The two of them drank tea for a while, and Du Zhongxiao said: "In addition to the lieutenant general of the Hequlu Army, Nehan is the first person who is willing to listen to me talking nonsense."

Wang Gongchen said: "Jie Shuai is humble. Are these words really nonsense? No one listens, but it is because Ji Shuai doesn't say them. This time I went to Shengzhou, and before leaving, the emperor told me that the imperial guards in Beijing were defeated by the imperial guards in the last time, so I must find out the reason. I especially listen to Ji Shuai's words, what's going on. Just tell me what's going on. The more detailed the better. I will go back to Beijing to report to the emperor."

Du Zhongxiao nodded, took a sip of tea, and thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I will speak more carefully. I will just say it roughly, just say what I mean. How to report to the emperor, Neihan will consider it."

Wang Gongchen said: "Jingshou, please tell me. I will be cautious when I return to Beijing to report."

Du Zhongxiao didn't talk about these things before, and he rarely talked about why in the military arrangement. One reason is that his own level is limited. His mind is that he has no idea about the noun concepts of later generations occasionally pop up, but he doesn't have much to say in a series, and others are confused. Today, there is finally someone who is willing to listen to his own lectures and his level is enough, so Du Zhongxiao is willing to speak more.

After drinking tea for a while, Du Zhongxiao said, "Life is born between heaven and earth. It is often said that it is a chaotic world or a polite world. The so-called chaotic people are not as good as a peaceful dog. If there is no way, who would not want peace in the world? What is a polite world? A bumper grain, a family with surplus grain, no road collection, and no door closing at night are all manifestations. The most fundamental thing is that the world returns to its heart and people come to join the world. Neihan thinks, right?"

Wang Gongchen nodded silently and didn't say anything. This is a big topic. It's good that Du Zhongxiao can raise it, and Wang Gongchen doesn't expect him to explain it clearly. As long as there is no big mistake, then continue to talk, and there is no need to argue at this time.

The founding of the Song Dynasty was made by Taizu Chen Qiaoyi's yellow robe, and it was established in the Zhou Dynasty. No matter how beautified, it was actually a general usurping the country. If people at this time did not mention it, it would not mean that they did not think so. Therefore, there was a problem of insufficient legitimacy in the Song Dynasty. Many policies of the Song Dynasty, such as treating the imperial guards as the minions of the emperor, setting the combat units at the level of battalions with only a few hundred people, and actually abolishing the generals of the army, are all related to this. The Privy Council and the generals who used troops but did not control the army, and the separation of military and political orders were all affected.

In this era, facing many crises, reform has become a consensus and an imminent matter. It is impossible to avoid large-scale reforms and re-establish the legitimacy of the regime. Otherwise, court officials would not dare to take action, the emperor would not dare to rest assured, and restrain each other. It was in this case that Ouyang Xiu was the flag bearer and core and began to establish a new theory to make up for the lack of legitimacy for the Song Dynasty. Later Wang Anshi's reform was based on the ideological changes at this time. The Six Classics Notes on me, and the laws of the ancestors were not protected, and they were all provided by new ideas.

Ouyang Xiu first advocated that after Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan, theories were theoretically digging out the roots of the Destiny Theory. Why is the emperor the emperor? It is not because he is the emperor, but because he can govern the world well. What represents the destiny of heaven? The great rule of the world. The world's rule and chaos replace the mysterious destiny theory as the basis for destiny. If the world is in chaos, it means that the destiny of heaven is not there and the emperor is not worthy of being the emperor.

The legitimacy of the regime avoided the problem of insufficient legality of Taizu usurping Zhou. So what if a general usurped power? As long as he could manage the world well, it would be the destiny of heaven. At the same time, the theory of governing chaos put a tight curse on the emperor. Once a turmoil occurs, the legitimacy will be questioned. If the dynasty changes, it will always be possible to change the emperor. The Zhao family is prosperous, and it is not only the emperor, the surname Zhao. The extreme manifestation is that after the Song Dynasty moved south, Song Gaozong chose the crown prince and Taizu. Because of the Jingkang tragedy, Taizong's legality is gone, and after not choosing Taizu, the situation will be even more uncontrollable. This is not only the consensus of civil officials, but also the royal family recognizes it. There is no psychological pressure to change the emperor in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Du Zhongxiao started talking about the chaos because at this time Ouyang Xiu's thoughts began to mature and had an influence among the literati. Why didn't Du Zhongxiao put aside Ouyang Xiu and put forward his own theory? Because he didn't have the ability. After more than ten years of official career, Du Zhongxiao had self-knowledge and did not do things beyond his ability, and jumped on the stage to let everyone see their own jokes.

