Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 107 Mobile Blood Pack

Confucianism has always been a prominent school since its founding, and although it has always had opponents, Confucianism is the oldest player at the Zhuxia culture's card table.

His initial opponents, Yang Zhu and the Mohists, were kicked out of the poker table by the first emperor in the Qin Dynasty. The most powerful poker players in this period were the Legalists who were separated from Confucianism.

The patriarch of Legalism was Zichan in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was the originator of Legalism. He was the source of Legalism. The actual founders were Li Kui, Shang Yang, Shen Dao, Shen Buhai and others in the early Warring States period. Human beings established the three schools of Legalism: Shu, Fa, and Shi.

Shang Yang's law, Shen Dao's power, and Shen Buhai's technique are the orthodox ones, and the three parties are in conflict.

Among the three schools of Legalism, Shen Dao is special. He has never personally presided over the great cause of political reform in a country. He once gave lectures in the Jixia Academy in his country. He first learned Taoism and later learned Legalism.Mr. Shen Dao said that if the country wants to reform and become stronger, it must first respect the authority of the monarch. At the same time, when the monarch improves his own power, he must also improve the status of the gentry. After all, the country cannot be governed entirely by the monarch alone.The power to be cautious is to respect the emperor. Only by increasing the power and influence of the monarch can we take advantage of it. If the monarch himself is not strong, how can he convince his subjects?
Shen Buhai's art, what is art, is the art of mind, the method used by the emperor to control the courtiers. Shen Buhai was originally a lowly official in Zheng State. He then met with Han Zhaohou and explained it. Zhaohou was very happy to hear that and worshiped Shen Buhui as the country's prime minister to preside over the Korean reform.The so-called art is to teach the monarch some methods, so that it is difficult for the subordinates and close servants to guess his thoughts, so as to rectify the officials.

This is the most proficient trick played by the emperors of later generations. To put it bluntly, it is playing with the balance beam. An emperor who has no power and influence likes this kind of thing, because only in this way can he control his subjects. .

Shang Yang's law, what is a decree, a law is an iron law. Once it is established, even the king cannot disobey it. Everything in the whole country must be done in accordance with the law.After Shang Yang explained his method of governing the country to Qin Xiaogong, Qin Gong Da Yue entrusted Shang Yang with full authority to carry out the reform of the Qin State. At that time, the prince violated the law when he was young. A thorn in the face, since then no one dared to fight against Qin's new law.

And Shang Yang has become synonymous with Legalism for a long time after the reform of Qin State. He is recognized as the number one leader of Legalism. The reason is very simple. Is Qin State the strongest? Naturally, Shang Yang's faction is the strongest.

The law at this time was Shang Yang.

At this time, Confucius and Mencius were among the Confucian leaders.Still advocating ritual, music, benevolence and justice, advocating the doctrine of the mean of loyalty, forgiveness and impartiality, and advocating the rule of virtue and benevolent government, the result is that Confucianism, one of the largest schools of thought, has fallen into an embarrassing situation, with a large number of students and no one who can strengthen the country. There are too many students, but no one can lead soldiers, and there are too many students, but no one can make weapons.

They can't beat the Legalists, Mohists, and Military Strategists at all.

From the perspective of Legalists and Mohists, Confucianism is their own mobile blood bag. If there is a shortage of manpower, then go to Confucianism to poach the wall. Confucianism has produced elites. Thank you for your cultivation. Come find me again.

From the perspective of military strategists, are you all good at fighting when I go? Are you interested in coming to play with us? Don’t be afraid, grab your weapon and rush forward with us. Well, you are now a qualified member of the military strategist.

That's it. The mobile big blood bag of the various schools of thought in the Warring States period was synonymous with Confucianism in this period. If there is no one, go to Confucianism. There are many of them, and they are all elites. The six arts of gentlemen established by Confucius for Confucian disciples , He believes that the ones cultivated are gentlemen, but in the eyes of all schools of thought, this is a wild junior trumpet, a wild big boss reserve, pull it over, practice it, and then it will be ours.

This situation continued until the appearance of Xunzi. After the fundamentalist Confucian school and the Mencius school who insisted on the theory of good nature were unable to let Confucianism get rid of its identity as a mobile big blood bag, Xunzi developed the theory of evil nature and made up for Confucianism. The missing piece.

It was a very good thing, the Confucian faction was in the middle to reconcile, the Mencius faction came out in peaceful times, educated the common people, made the country strong, and the Xunzi faction came out of the mountain to calm the troubled times, which happened to be a perfect cycle.

As a result, in Confucianism, Xunzi became a Confucian scholar who was suppressed, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who asked him to teach Han Fei, the top legalist who combined magic and power, and Li Si, who helped the Emperor Qin to rule the world? .

He taught two top legalists in a row, and they both became the face of the Legalists at the end of the Warring States period.

Especially Han Fei, who combined Shang Yang's "law", Shen Buhai's "skill" and Shen Dao's "power", and also integrated Laozi's dialectics, simple materialism and law, leaving a legacy for later generations. A large number of famous sayings and books.His theory has always been the basis for the use of the Chinese feudal ruling class. It can be said that he merged the Legalists with the power of one person.

Since then, it has never been clear whether Xunzi was a Confucianist or a Legalist.

But his disciples and family prefer to stay with the Legalists. After all, Xunzi has trained two big bosses for the Legalists who have become a face as soon as they come out of the mountains.

How can one say this? Han Feizi, the first full-time master of Legalism, was Xunzi's most proud student.

If Confucianism in the Warring States period had to be evaluated, it was capable of fighting and speaking, but it was not good at governing the country.

If you can fight, you have to go to see Confucius. After all, Confucius and his father were invincible Hercules in the Spring and Autumn Period.

I don’t know that, but Mencius and Xunzi were able to become great sacrificial wines in Jixia Academy, and that was because of the strength of one person capable of overcoming a team of martial arts. Guys who eat, this kind of thing is not unheard of.

If you can talk, go and see those who can be the high priests in the academy. You can only become the high priests if you beat all the opponents with your words. This kind of eloquence is conceivable.

As for governance?If you don't mention this topic in front of Confucianism, you are still good friends.

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, countries that practiced Confucianism, no matter how big or small, were dead balls, can you believe it?
This is the fact, so during the Confucian Warring States period, there was no respect at all in front of those countries that wanted to dominate the world, but in front of the various schools of thought at that time, it was a mobile big blood bag, especially for the Legalists. That's even more so, the complete formation of Legalism, becoming the number one theory in the world is derived from the assist of Confucianism.
