Two hundred and thirtieth eight chapters tongue wars
Ever since Zhao Kuo commented on the theories of hundreds of schools of thought and "provoked" them to come to debate, everything seemed to be exploding.
At this moment, Zhao State's influence is no longer limited to Zhao State as before. His influence has covered the seven countries. Especially after the circulation of Ma Fu Shu, his every word and deed can have a huge impact.
, he casually commented on many schools of thought in the classroom, with a hint of contempt for hundreds of schools of thought. This of course made the scholars who had already questioned his theory even more angry, and drove to Zhao Kingdom one after another.
As for these scholars, the monarchs of various countries ordered their officials to escort them and provide them with accommodation.
When a large number of scholars rushed to Zhao from various countries, a considerable number of scholars met on the road. When Mohism met Confucianism, when famous scholars met Confucianism, and when Taoism met Confucianism, they would all quarrel.
, To be precise, Confucianism will quarrel no matter what school it encounters, and even Confucianism will quarrel when it encounters Confucianism. Naturally, the largest number of scholars are in Qi State.
When scholars from Qi State rushed to Zhao State one after another, these people who hated each other inevitably rested in the same place and traveled together. As a result, the officials along the road saw this scene that surprised them.
, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts were moving forward slowly, while the people on the cars were debating with each other. Sometimes it was several people fighting against one person, and sometimes it was a group of people fighting against a group of people.
"Ma Fujun is right. I heard that when governing a country, the people must be the most important and the people are the foundation. If the monarch loses the support of the people, then he himself is not as good as a slave. For the monarch, the position of the monarch is
The power brought by him must also be urged to carry out his obligations..."
"Nonsense!!"? "The king should implement benevolent government? But how can you say that the people are above the king? This is like you saying, "The status of a son is higher than that of a father. How can the people treat the king?
Like a son treating his father? He should be respectful and loving. The father has made mistakes? The son can remind him, but how can he hate his father because of it? "
"Ha! We don't want to participate in the internal disputes of Confucianism? But you mentioned the king and the people, so I have to speak up. I...I support Meng's Confucianism! Xunzi once divided the king and the people into
Relationships are compared to water and boats, not fathers and sons...What do we mean by no kindness? Derespect? Just like Mencius' Confucianism, the king and the people are equal, each has his own obligations, and the people have to farm,
The king wants to rule the country!"
"Their relationship is not that of father and son, but that of equal friends, helping each other, and supporting each other!"
"Shut up, famous people! What does it have to do with you that Confucianists are debating scriptures here? Is it because everyone in the world ignores such a relationship of superiority and inferiority? Just now there are rebels and rebels, regicides and father-killings? These mistakes are all because of you.
Celebrity!"
"I think he is right? People in the world love each other. You talk about benevolent government, but you want the people to serve the monarch like slaves. The benevolent government you talk about is the charity of the king? What we call benevolent government is the love of everyone in the world.
,The monarch loves the people, and the people love the monarch..."
"Absurd!! Absolutely ridiculous!!"
The officials watched this scene, and saw that the old men were so quarrelsome that they almost grabbed each other's beards and started to fight. They had a great time watching this scene. They could also brag to their friends in the future. They had also seen the great things in the world.
During this quarrel, everyone was getting closer and closer to the State of Zhao. The roads were crowded with horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, and they were filled with scholars.
And the contradiction was brought to its climax.
"Qi Mo wears such luxurious clothes, has he forgotten Mozi's philosophy?!"
"Qin Mo, who helped Zhou to do evil, how could he have the dignity to mention Mozi's philosophy?"
"You don't have to argue. Qi Mo did not usurp Qin Mo's interests, and Qin Mo did not do anything to harm Qi Mo. I heard that the two do not interfere with each other, and the two do not interfere with each other. Through the self-improvement of individuals, society can be achieved.
Overall harmony...."
"Oh? I thought that the scholars of Yang Zhu's theory were still living alone in some deep mountain and old forest, so why did they come to see Ma Fujun? The so-called two parties do not interfere with each other, why can't you do it yourself? I think you can do it.
Hide in the deep mountains and don’t disturb Mr. Ma Fu.”
When scholars from various countries and factions collided, the scene was very interesting. On this road, the Mohists were the first to quarrel. The relationship between the three factions of the Mohists was the worst. Qin Mo and Chu Mo felt that
Qi Mo no longer maintains a simple life. Qi Mo and Chu Mo feel that Qin Mo is helping the emperor to commit evil. Qin Mo and Qi Mo feel that Chu Mo is acting recklessly. Although Confucianism has many factions and great disputes, they will not fight like Mohism.
.
Especially after an ox-cart from Chu appeared in the rear, the Confucian scholars whispered and hurriedly stopped their quarrel.