As for the education I received in my previous life and theories I learned, don’t be funny. It would be good if Du Zhongxiao had a high school level. He thought that he could establish a school by relying on middle school knowledge. He was too much thinking about it in front of these top talents who were based on thousands of years. If this era was a stage, then it would not be the right corner on the stage, but just a clown.

In particular, Du Zhongxiao's era and cultural achievements were completely incomparable to this era. Using the theory of that era to educate people in this era is like the imperial guards of this era calling them to the People's Army thousands of years later.

If the army and civil servants are separated as two systems, their achievements are divided into civil governance and martial arts, then you can see clearly. The Song Dynasty's army was inherently deficient. From its founding and to its destruction, except for a few generals such as Yue Fei who had made great achievements to the outside world, this army has never been recognized by the people. In the folk context, soldiers are inferior people and are looked down upon. Their performance is also appropriate, they have lost consecutively to foreign wars and lost their lives, and they have given all the land unified from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to foreign races in hundreds of years. This army was inherently deficient and did not rise up again after the day. The so-called martial arts dynasty is a joke in history, and most of the hatred for the destruction of the country must be borne by them.

The civil servant group developed from the old bureaucrats and the staff of major generals when they were first established. The Taizong Dynasty expanded the imperial examinations, and the literati took decades to completely eliminate the old civil servant group and showed a new look. In contrast to the military's uselessness to the outside world, the civil servant group of the Song Dynasty had a huge impact on the inside and outside, and a large part of the cultural foundation of later generations was laid by them. After the literati of the Song Dynasty, no cultural group reached their height. The Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties were talking about articles, which actually showed their ideological status. They changed the foundation of destiny through governance and chaos, and thus gave birth to a complete set of political, economic, social, ethics, ideological and theoretical projects. This was never done by later generations.

The founding of New China is a new regime that emerges from the barrel of a gun. The army silences the people and punishes crimes, saves the country, the nation's peril, saves the people from water and fire, and is born. The foundation of the regime is the people's army, and the contributions of literati can basically be ignored. Facing a thousand years ago, the people's army could laugh at the army of this era, and they were qualified. But a thousand years later, a literati who laughed at the literati of this era, would be the opposite.

Many ministers of the Song Dynasty, including Khitans on the opposite side, had their own fans. When the Song Dynasty was envoyed by the Khitans, they usually used ministers who were famous in the literary world as envoys. They could be called "destroying their mission." Sometimes they would meet those who admired them very much, such as Su Che, who later made trouble, most of them could be properly resolved and would not insult the face of the country. For example, Wang Zeng, a white-faced scholar who won three yuan, went on a mission to Khitan. The Khitan suddenly proposed to compete for archery to make the scholar look ugly in public. Wang Zeng's arrow shot, and everyone had nothing to say. How many later literati did it? He was regarded as a guest of honor and was highly treated as an army.

Du Zhongxiao's previous life did not have this awareness. When it comes to the status of literati, it is like how it was in ancient China. When it comes to the contributions of literati to the country and nation, it is vilified. Even if there is a little or two in favor of the ancient Chinese, it has to add a few attractions, such as the simple thing that expresses primitive thing, and it seems that he is so advanced.

Why is this happening? The literati of that era swept away the late Qing literati and claimed to be new literati. Where is the new? Abandoning Chinese cultural traditions and introducing foreign cultures. They are particularly good at smashing an old world, but they do not show the ability to build a new world culture. Most of the work they do is to introduce foreign knowledge, rather than establish China's own new culture. The new culture movement started with smashing old culture and introducing foreign cultures. It has been like this and has always been like this, and has not established China's own new culture.

