Chapter 179 Nursery Rhymes (Part 2)(1/2)
"Why don't Master Ju say?" Xunqiu stared at Ju Zizhou with his eyes.
The news that the Qin army destroyed South Korea came, and after everyone circulated it, everyone was shocked.
The news is accompanied by the news that the Qin King Zheng used Qin law to judge the killing of the Han King and the Korean nobles, which is a major event for anyone.
Among them, the most uneasy ones are Xunzi and Ju Zizhou.
Xunzi's horror was that he truly realized that killing a king with law is completely different from directly killing a king.
——A person being beaten by others is different from a person being beaten by others’ property.
A king is beaten up, which is completely different from a king stealing other people's property.
This is especially true when it comes to law.
A king was killed because of defeat in the war. That is the norm in the world.
It is the proper meaning of destroying a country.
The king of a country that is destroyed, both life and death are kings.
But the king who was tried and killed by law was not killed as a "king".
His main identity is a criminal.
The identity of a criminal even outweighs the identity of a "king".
This means that the orthodoxy of the law is greater than the orthodoxy of the king.
It also means that as the King of Qin, Qin, has made his choice.
He has already made a separation from the identity of the king of the country who is the same as the "King of Han".
In the most cruel form, it denies the highest status of the past "king".
After that, a seed will be planted in the heart of those who know about this.
One seed whose law is greater than that of the king!
The "laws and the ancient kings" that Confucianism emphasizes.
It means to learn from the kings of the past.
On the one hand, we should be biased against the present and establish an insurmountable moral idol.
On the other hand, it is also to talk about the supremacy of the king.
As long as you are king and as long as you are morally noble, you will be the object of learning for everyone in the future and the source of all methods.
Even if people in later generations get married, have children, name them, or even drink a bowl of porridge, they will learn from you.
Their rules and regulations of life - laws - naturally come from your political attitude.
The law must be far smaller than the king.
How to become a king is a problem in the bloodline, and how to be morally noble must be judged by the "scholar".
This is the view of a conservative school in Confucianism.
It is something Xunzi has always criticized.
Xunzi won many battles, but he could not really destroy the Confucian situation.
Because this is the root of Confucianism.
The Qin Wangzheng's approach allowed him to see a new kind of hope.
That is, Dharma is greater than King.
To be more precise, it is law, independent of the king.
The ruler may have the power to enforce the law, but the power to enact the law...
wrong!
Xunzi thought for a while and felt that it was still inappropriate.
If the ruler is asked to have the power to enforce the law, then the power to formulate laws and regulations will not seem to be able to truly change too many things...
No, probably...
If virtue is higher than desire, then all laws will be fulfilled.
The Holy King's House...
Xunqiu thought about this and found that Ju Zizhou was even more surprised and panicked than himself.
He was a little curious.
A slight movement in my heart.
Ju Zizhou was the senior brother of King Zheng of Qin, and the principles they learned should be consistent with the governing philosophy.
They should have communicated with big things like killing a king. Why is Ju Zizhou so panicked?
Thinking of this, Xunqiu stared at her eyes and asked, "Why don't Master Ju say?"
Ju Zizhou's situation was in chaos at this time.
In theory, Ying Zheng should not do this.
This is too contrary to the righteousness taught by Ju Zizhou!
Ju Zizhou has always felt that Ying Zheng was always under his control.
Even if this child, whose personal intelligence is far higher than that of himself, finds his own flaws, it is impossible to see through his identity as a future generation.
Even so, Ju Zizhou was just surprised, just incredible, and just felt that this child was a little smart, maybe he was the kind of genius he had seen.
If you are a genius, what can you do?
The initial theoretical deletion from mistakes and the mechanized materialistic dialectics he showed will lead him to a "step-by-step" path.
This path cannot be broken by the so-called personal intelligence.
Once he goes on, even if he is indulging in material desires, even if he is addicted to power, even if he wants to pursue eternal life like a moon in the water, he will definitely continue to move forward firmly.
Regardless of whether there is Ju Zizhou or not, it will be the same!
Can……
But……
At this moment, all Ju Zizhou's plans were broken.
This is not right!
Something is so wrong!
Ju Zizhou could not see through Ying Zheng a long time ago.
At this time, Ju Zizhou knew that Ying Zheng was trying to kill King Han, and Ju Zizhou could not even understand what purpose Ying Zheng did this.
He closed his eyes and couldn't say a word.
All minds are confused.
Xunzi asked, and Ju Zizhou was just angry.
Disaster and confusion turn into anger.
"What did Master Xun see?" Ju Zizhou asked.
When Xunzi saw Ju Zizhou's emotions were out of control, he was not angry but happy.
"I see what Mr. Ju sees!"
"What the Qin King did and what I saw is that the law is greater than the king, and the holy king and the law are also walking together!"
Using one person's prestige to drive the people to judge and kill another person is emotional, emotional, and less legal.
It is even less legal to judge and kill another king as a king, rather than depriving him of his identity as a king.
Normally, he should first deprive him of his "king identity" for the crime he committed, and then kill him in a white life.
In this way, sin can be separated from the "identity" of the criminal, and at the same time, the majesty of the "King of Qin" who is of the same level and the same identity as him.
Xunzi's explanation is based on a moral explanation.
It is also an explanation of the majesty, sacredness and orthodoxy of the "king".
Ju Zizhou had no intention of having a verbal dispute with him at this time.
"Has Master Xun entered the dark room?"
"What does Master Ju mean?"
"Iron house and dark room, people sleep in it."
"After a long time I feel it's black and cold."
"If there are so many people who are aware of it, they may wake up, and then there is a possibility that this iron room will be broken, right?"
"Although one person cannot beat it, when a person wakes up, is it really impossible for it to be broken at all?"
To be continued...
