Chapter 32: Hundred schools of thought are restless

Liu Dan killed a lot of people this time, especially many high-ranking scholars, and even doctors in Taixue, although these people do not participate in politics, they often discuss politics, and their mouths are very poisonous.

Liu Heng and Liu Che both acquiesced in this behavior, but Liu Dan was not used to them, and was directly killed by him on the charge of ridicule, and Chang'an City quieted down all of a sudden.

The most important thing is that Liu Dan's careless attitude shocked many people, but Liu Dan didn't care, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the power in his hands is second only to Liu Che, and the military power is in hand, and he is not afraid of those who read.

Luo Wujian heard the clansmen's report on this matter in Zhaocheng, his eyes froze, and he muttered for a long time before saying: "There are too many victories of the Great Han, which makes the emperor rise up arrogant and complacent. ”

He also reported: "The head of the family, many of the people in the hundred families have left Chang'an, this time the Son of Heaven slaughtered the hundred masters, which had a great impact on the hundred families, and some schools had few disciples, and the masters were swept away, leaving only two or three big cats and kittens, if they were hit again, they would be on the verge of extinction." ”

"Just wait and see what happens, and wait until things get to the point of stalemate, and then the family will intervene according to the situation."

Luo Wujian gave the final order.

……

"Teacher!"

Seven or eight scholars knelt on the ground, the crown on their heads crooked, the robes they wore were disheveled, and in front of everyone was the coffin of the teacher.

A gentleman with a handsome face, his face full of messy tears, mourned: "How unjust the teacher's death is.

It's just that he opposed the construction of the palace and was directly killed, did the emperor want to follow Qin Shi Huang? ”

The people who traveled with him were shocked when they heard the words and said: "Zizheng, be cautious!" How can a courtier speak out about the fault of the monarch? ”

"The Monarch's Eyes on the ......"

As soon as he said a few words, the others were shocked and inexplicable, and when they said these words from the mouth of the Legalist disciple, who could not be shocked, and said sharply: "Zizheng, those sour words, and such ungentlemanly words, how can you ......?"

Liu Xiang didn't speak, he kowtowed heavily, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and everyone looked up and saw that it was a group of Confucian students.

"Why are you here?"

The Confucian scholar who was the leader said: "Meng Ru Jia Cong and all the brothers are polite, Jiegong died for the world, I came to worship, although you and I have different ideas, but this time the teacher died together, it can be called the same way." ”

Saying that, the Confucian scholars also secretly wept in their eyes, and it was not just one person who died this time.

The Legalist disciple at the head said: "Brother Tai is polite, Meng Ru Jia? ”

He muttered two sentences, then opened his eyes wide and asked, "But Wuwei Jia?" ”

Wuwei County Gu Zang Hou.

At present, the most noble family of the Jia family in the world, after Jia Yi was crowned marquis in the past, the Hou State was sealed to Rongling County, Changsha State, and later Changsha State was changed to a county, Emperor Xiaowu opened up Hexi, and the Jia family was moved to Wuwei County and renamed Guzang Marquis.

However, the Jia family is not a general, so it is not for guarding, but for education.

The Jia family is one of the inheritance families of Meng Ru, one of the most successful liehou families in the development of classics, and is quite famous in the world.

These Confucian scholars went to worship Jiegong, and after worshipping, they said to Liu Xiang, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Zizheng, the door of Meng Ru will always be open for you, people like you should be born to be a scholar of Meng Ru, and the Legalist family is not suitable for you." ”

After speaking, he left here directly without waiting for the reaction of the Legalists, and the Legalists looked at Liu Xiang, their eyes were full of doubts, Liu Xiang said expressionlessly: "Last year, in Taixue, I used the loopholes in Mengru's knowledge to refute the three heroes of Mengru, including Meng Fan, the most descendant of Mengru, and since then, Mengru has always wanted me to join Mengru's disciples. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Meng Ru is a big branch of Confucianism, although after Jia Yi, the center is not obvious, but in the locality, it is the seat of the princes and kings, princes and wealthy families, and it is the most widely spread and popularized Confucian knowledge, even if it is the Spring and Autumn Classics that now rule the Han Dynasty.

At the end of the day, the reluctance to surrender is engraved in the bones, and the reluctance to be a slave is in the blood.

After the shock, there was a burst of anger, and the man in charge said angrily: "Meng Ru is no one who deceives me?" What you need to know about the imperial history ......"

He stopped suddenly, the Imperial Historian Sang Hongyang, the current highest-ranking figure in the Legalist family, the school had high hopes for him, and he lived up to expectations, all the way to the position of the Imperial Historian with his own ability.

