Chapter 344 Changan Lord has not taught students yet, how can he teach the world?
"If useless etiquette can be abolished, how can we get rid of the nobility?"
Fu Sheng kept his hands cupped and asked for advice humbly.
Fu Sheng, who is obsessed with classics, doesn't have high material requirements, as long as he can read books.
But just because he didn't ask for it doesn't mean that the Confucian disciples who followed him didn't ask for it.
The reason why these Confucian scholars were willing to follow him here was because, like Fu Sheng, they were committed to learning and studying classics.
The other half hoped to join Confucianism, become famous, and jump from the scholar class to the aristocratic class of officials.
Most of the schools of thought, with the exception of Mohism, are all doing this for the sake of fame and wealth. Desire is the driving force for human beings to keep moving forward.
Although he already had a draft in his mind, Ying Chengyu still wanted to hear what a great scholar had to say, and he would understand after listening.
If someone at the top doesn't think well, the bottom will be catastrophic.
Then he grabbed Fu Sheng's left and right hands and pulled them apart, and asked humbly:
"What do you think, sir?"
"...Chang'an Lord is so powerful. If someone in the imperial court takes action that day, Sheng will definitely be no match for him."
Fu Sheng was a little shocked again and told the truth, with a hint of loneliness on his face and said:
"I thought there was no solution to this theory. The most noble person in the world today is the First Emperor, the elder brother of Lord Chang'an."
I noticed that Ying Chengyu did not feel angry, cold or other emotions, nor did he interrupt his speech. Instead, he had an encouraging look on his face.
Fu Sheng, who felt the weird feeling in his heart becoming more and more serious, temporarily convinced himself, put down his worries, and said as if he were dead:
"Confucius said: 'Respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance.'
"The king and the people are like heaven and man. The people must respect the king and stay away from him. This is the difference between heaven and earth. Although they are both human beings, the people respect the king because they obey the king's command, and the people stay away from the king to maintain the king's mystery.
"The Lord of Chang'an used to target the nobles of the world during the Wax Festival. After returning to Xianyang, he also killed three major aristocratic families. Is it useful? It's useless.
"King, we need help from nobles to govern the people.
"As long as the king is alive, the nobility will never be destroyed."
These words were spoken so fluently that they obviously could not be made up in a moment.
After finishing speaking, Fu Sheng looked calm, open-minded and indifferent.
The words have been spoken, life and death are indifferent.
Ying Chengyu smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Fu Sheng's shoulders twice, easing the tense atmosphere created by Fu Sheng and aimed at Fu Sheng himself.
Ying Chengyu's two simple actions made Fu Sheng relax both physically and mentally - looking down on life and death does not mean wanting to die.
"Your thoughts are similar to mine before."
It's almost the same as before Chang'an Jun, but it's different from Chang'an Jun now...
Fu Sheng thought secretly, his anticipation getting stronger and stronger.
Although a change in thinking may not necessarily mean progress - resolving the issue of royal power, it may also be regression - overcoming the issue of royal power.
But Fu Sheng believed that it was more likely that Chang'an Jun, who wanted to be a king but not a king, and wanted to rebel against the king, would go further.
Then, he was disappointed.
"This world cannot live without my brother, just as the West cannot live without Jerusalem."
The great Confucians obviously didn't understand what Jerusalem was, but the West had some impressions - in the West of Xijia, which was very prosperous in Xianyang City, he committed suicide to break the situation and said that the nobles were not subject to the laws of Qin.
If it weren't for the veteran general Wang Ye, who led more than a thousand veterans, and gave Ying Chengyu an epiphany on the spot, the deadlock of the three aristocratic families might have been broken by the West.
The great scholar had doubts but did not ask questions.
First, this question has no impact on the current issue.
Second, the first sentence of Ying Chengyu has been finalized, and there is no need to listen to the subsequent words - the content extended from the maintenance of royal power cannot destroy the nobles.
From time to time, Ying Chengyu, who would say things that people of his time did not understand, wanted to warn himself not to indulge in ancient extravagance. When he saw that Fu Sheng was silent, he knew that this great Confucian was feeling sad, so he said in a deep voice:
"Sir, you might as well think about what the world would be like if the emperor passed away right now."
Fu Sheng has never thought about this problem.
The First Emperor was in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period, but his lifespan was far from coming. He was alert and intelligent, and surrounded by many experts. Over the years, assassins who came from nowhere have been killed one after another over the years, and the First Emperor was not even injured.
At the moment, my thoughts unfold and unfold into a picture.
On the shores of the East China Sea, there are groups of cattle running with sharp knives in their horns and burning flames on their tails.
Groups of corpses crawled out of the Changping Land, looking up to the sky and shouting with hatred: "Qin Dog! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
Mist is rising from the Yunmeng Swamp, and a Nirvana Phoenix bird is surrounded by flames like the sun, screaming and screaming.
"If Your Majesty dies, the world will be in chaos."
He was breathing very rapidly.
The remnants of the Six Kingdoms should be feared like gods, and the First Emperor who suppressed them until they did not dare to take any rash action should die. The Six Kingdoms who still cannot speak well of Qin's words will surely be restored to their own country.
