After talking about this for a long time, I suddenly returned to the method of promoting Qin.

This book is also the title of this class.

Logically speaking, this is what it should be.

But this turn of events surprised everyone, especially Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and others.

Because the emphasis on classics is a very important idea in Legalism.

So to oppose the emphasis on the classics is to oppose Legalism.

Zhang Fei's defense against Chongdian was recognized by many people, so in terms of debate, it would be better to go back from there.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei's argument that he chose to pursue litigation and caused the government to waste money would come back to him.

Not to mention those students, Fu Bi and the others all looked at each other. What is the relationship between the two?

The key is to reduce the cost of government governance. This is the advantage of Legalism!

Wang Anshi originally wanted to argue with Zhang Fei on this point.

The Song Dynasty was faced with this problem, and it was precisely because of precautions and regulations that the entire administrative agency became very bloated.

The establishment of the Ordinance Department of the second government is an equity measure to address this problem.

But the New Deal still faces this problem, there are too many opponents.

Wang Anshi couldn't help but ask: "What is the relationship between the two?"

Zhang Fei pretended to be stunned, and then looked at Wang Anshi in surprise.

Wang Anshi felt a little guilty when he saw it, and hurriedly explained: "I'm really sorry, I'm just interrupting, I'm just confused about it, you can continue with the class."

Cai Bian immediately said: "We are also confused by what Wang Xueshi said."

Zhang Fei nodded without thinking too much. He also knew that he couldn't stop it, but he had to exert pressure, otherwise there would be endless quarrels.

He pondered for a while, "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius traveled around the world. Why was Confucianism never recognized? If Confucius's teachings were adopted, would it be successful?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Ye Zuqia shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not."

"Why?"

Zhang Fei asked.

Ye Zuqia replied: "Confucianism talks about the rule of virtue, which requires education, and education takes time. However, the situation at that time was that countries were attacking each other, and there was no chance to breathe. Before Qin used Shang Yang, the country was facing life and death. Confucianism

Naturally, it is difficult to be reused, and even if it is reused, it will be difficult to succeed."

Shangguan Jun added: "But since the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, the people have been deeply educated. Even if the dynasty changes, Confucianism is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It can be seen that as long as Confucianism is given time, Legalism will not be able to defeat Confucianism."

Cai Bian said: "This is wrong. Qin's success must be attributed to its military merit system. Without land rewards, Qin soldiers would not fight bravely to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

But where did the land come from? Not only did it come from occupying land in other countries, but it also came from the nobles of the Qin State at that time. This was also the result of Legalism.

Confucianism founded a country based on loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and wanted to protect the rights and interests of those nobles. Even if Confucianism succeeded in educating soldiers, there would be no place to reward soldiers. In terms of force, they were absolutely no match for the legalists."

Wang Anshi took a liking to this person at first sight. Isn't this the talent I want?

Shangguan Jun hummed: "The fields will always be rewarded one day, but benevolence and righteousness are endless. You win for a while, but you can't win for the rest of your life. Facts have also proved that Legalism can only win for a while."

Cai Bian said: "At the time of life and death, this moment is one lifetime. In everything, we still have to judge the situation and not be rigid and conservative."

The two are at odds with each other.

In fact, what they are arguing about is also a major contradiction between Legalism and Confucianism. Legalism pursues continuous development and progress, while Confucianism pursues imitation of the saints and is relatively conservative.

But this is already a cliché.

Therefore, the group of old masters behind you are very anxious to see why you are starting to fight among yourselves.

Yeah, yeah! This guy is so cunning, he actually started a dispute between Confucianism and Legalism so that his legal system could benefit from it.

When Yan Fu and others were about to stop them, Zhang Fei actually spoke first: "In fact, there is nothing wrong with your answers and they are all correct, but this also fully reflects that your Confucianism is really messed up."

Um?

The classroom suddenly became quiet.

If you say that our legal studies are not good, then that's it. You actually say that our Confucianism is a mess. The key point is, why do you, Zhang San, say that?