When civil officials of the Song Dynasty were on missions, they would meet their fans. When literati of the new era were on missions, they would be proud to be able to meet their idols. Even if they could not see their idols, they would be extremely honored to be able to embark on the land where their idols lived. Literati of the new era added almost all the cultural achievements of ancient China to simple, primitive, and simple, not because they were advanced or because they were powerful, but because they learned foreign knowledge. The foreign cultures are naturally advanced, advanced, and full. In their eyes, Chinese culture is naturally only worthy of those attributions.

In the eyes of literati, why did China lag behind foreigners? Everything was caused by ancestors' lack of virtue. The Song Dynasty began to worship literature and suppress martial arts, and the Han Dynasty began to respect Confucianism alone. If they did not do this, they would learn from foreigners early. How could these literati be bullied by foreigners in the era when they were born and lived in, and they would always be one of the foreigners. When the Han Dynasty was powerful, they were all ministers and concubines in the world. When the Song Dynasty's culture was at its peak, they were all Song styles within thousands of miles. It was not important to these people. The most important thing in their eyes was why they didn't learn from foreigners early.

When Du Zhongxiao first became the first, he still wanted to use the knowledge of later generations to make political achievements and bring enlightened ideas and advanced culture to the world. After being an official for a long time and reading more books, he realized that he was fortunately not having the opportunity, otherwise it would be so embarrassing. How embarrassing? At this time, the Song army told the People's Army a thousand years later, "You can't do it, let me teach you the strong Song army."

What culture shows internally is to unite people's hearts, make the people feel happy, and let the regime have firm support from the people. What is externally expressed is foreigners' admiration for the Chinese style, take the initiative to take the Chinese name, use Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and read books written by the Chinese people. This is not based on poetry, songs, it is just a sub-section of culture, an amateur activity. What is really attractive is the theory in culture.

Cultural thought provides firm theoretical support for politics, and the strongest combat effectiveness is reflected in politics. The previous martial arts exercise in Beijing made Du Zhongxiao feel that the world is absurd. It is not because of the victory or defeat, but because of the imperial guards in Beijing. Most of the command and actions are run according to the wrong procedures, as if they were countermeasures, and Zhang Ke picked up a big victory. The imperial guards in Beijing are absurd. If culture is a war, wouldn’t the previous life be equally absurd?

In the past life, the regime was born from the gun. The People's Army was the foundation of the people's regime. The political principles were very clear. The most basic requirement was that there was a political strength. But some soldiers proudly said that "the duty of a soldier is to obey orders." Where did this idea come from? It was hyped by cultural people. The slogan of the People's Army is "Serve the people". Of course, the foundation is the people. What do you want to express when talking about things?

China is not so backward, and it has to export culture to the outside world. What should it be exported? It can only be said in one word. Du Zhongxiao thought about it carefully and found that there are only two items that are real. One is exaggerated in the movie. A foreign guy saw the Chinese, slapped his hands and showed off his power, and then said: "Chinese Kung Fu--" must have a foreign accent. Another is that the military appearance, military salute, military system and other content attached to the army are truly exported.

Other cultural outputs are absurd. The food culture and cooking skills that were most talked about in the past life have become "culinary" in China. People think that using Japanese names is of high quality and culture. Where do you export them? Do you say that this dish shows the profoundness of Chinese food culture? Or do you show that Japanese people will name them? For ten or twenty years, men, women, boys, girls, and boys and girls used outside the school have become boys and girls. Everyone knows that this is from Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, it is so elegant to say that. In the school, good classmates have become seniors, seniors, juniors, and Wanwan, and Wanwan are the ones who learn Japan. The artificial intelligence that used to be very normal suddenly became various wisdoms, and they are still learning Hong Kong and Taiwan. All this happened, but when the economy has caught up, Chinese people have confidence and cultural people have confidence.

These appearances show the cultural heritage of a society. What is the cultural heritage? When it comes to reviving traditional culture, he advocates the Three-character Classic. Without talking about ideological content, this is a primary school reading material. That is to say, the traditional cultural level of cultural people at that time was still in the primary school stage, and they were semi-culturally blind. Cultural people who came to promote traditional culture were all semi-illiterate, so what else should they say? In addition to promoting the Three-character Classic and promoting traditional etiquette, who should I find? Those who speak crosstalk and beat the drums, come to tell you about the old rituals. If you don’t have a voice, it will not reflect the kindergarten level.

