Section 563 Guiding Public Opinion (2)(1/2)

Zhang Yue naturally did not relax the public opinion monitoring of the scholars at the door. He asked Tian He to report the issues discussed by the scholars regularly so that he could follow up and guide according to the scholars' reactions.

"Wei Xiang?" After listening to Tian He's report, Zhang Yue naturally became interested in the young man who could understand his thoughts so directly, so he asked Tian He to inquire.

I got this name.

"Another historical figure..." Zhang Yue smiled slightly.

The prime minister of Wei of Dingtao, the prefect of Emperor Zhao's Henan, the counselor of the counselor, Bingji's later good friend, the prime minister of Emperor Xuan, and the prefect of Gao Ping.

He was one of the few infrastructure madmen in the middle of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, it was the first person to awaken the harm of these forces when the aristocratic families gradually rose and fought desperately.

Due to the efforts of Wei Prime Minister, the aristocratic forces suffered heavy blows during Emperor Xuan's period and were almost drowned in their infancy.

Unfortunately, Emperor Yuan and Emperor Cheng personally ruined the political achievements of Wei Xiang's life.

Let the things called aristocratic politics take root and sprout.

Of course, he is not a perfect person.

There are many problems, especially the problems that Confucian scholars should have.

Mainly a naive disease!

However, in today's era, which Confucian scholar is not naive?

Guys like Ju Hong are everywhere on the street.

This is also their cuteness.

At least, they still have ideals!

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhang Yue decided to try harder to see if he could push the wheels of history.

So he picked up his pen, wrote another paragraph on a wooden board, called Tian He, and ordered: "Hang it outside and let the scholar see..."

When Tian He heard this, he immediately took the order and left.

A moment later, another wooden sign was hung at the gate of Zhang's mansion.

Countless people looked over immediately, and even began to read it: "In the past, Duke Xiang of Song was twice ashamed of Chu, and was in danger of being humiliated. He was imprisoned and almost died. Therefore, although he had the meaning of integrity, he did not know the way to change the power and peril. The Spring and Autumn Period said: Do not hold on to China with the barbarians, because he had no faith!"

"Today, the lower scholars often discuss war and peace, but only talk about China's benevolence and righteousness, but the barbarians have no faith. Isn't this a carving boat to seek a sword?"

"I heard that all the kings under the sky are kings, and all the kings and ministers are kings. Now the Han Dynasty has a sage emperor who is in power, and has broadened his kindness and virtue in all the seas. The barbarians and distant countries admire the emperors and come back one after another. The Xiongnu Jizhao clan led beasts to eat people, took human lives, and plundered the countries of the Western Regions. The countries of the Western Regions are like trapped in water and fire, and the people are in danger of being overwhelmed!"

"The right to rectify the chaos is to rectify the Spring and Autumn Period, the meaning of survival and death is intermittent, and the teachings of the former kings!"

"Now the king and others adhere to benevolence and righteousness, and have put the people of the Western Regions under the ravages of the Huns, and have eliminated the teachings of poetry, books, rituals and music outside the border. Tens of millions of common people were wailing and crying. This is to abandon Confucius' teachings and the teachings of Duke Zhou!"

"In the past, Lu attacked Qi with Chu troops, and the Spring and Autumn Period hated it. Why did he hate it? The troubles began from this! What troubles did he suffer? Lu lost his own way and invaded Xia by barbarians. Therefore, Confucius said: People are born straight, and they are lucky to live! If there is no Jin Wen, Lu will be destroyed!"

"Now the king and others are loyal to benevolent and righteous, and want to sit down and watch the Xiongnu attack the Western Regions and abandon the people of the Western Regions and ignore them. Isn't it like the Lu in the past?"

Everyone looked at the words on the wooden board and fell into deep thought.

For the current Han Dynasty Shilin.

Their rulers are based on benevolence and righteousness.

After all, there was no righteous battle in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Confucianism hated all unjust wars.

Because it brings pain to the people, tear the society apart, and makes people's lives difficult.

