"The road is also a trip to the world, the world is for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, and the belief and harmony. Therefore a man does not kiss his own kinsman, nor has he only his son; So that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have growth, the widow, the widow, the lonely, the lonely, the disabled, and the sick have all been supported...... It is said to be the same. ”

This is the ideal society that everyone yearns for, so it can only be an ideal.

Legalists put forward the doctrine of law, art, and potential, which is actually a political theory that emphasizes the ability and efficiency of national governance. "Law" and "technique" are important means to maintain "potential", and strict punishment and strict law are the embodiment of the monarch's ability to govern and the guarantee of the effectiveness of the monarch's governance of the country.

"Potential" refers to the power, power, and prestige of the monarch, and the Legalists especially highlight the function of "potential", emphasizing that "potential" is the embodiment of the monarch's ability to govern, and it is also the guarantee of the efficiency of national governance.

The governance theory of Legalism is based on natural human nature, believing that human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and its behavior is only based on interests, and interpersonal relations are also a kind of exchange of interests, and generous rewards and heavy punishments are based on people's profit-seeking nature, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of world governance.

It can be said that on the road of moral cultivation and the pursuit of supreme harmony, Confucianism is rich and unshakable, so it has been sought after by emperors of all dynasties. In terms of national governance, Legalism has incomparable advantages.

"The royal way" and "hegemony" are different governance models of Confucianism and law, and the ideal politics of Confucianism takes benevolence, righteousness and morality as the ruling principle and purpose, which is the "royal road"; The political ideal of Legalism emphasizes efficiency as a political principle and political goal, which is "hegemonic".

However, history has proven that the goal of long-term peace and stability cannot be achieved by merely using "royal road" or merely "hegemony." "The royal road" values virtue and cares about public opinion; "Domineering" attaches great importance to merit and cares about power. However, both of them are beneficial to national governance, so since the Han Dynasty, a pluralistic and integrated governance system of Confucianism and law has been formed, and the "royal road" and "hegemony" must be used together, laying the basic model of ancient Chinese state governance.

Confucianism is "righteousness", Legalism is "profit", so righteousness and benefit are indispensable.

This is the essence of the "inner saint and outer king"!

To some extent, Confucianism is not as conservative as it seems, and it is extremely open and inclusive. Aware of its own shortcomings, it immediately absorbed and supplemented it, and the so-called Legalism is now just a title, which has long been absorbed by Confucianism and merged into one.

So, will Confucianism realize its own shortcomings in professional knowledge and absorb the natural sciences?

No one knows, and no one can decide.

Whether it is Kong Yingda or Yan Shigu, it is impossible for these great Confucians in the world to make decisions on behalf of Confucianism to do or not, which takes time to test, if it is in favor of Confucianism, no one can oppose it, it will subtly absorb and merge it; If there is a conflict of interest, then it is useless for anyone to say that it will be repulsed......

Therefore, Yu Ming's family couldn't give His Majesty Li Er an answer.

Of course, in fact, His Majesty Li Er didn't care too much about whether it was Confucianism or Legalism, or even Yin-Yang family, vertical and horizontal family, soldier family, and doctor who dominated society, he only looked at whether the ideas of these schools were in line with the interests of the emperor and conducive to his rule.

Confucianism is the foundation of the emperor's governance of the world, so Confucianism has always been dominant.

If there was any school of thought that could replace Confucianism to help the emperor govern the world and maintain his rule, the emperor would never mind what the name of this school was.

His Majesty Li Er felt that Taoism could help him live forever, so he supported Taoism and believed in Taoism. When his son ascended the throne, he found out that all the alchemy techniques and ascension techniques were all deceptive, so he kicked the Taoist far away, which is the reason.

If Taoism can really make the emperors believe in God like the West, and one day they will become immortals and become holy, then look at where there is still Confucianism?

Demand, determine status.

For example, now, His Majesty Li Er feels that the establishment of the academy can cultivate a large number of talents with professional knowledge to flood all over the world, and can help him complete the great cause of Zhenguan and the great hegemony of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of generations, so he agrees with Fang Jun to run this academy.

On the contrary, he must be the first to snuff out Fang Jun's idea, and even sacrifice Fang Jun!

Compared with the great cause of the empire, personal feelings are a fart! Don't say it's Fang Jun, even if it's his own son, he can't kill it!

Therefore, since Fang Jun can imagine that he will show the attitude of attaching natural science to Confucianism to Confucianism through Yu Ming's clan, then His Majesty Li Er will go with the flow and wait and see what happens.

*****

It is the norm in officialdom to hold red and step on black.