Ying Chengyu continued to seduce:
"Then sir, you might as well think about it again. If the emperor's brother dies, Fusu will not be able to succeed. He can't convince Wang Wan, Li Si, Feng Quji, etc., and he can't convince arrogant soldiers like Wang Ben, Meng Tian, and Wang Jian.
What will happen when the young master who has returned to the throne as a strong general succeeds to the throne?"
The fire ox of the east gallops across the fields.
The descendants of Zhu Rong set fire to the prairie fire.
Hu Hua's martyrs will not rest until they die.
At this time, the Qin warriors in the west, who were invincible and capable of subduing oxen, phoenixes, and burying people, had not yet left the pass, but they were already acting on their own and falling apart.
From the history of later generations, we can know the answer:
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there were turbulent times, with the princes rising together, and Chu and Han fighting for hegemony.
Three million square kilometers of land were once again soaked in blood, and the population was reduced by half.
The Xiongnu, who did not dare to confront the Central Plains, took advantage of the situation to rise. The Western Han Dynasty had no choice but to be gentle with their relatives, recharge their batteries, and endure the humiliation.
It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he had accumulated enough money and food, had 700,000 war horses, and guard Huo Tiantian, so that he could change his offensive and defensive positions and gain the prestige of the Han Dynasty.
Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, China had always lowered its head and bowed its back in front of the Xiongnu.
Fu Sheng is not a person of later generations, but he knows the answer from the history that has happened - the Central Plains was devastated, the people were in dire straits, the Rong and Di were prosperous and prosperous, and China was humble and declined.
History repeats itself. When the central government is weak, local governments become strong. When local governments push the central government, China's overall strength will be reduced. If China is weak, Hu will be strong, and if Hu is strong, China will be humbled.
Whether it was King Zhou of Shang who conquered Dongyi and King Wu of Zhou stole his family, or King You of Zhou who tricked the princes to make Qin Xianggong rise, it is the same truth.
The scholar immediately broke into a cold sweat and did not dare to think any further.
“If Zhou loses his deer, the whole world will chase him away!
"The Qin Dynasty has lost His Majesty, and there is no one to succeed him. The land of China is in ruins!"
Ying Chengqiao shrugged his shoulders.
"I understand, in the Qin Dynasty, we must do things in line with the national policy of the Qin Dynasty, otherwise we will do harm with good intentions."
As long as people form a group, there will inevitably be someone who leads and someone who is led.
This has nothing to do with equality and inequality. Some people like to be led by others. Most people with difficulty choosing like to have decision-making friends around them.
Equality means that when the leader goes against his will, he can say no to the leader without suffering bad luck.
The scholar touched the sweat on his forehead and nodded repeatedly. Suddenly, he tilted his head slightly and looked at Ying Chenglong carefully.
The Lord of Chang'an does not regard royal power as his priority, he cares about the people, sees suffering when he is among the people, and knows everything. Isn't this a perfect king?
"If you are the king of Chang'an..."
"Stop it!"
Ying Chengyu rubbed his temples on both sides of his forehead with a headache. Fu Sheng, the great scholar, didn't know how many people he had said this.
His knowledge is a double-edged sword, which can persuade Li Mu, Xunzi, Han Feizi, Fu Sheng and others to do things with him, and can also attract these people to make him king.
"The emperor's brother is dead and the world is in chaos.
"If I inherit the throne and unify the world again, will it be better than now?
"Not to mention the sharp decline in the number of people, I have reached that position and have absolutely no confidence in maintaining my original intention. When the time comes, the first thing I will do is to burn books and humiliate scholars."
"..."
Fu Sheng's eyes were dull.
There are hundreds of schools of thought, why should we specifically target Confucianism?
After being silent for a while, Fang said:
"...Chang'an Lord, let's talk about how to get rid of the nobles."
Finally convinced... Ying Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief, he was just waiting for Fu Sheng's words.
He will soon travel around the world on behalf of the First Emperor and will not stay in Korea.
In his blueprint, all basic activities to open up people's intelligence must be led by a trustworthy and important person to lead the implementation.
Taoists are not good at it. They rule by doing nothing. They only think about themselves when giving lectures. Students like to come or not, and they like to learn or not. Only by taking the initiative to ask them will they be able to answer their questions.
The famous ones can't do it, but those who are good at sophistry can do it as electives, but they can't do it as majors. The daimyo pointed to the white horse and said it was not a horse. It would be strange if ignorant students were not led astray.
Legalism is even worse. Before learning the law, you must first learn to be loyal to the king and learn to reject dissent. Dafa regards Confucianism as a way of disrupting the law with literature, and as a knight who uses force to violate the prohibition. It values nothing except the king and the law. It is led by Legalism.
The students are prone to flattery and cruel.
Originally, Ying Chengxuan was interested in scientists, but the Mohists never kept secrets, and never left any secrets in their teachings. He has been engaged in free education and poverty alleviation for so many years, and has a very high reputation among the people.
But the trip to Yiyang frightened Empress Yingcheng. The Moh family was too scary.
