Chapter 57 1. Genius Jia Yi

Let's put Liu Chang aside and visit a person who has been in depression for a long time.This person is Mr. Jia Yi, a famous political commentator and thinker in the early Han Dynasty. Jia Yi, a native of Luoyang, was born in 200 BC. His talent was unparalleled in the world, and he was commonly known as a genius.According to "Historical Records", Jia Yi was eighteen years old and had a first-class back work, which was well-known in the county.The so-called memorizing skills refers to the effort of memorizing books, and the bibliographies are "Poetry", "Li", "Yi" and so on.

Sima Qian said that working hard to farm is worse than meeting a good year; working hard to be an official is worse than meeting high-ranking officials who appreciate you.In this regard, I believe Jia Yi deeply agrees.When he became famous in the world, he immediately attracted the attention of local high-ranking officials. This person was Wu Gong, the governor of Henan Province.Wu Gong heard that Jia Yi was talented, so he accepted him as his disciple and doted on him even more.However, when Liu Heng first became emperor, he also wanted to promote talented high-ranking officials. He heard that Duke Wu, governor of Henan Province, had the best political achievements in the world, and that he came from the same town as Prime Minister Li Si of the Qin Dynasty, so he promoted him to be a court lieutenant.

At that time, Mr. Wu said to Liu Heng, I still have a young man with outstanding talent who knows everything in various books. See if you can arrange a job for him.When Liu Heng heard this, he decided to accept this buy-one-get-one-free deal.So Liu Heng summoned Jia Yi and promoted him to a doctorate. Jia Yi, who is a doctor, has since then had the opportunity to enter the DPRK to participate in political discussions.At that time, he was only a young man in his early twenties, the youngest in the dynasty.There is nothing wrong with this, why are there always a bunch of old men dictating and holding back when discussing politics.Young people, like the morning sun, like the fresh air in the morning light.For senior officials who have been in government agencies for a long time, they really need a kind of fresh sunshine and air to wash away the yin of the court.

And Jia Yi just met the expectations of these people. In fact, Jia Yi did not live up to everyone's expectations.Whenever Liu Heng issued an edict, Jia Yi could answer those old gentlemen who were unable to speak fluently and eloquently.What made these old men even more admirable was that Jia Yi said what they wanted to say but couldn't say.To put it bluntly, Jia Yi took advantage of his youthful vigor and dared to speak and act, with more courage and less scruples. No one said it was a bad habit.As the so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, young people should show their personality.If Jia Yi pretends to be old-fashioned, then he is not the real Jia Yi, nor is he a genius.Jia Yi's talent was not only appreciated by many senior officials, but also liked by Liu Heng.So, just one year later, Jia Yi was promoted to doctor of the Taizhong by Liu Heng amidst the exclamation.

It's still terrifying.This may be the highest evaluation of Jia Yi by the bigwigs of the Manchu Dynasty. The fearsome Jia Yi took advantage of the momentum and continued to show his extraordinary talent.Therefore, Jia Yi said to Liu Heng that the Han Dynasty has been established for more than 20 years, and the world is in harmony. It is too inappropriate to still use the costumes and systems of the former Qin Dynasty. Come. It is necessary to explain that when Liu Bang took control of the world, he did not know whether it was due to inertia or lack of energy, so he put the Qin Dynasty's national system such as clothing and official names on the Han Dynasty.There is only one thing in the Qin Dynasty that Liu Bang cannot accept, and that is Qin Yi.Liu Bang rejected it because it was cumbersome.Later, Shu Suntong patted his chest and said that China is a country of etiquette, and there is no country that does not pay attention to etiquette.Your Majesty, don't be afraid of etiquette, let me modify Qin Yi, it will definitely be suitable for you.

Sure enough, Liu Bang happily accepted Qin Yi who had been transformed by Shu Suntong.But other than that, the clothing worn by senior officials in the Han Dynasty was still dominated by black, which was the color of the Qin Dynasty; the official names of the Han Dynasty were not changed, and all of them were followed; and the Qin Dynasty used October as its year. The first is also used by the Han Dynasty today. Jia Yi believes that people can be lazy, but they can't be so lazy that they don't care about things.Now is the time to correct the new moon, change the color system, appoint official names, and promote ritual and music.

