Chapter 97 Premise (The previous chapter should be Chapter 96)
The shogunate is like a palace, and there are also Mingtang, Zhongting, Room, Jiao, etc. Before Xiong Jing summoned, the clan was already quarreling. The hundred schools of thought in Jixia Academy led the world to think about the court. Even if it was not as good as before, the internal debate was still uninterrupted. Whether to use Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Mohism, Yang, or Light and Heavy... The doctors shouted their own opinions and refuted the opinions of others.
The largest number of people is naturally Confucianism. Qi and Lu border, and there are not many Confucian scholars in Qi. Confucian scholar Chunyu Yue also served as a sacrificial tribute in the academy. They are of course also the people who support Chu politics the most. Confucianism has been constantly transforming for hundreds of years because the world is constantly changing. The increasingly harsh overall war has made the people's livelihood worse and worse. The fate of the war is like a mustard of grass, and the hope is that the monarch's benevolence has surpassed the ritual.
'If the world's words do not belong to Yang, they will return to Mo.' The Yang family advocates not to give up a single hair, while the Mo family wants the world to be the same. The former is a proletarian, who believes that instead of putting wealth into war, it is better to not support the so-called "benefits of the world"; the latter is a proletarian people. Instead of fighting for nothing, it is better to love everyone in the world and never conquer. The two families are like their sons and are tired of war.
At this time, the sects were pity for the common people and hated the king. Most of them believed that human nature was good, but nearly a hundred years later, the sects finally discovered that "this generation of people is not good." The people tried every means to escape taxes, labor and conscript, and even the country needed money and lacked money, built cities without servitude, and attacked without soldiers. Xunzi, a Confucian scholar, reversed Mencius's theory of being good and put forward a theory of evil nature such as "the nature of a person is evil, and the good is false."
After entering Qin, Xunzi began to advocate the Legalist politics, praising the Qin State Guizhou: "The people are simple, their voices are not dirty, their submissive, and they are very afraid of the officials and obedient, which is the people of ancient times." Compared with the common people of the six countries of Guandong, especially the common people of Linzi who "play the jiu, drums and zithers, play the piano, fight cocks and dogs, and step on the six brigades". The Qin State Guizhou was not only simple but also respectful. Since then, a branch of Confucianism has merged with the Legalists, opening up the tradition of outside Confucianism and internal law in later generations.
Qi Ru completely disagrees with Xunzi's new Confucianism who is evil in human nature and is based on the king. They still stayed in the previous stage and strongly demanded the king's benevolence. The Chu political system did not seek benevolence. Xiong Jing worshipped Kong Qian as the Grand Tutor, but was already seeking "ritual". This is true "ritual", not the false "ritual" that requires ministers to observe "ritual" but themselves to be free and easy.
Harmony and difference are the pursuit of Confucianism: there are indeed hierarchical nobles and humbleness between people, but nobility must not ignore the life and death of common people just because they are nobles, and kings must not infringe on the interests of nobles just because they are kings. All levels respect each other, and people restrain themselves and restore rituals. This is harmony, and it is also a benevolent government.
As measured by Confucius' Confucianism, the current Chu government is already a Confucian government. The interests of kings, nobles, and common people are all reflected in the "Ancient Dynasty". For Qi, which was completely divided by the upper and lower classes, Chu government is no different from a binder, which can glue more than four million Qi people together.
Among them, this is the Confucianism's idea. They even mentioned the defeat just now, and they also stood on the city wall to watch during the war. The 230,000 Qi army mainly fought with the Chu army for only 50,000 people. The left and right armies either collapsed or fled without fighting. Why is this? Because Qi State is in a state of disagreement, the monarch and ministers are in a state of disagreement, the noble and the low are in a state of disagreement, and the soldiers are in a state of disagreement.
The Confucian scholars were nagging and reading old jokes from hundreds of years ago. The doctors present immediately laughed and then refuted them together. When the refutation was fierce, the messenger came out: "The king asked all the doctors to see you."
Every doctor requested a visit, and Chunyu Yue came just too early. Xiong Jing simply allowed these doctors to visit each other to save trouble. Because he had always been close to Chu, Chunyu Yue thought he could get a separate visit from the King of Chu, but he did not expect that the King of Chu would not give face, and his joy would inevitably dim.
The sun was setting, and the shogunate tent that was established by the Jiashishi seemed a little solemn. The noisy and joyful doctors couldn't help but restrain their words and smiles. After entering the tent, they lowered their heads and bowed deeply and said, "I have seen the king."
"No gift." A childish but calm voice. This was the first time that all doctors came into contact with Xiong Jing. Some bold people couldn't help but look up. A young man in leather suit without a black face sat on the king's mat. On the red and black tables in front of him were piled with stacks of documents on the right, and on the left were feathers, orders and pens. An old temple man, two historians stood beside him. He closed the documents on the desk and looked at him with a clear look.
"Why are you waiting for the visit?" Xiong Jing looked at the doctors in front of him and asked a little consciously.
"Let's wait..." A group of doctors wanted to speak, to promote their own skills of governing the country. Everyone spoke at the same time, and no one could promote it for a while.
"Chunyu Yue, you are the sacrificial wine. You should talk about it first." Xiong Jing pointed out Chunyu Yue's name and asked him to say it first.
"Report to the King:" Chunyu Yue coughed and bowed to Xiong Jing again. "The King is lenient and forgiven the King of Qi in the city. This is the style of King Zhuang, and we admire it more than that. We heard that the King wanted to reform the State of Qi, so we made suggestions."
