Ji Ni died, and the Emperor of Zhou, who had completely knocked down the Zhou royal family from a second-rate country to the lord of Luoyi City, died on a thunderstorm day.
This Emperor of Zhou can be regarded as a legend among Zhou kings. After all, he is the only one who can put the crown on the six princes with his own hands.
Moreover, the royal family's land was completely lost, and King You and King Li were no more than that. I really don't know if they would be slapped to death if they really saw King Wu after death.
In an extremely rare move, Luo State sent a letter to Wang Ji, directly saying that Ji Ni was in trouble as King You, and asked the royal family to give Ji Ni a bad posthumous title.
The Zhou royal family saw the Luo Kingdom's extreme dissatisfaction with Ji Ni. Facing the last vassal state that had not yet proclaimed itself king but still recognized itself, the new emperor obediently gave Ji Ni a bad posthumous title.
Time is the greatest thing in the world. When the leaves fall and the cicadas mourn, the old and frail Luo Ce reaches the end of his life.
Before his death, Lotse lamented his mediocre life: "It is my lifelong regret not to be born in the heyday of Bangzhou.
But it didn't happen when Bang Zhou's destiny fell. This is what makes me feel uneasy.
I have an ominous premonition in my heart. I don’t know what kind of hardships you will encounter in the future, but I believe that the children of the Luo family who have experienced ups and downs are enough to bear any disaster. "
There was deep worry in Luo Ce's words. Bangzhou was collapsing step by step, and Luo's future was still full of uncertainty.
Luo Li knelt down on the side of the couch, held Luo Ce's hand and comforted him: "Father, don't worry too much. King Su is protecting the Luo family in the nine heavens.
The most beautiful and bright flowers can grow on the land watered by flesh and blood. The end of Luo Kingdom's mission is the beginning of the Luo family. People in the family have long been looking forward to that day. "
The passing of Ji Ni and Luo Ce proved the end of an era. The monarchs who were kings in the past passed away in a few years. In the era of human rule, the impact of the death of monarchs is immeasurable.
The State of Chu smoothly transitioned to the next king, and the old aristocrats of the State of Qin began to prepare to counterattack the reform, but the greatest impact was still on the State of Yan.
The strength of the Yan State was entirely supported by King Zhao of Yan and a group of wise ministers.
The sudden death of King Zhao of Yan caused Le Yi to lose his strongest support. The new King of Yan was mean and ungrateful, and did not trust Le Yi, a powerful general.
A classic plot from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period - the deceased monarch, the old ministers who were compatible with the former monarch were squeezed out, and eventually the person died and the government died.
The only lesson humanity has learned from history is that it will learn nothing.
This process was repeated in the Yan Kingdom. Le Yi, a top minister who had been ranked high in history for many times, had no choice but to leave the Yan Kingdom in order to avoid being killed.
The hard-to-find important minister was thus excluded from the country by King Yan himself. Zhao Guomei happily accepted the runaway Le Yi and made him king.
The Yan State, which lost Le Yi, was like a tiger with its fangs pulled out. With all the advantages, it was defeated by the Qi State Prince Shen, and the Qi State made a comeback.
However, some nobles of the Yan State said that they saw the armies of Han and Chu in the Qi State. There were also many merchants from the Luo State in the Qi State, and a large amount of grain, grass and weapons were shipped from the Luo State.
I don’t know whether this is true or not, but it is an indisputable fact that the war between Yan and Qi for several years ended with both sides losing.
War, accumulate strength, and fight again, this is the daily life of all countries.
The daily life in Luo Kingdom is still a school, a school.
The main concern of Luo Guo's office is the Academy. Among the occasional feedback from our ancestors over the years, the Academy is the top priority.
In the current Luo Kingdom Academy, Confucianism is becoming more and more powerful, and the foundation of its strength lies in two magic weapons-education and usurpationism.
The struggle between hundreds of schools of thought is just like the struggle between nations. It is not only about theory that determines who is superior or inferior, but also depends on the amount of talent.
Military strategism is a sharp weapon, and it is only taught to the closest disciples. This is destined not to die out, but it will never flourish.
Legalists and political strategists were the most prominent schools in the world. Once they gained the trust of the monarch, they could become ministers from the common people. However, even among senior brothers, the struggle was extremely fierce, and it was often the difference between life and death. I expected them to come up with a solution. School of unity that is dreaming.
