The first thousand two hundred and one chapters of the great world of change! (2)
Tian Sheng stood on the stage, faced the microphone, and said: "The great road is simplicity, and simplicity is the yin and yang!"
This is nothing special, but...
Huang Lao Shang Yang, Lao Zhuang Cai Shang Yin.@中文@Novel w..
This is also the best way to distinguish between Huang Lao and Lao Zhuang.
Huang Lao Shang Yang, so most Huang Lao scholars, no matter how long they stay at home, will eventually join the world and practice Taoism.
As for Lao Zhuang Shang Yin, no matter how many years he spends in the mortal world, he will eventually return to the mountains and forests to cultivate himself, and eventually become an immortal.
From this aspect, in fact, Taoism in later generations should have evolved from Lao and Zhuang.
As for Huang-Lao's thoughts, some are attributed to Confucianism, some are dispersed in Taoism, and some have become Feng Shui masters and fortune tellers who go around cheating and cheating.
"The great road is complicated, and the complicated ones are based on the Four Symbols, Bagua and Five Elements!" Tian Sheng raised his voice slightly: "What are the Four Symbols? Southeast, Southeast, Northwest, the four directions of the earth! Blue dragon and white tiger, Suzaku Xuanwu, the residence of the four palaces! Spring, summer, autumn and winter. , Shaoyang and Laoyang, Shaoyin and Laoyin, the four seasons of the law! To people, it is said: Shaoyang and Taiyang, Shaoyin and Taiyin, are the attributes of the meridians!"
"As for the Eight Diagrams, it says: Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui, Fa Jiugong, to take a shortcut!"
"The five elements are: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the law is benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and kindness..."
When it comes to this, it is actually some commonplace talk, of course, it also has some meaning.
At least, Liu Che heard it.
This thing is based on Huang-Lao's thought, which combines the concepts of Yin-Yang and Confucianism.
The Theory of Five Elements is obviously a copy of the Confucian theory of virtue, which is the knowledge of Mr. Shishuo.
Different from the past, today, the printing industry is developed, so even if the classics of hundreds of schools of thought, no matter how remote, are printed, they can be given away even if they cannot be sold!
The love of books has been a traditional virtue of Chinese scholar-officials since ancient times.
Six years ago, if someone gave a set of books to a friend or guest, it would immediately arouse people's feelings.
At that time, even popular books like The Analects of Confucius could only exist in a thousand sets at most.
Moreover, most of them have errors and defects.
But now...
The number of copies of The Analects of Confucius in existence has exceeded 100,000.
Moreover, it has been proofread by several national treasure-level Confucian scholars, as well as the original version of the Analects collected by the Kong family and the Yan family and the version of the Analects collected by Shiqu Pavilion for reference, making it an almost perfectly restored version...
As for the current book "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" with the largest number of copies in existence, the official printing volume alone has reached a terrifying 250,000 sets. As for the number of privately printed or handwritten copies, it is impossible to count.
Shishuo's works and thoughts are indeed very unknown.
But at that time, Liu Che used the guise of establishing sacrifices for the sages and collected the works of sages from hundreds of schools of thought.
Among them is the "Five Elements" presented by Shishuo's descendants.
Then, Liu Che printed hundreds of copies and placed them in the library in Maoling for the scholars and people to borrow or buy.
Not long ago, Liu Che received a report from Maoling: many books in stock have been exhausted, and they requested more copies.
And this Shishuo's Five Elements is one of them.
Who would read the works of this disciple of Confucius, who has always had a low reputation among Confucianists?
Liu Che was a little curious, and then realized that there were so many people interested!
Not just the various factions of Confucianism.
Huang Lao, Legalists, Zakers, and even Mohists all borrowed or even bought "Five Elements".
Maoling’s collection of books is not cheap!
A set often costs ten gold, and there are restrictions on status.
Of course, it is normal for various schools of thought to be interested in Shishuo.
Although the general public does not know much about this disciple of Confucius.
But how could the giant of all schools of thought not know that he was the bridge between the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius?
Now, Tian Sheng takes Confucian sayings and puts them into his own thoughts.
Although some of the styles are slightly wrong.
However, this is the real normal exchange between various schools of thought.
Put good things into your own bag without hesitation.
Bad things, throw them away!
However, Tian Sheng's next sentence silenced the entire audience and made Liu Che jump in fright.
He looked at the entire venue, first took a deep breath, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he held his head high and said, "Huang Lao is doing nothing. Inaction is the yin and yang. Because the great way leads to simplicity, simplicity follows the trend!"
"Do nothing, the Four Symbols, Eight Diagrams and Five Elements. Because the Great Dao is so complex, it affects all things in the world and the stars in the universe, so you should do everything!"
"Therefore, the people are united with the king, Yin and Yang! This is the most simple way!"
