When Mencius saw Zhuang Zhou reappearing, he couldn't help laughing, as if he was very relieved, and as if he was gloating because he had a good show to watch. Because when the people around saw that Zhuang Zhou dared to stay, they all stared at him fiercely.

Zou Ji also frowned, thinking that these people didn't know what to do, so they had to leave quickly when they got down the stairs, why did they stay? It's really a toad jumping on the instep, not biting people's diaphragm.

King Qi couldn't help but whip the imported famous dog, which was to be angry.

The dog was beaten and barked, but the people around him did not dare to speak.

"King, the rabbit is ready." The ministers knew that King Qi was still sulking, and he thought that he would definitely find a chance to get angry later, since this group of guys still hadn't left, there would definitely be a chance later.

As soon as the minister's eyes rolled, he had a way.

King Qi stopped his movements and said unhappily, "Then let's start." ”

"Yes."

The dog starts chasing the rabbit and releases the rabbit, and the dog quickly chases after the rabbit.

For a while, it was really like a rabbit, the rabbit disappeared with a roar, and the dog forgot to bark and chased the rabbit wholeheartedly. One gray and one white, one before and one behind.

The rabbit walks in an arc, and when it looks like it is about to be overtaken, it decisively brakes and turns around, and the dog chassis is high and four-legged turns and falls down accidentally, but even if it falls, it will quickly get up and continue to chase.

Whether it's a rabbit or a dog, they all run wildly.

Just when everyone's attention gradually focused on the dog and the rabbit, the minister began to act.

"This guy wants to lure the dog to Zhuang Zhou." Zheng Dan said quietly to Yun Yao.

Xia Ji laughed and said, "He is smart and knows how to vent his anger to King Qi." Sure enough, there are such flattering and bullying guys in any era. "Xia Ji has always been in the circle of monarchs and ministers, and she has seen a lot of bullying guys, even her husbands. One of her husbands also deceived the king for her, and the situation at that time was that the monarch and the ministers wanted to marry her, and the minister said that Xia Ji was ominous and could not marry, and the monarch could only endure the pain, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned his head, the minister took Xia Ji to other countries to get married, and he was so angry that the monarch was angry.

"Obviously, this kind of person is a treacherous villain, but the monarch likes this kind of person, and even a monarch like Qi Huan Gong can't refuse. Until the monarch finds out that he has been deceived by the villain, it is too late to regret it. Xia Ji was surprised, but she still couldn't understand why the monarch believed the villain.

Yun Yao knew the reason, because the monarch wanted to achieve his goal, but the sage and the minister would definitely find all kinds of excuses to refuse or stop it. But the monarch always can't control himself, so finding a villain has become the best choice, and the biggest advantage of a villain is that he is shameless and bold.

Of course, the villains naturally have their own ambitions to help the monarch, and in the process of helping the monarch, they are also strengthening themselves, so when the monarch can no longer give them benefits, they will not be polite to the monarch.

"Without a villain, the monarch will have to fight against the ministers of the court by himself, and the monarch will definitely not be able to defeat him, so the villain is the monarch's ally." Yun Yao said.

"But why is the king an ally of his ministers? Monarchs and ministers are united in order to make a country strong, isn't it? Xi Shi listened and objected, she didn't understand why the villain would be an ally of the king.

"It is ideal for monarchs and ministers to be of the same mind, but most of the time monarchs and ministers are confrontational. It's as if King Qi was already going to dispose of Zhuang Zhou just now, and Zou Ji stood up against it, can this be regarded as concentric? However, this close minister is bent on venting his anger for the king, which can be described as concentric. Yun Yao said that what the monarchs and ministers of Qi State staged just now was the normalcy of the court.

What the monarch wants to do, the courtiers cannot support unconditionally, but the villain will.

Shih Tzu's eyes widened, apparently shocked by the treacherous nature of politics.

