Cold sweat dripped down Zhang Ying's head. Zhang Ying was certainly not stupid to be able to sit here, but because he was too smart, he made some "smart mistakes" - Gongsun Wushang's performance just now was undoubtedly wonderful, and it seemed to show the difference between the two laws.
But Zhang Ying understood better that there were some things he could not say - saying them was very dangerous; and not saying them seemed to be not an option either.
In this torment, he sweated profusely and his face changed from rosy to pale and then to sallow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Everyone present was a smart person and understood it at a glance. Zhang Ying obviously understood it, but there were some words that he couldn't seem to say.
Finally, Gongsun Wushang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have not yet finished answering the question Zhang Ying asked. I will continue."
"Okay." Emperor Liu said with some emotion.
Gongsun Wushang stood in the center of the banquet and spoke eloquently: "What I just showed was not only the law, but also the political situation of Anyang and the State of Liu.
First, let’s talk about the two night-shining pearls, which represent interests.
Liu Guo, there is only one interest, and everyone is fighting for one interest, so conflicts will naturally occur. Why do reforms in general countries fail? Because the interests have not changed at all, and the social foundation has not changed. Such reforms will only cause chaos in the past order, and eventually it will be out of control.
But Anyang is not like this. Anyang’s greatest success is the creation of new interests. It created new interests without shaking the existing interests, and it is an interest that everyone can pursue. Around the new interests, Anyang has established new rules.
Another point is that the foundation of this benefit has long been controlled by the wise king; or in other words, this benefit is actually the wise king's own benefit. The wise king hides in the dark! But the wise king is willing to share the benefits with everyone!
With this premise, let’s talk about the laws of the two countries.
The law in Anyang stipulates what people cannot do and guides people to actively pursue their own interests. Those who do not like to pursue new interests can still stick to their old interests, and it is legal.
However, the laws of the Liu Kingdom stipulated that everyone could only do this, and there was no other choice.
Anyang's laws provide a square for everyone to dance freely.
However, the laws of the Liu Kingdom are like a hook, hooking everyone towards a terrifying future!
Living according to Anyang's laws, whether success or failure, is a personal problem. People will not resent the country, but will only summarize their own problems.
If you live according to the laws of the Liu Kingdom, you will have nothing regardless of success or failure, and everyone will resent the country and the ruling class.
The essence of law is fairness, but the law of Anyang is truly fair, everyone pursues interests, happiness and freedom together. In contrast, the law of Liu State is that everyone suffers together; in the face of power, the people dare not speak out.
It is well known that the laws in Anyang are full of loopholes. But why is Anyang governed so well? Because it is a real legal network, a net that is not leaky!
There are almost no loopholes in the laws of the Liu Kingdom, because it is a sling, and everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope! "
After Gongsun Wushang finished speaking, the banquet fell silent. Gongsun Wushang slowly walked back to his seat and drank by himself.
