"Update the method." Ji Heng whispered, with a smile on his face.
"Why are you laughing, sir?" Fusu asked curiously.
Ji Heng shook his head and said calmly: "What I'm laughing at is that the First Emperor finally came to his senses, or finally made up his mind again. After the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor once fell into hesitation and repeated attitudes, and then made many deviations in major political affairs. , but it is extremely difficult to regain composure now."
"You should actually have some understanding of the law."
"It is indeed the Gengfa you guessed, which is the "Gengfa Chapter" in "Shang Yang Shu"."
"As for the contents of "Shang Yang Shu·Geng Fa", you actually read more than I do, so I won't go into details."
"Update the law, update the law, the key is to update!"
"Why change the law?"
"It's because the world needs to change, so we have to make changes in accordance with the weather and in a timely manner."
"You may not understand this reply."
"That's fine."
"I will break it down and explain it in detail. It is not easy for you to understand simply citing scriptures. I will use the Seven Kingdoms as an example to explain to you the importance of the first and second updates and the significance of the updates. There is a need to change the law."
"As for the demise of the Six Kingdoms, the world generally has these theories."
"The six kingdoms were destroyed not only because of the disadvantages of the army, but also because of bad fighting, but because of bribing Qin. Bribing Qin and losing strength was the way to destruction."
"It is also said that the Six Kingdoms perished due to strategic mistakes. It is believed that the Six Kingdoms killed each other for small gains, which caused Qin to go to Han and Wei to occupy the heart of the Central Plains, leaving the Six Kingdoms without a basis to resist Qin and perished."
"It also comes down to the fact that the six countries did not adhere to the way of uniting and vertical resistance against Qin pioneered by Su Qin."
"Many of the claims are actually superficial."
"in my opinion."
"Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms are the Six Kingdoms, not Qin. And those who descend from Qin in the future are Qin, not the world."
"Internal factors are the root cause of each other's destruction."
"The 'reform' lasted throughout the Warring States period."
"It is also the root cause of the destruction of the Six Kingdoms."
Fusu's heart trembled.
He sat upright, without squinting his eyes, quietly waiting for Ji Heng to explain.
he knows.
Ji Heng's opinion today may be the real intention of the First Emperor in passing back the word 'update the law'.
How dare he show any negligence or neglect?
Ji Heng stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "South Korea prospered due to the reform, but also died due to the reform."
"South Korea is famous all over the world for its loyal and upright ethnic group, but it is really unusual in the world to use military skills to rule the country and subjugate it."
"Before that, you need to understand one thing. During the Warring States Period, the customs of a country's main ethnic group had a decisive impact on the country's people and national customs. However, Korea at the beginning of the Warring States Period was completely different from Korea in the later period. At the beginning of the Warring States Period, South Korea had strong expansion energy."
"Yingchuan and Nanyang are the residences of Xia people. Their politics are loyal and simple, and they still have the legacy of the previous kings. Yingchuan is honest... Nanyang is a knight. Therefore, it is still called Xia people."
"Korea in the early Warring States Period regarded itself as the Xia people of the third generation."
"They are also a loyal group."
"However, in the era of great political affairs, the State of Wei took the lead in completing the reform. After Li Kui's reform, the State of Wei quickly became stronger, and the three Jins were adjacent. At this time, the State of Wei attacked Zhao and Han many times, and the conflict between the three Jins suddenly intensified. At this time, South Korea took the initiative to seek change, thus leading to the Shinbule Reform, which is well known to the world."
"Shen Buhao is a famous figure in the Legalist School of Magic and the founder of the School of Magic."
Speaking of which.
Ji Heng paused deliberately, and then continued: "The reason why Shuzhi can be attributed to Legalism is that Shen Buhai's Shuzhi is based on the recognition of national law and takes the implementation of reforms as its own responsibility. However, the Shuzhi school is really a Legalist school. ?"
"Treat it as right or wrong."
"At that time, Shuzhi was just regarded as a master by scholars all over the world."
"In fact, there were sharp conflicts and major differences between the Shuzhi School and Shang Yang, the real mainstream Legalist at that time."
"The Fundamentals of Disagreement."
"The mainstream of Legalism advocates only following the law, while the Technological School advocates the realization of Technological Governance as the core of the reform."
"Who is the healer?"
"The law of supervising your subordinates."
"It means to clean up the administration of officials and keep the administration of officials clear and clear, with methods and means."
"That's why it's called 'skill'."
"Practically speaking, the foundation of the concept of Shuzhi stems from the corruption and difficulty of investigation of official administration, and it is believed that clear and transparent official administration is the foundation for the prosperity of the country and the stability of the people. This concept is not inappropriate."
"But the key here is that there was distortion after the surgery."
Hear the words.
Fusu's expression changed slightly.
In the past, he also scorned Shuzhi, thinking that Shuzhi was just a conspiracy.
