Chapter 128 Dismissing Confucianism
The words of the prince on the screen, the audience in front of the screen showed two completely different concepts.

A concept holds that one would rather die than lose one's dignity.

Another idea is that it's okay to bear the burden of humiliation and wait for the opportunity of revenge...!

…………

While the audience in front of the screen was arguing endlessly about this, on the screen, Liu Che, who had received a copy of the reply letter, had already checked the content.

"Shan Yu did not forget this small place of ours, and sent letters, all of us in the whole country were in awe and fear. Shan Yuxiong was in his prime, and this old concubine should have gone to serve her in person. Unfortunately, she is over seventy years old, her face is weak, her hair and teeth are falling out, Walking falteringly, wouldn’t you be ashamed to see Shan Yu? I would like to present thirty beauties from the harem, 80 pieces of brocade and silk, [-] hu of milled rice for imperial use, and [-] stones of refined palace wine. Please accept it with a smile!”

"Bastard!" After seeing Queen Mother Lu's reply, Liu Che immediately angrily threw the copy of the reply in his hand to the ground.

After that, Liu Che, who was still feeling puzzled, pushed all the things on the table in front of him to the ground.

"Water dumped in the Yellow River will not be able to wash away the shame this letter left to the Han Dynasty. If I don't accept this humiliation in this life, I will never be a man!" Liu Che swore on the spot.

…………

At this moment, the audience in front of the screen was completely excited because of Liu Che's words.

"Liu Che is amazing, I hope he will lead China to become stronger like Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shimin!"

"I'm looking forward to what Dongfang player will do in this life now!"

"Liu Che...you can't let me down!"

…………

Just as the audience in front of the screen was cheering for Liu Che, the screen changed, and Gosying Zhidu, who was called the tiger-fighting hero by the emperor, committed suicide because of the queen mother!
Although Zhidu sent troops to attack the Huns without authorization, they defeated the Huns' army so severely that the Xiongnu's face changed when they heard the name of Zhidu.

Therefore, in order to solve the threat of Zhidu, the Xiongnu threatened the princess who had kissed the past—they wrote to the Queen Mother in the tone of a Han princess, saying that whenever the Han army attacked the Xiongnu, the Shanyu would whip and humiliate her !
How could the Queen Mother, who already doted on Princess Nangong, be able to endure this?
In addition, when the queen mother heard that the prefect of Yanmen who sent troops without authorization was Zhidu... the queen mother, who was already very dissatisfied with Zhidu who forced his grandson Liu Rong to death, became even more resentful!
Then, under the strong intervention of the Empress Dowager, Zhidu committed suicide in order not to embarrass the emperor!
Afterwards, not long after, the emperor received reports that the Yanmen Gate had been destroyed, countless sons had been killed, women had been humiliated, and taken away...

…………

When this past life memory of Dongfang Wuxian was played, the crowd immediately became furious—but, regarding the actions of the Queen Mother, the audience in front of the screen was divided into three factions!

Among them, the more radical faction believes that the queen mother is really one of the biggest cancers of the big man. Among them, a comment with a high number of likes is written like this: "The queen mother is a dead old woman who has no ability. Zhongliang's method is a set of methods. She forced Zhidu to death because of her grandson and granddaughter, but in the end, more children of the Han family were humiliated and died... together with your queen mother's grandson and granddaughter They are human beings, so the children of ordinary people are not human?"

Regarding what this person said in the barrage room, some viewers in front of the screen did not agree with it. Among them, there was a barrage content that read: "The Queen Mother has done this to avenge her grandchildren. There is nothing wrong with it, put yourself in the shoes of others, if your own grandchildren were murdered by others, would you still be able to calmly say, 'Your own child is a child, and someone else's child is not a child'? Between you So you can say such things easily because nothing like this has happened to you, so you can stand on the moral high ground and say such things with peace of mind. If such things happen to you, I'd like to see how many people here can say such things!"

In addition, there is another kind of speech, but compared with the speeches in the above two situations, this kind of speech is much more moderate. Among them, a barrage with more likes said: "It's understandable for the empress dowager to dispose of Zhidu, but in any case, it is the best policy to dispose of Zhidu after properly handling the Yanmen prefect. The empress dowager is not worth advocating because of resentment and anger in her heart!"

