"Magic power? Interesting trend of thought. If you advocate this, it's no wonder that the Jade Emperor likes you. I'm afraid there is no king in the world who doesn't like this doctrine that is specially designed for the monarch and treats his subjects as minions. However, if this way flourishes, then Despised by all nations.”
Listening to Jiang Shan's narration about Legalism, Emperor Ru frowned slightly at first, then smiled.
"That's not necessarily the case. This method can be said to be specially designed for the monarch, but its original intention is to make the country rich and the people strong, and the world stable." Jiang Shandao, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, the rituals collapsed. Confucius believed that the rituals were not good enough and needed to be restored. According to Zhou Li, everyone will be fine if they abide by the rules, while the Legalists believe that the nobles are too powerful and too powerful, and the king's strength is too weak, so the king's power must be enhanced.
As for being despised by all the people, I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. Even the worst peace times are better than troubled times.
"From this point of view, there is some truth. However, when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys will cook. This method prospers from above, but weakens from itself. If you advocate this theory, you are not afraid of death?" Confucian Emperor laughed.
"Senior may have misunderstood. I just said that there is such a legalist theory, but I did not say that I support it. Furthermore, Confucianism says that the king is the king and the ministers are the ministers, and the father is the son. However, since ancient times, how many ministers have killed the king? The law is the law, but the reality is In reality, it just depends on whose method it is." Jiang Shan said.
The name is the name, the reality is the reality. There is a difference between master and servant in name, and the life and death of the servant depends on the master's thoughts.
But in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, a group of emperors were dismissed and established by eunuchs, and several were even killed by eunuchs.
There are also those ministers in the Ming Dynasty who kept talking about ethics. Their Ming Emperor was easily soluble in water.
"Which one do you support, Confucianism, Taoism and Law?" Emperor Confucianism took a fancy to Jiang Shandao.
"Jiuzhou has its own system, which is based on the combination of Overlord and Taoism. Whether it is Confucianism or Taoism, whoever is useful will use whichever one is useful. There is no fixed support for which one. It is nothing more than adapting to the times and local conditions. Furthermore, this is something to be considered above, It has nothing to do with the younger generation, and it is the way of life to not be in one's position and not to pursue political affairs." Jiang Shandao.
Confucianism, Legalism and Taoism are clearly distinct in theory, but in practical application, where is the distinction too clear?
Strict and enterprising is the Dharma, inaction is the Tao, and between the two is Confucianism.
Inner sage and outer king are symbols of Confucianism, but they originated from Zhuangzi.
Confucianism has been doing this for two thousand years by focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, and controlling and benighting the people, but Legalism did the same thing, even more ruthlessly than Confucianism.
It doesn't matter which family it is, use it if it's useful.
If it doesn't work, then they will tamper with what their ancestors said and say that their ancestors felt the same way. If that doesn't work, they will make up the words that their ancestors said.
"Jiuzhou has its own system, which is based on the overlord's way." After hearing this, the Confucian Emperor showed a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then showed a smile and said, "Interesting, I haven't seen such an interesting junior like you for a long time. Your past, I have also heard that among the four major continents, the Beiju Luzhou is the most suitable for you, so why not stay here, I will grant you the title of Demon Saint."
"Huh? Stay here? Then I'm going to kill the demon, don't I have to tie my hands?" Jiang Shan said.
"Then come back as the Bull Demon King." A light flashed in Emperor Ru's eyes, and he chuckled.
"Then, I wonder what senior will do with me next?" Jiang Shan said.
"This watch, the Demon King thinks it's a grand ceremony, the Demon King thinks it's a big war, but I only think it's chaos. You are here to quell the chaos, to quell the chaos in the world, I will make you the Great Sage of Pingtian, and patrol our Qingzhou Eighteen counties." Emperor Ru said.
"The Great Sage of Pingtian?" Jiang Shan was slightly surprised. This was the title in Lao Niu's original work. Because Sun Wukong claimed to be the Great Sage of Equal Sky, he did not want to be weaker than Sun Wukong, and he was not as young and vigorous as Sun Wukong, so he was a little gentler. Therefore, he calls himself the Great Sage of Pingtian, but its actual meaning is to be equal to the balance of the sky.
I never thought that being born early would lead to chaos in Ping Gengtian.
"The world is in chaos, and the world is unjust." A cyan token appeared in the hand of the Confucian Emperor. The token was simple in shape, with the word "Confucianism" engraved on the front and the back of a strange beast with horns on its back that looked like a fox.
"People who do this kind of thing will probably die a good death. Senior, don't try to harm me." Jiang Shan took the token from Emperor Ru and said on his face.
"But you are Zanyin, and you are not a human being, so how can you die easily?" Emperor Ru smiled slightly.
Jiang Shan's face was slightly dull, but he didn't expect Emperor Confucianism to catch this language problem.
"Okay, let's take a rest here first and get familiar with the environment here." Emperor Ru waved his hand, and a little Taoist boy in Tsing Yi emerged from the ground and bowed slightly towards Jiang Shan, "Qingzun, he will take you to rest."
Jiang Shan nodded and immediately stood up and left with Qingsun Boy to his residence.
After Jiang Shan left, Confucian Emperor looked at Jiao Demon King and said, "The Jade Emperor rarely makes mistakes when looking at people. You have a good big brother."
"Of course the eldest brother is a good brother, but why did the eldest brother just say that he kills, so it's not good to stay here? Isn't the demon world about killing?" The Jiao Demon King asked in confusion.
