Not everyone can accept the status of "vacant throne".

In the Fengchang Bureau, although some time ago someone was imprisoned for the crime of "not using Yiyiyan", now the control of public opinion is much looser than that of Qin Shi Huangdi, and the discussion of Confucian scholars is still unending.

Their controversy mainly focused on the ensuing issue of etiquette: should the black man be called the duke, should he use the ancient feudal state founding ceremony to directly belong to the ministers and doctors under him? Or is it still like this, above Jiuqing. At the same time, how will the ceremony of sealing the prince be held, since there is no Son of Heaven, then who will give Heifu the ordination? All this, the fight is inextricable, and when it is troubled, someone even interjects:

"Confucius said that if there is a way in the world, then the conquest of etiquette and music comes from the Son of Heaven; There is no way in the world, and the conquest of Lile comes from the princes. ”

"If the position of the Son is vacant today, does that mean that this is the time when there is no way?"

Even Dazai Ling Fusheng shook his head and said: "If Confucius has no monarch in March, then the emperor is like this, and he must carry quality when he goes out of Xinjiang, but now he not only wants to have no monarch in March, I am afraid that it will take three and five years without a monarch, how can it be so ......"

Although Legalism and Confucianism have always been at odds with each other, their views are extremely similar when it comes to the monarch.

In the eyes of Legalism: "The people of the world are better than the rule, and the rule is better than the king." It can be seen that the most important thing in the governance of the world is to have a "king".

In the view of Confucianism, the monarch plays a very key role in politics, and it is also believed that the foundation of peace in the world lies in the body of the monarch.

Although there were many opponents, the regency had already made up its mind, and in this case, it was necessary to find a basis for its administration, and this was the ability of the royal literati.

"In this way, when the Duke of Zhou was regent, he was also requisitioned from the princes, and it was a world without Taoism?"

The group of Confucians looked at it, but it was Taishi Ling's uncle Sun Tong, a Confucian disciple who was righteous and righteous, and questioned the speaker.

Zhou Gong is one of the roots of Confucian theory, since Confucius began to respect the sage, no matter which school is respected, that the Zhou Gong ceremony, is the beginning of the order of the world, who dares to question the Zhou Gong is the Tao?

The Confucian scholars were suddenly dumbfounded, and the uncle and grandson said loudly:

"Zhou Gong set the rites and music, the world is governed, but since the Zhou Dynasty moved east to the political country, the mausoleum has been late to the present, and in the past five hundred and fifty years, the rites have collapsed and the music has been broken, and they are all the worlds without Taoism!"

Good guy, the time of Qin Shi Huang is also counted in the period of "no way", but this is the consensus of the Confucians in the Standing Bureau, and they all nodded, and Hu Hai was even worse and more tyrannical.

"And now, it is precisely the beginning of the transition from the non-Taoist to the enlightened."

Uncle Sun Tong thought that regency was just a transitional stage from no way to a good way, and it was a last resort.

In his opinion, for Heifu, because the ministers and people of Qin were accustomed to the rule of Qin Jun, the time had not yet come to replace him.

can set up another emperor surnamed Ying, which will not only make the heroes of the Northern Expedition feel uneasy, but also be detrimental to the future conquest of the Six Kingdoms and the submission of the heroes and people of the Six Kingdoms.

Regency is the best thing that Heifu can do right now.

What's more, who said that there is no king now?

"Erya has a saying, heaven, emperor, emperor, king, queen, pi, duke, marquis, jun, who said that the emperor has to be the king? As long as it is unique, even the moon that rises after the sun sets can cast a shadow of the stars! ”

Isn't this the previous prophecy that "the moon will rise and the sun will set"?

Of course, this is not a long-term solution, and in Shusun Tong's view, sooner or later, another prophecy will come true.

"Black ...... of the Dead Qin"

"In the past, the reason why Qin Shi Huang was called the emperor was because he pacified the world, the sea was a county, and the laws and regulations were unified, which had not been seen since ancient times, and the three emperors and five emperors were beyond the reach. Hence the name 'Emperor'. ”

"The regent must once again dominate the world and win the support of all the people, so that it can come naturally, replace the Qin Dynasty surnamed Ying, truly sit on the throne of the emperor, and start a new dynasty......"