Taoist knowledge is the most prominent knowledge in the world, but the most important one is Yang Zhu's learning. The real learning of Laozi is rare.
The Mohists, who were both world-renowned scholars like Yang Zhuzhi, gradually deviated from Mozi's thoughts after becoming officials in various countries. Not to mention universal love and non-aggression, they no longer even insisted on frugal burials and frugal expenditures.
Qi Mo's rhetoric has deviated from the bottom line that the Mohists have always adhered to.
Qin Mo has completely become a craftsman like the Gongshu family, working hard for the great cause of Qin and trying to end the war with war.
Chu Mo is a group of knights who care about life and death but value commitment. However, a group of elite Mohists die at every turn, so how can they be passed down.
Luo Li just wanted to say one thing, the orthodoxy of the Mohist family lies in the Luo family!
There are also some declining schools of thought. If Luo had not preserved their classics and used these classics to educate the children of the public clan, Luo has no doubt that some of these schools would have been directly wiped out in the long river of history.
Only Confucianism is an accident. In the past, Confucius traveled around the world. Although he failed in his official career, Confucianism flourished greatly.
This has remained the case over the years. The most outstanding disciples of Confucianism are basically not valued by the monarchs of other countries.
Compared with the Legalists who frequently occupied high positions, the monarchs were more willing to let the Confucian disciples who advocated kingliness simply serve as tablets to create an image of loving their talents and loving the people.
But Confucianism did not decline because of this. On the contrary, more talents continued to emerge. This is because Confucian education and inheritance are so good.
First, it is passed down within the family, and then it spreads to the family of disciples by accepting disciples. It is also very flexible in absorbing the ideas of other schools. This kind of inheritance is mainly based on the master-disciple relationship, supplemented by blood relationship, and is not stubborn. Method, it is too difficult to date.
The great Confucian scholars are not worried about the disappearance of the Confucian inheritance. Even because the talents in Confucianism are too prosperous and the hundreds of different schools of thought integrated by various factions, Confucianism itself has developed different branches to fight.
Fortunately, the Luo family had already bought the bottom of Confucianism. No matter how these Confucian factions fought, Luo Minggong and Confucius were always at the top, and there was also King Su, the undisputed number one saint recognized by each school. They suppressed them and could not be overturned. sky.
Unlike Luo Ce, who is a master of Taoism, Luo Li can be said to be knowledgeable in both Confucianism and Mohism. Even though there are so many talented people in Confucianism, he is still one of the most knowledgeable Confucians.
Moreover, the number of classics in the Luo family is far beyond the imagination of other Confucian disciples. Others are still working behind closed doors. Luo Li has long begun to practice theory from the vast sea of political books. In this world where saints do not appear, Luo Li He considered himself to be the most outstanding Confucian scholar in the world.
Until he saw this bamboo slip in his hand and this majestic and sharp-tongued article, he couldn't help but sigh: "Confucianism has produced another wise man.
Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You cannot have both, and you have to sacrifice life for righteousness.
Disregarding life and death, focusing on commitment, is there anything more thorough than this article?
If Wan Zhong accepts it without discerning etiquette and justice, how can Wan Zhong add anything to me?
It is really enlightening. Most of the books written by hundreds of schools of thought are difficult and obscure. What kind of ambitious person could have written such an article?
You should be called your son. "
Prince Hong couldn't put it down. Nowadays, most of the people in the Luo Kingdom are educated in Taoism, Confucianism and Mohism. Prince Hong is the type who prefers Confucianism. "Father, I don't know which country this Mencius is a scholar. You should let him." Kong Qi immediately invited this great sage to come to Luo Kingdom.
If this great virtuous person is not married yet, then look at his appearance. If his appearance is acceptable, he should be matched with a woman from the public family. Presumably, the women from the public family will be willing to do so after seeing this article. "
Luo Li nodded and said with a smile: "Since Kong Qi sent this article, it means that Mencius is willing to come to Luo Kingdom. You should hurry up and do it. My father can't wait to see this great sage. Read his article."
Well, Mencius has finally come out. Mencius’ thoughts are really unique. You can see from the book that my thoughts are deeply influenced by Mencius. His articles and Zhuangzi’s articles are even more unique in the pre-Qin period.
