Chapter 110: Monarchy is not granted by heaven

Ouyang Shuo's ambition is not small, but it is also difficult to implement.

Since ancient times, the collision of ideas and theories has been the most treacherous and unpredictable, and its danger and cruelty are no less than that of a super-large-scale war.

This is a war without gunpowder, a battle without a sword but with blood at any time. It is even said that some wars are a continuation of the struggle in the ideological field.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and no one could convince anyone, one of the reasons was that the hundred schools of thought were too different, and even opposed to each other, and could not coexist.

How to choose is really a big problem.

Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo had no shortage of supporters, in addition to Confucius's statement, Mozi, Han Feizi, Sun Wu and Xu Xing and other heavyweight school leaders who were prominent in Daxia expressed their support one by one.

The four schools of Confucianism, Mo, Law, and Soldier are the core of the hundred schools of thought.

With the support of these four schools, Ouyang Shuo's idea can be implemented. Seeing this, the schools of Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Zongheng School, and Miscellaneous School can only agree.

"If you don't agree, you can't do it!"

Once the four Confucianism and Grammar Soldiers are allowed to dominate the construction of the ideological system of Great Xia, the rest of the factions will only be "in the opposition" in the future, and there will be no practical place, which can be described as sad.

At this time, even Lao Tzu, who emphasizes "rule by doing nothing", cannot be indifferent.

The current wilderness is no longer the wilderness of Gaia's first year, and the overall situation has become more and more stable, and the territories have begun to shift their focus to internal affairs. In this kind of environment, Taoism's "rule by doing nothing" is promising.

Of course, there are also diehards who are reluctant to get involved.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo did not insist on it, if they didn't even have this bit of knowledge, they would rather guard their own stall and rest on their laurels, even if they participated, it would do more harm than good.

The big event has been decided, and Ouyang Shuo announced the adjournment of the meeting.

…………

After everyone dispersed, Ouyang Shuo specially invited Confucius, Mozi, Laozi, Han Feizi, Sun Wu and other giants to lead them to a quiet room in Zhengming Building alone to start the second round of detailed discussions.

Jiang Shang accompanied the whole process.

After settling down, a maid brought fragrant tea and pastries.

Because it was a small-scale discussion, the atmosphere was naturally relaxed, Ouyang Shuo sat cross-legged and said straight to the point: "This king said that in terms of learning, you are all my teachers. In the formulation of the ideological system, this king will not intervene too much, and only Jiang Ge will preside over it. ”

Jiang Shang then got up and saluted, which was regarded as taking over the task.

When Lao Tzu and the others saw it, they became more and more sure in their hearts, and the doubts in their hearts gradually disappeared.

Not participating in it does not mean that Ouyang Shuo has no ideas. On the contrary, Great Xia's ideological system must be centered on Ouyang Shuo's will and reflect his wisdom.

Taking a sip of fragrant tea, Ouyang Shuo continued: "For how to construct this ideological system, this king has three requirements, please keep in mind. ”

"But please let the king make it clear!" Confucius and others are all people of great wisdom, how can they not understand.

"One of them."

Ouyang Shuo stretched out a finger, "The monarch's power is not granted by God, but by all the people, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat." This is the highest essence of Daxia thought, and I hope you will understand it carefully. ”

In the game world, the background of Huaxia District is the feudal monarchy, but Ouyang Shuo has no intention of really being a lifelong feudal emperor, and he is still looking forward to one day "retiring" with peace of mind and starting the second half of his life.

Today, Ouyang Shuo's cultivation of the "Huang Ting Inner Jing Sutra - Qi Cultivation Chapter" has been cultivated to the fourth layer, and it is now about to break through to the fifth layer, and the true yuan is extremely powerful, and the body is reborn again.

Ouyang Shuo is very much looking forward to what kind of new world it will be after successfully cultivating the "Huang Ting's Inner Jing Sutra - Qi Cultivation Chapter", and successfully opening up the Purple Mansion.

"Imperial power, I do what I want; The avenue is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who give up imperial power and take the avenue are also. This is Ouyang Shuo's insistence.

Pursuing the avenue and jumping to the level of life is Ouyang Shuo's ultimate pursuit.

The road to hegemony is only a node in his life journey, but it is not the end. His end point is the unknowable, yet full of temptation.

But hegemony is an indispensable premise.

Without hegemony, there is no way to pursue the avenue, which is a prerequisite.

Just imagine, if Ouyang Shuo was not a prince, but just an adventurer in his previous life, how could he get top-level cultivation methods such as the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Scripture" and "The Yellow Court's Inner Scene Classic".

How could there be abundant cultivation resources?

And the third part of the combined exercises has no clues so far, how can it be separated from the power of the dynasty.

Taking a step back, Ouyang Shuo's road to hegemony is also a kind of red dust experience, and it is also tempering the Dao heart, making his mind more and more firm, and not being confused by external objects, which is essential for the pursuit of the Great Dao.

Therefore, "every stage has its own pursuit." ”

Hegemony is also a kind of Tao.

It was precisely in this way that Ouyang Shuo took the initiative to put forward the view that "the monarch's power is not granted by heaven", and he did not bother to use the ethereal way of heaven to demonstrate the legitimacy of Great Xia's rule.

"I am the sky!"

Confucius and others were quite moved and looked very surprised.

Ouyang Shuo didn't explain too much, and then put forward the second request, "The general outline of the governance of Great Xia should rule the country by law, teach the people with benevolence, and govern the world with filial piety." ”

Obviously, Ouyang Shuo puts the law in the first place and is the general hub.

When Han Feizi heard this, his eyes burst into bright light, and he seemed to see the prosperity of the Legalists. Confucius was a little disappointed, obviously, the Confucian system can only be used to teach the people, not to govern the country.

As for Mozi and Lao Tzu and others, they are even more disappointed.

Ouyang Shuo's intention is also very simple, to govern the territory of Nuoda, there must be a ruler, a universal code of conduct.

This criterion is the law.

Ouyang Shuo has planned to continue to improve and expand the system of the Great Xia Code on the basis of the existing "Great Xia Code", so that it can penetrate into all aspects of the people's lives.

Only by implementing the law and pursuing the law can the dynasty survive forever.

Of course, in addition to legal principles, Ouyang Shuo has not forgotten the essence of Chinese civilization, that is, "benevolence", "filial piety", and the traditional virtues of Chinese civilization.

If it is said that it is the last firewall of governing the country, then virtue is the silent influence and education of moisturizing things. Only by clarifying the relationship between the two can we open a new era of Great Xia.

Then, Ouyang Shuo said the third requirement, "Combining the ideas of a hundred schools, we should pay attention to universality, promote universal values, make them easy to disseminate, and apply everywhere." ”

Ouyang Shuo's ambitions were not limited to Great Xia.

Chinese ideas must be easily disseminated in order to take root and thrive overseas. Not to mention, Great Xia now has many overseas territories, and it is in urgent need of a set of ideological weapons to arm the local people.

In this way, it is also beneficial and harmless to the rule of Great Xia.

The three-point requirements put forward by Ouyang Shuo today are the famous "Three Principles of Great Xia Governance" in the future.
