About Confucianism in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty
Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was unlucky because he came out as a backdrop when the old Liu family was reciting the ancestral precepts. But if we really talk about it, the matter of "purely relying on moral education and using Zhou government" really did not depend on Emperor Yuan. At the time of Zhaoxuan, the rise of Confucian ideology had already become a trend, and Emperor Xuan himself was very aware of this. Rather than saying that he really blamed the prince, it was more like people from the old days complaining that "the world is declining and the Han family is not ancient." However, judging from Emperor Xuan's arrangements for his posthumous affairs, Emperor Xuan was probably no longer obsessed with "overlord Taoism", but accepted the reality that the Han family would "purely rely on moral education and use Zhou government". Being close to Confucian scholars naturally does not constitute a reason to depose the prince. 1. Emperor Xuan's attitude towards Confucianism Emperor Xuan said: "The Han family has its own system, which is originally based on the overlord and the Taoism. However, it is purely based on moral education and uses Zhou government! Moreover, vulgar Confucianism is not up to date. What is good is ancient and not modern. It makes people dazzled by their names and not knowing what they are doing, so why should they be appointed?" Nai sighed and said, "The one who messed up my family is the prince!" Because he loved the prince, he said, "The king of Huaiyang knows the law well and should be my son." Queen Mother Zhang Jieyu is especially lucky. The emperor wanted to replace the prince with the King of Huaiyang, but he relied on the Xu family, and they all started from a humble background, so they never betrayed him. As for the reason why Emperor Xuan did not abolish the crown prince, it has been explained in the Han Dynasty. It was mainly because of Xu's old relationship, which is naturally an important direct reason. In addition to family relationships, it is also worth noting the relationship between the Han system and Confucianism. As for the description of the King of Huaiyang, in addition to the "clear knowledge and good knowledge of the law" mentioned here, his biography records that he is "good at scriptures and laws, intelligent and talented, and the emperor loves him very much". He is indeed a suitable candidate for the "overlord's Taoism". However, Emperor Xuan did not establish King Huaiyang in the end. In addition to family ties, it may also be related to his attitude towards Confucianism. It is worth noting that after reprimanding the prince for being purely religious and "disrupting my family", Emperor Xuan personally presided over the Shiqu Pavilion meeting, where many issues of Confucian classics were discussed extensively, and the important status of Liang Chunqiu was gradually established. For this matter, Emperor Xuan was also within Confucian ideology. Also worthy of attention is Emperor Xuan's attitude towards Xiao Wangzhi. Xiao Wangzhi was dissatisfied with the "overlord Dao Zazhi" style officials of Emperor Xuan's dynasty, so he wrote a letter to criticize. Emperor Xuan was angry, but his treatment of Xiao Wangzhi was quite playful: Wangzhi was dismissed and ignored. As Taifu, he was awarded the title of "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Dress" to the crown prince. On the one hand, Emperor Xuan abandoned Xiao Wangzhi, but on the other hand, he did not completely drive him out of the political arena. Instead, he placed him in the very subtle position of crown prince and tutor. If he really regarded Confucianism as a disorderly government, why did he let him teach the prince? Where did the concept of the prince originate? What is even more obvious is that the three people who took care of Emperor Xuan before his death were precisely Xiao Wangzhi, Zhou Kan, and Shi Gao, not Huang Ba and Yu Dingguo, who were the overlords of Dao Zazhi. Among the three, Shi Gao was a relative and "just filled a high position", while Xiao Wangzhi and Zhou Kan were both Confucian leaders. In this regard, Emperor Xuan, who flaunted his life of "overlord and Taoism", was truly "purely committed to moral education and used Zhou government" when he was dying. In order to understand this change of Emperor Xuan, we must go back to the historical context of Zhaoxuan and the rise of Confucianism at this stage. 2. The rise of Confucianism during the Zhaoxuan period Today we already know that the so-called exclusive respect for Confucianism during the Emperor Wu period is more of a myth. In the era of Emperor Wu, there were only a handful of officials with Confucian backgrounds, and most of them were directly attached to Emperor Wu himself and did not form their own power network. Therefore, in the era of Emperor Wu, Confucianism, like their epitome Gongsun Hong, only played a "fashion" role. However, at the time of Zhaoxuan, with the death of Emperor Wu and the huge power vacuum caused by the witchcraft disaster, Confucianism began to develop rapidly in the imperial court, until it became an important ideology affecting the court in the late Western Han Dynasty. Specifically, "the rise of Confucianism in the Zhaoxuan era" includes two dimensions: the rise of Confucian scholars to power and the universalization of Confucian discourse. The power of Confucian scholars specifically includes two aspects. The first is the increase in the number of Confucian students in the court. The second is that Confucian students gradually formed a power network centered on father and son and teacher-inheritance from an isolated state. As far as the former is concerned, according to Cai Liang's statistics, there were only six Confucian high-ranking officials in Emperor Wu's dynasty, while there was a sharp contrast in the three dynasties of Zhao, Xuan and Yuan that were similar to the same time. Among the 74 senior officials with relatively clear identities, 24 were Confucian scholars. Five of the 11 prime ministers