Chapter 1909: Just use it

A little confused! Zhang Wenguan, Liu Xiangdao, and Hao Chujun, all of whom are full of economic experience, were stunned.

Self-cultivation and Qi family rule the world, is Confucianism has always been the proposition, have become the Confucian mantra, this is undoubted, Taoist thought is impossible to have such a strict plan, everything step by step, level by level to distinguish, Wu Meiniang's sentence is not to use Taoist thought and Legalist thought to promote Confucianism.

But the problem is that self-cultivation and family cultivation are only personal matters, governing the country and the world is the world's business, if there is no later governance of the country and the world, then Confucianism will not agree with this sentence, I can't be an official, I can't get rid of poverty, do I still need to care about morality, can it be said that we can do small things on Confucianism, and big things are done by Taoists and Legalists.

Wu Meiniang's proposition can't tell whether it is to worship Confucianism and suppress Taoism, or worship Taoism and suppress Confucianism. And Cui Jijian and the younger generation of them are in deep thought.

Wu Meiniang glanced at Han Yi slightly, and saw that this guy was neither confused nor contemplative, but was about to fall asleep, if this was before, she would definitely take the initiative to ask, but now she doesn't need to ask, because she already knows Han Yi's intentions.

After a while, Zhang Wenguan looked confused and said, "Please forgive the old minister for being stupid, I don't understand what the queen means?" ”

"Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule their country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families ...... Wu Meiniang first said the original words, and then said: "I agree with this sentence very much, using those people with bad intentions to govern the country will definitely lead to chaos in the world." It can be seen that in Confucianism, personal morality is the basis for entering the office, and a person without virtue, no matter how high his knowledge, cannot let him enter the office. Zhang Wenpu nodded their heads one after another, that's what it means!

Wu Meiniang changed her words and said: "But after entering the office, do people with noble virtues continue to use the way of self-cultivation and family to govern the country and level the world?" I don't think so. Self-cultivation is one thing, and governing the country and leveling the world is another, and it can't be completely mixed up. In the same way, Confucianism has always advocated benevolence in governing the world, which is not wrong, but what is 'benevolence'? Inaction is also 'benevolence'. To truly care for the people, we should give the people more freedom to develop, give full play to their own talents, and create their own wealth, so as to advance themselves. Confucianism advocates that virtue should make the world stable, and that law is 'virtue'. If everyone obeys the law and does not do anything that harms others, isn't that what the saints want? Self-cultivation is a personal character, of course, if everyone is morally noble, then the world is naturally peaceful, but if everyone in the world can be noble, why should the sage divide people into three, six, nine and so on? It can be seen that virtue is the foundation, not the way to level the world, Legalist thought is the way to level the world, and the formation of the law comes from virtue, the two are in the same line, but they are used in different places. And my dynasty is now a big business, people contact with people is very much, contradictions and disputes will naturally increase, pure virtue to educate the people, so that the world is peaceful, this is difficult to do, only the legal system can make the court in the face of many disputes, but also make the world peaceful. After explaining these words, everyone also understands that as Wu Meiniang just said, it is the integration of the three schools of thought to form a new thought, not what to worship or what to do.

More importantly, this is not a pure ideological dispute, but an adjustment made according to the current environment, Confucianism is to be divided into three, six, nine and so on, with a very strict hierarchy, which is obviously not applicable to the current environment, because mercantilism requires equality, and the Shu clan and the aristocracy do business, whether it is based on the noble and the lowly, or the contract.

Zhang Wenguan They are not pedantic Confucians, they are still very enlightened, so they think that Wu Meiniang is very reasonable, not to provoke trouble, she did not belittle any thought, but just let the three schools of thought perform their own duties, and it is to the point.

Confucianism advocates the rule of virtue, but it obviously does not work, the legal system of all dynasties has always existed, but it is packaged in Confucianism, that is, the so-called outer Confucianism and internal law, Wu Meiniang's suggestion is still continuing this proposition.

Moreover, the set of Confucianism cannot be applied to the people of the northwest, people are herdsmen, they have to wander around, farmers are filial piety at home, and the land is on the edge, then of course it is possible, let the herdsmen keep filial piety at home for three years, that is to force people to die!