Now when I heard Ji Heng's comments, I immediately realized that what I hated was not the treatment by surgery, but the distortion and deformation caused by the treatment.
Ji Heng said calmly: "Shen Buhu has been advocating in Korea for nearly twenty years. During these twenty years, Korean rule has greatly expanded. He relies on various secret methods to check the power of officials. In these twenty years, it has rapidly expanded to permeate the entire South Korea. A bad wind in both government and the public.”
"It lasts forever."
"The king and his ministers are deceitful, the officialdom is scheming, and everyone is spying on each other. Everyone in the government and the public is in danger. Under such circumstances, how can we be pragmatic and honest?"
"In the past few decades, South Korea's valuable character, which was helpful in uniting people's hearts and inspiring morale to work hard, has deteriorated into being honest and incompetent under the influence of power in these decades, and was eventually cast aside. All despicable and dirty methods and techniques , are praised as shrewd and capable by the wind of power, and all the wise and courageous people who go to danger to rescue people with integrity are dwarfed by the wind of power and become pedantic."
"In a nutshell."
"Under the rule of technology, politicians only regard self-preservation as the highest goal, and regard one's own outcome as the highest interest. The noble character of taking the rise and fall of the country as their own responsibility and daring to sacrifice is gone."
"After the Ran Shen Bu Hui Reform, Korean officials were indeed purified. For a while, they became powerful and gained the name of Korea, which the war powers did not dare to invade."
"at the same time."
"This reform has also completely destroyed the moral foundation on which the Korean ethnic group built the country, opened the floodgates to the ugliness of human nature, and caused an ethnic group that is famous for its loyalty and character to fall into the darkest abyss of internal strife. From the temple to the officialdom, Among the people, the strong and upright style is no longer seen."
"South Korea's rapid decline after the reform was launched. Can it really be all attributed to the reform?"
"Similarly not."
"It's that South Korea has been too deeply influenced by the political school. Everyone in the government and the public believes in political power, but the implementation of power is clumsy. In the end, it no longer even pursues the strong foundation on which power is based."
"Korean kings and ministers forgot one thing."
"South Korea's reform was to seek its own strength, but in the end it fell into the strange phenomenon of not seeking its own strength, but believing in power and power."
“It’s no wonder that South Korea has become a political joke during the Warring States Period.”
"But this is actually understandable."
"Because as long as you know how to play politics and learn how to maneuver, you can easily be promoted to a high position. How many ministers can hold back their temper and try to reform and strengthen the country?"
"Because of this, in the middle and late period of Korea, there was no longer any intention to reform and strengthen the country. All the minds and bodies of the emperors and ministers were concentrated on the calculation of avoiding disasters and seeking people. How could such a ridiculous and absurd country ruled by magic be reincarnated again?" Prosperity?”
"No matter how brilliant the power is in the world, if it is separated from strength, it can only be catkins fluttering in the wind; no matter how dazzling a chicken is when it hits a stone, the result will only be broken."
"Skills are just tools of domination."
"South Korea's reform only had a beginning and ended hastily."
"In the end, the whole country was destroyed."
"It's so sad."
"There is nothing wrong with South Korea's reform itself, but there is no follow-up. It is superficial and superficial, and the original intention of the reform has been forgotten."
"This reform is actually a failure."
"Modification means making corresponding changes to the reform on the basis of the reform so that it does not deviate from the original intention of the reform, and promotes the reform to go further, or even out of the original comfort zone."
Hear the words.
Fusu was thoughtful.
The purpose of updating the law is not only to continue the achievements of the reform, but also to go further and make the reform more profound.
Ji Heng's expression remained normal and he said slowly: "Next is Zhao."
"The Zhao people have a traditional national character that is brave and impetuous, fierce and chaotic."
"Chaos is actually the common denominator of the Qin and Zhao clans."
"What is chaos?"
"Execute what you call chaos."
"That is to say, killing indiscriminately is chaos."
"What does it mean to kill indiscriminately?"
"One of them kills political opponents without repaying the king."
"The second one does not follow the law and takes revenge by lynching."
“The rampant trend of reckless killing has turned into an unstoppable trend of mutiny and coup d’état in the country’s temples. Political opponents are often killed by plotting and committing acts in order to get out of political difficulties, or to remove obstacles to the realization of certain political ideas.”
"In the private sector, private fighting has become a common practice, and social customs include grudges and grudges without following the law."
Fusu looked slightly embarrassed when he heard Ji Heng talking about Zhao.
Because the same is true for Qin.
Perhaps this is the common denominator of the same origin.
Ji Heng continued: "Qin and Zhao have the same origin, so in the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period, the two states were actually in the same situation."
"There are many chaos and killings in temples, and private fighting among the common people has become common."
"And you actually know the reason why Qin and Zhao are separated."
"It lies in Shang Yang's reform."
"But Zhao Guoshi does not have a strong-armed figure like Shang Yang."
