Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Officials, however, are constrained by traditional morality.

In most cases, a divorce will not be granted.

Two additional approvals,

They are all giving more leverage to the weaker party.

And there's no guarantee of success.

The book "Guochao Liji Zhengyi"

Hu Anguo only serves as the editor-in-chief.

It was a product of compromise among several schools of thought within the Hanlin Academy.

Hu Anguo took back the Hanlin Academy.

Let the scholars of various schools observe at their leisure.

After everyone read Liang Wang Zeng's commentary,

Most of them remained silent.

A few were angry or happy.

They didn't dare to show it in public.

Sigh, I'll just have to slowly compile the "Spring and Autumn Annals".

Hu Anguo returned to his office quietly.

The historical text, the *Spring and Autumn Annals*.

It was compiled by Hu Anguo after being stimulated by the Jingkang Incident.

As the "leader of the Qin Party",

At that time, I was caught in a dilemma, pleasing neither side.

When Qin Hui formally presided over the peace negotiations,

Hu Anguo had actually already resigned from his official post and gone into seclusion.

He wrote this book during his seclusion.

The entire message can be summarized in four words: Respect the King and Expel the Barbarians!

Great unification is about respecting the king.

At that time, military leaders were everywhere.

Peasant uprisings occurred frequently.

Hu Anguo said that everyone should listen to the emperor.

The great revenge is to expel the barbarians.

They opposed peace talks and called for revenge.

Furthermore, Hu Anguo annotated many sentences in the Gongyang Commentary that were not interpreted as matters of revenge.

It is forcibly interpreted as advocating revenge.

The overall viewpoint on revenge,

To put it bluntly, it's about promoting anti-Jin ideology:

First, subjects have an obligation to their ruler or father to avenge traitors;

Second, we cannot restore diplomatic relations with our enemy country, let alone negotiate peace;

Third, even if one is defeated in a war against an enemy state, one can still be honored.

Fourth, they opposed the revenge of nine generations.

Because this generation doesn't seek revenge.

The next generation will likely forget the hatred.

Even if they haven't forgotten, they lack the deep-seated pain.

If this generation cannot avenge their father...

Let's forget about the next generation.

Do not drag your descendants into an endless abyss of revenge.

The current Juan Guo,

It places more emphasis on explaining the concept of unification.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were once his sovereigns and fathers.

However, Zhao Yuan did not commit regicide.

These two former emperors are still alive.

Therefore, Hu Anguo has no need to avenge his father and emperor.

Hu Anguo even went so far as to find reasons for Zhao Yuan's rebellion.

For example, "What makes a country a country is its virtue."

He criticized Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji, saying that "the rulers lost their virtue and therefore lost their country."

Chapter 1761 How Should It Be Revised?

It is also said that the Ming Dynasty is the legitimate successor of the new dynasty.

Domestic separatist forces should give up resistance.

Both Emperor Huizong of Song and Prime Minister Zhong should have submitted to the imperial court to complete the unification of the empire.

It also mentions Yanyun, Hetao, the Western Regions, Dali, and Jiaozhi.

All of these are the ancestral lands of the Chinese people.

The reunification of the country must be completed.

This is also a way of seeking revenge against the barbarians.

Hu Anguo sat at his desk.

Close your eyes and recall today's conversation.

Then consider the various decrees and policies of the emperor and the King of Liang.

Suddenly, Hu Anguo seemed to see Dong Zhongshu standing in front of him.

He knew what he needed to write!

Besides advocating respect for the king and repelling barbarians, the Spring and Autumn Annals

Besides pursuing unification and great revenge,

It could also be a book about reforming the system.

When Dong Zhongshu used the Spring and Autumn Annals,

They subtly attributed reform significance to it.

Kang Youwei, a later figure, initiated the Hundred Days' Reform.

Following Dong Zhongshu's line of thought,

They claimed that "the Spring and Autumn Annals was written specifically for reform."

Hu Anguo smiled, picked up his pen, and wrote.

"The Spring and Autumn Annals contain profound meanings in subtle words."

"The greatest righteousness lies in respecting the king and repelling the barbarians."

“The subtle words are about reforming the legal system.”

As long as it doesn't contradict one's core principles,

Hu Anguo is academically inclined to emulate the image of King Liang.

After this guy finished writing an article,

The next day, he went to see the King of Liang.

Zhao Yuan smiled immediately after reading it and nodded in approval.

"Mr. Hu truly deserves to be called a great Confucian scholar of our time!"

In Hu Anguo's article,

Zhao Yuan's reform and innovation,

It is completely different from Wang Anshi's reforms.

Wang Anshi's reforms

What has changed is the law established by the ancestors of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yuan's rule was a reform under the new king.

It is reasonable, legal, and in line with Confucian principles.

"Unifying the Three Systems" is the saying of sages.

The new king's establishment of new laws is an implementation of the sage's teachings.

Because of the systems of the Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties,

They all have their drawbacks.

That's why they perished.

At the same time, they each have their own advantages.

That's why they were able to replace the previous dynasty.

The significance of unifying the three systems lies in,

Adopting the advantages of the previous dynasties,

Discarding the shortcomings of those dynasties,

Integration should be carried out based on the existing situation.

Thus, the most suitable laws and regulations for the new dynasty were established.

Therefore, no matter how Zhao Yuan changed the system,

That's all perfectly natural.

If you make a mistake in a certain place, you can change it back.

The Ming Dynasty version of Hu Anguo's "Spring and Autumn Annals".

Its ideological tone was formally established.

That is: unifying the three systems (reforming the system), unifying the country (centralizing imperial power), and great revenge (territorial expansion).

Hu Anguo said, "Yesterday, I was inspired by His Highness Prince Liang's words."

"I have gained further insights from the Spring and Autumn Annals,"

That's why I wrote this humble article.

Zhao Yuan made empty promises, saying, "Once you finish writing the *Spring and Autumn Annals*..."

"I recommend you, sir, to His Majesty as a Grand Academician of the Hall of Literary Brilliance."

"I dare not accept such an honor; I am truly humbled."

Hu Anguo smiled.

It seemed so calm and serene.
