Chapter Fifty-Eight: Feeding War with War (Part II)

Baili Yun narrowed his eyes fiercely and sneered: "However, that was caused by improper previous measures. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the etiquette system of China, especially the way of Confucius and Mencius, to a considerable extent, shackled the generals who fought abroad, which led to this situation. ”

Xiao Yu, an old scholar, suddenly looked unhappy, blew his beard and asked: "You said that the way of Confucius and Mencius has bound the generals, this is completely slanderous, young people better not talk nonsense." Since ancient times, the way of Confucius and Mencius has been the moral standard of our Chinese nation, and we are proud of him, and even the Hu people outside the territory also admire and strive to be the first to learn. ”

Bailiyun pursed his lips disdainfully: "Since ancient times, not necessarily!" Confucianism has existed since ancient times, but the way of Confucius and Mencius only appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. And every country that believes in Confucianism is inevitably weaker. In the end, the final victory of the Warring States was also won by the Qin state, which admired legalism, and Qin Shi Huang became the first emperor. ”

Bai Liyun began to talk about the history of Confucianism in his memory: "In the Qin Dynasty, Confucianism has always been suppressed, because his ideas are not acceptable to the martial Qin people at all, and the Qin people only believe in the sword in their hands. ”

"It wasn't until the Han Dynasty needed to recuperate that the decayed, but easy to control the lower classes of Confucianism, was brought out."

"Finally, what is even more ironic is that during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu, in order to cater to the ideas of the upper class and maintain the situation of great unification, absorbed and integrated the doctrines of Legalism and Taoism, forming a situation in which the emperor's monarchy was divinely granted and centralized, and it became a situation in which hundreds of schools of thought were overthrown and Confucianism was respected alone."

With a sneer, Bai Liyun continued: "However, it is undeniable that Confucianism is, after all, something inherited from the decaying slave period, and it has too many inferior roots. After a long time, his shortcomings will inevitably be exposed! ”

Xiao Yu's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "What are the drawbacks?" ”

Bailiyun looked at him and said, "That's the inheritance of corruption, too much dogmatism. Because the positioning from the beginning was the upper class aristocracy and even the royal family, Confucianism and etiquette made the minds of a large number of lower-class people and low-class scholars closed to a certain extent, and the vast majority of lower-class people could not learn real knowledge, and could not even do simple literacy. ”

Xiao Yu was choked suddenly, indeed, this is an indisputable fact, because, Confucianism, to put it bluntly, is the knowledge of serving and upper-class people, what does the life and death of the people below have to do with them?

Bailiyun pressed step by step: "This is also the reason why later, especially the Three Kingdoms period, including later, unless they get a certain opportunity, the vast majority of intellectuals are the children of nobles, and even if the children of Han Shi are learned and capable, they are often not reused because of problems such as birth." Because, Confucianism focuses on strict hierarchies. ”

"Including Tai Shici, Zhao Zilong and many others, it is because the identity of a civilian Hanshi is often not reused, call you when you can use it, and put it aside when you can't use it. The upper class of nobles, there are very few commoner children among the officials! Identity, this is a place where Confucianism is very important, and it is also very important, and it is also a place of failure. ”

"You have to admit that Confucianism has limited the possibility of too many talents being discovered to a certain extent, which is a loss for the imperial court, a sorrow for the heroic scribes, and a disadvantage of the prevalence of Confucianism."

"On the other hand, what is even more serious is that because of the decay of Confucianism, the thinking of most of the upper class has been completely changed by your Confucian thought."

Bailiyun sneered: "You politicians who are full of brains, you only know how to play prestige and scheming all day long. Do you know that for the sake of the face of the so-called Celestial Empire, how many soldiers and soldiers threw their heads and spilled blood on the enemy generals and even kings who let go casually? Do you know how many people sacrificed themselves and shed blood to conquer the territory you easily gave up? However, it is ridiculous that you have passed a few words for the sake of a few words of so-called Confucian teachings, and for the sake of your face. ”

Bailiyun's cold words pierced everyone's hearts like an awl: "What is war? War is not child's play. War is cruelty; War is contention; War is the first naked interest. ”

"It's you who beat me and I beat you, grabbing land, grabbing people, grabbing money, grabbing supplies, but anything I can see, I can grab everything."

"With the sword in my hand, the sword in my hand, and the halberd in my hand. Chop, chop, stab. Kill, kill everything, everything I can see. ”

"Blood, black, gold, silver. Blazing blood, black and cold hearts, golden money, and blades that shimmered with silver light. This is war. ”

"Win or lose, just fight. The winner is king, and the loser is the loser. As a winner, you have everything, you can ask for money, you can ask for land, you can ask for people, you can ask for power, you can ask for anything, because you are the winner, and the loser has no power and ability to refute. Speaking of which, Bai Liyun saw that Li Shimin's eyes were getting hotter and hotter, as if he had taken a stimulant, and smiled secretly, it is indeed the emperor, it probably suits your appetite!

Turning around and looking at Xiao Yu, he continued to attack: "However, it was you stupid Confucian scholars who asked for the most undesirable thing, trampling. As the victors, you have repeatedly given up the rights that should belong to you, and instead tried to curry favor with the vanquished, not only did you want nothing, but gave them more things to show your ridiculous face of vanity. Then wait for the enemy to lick his wounds, and once again line up the iron hooves at the door, and trample on the faces of you bastards again. And it is the civilians who should have lived better who saved this, the Han Shi whom you look down on. ”

"Fools fool themselves, sad, this is the Confucianism you advocate, strive to develop, and then dedicate the fruits of the harvest to the Confucianism of the Hu people, ridiculous!"

Xiao Yu was speechless and pale.

Bailiyun snorted lightly and sneered: "Moral standards? I wonder what you think when you can't even eat the roots? When you sell your sons and daughters, or even eat your children, you know how ridiculous this sounds like! Please note that you are not only the ruler of the Xiao family now, but also an official of Datang, and you should think more about Datang than thoughtful and incomprehensible etiquette. ”

"The biggest difference between us and the Hu people is that we are educated and understand filial piety. That's enough, to hell with the other aristocratic cultivators and etiquette! ”

Xiao Yu was already completely carried by the rhythm of Bailiyun, and imagined the scene described by Bailiyun, and suddenly his face was full of horror, and his whole body was weak.
