Yu Yue gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Combining Confucianism and Buddhism? What kind of fusion method? Buddhism talks about the equality of all living beings, while Confucianism talks about adhering to one's own duties. These two sects are fundamentally opposed and cannot be mixed into one.
At most, the Hu people believe in Buddhism and the Han people stick to Confucianism, so they can live in harmony with each other."
Heipao shook his head: "Then you say that Liu Yu is like this now. Under the banner of Confucian loyalty and filial piety, he actually does things that want everyone to be equal, so that people have the opportunity to achieve wealth through their own efforts, rather than being destined to do so.
What is it to live under others, to be ruled and enslaved by others?"
Yu Yue was so choked that he couldn't speak. Heipao sighed: "It's actually very stupid to simply say Confucianism or metaphysics. Since Emperor Qin Shihuang, hundreds of schools of thought have gradually declined. After Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism,
, there is only one mainstream theory left, Confucianism. Other theories often have to be put on the cloak of Confucianism to become popular in the world. That is to say, in the past hundred years, your family's high-ranking families have been empty-handed by supporting the emperor since the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Only when you have real power can you dare to let metaphysics flourish. Before the change, even the techniques of Legalism needed a Confucian scholar."
"Because Confucianism has been regarded by the world as the doctrine of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are also the foundation for everyone to live in this world, and are the basic moral principles. Without this, the country will not be able to survive, and it will be difficult for individuals to survive. That's you.
Metaphysics cannot abandon the emperor and the country. Otherwise, in this troubled world where barbarians are rampant and wars are constant, how can the ideal world of self-reliance, isolation, and inaction be realized?
"
Yu Yue sighed: "You are right. No matter what you do in this world now, you must put on a Confucian skin. In this way, Liu Yu uses Confucian skin. In fact, he wants to subvert it after gaining power.
The order of the entire world, in the end, even the king is no longer needed."
The black robe nodded: "Yes, his explanation of benevolence and righteousness means that everyone is equal, there is no king in the world, and everyone has the opportunity to become a king. This will definitely greatly stimulate the common people to contribute to the country.
The reason why the Qin State became powerful after Shang Yang's reform was because Shang Yang gave ordinary people and even slaves a chance to get ahead through the military merit and the farming and war system. Liu Yu is doing such a thing now, and his ambition is far greater than Shang Yang's."
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "Yes, Shang Yang just lured the people for a while and granted him a title to make a wish. But in fact, if the Qin people want to rely on military merit to reach the rank of knight, it is very difficult for the ninth level and above. If it is only eight
Civil nobility below the rank will be taken back after death and cannot be passed on to children and grandchildren. To put it bluntly, they can only have a small power at the grassroots level in this life. They don't have to worry about food and clothing. In fact, the country does not have much investment and losses.
At least, it is negligible compared to the rewards obtained by stimulating the enthusiasm of these low-level people and even slaves."
The black robe laughed: "But Liu Yu not only lured the people for a while, but also wanted to popularize education for all people for free. This really gave the people the ability to govern the country. In the future, they can also be promoted through governance.
Sir, this is what will kill your family, and even all the nobles. If everyone could read and write, everyone could know how to read and respond to rituals, and everyone could manage a village, a township, a county, or a country.
If the country has no gentry, then what’s the point of having gentry? Everyone is a gentry, which means there are no gentry in the world. If the gentry does not exist, where will the aristocratic family be? So, what Liu Yu, a benevolent and righteous Confucian, did in the end was to eliminate them.
Of all the matters of hierarchy and order in Confucianism, this is what is really powerful. I think even a very smart man like Liu Muzhi may not be able to think of this."
Yu Yue shook his head: "Liu Muzhi can definitely think of this, but he is now a nobleman, a new aristocratic family. From the position where his butt is sitting, he is not willing to do this. As for Liu Yu, who knows his mind
How did it happen? He obviously has the power of a king and can even establish himself as an emperor at any time, but he thinks that the world will no longer need an emperor and everyone can become a monarch. I don’t know what he wants. Could it be that he really wants to?
A reputation that lasts forever? But he doesn’t even care about his descendants, so what’s the use of having this false reputation? Who will pay homage to his grave and sweep his tomb after a hundred years or thousands of years?"
The black robe sighed: "Perhaps Liu Yu wants to treat everyone in the world as his descendants. Unlike us, he values blood inheritance and family continuation. This is different from you who are cultivating immortals and asking questions.
It's exactly the same if you want to live forever and don't want to take your whole family and your descendants to ascend. Therefore, you have to regard Liu Yu as a monk, not a person in the world. Then you can understand. "
Speaking of this, Hei Pao's eyes flashed coldly: "So, only by stepping out of this world and looking at it from a perspective higher than the inherent rules and order of the world, can we come up with new ideas such as the equality of all people. This Taoist view
It is hypocritical to say that everyone is equal, because in fact, even if there is no emperor, and even if the villages are independent, there still needs to be a village chief, a landlord who takes the lead. The whole village needs to work hard to support their families. Of course, they can
He said that he had given his management responsibilities and should be rewarded. From this point of view, every village has a local emperor, and the world is full of such small village-level countries."
Yu Yue sneered and said: "What you say is that the metaphysics of our family is hypocritical. In fact, it still requires hierarchy and rule. And Liu Yu's theory is that everyone is truly equal, but I am
If you don’t believe it, everyone is equal, so can everyone really enjoy the power? Without the king, without the country, without the entire governance system from king to officials, who is willing to obey the management of others? Why should I?
He works hard to cultivate the land, but he can make a living by fishing? Why should I go to the battlefield when there is a war, but he can't go? Without rank, how can we rule?"
The black robe shook his head: "Liu Yu probably still has to keep the country, officials, and managers, but everyone has the opportunity to become a leader through meritorious service, instead of relying entirely on blood inheritance and hereditary changes like now. In other words, you are now
The inheritance of power is solidified, but what he wants is fluid, with the capable ones going up and the mediocre ones going down, rather than just relying on good reincarnation to enjoy the success."
Yu Yue let out a long sigh: "At this point, I admit that our metaphysics cannot be cracked, because now even I don't believe in the theory that I am a hero and a hero is a hero. If it is true that noble blood means superhuman ability,
The dynasties of the previous generations would not have perished due to foolish and tyrannical kings, and the children of our aristocratic families would not have become the laughing stock of the world like they are now. Let me put it bluntly, how can you break the idea that everyone is equal with your Buddhist theory?
