Chapter 338: Can the Emperor Reign Over the World?
Chapter 338: Can the Emperor Reign in the World?
Since the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty in China, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States have debated for thousands of years nothing more than two governing policies.
Governing the country with benevolence and morality or governing the country by law.
The former is the royal road, and the latter is domineering, so in the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has never been a king of the royal road.
The rule of law is the concept of rule of law that begins with the management of the middle, and eventually develops into a Legalist, in the early days of the Legalist because of the Spring and Autumn Period because of the face of the scholars, it was not widely used by the countries, and the Spring and Autumn Period still had the residual charm of the 'rites', but because the effect of the Legalists on the country's prosperity and governance was too significant, so that in the face of absolute 'capital', face and shame became not worth mentioning.
This is mainly because the politicians who pursued the concept of Legalism successively established a number of Spring and Autumn overlords, such as Qi Huan Gongyong Guan Zhong, Jin Wen Gongyong Xianzhen and Guo Yan, Qin Mu Gongyong Baili Xi and You Yu, and Chu Zhuang Wang Yongsun Shuao, all of which were achievements achieved by Legalist pioneers.
Therefore, in the Warring States Period, in order to survive in the world of great strife, the kings of various countries also had to take various risks and appoint legalists to change the law, not hesitating to cause internal strife within the country.
Therefore, Legalism is also an existence that everyone spurns among the hundreds of sons, because every time they go out of the mountain, they will basically bring bloody wind and rain.
The reason why Confucianism and Mohism were able to become the world's leading scholars was that although their ideas could not make a qualitative leap and change in the country in time, they would not let the country quickly fall into civil strife.
But Legalism is different, the effect of Legalism is remarkable, but the consequences are equally tragic.
Moreover, it is basically difficult for Legalists to end well, so in the late Warring States period, many students of Legalism either set up their own sects or invested in other scholars to seek refuge.
For example, Shen Dao and Shen are not harmful, they should be in the Jixia School Palace and cast themselves under the Taoist sect, and God does not love Li Kui and Wu Qi, so he will defect to the Confucian Xihe School when he is in the Wei State.
There is a school of thought that is famous because of one person, but in fact the footprints have appeared in various countries in the late Spring and Autumn period.
That is the miscellaneous family that became famous because of LΓΌ Buwei.
Miscellaneous schools are characterized by both Confucianism and ink, and the method of co-naming, and the way of a hundred schools of thought is all connected as the core, as if it is the most comprehensive and rigorous school.
However, there can be no omniscient and all-powerful school of thought.
The last school of thought called the all-knowing and all-powerful school, called Judaism, eventually became a religion.
The concept of miscellaneous family should be roughly similar, but it may have slowly disappeared from the stage of history because of its late appearance or other reasons.
But I have to admit that people with miscellaneous backgrounds are very outstanding psychologists, and they belong to the existence of ordinary people who can see through ordinary people at a glance.
Because in some concepts, the miscellaneous family is almost a parallel perspective of the universe dimension to Lao Tzu.
Among them, there is an existence that only appears in two lines in historical materials, but it is impossible to ignore.
This person is not Lu Buwei, but a corpse.
'The four directions are called the universe, and the past and the present are called the universe. - "Corpse"
It can be said that he was the first philosopher in history to put forward the concept of space and time.
With Lao Tzu's Tao, it is a vague cosmology, but it is not clear, while the corpse's space tube and time view are clear and unambiguous, in this cosmic perspective, Zou Yan finally opened his brain, concretized the earth again, and put forward the concept of historical cycle.
The name of the corpse was discovered, and it was bound to Shang Ying.
It is recorded in many historical materials that the corpse has a close relationship with Shang Ying, either a master and an apprentice, or a disciple.
And the corpse has long seen the fate of Shang Ying's unsatisfactory death, and after the death of Qin Xiaogong, he left Shang Yang and went to Chudi, and there is no record.
"Corpse" confirms that Corpse Jiao is the first monograph scholar to explicitly integrate the historical materials of various countries into a single policy, which may be a hundred years earlier than LΓΌ Buwei's word-for-word request for "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period".