"The demon world is chaos, but if there was only chaos, the demon world would have been destroyed long ago. No matter how chaotic it is, once it continues to exist, there will be order. It's just that the order of the demon world may appear to be chaos in the eyes of some people. A A demon king who slaughters demon kings of the same level without any hesitation, even if he has great supernatural powers, will not last long in the demon world if he does not follow the rules. Especially in Qingzhou, where it is rare to follow the rules, only your eldest brother can come, because he Just passers-by in Luzhou, Beiju, you can kill them without thinking about the consequences." Emperor Ru said.
"Is this the reason why Big Brother came here?" said the Demon King.
"Yes, only he, an outsider, can do this. Whatever you do is inappropriate. But I never thought that he could see it himself, and he uses both Confucianism and Legalism. If your eldest brother hadn't really been Zhan Yin, what would the Jade Emperor have done? If the old boy doesn't have the guts, I really suspect that he is the illegitimate son of that old boy, the Jade Emperor. He is exactly the same thick-skinned and pursues practicality." Emperor Ru said.
"Big brother is naturally extraordinary," said the Demon King.
Seeing Jiao Demon King's proud expression, Confucian Emperor sighed slightly and said, "Your eldest brother has the same temperament as the Jade Emperor, and you are quite similar to me. You have to be more careful when dealing with him in the future."
"Why is this? Did the Jade Emperor do something to disgrace the master?" Demon King Jiao asked in confusion.
"There are some things that I didn't want to tell you, but considering your elder brother's temperament, I still want to tell you." The Confucian Emperor sighed quietly, "I was just a passer-by in the world, traveling freely. Although there were often idiots in the past who thought If you ride me, you will live two thousand years longer. If you come to catch me, life will be interesting. Until I met that bastard, and after being talked nonsense by him, I followed him and became a god in heaven."
The Demon King's expression changed slightly. Why did he look so much like his elder brother?
"At that time, at the beginning, he and I spent a long and happy time. At that time, the two of us traveled around the world, expressing our loyalty, doing whatever we wanted, having fun and enjoying flowers as we pleased. Until one day One day, my master fell in love with a fairy, but he secretly went to see the fairy bathing behind my back!" Emperor Ru said slowly.
"Good man, it is shameful to spy on a woman bathing, but to spy on the person that my brother loves. The Jade Emperor is so shameless. How can he sit on the throne of the Emperor of Heaven?" Hearing this, the Jiao Demon King's squinted eyes suddenly widened with a cold light. Biting.
Hearing Jiao Demon King's words, Confucian Emperor looked a little embarrassed. He had actually done it when he was young and ignorant, peeking at people bathing, but the main reason was that the Jade Emperor was shameless. He was led astray. Continue He told the story: "Yes, how can this despicable and shameless villain be worthy of being the Lord of the Three Realms? So after I got the news, I rushed over angrily to settle the score with him. But when I arrived at that place, But I didn’t see that bastard Jade Emperor, I only saw the fairy bathing..."
"Did the Jade Emperor leave first? What happens next?" asked the Jiao Demon King.
"Then, that fairy is now your mistress. The Jade Emperor didn't go at all that day. He just coaxed me to go and forced me to marry that fairy. I didn't know until later that it was clearly a partnership between the two of them." Ru Di looked complicated. He sighed.
"Ah?" Demon King Jiao was stunned. He never expected such a turn, but in this case, it seems to be nothing.
Don’t you already love me? The best of both worlds!
"What a shame, all the beauties I had back then, including Qingqing, Yanyan, Meimei, Ayu... all left just because I got married! I originally had such a big harem, but it was all that bastard who made me so big now. , such a big harem is gone! Gone!" Emperor Ru said through gritted teeth, no longer as calm and comfortable as before.
The Jiao Demon King was dumbfounded. Is it because of this place that you and the Jade Emperor cut off their robes and left the heaven?
And how many years have passed, do you still remember these names so clearly?
In addition, even so, Master, don’t you still have a queen and two concubines?
Although it is far inferior to the tens of thousands of Poison Emperor Xiang Liu's harem next door, it is useless to have more.
"Be careful of your elder brother. I think he has the style of the Jade Emperor and is shameless. I'm afraid he will sell you out at some point." Ru Di said seriously. He didn't want to accept this disciple at first. After all, the Jade Emperor was too unreliable. However, after some contact, he found that the Jiao Demon King looked too much like him when he was young, so he accepted him as his disciple.
"But I don't have any admiration, and women are okay. When we were in the East China Sea, snake demons, clam spirits, fox maidens, and fish spirits were all boring. If we break up, we'll break up." said the Jiao Demon King.
Emperor Ru paused for a moment, almost forgetting that his disciple had a huge backyard, and said: "Jun'er, I went to pick up your eldest brother today. Is your practice delayed? Now that the demon world is in chaos, you need to practice quickly. Go to Beiming today. Let’s practice in the cave.”
The Jiao Demon King was slightly stunned. This Beiming Cave was a cave that imitated the Beiming Abyss. It was extremely cold inside. Even though he was a demon saint, he could not stay in it for long. But looking at Emperor Ru's expression, he obediently agreed to go down. Practice.
In this way, the Confucian emperor picked up the book on the table and looked at it. The wind blew in the bamboo forest, which was quiet and pleasant, like a hermit in the bamboo.
Just watching, Emperor Ru couldn't help but think of what Jiang Shan had just said about Legalism. He flicked his fingers slightly, and a few spiritual lights fell. The demon left the demon world and went to Nanzhan Buzhou to learn about Legalism.
