Chapter 47 Success and Failure

Looking at Chao Buzhi's appearance of whirring, Yuan Gusheng smiled and said: "So Chao Langzhong is still good at telling the truth, Yuan Gusheng listens attentively." ”

Chao Buzhi had no choice but to say: "In my opinion, in life, in the autumn of plants and trees, everything has its own moment of blooming, so all kinds of academic theories are no exception. ”

"Zhou Li supported the 800 years of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period contended with a hundred schools, so the doctrine was everywhere, and everyone was running for the belief in their hearts."

"However, I believe that the development of academic thought is always compatible with the development of society. Nowadays, people often say that the Qin Dynasty followed the name and was responsible, punished harshly, expropriated violently, and complained. Only then did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raise their arms and exclaim, that unprecedentedly powerful empire collapsed like a paper house, but who could know that without the strict rule of the Legalists and the change of the law by the Shang monarchs, how could there be the majesty of the Qin State to unify the six countries? ”

And the fall of the Qin Empire marked the collapse of the Legalist idea of violent rule. Gaozu beheaded the White Snake Uprising, more than 100 battles of all sizes, before there was a great Han world, Gaozu learned the lessons of the death of Qin, adopted Lu Jia's suggestion, based on Confucianism, integrated Huang Lao's Taoist and Legalist thoughts, and put forward the idea of 'doing benevolence and righteousness, law before sacredness, combination of ritual and law, and rule by inaction', so the Legalists of the Qin Dynasty were changed to recuperate with the people, and pursued the Taoist Huang Lao's inaction and rule. ”

"It is precisely because of the implementation of this Taoist policy of inaction that the Han Dynasty has 'the world is silent, the punishment is rare, and the sinner is Xi. The situation of civil affairs and crops, food and clothing. ”

Speaking of this, Chao Buzhi paused, Yuan Gusheng nodded, agreed, and motioned for him to continue.

"But 'wu wei' is not really able to 'do everything' as the book Lao Tzu says. I have read all the history books, and found that during the time of Emperor Wen, various contradictions between land annexation and heroic and powerful were increasingly intensified, the northern Xiongnu were seriously troubled, and the internal Huainan Li King also tried to rebel. Although the old Huang thought of 'quiet and inaction' is still a national policy, I ·····"

Chao Buzhi felt that he was talking a little too much, so he stopped, Yuan Gusheng smiled and said: "'Wuwei' doesn't really adapt to the current situation, the so-called non-breaking and non-standing is like this. ”

Chao Buzhi nodded and continued: "Back then, Jia Sheng once pointed out, 'Before the ritual ban will be, and after the legal ban. He also wrote to the court to combine 'benevolence and righteousness' with 'rule of law', respect the people and love the people, and exercise benevolence and righteousness to the common people, and at the same time use the power and legal system to attack and suppress those local princes and kings who are flying and domineering and confront the imperial court. Unfortunately, this proposition was not accepted, and Jia Sheng died depressed. ”

"The Han Dynasty blindly emphasized the rule of inaction, and for decades it was too indulgent and accommodating to the local princes and kings, causing their power to surge viciously, forming a situation where the current tail is too big to fall."

"The initiator of all this is the word 'inaction', the country is rich and the people are strong because of 'inaction', and the family and country are not quiet because of 'inaction', so the world of the Han Dynasty can be said to be inaction and inaction, and failure is also inaction."

After listening to Chao Buzhi's words, Yuan Gusheng couldn't help but mutter: "There is nothing to do, nothing to lose, incisive, incisive, really incisive, when the big white is floating." ”

Chao Buzhi's face darkened suddenly, what is incisive or not, isn't it a fart in turn?

"So this is the time for my generation to show their talents, do you say yes or no?" Yuan Gusheng said emotionally.

However, Chao Buzhi said in a big way: "No. ”

Yuan Gusheng said strangely: "Why not? Legalism has the experience of the previous Qin, Taoism does not adapt to the situation, although the remaining soldiers, Mohists and others have strengths, but they are not as good as my Confucianism to accept all rivers and tolerate all things, so what other schools of doctrine are feasible in the world besides my Confucianism? ”

"Haha, Brother Yuangu, you have to remember clearly that now is to govern the world and guard the world, so be the outer Confucianism and the inner law, and the unity of knowledge and action." Chao Buzhi said with a smile.

When Yuan Gusheng heard this, he was shocked and said, "Are you a master disciple of the Legalist family?" ”

Chao Buzhi made a joke: "I am neither Confucian, nor Taoist, nor Legalist, I am from the Chao family, hahaha." ”

Yuan Gusheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This old man can rest assured, you can read more of my Confucian doctrine when you are fine, it will be of great benefit to you." ”

Chao Buzhi smiled and said, "Okay, let me ask you, is it possible for Confucianism to lead the army to fight and defeat the enemy?" ”

Who knew that Yuan Gusheng seemed to know why Chao Buzhi asked so much, and said with a smile: "When the old man was arguing with others, you were not born yet." ”

"The ruler is short, the inch is long, how can you use the shortcomings of Confucianism to compare the strengths of his family, do you think the old man is confused?"

"Besides, my Confucianism has six arts, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, don't look at the old man who is about fifty years old now, but he can still be coherent with four arrows, and they are all in the right goal, hehe." Yuan Gusheng said smugly.

Chao Buzhi suddenly smiled awkwardly, thinking that it was the first time he came to the Han Dynasty to be deflated, firstly, he was a little underestimated, forgetting that this gentleman was also a master of debate, and secondly, he forgot that Confucianism at this time was not the kind of nerd who died of reading in later generations.

··········

Liu Wu looked up and saw Chao Cuo holding a roll of yellow silk in his hand, and dozens of royal forest soldiers standing by their swords behind him walked in together.

Liu Wu was terrified when he saw that the person who came was not good, because this situation was too scary.

Liu Wu was also a ruthless person, he instantly stood up and said, "Chao Cuo, who gave you the guts?" How dare you trespass into the mansion of the Lone King? Where are the palace guards? Take him down with me? ”

Dozens of guards in the palace drew their swords in their hands and were about to step forward to take people.

The person who looked like the commander of the Imperial Forest Army who followed Chao Cuo in was about to give an order to be on guard, but who knew that Chao Cuo waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to.

Then Chao Cuo said with a cold smile: "King, I Chao Cuo is the emperor, and one of the three princes of the imperial history doctor, although I can't talk about high power, but even if I am the Son of Heaven, I don't dare to call Chao Cuo's name, you are a prince and king, you actually call me by my name for the time being, and dare to let the soldiers in the palace take me, could it be that the king of Chu wants to rebel?" ”

"Rebellion? Hahaha, it's really funny in the world, this world is my Liu's, but you... The doctor led his troops into my palace without authorization, and he was the one who wanted to rebel. Liu Wu retorted.

"King, you were still a king before Zai Chao read the edict, but after reading the edict, hehe." Chao Cuo smiled abruptly.

Liu Wu saw Chao Cuo's tone and knew that this matter could not be good, so he was going to be ruthless and ordered Chao Cuo to be taken down.

Chao Cuo saw Liu Wu's actions, so he said coldly: "King, there are 3,000 northern troops outside the mansion, heavily guarded, waiting for the emperor, even if it is a fly, it can't fly out, do you have the confidence to rely on the people in the mansion to kill back to the Chu State?" ”