Traditional etiquette, talking about old etiquette? There is absurdity everywhere. In this era, there was Taichang Liyuan, which often redesigned new etiquettes. All the various classics asked you to refer to the new etiquettes and talk about what the old etiquettes wanted them to do.

Li and music are connected, rituals and music. Li is used to regulate people's social behavior and reflect the style of the times. It has been around since ancient times. The five lectures, four beauties and three loves in the previous life are the new rites of that era. The new society does not use old classics to separate from the classical era. Music does not simply refer to music, or the main content is not music. Music is the correct sound, and after the correct sound, it is unified. There is a unit in the weight and measure. Bell is the music used to correct sound. Determine music, which means determining weight and measure. Li is to determine the correct behavior of a person. Compared with ritual, music confirms the nature.

What is cultured? This way, the weights and measures are cultured. The elbow is determined by one unit, the foot is fixed by one unit, and the butt of one horse is fixed by one unit. Do you dare to say that it is cultured? When Du Zhongxiao established the Iron Supervisory Office, he only unified and standardized, and did not redefine the weights and measures, because he really couldn't. According to the above, the casual unit will make the cultural people of this era look at it like a monkey. Using the sound of the music to determine the weights and measures, the descendants can trace it step by step back with the continuous civilization. Even if the method used is very primitive, it is effective.

Culture is a system, manifested in all aspects. Folk culture is the superficial structure, politics, economy, law and other superstructure, which is the masterpiece. The duty of a soldier is to obey orders. Such a sentence that violates the political principles of the military can be boasted by cultural people, and can even in turn affect soldiers, indicating the weakness of the culture of the times. The political mission of the people's regime is written at the door: "Serve the people". The political, economic and legal system should be developed from this sentence to form a complete system. "Serve the taxpayer" and "be responsible to the taxpayer". This is seriously inconsistent with political principles, but it is regarded as a catchphrase by cultural people and influences officials. Do you dare to say that the times are cultured?

Culture shows the achievements of officials, which is civil governance, which is opposite to martial arts. The ultimate of civil governance is the world's heart. In the words of later generations, it is the desire of the regime and the people. Culture is the foundation of civil governance, and the whole society is full of uncultured appearance. Where does civil governance come from? Civil governance is the world's heart, foreign people admire it, and foreign races yearn for learning about your culture. The Song Dynasty showed that the Khitan was the opposite, the party and the party and the people's heart was later the Jurchens. The army could not defeat it, but who could have a way to spread such an innate army with innate shortcomings and no effort to work hard.

In Du Zhongxiao's previous life, when he was protected by a powerful army, he would not say that people from afar admired the world. Even those who were reclaimed and did not take back looked down on you from the bottom of the situation, disagreed with you, and thought they should be superior, what does it mean? It shows that the weakness of culture is and the foundation is shallow to the point of absurdity. Don't say that the enemy is strong, don't say who is afraid of power but not virtuous, but they are not good at it. Cultural people are instructing the country to history, but bullying the dead and can't speak, and they can't even beat the weakest ones.

In military terms, Du Zhongxiao can open up a situation based on the knowledge in his memory. In culture, with the little fur he learned and the little sense of superiority instilled by shallow literati, he will give guidance to this era and become a clown on the political stage. Specific measures can be made. Once it reaches the theoretical level, you will find that others know better than you.

Ouyang Xiu reformed the theory of destiny by governing chaos, filling the foundation of legitimacy for the Song Dynasty, and letting later literati comment on it, and he would definitely add a few attributions, simple, primitive, simple, etc. to show the advanced level of their cultural level. However, with economic construction as the center, poverty and investigation are not socialism, etc., but it does not go beyond the framework of the theory of governing chaos. Where is the so-called advanced culture manifested?

If Du Zhongxiao used the theories learned in later generations to educate the literati of this era, he would become the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty who mocked the people's army. Because the people who taught him the knowledge had a height of theory and thought that was far from being able to comment on the culture of this era.

If there is a few simple words that allow Du Zhongxiao to look down on this era in thought and theory.
