20. Liu Taichu counterattacked
"The victory and defeat have been divided, the reason has been clear, and if we continue to talk about it, wouldn't it be a strong word!" At this time, the emperor felt that Liu Pi had entered the link of stalking, and he couldn't help but be very angry, patted the armrest of the couch, and stood up.
Long Yan was furious, and the people around him all pleaded guilty in unison.
But Liu Pi stood in the middle of the two pavilions, with no frightened look, and then he clutched his chest and inhaled heavily, which was a quirk of his, which he had since he swallowed relics in the Ximing Temple in the Taofen Shed
When the situation stabilized, Liu Pichang exhaled, and the whistle was shocking, and then he quickly asked Li Chun first: "His Royal Highness the county king said that the county system is good, and the examples cited are all Han Han Wuhan Xuan, but it can't explain the doubts at all. Because what Pi is asking is, why did Qin II die? And it's not Han. ”
Li Chun began to think temporarily.
And Liu Zongyuan looked at Liu Bi and thought in his heart, could it be
"Fang Cai Liuzi said that the people of Huhai were against the court, not the county, so why did the people oppose the court? That's right, what Jia Changsha said in the article couldn't be clearer, because Qin Renyi didn't do anything, and the offensive and defensive forces were different. Liu Pi seemed to be spewing out everything at once, and he didn't give Liu Zongyuan and Li Chun a chance to counterattack at all, "This potential is what Liu Zi said. Qin has only been in the world for a few years, but he frantically enslaved the people, intimidated them with cruel punishments, used county officials to exploit and poison the people's goods, and served the emperor alone, set up palaces, repaired mausoleums, and even the people holding hoes, sinners who fought wars, and heroes in the eastern part of the country, all united to destroy the world of Qin. Liu Zi said that the feudal princes couldn't be saved, so the counties couldn't be saved, why? Don't the officials of the county magistrates know that the people have reached the point where they can no longer bear it? Without him, because the Qin system does not give counties the power to make decisions, and those ministers under the Qin system who should have decision-making power and should help the emperor manage people have lost their hearts in order to flatter the emperor. So even if the magistrate of the county has a good proposition and a good way, he can instinctively save Li Yuan from hanging upside down, but he is not authorized by the imperial court to exercise the power at all, he knows that it is wrong but cannot change it, and he knows that it is right but cannot implement it, and he sees that the people are resentful of the subordinates, and the county is afraid of the upper - the king of Guangling said that dividing the princes will make the people be mutilated by the princes and the court is powerless to change, so under the county system, the emperor cruelty to the people and the county is equally powerless to change, so that the water eventually capsizes the example, is it not blind? ”
"Since the world is all the emperor's, how can the emperor not cherish the people as much as he cherishes his own property." Li Chun asked indignantly.
"Isn't this the same for the princes? Is there an essential difference between the family and the family? The king of Guangling only said that the Han and Han martial arts affairs, but avoided talking about the affairs of Huhai and Sui, only said that his family was good in the world, but he said that the princes' families were good, this is not a hard-won Taoism, this is the real strong words! Liu Bi's words made Li Chun extremely angry, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.
Before Liu Zongyuan could say anything, Liu Bi immediately said to him: "The first emperor abolished feudalism and ran counties and counties, his original intention was to private the world, and he could hand over his descendants to the king. However, the death of Qin Xingjun II shows that it is not only a political problem, but also a reason why the system is not good. Liu Zi thinks that it is public, is it difficult to understand is not a biased view? Liu Zi laughed at the people of the world who chased the rule of three generations as an ancient thing, but Liu Zi himself blindly believed that the Qin system was not lost, how could it not be a contradiction! ”
In the Luoxia Pavilion, the emperor on the rope bed trembled with anger.
