Chapter 396: Decision
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "What? The harm of the family, before the next one was finished, the princess was already panicking? ”
Liu Yu asked in surprise: "What?" And also? ”
Jia Xu made a gesture of "please" and said, "Please sit down for a while, and continue to speak." ”
Lu Zhi, Liu Yu and others knelt down on their seats again with anxiety.
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Third, if the power of the family is not contained, it will destroy all the people in the world. Why? Very simple. If the powerful families become more powerful, it is likely that they will not form a close interest group to control the world, but will likely choose to become a separatist warlord and occupy one side. ”
As soon as they heard this, Lu Zhi, Liu Yu and others quickly understood. Lu Zhi said: "What Mr. said is extremely true. The big families originally took one county and one county as their sphere of influence, and some families even spanned several counties. The family has a vast land, a large number of household registrations, a strong clan army, sufficient money and food, and a strong dock wall, in fact, it is the same prince. If they rebel together, it is easy to occupy the county and claim the throne of each one. ”
Jia Xu bowed slightly to Lu Zhi and said, "Lu Gong's analysis is very correct, that's exactly what I think below, and the family is so terrifying." Lu Gong, please imagine, the world is so big, the number of counties is geometric, and the number of families is geometric? ”
Lu Zhi said with a worried face: "There are hundreds of thousands of Hanjia counties, and the number of big families is not more than hundreds of thousands? ”
Jia Xu smiled: "Yes! There are so many counties and counties, and the world is so big, but there are so many big families, there is not enough for them to share. It is the instinct of the family to annex land, and after rebelling and becoming warlords, expanding their territory is an inevitable choice they will make.
At that time, these small princes will fight for the territory of the county and county, and they will return to the old road of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the world will no longer be unified, and all the people in the world will return to division and war! What's even more terrifying is that the family is full of talents, so their war ability and ability to resist war are very strong. In other words, the chaotic war between them will never end in just a few decades. It is very likely that the troubled times they started will last for hundreds of years before ending, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In order to protect the territory and seize the territory, the families had to use severe enslavement to send them to the battlefield and force them to death. This means that all the people of the world will suffer the devastation of centuries of brutal war.
During the Warring States Period, Qin General Bai Qi alone directly led to the death of millions of soldiers in the Six Kingdoms. The family is full of talents, and the potential 'white rise' among them, and the deaths they will bring, must be several times greater than that of the Warring States.
This is what is said below: If the great families are not severely attacked, they will surely perish all the people of the world. ”
As soon as these words came out, the worries on the faces of Lu Zhi, Liu Yu and others became a little more.
Even Ma Chao and Yang Biao, who had long been determined to attack the family, were deeply worried because of Jia Xu's words. Because even they had never thought before that the harm of the family clan had reached such a level.
Jia Xu said: "Fourth, if the family sits on a big scale, Confucianism will surely perish." ”
When everyone heard this, they were quite puzzled, and Huang Wan questioned: "What Mr. said is not right?" One of the important reasons why the family has grown to this level is that all the families use scriptures and books to pass on their families, and every family regards themselves as Confucian disciples. The Confucian principles and etiquette seem to be useless, but in fact they establish a strict order for the family, bring the family together, and point out the direction for the development of the family. ”
Liu Yu also said: "Not bad. Moreover, my Han Dynasty respects Confucianism alone, and the children of the family can only be officials and power by studying Confucianism. Confucianism is so important to the family, how could the family destroy the Great Wall? ”
Jia Xu smiled slightly, walked between Liu Yu and Huang Wan, and said, "What the public said is good, of course they are the most devout believers in Confucius and Mencius. But this only exists when the study of Confucius and Mencius is still useful to them.
Why do the family respect Confucianism instead of Legalism? Very simply, the three outlines and five constants of Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, coupled with the complicated etiquette requirements, create a stable and orderly order in the world, which is a big breeding ground for the family. They can rely on the system and order established by Confucianism and take the opportunity to master all aspects of the world.
However, as time goes by, the more the family sits on the throne, and the original system and order will be changed. At that time, there will be no monarchs and ministers in the world, or there will be no great unification. Then Confucianism and scripture became anachronistic, and then they still needed Confucianism? ”
Lu Zhi, Liu Yu and others suddenly realized that with the intelligence of these people, of course they knew that Confucianism was the academic support of the unified imperial society. If the imperial system and the great unification are gone, Confucianism will of course be abandoned by the family. The art of Confucius and Mencius could not be inherited, which was absolutely unacceptable to Confucian disciples such as Lu Zhi, Liu Yu, and Yang Biao.
And Ma Chao doesn't care about this. As a modern soul, Ma Chao has seen all the ills that rigid Confucianism has brought to this nation. Compared with Confucianism, Ma Chao is more inclined to the ideas of Legalism.
Jia Xu thought that he had said a lot, so he walked back to his seat, Ma Chao's side, and concluded: "Therefore, I think that if we don't attack the family and suppress the merger, the family will eventually destroy the Han family, the imperial system, the people, and Confucianism." In short, to destroy everything we know and hold dear. After listening to the words of the next generation, can't you still make a final decision? ”
Ma Chao looked at Lu Zhi, Liu Yu and others, and was surprised to find that these people still had a difficult face and a frown, and after listening to Jia Xu's words, everyone was worried and restless.
Lu Zhi looked resolute, palms together, bowed to Ma Chao slightly, and said, "This is a big matter, please let the old man and his teachers and friends think twice." ”
Ma Chao was about to nod in agreement, but Wu Fu got up angrily and said loudly: "Lu Gong doesn't need to say much!" The harm of the family is so great, how can we, as scholars and ministers of the Han family, stand by and do nothing! ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that this Wu Fu was really the righteous man in history who dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo!
Liu Yu also stood up from his seat and said, "Brother Zi, the old man also intends to save the society from peril, please make a decision quickly!" ”
Ma Chao was even more overjoyed, and glanced at Jia Xu with a tacit smile. Ma Chao knew that Liu Yu was a rare wise man in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so it was not surprising that he made such a decision; However, Jia Xu's thinking was different from Ma Chao's, Jia Xu believed that Liu Yu, as a member of the Han family, of course he could not tolerate the family threatening the rule of the Han family, so he strongly supported it.