…………

Just when the three kinds of speeches in the barrage room were intertwined and arguing, the screen turned and it was the scene of the emperor, Liang Wang and the crown prince hunting.

"Little uncle's mount is so handsome, presumably it must be a Xiongnu horse from Beikou?" Prince Liu Che asked Liang Wangdao with a smile.

"The prince actually has such eyesight?" Liang Wang glanced at Liu Che in surprise, and then said with emotion, "Yes, this horse once accompanied me to put down the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, and it was the majestic Fengshen from Beikou. Jun!"

"Bought it with a lot of money?" Liu Che asked inquiringly.

"Nothing at all!" Liang Wang said with a look of satisfaction, "It was specially given to me by...Wu Wang Liu Bi, but what he never expected was that I was driving this horse to compete with him in the Central Plains of!"

"General Li Guang told me that the reason why the Han army could not gain the upper hand in the battle against the Huns was because of the poor breed of horses?" Liu Che, who urgently needed to learn the knowledge of commanding the army from the famous commander King Liang, immediately Ask Liang Wang how to think.

King Liang, who heard Liu Che's thoughts, was very happy to look at Prince Liu Che squarely. However, just in case, King Liang made a little confirmation: "Is the prince interested in war... or horses?"

Liu Che did not answer Liang Wang's question directly. Instead, he said something about the Huns' envoy: "I heard the Huns' envoy say this. He said that men have two great blessings. One is to be on horseback , and the second is on a woman's chest—beautiful horse, which man doesn't love it?"

Hearing Liu Che's words, King Liang nodded lightly, and then shared his thoughts without hiding any secrets: "The crown prince is right. The military advantage of the Huns lies mainly in the mobility of the troops. It is very important. The Huns and horses are inseparable. They were born in the same grassland, then grew up in the same land and climate, and underwent the same training. As the saying goes...Humans and horses are naturally made! My big man wants to have a military advantage over the Huns Some problems must be solved, such as improved horse breeds, sources of military horses, and cavalry training!"

After hearing King Liang's explanation, Liu Che said solemnly, "But this is a big problem...a big strategic problem!"

Looking at Liu Che who was so cautious, King Liang couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

Just at this moment, the emperor came back from hunting on horseback. King Liang immediately abandoned the prince, and greeted the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty!"

"You didn't make a move today!" The emperor looked at King Liang who hadn't made any moves today, and couldn't help pointing at King Liang with some dissatisfaction.

"My brother's body... oh, it's really not good!" Liang Chao waved his hands at the emperor, with a look of more than enough energy.

At the same time, a certain general at the side asked the emperor to say: "Your Majesty, the last general requests protection for the crown prince to ride and shoot!"

Hearing what the general said, the emperor immediately nodded in agreement.

"Father, I want to borrow my uncle's mount in exchange!" the prince asked the emperor.

"This is not nonsense!" The emperor glanced at King Liang, and immediately refused.

"No no no, Your Majesty!" Unexpectedly, Liang Wang actually stopped the emperor at this time, "My brother... I'm exhausted, I haven't hunted for more than a year..."

As he said that, King Liang actually handed over his mount to Liu Che directly: "Come on, this horse...give it to the crown prince to ride!"

"Eh?"

Looking at such an open-minded King Liang, the emperor was a little confused for a moment—is this the King Liang he remembered?
King Liang is actually not a stingy person, he has never paid attention to things like jewelry and money, but things like a horse... especially the horse that accompanied the emperor through life and death, has a different meaning ——This horse, to a certain extent, represents the second life of King Liang, and it is precisely because of this steed that King Liang was able to survive many times on the battlefield. How great is the blessing to King Liang... But it is such a horse, but King Liang gave it to Prince Liu Che!
Just when the emperor was a little confused about this, Prince Liu Che hurriedly climbed onto King Liang's mount after receiving King Liang's consent.

"Be careful, this horse recognizes life!" Liang Wang looked at Prince Liu Che who had already climbed on the horse, and immediately reminded him kindly.

"Be careful!" The emperor, who was worried about Liu Che's safety, couldn't help reminding Liu Che.

…………

The audience in front of the screen couldn't help discussing in the barrage room after watching Dongfang contestant's past life memory.

"Looking at King Liang's posture...why does it feel like he has given up the idea of ​​fighting for the crown prince?"

"Is it true that, as King Liang said, his health is already failing?"

