Recently, a sensational event occurred in China.

The Zhongshan Kingdom was broken by the combined forces of Qin, Zhao, and Wei, and it was none other than Mu Xijing, a top student of Fengming Academy and one of Baizi's most valued students, who caused the destruction of Zhongshan Kingdom.

In this war full of conspiracy, Mu Xijing and Xiang Meng were completely knocked to the ground, and the Xiang family of Chu State has been extinct since then. Syord, the famous guy who killed the name, once again showed a terrifying face and methods, that is, he turned his face and betrayed his 'ally' and threw himself into the arms of his teacher Bai Dong again, and it turned out that he was on the right side again.

Everyone in the world thought that Mu Xijing would be beheaded and gouged out his eyes, and Fengming Academy was about to stage a scene where the dean personally killed his beloved disciples, but the final ending blinded the eyes of the people of the world and deafened the ears of the people of the world.

Bai Dong didn't even kill? Qin Guo actually returned Mu Xijing a free body!

If you don't kill, you won't kill, but Qin Guo and Bai Dong's reasons are still very sufficient, so enough that no one in the world can refute it?

Bai Zi said that Mu Xijing did not rebel against the Qin State in the first place, because he was not an official of the Qin State, so what kind of rebellion is he talking about? Mu Xijing is even more anti-Huaxia, he is just uniting with Zhongshan Kingdom, the Beidi to toss another Beidi Yiqu, no matter how you look at it, it is beneficial and harmless to Huaxia, how can it be considered a rebellion?

As for the joint Xiang Meng assassinating himself and the prince, will those rangers serve without money? Where is there a lot of money in Mu Xijing, this is all from Xiang Meng! Now that Xiang Meng is dead, and the assassination attempt is also an attempt, Bai Dong and Shizi have said that they will not pursue it anymore and are willing to give Mu Xijing a chance to 'be a new man', who else can object?

It's better to be a student of Baizi. If you make a mistake, the teacher will forgive. Impressive, huh? This is still the opinion of ordinary people. In the opinion of those who know. The case of Mu Xijing is more far-reaching, Zhao Ji published a logical and enthusiastic article in the "Daqin Times" for this purpose, starting from the crime of Mu Xijing, and finally profoundly analyzed that the law of China is too strict and too harsh. And not for men!

"Baizi let us see the mind and insight that a scholar should have, as he said, Muxi Jing is not a disaster in China, let alone a betrayal of the Qin State, how can the Qin State be guilty? This is the principle of 'criminality and legality' pioneered by Dean Bai, according to the law, Muxijing chaotic Yiqu and Lianzhongshan, for the disaster of foreign people, not only not guilty in Huaxia, but also meritorious! ”

As soon as this article came out. It was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, which caused extensive discussions among the pre-Qin legalists. Shen Dao, Shen Bu and even Yang Zhu have successively published articles in the "Daqin Times". Among them, Yang Zhu and Shen Dao are strong supporters of Bai Dong, one of them is from Taoism, and the other is a relatively moderate Legalist 'power faction', and it is easier to accept the principle of leniency and legality of crimes, and Shen Bu is shaking his head, but he was soon criticized by some Bai Dong's supporters for being incomplete, believing that since he served as the Minister of the Interior of South Korea, Han law has become increasingly strict, and the Koreans are even more frightened, far from the way of a saint.

Among them, the most affected is Wei Ying, whose new law has been implemented for more than ten years is nothing more than relying on the word 'strict', and even once so strict that he wanted to cut off the nose of the pious and the ass of the victory. However, after hitting the wall a few times, this legalist giant also felt that Bai Dong's influence on the Qin State was increasing day by day, and now he was not exactly the Wei Ying in history, although Bai Dong did not directly intervene in the legislation of the Qin State this time, but the matter of borrowing Mu Xijing was also equivalent to a warning to him, this time Wei Ying was very smart and did not jump out to express his opinion, but he was already considering whether he should make some changes to the most criticized system of the Qin State? As soon as Bai Dong's principle of 'criminality and legality' came out, the first thing to bear the brunt of was the system of continuous seats he implemented, and he didn't want to face Bai Dong's mountain now.

Mu Xijing is now a brand-new topic, after the "Daqin Times" rounds of public opinion building, the discussion of the current laws and regulations of various countries by Chinese legalists is becoming more and more hot. This is enough for Bai Dong, the Huaxia Legalists have never lacked smart people, what they lack is only the vision of future generations, they have now sown a seed, there will be people who will cultivate, water, maintain, and finally let it take root and sprout and grow stronger, if Shen Dao, Shen Bu Harm and Wei Ying are unwilling to change, there will naturally be latecomers to replace them, all he has to do is to guide.

When the 'Muxijing phenomenon' was in full swing, Ms. Zhao Ji, the beautiful female editor-in-chief of "Daqin Times", had already looked at her alma mater, Fengming Academy, and then rushed over with a vote of male and female editors, because there will be a fierce collision of great ideas between the East and the West here, and the Chinese academic community will be a sensation.