Liu Xiang said: "The minister is very much in favor of the queen's words, in fact, during the period of my dynasty's self-Zhenguan, many policies contain the idea of ruling by inaction, the queen is talking about this matter today, is it to the court to clearly stipulate all this?" Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "That's right." Zhang Wenguan said: "In the opinion of the ministers, this is not necessary, it will only cause controversy among the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and law, and create contradictions." ”

"But if you don't explain it, it will only create more contradictions." Wu Meiniang said: "Now my Tang Dynasty policy, is different from any dynasty, many phenomena are contrary to Confucianism, but it makes my Tang Dynasty more powerful, that crisis, this contradiction has also appeared, the court in dealing with contradictions, you have to be reasonable, if you follow Confucianism, you must abandon all this, that may break out a new crisis, Taoism's inaction, so that the court can calmly deal with these contradictions, will not cause new contradictions." Again, I think that the rule of inaction is the most difficult to learn, in which the idea is broad and profound, because inaction is not inaction, but to do nothing to win and promising, we often say that a point of hard work and a point of harvest, but the rule of inaction is to require the court to spend the least effort, so that the world is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is naturally the most difficult thing. Therefore, it is necessary to gather the wisdom of the people of the world in order to truly rule by inaction. The imperial court must take the rule of inaction as the central idea of governing the country, in order to attract talented people from all over the world to make suggestions for the rule of the imperial court and make it perfect. "I see!

The fundamental purpose of her doing this is to help clear the way for the rise of businessmen! Cui Jijian suddenly looked at Han Yi on the side and asked, "I don't know what Shang Shuling thinks about this?" "Damn, you bastard likes to disturb people's dreams!

Han Yi opened his eyes and said: "I have always respected the three saints of Confucius and Mencius very much, I think they are all geniuses who are rare to see in ten thousand years, since they are rare to see in ten thousand years, of course they are saints, I have never questioned this, but many people in the world think that I am against Confucianism, which can only mean that those people do not understand me, in fact, I respect these saints very, very much in my heart." Hao Chujun wondered: "Shang Shuling, we are talking about the queen's proposal, who asked you if you respect the saint." Han Yi seemed to have just woken up, not in a state, as if he hadn't heard, and continued: "Why do those people have so many misunderstandings about me? One reason is because those people are stupid. Cui Jijian was displeased and said, "I would like to hear about it." "Who misunderstands Han Yi the most, isn't it his uncles.

You mean Sang scolding Huai! Han Yi said: "Confucius's thought was born in the Spring and Autumn Period, everyone knows that the Spring and Autumn Period is an era of war, so it can also be said that Confucius's thought is from a war era, if I want to be born in that era, I will also think that everyone should know how to be courteous, righteous and honest, know how to respect the old and the young, and everyone should be loyal to Zhou Tianzi, because in this way, the world will not be in chaos, I can live happily, when Confucius said this at that time, it was absolutely absolutely correct." But now it's ....... Zhang Wenguan frowned and said, "Isn't it right now?" Han Yi waved his hand and said, "It's not wrong, it's just that the saint's requirements are a little too low." ”

"Too low?" Zhang Wenguan looked at Han Yi inexplicably.

"That's right!" Han Yi said: "This has a lot to do with human nature, when you don't have food to eat, you feel that you are satisfied with food, when you have food to eat, you will want a piece of meat, and the desire is constantly increasing." When the Confucian saints were in war, he longed for peace, as long as he could be peaceful, then it would be fine. Hao Chujun wondered: "Isn't peace wrong?" ”