"But things are determined by the Dharma, the Four Symbols, Eight Diagrams and Five Elements! This is the most complicated way!"
After Liu Che heard this, he immediately jumped up in fright!
the reason is simple.
This is prudent knowledge...
But in the hands of Tian Sheng, it has evolved to a more advanced, more systematic, and more convincing stage!
Combine the Yin and Yang, Four Symbols, Bagua and Five Elements with Shen Dao's thoughts.
This directly gave birth to a new school of thought.
Liu Che didn't know what the name of this school of thought should be.
But, you can be sure that this will be a brand-new school of thought that can revitalize the Huang-Lao School!
the reason is simple.
Shen Dao was not only a sage of the Huang-Lao School, but also the founder of Legalism.
The three elements of Legalism are law, technique and momentum.
This trend is something that should be advocated with caution.
At the same time, Shen Dao was also the mainstay of the worldly school of Huang-Lao School and the founder of the omnipotent thought.
in addition……
The people are united with the king, and all matters are decided by the law. This sentence sounds very familiar, right?
At that time, Zhang Shizhi prevented Emperor Taizong Xiaowen from going to sentence the people who frightened his carriage according to his own temper, and went to punish the thief who stole the utensils from Liu Bang's high temple. The excuse he used was: The law is enough!
The Dharma is so sufficient!
This means: if a prince breaks the law, the common people will be punished with the same crime! If the common people violate the law, they will be punished with the same punishment as the prince.
Before the law, there is no distinction between high and low, nobles and common people.
If you break the law, it is a crime!
Once the law is established, it cannot be disrespected!
There is no level of punishment, and there is no hierarchy in law!
At the same time, in Shen Dao's thinking, shi is the highest level of political concept, and etiquette and law have to give way to shi.
From this, another thought of the Huang-Lao School, Qiwu, was derived.
What is Qiwu talking about?
It sounds complicated, but it can be summed up in one sentence that everyone can understand: everyone is equal before the law!
This fundamentally denies the Confucian concept of heaven, earth, king, and teacher, and completely destroys the concept of "a born saint who acts as king and teacher."
However, this series of thoughts is too profound and difficult to understand.
In practice, we will encounter countless difficulties and obstacles.
For example, if Liu Che breaks the law, this theory will immediately fall into a terrible paradox.
Because the emperor cannot make mistakes!
What if it’s wrong!
That must be a problem with the world!
This has led to the decline of Shenzhen thought and the rise of Lao-Zhuang, Yin-Song schools since the rise of Han Dynasty.
Needless to say, Lao and Zhuang, but this Yin-Song school belongs to the main faction of Huang Lao's current worldly sect.
The emphasis is on: benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, music, fame, law, punishment, and rewards, which are a mixture of some of the thoughts of famous and miscellaneous families. It is similar to a tinker who makes up for things when they happen.
As long as the people's livelihood is stable, the world will be peaceful.
That's it.
After all, what the Yin-Song School pursues is forgiveness and tolerance, which is where the Huang-Lao School is currently in trouble.
Because what the Yin-Song School is most opposed to is war.
But today the main theme of the world is expansion and war.
In addition, the Yin-Song school also advocates that as long as things are done well, it is enough, and the fewer things, the better.
Relatively passive, relatively passive, and increasingly unable to adapt to the development of the times.
The entire Huang-Lao school is lazy.
As long as it is not urgent, I will never want to move, and as long as it is not absolutely necessary, I will never accept a disciple.
But now, Tian Sheng has solved the two biggest problems of the Huang Lao Sect at once.
The first one is to replace the Yin-Song School of thought with Shen Dao thought.
Replace forgiveness and tolerance with noble power.
Replace negativity with positivity.
Replace the use of the law with respect for the law and advocating the law.
And secondly, Tian Sheng very cleverly combined the advantages of Confucianism, improved Shen Dao's ideas, and compromised, using "the great road to simplicity" so that the people are united with the king, and everything in the world must respect the emperor and obey the emperor.
The will and command of the people, and because of the "great way is the most complicated", the matter is determined by the law.
The prince breaks the law and is as guilty as the common people!
Potential is the highest benchmark and reference.
and……
the most important is……
If it is explained in this way, then many of the shortcomings of the Huang-Lao School's thoughts, which are profound, difficult to understand, and difficult to comprehend, will be overcome.
Because the Dao is extremely simple, there is no need to make it too complicated at first. You only need to tell the students and disciples the basic characteristics and basic principles.
And Tian Sheng has already stated the principle.
Confucian theory of virtue, benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and kindness.
Perfect!
Spend money!
And in another aspect.
Liu Che could see what Tian Sheng's group might eventually do...
Constitution?
Constitutional monarchy?