But they all know that the teacher has been very dissatisfied with Sang Hongyang over the years.

once said quite worriedly: "Sang Hongyang, he is a person who is talented in seeking the country, but he has huge shortcomings, greedy for wealth and wealth, afraid of death, and does not know how to control himself."

Any of these three points will be close to death, but Sang Hongyang occupies all of them, so how can the teacher rest assured?

In the past, Shang Ying's talent was amazing, and the final outcome was not only his own death, but also the entire Legalist family being trampled on.

Legalism is a great road that has been used by the world, but it has always become a knife in the hands of the monarch, and there is a murderous knife in this world that is not abandoned in the end?

We should learn from that.

A hundred years ago, King Zhaosheng practiced the Fa in Zhaocheng, which was regarded as a shame by the Legalists, but after thinking about it for many years, he thought that King Zhaosheng had done it and saved the Legalists.

Man lives with flesh and blood, and if there is something filthy in his flesh, he will die, and this is the principle between heaven and earth.

The practice of the Zhaosheng King is to help the Legalists to expel the filth from the texts of the sages.

The Qin Dynasty fell, but the Legalists survived for a hundred years, thanks to this.

Sang Hongyang's current wealth is the blood and tears of hundreds of people, and the resentment of countless nobles and heroes.

If you offend one, there is still life, but like him, isn't death a doomed end?

I'm very worried about being a teacher.

On the day of Sang Hongyang's death, I am afraid that the Legalists will be trampled on again.

King Zhaosheng is the god of the world, upholding the decree of Emperor Suwang, being selfless and selfless, and convincing people with reason, but I am afraid that this is not the case with the practice of the law presided over by others.

The rest of the schools are all planted by the predecessors, and the descendants take advantage of the shade, but I am the only Legalist, the predecessors cut down the trees, and the descendants suffered, which is really ridiculous, ridiculous. ”

As soon as he thought of this, he felt a little desperate in his heart, and could only ask: "Zizheng, what do you think?" ”

Liu Xiang raised his head and said word by word: "The Legalist family is the great road that has been used by the world, and the officials in the world are all the children of my Legalist family."

Even those well-known Confucian and Huang Lao students will also use our Legalist methods when governing the government.

But my Legalist sages always help my husband succeed.

If that powerful businessman is jealous, those insects that are harmful to the world, the more jealous they are, the more correct what I have done.

But what about the facts?

Those most ordinary people are eager to eat their flesh raw, which is unacceptable to me.

After studying the classics over the years, I feel more and more trembling, a kind of coldness born from the heart, there must be a major flaw in the theory of Legalism!

Confucianism is today's manifest learning, and we all call it Confucianism, saying that it can only be empty talk, not affairs.

But I have been thinking about it for a long time, how long the Confucian inheritance is, far more than my Legalist, only Huang Lao can compare with it.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the monarchs of all countries did not use Confucianism, but Confucianism became more and more prosperous.

The rest of the schools have risen and fallen, but the trend of Confucianism has never been broken.

During the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor respected the law, implemented magic to govern the country, and even banned Confucian classics.

The prosperity of Confucianism has not diminished in the slightest!

The Han Dynasty was established, and Empress Gao and King Luowen all ruled the country with Huang Lao, supplemented by Confucianism, but the Confucian students above the court far surpassed Huang Lao.

Emperor Xiaowen respects Confucianism, and the dusk of a hundred schools is coming!

The emperor is still defeated when he pulls the bias, not to mention Confucianism?

Sure enough, in a short period of time, we had to lie dormant, and finally it was Emperor Xiaowen who forcibly set aside some official positions for us non-Confucian schools.

What a shame!

Is this just empty talk?

If that were the case, it would be even more shameful!

It is my great wish to enter Confucianism, read through the scriptures, find out why Confucianism flourished, and transform Legalism!

This is the teacher's deathbed, in front of the soldiers who captured him, confessed to me, which is not only the teacher's order, but also my great wish, this may be my fate. ”

As he spoke, he took out a fragment of his clothes soaked in blood, and everyone was dumbfounded, shocked by Liu Xiang's thoughts, and the man at the head was silent for a long time and said, "Then in the future, are you a Confucian disciple or a Legalist disciple?"

Are we still brothers? ”

Liu Xiang said in a deep voice: "Confucianism Xunzi taught a Legalist sage like Han Feizi, and taught a Legalist like Li Si, where is the boundary between Confucianism and Confucianism so far?"

If one day, I can understand the boundaries between Confucianism and Confucianism, and on the day I am listed in the temple of all sons, across Confucianism, it will be me. ”

After speaking, he walked directly to the door, walked beyond the threshold, knelt down again, kowtowed three times, got up, left, and never looked back.
