A Million Survival Laws of the Savior

Although etiquette is not valued in times of war, its existence is also necessary for the stability of a country's dynasty.

A simple example, in ancient times, there were six departments in political institutions, one of which was the Ministry of Rites, which was the ritual of ritual and music, and its existence was equal to that of the other five departments. It is very strict. If the emperor does not abide by the ritual and music system, the Ministry of Rites would dare to read a book on the emperor.

But Kong Zhongni said now that Bai Jue is not required to learn Confucian rites and music. If he wants to learn, he can learn it. If he doesn't want to learn, he can leave the scope of Confucianism and learn other theories.

This is such a strong subversive discourse.

Confucianism puts more emphasis on ritual and music than the legal system, and Confucian scholars do not treat other theories equally.

Because Xunzi learned the legal system and put forward the theory of paying equal attention to ritual and law, he was regarded as a traitor by Confucian scholars for thousands of years. It can be seen that Confucian scholars' respect for ritual and music has reached the point of paranoia.

Now that Confucius said that it is okay not to learn rituals and music, it undoubtedly broke the pillar in the hearts of these students.

But they couldn't refute, and they didn't dare to speak up.

Because the one who said this was Kong Zhongni, their teacher, and a Confucian sage, they are Confucian students, they must respect rituals and music, and they must not be rude to their teachers, otherwise it will violate the teachings.

Bai Jue was also very surprised when he heard Confucius say this. Did this Confucian sage think that benevolence, rituals and music cannot save the world?

"It's not that I doubt the teachings of Confucianism and the opinions of people before the Duke of Zhou, but...time is advancing, like a wheel, and we are fish in the long river of time. We can't go back to the past, we can only go down the river, Everything in the past may not be correct now... Maybe the Confucian benevolence, morality, ritual and music really can't bring this world to an end."

Confucius sighed softly: "Not only the rites and music of Confucianism, but even the theories of hundreds of schools have become insignificant nowadays... This era rejects academics, scholars, and the innovation of knowledge. I think, continue It is also meaningless to insist on sectarianism, it is up to us to choose whether to eventually disappear in obscurity, or to leave a trace in history before disappearing."

The Confucian scholars did not speak, but silently bowed their heads and obeyed the teachings.

Confucius stared at Bai Jue with gentle eyes, as if looking at the future: "Son, would you like to join me?"

After Bai Jue thought about it, he asked a very practical question.

"Do you include food and lodging?"

……

About a day later, the Confucian group returned to the Unknown Academy.

Confucius pioneered teaching without discrimination, and he is undoubtedly the leader of the way of teaching. He once opened private schools all over the land of China a hundred years ago, but now the academy where he lives seems deserted.

After this day's exchange, Bai Jue asked Meng Ke about many things that were different from the history he knew.

Speaking of Meng Ke, when she first learned her name, Bai Jue was secretly taken aback. When talking about Confucianism, everyone thought of the name of Confucius and Mencius, which shows how well-known she is.

Now that I asked the girl's name, I realized that this is the famous Mencius in later generations.

Although Bai Jue met Meng Ke once in Yanjing, he didn't know who she was at the time.

For a short while, this girl-like young lady next door was not connected with the saint in fluttering white clothes in later generations.

Meng Ke seemed to be an acquaintance.

It may be because there are few Confucian scholars who are her age, so she is very warm and caring towards Bai Jue.

Along the way, she chirped like a sparrow and said everything she knew in one go.

For example, Confucius is over [-] years old, Yan Hui is over [-] years old, and besides her, the youngest Confucian scholars here are at least [-] years old. They study and practice Qi, and they may live forever. It's rather strange.

Bai Jue was slightly surprised by their actual ages, and then put the issue in a more important place.

What he cared more about was Meng Ke's statement that there are no more scholars in the world.

In the original Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, as the war continued, various theories were vigorously developed.

Nine out of a hundred schools of thought are prominent schools, namely Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Mohism, Strategies, Miscellaneous Schools and Legalism.

Among them, Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism are the most prominent.

Throughout the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, with the development of various theories, it was basically a carnival for this group of scholars. They walked among the countries, and the various schools of thought made the pool of water even more turbid.

The Mohist giant led the Mohist people to quell the disputes, the strategists lobbied the countries with their iron mouths, and engaged in a combination of vertical and horizontal strife, the Taoist said that they should rule by doing nothing, and they studied the life of Taoists by themselves. In fact, the bird does not do anything.

But now?

The Spring and Autumn Period is over, and the Warring States Period has passed for a hundred years. The war is fierce, but there are no scholars.

Scholars are like rare protected animals, but there are fewer and fewer. The glory of the various schools of thought is gone, and even the theory that was at its peak has disappeared. It is not known whether there are any inheritors left behind.

The reason is that six of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period no longer need theories or the strategies of scholars. What they need is power, absolute power.

Where does this power come from.

From God.

At night about a hundred years ago, the capitals of the Six Kingdoms were shrouded in a strange light, which awakened the sleeping kings.

The kings seemed to have heard the apocalypse, and they didn't believe it at first, but as the battle became tighter, the kings who had suffered defeats on the battlefield chose to listen to the words of the gods and held a ceremony to worship the gods.

During the ceremony, the celestial phenomena changed drastically, and the invading army got lost in the ten-mile battlefield and returned without success.

And so on for the next seven days.

In the next hundred years, as the war continued to escalate, the kings of the six countries more or less held ceremonies to pray for the power of the gods, and every time the gods responded.

They have gradually shown the boundless power of the gods since they called the wind and rain. As long as they offer enough tributes, they can even summon legions from other worlds. The city was wiped off the map, and then the Qin people stuck to the border and built walls, and the iron cavalry dared not step out.

Headed by the kings of the six countries, the atmosphere of worshiping gods has been spreading for a hundred years. Even the people believe that the gods of various countries are their patron saints. As long as they worship the gods, the country can be stable.

student?theory?no need at all...

All that is needed is power, more powerful power, enough to unify the world.
