The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 624 Hua Xin and Guan Ning's Love
The legalist approach has indeed refreshed the lower limit of the three views of people, but it is not fair to say that there is no merit at all.

For example, Shang Yang's reform, the implementation of twenty military meritorious titles, provided promotion channels for the people at the bottom, breaking the long-standing pattern of nobles monopolizing power.

This is the sense of impartial idealism that Lin Chao felt when he read "Book of Shang Jun".

At the beginning of Shang Yang's reform, the prince broke the law. Shang Yang said that the prince was the future king of Qin and could not be punished. Instead, he cut off the noses of the prince's two teachers.

You must know that one of the two teachers of the prince at that time was Qin Xiaogong's brother, Shang Yang was still unforgiving of the law, and vigorously defended the justice of the law!

In contrast, Confucianism advocates hereditary succession on this point, and it is easier to form a solidified class, which is the last thing Lin Chao wants to see.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Legalists were so bad, and Lin Chao wanted to introduce them into the academy.

But judging by the attitudes of Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong, it shouldn't be too smooth.

Lin Chao cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, Mr. Cai, is it true that the Legalists are useless?"

Zheng Xuan nodded and said: "This is natural. If there are still merits in the various schools of thought, the sorcery of Legalism should be sealed forever, and it must not be released to harm people."

Lin Chao smiled wryly and said, "It's not that the disciples are stubborn, it's just the way of enlightenment, which is easy to know but difficult to practice. To rule the world, you must rely on the law after all."

The Confucian idea of ​​using etiquette, law, benevolence and righteousness to educate the world is noble, but it is a bit too idealistic.

The reason why a sage is a sage is because that is a realm beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Morality is something that is always used to discipline oneself.

It is true that the morality in one's heart should always be higher than the law.

If a person only obeys the law, then this person is likely to be a scumbag.

But even so, the world needs laws to regulate human behavior.

According to Lin Chao's idea, it is best to use both Confucianism and Law.

But Zheng Xuan gave a completely different statement: "Zichu, my Confucianism has its own method, why use the method of the Legalist?"

Hearing this, Lin Chao was stunned for a moment.

Confucianism also has laws?
Old man Zheng, don't frame me.

Seeing Lin Chao's puzzled face, Cai Yong smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Where did Zichu think the Legalists came from? Who is the earliest Legalist figure in this world?"

Lin Chao's knowledge in his stomach was limited, he couldn't answer the first question, but he could still speak to the second question.

"My subordinates believe that Guan Zi should be the head of Legalism."

Guan Zi is Guan Zhong, a great sage who helped Duke Huan of Qi and nine princes in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Because Guan Zhong lived earlier, and his own policy was not as harsh as the legalists of later generations, some people said he was a Legalist, while others said he was a Confucianist.

According to the mainstream of this era, Guan Zi is still a Confucian figure, so Cai Yong was a little surprised when he heard Lin Chao's answer.

"Okay, even though Guan Zi is the forerunner of Legalism, not all of the later Legalists came from my Confucian school."

When Cai Yong said this, there was obvious complacency and contempt in his words.

This is the first time Lin Chao has heard of this statement, but thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true.

Except for Shang Yang, other Legalists, such as Wu Qi, Li Kui, Han Fei, Li Si, etc., seem to be disciples of Confucianism.

Could it be that jurisprudence really originated from Confucianism?

Cai Yong didn't notice the strangeness in Lin Chao's expression, but continued to laugh and said: "My Confucianism is the teacher of the Legalists, the Legalists have laws, how can my Confucianism not be able to?"

Hearing this, Lin Chao understood that this had involved his own blind spot of knowledge, so he cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Cai."

At that moment, Cai Yong explained the Confucianism to Lin Chao.

After listening, Lin Chao was shocked.

According to Cai Yong, the law of the Legalists is the law of one person.Disregarding the morality of the world, disregarding the life and death of the people, and even disregarding the laws of nature and human relations...

In a word, it only considers the purpose and ignores the actual situation, so it is tyranny when implemented.

Confucian etiquette, on the other hand, is born out of etiquette rules, and all restrictions established are also in line with moral values, so it is a benevolent government when implemented.

Take the serious crime of conspiracy and rebellion as an example. If too many people are involved, the Confucian rulers will consider the influence and worry about future troubles. They may only punish the chief culprit and pardon the rest as appropriate.

After dealing with it, Confucianists will still reflect on themselves, and come to a wave of classics, putting aside the facts, so many people are against you, are you not at fault?

This way of handling is the best portrayal of the law not blaming the public.

If they were to be dealt with in a legalist way, there would be no room for relaxation, they would all be killed!
After Cai Yong's explanation, Lin Chao suddenly realized.

Although Cai Yong's words must have been whitewashed by Confucianism, the truth is true.

