Su Ren came to the Mengjia Courtyard again, this time empty-handed, Huang Thirteen and Hawking on one side, let those guards stop them, and the three of them only rushed in. had already rushed to the gate and saw Dong Zhongshu standing in the door with a black face.

"Captain Su, why did you come to me again this big night? Visiting in the middle of the night doesn't seem to be in harmony with etiquette, right? ”

Su Ren gave Dong Zhongshu a deep salute: "Dare to ask Mr., what is a courtesy?" What is the law? ”

Su Ren said very politely, Huang Shisan and Hawking both carried weapons in their hands, and looked at the soldiers around them vigilantly.

"Huh!" Dong Zhongshu smiled and glanced at Su Ren: "That's how you came to ask for advice?" ”

"It's not to ask for advice, it's to ask Mr. Dong for an explanation!"

"Oh? What is the statement? ”

"The first sentence of Mr. Dong's "Three Strategies for Heaven and Man" is the induction of heaven and man, I don't know if what I said is right?"

Dong Zhongshu nodded: "Yes, heaven and man induction, the heavens, the ancestors of all things, all things are not born from heaven, people are born from heaven, heaven is also the great-grandfather of people, heaven, the king of the gods, only the Son of Heaven is ordered by the sky, and the world is ordered by the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Good! Since the sky is the ancestor of all things, dare to ask Mr., the sky is cloudy and sunny, the sky has the sun and the moon, and also obeys the harmony of yin and yang, and people should follow suit, why does Mr. block the matter between me and Miss Dong? Isn't this against the will of heaven and against heaven's will? ”

"You!" Dong Zhongshu was suddenly stopped by Su Ren, thought for a moment and smiled: "Use the yin and yang of Taoism to talk to me about heaven and man, you are indeed a little clever, since you have said this, do you dare to argue with me?" It is said that you have studied my "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man" a lot, if you can talk about me, let's talk about you and Qian'er, how about it? Do you have the guts? ”

"Why don't you dare!" Su Ren took a step forward, staring at Dong Zhongshu with a pair of eyes.

Dong Zhongshu nodded, got out of the way, and made a gesture of please: "Okay!" Inside please! ”

With his head held high, Su Renxian was full of confidence. In fact, the drum is beating in my heart, who is Dong Zhongshu? Great Confucian! Naturally, he is well-read, well-versed in the past and the present, and his mouth is like a river. Even if he Su Ren has thousands of years of knowledge, in front of a person like Dong Zhongshu, it is really hard to say whether he can resist it.

Debate, naturally, sit opposite each other, there is no wine but water, and you have to kneel and sit, which is torment for Su Ren. But in front of his future father-in-law, he is not presumptuous, so he can only sit reluctantly.

Dong Zhongshu looked at Su Ren: "Since the "Three Questions of Heaven and Man" was mentioned, how about we use this as the topic today?" ”

Su Ren nodded: "Very good!" ”

"Captain Su seems to be very confident, right? It seems that you have a lot of criticism about my "Three Questions of Heaven and Man"? ”

"There are quite a few complaints, but I just think that there is not much merit in this "Three Questions of Heaven and Man"."

"Hahaha!" Dong Zhongshu laughed, leaning back and forth with a smile: "If I hadn't known that you didn't support Huang Laoxue's theory, maybe I would have been angry, and Your Majesty thought it was the right thing, how could you think it was wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty thinks it is right, and this matter is right?"

"This is natural, Your Majesty is the son of God, since God has chosen Your Majesty to be the Majesty of the Great Han, he naturally has the ability to understand right and wrong, and judge right and wrong."

Su Ren shook his head: "Start now?" All right! Speaking of which, it is said that the unity of heaven and man and the divine right of the monarch, dare to ask Mr. Dong, since the unity of heaven and man, the divine right of the monarch, why is it so difficult for our majesty to sit on the throne? Thinking that back then, the Empress Dowager intended to establish King Liang as the emperor's younger brother, and His Majesty was not the eldest son of the emperor, if it wasn't for Princess Guantao's efforts, maybe it might be King Liang sitting on the dragon chair at this time, right? ”

Dong Zhongshu frowned: "Who did you listen to these words?" ”

"No matter who said it, does Mr. Dong think it's right?"

"It's nonsense, because of this, it can be shown that His Majesty is the heir chosen by God, no matter how much others fight, the throne will still be His Majesty's in the end!"

"Really?" The corners of Su Ren's mouth twitched, revealing a signature smile: "Your Majesty is now an adult, and it is time to govern, the Empress Dowager should follow the will of heaven and hand over the power to Your Majesty, but what is the result now?" Mr. Dong is from Chang'an, and he must know better than me. ”

Dong Zhongshu looked at Su Ren like a monster, everyone in the world knew that Mrs. Dou was in control of the government, but the matter of establishing King Liang as the emperor's younger brother was a secret in the palace, and even he only heard a little about it after he arrived in Chang'an. However, this kid who came out of the mountains and forests knew so clearly, how could Dong Zhongshu not be surprised.

