Chapter 940: The Crown Prince's Teachings

Kou Feng's words made Jiang Wan speechless for a long time. However, he didn't want to deny Kou Feng, but because it was the first time in so long time that he had thought about this issue.

Rich, so peeped at.

Therefore, when the state of Chu is strong, try to eliminate the weak around it. This is His Majesty's basic strategy, Jiang Wan's heart rose with a sense of enlightenment.

"I understand." In the end, Jiang Wan bowed to Kou Feng and said.

"Well, then go down and hire some officials with lower talents, but better manners to teach them Chu Xue, remember, Confucianism." Kou Feng said solemnly.

Kou Feng planned to spread the Confucianism of the ten southern countries, not because Kou Feng did not attach importance to Confucianism, but because passing it on to the Legalists, Zonghengjia, Mohists and the like would only strengthen the enemy country.

Confucianism, on the other hand, is a doctrine for cultivating the mind, which has great significance, but it is relatively weak in governing the country.

Wan Yingnuo said.

Immediately, the two talked a few words, and Jiang Wan got up to say goodbye.

"It's really a long way to go."

After Jiang Wan left, Kou Feng continued to sit for a moment and sighed. It's true that the higher you go, the bigger the burden becomes. It's not just about fighting for supremacy.

It is already necessary to look at the surrounding barbarians with the eyes of the entire Central Plains.

"Come on, set up the Jiaofang Palace."

After sighing, Kou Feng quickly collected his mood. Ordered loudly.

The Jiaofang Hall is the dormitory where the queen lives.

The palace of the king of Chu is still simple, but it has already taken shape in all aspects. For example, the Queen Mother Gan is called Yongning Palace. Lived in the Yongning Palace.

And Kou Feng's own residence is Zhengde Palace. Under it is the Jiaofang Palace, where Queen Cai Da lives.

Because of the abundance of peppercorns, such a name was given in the Han Dynasty. Kou Feng directly followed the name of the palace in the pre-Han period.

"No."

A guard outside the door said yes, and immediately went down to prepare for the chariot.

A moment later, Kou Feng boarded the chariot and headed for the Jiaofang Palace.

Kou Feng went to the Jiaofang Hall for a temporary idea, and wanted to come over to see Cai Da and Kou Chang.

However, when Kou Feng arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, he was surprised to see Kou Chang reading Han Feizi.

Jiaofang Palace, inside the main hall.

Kou Feng knelt and sat in the first place, and Kou Chang was sitting in this position just now reading. At this moment, Cai Da knelt next to Kou Feng, while Kou Chang knelt below.

Kou Feng looked at the piles of bamboo slips on the case, and looked at them casually, they were all Han Feizi.

In the state of Chu, the book of Chu has basically been popularized among officials and scholars. Kou Feng is the king of Chu, of course, there is a book of Chu.

However, in Kou Feng's palace, there are still many bamboo slips in the collection.

Part of it was left over from Kou Feng's previous study days, and Kou Feng cherished it very much. Some of them are annotations by famous artists. Kou Feng looked at it, this volume of Han Feizi was annotated by Xu Shu back then.

This is not found in the Chu book on the market.

Kou Feng looked at the bamboo slips on the case, a little distracted. At the beginning, he worked hard under Xu Shu's tent in anticipation of soaring. Now, his sons are already studying.

After sighing for a while, Kou Feng quickly drew his attention back to the present.

Looking at Kou Chang, who was kneeling in front of him, Kou Feng's heart suddenly felt a little guilty, it turned out that this son had completed his enlightenment.

I've already started reading books like Han Feizi.

has been leading troops all year round, and I really ignore a lot.

"How long have you been reading Han Feizi?" After feeling guilty for a moment, Kou Feng raised his head and asked Kou Changdao.

"Father, my son, it's been three months since my son read Han Feizi." Kou Chang replied. Articulate and not timid at all.