were Confucian scholars, and another three began to study Confucianism after entering politics. In actual political operations, even relatives and eunuchs also focused on promoting Confucian scholars to strengthen their own legitimacy. For example, the eunuch Shi Xian, who was opposed to Xiao Wangzhi, also promoted Confucian scholars Kuang Heng and Gong Yu. For grammar officials, mastering Confucianism is also an important way to get appointed: Yoshimoto started as a minor official in prison law, and later studied "Poetry" and "Li", both of which understood the great meaning. Dingguo welcomes his teacher to study the Spring and Autumn Annals. He holds the scriptures and prepares disciples' rituals in the north. As for the latter, after occupying high positions, these Confucian scholars no longer relied on the imperial power in isolation as they did during Emperor Wu's period, but instead turned to running their own power network. Also according to Cai Liang's statistics, 25 of the high-ranking officials after becoming emperor came from the Confucian political families of the Zhaoxuan era. The Wei, Xiao, Bing, Wang, and Kong families all continued their power. If inheritance from father to son is still the conventional logic of politics, then what is more Confucian is undoubtedly the power network between teachers and students. Four of Xiahou Shichang's disciples served as prime ministers and 12 became high-ranking officials, while 6 and 5 of Ouyang Gao and Suimeng's disciples became senior officials respectively. In a broader sense, "recommendation" has also become an important way to expand the power network among Confucian scholars. For example, Prime Minister Wei recommended Xiao Wangzhi; Xiao Wangzhi recommended Xue Guangde and Kuang Heng. This is completely opposite to the mutual criticism among Confucian scholars in the Emperor Wu Dynasty. Confucian scholars have already formed a social network and identity. In addition to actual political power, the universalization of Confucian discourse also illustrates the prosperity of Confucianism. In the frequent political changes during the Zhaoxuan period, Confucianism became more and more clearly the source of political legitimacy. In Bingji's petition to establish Emperor Xuan, he emphasized that Emperor Xuan was "skilled in reading scriptures, had beautiful materials, and was safe and temperate." And in the final edict to establish Emperor Xuan, it was also mentioned: Filial piety Emperor Wu's great-grandson was ill, and he was given an imperial edict to take care of him. By the eighteenth year of this year, he had studied "Poems", "The Analects of Confucius", and "The Classic of Filial Piety" under his tutelage. He was thrifty, kind and loving, so he could succeed Emperor Xiaozhao, flatter his ancestors, and have a surname of Wan. What is particularly noteworthy is Huo Guang's attitude. Huo Shan said, "Confucian scholars often visit other people, travel to distant places and are hungry and cold, and like to talk nonsense without avoiding taboos. The generals often hate them." This shows that in terms of his true intentions, this most important person in power at the time of Zhaoxuan was not enamored of Confucianism. But in actual political operations, Huo Guang still had to show his emphasis on Confucianism. "The Queen Mother is responsible for the administration of affairs, so she should know the classics. Bai Lingsheng taught the Queen Mother the Book of Documents". When Jun Buyi used the "Spring and Autumn Annals" to arrest the person pretending to be the Crown Prince of Wei, Huo Guang "heard it and praised it" and emphasized: The ministers should use Confucian classics to understand Dayi. In this regard, whether it is the abolition of the emperor or actual political operations, Confucianism has increasingly become a source of political legitimacy. Even people like Huo Guang who do not agree with Confucianism need to declare and emphasize the legitimacy of Confucianism in political activities. As an ideological discourse, Confucianism is becoming more and more powerful. An example for reference is the acceptance of the theory of induction between heaven and man in the Zhaoxuan era. In the Western Han Dynasty, the concept of telepathy between heaven and man can be traced back to the period of Emperor Wen, but it was not generally accepted until the era of Emperor Wu. Dong Zhongshu once used a fire in a high temple in Liaodong to refer to Liu An, the king of Huainan. Emperor Wu dismissed this and was even considered stupid by his disciple Lu Bushu who did not know the truth. However, in the political struggles of the Zhaoxuan era, it gradually became an accepted norm to attack political opponents with the theory of heaven and man induction. In the two most intense political struggles of the Zhaoxuan era, we can see the figure of the discourse of heaven and man induction: When Huo Guang was planning to depose Liu He, Xia Housheng once advised Liu He: The sky has been overcast for a long time without rain, and my ministers have plans for the better. What do you want, your majesty? When Emperor Xuan tried to fight back against the Huo family, Xiao Wangzhi played: In "Spring and Autumn", there was heavy rain and hail in the third year of Zhaogong. It was the time when the Ji family took exclusive power and died to chase Zhaogong. ... The good and auspiciousness has not yet been achieved, and the yin and yang are not in harmony. This is caused by the ministers taking charge of the government and the surname being dominant. To sum up, the development of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty did not take shape during the period of Emperor Wu or the subsequent Yuan Dynasty, but precisely during the Zhaoxuan period. Under the new historical situation, Confucianism, as an emerging ideology, was bound to have a fundamental conflict with the Han system and even the Han Dynasty itself. This was the source of Emperor Xuan's rebuke to the prince. 