"Chu Shilang, I want to ask you a question. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The minister knows everything."

Liu Xie smiled happily, he liked Chu Yi's straightforward temperament the most.

At this moment, Liu Xie is the age when his curiosity is the strongest, and ordinary people are not good at saying or dare not say things, but Chu Yi came as soon as he opened his mouth, he really hoped that Xun You could learn from Chu Yi well.

"Chu Shilang said that he wanted to rule the country by law, but Qin died because of this, why is this? Moreover, when I read the Analects, Confucius said: The Tao is governed by government, and the people are free and shameless; The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified. Is this really that important? ”

"Qin, died in politics, not in the system, died in the king, not in the law. And the minister also said that the way to govern the country should be a combination of etiquette and law......"

Chu Yi gave Liu Xie a one-day lecture on the difference and role between Legalism and Confucianism. China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and it is absolutely impossible to completely abandon the Confucian ideas of "etiquette" and "benevolence", and Chu Yi will not allow this. But it is also impossible to respect Confucianism alone.

But Chu Yi is not interested in playing a hundred schools of thought, because at this time, it is as ridiculous as Wang Mang wants to forcibly retro.

In any case, great unification is the development trend and trend of the Chinese people. The unification of regions, the unification of currency, the unification of writing, the unification of civilization, and ...... The great unification of ideas.

First of all, this contention of a hundred schools of thought seems to be extremely bright, but at that time there were no more than ten schools that really had great influence, except for the well-known Confucianism, Mo, Taoism, Law, and soldiers, there were only Yin and Yang, vertical and horizontal, miscellaneous, and famous...... Oh, and there is also a Yang Zhu school that is very popular. But in short, in the end, only these few can leave an image among future generations. So the contention of a hundred schools of thought is just a general concept, after all, a group of sparrows and birds fly together, will you pay attention to the humble sparrow or the elegant bird?

Moreover, the so-called contention of a hundred schools of thought is a collision and exchange of ideas, and hundreds of schools of thought are looking for their own problems in attacking and accusing each other. After perfecting one's own thoughts, he can survive the attacks of everyone and survive the attacks, so that he can soar to the sky.

This seems wonderful and conducive to the development of ideology and philosophy, but there is a major premise for all this, that is, troubled times. The coexistence of absolute chaos and relative peace can bring prosperity to a hundred schools of thought.

And once the unification is over, the contention of a hundred schools of thought will naturally slowly go downhill. Because a unified country needs a unified thought, Qin chose Law, the early Han Dynasty chose Dao, and the middle period began to choose Confucianism.

Therefore, the gradual withdrawal of other ideas is an inevitable result, and unless there is another chaos and peace like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the landscape of a hundred schools of thought will never be able to reproduce.

This is like the high development of science and technology in wartime, and countless high-tech technologies have been researched and put into the battlefield. For example, computers, atomic bombs.

But after the war, there was no such urgent need, and development would always begin to cool slowly. The emergence of a hundred schools of thought is the result of the strong country competing for hegemony and the weak country competing for power, in order to serve the monarchs of various countries.

Without such a goal, how can there be a hundred schools of thought? Although the collision between the ideas of the ancient sages in the pre-Qin period benefited the whole of China for thousands of years, there was only one time in history.

Could it be that Chu Yi should be completely restored to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? That's, no matter who comes, you can't do it. Not to mention in the presence of the steppe, a formidable foreign enemy.

In short, it is impractical for a hundred schools of thought to contend, because ideas will eventually lead to the path of integration. The most Chu Yi can do is to create countless small hills under this unified thought.

Chu Yi brought personal goods to Liu Xie for a whole day, and his saliva was dry, and some of Confucius's words were pure farts, and he scolded the words slandering Confucius in "Zhuangzi" for being really a villain.

Liu Xie is like a blank sheet of paper at the moment, listening to it with relish. And Liu Xie's nature is smart, and he will draw inferences from one another to ask questions again.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Chu Yi roughly finished talking about the problems between the hundred schools. Of course, Liu Xie can't fully understand it, there are many things that he just remembers but can't understand yet.

But as long as you can remember it, Chu Yi couldn't pay attention to the words in the text when he was in elementary school, and when he grew up and remembered it, he would naturally understand.

"After listening to Chu Aiqing's words, I really opened up." Liu Xie didn't understand a lot of what Chu Yi said, but he just felt that it was amazing. But Liu Xie felt that he had indeed benefited a lot, and many of Chu Yi's words made him feel that the door to a new world had been opened.

Chu Yi licked his somewhat dry lips: "It is the minister's honor to let His Majesty gain something." ”

"By the way, you went to the Kwantung Coalition Army camp this time, did you gain anything?"

Seeing that it was not early, Liu Xie knew that it was almost time for Chu Yi to get off work, and asked the question he had been looking forward to for a long time. Chu Yi went out with the army, and the reason he gave Liu Xie was that he wanted to secretly contact Yingjie, who was interested in the Han family.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister found that there were several people available in the Kwantung Coalition Army. For example, Liu Xuande, the prime minister of the plains, Cao Cao, the Taishou of the Eastern County, Kong Rong, the prime minister of the Beihai, and Gongsun Zhan, the general of the expedition to the east. Probably only these few are used again, as for the rest, His Majesty doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Liu Xie nodded with a somewhat complicated mood: "Oh, it's not bad to have so many people." ”

"Isn't Your Majesty worried?"

"Worried about what?"

"Aren't you worried that the ministers will form a party for personal gain?"

"Huh? Will you? ”

"Not yet, but Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, should never trust anyone too much. The human heart is the most untested and the most fickle. The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. People always have to pursue fame and wealth in life, so please let Your Majesty listen to it in the future. Even if it's me, even if it's a loved one. ”

……

On the way home, Chu Yi was also thinking about why he said this sentence that was obviously unfavorable to himself, wouldn't it be better to let the little emperor trust himself more.

Maybe it's because I'm not sure I'll be able to keep my heart in the future, or maybe I just don't want a stupid monarch.

"By the way, Diao Chan should have arrived today."

Chu Yi said that when he returned home, the atmosphere at home was very strange. Zhang Qing'er rarely avoided Guo Jia but sat together.

Zhang Qinger's face was as cold as ice, and Guo Jia's expression was provocative.
