Zhao Zhen plans to use this time to study "Han Feizi", an ancient book about the way of the emperor and the doctrine of Legalism, and the philosophy and wisdom of the sages should not be underestimated.

Moreover, the Fu Bo in front of him is the descendant of Han Feizi, he should know a lot about the study of Legalism, otherwise he would not be respected by the people of Weizhen County.

This night Zhao Zhen fell asleep with the sound of insects and frogs, and he woke up naturally without a dream, he had not had such a high quality of sleep for a long time, and the morning sun spilled into the room through the wooden window, and Zhao Zhen woke up leisurely.

The birds chirp happily in the branches, which makes people's spirits much better. Zhao Zhen used to hide in the back garden, how could it be compared with the elegance here.

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and smiled at Sancai: "It seems that I have been in Tokyo City for a long time, and this ordinary courtyard has become a paradise. ”

Sancai replied: "Official, this small family is not suitable for you......"

Zhao Zhen knew what he was worried about, smiled and waved his hand and said, "Of course I know, it's just a sigh of different ways of living, look at your hesitant appearance is useless." ”

Sancai sneered: "In the eyes of the slave maid, you are the heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, just serve the good officials, why bother with those talents." ”

The whole Weizhen County wakes up with the rising sun, and most of the people's homes in the city go to work at this time, but before they work, they have to listen to the Taoist collection at the gate of the Taiqing Palace, which has been a habit for a long time.

Zhao Zhen knew that his honor guard was lengthy and did not plan to disturb others, sitting in the elegant courtyard and carefully looking at the bamboo slips, the handwriting on them was well preserved, basically there were no traces of fading or scratching, in the words of Fu Bo, he silently memorized the content on these bamboo slips, remembered them in his heart, and did not dare to forget, the real treasure is not this box of bamboo slips, but the content on it.

Han Feizi poured his life's work into this, Zhao Zhen of course attaches importance to it, this book describes in detail and summarizes the rule of law theory of the trinity of law, art, and potential, and has reached the highest peak of the pre-Qin Legalist theory!

Even a knowledgeable person is unlikely to discuss the way of the emperor with Zhao Zhen, but the book "Han Feizi" records in detail the means of governance, the way of the emperor, the way of the emperor, etc., which is almost a strange book.

Zhao Zhen roughly browsed it first before suddenly discovering that in fact, the main value of the book "Han Feizi" is not its point of view, but the advantages of others!

It integrates the "law" of Shang Ying, the "technique" of Shen Bu Harm and the "potential" of Shen Dao, is the master of Legalist thought, and also pioneers the dialectics of Lao Tzu, simple materialism and law into one, its content is exquisite, the language is concise can be called the textbook of later emperors!

The status of the book "Han Feizi" can be seen from his classmate and opponent Li Si, after Li Si poisoned Han Feizi, he was able to enshrine his work as the key to the governance of the Qin State, and vigorously promote and reuse it.

What is even more valuable is that the ideas of this book are profound and advanced, and it has a great influence on later generations.

Nowadays, many well-known idioms and stories are from this book, the most famous ones are "self-contradiction", "Waiting for the rabbit", "Avoiding illness and avoiding medicine", "Indiscriminate Filling", "Old Horse Knows the Way" and so on.

Zhao Zhen read with relish, and even forgot the time to eat, Sancai kept sorting out the tableware on the side, even the dishes jingled but could not distract Zhao Zhen, and finally had no choice but to quietly approach Zhao Zhen's side, and reminded in a low voice: "Official, it's already noon, it's time to eat......"

Zhao Zhen glanced up at the sky, he didn't expect that he had done it for two whole hours, I'm afraid it didn't take so long to review and fold once, right?

smiled slightly: "It's really in response to the words of the first emperor, there are thousands of bells in the book, I have read it for a long time and even forgot the hunger in my belly, you put the food on the table, I use it while watching......"

Sancai wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhao Zhen waving his hand, so he could only sigh secretly and start to make dishes, as long as the official family took care of the things that no one could change.

For the current Zhao Zhen, the food in front of him is not as important as the knowledge in the book, and the book "Han Feizi" expounds the way of the emperor that Zhao Zhen needs most, which is something that cannot be learned from any Confucian classic.

Han Feizi wrote a book for the emperor to read, while Confucius Sage was to educate the people and scholars, and the two were different from the starting point.

Since the Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhongshu deposed the Confucianism of the hundred schools, the way of the emperor disappeared from history, and the emperor could only rely on his own eloquence and experience to manage the entire empire, and there was no systematic book for reference.

And the book "Han Feizi" is simply the emperor's manual, with the most basic governance methods and the way of the emperor, and it also completely explains what is the way of the emperor!

For the emperor, one person is the sky, the power is in hand, judging the situation, making the best use of things, making the best use of people, the heart is wide to accommodate the world, and the mind is wide to accommodate all rivers. To put it bluntly, those who are the king should have courage and eloquence, not necessarily erudite, but not lack common sense, not necessarily able to do everything, but must be able to use people and be good at attracting people's hearts.

The book is divided into eight categories: Cause, Lord, Disorder, Path, Counseling, Listening to the Dharma, Acting Handle, and Establishing Authority. The sentences are incisive, and the words are very praising Zhao Zhen, no wonder there are only more than 50 chapters in this book in later generations, and many chapters are too explicit and realistic.

He does not even shy away from the things that are criticized in Confucianism, such as killing, conspiracy, treachery, plunder, and deterrence.

Zhao Zhen was very happy to see it, this is the real way of legalism! Among them, it is even more direct to the key points of Confucianism, preaching that the nobles and lows of the monarchs and ministers are all subject to the law, the law is not noble, the rope is not bent, the punishment is not avoided by the minister, and the reward is not spared!

No wonder this Fu Bo did not dare to dedicate this book, the content of this book has many contradictions with Confucianism, and can even be said to be deviant, Zhao Zhen finally understood why Fu Bo struggled before taking out this book, and when he watched this book, the family hid far away and waited for Zhao Zhen to summon him.

Sancai reported that Fu Bo's family was dressed in white, kneeling in the west wing with solemn faces and waiting for Zhao Zhen's summons.

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly and said to Sancai: "Let the guards carefully sort out the books and carry them to my car, it's time for me to leave, and I am afraid that the lives of this family will be difficult to protect if I stay." ”

Sancai didn't know the mystery, but as long as it was said by the official, he would do it with his heart, and began to sort out the bamboo slips that Zhao Zhen had looked over, and left yellow silk on the last scroll that Zhao Zhen had seen as a mark, and the official family would definitely see these bamboo slips on the road.

Zhao Zhen strolled out of Fu Bo's small courtyard, looked back at Fu Bo and his family kneeling at the door, and sighed: "I have never been to your house, and I have not taken anything with you in your house, can you remember?" ”

Fauber led the family to kowtow and said, "Old decay remember! ”

Zhao Zhen's carriage started slowly, and the Fu Bo family waited for the final trial, but there was no movement, and it was not until the emperor's honor guard left that Fu Bo's son showed a relieved expression and said, "The official family is not to blame? ”

Fu Bo nodded slightly: "If the official family is really to blame, they will not say the parting words, we will forget the glory of our ancestors in the future, and devote ourselves to cultivating and reading the heirloom, after all, the things have been given to Youde Renjun according to the instructions of the ancestors, and our final mission has been completed......"