"The king should practice the art of light and seriousness in the reform of Qi State," as soon as Chunyu Yue finished speaking, the family of Qingzhong spoke first, "Only by practicing the art of light and seriousness can you collect power in Linzi..."
"Irregular!" Xiong Jing was answering Chunyu Yue, and Qingzhong's family suddenly interrupted. The guru immediately scolded and said, "Thu!"
The archer stood in the big tent. When the archer expelled, the archer stepped forward and wanted to expel the person who did not obey etiquette and law from the big tent. When the debate in the academy was urgent, they would even curse. How could there be any etiquette? This person said anxiously: "Defending the people is more important than defending the river. I would like to speak to the king, so why are you wrong?"
"I would like to say rude words, but if you listen to both sides, you will be clear; if you listen to them in a side way, you will be secret. Please forgive your crimes and listen to your words." Chunyu Yue offered a wine in the school palace, stood in the position of the school palace and spoke for this person.
Xiong Jing originally didn't like the light and heavy family. The light and heavy family was like a harvester, harvesting the fruits of merchants and common people again and again. However, no matter how he didn't like the light and heavy family, it was also the light and heavy family of Qi. Since he wanted to reform in Qi, the light and heavy family naturally had the right to make plans. In Qi, the reform in Qi was not dominated by the Chu people but the Qi people. How can we maintain the new policy of reform if we don't do this?
For this reform, the Chu people had sacrificed more than 1,800 people. In the future, in order to safeguard the new reform policy led by the Chu people, how many people would die? The interests of the Chu people are supreme! The core of this interest is the blood of the Chu people and the lives of the Chu people. As long as Qi can prevent it from surrendering to Qin in the future, Xiong Jing does not care about how Qi changes.
Taking a deep breath, Xiong Jing asked Xiang Chunyu Yue: "Is the gift or the profit?"
Whether the gift is heavy or the profit is a big question. In modern terms, is the process important or the result important? Just six words made Chunyu Yue think for a long time, and he had to say: "The gift is heavy."
"Zhu." Xiong Jing didn't even look at it, and said 杨杨. The gentleman was immediately driven out by the soldiers of the throne, and the doctors in the tent became more and more breathing.
"Are you all the reason for the reform of your visits to the unspoken people?" Xiong Jing looked at everyone.
Jixia Academy became famous in later generations. Many of the classics they wrote were destroyed after two thousand years. It was not until the west wind spread east in modern times that the pre-Qin hundred schools were revived by scholars. This was the most brilliant moment for the flowers of China and the most free thoughts of scholars in the world. Although, after these gorgeous flowers, the city was filled with bones of nobles and common people.
Only when rituals collapse and music are broken can a hundred schools of thought contend, but when rituals collapse and music are broken, killing people can fill the city and the wilderness. The ideal of the philosophers is to re-establish order in the world, or to save the nations from destruction. Confucianism was to re-establish the system of etiquette and law, so Confucius traveled around the nations; Legalists relied on the present, "In ancient times, they competed for morality, the Middle Ages, and the current struggled for strength."
Seeking truth from facts and using rationality to understand. The Legalists are not wrong. This is indeed the ultimate solution to stop the war in the world. But in terms of emotion, to make Xiong Jing and even all the people of Chu become obedient to Qianshou who only know how to farm and fight, and to make a profit, it is better to give the enemy the most violent blow and choose to die gloriously.
Looking at the doctors in front of him, Xiong Jing unconsciously thought of the various philosophers, and from the various philosophers, the world where wars continue, and finally the six kingdoms that are now in danger, and the Chu people who are "will be subdued after having the Tao, and the people who are not the Tao will be strong after not having the Tao."
The promise of the doctors interrupted his thoughts, and he smiled slightly: "Since we came for reform, we should know that reform is proposed before. Qi is the Qi State of Tian's clan and Qi State of Qi, so the reform should have the Tian's clans, and more than four million Qi people to settle it. Not flattery, the Ying army is just urging and supervising the reform, not presiding over the reform. If the reform is completed, the Ying army will immediately withdraw from Qi State and not occupy an inch of land."
"This is a kind and righteous teacher!" Chunyu Yue couldn't help but praise him. He thought that the Chu State would take this opportunity to take many benefits to Qi, such as cities and gold. Who would like to hear Xiong Jing's meaning? Chu State would want nothing.
"From tomorrow, all expenses of Ying's army will be the responsibility of Qi." Xiong Jing said seriously. The Chu army would consume 80 tons (6,000 stones) of millet and beans every day. If the debate on the reform lasted for a long time, the food and fodder and expenses would be extremely large.
"I heard that someone wanted to go to Chu but drove north, and I didn't know the geography. Today, Qin's power to swallow the six kingdoms was fully demonstrated. The King of Qi was blocked by the Later Victory, fearing Qin like a tiger, and he broke his word and became fat. Therefore, the reforms should know the general trend of the world. Buying Qi did not force Qi to form an alliance with Chu and Zhao to resist Qin. However, if Qi still favored Qin, did not compete with Qin, and did not fight with other countries and died in Qin, and would not be destroyed in Chu today."
The requirements for reform were so simple that the doctors present could not believe it, but the two historians around Xiong Jing were recording, and they turned to believe it. The King of Chu values etiquette but not profit, and he has no jokes, so this should be true.