"The so-called poor health may have been pretended by King Liang himself. His purpose was to confuse the emperor, so as to buy time for him to compete for the crown prince!"

"Having said that, I always feel that King Liang didn't pretend this time. He is really dying. Otherwise, according to his domineering style in the past, even if he can endure the emperor's threats and pressing every step of the way, It is also impossible to be so kind to the crown prince Liu Che, and now he is giving him his mount... This so-called King Liang, how is it like the King Liang in our memory?"

"Is it true that 'a man's words are good even when he is about to die'?"

…………

Just as the audience in front of the screen were discussing whether King Liang was acting or his body was really failing, suddenly, the picture on the screen jumped directly to the scene of everyone attending the funeral after King Liang died...

…………

As soon as the picture came out, some viewers in front of the screen were speechless—they were still discussing whether King Liang was really sick or whether they wanted to use his illness to compete for the crown prince. Wang went straight away!
…………

However, what made the many viewers in front of the screen even more speechless was that not long after King Liang died, the emperor also died immediately—but, no matter how bad it was, the emperor still supported his sick body and supported him. Prince Liu Che's last step...

"By God's blessing, the great emperor ordered: The Crown Prince Liu Che has reached the age of majority. From now on, I have decided to order him to supervise the country. Immediately after writing, he will be crowned. The word of the order is Tong, and I will choose an auspicious day to perform the ceremony. This is my honor!"

"Today is the auspicious day of the zodiac. By the order of the Great Emperor, we are here to perform the Crown Prince Crown Ceremony. Please, congratulations from all the officials!"

Accompanied by the release of the imperial edict, all the civil servants and military generals present all knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor, a thousand years for the crown prince!"

…………

After Dongfang Boundless's memory of the third life has progressed to this point, some things have become very clear.

"Liu Zhi... that is, the current Liu Che, his throne of the great Han should be stable now—that is to say, the Dongfang player's status as the third emperor should also be stable!"

"The East is infinite... the body of the third emperor... awesome!"

"Isn't this the most awesome existence since the program "Reincarnation of Past Life" started? After all, this is the third emperor!"

…………

While the audience in front of the screen were sighing at this, Liu Che, who had become the emperor, was arguing with Gillian, who had just become his empress, in his bedroom.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

After A-Jiao put some incense powder on her body, she immediately climbed onto Liu Che's bed.

It's a pity that Liu Che was very dissatisfied with the scent on Gillian's body: "Don't put these messy scents on your body, my nose can't bear it!"

Gillian is not a vegetarian either, so she snorted coldly and said: "Oh, I can't bear to say it earlier, why didn't I say it before I became the prince? I became everything, but I hate this and that!"

"Before becoming the prince?" Liu Che stared at A-Jiao immediately.

"Your Majesty is so forgetful!" Gillian said squinting at Liu Che without showing any weakness.

"I know what you want to say!" Liu Che restrained the coldness on his face at this moment, "You just want to say that everything I have today is given by my aunt!"

"Hmph!" A-Jiao angrily said to the emperor's address, "Don't call me aunt, but mother-in-law!"

"I'm just calling!" Liu Che said deliberately annoyed Gillian.

"You... let you call!" The lawless Gillian was not afraid of the emperor Liu Che, and immediately kicked the emperor.

"Do you dare to kick me?" Liu Che kicked A-Jiao without hesitation.

Then, the two started fighting directly...

……

……

Regarding the fight between the emperor and the empress, the audience in front of the screen suddenly had a bad impression of Liu Che.

"Anyway, Gillian's mother, the eldest princess, contributed a lot to Liu Che's becoming emperor. To a certain extent, it can even be said that half of Liu Che's credit for becoming emperor is due to his elder princess. Now that he has become an emperor, he has crossed the river and demolished bridges... How can there be such a reason in the world?"

"What's more, Gillian is so beautiful... Although arrogance is a bit arrogant, but 'Sassy Girlfriend'... is not unacceptable, Liu Che actually made a move on her... Bah, scumbag!"

"Liu Che... the scumbag is really hammered!"

……

……

Just as the audience in front of the screen condemned Liu Che in unison in the barrage room, the screen changed, and the screen showed Liu Che, who became the emperor, and a man named Dong Zhongshu were discussing about reform.

"Dong Gong thinks, how should I change my system?" the emperor asked curiously.

