Chapter 2521 Stones in the River
?No one in this world can understand everything, understand the world, and operate smoothly from the beginning, even a well-read scholar like Zheng Xuan.
In Qinglong Temple, after Zheng Xuan got Fei Qian''s suggestion, he quickly contacted several people, including Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, an old rival who was both friend and foe, as well as the Linghu family, Wang family, Wen and others formed a general alliance system, and began to unify the voice and suppress the remaining noise.
?From this aspect alone, Zheng Xuan did quite well, but if he stood higher, like Fei Qian is doing now, it would not be enough.
?Of course this cannot all be blamed on Zheng Xuan. After all, Fei Qian is the only one who can look at problems from the perspective of history.
Inside the game and outside the game are always two concepts.
? It''s just that Fei Qian thought that Zheng Xuan could do better. After all, Zheng Xuan also had a bumpy and difficult journey in learning.
Fei Qian stood on a hillside outside Qinglong Temple, looking at the scene inside Qinglong Temple.
?Looking at it from this angle, the people inside Qinglong Temple are like ants moving around, running back and forth, but only within a few inches...
??Fei Qian felt that the best thing about coming to the Han Dynasty was that he didn’t have a mobile phone and didn’t have to bow his head every day. Then he not only developed myopia, but also suffered from cervical spondylosis.
?Of course, on the other hand, there is no instant communication. For example, it will take a long time for Fei Qian to know what happened in Qinglong Temple, let alone matters in Yuzhou or Jiangdong.
So Fei Qian had to take the initiative to get closer, at least to understand faster. If we really had to wait for someone else to report everything at the end, I believe that everyone would be very exhausted when reporting. It would already be a multiple-choice question of whether one person should die on the left rail, or five should die on the right rail.
Or, derailed…
Hence, as a leader, it is bound to be very hard to do something well.
『The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system...』
Fei Qian faced the wind and said slowly.
?Had not sat in this position, Fei Qian would not have been able to say that he fully understood the meaning behind these four simple words. Of course, if you change it to another sentence, perhaps people in later generations will be more familiar with it, "crossing the river by feeling for the stones."
?This "river" is the long river of history.
Before the Qin Dynasty, Confucius lamented the collapse of rituals and music. Master Kong himself probably never thought that he would become a stone, a symbol in the long river of history, and also a line that divided the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Before his death, it was the Spring and Autumn Period, and after his death, it was the Warring States Period.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, for more than five hundred years, the Chinese people suffered from the pain of war. This kind of pain is hidden in the genes of the Chinese people. After Qin Shihuang launched the unification model, almost all emperors of the dynasties would rush in this direction.
?This is the big stone left by Qin Shihuang in the long history.
Heavy, and for thousands of years, it has been in the middle of the flow, unmoving.
?But after Qin Shihuang left the stone, he lost his weight and was washed away by the long river of history. Then Liu Bang came and touched and touched. After touching the stone, he didn''t know how to move forward.
So, "Han inherited the Qin system".
"And the changes of the big man...or what the big man will leave to China in the future..." Fei Qian pointed to the gentry disciples and academy students in the distance who were like ants, running back and forth in Qinglong Temple, and said, "This is it..."
"this? Pang Tong frowned.
Zhuge Jin, who was beside Pang Tong, also frowned.
?Of course, Zhuge Jin still looks better with a frown than Pang Tong without frowning.
After all, one is hot and sour noodles and the other is clear soup noodles, two completely different models.
Fei Qian looked at the hot and sour noodles, then at the clear soup noodles, and decided to eat both bowls, uh, no, I have to teach them both. Xun You was mainly interested in logistics and finance. Pang Tong''s affairs were too complex, so Zhuge Jin took the lead this time, but Pang Tong needed to be in charge.
Zheng Gong understood something, but he still didn’t do enough. ” Fei Qian said slowly, “Well, at least it’s still a little short of my request... But the problem now is that I can’t raise it directly, and you can’t raise it directly, because if you raise it directly... you will lose it. I’ve gone through the thinking process…』
The ability to think is undoubtedly the most precious thing a person has.
