Xia Tian knew very well that in order to cater to the monarch, Confucianism gave imperial power supremacy and made the country governed by Confucianism strictly hierarchical. The hierarchy of monarch, minister, father, son, husband and wife was irreversible. The laws of the ancestors could not be changed and only respected. Morality, disregard for law and science, and other shortcomings.
This is even more true for Confucianism in this continent!
Because in this era, without the support of the monarch, no school of thought would be able to move forward, let alone develop and grow!
Therefore, Xia Tian also understood that he did not criticize the matter of imperial supremacy, he just mentioned it casually to let everyone think deeply!
The key point he wanted to say was: "Master Kong, fellow Confucian disciples, masters and disciples of various universities, what I want to say is that if you want to explore the truth in this world, you must be skeptical and critical. Only with the spirit can we find the truth in this world!”
"I have always admired the character of Confucianism!"
"However, I am very concerned about Confucianism making people spiritually self-contained!"
"Because this is erasing humanity!"
Peacock's face was full of contemplation: "Humanity?"
"right!"
Xia Tian said seriously: "In human nature, curiosity is instinct, and thinking and exploring unknown things are also instinct!"
"However, the current Confucian thinking makes people not curious. As long as it violates etiquette and law, you are not allowed to explore unknown things. This is against human nature!"
"If you castrate a man, he will have no children and no future!"
"What you Confucians do is equivalent to castrating everyone's spirit, so that everyone does not have to think about the future, because the future is all decided by the king, and people's destiny is already determined from the moment they are born. There is no need to fight for a better future. s future."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of those who understood the words burst out, staring at Xia Tian, he was about to speak but stopped!
Peacock and other Confucian scholars know their own theories best. When they heard Xia Tian's words, they felt like they were enlightened and thought more and more.
Therefore, the look of horror on their faces became even heavier!
King Huangzhou’s understanding of Confucianism far exceeded their imagination.
King Huangzhou's understanding of Confucianism far exceeded their imagination.
Throughout the history of Confucianism since the Jixia Academy era, it has always been favored by kings. This is the foundation for Confucianism to dominate hundreds of schools of thought, and it is also the source of the inability of various schools of thought to resist.
Now, King Huangzhou's words not only caused Confucianism to fall into deep thought, but also caused hundreds of families to fall into shock and deep thought.
Peacock bowed seriously: "Your Majesty, please speak!"
Xia Tian spoke directly and thoroughly: "You divide people into three, six or nine grades, which is tantamount to telling the powerful, aristocratic families, and disciples that you don't have to do anything when you are born, just eat and wait for death. Anyway, no one can shake you With your status, no one can use the wealth you deserve!"
"So, you who are born into wealthy families can do whatever you want on the hot bed of this empire and enjoy endless blessings!"
"And you tell the poor that you have been poor since you were born. Even if you struggle, you will still be poor. You are born to suffer and will suffer for the rest of your life. Your children will suffer again. Don't struggle and don't climb up, because you are destined to be born. It can’t be successful!”
At this point, Xia Tian's figure bathed in the sun pointed downwards: "So, look at the people of my Huangzhou. Except for the aborigines, they are all untouchables and refugees from outside the Huangzhou!"
"Master Kong, why are they here?"
"Why do they have to travel thousands of miles to come to Huangzhou?"
"Why do they have to endure all the hardships of migration and come here from thousands of miles away?"
"Most of them know that without money and food, they will definitely not be able to reach Huangzhou and will definitely starve to death on the way. However, they still set foot on the road to Huangzhou, and they still come to this uninhabited and wild land!"
Speaking of this, the extremely handsome young man wearing royal robes on the stage actually had tears in his eyes, and a look of compassion appeared on his face.
This is the first time people from Huangzhou have seen tears flashing in their own prince’s eyes!
They know that those tears contain heartache for them and love for them!
Therefore, the tears of the people in Huangzhou flowed from the corners of their eyes!
This is the reason why they have traveled thousands of miles to come here!
Because here is the king of Huangzhou who is the best in the world, who can support the world's humble and poor people.
Hundreds of fat men holding tin microphones loudly repeated Xia Tian's question.
Among these hundred fat men, more than half were lowly people who had migrated to Huangzhou. Therefore, they could understand Xia Tian's language better and roared louder.
At this time, the newcomers in Huangzhou thought of the sufferings in the past, the painful past, and the struggle in their youth but still had nothing.
Some days, they want to change their destiny through struggle, but they are still unable to make their own lives better and the lives of their children better!
That feeling of powerlessness made them depressed for a time and made the hot blood in their bodies slowly turn cold!
They no longer remember how many midnight dreams they had, their hearts fell directly into that kind of powerless nightmare, and they woke up with tears.
They can no longer remember how many times they wanted to end their miserable life. If it were not for the concern of their relatives, perhaps they would have passed away long ago!
Thinking about it, I burst into tears!
"Woooooooo..."
A woman from Huangzhou couldn't help but cry softly.
Xia Tian controlled his emotions and said: "When I was studying Confucianism, I understood the suffering of the people at the lowest level under this system. They have no way out and can only survive in numbness!"
"So, when the untouchables and refugees in the world come to Huangzhou, I urgently order all the stores in Huangzhou in the empire to set up relief points along the way to prevent them from starving to death on the road!"
"This king has exhausted the meager wealth of Huangzhou for this matter!"
"However, the result makes me very happy!"
"Because as long as the untouchables and refugees who have reached official status will no longer starve to death!"
"This is also the reason why I, the king, must ask you to use food in exchange for everything after hundreds of schools of thought come to Huangzhou!"
"Because this food is the life-saving food for my people in Huangzhou!"
At this moment, all the hundreds of schools of thought that came to Huangzhou to experience the hardship of food were relieved!
The king of Huangzhou was scolded by them behind their backs, but they didn't expect the truth to be like this, which made them ashamed!
One by one, the leaders of hundreds of schools of thought stood up and saluted: "We misunderstood Huangzhou and misunderstood the prince. We were wrong!"
Xia Tian said happily: "So, Master Kong, as you can see, the millions of people in Huangzhou today are all untouchables and refugees. They are all the most miserable people in the world when they are born. Their misery is Life is all given by your Confucianism, do you see it?"
"This is the biggest problem with Confucianism, do you understand?"
The peacock is silent!
The great Confucian scholars were silent!
The Confucian disciples were silent!
All schools of thought are silent!
“Do Confucians understand?”
Those 100 fat men holding tin microphones loudly asked what all the people in Huangzhou wanted to say!
Xia Tian continued: "It is true that these strict hierarchies help the country's governance, but they also make the country lose its vitality and creativity, making the rich richer, the poor poorer, and the powerful even poorer. Power, powerful people become more powerful, making it harder for people born poor to live!”
Then, he issued a soul torture: "Even if your Confucianism upholds royal power so much, have you ever seen a dynasty that cannot be replaced?"
The peacock was shocked!
yes!
Even if his Confucianism is so dedicated to helping the royal family consolidate its power, in the end, one dynasty will still be replaced by another!
He woke up from his meditation and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, please give me some advice!"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids and said domineeringly: "I am the prince, the king of Huangzhou!"
"I want to say that the royal power must be feared and respected!"
"However, I also want to say that the people are more important than the king!"
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
Suddenly, the whole audience was shocked!
What did King Huangzhou say?
