It’s really hard to say whether the Yan State can resist Li Mu. Since the Yan State attacked Zhao State and was defeated by Pang Nuan with his troops, and after the death of General Ju Xin, the Yan State has no more generals who can lead troops. The current Yan State General General Yan Yi told the truth, he was not even qualified to carry Ji Wuye's shoes, let alone resist Li Mu.
"The State of Yan has a vast territory and has Yishui as a natural hazard. Even if the Yan State's army cannot stop Li Mu, Yishui can already hold back Li Mu." Ziyou said in a deep voice.
Others also nodded in agreement. There is no other way now. They can only pray that Yan can hold off Li Mu as much as possible so that Qin can have time to seize enough strategic buffer zones to support Qin in destroying South Korea.
"Then let Father Zhong do this." Ying Zheng saluted Lu Buwei and said.
Lu Buwei nodded. He was usually responsible for such things. Although he handed over the snare, it did not mean that he could not plan the matter. After agreeing on the plan to use Yan to attack Zhao, Lu Buwei left to plan the matter. .
"Teacher, I want Mr. Han Fei to join the Qin Dynasty. Do you think this is feasible?" Ying Zheng asked.
Ziyou looked at Yingzheng. Ziyou supported Han Fei's entry into Qin. Qin's laws were only suitable for Qin, which was a war machine. After unifying the world, the strict laws of Qin must be reformed and become suitable. It would be difficult to rule the world and recuperate if we only rely on Li Si. If Han Fei joins Qin and agrees to support this matter, the speed will be much faster. If we just let Han Fei join Qin, it will be very simple. Just tell Han Wangan that Han Wangan is afraid of Qin to the core. If letting an unpopular ninth son into Qin can ease the relationship between the two, Han Wangan will definitely be happy.
But the problem is how to make Han Fei willing to serve. This is Ying Zheng's headache and the question Ying Zheng wants to ask.
"Your Majesty, just let your senior brother enter Qin, and I will take care of the rest." Ziyou said.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to the teacher. Teacher, this is the list of recent Confucian disciples who participated in the selection of officials in the Qin State and the evaluation and arrangements given by the Prime Minister's Office." Ying Zheng handed a memorial to Ziyou.
When Ying Zheng asked Ziyou to look at this, it was not that Confucian disciples were not suitable for the Qin State. On the contrary, these disciples' research on Qin law and their ideas on governing the people made Ying Zheng find everything new. Compared with the current Qin State's governance methods, these disciples The thoughts of Confucian disciples are more humane and pay more attention to the interests of the people. At the same time, they can also maintain the operation of Qin's huge war machine.
The approach of these Confucian disciples was very simple. While maintaining the majesty of Qin's laws, they also added humane law enforcement policies. Lu Buwei's Prime Minister's Office gave a suggestion, which was to let some people who were not qualified to serve as officials serve as reserves. In the Qin State Learn and then manage the newly established territory easily.
"I still believe in Marquis Wenxin's vision, but some of them are indeed not suitable to be officials." Ziyou took the memorial and saw that the biggest advantage of current Confucian disciples is that they are highly moldable. When it comes to governing the country, they He also acknowledges the role of law, but believes that the law should not be strict. The people should be taught mainly and the law should be restrained. The monarch must pay attention to his own behavior and so on.
"I previously thought that Confucian disciples would criticize the harsh laws of Qin in these assessments, but I didn't expect that they had studied Qin's laws very thoroughly. They not only criticized the harshness of Qin's laws, but also explained some of the unreasonable laws. Place." Ying Zheng sighed.
Ziyou looked at Yingzheng and decided not to tell Yingzheng the truth. Many of the large number of Confucian disciples selected this time were from the lineage of Gongyangru and Xunzi. The great unification and great revenge pursued by Gongyangru needed to rely on Qin The country has such a powerful national power, and Qin Fa is one of the magic weapons that Qin relies on for its survival. The people and aspirations that Qin has gathered now can be said to be a paradise for Gongyang Confucians. They have not touted Qin Fa. This surprised Ziyou.
As for the lineage of Xunzi, why did Han Fei and Li Si follow Xunzi to learn legalism? The law in the book is the minimum of morality, and morality is an important supplement to the law, which opens up a new perspective for them. Why should they oppose the law? Etiquette and law, etiquette and law, etiquette comes first and law comes after. Law is also a part of etiquette, it is just another name.
So the whole Confucianism began to go astray, and some extreme people began to cry out that Legalism actually came from Confucianism, because the earliest laws were moral customs, and then etiquette and law were formed, and Legalism just learned the law from Confucianism. Rather than complete etiquette and law, it also made up various allusions for the Legalist sages who had come into contact with and studied Confucianism.
This made Legalists yell loudly, but Confucians ignored it. Now some people among Confucians believe that Legalists are just a line of Confucianism that has gone astray. We should not oppose them themselves. What we oppose are those harsh laws. and unfair laws that harm the people, so what they have to do is to study Legalism and instill Confucian concepts of benevolence and righteousness into them to help them become more consistent in governing the world.
Because Ziyou's "Xing Lun" made Confucianism's concept of national governance, which would only appear a hundred years later and was formed after thousands of years of development, appear in advance, and began to spread among today's active Confucians.
Confucianism's series of operations dumbfounded the other schools. After thinking about it carefully, they all looked at Confucianism with fear. This behavior of Confucianism is no different from that of country thieves. What they want to do is to steal the core of Legalism and become For a time, hundreds of schools of thought began to be wary of Confucianism and did not dare to get too close to Confucianism. You Confucians can plagiarize others, but you can't fundamentally deny Legalism, right?
Fortunately, Xunzi saw this and stood up to explain, saying that Confucianism had no intention of annexing Legalism, but only wanted to teach Legalism what law was. This made the existing Legalist disciples even more angry. They hit the south wall, but now Han Fei, the master of Legalism, is a disciple of Xunzi. They dare not say anything. They can only start to study Legalist knowledge, and then use their knowledge to debate with Confucian disciples.
Under the stimulation of Confucianism, Legalists gradually became united from the original scattered situation. They gathered together to continuously study Legalist knowledge. As the crowd gathered and argued, some of the problems left by Legalists were also solved. Legalists There was also a period of strength, and they began to compete with Confucianism on an equal footing. Seeing that Confucianism and Legalism were only fighting in terms of knowledge, hundreds of schools of thought felt relieved, and they merged with each other in terms of knowledge. Everyone knows this, but everyone It's secret. It's really shameless for your Confucian family to do this kind of thing on such a large scale this time.
However, seeing that Confucianism did not intend to swallow up Legalism, other sects were relieved. Seeing Confucianism do this, they also felt a little itchy in their hearts. Confucianism has done this, why can't we? For a time, hundreds of schools of thought began to have extremely intense academic exchanges and debates. The contention of a hundred schools of thought, which had been somewhat silent, became lively again because of a series of Confucian operations.
Everyone basically put down their dignity, and when they saw something that could make up for their own cultural shortcomings, they just put it under their own skin and started to fuse it. After fusing the other party's ideas with their own to create something new, they took it out to argue with others. When new problems emerged, they continued to study. For a time, the hundreds of schools of thought were once again full of activeness, and the level of debate even caught up with the times of the philosophers.
Now that the world is in chaos, I can propose anything. Anyway, in the end, you, Confucianism and Qin will take care of it, so we can just let go. This is the true thinking of Baijia.
There are still 8,000 in the afternoon