Knowing how to observe, think, explore, and finally solve problems can be called human wisdom.
From ancient times, from a weak, hairy body with neither sharp claws nor outstanding reflex muscles and nerves, in order to survive from lions, jackals, hyenas, vultures, etc., from corpses with only bones left, Trying their best to get more food, he or she grabbed a stone...
The Stone Age began.
They don’t bother to think about it! Pang Tong clapped his hands and said, "I often encounter this problem. It''s not that these guys can''t come up with a solution, but that they think I can come up with a solution. Why do they bother to do it?" In the end, they all pushed me, and when I asked, it was an order from above! 』
"Sometimes, the problem is that Zhiyin Supervisor has not fully exerted its effect..." Fei Qian glanced at Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin understood and took out a pen and paper to record, "Zhiyin Supervisor is sorting out various local affairs in recent years. Handle the examples, summarize them and send them to the Legal Academy for discussion, and forward them to the Chancellor''s Desk for review before issuance. 』
Inferior law, superior law, maritime law, and civil law actually have one thing in common, that is, rules.
Zhuge Jin wrote it down.
"Trivial local matters can be handled as usual," Fei Qian said slowly. "It can basically be done if it is stolen, beaten, or any other case... But if it comes to this level, there is no case. It’s nothing to say, you have to think about it. If it’s not me who thinks about it, it’s you Shiyuan, or it’s Tzuyu, or someone else…”
Because we are leading others forward..."
Pang Tong pinched the beard on his chin and pondered.
Fei Qian glanced at Pang Yi and said, "Why, do you think there is one more thing to do?" 』
"Haha, no, no..." Pang Tong retorted with a slight guilt, "I was just thinking that my lord seems to have some profound meaning in doing this..."
Fei Qian smiled, then raised his chin slightly and gestured to Qinglong Temple, "It''s far away, but it''s not there. It''s right here... In ancient times, what were officials?" In the pre-Qin period, who were the officials? When it comes to the Han Dynasty, where did the officials come from? Officials, standing in the government offices, uploading and distributing information, and officials, running around the countryside, giving orders to people with just one word. If you don''t know this "official" clearly, or you can''t explain clearly what an official is, then this Qinglong According to the theory of temple''s correct solution, this first stage cannot be considered perfect..."
Zheng Xuan talked about three rites, and among the three rites, the Zhou rites were the most important.
Zhou Rites, a lot of which talks about the standards and rules of being an official.
Are the Zhou rites perfect?
?Obviously not, the so-called perfection is just the packaging of Confucius. Even though Confucius preached along the way and traveled around the country to sell it, he still failed to sell it, and Zhou Li still collapsed.
What collapsed was not the "propriety, justice and integrity" in Zhou Li, but the people who implemented the entire system of Zhou Li were wrong and changed...
In the ancient tribes, "officials" were elected, but later they became "hereditary". This change is not degeneration, but evolution, because in ancient times, a tribe was easy to talk about, with only a few hundred or thousands of people. At most, they could discuss it for days and nights. After they were hungry, they would not have the energy to argue, and they would naturally be able to settle down, but From tribes to countries, how can we discuss and recommend people in an era when instant communication is impossible?
So it was hereditary and the stone was thrown into the river. Dukes of Zhou, sons of Zhou, grandsons of Zhou, ministers, sons of ministers, and grandsons of ministers were all hereditary. However, at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the disadvantages of hereditary inheritance became apparent, and they began to become untenable. This was pushed away again. Stone, start touching forward...
“In the pre-Qin Dynasty, there were literary and legal officials, filial piety and military officials, and Confucian officials...” Fei Qian said with a smile, “Now they have almost become officials of aristocratic families... isn’t this going back again? If Mr. Zheng cannot explain this clearly, then..."
Between the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, grammarians were the bearers and representatives of bureaucratic administration. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Confucian scholars who "jingmingxingxiu" continuously entered the official career and established the imperial court alongside the old grammarians.
