Chapter 97: The Premise (Chapter 96)
The shogunate, like the palace, also has a bright hall, a middle court, a room, a clip, etc., and when Xiong Jing has not been summoned, there is already a lot of noise in the sandwich. The place where the hundred schools of thought in the Jixia School Palace contend, and the place where the world thinks about the dynasty, even if this matter is not as good as before, the internal controversy is still endless. Whether to use Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Moism, Yang, or Light and Heavy ......, the doctors all shouted their own ideas and refuted the claims of others.
The largest number of them is naturally Confucianism. Qi and Lu border, there are not many Confucian scholars in the Qi State, and Chun Yuyue also made a school palace sacrificial wine, and of course they are also the people who support Chu Zheng the most. Confucianism has been constantly transforming for hundreds of years, because the world is constantly changing. The increasingly harsh general warfare has made the livelihood of the people worse, and the fate of the war is like a mustard, and the expectation of the monarch's 'benevolence' has surpassed 'etiquette'.
'The words of the world do not belong to Yang, that is, to Mo. The Yang family advocates not plucking a hair, and the Mo family is still the same in the world. The former are propertied people, believing that it is better to not support the so-called 'interests of the world' than to invest their wealth in war; the latter are proletarian people, and it is better for everyone to love the world than to fight endlessly, and there will be no more conquests. The two families were just as anti-war and war-weary as Zhuzi.
At this time, the princes were pitiful to the common people, hated the king, and most believed that human nature was inherently good, but after nearly a hundred years, the princes finally found that 'this people are not good'. The people used every means to escape taxes, servitude, and conscription, so that the country was short of money and money, and there was no army to build cities and no soldiers to conquer. As a Confucian, Xunzi finally reversed Mencius's theory of goodness and said that "human nature is evil, and its good is hypocritical".
After entering the Qin Dynasty, Xunzi began to respect the politics of the Legalist family, praising the Qin State Qian's people are simple, their vocal music is not dirty, their clothes are not bad, and they are very afraid of being obedient, and the ancient people are also. Compared with the common people of the six countries of the Kwantung region, especially the common people of Linzi who played the flute and drum, played the piano and played the building, fought cocks and lackeys, and bowed to the six games, the Qianshou of the Qin State was not only simple but also obedient. Since then, one branch of Confucianism has merged with Legalism and has become the basis of later Confucianism and internal law.
Qi Ru completely disagreed with Xunzi's evil human nature and the monarch-oriented new Confucianism. They are still stuck in the previous stage, and they strongly demand the king's 'benevolence' of the people's Confucianism. The political system of the Chu State does not seek 'benevolence', Xiong Jing worships Kong Qian as the prince, but he is already asking for 'courtesy'. This is a real 'etiquette', not the kind of fake 'etiquette' that requires the courtiers to observe the 'etiquette', but they themselves are free from the 'etiquette'.
Harmony and difference are the pursuit of Confucianism: there are indeed hierarchies between people, but nobles must not ignore the life and death of ordinary people just because they are nobles, and kings must not infringe on the interests of nobles just because they are kings. Mutual respect at all levels, self-denial and reciprocation between others, this is harmony, and at the same time, benevolence.
Measured by Confucius's Confucianism, the current Chu government is already Confucianism. The interests of the king, the nobles, and the common people are all reflected in the 'Ancient Dynasty'. For the Qi State, which was completely divided between the upper and lower classes, Chu Zheng was tantamount to a glue, which could bind more than four million Qi people together.
This is the case with Confucianism. They even mentioned the defeat just now, and they also stood on the walls to watch during the war. The 230,000 Qi army, mainly fighting with the Chu army, was only 50,000 people, and the left and right armies either collapsed in a battle or fled without a fight, why is this so, because the Qi country is not in harmony, the monarch and the ministers are not in harmony, the nobles and the lowly are not in harmony, and the soldiers are not in harmony.
The Confucian scholars chattered and recited old jokes from hundreds of years ago, and the doctors present immediately laughed, and then refuted them together. While the rebuttal was raging, the confessor came out: "The king, please ask the wise men to see you." ”
Every doctor asked for an appointment, but Chun Yuyue had just come early. Xiong Jing simply allowed these doctors to meet together, saving trouble. Because he has always been close to Chu, Chun Yuyue thought that he could get a separate audience from the king of Chu, but he didn't expect the king of Chu to give face, and his joy couldn't help but dim.
The sun had set to the west, and the shogunate tent of the Shogunate of the Armor Mighty looked a little solemn. The noisy and happy doctors couldn't help but restrain their words and smiles, and when they stepped into the tent, they bowed their heads and said deeply, "The ministers have seen the king. ”
"No courtesy." With a childish but calm voice, this was the first time that the doctors had come into contact with Xiong Jing, and some bold people couldn't help but look up. I saw a young man in a leather suit without a black face sitting on the throne, with stacks of documents piled up on the right side on the red and black desks in front of him, and feathers, decrees, and pen and ink on the left. An old temple man and two historians stood beside him with their hands down. Closing the document he was looking at on the case, he looked at it with a clear gaze.
"Why are you waiting to see?" Xiong Jing looked at the doctors in front of him and asked a little knowingly.
"I'll wait for ......" said Dr. Gan to sell his statecraft. Everyone spoke at the same time, and no one could sell it for a while.
"Chun Yu Yue, you are sacrificial wine. You say it first. Xiong Jing named Chun Yuyue and asked him to say it first.