Of course, Jia Yi did not come up with the above suggestions on a whim, or for the sake of showing off.The fact is that the reason why Jia Yi put forward the above items is based on theory.This theory is the theory of "Five Virtues Luck" once recognized by the emperors of all dynasties. Once, Qin Shihuang Yingzheng believed that the Zhou Dynasty ruled fire virtue, and the color was still red.After the Qin Dynasty overthrew the Zhou Dynasty, what they got was water virtue, and their color was still black.That being the case, then the Qin Dynasty should establish a national system that conforms to the fate of the five virtues.Therefore, Qin Shihuang changed the first month of the Zhou Dynasty to October as the beginning of the year; the clothes and flags were all black; Six feet is a step; in the end, even the Yellow River was not spared, and it was renamed Deshui.

Now, times have changed.Therefore, Jia Yi believes that according to the theory of the Five Virtues, the Han Dynasty acquired the earth virtues, which overcame the water virtues of the Qin Dynasty.In this case, the Han Dynasty should also establish all the rules in line with Tude.The color of Tude is still yellow, so people in the Han Dynasty should not wear the black clothes they used to wear anymore, they should keep up with the times and change to yellow clothes; also, the Han Dynasty can no longer use October as the beginning of the year, it should be changed to the first month; The official name of the dynasty can no longer be the same as that of the Qin Dynasty, and should be renamed; there is another important point, that is, the number can no longer be based on the number six of the Qin Dynasty. The auspicious number of Tude is five, which used to be Liuliu Dashun. Now it should be called Wugu Fengdeng, and everything is based on five.

Of course, if Liu Heng likes it, he can change the Yellow River into land and water. However, when Jia Yi's report reached Liu Heng, Liu Heng put it down.The matter of changing Sui Geng became a thing of the past, and since then there has been no more content.But soon, Jia Yi continued to express new opinions.Fortunately, this new suggestion was adopted by Liu Heng; unfortunately, Jia Yi offended Zhou Bo and others because of this suggestion, and it was difficult to make a leap from then on. Jia Yi's suggestion is as follows: change the national decree and send Liehou back to the feudal country for retirement.

For Liu Heng, he agreed with Jia Yi's suggestion.The reason is obvious, it doesn't matter whether the color of the clothes or the official name is changed or not, as long as it is practical.Liu Heng himself is a frugal person, and he doesn't want to pursue this trend.As for the beginning of the year, it doesn't matter how you change it to twelve months.In other words, it's not worth worrying about such energy-wasting crap. But state laws are different.Everyone knows the system of the Qin Dynasty, which is the most stringent legal system on earth.If you have to use an unkind word to scold, it is simply inhumane.As for Liu Heng, who is familiar with Lao Tzu, he knows the profound truth that water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it.Of course, the previous emperors or queens who were in charge of this decree have somewhat changed it, but it is far from enough.Therefore, Liu Heng must make some thorough changes in order to achieve the effect of treating the root cause.

Moreover, sending Liehou back to the feudal country is simply not generally in line with Liu Heng's taste.People like Zhou Bo are like a sword of Darmus hanging above their heads, making people restless and restless.As the saying goes, once the emperor comes and the courtiers come, it is time to change the water. Therefore, Liu Heng immediately turned Jia Yi's suggestion into reality and promulgated it. At that time, when Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and others heard that Liu Heng was going to send many heroes back to the fief for retirement, they immediately jumped up.Any fool can see that Liu Heng is enthusiastic about kicking Liehou back to the feudal kingdom, and it is clear that he wants the old guys in front of him to retire and promote his own people to the stage.In this case, they are the ones fighting the country, Liu Heng is the one sitting in the country, but some inexplicable people are enjoying the country.This is simply bullying! So what to do?Just sent back home?There is still a way, and that is procrastination!A day is a day if it can be delayed!If everyone doesn't go back, let's see how you, Liu Heng, get on with it! Jia Yi, remember it for me!Zhou Bo and Guan Ying spoke harshly.
