"Ahh As soon as Qin Yiren's words fell, he heard an exclamation, and the sound was so loud that it almost lifted the roof of the palace.

Not only the scholars and scholars from Shandong were surprised by Mo Ming, but even the ministers of the Qin State were also shocked.

That is, Fan Sui, Wang Qian, Huang Shigong, Wei Yi, Li Si, Han Fei, Fan Zeng, Meng Wu, Meng Fu, Cai Ze, who are not shocked?

You must know that in the minds of the ancients, the saint is the supreme being, extremely sacred, and everyone must respect him, and there must be no disrespectful words.

Even if you don't accept their point of view, the way of doing things, you can't be so direct, saying that saints are used to step on them, this is too amazing, who can not be shocked? Who wouldn't dare not be shocked?

"Your Majesty, are you joking?" Fan Sui was stunned for a long time, and then he reacted and hurriedly reminded Qin Yiren.

If this word is spread, Qin Yiren will definitely be scolded as an arrogant person, and he will be infamous on his back, Fan Sui is kind intention.

"Yes, the king is joking." Wang Jian and the others hurriedly echoed in order to reduce the seriousness of this matter.

"It's a joke, it's a joke." The courtiers, the scholars and the learned people from Shandong all agreed.

Dominating the world is a great cause, Qin Yiren can accomplish such a great cause, it is very admirable, they have no lack of admiration for Qin Yiren, and they don't want him to be infamy.

However, their kindness was in vain, and they only listened to Qin Yidao: "The widow didn't laugh. ”

"This ......" Fan Sui was stunned and hurriedly said: "Dare to ask how to explain what you say?" ”

originally thought that Qin Yiren was joking, but where did he think that Qin Yiren actually admitted that he was not joking. The kindness was in vain. So. With Fan Sui's intelligence. It will not be unexpected that Qin Yiren must have a reason for saying this.

"You must wonder why the widow said such arrogant things, don't you?" Qin Yiren stood up, glanced at the people in the hall, his eyes flashed, and said, "The widow will relieve your doubts." ”

It's all about stretching your neck. Staring at Qin Yiren with round eyes, he wanted to figure it out.

"Chun Yuyue, you mentioned the first king, that is, a saint, do you know what a saint is?" Qin Yiren did not directly explain his doubts, but asked Chong Chun Yue Yue.

"This ......" Chun Yuyue never expected that Qin Yiren would ask him a question, but he didn't react for a while, and he was a little confused.

"Your Majesty. Talent and virtue are all called saints. Chun Yuyue was stunned, and finally reacted. Busy explaining what a saint is.

"Hmm." Everyone in the temple agreed with this, and this was the most popular interpretation of the saint at that time.

"Wrong!" Qin Yiren categorically vetoed it.

"Ahh Another exclamation rang out, all of them in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

This was the most popular definition of "saint" at that time, that is, "to stop at the highest good", that is, there was no more perfect person than a saint.

is such a convincing explanation, when it comes to Qin Yiren's mouth, it is wrong, who can not be surprised?

"Big mistake." Qin Yiren also added a special sentence.

These words were like thunder, and they slammed into everyone's hearts, and everyone was thundered like a stake.

"In your minds, the Three Kings and Five Emperors Zhou Gong is a saint, right? Do you know why they became saints? Qin Yiren's eyes flickered, and he asked rhetorically.

The Three Kings and Five Emperors have made great contributions to China and are recognized as saints. However, as for why they became saints, they can really ask people.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the Three Kings and Five Emperors are saints is because they have made great contributions to the world and are praised by future generations." Chun Yuyue thought about it.

"Your words are reasonable, but they are not accurate enough." Qin Yiren shook his head and said, "You only know their success, but you don't know why they succeed." The reason why they can succeed is because they have keen insight, can grasp the context of the times, know what to do to restore peace to the world, and in a word, 'work with the passage of time'. ”

Later generations are praising the Three Kings and Five Emperors of Zhou, because they have achieved great success and benefited the people, and Confucianism has enshrined them as dogmas and vigorously preached the need to be "the first king of law".

