In fact, today's Han also needs a unified voice. Like Liu Che, Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, he made the whole country have the same ideas before the war with the Huns.
What Liu Yan did before was to follow the footsteps of the first Han Dynasty, and then he had the slogan of restoring the old land of the Han family. After waiting for the old land of the Han family to be gradually recovered, the previously unified voice of "restoring the Han land" is slowly losing its function, which is one of the reasons why the civil and military began to disagree.
The western region is also one of the old land of the Han family. Liu Yan has not entered the western region for a long time. In addition to worrying about the collision with the powerful countries in Central Asia, he is more or less worried that once even the western region is taken back, China will lose its consistent goal and fall into a period of confusion. Will he fall into internal consumption as in previous dynasties?
"Prime minister, you know it's not that I'm bothering myself."
The old palace city of Chang'an has only repaired a few palaces. Except for the palace of political discussion, it is a part of the harem. It really looks very poor.
For the monarchs who rule the vast territory, there is really no one who can't enjoy more than Liu Yan. In many dynasties, even if it is only the temporary residence of the monarch, it should be repaired beautifully. Liu Yan's temporary residence not only repaired few palaces, but also couldn't see too expensive decoration.
Ji Chang looked at Liu Yan who was worried. What can he say except nodding?
After the founding of the people's Republic of China, the central and local governments did things with the same idea. The goal was to revenge the oppressed prisoners. No matter how hard and poor, the army was not short of materials. It is precisely such a consensus that when the government starts to fight against aristocratic families and Haoqiang, even if aristocratic families and Haoqiang want to do things, they can not be followed by the people, so that the country can not be chaotic at all.
For contemporary people, vengeance against Hu Lu is "great righteousness". Anyone who hinders vengeance against Hu Lu will be crushed into slag by the general trend, which is the so-called general trend.
The Han people are about to complete the great cause of revenge against the Hu prisoners, only to completely solve the Murong and Tuoba remnants that have shrunk to the Xianbei grassland, hold high the banner of revenge, and see that the greatest effect will be lost.
The contemporary Han people need a clear goal after the completion of the great cause of revenge. It is not a general goal, but a planned and substantive plan that can withstand deliberation. There is no doubt that a new round of expansion is what Liu Yan wants.
"I agreed to go to war with the Gupta Dynasty, not only because I could get food from the Gupta Dynasty."
"I know."
"I'm not encouraging the arrogance of a martial man, but a big man can't live without a goal."
"I... know the king's worries, but... The big man needs to restore his internal affairs..."
"Internal affairs should be restored, but martial arts people should not be suppressed too much."
"I never thought so."
Liu Yan looked at Ji Chang deeply. He has his own eyes and ears. Too many people think that the military is too belligerent. They want to use the opportunity of building internal affairs to stop the military's belligerence, but it is inconsistent with his big expansion strategy!
It's not that the walkers simply don't know how many times Zhuxia civilization has lost the opportunity to become a global overlord. In the current year, it's not the best opportunity for Zhuxia civilization to dominate the world, but it's also a rare opportunity to seize.
Now in 349 ad, not to mention other continents, there are countries in Asia and Europe on the world island, one by one, all of which are in their own trouble.
If the history has not been changed by Liu Yan, East Asia will fall into a dark period of nearly 300 years. First, it will go through five random Hua, and then the northern and Southern Dynasties will stand side by side. It needs to wait until Yang Jian replaces Zhou before unifying China.
In Central Asia, the Sassanian founded by the Persians also experienced repeated unrest. First, there were endless uprisings by the Serbs and kusanas, and the Arabs also joined in the fun and made trouble all the time. The war between Persian sassanne and Rome was also continuous. Every time, the Persians were delayed by domestic unrest, resulting in the inability of the front line. In addition to the Persian Sassanian, others, such as hunit, Aram and Dayi, are also entangled with each other, and the northern Huns are rushing left and right.
Europa is no better. The second "joint rule of the four emperors" disturbed Rome, which did not care about the outside. Later, it was the death of Constantine I, which led to the civil war of his three sons because of the throne of Augustus. Before Constantius II, as the winner, restored Rome to strength, he died, Julian, the successor to the throne, was ambitious in another expedition to Persia. He really led his army to tession in sassanne, Persia, but he won first and then lost. Even Julian himself died on the battlefield of that expedition to sassanne, Persia. Julian's death directly ended the rule of Constantine family over Rome, and the second "officer succession event" occurred, It reopened the prelude to the continued turmoil in Rome.
