Chapter 2840 Can be used as a defense at home and abroad
The simpler something is, the less simple it is.
It was as if Feizhen knew that his father had some questions that were not simple questions.
Doctor? Fei Zhen repeated it softly, and then thought about it, "Father, what you mean is not just about his official position?" 』
Fei Qian laughed dumbly. Has this guy learned the elimination method? So he said: "Think about it first, and then think about it." 』
?Fei Qian is indeed not just talking about official positions.
Rather, it refers to a class.
?Fei Qian had proposed the concept of class before, but Fei Zhen was not able to fully understand it. After all, at Fei Zhen''s current age, he is unable to form an effective understanding of this very abstract concept. Fei Qian needs to continue to give examples and then deepen his understanding step by step.
ifies the emperor as having three princes, nine ministers, twenty-seven ministers, and eighty-one scholars. So this doctor..." Fei Zhen looked at Fei Qian and said, "Father''s intention is that he is the assistant of the Duke and is led by the nobles? When the King of Qin sends out troops, he wants to watch the Jin Kingdom externally, but he wants to watch the officials internally? 』
Haha, that’s right. Fei Qian nodded and said, "So Shen Baoxu is crying outside, what is King Qin doing inside?" Are you playing? 』
Feizhen shook her head and said, then suddenly she seemed to think of something, clapped her hands, and said excitedly, "It must be a discussion with the doctor... Oh, father, are you saying that the doctors in Qin State have different opinions?" ! King Qin not only has to consider foreign affairs, but also needs to consider the people at home! yes! This has been the case for thousands of years! There are enemies abroad and there are enemies at home! What cannot be controlled internally cannot be controlled externally! The restlessness of Chu State cannot be controlled from within! The defeat of Wu State cannot be controlled from within! Those who achieve great things can guard the inside and outside! 』
?Feizhen shook her head with some pride~(ω).
Fei Qian laughed and gave Fei Zhen a thumbs up to express his praise.
?Father and son laughed heartily for a while.
‘Okay…’ Fei Qian knocked on the table and stopped laughing, ‘Shen Baoxu, cry for Qin Ting… Where is the King of Qin, he sings Wu Yi… So why does King Qin sing Wu Yi? You even gave Shen Baoxu some clothes to wear? Is this the only thing I need to apply for Baoxu? Haha... So look, the reason why Qin was able to unify was not without reason..."
“Then, who will be the leader of King Qin’s army?” Fei Qian asked, and then after seeing Fei Zhen''s confused expression, he said, "Zi Pu, Second General Zi Hu." 』
“…” Fei Zhen’s eyes were a little confused, and she obviously had no impression of these two people.
“Perhaps during the reign of the King of Qin, these two people were considered generals...” Fei Qian waved his hand and said, “However, looking at Zuo Zhuan, the two of them only went out for the commander-in-chief once..."
Five hundred times.
??If we say it is a small amount, although the Chu State at that time was known as a million people, it only had a thousand chariots, so the Qin State''s support of 500 chariots was not considered a small amount. Of course, perhaps because Chu State is not in the Central Plains, vehicles are not as useful as boats, and it is possible that the proportion of passengers is relatively small compared to vehicles.
??If you say too much, well, it really can’t be considered too much. After all, compared with the data of the wars in the late Warring States Period, 500 times can barely even be considered a partial army. And according to the urine characteristics of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, or the consistent habits of the Chinese ancestors, these five hundred times are likely to be false references, just like Sun Shiwan always used one hundred thousand...
Someone in Jiangdong felt a fever in his ears.
What''s even more interesting is that these two "generals" rushed to the front with great momentum. Then when they were about to fight for the first time, they openly stated that they had no experience fighting the Wu army and let the Chu soldiers go first...
Shen Baoxu could only stare and said okay, I, the State of Chu, will go first.
Then when Chu and Wu were fighting together, Qin came out and Wu was shocked. He didn''t know the surrounding situation or how many troops Qin had sent, so he immediately withdrew his troops cautiously, and was soon pursued by Qin and Chu. Kill, defeat.
This is also normal.
What is abnormal is that when Qin State said for the first time that it had no experience in fighting Wu State, and then won the battle, it did not immediately pursue the victory. Instead, it immediately changed the subject and said that Wu State was nothing more than this and Chu State would win!
So let’s go attack the Tang Dynasty...
Of course, the reasons are very good. For example, after marching, the Tang State may be on the flanks, which may cause harassment to the military line, damage food routes, etc., but in reality?
Fei Zhen scratched his head a little. He was not very clear about these military things, so it was difficult for him to understand the questions raised by Fei Qian.