However, Confucianism did not see why they succeeded, otherwise Confucius and Mencius would not have advocated "self-denial and revenge" and demanded the restoration of the outdated political philosophy of the Zhou Dynasty.

"When the Three Kings and Five Emperors were in the context of their time, they had the needs of their time. However, the Three Kings and Five Emperors are almost thousands of years old from the era we live in now, and the context of our time is very different from theirs. Qin Yiren counted them on his fingers and said: "When the Three Kings and Five Emperors were the time of the Three Kings and Five Emperors, Huaxia was only as big as the Central Plains, and the current territory of Great Qin was vast, hundreds of times larger; The mouths of the Three Kings and Five Emperors were scarce, and now there are many mouths of Great Qin, no less than 20 million, which is hundreds of times that of the Three Kings and Five Emperors. The mountains and rivers have changed dramatically, if we use the law of the first kings and the law of the three kings and five emperors to govern our era, we will definitely not succeed. ”

"Reasonable." Fan Sui, Wang Qian, Huang Shigong, Wei Yi, and Li Si, who had outstanding political wisdom, all nodded their heads heavily.

Of course, not everyone has the political wisdom they have, and many people shake their heads in disapproval.

Chun Yuyue retorted loudly and said: "Your Majesty, the lawless first king, there is no way to govern, when the world is unified today, the law of the first king must be carried out, so that the world can be peaceful." ”

This man is notoriously pedantic, clinging to the laws of the saints.

"That's right, the law of the saints cannot be abolished." Immediately, there was a chorus of echo.

There are many people who think like this.

"Chun Yuyue, the widow asked you, how many feet of cloth did you need to wear when you were three years old?" Qin Yiren did not answer positively, but asked again.

"Two feet." Chun Yuyue didn't want to answer, but he had to answer, because he really wanted to find out what kind of medicine was sold in Qin Yiren's gourd.

"How many feet of cloth did you have to wear when you were seven years old?" Qin Yiren asked again.

"Three feet."

"What about ten?"

"Five feet."

"How many feet do you need now?"

"Seven feet."

Qin Yiren and Chun Yuyue asked and answered, causing everyone to widen their eyes and look at Qin Yiren. What does this robe have to do with the state affairs in question?

"Chun Yu Yue. Can you still wear the two-foot cloth you used to wear as a child? Qin Yiren asked again.

"I can't." Such an obvious thing. I still want to ask each other here, Chun Yuyue is disdainful, and he can't help but crack the corners of his mouth.

"Why not?" Qin Yiren asked again.

"Whew!" Chun Yuyue sneered and said, "What is so clear, why do you need to ask more." He didn't bother to answer.

"What you are saying is nothing more than that your body embryo has become taller, and the clothes made of two-foot cloth when you were a child no longer fit your embryo. If you understand this principle, why don't you understand that the events of the time of the Three Kings and Five Emperors are no longer suitable for today? Only then did Qin Yiren come to a conclusion. said: "The Three Kings and Five Emperors were like your childhood, and now the current situation is like you now, do you understand?" ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! As soon as Qin Yiren's words fell, a sound of praise sounded, and many people bowed their heads slightly, greatly approving.

This metaphor is very vivid, the era of the Three Kings and Five Emperors is the beginning of China, and many things are in the embryonic state. By the time of the Warring States period, it can be said that it was already very successful. The territory is wider, and the mouth is larger.

"This ......," Chun Yuyue wanted to refute. But I couldn't find the words to refute it.

He wanted to refute unless he admitted that he could still wear the robe he had made of two feet of cloth from his childhood.

