Emperor Shengyuan wanted to use Confucianism to govern the country. First, he saw that its benevolence thought was a technique of obeying the people and controlling the people; second, he saw that its three principles and five constants would make his subjects loyal to the monarch and avoid committing chaos. However, it was compiled and summarized by Xu Guangzhi, but the clan etiquette was placed above the national law, that is, the monarch and ministers were established after the father and son, and the husband and wife.
It is the same three principles, the order is slightly changed, and the meaning is very different. As the emperor said, his policy theory advocated and consolidated patriarchal power, not monarchical power; it strengthened the concept of clan, not the idea of loyalty to the country. In a short period of time, the people's clan concept has been strengthened, and they will naturally walk in peace and conscientiousness. However, as time goes by, I only know that I have a family, but I don't know that I have a country. If faced with family troubles and national disasters, it is natural to protect the small family and abandon the state.
After all, it doesn't matter to them who is the emperor, they can still live their lives. Just like a soldier who defected and returned home and served his parents, Confucius praised his filial piety, instead of punishing him, he tried to praise him.
Several great families in the past stirred up the situation in the Central Plains, led wars to the princes, and planned riots. As long as the family always existed and the power continued to expand, they did not care who the person on the throne was, and even a little unwillingness could turn the world upside down and turn the world upside down.
What is the suffering of the people? What if the common people are in trouble? They only have the word "clan" in their hearts, how could they lower their high heads to see the commoners crawling at their feet? No, maybe they once lowered their eyes and looked at it carefully, otherwise how could they have created words such as "ants"
Emperor Sheng Yuan, who was once one of the ants, hated the rotten and insensitive family, so how could he allow them to revive? He picked up Xu Guangzhi's article and glanced at it for a second, before throwing it into the brazier expressionlessly and burning it to ashes.
Several ministers lowered their eyes and did not dare to look more, lest the fire accidentally burn themselves.
The era of the aristocratic family has passed, apart from the fact that it is gradually declining and falling apart, I am afraid that it will be difficult to regain its former glory and glory. Xu Guangzhi is clearly a smart man, but he chooses to attach himself to the family and tries to enter an official position. Don't you see that the emperor's recent promotions are all underprivileged students, and all those who suppress are the children of aristocratic families
Everyone was confused and secretly fearful, but Old Master Guan and Father Guan were calm, and the old god was there. Although they also came from an aristocratic family, they were not from an aristocratic family. They had expectations for fame and fortune, but they valued personal cultivation and ideas in their hearts. As long as the children in the family read well and studied well, there is nothing to worry about.
No, it's too good to study, but it's more worrying! Thinking of this, the two secretly glanced at the manuscript placed by the emperor's hand, wondering how to deal with it. Yiyi's nickname was Lay Master Lingyun, but she abandoned it and took a new "reverse hostel". It can be seen that she doesn't want to reveal her identity, so they must cover up for her.
The father and son looked at each other and understood.
How could Emperor Shengyuan not discover the eyebrow-eye lawsuit of the two Taishan adults, he laughed secretly, and then he picked up the manuscript and said slowly, "Emperor, how does the handwriting of this hostel man compare to yours? Although I am clumsy, I can Hearing the sound of cracking silk and gold, and aware of the unstoppable trend, there is even a arrogant and arrogant expression on the paper, which is a rare good word in the world, right?"
Father Guan hurriedly lowered his head to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, and Father Guan was already highly praised and highly praised, "Where is the emperor's clumsy eyes? , not only the skeleton is correct, but also has a graceful charm, it is a masterpiece that Weichen has only seen in his life! Weichen's handwriting can be compared with others, but he never dares to show ugliness in front of Shiren."
Unexpectedly, Su Ri's humble and polite imperial teacher praised his granddaughter for being so tireless. Emperor Shengyuan coughed repeatedly and laughed secretly. He remembered the scene of his wife chopping melons with bare hands, and then watching the two Taishans, he felt that everyone in the family was Both cute and more respectable.
After the old man finished his round of praise and stopped to drink tea, Emperor Shengyuan continued to ask, "I have heard from the emperor that your precious granddaughter is also a master of calligraphy. How does it compare with this villain?"
The old man Guan shook his beard and seemed a little embarrassed. After a while, he said, "Back to the emperor, the two should be in the middle."
"Oh?" Emperor Shengyuan laughed, "Then I will ask for a masterpiece of the lady someday, and ask the teacher to help me with a message."
The old man's cheeks were flushed, and there was suffering. Guan's father looked at his nose and nose and his heart, pretending to be an outsider.
After teasing the serious and rigid imperial teacher, Emperor Shengyuan felt very happy, shook the manuscript, and continued, "After the appreciation of calligraphy, let's appreciate the text again. I guess this villain should be a miscellaneous scholar, although she mentions it everywhere between the lines. The laws of the country seem to be legalists; they know the essentials of Confucianism in great detail, and they can use them at their fingertips. The sentences and allusions quoted are not available to Confucian scholars who have been immersed in Confucianism for decades, and they seem to be Confucian; Thoroughly, he summed up the trajectory of historical development, and he is like a historian, and he is really a rare all-rounder!"
After the embarrassment dissipated, the old man nodded again and again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was enjoying it. Guan Fu and several ministers occasionally echoed, but did not show any strangeness.
