Chapter 616 Taimiao
"The Legalists have disappeared after four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. Some of the advocates are mostly linked to cruel officials. The King of Yan supports the Legalists again. He must be very dissatisfied with the officialdom, and even the entire royal family thinks so." Wang Yan looked at the two clan brothers and said with great sincerity, "You two don't know the seriousness of the matter at all. The emperor came to the Taimiao debate. The spread of this matter has exceeded people's imagination. The King of Yan will never let the Legalists lose."
"Will the King of Yan want Confucianism and metaphysics to be replaced by the Legalists?" Wang Dun raised his eyebrows and said with a strange face, "If this is the case, this is not a conspiracy or an open conspiracy."
"You see, the Legalists are against the literati and officials but not against the royal power. The reason why they were popular during the Warring States Period was because of this characteristic. On the contrary, the representatives of the Legalists were all supporters of the royal power." Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head slightly, "The King of Yan just put down his butcher's knife and chose a more civilized approach. His purpose was the same as when he sent troops to fight, and he was against the gentry, but the result was the same."
If someone asks Wang Yan what he thinks about this, of course Wang Yan feels uncomfortable, because the Wang family of Langya is also a member of the gentry, but what can he do if he feels uncomfortable? The noble family of the gentry who was not convinced by the King of Yan's troops to fight against him is now empty.
"Why does King Yan hate us so much? Brother, is there no way?" Wang Dao naturally could clearly feel the transcendent status of the Wang family in Langya, which may be weakened in the future. Of course, he was unwilling to do so as a member of the family.
"If the royal family is really persuaded by the King of Yan successfully, we have no choice but to be a witness." Wang Yan smiled bitterly, "The most powerful force of the Great Jin Dynasty has always been the royal family. The reason why Empress Jia succeeded was because the royal family could not form a joint force, but Empress Jia still died at the hands of the royal family. If it really seemed to be speculated by my brother, the royal family should have already recognized the King of Yan's move and felt that the King of Yan would do this to benefit the royal family."
"Maybe the King of Yan did not seek the opinions of the royal family. All the troops in the world were in the hands of the King of Yan. The King of Yan could make a decision alone." Wang Dun opened his mouth and asked, "Didn't the King of Yan always say nothing and never be disturbed by others?"
"Did you get the support of the royal family? On that day, everything will be clear." Wang Yan looked at the two clan brothers who were racking their brains and ordered, "In short, we must not go against the royal family."
"Don't worry about the royal family!" Sima Ji of the Yan Prince's Mansion also happened to talk about the royal family. Naturally, he didn't know that there was an old fox in the capital who had already understood everything, but what could he do if he knew it? A truly smart person could see through it and not say it thoroughly. Mingzhe is more skilled than anyone else in terms of politics. Although allies are important, the most important thing is that they must be strong.
Of course, facing obvious weak chickens, you can also gather dozens of friends to support the scene and show off like a country of hope. But the Russians can achieve their goals by just one-handedly. This kind of thing depends on how they choose.
The kings of the entire royal family are now the friends of the King of Yan. There are now 28 royal families in the capital, and all of them are in a certain way. Not to mention that the emperor is present in person.
"The whole capital will discuss this matter in the past few days. I ask you to give some instructions to the students who came forward. First, you must be realistic. You are not the opponent of metaphysics and Confucian students. Second, if you say what the people can understand, I will let you record all the debates. I will immediately announce them to the capital. I believe that they will spread all over the world soon. Victory of the debate is just the first step. Let the people's hearts be used by me. Don't bother with unrealistic issues. Maybe during the debate, you will find that the other party is easier to deal with than you think. Just be careful not to fall into sophistry. How are the candidates arranged now?"
"Don't worry, the last general will select the eloquent and eloquent person from the army. They all came from the Yanshan camp. Before joining the army, they had worked as chief officers in the mountains and fields, or as county swordsmen. None of them were mediocre people." Cao Gan patted his chest and promised, "How many people are prison officers brought by Luo Yong. It's no problem to figure out the people's hearts, but they don't know how the other party is preparing?"
"Maybe the other party thinks that he is sure to win? After all, Confucianism has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and metaphysics has also been very supportive in recent decades." Sima Ji smiled and said, "There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. There are many people who are talented. People always love to find opportunities to win in their past experiences. During the Warring States Period, Confucianism and Legalism once debated whether human nature is good or human nature is evil. Pay more attention to the problem here. It is better to hurt each other than let the other party occupy the moral commanding heights. This king sweeps the world, which is your greatest capital, even if it is used to debate."
"I know, and I will never let King Yan down at that time." Cao Gan bowed and left the Prince Yan's mansion to prepare.
Confucianism has always advocated governing the country with virtue and advocating virtue to the world. The root of this is based on the goodness of human nature. Only in this way can we educate the people with benevolence, righteousness, propriety and music and dominate the world with virtue. But now the war has just been extinguished, and the people in all parts have just recovered in the tragic war. This is the opportunity for the Legalists.
However, the great Jin Dynasty had just ended, and the internal killings of the well-known cruel infighting and the Eight Kings Rebellion. The extent of ignoring the consequences was only comparable to the internal fighting between Mongolian nobles in the late Yuan Dynasty.
If human nature is inherently good, where do you place my Royal Family in Jin? I have not cleaned up any of the major families among the kings. Sima Ji felt that he should really take this opportunity to revive the dominant position of the Fa-rage school. In any case, it should be much better than metaphysics.
Since the royal civil war had a clear winner and the stability of various places, the emperor had not really gone to Taimiao. When King Zhao usurped the throne, Emperor Sima Zhong came here to show that he had received the blessing of his ancestors and finally eradicated the King Zhao's rebellion.
Going to Taimiao is both gratitude and expression of shame. Of course, this is mainly for the people of the world to see. Sima Ji was also worried about this empire, but among the students, preparing for debate is much more important than what the emperor will do then. After the imperial edict was issued, it quickly occupied the streets and alleys of the people in the capital.
It has to be said that in nearly a month, the Legalists have been eliminated. These harsh and ruthless laws and harsh policies are as fierce as tigers, revealing the cultural hegemony for hundreds of years.
The Legalists who were unilaterally cursed seemed to be at a disadvantage before they even started, but this also aroused the interest of the people in the capital. They were full of curiosity about the debate that had not yet begun in the autumn of the 14th year of Yuankang.
This time I went to Taimiao, it should have been rare in recent years. All the royal court officials attended the meeting. A large number of soldiers surrounded the streets along the way. There were also many students from the Imperial College and the Imperial College. Looking around on the street, most of them were not qualified to join the debate, but if they could not join, they could cheer up and look like they were related to me.
After the emperor's carriage, the 28 royal princes led by Sima Ji followed closely behind, and behind were the eight ministers of the emperor. The long convoy could not be seen at a glance, and went straight to the Taimiao under the escort of the soldiers.
As for the Imperial College who is qualified to enter the Taimiao, the students of the Taixue School are very calm on the surface and are also ready to go in secret. They think about how to make a splash in front of the emperor and the important officials of the kings and the fish leaps to the dragon gate and reach the peak of their lives.
In the Taimiao, the emperor Sima Zhong, under the service of the internal officials, took the written text and told his ancestors that it was my shallow talent and virtue, which caused endless wars in the world. Fortunately, with the assistance of loyal and righteous people, it finally turned the danger into safety. Today, I would like to express my gratitude to the ancestors, asking our ancestors to protect this empire, etc.