Now Aristotle is obsessed with drinking tea, and for an ancient Greek who doesn't like water, this change is nothing short of epoch-making.

The Chinese people really enjoy it, their staple food is not sheep cheese and wheat cakes, but a variety of beautifully prepared dishes, not to mention the taste of the dishes, the fine porcelain bowl used to hold the dishes alone makes people appetizing. The fragrant tea is much stronger than the cereal porridge that the Greeks loved to drink, and this thing not only quenches thirst but also makes people think clearly, which is simply a perfect match for a scholar like him!

In fact, Aristotle also saw the tea in China, and it was found in Persia. However, it may be to fit the taste of the Persians, the Persian tea is not authentic enough, either cow and goat milk or brown sugar is added! When he first arrived in Qin, he was still a little unable to get used to this kind of Huaxia tea with a slightly bitter taste.

I still remember the first time I drank tea, Meng Ke actually looked at him with a little contempt, just like the nobles of Athens were looking down on the lowliest shepherd slaves! This made Aristotle furious, so after three days he learned all the means of cooking tea, and after seven days he could taste whether the tea came from the land of Wu Yue or the state of Chu Bashu! Every time he accurately stated the origin of the tea, Meng Ke's surprised expression as if he had just swallowed an egg made him feel refreshed to the bottom of his heart.

On the exquisitely carved Chu-style bare wood tea table, Aristotle lined up the fine porcelain tea sets, twisted the tea leaves and put them into the pot, washed them with ninety percent hot spring water and then flushed them, and then lifted the teapot very elegantly, poured a cup for himself and Meng Ke with the technique of 'Phoenix Three Nods', glanced at Meng Ke who was a little surprised, and smiled: "Master Meng, please." ”

Meng Ke snorted, raised the teacup and drank it, although he didn't say anything in his mouth, he was secretly surprised in his heart. This Greek's learning ability is really amazing, it's only been a few days, and he has learned this set of 'tea ceremony' created by Bai Dong ten out of ten, and he spent more time learning this thing than him.

Glancing at Aristotle, Meng Ke said lightly: "The Chinese civilization is broad and profound, and although the tea ceremony is wonderful, it is just a drop in the ocean and a feather of Kunpeng. Since a wise man like you has come to China, you should experience more of the wonders, such as my Confucian benevolence, which is enough for you to spend your whole life studying. ”

Aristotle looked at Meng Ke and suddenly laughed out loud: "What is benevolence? ”

"Those who are benevolent are the great return of the world, and those who are kings should also be upheld. If the king practices benevolence, then the people's lives will not be destroyed, and the people will have their fields to cultivate, they will have their food, fish to catch, and meat to eat during the New Year, so that the country will be rich and strong, the people will be obedient, and the people will be obedient, then the world will be healthy, and there will be no war and death, this is the way of benevolence. ”

Aristotle smiled and said, "Mencius said it well, but what if your king refuses to do the right thing?" So what? ”

"If the righteous are helped, but the unrighteous are helped, then the people can rise up and overthrow him! Then choose a benevolent monarch who is willing to do the royal way, this is the principle of 'the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light'. ”

"Hehe, wouldn't that lead to war, the same bloodshed? And even if you choose a king who is willing to do good things, what if he changes his mind halfway? Is there going to be another war to overthrow him? ”

Aristotle shook his head again and again: "Why can't there be democratic elections like Athens?" In Athens, all male citizens were free to elect their chief, and all major matters were voted on by the citizens' assembly. In this way, citizens can participate in politics and have their voices heard, and the head of the city-state implements the decisions based on the decisions of the majority of citizens. If the head of the city-state does not do well, he will have to step down if he is not re-elected after a certain period of time. With this system, the Athenian rulers would never dare to do anything wrong. Mengfuzi, the tea ceremony in Huaxia is very good, but it's a pity that your royal road is too backward, the real royal road in this world is not to look forward to the appearance of a Ming Jun, but 'Wujun'! So I want to change your words, 'The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is delusional!'" Even if there is a king and a head, it should be something that the people can elect and remove at any time! ”

"Master Mengzi, your benevolence and morality are too hypocritical, and you have to rely on human morality to restrain you, you must know that people are born with a selfish side, even a two-year-old child will snatch cheese with his siblings! If morality is reliable, Xerxes is the most merciful king in the world! So I think the most important thing is legal constraints, not simple moral preaching. What Huaxia needs is the law, not the Renjun of your dreams! ”

Meng Ke was so angry that his body trembled, and he pointed at Aristotle's nose and scolded: "You are simply more bastard than Shen Dao, Shen Bu Harm, and Wei Ying, who does not rely on the rule of the benevolent king but on the law, do you want to be a butcher like Wei Ying?" ”

"No, no, no, you have completely misunderstood me, I have studied their doctrine, and they cannot be called Legalists at all, because their Dharma is just a tool, and in the end it still serves the only king. And the law I advocate is for the citizens! ”

Aristotle shook his head like a rattle, and Meng Ke compared him with Wei Yingshendao and others, which was simply an insult to him. (To be continued.) )