Sitting on the oxcart was an old man who was full of charm. His snow-white hair and beard made him look like a mortal. When Xun Kuang appeared here, the Confucian scholars were stunned. They talked about this with each other.
It was hard to tell whether the news was true or not, so he immediately turned around and went to see the sage. The Confucian scholars surrounded the place, and everyone got off the cart and saluted the cart.
Xunzi squinted his eyes and looked at the people in front of him.
"Which sect of cheap Confucianism are the second and third sons?" he asked. Everyone lowered their heads, their faces were red, but they were speechless. Only the Confucian scholar of Xunzi who came with Xunzi raised his head high at this moment.
, looked down upon the Confucianists in front of them, and the Confucianists had no way to reprimand them. Who said they had no living sages? Although Xunzi was not from the same school of thought as them, and was not even very popular, he was still recognized as a living sage of Confucianism.
Xunzi once scolded all the factions of Confucianism, and even his own faction was not left behind. He was a thoroughly ruthless person. After the Confucian scholars introduced him, Xunzi nodded, but he did not speak.
They just let the Confucian scholars continue on their way. The Confucian scholars did not dare to be as rude as before, and saw the Confucian scholar of the Qidiao family who had made the most quarrel just now gently making way for the Confucian scholar of the Meng family.
The most irritable Zixia Zhiru looked like a gentle sheep, walking beside Xunzi with a smile on his face.
Just now, he had scolded the Confucians of the Xun family as beasts and the Confucians of the Meng family. Now he was talking about Xunzi's theory with a smile and couldn't help but admire it.
The Confucian scholars quickly united, and the many schools of thought in the front suddenly felt something was wrong when they saw the many Confucian schools in the rear who seemed to have become like brothers. Something must have happened, so there was a
Qi Mo slowed down, drove in front of the Confucian scholars, and said loudly: "The Mohists need to keep their heads down and rush to find the most suitable road to reach Zhao State, while the Confucian scholars just look at those walking in front of them.
People, follow their footsteps.”
"Instead of accumulating the experience of the predecessors, they only know how to charge forward arrogantly, and in the end fall off the cliff. It is people like Mo Zhe who can continuously accumulate experience, through learning, and follow the path left by the predecessors.
Those who keep groping are people like Confucians!" Suddenly someone said from behind Mo Zhe, Qi Mo ordered the driver to stop, and then looked back angrily.
He saw those Confucian scholars looking at him arrogantly, and unanimously moved out of the way, allowing him to see the person who spoke, an old man sitting on a bullock cart. The old man was staring at him, and suddenly said: "It turns out that Mo
Do you also understand the principle of stopping and looking behind you?" Mo Zhe was shocked and looked at the old Confucian seriously. After looking at the old Confucian for a moment, his face changed drastically, "Xunzi..."
Seeing Qi Mo running away, the Confucian scholars laughed, and they were immediately full of confidence. With Xunzi sitting in charge, let's see who dares to offend us Confucian scholars?
Soon, the news of Xunzi's arrival was spread to the ears of the scholars in front. They were all a little surprised. Didn't they say that Xunzi was in the state of Chu? How could he appear here? However, it is best to leave quickly.
, don’t provoke that old man... This is not fear, this is respect, well, it is respect.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo looked at the more than thirty people in front of him. Most of these people were from the Yan Kingdom, including Taoists, famous scholars, Confucianists, and even doctors. Zhao Kuo was not rude, even though most of them were from the Yan Kingdom.
Everyone came to Mafu Township aggressively, but he still respectfully invited these people to the courtyard, had a meal with them, and chatted about home affairs. Zhao Kuo's attitude made those people want to be held accountable.
No words can be said.
After they had rested for two days, Zhao Kuo welcomed them into the classroom.
Zou Yan, Gongsun Long, and Zhan also came here. However, when Gongsun Long met Zou Yan, he always lowered his head and was unwilling to speak to him. Zou Yan started chatting with Zhan, and the two actually still chatted.
Later, Zhan believed that the weather was an important condition for farming. Zou Yan also believed that the weather affected everything... When these people sat down, Zhao Kuo started to debate with them.
The first person to speak was the Taoist from the State of Yan. He was an old man. It is said that he and the current Prime Minister of the State of Qin were very good friends. He raised his head and said with emotion: "You have commented on all the schools of thought, but...
The only thing they didn’t talk about was Taoism, I don’t know why?”
"May I ask who you are?"
"Only happiness can be achieved through equality recognized by the people. People want a society without the burden of corvées, rents, and taxes. The princes exploit the people and do not give them the equality they want. If there are no rulers, perhaps the people can get real happiness..."
