Shenzi, one of the three sages of Legalism, was deeply influenced by Taoism although he was a Legalist. He followed Laozi's idea of great unity, respected "man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature."
"You must have clear laws and justice, and you must weigh the importance." .
The "shu" advocated by Shenzi is the exclusive property of the monarch, and is the method of controlling and driving his ministers. "Law" is public and is the code of conduct for the subjects, but "shu" is hidden in the heart of the monarch and is specially used to deal with ministers.
As Shenzi famously said: "The king is like the body, and the minister is like the hand."
Famous theories and methods include:
"The power of killing" requires the monarch to have the power of life and death, emphasizes the monarch's autocratic status in the national political power, and requires his subordinates to obey the monarch absolutely, that is, "respect the monarch and humble his ministers." The monarch must be arbitrary and firmly control the power of life and death.
In one's own hands, the power must not be left to others. Specific work can be left to the ministers, and the monarch does not have to do everything personally.
"Teaching the abilities of the ministers" means supervising, examining, and taking precautions against the ministers. After the monarch appoints his ministers, he naturally requires his ministers to be loyal to their duties, strictly abide by the laws, and prevent their ministers from usurping power and seizing the throne. This is to ensure the efficiency of administrative work.
An important means to maintain peace and order for the country and the people.
These two points are "yang techniques".
It is not enough to have "yang skills", there must also be "yin skills".
Because being a king is a great benefit to the world, everyone wants to take his place.
This is the saying "the emperor takes turns, come to my house today".
To put it simply, Shenzi recommended the centralized power of the monarch and advocated that the emperor should have the right way, and the method of the way is Shenzi's "skill"!
When Helian Tianye mentioned "Shenzi", Wu Xin and others could not help but think of relevant information about Shenzi, mainly the above.
Following Helian Tianye's line of sight, one can see that behind the ancient dilapidated ruins, there stands a huge statue, with a high crown, a Confucian robe, a scroll in hand, and sharp eyes looking in all directions. It is exactly the image of the French Saint Shen Buhai recorded in ancient books.
Shen Buhai, also known as Shenzi, was one of the hundred schools of thought in ancient times.
The scholars mentioned in the rumors are not only because of their thoughts, academic sects and lofty reputations, etc., each "zi" is also a great monk who is at the top of the world, a powerful person, possessing great wisdom, great perseverance and great strength.
, just in terms of cultivation realm, it is basically the Sanxian Void Realm...the final state of the Sanxian Realm.
History is difficult to verify, and time is ruthless. As hundreds of scholars disappeared one after another, there were different opinions. Some said they ascended to immortality, some said they lived in seclusion, some said they were reincarnated, some said they died in various ways, etc.
.
One thing in common is that if a cemetery of hundreds of scholars is found in the world, this cemetery will be called... a holy tomb!
This is recognition and affirmation of hundreds of scholars, a high praise, and a reminder!
Holy tomb, tomb of a saint, who wants to have their own grave dug up and robbed? The danger can be imagined!
"Is there really a holy tomb? Isn't this the Karen Ghost Forest?"
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was quite solemn and depressing. Xu Chu was more nervous, so he couldn't help but wonder.
Although Xu Chu did not read much, it does not mean that he was ignorant. Just by protecting Emperor Li for a long time in the past few years, he knew a lot of secrets and information.
Helian Tianye did not answer but asked: "You must have heard of the origin of the Vast Sea Wasteland, right?"
Wu Xin and others nodded slightly in unison. Isn't it just an ancient war that shattered the earth and turned the world into a vast wasteland?
This is not a big secret. It is widely circulated, but few take it seriously!
At this moment, Ancestor Zhaixing, the Sanxian-level high priest of the temples in the wasteland, suddenly interjected: "According to the temple records and rumors, each forbidden place in the wasteland represents one or several holy tombs. As for the forbidden places,
It is essentially an ancient battlefield. This has been proven for a long time. It is indeed true! Even the Holy Tomb has vague written records. The core inheritance of the major temples comes from the Holy Tomb..."