"If Daqin wants to govern the world well, he must step on the shoulders of the saints, so that he can stand tall, see far, and plan far, so that the world will be peaceful and achieve greater achievements." Qin Yiren shook his voice and said: "It's not as you Chun Yuyue said, King Fa Xian, regardless of whether what the first king did was right or not, he copied it with a fool of his head. The successful experience of the sage can be used as a reference by Daqin; The lessons of the saints, Daqin must learn, this is the right way. ”

"Good!" A cheer rang out.

After Qin Yiren's explanation and persuasion, many people have turned the corner and agree with this statement.

"The law of three generations is to divide the seal, and the terrible consequences of the separation, do you know?" Qin Yiren rushed to Yue and said: "The first disadvantage of dividing the feud is not conducive to the Son of Heaven to restrain the princes. The princes have land, cities, and mouths, and they have money and food, and they can do whatever they want, and they do not obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, and some people even raise troops to fight against the Son of Heaven. This is an old thing in the Zhou room, and this is an important reason for the decline of the Zhou room. ”

The feudal system could not effectively control the princes, because the princes had land, cities, mouths, money and food, so they could build an army and have the strength to compete with the Son of Heaven.

At the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was a war between Zhou Tianzi and the princes, and the result was the defeat of Zhou Tianzi, so the prestige of Zhou Tianzi was greatly reduced, and the affairs of the Son of Heaven emerged one after another, and in this way, Zhou Tianzi could not control the princes.

"The second is unfavorable, not conducive to integrity, and not sympathetic to the people of the country." Qin Yiren wrenched his fingers and said: "The Duke of Zhou built the palace and became the princes of the Wanghui, one is to check the performance, and the other is to collect the tributes of the princes, that is, gifts. Depending on the importance of the gifts, the Zhou family determined the loyalty of the princes, which would be overlooked, and those with ulterior motives would use this to deceive the Son of Heaven. Chun Yuyue, you are a well-educated person, you should know a lot about such things, right? ”

"Yes, many, many, endlessly." Chun Yuyue didn't want to answer, but he had to answer because it was true.

"If the Son of Heaven wants to receive gifts, the princes will follow suit, I will accept you, and in the end, all the rituals and laws will be thrown out of the clouds, and it will become exploitation and disregard for the people." Qin Yiren sighed with emotion and said: "The territory of Shandong is wider than that of Great Qin, and there are more mouths than Great Qin, but in the end, it was destroyed by Great Qin, what is the reason?" Because they exploited excessively, their taxes were uncertain, and they could be changed at any time, and the people of the country had a hard time living. Chun Yuyue, you are a Qi person, do you know how Qi people hate such things? ”

"Yes." Cold sweat flowed down Chun Yuyue's forehead.

What Qin Yiren said was the truth, and everyone had to admit that it was true. Such exploitation started with Zhou Tianzi, Zhou Tiankaizi wanted to receive gifts and tributes, could the princes not accept them?

The upward and downward effects are also!

"The third disadvantage of the sub-feudal system is that there is no chance for talented people to get ahead." Qin Yiren's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Among you, not all of you, but also the vast majority of people have the sorrow of uselessness, right?" ”

"yes." A roaring response sounded, like thunder, and many people shook their heads in regret.

"Look at the court again, Fan Sui, Huang Shi, Wei Yi, Meng Fu, Han Fei, Li Si, Cai Ze, Fan Zeng, they are all from Shandong, and the reason why they entered Qin is because Daqin has a place for them to display their talents. The reason why Great Qin was able to provide them with a place to use was because Great Qin practiced a county system, not a feudal system. Qin Yiren pointed at Fan Sui and said.

Fan Sui, Huang Shi, Wei Yi, Meng Wei, Han Fei, Li Si, Cai Ze, and Fan Zeng are not Qin people, but they are reused in the Qin State, because the Qin State did not carry out a feudal system, but a county system, the talented can be reused, and the untalented can only stand aside, and there will be no phenomenon of "standing in the pit and not".

This is too convincing, Chun Yuyue bowed his body and said: "Chun Yuyue understands, Daqin should be abolished and divided into counties and counties." (To be continued......)
