After making an appearance, Liu Che accepted the high hat that the princes and ministers put on him with peace of mind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, he asked, "In that case, then let's talk about ......."

"The one who is disputed by the ministers is the right and wrong of the Zhibow case and the Sanbei case...... the Legalist scholar prayed.

Of course, Liu Che knew about this direct bow case and the Sanbei case, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked, "What is a straight bow case?" What is the Three Norths Case? ”

At this time, Confucianism could no longer bear it - if this initiative was taken up by the Legalists, then there was no doubt that Confucianism might have to carry a big heel this time.

So, another disciple of Dong Zhongshu, Lu Bushu, immediately came out to worship and said: "Your Majesty, please let Rong Chen come for Your Majesty......"

Liu Che naturally allowed - even in today's Tingwei Yamen, criminals are allowed to defend themselves!

"Your Majesty, this case of bowing directly is a sheep theft case in the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period......" Lu Bushu bowed deeply: "As contained in the "Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu Family": Chu has a person who bows directly, and his father steals sheep and admonishes him, and he will be punished by the upper hand. Bow straight and ask for it. will be punished, and the official will say: "The father stole the sheep and told him, don't you also believe it?" Isn't it filial piety to replace him with his father? Believe in filial piety and punish it, will there be anyone in the country who will not be punished? "When King Jing heard it, he didn't punish him. Confucius said: Amazing! Bow straight to the letter, a father and carry the name! Therefore, it is better to bow directly to the faith, than to have no faith......"

Liu Che listened, but smiled.

"This Confucianism is really the essence of the Spring and Autumn Period's penmanship...... Liu Che sighed in his heart: "The methods of the later generations of public knowledge are nothing more than that......"

In fact, there are multiple versions of the Straight Bow case.

For example, this version of the Lu family in the Spring and Autumn Period.

And this version recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu family is the most beautiful, gentle, and perfect version of all versions.

bowed down to report his father for stealing sheep, and was finally pardoned by the king of Chu.

There is no doubt that this is what the Confucian scholars need.

In this way, the problem of loyalty and filial piety cannot be avoided is avoided, and the values adhered to by Confucianism are highlighted.

But the problem is that the Legalists want to argue with Han Feizi and Zhuangzi's version! That is the dark ending.

The version that bowed straight to report his father for stealing sheep and was killed by Ling Yin.

Therefore, the Legalists immediately went berserk, and the young scholar immediately interjected and bowed: "Your Majesty, what the ministers and Confucianists have discussed, it is not the same theory!" It is the public case contained in "Han Feizi": Chu You bowed directly, his father stole sheep, and confessed to the officials. Ling Yin said: 'Killing' thinks that it is straight to the king and bends to the father, and revenge is guilty! ”

Lu Bushu immediately bowed and said: "I haven't heard of this, don't make something out of nothing and deceive you!" ”

This accusation is too sharp!

Moreover, it is too discouraged, too self-sufficient.

Even Liu Che frowned slightly, which is why Liu Che has always disliked Confucianism.

In the eyes of Confucianism, only what they recorded was true.

What others recorded, if it is beneficial to him, such as the things recorded in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" on the Zhibow case, he will admit it, but the stories recorded in "Han Feizi" are regarded as invisible.

Just like Confucius sorted out the "Book of Songs" and "Book of Songs" back then, it is also like when Zi Xia sharpened the Spring and Autumn Period.

This kind of disregard for divine skills and ostrich divine skills, Liu Che has seen countless times in the public knowledge of later generations.

It's disgusting indeed.

However, Liu Che knew very well that as an emperor, he could use his own will to indirectly influence and intervene in the development of scholarship and thought, but he could not personally end up and replace the will of the hundred schools of thought with his own will.

In that case, it will be a very bad head.

It will also erase the diversity of thought and scholarship.

To some extent, they will even become people they hate and dislike.

Just like the story, the warrior worked hard to kill the dragon, but in the end, he became the new dragon.

Therefore, Liu Che smiled slightly, and then said: "In the history books, there are different opinions, why should the Qing and others argue over the difference between the families? And in my opinion, I'm afraid that whether it is the content of "Lü's Spring and Autumn" or the theory of "Han Feizi", its essence is the same, right? ”

Of course it's the same!

Dong Zhongshu came out and bowed: "Shengming is no more than Your Majesty, "Analects" has said: Ye Gongyu Confucius: Our party has a straight bower, his father is a sheep, and the son is a witness. Confucius said: The straight person of our party is different, the father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father, and it is straight in it! ”

And this is the ultimate origin of this Qianqiu Gong case, and it is also the key to the hundreds of years of turmoil in Confucianism.