"If a worker wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools!" Dong Zhongshu said.

"Is the weapon Dong Gong mentioned... the imperial court's military equipment?" Emperor Liu Che asked immediately.

"The weapon I'm talking about is the great weapon of the country, which is the so-called orthodoxy!" Dong Zhongshu explained to Liu Che very seriously, "Your Majesty, you can use power to establish your own authority, use magic to control the officials, and use cool methods To deal with those violations..."

Speaking of this, Dong Zhongshu was silent for a while and then continued: "Of course, after having these, it is still far from enough. In addition, we must win people's hearts with respect for morality and unify the thoughts of Chinese people with Confucianism. , Whether it is running a country or a family, there must be a cohesive force... Then, where does this cohesive force come from? It can only be derived from cultural orthodoxy!"

"Then what is cultural orthodoxy?" Liu Che thoughtfully asked Dong Zhongshu in front of him.

After Liu Che asked this question, Dong Zhongshu immediately knelt down and said: "It is the Confucianism of Confucius!"

"You've made such a big circle, and it seems like you've all come back again!" Liu Che said, looking at Dong Zhongshu in front of him with some amusement.

Regarding Liu Che's words, Dong Zhongshu shook his head slightly and said: "If the Chinese nation wants to stand upright in the universe and survive for thousands of years, if we cannot adapt to the weather and change the system, disasters will inevitably lead to people's upheavals, and people's upheavals will inevitably lead to civil unrest. There is turmoil, and turmoil will definitely change the destiny of heaven... This is the principle of heaven and man, and the ultimate principle of governing a country and prospering the government, the Holy Lord...you must deeply understand it!"

Hearing Dong Zhongshu's words, the emperor said thoughtfully: "I understand, what Dong Gong means is that if I want to establish another spiritual emperor for the world!"

"Extremely!" Dong Zhongshu was very happy that the emperor could understand his words, "It is necessary to unify our thinking... Abandon all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism!"

"Understood!" Liu Che nodded lightly and said, "To sum up your words, it is to uphold rituals, respect kings, fight barbarians, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons!"

"Yes!" Dong Zhongshu affirmed Liu Che's understanding.

…………

On the other side, the audience in front of the screen couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay as they looked at this past life memory of the third life of the East.

"At first, I guessed that the previous emperor wanted to use Confucianism to check and balance Taoism or even replace Taoism. I thought it was very radical. I didn't think about it. The two people who are discussing now are even more radical than the previous emperor—depose A hundred schools of thought, respecting Confucianism alone...how can it be so good? Respecting Confucianism alone...being the only one, and from now on, whether Confucianism, which has no rivals from now on, will affect the rule of the king is also a big question, in short , I am not very optimistic about the dialogue between these two people!"

"Perhaps it is a very good policy for the current big man to dismiss a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone. However, if things go on like this, the Confucianism that has been revered alone may limit the imperial power, and it may even be too big to lose... More importantly, the exclusive Confucianism After respecting Confucianism, it will also restrict the openness of thought, and in the long run, it will definitely do more harm than good!"

"These two radical people get together...won't it cause trouble for the Great Han Dynasty?"

"Dongfang player's other two lives were very good. This life...as Liu Che's life, you can't let us down!"

"I don't know about the things that are too far away in the future. What I'm more curious about now is, will that old lady who follows the Taoist thought very much allow Liu Che to mess around like this?"

…………

Just when the audience in front of the screen was extremely unfavorable to Liu Che's ideas, on the screen, Liu Che had already started to implement his ideas.

I saw that at the Great Court Meeting, the emperor looked at the civil and military officials from the high position, nodded happily and said: "Everything is good today...the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty are all here, I look at it this way, It's truly magnificent!"

Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but chuckled and said: "It's good to have more people, and it's easier to do things when there are more people. Today, I'm going to do something new—to change the rules...and to establish rules." !"

Then, Liu Che spoke slowly in the silence of the civil and military courts:

"What I mean is that our Han Dynasty has been a dynasty without rules since its founding... isn't it?"

"When Gaozu first became emperor, the generals under him could call him brothers and pat each other on the shoulders. Such things still exist today!"

"That's right, many of you are my elders. According to family etiquette, I have to kowtow to you, but when you are in court, can you still sell your elders?"