It is said that the Han inherited the Qin system, but this is actually a misunderstanding.

Because what the Han inherited was Qin's prefecture and county system and official system, not everything from the Qin Dynasty.Otherwise, the early Han Dynasty would not have used Huang Lao's learning to live with the people.

As for the law of Qin being practiced for a hundred generations, it is a false proposition.

If the harsh government orders like Qin Fa can be passed on for a hundred generations, when Liu Bang enters the third chapter of the Xianyang Constitution, there will be no situation where he is proud of the old Qin and welcomes Pei Gong.

Look, even the people of Qin can't stand Qin Fa, so how can it be passed on for generations?

What has been passed down through the ages is the establishment of the system of China's great unification by the First Emperor.

Thousands of years after the first emperor, all those who have aspirations, from the emperors and generals to the common people in the head of Guizhou, are maintaining the unity of the land of China, and will not allow China to be trampled by captives!
Seeing that Lin Chao was silenced by Cai Yong's words, Zheng Xuan concluded: "Zichu, I don't know why you have to introduce legalists to the palace as a teacher, but I want to tell you that anyone who governs the country with severe punishments and strict laws will eventually die. In the early days of Zichu, you have always been kind to the people, so you don’t need to say anything about your ideals as a teacher..."

"Thank you for your teaching, I understand." Lin Chao cupped his hands and said, "But I still want to introduce the law into the palace. "Shang Junshu" is a fallacy, but I think "Guanzi" and "Han Feizi" are worthy of reading."

"Guanzi" is of course no problem, after all, whether Guan Zhong is a Confucianist or a Legalist, this question has never been settled.

As for "Han Feizi", the content in it is not as evil as "Book of Shang Jun", but more about speculations about ancient and modern times. Although there are still things like five beetles that despise etiquette and morality, they can always be justified and have a certain degree of philosophical.

Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong thought for a long time, and finally agreed to Lin Chao's request, and listed "Guanzi" and "Han Feizi" as elective textbooks.

From this point, we can also see the advantages and disadvantages of Confucianism and Legalism.

When the Legalists gained power, they imprisoned their thoughts, restrained their actions, and rejected the theories of other schools.There was even the later burning of books and burying Confucianism, and even requiring scholars to worship officials as teachers.

After Confucianism gained power, although it labeled Legalism as a sorcery, it neither burned books nor murdered legal scholars, and it was quite open to other schools of thought.

Seeing that the goal of gathering hundreds of families had been achieved, Lin Chao made his last request: "Teacher, this disciple thinks that some girls should be recruited."

Hearing this, Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong frowned again.

They do not object to women's reading, otherwise Cai Yong would not teach Cai Wenji to read and write.

Zheng Xuan said: "Zichu, there is nothing wrong with women studying, but they are not allowed to enter the palace."

"Why?" Lin Chao asked puzzled.

"Didn't Zichu hear that gentlemen are gentlemen?" Cai Yong said with a smile, "The students in the academy are still young and full of vigor. If a group of girls are recruited at this time, the students will definitely not want to study, and even cause a scandal. , what will be the face of the school then?"

The man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, and both of them live under the same roof, not to mention the delay in studying, and one day they will be killed.

After all, with the openness of women in the Han Dynasty, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

"Forehead……"

Lin Chao really didn't think about this possibility, and was instantly speechless by Cai Yong's words.

"It's so simple, so let's live separately and study separately. On the women's side, all the women are appointed as teachers." Lin Chao said. It is more than enough to be a teacher in the entrance palace. In addition, recruiting some women who have read poetry and books to teach, it would be a good story."

Although Lin Chao gave a solution, Zheng Xuan still had concerns. Just when he was about to refute, Lin Chao suddenly smiled at him and said: "Teacher, everyone in the class was a female class, and they can still continue the will of the dead brother to serve National history, now we might as well follow the example of the sages. Speaking of which, teacher, you can also be regarded as the master of the Ban family, and the disciples are honored to be the disciples and grandchildren of the masters of the class!"

In the past, Ban Zhao succeeded his deceased brother Ban Gu and continued to write "Hanshu", but after finishing writing, not many people could understand it.In order to learn "Hanshu", Ma Rong worshiped Ban Zhao as his teacher.

When Zheng Xuan was studying abroad, he had worshiped Ma Rong as his teacher, so Zheng Xuan could be regarded as Ban Zhao's disciple.

Seeing Lin Chao lift Ban Zhao out to press him down, Zheng Xuan couldn't help blushing, and glared at Lin Chao, but after all he couldn't speak up to object.

As for Cai Yong, Lin Chao appointed his two daughters as teachers in the academy, so he naturally had no reason to object.

Zheng Xuan sighed: "Forget it, girls should go to school, just be careful not to cause trouble."