These words could not be said so bluntly, so he turned pale and taught those Confucians who were recommended by himself to enter Fengchang:

"In the past, you asked me to recommend all the living beings to the regent as officials, but now you have entered the regular service, but you don't cherish it, help the regent to set the ceremony, and promote the way of etiquette and pleasure, and here you are talking in vain, what do you want?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they were convinced on their faces, but they were not necessarily convinced in their hearts.

At this time, the Confucian students in the hall heard another voice say:

"Taishi is right!"

But it is Feng Chang Lu Jia.

"Confucius also said that Yidi has a king, not as good as the death of Zhuxia (none), it can be seen that Zhuxia has no king, and there are often them!"

If you have to name this nation in the Central Plains, marked by a crown and belt, and have a rudimentary form, her current name is "Zhuxia".

"However, when Zhuxia was without a king, he did not lose his etiquette, why is this?"

He glanced at the crowd, and when the discussion was over, he said firmly:

"Because there are saints!"

……

"Saint?" Everyone looked at each other.

Lu Jia said with a smile: "Yes, the reason why Zhuxia was able to maintain the great etiquette and the beauty of the chapter uniform when there was no monarch, or when the monarch was young and weak, and did not degenerate into Rong Di, is precisely because there are saints who rule the country!" For example, Yi Yin, Zhou Gong, Confucius!

"Now the regent is also a saint!"

"The regent is a saint......" The Confucians were shocked, they had put a lot of labels on the black man, but they really didn't think about it, where is the black man a saint?

"Dare to ask Uncle Sun Taishi, what is a saint?" Lu Jia gave up his hands to his uncle and grandson, and the two of them had to sing a double reed here today.

Uncle Sun Tong groaned slightly: "There is virtue inside, and there is merit outside, it is for the inner saint and the outer king, and he is a saint." ”

Lu Jia shook his head: "It's too profound and concise, I'm afraid some people can't understand it, can you be more specific?" ”

Uncle Sun Tong had to be serious: "Zeng Ziyan said that those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world should rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you should know it first. Enlightenment is in Gewu. ”

"Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world, those who can do these things can be described as great sages!"

Lu Jia spread out the proof one by one:

"The regent was born in Qian, but Mencius said that the person who Tu can be Yu. When the regent was young, his family was poor, and his parents and brothers were all white, but Xunzi said that saints can be learned. Regency is both a natural intellect and a tireless learner. ”

He gave an example: "When Shennong was in the sky, it rained, and Shennong cultivated it; Make a pottery axe, for the plowing of the rake, in order to cultivate the grass, and then the five grains and help, the fruit is hidden, Shennong's is the sage model of the knowledge of things. ”

"Gentlemen, think about it carefully, in the past ten years, the water vertebrae that saves ten times the manpower, the compost that doubles the yield per mu, makes everyone in the world eat sweet sugar, and saves paperwork and printing ...... paperwork and time."

"These things that are all done by the regent! In terms of learning from things, the achievements of the regent can be compared with the Shennong clan! ”

It seems to be true! Everyone nodded, there was nothing wrong with it, the ancient "saints", Suiren Shennong and the like, were really a group of inventors, and Heifu took advantage of it.

"Besides, the self-cultivation of the family, the regent has no different food, the residence is not heavy, the room is not worshipped, the utensils are not open, the palace is not observed, the boats and cars are not decorated, the clothes and money are used, and the choice is not to take the fee, which can be described as thrifty, which is very different from the first emperor and Hu Hai."

"And not greedy for women, into Xianyang, women have nothing to do, and the palace maids are all out and married. There is only one wife in the family, and his wife Ye is virtuous and thrifty, and her clothes do not fall to the ground, and she knits clothes to teach her two sons. ”

Heifu's point that is criticized by some people on weekdays has now become Lu Jia's praise - Confucius, the great sage in the eyes of Confucianism, isn't he only a wife, a son and a daughter!

Lu Jia's speech is getting better: "As for the ability to govern the country, everyone can see it. The political north, and the northland is strong, chasing the Xiongnu for 800 miles, and the Hu people do not dare to go south and graze horses; Governing Jiaodong, Jiaodong is rich, the building ships are overseas, and the Jiuyi are all facing the Central Plains; To govern Lingnan, defeat turned into victory, the Southern Expeditionary Army took it as its parents, and the barbarians of the Yue Colonel were willing to die for it! ”

"Peaceful world, not to mention, Hu Hai usurped the throne and tyranny, wanted to slaughter An Lu, the regent with a blinking body, thousands of migrants, raised troops to Jiang Han, crossed the cloud dream four times, and repeatedly defeated strong enemies. However, after more than a year, the northern expedition was difficult to succeed, and if Wuguan had divine help, Lantian surrendered without a fight. ”

Then he punished the usurper, killed the traitors, pacified the people, reorganized the program, and put the chaos in order, so that the disciples of Confucius returned to the court. He also cultivates himself internally to reassure the people, and externally gives to the people and can help the people, which can be described as a benevolent prescription! ”

"Ge Wu Zhizhi, Xiu Qi and Zhiping are all ready, look at the world, and be the only regent who can be the king of the inner and outer saints."

