701 What is the Dao?

When it comes to the inheritance of the master, no one in the hundred schools of disciples is willing to admit defeat, once they admit defeat, then it means that their faction can't get mixed up, and it also means that they have not comprehended the great truth of the ancestors, and they are embarrassing the sages of their sect.

With more and more of this kind of thing, the contention of a hundred schools of thought has led to the fighting of a hundred schools of disciples, and several major factions of Confucianism and law do not give in to each other, and now that spells have the upper hand, although the other factions will not die down, they are also suppressed more powerfully.

And the reason why the Legalists have the upper hand has a lot to do with their understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

Legalists believe that all things are in the Tao, people are in the law, the earth is the law, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is natural, that is to say, all things in heaven and earth, including the development of human beings, all have laws to follow, and there are laws to follow, so as long as the farmers are constrained, the merchants do business, the soldiers fight, the emperors govern the country, and everyone goes their own way, this is in line with the most basic law of the stable development of all things in heaven and earth.

Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, human beings have begun to stipulate various laws and regulations, and human beings have gradually had rules, and with the constraints of various rules, the moral system of human beings has been slowly established.

Legalism is not a new sect, but a fairly old sect, Legalist disciples study the development of human beings, so they come to a conclusion, that is, the sky does not change, the earth is not easy to rule, only by obeying the inherent laws of heaven and earth, the law in the form of written rules and regulations, then human beings can conform to the law of development of heaven and earth, and finally find the end of the road to access.

But it's not enough to just have the law, what if someone doesn't respect the law?

Therefore, there is a technique, which is to carry out measures, but it is not enough to have a technique, because it is not completely satisfactory to catch the person who violates the law and punish it, so why punish me?

As a result, there has been a trend, the so-called momentum, that is, propaganda and implementation, so that people can understand the law so that people can know the law and abide by the law, and if they violate the law, they will be punished according to law, and the goal of convincing the offender has been achieved.

The law has existed since ancient times, but the two theories of art and potential were born relatively late, and did not appear until the Spring and Autumn Period, the law has the support of art and potential, and after the continuous comprehensive integration of Legalist disciples, a complete set of Legalist theories has finally been formed, and this set of theories was born in the land of Qin and Jin, the world talks about the law, only Qin can help it succeed, and it is precisely because Qin attaches great importance to the rule of law, with the help of strong laws and regulations, so that the people can go their own way, and obtain the results that the Legalists need, and also let the kings of the Qin State get the benefits of magic governance, Therefore, the position of the Legalists in Daqin is now unbreakable.

The successive kings of the Qin State believed that magic was the only way to make Great Qin finally reach the Great Dao, and destroying the Six Kingdoms to dominate the world made Qin Shi Huang more sure that the law was the only guarantee for Great Qin's stable inheritance for eternity.

The Tao Te Ching begins with a cloud: Tao can be Tao, very Tao, name can be named, very famous.

There are different opinions about what the Tao is, and even no one knows, but it can only be understood but not spoken, understand is understand, and if you don't understand it, you won't understand it, but magic does achieve the purpose of making the country strong, so that is to say, magic may be the closest way to the Tao of governance.

And even after thousands of years of inheritance, the rule of magic has gradually become the common cognition of all human civilizations, and magic has once again become a good strategy for governing the country.

It's just that after the current Great Qin experienced the prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because of the different understandings of the Tao, the disciples of the hundred schools of folk did not agree with the concept of Legalism, which led to the bustling attack on Legalism today, and even not only attacking Legalism, but other sects that did not agree with their own ideas were all within the scope of attack, splashing halo to attack all evildoers who did not obey their own school.

Zhang Cang believes that as long as you can find this special power between heaven and earth, you may be able to understand the origin of the Great Dao, and perhaps this is the theoretical basis of the scientific school of Qinghe Hou...... An Yuliang said with a solemn face.

As soon as it came to Qinghehou, the entire carriage was instantly silent.

Everyone's eyes invariably appeared in front of the image of a young man with an indifferent expression, and then instantly thought of the rapid changes in the entire Xianyang, the newspaper, the Academy of Letters, the carriage under his feet, and many new things, and these unreal changes that everyone felt were caused by this young man.

"Science, what kind of school is it, Qinghe Hou is a disciple of the Immortal Family, is science the knowledge of the Immortal Family?" A scribe muttered to himself.

"No, I think that science is the principle of things, but all the laws return to the sect, and any knowledge is studied to the depths, and it is still the road of enlightenment......"