Emperor Sheng Yuan fondly touched the manuscript and sighed, "I want to invite this villain to the palace for an interview. If I can persuade her to enter the office, or stay by my side and make plans for me, it will be a great blessing in life! Glancing at the instant stiff face of the old man, he smiled and reassured, "Of course, I will never treat the emperor coldly for her. There is a saying in the Central Plains that 'one day is a teacher and a lifetime is a father'. His teaching is comparable to that of your father." In fact, his father had never looked at him, let alone raising him? What Emperor Shihe Taichang has done for him is far more than Junfu, and he will never forget it in this life.
Grandpa Guan didn't laugh or cry, his old face was wrinkled like dried orange peel.
Emperor Shengyuan just gave up and waved his hand pretending to be regretful, "Unfortunately, I sent many people to inquire, but no clues were found. It can be seen that this Shiren has no idea of entering the office. Then let her be free and live freely. Right. Master, I have one last question, what do you mean by the word 'reverse hostel'?"
Guan Laozi breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "Reverse travel means a guest house and a hotel. The second year of Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong said: 'Today Guo is not a Taoist, and it is protected from a reverse travel". Sheren has two meanings, one is a hotel The master; the second is a guest of a noble family. Although she is elegantly called Nilv, it can be seen that she means to take the former, and she modestly calls herself just a small shopkeeper who opens a guest house, a commoner."
Emperor Shengyuan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "The little shopkeeper of the guest house? I don't think it's right. In my opinion, the word 'reverse travel' should be interpreted from a superficial level, meaning that he is a traveler who travels in the opposite direction."
The words paused for a while, and his tone was firm and admirable, "I have a proverb: 'I have three treasures, keep them and protect them. One is kindness, the second is frugality, and the third is that I dare not be the first in the world'. Every time I think about it, I scoff at it. If no one takes the lead, how can I be the emperor? How can the world be peaceful? If we do it in the opposite way, we will sacrifice kindness and courage; That's right, so the prosperous world can be expected. Therefore, the meaning of 'to give up people' is fully displayed, not to give up the host for the guest, but to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, and dare to be the first!"
He fixedly looked at the old man Guan, and sighed, "The mind and courage of this hostel man is truly admirable!"
Can the four words "reverse hostel" be explained in this way? Grandpa Guan knew his granddaughter very well, and thought that this was just a pseudonym she chose at will, without any special meaning, but he didn't want the emperor to beautify it and pull out such a heavenly truth, which made him laugh.
But he didn't refute, just nodded silently. The other ministers laughed and praised the emperor's wisdom and knowledge, gradually eliminating his dissatisfaction with Xu Guangzhi and the aristocratic family, and then took the opportunity to leave.

Guan Suyi lay down for half an hour, dreaming of a little baby clinging to her to call her mother, she woke up with tears in her eyes and couldn't sleep again. It was really uncomfortable to stay in Zhao's house, and seeing Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu was even more heartbroken, she hurriedly washed and went directly back to her parents' house.
Stepping into the Imperial Master's Mansion, after talking with her mother for a while, she finally calmed down and locked herself in the study to practice calligraphy. In the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, she was about to untie the lead from her wrist when she heard the old man's frantic voice from outside, "Well, you little fox, secretly learn from the masters behind my back! This is not only a Your father taught it, as well as your grandfather and grandmother, right?"
Guan Suyi pushed open the window and looked at the old man with a smile, "Grandfather, aren't you happy that your granddaughter has done a good job in learning?"
"Happy, I'm so happy!" The feigned anger expression of the old man Guan suddenly stopped, he stroked his beard and laughed, "You don't know, the emperor asked me several times if I knew the hostel, and I almost couldn't hold back. Said it was my granddaughter! Thinking about your incognito, I was afraid that you would be disturbed by the common people, so I held back. You are just doing your studies, what are you doing without me? Do you think that I am also a first-class Xu Guangzhi, who only recognizes Confucianism, and must be killed Can’t you succeed in a hundred schools of thought? That’s not a literati, it’s a thug!”
Guan Suyi answered her promises again and again, and her mood instantly became happy.
The old man Guan continued, "Your Majesty is really interesting. He likes to play around in front of others after drinking a little Wen Mo. How do you think he can solve the four characters of 'reverse hostel', I really can't wait to say flowers..." Slowly moved Weiyang Palace The dialogue in the book was detailed to his granddaughter, and then he walked into the study and looked at the table, only to see a line of vigorous handwriting like a dragon leaping out of the snow-white folder - giving up kindness and bravery; giving up frugality and broadness; ; dead? No regrets!
"Is it true that the emperor was right?" He was dumbfounded for a moment, and then he looked at his granddaughter in shock.
Guan Suyi's inner shock and emotion are no less than that of her grandfather. She never imagined that the world could truly understand her and understand her, it was the emperor who once made her despise in every possible way. Yes, looking back in time, the vicissitudes of life, she can change, how do you know that others can't
This emperor is not faint, on the contrary, he is also very courageous, knowledgeable, and wise. The past life is gone, it is time to abandon the past and look at the present.
The depression between her brows completely dissipated, and she said word by word, "If you are fortunate enough to meet His Majesty, Yiyi should be a confidant and have a chat over the wine."
