Chapter 1379 Dare to do it, dare not admit it
Chapter 1379: Dare to do but dare not recognize (Page 1/1)
Sun Ce reached out and took the book on the table and took a look. It turned out to be "Salt and Iron Theory". After reading it carefully, there were many cinnabar characters written in the world, which should be Huang Wan's comments on reading. Huang Wan's calligraphy is very generous, square, and has a strange and stunning spirit. Some of the taste of ritual steles is not as round as Cai Yong's calligraphy.
"Huang Gong is good at calligraphy." Sun Ce praised naturally: "Do you support the censor or the virtuous literature? As your identity, you should be virtuous literature, right? Don't compete with the people for profit and hide wealth from the people, right?"
Huang Wan's eyes flashed slightly, lowered her eyelids, and straightened the book that Sun Ce put on was wrong. Sun Ce could see that Huang Wan was in a conflicted mood and could not answer his questions. As a celebrity in the Huang Wan family, he certainly supported virtuous literature and opposed competing for profit with the people. However, based on his years of experience in politics, he knew very well that the result of opposing competing for profit with the people was the result of the aristocratic family and the powerful, which was a chronic disease that the dynasty had not been solved for more than a hundred years.
Sun Ce was not in a hurry and looked at Huang Wan quietly. Guo Jia said Huang Wan so well, but he was actually a little suspicious. No matter how smart Guo Jia is, he is still a human being, and he cannot escape the limitations of this era. His behavior is not mainstream, which does not mean that he does not yearn for mainstream. He has no resistance to famous scholars and officials like Huang Wan who become famous in a young age and have both virtue and talent. Li Ying, similar to Huang Wan, is one of Guo Jia's idols.
But in his opinion, no matter how talented the scholars of this era were, they were inevitably influenced by Confucianism. Their worldview began with the education of Confucianism and then had the opportunity to come into contact with reality. Their standard for looking at the world was Confucianism. Everything that was different from Confucianism was wrong and needed to be transformed.
This is one of the root causes of most of their paranoidness. Many people may realize the deviation between Confucian theory and reality, but at most they just protect themselves, be a hermit, or be a hypocrite, but no one dares to question the correctness of the Confucian aristocratic view.
Not competing for profit with the people is part of Confucian concept of benevolent politics.
In essence, the original intention of not competing for profit with the people is not wrong. No one wants the emperor to exploit the people's power without restraint and use the wealth of the whole world to use one's extravagant desire. Sun Ce did not agree. However, the beautiful wish of not competing for profit with the people inevitably goes against the consequences in the implementation, especially when Confucianism was the only one who became the political ethical pillar of the entire dynasty. The powerful families used this reason to justify the tax payment, and as a result, the household registration increased, but the court fell into financial difficulties and could only watch the uncontrollable expansion of the powerful families.
Most Confucian political thoughts are like this, with full ideals, skinny reality, perfect original intentions, and bad results.
Of course, this is not a problem that only Confucianism has. Huang Lao and Legalism also have shortcomings that cannot be overcome. In comparison, Confucianism is better and maintains stability for a longer time. After two thousand years of dynasties, each school took turns to take turns to make it last. In the end, Confucianism persisted for the longest. Confucianism was not the best, but the least bad. In contrast, Huang Lao Taoism and Legalism could not persist for too long. Qin used Legalism, but died in the second lifetime. In the early Han Dynasty, it was difficult to sustain itself for fifty or sixty years, and in the end, it could only watch Confucianism make its debut.
No political theory is perfect, and demanding Confucianism cannot solve any problem. From a dialectical perspective, with productivity, production relations must also change, otherwise it will become an element that hinders the development of productivity. However, Confucianism has one thing that is very fatal: retro, everything is the best in the past, everything is said by the saints, and even reforms must be made by ancient times.
In this way, Confucianism is born with self-contradictory attributes, and its words and deeds are inconsistent, and it is not surprising that it is slapped in the face by facts. Most of the problems of Confucianism come from this, the dispute between moral education and ethics comes from this, and the struggle between modern and ancient literature comes from this. Except for those great scholars who study hard, they only have paper systems in their hearts, no real world, and no contradictions. Anyone with actual administrative experience knows that it is most likely that it will not work if they really do things completely according to what the saints say.
Huang Wan has rich administrative experience, worked as a prefect, governor, governor, governor, and minister in the local court. He had the deepest understanding of this contradiction. Facing Sun Ce, he could not force his reasoning, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing to be caught by Sun Ce. As a prisoner, he could not suppress others as his predecessors. Sun Ce asked back and forth, he knew that this topic could not be continued, so he could only be silent.
Seeing that Huang Wan didn't say anything, Sun Ce laughed secretly and took the initiative to speak, changing the topic. "Mr. Huang, after you defeated me just now, you want to use my power to attack Yuan Shao. Is it a concealment or a heartfelt word?"
Huang Wan's eyes trembled. "Is there any difference now?"
"Of course there is a difference. If it is a concealment, there is nothing to say. You can be a prisoner with peace of mind, see how I defeat Yuan Shao, and then wait for the imperial court to issue an edict, or to rush to the court to conquer the court, or kill the three or nine tribes on the spot, all depends on the court's wishes. The Huang family in Jiangxia was removed from the list, but your name and Yuan Shao will remain in history books and will be infamous for thousands of years."
Huang Wan narrowed her eyes and the tips of her eyebrows trembled uncontrollably.
Sun Ce paused and said, "The Huang family in Jiangxia is also a big family. Your eldest father is the Grand Marshal, and you are the Grand Marshal. There are countless disciples and old officials. There are many people who will cover you up and leave one or two descendants. However, they will no longer regard themselves as descendants of the Huang family in Jiangxia. They should change their surnames or something. What can Huang be changed to? Behead the head and tail, and the surname You, or the surname Tian?" As he said that, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Huang Wan's expression changed continuously, and she couldn't help but sneer: "I have heard that General Sun is a joke, and it is indeed worthy of his reputation."
"Just?" Sun Ce said wavyly. "I think you can act as a prophecy, which is much more accurate than the 'Zhanwu Yuanzhang, who is the house'. It will take three to five years to seven to eight years to be effective. If Mr. Huang can take care of his health, he will definitely see it with his own eyes."
Huang Wan's face turned red and white. He raised his hand, pressed his heart, and gasped for a few heavy breaths. "What if I was saying the heartfelt words?"
Sun Ce smiled, took a step back, sat on the railing, hugged his arms, and crossed his legs. "If it was a heartfelt word, Mr. Huang might have the chance to lose his merits, it depends on whether you have such courage."
"Oh?" Huang Wan spoke long, without commenting, but she looked a little disdainful.
"Mr. Huang should have read Li Ru's articles?"
Huang Wan lowered her eyelids and said nothing. Of course, he had read Li Ru's articles, and he also knew Sun Ce's intention. Li Ru wrote articles as Dong Zhuo's old subordinate to expose the actions of the party members. In order to avoid being caught, some things cannot be told because he could not provide strong evidence. Huang Wan is different. He is an important member of the party members, and he participated in most of the things he did. If he wrote articles like Li Ru wrote "Experiences of the Ji Si Rebellion", the effect would be beyond Li Ru. The party members did not believe in Li Ru, but would not believe him. It would be difficult for Yuan Shao to deny it.
This article really needs to be written, whether it is Yuan Shao, he or Wang Yun, it will be subject to thousands of people and end up in vain.
"Why, why dare not admit it?" Sun Ce teased quietly. "It turns out that Mr. Huang is just tolerant of others, but tolerant of himself."
