Han Dao world

"Your idea is very good, and it's not too early." Liu Xie said, "Talk about it carefully. If there are merits, I will discuss it with the ministers at the next court meeting."

Fu Shou couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Liu Xie in surprise.

"His Majesty……"

Liu Xie smiled and touched Fushou's stomach. "Since it is a century-old plan, it is natural to have a long-term plan. It is also good to prepare early."

Chapter 1063

After Fushou became pregnant again, it goes without saying that she was happy, but also worried.

As Liu Xie said, it is difficult to be a prince, and it is even more difficult to be a prince of the hero.

With a history of 400 years in the Han Dynasty, there are only a handful of princes who successfully succeeded to the throne, and even more died unexpectedly. Even Emperor Xiaowen had the idea of ​​changing the prince.

The only thing that reassures her is that Liu Xie is obviously not a hero like Emperor Gao and Emperor Xiaowu. He has a farther vision and cares more about protecting her as a queen.If it weren't for Liu Xie's insistence, her position as queen would have been unstable long ago.

Even so, she was a little worried.Taking advantage of Liu Xie's good mood today, and just mentioned it again, he mustered up the courage to make a side note.

I didn't expect Liu Xie to be more direct than her, directly pointing it out, but it caught her off guard.

Fortunately, she is also familiar with Liu Xie, and knows that Liu Xie is not the kind of person who deliberately digs holes.The reason why she is so straightforward is that she must have considered similar issues before, but she has not yet found a specific solution, so she wanted to hear her opinion.

It's just that she didn't have a ready-made solution.

She had originally pinned her hopes on Liu Xie, hoping that Liu Xie would have a proper solution like dealing with other problems.

The two were relatively speechless, and then smiled knowingly.

"It seems that you don't have any ideas, so let's talk casually." Liu Xie said.

Fu Shou immediately said obediently: "I would like to hear your majesty's opinion."

"Actually, the key to this kind of thing is those four words: self-restraint and return to courtesy. Everyone has their own desires. Whether they can restrain their desires and keep the etiquette is extremely important..."

Liu Xie was not in a hurry, and spoke calmly, as if he was not discussing the imperial power that was related to his own personal interests.

In fact, to discuss this issue, first of all, stay out of it.

Fans of the authorities.Being in the situation, it is impossible to see the essence of the problem.

He was able to do this because he was not a born emperor, but a traveler who came from 2000 years later, living in an era when the imperial power had been destroyed.As an outsider, he has seen too many royal tragedies, is well versed in the drawbacks of imperial power, and has seen better options.

What he has to do is to turn that better choice into a system in a way that people of this era can accept.

Such as abdication.

He has always felt that the one-person-one-vote universal suffrage system in the West is not the best system. Too many people are limited by immediate interests and cannot make rational choices.And people who are good at manipulating public opinion and winning elections are usually not qualified politicians.

Knowing the king is certainly a joke, so why not Ao Guanhai?

In contrast, the Eastern traditional layer-by-layer selection system is more conducive to the succession of political power and the stability of policies.

The premise is to control the infinite expansion of the emperor's personal desires.

One of them is life tenure.

No matter how wise a person is, he will be lazy in his administration when he is old, his mind will be unclear, and he will make muddled decisions.

Therefore, it is very important to hand over power before being fatuous.Even if you retreat behind the scenes and become the Supreme Emperor, it is safer than directly holding the highest power.

For this alone, Deng Gong will be glorious through the ages, catching up with the legendary Yao and Shun.

Liu Xie also wants to do the same, but he hasn't reached that point yet, and there is enough time to brew.

Since Fu Shou mentioned it, he took the opportunity to blow the wind.

Following the example of Yao and Shun, practicing the system of abdication, choosing to abdicate at a certain age and abdicating to the successor is a feasible solution.

From a moral point of view, this is the system of the ancient sage kings, and no one will object to it.

As far as the reality is concerned, the old emperor listened to the government behind the curtain, and Fu Sijun succeeded to the throne, and gave him a ride, which was also good for the succession of the regime.

The only troublesome thing is whether the old emperor can control his selfish desires.

The king of future generations may not be able to do it, but he can set the law of the ancestors so that the king of future generations cannot easily overthrow it.

Of course, relevant system construction should also be considered.

For example, the abdication system cannot be completely copied, leaving a loophole called abdication, but in fact usurping the throne, so that Wang Mang and his ilk can make a comeback.

For example, how to ensure that the new ruler is not a puppet, while the old ruler can maintain his dignity.

Another example is how to coexist between the monarch and his subjects, so that while the monarch's power is limited, the minister's power will not expand infinitely and go to another extreme.

These are all things to consider, and it is by no means a decision that can be made by patting the head.

After hearing Liu Xie's thoughts, Fu Shou was deeply moved.

The emperor had thought of these issues a long time ago, and considered them more comprehensively and far-reachingly than her.

With such an emperor, why should I worry about the future?

It is right to have a few more strong and intelligent sons-in-law and educate them to be useful, so that the emperor has more choices.

