and those with ethnic minorities living in the territory are called Tao.

  In such a county, apart from the county magistrate, it is the history of meritorious officials who are in charge of all affairs. The county lieutenant is in charge of the county's military, and sometimes the county magistrate concurrently. Then there is the county magistrate, the chief book, the court (or others concurrently), the chief secretary's office, and the Shaofu.

  As for the subordinates and others, they are basically low-level officials, and there is no fixed number. To put it simply, they are temporary workers, the kind hired by county magistrates and magistrates.

   To put it simply, there are probably six to eight officials in a county, and as long as a team of four is dispatched, it can be directly and completely replaced! Then relying on the power of the surrounding army, the replacement officials don't even need to bring any special guards. After all, being replaced is just a personal loss of office. If there is trouble, the result will be ransacking the family!

   Therefore, when the officials in Longxi and Longyou saw that Linjing and other county towns had been replaced, they immediately behaved. Admit your mistakes, admit your mistakes, and surrender your sincerity. In order to keep your position, you have to exert a thousand times more diligence than usual...

   And once you do things seriously, things will naturally be easier to handle. The original difficulties are no longer insurmountable or unsolvable, and I have also thought of ways that I could not think of before.

   This is interesting.

   Did things get easier, or did people get smarter? Or both, or neither?

   Sometimes that's the case.

   Fei Qian stood up and said it was ok, he was going to go back. Compared with Pang Tong and others, his fatigue is not in the handling of specific matters, but in the thinking of the overall plan. In this regard, other people can assist, but cannot replace.

  If it cannot be replaced, it is precious, but if it can be replaced, there is nothing to be complacent about.

For these officials, it’s not that there’s nothing they can’t do, it’s not that they can’t change anything, and it’s not that what they say is what they say, but for them, these shrewd officials will naturally think of ways for their official status , To change the way of thinking, if you really just listen to what these officials say, it is what you want, and if you don’t go to see it, how can you understand the truth and make decisions?

   Just like the Qinglong Temple discussion this time, Fei Qian would also come secretly, and then leave quietly, or just simply listen to the description of his subordinates? What is it? Then whether the subordinate officials could understand what Zheng Xuan said was one thing, but whether they could express the main points was another matter.

  If the subordinate officials say there is no problem, is it really no problem?

  You can do whatever other people say, so why do you need your own brain?

   Fei Qian avoided the flow of people and walked outside.

Anyway, the planning architect of Qinglong Temple is right next to it. Of course, the pavilions and pavilions in Qinglong Temple are clear. Take Fei Qian to turn left and right, avoiding the noisy main venue area, and then exit Qinglong through the side door temple.

  『Prime Minister Cao really made a move... 』 Fei Qian said as he walked, 『Now it’s time to see how this group of people will respond...』

  Pang Tong said from the side, "Prime Minister Cao pried open the Xunshiwu Fortress, and Yuzhou was shaken... However, these people may not be willing to give up..."

   Fei Qian nodded, looked to the east, "It depends on how much Prime Minister Cao can do..."