Straight down the case, it's nothing big in itself.

However, because it involves the contradiction between the two schools of Confucianism and law, it has been boiling for hundreds of years.

Back then, a large number of Confucian scholars entered Qin, but they were all driven out by the Legalists, which is the reason.

The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

Since Dong Zhongshu is gone, of course Zhang Hui can't sit still, he moved his eyes slightly, and a Legalist doctor on his left side immediately came out to bow and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has two thousand stones, "Han Feizi" Doctor Deng Yan, please play......"

Liu Che turned his head, saw this person, and hurriedly said, "Please speak!" ”

Although this Dr. Deng is unknown in history, there are many great powers among his disciples.

Many Legalist officials in the early and middle period of Emperor Wu were all from his disciples.

The most famous is Xianxuan.

Deng Yan bowed and said: "The minister thinks that what Dong Zi said and what he did is also a big miao!" Confucius thought that the father was hidden for the son, and the son was hidden for the father, that is, straight, and the minister dared to ask, where is Chu Jun? What does Chu Fa care about? Could it be that for the sake of filial piety, even loyalty is not wanted? ”

He glared at Dong Zhongshu directly, and said aggressively: "Dare to ask Dong Zi, if someone witnesses his father and intends to cause trouble in the world and steal the country, what should this person do?" ”

This immediately made Dong Zhongshu speechless.

This is also where the loophole of the theory of intimacy and concealment lies.

Of course, the most important thing is that Dong Zhongshu's ram faction doesn't pay much attention to kissing and hiding each other.

It's just that because of Confucius, he had to fight with the Legalists.

Seeing this, a doctor from the Gu Liang faction immediately came out and replied: "Deng Zi, don't quibble, and don't defile my generation like this!" ”

He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Dr. Wang Yuan, the minister of "Guliang Chunqiu", can answer Deng Zi's question!" ”

After getting Liu Che's permission, he waved his long sleeves and said to Deng Yan: "If a son sees that his father intends to cause trouble in the world and steal the country, he can bind his father, close his house, and stop his evil deeds...... Otherwise, you can still kill your relatives in righteousness! Zhou Gong punished Cai, Confucius praised, Spring and Autumn said: The son is a thief who kills the king, and the country is a great rebellion, and he must be punished, so he said: The righteousness is also to destroy relatives! ”

Shi Fen, the patriarch of Tejin, also came out to worship and said: "Your Majesty, the ancestors of the ministers once said: The ministers hear their beloved sons, and teach them to be righteous." Ferner is evil, arrogant and lascivious, and evil himself. ”

Well, the ancestor of this Shi Fen is indeed the protagonist of the righteous annihilation of relatives in the Spring and Autumn Period......

So it's understandable that he came out to brush his face.

Deng Yan smiled and said, "The words of the public are very good!" As he spoke, he bowed to Dong Zhongshu, Shi Fen and Wang Yuan, and then, seeing the poor dagger, asked: "If you are like Zengzi, when your father steals a sheep, and the bitter lord comes to find it, why is it right for you?" Is it righteousness to kill relatives? Or is it like Confucius, who hid the crimes of his disciples and whitewashed them? ”

This is the fundamental reason why the two factions of Confucianism and Law have been going back and forth and fighting on a small direct bow case for hundreds of years - because this case has long been no longer in the details of the direct bow case, or even in the direct bow case itself.

Because this is related to Confucius, Zengzi and Zengzi's father.

Here's the thing.

About hundreds of years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius traveled around the world and came to a place called Yeyi.

The owner of Ye Yi is a scholar named Ye Gong, that is, the protagonist of the idiom Ye Gong Haolong.

This Ye Gong is naturally very rich, at least, he belongs to the kind of rich celebrities in the Spring and Autumn Period.

And Confucius's master and apprentice, when he traveled around the world and came to Yeyi, the territory of Chu, he was already so poor that he was already ding.

Before this, Confucius was even trapped between Chen Cai, and the embarrassment came, the disciples stole sheep, roasted them and gave them to Confucius, Confucius didn't ask the source, he took them and gobbled them up, and the disciples stole clothes, and Confucius also didn't ask the source, he took them and wore them.

And after arriving in Yeyi, although Confucius and his apprentices were not so embarrassed.

But it's not much better.

Therefore, one day, a sheep ran to the yard of Zengzi's father, Zeng, and naturally, this poor sheep was directly disemboweled, and sacrificed to the Five Organs Temple.

But unfortunately, Ye Gong knew about this, so he went to the door to find Confucius.

Ye Gong is a face-saving person, of course, it is not good to ask directly: You stole my sheep, give me an explanation.