As soon as this person opened his mouth, Zhao Kuo knew what school he belonged to. Of course, there are many factions within Taoism. This person obviously belonged to one of the Lao-Zhuang doctrines, which was called the heresy of "no king and no father."
The "beast".
Zhao Kuo listened carefully to his talk about the equal relationship between people and the development based on the cognition of equality. Gongsun Long looked at him thoughtfully. Gongsun Long also talked about equality, but the equality he talked about was far from this.
The one who is thorough, this one is pursuing a society without rulers... The more Zhao Kuo listened, the more surprised he became. Is this to overthrow the exploiting class? Just as Mohists are not just craftsmen, Taoists are not all escapists. They also have their own pursuits and have
own opinion.
Zhao Kuo said with some surprise: "I think you are right, but it is very difficult to achieve this. You have ignored one of the most important issues. If you want to achieve equality, does it mean that there is equality without a monarch?"
? People’s wealth is different, and their knowledge is different. If you want to let the people make their own decisions, then at least you need to let the people have knowledge and promote universal education..."
"You cannot ignore social productivity...but what you said will definitely be realized after a long, long time..."
Zhao Kuo spoke seriously, which surprised the Taoist scholar because he was used to verbal abuse and his teachings were very unpopular, even more unpopular than famous scholars. Confucian scholars met them
, it must have been a fight. Even the Confucian scholars who came from Yan State also refused to talk to them after knowing his identity, thinking that humans and animals cannot talk.
He did not expect that Zhao Kuo would actually recognize his idea and even seriously analyze the possibilities for him.
This Taoist scholar seemed to understand why Ma Fujun was so respected. He started chatting with Zhao Kuo on the two issues of everyone being equal and the people having no monarch. Zhao Kuo just felt that the doctrines of this era
It's too advanced... It's really too advanced. No wonder these doctrines disappeared in later generations. Complete books can't even be found, and they will be burned... Zhao Kuo felt that if he were a feudal monarch, he would definitely kill him.
These people destroy these terrible doctrines.
Before the Taoist finished speaking, the Confucian scholar beside him couldn't sit still and sat directly next to him, looking at Zhao Kuo and ignoring the Taoist scholar.
"I heard that humans have human speech and animals have speech. The two are different. Why can't I understand a word of what you just talked about with him?"
"Then you have to study human language carefully. You only master the language of animals. How can you understand human speech?" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile. The Confucian sneered and said: "There is no monarch in the world, so it must be
It will cause greater harm. This is not a doctrine, not even the doctrine of Lao and Zhuang. What I know of Lao and Zhuang is to let nature take its course and do nothing, but it does not mean that there is no king or father."
"What he calls no king is someone who does not oppress the people. The people can elect suitable people themselves. Of course, you are right. Nowadays, this will only lead to disaster... More than the doctrine of an era itself, it has
The future is of great significance, but not the present."
The Confucian scholar no longer dwelled on this point, and he said: "I heard that you proposed the theory of one king over the world, saying that this theory can save people in the world. Then I want to ask you, how can you forcibly separate different countries and different people?
Is it possible to drive them together and let them put aside their hatred and live in harmony? Take your favorite state of Qin as an example. In order to annex other countries, Qin killed many people. These people will
Will you let go of your hatred if you recognize Qin?"
"After one king in the world, Qin will be busy quelling rebellions in various places, because what you said is not a way to stop the war at all. If you really want to stop the war, you need to let Emperor Zhou re-establish his prestige and let all countries gather around him.
If anyone around the emperor dares to attack other countries, the emperor of Zhou can send troops to punish him..." The Confucian scholar also talked about his own method of saving the world.
"According to what you said, there suddenly came a virtuous Emperor of Zhou. He made the Zhou royal family strong and suppressed all the countries. The countries accepted the orders of the Emperor again. Then I ask you, after the death of Emperor Zhou, when will
When the Zhou royal family declines, will the princes compete for hegemony and annex again? Is this the way to end the war? Not to mention whether the weak Zhou royal family can achieve this."
"And the method I mentioned is that all officials are appointed by the king. After one king, the people will be given the opportunity to recuperate and recuperate. You said that all countries will not let go of their hatred. Qin's Nanyang, Nanjun, and many other places,
It was originally the land of various countries and was later occupied by the Qin State. But are the people living here now Qin people? Is there still hatred? After the Zhao State conquered Zhongshan, will the people of Zhongshan want to recover?
Where is the country?”
Zhao Kuo discussed it seriously with the Confucian scholars, and Han Fei also speeded up the recording.
The scholars around listened to their remarks, either nodding, shaking their heads, talking, or thinking.
The sparks of a different thought burned on this land again.
ps: Wow, I suspect that I drank fake wine and got all kinds of nausea..
