Ji Yanran smiled mischievously and said: "Two days ago, I heard my father-in-law talk about this new saint, and Yanran wanted to meet this person, so she invited famous people who have come to Daliang these days, among which there are a few people with some ability, such as Han Feigongzi of South Korea, Xiang Shaolong, the swordsman of Zhao State, and Wei Mou, who looks like a beast.

Su Ying's eyes rolled: "Han Fei is a talent, I know that he is a student of Xunzi, he takes the path of Legalism, he has a lot of ideas, and his articles are also very good, my grandson has praised him many times in front of us, saying that Han Feizi he wrote is a collection of Legalist thoughts, but it is a pity that he is Korean, and he is not good at socializing, I am afraid that it will be difficult to show his ambitions in this life, if this person can help, he can help." ”

She suddenly smiled: "I was almost deceived by you, tell me, what kind of hero that Shaolong is, he can make Yanran worry about you." ”

Ji Yanran burst out with a silver bell-like laugh and said, "Sister Ying, how do you know that I am not talking about Wei Mou." ”

"Arrogant Wei Mu?" Su Ying sneered: "I know this person, he should advocate taking nature as a teacher, observing the life of birds, and coming to the inference that only by following nature can we not betray the heavens, and can enjoy the gift of life under the greater laws of nature: if we suppress ourselves, it will only be useless and harmful, and it will only make people become hypocrites who are inconsistent with the inside and outside." ”

Ji Yanran nodded and said, "That's right, Sister Ying, what do you think?" ”

Su Ying said: "What he said is not completely unreasonable, but the direction is wrong, people are indeed born from beasts, but they are different from beasts, and this is how civilization has been." The difference lies in the different needs. The needs of animals stay in the basic, primitive survival and racial reproduction, such as eating, drinking, breathing, sleeping, mating, etc., while humans have the need to live in peace, buy and sell, have the need to have wealth, the need to pursue friendship and love, the need to take care of each other, the need to belong and be respected, the need to learn, think, and show their talents. These things are not possessed by most beasts, and they are places where man is higher than beasts, and if they are reversed, they give up these things, and instead blindly accommodate and pursue those basic and primitive things, it is a degenerate and degraded behavior. ”

Ji Yanran's eyes lit up, compared to the argument she heard from Xiang Shaolong and Wei Mu, Su Ying's statement was obviously much clearer, you must know that Xiang Shaolong is not a theorist, but Meng Yuan is an out-and-out scholar. The mastery of these things is much higher than that of Xiang Shaolong.

Zou Yan praised repeatedly: "Ying'er is right, it is this truth, hehe, it is naturally a good thing to learn the Fa, but if you don't learn to learn animals like people, then it is no different from animals." ”

What he studied was the biochemistry of luck between heaven and earth, and it was naturally related to the teacher's method, so Wei Mou's statement was an insult and offense to him, and after hearing Su Ying's words, he couldn't help but belittle Wei Mou.

Su Ying felt a little funny, since ancient times, literati have been light, even Zou Yan can't get rid of this clichΓ©, he is a lot older, when it comes to learning, he can still compete with others at every turn.

Ji Yanran applauded and smiled: "That Shaolong said that the way of life of humans and beasts is different, but I haven't figured out what the reason is, and after listening to Sister Ying's explanation, I understand." But on the day you came back, Sister Ying, we were discussing another topic, and that Shaolong's answer was quite exciting. ”

Su Ying looked at Ji Yanran, who was showing a little childish posture, with interest, and motioned for her to continue.

"Well, we were talking about the rule of virtue and the rule of law that day. Dr. Xu accused Han Feigongzi, saying that he had made the same mistake as Mr. Xun Kuang, believed that human nature was evil, did not understand the way to influence the people with virtue and politics, and ruled the country with criminal law, and practiced the government of bullying and fooling the people. It is also said that governing the country is like building a building, and the foundation must be consolidated first, and without a foundation, the building will not be able to withstand the wind and rain, and this foundation is the model set by the sages and sages. ”

Su Ying nodded lightly, in the Mengyuan foursome, her mind is the most delicate, the best eloquence, and she also likes to ponder some theories, whenever there is something incomprehensible, she goes to Mengyuan to discuss, and Mengyuan likes to ponder people's hearts, the needs that Su Ying said earlier are the driving force of human exhibition, which is Mengyuan's opinion.

The doctor Xu that Ji Yanran said was Xu Jie, the doctor of the Wei State, who was a conservative believer in Confucianism, and almost blindly followed the way of Mencius. His statement is attacking Han Fei's theory that "if the world is different, things are different, and things must be changed".

