Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The Long Live Hall is more magnificent, but in terms of exquisite and gorgeous decoration, it is indeed the Zide Hall. However, Guo Shao didn't understand much, and he didn't have the time to study these things carefully... The Imperial City of Tokyo belongs to him, but he really didn't observe it carefully in the past few years after he became the throne. This kind of feeling is like a person who has got rich, and his house is full of expensive things, but he has never paid attention to why those things are so expensive.

Guo Shao walked into Zide Hall and felt that it looked good, so he rushed to meet Fu Jinzhan. Now there seems to be a lot of rumors in the imperial city, and Guo Shao came to say hello to Empress Duanci, which is also an attitude.

Walking into a palace, several women and attendants saluted one after another, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Guo Shao saw that there was Concubine Du among the people in the Jinxiang Palace, it was not surprising that Concubine Du was the sister of Du Chenggui, the commander of the Inner Palace, she had already joined Jinzhan, and she was usually very close. But the imperial concubine Zhang was also present, which surprised Guo Shao... Zhang originally lived in the Wanfu Palace, and later lived in the Sanqing Palace. She was a court lady who had been marginalized earlier; but now her nephew is more powerful, Cao Bin, the governor of the Five Armies.

Guo Shao bowed his hand and returned the salute to Mrs. Zhang, because she had a relatively high status and exchanged greetings with Fu Jinzhan.

At this moment, Concubine Du said softly with interest: "I have been waiting to bother Empress Duanci for a long time, so I asked for an order to leave."

Unexpectedly, on Jinzhan's glamorous face, his eyes were crooked with a smile, "Your Majesty has just arrived, so you stay and talk."

Concubine Du was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Yes."

Guo Shao didn't know why, so he sat down on a soft couch, with a coffee table next to him and a golden cup sitting on it, the two were of the same generation, and they were sitting on an equal footing at this time.

A young woman wearing a purple round neck and a hood came over, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is coal burning in the room. I will serve you by taking off your coat first. It will be hot later."

"Okay." Guo Shao asked her to take off the sweater coat he brought back from the Hebei front.

Mrs. Zhang said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people, but he himself is very frugal. It is really a blessing for the people."

"Heh!" Guo Shao didn't know what to say to Mrs. Zhang in front of Jinzhan. However, none of the women present was simple. Hearing Mrs. Zhang's words, they could tell at a glance that the fur coat Guo Shao was wearing was cheap!

However, he has no interest at all in dressing high or low. Does Guo Shao still need anything external to highlight his value?

It's really strange, Guo Shao thinks that he is the emperor, and now he has great power in his hands, but he feels a little reserved in front of these women. He deliberately avoided Jinzhan's plump upper body and beautiful body lines, for fear of being spotted by these women.

At this time, Jinzhan said in a soothing voice: "And your majesty is benevolent. Fu Zhaoxu was in Xiongzhou and wrote to the palace saying that the Liao people burned, killed and looted the people of Hebei. Now His Majesty has captured the Liao people of Youzhou. He thought he would slaughter them in revenge, but unexpectedly, he did not kill them."

Guo Shaodao: "Rule of benevolence refers to the country, and not massacring|killing civilians of foreign ethnic groups has nothing to do with benevolent rule."

"Oh?" Fu Jinzhan looked at him with interest.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, and said: "I am an enemy of the Liao Kingdom, so I am not afraid of forging a blood feud with the Liao people. But my dynasty and the descendants of the Han family, not only the Khitan people.

It is understandable for our country to attack and kill for the benefit of its own people; but to promote massacre | killing | ethnic groups will not only be feared by all ethnic groups around, but also the Han family will be demon | Strong and weak don't care about clamoring, but about strength. "

Jinzhan's eyes were bright, he nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "What is Your Majesty busy with these days?"

One sentence made the women around pay attention and listened attentively.

Of course Guo Shao would not say: I am busy changing the dynasty. He pondered for a moment and said: "Empress Duanci came into power a few months ago and sent people to obtain ships from the big cannibals. I am trying to formulate a strategy to not only allow the big cannibals to communicate with each other, but also prohibit them from leaving the port to contact the government and the people.

This time, not only did I get shipbuilding techniques and nautical charts, but I also got a book by Aristotle, which is very interesting... This man is a Greek who lived thousands of years ago. "

Jinzhan said: "It turns out that there are countries in the distance. He wrote a book a thousand years ago, isn't he a sage like Confucius and Mencius?"

Guo Shaodao: "For Westerners, they are indeed sages and sages. I am looking for someone to translate it out. Let's take a look first. For the time being, hand-copied printing is prohibited. It cannot be published. It must be revised before printing."

Jinzhan couldn't help laughing and said: "Could it be that your majesty has become a great Confucian and thinks that the books of the sages are also wrong?"

Guo Shao shook his head and said, "How can things in the world be judged by right and wrong? If this is the spontaneous thinking of the Han family, no matter whether it is right or wrong, there is no need to control it too much. I can't burn books and confuse scholars, and I can't do such things.

But it is a product of a completely different foreign land. If people are not careful, it may cause confusion in the beliefs of scholars in the long run. In the end, they do not know what to believe, and it is difficult for people to believe nothing. "

Guo Shao fully believed in the comprehension ability of the world. He could write things such as the Book of Changes that even he could not understand. We should not underestimate the ability of the ancient wise men.

Jinzhan asked curiously, "How powerful is a book? If it is translated, let me see it too."

Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "Yes, it is indeed not simple. Because I have written too many things about the origin of things (philosophy), and I have a complete set of understanding. According to my observation, his remarks are opposite to the understanding of the Han family sages.

It's fine if you talk wildly and nonsense, and you can't convince people anyway, but these sages' sayings are complete and systematic, and there will always be people who will believe them. Swallowing jujubes rashly, if there is chaos at that time, and there is no perfect theoretical system to replace it, how can we govern the country?

When we are puzzled by foreign things, we must be on guard. Therefore, it is out of this concern that I strictly forbid big cannibals to leave the harbor. The big cannibals are not the same as the Han family in terms of their original thinking. If we don't understand, how do we know if there will be serious consequences? "

When Guo Shao said these words, the women around couldn't understand them at all. Although he spoke in official Chinese, they could only listen in awe.

Of the women in this world, probably only Jinzhan can understand what Guo Shao is saying.

Although Guo Shao was enthroned as emperor, he found that governing the country is not easy... Perhaps ordinary emperors only need to follow the traditional experience. But his independent thinking method is very complicated, and even ancient philosophy has to find a way to understand. At the very least, you must know what the various theories are about, otherwise you may only be fooled by the scholar-bureaucrats, and the emperor himself does not understand anyway. \u003c