Cai Jing asked: "Why did the teacher say that?"

Zhang Fei asked rhetorically: "Is Confucianism inherited...?"

"Zhou Li!"

"Who was the emperor at that time?"

"Emperor Zhou."

"Yes!"

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Confucius promoted the Zhou rites and talked about monarchs and ministers. Do you think the princes can use him? You talk about Confucianism but don't talk about loyalty and filial piety. Is your Confucianism a complete mess?"

this..

How embarrassing!

The expressions on the faces of Cai Bian and others are extremely rich.

Those old masters also shook their heads, you guys, you are so unlucky that you even have to be reminded of this by an Erbi.

What a tragedy!

Ye Zuqia argued: "What we are fighting for is the way to prosper the Qin Dynasty. We should discuss the matter according to the situation. This is probably just a secondary reason."

In that situation, Emperor Zhou could not protect him. Confucius was not stupid, and he would not demand too much. The emotional intelligence of Confucius was absolutely first-rate.

"Of course." Zhang Fei nodded and said: "But you are all candidates. If you take this question in the imperial examination next year, if you don't answer this point, you may not be on the list. As a teacher, I naturally need to remind you.

you."

Fu Bi, Zeng Gongliang and others all laughed.

The students all raised their hands and said, "Thank you, teacher, for reminding me."

"This is my duty."

Zhang Fei made an understatement and added: "Judging from your debate just now, one thing is clear, that is, Legalism is more efficient, far better than Confucianism."

Having said this, he paused for a moment and then asked Zhao Xu behind him, "Official, can you allow me to say something inappropriate?"

Zhao Xu smiled and nodded.

Zhang Fei then continued: "If Qin Shihuang comes to our court, there will be only two results, either he will die suddenly, or he will kill all the ministers. Collecting taxes according to law is such a simple issue, but in our court,

It can cause a huge quarrel, but what is even more depressing is that the quarrel will end in vain. Can Qin Shihuang bear it?"

The students were all happy.

The ministers were embarrassed.

Who are you kidding?

But Zhao Xu liked to hear it very much. He was such a confidant! He expressed the grievances in my heart.

It was really not easy to govern the country in the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Fei added: "As for the problem of consumption just mentioned, Legalists can accomplish the greatest things with the lowest consumption, because anything can be solved by the emperor with just one sentence. Who dares to say no?"

Cai Jing asked curiously: "Since Legalism is so good, why does the teacher say that we should learn from it?"

"Because the bad is here."

Zhang Fei said: "It's too simple, so if Qin Shihuang comes to our court, he will either die in a hurry or kill all the ministers. He cannot agree with the concept of preventing things and controlling them.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and the same is true in politics. You already have the fastest shortcut, why should you take the long way around? When a river blocks the road, why build a bridge? It is a waste of time. Soldiers are valuable and quick, so just throw them away.

Just put a few hundred people in and fill in the river channel. How simple.

Legalism's saving of consumption only saves the consumption of the monarch and the country, but the consumption saved will inevitably be doubled on the people."

These words made those old masters feel extremely happy.

This is quite well said.

That's it.

"But that's not the most deadly thing."

Zhang Fei said: "If Legalism can only be used for a while, then Legalism is stronger than Confucianism, but the problem is that Legalism is irreversible. It is completely understandable that Qin used Legalism to rejuvenate the country in times of crisis.

, if you don’t try to be strong, it will be over.

But after unifying the six countries, it is impossible to abolish Legalism and use another plan to govern the country!"

Cai Bian suddenly interrupted him, "Teacher, what you said is wrong. Fusu has always been wise. If Fusu had ascended the throne at that time, the destruction of the Qin Dynasty might have been avoided."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "If Fusu comes to power, no matter how wise he is, he will be the second emperor of Qin with a good reputation. The outcome is unchangeable. I can tell you directly that if Fusu comes to power and governs the country with benevolence, he will be tolerant."

What will happen when we treat our people?
