Chapter 3764: Respective positions
The banquet will only end when the moon is in the middle of the sky. The group of people left by car one after another, Chen Xi walked back with a groggy smell of wine.
After all, after Fanliang toasted the glass of wine, some people came one after another and offered Chen Xi a glass of wine. Again, those who can come with a glass of wine know that Chen Xi can drink, so Chen Xi drank some Faint, and all year round, it is uncomfortable to be too awake.
"Zichuan, the road is difficult, isn't it." When Chen Xi was about to climb onto her frame to go home, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to support Chen Xi and said, and the attendant who was accompanying him naturally poured Chen Xi from the warm silver pot on the side. A bowl of hot milk.
"At least it's not easy to go." Chen Xi sighed, blew the warm milk, and said in a few big mouthfuls, "I was not actually drunk, I just wanted to be drunk."
"I want to lead everyone in the right direction, but I find that the further behind, the more difficult it is to achieve this goal." Chen Xi said a little embarrassingly, "It is a matter of political stance and concept."
The image of the same person in different populations is completely different. As far as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is concerned, it is only for the extermination of the Huns. Sima Qian, Ban Gu, and Sima Guang are in the historical records, Han Shu, and Zi Zhi Tong Jian. The evaluations are completely different.
Everyone knew about the contradiction between Sima Qian and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Sima Qian recognized the merits of Emperor Wu.
The Huns’ biographies finally gave Yu Sima Qian’s evaluation: "Although Yao is virtuous, he can't succeed in his career, he won Yu and Jiuzhou Ning. And if he wants to prosper the Holy Order, he can only choose one's position!

To put it simply, Sima Qian believed that it was imperative to conquer the Huns, but Sima Qian believed that the conquest of the Huns caused the domestic people's livelihood to decline. It was purely because the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not find a good prime minister. Fighting the Huns was a national matter and must be fought. But if the people's livelihood in the country is declining, you have to take the blame.
By the time of Ban Gu Han Shu, it would be completely different to record the Emperor Wu with the attitude of descendants of the Han Dynasty. The evaluation was so high that there were no friends. As for the fight against the Xiongnu, it was even more necessary to fight.
However, after Sima Guangxiu's Zizhi Tongjian, it is not the case at all, "filial piety and extravagance, heavy torture, extravagant palaces, foreign affairs. Believe in gods and monsters, travel indefinitely. It makes the people tired. He started as a thief, and his reason is almost different from Qin Shihuang."
The three evaluations of the three people are all genuine, and they are all things that have happened in history, but the evaluations of the three are completely different.
Chen Xi knew this before. The so-called Six Classics Annotated me, I'm nothing more than this.
Sima Qian’s position is from the standpoint of a normal person, and he has witnessed the prosperity of Wenjing and the hegemony of Han Wu, so he gave a reasonable evaluation, while Ban Gu stood in the lower part of history, knowing exactly what Emperor Wu had played after giving it. Of spirit.
Just like the Korean War, even if it suffered heavy losses, it allowed China to truly stand in the corner of the world, rather than being recognized as a puppet to support it.
Therefore, Ban Gu's evaluation is beyond imagination, and this kind of spirit has always affected future generations. Both the lone Han will be forced to perish, and after the Han has died, there will be Han in troubled times.
This was not a simple empire, but a spine into the spirit, so Ban Gu gave Emperor Wu a high evaluation in the annals of history.
By the time Sima Guangzi ruled, it became another situation. Sima Guang was essentially opposed to foreign wars, so he dismissed the Han Dynasty's conquest of the Xiongnu. In addition, there was the Song Dynasty, which is basically difficult to be unified. As for forging ahead, it's even more a joke.
The simplest example is the Qin Dynasty, the first unified dynasty, with a total area of 3.4 million square kilometers. The two Jins were always used as the background board. During the victory of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were 5.43 million square kilometers. The Northern Song Dynasty 2.8 million square kilometers, even the Qin Dynasty unification period did not occupy the entire territory, so the Song Dynasty always has the meaning of being refuted.
Naturally, Sima Guang clearly expressed his political thoughts in the Zizhi Tongjian. Foreign wars are absolutely undesirable. Even the most brutal Wudi fought in foreign wars is the result. You think you are worthy of peace. Does Emperor Wu compare?
Although from a certain point of view, Sima Guang’s writing in the annals of history is also a personal talent, and from a comparative point of view, he really praised Emperor Wu, but the object of comparison is too rubbish, so a little cursing, but Sima Guang’s meaning is clear. , Emperor Wu is like that, you can’t have a Gaoliang River donkey cart race like your ancestor Zhao Guangyi...
