Chapter six hundred and twelve bait fishing
"Why are you so anxious?" Yang Xianrong waved his hand to greet the palace maids outside, took the text to the emperor's bedroom and stamped the seal, and then said, "Since we came to the capital, we will not do anything except substitute people and issue political decrees."
"Why is this king not in a hurry? I am over thirty years old and I don't know whether it is close to birth or death now, but I still have many things planned." Sima Ji said, and what he said was a complete truth. The average life expectancy of the ancients was that he was in his thirties now, which means that he was close to the average life expectancy of the ancients. Who knows what will happen in the future? If you don't take advantage of some important plans, hurry up now, and who knows if there is still time in the future.
"Why do you always say such words? I see that King Yan is in the prime of his life." Yang Xianrong was startled. She didn't want Sima Ji's words to become reality. Now she is very satisfied with her position as a queen. If Sima Ji is gone, who knows if the vassal king who controls the world will be so good to her if he changes one? Besides, Yang Xianrong has no children yet and is always controlled by others.
What if the next successor of King Yan inherits the situation and feels that he is not satisfied with establishing the Ba Mansion and wants to be the emperor, what will her fate be in the future? Thinking of this Yang Xianrong, she doesn't care about the anger just now, she is kind to Sima Ji, "What if the King Yan goes, what will I do?"
"The Central Palace is a teenager younger than me. What are you afraid of? Look, isn't the Central Palace just talking about feelings with me now?" Sima Ji grabbed Yang Xianrong's words and said smugly, "It can be seen that I am not wrong."
"Yes, I'm talking about feelings with the King of Yan." Yang Xianrong advised him with kind words, but he didn't even flatter the emperor so much. At this time, he was like this in front of a vassal king. "You should also come and see my concubine. The palace is so lonely. Don't you feel cruel if you let me do it alone every day."
"The royal family is watching, why did I do it? If I am discovered, this matter can be big or small, and there will be endless troubles." Sima Ji looked like you can't blame me. If he had the chance, would he not want to enter the palace? He has all the dark mentality of a man. He understands the truth that it is better to steal than anyone else.
But now he really has many things more important than sleeping in the queen when he enters the palace, and no one understands this urgent mood.
"I came here today and discussed something with the Central Palace. I have decided to adjust the students in the capital, otherwise they will always feel uncomfortable for me." Sima Ji comforted Yang Xianrong and then talked about the main business.
"Is it because the leaders of the four Xianbei tribes were named king?" Yang Xianrong nodded clearly and opened his red lips lightly and said, "They are just unarmed students. Are you too cautious about what threats they can pose to you?"
"I am not cautious at all. The heroes violate the ban with martial arts, and the Confucians use literature to disrupt the law. I prefer the Legalists and understand more than anyone else what the consequences will bring about these students who are ignorant of the world. I will first educate them with national conditions, and then be pillars. This is also a good deed." Sima Ji leaned tiredly against the side of the bed and said leisurely, "It is for their own good to beat them. A filial son is born under the stick. Not to mention just a group of students, even if I am a parent-child, I cannot do this. Anyway, I have some sons, so I can't change it at worst."
Sima Ji is absolutely merciless in this kind of thing. He doesn't have many descendants. He probably has thirty births now, and his names are almost impossible to get up. The result of this mass production is that he does not pay attention to his descendants. It is good that he can achieve something, but if he cannot, he will give in quickly. Some people are waiting behind him.
He knew that the group of students was always used to cause trouble in later generations. If there was something wrong, they would immediately deal with it. For the future of feudal imperialism, it was necessary to take ruthless measures.
Killing some people to save most people is indeed cruel, but in ancient society there is nothing wrong with it. It is also based on this logic that Sima Ji felt that killing Southeast Asia was also doing good deeds. First, it was in line with his civil war and second, killing these Southeast Asian indigenous peoples, so in the future, these small countries appeared in the face of a China that could never be defeated. The King of Yan was clearly helping the descendants of these indigenous people solve the troubles that had troubled their lives. Isn’t this doing good deeds?
You say that the people of Southeast Asian countries in later generations are getting angry. They watch the northern neighbors become stronger and stronger every day, and are worried that their country will become puppets, but their country is not able to resist and scold China every day. The Chinese cannot hear it, and they are full of anger. Now the army will be solved in the south. If their ancestors are lucky, they might survive and become part of my Great Jin. Besides, except for the Khmers, no one is a loser who fled south from ancient Chinese territory. Maybe the Khmers are all. The war started in ancient times, but now it is just a thousand years since the war started again. The essence is a civil war. Can't you chase and kill the losers?
Sima Jidu has protected the nations in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he will not be in charge of Ningzhou further south.