"Oh, what did Han Fei Gongzi say?" He Yunmeng on the side listened to it interestingly, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Well, Han Feigongzi was a little excited at the time, and his eloquence was not good......" Ji Yanran frowned and said helplessly.

"So that Shaolong is uneven?" Su Ying smiled a little teasingly.

"Exactly" Ji Yanran recalled the situation at that time, and said quite excitedly:

Xiang Shaolong said that the rule of virtue and the rule of law are not a question of which is better or worse; It's a question of what works or doesn't. Virtue and politics are pure ideals, assuming that there are only saints and no treacherous people in the world, then everyone can obey the law without any means. But this is obviously not the case, and it will never be true, so we need a kind of law and standard that everyone knows and understands, and regulates everyone and makes them obey it, and only after this has been done can we talk about benevolence, righteousness, morality, etiquette, and education. ”

Su Ying listened, smiled faintly, noncommittal, but there was a sneer on the corner of He Yunmeng's mouth, which seemed to be a little disdainful.

Ji Yanran didn't notice the expressions of the two, and continued: "At that time, Dr. Xu and General Bai asked, if a country is only maintained by criminal punishment, then isn't it possible that those in power can arbitrarily use criminal law to oppress the weak, and it will be effective from top to bottom, if it is punished well, what about the people?" Xiang Shaolong replied, does that mean that it is just that the rule of law is not thorough enough, and all the governing power is in the hands of the king, if everyone is equal before the law, the king violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and anyone who kills people for no reason will be punished, then who dares to kill people casually? ”

"He's dreaming." He Yunmeng suddenly burst out with a sentence, interrupting Ji Yanran's narration.

"Oh, do you have a different opinion?" Zou Yan said with some curiosity.

"Listen to Yanran?" Su Ying did not express her position, but motioned for Ji Yanran to continue.

"Well, Xiang Shaolong said that he didn't say that there should be no benevolence, righteousness and morality, that is the basic spirit behind any law, and the combination of rule of law and rule of virtue is the real way to govern the country. Absolute power will only corrupt people absolutely. After Ji Yanran finished speaking, she looked at Su Ying and He Yunmeng with some stammer, wanting to hear her explanation.

"Have you ever asked him when his idea will come to fruition?" Su Ying asked without answering.

Yes, he said that the rule of law, which encompasses even the monarch, is not feasible at present, but it is moving in this direction, and one day there will be a separation of powers between the legislative, the executive, and the executive. Monarchs are elected by the people, and only then will there be true fraternity, equality and freedom. When he said this, his expression was so convinced, as if one day, this way of governing the country would be realized. Ji Yanran replied.

"Sister Sakura, you say, will there be such a day?"

Su Ying was silent for a long time and said: "I also asked my grandson this question, and he was silent for a long time before he said a word." ”

"What did he say?"

"This will never happen unless people cease to be people."

"Why?" Ji Yanran couldn't help but ask.

"In Xiang Shaolong's words, this is not to say that this way of governing the country is bad, but a question of whether it will work, and the combination of rule by virtue and the rule of law that he said is not wrong, but it is fundamentally contradictory to what he mentioned, fraternity, equality, and freedom."

Su Ying sighed and said: "The different groups in a country, such as peasants, merchants, armies, officials, and kings, are all types of these groups, but all these groups, no matter how they are divided, can be simply divided into two categories, the ruler and the ruled, and he calls these two categories two classes. ”

When she saw that Zou Yan and Ji Yanran's attention began to focus, she said: "Although the ruler and the ruled are two different classes, they belong to the same whole, and this whole is the country. ”

She spoke slowly, but every sentence was very clear and unambiguous.

"In any country, the ruled are the basis of the whole, and the ruler is the group that determines the direction of the country. If the ruler is wise, the country will gradually become stronger, and if the ruler is mediocre, the country will weaken or even perish. ”

Seeing that the two nodded and understood this statement, Su Ying continued:

"The class relationship between the ruler and the ruled is relatively fixed, but not absolute, and there is the Tao in it, and this Tao is the root of the Master's five virtues."

Zou Yan nodded again and again, the Five Virtues Doctrine he studied was actually a doctrine that combined the general trend of the world with the law of things and the Five Elements Theory.

"In this whole of the country, the ruling class and the ruled class have different statuses, and their needs are also different: the peasants pursue a good harvest and low servitude, the taxes are collected, the soldiers are in pursuit of victory and glory, the merchants are in pursuit of profit, the scholars are in pursuit of learning and power, and the kings are in pursuit of beauty...... These different needs, which bind the two classes together, form a relatively stable state relationship, and this demand, some of which is conducive to this relationship, some of which is detrimental to this relationship, and which can even undermine it. ”

"So that's why the king, oh no, is it the ruler who needs to govern the country?" Ji Yanran asked.
