Chapter 7 Bamboo Chronicle

"There is also the same as Pingzhou, Youzhou is located in the border area." Sima Jiwei said, "Fan Yang Kingdom and Yan Kingdom are both at the junction of Hu and Han, and the exchanges between Hu and Han are constantly prohibited. Instead of letting people communicate, it is better to control it in our hands. Many shops in the night market are opened by servants of the royal palace, which is also to collect information from the travelers. In order to know the situation of the Xianbei outside the frontier, so that it will not become a disaster for our great Jin."

Sima Ji almost believed this, and these two points are of course true, but his original intention of opening a night market was really to make money.

However, this passage made Sima Su fall into deep thought, because Sima Ji's words are so logical and there is nothing incomprehensible. Moreover, Jicheng Night Market has been open for so long, if there is any problem, it would have been closed long ago. Since it has not been closed yet, it means there is no problem.

"Does Uncle Wang know that Jie people?" Sima Ji asked without moving.

"I have never heard of Jie people! Is it a Hu people's name?" Sima Xu shook his head and asked himself that he knew Hu people, but he had never heard of such a tribe that claims to be. "Why did you think of asking this question?"

"It's nothing, I feel it. I saw a merchant selling slaves the day before yesterday." Sima Ji breathed lightly, "It has been hundreds of years since Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty. I can still see Hu people being trafficked, and I feel a little uneasy."

"What are the concerns about mere Hu people? Wherever my army in Jin was pointed, all of them were surrendered in the wind. Qing Xuan was worried too much. These gentry were quite troublesome, but I believe the court would slowly take care of it." Sima Xu waved his hand casually, thinking that Sima Ji was making a big fuss.

"What Uncle Wang taught me is that Qing Xuan was too worried. Just a Hu man, no one cared about trampling him to death. Even if they paid taxes, some gentry would be dissatisfied with fighting for them." Sima Ji held back his displeasure and raised his glass to greet him. Sima Xu was right, and he should slowly draw...

After a while of drinking, Sima Xu proposed to visit the night market, but he actually saw the night market and there was no reason to be stuck in the wine shop.

Even for Sima Su, the lively night market in Jicheng was enough to open his eyes. This feeling was not comparable to that of the day patrol of the country's territory. "I also open a street to commit crimes. Nothing should happen. Jicheng is close to the Hu people."

The next day, Sima Ji went out of the city to see him off on behalf of his father, and Sima Lu went west to Bingzhou to visit friends. The two sides made an appointment with Sima Lu to return, and the two went to Luoyang to worship together.

"Criminal, King Fanyang invites you to Luoyang, I don't know how Your Majesty will reward you." In the carriage, Qiaoxi sat behind Sima Ji, pinching his back lightly and heavyly behind him, and asked whisperingly as the carriage shook, "The age of King Fanyang and Prince does not seem to be that the people's family has so many troubles."

"Give you to him." Sima Ji turned around and stared at Qiaoxi coldly. This sentence made her silent. It took her a long time to hear, "Just kidding, I will never give anyone to anyone."

When Yao's virtue was declining, he was imprisoned by Shun. Shun imprisoned Yao in Pingyang and took the throne. Shun released Yao in Pingyang. Shun imprisoned Yao and then blocked Danzhu, so that he would not meet his father.

Sima Ji sat upright, looking at the history books in his hand with his eyes focused on it, which said that Shun initiated a coup and exiled Yao to Pingyang. This record comes from the bamboo book unearthed in the second year of Taikang.

"What a pity!" He sighed with regret. The bamboo book anniversary in Sima Ji's hand was just a handwritten copy. The real bamboo book anniversary is still in Luoyang. If you want to get a truly first-hand bamboo book anniversary, you must go to Luoyang.

Not to mention that Emperor Wu of Jin changed his reign, even if he did not change, he could not stay in Jicheng. The maid of the royal palace witnessed the scene of the prince's crazy and went back and forth in the hall. No one dared to come forward to ask, and he thought he had not seen it.

"Jin and Wei, Wei and Jin..., where is the legitimacy of the Jin Dynasty..." Sima Ji, wearing a white robe, kept muttering to himself, stopping in place from time to time, as if he wanted to seize the sudden appearance of inspiration, and the history of the two time and space kept changing in his mind.

Any dynasty needs legitimacy to unite people's hearts. Confucianism has declined since the party and corruption disaster at the end of the Han Dynasty. Cao Pi's ascendance to the throne had long been a fatal blow to Confucianism, and metaphysics began to become the mainstream of society. In the Jin Dynasty, the influence of Confucianism could not be compared with metaphysics.

The metaphysics derived from Taoism only left a stereotype for later generations like bragging and taking drugs. Such a big negative impression shows that metaphysics cannot support the role of a dynasty to unite people's hearts.

"The orthodox nature of the Great Jin Dynasty is in the Bamboo Book Anniversary." Sima Ji suddenly realized that the questions of Jin and Wei and Wei and Jin in his mind finally had an answer. For the people of the Jin Dynasty, they were generally illiterate. We must seize the three families in the Warring States Period to divide Jin and Wei into abdicating Jin to make a fuss.

A dynasty must have the means to unite people's hearts. In the game, it can be called destiny. Once destiny is gone, it will be a time of chaos in the world. Moreover, the ancient book of Bamboo Book Anniversary was re-exposed in the Jin Dynasty. It is not impossible to make an article on this point.

If no one discovered this, Sima Ji could come forward to spread it himself. Although the ancient people were illiterate, there was not a way to let the speech spread. Children's songs were a form of brainwashing the people. Otherwise, the proverbs that the king and the horse shared the world would not have been so widely circulated.

However, the most important thing is not this. It adds a little mysterious color to the division of Jin and Wei in the three families. In fact, Sima Ji doesn't need to do it himself. As long as he starts, his meaning will naturally change during the spread. Just like religion will definitely evolve many cults during the spread, some people must have far-fetchedly conspired to come up with the theory that the destiny of the Great Jin Dynasty will be the one who flattered the court.

However, this is just the first step. What Sima Ji really wants is the idea in the Bamboo Book Annals. After the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty was the orthodox record. The land of the Three Jins was the origin of the Legalists. Historical books often reflect the political values ​​of the country itself. For example, "Bamboo Book Annals" is a chronological general history written by historians of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period and historians of Wei in the Warring States Period. The style of historians of historians of historians of the Kingdom of Warring States Period. Of course, the style of historians of historians of the Legalists.

The Legalists are Sima Ji's real purpose, and the bamboo book annals combine the times, from the division of Jin from the three families to the abdication of Jin in Wei, it is very mysterious. Under this mysterious color, it can bring Sima Ji a protective color and allow him to achieve his real purpose. Both are indispensable, so that the idea of ​​uniting people's hearts can be formed.

Metaphysics was born from Taoism, but from the later history, it could not solve many problems in China. History gave Metaphysics hundreds of years, but Metaphysics did not deliver a satisfactory answer. He felt that there was great potential for taking the Bamboo Years as the starting point.

"If Confucian scholars and metaphysicists come out to oppose it, don't think that only Qin Shihuang would burn books and bury scholars. I know everything about how to suppress the intellectual class in all dynasties. It's hard for you to die if you fall into my hands..."

The more I thought about it, the more it makes sense. Sima Ji felt that in the 16 years of the Jin Dynasty, I had only had a little peace today. The most important thing is that the aristocratic family, metaphysics, or Confucian scholars, should no longer have people who study the Legalist ideas. This is very good. As long as he can get the Legalists backdoor listing, he will naturally be able to eliminate the aristocratic family from the beginning. It is too late to wait until the aristocratic family reacts.