Lin Chao smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry, Mr. Cai will sacrifice wine for the academy. Mr. Cai will take care of this matter. If something goes wrong, it must be Mr. Cai's fault, and Mr. Cai can punish him as much as possible."

"No reason!"

Cai Yong blew his beard and stared.

……

The specific matters of the academy had been negotiated, and the three chatted and laughed for a while, then Zheng Xuan took Lin Chao out of the study and introduced him to the instructors from the academy that he had recruited during this period.

Needless to say the disciples of Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong, there are several heavyweights besides them.

For example, Chen Gui, who was born in the Chen family of Xiapi, was Chen Deng's father.There are also his younger brothers Chen Yu and Chen Cong, these two are the sons of Zheng Xuan's teacher Chen Qiu.

Liu Bei had already established a firm foothold in Xuzhou, and as the most outstanding talent of the Chen family in Xiapi, Chen Deng had chosen to serve Liu Bei, so the Chen family had nothing to worry about, and they all devoted themselves to the academy.

In addition, Zheng Xuan's younger brother Guan Ning, Bing Yuan and others also came to the academy to teach.

Lin Chao was still very interested in Guan Ning, but what he was interested in was not Guan Ning's integrity in not being an official all his life, but the epic love between him and Hua Xin!

In the past, Guan Ning lived with Hua Xin for a period of time. When they were digging the ground and planting vegetables together, Guan Ning found a small piece of gold in the field, but turned a blind eye to it.Then Hua Xin picked up the gold, and Guan Ning stared at Hua Xin. Seeing Guan Ning's expression was troubled, Hua Xin threw the gold away.

Later, some local tyrants in the town swaggered through the city on tall horses. Guan Ning continued to turn a blind eye, but Hua Xin appeared in the crowd of onlookers.

When Hua Xin came back after seeing enough excitement, he found that Guan Ning had cut the mat they were kneeling on together in two, and then broke up with Hua Xin.

It stands to reason that Guan Ning is so decisive, Hua Xin shouldn't be making fun of himself anymore.

But the answer is no.

Later, when Hua Xin was in Cao Wei Dezhi, he repeatedly recommended Guan Ning to Cao Pi. Even though he knew that Guan Ning would not be an official, he still recommended him every year.

Later, when Emperor Wei Ming Cao Rui was in power, Hua Xin was already seventy years old and sickly, and had to be carried to court, Hua Xin still continued to recommend Guan Ning to Cao Rui, and even prepared to let him Guan Ning succeeds him as Taiwei, and he is willing to let Xian retire.

Oh, the bloody sour stink!

Throughout his life, Hua Xin tried his best to recommend Guan Ning to Cao Wei. If this is not considered love, then Lin Chao has nothing to say.

It coincided with the Han Dynasty, when masculinity prevailed again, Lin Chao thought his guess was very reasonable, and couldn't help but take a second look at Guan Ning.

It's a pity that under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Chao, as the head of the Taiwei's mansion, couldn't go up and ask if the two are in love, or if Hua Xin is unrequited love...

So this question could only be held in his heart, which made Lin Chao very uncomfortable.

Guan Ning, on the other hand, was covered in hairs by Lin Chao's strange gaze, and broke out in a cold sweat unconsciously.

I have heard that Lin Zichu has the style of an ancient gentleman, seeing him today, why is he so rude!

Guan Ning was ashamed and angry at the same time, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only hold it in his heart.

On the way back, when Lin Chao was still thinking about it, Xun Cai saw the clue, so he asked, "Zi Chu, you looked at Mr. Guan just now, and it seems that there is some deep meaning in your eyes."

"Hahaha... the one who knows me is Nv Xunye!" Lin Chao laughed and said, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, how about I tell you a story for my husband?"

Xun Cai asked suspiciously, "Story?"

"Yes, a poignant and sadistic love story!"

Xun Cai: ...

Could it be that Zichu is crazy!

Seeing Xun Cai's gaze as if looking at a fool, Lin Chao suddenly became annoyed and said, "Do you want to listen or not!"

"Okay, okay, please tell me, my husband, and I will listen attentively."

Seeing Lin Changshi angry, Xun Cai quickly smiled and comforted him.

Only then was Lin Chao satisfied, and he cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "It is said that since Pangu opened the sky, three emperors ruled the world, and five emperors ruled the world, the world was divided into four major continents: the East Shengshen Continent, and the West Niu He Continent. ..."

"Zi Chu, what you're saying is..."

"Female Xun, don't worry, but every story has a wrong beginning. Let me listen to my husband's detailed explanation... but it is said that after Wang Mang usurped the Han, the monkey was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, and it was not until the Zhongping period that he escaped from birth. Even with a yellow scarf on his head, he raised the pole. Later generations remembered him for burning talisman water to cure diseases for everyone, so he honored him as the great virtuous teacher Sun Wukong..."

Xun Cai: ...

This is a love story?