"Let''s put it this way, there was a fire in someone''s home, and they came to you for help, saying that they wanted you to help put out the fire..." Fei Qian gave a relatively simple example, "Then you also went and brought some water. , put out the fire in his courtyard, and then said that the fire can definitely be put out, so let''s go somewhere else to play for a while..."
??The Tang Dynasty is said to be a country, but it is actually just a city. Although the Tang State was indeed on the flank, its country was too small. If they really saw the coalition forces, they would not dare to let go of one more thing. How dare they come out to harass the rear of the coalition forces and invade the coalition''s chrysanthemums?
So...what my father means is that Zi Pu and Zi Hu will slack off? Or...Qin doesn''t really want to save Chu? ” Feizhen thought about it, then raised her eyebrows, “Or... it’s a matter of fact? 』
Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "I don''t know." 』
"ah? ” Feizhen’s eyes widened.
『Ah haha, you don’t think I know everything? Zuo Zhuan didn''t write it down, so it can only be an inference. Fei Qian said, "What you said is all possible, and I think the most important thing is still the Jin State... So don''t look at the Qin State''s great momentum, but in fact from the beginning to the expedition to aid Chu, in fact, The State of Qin was not willing... Strictly speaking, it was King Qin who wanted to help Chu, but Doctor Qin didn''t think so... Do you know why? 』
?Fei Zhen shook her head subconsciously, and then looked at Fei Qian with some worry, fearing that Fei Qian would scold him for not thinking, but this time Fei Qian didn''t say anything, but gave the answer directly.
"Because of the marriage..." Fei Qian smiled, "Who is the marriage between Qin and Chu?" So if among the King of Qin and the officials of Qin, there is one who wants to save Chu State more, who would it be? 』
『King of Qin! Feizhen said, "If the King of Chu dies, then the friendship forged by the previous marriage may be gone!" At least it is in vain. If we marry again, we will need to send new people, and secondly, it may not have the original effect..."
Fei Qian nodded and said with a smile: "The King of Qin will send troops for seven days before and after!" Shen Baoxu just cried, but King Qin had to put in so much effort and thought, and he had to sing Wuyi himself in front of the public. In the end, when he went to battle, he might not be able to go as King Qin wanted... So do you understand? So...it''s still the same question as before, what does it mean to be a doctor? 』
Feizhen fell silent and frowned.
"If you can''t understand this question, you can refer to another question..." Fei Qian said, "Is it a doctor who governs scholars, or a scholar who controls officials?" 』
Fei Zhen said smoothly: "Of course, it is the way for the officials to rule the officials, the public, the ministers, the officials, and the scholars. This is the etiquette of the Spring, Autumn, and Zhou Dynasties. It has been like this since Qin and Han Dynasties." 』
Fei Qian smiled and said, "If that''s the case, why do you call him a ''scholar-official''?" There is also a saying in the Zhou Dynasty, "He who sits down and discusses the Tao is called a prince. When he works and practices, he is called a scholar-official." A king is a public servant, and a scholar is a senior official. How can we explain this? 』
‘This…’ Feizhen stared.
“However,” Fei Qian looked at Fei Zhen and said with a smile, “Xunzi also said, “Great doctors and scholars have Chang Zong.” This doctor is ahead of the scholars again! What’s the explanation for this? Is it a scholar who is a superior scholar, or a scholar who is subordinate to a scholar? 』
??If you were from later generations, you wouldn''t be able to lie about it. Is the front and rear position that important? However, countless historical experiences, as well as the ordering of names of various parliaments in later capitalism, etc., all tell one thing, the order cannot be disrupted at will. If you don’t believe it, you can try it by putting the name of the company boss behind the cleaner at the next meeting.
Level is level, and gap is gap. Everything is not a matter of a certain person, or a certain media, and then directing and acting to say that those who wear long gowns and those who work on screws are equal in status, then there can really be no distinction. Up and down, equal status. No matter how beautifully the person wearing a long gown sings beautifully on stage, he would definitely not be willing to take off his long gown and drill screws for the rest of his life.
So those who wear long robes ask others to take off their long robes, so as to ensure that they are not taken off their long robes. It is like a doctor who should hold down a scholar, but why did the scholar sit on him later?
