Different from the "Zou Zi" and "The Great Sage" presented by Meng Yi before, the ideas of "Xianxue" and "Five Worms" presented by the First Emperor are obviously more radical.
Although Wang Li's results were not ideal, there was obviously not much problem in translating "Xian Xue" and "Five Worms" for Zhao Si.
Of course, it is limited to just following the script. As for wanting to learn something from Wang Li, that would be difficult.
"The most prominent learning in the world is Confucianism and Mohism. Where Confucianism comes, it's Confucianism. Where Mohism goes, it's Mo Zhai. Since the death of Confucius, there have been Confucians like Zi Zhang, Confucians like Zi Si, and Confucians like Yan. There are Confucians of the Meng family, there are Confucians of the Qidiao family, there are Confucians of the Zhongliang family, there are Confucians of the Sun family, and there are Confucians of the Lezheng family. Since the death of Mozi, there have been Confucians of the Xiangli family, and there have been Confucian scholars of the Xiangfu family. Mo, there is Deng Ling's Mo. Therefore, after Confucius and Mo, Confucianism is divided into eight, and Mo Li is divided into three. The choice is opposite and different, but they all call themselves true Confucius and Mo. Confucius and Mo can not be resurrected. Who will make the world determined? Do you want to learn?" Wang Li read from the book.
The general meaning is that the two schools of Confucianism and Mohism, one is divided into eight and the other is divided into three. After the death of Kong and Mo, they all said that they are the true successors of Kong and Mo. However, Kong and Mo are dead and cannot be resurrected. Who can judge the authenticity of these schools? Fake?
The opening chapter is full of firepower, and the wording is not too obscure. Occasionally encountering some uncommon words, with Wang Li interpreting them, Zhao Si can barely analyze them based on the context and meaning. The key lies in sentence fragmentation, at least Wang Li's sentence fragmentation level is still good. After the sentence is completed, there are no uncommon words or uncommon allusions. Zhao Si can still roughly understand the meaning.
The opening chapter of "Xianxue" directly bombarded the Confucian and Mohist families, and the firepower was full, which undoubtedly attracted Zhao Si directly.
As a result, the content that follows can only be said to be more exciting.
Confucius and Mozi both followed Yao and Shun, but they made different choices. They both claimed to be the true Yao and Shun. If Yao and Shun are not reborn, who will make Confucianism and Mohism sincere?
The opening article bombards the current chaos of the separation of Confucian and Mohist families, and then directly raises the barrage to Confucius and Mozi, the founders of the Confucian and Mohist families.
Confucius and Mozi all claimed that they had the way of Yao and Shun. Anyway, Yao and Shun are dead, so you can just say whatever you want.
For the Confucians and Mohists of the current era, there is no doubt that they are trying to show their face.
"How could Han Fei's remarks be so fierce?" Zhao Si was surprised.
"Where are you?" Wang Li glanced at Zhao Si in surprise.
He had read "Xianxue" and "Five Worms". These two articles can be said to be the most widely circulated, the most fierce, and read by the most people. The main reason is that Han Feizi scolded them harshly, and it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.
"It's just a little unexpected~~" Zhao Si smiled and shook his head.
The main reason is that in subsequent dynasties, Confucius' halo has become bigger and bigger. I will not be defeated even if the Confucius family and even the dynasty are overthrown, and I am happy to welcome the king to the Central Plains.
Confucius has been revered as the most holy teacher in all dynasties. Han Fei's words are undoubtedly treasonous. After all, later generations of Confucian scholars have regarded every word said by Confucius and Mencius as Gui Gao.
Even the ideological reforms and reforms of later generations have to put on a retro hat and use the words of Confucius and other teachers to refute the words of Confucius and other teachers, making the deceased Confucius himself conflicted.
After all, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and even the Pre-Qin Dynasty are too long ago for a modern person. Confucianism has basically monopolized the right to speak since it deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. Confucius' status has also risen again and again.
Zhao Si naturally subconsciously believed that slandering Confucian culture in ancient times was a treasonous act.
"Confucianism is a prominent learning after all..." Zhao Si said.
