Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 112 I Want It All
Luo left the palace again. It is not an easy task to reshape a school from the root. He still needs to make a good plan. If Confucianism is split up now, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Luo Chang brought his cousin Luo Li to the storage room of Luo State. When he opened the door, he could smell a strong smell of oil. This storage room is one of the reasons why Luo Guoxue Palace can attract countless talents. .

Luo Li asked with some doubts: "Brother, what did you bring me here for? My branch is still a son of the office, and I don't need to pass on books until it's time to leave."

When the children of the official family lose their stigmata and leave, they will be given books and a lot of assets by the master.

Luo Chang heard the words and scolded with a smile: "You boy, if you want to stay away, you can go to the ancestral temple to ask the ancestors, and you must be able to achieve your wish."

Luo Li laughed, and Luo Chang said sternly, "I brought you here because my uncle is planning Confucianism now, but this alone is not enough, the kingly way covers thousands of things, how can a mere Confucianism be able to sum it up?
The Tao Te Ching written by Laozi in the past is also the kingly way, even more invincible than Confucianism. "

With the background of Luo Kingdom, it is naturally impossible to master only one Confucianism, and although Confucianism is a kind of kingly way, it is not all.

At least the wisdom contained in Lao Tzu's theory is not inferior to Confucianism at all, especially in terms of governing the country, Lao Tzu's thoughts are from a strategic position.

The greatest advantage of Confucianism is that the words in the classics sound so beautiful.

Regardless of whether it can be realized or not, it sounds like this is the right way, like the sun will make people feel warm.

In contrast to the Legalists, each measure is indeed a way to strengthen the country, but it is too unappealing, and everyone except the monarch looks like a villain.

Luo Chang came here to find a more important classic. The two walked around two large bookshelves and stopped in front of a large scroll of bamboo slips. He pointed to the densely packed slips on it and said, "Li, do you see Are those ten volumes? That is one of the sources of Legalism!"

Luo Li looked up, and saw the word "Guanzi" written next to the bamboo slips on the bookshelf.

"Brother, is this written by Guan Zhong in the past?"

Guan Zhong has a great reputation among the kingdoms of Xia. He assisted Duke Huan to dominate the world for five years. This is a record that no courtier has ever achieved. Admired Guan Zhong.

"That's right, this is the thought of Guan Zhong, the governor of the Qi State 400 years ago. It contains Guan Zhong's thinking about the prosperity of the country and the deep reasons for various reforms. This is actually one of the sources of thought of the Legalists in the academy.

But the current domineering legalists carried forward Guan Zhong's method of enhancing the authority of the monarch and driving the soldiers and the people, but all abandoned Guan Zhong's policies of giving benefits to the people and neutralizing contradictions, and finally created the current Legalists.

Guan Zhongben was a descendant of Luo Guogong's family. His theory came from the indisputable fact that King Su was indisputable.

The disciples of the Legalists must be in constant fear, and at that time, perhaps this set of gentle theories needs to be born.

You are the most gifted in academics among the children of the official family. Bringing "Guanzi" back to Haosheng for study is like Duke Ming's status in Confucianism. You have to work hard to occupy a place in Guan Zhong's Legalism. "

Luo Li's eyes became brighter the more he listened, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, brother, Li will definitely live up to his trust."

……

When Luo Chang was here to plan Confucianism and Legalism, the two relatively prosperous theories, Qi was at a superficial calm, but in fact there was an undercurrent surging under the surface.

The impact of Qi's defeat is immeasurable. Those nobles who wanted to restore Duke Huan's hegemony suffered a huge blow. Qi not only failed to recover its strength, but also ceded land and compensated for losses, especially the cession of the Huaisi area. Qi lost A bridgehead heading south.

In the Palace of Qi, the atmosphere was very stagnant, and the two groups of people were fighting against each other, refusing to give in to each other.

The Prime Minister knelt in front of Duke Qi and wept, "Your Majesty.

Qi State is a state entrusted by King Wu. It is as noble and ancient as Luo State. The former monarch Huan Gong became Fangbo, won Jiuxi, and opened the road to hegemony. What a glorious and splendid history.

What a humiliating thing it is to cede one-third of the land in Zhu Xia's war!

Don't you feel angry that this is the land that our ancestors got through overcoming thorns and thorns?

Please also go to Linzi City and listen to it. The anger in Qi people's hearts is like hot magma, and it will erupt at some point.

If you don't appease me any longer, you and I will surely die in the court. "

This is exactly what Duke Qi was worried about, he also wept and sighed: "Guo Xiang, don't you know the danger you mentioned?
But now that the situation is so serious, what should Gu do? "

The prime minister wiped away his tears and said harshly: "My lord, Qi was defeated because Xue Yuan and others were unfavorable in the battle and started the war without authorization.

They must be responsible for the defeat, killing them all, and then putting the blame on them, presumably it can ease the mood of the nobles and people in the country. "

If you win, you will be rewarded, if you lose, you will be punished.

