Since Liu Ai succeeded to the throne, he has ordered the recruitment of talents more than once, and asked the county officials to recommend talents with outstanding talents and honest moral character in their own county.

"Please go!"

A high, disdainful voice sounded, and a black-faced scribe said, "The kingdom is small, and I dare not accommodate an evil talent like you. ”

The young man's clothes were a little messy, his hair was scattered at will, and even a little dirty, very embarrassed, he was full of grief and indignation: "Is this what the king meant?" I don't believe that it must be you, a traitor, who are among you who are offering slander. ”

The black-faced scribe sneered: "You stupid person, look at what kind of academic classics you have treated, who would dare to take you in in this world now?"

Don't blame us, if you want to blame, blame your teachers and sages for not accumulating virtue for you. ”

These words woke up the young man, and he left the place in a somewhat dejected state.

……

"Your talent quota is gone, and filial piety is even more impossible, and the county guards and liehous who are familiar with each other are unwilling to recommend."

"Why? Didn't these people still make friends with you in previous years? ”

"Because Sang Hong sheep were cooked, because some people didn't like us, because we became the culprits of the trouble."

"The imperial court did not issue an edict saying that we would not be allowed to enter the ranks, but there were clear provisions in the Han law that each family must have someone to be an official, and the court violated the Han law by doing so."

It is a paradox that the imperial court violated the laws of the Han Dynasty.

The law is made by the king, and the law is under the king, and this is the purpose of Legalism.

Now the king wants the law to die, and the law has to die.

This is the case with the so-called self-destruction.

The only way to resist is to learn from Confucianism, first to give the king the name of Wudao, and then to crusade against him, just as the princes of Jingnan did.

But wouldn't that be an acknowledgment that the law is wrong under the king?

Neither of them was talking.

……

In a slightly dimly lit room, kneeling sat several middle-aged men dressed in scribe's crown robes, who were now the main leaders of the Sanjin Legalists.

"Your Majesty asked each of the counties in the world to recommend a virtuous and upright, and the Confucian family got seventy percent, and the rest of the families got thirty percent."

"In our lineage, none of the county guards and princes and kings are willing to recommend."

"The princes were also unwilling to show off their talents for us, and even some of the scholars who had previously entered and left the shogunate were dismissed."

The faces of everyone in the room were a little gloomy, "The disaster of the tyrannical Qin, the disaster of the emperor, the people of the world blame it on us and others, so I am afraid that I will not be able to avoid it." ”

Someone sighed and said: "Emperor Er was expelled by the princes of Jingnan, and the retinue of the troubled ministers were either killed or exiled, and only Sang Hongyang was killed."

'The first sin is the emperor, the second sin is the sheep'.

This is really an indelible stain, with such a reputation, where should we go! ”

After experiencing the incident of Sang Hongyang, the rest of the families will naturally fall into the ground, the battle of schools, you live and die, and now the Sanjin Legalists are like filth, and the princes of the world can avoid it, even the emperor Liu Yi has not dared to use it.

As long as the emperor wants to enable the students of the Sanjin Legalists, as long as he says, "Your Majesty uses the Qin method, does he want to emulate the old things of the violent Qin and the Emperor?" "You can directly send the emperor back.

A scribe with a resolute face said: "Legalism is a great way to be used by the world, and since Emperor Xiaowen revered Confucianism, each family has relied on the grace of the imperial court to survive."

Only my Legalist can always stand against Confucianism, because I am a Legalist scholar, a king, a king, a society, and a simple emperor. ”

These words reached the hearts of everyone, and they echoed them: "Yes, those Confucian scholars will only talk about rhetoric and talk nonsense about rebuilding Zhou Luo and prospering the royal road. ”

At this time, a voice sounded abruptly, "Confucianism is boastful, the world has gained seven or eight, and it is almost about to annex all families.

Luo Wen Xiaowen used Huang Lao and Confucianism to create the rule of the world, the use of the emperor, and the chaos of the people, how to explain this to the world? ”

Lies don't hurt, the truth is the quick knife!

These two sentences directly made everyone unable to hold back, and their faces collapsed almost instantly, and they forcibly defended themselves: "That's all done by a person, how can you blame my Legalist family?"

Isn't it proof that my Legalist sages are in charge of the temple of all sons? ”

Everyone glanced at him with an inexplicable meaning, what does Guan Zi have to do with us, that is the sage of Qi Fa, admit that my father is wrong.

The old man sitting at the head stopped everyone and sighed, "What is the point of saying these words at this time?

Are you just watching my Legalist family die out?

Is it true that my Legalist family has no merit?

If this is the case, why didn't King Zhaosheng directly destroy my Dharma family when he practiced the Fa in Zhaocheng?

Do you think that the King of Zhaosheng is soft-hearted?

Do you think that the Holy King of Zhao can't do it?

That's ridiculous.

It is because my Legalist family must be valuable in this world, so we can get the mercy of King Zhaosheng and allow us to exist! ”

Everyone was silent, and suddenly someone walked in and said, "Gong Chen, Liu Xiang Liu Zizheng is back." ”

Liu Zizheng!

