Section 1485 Shortcomings of Legalism
If you talk about it now, in Chang'an City, there is the most lively, naturally the first is located on the east side of Changle Palace, close to Xuanping Gate Taichang and Dahonglu Yamen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Last year, when Chang'an City was renovated, Shaofu built a huge military camp and a residential area for military dependents in this area.
The world's eye-catching Yulinwei and Tiger Benwei's camp in Chang'an City is here.
The whole barracks, very grand.
The south is the camp of Yulinwei, with several large and small school fields, and a sprint field for cuirass training has been built, which can fully meet the daily training of 500 horsemen and parallel impacts.
The Tiger Benwei camp in the north is relatively smaller.
But when it comes to the completeness of facilities, it far exceeds Yu Linwei's camp.
It was here that many military facilities were built, including arsenals and barracks.
In particular, the arsenal of the Tiger Benwei is huge, and it is not much weaker than the arsenal of Chang'an outside the north of Weiyang Palace.
Maybe even a few points stronger.
Because, in this arsenal, the cuirass of the Han army in the battle of Mayi in the fourth year of Yuande was sealed, a total of 3,125 sets.
These first-generation standard cuirasses were flawed in their design, especially when moving at high speeds, and were prone to bruise the rider.
In the Battle of Mayi, none of the Han cuirassiers were killed by the enemy on the battlefield.
But after the battle, dozens of elite cavalrymen were seriously injured by their own armor, and more than a dozen of them died......
As for the other soldiers, almost all of them were wounded.
After the war, more than 300 people were discharged due to injuries......
This shocked the entire Han dynasty and the opposition, and the soldiers did not fall in the battle of the enemy's swords, but were bruised by their own armor......
The craftsmen of the Mo family and Shaofu gathered together to improve the irrationality of the armor of the Han army's cuirplate, and thus introduced the second-generation cuirass that was more suitable for rider combat.
This first generation, although it has all kinds of flaws and problems.
But in the end, it is a weapon of war that has cost a lot of money and used countless manpower and material resources to create.
It is obviously unreasonable to completely destroy and recast.
So, they were sealed and hung neatly on the walls of the armor storehouse and the like that deep in this arsenal.
Every half month, professional armor maintenance and maintenance personnel come here to clean rust, oil and wipe them off.
In order to ensure that the strongest armor built with these huge sums of money can maintain combat effectiveness as much as possible.
In the future, if something happens, these armors can be pulled directly out of the arsenal, and a powerful cuirassier cavalry can be organized immediately to suppress all bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
But at this time, the entire camp of Yulinwei and Hubenwei was crowded with people.
Countless examiners walked out of the camp in twos and threes, looking at the blazing sunshine and dense flow of people outside the camp, countless people invariably breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"I've finally finished the exam...... a Legalist scholar wearing a hedgehog hat bowed his head and sighed, some of which didn't dare to go back to this camp.
And his companions also let out a long sigh.
All of them are disciples of the Legalists, and they are all brothers from the Legalists' 'Hedong Academy'.
However, compared with the past, the disciples of Legalism today have not changed much.
Over the years, Legalism and the Huang Lao School have been the two schools that have changed the least among the hundreds of schools of thought in the Han Dynasty.
This has to do with the traditions of the Legalists themselves.
For hundreds of years, Legalism and Confucianism have been a tradition of using a two-track system. Both the family scripture system and the child transmission system jointly support the continuation of their respective scriptures.
However, Confucianism suffered a heavy blow in the wars of the late Qin and early Han dynasties!
Most of the classics and classics, including the Spring and Autumn Period, the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, and the Book of Changes, have almost all been lost.
Even the Analects are only fragments.
Today, most of the world's classics are actually missing editions and patchwork editions.
Therefore, after suffering a heavy blow, Confucianism learned from the pain, and in the early ten years of the Han Dynasty, countless scholars abandoned the view of the door and were widely discipled.
Fu Qiubo gave a lecture in Chang'an, and Ram Shou taught in Qi State......
These sages, connecting the past and the next, laid the most solid foundation for the prosperity of Confucianism today.
For example, Fuqiubo educated dozens of well-known scholars, including the father and son of King Chu Yuan and Lu Shengong, while Ram Shou cultivated the brothers Hu Wusheng and Dong Zhongshu.
On the other hand, although Legalism also suffered blows and losses during the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, many Legalist classics and works were lost.
However, relatively speaking, the losses suffered by Legalism in the war were far less than those of Confucianism.