"I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm saying it's too low!" Han Yi shook his head and said: "What era is it now, it is the prosperous era of my Tang Dynasty, the world has long been peaceful, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and it has reached the realm expected by Sage Kong." But the problem is that the people are not yearning for peace now, but for a better life, I want to ride a carriage, I want to eat meat, I want to make money, and the court wants to obey the will of the people. The ideals and aspirations of the people of the Tang Dynasty are different from those of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the national conditions are also very different. Therefore, I can't smash the thoughts of a saint on my Datang's head, because many ideas can no longer meet the needs of my Datang, and my Datang is too powerful. Liu Xiang said: "But Lao Tzu is also in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zhou Dynasty." Han Yi said: "So there are many ideas in Taoism that can no longer meet the needs of my Datang, so they advocate not fighting, but now my Datang is developing so rapidly, mainly because of competition, but it is a kind of healthy competition that can promote the progress of the country." The Confucian concept of courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame also applies today, and I especially advocate the honesty of Confucianism. It is true to read the books of the saints, but knowing how to use them flexibly is the key. Didn't Dong Zhongshu also revise many Confucian classics, did he believe in the ancients, he actually did it to make Confucianism suitable for the Han Dynasty at that time, it can be seen that Dong Zhongshu is an understanding person. There is nothing wrong with the thinking of the saints, but the mistake lies in the fact that there are many people who ignorantly follow the words of the saints and do not look at the current environment and the needs of the people. I don't object to any ideas, because I am a businessman and I have not read any books, I think that demand and supply are eternal, and what the country needs, what the people need, then you have to prescribe the right medicine. The reason is very simple, I have big fish and meat every day, you are still fooling me here, listen to me, you will have meat to eat, then I will definitely not take care of you, I am tired of eating meat, why should I listen to you, but if you say, listen to me, you will have a carriage, then I will definitely listen. Confucianism in the world shouts every day about benevolence and benevolence, what is benevolence, not to say that advocating Confucianism is benevolence, benevolence is actually very simple, that is, to make the people's lives better, and better, but not as good as the life of the people of the Zhou Dynasty, if it is still the same as the Zhou Dynasty, then we are a group of courtiers like pigs, developed for thousands of years, and the result is the same as the Zhou Dynasty, we are dead, and there is no point in living. As a courtier, a monarch, a country, and the people, it is the most important thing, the idea is just a tool, suitable for the current national conditions, then use it, if it is not suitable, you don't need it, if you are still entangled in what faction, then you don't talk about any loyalty, patriotism and benevolence, because this is an extremely selfish behavior. Whether the queen's claim is right or wrong must be analyzed from the actual situation. The queen has already clarified her proposition, if we think it is inappropriate, we will directly explain what is inappropriate, why it is inappropriate, don't talk about any Confucianism and Taoism disputes, if you want to fight for this thing, let's have a debate, the political hall is used to talk about political affairs. After these words, Zhang Wen's face was red and white.

Lu Shigua suddenly said: "Shang Shuling is reasonable! We are courtiers, and the primary duty of courtiers is to assist the monarch and govern the country well. The biggest advantage of this rule by doing nothing is freedom, not only to give freedom to the people, but also to give freedom to the imperial court, but there will not be many contradictions, which is conducive to the ideological unity of the country, and Confucianism is relatively conservative, which is not conducive to the current development and the unity of thought. The eldest grandson said: "If the queen only advocates the rule of inaction, then I don't agree, because it is too free, and it is not conducive to the stability and development of the country, but according to the queen's proposition, Confucianism is the foundation, and the rule of inaction is in the middle, and there are Legalist constraints on it. Wang Xuandao said: "Taoism advocates all-encompassing, so Confucianism is naturally inclusive, so the country is governed by benevolence, in fact, it can be regarded as ruling by inaction." Zhang Wenguan nodded and said: "In this case, the imperial court should clearly state that it advocates the idea of governing the country by doing nothing, rather than taking Taoist thought as the ideology of governing the country." Hao Chujun said: "Moreover, we have to reinterpret the rule of inaction." They were afraid that Wu Meiniang would use this to suppress Confucianism, and they now understand that Wu Meiniang's advocacy of rule by inaction is just a slogan, that is, to alleviate the contradictions between the rise of businessmen and other classes.

Wu Meiniang nodded with a smile and said, "This is also my intention, but this requires your talents." Wu Meiniang put forward this proposition, it is really not that she has nothing to do, although she wants to show herself, but also because she sees the needs of national development.

Nowadays, many phenomena are the most opposed by Confucianism, and many policies of the Tang Dynasty contain a lot of Confucianism, isn't this just a self-contradiction, merchants are not allowed to ride horses, in fact, they also come from Confucianism, but this is obviously no longer appropriate.

And this is also why, as long as the policy of the imperial court changes slightly, all Confucian scholars in the world will oppose it, because the laws are all so stipulated, then of course we must oppose it.

The imperial court had to make it clear and that it was suitable for the continued development of the country, otherwise it would split the mind.
