Han Dao world

Sovereignty is the last hereditary privilege, and the greatest hereditary privilege.Compared with Shiqing and Shilu, the monarchy has changed from the co-lord of the world to the imperial power. Not only has it not been weakened, but it has been strengthened, which naturally lacks legitimacy.

The co-lord of the world is the feudal country of the world to support you as the co-lord, so what is the basis for imperial power?

In the 2000's of imperial rule, this question has plagued the brightest minds.They have established various theories to explain the rationality of imperial power, but in the end they cannot avoid the duality.

Some people defend, some people usurp power.

"Imperial power will also be abolished." Liu Xie scratched his head, but his tone was firm. "Just not now."

Xun Wenqian stared at Liu Xie's face, not letting go of the slightest expression.

After half a day, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xie spoke from his heart.He has an unparalleled detachment, transcends his own identity, and looks at this issue from a more rational perspective.

She wanted to ask a few more questions, but she hummed and went back.

The sentence just now was out of line, and Liu Xie thought for a long time before answering.If you continue to ask, Liu Xie may not be able to answer, and may not dare to answer.

In case she becomes angry from embarrassment, she cannot bear the wrath of the emperor.

"Why don't you talk?" Liu Xie smiled.

"The concubine doesn't know what to say." Xun Wenqian fell on Liu Xie's chest again. "The concubine can't imagine what the world would be like without the emperor, not even the saints."

Liu Xie laughed. "A sage is also a human being." He paused, and then said: "He can't even judge right from wrong, so it can be seen that he is not born knowing it."

"Does Your Majesty know?"

Liu Xie wanted to pretend, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. "Do you still remember what I told you when we were in Liangzhou?"

Xun Wenqian thought for a while. "Remember. The higher the mountain, the colder the climate."

"Have you ever wondered why?"

"This... I haven't thought about it."

"Look, if you find a problem, but stop at nothing and don't think deeply, how can you make progress?" Liu Xie laughed twice, and stretched out his hand to scratch Xun Wenqian's nose. "Just like the question of two children debating the sun, it has been in front of us for hundreds of years. Has anyone seriously thought about the answer?"

Xun Wenqian was stunned.

Liu Xie then said: "You only know how to appreciate Master's virtue of knowing what you know and not knowing what you don't know, but you don't think about how to seek knowledge. Is this what Master wants? If Master is also like this, how can you be knowledgeable if you enter the temple without asking? , to create a generational atmosphere?"

Xun Wenqian was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "So, there are tens of millions of scholars in the world, but few of them really follow the teachings of saints."

"You're right. You can only read rote books, talk nonsense, and shut up poems. What's the use? Only those who are taught by saints, are not limited to classics, face reality, and persevere in finding answers. , are the true disciples of saints, the backbone of Confucianism."

Liu Xie finally sighed. "To a certain extent, partisans still have their respect. At least they dare to act and martyr their lives instead of being content to sit and talk. They just don't do well, and they are far better than cynics who do nothing. Much more."

"Cynic?" Xun Wenqian pondered for a while, but didn't ask carefully.

These two words are very straightforward, and the direction is obvious, so there is no need to ask too much, it seems that I am too stupid.

But she subconsciously thought of Liu Biao, Song Zhong and others from Nanyang County School.

The two of them didn't have a specific topic, and they chatted without a sentence.From the study in Nanyang County to the trip to Liangzhou that year, from the trip to Liangzhou to Xun Yue’s trip to Mount Tai, then from Xun Yue to Xun Chen, to the virtue of Bohai Sea, and finally to the west of the Western Regions, The land that is said to have been conquered by Alexander.

Until we were sleepy, we hugged each other and fell asleep.

The next morning, when Xun Wenqian opened her eyes, Liu Xie had already got up and disappeared.Xun Wenqian blamed herself for sleeping too deeply and not fulfilling her responsibilities, while getting up to wash up.

Recalling the chat with the emperor yesterday, the more she thought about it, the more regretful she felt.

Xun Yue was going to Taishan to seek proof, she had come into contact with it a few years ago.It's a pity that she, as the emperor said, didn't try to find the answer at all, so she still doesn't know anything until now.

Just like the problem that the two children were anxiously discussing, after hundreds of years, it is still an unsolved problem.

How can there be progress in this way?

I can't solve such a major problem as the abolition of imperial power, but I can make some efforts on these small problems.

Xun Wenqian was lost in thought for a moment.

When having breakfast with Empress Fushou, Xun Wenqian put forward her own ideas.She wants to study some specific issues, and treat it as a usual pastime.