"King Yu:" Chun Yu Yue coughed and saluted Xiong Jing again. "The king forgives the king of Qi, and the style of this king is also, and we admire it more than once. We also heard that the king wanted to change the law in the Qi country, so I said it. ”
"The king changed the law in Qi country, and he should do the art of lightness and weight," Chun Yuyue's voice just fell, and the light and heavy family spoke first, "Only by doing the art of light and heavy can you take power in Linzi ......"
"Rude!" Xiong Jing was answering with Chun Yuyue, and the light and heavy family suddenly interrupted, and the servant immediately scolded, and then said: "Chase!" ”
As soon as the servant said to expel him, the priest stepped forward to expel the unruly man from the tent. When the debate in the school palace is urgent, he will even scold, how can there be any courtesy, this person hurriedly said: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, I am speaking to the king, what is wrong?" ”
"Tell the king, if you are rude, but if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark, please forgive the king for his sins and listen to his words." Chun Yuyue is the wine sacrifice of the palace, standing in the position of the palace, and opening his mouth to intercede for this person.
Xiong Jing didn't like the light and heavy family, the light and heavy family was like a harvester, harvesting the fruits of merchants and ordinary people again and again. It's just that he doesn't like the light and heavy family anymore, and it is also the light and heavy family of the Qi country. Since the law is to be changed in the Qi country, the light and heavy family naturally has the right to make suggestions. In the Qi country, the law change is not led by the Chu people but by the Qi people, otherwise how to maintain the new policy of changing the law?
For this change, the Chu people have sacrificed more than 1,800 people. In the future, in order to maintain the new law reform led by the Chu people, how many more people will die in the Chu people? The interests of the Chu people are paramount! The core of this interest is the blood of the Chu people and the lives of the Chu people. As long as the Qi State could not easily surrender to the Qin State in the future, Xiong Jing did not care how the Qi State changed the law.
Taking a deep breath, Xiong Jing asked Xiang Chun Yuyue: "Is it important to be polite or profitable?" ”
Etiquette or profit, this is a big question. In modern parlance, it's the procedure or the result that matters. Just six words made Chun Yuyue think for a long time, and he had to say: "Etiquette is also serious." ”
"Chase." Xiong Jing didn't look at it, and said directly, and the light and heavy family was immediately driven out by the armor bearer, and the breathing of the doctors in the big tent tightened.
"If you don't see each other, is it all because of the law?" Xiong Jing looked at everyone.
The Jixia School Palace became famous in later generations, and many of their classics have been annihilated for more than 2,000 years. It was not until the westerly wind in modern times that the hundred schools of pre-Qin were once again enlightened by scholars. This is the most brilliant moment of the flower of China, and it is also the moment when the world's corporal people are the most free in thinking. Although, against this gorgeous background, the city is full of the bones of the nobles and commoners.
Only when the etiquette collapses and the music is bad can there be a hundred schools of thought, but the etiquette collapses and the music makes the murder of the city. The ideal of the sons was to restore order to the world and save the nations from destruction. Confucianism is retro, and if he wants to re-establish the system of etiquette and law, Confucius traveled around the world; Legalism attaches great importance to the present, and 'the ancients competed for morality, the Middle Ages pursued wisdom, and today competed for strength'.
Seeking truth from facts, using reason to understand, and Legalism is not wrong, this is indeed the ultimate solution to stop the war in the world. But in terms of sensibility, if Xiong Jing and even all the Chu people want to become a submissive Qianshou who only knows how to plough and fight, it is better to give the enemy the fiercest blow and choose a glorious death.
Looking at these doctors in front of him, Xiong Jing unconsciously thought of Zhuzi, and from Zhuzi to the world of war, and finally to the six countries that are now in danger, as well as the Chu people who are 'obeying after the way, and being strong first if there is no way'.
The doctors agreed to interrupt his thoughts, and he smiled lightly: "Since you are here to change the Fa, you should know the precedent of the change." The country of Qi is the country of Qi of the Tian family, and it is also the country of Qi people, so the change of law should be determined by the sects of the Tian family and more than 4 million Qi people. Master Bu and Master Ying are only supervising and supervising the change of the law, not presiding over the change of the law. If the change is successful, Bu Yu and Yingshi will immediately withdraw from Qi and will not occupy an inch of Qi country. ”
"This teacher of benevolence and righteousness is also!" Chun Yuyue couldn't help but praise it, he thought that the Chu State would take this opportunity to ask for a lot of benefits for the Qi State, such as cities, such as gold, who wanted to hear Xiong Jing's meaning, the Chu State didn't want anything.
"From tomorrow onwards, all the expenses of the Yingshi will be taken care of by Qi Guo." Xiong Jing said very seriously. The Chu army consumed 80 tons (6,000 stones) of millet every day, and if the controversy over the reform of the law was protracted, the consumption of grain and straw and expenses would be extremely huge.
"I haven't heard that some people want to go to Chu but go north, and I don't know the geography. Today, the trend of Qin swallowing the Six Kingdoms has been revealed, and the King of Qi is blinded by Hou Sheng, afraid of Qin like a tiger, and breaks his word and fat. Therefore, the law should know the general trend of the world, and do not force the Qi State to form an alliance with Chu and Zhao to resist Qin, but if the Qi State is still pro-Qin and does not have the equipment for the Qin State, it is better to die in Chu today if it does not fight with other days. ”
The request to change the law was so simple that the doctors present couldn't believe it, but the two histories of the left and right around Xiong Jing were being recorded, and they turned to believe it. The king of Chu is not heavy on gifts, and he has no jokes, this should be true.
