Chapter 176: Talking

"Your Highness, how are you playing in Jinling?"

Sun Deng asked.

"Jinling is indeed a good place, I also met with the Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu, and we were very happy to see each other!"

Liu Yuetian said with a smile.

"Oh! You've met with the Governor as well? His ability to manage the army and commander is unmatched in the world, but in terms of Confucianism, he can't do it, this way of killing and commanding the army is not what my generation needs. ”

Sun Deng obviously looked down on Zhou Yu a little.

"This Sun Deng is a studious person, but he lacks some imperial ability, if he becomes the king of Wu one day, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for Dawu!"

You must know that the transaction between Liu Yuetian and Zhou Yu alarmed Sun Quan, as Sun Quan's eldest son, he didn't know? Obviously, his mind is not in this governing the country, just a literati character, of course, this kind of character is also very rare, if he is an ordinary person, then he will also become a family, but after all, he is the eldest son of Sun Quan, and he is likely to succeed the other party as the king of Wu in the future, but he is facing a country of tigers and wolves like the Great Wei and the Tang Dynasty, how can he make the other party succumb by relying on Confucianism alone?

"Brother Sun, this Lin'an is really prevalent in literary style, I have come this way, and there are more than a dozen schools I have seen, and there are more than a dozen official and private schools all over the city, I think Lin'an is enough to become the cultural capital of the world."

Liu Yuetian is not flattering the other party, and the prevailing style of study in Lin'an does make him admire it very much.

"Your Royal Highness is right, this is all the credit of my father, he read all the history books when he was young, and he is familiar with the governance of nearly 100 emperors, and over time he has made his father have his own feelings, thinking that the reason why the world is in chaos is that there are no rules and no order.

Why was there a peaceful reign under King Wu back then, and no one dared to disobey his orders? You must know that even after the destruction of the Great Shang, there are eighty-eight princes in the world, and the situation is even more chaotic than today.

At that time, the Great Zhou army was only 100,000, while the other 88 princes had more than a million troops? If they join forces, then the world will not know whose world it is, but why did none of these people dare to resist, and obediently obey the orders of King Wu, even if they let them disband their respective teams, they dare not say a word of dissatisfaction.

That is, the king of martial arts is strong and dares to raise troops with a division of 30,000; dare to use 30,000 troops to resist the 300,000 soldiers of the 15th Route Princes; dare to capture and kill the Great Shang General in the midst of ten thousand armies with the strength of one person; This prestige is incomparable, so that no one dares to show any disrespect, even if it is beheaded, they will willingly behead.

Only then did the rule of the Mandate of Heaven come later, and there will be more than 700 years of longevity in the Great Zhou.

King Wu is a figure who has not been out for a thousand years, and his behavior has influenced him so far, his strict legal system is the origin of the theory of Legalism in later generations, then King Qin established the Qin State based on Legalism, the army is strictly forbidden, and the combat effectiveness is the top among the seven princes, my father also wanted to also take Legalism as the foundation, but Legalism is too strict, one person violates the law and others will sit in a row, which will sooner or later cause civil strife, so don't look at the current Great Qin is violent, but he is not long, and he will self-destruct in less than ten years.

In fact, it is quite biased for later generations to call him the king of martial arts, although he has some world-famous martial arts, but there are also many benevolent and righteous deeds, such as a sergeant in his army who died, and there was only a blind old father in the family who could not make a living, so he secretly pretended to be a sergeant to provide for him to die, and a sergeant sacrificed, and there were orphans and widows in the family, so he adopted the child, such behaviors are too numerous to mention, but later generations think that these are the benevolence of women, and there is no special book, but in the eyes of my father, these things are the foundation of his ability to unify the world, is far more important than his martial arts, so his father must govern Dawu with loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

I believe His Royal Highness has also seen it, and now the people in my Dawu are simple, the monarchs and ministers are orderly, the father and son love each other, the young and the old are different, and the neighbors help each other. ”

Sun Denggao looked extremely excited when he talked about it.

"Your Royal Highness, I debated with you that day, your words were sharp and abnormal, I have not come up with a way to defend myself when I go home, of course, my understanding of Confucianism is only half-understood, and Your Highness you naturally can't compare, I have a most famous teacher in Dawu, Mr. Dong Zhongshu, he is a master of Confucianism, in a few days my Dawu will hold a Confucianism debate conference, presided over by my father himself, and then you can meet Mr. Dong."

"Dong Zhongshu? Did this old gentleman also establish a school in Lin'an? ”

Liu Yuetian asked.

"That's right, the largest school in Lin'an, Zhongxiao Hall, was founded by Mr. Dong, and now it is also the largest school in the city."

"Sure enough!"

Liu Yuetian nodded slightly, and finally figured out the origin of this Zhongxiao Hall.

"That Zhongxiaotang is a little interesting, what is preached is the monarch as the minister, the father as the son, and the husband as the wife, I don't know what Brother Sun thinks about this?"

Liu Yuetian asked.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness is talking about the theory of the Three Outlines, which is also the theory that Mr. Dong values the most, as long as this theory is accepted by the people of the world, the world will be peaceful."

Sun Deng obviously agrees with these three principles.

Liu Yuetian is not surprised, he knows where the development of human beings is heading, that is, the material is based on the development of science, and the trend of thought is the development of the concept of freedom and equality, that is, science and freedom, of course, the premise of the two is the legal system, as long as the two can make steady progress under the constraints of the legal system, and these three outlines have no benefit to the development of science and freedom, perhaps only reflect a trace of the legal system, but this legal system only belongs to the power class, and it has become a constraint and oppression for the common people.

But this era is chaotic, fundamentally lack of a benign social relationship and interpersonal relations, the three outlines of the Lun directly put forward a kind of interpersonal relationship, courtiers to be loyal to the king, children to be filial to their parents, wives to obey their husbands, it seems that this is just a relationship between people, but in fact it is also a social relationship, that is, the consciousness of obedience and forbearance, as long as everyone abides by this relationship, the society is really likely to change, this is undoubted, so the theory of the three outlines is still of positive significance for this era, even Liu Yuetian can't jump out of this era to refute this theory, you can't face a group of people who still use iron tools to discuss how to develop the space shuttle, right? Liu Yuetian is not the kind of pedantic person.

If you want to refute this theory, the best way is to implant the concept of the rule of law and freedom into Confucianism, so that these three can be perfectly combined to replace the three-outline theory, for example, Mencius also has the theory that the people are heaven, although it is only three words, but this is actually a concept of equality.

"By the way, Brother Sun, in addition to this Zhongyi Hall, there are many other schools, what is going on with these schools?"

Liu Yuetian asked.

"Hehe, Your Highness, you are right, there are more than a dozen schools in Lin'an City, although the theories of each one have similarities, but there are still many differences, some are studied from the aspect of benevolence and righteousness, some are studied from the aspect of etiquette, and some even have different views on Mr. Dong's Three Guidelines, but our Dawu is very open and allows them to freely propagate theories, which is also the reason why our Dawu can attract more people."

"It's kind of free speech!"

Liu Yuetian nodded, but he also knew that these schools were still dominated by Confucianism, but there were only minor differences, like the Legalist school, he didn't see it in Lin'an, but even so, this Wu Wang Sun Quan was already very good, obviously an enlightened person.

"This Sun Quan, I want to see it!"
