"...Does Shang Yang count?"
Ying Zheng: "..."
The rest: "..."
Li Shimin: "What a joke..."
Ying Zheng: "..."
The rest: "..."
Liu Che made a sound, thought for a moment, and added: "But Shang Yang still couldn't refuse in the end..."
Li Shimin: "..."
The rest: "..."
grass!
More grounded in the underworld!
…
Ying Zheng and Zhu Meng chatted happily, and realized that the other party seemed to be interested in running around, so he became more interested in recruiting.
In his heart, he was leaning towards Legalism, but after experiencing the tragic lesson of the death of Qin II, he was more or less enlightened. His school's teachings, which he used to find harsh, seemed to have some differences. taste.
Zhu Meng was not from the Legalist school, and even because of his treatment of Huang Lao, he was somewhat resistant to the strictness of Legalism. However, he had a great advantage that completely neutralized this apparent problem. shortcoming.
That is "harmony", or moderation.
He knows a little bit about hundreds of schools of thought and is able to accept them. Compared with the group of people who constantly clamor for "heresy" and shout to kill these different schools of thought, he is softer and more tenacious. place.
Using the world's softest strength to ride on the world's strongest strength, perhaps the choice he made is the essence of Huang Lao's way.
There is a landscape screen in Ying Zheng's bedroom, with mist and clear water and a blue sky above.
He personally picked up the pen and wrote Zhu Meng's name on it.
The next day, after getting up and washing up, I said goodbye to Quan Shuyi and then went to Hongwen Hall again.
Zhu Meng was still lingering here, and was happy to see him. The two continued talking as they had yesterday, but they heard a sudden burst of people outside for some unknown reason.
Hongwen Museum does not prohibit people from discussing and talking, but the prerequisite is to go to the quiet room. The front hall when entering and even the main hall where you browse books are required to be as quiet as possible.
The two looked at each other and stepped out of the quiet room. They heard the noise getting louder and louder. After listening carefully, they realized that several students were debating here.
The Confucian sent was Mr. Zi'an, a descendant of Zeng Zi, the Legalist was sent by Wei Meng, a disciple of Jiang Maoyan, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the Huang-Lao School was sent by Mei Shigong, one of the elders.
These people are so famous in the world that the Hongwen Museum even suspended this morning's book viewing to make room for them to hold this debate.
Ying Zheng took Zhu Meng to the second floor - the prince of Zhou Kingdom still had this privilege.
After parting ways yesterday, Zhu Meng probably did some research, and even vaguely guessed who this unusually handsome young man was, but he didn't even show any surprise at this moment.
As they were going up the stairs, the two heard the official presiding over the debate say in a loud voice: "Today's defense has nothing to do with the opinions of people or schools of thought. It is about taking into account the changes in world affairs, seeking the foundation of the righteous law, and asking for help. The way of the people…1”
After a few words of transition, the Legalist disciple Wei Meng was in Zhou State, the Legalist stronghold, doing crazy things as a half-host.
"...The state has etiquette, music, poetry, calligraphy, kindness, cultivation, filial piety, brotherhood, integrity, and eloquence. If there are ten things in the state, if there is no way to fight, they will be reduced to the lowest level. The country will perish; if there are no ten in the country, if there are envoys to fight, the king will surely rise! 2"
Why add the adjective "crazy" before the word output?
Because Wei Meng, or the Legalists, were indeed quite extreme in their thoughts in this regard.
What he said, if translated in a more popular way, is:
The country has etiquette, music, "poems", "books", kindness, virtuousness, filial piety to parents, respect for brothers, integrity, and wisdom.
Once the country has these ten things, even if the king does not allow the people to fight, the country will definitely be weakened or even destroyed!
And if the country does not have these ten things, even if the monarch lets the people go to war, the country will definitely prosper and even dominate the world!
did you see it?
Be it etiquette, music, "Poems", "Books", or even the six following virtues, they are all advocated and respected by Confucianism, and can even be said to be the core of Confucian thought. However, in the eyes of Legalists, once If something like this appears in the country, it will be completely ruined!
What is the difference between this and pointing directly at the Confucian nose and saying, "You are a bunch of worthless trash. People who practice Confucianism are completely rotten from body to soul, and are of no use to the country." ?
If we only deny one point, then Confucianism may still be able to modify it.
But you deny it so thoroughly that you deny almost all the core values respected by Confucianism. Once you bow your head, Confucianism will no longer have a need to exist - you can just say that if you are a Confucian scholar, you should not argue with Legalism. Damn it until you die!
This is not over yet...
