Chapter 701 What is Tao?

Regarding the inheritance of the master's teachings, no one of the disciples of the hundred schools is willing to admit defeat. Once they admit defeat, it means that their sect can't survive, and it also means that they have not realized the great principles of the ancestors, which is embarrassing the ancestors' ancestors.

As more and more such things are happening, the controversy among the hundreds of schools of thought is that the struggle between the hundreds of schools of thought is getting more and more powerful. The Confucian and Legal sects do not give in to each other. Now that magic is prevailing, the other sects will not stop, but they are all suppressed.

The reason why the Legalists gained the upper hand was due to their understanding of the way of heaven.

Legalists believe that all things are in the Tao, man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. In other words, all things in the world, including human development, have laws to follow and laws to follow. Therefore, as long as farmers are restricted from farming, merchants are engaged in business, soldiers fight, emperors govern the country, everyone follows their own ways, this is in line with the most basic laws of the stable development of all things in the world. Only by using strict laws to restrain everyone, from birth to death, everything acts according to the law, can the world not be confused.

From the beginning of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, humans began to stipulate various laws, and humans gradually had rules, and with the constraints of various rules, the human moral system was gradually established. The former rude and barbaric power and domineering beast-like power and domineering gradually became moral and etiquette that had a unified understanding of the superiors and inferiors, courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame.

The Legalists are not a new sect, but a very ancient sect. The disciples of the Legalists studied the development of mankind and therefore came to a conclusion that the heavens do not change their normality and the earth do not change their principles. Only by following the inherent laws of heaven and earth and promoting and implementing these laws in the form of written regulations can humans conform to the laws of development of heaven and earth and finally find the end of the way to reach the road.

But having Dharma alone is not enough. How can someone disrespect the Dharma?

Therefore, there is a technique, and technique is an implementation measure, but it is not enough to have technique alone, because catching someone who violates the law and punishes it will not be completely satisfactory. Why punish me?

So there is another trend. The so-called trend is propaganda and promotion, so that people can understand the law and abide by the law. If they violate the law, they will be punished according to the law, and have achieved the goal of convincing the offenders.

Law has existed since ancient times, but theories of art and momentum were born relatively late and did not appear until the Spring and Autumn Period. Laws were supported by art and momentum. After the continuous integration of disciples of the Legalists, a complete set of Legal theories was finally formed. This theory was born in the Qin and Jin areas. Everyone talked about law in the world, and only Qin could help it achieve great success. It was precisely because the Qin State attached great importance to the rule of magic and the powerful legal constraints that the people could do their own ways and obtain the results needed by the Legalists, and also allowed the kings of Qin to have the benefits of governing the country by magic. Therefore, the Legalists' current status in the Qin Dynasty was unbreakable.

The previous kings of Qin believed that magic was the only way to allow Qin to finally reach the great road, and destroying the six kingdoms and unifying the world made Qin Shihuang even more confirm that magic was the only guarantee for Qin to be stable and inherited forever.

The beginning of the Moral Sutra says: Tao can be told, it is extraordinary, it is a name that can be named, and it is extraordinary.

There are many different opinions on what Tao is, and no one knows. They can only understand it but not express it. They understand it, and they will not understand it even if they don’t understand it. However, spells have indeed achieved the goal of making the country strong. In other words, spells may be the closest method of governing the country to Tao.

Moreover, even after thousands of years of inheritance, magic has gradually become the common understanding of all human civilizations, and magic has once again become a good strategy for governing and strengthening the country.

However, after the current Qin Dynasty experienced the prosperity of various schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to different understandings of Tao, the disciples of the people of the people did not agree with the concept of the Legalists. This led to the bustling attacks of the Legalists today, and even attacking not only the Legalists, but other sects that were not in line with their own ideas were all within the range of attacks, and they splashed a halo to attack all evildoers who were dissatisfied with their own sects.

"This theory of matter is very novel and unique, different from the theories of all schools of thought. Zhang Cang believes that as long as you can find such a special power between heaven and earth, you may be able to understand the origin of the great way. Perhaps this is the theoretical basis of the scientific school of Qinghehou..." An Yuliang said with a serious expression.

When it comes to Qinghe Hou, the whole carriage is silent in an instant.

Everyone's eyes all appeared in front of him, and then they instantly thought of the ever-changing changes in Xianyang today. The newspapers, the arts colleges, the carriages that were galloping under their feet, and many new things. The unreal changes that everyone felt were caused by this young man.

