Chapter 285: The Way of Statecraft (3)
Huang Chengyan added: "After the destruction of Qin, Gaozu abolished Qin's harsh law and the people's 'three chapters of the law'. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The law of only three chapters is not enough to prevent adultery, so Gao Zu ordered Xiao He to add three chapters of "Household Law", "Xing Law" and "Stable Law" on the basis of Qin's six laws, which are combined into nine chapters, called "Nine Chapters of Law". In order to supplement the shortcomings, Ling Shusun Tong made 18 articles of Guan Chaoyi's special law "Pang Zhang Law", Han Xin made "Military Law", and Zhang Cangding "Statute". Emperor Houwu ordered Zhang Tang to make twenty-seven articles of "Yue Palace Law" and Zhao Yu to make six articles of "Dynasty Law". These two regulations, together with the "Nine Chapters of Law" and the "Side Chapter Law", have a total of 60 articles, which are collectively known as Han laws. Although Emperor Wu practiced 'deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone', he used the "small words and great righteousness" of the "Spring and Autumn Period" as the basis for judicial trials, especially as the basis for deciding difficult cases. Based on the principle of 'conviction based on heart', the offender's subjective motive is in line with the Confucian spirit of 'loyalty and filial piety'. ”
Liu Chan said with a smile: "Needless to say, the Qin Empire reused the Legalist family to govern the country. Unexpectedly, after the Han Dynasty destroyed the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the law of governing the country was actually 'Yang Confucianism and Yin Law', or 'Confucianism and Expression Law'. In this way, Legalism is the school relied on by the Qin and Han dynasties, the important code of governing the country, and the famous instrument of unifying the people. The Qin and Han dynasties carried forward the past and forged ahead into the future. The difference is that the Qin openly reused Legalism, while the Han Ming Dynasty was dominated by Confucianism and secretly supplemented by Legalism. ”
Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan looked at each other and smiled, and praised in unison: "The children can be taught!" ”
Liu Chan glanced at Huang Chengyan and Yan Shanxue, bowed deeply to them, and said with emotion: "I once learned about the Mo family from Master Wolong. I was deeply moved by the deeds of the giants, ink masters, ink heroes, and Tian Heng's 500 Mo family heroes, and since then the Mo family has become my favorite sect. Because the Mohists represent the common class, they advocate love, virtue, and non-aggression. In my opinion, the essence of it lies in the strong humanistic spirit of public and loving the world, loving the world, obeying the heavens and people, selfless benevolence and righteousness; the second is the righteousness and injustice of the attack embodied in the non-offensive, and the pacifist spirit of the righteous and the unrighteous and the unjust; the third is the great spirit and character of frugality, hard work, hardship, self-reliance, working all day long, and endless life; Fourth, the spirit of saving the world by worrying about the country and the people, helping the suffering, and benefiting the world. Based on these feelings, I am willing to be a man who works for the public in the world and eliminates harm for the benefit of the world! In the future, in places where the law cannot govern, to deal with lawbreakers, you will have to rely on the power of the Mojia knights. ”
Huang Chengyan and Yan Shanxue were moved to tears, and they vaguely felt that their perseverance in the concept of hard work and absolute Mohism would be carried forward one day.