Everyone present knew that he was a relative of the Liu family, and he was once a disciple of Jiegong, with high talent, proficient in laws and regulations, and a disciple of the Legalists, who was originally the leader of the new generation of Legalists.

But after Jiegong died at the hands of Liu Dan, he left the Legalist family and mixed with the people of Confucianism, and even became a scribe under the military tent of the princes of Jingnan.

One of his own most outstanding disciples actually threw himself into the opponent's disciples, and even the Legalists, who didn't care much about the inheritance of master and apprentice, and even attacked each other, felt ashamed, and had a sense of shame being trampled under the feet of Confucianism.

Liu Xiang walked into the house, and after saluting, he said directly: "What you said just now, Xiang heard it outside. ”

As soon as Liu Xiang said this, everyone's faces were a little ugly, as the saying goes, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and now it is really embarrassing to throw it home.

Liu Xiang said with emotion: "What Chen Gong said just now is good, back then, King Zhaosheng did not practice the Legalists, presumably the Legalists must have merit, so why should you be arrogant?"

I've been thinking about why the disciples of the Legalists have the talent to apply to the world, but they always help their husbands to succeed and cause misfortune to the common people.

Why is it that Confucianism can always stand at the highest point of morality, and it is clear that all the dirty and tiring deeds are punished by the name of the official, but the king respects the Confucian sages? ”

Everyone wanted to scold Liu Xiang and let him leave, but what Liu Xiang said happened to be what they were puzzled about, so they all forcibly endured it, wanting to hear what Liu Xiang had done over the years.

Liu Xiang said with a light in his eyes: "Over the years, I have traveled with Confucian disciples, communicated with the disciples of Lao Zhuang Dao, debated with the children of the Mo family, and learned from others, I have come to a conclusion.

The sins in the Legalist texts are that there is 'no people in the supreme' and 'there is no evil but no good'.

I once communicated with Meng Ru's disciples, why Meng Ru took the elimination of the only husband as his own responsibility, the disciples of Meng Ru said that the king is the most important thing in the world, the king can benefit the world if he does good, and the king will cause chaos if he harms the people, and the punishment of the single husband is not to threaten the emperor all the time, but let the king not be careless.

The law comes from the king, but there is still a way in this world, which is above the Son of Heaven!

That is the hearts of the people in the world.

This is the truth that the people are noble and the king is light!

Just these four words.

My Legalist family will never be able to defeat Meng Ru! ”

Hearing this, a few people in the Legalist family couldn't help it, and scolded loudly: "It's just a fallacy, everything in the world comes from the king, without the king's constraints, will Haoqiang be obedient and kind to the people?"

Without the king's restraint, would the wicked officials be fair to the people and the powerful who sit in the law?

How can a king do these things if he is not powerful enough and holy enough?

No one should challenge the authority of the king, especially one who committed such a rebellion as the Battle of the Martyrdom!

Look at the Jingnan princes, are they still in Chang'an City?

If the Jingnan princes did it right, then why did the emperor drive all these Jingnan princes back to Kanto? ”

Liu Xiang looked at a few people coldly, looked at them and scolded himself loudly, listening quietly, the voices of several people became lower and lower, they looked at each other a few times, and then asked suspiciously: "Why don't you refute?" ”

Liu Xiang sneered and said, "Is there anything worth refuting this?" A few of you said well, isn't this the path that the lone husband gradually embarks on?

The more you talk, the more I feel that there is something wrong with the core idea of Legalism!

Meng Confucianism is the most repulsive Confucian school of Legalism, and other schools will still learn some of the ideas of Legalism, but Meng Confucianism rejects Legalism greatly.

Do you know what those students of Meng Ru said about the Legalists? ”

Saying that, he looked around at everyone and sneered: "Legalist words and laws, doctors and common people, treat everyone equally, Legalist students have always been strong and not afraid of the powerful, do you think that Meng Ru is praising you and others?"

Scold.

Legalism is completely obedient to the king from the root of thought, and the bottom line of Legalism is gradually lowered with the heavy pressure of the king!

Those Confucianists, who fused Legalist ideas, embarked on the wrong path.

Confucianism, that's Legalism, not Confucianism!

Once a Confucian disciple is contaminated with the ideas of Legalism, he will eventually become a cynic who obeys the king!

A great talent like Sang Hongyang, for the sake of glory and wealth, succumbed to a single husband like Liu Dan, and the court was full of ministers, none of whom pointed out Liu Dan's mistakes to his face, and no one dared to directly reprimand him with a single husband.

Water and fire are incompatible, and the way of the supreme and the way of the king and the light cannot exist at the same time.

This is Meng Ru's thought. ”

Full house!

Cynic!

This is scolding those Confucians who are in the same stream as Liu Dan, and at the same time, they are also scolding Legalists, in the mouth of Meng Ru, the Legalist ideology has become the source of all evil, lest it be avoided.

"Ridiculous!"

"Ridiculous!"

was scolded by pointing their noses like this, so angry that several people couldn't even finish speaking, but they didn't know how to refute it.

Throughout the past generations of the Sanjin Legalists, they have never reprimanded the king, and they are really the first-class obedient ministers in the world.

"Do you want to hear about evil and good?"

Questions:

Confucianism after the bones of Confucianism.

Is there more Confucianism or more Legalism?