Fu Shou also found it interesting.

Compared with Xun Wenqian, who is busy preparing to build a printing workshop, she has more free time and is more boring.If you can study these issues, you can kill time without being idle.

"How do you plan to start?"

Xun Wenqian smiled and said, "I want to offer a reward."

"A reward?"

"Yes, the Yinfang will be built soon. I want to publish a reward in the newspaper. Whoever can give a convincing answer will be rewarded ten gold. Queen, are you interested in participating?"

Fu Shou hesitated.

Although she is a queen, ten gold is not a small amount for her.Unlike Xun Wenqian, she still has a printing workshop in her hand and has other sources of income.

Isn't it a little exaggerated to spend ten gold for a trivial problem?

"I still want to find the answer myself, not ask anyone."

As soon as Xun Wenqian thought about it, she understood Fushou's thoughts.She laughed and said, "Why doesn't the empress take an examination of the great Confucianists in Nanyang County? Since they regard themselves as the disciples of the Confucian school, the master is embarrassed and laughed at by the Taoist school, so they should share the worries for the master."

"Is this... appropriate?"

"I think it's appropriate." Xun Wenqian said solemnly, "These are the ways of heaven and earth. If you don't know the ways of heaven and earth, how can you talk about people and governance?"

Chapter 1040

Fu Shou thought Xun Wenqian's suggestion was good.

She originally wanted to go to Nanyang County to learn and see, to show the greatness of the emperor's grace and value education, but she never thought that Song Zhong and others would secretly complain for Liu Biao.

That being the case, let them experience the wisdom of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Biao was stumped by this problem, and even suffered a stroke. If they want to vent their anger on Liu Biao, it depends on whether they have the ability.

If not, then there is no need to go to Nanyang County School.

Fu Shou soon ordered people to study Chuan Yi's decree in Nanyang County and seek answers.

And she also made people cryptically say that this is the problem that caused Liu Biao to have a stroke.

After receiving the Queen's order, they also felt the Queen's dissatisfaction. Song Zhong and others dared not be careless, and gathered the most Confucian scholars in the county school to discuss it together.

They need to solve two problems: one is how to ease the conflict with the queen, and the other is how to answer the questions raised by the queen.

The empress came from the Langya Fu family, a true Confucian family, and they were the object of their support, not the target of attack.

Conflict with the queen is definitely not their desired goal.

The first problem is easy to solve, just send someone to explain it.

The second question is a bit troublesome, at least more troublesome than they imagined.

After discussing a few words, the atmosphere became intense.

It’s not that there are big differences—their views cannot go beyond the scope of the two children’s disputes—but some people think of Liu Biao’s experience and doubt whether they can answer such questions, and whether they should answer such questions.

Liu Biao couldn't answer, so he was so angry that he had a stroke.

Then if we solve it, doesn't it mean that Liu Biao is stupid?

Furthermore, this is a question that the Master has not been able to answer.

Before the conversation in this room fell, someone over there said, this is not a problem at all, don't confuse it.

The higher the mountain, the colder it is, which is an untenable problem.

Liangzhou is very cold, does it mean that Liangzhou is very high?Could it be that the ground in Liangzhou is higher than Mount Tai?This is obviously nonsense, but anyone who is not blind and has some brains will not come to such a conclusion.

Mount Tai has a lofty status in Confucianism, but Liangzhou is a barren land. When they heard that Mount Tai was not as high as the ground in Liangzhou, a barren land, many people subconsciously shut up.

Even if some people feel that this possibility is not impossible, they dare not express it in public.

In the crowd, there were several people chatting and whispering.

Song Zhong was already in a bad mood, and when he saw people discussing in private, he didn't stand up to speak, he didn't get angry, and he called the names directly.

"Dexian, Siqian, if you have something to say, just stand up and say it. I, a student in Nanyang County, have always been frank, and I have nothing to say to others."

The two were embarrassed, and one of them stood up with a blushing face, cupped his hands and said, "Jijiu, we didn't say anything, it's just based on our own experience. In the same area, the top of the mountain is indeed colder than the bottom of the mountain. But there are things. Repeatedly, warm and cold are not only related to height, if there are caves underground, they are often cooler than the ground. Therefore, this matter may not be as simple as imagined."

Song Zhong let out a "huh" and thought it made sense.

He has never climbed a high mountain, but he has experience in drilling underground.There are mountains around Xiangyang. Although they are not high enough to feel that the top of the mountain is cooler than the ground, the caves in the mountains are very cool and can be used to escape the heat.

