Wu Changfeng picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and immediately started writing with his pen flying. Zhu Yiyuan watched from the side, and the more he looked at him, the more he frowned.
After waiting for more than half an hour, when Wu Changfeng stopped writing, he had written more than a thousand words, eloquently and impressively.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Yiyuan. There seemed to be confusion and unwillingness in his eyes. He asked himself, his literary talent was not bad and his reading was solid. How come he could not even pass the examination as a scholar? This is a strange thing.
Zhu Yiyuan slowly picked up his article and said casually: "Have you read Han Feizi?"
Wu Changfeng was startled and said in deep thought: "I read it a few years ago. How did you figure out Qian Shi?"
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "You have written down all the severe punishments and laws, but I still can't see it? One's thoughts cannot be concealed. I think you admire Shang Yang very much, right?"
Wu Changfeng was stunned again, "Qian Shi, over the years, civil and military affairs have been frivolous and disciplines have been weakened. It is the right time to establish prestige, win the hearts of the people, eradicate silverfish, and restore the country's prestige... isn't it right?"
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "It's not wrong, it's just not in line with the examiner's taste. I know the reason why you failed in the exam."
Wu Changfeng's face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "I wonder what the new examiner thinks?"
Zhu Yiyuan shook his head, "From the bottom of my heart, I don't like your article. Especially the interior part."
Wu Changfeng's expression suddenly changed. He wanted to explode, but suppressed it. In the end, he only said, "I didn't expect that Qian Shi was also a pedantic person."
Zhu Yiyuan laughed loudly, "Wu Changfeng, please sit down first and let's have a good chat."
Wu Changfeng reluctantly sat down, and Zhu Yiyuan poured him a glass of water, and then said: "You admire Qin's method, so I would like to ask you, what does Qin rely on to unify the six countries?"
Wu Changfeng blurted out: "Of course there are severe punishments and strict laws and prohibitions."
Zhu Yiyuan shook his head, "Otherwise, it is good for the Qin State to pursue Legalism, but at the critical moment when the First Emperor unified the world, it was the Prime Minister Lu Buwei who absorbed various factions and established a mixed family. In battles, merit is not simply recorded by the head.
The appearance of the tiger and wolf army... It was this adjustment that allowed the Qin army to smoothly sweep across the six countries. Of course, the Qin State was the foundation of Legalism, which goes without saying, but Lu Buwei's achievements cannot be underestimated. He reconciled Confucianism with Mohism and merged Confucianism with Confucianism.
Fa, why is this?"
Wu Changfeng was suddenly shocked. He was surrounded by pedantic scholars. Everyone fell into stereotypes and did not understand these things at all. Therefore, he was quite surprised to hear Zhu Yiyuan's words.
"What teachings does Qian Shi have?"
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "Nothing to talk about, I want to ask you, the Qing army sent Duduo south, massacre in Yangzhou, massacre in Jiading, massacre in Jiangyin... killing all the way, people and gods were angry, but why did they send Hong Chengchou to appease Jiangnan?"
Wu Changfeng thought for a while and then said: "If we just slaughter and the people rise up to fight, tens of thousands of Qing soldiers will be killed in one Jiangyin. If there are ten or eight Jiangyins, all the Tatars will be dead!"
Wu Changfeng thought about it again, and suddenly realized, "What does Qian Shi mean? It requires a combination of hardness and softness? For example, when the Qin State unified the world, although 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed in the Battle of Changping, the people of the Six Kingdoms would rather die than surrender.
, even if we attack one city after another, the Qin army will definitely not be able to take over the world?"
Zhu Yiyuan said: "Although the Qin State is despised by the six eastern countries, it is still a feudal lord created by the Zhou royal family. It is only natural and right to go out to seize the world. Now that the Eight Banners have entered the pass, they have shaved their heads and changed their clothes, there is a strong possibility that the world will perish. This
It’s not as simple as changing your surname to Yi Guo. Tell me, if you have to impose severe punishments, can you stop the Qing army?”
Wu Changfeng was completely confused. Was he wrong?
