169 The idea of ??governing the country

...

At the intersection of the Gorges in the suburbs of Meihe River, Liu Ce and Huangfu Zhai stood side by side on a high place, looking at the endless winding roads that stretched for hundreds of miles in the distance, and from time to time, they seemed to be discussing something...

Liu Ce wrapped his hands around his chest, stared at the distance with his tiger eyes, frowned between his forehead and eyebrows, and after a long time he spoke, "Mr. Huangfu, your ability really opened my eyes to the military governor. Three thousand baggage auxiliary soldiers, he could shake the surging offensive of 80,000 thieves. This ability is definitely not something that ordinary people can do..."

When Huangfu Zhai heard this, he stopped wiping the mirror and said to Liu Ce calmly: "Mr. Military Governor, are you praising me? If so, please save me. If you don't have the ability to command such a strong willed army under the Military Governor, it's better to praise them for their bravery."

"Ha..." Liu Ce chuckled and said again, "Mr. Huangfu, I want to ask you, now Duan Hong has been captured, and the gorge in front of me leads to two places, one on Gaoyang and the other on Wuliang Town. According to Mr., where should I take first?"

Huangfu Zhai replied: "No matter where you take it first, the situation in Heyuan is under the control of the Military Supervisor. The key question is that the Military Supervisor should think about how to calm down the hearts of the people of Heyuan..."

"The people's heart?" Liu Ce sang softly, then began to close his eyes and ponder. When he opened his eyes, he sighed, "The most difficult thing in the world is the people's heart. When the people are suffering from hard food, a mouthful of thick porridge can make them cry.

But after the most basic food and clothing season, more people will start to seek, and gradually transition from food, rice, oil and salt to the pursuit of material benefits. When life begins to become rich, they are often unwilling to pay what they have gained, but they just want to gain more benefits.

These interests have the pursuit of rights and spiritual pursuits. If a person in power is not careful, the people who have finally established it will collapse instantly, and even turn against each other for this. It is difficult..."

Huangfu Zhai was slightly stunned when he heard this and said, "Mr. Military Governor, since you have this awareness, it means that you can definitely handle the issue of people's hearts. As you said, the people's hearts are the most difficult to control, but one thing is eternal, that is, stable governance,

Especially at this moment, what the people need is a stable land that can live and work in peace and stability, and avoid being affected by war. Even if it is temporary hypocritical peace, it is worth it.

Just like the military governor dealing with the government affairs of Zhuozhou, it is a reason to keep up with the Ling Pei family and choose to cooperate. In that situation and situation, it is really admirable to take advantage of the greed of the scholars' interests to stabilize the situation in Zhuozhou. I believe that the military governor will also properly handle the situation in Heyuan.

After all, the real enemy of Heyuan is not the thief, nor Duan Hong, but the real culprit that caused all this. The people's hearts are actually easily controlled by those in power. It depends on whether the military governor did hypocrisy or true kindness..."

After hearing Huangfu Zhai's words, Liu Ce fell into silence again. After a long time, he suddenly asked: "Since it is about governing the country and the people, how dare you ask, sir, which of the schools in the Central Plains do you think is most in line with the concept of governing the country and the people?"

After Huangfu Zhai was silent for a moment, he asked back: "So, I'll ask back, which school do you think is the most in line with your mind's governing philosophy?"

Liu Ce said: "Of course, a hundred schools of thought are prospering and expressing their opinions. Which school can truly bring benefits to the people and the country is naturally given priority to which school..."

Huangfu Zhai said: "Mr. Military Governor, your idea is indeed unique. Although this idea seems very difficult to realize now, once it is implemented, it can promote competition among various schools and bring out a new look.

However, I will say bluntly that if you let it go, it will become the biggest burden for the country and the people over time. Even later, their strength can make the governance that has finally restored peace again and fall into turmoil."

"Um?"

Liu Ce frowned and was stunned when he heard this. He didn't want to relieve the pedantic thoughts of the people. He actually had such a big hidden danger in Huangfu Zhai's mouth?

Huangfu Zhai continued: "Behind every school is the hard work of countless people, their successors will use their best abilities to protect their faith.

If they are left alone and lack supervision, how terrible will they develop over time? What kind of disaster will an ambitious person in the Jieshi School take the opportunity to do it, and what kind of disaster will it bring to the entire country?

There is no dynasty that will last forever, no matter how perfect its system is, it will slowly fall into decline over time. At this time, what causes the dynasty to collapse is often caused by internal factors. Among them, the role of the power of the school behind it is extremely huge, so huge that there is no chance to revive again!”

"I wish to listen to the teacher's teachings..."

Liu Ce's heart was filled with waves. Huangfu Zhai's views were so unique. These words were equivalent to revealing the main reasons for the replacement of dynasties in his previous life. Now, thinking about it, I am still a little naive, but fortunately, it has not been implemented yet, and it is not too late to correct it.

Huangfu Zhai bowed slightly to Liu Ce, and then said, "Mr. Military Governor, in fact, you just need to sort out the advantages and disadvantages of each school and check and balance them, and place them in a suitable position, this problem will be solved.

Confucianism can educate the people, let the people understand etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and how to live in harmony with others, but not by mistake or rely on them. Otherwise, over time, the people under the rule will be fixed in a limited thinking like walking corpse, and will be pedantic and have no inch to make progress, so they can only place them on the etiquette position.

