Chapter 114 Young Son of Heaven
Chapter 114 Young Son of Heaven
[In the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched Confucianism, not because he found that Confucianism was suitable for his own rule, but because he simply opposed his emperor's grandmother and others, and did the opposite. 】
【Promote your own philosophy of governing the country. 】
[At that time, only Mohism, Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism were prominent schools, and other theories such as Yin-Yang School had withered. 】
[The legalist theory has already been proved by Daqin, so it is completely incomprehensible. 】
【The Mohists can’t be adopted, they have no rulers, and they can’t be disciplined. Not only can’t they be reused, but they have to be hit hard. In this way, only Confucianism is left! 】
[Although Confucianism was not valued in the Qin Dynasty, there were many Confucian scholars and had great influence among the people. 】
[It is only natural that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could use Confucianism to fight Huang Lao's art. 】
[Because of this, countless Confucian scholars discovered a new life, and they gathered around Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty one after another. 】
[The battle between Liu Che and the imperial grandmother did not end until the death of Empress Dowager Dou in the sixth year of Jianyuan (135 BC). 】
[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the lead in promulgating the Tweet Order proposed by the minister Zhu Fuyan. 】
[I have already said before that the so-called "tweeting order" is an enhanced version of Jia Yi's "all build princes with weak power", and it was not invented by him at all. 】
[Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty slashed the vassals and quelled the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. He did not abolish the princes and kings, but replaced those kings surnamed Liu who were far from him with his own sons. 】
[At this time, what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was facing was to cut down the vassals and reduce their power to his brothers. 】
[Liu Che adopted Zhu Fuyan's suggestion and implemented the "tweeting order". 】
[Actually, the Tweet Order is not omnipotent. The main reason is that the army of the Han Dynasty is strong now. It was able to quell the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms during the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. 】
[They can't resist the imperial court, they can only be forced to accept it, at least they can save their lives. 】
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but nodded.
"Later generations have always said that the Tweet Order is an unsolvable conspiracy. This is really a big mistake."
"If the imperial court is not strong and the monarch is a puppet, if he wants to implement 'tweeting grace', the following princes will first push away his life."
"If the Tweeting Order is really a panacea, then the separatist rule of the Tang Dynasty will not be solved easily?"
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di smiled slightly.
"This matter is the most convincing for me."
"If my nephew Zhu Yunwen had implemented the Tweet Order, would he have rejected my life, or had I rejected his life?"
Everyone couldn't help but nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him fiercely. Although he had long since lost any resentment towards Zhu Di for robbing his eldest grandson of his country, he couldn't help being a little annoyed to see that he was complacent about it.
[The feudal lords of the Western Han Dynasty did not really disappear until Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, implemented the Tweeting Order. When the feudal kingdom was mentioned later, it was just like a county. 】
[Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to promote Confucianism, Dong Zhongshu defected here, and he actually proposed the policy of "removing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone". 】
[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has already realized that Confucianism has a great effect on his autocratic rule at this time, and he readily agrees. 】
[This has since opened the dominant position of Confucianism in feudal society for more than 2000 years. 】
【The art of Confucianism can be greatly developed, but it is a devastating blow to other thoughts and academics, completely imprisoning people's souls. 】
[From now on, everyone will stop thinking, and any thoughts can only be circulated in Confucianism. 】
[The situation of "a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend" in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods has never appeared again. 】
[And our entire history is reincarnated again and again. It was not until 2000 years later that the strong ships and guns of the western barbarians opened our country, and we were rejuvenated. 】
Zeng Juxian couldn't help sighing.
The audience of later generations also felt a little heavy in their hearts.
That period of history is really unbearable.
[Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty admired Confucianism, he also used Legalism. 】
[Using Confucianism to embody softness and punishment to embody authority have formed the ruling concept of Confucianism outside and law inside. This measure has been implemented throughout the entire feudal society. 】
[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created many firsts in history. 】
[He was the first to use the year name, and the emperors of all dynasties have followed it down. 】
[Some emperors have to change several or more than ten years in their lifetime, and some emperors only have one in their lifetime. 】
[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also the first emperor to implement the official management of salt and iron tea. 】
[The Qin Dynasty died in a hurry. The Western Han Dynasty had been resting and recuperating for more than 60 years. The imperial court did not have a strong control over the world, but the power of salt, iron, and casting money was controlled by princes and kings or wealthy merchants. 】
[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first deprived private individuals of the right to mint money, stipulating that only the imperial court could mint money, which not only greatly enhanced the prestige of the imperial court, but also greatly increased the fiscal revenue of the imperial court. 】
[The addition of salt, iron, and tea to the imperial court's monopoly increased the national power of the Western Han Dynasty several times. 】
[And this also provides a model for all dynasties in later generations, which will be fully adopted by all empires in the future and have gained huge benefits. 】
[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty founded Taixue and became the highest institution of learning.This has also become a custom for all dynasties in the future. 】
[And he founded Xiangxue, established the system of promoting talents, and formed a unique civil service system. 】
[The subsequent nine-rank Zhongzheng system, as well as the imperial examination system starting from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all gradually developed and improved from his meritocracy system. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a profound impact on our history. 】
Tang Taizong nodded.
"The descendants of us almost all inherit the legacy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The "inspector" also originated in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and formed the state herdsmen in the Eastern Han Dynasty."
Tang Gaozong said: "Shangshutai was also first created by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It has been developed for hundreds of years, and our descendants have formed Shangshu Province."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion.
"Except for the first emperor, almost the various pioneering contributions left to us by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are the greatest."
"We improved their various inventions a little, and became the emperor easily, but we never imagined how they racked their brains when they formulated various rules and regulations."
[When the country had completely settled down, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set his sights on the Huns on the grassland. 】
[The majestic man, even a man with a little blood, can't bear to humiliate a prairie nation. 】
[Although the Han Dynasty had reached its peak at this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still relatively cautious, and took the lead in sending Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to contact the Yuezhi, Wusun and other countries to jointly fight against the Xiongnu. 】
[And Zhang Qian has been away for more than ten years, and there is no news at all. 】
[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waited anxiously and decided not to wait any longer.The big man is one-on-one, challenging the Xiongnu hard. 】
[He is the first emperor in history to propose that the northern nomads submit to the Central Plains Dynasty! 】
[This feat alone is enough to make his name immortal in history! 】