As soon as the Han Dynasty was established, Legalism was taken seriously.
When Xiao He was ordered by Liu Bang to compile the Han Law, he was not less influenced by Legalist thought.
The entire Han law, until today, can still see the shadow of Qin law in general.
Many of the provisions have not even changed a word compared with the Qin Law.
In fact, even after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the officials and scholars of the Legalist family were not very sad.
It's just that in the early twenty or thirty years of the Han Dynasty, I needed to pretend to be my grandson and do chores for the old Huang faction.
But the Legalists have never left politics.
In the later period of the Lu Dynasty, the Legalists even counterattacked.
There are cool officials who are even very capable, and they were named liehous by Empress Lu. (This matter has been mentioned in the historical records and the Han book, but it is only a passing mention, and it is not said who it is?) Why was he feuded)
This is also the only record of a civil official feudal marquis in the Han dynasty so far.
It's just that this counterattack ended in tragedy.
The princes and ministers jointly punished Zhu Lu, not only arrested, executed, and placed under house arrest almost all the nobles and ministers who were close to the Lu family.
Pingyang Jinghou Cao Qi made a great contribution when he annihilated Zhulu - it was he who reported the news and diverted his attention, so that Zhou Bo was able to lead his army to besiege Weiyang Palace.
But only because the opposition was expressed during the discussion of cleaning the entire Lui system.
Cao Ji has since disappeared from the political arena.
As for those kittens and dogs, the fate of Lu's minions naturally doesn't need to be thought about.
After this change, the Legalists hibernated again for twenty years, until Chao Cuo appeared, and Fu made a comeback in the political arena.
To this day, the Legalists have completely controlled the power of the Tingwei, Zhijinwu, and the Imperial Historian Yamen, and have the power to formulate, amend, add and delete laws, as well as interpret and enforce them.
It can be said that the scenery is unique for a while, and even Confucianism seems to have to sing a foreign law and internal Confucianism, and use Confucianism to decorate the law.
However, the giants of the Legalists and the two thousand stones shattered this dream of Confucianism with their own hands at the last meeting of Shiqu Pavilion.
From the beginning of the eyebrows, until the face of the Shiqu Pavilion meeting.
The speed of the transformation and the ruthlessness of the knife are hard to guard.
It is almost difficult for outsiders to understand, what happened in the days before and after the meeting of Shiqu Pavilion? So much so that the Legalists would rather go to the Mo family to cooperate, bow to the old Huang faction, and kill the Confucianism who is from the same source as themselves?
Naturally, this question is clear only to the Legalists themselves.
At this moment, these Legalist disciples of Hedong Academy have accumulated a thick haze on their faces.
The young man at the head looked at the Confucian scholars not far away with complicated expressions, gathered in twos and threes, talking and laughing, with relaxed expressions.
Teeth clucking.
"These shafts!" Cursing in his heart, the young man said: "Go back and give me a review of the "Arithmetic Book", "Geometry Book", "Arithmetic Book", "Arithmetic Scripture" ......"
When the others heard this, they bowed and said, "No! ”
This young man, surnamed Wang, Chengzi Fengwen, looked like he was about twenty-three or four, with a strong body, a divine eye, and an extremely heroic look.
His father is now Wang Yuan, the doctor of the thousand-stone "Shenzi".
Wang Yuan is the leading expert on Shenzi today.
The others were Wang Cheng's younger brothers, and they were also classmates who taught his father with him.
The Hedong Academy, or the Hedong Shenzi School, is an outlier among the hundreds of schools of thought in the entire Han Dynasty.
In their eyes, spy politics is not only not a bad thing, but on the contrary, a good thing.
They were convinced that the holy king needed to supervise the ministers, and the ministers supervised the bureaucrats, and the bureaucrats ran over the people.
In this way, the world can be peaceful.
Therefore, in fact, this academy is a hatchery for future high-ranking bureaucrats and a training center for future spy leaders.
After all, spies with ideals and beliefs are much stronger than those who are glamorous and strange on the outside.
However, no matter how different the Hedong Academy is, it is also a school of Legalism.
It is destined to have the inherent stubborn disease of Legalism - poor mathematics.
In all the examinations, the Legalist scholar lost the most points in mathematics among all schools.
For Legalists, those who can answer six out of ten math questions in each round of each exam are talented.
Among the Confucian scholars, answering the six questions correctly is only passing......
There is no way to do this, people's energy is always limited.
If you give a few more points of talent in one area, in another, it will naturally become a shortcoming.