In the era of academic knowledge monopoly in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was already very rare to be able to learn orthodox knowledge, and it was even more difficult to be able to read some regular books.
Because those books and materials are all martial arts of various sects, they basically don't look at people easily.
What is even more precious is the precious historical materials from various countries.
Huaxia is an extremely historically important civilization, but due to the different political positions and identities of the recorders, the recorded history will also be biased, so the historical materials are not important resources for the Central Plains country, and they will not be shown easily, just like the top-secret archives of later generations, which may cause a huge sensation after being publicly leaked.
At that time, the prince brought the documents of the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the state of Chu and directly cultivated a state of Chu that was prosperous, which shows the preciousness of the documents at that time.
In "The Corpse", there are not only a large number of Confucian classics, but also the proverbs of various Taoist schools and the sayings of famous Mohists, as well as historical materials from many countries.
For example, 'King Wu personally shot the mouth of evil, cut the neck of Yin, stained his hands with blood, and ate tepidly', which is a historical material of the Jin Dynasty and completely subverted the image of King Wu of Zhou.
Therefore, the identity of the corpse is extremely curious, what is the background, not only to be able to read through the hundreds of classics, but also to be able to read the annals of the Hou Kingdom?
It may not be possible to do it alone, but if it is the struggle of several generations, it may be possible, so before the corpse, there should be some scholars who began to try to 'sneak undercover' in various schools.
Wang Xu paid attention to the name of the corpse, and like everyone, he was attracted by his name at first.
In the earliest times, the word corpse did not refer to a corpse, but to describe a person's sitting posture, and later it was extended to a living person who received sacrifices in place of the dead in the sacrifice, similar to a living god, and its status was relatively high.
The term corpse vegetarian meal is described according to the earliest meaning of corpse, like a living dead in the court, a minister who only eats and does not work.
The surname corpse can be said to be an extremely special existence.
Whether in ancient times or in later generations, it is more eye-catching.
But looking at the descendants of the corpse who were tied up by Zhai Qiu like a wild boar, rolling his eyes and squirming on the ground, Wang Xu frowned slightly.
Because some of them are too unsightly.
"How?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.
"Maybe it's not a lot of horsepower, a little dizzy." Zhai Qiu said expressionlessly.
Lu Ai's expression was indifferent, and he didn't look ready to come to the rescue, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
"Hurry up and untie the person." Wang Xu frowned and pretended to reproach.
Zhai Qiu walked over, stepped on the corpse's waist, and then bent down to untie the rope on his arm and pulled it out.
The corpse let out a wail, rolled on the ground twice, and almost rolled out of the door, but fortunately was stopped by Yu Chun, who was about to enter the door, lying on the ground and humming twice, gritting his teeth and getting up, bowing to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu looked at the corpse Rong who was embarrassed but not rude, and squinted his eyes slightly, "Mr. is okay?" β
"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the grass people are safe." Corpse Rong covered his mouth and said in a muffled voice.
"That's good, Zhai Qiu is a rough man, running around on the battlefield and on horseback all year round, so it's inevitable to be a little rude, but it's okay." Wang Xu smiled: "What do you call Mr.?" β
"The corpse of the grass people, I have seen the emperor, the emperor Bailu." Corpse Rong swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva fiercely and replied with a suppressed voice.
"The wound on Mr.'s face was caused by Zhai Qiu?" Wang Xu tilted his head to look at the obviously red and swollen right side of the corpse's face, and asked.
"It was accidentally injured by the grass people themselves while working, and it has nothing to do with the general." Corpse Rong glanced at Lu Ai, who was sitting like a statue on the chair, and said in a sad tone.
"What is the gentleman responsible for in the army?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.
"The grass people served under General Yu's account." Corpse replied.
"There's a talent like Mr. Corpse under the account, why don't you tell me?" Wang Xu glanced at Yu Chun.
Yu Chun's face was full of doubts: "Talent? Him? β
"The emperor praised it falsely, and the corpse Rong was just a common man." Corpse Rong hurriedly said.