3. The conflict between Confucian ideology and the Han family Under Emperor Wu's high-pressure policy, the growth of Confucianism was actually suppressed. Also suppressed was Confucian students' dissatisfaction with the Han family's policies. With the death of Emperor Wu, this dissatisfaction was concentratedly displayed in the Salt and Iron Conference. At the Salt and Iron Conference, the Confucian scholars focused on attacking Sang Hongyang and many of the policies of Emperor Wu's Dynasty that he represented. However, the final result of the conference was only the abolition of the prefecture-state Jiuyan and the Guannei Iron Officials, without any fundamental changes. Since then, Confucian scholars have gradually become disappointed with the Han Dynasty, and therefore, guided by Confucian ideology, they have embarked on a more radical path. The "Gongsun disease has been established" incident may be due to the planning of Prince Wei and his family, but what is also worthy of attention is the use of the topic by Confucian scholars. Dong Zhongshu's disciple Sui Meng pushed the meaning of "Spring and Autumn" and interpreted it as: After Yao of the Han Dynasty, there was a destiny of spreading the country. Who should the Emperor of the Han Dynasty send out to the world to seek out sages, take the throne of the emperor in Zen, and retreat to Baili to claim the title of Queen of Yin or Tuesday, in order to obey the destiny of heaven? Relying on Confucian classics, Suimeng used the fact that "Gongsun Bing was established" to ask the Han Dynasty to abdicate, and was eventually executed. This incident clearly reflected the dissatisfaction of Confucian scholars after the Salt and Iron Conference, and started the "concession trend" that lasted throughout the late Western Han Dynasty. What is particularly worth noting is that the origin of the prince whom Emperor Xuan rebuked is: Seeing that Emperor Xuan used a multi-lingual legal official to be roped off with the name of punishment, ministers Yang Yun, Gai Kuorao and others sat down and made sarcastic remarks to punish him for his crime. The servant Yan calmly said: "Your Majesty's punishment is too deep, it is better to use Confucian scholars." The Gai Kuanrao mentioned here was punished precisely because he was involved in the trend of abdication. Gai Kuanrao once mentioned in his first letter: Five emperors govern the world, and three princes have families in the world. The family passes down the sons, and the officials pass on the virtuous. If the luck of the four times is good, those who succeed will go away, and those who are not worthy will not occupy their positions. Based on this perspective, we can re-understand Emperor Xuan's rebuke of the prince and his emphasis on the Han family system. For Emperor Xuan, who always advocated "overlord Taoism", on the one hand he was helplessly aware of the unstoppable rise of Confucianism, and on the other hand he was angry that they dared to make fierce demands for the Han family to abdicate. In the context of the looming conflict between Confucianism and the Han family, the prince actually suggested to him that Confucian scholars should be re-employed. If I don't scold you, who will you scold? However, after being furious, Emperor Xuan finally calmed down, so he would preside over the Shiqu Pavilion meeting and order Xiao Wangzhi and Zhou Kan to assist in the administration. "The prince who disturbed my family" was just an angry remark. He was an eyewitness and even a beneficiary of the rise of Confucianism during the Zhaoxuan period. No one knew better than him that the rise of Confucianism was a historical trend that would not be changed by anyone. I wonder if Emperor Xuan, before his death, accepted the Han world of "pure moral education and Zhou government"? Private Time Finally, we take a moment to discuss Emperor Yuan. Although the "Book of Han" does mention that the young and Confucian prince did change the strategy of the overlord Dao Zazhi during the Xuan Emperor period after he came to the throne: Xuan Emperor did not follow Confucianism very much and used law He was good at Confucianism and diction, which quite changed Xuan Emperor's politics But if he returns When looking at the political environment of the Yuan Dynasty, we will find that objectively speaking, regardless of their true intentions or not, it was Shi Xian, Hong Gong and other eunuchs left over from the Xuan Dynasty who really had the upper hand, while Confucian scholars such as Xiao Wangzhi, Zhou Kan, Zhang Meng and others all died tragically in the political disputes of the Yuan Dynasty. Xiao Wang wrote a letter attacking Shi Xian, Hong Gong and others: Shang Shu is the foundation of hundreds of officials, and the country's cardinals should be dealt with transparently and fairly. ... It is appropriate to dismiss the eunuchs in Zhongshu, and stay away from executioners in accordance with ancient times. However, the emperor's attitude was that "Emperor Yuan did not listen, so he showed his disobedience." In sharp contrast, when Hong Gong, Shi Xian and others attacked Xiao Wangzhi: Wang Zhi, Kan, and Gengsheng were all praised by their friends. Emperor Yuan later explained that he did not know the purpose of summoning the court captain and mistakenly sent Xiao Wang to prison, but he was eventually released as a commoner. Later, Emperor Yuan allegedly intended to make Xiao Wangzhi his prime minister, but under the same criticism from Shi Xian and Hong Gong, he actually made Xiao Wangzhi commit suicide. When Xiao Wangzhi and others attacked Shi Xian, Emperor Yuan's attitude was "not listening." However, when Shi Xian and others attacked Xiao Wang, Emperor Yuan always half-heartedly put Xiao Wangzhi in danger. Comparing the two, he seemed to trust Shi Xian, Hong Gong and other Zhongshu eunuchs more. In addition, this "good Confucian" emperor did not seem to have too strong enthusiasm for the Confucian restructuring that prevailed in the late Western Han Dynasty. During his reign, only the ancestral temple reform was relatively important. However, even this reform had many iterations and was not really finalized until the Wang Mang era. In this regard, in the actual political