Hearing this, Kou Feng turned around and gave Cai Da an appreciative look, the enlightenment was good. You must know that Kou Chang is only a little over six years old now, but he can already read Han Feizi.

And it was three months ago.

"Then tell my father what you understand." After glancing at Cai Da appreciatively, Kou Feng turned around and asked Kou Changdao kindly.

"Han Fei explained a lot in the book, but Erchen felt that the way to be a king is just about rewards and punishments, as long as the rewards and punishments are clear, you can make the generals serve their lives and do their best."

Kou Chang raised his fist and replied, his words were simple and shocking, but they contained incomparable confidence.

This kid is very smart.

Kou Feng glanced at Kou Chang with appreciation again, this Han Feizi is the highest achievement of the theory of the set of laws. There are many of them, but the most important is the reward and punishment.

But rewards and punishments are not given to others.

If the right to reward is lent to someone, then the minister is attached to another. If the right to punish is lent to someone, the courtiers are more afraid of someone.

If the reward and punishment are lent to one person. Then the king is basically finished.

Han Feizi's entire theory is exhorting the emperor how to consolidate power, power, use power, technology, and power to consolidate his position and govern the country.

As long as you pay attention to these two words, you will be a qualified king of the future.

Cai Da's eyes flashed with joy, as the queen, she was very qualified. The sitting posture is graceful and elegant, and it is very imposing. It's also very dedicated.

Only occasionally attends important things with Kou Feng, such as sacrificing heaven and earth, etc. Generally live in the deep palace and educate Kou Chang.

However, people are selfish.

Of course, Cai Da also has it, and her selfishness is to let Kou Chang be able to sit firmly in the position of crown prince. Among the former Han Dynasty, most of the princes were abolished.

The reason is that the crown prince is not like the emperor.

Such as Liu Rong, the abolished prince of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. and Liu Ju, the prince of the Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. These are all examples of sons whose personality is not like that of their fathers, and they have been abolished.

Kou Feng leads troops all year round and thinks more about national affairs. There is no time to pay attention to this, but Cai Da, as a mother, has already begun to prepare for a rainy day.

vowed to teach his son Kou Chang to be, and his personality and temperament were like Kou Feng's old son. Therefore, when Kou Chang was enlightened, Cai Da did not let him learn simple, nor Confucianism, soldiers, etc., but only let Kou Chang learn Han Feizi.

Here, Cai Da was glad that Kou Chang could be affirmed by Kou Feng. Over there, Kou Feng suddenly asked, "What does Wang Er think of Confucianism?" ”

"The son of Confucianism has not read it, but I heard the queen mother say that Confucianism is the way of benevolence and forgiveness, and sometimes it is too kind for women." Kou Chang replied.

And so it was. A sigh flashed in Kou Feng's eyes, and at the same time he was a little happy.

From just now, Kou Feng had discovered Cai Da's selfishness. However, in Kou Feng's opinion, Cai Da saw things too simply.

The queen did a good job, but she treated her son no different from an ordinary mother. I hope to get my father's affirmation and inherit everything from my father.

This is true in ordinary people's families, but in his Kou clan, it is a little pale.

Learning from Han Feizi is fundamentally about governing the country, not simply inheriting the family business. Mothers should also teach a qualified prince, not a simple son.

The reason why Kou Feng sighed was because this son had gone a little astray, and if he continued, he was afraid it would be difficult. Fortunately, it was also discovered early.

It has only been three months since I read Han Feizi, that is, I have not gone deeper. It can be corrected. And this son is also very smart, if he is taught by a famous teacher, he will definitely become a generation of Ming Jun in the future.

Kou Feng didn't expect this son to be as virtuous as Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaojing, and Emperor Xiaowu, but he also hoped that his Kou family's national honor could continue.

In the early Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaojing, Emperor Xiaowu, all of them were Ming Jun within three generations, and later Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty were not famous, but they were all Ming Jun.

In particular, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was the lord of Zhongxing.

If the Kou clan can be as prosperous as the Liu clan, Kou Feng will be satisfied.