"How can it be a Gewu, turning mud into stone must be an immortal art, is it true that the Divine Thunder Fireworks and Taiyi Divine Thunder are also the art of Gewu, don't you believe it?" Another scribe immediately retorted.

As soon as the two said this, the carriage immediately became noisy again, some agreed with Gewu, some agreed with immortal arts, and some people immediately accused each other and even began to roll up their sleeves with cold eyebrows.

"You are all people with heads and faces in Xianyang, why are you so anxious? The merits of the Academy of Sciences are obvious to all, whether it is Gewu or immortal arts, we are all laymen, and we know what we know, and we don't know what we don't know. How can you argue without knowing that you think that your wisdom and knowledge are stronger than that of Qinghe Houhu? An Yuliang stood up and scolded angrily.

As soon as these words came out, the entire carriage was instantly silent, and all the scribes stopped speaking one by one.

If there is no Qinghe Hou, there will be no happy life for this group of people now, and now all the disciples of the world's hundreds of schools are proud to be able to enter the newspaper hall and the Academy of Letters, even if it is just a scribe who has copied, now walking on the streets of Xianyang, with a badge of the History Museum of the Academy of Literature or other departments on his chest, he will immediately raise his head and think that he is superior, although there is no official, but all ordinary officials must greet each other and call them brothers, not to mention those rich businessmen with thousands of dollars, and they will be treated like guests when they see it. Willing to spend a lot of money, please eat, drink, please sister.

And it was Qinghe Hou who brought all these changes to them.

"Yuliang forgives the sin, and we know the mistake!" Many scribes confessed their mistakes to An Yuliang.

"Although the Marquis of Qinghe is young, but what he has done for the rest of his life can only be expected, the Marquis of Qinghe once said to the old man, I and other hundreds of disciples have nothing to do in Xianyang all day long, bustling, only talk about the fact that it is not beneficial to the country and the people, you need to be a down-to-earth person, do things seriously, and on weekdays you have to sink down and think more about what you have learned to use where you should use it, even if you can't be in the court to assist Your Majesty in governing the country, you can also do something within your power for the businessmen and people, Academy of Sciences, College of Engineering, College of Agriculture, The people in the health center are conscientious and studying, building roads and bridges, developing equipment, planting animal husbandry, and researching prescriptions, and my Faculty of Letters not only has the largest number of people, but also brings together the most knowledgeable celebrities in Daqin, but they can only shout and attack all day long, not only unwise, but also stupid, as the vice president of the Faculty of Letters, and colleagues from other colleges gather, I feel that my face is gloomy, could it be that you have forgotten the change of Li Xiang's book burning that day, if it were not for the righteous words of the Marquis of Qinghe, how could there be the glory of today, if you are still so ignorant, continue like this, Who can guarantee that there will not be another difficulty in burning books, Qinghe Hou can help us once, can he help us a second time, your intentions will be rotten in the end? ”

An Yuliang's words were even more severe, angry and angry, and the carriage continued to gallop forward, but everyone in the carriage blushed and did not dare to say anything more.

The carriage soon followed the Wei River into a wooded field.

The tall and majestic gate of the Faculty of Arts stands quietly among the tall trees, and when winter turns to spring, the whole forest has begun to show a touch of tender yellow color.

The carriage stopped, everyone got off quietly one by one, standing in the open space in front of the door, An Yuliang looked up at the big characters of the Great Qin Academy of Literature on the lintel, and then quietly stared at a pair of couplets on the thick gate post, and after being silent for a long time, he bowed deeply to the door, and a group of scribes behind him also hurriedly bowed respectfully together.

"In order to continue to learn from the saints and open peace for all generations, I hope that you will remember the expectations of the Qinghe Marquis for us!" An Yuliang looked back at the many scribes who were coming out of the academy and preparing to leave in the car, and said lightly.

"Let's keep in mind the teachings of Yuliang Gong!" Everyone gave their hands in unison.

Chen Xu naturally didn't know what happened in Xianyang, and he wouldn't care if he knew.

Many things are constantly changing under his subtle influence, whether it is a newspaper or a literary academy, it is his means to appease the disciples of a hundred schools, as time passes, many ideas of the people will definitely begin to change in the direction he expected, this is the general trend, no one can stop it, not even the emperor can stop it.

If these people's concepts do not change, there will inevitably be a pain like scraping bones and healing wounds, and eventually someone will raise a butcher's knife to tear off these poisonous sore-like disciples of a hundred schools of thought who are not conducive to China's development.