Of course, among the political forces in the court in the early Han Dynasty, there were military groups, relatives groups, **** groups, etc., but these were not as capable of fighting and resisting as the Confucian group, so in the end they were all gradually destroyed by the groups. , Confucian scholars gradually formed the most significant stone thrown by the Han Dynasty in the long history of history.
?There are also aristocratic families.
After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, aristocratic families formed a major change in the political form of the Chinese court. The long-lasting prosperity and monopoly power of a number of great gentry clans for centuries became one of the most dazzling political landscapes in China for a long time after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even made China "blind".
The correct explanation of Qinglong Temple, especially the highlight of the "Three Rites", has been on for a while. Even though Fei Qian met with Zheng Xuan in person and communicated once, Zheng Xuan still failed to focus on this place, which made Fei Qian Slightly dissatisfied.
??After all, Fei Qian launched such a large-scale campaign to make a correct answer, not for you, Old Man Zheng, to make your own words and meritorious deeds...
"Aristocratic family" refers to a family that has been honored for generations, that is, a family that has occupied a prestigious position for generations. The gentry is a combination of "shi" and "clan", and shi is "a scholar who has learned to occupy a position and is called a scholar". Therefore, when knowledge and official position are combined, there is an effect of one plus one being greater than two. Through strong He was educated and held officials for generations, thus establishing a lofty reputation and monopolizing the officialdom.
?Any monopoly will inevitably lead to corruption. This is almost a law, comparable to the three laws of the universe.
This hereditary official monopoly system originally had a very good development momentum in the Han Dynasty. In the early days of the "Han inherited the Qin system", due to the dramatic political changes in the Pre-Qin period after the Warring States period, many hereditary officials came from the Zhou Dynasty. The old aristocracy began to retreat.
Many ancient noble families have declined, and it will take time for new families to be formed. During this rare "gap period", the Chinese society as a whole once showed a very distinct civilian character. Coupled with the hundreds of schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chinese civilization flourished during this period. Light, brilliant for thousands of years, until later generations.
At Liu Bang''s time, because many of the heroes and generals came from the middle and lower classes of the previous society, Liu Bang didn''t think there was anything wrong, and the ministers didn''t think there was anything wrong. But in Liu Xiu''s time, things were different. First of all, Liu Bang Showing two wives clearly demonstrated the theory that marrying the right wife can save twenty years of hard work. Then Liu Xiu "married the right" two wives one after another, which saved at least forty years of hard work...
Confucianism''s innate expertise in usurpationism, well, this is not a derogatory meaning, it is just a fact that makes Confucianism extremely applicable to China, but it also makes knowledge, power, and wealth begin to merge. , forming a solid triangular structure.
?Then later generations of Confucians praised Zhou Li several times. In fact, they may not really think that Zhou Li is so good, but to protect this "iron triangle" from being broken.
If there is social unrest, local right-wing tyrants often raise troops to speculate. At the turn of the Han Dynasty, many powerful people and surnames participated in the world competition. If the speculation is successful, they will become the founding heroes and then become a prominent family. However, if the society is stable, there will be no such good opportunities. Therefore, the local tyrants who occupy a large number of people and property are inherently unwilling to stabilize the society. Or maybe it''s not that stable...
The people in the Han Dynasty realized this, so they continued to crack down on local right-wingers, and even established a pioneering avoidance system. However, they still failed to change much because there was a naturally formed stone in the river. .
clan.
Fei Qian has used inspections to encroach on some of the rights belonging to the clan, but the things that have been invaded will be re-posted if you don''t pay attention. After all, the inspection system was only "created" by Fei Qian. Generally speaking, it is At present, it can only be regarded as "temporary" and "local", and cannot become a normative and unified thing like the "three rites".
The clans exercised dual official and unofficial powers in the countryside. To put it simply, there are both black and white, which is very destructive to ordinary people. This is the limitation of the times, and it is also a big stone that blocks the river.
