Confucianism is supreme? I am reciting Tang poems in another world!

Yan Ruoci returned to her residence, and her mother Meng Ruo was already waiting in the room.

"Ruo Ci, today is your last class. How was your experience as a lecturer during this period?" Meng Ruo asked.

“Although it’s hard work, it’s really training.”

Yan Ruoci replied: "It's a pity that most of the students in our freshman hall have left, and some of the first- and second-year students also chose to leave the academy and return to their hometowns."

"There is no way. Who told this war to start soon?"

Meng Ruo sighed. Originally it was a good thing for Mirage to attribute his talents to the world's literati, but unexpectedly it accelerated the outbreak of the Seven Kingdoms War. Although in the real national war, the number of literati who could participate was not very high. There may not be many, but they are often the ones who determine the final direction of the war.

Nowadays, the friction between the seven countries is intensifying, and literati from each country have joined the world and returned to make suggestions for their respective countries. Now the world is really going into chaos.

"Mom, who will win this war?" Yan Ruoci asked.

"Who will win?"

Meng Ruo smiled bitterly and said: "War is always cruel. There is no so-called winner. The price of war is the death of countless people and the fragmentation of countless families. And the so-called winner will also pay a heavy price in the war. ”

"But now that the seven kingdoms are standing together, each country has a similar language, but its cultural customs are very different. It's time for the world to be unified." Yan Ruoci replied.

"For future generations, the unification of the world is the beginning of people living and working in peace and contentment, and the country becoming prosperous and prosperous. But for this generation, they have to go through wars, lose their loved ones, and have to make many sacrifices."

There was a sadness in Meng Ruo's tone. Like Yan Ruoci, she was aware of the general trend of the world and the grievances and hatreds among the seven countries. She also knew that no matter which country among the seven countries finally won, for ordinary people As far as the people are concerned, it is a disaster.

"Mom, is there really nothing we can do?" Yan Ruoci asked.

"What can we do? We are just raising people to cultivate their abilities. On the real battlefield of scholars from the Seven Kingdoms, we are just cannon fodder." Meng Ruo sighed and said: "If you want to do something for the people of the world, then work hard to cultivate and become a Be a great Confucian. Only after you become a great Confucian can you be able to benefit all people in the world."

Yan Ruoci nodded. She knew that with her current level of cultivation, it was a fool's errand to change the general trend of the world. The only thing she could do was to make herself stronger.

"By the way, Mr. Yi told me a few days ago that he would be out for a while and asked you to take charge of Zhong Qi's homework. How is it going?

"Meng Ruo continued to ask.

Yan Ruici gently held her forehead, with a look of helplessness on her face, "Mother, Senior Brother Zhongqi is a Jinshi, and he is eight years older than me. Even if I want to be responsible for his homework, I am not able to do it. Not enough."

"If you are a poet, don't belittle yourself. You are etiquette. Although your literary skills are not as good as Zhongqi's, in terms of etiquette and law, you can surpass him."

Meng Ruo patted Yan Ruoci's hand gently and continued: "What's more, Zhong Qi is now Mr. Yi's personal successor. Since he handed Zhong Qi to you, he is extremely reassured and believes that you have the ability to do it." Guidance Zhongqi.”

"After all, this child is not bad in nature, but has some flaws in his character. What he needs now is good guidance to change his mentality."

Yan Ruici nodded slightly. She naturally understood the meaning of her mother's words and said, "Mom, I will try my best."

. . . . . . .

"Mr. Ci, we have been traveling for a year now. Isn't it time to return to Zhongzhou?"

"That's almost it. You've also visited the capitals of the other six countries. In your opinion, which country impressed you more deeply?"

"South Korea, although this country is not large in geographical area, it has won my heart both in terms of the size of its capital and its people's customs and habits."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Although South Korea is small in area, under the governance of the Legalist ideas left by Han Sheng, the living standards of Korean people are extremely high. Even ordinary people on the streets can barely understand it. South Korea's laws are extremely strict. Regardless of whether they are princes, nobles or ordinary people, those who break the law will be punished as they should. "

"So, you are more interested in governing the country with Legalism in the future?"

"Well, I learned a lot from my meeting with Mr. Han Yan. In my opinion, Legalism is the way to govern the world after the seven countries are unified in the future." The young man in black replied.

"Legalist?"

Another young man frowned slightly. Before the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, there were actually Legalist disciples in each country communicating with each other, but the actual governance of the country was not entirely in accordance with Legalism.

This is because although Legalism emphasizes the rule of law, it does not value human relationships at all. Everything is carried out in accordance with the law. If the king is unwilling to forgive and kills too harshly, the people will complain. But if the king is merciful and reduces the punishment, it will cause the law to lose its majesty.

More importantly, no matter how harsh the punishment is, there are always those who disobey the law, and these people often have only one way to go, and that is to rebel. Although Legalists attach great importance to the rule of law, they do not attach importance to maintaining stability, that is, they do not attach importance to preventing rebellion.

"Although Legalists pay attention to the rule of law, they are too indifferent and do not value human relationships. However, humanities and law can actually complement each other and draw on each other's strengths, so as to benefit the people."

"In troubled times, use heavy punishments, and in prosperous times, follow the kingly way. Mr. Ci, if you really want to end this chaotic era, heavy punishments and the study of the Legalists are the most appropriate choices."

The black-clothed young man's eyes flashed a sharp look, and he said: "In troubled times, only by letting those who have evil intentions know that in this world, they can't do whatever they want, but that laws must be followed and violations must be punished, can the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"Govern the country with heavy punishments?"

"Yes, governing the country with heavy punishments can deter those who have evil intentions." The black-clothed young man said coldly: "This world has been in chaos for too long, and the people have been suffering. If you don't find a way to govern it, I'm afraid that this world will be in chaos."

"I'm glad that you have your own ideas, but no matter what, no matter what way of governing the country is adopted, its fundamental purpose must be to benefit the people and the people of the world."

"Yes, Mr. Ci." The black-clothed young man nodded.

"Since you have been traveling for a whole year, you should return to Zhongzhou as soon as possible. There are many things waiting for you to do in the capital."

The wheels of the oxcart rolled slowly on the dirt road, making a dull and rhythmic sound, as if the pulse of the earth was beating. On both sides of the road, dense trees cast mottled shadows. Occasionally, a breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. Two young men drove the oxcart, swaying on the vast land.