-

The emperor's stay in Nanyang not only played a key role in promoting Nanyang's Dutian, but also had obvious deterrent significance to the neighboring Chongyu and Henan prefectures. The responsibility on Han Sui's shoulders was instantly lightened a lot.

In March of the eighth year of Jian'an, when the spring plowing began, all the prefectures and states in the four prefectures of Yanyu, Qingzhou and Xuzhou had completed their fields.

Although it is not ruled out that some counties are still resistant, in fact, no one dares not to go to the field.

If you don't save the fields, the people will rebel.

When the emperor and the common people stood together, the scholar-bureaucrat caught in the middle suddenly found that his body was like duckweed, and his feet were so empty that it was frightening.Coupled with the [-] Xiliang soldiers who were watching eagerly, there were only a handful of people who dared to stand up and oppose, and their voices were so small that they could be ignored.

Berkshire and Guanghan in Yizhou went to the fields under the supervision of the imperial army, and they made the fastest progress.During the spring plowing, almost all the land has been allocated, and the people are enthusiastically devoted to production.

Affected by this, the counties and states in the south of the Yangtze River also began to advance Dutian.It's just that the progress is different and the intensity is also different.

Someone suggested that Liu Xie make a tour of the south and take a walk in the south of the Yangtze River.

After repeated discussions between Liu Xie and Yang Biao, they decided to wait.

Of course Jiangnan needs to be developed, but it doesn't happen in a day or two, or even in a year or two, so a little slowdown won't have much impact.

Nanyang is different.

The legacy of Dixiang is too deep. On the surface, it seems that the new wind is blowing all over the earth, but there is still a lot of power behind it.He should stay in Nanyang for at least a year, so that the benefits of Dutian can be realized, let all the people see the real benefits, and let the opponents see that the improvement of the overall strength can make up for their losses. The last resistance completely melted away.

Wherever the emperor goes, there will be new fashions, and once the emperor leaves, he will revive. Inspections are meaningless except for wasting money and people.

When staying in Nanyang, Liu Xie was not idle.

He did two things: first, set up a shrine for Zhang Heng, ordered people to sort out Zhang Heng's works, published them all over the world, and organized people to conduct in-depth research;

Most of the former students in the lecture hall came from the army, and a small part were the children of officials.This time a new class was opened, and the students admitted were all teenagers with no military experience, under the age of 12, both male and female.

Liu Xie asked Yu Fan to start teaching them basic reading and literacy, teaching them martial arts, art of war, and various skills necessary for marching and combat. The schooling period is five years.

After graduation, these people pass the assessment and will be added to the Forbidden Army, becoming the new blood of Hubenrou and Habayashiro.

The bright future suddenly attracted thousands of people to apply for the exam.After careful selection, one hundred and eight people were admitted.

In order to show his importance, Liu Xie personally taught these teenagers the first lesson.

Chapter 1064 The First Lesson

Liu Xie was dressed in casual clothes, sitting on top of the lecture hall with a calm expression.

Yu Fan sat on the left side of Liu Xie, sitting in a high crown, with a serious face and an air of arrogance.

Lu Yi and Sun Shangxiang stood beside Yu Fan, one handsome and quiet, the other sassy and agile, they complemented each other and were pleasing to the eye.

Yang Biao sat on the right side of Liu Xie, opposite Yu Fan.

Behind him sat a middle-aged literary official, surnamed Liu Mingxian, styled Shizong, from Lingling.Originally it was Liu Biao's farewell.After Liu Biao resigned, Liu Xian lived in seclusion.It wasn't until the imperial court gave Liu Biao a posthumous posthumous title that he came out again and was made an official by Yang Biao.

His appointment represented that the scholar-bureaucrats of the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River were willing to cooperate with the imperial court, and the era of Liu Biao was officially over.

In addition, there are more than a dozen teachers from the martial arts hall sitting in the hall.

The lecture hall is different from other halls in Taixue, it has always been directly controlled by the emperor, and it can be regarded as the direct line of the emperor.But for so long, the emperor has never given lectures to the students in the martial arts hall. Today is the first time in history. Yu Fan specially took a day off, so that all the teachers who can get away can come to listen.

He often had contact with the emperor and knew that the emperor had seen people, but other teachers did not experience it personally.

Under the hall sat 12 freshmen who had just entered school, all aged over ten and under [-] years old.All of them have good facial features, not to mention handsome, but they are all full of vigor.

At this moment, they were looking at Liu Xie with admiration.

If it wasn't for Liu Xie, they would neither have the opportunity to study, nor would they have the opportunity to become students in the lecture hall.

Although there is no explicit regulation, the admissions this time are all the children of ordinary people.

Liu Xian's nephew Zhou Buyi also intended to run for the election, but was stopped by Yang Biao.This is an opportunity for the children of the common people. It has a strong symbolic meaning, so don't fight for it.Your nephew wants to become an official, there will be many opportunities in the future.

