The Chronicle of the Emperor of the Great Desolation

Chapter 300 The king's spell power, the first among the philosophers

Qufu, the capital of the State of Lu, is also the last city that retains a strong style of ritual and music after the decline of the Zhou royal family. Confucius, who wanted to restore the rule of the three generations, killed his academic enemy Shaozheng. Mao, caused a sensation for a while.

"Brother Kongqiu, although Shaozhengmao holds different views with you, it is normal for the so-called gentlemen to be harmonious but different. It seems that you are not in line with the style of a benevolent man! Your views are in line with your Confucianism. It’s even more contrary, don’t you also want to find a chance to kill me?”

In Da Sikou's mansion, Ji Xuanmiao and Confucius sat kneeling in the hall, thinking of what happened the day before yesterday, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Shaozheng Mao has been dead for three days, and his body is still exposed to the sun on the tower.

In order to establish his prestige, Kong Qiu not only insisted on killing people, but also forbade others to collect the corpses. For a while, some hated him, some feared him, and there were quite a few people who despised him.

Kong Qiu was tall and burly, with a solid face, eyes full of spirit, revealing a wisdom and comprehension, he was an extraordinary person at first sight.

"Shaozhengmao is 'the villain of the villain', who has five bad qualities of 'spiritual and dangerous, steadfast and firm, debating false words, remembering ugliness and learning, and being obedient and brilliant'. The ability to rebel must be killed. This is the punishment of a gentleman!"

"This is the words of Brother Kong Qiu's family. Shaozheng Mao has never done anything harmful to the country. He is just a doctor, not a minister in power. What ability does he have to rebel?"

Ji Xuanmiao didn't agree with Kong Qiu's words. This was just fooling around. How could these apprentices convince him?
"Brother Kong Qiu created Confucianism, advocated ritual and music to rule the country, and wholeheartedly wanted to restore the rule of the three generations. This chief officer is responsible for implementing laws and decrees and assisting the monarch in exercising judicial power. It is far from your Confucianism. It is a pity that Brother Kong Qiu has prejudice against me. Otherwise, this position is very suitable for me!"

Confucius smiled and said: "It's not that Confucius is prejudiced against Brother Ji. Although your way can enrich the country and strengthen the army, it will destroy people's hearts and indulge in profit and power tactics, which is not in line with the way of a gentleman. The prosperous age of rites and music is getting farther and farther away. Donglu Kingdom, the last hometown of Zhou rites, is afraid that it will be destroyed in one day."

"Haha!" Ji Xuanmiao shook her head, disapproving of Kong Qiu's words, and said flatly: "Brother Kong's words are wrong. My way is the learning of emperors. It can not only enrich the country and strengthen the army, stabilize the country, but also centralize power and end chaos. Once it comes out , the influence will be far-reaching and extensive, even if your theory perishes, my theory will be passed on for a long time and become the standard of the country."

Confucius naturally disagreed, and the two debated again, but they failed to convince each other. At the end, Ji Xuanmiao said: "Brother Kong, although you killed Shaozhengmao, the nobles of Lu State are powerful, and Qi State is eyeing you. This is an internal and external trouble, and your theory may not be able to achieve anything in this chaotic Longtan."

Confucius said to himself: "Heaven is healthy, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. The so-called human effort is what matters. As long as you persevere, even if there are difficulties, you can overcome them. Even if you fail in the end, I am worthy of the king and the community."

"Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. This is the sentence in the "Book of Changes" you are writing. It really is the essence of human nature. It is enough to last forever. I am looking forward to the success of your book."

"It's just a summary of what the predecessors have learned, explaining Fuxi's innate gossip with the acquired way, and supplemented by King Wen's "Gua Jing". It is not Confucius who achieved it alone, but it should not be praised."

After the exchange between the two, Ji Xuanmiao didn't go back until the evening.

Several years later, Confucius practiced the Confucian way of governing the country in the state of Lu, which improved the state of Lu, but aroused the fear of the state of Qi, and caused people to alienate the relationship between the monarch and Confucius. Confucius was disappointed and abandoned his official position. Shu Li said.

In another ten years, Confucius wrote a Confucian masterpiece, which is known as the head of the classics, the "Book of Changes", the source of a hundred schools of thought, and the "Guizang Yi" written by Xuanyuan Huangdi, and the "Lianshan Yi" written by Shennong. Superimposed in pairs to form 64 hexagrams, each hexagram has six lines, which can be solved by making ten wings.

Since then, the profound Xiantian gossip has evolved into the shallow Houtian gossip. Although the height has declined, it has become more popular. Even people who do not understand the cultivation base can learn the way of changing the world through this, so as to realize different wonderful things. Reason, or seek good luck and avoid evil.

Since then, the heavenly gossip has been completed, and the merits and virtues descended from the heavens. Confucius originally only had the cultivation base of an earth immortal, but he achieved the realm of Taiyi Jinxian in an instant, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

With such a big commotion, countless people in the world were naturally alarmed, especially Fuxi in Huoyun Cave, who had a [-]% acquired gossip, a complete innate and acquired integrity, and a few more points in the luck of the human race, and he also enjoyed the benefits.