Liu Chan changed his words and said: "However, the shortcomings of the Mo family are that their thinking is too extreme, narrow and domineering. Because the world is rich and colorful, people have different kinds of ideas, and it is impossible to demand that all of them be done uniformly, but only to guide them. For example, Shang Tong theory advocates that people's views should be the same, obey the orders of superiors at all levels, and maintain the absolute authority of the monarch, and no one can oppose it, thus obliterating people's independent thinking and personality development. In addition, the proposition of strong use in this section, as Taishi Gong said, is trivial and ancient, and it is difficult to follow. ”
Liu Chandao: "Taoism takes 'Tao' as the core, believes that the way of heaven does nothing, advocates the Tao and the law of nature, and proposes political and military strategies such as governing by inaction, defending male and female, overcoming rigidity with softness, and combining rigidity and softness. Its essence has several aspects, the unity of nature and man, the harmonious development of man and nature; Respect individuality, return to simplicity, and have no quarrel with the world; To be humble and quiet, not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself; rule by inaction, do not act recklessly, do not act arbitrarily, do not violate the Tao, and think that there is something that is in line with the Tao; If you govern a big country, you should be cautious and act on standby; Govern the country with righteousness, use troops with oddity, and take the world with nothing. To do nothing to follow the way is right, to be resourceful for strange; Those who make good use of people should be low-key, and be kind to others will be in a 'low position' situation. Those who are in a low position are like the valley of a mountain, and the water will live in a low place, so everyone will follow it, which can be said to be inevitable. The disadvantage of Taoism is that it advocates absolute nothingness, opposes all actions and progress, and even fantasizes about regressing to a small country and a widowed society ruled by a rope. Its passivity and seclusion go to extremes, so that the world will not be able to progress, and people will return to the state of primitive society. ”
Liu Chan slowed down for a moment and said, "As for the advantages and disadvantages of the other factions, they are generally the same as Taishi Gong's opinion. ”
Pang Degong's eyes flashed, and he asked meaningfully: "Heir, what is your attitude towards the hundred schools of thought?" ”
Liu Chan stared at the sky, his eyes were firm, and the colors flowed, and he said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of thought contended and the Warring States were in full bloom, and the ideological systems of law, Confucianism, ink, Taoism, soldiers, and yin and yang were initially formed. ”
"All the sons and hundreds of schools of thought are the treasures of my Chinese civilization and the treasures of Chinese thought, all of which are indispensable! There can be no distinction between the inferior and the inferior! We must no longer engage in the stupid act of burning books and pit Confucianism by Qin Shi Huang, the exclusive respect for Confucianism by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the deposition of a hundred schools! Liu Chan's tone was firm and categorical.
Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Zhao Yun and others stared intently at the little Liu Chan, looking excited, excited, and respectful.
Huang Chengyan said: "Heir, tell me about your specific measures. ”
Liu Chan thought for a while, his tone was as loud as iron, and said: "Respect the sons and revive the hundred schools." Eclectic and inclusive. Take the essence and remove the dross. Criticize and absorb, the past is used for the present. Learn from others' strengths, inherit and develop. Keep pace with the times, reform the old and make the new! ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked, the wind and clouds changed, and the sky and the earth changed color!
"That's a great story!" Someone shouted excitedly, and everyone woke up like a dream, thunderous cheers, and applause lasted for a long time
Liu Chan continued: "Cultivate oneself with Confucianism, Mohistism, Taoism and other schools, and govern the country with Legalism. Based on the rule of law of the Legalists, supplemented by the moral education of Confucianism and the righteousness of the Mohists, supplemented by the Taoist conformity to nature, the laws of the Yangyang family, the combination of vertical and horizontal families, the debate of famous scholars, the strategy and tactics of soldiers, and the essence of farming with the people, we will learn from the strengths of others, unite as one, and form the Chinese civilization of Datong! ”
The applause of the crowd was even more enthusiastic!
"Of course, the 'law' of 'rule of law' not only follows the basic norm of 'equality before the law,' but also restricts the power of the head of state and other officials at all levels, so that their power operates within the legal track and power cage, and protects the rights and interests of people from all walks of life. In short, it is to treat all schools of thought fairly, justly, and openly, take their essence, remove their dross, learn from others' strengths, brainstorm, carry them forward, and use them for my use.
"In the famous mountains and rivers, the establishment of three religions and nine streams, the headquarters of hundreds of schools, and recruiting disciples. In the capital, the three teachings and nine streams, the hundred schools of thought, the Tai Academy, named the Law School, the Mo College, the Confucian College, the Military Academy, the Famous College, the Taoist College, the Buddhist College and other such educational and academic institutions. Extension institutions have been set up in various localities as important bases for teaching, educating people, researching, and developing various theories. It is also necessary to hold various and colorful activities such as competitions, debates, and speeches on a regular basis, and to carry out the practice of opening up the ranks of scholars, and to recruit elite people from various factions to fill the government offices at all levels and contribute to the country. In short, it is to do everything possible to keep all sects and factions to keep pace with the times and prosper! Liu Chan was excited, and threw out all his thoughts.
Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Zhao Yun and others stood up excitedly, and they all looked at Liu Chan intently, as if looking at heaven and man, their eyes were full of joy and sincerity.
"Sons are very fortunate! Hundreds of schools are fortunate! Everyone was so excited that they shouted in unison, and the sound was earth-shattering, reaching into the sky. (To be continued.) )