career of Emperor Yuan, we do not seem to see the prince who "purely taught morality and used Zhou politics". Compared with "excellent in Confucianism and literary words, and quite modified the politics of Emperor Xuan", perhaps "the middle man has no foreign parties, is expert and trustworthy, and then entrusts him with politics" is a better evaluation of Emperor Yuan. It seems that we can only explain it as: Emperor Xuan really scolded Emperor Yuan clearly. Of course, I don't think this means that Emperor Yuan was a man of scheming or good at hiding. On the contrary, he had the same problem as the later Emperor Cheng, lacking keen political thinking and control. He is not a thorough idealist like Wang Mang. He does not have much deep understanding and preference for Confucianism. All he does is just follow the trend. His Taifu taught him Confucianism, so he just like Emperor Xuan suggested to appoint Confucian scholars. After he came to the throne, Shi Xian was able to exert better influence, so he caused his Taifu to die tragically. For Emperor Yuan and Emperor Cheng, their biggest mistake was not a certain political inclination, but precisely that they had no inclination. They lacked political insight and control, so they were at the mercy of the people around them, which ultimately caused the court to get out of control in their era. Based on this background, should we have more sympathy and understanding for Emperor Yuan and Emperor Cheng? My evaluation is: Climb. To be honest, when I was studying the Ming Dynasty, I met bastard emperors like Jiajing and Wanli every day. I could only awkwardly try to understand their inner world and spiritual internal friction, but this is the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties! We are looking at Emperor Gao, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, Emperor Wu, and Emperor Xuan. Even the most inferior Emperor Hui still knew how to recuperate and rule by doing nothing. Who are you, Yuancheng, and you asked me to take the time to understand you? Climb!
Well written. The protagonist can openly say: I want to be Confucius, a teacher for all generations. Secretly: People in the world asked me to be the emperor. Even the prince felt ashamed and voluntarily abdicated the throne in favor of a worthy person and asked me to be the emperor. When the protagonist's fame reaches a certain level (10,000), the prince will definitely feel scared, panic, and want to suppress him. But when the protagonist's fame reached the point where it was known to the whole world (1000000000000000), the prince could only bow his head silently, feeling ashamed of himself.
Reminds me of Oolong's love affair
I feel that Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was written too smartly. If he was as powerful as what you wrote in your book, Emperor Xuan wouldn't have wanted to replace him over and over again 🤫
Regarding the abilities of Emperor Han Yuan, some personal insights
Many book friends have responded saying that Emperor Yuan was really mediocre and incompetent in history and should not have been so powerful. I will provide you with a new idea. The following is purely my personal opinion: Generally speaking of the decline of the Western Han Dynasty, the four emperors "Yuan Cheng Aiping" are collectively called, and Emperor Yuan (Liu Shi) was the turning point of the Western Han Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and the initiator of the "Zhao Xuan" resurgence. Ban Gu's final comment in "The Chronicles of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty" said The brothers of my grandfather served as the servants of Emperor Yuan. I said to him: Emperor Yuan had many talents and skills and was good at history books. Playing the drum, harp, and harp, blowing the flute, meditating on one's own music, being sung to the sound of singing, dividing the verses into verses, and being extremely young. He was young but fond of Confucianism. When he came to the throne, he recruited Confucian students and entrusted them with political affairs. Gong, Xue, Wei and Kuangdie became prime ministers. However, the superiors restrained Wen Yi, wandering around continuously, and the cause of filial piety and xuan declined. However, he was generous and magnanimous, out of respect and frugality, and his orders were gentle and elegant, with the style of ancient times. The sentence "Xiao Xuan's career has declined" makes the previous praise of Emperor Yuan's versatility meaningless. However, it is widely praised "I heard that the great righteousness of the world should be mixed into one. In the past, there were Tang and Yu, and now there are strong Han Dynasties. The Huns called Han Xie Chanyu and they were called Beili, but the Zhizhi Chanyu was rebellious and did not betray him. In the west of the Great Xia, it was thought that a strong Han could not serve as a minister. The Zhizhi Chanyu did cruelty to the people and caused great evil to heaven. I extend my life, and I Tang, the righteous soldiers, went to heaven to kill, relying on your majesty's spirit, yin and yang responded, and the weather was shrewd. He defeated the enemy in Chen, beheaded the leader of the Zhizhi and the famous king, and stood in the barbarian mansion on Touji Street, Yixian County, to show that those who violated the strong Han would be killed no matter how far away! The reason why he was called a mediocre leader after receiving such extraordinary achievements was simply because Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty favored the eunuch Shi Xian, which caused party strife. In Wang Fuzhi's words, it really started the first party strife in Chinese history. The rise of cronyism began in the reign of Emperor Yuan. It has been affected by popular trends for thousands of years. Scholars gained false fame and suffered real disasters, and the country suffered its defeat. How sad! It is no surprise that Shi Xian was listed in the "Han Shu Biography of Ren Xing". Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, those who have been lucky have been Liu Bang, Emperor Taizu, Emperor Hui, Hong Ru, and Emperor Wen, Deng Tong. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Han Yan and Li Yannian were favored one after another. However, the combined influence of these people on the political arena of the Western Han Dynasty was not as great as that of Shi Xian, a favored minister of Emperor Yuan. Shi Xian, courtesy name Junfang, was from Jinan; Honggong was from Pei. All of them were rarely punished by law and corruption, and were selected as Zhonghuangmen, so they were selected as Zhongshangshu. Emperor Xuan was appointed as Zhongshuguan at that time. He was respectful and learned the stories of laws and regulations. He was good at asking for reports and was qualified for his position. Gong is an order, and he is a servant. A few years after Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, he died respectfully and was appointed Zhongshu Ling. He broke the law when he was young and entered the palace after being corrupted. He was appreciated in the era of Emperor Xuan and served as a servant of Zhongshu. He was able to control the palace documents around Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. The history of Shi Xian's fortune. In the era of Emperor Xuan, due to the emperor's heroic guessing and his proficiency in the art of emperorship, Shi Xian did not make any noise. Until Emperor Xuan Tuogu, Emperor Yuan succeeded to the throne. At the end of the first year of Emperor Xuan's Huanglong reign (49 BC) The emperor fell ill and selected his ministers. He invited his foreign ministers Shi Gao, Marquis of Leling, Prince Tai Fu Xiao Wangzhi, and Shao Fu Zhou Kan to the Imperial Palace. In winter, December, Jiaxu, the emperor died in Weiyang Palace. Emperor Xuan left three auxiliary ministers to the 26-year-old prince Liu Shi: Grand Sima and Chariot General Shi Gao (the eldest son of Emperor Xuan's grandmother's brother, who was Emperor Xuan's cousin); former general and Guanglu Xun Xiao Wangzhi; Guanglu doctor Zhou Kan (both of them were the prince's teachers), and the three of them served as ministers. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty entrusted him with an orphan 38 years ago, the concurrent official position of "leading (recording) Shangshu affairs" has vaguely overshadowed the traditional important ministers, prime ministers and imperial censors. The same was true when Emperor Xuan was entrusted with his duties. At this time, the prime minister was in Dingguo, and Chen Wannian, the imperial censor, basically filled the position. After Prince Liu Shi succeeded to the throne, the three Tuogu ministers naturally gained power in both the government and the public. However, conflicts arose within them. As a foreign relative, Shi Gao was appointed as the Minister to assist the government. Xiao Wangzhi and Zhou Kan were both teachers of Emperor Yuan when he was still the crown prince, and they were Confucian ministers. They obtained high positions with their knowledge. Naturally, they had some difficulties with their foreign relative Shi Gao. So Xiao Wangzhi and his two brothers took the lead in attacking and recommended several Confucian scholars with the intention of squeezing out Shi Gao. Shi Gao, Marquis of Leling, was in charge of the secretarial affairs, and former general Xiao Wangzhi and Guanglu doctor Zhou Kan were his deputy. Wang is known as a Confucian, and Kan both owes his old kindness to his master. The Emperor takes charge of him, meets him at several banquets, talks about how to rectify the chaos, and reports on the affairs of the king. Wangzhi selected Bai Clan Ming Jing Youxing Sanqi, admonished the official Liu Gengsheng to Shi Zhong, and together with the attendant Jin Chang, they picked up the left and right things. The four people conspired together to persuade them to use the ancient system and correct many of their wishes; they went to the countryside to accept them. Shi Gao only filled his position, so there is a gap between him and Wang Zhi. Emperor Liu Shi of the Yuan Dynasty was fond of Confucianism when he was the prince, and was criticized by Emperor Xuan for this. After succeeding to the throne, Confucian scholars were re-employed. Strong, gentle and Confucian. Seeing that the multi-literate legal officials used by Emperor Xuan were put under the rope with the name of punishment, and the ministers Yang Yun, Gai Kuorao and others sat down and made sarcastic remarks to be executed for their crimes. The servant Yan calmly said: "Your Majesty's punishment is too deep, it is better to use Confucian scholars." Emperor Xuan said: "The Han family has its own system, which is based on the overlord's way. However, it is pure moral education and uses Zhou Zheng. What's more, the vulgar Confucianism is not up to date, but it is the past and the present, which makes people confused by their names and not knowing what they are doing. How can they be appointed?" Nai sighed and said, "The one who messed up my family is the prince!" Therefore, Liu Gengsheng (Liu Xiang, the compiler of "Warring States Policy") and others recommended by Xiao Wangzhi were reused. If Shi Gao wants to fight back, he can only rely on Shi Xian, who is also favored by Emperor Yuan. Why did Emperor Yuan, who was fond of Confucianism, favor Shi Xian? The reason mentioned in the history books is that "there are no outsiders among the Chinese". However, when Shi Xian later declined, historical records clearly recorded that he had a wife and son: Xian and his wife moved back to their hometown. They were so worried that they could not eat, and died of illness. So obviously the theory that there are no outside parties is not valid. Let's first take a look at what Shi Xian did after he truly entered the decision-making ranks of the empire. Nothing is too small or too big, because it is clear and decisive, noble and lucky, and all the officials are respectful of the matter. Of course Xiao Wangzhi couldn't bear to have such a person by Emperor Yuan's side day and night, so he wrote a letter saying that the eunuch holding a letter was originally an expedient measure of Emperor Wu and should be