The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 392 Han Xin, Yue Fei, and Li Jing participate in the discussion!

After the Mo family, the second person to appear was the military strategist.

The representative of the military strategists was, of course, the Minister of War of the current dynasty.

Seeing that the Mohist giant who had appeared before was attacked and wiped out by many Confucian disciples, and finally returned to his seat in embarrassment, he was still a little uneasy.

However, unexpectedly, when the Minister of War talked about their military strategist's strategy and core ideas of "refining and strengthening the army", almost no one tried to attack him.

Of course, it's no wonder.

After all, in this era of numerous countries, although the military strategist is said to be less influential than Confucianism and Legalism, no country can lack military strategist thought.

According to some idle statistics, after Emperor Li Chengdao, Datang's investment in the army gradually began to increase.

Until the defeat of the Byzantine Empire, the military expenditure of the Tang Dynasty had more than increased six to seven times compared to the previous emperor Li Yuan's reign more than ten years ago.

What's more, as the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Chengdao has the title of Emperor of Martial Arts.

He is definitely a military strategist who attaches great importance to the idea of ​​"defending the country with a strong army".

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was built on military force, and there was basically no conflict between military strategists, Confucianists, Mohists, and Legalists.

Therefore, people from other schools of thought are too lazy to argue with military strategists.

After all, military strategists are definitely on the list, but their influence is destined to be unable to compete with Confucianism and Legalism, so there is no need to make enemies.

Of course, the most important thing is that you have to look at the lineup of the military disciples!

The three Shangzhu Kingdom generals of the current dynasty, Yue Fei, Li Jing, and Han Xin, are all on the military side!

These three are all important ministers who have performed countless feats for the Tang Dynasty and hold heavy troops!

In front of them, who would dare to say that a military strategist is not qualified to enter the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty?

You must know that His Majesty the Emperor has specially established a Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty, which shows that he attaches great importance to military strategists.

The third person to appear was a famous person.

Famous people, simply put, are debaters and masters of debate.

The famous "white horse is not a horse" is an allusion from famous people.

Of course, this allusion gave the famous artist a bad reputation.

But in fact, famous people are advanced dialectical thinkers, but it is difficult for ordinary people to understand, so they are not popular.

In this era, famous lobbyists, including many ministers in the DPRK, basically have to learn from the ideas of famous figures.

But to be honest, it is easy for people to feel dizzy and led to follow the ideas of famous people.

Anyway, the students from various sects present listened for a long time, but they didn't understand what the other party was talking about.

Of course, no one went to attack the famous masters - because they didn't understand them at all.

The fourth person to appear was the Strategist.

Representatives of political strategists expressed their views, but only in general terms.

After all, it is not easy to discuss the thoughts of politicians in public.

Precisely because the story was told very briefly, although not many people criticized it, there were also not many people who supported it.

However, some of the famous disciples applauded and supported him.

This is no wonder, after all, the relationship between famous people and political strategists is very good. Some well-known lobbyists, such as the famous lobbyists Zhang Yi and Su Qin in history, have the academic theories of both famous people and political strategists.

Following the strategists, miscellaneous writers, novelists, farmers, etc., also successively sent their respective representatives to the stage.

However, in the eyes of many people at the scene, these small schools of thought were just here to look familiar.

Either it cannot meet the requirements of His Majesty the Emperor to "make the country prosperous and strong", or there is something wrong with its own thinking.     It's like Zajia.

It is known as "Confucianism, Mohism, and Legalism" and it stews the thoughts of Confucianism, Mohism, famous schools, Legalism and other schools in one pot.

It sounds nice to say that it is a collection of opinions and an eclectic approach, but in fact, this itself has problems.

For example, Confucian "love" and Mohist "love".

Both of them advocate benevolence that distinguishes objects and classes.

The other advocates charity regardless of object or class.

These are mutually antagonistic in themselves. How can we talk about being inclusive?

Another example is that Confucianism emphasizes governing the country by etiquette, and benevolence is higher than the law.

Legalism advocates governing the country according to law, and the law is above all else (actually there are reservations). How can the two be eclectic?

So unfortunately, Zajia was quickly eliminated and was not even included in the candidate list.

Even if your own thoughts are contradictory, how can you use them to convince the disciples of other sects?

And novelists were also eliminated along with the Zajia family.

Novelists, to put it bluntly, collect celebrity anecdotes and folklore.

Although it is its own school, to be honest, it does not benefit the country. It just gives the people one more way to entertain themselves.

This school was eliminated, and the disciples of other schools were not surprised at all.

As for the farmers, it is a bit dramatic that this school of thought was eliminated.

The idea of ​​farmers is very simple, which is to "focus on agriculture and mulberry trees to ensure adequate food and clothing." In fact, Confucianism also supports this point.

But the bad thing is that part of the peasant thought is similar to Mohist thought, which advocates letting the monarch work in the fields and understand the suffering of the people.

Confucianism cannot accept this.

The traditional Confucian view on farming is: I know the importance of farming, and insist that if a country wants to be strong, it must not neglect farming.

But I will not go into farming, because that is what the lower class do.

As a result, farmers were also eliminated.

After that, there are Confucianism and Legalism, which are the most eye-catching in this grand event.

In fact, Confucianism and Legalism still have the same ideas in some aspects, that is, maintaining the royal power.

The biggest conflict between them is whether to "rule the country by etiquette and law" or "rule the country by law."

As for the extension of the two thoughts, Confucianism believes that the privileged class enjoys privileges.

Legalists believe that everyone is equal under the law.

However, Legalists still have reservations on one point, that is, they ignore the monarch.

This is the so-called "under the king, everyone is equal under the king's law."

This part was retained out of respect for the emperor and because they needed the emperor's support.

This also leads to the fact that Legalists are often speechless when they are attacked and annihilated by Confucians.