It can be said that for a long time, countries with the largest number of World Islands did not live in peace. At this time, if there was no chaos within an old empire, it would be a natural expansion period, or an expansion period that would not encounter much decisive resistance at all.
Liu Yanyuan had only a vague impression of the current era, but didn't the Han country "connect" with the world? The news gathered again and again can make more judgments on the current situation of the major powers on the world island.
There is no doubt that as long as the Han country takes the lead in recovering from weakness, there is absolutely no problem in extending the pace of expansion to Central Asia. Even if it is operated properly, it can be done by brushing military boots in the Mediterranean.
"The prime minister has seen the 'world map'. Tell me what you see?"
"Minister fully supports the king's policy of great expansion!"
Liu Yan knew Ji Chang would say so, and he could only say so.
We must expand. Otherwise, as a Strider who knows the current situation, he should be despised. That is, how to expand, whether the occupied land can be used after expansion, and how to make the people willing to accept the drive. It's really not that the army goes out to kill and occupy the land for military merit.
If the army goes out to open up territory and expand territory, the Central Plains kings of all dynasties have done so. However, every time they fight down, they either leave Xinjiang to return to the dynasty immediately, or they are unable to manage the newly occupied land to gain and lose. As a result, the country has consumed but not obtained, at least there is no dividend except reputation.
After too many examples of not getting anything except prestige, more and more dynasties have a phobia about opening up to the outside world. They are afraid that they will spend national money and finally get nothing. They will also be sad at home because of the war. If they don't do well, there will be "one farmer, one people and one righteousness".
"Your Majesty... This is to..."
"The ram school is a good school."
The current trend of thought of great revenge in the Han Dynasty is that under this trend of thought, the revenge against Hu Lu was completed. After the Gongyang School of Confucianism was suppressed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were signs of recovery, and the other schools began to become active.
The most beautiful period of the Confucian Gongyang School was when Dong Zhongshu was recognized by Liu Che, but the most beautiful was that after Dong Zhongshu's death, the Confucian Gongyang School was recognized as "Imperial College" by the Han Dynasty, which was equivalent to the full official recognition.
Whether any school can get official recognition means its rise and fall.
In the Pre-Qin and Warring States period, Legalists became a prominent school in the Warring States period. For hundreds of years, except for the necessary strategists, no school can compare with Legalists.
After the early Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty respected the Huang Lao theory. As a result, the Huang Lao theory was no different for a while.
When Liu Che, Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, came to power, Dong Zhongshu brought the "beauty" of the Confucian Gongyang School to worship and benefit the whole Confucianism. Since then, all Confucian schools took turns to be the boss.
Confucianism is more hegemonic than any other theory. Other theories have the power to suppress other theories, but I really don't want to eliminate other theories, but Confucianism is different.
What Confucianism wants is "self-respect". In fact, this kind of hegemony is not so obvious in Gongyang School. They prefer to hold high the importance of "great recovery, revenge, Lord and righteousness" and clarify the importance of "punishment in spring and Autumn", but other Confucian schools are not the same, especially Guliang school, Zuozhuan school and Mao poetry school (not the Taizu of this dynasty).
To be serious, the scenery of the Confucian Gongyang School was not long. Only the generation of emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty was recognized, followed by the rise of the "peace loving" Guliang school, and the Zuozhuan school, which took tampering with history as its own responsibility. Even the Mao poetry school with the book of songs as the core of the school, had a great scene. Lu Ru was always miserable. There was nothing wrong with Lu Ru when he respected Confucianism alone. It can even be said that there was no room for Lu Ru to jump in the western and Eastern Han Dynasties. It was really their tragedy, but it was the luck of Zhuxia civilization.
There are deep reasons why Lu Ru didn't get attention in the early Han Dynasty. It's not because Lu Ru resolutely stood on the side of Xiang's group when Chu and Han fought. It's because they shouted to be loyal to Xiang after the collapse of Xiang's group, but waited for Liu Bang to send troops, but knelt and licked them immediately.
You can't be like that! Roar so loudly and try my best. I was so surprised that my liver jumped and tried my best to fight for my life. As a result, NIMA said to be loyal to Xiang Shi. My sword hasn't been pulled out yet. Why did you kneel and lick it immediately!?