"If you don't use Legalism to do things, do you have to use corrupt Confucianism? If they are useful, why will the country be in chaos and the Tartars invade the pass?" Wu Changfeng said angrily.
Zhu Yiyuan chuckled and said, "What? Apart from Confucianism and Legalism, you can't think of anything else?"
"Ah." Wu Changfeng whispered subconsciously, "Can we still use Huang Lao?"
Zhu Yiyuan said: "Legalism adheres to harsh punishments and laws, and no matter how it treats ordinary people, it is not good. Confucianism has differences in love, and people have high and low status. After all, they govern the people with benevolence, righteousness, and kingship. They do not regard themselves as common people!"
"As a common person?" Wu Changfeng was horrified, "I really can't understand what Qian Shi said."
"There is nothing to understand. We are all ordinary people. We come from the people, and we also have to do things for the people. We go among the people and help them solve their problems. The various schools of thought in the pre-Qin Dynasty were all more or less aloof.
, it seems that the Mohist family can be better, but in the final analysis, not many scholars are willing to truly stand with the poor people." Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "So when I see your harsh punishments, I don't appreciate them. We are not driven by punishment.
We must love the people, work for the people, and solve their problems.”
Wu Changfeng became more and more confused, "Zhu Qianshi, what is the difference between this and those corrupt Confucian remarks?"
"The difference is huge, because we need to be close to the people and love them. They are the landless tenants, the traffickers and lackeys in the city, the miserable slaves and maids, and the poor people who make up the majority and no one cares about them."
Wu Changfeng frowned and suddenly said: "Where are those wealthy and powerful nobles and gentlemen?"
"Of course it's a complete liquidation!" Zhu Yiyuan sneered: "Severe punishments and laws are enough? Don't you ask, who made the law? With their laws, no matter what, it will be difficult to shake their foundation.
There is no way to escape the fate of people being extinct and governments being extinct." Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "Wu Changfeng, how do you think my theory compares to yours?"
Wu Changfeng sat there blankly, speechless for a long time. His heart was in turmoil. Oh my god, he initially thought Zhu Yiyuan was pedantic, lacked courage, and was unable to be ruthless. He felt very disappointed.
But at the end, Zhu Yiyuan showed his talents, which made him ashamed and ashamed.
The two sides are not on the same level at all.
He only thought about severe punishments, while Zhu Yiyuan wanted to dig up the ancestral graves of those people and liquidate them thoroughly.
Not only do they want to call you a bastard, they also need to prove that you are a bastard.
Moreover, we must take away all your property in a reasonable and legal manner.
I am not one of those who impose harsh punishments and laws. What I call doing is upholding justice for heaven and making decisions for the people.
The more Wu Changfeng thought about it, the more he felt that what Zhu Yiyuan said made sense, and the more he thought about it, the more enjoyable it became... "Qian Shi, then, can we start now?"
Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "It's not about taking action, it's about making decisions for the people. Let me remind you that the basis of this principle is not to let you bully the rich and powerful, but to let you be close to the people and love the people, because only by standing on the side of the people can you be justified.
, this is fundamental! When you forget about the people, dominate yourself, feel that you are superior, call the wind and rain, and do whatever you want. At that point, someone will naturally chop off your dog's head!"
Wu Changfeng was shocked and his expression suddenly changed.
Finally nodded, "I understand."
Zhu Yiyuan said: "Well, I will appoint you as the deputy director of the Judgment Department now, responsible for clearing up the unjust cases in Tancheng. Are you willing?"
Wu Changfeng almost jumped up all of a sudden, his eyes gleaming.
"Qianshi, are you asking me to be an official?"
Zhu Yiyuan did not speak, but picked up his pen and wrote three words at the end of his article: Tong Xiucai.
"You know what I mean?"
Wu Changfeng was stunned and murmured: "The same Jinshi is not a Jinshi, and the same scholar is not a scholar."
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "So you need to do your job well."
Wu Changfeng nodded vigorously, "I understand."
So what...it will be released at 0 o'clock. If nothing else, please support me.