"Ah?!" Wu Xin, Zhou Yu and others were stunned and couldn't react for a moment.
However, everyone did not doubt the words of the Star Reaching Ancestor. After all, no one would lie about the core inheritance of the sect, just like misidentifying their ancestors. With the power, strength and identity of the temples and the Star Reaching Ancestor, there was no need.
!
"This... is... the... holy... tomb... retreat... otherwise... you will... die..."
At this moment, everyone inexplicably heard a vague warning sound.
This meaning rang directly in everyone's mind without any sound. Coupled with the ethereal and dark environment, it gave people the feeling of being in hell and having nightmares. It was heart-stopping!
Suddenly, a bone-chilling cold wind came, making many people tremble involuntarily, adding to the mysterious and eerie feeling of fear!
The vast majority of people present instantly showed fear and worry on their faces, and most of them looked at each other with the intention of retreating.
"Eh?!"
Wu Xin let out a soft sigh, his eyes revealed a strange light, and he looked somewhere deep in the ancient ruins...
Eye of Samsara!
Wu Xin, like everyone else, also felt the cold wind. However, the characteristics of the "Eye of Reincarnation" made Wu Xin know something different. The cold wind was a cold wind, but it clearly contained murderous intent.
If a golden finger is used to describe time travellers, then Wu Xin believes that his biggest golden finger is the eye of reincarnation and the familiarity of history in the memory of past lives. At least, it is okay to know the personalities, abilities, origins, etc. of each historical genius in advance.
Think of it as a prophet of information!
If you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger!
"What's the matter? Young Master?" Dugu Jialuo knew Wu Xin well and knew that there were not many things that could shake Wu Xin's confidence, so he couldn't help but ask first.
"Are there any gravekeepers at the Holy Sepulchre?"
Wu Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at the ancestors of Star Reaching, Hanshan Bear King, Frost Ancestor, Helian Tianye and other wasteland representatives and asked. He paused for a moment, and without waiting for their replies, he continued in a definite tone:
"I sense the cold murderous intention!"
Lu Bujun's face turned pale, he looked around in fear and exclaimed: "Ah? Are there really ghosts in the world?"
The majestic God of War fights against the sky, the earth, and the air, and he is fearless.
Who knew that Lu Bu was afraid of ghosts...a thing that doesn't even exist in reality?!
Wu Xin shook his head and retorted: "It shouldn't be... this thing has spirit, wisdom, good and evil, and... even if it is not a living person, it should be a strange beast or a psychic puppet!"
Because the moment Wu Xin said it, the murderous intention clearly shifted and became much more concealed.
"Gravekeeper?!"
The Star Reaching Ancestor murmured thoughtfully, shook his head and replied:
"I know that one of the top ten forbidden areas, the 'God Burial Mountain Range', really has tomb guards. The wasteland forbidden area is obviously a lower level, but I haven't heard of it. However, every forbidden area or holy tomb is extremely dangerous. This is
A sure thing!”
Zhou Yu shook his head and reminded: "Absolutely not! We have already broken into the Holy Tomb. If there were tombkeepers, they would have appeared long ago. After all, guarding the tomb is their responsibility, destiny and mission..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yu paused, as if he had thought of something, and murmured doubtfully: "This is not right! Apart from the ghosts before, I haven't seen many dangerous things along the way, which is inconsistent with the concept of forbidden areas..."
"The person my emperor is talking about is obviously intelligent, so it's not that he doesn't appear, but that he doesn't dare or has no confidence to appear!"
Dugu Jialuo smiled, his pretty face obviously relaxed, and continued Zhou Yu's words. After a pause, he continued:
"Although we are the generals of the defeated army, our strength is extraordinary. Even if the enemy army comes in full force, we can be sure to pursue them, let alone the ghost forest? Don't forget, it's not just us, there are countless enemy troops outside the forest.
