"Slaves are not sleepy." Shen Wuhua said in a low voice.

"Well, let's talk?" Li Xinchen put down the book, otherwise it would be a matter of letting a woman watch him read a book next to him, "I haven't read a book for a long time, I really miss the beginning, at least I can read a book on Xiao Mugong's bookshelf for more than half a day." ”

Although Li Xinchen has 5,000 years of knowledge about the whole of China, these are just too many and too complicated, and many of them may not be applicable to this era, so Li Xinchen still needs to be able to link with this era, and the books that I read in the study of Xu Ling and Xiao Maha and others at that time were actually a very good medium. Even some of the art of war and the strategies for governing the country that Li Xinchen learned from them have indeed been applied in practice.

This is also why when Li Xinchen feels that he is becoming more and more unable to grasp the pulse of the times, while trying to let himself walk more, he once again picked up the book.

It does make sense to read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles.

"The slave maid of the Book of Shang Jun has also read it," Shen Wuhua said in a low voice, "Shang Jun can single-handedly promote the reform of Western Qin and achieve the dream of strengthening Qin, which is indeed worthy of admiration." ”

Shang Jun is Shang Ying, and the Book of Shang Jun is said to have been written by Shang Ying, and the record is naturally the theory of Shang Ying's legalists. In later generations, although Li Xinchen hastily read this book, he found that there were many deficiencies in the book, and in this era, he could see the complete version, Li Xinchen naturally did not mind studying the works left by the Shang monarch who had changed the entire Warring States pattern and had a profound impact on the process of unification of China.

"Oh?" Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows.

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Huang Laozhi was pursued to recuperate, and later Confucianism ascended to the throne, and the imperial court "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", which completely established the important position of Confucianism in the rule of the imperial court. And it is precisely for this reason that the rest of Huang Laozhixue, Legalism, Moism, etc. began to fade out of people's sight.

Now with the continuation of the troubled times, the situation of Confucianism dominating the world has naturally been torn apart, the fashion of seclusion in the late Wei and Jin dynasties, in fact, there is quite a Taoist "escapism" meaning, not to mention the Northern and Southern Dynasties period with obvious peace and anti-war meaning of Buddhism began to prevail, the Southern Dynasty is of course "four hundred and eighty temples", and the Northern Dynasty is not bad in this, the famous Mogao Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes and other magnificent Buddhist grottoes in later generations are all built in the Northern Dynasties period.

It is precisely with this opportunity that all kinds of doctrines naturally raise their heads again, otherwise it may not be so easy for Li Xinchen to find an intact copy of the Book of Shang Jun.

But even so, Shen Wuhua, a woman from a Taoist family, was able to read "The Book of Shang Jun", which did surprise Li Xinchen, of course, if you think about it again, Li Xinchen's ability was only taken from the library of the palace, and Shen Wuhua has been the crown princess for ten years, and it is not surprising that the books in the palace have the opportunity to be contacted, and it is not surprising that they have read it.

However, the slave and maid thought that the Shang king's approach was too strong, and whether it was a king or a courtier, it was impossible to really completely restrict anything in life with law and discipline, and in this case, morality would lose its own value of existence. In contrast, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and naturally there can be no law and discipline that can really be perfect. Shen Wuhua pondered and said, "Therefore, how can we use Legalist doctrine to establish a complete legal framework that can restrict people's behavior, but fill it with softer Huang Lao and Confucian learning, so as to play the role of unifying the people." ”

Li Xinchen looked at Shen Wuhua with some surprise, in other words, this is the policy of "Outer Confucianism and Internal Law", using the law to formulate the bottom line, using morality and education to improve the overall quality of the people to keep them away from touching the bottom line, and then achieve social harmony, in history, the Sui and Tang dynasties have begun to study and promulgate written laws, although on the surface it is still to govern the country with Confucianism, but in fact it has evolved into the pattern of Outer Confucianism and internal law, and this pattern has continued until the Ming and Qing dynasties.

This is actually a new idea for people who are groping their way forward in the turbulent times. You must know that in another time and space, it took several generations of efforts for such ideas to finally be implemented in the court.

It is no wonder that Emperor Yang of Sui, who has always been above the top, is also quite fond of Shen Wuhua, this woman is obviously not just a simple poetry of resentment.

"Interesting," Li Xinchen laughed, which also made Shen Wuhua breathe a sigh of relief, "Then do you think Shang Jun's death is self-inflicted, or is it regrettable?" ”

Shen Wuhua was stunned for a moment, Li Xinchen's question was actually very tricky, and from her point of view, she had to answer cautiously: "The slave thinks ······ From the perspective of the Qin State, the death of the Shang monarch is indeed regrettable, and the death of the famous minister because of the contradictions and conflicts between the monarch and the minister was also a huge loss for the Qin State itself at that time. But at that time, King Qin Hui wanted to appease those old nobles in the country and establish his authority, and Shang Jun was the one who had to be removed, so King Qin Hui must also have his own helplessness and reluctance. For Shang Jun himself, dying from the laws he made was not just a death for his beliefs, but also a kind of martyrdom, for himself, a person whose life goal was to spread the Legalists and promote the reform of the law, changing a country and dying of his own ideals can be regarded as a well-deserved death. ”

"Good!" Li Xinchen stroked his palms and smiled, "It makes sense, a good one died well!" ”

Shen Wuhua hurriedly bowed his head: "The slave is just talking nonsense, Your Majesty forgives you." ”

"Everyone has their own opinion on different things, and your opinion itself can be justified by itself, and there is nothing wrong with it," Li Xinchen said with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen knocked on the "Book of Shang Jun": "What's more, in my opinion, Shang Jun's life was magnificent, and his final death may be a pity, but it is indeed a well-deserved death, not to mention that this does not prevent him from still being praised by future generations, and even for centuries." ”

Shen Wuhua looked at Li Xinchen in astonishment, His Majesty is very young, so he is willing to think about many novel ideas, which is normal, but Shen Wuhua never thought that Li Xinchen was willing to echo or even accept his ideas.

This gave her a faint feeling of finding a soulmate, which was stronger than when Li Xinchen chanted "a river of spring water flows eastward" on top of the small building.

Ten years of cold palace is undoubtedly a heavy injury to Shen Wuhua.
