There is nothing to watch in Chang'an City. People are busy with their own affairs and performing primitive work. Literary scholars and poets will not go out to show off, but rely on generals and ministers of the marquis and states. In this way, they can often find like-minded people because others do this. Working behind closed doors is something that geniuses do, not everyone is like Guiguzi. Even if they don't go out, their disciples are extremely powerful.

The shops of 3322 are not dense but are distributed in an orderly manner. The generals and civil servants who manage the capital are very dedicated, or the emperor dare not neglect their duties at the feet of the emperor.

Those who can visit Liu Che,

All recorded in the roster,

When he was looking through the roster today, he was a little uneasy. Dong Zhongshu was coming? Is this true or the same name and surname?

These things were left to Han Yan, so naturally I have to ask Han Yan, this kid.

At this time, he was waiting aside, and Liu Che looked sideways and said, "How old is this name Dong Zhongshu?"

"About thirty years old, over thirty years old."

In his thirties? Dong Zhongshu was born in 179 BC, so that's just right!

"What is this person's identity and origin?" Liu Che asked again.

"Near Qilu, Yan and Zhao, and the west border of the Three Jins. In recent years, he has been studying and giving lectures in the capital and has been awarded the position of doctoral degree by His Majesty."

By doing this, nothing was wrong, Liu Che nodded slowly.

Dong Zhongshu's hometown is Guangchuan. In the first year of Emperor Wen of Han (179 BC), Dong Zhongshu was born in a large-scale landlord family with a large collection of books.

When Dong Zhongshu was 30 years old, he began to recruit a large number of students and taught carefully. He gave lectures and hung a curtain in the classroom. He spoke inside the curtain, and the students listened outside the curtain. At the same time, he often asked his favorite disciples, Lu Bushu and others to teach.

In this way, many people learned from him for many years, and even never met him. Through lectures, Dong Zhongshu cultivated a group of talents for the Han Dynasty. Some of his students later became prime ministers of princes and kingdoms, while others became chief officials. Because Dong Zhongshu recruited students and promoted Confucian classics, his reputation also expanded. He became a doctorate during the reign of Emperor Jing of Han and was in charge of teaching classics.

His purpose was already obvious when he came to visit Liu Che. He wanted to take the opportunity to promote his theory. When Liu Che ascended the throne in the future, he would implement his etiquette. There is no doubt about this, otherwise how did the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues come about?

People who advised Liu Che to establish the orthodox status of Confucianism appeared. Regardless of the solid and rigid Confucianism such as Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in later generations, as for the Confucianism of Dong Zhongshu, who integrated the Yin-Yang School and other schools, this was the beginning of the integration of Confucianism and the beginning of the era of Confucianism inheritance and the passage of Confucianism.

How can you not treat such an important guest well? Liu Che specially asked Sister He'er to prepare a curtain. He planned to respect Dong Zhongshu's habits and sit down to discuss it, and meet Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism for a while.

Dong Zhongshu was arranged to meet for the last time, and he was invited in when everyone in front of him left.

He was dressed in a blue dress, with a thin figure and elegant appearance. His hair crown was covered with a band of hair, and a band was connected to the crown tassel under the crown, which was tied under the jaw. Dong Zhongshu, who was in his thirties, had no distortion in his figure and his clothes were slightly wide.

When he first saw Weiyan, he was a little surprised, but immediately came to his senses, smiled at Han Yan, and sat cross-legged behind Weiyan.

"My minister Dong Zhongshu pays homage to the crown prince!"

When this sentence came to his ears, Liu Che's expression moved slightly and coughed lightly: "Mr. Dong, don't be polite. You don't need to worry about anything in this palace. Just talk about your ideas."

"I am just discussing knowledge with the prince today. The prince knows that I am used to it. When he treats it with courtesy, he should bow. Otherwise, there will be something uncomfortable in his heart, like a thorn in his throat." Dong Zhongshu smiled.

These Confucian and Taoist masters are just talking about etiquette. Liu Che said bitterly: "Someone asked me what the people's livelihood plans are, some asked me about the government's government's government's government, and some asked me how I can share the family and family. These people are not entangled in etiquette in front of me. Only Master Dong, you are always polite and you should be as gentlemanly as a gentleman, but it is not good to overdo it. Master Dong, you should let go of some obsessions!"