abolished now. It hinted to the emperor that you can just discuss the national affairs with us, the great (Confucian) ministers (sheng): "Zhongshu Zhengben, the national cardinal, should be dealt with transparently and fairly. Emperor Wu had a banquet in the back court, so he used eunuchs, which is not an ancient system. It is appropriate to dismiss Zhongshu eunuchs, in line with ancient times and not to punish people." What was the result of this memorial on the desk of Emperor Yuan? When he ascended the throne at the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, he was humble, made changes, and discussed for a long time. As a result, Emperor Yuan suppressed the matter. So after Shi Gao (a relative) became an enemy, Shi Xian (an eunuch) also stood on the opposite side of Xiao Wangzhi. The two parties worked together to kill Xiao Wangzhi, and the breakthrough was placed on the famous Confucian recommended by Xiao Wangzhi. Zheng Peng, an out-and-out speculator. He wrote a letter accusing Shi Gao and other relatives of the illegal things they had done in order to please Xiao Wangzhi, who he believed was a sure winner. Moreover, he often flatters Xiao Wangzhi and compares Xiao Wangzhi to figures like Duke Zhou and Zhao Gong, which is extremely disgusting: The general has a Zhou Dynasty, Zhao's virtue, impartiality and magnanimity, and has the power of Bian Zhuang. At the age of Ershun, he took up the position of Zhechong and was given the title of general, which is the highest level of an honest man. The common people in the cave are all happy, and Xian calls him the general. Today, the general rules that if the clouds are in charge, Yan will rest, and then the sun will be flat to Zhou, and the call will be left? If Guan Yan rests, he will go down to Gao, Yanling, to build a farm, raise livestock, chickens, and millet. When he sees his two sons, they are all toothless. For example, if a general goes on a clear journey, ponders over evil and useless dangers, proclaims the rule of the mean, promotes the legacy of Zhou and Zhao, and listens to those who are pro-Japanese and flat, he will go down to the common people who are willing to exhaust themselves, and at the end they will be fierce and sharp, and they will serve one ten thousandth. " However, Xiao Wangzhi, as the only living person among the eleven heroes of Qilin Pavilion, has seen a lot through hundreds of battles. He soon noticed Zheng Peng's cunning, and excluded Zheng Peng when recommending officials. When Zheng Peng saw that Xiao Wangzhi's path was dead, he immediately turned to his relative, Shi Gao, and blamed him, saying, "I was told by Zhou Kan and others that I was the one who wrote the letter about Lord Shi Gao's sins. How could I, an outsider, know about such secrets in the court?" Not only that, but he also threatened to know that Xiao Wangzhi's "a minor offense of five is a major crime." Shi Xian heard it nearby and could testify. When Xiao Wangzhi heard about this, he just like Shi Xian asked to confirm whether this was the case. Shi Xian ignored it, he was playing tricks They were afraid that Xiao Wangzhi would take the initiative to write to Emperor Han Yuan to report Zheng Peng's crimes, so when Xiao Wangzhi was "taking a rest", he asked Zheng Peng to report "Wangzhi and others planned to stop the cavalry general and evacuate Xu Jia (another relative)" ", Historical Records", Emperor Yuan then asked Hong Gong and Shi Xian to confirm. This is very suspicious. After Xiao Wangzhi had already stated that eunuchs would not be allowed to interfere in politics, Emperor Yuan still asked the two eunuchs opposite Xiao Wangzhi to confirm the situation. It is very doubtful that It could be intentional. Seeing the situation, Xiao Wangzhi had no choice but to completely break up with his relatives without any preparation "My relatives were very extravagant and promiscuous when they were in power, and they wanted to rectify the country. It was not evil. " Honggong, when Shi Xian returned to the palace, he reported "Wangzhi, Kan, and his friends were all praised. They complained to the ministers several times, destroyed their relatives, wanted to monopolize power, were unfaithful to ministers, and made false accusations. Please summon the court captain. " To frame Xiao Wangzhi is to form a clique. If you want to monopolize power, you should "summon the Tingwei". Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty had just succeeded to the throne for a year, so he thought that "summoning the Tingwei" meant to ask the Tingwei to confirm whether there was such a thing. After all, the Tingwei Mansion is a formal government agency with its responsibilities. So Emperor Yuan Agree with Shi Xian's petition. However, in fact, "summoning to Tingwei" means going to Tingwei's prison and being imprisoned directly. This is the second point of doubt. Emperor Yuan has been in the East Palace for more than ten years. He really doesn't know what "summoning to Tingwei" means. According to the subsequent edict, Zhou Kan and Liu Gengsheng were only summoned to the court, but the most respected Xiao Wangzhi was not summoned to the court. This makes people doubt that Emperor Yuan actually knew what this meant. In the next few days, Emperor Yuan asked his officials to summon Zhou Kan, Liu Gengsheng and others. When they were already in prison, they were shocked (I don't know whether the shock was real or not), and quickly asked Ting Wei to release his teachers. But at the same time, he issued an edict saying: "The former general has been watching Fu me for eight years. He committed a crime that has lasted for a long time and will never be forgotten." For the crime of pardon, he received the seal and ribbon of the former general Guang Luxun, and he was exempted from being a commoner in his lifetime. " Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Wangzhi and Zhou Kan were removed from office, depriving them of the power to assist the government. A few months later, another edict was issued to promote Xiao Wangzhi The imperial edict was made to the censor: "When a country is