But Liu Bi didn't care at all, he continued to pursue and said: "Liu Zi's argument shows that he doesn't know the pros and cons. I only see the disadvantages of feudalism, but I don't see the interests of feudalism, I only see the interests of the county, and I don't see the disadvantages of the county at all. When the Yan thieves were in rebellion, Liu Zi only saw the danger of Emperor Xuanzong ordering the sons to go out of the cabinet and guard the towns, but he couldn't see that the Yan thieves finally relied on the power of the feudal Dao Fang Town to calm down. It is precisely because the Son of Heaven can give up the idea of private world, depose the treacherous and evil, and appoint the sages to the towns and important places, so as to get rid of Di Yi, calm the civil strife, and Zhongxing is in sight. Liu Zi also said that feudalism is not the will of the saint, but it is the power to make it happen, but the king of Wu did not get off the car and gave a different surname, and the Duke of Zhou hung his second uncle and built relatives, as well as the well field, the school, the patriarchal law, the military and the government, which is not out of the will of the saint? In fact, whether it is feudal or Jingtian, the deep meaning of the sage, in fact, there is only one goal, that is, to calm the world, which does not conflict with the 'potential' in Liuzi's mouth. ”
"During the Tangwu period, there were 3,000 princes, so they could only be feudal; By the time of the Zhou Wu Revolution, there were still 800 princes, so they could only be feudal; By the time of Qin, there were no princes, so the county system was established to unify the country, which shows that if the trend is like this, why force the law of the ancestors? Liu Zongyuan argued.
"Liu Zi only talks about the past life, why don't you talk about the current life, why don't you talk about the future life?"
"How dare Liu Zi be a sage, and never dare to talk about the present world and future generations."
"What is a sage? A sage is a person who dares to open up the heavens and advocate alone, so that he can call himself. In Liu Zi's literary theory, it is only said that under the feudal system, the princes take hereditary as the reason, so they do not let the sages govern, so that the sages can not stand on their own, but according to the humble opinion, the sages can still travel around the world, retire and accept their children, set up the lintel, although they can't be self-reliant, at least they can be self-revealed, so we can still respect him as a teacher after a hundred generations. However, under the county system, with officials as teachers, the world only serves the will of one person, and only serves the words of one person, so how can we talk about the comeback of sages? I asked Liu Zi, if Confucius and Mengzi were born in the county world, the imperial examination was not ranked, the state was cramped, and the surname was annihilated, I am afraid that he would not even be able to show himself, so how could he be self-reliant. Liu Zi only said that the sage had the wisdom to follow the trend, but did not admit that the sage had the courage to open up the heavens and advocate alone, which is not the meaning of the sage, but also said that there is no sage today, is it not wrong. ”
Liu Zongyuan couldn't answer.
The emperor's heart gradually became clogged and worried.
"According to Liuzi's opinion, people can only succumb in front of the situation, so please ask Liuzi to try to talk about the current situation?" Liu Pi began to get to the heart of the debate.
For Liu Bi's request, not only Liu Zongyuan, but everyone in the Luoxia Pavilion was shocked.
The current situation is very objective: the emperor completely relies on Jiannan, Huaiyang, Fengxiang, Xingyuan and many other Fang towns loyal to the imperial court to solve internal and external worries - the emperor is definitely not at the level of Qin Shi Huang, he can't do the order to the point where the world dare not obey, let alone restore the county system, this is the real potential, if Liu Zongyuan forcibly denies this, then it will go against his own view of "following the trend", and he can only fall into the trap of logical contradictions, and be chased and beaten by Liu Bi.
At this time, Liu Zongyuan was speechless, he sighed leisurely, he understood - behind Liu Bi, there is more than one master to point out, and an extremely mature theory has been formed, although he is very conceited of his talent, but he can't help but admit that the other party has adopted the strategy of luring the enemy deep and completely seized his flaws.
"So please benefit Dr. Liu, there are good and bad things in the county and feudalism, and the political system needs to be reformed to conform to the general trend, what should we do?" Liu Zongyuan is more interested in this now.
"Politics and peace, how can this be said by you!" In the Luoxia Pavilion, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, he was annoyed and angry, and he took the case.