The ancients... At least the ancients in the Pre-Qin and pre Han dynasties attached great importance to the word "loyalty and righteousness". They can do bad things or run away with bad pus, but they can't lose the integrity of the loyal object. Lu Ru's kneeling and licking made everyone dumbfounded. At the same time, he immediately looked down on Lu Ru's integrity. This is the reason why Lu Ru was always looked down upon in the early Han Dynasty.
What Lu Ru lost was not his own face, but the face of the whole Confucianism. At the same time, it also made Shandong people lose their face completely again. Originally, people in the east of mountain 1 were not looked up to by people in other regions. It was Han, Wei, Zhao, Yan and Chu in the Pre-Qin Dynasty who at least fought their lives before being defeated. Qi took hundreds of thousands of armor and fell without fighting. Since then, people in the East of mountain 1 have been unable to raise their heads.
Originally, Lu Ru had a bad reputation. Once again, Shan 1 East region has a reputation of "being able to uphold and bend". Not only is Lu Ru despised, but it is more difficult to develop in the early Han Dynasty. After three or four hundred years, the bad name was finally cleared, but it was again in the late Han Dynasty... It was a tragedy!
In today's Han state, 60% of the high-level are from Qingzhou (shan1 East) divided by the original administrative region, and more than 50% of the middle and low-level are from shan1 East. That's because Liu Yan set up troops in shan1 East. Of course, the first people to follow Liu Yan are from shan1 East.
For the contemporary Shandong people, if Liu Yan had been defeated and destroyed at the beginning of the war, he would have worked hard without clearing the shame left by his ancestors, and only handed it to future generations to clean the reputation of shame. The problem is that Liu Yan gained the power to build the country and rose. It can be said that shan1 Dongren have never been proud for the first time since the extinction of Qi in the Pre-Qin Dynasty.
Jichang is also a native of shan1 East. As a native of shan1 East, he should wash away the shame for his ancestors, so he had to support the national policy of large-scale expansion.
"The king means..."
"I seem to have made it very obvious?"
Liu Yan's meaning is already obvious, that is, the state of Han needs a theory to flourish, just like emperor Xiaowu of Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu takes his "beauty" to offer it when he needs it. No matter what it is, it is to unify the voice of the whole country.
"This..."
Ji Chang thinks he is a member of Confucian disciples, but he can't say which faction he is. This is one of the things that most poor people can't figure out. It's just that there are books to read, and no one has entered the door wall!
In fact, Liu Yan wants to promote Gongyang School directly. After he understands this school, he has a great appetite for it.
The great proposition of Gongyang School is "great 1 recovery, 1 hatred, 1 Lord and 1 righteousness" and adhering to justice and daring to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, which is a weakness in "annotation of scriptures". In addition, it likes to engage in "divination theology", which is very bad, very bad. That was also the reason why Gongyang School gradually declined after emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty. Later, it was suppressed by its arch enemies Guliang school and Zuozhuan school, and it was almost cold in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Confucian School of the Eastern Han Dynasty also had new branches, such as the "Zi school" (also known as the liberal school). However, this school actually liked the theology, and also liked to occupy the commanding height of social public opinion. It also took the pursuit of profit as its powerful development driving force. A large number of tedious interpretation and writing led to the rigidity of the Confucian school itself.
In the late Han Dynasty, Legalists rose again, but they didn't dare to make a name for themselves. They played with the "skin and bones of Confucianism". However, after the Sima family, Confucianism was not like Confucianism, but became a branch of Huang laoxue's theory, which was characterized by extreme love for metaphysics.
"I'm worried that as long as the Confucians seize the opportunity, they can do nothing else. It doesn't matter what the country is, and pleasing the king is the first and most important thing." Liu Yangen, regardless of Ji Chang's expression, said, "the second is the character of Confucianism."
Ji Chang was stunned. He didn't forget to supplement his knowledge base when he climbed to his current position. He really knew that the most important thing for Confucian scholars was to quickly take advantage of the king's liking himself and seize the opportunity to kill the school that didn't like him. He even wanted to make the governance of the country have nothing to do with other schools. Those who could be killed should be killed quickly.
"Ai Qing said to me, if there were no giants in the ram school, could we still find the school I want?"
