Yang Yuan knew very well why Xun Shen was touched.

Because of Kokumo-sama.

The keynote of Legalism is "human nature is inherently evil."

It is precisely because human nature is inherently evil that it is necessary to restrain the people with severe punishments to prevent them from indulging their sinful nature and committing adultery.

Every law of the Zhao Kingdom is extremely cold, and the core is "restraint" and "punishment".

No one really cares about how the people are doing, and every lawmaker and enforcer thinks about how to keep the people from breaking the law, how to make the country more stable, and how to make the people work harder and fight more bravely.

Knife and saw inside, external armor.

This is the current situation of Akigu.

No one felt anything was wrong.

The country is indeed strong! The days of the people are also the crown of the seven kingdoms! Foreign wars have been won repeatedly, and they are about to dominate the world.

Isn't that bad?

Even if Yang Yuan came from a humble background and knew the hardships of the people better than ordinary ministers, it was just the capital he used to ascend to the throne, and he never really thought about these people for a moment.

Kuniwu-sama is different.

From last night to tonight, Kokusha was in front of the king, explaining to them his vision for the future and why he wanted to change the relevant laws.

It wasn't until all the ideas were broken and kneaded apart that there was nothing they couldn't understand, and they suddenly realized that the night had passed.

Xun Shen sighed with emotion: "Lord Guowu's idea is so perfect, it must not be an overnight achievement. ”

Yang Yuan was silent for a moment, but still nodded: "It is worthy of admiration." ”

Men who are flattering, they have seen too much.

Take Yang Yuan's mother Zhang Yuan as an example.

Ten years ago, Zhang Yuan was afraid that she would be sincerely afraid when she saw Chen, because at that time, she was just the mother of a small official, but Chen was a noble daughter of a family.

But now, Zhang Yuan opened her mouth to let Yang Yuan kill Chen and Zhou An's mother and son, just because her son is a court lieutenant and has great power, so why kill someone?

Attentive to the superior, that's nothing. People are pinching your future and even your life, and you can't please it too much.

Being able to look down is true kindness.

In the house of benevolence, Xun and Yang have seen a lot, and there are not a few families who give porridge and medicine during the New Year's holidays.

But these people look down on the poor in their hearts, and they do these things either to gain fame or fame, or just to accumulate some good deeds.

That's right, you did a good job of feeding this meal, which no one can blame, and it should be praised.

But the people didn't eat the last meal, and the symptoms were not cured!

However, the Lord of the Kingdom has carefully observed and thought about the plight faced by the people, and has come up with effective solutions, which is the most rare place.

Xun Shen and Yang Yuan could see that Yin Cheng did not exclude anyone from a humble background, even if it was a person who served people in Israel, or a servant who had been punished.

She may not approve of what they are doing, but she has a certain sympathy for them, believing that if they had another way out, they might not have chosen this way.

So, she wants to help these women broaden their pathways so that they can have more choices.

is not like other women with noble backgrounds, who blindly feel that the fox is from a humble background, and will only seduce men, and kill concubines and slaves at every turn.

"The Great King understood this earlier than we did, so the Great King will protect the Witch." Xun Shen said calmly, "Lord Guowu obviously has good intentions towards our Legalist family, and greatly respects the majesty of the law. When the world is unified, the first one to jump out and snatch the right to speak must be Confucianism. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled faintly: "Do you remember the origin of 'pulling sunflowers to weave'?" ”

This is a very famous and highly respected allusion to Confucianism.

The birthplace of Confucianism, the country of Lu (extinct), had a prime minister named Gongyi Xiu.

One day, when he came back from the court, he saw that the winter sunflower (the most commonly eaten vegetable in the country of Lu) in the family's vegetable garden was about to be harvested, and his wife was working hard to weave cloth.

The man suddenly became nervous, and ordered his servants to pull out the hollyhock from the garden, destroy the loom, and divorce his wife.

When others asked why, he said righteously, I am already the prime minister of the Lu country, and I have everything in taxes and taxes, so how can my wife grow vegetables and weave cloth and compete with the people for profit?

When the Confucian scholars heard this, they applauded, and the story was passed down as a beautiful story.

But when people with brains think about it, they will feel that it is wrong!

How much can your wife grow vegetables, how many horses can she weave cloth, and it is not enough for her own use, and it is impossible to sell it in the market, so how can you talk about competing with the people for profit?

After Yang and Xun learned this allusion, they were puzzled until their teacher Jizi told them that during Gongyixiu's tenure, King Lu invited the Mojia sages to enter the Lu country, and the other party brought the most advanced farming and weaving technology, which was popular in China.

For a time, the dominance of Confucianism in the Lu State was shaken by the Mohists.

Gongyi Hugh pulls out sunflowers to weave, divorces his wife for this, and there are so many Confucian people holding stinky feet, it is not difficult to understand, right?

It's just that he didn't dare to directly target the great sage of the Mo family, who was trusted by King Lu, so he just threw his anger on the poor woman.

This is actually a "beautiful talk".

Xun Shen and Yang Yuan were extremely disdainful of this.

Think about the tone of Confucianism, what human nature is inherently good, what relatives hide each other, what etiquette and music articles, and what divide the kingdoms...... None of these are acceptable to the king.

If Confucianism wants to come out, they must not directly follow Yin Changying's meaning, otherwise they will never be able to trample the Legalist under their feet in Zhaoguo, the home of the Legalist.

“…… They will look for one thing, or one person, and use public opinion to attack desperately, trying to use this way to force the king to compromise. And the national witch is the best target. ”

Although Yang Yuan knew that Confucianism was good at finding soft persimmons to bully, he was still skeptical of Xun Shen's views.

Looking for the Witch of the Kingdom to be the target of attack? Don't die fast enough?

Xun Shen said lightly: "The marriage law stipulates that a woman in Zhaoguo must marry before she is eighteen years old. ”

Will Kuniwu-sama get married?

I want to know that it is impossible.

"The national witch is a 'witch', and he has long been out of the world, and there is no way to talk about marriage." As soon as Yang Yuan finished speaking, he shook his head and laughed at himself for being too naïve, "As long as Confucianism grasps one point, Lord Guowu is the sister of the king, and he should set an example for the world, and this is enough." ”

Xun Shen said unhurriedly: "If Confucianism does this, it will definitely be able to get the secret support of many ministers. ”

Of course, the ministers didn't mind Confucianism jumping to the forefront and launching an attack on the Imperial Witch.

If things don't work out, it's unlucky to be Confucian; Once the matter is done, no matter which family the Kokubu marries into, it will bring great benefits to that family.

"Promoting women to establish a household is also good for the Kokubu himself." Xun Shen said meaningfully, "Lord Guowu didn't expect this at all, and the king may not have thought of it, but if we modify the "Marriage Law" and "Household Law" to be beautiful enough......"

Yang Yuan's eyes flashed: "Once Confucianism jumps out, the king and the national witch will remember it, and we will wait for it." ”
