Li's temper is explosive. Hearing the rumors, he immediately spit out, "Bah! What a dog!"
Qin Lingyun coughed, and winked at his sister-in-law again, reminding her that the emperor was here, and even if he beat the dog, he had to look at the master. Of course, if the emperor is not there, she can scold whatever she wants. In the final analysis, his perception of Ye Jieyu was also very bad. He swayed when he walked, as if he would faint at any time, and when he talked about him, he didn't see any refreshing at all. Compared with Guan Suyi, he was really a genius one on the ground. However, the emperor liked it, and there was no room for others to talk about it.
Guan Suyi patted the back of Li's hand lightly, and said in a gentle and soothing tone, "Sister, don't be angry, but it was just bitten by a dog, we don't need to bite back." Because there is naturally a stick to deal with her.
Qin Lingyun spit out a mouthful of hot tea with a "pop". Unexpectedly, Guan Suyi's words were more poisonous than Li's, so he could not help but go to see the emperor.
Emperor Shengyuan was equally astonished, not knowing how to react. No matter how Ye Jieyu indulges her family, she is nominally his concubine, but now she is compared to a dog. Even if Mrs. Zhenbeihou has a prominent background, she must be charged with slandering the royal family. However, he couldn't get angry, and after thinking about it again and again, he also laughed in a low voice.
Li Shi originally wanted to laugh, but because the True God was here, he had to endure it. Now that he saw the True God, he couldn't help laughing, so he smiled and praised, "Yes, yes, there is absolutely no reason to compete with animals."
It was suggested that Ye Jieyu was a dog, and when she came to you, she became a beast. You are really capable! Qin Lingyun was delighted by his sister-in-law's carelessness and straightforwardness. For fear that the emperor would be annoyed, he glanced at his expression again and again, but saw that he was staring at Mrs. Zhenbei Hou's power fence floating in the wind, wondering what he was thinking.
Fortunately, the gongs and drums sounded in unison downstairs, and the battle of words was imminent, which interrupted the discussion. Xu Guangzhi and his opponent walked onto the high platform covered with the red carpet together, picked up the brush, and each wrote the word - rule of law, rule of benevolence.
"After fighting for nine days, I finally talked about the fundamentals of Confucianism and Law. Presumably the answer to this question, from the lord of the state to the common people, has concerns in his heart, but he is also confused." Guan Suyi raised his hands and clapped his hands lightly. .
"Guess who will win?" Qin Lingyun took out a Buddha bead, then pointed to the chair beside him, and put on a "generous" demeanor, "Hunnar, you don't have to be rigid when you walk outside, just sit."
"Thank you, Master." Emperor Shengyuan clasped his fists in a dignified manner, then sat down next to Mrs. Zhenbeihou and asked, "What does this question mean?"
"Government means governing the country. Legalism advocates severe punishment and law, Confucianism advocates benevolence and compassion, one is tight and one is loose, one is strict and one is lenient, and which is better or worse, who can lead the state to prosperity, this is the The focus of the rivalry between Legalism and Confucianism. In troubled times, we should use heavy code, and in prosperous times, we should exercise benevolent governance. However, just after the turbulent times of Wei State, the prosperous times have not been heard, and there is a need for a pulse standard between strict law and generosity. Ordinary people have no right to decide the issues that the rulers need to consider, and it is even more difficult to reach them. But the people of Lebanon have suffered enough from the war and are naturally more inclined to live a stable and peaceful life. Therefore, their desire for benevolent governance and the support of the wise Lord have never been higher. Putting aside the advantage of speaking, from a practical point of view and the aspirations of the people, Xu Guangzhi should have won a big victory."
"Well said!" Kunal praised in awkward elegant words.
"Do you understand?" Guan Suyi likes to talk to Kunal very much, just because he knows only a little about the culture of the Central Plains, in front of her, he is like that ignorant child. Babies are always soft-hearted.
"I understand seven or eight points, and I have been studying hard recently." Emperor Shengyuan scratched his head with a simple and honest expression.
Qin Lingyun and Mrs. Li covered their faces with their hands, not daring to look at His Majesty's stupid appearance, for fear that they would be killed and silenced when they returned.
However, Guan Suyi didn't notice, and chuckled, "As long as you have the heart to study, it's never too late to start working hard. If you don't understand anything in your daily life, you can ask me about it."
"Mrs. Xie!" Emperor Sheng Yuan's cheeks flushed, his eyes sparkling, as if he was very happy. In fact, however, he was indeed very happy. Guan Suyi's casual words are better than Mr. Guan's words all day long, and the more he thinks about it, the more interesting it becomes.
Off the stage, Xu Guangzhi had the upper hand as soon as he arrived, and the onlookers nodded in agreement. Guan Suyi stared at the man's arrogant face, and sneered, "Confucianism is like a child's cooking show. It looks decent, but it is difficult to become a climate after all."
Qin Lingyun looked at her in amazement, as if she was frightened by her behavior. You must know that this noble master is the granddaughter of the emperor. Who is the emperor? The great master of the Confucian school, the master taught by his old man, said that Confucianism is like a child's cooking show, and if others hear it, the fun will be great.