"That's right, in addition to having a lot of strength, he is actually clumsy when doing things, where can he be considered a talent." Yu Chun grinned.
"The person who can propose to you to plate a ship with molten iron is not a talent." Wang Xu said with a smile.
Yu Chun was slightly stunned.
The corpse stiffened, his eyes skimmed to Lu Ai, and when he saw that Lu Ai also showed a different color, his mind sank.
"With your brain, it is estimated that you can't even understand the truth of molten iron molding, let alone think of using molten iron to fill the joints, and the craftsman of Lone Bamboo naturally understands the difference between wood and iron juice, and will not come up with such a hypothetical plan." Wang Xu's smile did not decrease, "So it can only be thought of by a person with an extremely smart brain, but who doesn't know much about iron smelting." β
"So, is that really a good idea?" Yu Chun's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "I thought it was just a very ordinary method." β
"Ordinary methods, still dare to take credit in front of me?" Wang Xu laughed dumbly.
"I thought this was their native method of the Central Plains, and it was normal that the emperor hadn't heard of it, but I didn't expect it." Yu Chunhan laughed twice and squatted in front of the corpse, "I didn't expect it to be you who came up with it yourself." β
The corpse Rong's inexplicable back was cold, and he said in a deep voice, "It is indeed the local method of the grass people's countryside, the grass people are born in Wuyue, there are many old craftsmen who make boats in the local area, and they make a living by building fishing boats, among which there are many retired masters of the Chu State, they say that it is true that the palace can be gold-plated boats, and they can cross the river and ride the waves, so the grass people think they can." β
Wang Xu narrowed his eyes, "So that's the case, but gold and iron are still different, so Mr. Corpse also knows something about ferrying?" β
"Most of the people in Wuyue grew up soaking in water since childhood." Corpse replied with a smile.
"Then you might as well go south here and leave it to Mr. Corpse to command." Wang Xu chuckled.
"The grass people are frightened and are willing to support the emperor for the boat, but the matter of command is really looking down on the grass people." The corpse is colorful.
"Mr. Corpse's accent is similar to Mr. Lu's." Wang Xu smiled and asked.
"The grass people are not talented, and when I was young, I listened to the teachings of the Jixia School Palace for a few days." The corpse replied.
"Studying under Huang Lao?" Wang Xu asked.
"I once worshiped in the Daomen Ring Abyss." Corpse Rong laughed.
"That's a true sage disciple." Wang Xu smiled: "Sir, have you ever been a leader?" β
"Never." Corpse Rong shook his head.
"What does Mr. think of Lone Bamboo?" Wang Xu asked.
"Don't dare to speak of the virtue of the emperor." The corpse is colorful.
"After listening to Mr. Lu Ai's words, I was stunned, if it is as Mr. said, I am a person without virtue." Wang Xu said with a smile, "If you are virtuous, it will not rain for many days in a row, so that the day of sailing will be delayed again and again." β
"The emperor may have misunderstood, the royal road that the grass people said refers to the royal road between the square circles, and the emperor is envious, so naturally he is no longer in this list." Corpse Rong waved his hand and smiled, "If you know that Lu Ai asked for the emperor, the grass people will definitely not say anything." β
"I'm a member of the Xianmen, but Lone Bamboo is still a country of Fangyuan." Wang Xu smiled and said, "Assuming I'm not this emperor, what do you think, sir?" β
The corpse's pupils shrank, and countless thoughts flashed through his heart.
Lu Ai was also shocked by Wang Xu's words, and looked at Wang Xu in surprise.
"My next term is just to complete the mission, and I will leave after all, but since I have watched the lone bamboo grow, I can't watch him fend for himself." Wang Xu said with a smile.
"If that's the case, the emperor begs forgive the grass people for their arrogance." The corpse said in a deep voice.
"Sir, please." Wang Xu waved his hand.
"Can Lone Bamboo follow the emperor to the world?" Corpse Rong asked in a condensed voice.