This is a bit insulting, but it is essentially the same, but in any case, Sima Guang wrote that Emperor Wu was more of a challenge to Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty and pressured Wang Anshi. It was just that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was too rubbish. Sima Guang, in order to show the bad situation of the foreign war, Highlight certain aspects.
As a result, it looks like Emperor Black Wu, but the essence is to persuade Shenzong not to play with that lunatic Wang Anshi. He is the good minister who is worried about the Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi is a very stubborn brain-disabled who doesn't understand anything.
Chen Xi has read these three historical annals. Although Zizhi Tongjian has not finished reading, and Hanshu only read the interesting chapters, but because it involves the Wudi that Chen Xi is interested in, Chen Xi has read it carefully, so it is clear that once it is involved In terms of position and politics, many things will be distorted.
As the family grows, its position will gradually change. This is inevitable, and for a collective, it is almost inevitable.
"Are you regretting your choice?" Liu Bei and Chen Xi asked with faint smiles after entering the frame, "You must know that half of the current situation is due to your own efforts. If you think there is a problem, first The one you are looking for is actually you."
"I have never regretted this choice. In fact, even if I do it again, I will choose to drive the major families out of the country and make them become military nobles." Chen Xi said seriously, "I just chose this path. I clearly realized the difficulty of this road."
"You can't shelter them under the wings forever, and you are not their father." Liu Bei's tone was very calm. "You have paved the way for them, and they are on the way. Then they should go by themselves. Up."
"That's the case." Chen Xi sighed a bit, "But if we want both parties to develop faster, I must combine the resources of the family. Although I have never actively suppressed the major families from the beginning, When my policy is in operation, it is constantly squeezing the share of the major families, making them gradually weaker as they grow."
Liu Bei nodded. He knew this. Chen Xi basically didn't show his intentions of suppressing the major families. But since Chen Xi was in charge, the aristocratic family was becoming stronger and weaker for the country as a whole. In this way, the major families still have a lot of resources that Chen Xi needs, and these resources are currently completely absent from other classes.
"I have to get something that was once exclusive to certain families in order to solve the problem, and the major families are not stupid, even my silent father-in-law understands my true pursuit in the next stage. "Chen Xi sighed, "I don't know if I let them go, or if they are exchanging interests with me."
"I hope it is the former, because the former means that I will be able to control the general situation in the future, but in the latter case, sooner or later, the major families will cut off my rein that binds them." Chen Xi said quietly, "I can The benefits given are also capped."
"You are thinking too far, even if you are planning ahead, this is something that will happen more than ten years or even decades later, and there are some contradictions, because the relationship of power is not a contradiction at all, and more than ten years, dozens of years. Years have passed, with a change of generation, certain ways of thinking will also change." Liu Bei is not very satisfied with Chen Xi's assumptions.
"There is indeed the possibility of the latter. In that case, to a certain extent, it is more in the interests of both parties." Chen Xi nodded, looked out the window, did not look at Liu Bei, because he knew the possibility of that kind of thing. Not big.
As far as the roads currently tried by the major families, various political systems and various management methods, although Chen Xi originally meant to use the major families as a testing ground, the major families are more involved than Chen Xi imagined. excellent.
Liu Bei patted Chen Xi on the shoulder, "Let's see, even if you really can't control it, don't you still have my clan who needs to protect the interests of the royal family? At that time, I convinced them that when the benefits are not enough to seduce them , It’s time for power to play."
"It's barbaric, it's barbaric." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Only a savage body can carry a noble spirit. This is what you said." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi calmly, Chen Xi was dumb, and then nodded.
"That's right, no matter how beautiful ideas and noble spirits are, you need a savage enough body to execute." Chen Xi nodded, "Forget it, even if the curse is buried at that time, it depends on their own ability. "
"Sometimes you think too far, even if you really get out of control? Central Plains is not still Central Plains, and it is much better than before." Liu Bei persuaded Chen Xi to say.
Chen Xi nodded, he knew why he thought so far, because he knew that as far as the empire of the Central Plains was concerned, there were not many times when there were such opportunities, and as long as one generation succeeded, the emperor's career continued for four hundred years, even if the period started. Ups and downs, as the years go by, these ruled places will be completely assimilated by the Han Dynasty and many aristocratic families.
Therefore, Chen Xi wants to do better, even if he has done very well, but in this matter there is essentially no limit. He actively wants to take all the people in the Central Plains and the major families to do more. It’s a pity that their respective positions do not completely overlap.