At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the officials came in front and the scholars came behind. At the end of the Warring States Period, the scholars came first, and the officials followed. ” Fei Qian lightly knocked on the table, “This is what I want...then, why did it change?” 』
春秋? Warring States Period? ” Feizhen stared, “The Spring and Autumn Scholars are in the back, the Warring States Scholars are in the front... This, ah! Father, did you say that during the Warring States Period, great officials fell while scholars rose? So there are changes? 』
Fei Qian nodded slightly, "Then why did the authority of the officials decline during the Warring States Period?" 』
Fei Zhen subconsciously wanted to say "How do I know", but she swallowed it before she could say it. He knew that if he really said that, Fei Qian would ask him to go to the Cai Library to "know" it again.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and for a long time before that, people were called "officials". However, in the late Warring States period, there were more "officials" and they continued into the later dynasties. They were still often called "officials" until the Han Dynasty. They are called "Scholar-bureaucrats" instead of "Scholar-bureaucrats" as in the early Spring and Autumn Period.
"Common people can''t do it just once and be upright, and there are scholars who can do it; scholars can''t do it twice and they can do it right, and there are great officials who can do it; great officials can''t do it twice and they can do it right, and there are princes who can do it..." Fei Qian said slowly, "It can be seen from this that, It was obvious that the scholar was at the bottom at first, but then..."
Fei Qian smiled meaningfully, and then his eyes turned to Fei Zhen, "Do you understand?" The Warring States Period...』
"oh! Understood! Fei Zhen slapped her hands and said, "The lower one defeats the upper one!" The same was true for King Qin at that time! The King of Qin wanted to take action, but the officials blocked it! Fei Qian smiled and nodded, "Let''s talk about it." 』
春秋! Warring States! ” Feizhen had obviously found the main direction of the problem, “The great officials of the Spring and Autumn Period were feudal lords from the clan, and they were also hereditary great bureaucrats! However, hereditary officials may not be able to do their job, so they are left to the scholars! Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, scholars had their own abilities and positions, so they... usurped the throne..."
Feizhen''s face suddenly darkened.
Only when he got here did he fully understand what his father wanted to say to him.
?Whether before the Spring and Autumn Period or the Warring States Period, a doctor refers to a person with a certain official position and title. There is no doubt about this. In the early days, doctors were of a higher level than scholars, which was no problem at all. But starting from the middle and late Warring States Period, scholars appeared before doctors. At the beginning, perhaps it was to mark a certain doctor. They were not hereditary, but were promoted from scholars, so they were called scholar-officials. Later, it became a description of the group of people who became officials through promotion among the entire scholars.
Because the original hereditary doctor had been separated from the grassroots for too long, he did not know the changes at the grassroots level. He still remained in his superior self-goodness and did not realize the danger was coming. He still existed in the illusion of self-goodness. Secondly, he also interacted with the grassroots There is no common language, so when the hereditary doctor encounters "danger", he also loses the protection from the grassroots, is overthrown by the soldiers, and strips off his long robe.
?Then the scholar put on the long robe and became a scholar-official.
But this is not an end, just a beginning.
大夫士, scholar-bureaucrat.
Then what?
There are people below the scholars, and ministers above the officials.
Who can guarantee that the situation of officials and scholar-officials will not evolve on other levels?
Is it guidance or confinement?
"Read more about the Spring and Autumn Period, think more about it, use your brain more..." Fei Qian said meaningfully, "In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the plans and plans can be seen today, and they have been revealed again, but the changes are different... For example, as mentioned before The king of Qin sent troops. At that time, Sun Tzu traveled from Qi to Wu. Recommended by the military officers, the battle of Baiju shocked the world and almost overthrew the state of Chu...The king of Qin wanted to save him, but the officials were afraid of him, so he could only go there in seven days, and he sang without clothes to strengthen him. However, he was timid before fighting, and then avoided fighting. If no Yue Kingdom participated in the war later, would it be an act to aid Chu... Haha, so it can be seen that at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the power of the Qin officials was very powerful... Then, until Shang Yang political reform…"
Beasts cannot compare to humans. This is a fact that the earth’s ecology has proven over thousands of years.
?Humans do not have the sharp claws and teeth of beasts, and even have various defects in their bodies, but the only thing stronger than beasts is their brains.
?Fei Qian continued.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the officials were like this, but at the end of the Warring States Period, why were the scholars better than the officials? 』
“Doctor Gein believes that the inheritance is permanent and can be enjoyed by generations to come. The doctor does not want to make progress, for fear of losing his position. So what? A scholar is a scholar-official. 』
"Sciences were born from the Spring and Autumn Period, grew up from the Warring States Period, and flourished from the Han Dynasty..." Fei Qian''s eyes seemed to penetrate the fog of history, seeing more and remembering more, "Nowadays, it is a period of prosperity and decline." , or continues up? If the official is not good, the scholar will replace him. If the scholar is not good, who can replace him? 』
?The scholars took off the doctor''s robe and put it on themselves, and then formed a new generation of scholar-officials. What will they do next? Will you lead more people to wear long gowns, or will you coax others to say that long gowns are not easy to wear or look good at all, and that it is best for everyone to wear short coats, which are closest to nature and return to the true self?