"There is no such person who has carried out profound and powerful reforms, so the violent and chaotic nature of the Zhao tribe has always existed."
"The State of Zhao began as a feudal lord and lasted for twelve generations, but there were eleven mutinies, coups, and civil strife."
"This is also unique in the Warring States Period."
"During the Warring States Period, internal affairs occurred in every prince's country. However, as Zhao State did, it was so frequent, so continuous, and often happened during the period of prosperity, causing the country to directly fall into a trough. Throughout the Warring States Period, the princes also had internal affairs. This is the only one."
"That's why."
"Under the reforms of King Zhao Wuling, the state of Zhao greatly increased its national power, but the chaotic government broke out again and could not be suppressed. In the later period, it became more intense and conspiratorial, which eventually led to the collapse of the state of Zhao."
"The chronic political disorder of Zhao State is the real internal cause of Zhao State's demise."
"There is a comment in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: Jie Li Pian" written by Lu Buwei: 'The generals and nobles of the three kingdoms Han, Jing (Chu), and Zhao are all very arrogant, and their soldiers and common people are all very strong! Because of their violence against each other, To kill each other. The weak ones worship each other to avoid death, and the soldiers eat each other one after another without discerning the meaning. They hope to survive and are plotting against each other. Isn't it not a disaster!'"
"Lü Buwei lived in Zhao State for a long time and knew a lot about the customs and customs of the Warring States Period. However, he made such judgments on the generals, nobles and soldiers of Zhao State. This clearly shows the short-sightedness of these three places."
"To think that these three places can work together is simply fanciful."
"However, Qin and Zhao have the same origin, and it is easy to compare the two, so I won't say much."
"But I actually have no prejudice against Zhao Di."
"As for me."
“Only with such social soil can we have such political soil.”
“Only with such a political soil can such chaos and chaos occur so frequently.”
"And it is in this land where chaos and chaos often occur that two talented people have emerged."
"The first is to be cautious."
"The second is Xunzi."
"Be careful." Fusu's heart tightened. He had chosen the cautious method before.
Ji Heng moved lightly and said in a deep voice: "When I mentioned these two people, I was really surprised by their shocking conclusions."
"Shen Dao proposed the theory that loyal ministers harm the country."
"And Xunzi pioneered the theory that human nature is inherently evil."
"Perhaps only the social soil of Zhao Di can breed such unique ideas."
“Unprecedented!!!”
Seeing Ji Heng give such a high evaluation, Fusu was also slightly surprised.
Ji Heng has always been light-hearted in the past and rarely gives too high praise to others. Even if he does, it is at best a simple compliment. This time he said the words "unprecedented", which was actually completely beyond Fusu's imagination. , which made Fusu even more curious.
Why did Ji Heng speak so highly of these two sages?
Ji Heng said to himself: "Those who are careful about the Tao are from Handan, Zhao State."
"In the chapter "Zhizhong" he says: In troubled times, the ministers who subjugate the country are not the only ones who are loyal! In governing the country, the ministers who show the emperor are not the only ones who can be loyal! Those who govern the country are not loyal to their emperor. People in troubled times , the Tao is not partial to its ministers. However, in a time of chaos, there are people who are loyal to the Tao in the same generation, and ministers who want to be loyal will never be unparalleled. Zixu was more loyal than Gan, and ruined the monarch in the pavilion, so he was weakened and his reputation was reduced and he died. "
"From this point of view, loyalty is not enough to save troubled times, but fitness is enough to avoid wrongdoing. Loyalty cannot exceed the duty, but duty cannot exceed the official position."
"Jie had loyal ministers and sinned throughout the world. To control the chaos, it depends on the appointment of worthy envoys, not on loyalty."
"Therefore, if you are wise and win the world, you will benefit your country; if you are loyal and loyal, you will harm your country!"
"Xun Kuang, Xun Zi."
"The chapter "Evil Nature" says: Human nature is evil. Those who are good are hypocritical. Human nature is born to love benefits. It is so, so fight for life and refuse to give in and perish! There are diseases and evils in life, It’s ok, so the thief is born but his loyalty and faith are gone! He’s born with the desire of ears and eyes, and he’s got a good voice. It’s ok, so he’s born in promiscuity, but the etiquette, justice, culture and science are gone!”
"Indulging people's nature and complying with their feelings will inevitably result from fighting. If they violate the rules and regulations, they will end up in violence."
"The two came from the Zhao region and were deeply impressed by the Zhao people's lack of loyalty to the emperor and their tendency to be chaotic. Therefore, they were able to demonstrate the necessity of the rule of law under such chaotic political trends."
"The significance is self-evident."
"These remarks are profound and cold, but also deafening."
"Amazing."
Hearing Ji Heng's words, Fusu could only smile bitterly.
There are many heroes in Zhao who do not do good but evil, but they are limited to Zhao. Qin has the world, how can we generalize them?