A smile overflowed from the corner of Liu Che's mouth, and he said in his heart: "Interesting... it really opened my eyes!"
The smartest thing Tian Sheng did was that he circumvented all the red lines and bottom lines set by Liu Che, and said within the rules of the game that the people are more important than the king.
Yes, none of his remarks contain these four words.
However, everyone who listened to his speech and thought about it carefully will definitely be able to think of words such as "the people are more important than the king" or "the law is sufficient".
smart!
Liu Che couldn't help but applaud.
The emperor applauded, how could others remain indifferent.
Then, there was thunderous applause.
The entire venue stood up and gave warm applause to witness the revival of the Huang-Lao School!
From then on, it became a tradition for everyone to applaud when someone gave an excellent speech at a Shiquge meeting, or when something was passed.
but……
At this moment, in private, there is an undercurrent surging.
There was a lot of discussion among the various schools of thought.
"What a powerful enemy..." Dong Zhongshu looked at Tian Sheng who was younger than himself on the stage and said, "Just like Jia Sheng back then... I hope you have not fallen into internal strife..."
At that time, Jia Yi and Jia Changsha never fell down in the debate field, nor did they lose any court discussions.
But he fell into all kinds of attacks and slanders.
Hu Wusheng also felt sorry for Tian Sheng.
If Tian Sheng were twenty years older and dormant for another twenty years, with his supreme prestige and high reputation, it would indeed be possible to integrate the entire Huang-Lao sect and lead the entire Huang-Lao thought to be reborn from the ashes.
but now……
He is too young and too impatient.
If the sharp edge is too exposed, the tree will show off in the forest!
And the giants of Legalism were also whispering among themselves.
"Good! Tian Shengzi is worthy of Tianzi!" Zhang Hui praised him with great affection.
Huang-Lao thought and Legalist thought are actually the two closest factions.
Many of the ideas of Legalism can be traced back to Huang-Lao's thought.
Some of Huang Lao's thoughts and behaviors were also influenced by Legalism.
To this day, classics such as "Guan Zhong" and "Shen Zi" are still respected by both schools.
In addition, the sages of Legalism basically all had a Huang-Lao sect teacher or someone who was a Huang-Lao sect himself.
This allowed today's Huang-Lao Sect and Legalists to form an alliance.
Because, compared to Confucianism, Mohism, Huang-Lao School and Legalism, they are truly a match made in heaven!
However, if the ally is too strong.
Not very good either!
If Huang-Lao thought is revived and sweeps the world again, what will happen to Legalism?
Therefore, many legalist giants have some evil intentions in their eyes.
For Legalists, the result is the most important, not the process.
If they can enrich the country and strengthen the army, then they will dare to implement no matter how cruel or cruel the policy is.
At the same time, if you can defeat the enemy, you will achieve your own victory.
That is also called despicable and shameless, and morally bankrupt.
In order to kill their political opponents, Legalist ministers would do anything they could!
In terms of academics, although they are a little more reserved, they are definitely not gentlemen!
Just like when Li Si framed Han Fei, he was framed up and justified.
On the other side, the Zajia School, the Han Shi School, the Simeng School, and the Chongmin School were all talking about it.
Some people think that they should communicate with Tian Sheng and form a good relationship.
Some people looked at Tian Sheng and were ecstatic, feeling that they had met a soulmate.
Some people even gnashed their teeth and felt resentful.
As for the Huanglao School itself, it is even more complicated.
They sent Tian Sheng, who was actually treating a dead horse as a live doctor.
Because nowadays, among the Huang-Lao sect, there are too few people who want to find someone who can give a speech on stage without making people jump, and at the same time, it will not turn into a hypnotic speech.
Moreover, no matter how good the speech is, I am afraid it is just repeating the same old tune.
In contrast, Tian Sheng, who came from the Jixia Academy of Qi State and was unanimously praised and praised by Qi Huang elders, became the only choice.
Today, Tian Sheng is indeed playing perfectly.
Let the emperor applaud and praise him.
The two queen mothers even stood up to express their appreciation.
But the problem is that the knowledge of Shen Dao and Tian Pian is two different concepts from the Yin-Song school or the Lao-Zhuang school that they are familiar with.
This is a bit confusing.
However, the giants, especially the real giants headed by Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo, all know that this is the future of Huang Lao!
Therefore, several giants warned the following: "Anyone who dares to criticize and attack Wutian Sheng will become our enemy!"
Every one of the giants of the Huang Lao School knows that things cannot change now.
If there is no change, Mr. Huang will be left behind by Confucianism and Legalism, and even the Mohist and Zajia families will sit on his head and piss on him!

I have a cold today and am feeling dizzy~
In addition, this chapter was really difficult to write. I wrote from morning to night, and I managed to write this chapter to my satisfaction ~ (To be continued.)