Reasoned and well-founded, Shusun Tong took the lead, and the Confucians, who were fighting for half a while, finally reached a consensus, and they all agreed:

"The regent is indeed a saint!"

And the rule of the sages, isn't this the scene of the rule of three generations imagined by the Confucian scholars, and it is also the dream that they have been tirelessly dreaming......

"Isn't it our pursuit for hundreds of years to rule the country by a saint like Duke Zhou?"

"Why is it happening today, but you are so worried?"

After being understood by Lu Jia's words, the atmosphere became warm, and the Confucian students began to get excited, and their enthusiasm for this matter was unprecedentedly high!

They want to get involved, make a name for themselves, and make a name for themselves.

"The regent is not just a saint admired by Confucianism......"

Lu Jia's mouth was dry, but he was relieved, he had not been busy in vain in the past few months, he had learned a lot, and he was not as narrow-minded as ordinary Confucian scholars, and could not tolerate other schools.

Therefore, Lu Jia knows very well that the rule of a sage is not only a long-cherished wish of Confucianism, but also the dream of a hundred schools of thought.

Dao, Fa, and Mo, each school has also launched its own image of saints, and these saints embody the highest ideals of each school......

The Mo family is an unconditional sacrifice of their own school of thought for the whole world, they advocate Dayu, no self-interest and special benefit of others, even if it is a bald head, walking on a bad heel to control the water for the world, as if there has never been a personal selfish desire, the body, mind and soul, all dedicated to the world.

Mozi said that only such a person can be called holy!

After Heifu entered Xianyang, he behaved wholeheartedly for the public, had no selfish desires, and even came out with the declaration of "no self", and treated the new old Qin people equally, and even reused Zhang Cang, Lu Jia, Xiao He, Shusun Tong, Han Xin, a large number of Kwantung people, not to mention, he still saved the last few disciples of the Mo family.

Legalism also has saints, their saints are based on the law, Han Feizi advocates an absolute autocratic dictatorial monarch, both ruthless and scheming, with the cooperation of magic and superb strategy, in order to dominate the world, and finally body heaven and legislation.

And the true face of Heff, isn't that?

Although each family thinks that the saint of the other party is not a true saint, coincidentally, except for the saint in Zhuangzi's mind, who is too born and Heifu is not touched, he almost occupies all the ideal "saints" of the rest of the princes.

This is the reason why Lu Jia believes that Heifu is the main one and chooses to serve him.

"Such a saint can be the master of the world, so there are three princes, and the regent is in the position of the master."

"The regent not only wants to calm the world again, but also inherit the learning of three generations, inherit the law of Qin, and gather the wisdom of hundreds of schools of thought to educate the world!"

The monarch and the sage will be one, the political ideals of the hundred schools will converge in him alone, and the peace and prosperity of Zhuxia will be established through him.

This is something that Qin Shi Huang has not been able to do, and it is also the biggest regret of people of insight in the past ten years.

And the descendants of the regents, whether they are still "regents" or really become the sons of heaven and emperors, are all given the title of "after the saints"!

The more Heifu maintains the image of a "saint" to the extreme, the more he can be respected by all the sons and hundreds of schools and people all over the world, and the more beneficial it will be to his descendants......

This is the political blueprint that Lu Jia drew up for Heifu, which is slightly different from Shusun Tong's idea!

"Today, I know why Lu Jun is doing the usual."

When the Confucians were excitedly consulting the classics and contributing their wisdom to the regent's sealing ceremony, Shusun Tong came over and waved at Lu Jia, impressed.

Sage, tsk, this is a rainbow high-level fart.

"Uncle and grandson are not bad."

The two laughed, and at this moment, a messenger outside came to announce a big news:

"The regent knighthood has been decided!"

Everyone turned their heads and waited with bated breath, and Lu Jia even secretly hoped in his heart: "Don't be Bao Gong......"

"The knighthood is: Xia Gong!"