"Brother Ji, I want to leave the state of Lu and travel around the world to promote my theory. I wonder what your plan is?"

On this day, Ji Xuanmiao was about to finish his masterpiece "Xuanzi", when suddenly, Confucius came to visit and asked just this one question.

"I heard that Brother Kong wrote "Book of Changes", the sages of the human race liked it, and Marquis Lu served him with respect as a teacher. This is the time for Brother Kong to flex his muscles, why did he leave?"

Confucius sighed: "What the Marquis of Lu respects is my virtue and status, not my ideas. It's okay to be an old man in Lu State, but it's hard to make achievements in politics. Staying here will only increase troubles! "

Ji Xuanmiao said in admiration: "It's rare that Brother Kong is still sober at this moment. I admire you. But if all countries don't agree with your theory, so what?"

Confucius said with a smile: "If the way is not good enough, take a boat and float in the sea, take the strengths of the heaven and the earth to make up for my weaknesses, perfect myself, and wait for the right time."

"Okay, Brother Kong is open-minded, I admire you." Although Ji Xuanmiao has different ideas from Confucius, he still admires his character and temperament. Brother Kong traveled around the world together."

Half an hour later, the two went on the road together, and Ji Xuanmiao said, "Brother Kong, have you thought about where this first stop should be?"

Confucius said: "Although I have written the "Book of Changes", I still have my doubts about the Dao of Heaven and Earth. I heard that there is a sage in the storage room in Luoyi, who understands the way of heaven and earth, and understands the decay of ancient and modern. If you don’t know, why don’t you go ask for advice?”

Ji Xuanmiao said: "My theory is about to come true. Before that, discussing with sages, learning from each other's strengths and making up for their weaknesses, is really indescribable. Brother Kong's sage is senior Li Boyang?"

"Yes, it is this sage."

Both of them are powerful people, and they used the technique of vertical golden light to walk through the Liuhe formation at a very fast speed. It only takes half a day to reach Luoyi, so they are not in a hurry, and they talked about it while walking. This sage.

"This senior has a strange background. It is said that there was a young woman in the state of Chu who was playing by the river and saw a plum floating in the water. She picked it up and ate it, and she became pregnant."

"It's just that I was pregnant in 81. I gave birth to a white-haired son. He pointed to the Li tree at home and said that his surname was Li, so he named him Li Boyang. And because he was young and old, he was also called Laodan. But this sage No one can match his intelligence, and when he was young, he was able to understand the principles of the world and understand all the changes of things, and later he became the official of the Great Zhou's treasury."

Ji Xuanmiao sighed: "The collection room collects the world's literature and receives the world's books. It is full of sweat and cattle. There is everything. Lao Dan lives in it, reads extensively, gradually reaches a better state, understands the source of ritual and music, understands the purpose of morality, and is famous. It has been heard far and wide, and its sound has spread all over the world, and it is really a role model for our generation."

The two came to Luoyi with admiration all the way. As two people's university students, even if the theory is not respected, they will not be neglected. What's more, the two are still immortals with powerful cultivation bases. Dan is not difficult.

When Ji Xuanmiao saw Lao Dan's remarks about criminal names and laws, Lao Dan smiled and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking small fish, doing nothing but doing everything. If you are too high, you will know it; secondly, you will praise it if you are close to you. Second, fear it. Second, insult it." .Your way is to make the people fear it, which is the way to go!"

Ji Xuanmiao shook his head and said: "The way of the predecessors is a small political ax to make the people self-government. My way is a big political ax to rule the world with the law. Your way is suitable for recuperating after troubled times, and my way is suitable for all times."

Although Ji Xuanmiao's legalist ideas are different from Lao Dan's Taoist ideas, they also have something in common. They both agree with the rule of law. The difference is only the degree of rule of law and the influence of politics on the people.

He got a lot of inspiration here, and the book "Xuanzi" finally came to fruition.

"I, Ji Xuanmiao, observe the governance of a hundred generations and observe the rise and fall of troubled times. Today's legislators have theories to rule the people by law, control people by art, and bully people by power. Use magic and power together, work hard instead of hard, and rule people instead of others. This is the son of heaven. Learning, the art of the emperor, the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and the way of mixing the world!"

At this time, Lao Tzu has not spoken five thousand words, Confucianism has not yet been established, and hundreds of schools of thought are in the gestation stage. Ji Xuanmiao used Legalism as the first to open a hundred schools of thought, and won the boundless fortune of humanity.

Just listen to the sound of the voice, and the heaven and the earth feel it. This is a key step in promoting the transformation of human civilization. The immeasurable merits and virtues have fallen. Pushing it on top of "Xuanzi", plus the other four virtues, it is as much as [-]%, making this great work a powerful spiritual treasure in an instant.

There are waves in the long river of fate, the mist clears, and memory fragments emerge one after another. Thinking of his identity and the purpose of his reincarnation, Ji Xuanmiao is stunned, as if he has passed away.