"If the people of a great country are not obscene in speech, then the people will be simple. If the people are simple, then the officials and titles cannot be chosen by chance... 3"
This means:
The country has a vast land and a large number of people. If empty words (reread) are not allowed to flourish, then the people will concentrate on farming and foreign wars. If the people concentrate on farming and foreign wars, then officials and titles cannot be obtained by rhetoric (reread). .
The old Yin Yang was angry.
Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing when he heard these somewhat familiar remarks.
Zhu Meng observed what was happening and couldn't help but ask: "Is your respectable supporter of Legalism just like Emperor Zhou?"
Ying Zheng's rebellious remarks in his previous life were now able to say calmly: "It's a bit extreme."
Zhu Meng was slightly surprised.
Confucianism has already begun to fight back: "Those who teach according to the people will be successful if they are not strong; those who govern according to the law will make the people peaceful... 4"
If you implement education in accordance with the old customs of the people, it will be successful without much effort. If you govern the country according to the old laws, the people will be able to adapt to it, and the officials will feel comfortable...
This is denying the foundation of the Legalist Reform and digging a grave in reverse.
"The ministers are law-abiding, the small ministers are honest, the official positions are in order, the monarch and his ministers are upright, this is the fat of the country. 5"
If the ministers abide by the law, the minor ministers are honest, each perform their duties, and the superiors and subordinates supervise each other, the monarch and his ministers will do their job, and the country will be rich and strong.
Ying Zheng had no interest in continuing to listen to the ensuing debate.
In fact, he is not the kind of person who will be incited by the environment, or atmosphere, and then become choice-oriented.
Since I have already made up my mind, I cannot change the outcome of the debate below.
After saying "Excuse me" to Zhu Meng, Ying Zheng was about to go elsewhere. Seeing this, Zhu Meng did not stop, but stood up and followed him: "Let's go together."
The two of them walked to the stairs one after the other, and happened to meet the young master of the Yinghou family whom they had discussed yesterday.
The original owner had little contact with him because he did not participate in politics and had no contact with the Yinghou family. Knowing the other person's background, he borrowed Zhu Meng's help.
Ying Zheng never paid attention to it, and he never thought that the other party was stunned for a moment after seeing his face, and suddenly understood, and immediately nodded and greeted: "Your Highness is visiting privately incognito. I don't want to attract anyone's attention. Please forgive me for not being able to give a full salute."
Ying Zheng was slightly surprised: "How do you recognize me?"
The young master of the Yinghou family was a little helpless, and smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is extremely handsome, everyone knows it."
Ying Zheng: Oh.
Blame me for being too handsome.
Suddenly thinking of Zhu Meng behind him, he couldn't help but turn around, only to see that the other party looked calm, obviously he had already guessed.
He immediately smiled with relief, waited for the crowd, and then said seriously: "It was inconvenient because there were so many people, and I didn't want to attract attention, so I didn't reveal my identity..."
Zhu Meng smiled softly after hearing this: "Your Highness has His Highness's concerns, so why don't I do the same? As soon as I come and go, it will be clear."
Then he adjusted his description solemnly, bowed and said: "I, Zhang Liang, Zhang Zifang, pay my respects to His Highness."
Ying Zheng returned the courtesy: "Zhou Ming and Zhou Zijian...huh?"
The expression on his face suddenly cracked for a moment: "What did you say your name was?"
The space seemed to exude a happy atmosphere.
Zhang Liang was startled by the expression on his face. He hesitated and repeated, "I'm Zhang Liang, Zhang Zifang..."
Ying Zheng only felt that an invisible crack on his face suddenly became larger.
He asked as calmly as possible: "Korean?"
Zhang Liang hesitated and shook his head: "No."
Ying Zheng understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhang Liang say: "I am from Bolangsha."
After a brief pause, he added with a smile: "The place is very small, and His Highness probably doesn't know about it."
Chapter 191
Born in Bolangsha...
Bolangsha...
sand……
After Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately stopped where he was.
Several people in the space were laughing crazy.
Li Yuanda said with ill intentions: "This feeling of déjà vu, this fate that has entangled two lives!"
Li Shimin said with ill intentions: "Zhang Liang, Zhang Zifang, right? Bolangsha, right? If you keep nagging about this, then the First Emperor will not be sleepy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with ill intentions: "Bolangsha is one of the few rural places that the First Emperor knew about!"
"Meeting an old friend in a foreign land - hey, guess what? Enemies!"
Liu Che laughed on the spot and made a pig noise: "Who did this? Zhang Liang's ancestral home is Bolangsha. I will immediately blow up the mockery effect!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Why is it that everyone else has exclusive offers, but only I meet the assassin?
So annoying!
After returning to the palace, he immediately took up his pen and erased the word "Zhu Meng" on the screen.
Zhang Liang Zhang Zifang...