"A gentleman is emotional and stops etiquette. I am too careful with etiquette. The prince said so, and he received the teachings." Dong Zhongshu said seriously.

"Stop, preaching scriptures and reciting the Tao is nothing more than just a simple and straightforward way. This restraint is not like your Dong Zhongshu's style! I come to my name. I am not my father or the prince. My majesty is not against the outside but not the inside. You should know these things!" Liu Che took a sip and said helplessly.

"Hahaha, I'm going down Menglang!"

"Master Dong, you are familiar with Gongyang Chunqiu. Can you tell me a few words?" Liu Che asked.

"The reason why the yin and yang move incorrectly is used by the disasters and changes in spring and autumn is that the rain stops all yang, so it is necessary to stop all yin, and to stop all yin. If you move in a country, you will never be able to get what you want." Dong Zhongshu pondered and pondered.

"Why did the Master come to this palace?"

"In order to present the strategy of governing the country, Qi and Han govern the world with orthodox."

"What's the specific one?" Liu Che said.

Soothing the folded robe, Dong Zhongshu smiled and said, "Abolish all schools of thought and commend the Six Classics!"

"Is it the Six Confucian Classics? Does Master Dong want this palace to put Confucianism first? The order and organizational principles of the Six Confucian Classics are indeed unique, but just this is not enough, right?" Liu Che stretched and said.

In fact, Liu Che knew what theory Dong Zhongshu wanted to recommend, but he wanted to hear how this generation of people made up their own opinions.

"Together with the strengths of several families, build the essence of Confucianism! Benevolence, righteousness, Confucianism and Taoism are the main body. This is the truly effective skeleton for governing the country!" Dong Zhongshu said brightly.

But Liu Che was not satisfied. Simple boasting was not what he wanted.

He sighed in his heart, Dong Zhongshu's theory is not yet mature, it is only a skeleton, and it can withstand hammering, so how can the people in the world convince?

Liu Che, who was unwilling to give up, asked again: "According to Confucianism, Master Dong might as well explain several problems in this palace.

Why did Yu Shun be able to rule with the same emperor's way, but King Wen of Zhou was so busy that he didn't even care about eating? Why did the same punishment receive the miraculous effect of being empty and imprisoned for more than 40 years in the Zhou Dynasty, but when he arrived at the Qin people, "there were so many dead, and the punishments were looking at each other"?"

"Although Your Majesty follows the example of the previous kings, "farming and pursuing farming first, and raising up early and worrying about the people." However, the people feel that the benefits the prince gave to the people are not as real as the benefits the prince gave to the people, so these things are not understood by the people, and the reason why they do not understand is the lack of education.

If you do not attach importance to education and want to get a wise man, it is like a piece of jade, not carving it, but you hope it will shine brightly. The emperor should promote the Imperial Academy and set up a wise teacher to support the people of the world, so that you will not worry about the unattainable talents in the world. The court does not have to limit the selection of talents to the children of officials and wealthy people."

These are all discussed with others, and he had a long view, so after hearing Liu Che ask this question, Dong Zhongshu said slowly with the example of Liu Che and Emperor Jing.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Che nodded slowly. This is similar to educational institutions such as schools. First of all, we must be enlightened, otherwise it will be no different from those savages. It seems that Dong Zhongshu also has a few tricks.

This is to consolidate political unity by using ideological unity. Dong Zhongshu believes that thoughts should be unified in Confucianism represented by Confucius, and the people also know what to follow and how to do it. Only political unity can last forever. At that time, the politics of the Han Dynasty was unified, but it was unstable. The unified thought that emerged from the times became the key to great unification.

After saying goodbye to Dong Zhongshu, Liu Che was not calm.

In his opinion, although those responses to heaven and man are beneficial to governing the country, they are still too empty and can be used as a whole. Just modify them.

The gray clouds embellish the sky with deserted tones. Occasionally, geese fly by in the air. The long singing and the charcoal seller's call are intertwined, and they circulate on the weeping willow branches beside the road for a long time.