According to this, warm and cold do not have much to do with high or low, at least not a simple correspondence.

In other words, answering this question is more complicated than they imagined.

No wonder Liu Biao suffered a stroke.

Song Zhong scratched his head a little, the queen was not kind.

He decided to take the initiative to visit the queen and express his attitude first.

We are not targeting you, we just want to complain about the cause.

-

Song Zhong rushed to nothing.

After issuing the decree, Fu Shou accepted Xun Wenqian's invitation and went to Yinfang together.

She had no interest at first, but she couldn't hold back Xun Wenqian's enthusiasm.Xun Wenqian also said that the emperor's visit to Nanyang was not only to solve the positioning problem of Nanyang Emperor Township, but also to prepare for the descendants of hundreds of years later.

The general trend is that the weather is getting colder, and the grain harvest north of the Yellow River may fail. If we want to feed tens of millions of people, we can only rely on the large tracts of land south of the Yellow River, or even south of the Yangtze River.

As one of the three states spanning the north and south of the river, Jingzhou has an extremely important position, and Nanyang is the head of Jingzhou, so it should be given attention.

Ma Guiren accompanied the emperor to fight the world, you and I don't have that kind of ability, so we just do what we can.Yinfang is related to education, Your Highness, you don't need to do anything, just go and see, it is enough to show that you attach importance to education, and the significance is no less than going to the county to learn.

Besides, although there are nearly a hundred scholars in the county school, there is not a single woman.Yinfang is different. There are many women in it, and they urgently need the Queen's support and encouragement.

Fu Shou was moved by Xun Wenqian, and followed Xun Wenqian to Yinfang.

As Xun Wenqian expected, the queen's arrival made the craftsmen in the printing workshop overjoyed.Especially those female craftsmen.Most of them come from ordinary families. They have the opportunity to study, but they don't have enough strength to eat leisurely. When they heard that Yinfang was calling for people, they came to find a job and earn some money to subsidize their families.

Although people come, they are somewhat repulsed psychologically, and feel that it is indecent to show their faces in public and will be laughed at.

Now seeing the queen, this worry can be put down.

Where even the queen can come, what do we have to worry about?

Meeting so many people for the first time, Fu Shou was both excited and nervous.Fortunately, with Mrs. Tang and Xun Wenqian by my side, the process went smoothly.

She organized what she heard, thought, or thought about the emperor's mind in private, and said a few words, saying that the emperor's new policy is of great significance, not only for the rejuvenation of the great man, but also for the prosperity and expansion of China's clothing.As the land of Chu in the past, Nanyang is now the confidant of the great man, and will contribute even more to the cause of the emperor in the future.

Although they stuttered a bit, the craftsmen were very excited. They surrounded Fushou and shouted long live, which made Fushou even more nervous.

After the welcoming ceremony, Mrs. Tang led Fushou to visit.

Seeing that those simple tools can print exquisite books, solve the difficulty of copying books, and greatly advance the cause of enlightenment, Fu Shou is deeply moved.

The great cause started by the sages has flourished in the hands of these craftsmen, benefiting all peoples.

It can be seen from this that it is by no means empty words that all peoples are scholars. Only by turning farmers, craftsmen, and merchants into scholars can the real prosperous age come.

The progress of Confucian scholars alone is too slow. How the ancestors taught in the past and how the great Confucians teach today has not changed significantly for hundreds of years.

After figuring this out, Fu Shou's mood became lighter and he became much more active.She was very grateful for Xun Wenqian's invitation. She not only thanked Xun Wenqian face to face, but also notified Liu Xie as soon as she came back.

Liu Xie was somewhat surprised, and then realized that he had been negligent before.

He arranged for everyone, but he didn't give Fushou a chance to contact the outside world.This not only limited her vision, but also restricted her hands and feet, and made her financially stretched, making her unable to stand up in front of other people.

The little pocket money that the palace distributes as a rule is not worth mentioning to Xun Wenqian and others who have property in their hands.

"Men farm and women weave. Nanyang is going to build a big weaving workshop. Are you interested in taking care of it?"

Chapter 1041

Fu Shou was both happy and nervous.

After the re-opening of the Western Regions trade route, Zhifang realized that it was a wealth of money, which was more valuable than Yinfang.

But the problem is, she didn't take care of the weaving workshop at all.Or more accurately, she didn't care about anything.

There are only a few of them in Liu Xie's harem, which is not as big as the Fu family's harem.Her mistress is Liu Hua, Princess Yang'an, the daughter of Emperor Xiaohuan. In order to serve her, there are nearly a hundred people in the back house.