I thought that idealists like scientists would run into trouble in the chaotic Yiyang, but I didn't expect that the Mohist who saved the world was not the same as the Holy Mother. The scientists incorporated Yiyang with a more stringent order than Qin's laws.
If the Mohists take the lead, there may not be any trouble in the short term, but big problems will occur in the long run. Suppressing desires throughout your life and tempering yourself through a life of suffering is simply anti-human.
Only then did Ying Chengxuan have this impromptu trip to Nanyang, but he had no choice but to do it.
After all, Confucianism is more reliable when it comes to education.
And Fu Sheng, as a great Confucian who was chosen by him and shouldered the historical responsibility of enlightening the people's wisdom, must be of one heart and one mind with him.
The last piece of Han Di's puzzle has been put together, and now I can only do this.
The royal power that you are told cannot be controlled cannot be overturned for the time being, but it can be restricted. The Mohist family is part of the restriction. As for more restrictions, it depends on you, the person who enlightens the people's wisdom... Ying Chengyu looked at Fu deeply
Give birth.
When the people are enlightened, they will no longer be ignorant and will be difficult to bully.
"On meritocracy."
"On the day when officials were divided, the county governor had answered the examination questions and entered, so he could continue the examination. The person who finally covered his face and tested the disciples turned out to be Lord Chang'an."
"Yes, I will give you an official in Han in a few years. It has nothing to do with blood, but only with talent."
While Ying Chengyu was speaking, he had been carefully observing the attitude of the great scholar Fu Sheng.
Emphasis on talent alone, regardless of bloodline, is undoubtedly in conflict with Confucian ideals.
The Confucian philosophy that maintains society is that relatives are greater than friends, friends are greater than passers-by, and love can be divided into high and low levels.
Governing a country depends on relatives. If you can't even rely on your relatives, how can you trust friends who are not related by blood or even strangers?
Fu Sheng was thoughtful.
"Is this going to eliminate the aristocracy? If talented people hold high positions, won't they become new aristocrats?"
Seeing that Fu Sheng did not object to this statement that went against Confucian ideals, he continued to think about the question.
Ying Chengyu was very pleased and became more and more sure that he was looking for the right person and said:
"In Korea there are officials but no titles."
It is the title that can be inherited and ensure prosperity for generations.
"this……"
Fu Sheng originally wanted to say that this would lead to chaos, without a title, and if it touched the interests of the family, it would be counterattacked.
Then he thought that he was high on the throne and wanted all the people to follow the laws of Qin. He had just sent troops to kill the first emperor in Zhao, who was bleeding like a river, and it became clear.
"With His Majesty here, this can be done!
"But when you are an official, you are also a noble, and you will also be infected with the habits of the nobles. Not everyone is like Lord Chang'an, who can maintain his original intention and remain unmoved despite having great power."
As soon as he raised a new question, Fu Sheng convinced himself again.
"Yeah, but this is still much better than aristocratic families, rich and noble, but not glorious. Everyone in the world can be a dragon, good, great good!"
Fusheng's eyes shone.
"What you said is human nature.
"Human nature, I have looked at it for a long time, but I still can't do anything about it.
"I can only expel the nobles in the early stages to prevent the aristocratic habits from spreading. It will only last for a while."
Ying Chengyu turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked toward the door.
His figure was tall and his voice was clear, but the scholar who turned around to watch him leave could hear the deep helplessness hidden in his voice.
It’s not that Ying Chengyu didn’t work hard for this, Marxism-Leninism is the result of his efforts and is one of the anchors he left in this world.
Marxism-Leninism is dead, he killed it with his own hands.
"Manpower is sometimes exhausted. It is a great deed that Lord Chang'an can do so much and give hope to the world."
Da Ru shouted loudly.
Behind Ying Chengyu's invisible side, he bowed down and bowed to the end.
"I thank you, Lord Chang'an, for all the common people in the world."
As if there were eyes on his back, Ying Chengyu moved to avoid this bow.
"I'm just trying to keep my mouth shut. It's up to you to do it specifically. Whether you can break the monopoly of the aristocracy, you will be born in a great scholar, not in Chang'an."
"The Lord of Chang'an has not taught students yet, how can he teach the world."
The first two are the abolition of etiquette and the absence of nobility, which are restrictions on Confucianism.
In the end, teaching the world is the reward.
"Under the tea cup on the table, there is your answer. Remember, this is what you came up with, and it has nothing to do with me."
Ying Chengyu's figure had arrived outside, waved his hand, and left.
Why can't we speak frankly and talk to students?
Confused, Fu Sheng trotted to the table and eagerly picked up the teacup. Under the teacup was a piece of paper folded into a square.
With such a small piece of paper, it looks like just one piece of paper. Can I teach Confucianism to the world with the words on it?
Fu Sheng picked up the paper and frowned, suspecting that Ying Chengyu was drawing cakes for him. Since there was no way to fulfill his promise, he left a piece of paper and fled.
Although I didn't believe it in my heart, I still unfolded it carefully with my hands.
He guessed correctly, it was indeed a piece of paper.
The first thing that caught Fu Sheng's eyes were four characters that were larger than the other characters. They seemed to serve a general or summary function.