"What school is science? The Queen of Qinghe is a disciple of the immortal family. Is science the knowledge of the immortal family?" a scholar murmured to himself.

"No, I think science is the principle of studying things, but all things return to the root. If any knowledge is studied deep, it will still understand the great way..."

"How could it be a study of things? Turning mud into stone must be a magical art. Are the divine thunder and fireworks and Taiyi divine thunder also a technique of studying things? Don't you believe it?" Another scholar immediately retorted.

After the two said this, the carriage immediately became noisy again. Some agreed with the investigation of things, some agreed with the magic of immortality, and some immediately blamed each other and even began to roll up their sleeves with a cold look.

"You are all well-known people in Xianyang, why are you so anxious? The achievements of the Academy of Sciences are obvious to all. Whether it is investigating things or immortal arts, we are all laymen. Knowing what you know, and not knowing what you don't know is that you know. How can you argue with ignorance? Do you think that your wisdom and knowledge are stronger than the Marquis of Qinghe?" An Yuliang stood up and scolded angrily.

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the whole carriage was instantly quiet, and all the scholars stopped talking with shame.

If there were no Qinghe Marquis, there would be no happy life for this group of people now. At present, all the disciples in the world are proud to be able to enter newspapers and literary colleges. Even if they are just copying clerks, now walking on the streets of Xianyang, with the badges of the History Museum of the School of Literature or other departments hanging on their chests, they would immediately raise their chests and look up and think that they are superior. Although there is no official title, all ordinary officials would bow to each other when they meet, let alone those rich and wealthy merchants who treat them as guests as guests, and are willing to spend a lot of money to invite food and drink.

And the one who brought them all these changes was Qinghe Hou.

"Yu Liang Gong forgives his fault, and we know that we are wrong!" Many scholars bowed to An Yu Liang and admit their mistakes.

"Although the Marquis of Qinghe is young, we can only look back on what we do throughout our lives. Marquis of Qinghe once told me that our disciples of hundreds of families are busy in Xianyang all day long. They can only talk big, but they are useless to the country and the people. They need to be down-to-earth and serious. They should be careful and think more about what they have learned to use. Even if they cannot be in the court to assist His Majesty in governing the country, they can still do things within their ability for merchants and civilians. People from the Academy of Sciences, School of Engineering, School of Agricultural, and Health Centers are all diligent in studying and building roads, building bridges, developing equipment, and planting.

Animal Husbandry and researching prescriptions. Our Literature College not only has the largest number of people, but also gathers famous scholars with the highest knowledge of the Qin Dynasty. However, he can only criticize all day long. Not only is it unwise, but also stupid. As the vice president of the Literature College, I met with colleagues from other colleges, and felt that my face was dull. Could you forget the change in Li Xiang burning books that day? If it weren’t for the Qinghe Hou’s righteousness, how could we have the honor of today? If it were still so ungrateful, and if it continued like this, who could guarantee that there would be no difficulty in burning books again? The Qinghe Hou could help us once, could it help us again? Could you help us again? Do you intend to be a rotten tree? "

An Yuliang's words became even more harsh. He was angry that he did not fight for his misfortune. The carriage continued to gallop forward, but everyone in the carriage blushed and dared not say anything anymore.

The carriage quickly entered a forest along the Wei River.

The tall and majestic gate of the School of Literature stands quietly among the tall trees. At this time, winter is gone and spring is coming, and the whole forest has begun to reveal a touch of tender yellow color.

The carriage stopped, and everyone got out quietly one by one, standing in the open space in front of the door. An Yuliang looked up at the big words of the Daqin Literature Academy on the lintel, and then quietly stared at a couplet on the thick gate post. After a long silence, he bowed deeply to the gate. The group of scholars following him quickly bowed respectfully and bowed respectfully.

"To carry forward the unique knowledge of the saints and to bring peace to the ages, I hope you will remember the expectations of Qinghe Marquis for us!" An Yuliang turned around and looked at the many scholars behind him who were coming out of the academy to leave by car and said lightly.

"We will keep in mind the teachings of Yuliang Gong!" Everyone bowed in unison.

Chen Xu naturally didn't know what happened in Xianyang, and he didn't care even if he knew it.

Many things are constantly changing under his subtle influence. Whether it is newspapers or literary colleges, they are his means to appease the disciples of hundreds of schools. As time goes by, many folk ideas will definitely begin to change in the direction he expected. This is the general trend, no one can stop it, and even the emperor cannot stop it.