This is the iron law, Qi has suffered such a big failure, someone must stand up and take the blame, if no one stands up, the monarch must take the blame.

But this time the pot was too big for Duke Qi to carry it alone, so the Prime Minister suggested that the officials who launched the war should carry it.

"Kill Xue Yuan and the others?" Qi Gong said in shock: "They have heavy soldiers in their hands. Wouldn't killing them directly set off a civil war in the country?"

Sima also objected: "There are Qin and Wei armies to the south of Qi, what if Qin and Wei who are stationed in Huaisi take the opportunity to attack?
Wei Houqing betrayed the covenant between Qin and Wei, and Qin Bo betrayed the covenant between Qin and Chu. These two countries are all treacherous and wolf countries.

Once there is turmoil in the country, they will definitely tear up the Luoshui peace agreement in an instant. At that time, it will be a catastrophe to overthrow the country. Can you bear this responsibility, Prime Minister? "

Qi State had always traveled with Luo State in the past, so it basically did not do anything to betray the alliance. For Wei State and Qin State's unscrupulous behavior of breaking the alliance, Qi State was very vigilant.

Duke Qi hesitated and said: "President of the State, without the assistance of the State of Luo, I really have no idea in my heart. Why don't you send someone to the State of Luo and ask Lord Luo if there is any solution."

Guo Xiang was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. At the moment of life and death, he had so many worries, what a pig teammate!

Do you really think Luohou wants to see you?

The Prime Minister stood up and grabbed Qi Gong's arm and said sharply: "My lord!
You can no longer hesitate, and you immediately sent a letter to the nobles in the country, saying that the defeat of Qi State was due to your lack of virtue, and all loyal ministers are invited to come to Linzi to discuss the important affairs of Qi State. "

As he said that, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he stared closely at Duke Qi, as if he wanted to kill you first if you don't agree, Duke Qi timidly said: "Then follow what the Prime Minister said."

Regardless of whether Qi Xiang has selfishness or not, his judgment on the situation in Qi is very accurate.

The nobles of all countries suffered heavy losses in the war, and the nobles of the victorious countries of Chu could still get compensation, and the defeated countries of Qi were too miserable.

There are many contradictions in the country, especially some minor nobles who want to make up for the losses, directly start attacking the adjacent cities, and those nobles who were directly cut off their land, lost their fiefs, and their hearts are full of indignation.

These grievances will eventually be transmitted to Linzi City, which is the inevitable fate of the Sheji Lord.

When receiving the news from the city of Linzi, since Duke Qi invited the nobles of the entire kingdom, and his tone was very sincere, most of them didn't feel anything amiss.

Nearly a hundred nobles from dozens of cities in Qi State brought their retainers to Linzi City.

……

Many years have passed since the era of Confucius, but the prosperity of Confucianism is not only because of the support of the Luo Kingdom in the academy, but also because the descendants of Confucius' disciples in the past have indeed produced a large number of sages.

If you want to intervene in the future of Confucianism, these people need to be dealt with, especially the most famous students of Confucius must be included in the list of sages.

In fact, Duanmu Gong, the current leader, has long been worried about the status quo of Confucianism. He is not a saint like Confucius, and he cannot be so calm and calm. He is very concerned about the status and development of Confucianism.

"Nowadays in all countries, those who occupy high positions are all warriors who are skilled in military affairs. The world is in ruins, and the monarchs of all countries value law and art instead of benevolence. Where should Confucianism go?"

From the moment of birth, all theories exist to realize political ideals and establish the world in their hearts.

It doesn't matter if the theory is rejected by the monarch of a country, but all the monarchs reject it. How can Confucian scholars be calm?

"Mr. Duanmu, I saw the original book "Luo Yu" written by Luo Minggong in the old man's mansion a few days ago. note.

After reading one volume, I was shocked. These ideas fit very well with Confucianism, but they are not included in our classics. If we can attract this part of the classics, Confucianism will surely be able to achieve greater development. "

There were descendants of Luo Guogong clan in the room, and he said after hearing the words: "There are countless secret classics in the office, especially the children of the office are mostly smart, I am afraid that in the office, the annotations of Confucius' classics are also very important. There are many, but outsiders don’t know about it.”

Luo lightly threw another bait, trying to catch the big fish of Confucianism.

……

Luo State's accumulation of heritage is too deep. After encountering an unprecedented failure, Wu State fell into a situation of extinction, Qi State fell into civil strife, and South Korea and Zhao State were subservient to Wei State.

On the other hand, the state of Luo just lost its political hegemony and began to wield the big stick of culture instead. Through the lofty status of King Su, the classics with different views of ancestors in the past dynasties and the monopoly power of Luo Guoxue Palace, all kinds of theories and thoughts at the bottom Strengthening its own influence, this enabled Rockwell to gain a detached position in the fierce school dispute. ——"The Kingdom of Luo in the Warring States Period"