"Your Majesty, everyone is here." Yu Fan bowed slightly and said with cupped hands.

Liu Xie nodded, raised his head, coughed lightly, and looked at the teachers in the martial arts hall. "You are all teachers of the martial arts hall, and they have the heavy responsibility of teaching and educating people. Let me ask first, what do you think of the martial arts in the martial arts hall?"

After a moment of silence, someone stood up and bowed their hands in salute. "Returning to Your Majesty, "Zuo Zhuan" says: To stop fighting is to fight. A warrior is not killing people, but stopping fighting."

Liu Xie nodded, and asked again: "Is there any more?"

Someone got up again. "Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that the so-called stop of Ge is the stop of martial arts. It is not just the stop of fighting, but also the meaning of toes. Stop fighting is based on martial arts, and you should not forget to fight. It is said in the Sima Law: No matter how big a country is, it will perish if it loves war; no matter how peaceful the world is, if you forget war, you will be in danger.”

Before the words fell, the first person to answer stood up to refute. "The original meaning of the word Zhi is toes, and it is extended to stop, so the meaning of Zhizhan is higher..."

Before Liu Xie could speak, Yu Fan frowned and coughed lightly.

The teacher was originally high-spirited, but when he heard Yu Fan's light cough, he felt as if struck by lightning, became dumb for a moment, and sat back quietly.

Liu Xie smiled, and looked at the stunned students in the hall.

"Look, the teachers in the martial arts hall also have different opinions on how to interpret the four words 'stop fighting for martial arts'. But how can the four words 'stop fighting for martial arts' be able to explain everything?" The meanings are different, and you will encounter them in the future. Then, when different sayings are in front of you, how do you judge whether they are true or false?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only the half-grown children in the classroom were a little confused, but also the teachers in the classroom were a little confused.

Opinions are different, how to unify, this question has always existed, but there has been no answer.

Did the Son of Heaven think about this question and find the answer?

"You must think that I will have the answer, don't you?" Under the eyes of everyone, Liu Xie smiled and spread his hands. "But unfortunately, I have no answer."

There was an uproar in the hall.

Only Yu Fan stroked his short beard under his jaw, thoughtfully.

Liu Xie waited, and then said: "Perhaps, it is an extravagant hope that you want a universally applicable answer. Moreover, the goal of the martial arts hall is to cultivate generals who can defend their families and the country, not to be proficient in generals." Doctors of exegesis, put too much energy on how to explain this sentence, it is better to think about how to strengthen yourself."

He said earnestly: "Words cannot defeat the enemy, only weapons can. When you enter the martial arts hall to study, you must firmly remember this point, don't forget your mission, abandon the basics, abandon the practical and pragmatic, and become a doctor who insists on words." .”

Yu Fan was a little embarrassed, and the teachers on the side also looked at each other in blank dismay, and lowered their heads in shame.

The emperor's words are not meant for the freshmen, but for them.

The atmosphere in the martial arts lecture hall recently is a bit biased, too much energy is devoted to distinguishing and analyzing ancient texts and scriptures, but neglecting the practical research of ordnance and warfare.Especially ordnance, since Huang Yueying, Zhen Mi and others left their jobs one after another, the research on ordnance has stagnated.

Liu Xie stood up, walked down the hall slowly, and came among the children, talking eloquently.

"The imperial court built all the halls of Taixue to educate the students of the world, but the martial arts hall is not in Taixue, why? Because among all kinds of academics, martial arts and military science have their own particularity. In terms of the profound history, even animals know how to survive There must be armed equipment. It is good at running with oxen and horses, and good at pouncing with lions and tigers. Ge is indispensable. But these are not the biggest differences between martial arts and other learning."

Liu Xie stopped and looked around. "Who can tell me, what is the biggest difference between martial arts and other learning?"

There was a dead silence in and out of the hall, and no one dared to speak easily.

After a while, just as Liu Xie was about to reveal the answer, Sun Shangxiang in the hall suddenly raised his hand.

"Your Majesty, I know."

Liu Xie looked at Sun Shangxiang with some surprise, and nodded to show encouragement. "you say."

"People will die." Sun Shangxiang said loudly, "Many people will die."

Someone couldn't help laughing out loud.

Sun Shangxiang looked at Liu Xie intently with a serious face.

Liu Xie also smiled and nodded. "You are right. The biggest difference between martial arts and other studies is that people will die, and many people will die. Other studies, even if they are wrong, are just biased for a while or waste some money. But the theory of martial arts Soldiers are about life and death, so don’t be careless. Sun Tzu made it clear at the beginning of the Art of War: Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be investigated.”

He raised his eyes and looked at the lecture hall teachers in the classroom. "Many people can memorize this sentence fluently, even if they may not be generals. However, how many people really understand the meaning of Sun Tzu's words? Isn’t it true that people will die in the future, and many people will die?”

He said quietly: "When you read military books and learn the art of war, you must enter your heart and not stay on paper. Talking about military affairs on paper will lead to major events, ranging from death to death. In a word."
