Chapter 544: Suicide

Han Fei knew that he would not be able to change the law when he returned to China, and he would probably be able to write a book. Now he finds Yun Yao, hoping to ask some questions about how exactly he can restrain power.

"It is enough to make a law." Yun Yao's answer was exactly the same as Han Fei's original thoughts.

Xunzi believes that etiquette can cultivate a gentleman, and then a gentleman formulates etiquette and music, which can make the world peaceful. But Han Feizi is not optimistic about gentlemen, after all, there are many sages now, and there are not many gentlemen according to the teacher's method. Therefore, the law must be used, and everyone must be compulsorily bound, whether it is a gentleman or a villain, the law must be abided.

But there is also a problem, that is, the king is isolated from the law, so Han Feizi raised a question: "I originally thought that the law could be restrained, but Guan Zi said that 'all countries have laws, and there is no law that makes the law must be done', law enforcement must rely on the king, and at the same time, the king is the person who uses the law, if the king is under the law, how can the king accept the law?" If the king is above the law, how will the law restrain the king? "This is a loophole for the Legalists, and the Legalists can't solve it at all, so the Legalists are basically the king's minions. However, Han Fei still has a pursuit, thinking about whether he can solve this loophole.

Yun Yao said that this loophole is really difficult to handle, in fact, it is the same as what Mozi discussed back then, and there is no way to restrain the royal power. The result of the discussion with Mozi was to use technology to restrain the royal power and control the royal power with a sharp weapon that threatened the royal power. However, the Legalists are not Mohists, so this problem cannot be solved by relying on technology.

"You're right, you need to let the king carry out the law, and the law must be beneficial to the king. However, the law is not only beneficial to the king, but also to the nobles and doctors, after all, the designation of the law cannot be completed by the king alone, and must be helped by the nobles and doctors, so the law is the most beneficial to the king and the nobles. So have you ever thought about getting the people involved when making the law? ”

Han Fei was stunned, what kind of crazy talk is this? The people are illiterate, so how can they make laws? But on second thought, if the people could join in the process of making the law, and the king and nobles really couldn't do whatever they wanted, and even their legalists and scholars couldn't do whatever they wanted, then could the law still be established?

Just when Han Fei was helpless, Yun Yao continued: "Do you know King Zhou Li? ”

"The road is the purpose of King Zhou Li, I naturally know."

"Then do you know why King Zhou Li is so opposed to his subordinates expressing their opinions?"

"Because of King Li's patent, he tried to control the wealth of all the vassal states." Han Fei said that these histories are all basic skills.

The reason why King Zhou Li was so brutal and didn't listen to the opinions below caused the people to only dare to make eye contact on the road was actually because King Zhou Li promoted the patent, so the opposition was too loud, but he still pushed it strongly, and finally led to a riot among the people.

"What is the difference between King Li's patent and Guanzi Guanshanhai?"

Faced with Yun Yao's question, Han Fei said directly: "There is no essential difference, it's just that the pipe succeeded, and King Li failed." "Liwang's patent is actually an unsuccessful attempt by Guan Shanhai, and the end is a fiasco.

"So the same official mountains and seas, why did King Li, who is the Son of Heaven, fail, but the Minister of Qi was able to do it? Is it because the power of the prime minister is greater than that of the Son of Heaven? Yun Yao asked the key.

Han Fei was stunned, according to his understanding of authority, it is natural that the authority of the Son of Heaven is greater than that of Guanzi, so it can only be said that King Zhou Li is not Xiao, and Guan Zi is virtuous. It was okay to answer like this before, but Han Fei felt that it would be too stupid if he still answered like this now.

Thinking about it, Han Fei said: "Because of the patent of the Son of Heaven, the princes lost, so the world is against it. Guan Ziguan Shanhai is only within the Qi State, so there are few opponents. So the greater the authority, the more constraints, the smaller the authority, the fewer constraints? Therefore, if you want to restrict the king, you must add obstacles, and let the people participate in the legislation, which can hinder the king's power? It's all rhetorical questions, because although Han Fei thought about it, he couldn't immediately agree with these conclusions.

"King Li's patent, the world has lost, you have pointed out the key to the problem, the king is the enemy of the world, but the king is an indispensable representative of the noble doctor. Because under the leadership of the king, everyone can do things together, and the king plays a leading role. But once the king only cares about his own interests, he becomes the enemy of the world. ”

Han Fei thought for a moment and said to himself: "When the king is for his own benefit, he will become the enemy of everyone, and his authority will be restricted. Therefore, if we want to increase the restraint of authority, we must increase the number of people who share the king's interests, and we must increase the scope of legislation. "The more people who share the king's profits, the more the king is controlled.

As long as the Fa contains more people, the more people will share the king's benefits, and the more unhappy the king will be.

"The king is an enemy, and the king is an ally. The greater the share of the king's gains, the greater the king's authority and constraints. Han Fei suddenly figured it out: "In fact, there is no need to think about restraining the royal power, as long as the more people profit from the law, the royal power is strengthening and at the same time, it is also brewing to limit the power of the royal power." ”

suddenly enlightened, but there was a feeling of Taoist enlightenment.

Yun Yao thought to herself, that's right, that's it, in fact, it is to use civil power to restrain royal power. It's just that Yun Yao said it more mysteriously, but Han Fei still understood. The more people support the royal power, the more powerful it becomes, but at the same time, the more restrictions it is.

Han Fei thought that he would be able to return to China to write a book with peace of mind, but the new theory still needed more time to digest, and Han Fei felt that he needed to think about the education he had received in the past few days. There are too many new ideas accepted in the past few days, and even if you are as smart as Han Fei, it is a little difficult to fully digest them.

However, these ideas opened the door to a new world for him, and of course if he did carry it out, he would definitely die a miserable death, and then the king would kill him, and the noble doctors would also kill him.

In the Song Dynasty, it was still 'ruling the world with scholars, not with the people'. At that time, Song Shenzong asked if the change was beneficial to the people, why couldn't it be implemented? Wen Yanbo answered the above sentence. It shows that only the king and the noble doctors are qualified to share the profits, and the people don't think about it.

If Han Fei pushes the people to participate in the legislation, then it will not only be the royal power that will be affected, but the aristocratic doctors will be affected even more, and they will be able to kill Han Fei in minutes.

Yun Yao didn't feel guilty, because Han Fei was going to die, so let's die if he was a blockbuster.

Soon Han Fei also left Qi and returned to South Korea to write books. And Li Si, who went to the Qin State, also started his own counterattack, first of all, he recommended Chang Yu to help Lü Buwei solve the problem of the Empress Dowager Zhao. Then, through writing a book, he solved the crisis of Lü Buwei's expansion of power and avoided Lü Buwei from being suspected of rebellion.

It's just that although Li Si helped Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei also saw that Li Si was ambitious, so he didn't reuse Li Si, but assigned Li Si to the Praetorian Guard and asked him to go to the palace gate. However, Li Si is really powerful, through the relationship between the Janissaries and fellow villagers, he actually stood directly at the door of the main hall, and had the opportunity to contact the young Yingzheng.

Han Fei didn't have such good luck, although the book was written, anyone who read it regarded it as a joke. Han Fei had no choice but to delete the part of civil rights, which made people give a thumbs up. Sure enough, half a step ahead is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman.

Now all the people who read and write are princes and nobles, how can they see civil rights, they feel disgusting at a glance. And the people don't know how to read, even if they want to support it, they can't support it, and now it's this environment, and the propaganda of civil rights is not as good as the Mohist organs.