"No wonder Confucius said that etiquette is broken, and even the most basic monarchs and ministers can't do it, but they don't want to fight." Xi Shi couldn't help but sigh, of course, she still didn't understand the crux of the problem.

"The collapse of etiquette will definitely happen, because Zhou Gongdan was destined to be like this when he formulated the weekly etiquette." Yun Yao is ready to make up for Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, two political novices, although their math scores have improved by leaps and bounds in the past hundred years, they have lagged behind in liberal arts.

"Why?" Even Nanzi was surprised, because they all lived in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they all thought that Zhou Li was very remarkable, why did they say that Zhou Li was doomed to collapse when it was formulated.

"It's very simple, the Duke of Zhou stipulated the status of the princes through the Zhou rites, but it did not restrict the development of the princes. Whether it is a sacrifice or the dance of the Eight Heavens, they all represent different identities, but having these things does not guarantee that the strength of the princes will always remain the same, the princes are developing, but Zhou Tianzi has no way to profit from the princes' land to strengthen himself, and when the strength of the princes surpasses the Son of Heaven, then why do they still abide by the Zhou ceremony? "Zhou Li asked everyone to join the Zhou people's sub-feudal, but this kind of restraint was not powerful, so when the Chu State was king early, Zhou Tianzi couldn't do anything. After that, the princes became bigger and bigger, and Zhou Tianzi's eight divisions were already overwhelmed.

Although Zhou Li can let everyone live under the same set of game rules, it cannot force the strengthened princes to continue to play according to Zhou Li. Therefore, when the princes grow, they will subvert the Son of Heaven, and the doctors will subvert the princes.

Simei was thoughtful, Xi Shi thought of a point keenly, and said: "Then there needs to be a channel for the princes to transmit power to the Son of Heaven, so as to ensure that the Son of Heaven is stronger than the princes." ”

"That's right, but the princes have been deeply rooted in a land for generations, firmly grasping everything in this land, how can they be willing to send power to the outside world?" Yun Yao said.

"Change the law." Shih Tzu spat out two words.

That's right, to change the law, Yun Yao couldn't help but look at Mencius, Mencius's righteousness is that there is no ideology, but there is no means to implement it. However, Wei Ying changed the law in the Qin State to implement the county system instead of the feudal system, which had only the means of operation but no ideology.

In this era, Mencius and Wei Ying had a chance to surpass the Mohists, but unfortunately Mencius obviously did not agree with the bloody reforms, and still believed that he could gently implement benevolent government through the Fa Xian king, and elegantly make everyone accept benevolence and righteousness.

In fact, Mencius also knew the problem, he said: the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. Therefore, the people of the hill are the sons of heaven, the sons of heaven are the princes, and the princes are the doctors. The princes are in danger, and they are replaced. The sacrifice is completed, the prosperity is clean, and the ancestors are worshipped, but the drought and water overflow are changed.

That is to say, there are the people before the Son of Heaven, there are the princes before the Son of Heaven, and there are doctors with the princes, and if the world is not peaceful, the princes must be replaced. If the livestock and sacrificial vessels are qualified at the time of the sacrifice, and the time is timely, if there is still drought and flood, then it is required to change.

He also said that he wanted to change the princes, and even said that he would change the society, but would the princes just sit there and wait for you to change? If you want to become a prince, the princes will definitely resist, and they will definitely see blood.

Mencius did not want bloodshed, and hoped that by promoting benevolence and righteousness, everyone would follow the example of the ancient sages and spontaneously implement benevolent government, which would certainly not be achieved.

Legalists dare to kill people, and the limitation of Legalism is that there is no core value that is accepted by everyone in the world. Although the Qin people accepted the inflexible law, the other people of the Six Kingdoms would only feel that it was torture and that it was specially promulgated to deal with the people of the Six Kingdoms, so they wanted to resist, and the law of the Qin State was not their law.

If Qin Shi Huang shouted that everyone was equal in front of Qin Fa, then the people of the Six Kingdoms would definitely not resist, but unfortunately he didn't.