"Only the Legalists can slightly reflect the equal treatment of all things. The local tribes south of Ningzhou all believe in a sect called Brahmins. This sect is not very popular and must be destroyed during the war. On the other hand, only if the Legalists dominate the Great Jin Dynasty, there is no room for such a sect to live." Sima Ji explained the logical relationship and whispered, "It is still useful to educate the people in Confucianism and metaphysics. It is best to govern the country according to law."
"This recruitment order means that talents from all over the world are attracted to the capital, and then they watch Legal students become the mainstream of the court." Yang Xianrong looked thoughtful, "Can you still do this?"
"Isn't this just fishing law enforcement? As long as I reveal a little about the meaning of the Legalists, someone will definitely come out to protest. I will wait for them to show up again." Sima Ji spread his hands, not concealing his shameless operations at all.
Establishing the Legalists as the leader is equivalent to letting the students of Imperial College stand aside, and these students will definitely come out to oppose it. At that time, we will take the opportunity to debate and openly strengthen the Legalists. This is also something that must be done before the Nanzheng Dynasty.
"When then, will I come forward with the emperor to witness? Will the kings come forward together?" Yang Xianrong asked suspiciously. When she saw Sima Ji nodding, she understood that Sima Ji wanted to exclude both Confucianism and metaphysics from the mainstream position in the court. If it succeeds, it will be as he said. In the future, Confucianism will be a doctrine used to cultivate personal ethics.
What's wrong with this? Sima Ji learned ideological and moral courses well when he was in elementary school in his previous life. In his opinion, the most suitable thing for Confucianism is to improve personal ethics, but no matter how good personal ethics is, it cannot replace the law.
"When you ask the emperor and the central palace to witness, there are also royal kings. I believe no one dares to dissatisfie." Sima Ji explained his thoughts, how to make the students of the Imperial College of the Imperial College dissatisfied, and then criticize the King of Yan, and then when will they be prepared to attack, and to defeat these students and their theories, they can clearly state it.
People like Sima Ji, if others don’t mess with him, they have to find a way to make trouble, not to mention that these students made him uncomfortable this time. That is, the leaders of the four Xianbei tribes were still there, so he thought that family shame should not be made public. Now that they have left the capital, why are you polite? It takes some time to prepare and make others forget the relationship between the students of the Imperial College and the Xianbei leaders’ title of kings, it is time to take action.
As the order for recruitment was officially issued by the Secretariat, it was posted in various states and county gates. Because the literati who had avoided everywhere in wars before, they also saw the emperor's order for recruitment. This was not the first time that the order for recruitment had appeared in history. Cao Cao had used this trick a hundred years ago. The scholars from all over the country thought that this was their chance to show their heroic path, so they set off one after another to rush to the capital.
In fact, the world was indeed becoming more peaceful as they judged. After joining two vassal kings, one of the imperial guards' army, the rebels in the Jiangnan rebellion immediately realized the limitations of peasant uprisings. Before, only the vassal kings in the Central Plains were fighting civil wars with all their might. Sima Yi, the only king of Changsha who was concerned about the Zhangchang rebellion in Jiangnan, had enough troops in his hand, which gave these riots a chance to grow.
Now that the Central Plains War has stopped, Sima Ji, who has freed up his hands, can no longer tolerate the war in Jiangnan. After being supplemented by the imperial guards going south to Luoyang, the Jin army naturally changed its previous decline and began to pursue and attack the rioters distributed in various states. Xuzhou and Yuzhou have been completely wiped out, and order has been restored to the territory.
Only rebels in Jingzhou and Yangzhou were left to rebel, but they were no longer as powerful as before. I believe it was only a matter of time to be pacified. At least the recent receipt of Sima Ji was almost dislocated.
The prefectures and counties that were close to the capital, the talented scholars had arrived in the capital. They either felt that they were trying their luck or had the illusion of being talented. However, for these people, Sima Ji still asked someone to arrange receptions and entertained them with no worries about food and clothing, which felt like they were raising guests during the Warring States Period.
As such scholars arrived one after another, Sima Ji also understood that the time he had prepared to fish and enforce the law was getting closer and closer. It was a rare opportunity to let these scholars become witnesses and witness the major events of history happening in front of them. Using Legalism instead of metaphysics, Confucianism is actually not a big rebellion.
The rise of metaphysics was itself because of the usurpation of the throne in the Han Dynasty. This was the Cao family, and it had nothing to do with the Sima family. Metaphysics began to have an influence when the Cao family usurped the throne. Because of the Confucian standards, it was impossible to explain why the rituals and music collapsed in the late Han Dynasty. Since metaphysics could come into being, Sima Ji felt that the resurrection of the Legalists was completely reasonable.