There were a lot of people on the second floor, but it was precisely because of the hustle and bustle that Guan Suyi dared to speak freely. Everyone is talking, applauding, clasping their hands, who has time to listen to what others have to say? Besides, Qin Lingyun, the dignified Marquis of the West, is sitting here, and there are many guards holding the hilt of the sword to be on guard. Who has the courage to come close
After being suffocated for a lifetime, Guan Suyi simply opened her mind, what she wanted to do, what she wanted to say, or else would not waste the opportunity to live again, would she be worthy of pity to the gods and Buddhas? She smiled sarcastically and continued, "To be successful is to help the whole world, and to be poor is to be alone. This is the standard of life for Confucian scholars. It can be seen that they are not disgusted with being an official, and they are even actively seeking positions. However, Confucius traveled around. For decades, he devoted his whole life to preaching, teaching and dispelling doubts, intending to apply his own ideas to governing the country. But he only served as an official once in his life, that is, from the ninth to thirteen years of Lu Dinggong. Go without a hat, why is that?"
"Why?"
The big foreigner looked at him eagerly, which made Guan Suyi chuckle, "Because his teachings are out of date, he can cultivate his own family, but it is difficult to govern the country and the world. The disciple asked to learn the crops, and the master said that he should use the crops, so over time, many Confucian scholars He is proud of his studies and ashamed of his work. When he meets a soldier who is fleeing from battle, and hears that the other party is going to go home to do his filial piety and serve his parents, he not only does not pursue criminal responsibility, but praises him greatly. Too many, and eventually no one at the border can resist the external regret. If you don’t work, how can you eat? If you don’t defend against the enemy, how can you live? No emperor dares to use such an official, and he is not afraid that in the past three or five years, the country will be ruled into a red land, and The streets are full of Confucian scholars who are just as good, and when confronted with the enemy or working, they all run away with a hula-la, euphemistically saying that they go home and do their filial piety, what do they say?”
Emperor Shengyuan nodded in agreement.
Guan Suyi continued, "To be able to help the poor in the world is to be good at yourself. The inferiority of Confucian scholars has long been hidden in this philosophical saying. The world is accessible and the Lord is wise, so Confucian students all ran out to become officials; This is their way of life, which is called 'being wise and protecting oneself, advancing and retreating freely'. However, if everyone is like them, they only care about protecting themselves, regardless of the world, and wars are chaotic. How to calm down, how to unify the country, how to become prosperous in politics, how to live a stable life? It is precisely because there are thousands of righteous people who have stepped forward, soldiers who poured their blood and thrown their heads, farmers who work hard, and village women who pick mulberry and grow hemp. , and even slaughtering the heroes all over the city, only then did the princes perish, the war ceased, and the Wei kingdom was established, so that we now have a peaceful and stable life."
"Okay, well said!" Qin Lingyun raised his wine glass and laughed happily, "Just relying on your words, let's make a fool of yourself! Confucian children say it nicely, but in fact they are cowardly and incompetent, have no responsibility, and love them very much. Fighting for power and profit, one or two is a hypocrite."
Emperor Shengyuan was fascinated, and was chewing these words slowly, but he heard Guan Suyi coldly said, "Master Hou, don't want to overturn a boat with a single pole. Although the Confucian school is rich in hypocrites, there are also those who really care about the country and the people. Righteous people, such as my grandfather and father." Dipping a little tea to moisten her throat, she suddenly changed her words, "On equality and clarity, Confucianism is not as good as Legalism, when it comes to loving the world, Confucianism is not as good as Moism, when it comes to defending the country, Confucianism is not as good as Military school... But there is one point in Confucianism, which is beyond the reach of the hundreds of schools of thought, and it is also the most respected by the emperor, and this alone is enough to make him make the decision to 'prove the Confucian family and suppress the hundreds of schools'."
"Oh, which point?" Emperor Shengyuan breathed a little, and the person got closer, staring at the woman who couldn't see her face with burning eyes.
"If teaching is the art of the emperor, then Confucianism is the art of controlling the people, or the art of ignoring the people is more appropriate. Confucianism divides people into three, six, and nine classes, and is bound by clan etiquette, benevolence, righteousness, and morality. Generosity and fraternity are domesticated, and advocate filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and modesty. Over time, sons do not dare to violate their fathers, wives do not dare to violate their husbands, commoners do not dare to violate their heirs, young children do not dare to violate elders, inferiors do not dare to violate superiors, and ministers do not. Dare to offend the monarch, then the four seas will be pacified, and the family and country will be peaceful. On the other hand, the legalists advocate that they should be lured by profit, driven by harm, and suppressed by power. I can't believe the king, and there is always suspicion. As time goes by, the king will be oppressed by tyranny and government, and his subordinates will retaliate with rebellion. It is easy to backlash. The centralization of the monarchy is the core of Legalist thought, and it is precisely its impermanent drawback. If you put on the Confucian cloak of benevolence, that "the ruler is light on the people and the people are precious", you will be able to win the hearts and minds of the people and stabilize the society. Therefore, whether it is the rule of law or the Benevolent governance is too one-sided, and the fusion of the two, supplemented by external Confucianism and internal law, is the best policy for governing the country.”
Emperor Sheng Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and his sharp eyes wished that he could burn the black gauze through a big hole, so that he could see the woman's expression at this moment. In just a few words, she pierced through his thoughts, plans, and actions. Foreign Confucianism and internal law, word for word. This is exactly the way to govern the country that he has pondered for countless days and nights, but she has said it so thoroughly, vividly and clearly.
He pondered over and over again, over and over again, and over and over again, so he became more and more addicted. Well, after a good Guan Suyi and a good emperor, the blue is better than the blue! No, it should be said that the dead wood is blooming!
"Madam, if you don't think Kunal is rude, can you drink three cups with me?" For her brilliant mind, tongue as sharp as a knife, eyes piercing the fire, and the wonderful mind that merges with herself , it is enough to make Emperor Shengyuan appreciate, admire, and delight, and then get drunk together.
