This man is so bold that he dares to talk about hundreds of schools!

Ji Di somewhat understood why Liu De couldn't help but change his expression as soon as he saw this question, it was really too big for a hundred schools of thought that no one dared to say it easily. Nowadays, the largest Huang Lao Taoist in the political arena of the Han Dynasty, the Legalist who returned to the political arena after playing a Confucian law bone by mistake, the famous family and peasant family who merged into the Legalist family, the Mo family that was suppressed by the Han regime, the Confucianism that has never been accepted by the Han family, the military family that has been inherited since Sun Wu Wu, and even the Zongheng family and the Yin-Yang family that have been lonely, which of the hundred schools of thought will admit that the doctrine of its own school is inferior to other schools?

Just throwing out this topic is enough to make the inheritors of the hundreds of schools of thought break their heads with each other. And the person who threw out this topic is afraid that if he is not careful, it will be the result of being torn apart by hundreds of schools.

More importantly, if you want to discuss the hundred schools of thought, first of all, you must understand the hundred schools, and even the degree of understanding is not enough at all, you must achieve certain achievements in the hundred schools of thought, and even the highest level of achievements, before you are qualified to discuss the hundred schools of thought.

Otherwise, why do you have to discuss a hundred schools, and who gave you the qualifications to discuss a hundred schools?

"Big is big, it's too grand." Ji Di is a Taoist lineage that adheres to the Taoist idea of quiet and inaction, and can be called a gentleman from a moral point of view. A gentleman who adheres to the code of quiet and inaction is naturally disgusted by Liu Jian's 'big words' on the hundred schools of thought.

Let's look at Liu Jian's first sentence: "Yu has written 200,000 words since he was a child, and since the three emperors of ancient times, he has never heard of an immutable law!" ”

"Another Legalist!" There was no expression on his face, but Ji Di couldn't help but curse in his heart.

What does it mean that there is no eternal law?

It means that the law needs to be changed.

And which one in the world likes to toss and change the law the most, there is no doubt that it is a legalist. Which one hates changing the law the most in the world, it is naturally a Taoist who advocates quiet and inaction.

With this impression, Ji Di looked at it again, and only felt that this volume was full of Legalist thoughts and ideas.

When he saw Liu Jianzong discussing the role of the hundred schools of thought, Ji Di couldn't help but nod his head, feeling that what Liu Jian's article said was quite reasonable.

Taoism: The foundation of the country is to keep the foundation quiet.

Legalist, ** remove the old and innovate.

The soldiers, the minions of the country, the saints hold it, protect the people and drink the four yi, and use the soldiers of the Han family to hold the blade of the Han family for the people of the Han family to plow the land of the Han family!

Ji Di is not a Taoist extremist, and in fact there are no extremists in Taoism. It is naturally impossible for him to admit that the hundred schools of thought are above Taoism, but it is not so difficult to accept that Ji Huang admits that all the sons and hundreds of schools have their own uses. What's more, Taoism is listed as the foundation of the country, which obviously puts Taoism in the first important position, Ji Di is naturally happy to see it, and it is much more pleasing to the eye when he looks at Liu Jian's article below.

However, Ji Di keenly noticed that Taoism ranked first among the hundred schools of thought of Liu Jian's sons, followed by Legalism, Bingjia, Mojia, Farmer, Zonghengjia, Famous Family, and Yin and Yang Family. Even novelists who are not in the mainstream have mentioned it, and they also say that novelists can make the people have fun in their leisure and not be boring, but in Confucianism, which is the most powerful among the people, there is not even a word.

"When it comes to the hundred schools of thought, but regardless of Confucianism, I don't know if this person thinks Confucianism is not good to talk about or ...... Think Confucianism is not in the stream at all? Ji Di thought about it, but finally did not get a positive answer from Liu Jian's words.

As for Liu Jian's final discussion of the separation of powers, Ji Di just hurriedly swept it. In Kie's view, this is just a minutiae, and some ideas about governance are not very important. Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Jian's article is really too long, and I am afraid that it will not be less than 5,000 words. Ji Di has been watching for a long time,

After reading it, Ji Di passed this article to Zhang Tang not so much as an exam paper.

Maybe it's because of the difference in what you've learned, or maybe it's because of the difference in origin. Zhang Tang's focus is completely different from Ji Di, Zhang Tang only paid some attention to Liu Jian's unheard of unchanging law at the beginning, but he swept away the content of Liu Jian's discussion of the hundred schools of thought. Because of his thoughts and nature, Zhang Tang instinctively didn't feel interested in these mouth cannon theories, and when he saw the separation of powers written by Liu Jian, he couldn't help but clap his thighs excitedly.

Of course, Liu Jian could not copy Montesquieu's idea of separation of powers, and after referring to the political system of the Western Han Dynasty described in this book, he spent a lot of effort to come up with a set of Western Han version of the separation of powers.

At the local level, the separation of judicial, executive, and military powers has limited the situation in which local county guards have a monopoly in the past. In the central part of Chang'an, the administrative power and judicial power were separated, allowing the court to become independent from the Jiuqing, and strengthening the independence of the law, so as to avoid the interference of the prime minister and the three princes on judicial independence. As for the military power and legislative power, of course, everything is supreme and belongs to the Son of Heaven.