going to prosper, respect the master and respect the master. Therefore, during the eighth year of the reign of the former General Wang, Fu Zhen taught me the art of Confucian classics and achieved great success. He gave Wang the title of Marquis of Guannei, with food for 600 households in the city, and gave him the title of "general" at the time of the incident. At the same time, Zheng Peng, who was the first to report Xiao Wangzhi and others, was promoted to Huang Menlang. This personnel transfer was even more strange, which was equivalent to a reward for reporting Xiao Wangzhi. After such a showy operation, Xiao Wangzhi was inferior to Shi Gao of the foreign relatives' faction. In the past, the two were basically equal), but Shi Gao was unpopular. As for Shi Xian, Ning Xing could no longer escape. However, this was not the end. The next step was the climax of the struggle. I don't know where the news came that Emperor Yuan wanted Xiao Wangzhi to be the prime minister. What a coincidence. A God-given opportunity came before Shi Xian and others. Hui Wang's son Sanqi Zhonglang wrote a letter to investigate the matter, and there was a secretary in the matter. Xiao Wangzhi's son Xiao Ji wrote a letter, saying that Xiao Wangzhi suffered an unjust injustice last time and was dismissed from office. Emperor Yuan then ordered "there is a secretary in charge of the matter." However, I looked through the history. I don't know who the Tingwei was at this time (if anyone knows, please tell me!), But it is certain that he was on the side of Shi Gao and Shi Xian, because there was Si Fuzuo: "I hope that I understand what I have been sitting on before, and there is no one to complain, but the godson wrote a letter, saying that the "Poetry" that led to death was disrespectful to the minister, and was disrespectful. Please arrest him. " Please arrest! What I said is very clear, I want to arrest Xiao Wangzhi in prison. (This involves the hidden political rules of the Han Dynasty, that is, the three princes are not responsible for the officials. If the emperor orders the three princes (or other important ministers, such as Jiuqing) to go to jail, it basically implies suicide. In the era of Emperor Wen, Jia Yi The public security policy clearly stated, "Those who are in the area of Dahe will wear white crowns and tassels, put water in the water and add swords, and build invitation rooms to plead guilty." However, there are still some shameless people, such as Zhou Bo and Huang Ba, but there are few such examples.) Emperor Yuan also understood that this move was to force Xiao Wangzhi. Death, because he made it clear: Xiao Taifu Sugang, An willing to serve as an official! However, after Shi Xian said, "This is not a big deal, he will definitely not commit suicide." Xian and others were summoned to pay a visit. The envoys came and called him. He wanted to commit suicide, but his wife stopped him, thinking that it was not the emperor's intention. He asked the disciple Zhu Yun to persuade him to commit suicide. So he looked up to the sky and said, "I am over sixty years old, and I am in jail. Isn't this despicable?" "Zi Zhiyun said: "Traveling, fun and medicine are coming, and I will not be left to die for a long time! "He actually drank poison and committed suicide. According to Xiao Wangzhi's biography, he did not want to commit suicide at first because he felt that it was "not the emperor's intention." However, after discussing with his disciple Zhu Yun, Xiao Wangzhi finally recognized the reality. Because whether this was Emperor Yuan's or not, Meaning, he must die. If he does not die, it may even harm his descendants. In despair, Xiao Wangzhi finally chose to commit suicide. The emperor was shocked and said, "I doubted that he would go to jail, so he killed my wise master!" " After Emperor Yuan heard the news, he was "shocked" and couldn't even eat. He "wept over it and moved around in mourning." He also summoned Shi Xian and others to severely scold him. After scolding for a long time, there was no more. Without any punitive measures, Shi Xian still had power in the government and the public. . Sima Guang commented: It's so easy to deceive Xiaoyuan but difficult to defeat him! If Gong Xian accuses Wang Zhi, it's hard to tell if he is sincere and unwilling to go to jail. It is also clear that the king of Zhongzhi will not be moved to punish the evil minister! This is not the case with Xiao Yuan. Although he cried and refused to eat, he could not be punished and thanked him. In this way, the treacherous minister can be punished without any fear! . The Zhongzhi king knew at this time that Shi Xian should be killed to punish this huge mistake. However, Emperor Han Yuan just "cryed and refused to eat", which made Shi Xian and others more unscrupulous. To be honest, judging from the result of this treatment, Sima Guang really did not doubt that it was Han Yuan. Did the emperor force Xiao Wangzhi to die? And attribute this to the fact that Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was mentally retarded? After this comment, he recorded a sentence: This is the year when Hong Gong died of illness and Shi Xian was ordered by Zhongshu. I am irresponsible again. , As a representative of the eunuchs, did Hong Gong really die of illness? And immediately after, Emperor Yuan promoted Zhou Kan and Zhou Kan's disciple Zhang Meng (the grandson of Zhang Qian of Tongxi Region during the reign of Emperor Wu). In the incident, trust was revealed. The two factions once again fought against each other. Xian and Xu and Shi all blamed it. Emperor Yuan knew that this was an excuse out of thin air, so he asked Yang Xing, the minister of Chang'an who had always been close to Zhou Kan (from the candidates he asked, it can be seen that Emperor Yuan's heart was towards Zhou Kan): "Court officials can't honor Lu Xun, why?" However, Yang Xinghui was wrong. Uncharacteristically, he criticized Zhou Kan. He also suggested that Emperor Yuan should make Zhou Kan the Marquis of Guannei, but remove him from his official position and let him take care of himself in old age.