Zonghengxue, the inheritance of Guigu, can be used to communicate with foreign countries and obtain the greatest benefits for the dynasty. However, its control over people's hearts is extremely sensitive and it must not be allowed to enter the high position of the temple. Even if it is reused, it must be strictly supervised and taken care of. After all, Zonghengxue's methods are really disgraceful.

Taoism can be used to restore people by doing nothing, and it can be used to recuperate and recuperate the people. Its advantages lie in peace and easy-going, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so in peacetime and when there is no war outside, Taoism can be used to develop and accumulate the power of the dynasty and let the people under the rule live a prosperous life, but only this is the case. Once the dynasty undergoes drastic changes, it must be abandoned without hesitation and switch to other schools of competence.

Military gentry, the king who dominates the battlefield, I believe that the military governor himself is also a military gentry, so there is no need to talk about the advantages and disadvantages. Just remember that the military gentry can only be used in wars and peace, and cannot be used to govern the country in the temple. Otherwise, the turmoil caused by warlord separatism is extremely terrible!

The school of famous scholars, born and erect, Confucianism, and Taoism, have the advantages of sophistry and conspiracy and calculations, which can bring endless benefits to the sovereign, but they must always prevent him from backlashing. After all, their pursuit of power is a madman who continues to bet on his own and does not hesitate to take his life to gamble."

Listening to Huangfu Zhai's word by word, Liu Ce suddenly realized his eyes and soon had a future political blueprint in his heart. He had a general idea of ​​where the various schools were placed and how to deal with each other.

Huangfu Zhai continued: "In this way, how should each school be treated? I believe that with the ability of the military governor, you will be able to clarify the clues soon. But I still want to remind you that among the many schools, one school must be used as the center of the operation of the dynasty. This school is the Legalist!"

Liu Ce frowned and waited quietly for Huangfu Zhai to continue talking.

Huangfu Zhai said: "Whether in troubled times or prosperous times, the role of the Legalists can be fully reflected, and it can be said to be enduring.

In troubled times, the Legalists can play a role in enriching the country and strengthening the army. In prosperous times, the Legalists can eliminate corruption to the greatest extent, and at the same time make all schools and the people afraid of it and play the greatest role in supervision!

During the heyday of the civil and military achievements of the dynasty, they were often promoted by the Legalists behind the scenes. Once the Legalists decline, the dynasty will inevitably begin to decay. The people do not fear the law, and the country will surely perish.

Of course, the criminal law that the Legalists are too strict must not be implemented in prosperous times. The candidates who are in charge of the Legalists must also be carefully screened and approved by those in power.

Mr. Military Governor, these are some of the shallow and foolish opinions that make you laugh. These principles are easy to say, but in fact, the difficulty in actually starting to be implemented is extremely huge..."

Liu Ce nodded, and he naturally understood what Huangfu Zhai said last time, that is, after all, he still needs to rely on strong strength, otherwise all this would be empty talk...

Thinking of this, a clear light suddenly flashed in Liu Ce's mind, and then he looked at Huangfu Zhai and asked, "Mr. Huangfu, you have talked about so many schools, and it seems that you have missed one. Why not talk about Mohism?"

Huangfu Zhai was stunned when he heard the scene and said slowly: "Mr. Military Governor, please don't mention this school again. Mohism is not suitable for the concept of governing the country at all, and it will only become a burden..."

Liu Ce showed a puzzled expression when he heard this. He clearly heard Huangfu Zhai say this, a hint of trembling in his tone.

Huangfu Zhai said: "Moxuology should have been eliminated by history long ago, and his existence cannot be accepted by the world..."

Liu Ce shook his head: "Mr. Huangfu, you are so bad. Since every school you say is the result of the hard work of generations, why can't Mohism be accepted by the world?"

Huangfu Zhai said: "Mr. Military Governor, the Mohist philosophy should be treated equally regardless of birth, wealth, poverty and humbleness. Don't you think this idea may be realized? Can it be accepted by the rulers of the dynasty?"

Liu Ce said: "How can you know if you haven't tried it? Mr. Huangfu is too pessimistic..."

Huangfu Zhai said: "I tried it, dozens of generations of great men of the Mo family have been working hard for this impossible concept. As a result, everything proved to be futile. Now Mohism has been criticized as a heretic theory. The facts have proved that he cannot establish himself in the world at all.

Moreover, the cruelty of the dark side of the Mohist school is far more terrifying than any school. Such a school should have long since disappeared with history..."

"Haha..." Liu Ce chuckled twice, looking at Huangfu Zhai's eyes full of light, "Sir, are you willing to try again?"

Huangfu Zhai heard the words and wiped the bronze mirror in his hand again, then said, "Mr. Military Governor, you have known your identity for a long time?"

Liu Ce said: "Since you alone lobby and persuade Xiahou Qiong to surrender, this military governor has already doubted it. The subsequent battle at the border fortress has further deepened my doubts about your identity. Of course, the most important thing is when you handed the crossbow to the military governor.

I already know that you are from the Mo family and your status is definitely not low. Otherwise, how could this military governor hand over the military power of the three thousand baggages to you based on his personal preferences?"