In the Western Han Dynasty, this was political correctness.

If Liu De didn't want to be cut off by Emperor Ming Jun and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty for some inexplicable reason, he would have to write like this.

Therefore, Liu Jian's separation of powers actually divides the rights of the county guard at the local level, so that the county guard cannot dominate the local family. At the same time, the power of the prime minister was divided in the central government, so that the prime minister's hand could no longer easily reach into the judicial system, and only the administrative power was retained, which greatly strengthened the authority of the emperor.

Therefore, Liu Jian's separation of powers is essentially the Western Han Dynasty version of the emperor's only separation of powers, which was set up to strengthen the centralization of power for the feudal imperial system.

As for really writing according to Montesquieu's democratic separation of powers...... Liu Jian felt that his head must not be saved. If you don't know it, you may be torn apart and beheaded on the charge of bewitching the public, and then you will die too miserably.

And this completely appealed to the appetite of Zhang Tang, a legalist bureaucrat.

"Wonderful~~~~Wonderful~~~~~It's wonderful!" Zhang Tang patted his thighs and said with his eyebrows fluttering.

"I want to divide the 100 scholars who have passed this round of examinations into two lists...... "Liu De said straight to the point at the beginning: "Eighty-seven people who answered four questions correctly will be listed as the first list, and the rest will be included in the second list......"

Liu De glanced around at the three of them and asked: "Among the hundred people, only Liu Jian is the only one who answers the fifth question correctly. ”

"The minister obeys." Zhang Tang and Ji Di replied at the same time.

There is nothing to say about this, only one person in a hundred people answered the fifth question correctly, and it is impossible not to list Liu Jian as the first.

"Who do you think can be the second or third?" Liu De asked again.

Zhang Tang and Ji Di glanced at each other.

This is a bit more difficult to answer.

Unlike Liu Jian, who answered the fifth question correctly, it is almost indisputable to be in first place. Among the eighty-seven scholars, there are nobles and poor families, and because the results are almost the same, there is no accurate evaluation standard, so you say that Zhang San is the first, he thinks that Li San is the first, and it is really difficult to define it clearly!

Besides, who doesn't know what kind of temper the literati are?

On weekdays, you can play a dog's brain for a little fame, not to mention that this symbolizes the first honor in the first examination?

Don't even think about it, no matter who you choose, the other eighty-six people are unlikely to be convinced!

(Jinan Yan Yi is the second, Zheng Zhuang is the third, Ning Cheng is the fourth, I won't write about these, and if I write it down, it will not be a crossing but a plagiarism.) Here again, I solemnly recommend "I want to be the emperor" that wants to leave Jing Ke, if you are a lover of historical novels, it would be a pity not to read this book. ）

After deciding on the ranking, the main work of this examination was decided, and after picking up Liu Jian's paper, Liu De looked at it again. Liu De has already decided to add Liu Jian to his list of twelve. When he opened the examination, he thought about whether this examination could dig out the big fish that had never been famous in history, but one familiar name after another appeared in front of him, which made him feel that the possibility of this situation was too small.

I didn't expect it to appear in the end.

Different from Ji Di and Zhang Tang, what Liu De values in this article is not Liu Jian's exposition of the hundred schools of thought nor the design of the separation of powers, but the strong tendency to expand and the idea of the unification of the hundred schools of thought revealed in this article, using the sword of the Han family to plow the fields and take soil for the people of the Han family, and reconcile yin and yang and the left and right.

These ideas made Liu Jian can't help but have a feeling of approval, especially the style of writing, every time he lists a topic, he gives examples of one, two, three to confirm, which simply makes Liu Jian feel like arguing with the reason at the forum of later generations.

In fact, Liu Jian also wrote this article very carefully, and he scratched a lot of hair in order to make this article good before the exam began. Therefore, not only is the content full of dry goods, but the writing habits are also very suitable for the writing of the Western Han Dynasty, and even Liu Jian sometimes can't help but think that if he could have worked so hard when he was admitted to university, Tsinghua University and Peking University would not dare to think about it, but they would not have been reduced to two books.

With such intentions and the insight of later generations, as well as the original work as a reference, Liu Jian's article naturally made Liu De very comfortable to read.

Wait a minute...... Wrong!

Liu Jian rubbed his eyes and looked again, he wondered if he was wrong.

On the second blank paper, start with the second column, the first word of the second column and the second word of the third column, the third word of the fourth column, the fourth word of the fifth column, and even the seventh column of the sixth column...... This oblique line of words converged into a sentence that made Liu De's heart skip a beat...... 'I am also a traverser'

"Is it a coincidence? No, it can't be a coincidence! Liu De took a closer look and found that these words were actually written in simplified Chinese. In terms of glyphs, there are actually a lot of similarities between simplified Chinese characters and small seals, and it is easy to ignore the past if you don't pay attention to it carefully.

"Are there any other traversers?" Liu De's face changed suddenly.