"Entering and exiting the palace gate is like entering and exiting the gate of your own courtyard. Walking on the road like no one else, is that something you can do?"

"Speak casually, and if there is a disagreement, the emperor is long and the emperor is short. In private, he is even gossiping... What are these rules?"

"Look at the official uniforms you are wearing, they are colorful and messy - the third-class officials wear the same clothes as the fifth-class officials, and the civil servants wear the same clothes as the military officers!"

"I tell you, if you wear clothes like this again in the future, you will be dragged out by me as soon as you enter the palace gate, and you will take off your clothes and change into court clothes before you come here to see me!"

"Perhaps you here don't care about these things... but I do care about these things!"

"From now on, everything must be in order!"

Liu Che's words immediately caused the civil and military officials in the hall to look at each other uncontrollably.

"What are you looking at? What are you looking at? What's there to see?" After seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Liu Che immediately roared angrily, "When the late emperor was here, you could whisper to each other in the hall, but here... No way!"

"I want to establish a new rule, how can I establish this rule... Doctor Taichang!" Liu Che set his sights on a certain official in the palace.

"The minister is here!" The official immediately stood up and responded.

"Go and check the Dian, find out how Wenwu Zhougong was established, and at the same time, also check me, the emperor..." Liu Che pointed to his nose and said, "What kind of house should I live in!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Che turned his attention to the prime minister in the palace and said, "Prime Minister... what kind of house should I live in!"

As he said that, Liu Che scanned all the people present and said, "What kind of houses should those princes and relatives live in!"

After taking a deep breath, Liu Che's voice became lower and lower: "Aren't many people buying land and real estate? Doctor Taichang, you have to figure out what qualifications they have and what specifications they have to live in. house!"

"You go to look up the classics, and when you're done, set up rules and etiquette for me... You can no longer just do whatever you want!" Liu Che instructed the Taichang doctor.

"My minister...has actually drafted some rules and regulations!" After Liu Che's words, Dr. Taichang immediately reported to prove his worth, "Easy clothing, correcting Shuo, and building Mingtang!"

"Very good!" Liu Che, who had heard the doctor's words too often, ordered happily, "Focus on a few important etiquettes first, such as... Jianming Hall!"

Speaking of this, Liu Che stood up slowly and said: "When the emperor is here, the most I can't tolerate is those princes and kings... They want this and that at every turn! This bright hall is built to let those princes and kings... The princes and kings come here to pay homage to me—don’t talk about my uncles and uncles, I just sit here, don’t care about your age, this king or that king, you all have to come here and kowtow to me!”

Liu Che's words had just fallen, but he didn't expect that the first one to jump out and sing the opposite would be Liu Che's uncle: "Your Majesty, whether it's the Jianming Hall, changing the color of the court clothes, etc., it actually involves money, and My court has always advocated a pure heart with few desires and a simple way of doing things!"

"Don't the imperial court have any money now?" Liu Che stared at his uncle dissatisfied and said, "What is there to do with that money? Let it go to waste?"

Liu Che sat back on his seat that symbolized supremacy, and then slowly said: "Gaozu had just finished the war and had no money, so he used an ox cart as a carriage, but my generation is rich, so the emperor I can’t run out of horses. I will replace all the broken horses. My horses must be the same height, the same color, and even the spots must be the same... If you can’t do these things, then you can still be called Royal horse?"

Looking at the silent ministers, Liu Che's tone has completely softened: "To be honest, what I want is not a horse, but to show the majesty and majesty of the royal family. No one can see it. No respect!"

…………

Liu Che's words on the screen caused an uproar in the barrage room in front of the screen as expected.

"Why do I listen to Liu Che's words...why do I feel more and more that he has the potential to be a fool?"

"Liu Che's father has always been frugal—according to what Liu Che's mother Wang Niangniang said back then, Liu Che's father's annual expenses are not as good as the food expenses of other princes... How can such an emperor, his chosen heir, be so frugal? Is such a person who likes extravagance and waste?"

"A third life like Dongfang player...can it really compare to his other two lives?"

"Liu Che's move may be to highlight the royal majesty, but in my opinion, there is no need to be so particular about some useless things. The top priority is to resist the Huns or even completely eliminate them. It is!"

"In my opinion, Liu Che's actions are not completely useless, but...his movements are too fast and too aggressive. I am a little worried that his strides are too big...and it will cause trouble. !"
