Following this announcement, the Confucian, Mohist, Taoist and Buddhist disciples who were already in the Luo Kingdom were naturally excited, and the other book writers scattered among the various countries rushed to the Luo Kingdom with their books at the same time.
Anyone with a slightly longer-term perspective can see that Luo Guo's move will greatly improve the social status and historical status of scholars like them.
In the past thousands of years, no matter how talented you were, if you were not appreciated by the nobles, you would eventually be lost to everyone, and you would not be able to leave your name in history.
Only a few sages, such as Confucius and Mozi, who had many disciples and disciples, could leave countless anecdotes and allusions, but such private writings were inherently inferior.
Therefore, scholars in various Xia kingdoms are working tirelessly to seek official positions and make tangible achievements.
However, most people ignore Liyan very much and only regard it as a stepping stone to a higher class.
The theories of the Hundred Schools encompass the universe and include all things. Those profound principles are superficial. If a group of people can be organized to conduct in-depth research, they will surely be able to continuously introduce new ones. However, it is a pity that the disciples of the Hundred Schools only use it as a tool for officialdom. .
Now Luo Guo Gong's office wants to tell the world's scholars that even if they fail to become princes and generals, as long as they write books and preach, they can still be respected by the world for thousands of years.
The nobles of various countries were not surprised by Luo State's actions. Luo State had always attached great importance to these classics.
In the past hundreds of years, when small countries were destroyed, these countries would deliberately preserve historical materials and bring them to the Luo Kingdom to exchange for gold, silver, cloth, food and other practical things.
Most people don't understand why the Luo Kingdom wants to preserve the history of those long-extinct vassal states, and it is not the history book of their own country.
In order to cut off the thought of the people who have lost their country to return to the country, shouldn't such useless and cumbersome things be burned directly?
Therefore, most people glanced at this matter and skipped it, and instead began to think about increasing the country's land and population.
Looking up at the stars and maintaining civilization are not among the goals of these rulers. Their goal is only to maintain their own rule.
Yingdu.
Although it suffered a big defeat before, it has now gradually come out of the defeat. The Chu State has rich experience in defeat, and it is not completely disheartened just because of this defeat.
Sima Xiangyin died in battle. This was the highest-ranking nobleman of Chu State who died on the battlefield, which made all the nobles of Chu State feel sad.
When Xiang Yin's body was sent back to the Chu Kingdom, there was not even a piece of intact flesh on his body. From the blood-soaked armor, you could see holes everywhere shot by swords, guns and arrows, and there were more than ten wounds all over his body. In the end, he bled out and died. No one could imagine how much pain he suffered before his death.
Outside Yingdu City, the King of Chu held his blood-soaked robe and cried bitterly, and everyone followed him in tears.
The Xiang family suffered heavy losses, and the faces of the clan members were full of sadness, but they still remembered Xiang Yin's instructions, and dozens of people knelt down directly at the gate of Yingdu City.
Xiang Yin's son Xiang Zhang stepped forward, held his hands and cried: "Your Majesty, the 300,000 Chu army was defeated by the 30,000 Wei army. Is this because the Chu people are cowardly?
How many achievements has been made by Chen's father and how many battles have he won? How could he lose to Wei's son?
The failure of the Chu State was due to the Wei State's reform and strengthening of its army. The Wei State's soldiers were tyrannical and could command mountains, unlike our army, which was constrained by each other and could not use its full strength. This was the real reason.
Your Majesty, I heard that there was a man in the Song Dynasty who raised sheep. Because the sheepfold was damaged, a wolf took away the sheep. He thought that the sheep had been lost and it was too late to mend the sheepfold, so he allowed the hole to remain, and it was lost again. Got the sheep.
The failure of the Chu State this time was due to the Wei State's reforms, but the Chu State did not change, and the losses were irreparable.
But if Chu State remains unchanged, how will Chu State stabilize its society when Qi State reforms, Qin State reforms, and Zhao, Wei, Han, and Wu all implement reforms?
I kowtow and ask the king to change the law, prosper the Chu Kingdom, and avenge the Chu people who died at the hands of the Wei people! "
The people of the Xiang clan cried out sadly: "Please change the law, Your Majesty!"
The King of Chu lifted Xiang Zhang up from the ground and said sadly: "Xiang Qing, I will definitely strengthen the Chu Kingdom and avenge Sima."
The Chu nobles looked at Xiang Yin's body on the ground, and then at the sad King Chu and the Xiang family. They couldn't find any reason to refute, so they all closed their mouths.
Just as Xiang Yin expected, he used his own life to temporarily obtain a perfect excuse for the King of Chu to reform.
What's even better is that the death of Wei Houqing caused many talents in Wei to leave Wei, because Wei no longer needs so many talents.
The old aristocrats and the new aristocrats of Wei State reached an exchange of interests. Those who were unwilling to exchange were either killed in the political turmoil or left Wei State with the benefits.
Anyway, Legalist disciples are talented and can put them to use wherever they go.