So he turned around and said to Confucius, "We have a man here called Zhibow, and his father stole sheep, so he reported his father ......."

Confucius naturally knew about this through Zeng Zi (Zeng Shen), and in the same way, Confucius was also a cheeky person, who was willing to let his disciple become a thief (in that case, wouldn't he become the thief's master?). So he quibbled: "Where is it not like this, the father hides the fault for the son, and the son helps the father cover up the mistake, this is the real straightforward confession, the gentleman's trip!" ”

Anyway, that's how the story goes.

Everything was just a dispute between faces in a special form at that time.

However, hundreds of years later, this matter has become a big problem between Confucianism and law.

Even, it has become a focus battle in the century-old war of words between Confucianism and Moxi.

Mo Zhai even sarcastically said to Confucius: If the husband is hungry, he will not hesitate to live; If you win Bao, you will disguise yourself as a hypocrisy. Is it greater to be filthy and deceitful?

It means that when you are hungry and sleepy, you will not hesitate to survive in vain, and when you are full, you will use hypocrisy to whitewash yourself and dress yourself, is there anyone in this world who is more shameless than Confucianism?

By the way, Mo Zhai's attitude towards Confucius was the most disdainful among the sages of the hundred schools of thought.

When Mr. Mo Zhai was alive, he directly called Confucius 'Kong', and he disdained this, and the disciples of the Mo family naturally followed suit.

For example, Zeng Zi was called 'Zeng Thief Sheep' by the disciples of the Mo family, and Zigong and Zilu were called 'Ranial Tribute and Thief Road'......

All in all, the seventy-two sages of Confucius, in the eyes of the Mo family, there is not a good thing......

Oh, perhaps, Ranqiu, a special case......

But that's it.

When I went to the Fajia, because of Mr. Zixia, I was much more polite.

But in terms of ideology and ass, as well as pursuit, it is the opposite.

This is because Confucianism pursues different ideals.

Confucianism requires the restoration of the rule of the three generations, with the Qi Zhou government, and it is best to resurrect Jingtian, so that Confucianism believes that there will be no chaos, war, and harsh government in the world.

The people can also be at peace, and the world can be peaceful.

But the Legalists believe that this is a dream!

If the country is not strong, the army is not strong, it will be slaughtered.

In order to make the country strong and the army strong, it is necessary to make the country rich and the army strong, and in order to make the country rich and the army strong, it is necessary to centralize power, and it is necessary to use strict laws and sufficient material rewards to motivate the people, so that everyone can fight for the country and the emperor.

In such a situation, the case becomes extremely dazzling.

For legalists, how dare someone hide the crimes of criminals? It is simply intolerable and unacceptable!

Gotta it!

Because the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, the Legalists know very well that once someone can use the excuse that the father is hidden for the son and the son is hidden for the father, then, sooner or later, it will expand to the entire family, and then the clan.

In this way, the interests of the family and the clan will override the interests of the state and the king, and the dignity of the law will be lost.

Confucianism, on the other hand, believes that fathers, fathers, sons, kings, ministers, husbands and wives, are the core of everything and the unchanging truth.

If it is an ordinary petty crime, such as theft, robbery, female, or tax evasion, of course, father and son, husband and wife, and brother must protect each other.

Unless this person is mad enough to blatantly destroy the country and bring chaos to the world, he will never advocate or even oppose the members of the family to report the crimes of others.

In addition, this is also one of the foundations on which Confucian scholars stand.

Why did the landlord aristocracy in the south and the Three Rivers region support Confucianism?

Isn't it that Confucianism advocates and respects big families and big clans, and safeguards the interests of big families and big clans.

But alas......

Liu Che looked at these giants of Confucianism, these doctors, these elites, and shook his head secretly.

The Han family and the Liu family, what they hate the most are big families and big clans.

Because this will weaken the power of the state, affect the country's taxes, forced labor, and even the combat effectiveness of the army.

The reason is very simple, in addition to the land tax, the Han family's other taxes, conscription, and military service are all levied according to the household registration.

The difference between a family of five and a family of ten means that the power and financial resources of the state have been halved.

In general, large families are usually dozens or even hundreds of people gathered together.

This is equivalent to the fact that the big families and big clans are digging the foot of the country's walls to enrich themselves!

It is the son of heaven of the Liu family in the past dynasties, who hated the big family and the big clan, and tried his best to break it up.

In the political arena, he vigorously advocated the ideal social model of 'one man and five people ruling all fields'.

Specific to Liu Che, he doesn't like big families and big clans even more.

In his eyes, every big family and clan is a hidden danger and a time bomb in the future.

I can't wait to tear them all down!