If Fei Qian wanted to smash it open, he or Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin and others would not be able to do it, because the clan is the clan of the people in the world and is a relic of the Chinese tribal system. Without Fei Qian''s words, Or if inspections are carried out for more than ten years, it can be eliminated in several decades.
· Clan is not inherently bad, and in the current stage of productivity, it cannot be beaten to death with a stick. Again, if the cephalosporin and wine are separated, there will be no big problem.
It''s like Confucian scholars and authority, knowledge and money.
And this separate charter is also a rule.
??This is what Qinglong Temple and Zheng Xuan and his gang should do.
What is the result? Zheng Xuan looked good at the beginning, but he was kicked halfway into the undercurrent. Fei Qian finally pulled Zheng Xuan back with a force. When he looked back, Zheng Xuan touched in the wrong direction again.
???This is not a monopoly, nor is it a single word, nor is it the moment Confucius'' holy words come out, the world is boiling and shaking!
The key point is still the method, how to find the "first stone"!
The ancient ape took out the hard stone from the long river of history, broke open the bones abandoned by the lion, tiger, wolf, hyena, and ate the marrow in the bone, and then imprinted the sweetness of fat into human genes. , the use of tools…
??During the transition between tribes and countries, Duke Zhou found the stone of Zhou Li and hammered the tribes into a country bit by bit, so that Chinese civilization could survive together regardless of the West, Qi, and East...
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius traveled around the world to separate stones and broke down the barriers of knowledge, so that the fire of civilization was not limited to the hands of a few people, and the classics could be freed from mystery.
Then what?
Zheng Xuan obviously had a "stone" in his hand, but he threw it away when he was busy with things and his mind was confused. Now a group of people gathered again, but they were holding something other than a stone, at least it was not the original stone.
What is Zheng Xuan doing now?
Instead, he lost the most original thing...
Learning.
Learning and inquiry.
As a result, Zheng Xuan is no longer allowed to "ask" because of what happened before, and only "study" is left.
It is normal to have questions. The process of explaining questions is also a process of "learning", just like the files of Zhiyin Supervisor that record the various affairs handled in those places. There must be good ones, bad ones, and even bad ones. Deliberately causing harm.
It may not be possible to tell at the moment, but as long as you raise it up or zoom out, you can certainly figure out some of it. Whether it is good or bad may not be clear at a glance, but you can still make a judgment to some extent.
This requires constant sorting out, instead of setting a set of models today, which can be used forever and at any time. As a result, when problems arise, it is not the model that adapts to changes in people, but people who adapt to them. The rigidity of the model, isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
??But it happened that Zheng Xuan had such signs.
?Of course, Fei Qian can also understand.
After all, Zheng Xuan was annoyed to death by the buzzing of a lot of people before. After getting some advice from Fei Qian, he realized that he couldn''t follow these flies all the way, so he used a fly swatter and swatted it away. The ones who shouted the loudest successfully suppressed the original chaotic shouts.
?However, the most common problems in China arise...
‘Overcorrection’.
Because there was a piece of rat droppings, not only did the pot get thrown away, but the two hands used for cooking also had to be chopped off...
But the problem may not be solved.
Block your eyes, plug your mouth, and chop off your hands. Will the problem disappear automatically?
But there are some people who think this is a good idea!
Once done, it lasts for thousands of years!
But the one who threw rat droppings might have been that one yesterday, and he might be this one today.
The next pot of soup, porridge and rice may still cause problems.
If we don’t solve the problem fundamentally, is there any use in blindfolding, gagging and chopping hands?
"Three rites are not Zheng''s rites..." Fei Qian looked at Qinglong Temple, "The rites given by Duke Zhou are more important than how to rite, not how to rite... So this question is left to the two of you... It is mainly you who do it, Ziyu." , Shiyuan is responsible for coordinating...』
??Fei Qian turned to look at Pang Tong, "The mountain people will arrive in two days. At that time... let him come on stage... If Zheng Gong still doesn''t know what to do, let him step down and think carefully before going up to talk..."
