"Confucianism!"
Emperor Jing never reused Confucianism, but allowed Confucianism to develop.
Although there is a reason for Confucianism's attachment to the imperial court, it is more due to Emperor Jing's plan.
Right now, the new emperor is using this move.
Although letting Confucianism develop is like dancing on the tip of a knife, as long as he uses it properly, Confucianism is a knife in his hand.
Even if they make vague statements and do things that seem grand but are actually useless, the Confucians will move forward according to the new emperor's command.
For example, he asked Shen Pei Gong to revise the law of Mingtang. No matter how well Shen Pei Gong revised it, it would be a piece of paper after it was submitted.
As long as he doesn't implement it, no matter how much Shen Peigong does, it will be useless.
The correction of Shuo is a revision of the calendar, which only has commemorative significance, while the change of clothes is a matter of etiquette, and the summit of Mount Tai to Fengchanna is far away.
The new emperor seems to have done a lot of things, but everything is superficial.
But if Confucianism is to become a popular school in the Han Dynasty, these things cannot be avoided.
It is not surprising that the school of thought was promoted. Before the unification, Great Qin had already promoted the Legalist school. At that time, many competing countries also promoted various schools of thought to enhance their national strength.
History often has surprising similarities. This is something that Emperor Jing had long expected, and Confucianism is no exception.
When Confucianism settles in the imperial court and develops to a certain extent, this is something that the Confucian school will most likely propose.
Only one month after becoming the imperial censor, Zhao Wan had already thought about this. When they met privately, he made the suggestion of respecting Confucianism and Legalism as expected.
Xintei also responded with a plan that had been decided before.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Zhao Wan with a respectful face and a smile that couldn't be hidden.
Everything at the moment is still barely under control, but Emperor Jing cannot push everything too far. These backhands should be used once and less.
When there is no backup, it will be time for the new emperor to support it alone.
This time came earlier than the new emperor imagined, but it was considered the right time. At least the Confucian monks would go to Yangling to solve Yangling's future problems.
When the troubles in Chang'an City and Yangling recede, it means that the remaining forces of hundreds of schools of thought have come to an end. There will be few schools that will not let go of Emperor Jing, and then these schools will test the bottom line of the new emperor. Let's see if the emperor Will the administration of one government be different?
"Confucianism is undoubtedly a strong enough shield!"
Seeing Zhao Wan exiting the main hall of Weiyang Palace with joy on her face, the new emperor couldn't help but murmur.
Confucianism seems to have many advantages, but Confucianism has to withstand the suppression of the imperial court and the counterattack of various academic schools. It is almost impossible to develop to an unshakable level.
If the relaxation of control by the previous dynasty had not allowed Confucianism to develop to a certain extent, Confucianism would not be qualified to block the sword.
"As long as I can control Confucianism for three to five years, I can get rid of the remnants of hundreds of schools of thought, block the control of the Anle Palace, and ward off the harassment of evil countries!"
There are many regional schools of Confucianism such as the Qi School, the Lu School, and the Gongyang School. Almost every region has a leading Confucian scholar.
Shen Peigong is a very prestigious Confucian scholar at present, but other great Confucians are not bad, such as Yuan Gu, Dong Zhongshu and others are equally outstanding.
The current Confucianism is equivalent to the combined force of more than ten schools of thought. As long as Confucianism can be unified internally, it will indeed be an extremely huge force.
As long as Shen Peigong and others are given a few years, these people will rely on recommendation relationships to promote internal bundling of Confucianism, and they will have great power, so that they can serve the imperial power.
As long as the new emperor leads him like this, the Confucians will fight wherever he points.
Continuously doing things and consuming continuously, eventually the time came when the Confucian school declined, and it was also time for the emperors to choose another school for training.
There are many places that require careful operation to avoid the danger of raising tigers.
The new emperor thought and calculated over and over again, until he gained some confidence in his heart and stabilized his emotions.
"If everyone in the world serves the country and the people like Zixu, why should the great Han Dynasty be successful in its prosperity!"
The new emperor glanced at the bamboo slips placed on the desk, and he couldn't help but sigh.
The disputes between schools of thought in the Han Dynasty are just a microcosm. There are also disputes over imperial power, territorial disputes, etc. Each of these battles requires a lot of effort.
The new emperor is extremely short of people.
It seems that he controls everything, but he has no real power under his control. Anything he has can be suppressed by others.
But he only served as emperor for a short year, and it was really difficult to hold power at this time.
There are always old people to take care of newbies on the road, and the Empress Dowager is one of them. The same is true for the Empress Dowager, and the same is true for many senior officials in the court.
In the minds of many people, being young is a bad thing. People at this age are not stable enough, and it is difficult to think about problems in all aspects. They are also prone to impulsiveness and other problems, and they are not enough to make a career.
This youth brought considerable trouble to the new emperor.
But he also used it in the opposite direction.
For example, when he was in Weiyang Palace for a quarter of an hour, he had already heard the voice asking for permission and the hurried footsteps of Shen Peigong.
The other party still didn't observe etiquette, but the new emperor didn't take it seriously either.
To outsiders, his youthful impulsiveness will bring disasters that are difficult to control, but in the eyes of some people, it will also bring opportunities brought by reckless impulsiveness.
After receiving Zhao Wan's reward, Shen Peigong couldn't help himself and quickly came to confirm in person, guarding against the passage of opportunities brought about by the new emperor's young and energetic decision.
"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants me to revise the law of Mingtang?"
The young eunuchs could only announce three or five times, and Shen Peigong's feet had already stepped on the door of the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
When he stepped out again and again, the afterimage of Shen Peigong's body passed by, and then he was already standing in the center of the hall.
After he saluted, he spoke directly and got to the point.
"Yes." The new emperor nodded and said: "Zhao Wan's suggestion to me is very good. I think it is good to unify schools of thought. If the Qin Dynasty can be based on Legalism, it is not impossible for our Han Dynasty to be based on Confucianism! "
"Your Majesty is wise," Shen Peigong said with great joy.
"The law of Mingtang needs to be revised. At this time, Shen Peigong needs to revise it in place, so that this matter can be pushed forward at once," the new emperor said.
"I am willing to work hard to complete this matter," Shen Peigong said with great joy.
"There are still some ineffective ones among the hundreds of schools in Yangling..."
"Your Majesty, you can leave this matter to us," Shen Pei said impartially: "Shen Pei only needs to ask for an order from your Majesty to travel to Yangling, and the matter will be taken care of and resolved!"
"Then I'll be relieved!"
The new emperor laughed, then pointed to the secret edict that he had prepared long ago, and motioned to the young eunuch to submit it to Shen Pei.
"The Yangling incident should be completely resolved!"
Seeing that Shen Peigong was as excited as Zhao Wan after receiving the secret order, and he could see his excitement even when he was walking, the new emperor knew that Confucianism would not take things lightly in Yangling, lest he suffer a setback at the beginning, which would make him dissatisfied or perhaps It is difficult to firmly promote Confucianism.
