One thousand three hundred and ninety-seven, the only thing he knows is the fate of the Wei Empire
Guo Peng can understand Guo Jin's concern, but some things cannot be left to others to do.
No one understands better than Guo Peng’s true intention and its importance, so Guo Peng must do it himself.
"I am the only one who understands these knowledge. I will not let these old scholars teach students the wrong knowledge of studying things. They cannot be told to mislead their children and harm the country."
“That’s good… it’s good.”
Guo Jin was silent for a while, and then asked: "My son never understood why his father promoted this study of matter. The Mohist theory was abandoned as early as the pre-Qin period, but his father picked it up and promoted it again. Is this what his father wanted to do?"
"Natural."
Guo Peng nodded: "All the pre-Qin schools of thought have been working hard to develop, aiming to gain huge political and economic benefits by influencing the upper class and promoting the doctrine of his own school, so as to gain huge political and economic benefits and achieve a great scholarship.
Whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, or Legalism, they do not have ordinary people in their eyes, but only the blood nobles from the pre-Qin period. What they are trying hard to strive for and serve are also these blood nobles.
Of course, the founders of various theories themselves were all nobles. In that era, ordinary people had no surnames. Those with surnames were all powerful and powerful nobles at least three generations. What they were popular with was actually the aristocratic learning.
Among all the schools of thought, only the Mohist school saw the common people and realized the power of the common people. Therefore, they advocated love and advocated "a virtue and valuable virtue. Although there are people who are in farmers and labor camps, there are people who can choose to choose], and advocated "officials are indefinitely noble, and the people are indefinitely humble."
"This...the imperial examination?"
Guo Jin was a little surprised: "My father established the imperial examination, is it all..."
"It cannot be said that it doesn't matter. The concept of the imperial examination is indeed similar to that of the Mohist school. I cannot say that it has not been influenced by the Mohist school's philosophy. However, due to the times, the Mohist school's philosophy is just a concept. It has not been promoted. After the abolition of all schools of thought, it has perished."
Guo Peng shook his head: "But fortunately, the Mohist theories disappeared completely. I took them out again and could easily delete them and eliminate the Mohist theory. I appreciate some of the Mohist ideas, but I will never accept them all."
"I see."
Guo Jin said that he understood: "The Mo family and his father both saw the great power of the common people."
"Water can carry boats, or cover them. We are boats, and ordinary people are water. The water is soft, but once the water gets angry, it will be huge waves. Sadly, many boats think they are indestructible, and in the end, they can only be overturned by the water."
Guo Peng pointed to the book "Mo Jing" on his desk.
"People who do not value the common people will eventually be abandoned by the common people. Once they are abandoned, they will surely die. A Jin, you must not forget it."
"My son keeps it in mind."
Guo Jin swore very seriously.
After Guo Jin left, Guo Peng sighed silently and put away the ink scripture on the table.
Whether you remember or forget, you can't escape the fate of the feudal empire.
Mr. Guo established a feudal empire, a feudal empire that was doomed to perish, rather than a promising republic.
This era was destined to be unable to lead the feudal empire forward, and he could only stay in this era.
Then, leave hope for future generations to move forward.
What is really important is not whether the descendants of emperors can remember his words or whether they can implement and learn from Guo Jun's studies.
That's all the details.
What is really important is whether the learning theory of studying things and knowledge can blossom everywhere and become a discipline that is widely valued by people. On this basis, various basic knowledge needed for the industrial era were born.
It is not easy for the Wei Empire to reach this point. The next thing is not something that an agricultural feudal empire can accomplish.
If industrial flowers can be nurtured in the agricultural soil of the Wei Empire, then the historical mission of the Wei Empire can be accomplished.
Guo Peng could not know what the future world would look like, and he didn't want to know.
The only thing he knew was the fate of the Wei Empire.
He actually saw Guo Jin's series of operations and was not happy.
He saw Guo Jin's disconfidence and a little cowardice in the face of the overall situation of the government and his hesitation when he took action. This time he did not have excellent actions, at least in Guo Peng's opinion, there were many problems.
But perhaps this is the limit that Guo Jin can achieve at this stage.
Not every emperor can remain calm and wise when facing a court storm.
At first, Guo Peng could not master the skills of large cleaning so skillfully.
But Guo Peng was the emperor who came out of a sea of corpses and blood. He had a strong will, and he saw everything, experienced everything, and he knew the little thoughts and tricks of his ministers clearly.