Just like after the Confucian disciples were taught without distinction at the beginning, will they uphold the spirit of Confucius, expand their knowledge and teach it to the world, or will they deliberately raise the threshold to show that knowledge is difficult and studying is hard, and even if they study It may not be of any use, why not just farm honestly from the beginning?
When Fei Qian was in later generations, he was baptized by a very large-scale wave of opinions on the uselessness of reading. In the whole noisy and chaotic wave, how many people saw their own direction clearly, and how many people just followed the trend? How many people know that under such surging waves, are they artificial waves or spontaneous social fluctuations?
??Anyway, Fei Qian saw that the current scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty had gradually begun to move toward the path of becoming officials at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Arrogance.
Scorn.
Oppression.
arrogance.
Then during the Jin Dynasty, the emperor who climbed up from the gentry expressed his innocence and bewilderment as to why he should not eat minced meat.
? During the Warring States Period, would a soldier with bare feet and a sword standing in front of the people, leading the people to work and fight, say such a thing?
??Having just kicked down a doctor, would a taxi wearing a long gown say that it is better to dig in the soil than to wear a long gown?
?What kind of change did those scholars who became great officials feel that they both want and want, and both are and and?
What changed everything?
What caused the great officials in the late Spring and Autumn Period to fall?
What makes the new generation of taxis become doctors again?
The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon.
This is not an empty statement.
In the feudal era, it was often doomed.
Because we can’t see far and we can’t think far.
"There is chaos in the Western Region..." Fei Qian asked Feizhen, "You also know about this." So do you feel scared? Are you afraid that the Western Region will spread to Chang''an, which will lead to the collapse of Chang''an''s three auxiliary forces and the world''s instability? Yes, why not? 』
Because my father is here. ” Feizhen said, “If I only let my child face the events in the Western Regions, he will definitely be panicked...”
Fei Qian nodded, "Only when you have something in your heart can you stay calm." The basis in your heart is in someone. And the proof in someone''s heart is that the people in Guanzhong are united as one. Everything in the world is like this, and there is no use in fearing it. Just like Sima, if he has lived in Dali Temple for a long time, he will covet his merits. If he does not lead him to be good, he will easily use him to do evil. Chu and Qin had good relations and marriages were righteous, but if they were used improperly, they would become evil. Then there was the incident of Wu Zixu and others. 』
With the strength of only two men, you may be able to capture tigers and leopards, or you may be able to fight hundreds of brave men, but you cannot defeat a country. 』
The same is true in the Western Regions. You may be able to defeat an army, but you cannot defeat a country. 』
What is a country? Just doctors? Just for scholars? 』
‘Therefore, the King of Chu lost, and the King of Wu gained, and the King of Wu lost, and the King of Qin gained, this is the case. The unification of Qin was not what Qin gained, but what the six countries lost. 』
『In the Warring States Period, when the officials lost something and the scholars gained it, they were the scholar-officials. It is not the loss of one official but the loss of all the officials. 』
What should the scholars do now? 』
『If a scholar is lost, who will be gained? 』
Can you answer these...? Fei Qian first looked at the sky in the distance, then cast his gaze on Fei Zhen, and said with a smile, "Read more and think carefully." Only then can you lose less and gain more. It was like this in ancient times, and it should be like this now. Hmm...I heard that you boasted that after reading Spring and Autumn Period, you just played around for several days? 』
Feizhen trembled and said with a straight face: "My child... I know I''m wrong!" Thanks for the advice, Father! My child, go and study hard now..."
?Fei Qian nodded.
Feizhen wiped her sweat, bowed again, got up, and went to the back hall.
??Fei Zhen''s character has not yet been settled, so it is normal for her to be playful and active. Fei Qian did not say that she must be tied up. She cannot play at all, but she cannot play to distract herself...
It is not a bad thing for a person to be ambitious. The bad thing is that ambition cannot be controlled.
?It is not a bad thing if a person likes beauty. The bad thing is that he wants to occupy all the beauty by any means.
It is not a bad thing for a person to put on a robe. The bad thing is that when he puts on the robe, he wants to prevent others from wearing robes...
Fei Qian smiled and said in a low voice, "King Chu Ping, how beautiful is the daughter of Qin?" 』