Although the Dou family is a relative of the emperor, Queen Taimu has long since passed away, and the Dou family has never had a truly outstanding child who can set up a household, so it is inevitable that he will be down. Although His Majesty Li Er has taken care of the Dou family in terms of his mother's affection, compared with the Fang family, which is in the limelight, how much lower is it?

One is the waning sun, the other is rising, which is better and which is inferior, at a glance.

Therefore, even if the Dou family was mourned, all the officials in the city rushed to mourn, which seemed to be beautiful, and when the Fang family gave birth to Lin'er and held the "100-day banquet", the grand occasion of the princes and princesses, civil ministers and military generals, and officials from the city gathering in the house suddenly made people feel a huge gap......

Fangfu is located in Chongren Fang, close to the east side of the imperial city, because it is close to the palace inside, so the bureaucratic mansions are dense, Shengye, Yongxing and other squares are the princes and nobles, princesses and princes gather, it is the place where Chang'an dignitaries and dignitaries gather, it is extremely prosperous, whenever after the night curfew, the mansions of these princes and princes will be lively all night long, the so-called "one street is divergent, then the two cities are poured, day and night are noisy, the lights are endless, the squares in Beijing, Mo Zhi and the comparison", about so.

In the early morning of the auspicious day, the sun had just risen, and the carriages and chariots on Chongrenfang Street were crowded, and the people who came to the house to rush to the wedding banquet had already arrived early.

Fang Jun stood at the door early in the morning to greet the guests, smiling like a stupid roe deer, his face was stiff, with his physical fitness, his legs were still trembling, but he still had to accompany the smiling face, and those who knew and didn't know had to say hello.

The more such a scene of flowers and cooking oil, the more rude it must be.

In his heart, he scolded the eldest brother who was lazy and hid in the main hall to entertain guests, and just greeted a Lang general from Zuo Wuwei with a smiling face, when he heard a person behind him say respectfully: "In Xia Wuzhou Luo Luyuan, I have seen Erlang." ”

Fang Jun hurriedly turned around and saw that it was a man in his thirties, with a clear appearance and a tall posture, thin cheeks and eyes, and hurriedly raised his hand and said rudely: "It turned out to be Brother Luo's face...... I'm sorry, I'm really a little dizzy today, I really can't remember Brother Luo's name, forgive me, forgive me. ”

That Luo Luyuan himself is a talented scholar, and the prime minister is really an ant-like figure in front of the door, Fang Jun naturally doesn't know him. But if you are someone else, how can you say the last sentence of "look up for a long time", but I never thought that this "notorious" Fang Erlang would be so direct, and his eyes were clear and apologetic, without the slightest contempt and contempt.

If you don't know, you don't know, and you are honest and open.

Luo Luyuan suddenly had a good impression, and his heart was really famous as it was better to meet, if it was really as vain as the rumors in the market, how could he get such favor from His Majesty?

Immediately smiled and saluted: "Erlang is really straightforward, in the next is a person from Wuzhou, this time to Beijing to catch the exam, luckily, was recommended by the Minister of Housing as the order of Bochang County, Shandong, today is to celebrate Erlang happy Lin'er, and secondly, to thank the Minister of Fang for his resignation, and he will be going to work soon." ”

Fang Jun had never heard of this name, but he didn't have any contempt, just for embarrassment: "Brother Luo's heart, the younger brother will accept it with shame." It's just that there are too many guests today, and my father is afraid that he will not have time to meet him, but he will disappoint Brother Luo. ”

Today's wedding banquet in the Fang Mansion, the dignitaries and princes present do not know how many, which one is not allowed to be entertained by Fang Xuanling in person? It is simply impossible to find time to meet such a small official.

That Luo Luyuan was quite cheerful, and laughed: "The prime minister is recommending you, how can you covet this gratitude to Dade below?" When you come down to the house, your mind has arrived, and you have a clear conscience, and it is enough. ”

But a carefree person!

Fang Jun was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a child's head poking out from behind Luo Luyuan, blinking two big black and white eyes, looking at Fang Jun crisply and asking, "I heard that the Fang family's school has no classes, I wonder if Erlang can let me enroll?" ”

This child is delicate and cute, especially the shrewd and clever spirit, which makes people love it when they see it, Fang Jun guessed that this may be Luo Luyuan's nephew, so he asked with a smile: "What's your name?" Your father is about to go away, but why do you want to study in my family's school? ”

The child's expression darkened, and he said, "Father said that Bochang is a bitter cold place, and he is afraid that I will die here, because he wants to leave me in the capital...... Oh, my name is Luo Bing Wang. ”

Fang Jun nodded, and just wanted to say a good name, when his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked straight at the child: "Goose ......"