He can kill, make everyone afraid, and make everyone worship him. He has that prestige.
So he is not afraid.
And Guo Jin, no matter how well the emperor mastered his mind skills or how skillful he used his power skills, he was not the master of the country, but the successor. He could not have been as confident as Guo Peng to tossed with this country.
After all, he was not from the sea of corpses and blood, but was educated and trained by elites. Some people who only come out of the sea of corpses and blood can have insights, but he does not.
He did not have the courage to go even if there were thousands of people.
To promote social revolution, it requires that kind of courage and belief. Only supermans who come out of the sea of corpses and blood can possess it, but ordinary people cannot possess it.
Only by using strong will and beliefs and courage can we toss this country, bring this country to life, or forcibly interrupt the trend of going downhill and take it uphill again.
Guo Jin is himself, not the second Guo Peng, he doesn't have that kind of courage.
Guo Peng realized that he was not strong enough and he was not tenacious enough. He could only use power to control his ministers, but not use prestige to shock his ministers.
Maybe one day he will have his own prestige, but it will take enough time to be an emperor for twenty or thirty years to form his prestige.
But despite this, this prestige cannot be compared with the prestige of the founding emperor, and it is more like a kind of ruling inertia.
Guo Peng saw that Guo Jin wanted to get rid of his influence as the Supreme Emperor but did not dare to really let go of his influence and hesitation. He also saw that as the second-generation emperor, he was restrained and compromised in many things.
No matter how superb the power and tricks are, they are just a temporary solution. The court reform and the great purge are the real killer moves that can change the situation.
Every great purge can break the political balance of the court, as well as the corruption and exchange of interests hidden under the political balance.
Every major purge can bring about a reshuffle, a change in the political landscape, and an opportunity for the lower class of society to move upward.
The four words dynamic balance are behind the words courage and bloodshed.
If you don’t have the courage to make those bureaucrats bleed, you can’t even achieve dynamic balance. The Wei Empire will only go to chaos and then perish.
Guo Jin has learned how to use power surgery and can use power surgery well, but he lacks the political wisdom and courage to launch a great purge.
The Great Purge not only represents the emperor's murderous intent, but also represents the emperor's absolute control over the court-
Killing so many people and deposing so many people can still maintain the stability of the government and maintain the administrative functions of the government without any surprises.
This requires the emperor's strong control over the government.
This cannot be summarized in just a few sentences.
The several major purges launched by Mr. Guo were launched on the premise that the government could ensure the normal operation, chaotic central government and local governments and chaotic courts and chaotic worlds.
Therefore, all the unstable factors inherited by the Wei Empire from the Han Empire were wiped out by him. He completed his social revolution and brought the Wei Empire out of the fate of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
He has mastered the situation from beginning to end.
At present, if Guo Jin was asked to launch a major purge, could he control the situation and ensure that there would be no more serious political crisis during the major purge?
Guo Peng knew that he couldn't do it.
It may not be necessary for another ten years.
Guo Peng is alive and can also use Cheng Yu to launch the last major cleaning, but after that, there will be no such opportunity.
Can Guo Jin grow to the point where he leads the great purge?
Guo Peng doesn't know.
But Guo Peng knew that the Wei Empire was undoubtedly on the decline.
Take a Song and Ming style downhill road.
Even if its population is increasing, its wealth is increasing, its national strength is increasing, and its academic shift is underway, everything seems to be constantly improving, and the prosperity of the Wei Empire is far from coming.
But the Wei Empire was already on the decline.
From the moment he felt tired and decided to give up the throne, the downhill was determined and could not be reversed by manpower.
Even if he returns to the throne and takes over the world again at this moment, he cannot reverse this trend.
Guo Jin is not him, and he can't become him. He has only one, only himself.
No one else.
Faced with the heavy inertia of history, he won once and led the Wei Empire to jump out of the abyss of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It had consumed his life's energy. He could no longer lead the Wei Empire to jump out of the abyss of Song and Ming.
So Guo Peng sighed, buried his head, and wrote quickly.
He implemented all his expectations and hopes for the future in his words, hoping that one day, the seeds of hope will bloom into the brilliant flower of hope.
It is not him who can lead the entire nation to jump out of the abyss, but this flower of hope.
The seeds of hope that Guo Peng needs to care have just been planted.
It is so weak that it still cannot see a future that can be achieved.