The battlefield of the Legalists is always about punishment, not anything else.
This dooms them not to put too much energy elsewhere.
It is not unacceptable for the Minister of Legalism to be bad at mathematics.
As long as you know how to figure out your intentions, and then bravely enforce the law and are willing to kill, you are not afraid of no political achievements.
But the advent of the examination has broken this situation.
Since the second year of the first emperor, the first examination, mathematics and geometry have always accounted for a particularly large proportion of the examination questions over the years.
Even, in some cases, there are as many as fifteen arithmetic problems!
This forced all schools of thought to pay attention to arithmetic and geometry.
But here's the problem...... In mathematics and geometry, Legalism is congenitally deficient.
The disciples of Shang Jun who specialized in the 'Teachings of the Greatest Strength', the disciples of Shen Buxian who were full of power and power thoughts, and the piles of Han Feizi believers, did not have much energy to study and delve into mathematics and geometry.
After all, you can't expect a judge to be able to solve calculus, and you can't expect a jailer to understand equations.
If you are reasonable, it is already remarkable to be able to thoroughly understand the "Book of Laws" and the countless works of Legalism.
However, this is the rule of the game, the Legalists have to adapt if they can adapt, and if they can't adapt, they still have to adapt!
They can only study all kinds of mathematical books and writings, but the results of this can be imagined.
The arithmetic exam held every year is torture and devastation for the people of the Legalists.
The disciples of Confucianism, on the other hand, are like fish in water.
Among the Confucian disciples, mathematical geniuses and geniuses are endless.
The lord of the capital, Gongsun Hong, even said that he could calculate the balance and expenses by looking at the account book.
Not far away, those Confucian scholars who were gathering together to discuss and discuss today's exam questions seemed to have also discovered Wang Cheng and others, they came over with a smile, and a young man led by him shouted at Wang Cheng: "Brother Fengwen, I heard that you didn't do well in the exam?" Do you want my sons of Dayang Academy to make up for you? ”
Confucianism and Legalism have been torn apart since the last meeting in Shiqu Pavilion.
Not long ago, the giants of Legalism took the lead in attacking and criticizing Confucianism, directly challenging the fundamental and core ideas of Confucianism, which added fuel to the fire of this relationship.
The relationship between the two factions of Confucianism and Law today is simply extremely bad!
Not to mention the relationship between the Ram, Gu Liang and the giants of the Legalists, even the relationship between the various primary schools below has also deteriorated to the extreme.
The great debate on Confucianism at the ideological and theoretical level has been opened in an all-round way.
Each other, they have long been angry.
As a result, Confucianism even infiltrated the Mohists quietly into the Hanzhong region, and there was no time to take care of it.
In order to concentrate their energy and strength, they can deal with the attacks of the Legalists.
There is no way, the rise of the Mo family, that is in the future.
And the threat of Legalism, this is the problem that we have to face now!
Wang Cheng glanced at those guys, laughed, and said, "Don't worry about you, you better go back and read the Book of the Law and read Shang Jun's book...... What I have to test tomorrow is the name of punishment and governance! ”
When these Confucian scholars heard this, their faces turned gray, and they obviously suffered a heavy blow.
The examination system has developed so far and has been very perfect.
The whole examination is divided into three rounds in total.
The first round is a sieve that will brush off all those who don't meet the requirements or fail their studies.
The rest of the people will all be considered officials.
Since you are an official, what you have to test is naturally the basic skills of various officials and your understanding of all kinds of common sense.
Of course, it still won't be too difficult.
However, the basic legal provisions and the legislative principles and judgment standards of the Chinese law are still mandatory.
Otherwise, if you go down to become an official, but you don't even understand the law, let alone judgment, then the shame must be the state!
In addition, other mathematical skills, arithmetic skills, basic common sense problems, differences between weights and measures, current political news of the country, and changes in the situation in the world are all tested.
These exams are divided into four sections, which are arithmetic and geometry; criminal name, governance; Case study of current affairs, the world and the last one.
The group with the highest overall score will advance to the third round.
Those who can enter the third round are the leaders of their respective schools, and they must also be the elites who have passed the second round of screening.
Their overall ability must be stronger than other competitors.
Of course, in the current situation, because of the two thousand stones, the princes and the princes, as well as the sons and nephews of the old ministers, loyal ministers and righteous people, they enjoy preferential treatment and extra points.
Yes, there are also many characters who are not actually very capable, but they can also travel three times.
However, such people are not competitors.
Because, they usually just come to gild and mix up the name.