"Legalism is also a prominent school." Wang Li replied.
Zhao Si did not say any more. The main reason was that his own thinking was biased. Ancient times and ancient times cannot be generalized. Although Confucianism is a prominent learning in this era, there are also learnings that are parallel to Confucianism or even suppress Confucianism. We will not end up deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism and become the only one in the future.
Another bit of surprise was because of Han Feizi himself.
After all, Han Fei's image in history is a bit like being persecuted. As a modern person, Zhao Si has never read Han Fei's works. When he first heard of Han Fei's theory, it was so intense that he naturally felt a contrast.
"By the way, how did Han Fei die?" Zhao Si put down the bamboo slips and started gossiping.
"I don't know... I asked my eldest father, but he didn't say anything." Wang Li shook his head.
There are different opinions on Han Fei's death in history. Some say that Qin Shihuang ordered his death, while others say that Li Si was afraid that Han Fei would take his place and secretly murdered him...
"You don't know either?" Zhao Si asked in surprise.
"How old was I then..." Wang Li spread his hands.
"My eldest father didn't tell me, so naturally I don't know the truth." Wang Li said.
Okay... Zhao Si's heart of gossip was extinguished. It was obvious that even in the Qin Dynasty, the specific reasons and events were not known to ordinary people.
Zhao Si gave up his thoughts on gossip and continued reading while holding Xian Xue.
Zhao Si did not accept the ideas of the pre-Qin scholars in a true sense.
As for the little things learned in modern times, they are either taken out of context or insignificant, but Han Feizi's views and thoughts unexpectedly fit Zhao Si's taste.
In Han Feizi's opinion, not only was Kong Mo unworthy of respect, but even ancient kings like Yao and Shun could not arbitrarily affirm everything about him.
He believed that the country should not be governed solely by kindness and influence, but should formulate legal rewards and punishments.
It is necessary to formulate a unified behavioral system for everyone in the world to constrain people's behavior.
He emphasized that the prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce generals must be sent from the army.
There are many targets for bombardment in "Xianxue", including former kings and sages.
But after reading the whole article, it is not actually disrespectful to the ancestors. The arguments recommended in "Xianxue" are more about respecting the ancients but not worshiping them.
Respect our ancestors, but do not blindly affirm everything about our ancestors.
As a modern person, "Xianxue" obviously suits Zhao Si's taste. In this era, there are not many entertainment methods. Zhao Si feels like he got a very interesting extracurricular reading when he was in school.
After reading the whole article, I just felt that there was still more to it, so I opened "Five Beetles" again.
Okay, it’s even more exciting.
The firepower was taken to the next level, and Confucianists, knight-errants, strategists, people close to the king, and business people were directly juxtaposed, and they were called the five kinds of worms in the country.
In addition, Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates the law with force!
The opening chapter directly attacks the idea of blind worship of antiquity, starting from the Youchao family and the Suiren family.
There was a man called Chao who invented the idea of building a hut on a tree to avoid pests. People loved him and recommended him to rule the world.
Suiren invented the method of drilling wood to make fire, and the place where grilled food was left smelled fishy, so people loved him and recommended him.
But in the Xia Dynasty, if someone still used drilling wood to make fire and building shacks on trees, then people would definitely laugh at him.
So if there are still people today who admire and implement the politics of kings Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, and Wu, they will definitely be ridiculed by modern saints. Therefore, the sage does not expect to copy ancient laws or adhere to old customs, but to formulate corresponding political measures based on the actual situation of the current society.
There is no doubt that Han Fei's views are somewhat similar to those of a modern man named Zhao Si.
"good!"
Zhao Si's eyes are shining!
Of course, Zhao Si did not fully agree with Han Fei's thoughts. He did not even see Han Fei's specific thoughts and ideas.
I'm eating it all the way through, Han Fei really dares to say it!
It doesn’t matter whether you read it or not, it feels right!
(It’s just a general introduction. The rest of the story won’t be like this. The subsequent ideological collisions are basically based on the plot. No more today, my waist hurts a little.)