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty had already paid attention to the crisis of the empire in the later period of the Han Dynasty, especially the changes in personal dependence in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty.
From the late Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, we must pay special attention to the dramatic changes in climate. The Central Plains region gradually changed from millet to more cold-resistant wheat.
The pig's foot is ten years old, the emperor is in poor health, and he is competing with his adult brother for the crown prince. A normal person would definitely choose the older man as the crown prince. And at the age of ten, it is impossible for a child to govern in a fiefdom. The settings are very taken for granted.
I am fighting and cautious, I don't like reading, I just like to push through it all the way, I have too many considerations about reality, I just read to relax.
Either you can dress up as Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty or you can fight before the writing of the Kingdom. The book is so bouncy that an old man hangs himself. I really think tiger poison cannot eat its seeds.
After reading the introduction, I estimate that it can only achieve two things. The first is to promote new agricultural tools and increase grain production. The second is to drain water to cure iron. It has nothing to do with you if these two become successful. Just be your King of Huaiyang.
Agriculture cannot withstand natural disasters, so we still need to find ways to open up the south. The larger the territory, the more resources, and the greater the ability to withstand risks.
Good guy, this introduction is not a good one 🤭
What the protagonist is doing now is conspiracy, practicing family letters, writing books, and establishing opinions, and his influence is getting higher and higher day by day. When the time comes, all the people will ask for orders, and hundreds of officials will be combed. It is time for Liu Bing to think about deposing the crown prince!
First of all, our protagonist is just like Liu Ruyi. He is deeply loved by Liu Bing. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty had the idea of replacing his reserves. During the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, he was able to clear up the mess left by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Huo Guang also contributed to this!
This entry point is quite novel, but I feel that the writing is not outstanding or in-depth. I hope the author will write more smoothly.
It's well written, but I feel like I could change the name. My father is too tired.
I found an interesting one. I feel that the main character's struggle to save money is too difficult.
Yu Qing Yuanshi, named Yu Qing Yuan Emperor. In the past, Emperor Liu Shi of the Han Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, Jin Zhen in his previous life, came down to earth through many tribulations, ruled the world by worshiping Confucianism, and secretly practiced Xuan Gong.

He lives in the Qingwei Heavenly Palace and opens tribulations to save people. "The Treasure Scroll of the Origin of Immortals" The Yuan Emperor of the Han Dynasty cultivated the truth for many years; the mortal emperor, the Tao and the fruits were perfected; he took off his mortal body and ascended to the Jade Pure Land; he was honored as Yuan Shi, the root of all Tao. "Records of the Cultivation of Emperors of All Dynasties"
There are too many spy stories these days, and they look a bit awkward.
When I saw Huitong, I thought of Shanxi merchants, and immediately stopped reading 😰😰😰
It's unpleasant to watch, the protagonist has traveled through time and is still being restrained in every way.
It can only be said that Emperor Han Yuan's ability was not mediocre, but his political vision and political sensitivity were too lacking. You can say that he was incompetent, but you cannot say that he was incompetent in wisdom and lacked intelligence!
The most important thing in writing history is persistence. No one would be willing to read hundreds of chapters of a historical text, especially novices.
There's not one person here who doesn't know how to make paper and iron.
I didn't expect the author to say that Emperor Han Yuan was an enhanced version of Jiajing.
Take your time, I read two very good books, but the content is too little. I added them to my bookshelf and kept them. Don't let me die of them. There really aren't many to read now.
The style is a bit like Zhang Jiuwen's The Leisurely Life of the Qin People. I hope the author can make progress while writing. You can read this book
The content is indeed solid and sophisticated, but not too sophisticated. There is no plot beat, and the emotions are too flat.
The Way of the Emperor
The way of an emperor lies in the combination of balance, decision-making, trust, employing people, domineering and kingly ways. Therefore, for Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, history is a mixture of domineering and kingly ways. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was considered the most capable emperor among the two Han Dynasties. The two emperors who were even better than him were the two emperors Wen and Jing!