Reform has never been achieved by one person sitting in the palace and proposing a few strategies to succeed. The most important thing is a political group that can implement it to the letter.
Legalist reforms usually involve a Legalist leader designing the top-level structure in the court, and then a large number of Legalist disciples who are familiar with the law serve as middle-level bureaucrats, and ultimately implement these policies.
Although the strength of the Wei State has not been particularly damaged, after all, the most elite Wei soldiers are still there, but with the replacement of a weak and young monarch, the Wei State will not be able to do anything in a short time.
Han Houcheng and Zhao Houyong could finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer had to live in fear of Wei Houqing's backstabbing every day. At the same time, the two countries began to recruit talents from Wei.
The world has once again returned to a balance of power.
War is like a tide, it will never disappear, it will only silently accumulate strength, and then at the right time, it will set off a tsunami that reaches the sky and destroy everything.
The King of Chu had decided to reform and then destroy Wu. Nothing could shake his strategy. The competition between Qin and Chu on the plains of Shu became increasingly fierce.
Luoyi.
This city in the world has gone through eight hundred years of ups and downs, and is still firmly in the hands of the Zhou royal family.
The Emperor of Zhou sat here and watched the ebb and flow of the princes. In the past, when Wei was arrogant and the six kingdoms attacked Chu, he did not say a word.
Wei Houqing was killed by Han Houcheng and Zhao Houyong in Wang Ji. Although they did not give him face, he still did not say a word.
Now he is dying.
During his reign, due to the abundant funds of the royal family, a large number of repairs were carried out on the palace, restoring its former momentum. All the interiors in the palace were renovated, and the hanging curtains made of precious cloth and silk slowly descended from the roof. Falling slowly, the wide hall was divided into gaps.
He is now lying behind dozens of heavy curtains, with a sallow complexion and no trace of the majesty of the emperor. Kneeling beside the bed is a row of people, all close members of the royal family, including seven princes alone.
"I am going to collapse."
The emperor's face was still calm, and he said with some emotion: "Bangzhou has been around for eight hundred years now, far exceeding the six hundred years of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
I opened the history books and saw that every time the royal family declined, it was because the emperor was warlike or there was internal fighting in the royal family, so I just enjoyed it these years and did not participate in the affairs of the world.
Thanks to the land donated after the Zhuxia War, Wang Ji now has thousands of miles of land. This has been the richest and most powerful time for the royal family in the past three hundred years.
When I die, you must continue my practice and don't provoke the princes at will. Bangzhou's destiny is unstable, and no matter what you do, you may encounter unexpected events.
If there are princes who threaten Wang Ji and you feel that you cannot resist it, then give the land of Wang Ji to Luo State. This is the last thing I can warn you. "
These words were the heartfelt words of Emperor Zhou. He felt that Bang Zhou's destiny was about to disappear. Instead of fussing around, it would be better to drag it on like this and live day by day. Anyway, Wang Ji is still very wealthy now, and the vassal states He won't attack with nothing to do.
Even if it does come, there is still the last resort to ask Luo Guo for help.
It's a pity that his son doesn't think so. The royal family now has considerable strength. Most of the Zheng Kingdom and part of the Song Kingdom, although their population has dropped sharply due to being one of the main battlefields, are at least stronger than South Korea.
South Korea can dominate among other countries, and the royal family still has the name of emperor, why can't it?
If it can annex Han and Wei, the royal family can achieve the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom in the past and completely restore the glorious era of 800 years ago.
The princes promised the emperor one after another: "Father, I will obey your orders and guard the country of our ancestors."
Those emperor's ministers also promised the emperor that they would assist the prince well and never let Bang Zhou's country fall.
It sounded very sincere, but the emperor heard it as perfunctory.
He knew what his son and ministers were thinking at a glance, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, but after thinking about his body, he calmed down.
He was a very pessimistic person and couldn't help but think: "At the end of a dynasty, there will always be kings like Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, will Bang Zhou be an exception?
If the royal family really produces a few more unworthy descendants, then God is probably going to destroy Bang Zhou. What's the point of teaching me more now?
I just hope that King Su can still protect Bang Zhou. "
In the Luo Kingdom, the Luo Kingdom's office began to compile classics that they had never seen before. There were so many sages in the world, and the ideas contained in them could not be covered by a single academy.
If the Luo Kingdom had not wanted to create statues for all the sages, I am afraid that many of them would never have come to the Luo Kingdom.
Time flies like running water, and the situation in the world is also like running water. The strength and weakness of the countries are constantly changing with the rise and fall of wars.
But the only thing that remains unchanged is the general trend. Countries occupying favorable terrain gradually begin to gain more weight, while countries located in the areas of the Four War begin to inevitably decline.
Thanks to the leader of the alliance for the reward. I will write it down in two days when I am in better condition. I have written about Mo Jia and Yang Zhu in the past two days, and I have exhausted my status. I have to slow down. This is probably the last chapter of the transition. I will start telling the story tomorrow. Push the plot.
(End of chapter)