Kou Feng's solemnity made Cai Da very worried. Kou Chang looked at Kou Feng incomprehensibly, why did his father not approve after he spoke, but solemnly.

"My father has been away all the year round, and it is my father's fault that he didn't teach you well." After a long time, Kou Feng said.

Cai Da's face suddenly turned a lot paler. What did she do wrong?

"Ask my father to teach." This son was quite calm, lowered his head, and asked for advice like a little adult.

"Legalism is good. But why did the Qin state of usage, II, die? Because the Legalists are too strict, and the students of the Fa are all powerful sorcerers, they are just keen on their own power. Therefore, Li Si, who was the culmination of the Legalist family, was able to unite with the eunuch Zhao Gao to frame Fusu, the crown prince of the First Emperor Yingzheng. Even heroes like the First Emperor couldn't handle these problems, let alone you and me. ”

Kou Feng taught carefully.

"The use of the law is easy to produce power ministers, and the country will die?" Kou Chang's face turned pale and frightened.

Feng nodded affirmatively.

This is the era of the centralized monarchy of the Han Dynasty, in the troubled times, the use of heavy codes can calm the world, and in the prosperous times, the use of heavy codes is to find death.

Although it is said that it is clear to Kou Feng that there are Lu Xun and Deng Ai, it is obviously impossible for them to die when they reach their son. But what about grandchildren, great-grandchildren.

If the rule of law is simply used, the country will definitely have a short life.

"Then how can you govern the country?" Seeing that Kou Feng was so sure, Kou Chang's face turned even paler at first, but then, enlightenment immediately appeared on his little face, and he hurriedly asked for advice.

Because Kou Chang saw that although his father definitely couldn't rule the country by law, he was very calm, and obviously had other strategies.

"The Outer Saint and the Inner King."

Four words came out of Kou Feng's mouth.

"The Outer Saint and the Inner King?"

Kou Chang didn't quite understand.

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, why did he respect Confucianism alone? It is because of the benevolence of Confucian women, although they are not very good at governing the country, they have a lot of integrity and can produce loyal ministers. When the monarch is unknown, it is up to them to defend our Kou clan. And the Legalists have more power sorcerers, and it is obviously unreliable to rely on them. The usage can govern the country more effectively, and the use of Confucianism can more effectively protect the Liu family. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose Confucianism. ”

Kou Feng said.

This is the experience that Kou Fenghuo summed up in this era, in the past, he looked down on Confucianism, so he studied Han Feizi first. However, after sitting in his current position, he can look at this era with the eyes of Emperor Wu of Han.

In fact, Kou Feng was also able to forcibly promote reform. What kind of democracy can be forcibly promoted. But that would cause extreme confusion.

Don't look at the later generations of Europe is very beautiful, but every country has a bloody history. Countless kings were overthrown, and two were hanged.

In addition to this, it was accompanied by incomparable bloodshed, and countless countless people died.

If Kou Feng forcibly pushed, there would be two possibilities at that time, and Huaxia would have entered the era of civilization from then on. A constitutional monarchy or something. Another possibility is that the Kou clan is finished. China once again entered the feudal society.

Of these two possibilities, the probability of the latter is almost eighty percent. So, Kou Feng wasn't ready to do that. If he doesn't do it, he certainly can't pass on his thoughts to his son.

He is the king who lives in this age and must forget everything that comes to come.

Therefore, what Kou Feng has to do is to teach a Ming Jun who can adapt to the feudal era, and Ming Jun means that he will not be killed. Of course, Kou Feng hopes that his son can live well. It's like he struggled to adapt to troubled times.

On this basis, some ideas can be instilled.

For example, to respect China alone, try to expand the territory, spread Chinese characters, bloodlines, and so on. These are all thoughts that Kou Feng wants to instill in Kou Chang.

This is what Kou Feng feels as a Han Chinese. I'm sorry for the rest. Kou Feng is really not such a great person.