"And!" Su Ren continued: "The divine right of the monarch, that is to say, all the emperors in the world are the sons of heaven, and the Taizu Dynasty and Empress Lu control the government and make my Han in dire straits, is this also the arrangement of heaven and earth?" If it weren't for Chen Ping's people in addition to Zhu Lu, the world would be surnamed Lu if it was not good, and there was also the first emperor of the previous dynasty, Yingzheng, who could be described as the first emperor who opened the world, unified the six countries, and leveled the world, and his son Hu Hai was also the emperor, but he was replaced by my Han Dynasty, could it be said that Hu Hai's throne was not received by God? ”

"To put it bluntly, Mr. Dong, your divine right of monarchy is to find an excuse for the Son of Heaven to block the mouths of the people and let those who have intentions extinguish their delusions.

Su Ren took a sip of water and looked at Dong Zhongshu, who was silent: "Let's talk about your second article, depose the hundred schools of thought, and respect Confucianism alone, yes, Confucianism does have its benefits, and it has grown in governing the country, but I still have to ask Mr., as far as the current situation of my Han Dynasty is concerned, the domestic people's livelihood is not obvious, and there are princes eyeing each other, the armor soldiers are not repaired, there are not many soldiers, and the face of the northern Xiongnu is already stretched, what does Confucianism say about these?" ”

Without waiting for Dong Zhongshu to speak, Su Ren preemptively said: "I know that Mr. wants to say that he will be influenced by benevolence and righteousness, and edified by etiquette, hehe, I am afraid this is just the words of Mr.'s family, and it can also be said to be Mr.'s own thoughts!" If you want me to say, deal with those untamed princes with a word, kill! It's still one word to deal with the surrounding strong enemies, kill! Only by making them afraid of the court will they truly surrender to our feet. ”

"Ren, you can only treat your own people, those people are the enemies of my Han, give a word to Mr., treat friends as warm as spring, treat enemies as fierce as the autumn wind sweeping leaves, that is to say, use all methods to treat enemies, whether it is vertical and horizontal, or soldiers, legalists, even Mo families, as long as it is useful, we will absorb and use it."

"Manage agriculture with farmers, govern places with legalists, train the army with soldiers, learn tactics from the Mohists, let the Zonghengjia divide the enemy, and finally you Confucians, use your teachings to educate the township, etc., etc., only in this way can we make the Han really strong, everyone has a place to use, use their own talents to serve the construction of the Han, and build our Han into the strongest country!"

Dong Zhongshu took a deep breath, his mouth grew for a long time, but in the end, he said: "A hundred schools of thought are contending, who is the leader?" ”

"No one is the leader, Your Majesty sits in the middle to mediate, you just need to let you people play to your strengths."

"In that case, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"Why is it messy?"

"A hundred schools of thought only appeared in the Warring States, at that time, how many princes in the world, disputes continued, and wars were not hesitated, precisely because there were many people! If Your Majesty listens to you, I am afraid that the world will return to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States again. ”

"Hey!" Su Ren sighed: "The eyes of the rat are narrow, you only see the ** of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but you don't see the benefits of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, dare to ask Mr. Dong, when was this Taoism and Confucianism born?" ”

"This ......" Dong Zhongshu was speechless again.

Su Ren smiled: "The ** of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is because of Zhou Tianzi's incompetence, but now His Majesty will never follow in the footsteps of Zhou Tianzi, the people are determined, the world is determined, Your Majesty is majestic and strategic, once you master the military power, those princes are just clowns who jump off the beam, I am not chaotic, I can gather as one, and unite with the outside world, there is only one sentence in your "Three Strategies for Heaven and Man" I think it is still acceptable, and the great unification and rebellion. ”

"The Han is the great man of the world, not the great man of His Majesty, if he does a good job, he will naturally be loved by the people of the world, and his name will go down in history, in case he meets a faint king, the people can not blame the people repeatedly, the people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat and also overturn the boat, because the explosion of Qin has my big Han, is the best explanation of this sentence, whether the people or the princes and nobles in the whole world can only be united around the Ming Jun, in order to sweep the **, level the world, and return my Han Dynasty to all generations!"

The more Su Ren spoke, the more excited he became, he actually stood up, paced to the door, held a water bowl in one hand, and looked up at the stars: "Mr. Dong, to say a word of conscience, it is selfish for you to dedicate this set of theories to Your Majesty, although Confucianism is good, it is not the way to govern the country, the only way to govern the world is domineering, but this hegemony is not domineering to the people, it is domineering to the princes and nobles, and the officials of the world, control this group of people, and the world is peaceful!" ”

Raising his neck and pouring a bowl of water down, some dry throats were much more comfortable, Su Ren threw down the bowl of water and went out of the courtyard gate, leaving only Dong Zhongshu in the room with his head bowed and pondering.

Dong Qian didn't know when she came in and knelt beside her father.

Dong Zhongshu thought for a long time, and said to himself: "The only way to govern the world is to be domineering, and it is still easier said than done to be domineering to princes, nobles and officials in the world!" ”

"Father, I think what Su Ren said seems to have some truth."

"Huh!" Dong Zhongshu laughed dryly: "What do you know? This person is not simple, if he is allowed to see His Majesty, I am afraid that the world will be turned upside down! ”

"Didn't my father also dedicate his philosophy of governing the country to His Majesty, and didn't he also want to turn the world upside down?"

"It's different, it's really different!" Dong Zhongshu sighed: "Although I also support domineering, I use gentle means, and this person is naked, and if you do this, something will happen!" ”