But what if it was a charity war?

So……

At all costs, don’t be afraid of any sacrifice, and stick to the end!

To uphold the people and punish crimes and save the people of the world is a moral standard that Confucianism has been unswervingly acknowledged and abided by since Confucius.

For Confucianism, at least in theory, for justice and the world, we should go through fire and water without rushing to die.

Therefore, the Spring and Autumn Period praised all heroes who fought against aggression, fought against barbarians and fought for the Xia Dynasty.

Even if there are slight flaws, they will try every means to cover it up.

A typical example is in the 18th year of Duke Zhuang of Lu, the Duke of Lu led his army to leave the country and went deep into Jixi, and caught a minority active in the local area and beaten them up.

When recording this, Confucius used almost the highest praise he could use to describe it.

This matter is even described as the best good thing since the founding of Lu!

He also raised it to the point of the people of the world.

In Confucius' view, Duke Zhuang of Lu sent troops for justice, love and peace, and for China.

This matter is the obligation and responsibility of Lu as a member of Zhu Xia, and is the immortal contribution made by Lu to the people of Zhu Xia!

We completely avoided talking. In fact, the alien race in Jixi at that time had no intention of invading any of the Xia ethnic groups.

But expelling barbarians and respecting the royal family was the greatest political correctness in Confucius' mind.

No matter who it is, as long as he beats the barbarians, he will sing praises.

Therefore, many people began to think.

Everyone couldn't help but think in their hearts: This education of barbarians is indeed the religion of the former kings.

The greatest political correctness is to fight against the strong and help the weak, and to survive and die.

Are the Huns bad?

Of course bad!

And it's so bad!

The entire Han Dynasty, regardless of faction or position, whether it is modern or ancient, whether it is poor or nobles, the perception of the Huns is a unified human face and animal heart, and a vulgar man who leads beasts to eat people.

However, in the minds of many people, in fact, there is no worst group of barbarians, only worse.

Even the best barbarians are still beasts walking on two legs.

We nobles of Xia should not have too much contact with them.

In order to avoid being infected with the customs of the barbarians and being willing to fall into depravity.

Therefore, the Huns are bad, but others are just as bad.

but……

On the other hand, Confucianism has a very strong and very high Datong thought.

In Confucianism, the world will sooner or later become unified.

At that time, the Holy King was born, and his supreme kindness was exerted to all tribes in the six worlds.

Everyone will follow his teachings and guidance and come together.

Moreover, the standards of the barbarian group, even in the Spring and Autumn Period, often change.

For example, in the view of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Wu Kingdom was undoubtedly a barren land.

but……

At some point, the Wu Kingdom became Wu Zi and became the standard Zhu Xia.

Why?

Because he used the moral values ​​of the Xia Dynasty to do things, for example, when Wu attacked Chu, the banner of presiding over the country was to uphold justice for Cai, Confucius immediately changed his face and sang praises.

Therefore, for a time, many people, especially those scholars with a greater influence in the ancient literature school, began to hesitate.

I started to think about Zhang Yue’s words and logic in my mind?

If you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

The Huns bullied the countries in the Western Regions, and enslaved the people of the Western Regions.

The Huns did not use poetry, books, rituals and music to teach them. They lived in the same house as barbarians, and even implemented the notorious follow-up marriage system and human sacrifice.

In any aspect, this is a standard villain.

It is the enemy of civilization and the enemy of the great way.

If this concept is determined, then the king's army will fight against the Huns, which will be the king's army, and will punish the people and punish them.

What's more, the countries in the Western Regions were probably suffering too much and were enslaved, exploited and suppressed by the Huns.

They cannot even come into contact with the teachings of poetry, books, rituals and music.

It's pitiful to think about it!

With this compassionate heart, the idea will naturally be different.

This is like the Westerners in later generations.

Attacking Syria is of course a voice of opposition.

But if we are under the banner of "for the Syrian people", for love and justice, and for the people and oil, then many people will change from opposition to support.

In fact, the same is true for Confucian scholars.
