Great Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Confucian scholars before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were not powerless scholars. They often used their fists to solve problems.

The First Emperor sat on a high place, with a little curiosity in his brows.

Curious what kind of words this bastard should use to smash Fusu's deep-rooted Confucianism.

"Confucius said that there is no discrimination in education. Mencius said that the people value the ruler more than the emperor. Confucius advocated returning to the Zhou Dynasty and governing the world with Zhou etiquette. Mencius advocated that the monarch should pay attention to the people, and the country will have long-term stability. Is it right?"

"Not bad!"

"Ridiculous! Since the Zhou Dynasty was so good, why did the Zhou Dynasty collapse?"

"This......"

"Mencius said that the king valued the people and put them first? How did the rulers of the Zhou Dynasty treat the people?"

"This......"

"If Confucius is right, then all the ordinary people in Daqin would become slaves of the Zhou Dynasty. They have no dignity as human beings, they are just slaves! So where did Mencius' proposition go? On the contrary, Mencius said that the king valued the people, so what? Do the monarchs of the six countries value their own people? Then why were they destroyed by the Great Qin?"

"This......"

Fu Su was completely dumbfounded, every word Li Lin asked him seemed unanswerable.

"If there is no problem with Confucianism, and the way of Confucius and Mencius is not hypocritical, then why didn't any of the six countries adopt Confucius' ideas? Adopt Confucian ideas? Why was the Great Qin able to unify the world? These questions, please help Mr. Su and all the Confucian disciples here Answer, if you can answer it with Confucianism, then Zhenxiang will resign immediately, and you will never step into the officialdom again, how about it?"

"This......"

Li Lin looked at them with a smile. Anyway, he was asking questions. So many experts and scholars in later generations have not figured out these questions. With this group of Confucian disciples limited by the times, can they come up with a perfect answer?

impossible!

No matter what answer comes out, he has reasons to overturn it.

"Li Xiang, the questions you asked seem to be difficult to answer. I wonder if Li Xiang has the answer?"

"Mr. Fusu, Master Pushe, and all Confucian disciples, Confucianism is not without problems. On the contrary, Confucianism has a lot of problems, many contradictions, and a lot of rigid knowledge. Therefore, when you study Confucianism, you must think critically. Confucius, Mencius, and even Xunzi also said that knowledge should be questioned. It is true that Confucius and Mencius are Confucian authorities, but they are also human beings. As long as they are human beings, there will be mistakes.”

"As for Mr. Fusu's question, Mr. Li has already told you the answer, because those monarchs saw the hypocrisy of the way of Confucius and Mencius, so they don't use Confucianism, and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

"This......"

Fusu felt that his brain suddenly became confused. Of course, he was not alone, even Chun Yuyue, who had been immersed in Confucianism for decades, was brought into the ditch.

Li Lin avoids the serious and ignores the minor, using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, and singles out the contradictions of Confucianism.

They don't care what they think.

Confucianism's own contradictions exist objectively, so no matter how you think about it, even if you think about it, you can't refute Li Lin's conclusion.

Who told him to push forward and backward?

Chapter 112 I Trust Him

"Hahaha, Li Aiqing, you solved my doubts today. I used to wonder why the other six countries didn't follow Confucianism? Even Mencius' repeated remonstrance to King Wei Hui was ignored by him. Same, now, I understand it, it turns out that they, like me, think that Confucianism is hypocritical, they usually talk a lot of empty words, but they don't do any practical things."

"Yes, the common problem of Confucianism lies in hypocrisy, and even empty talk. Your Majesty is really good at knowledge. I once learned the scriptures of a hundred schools of thought from my teacher, but I didn't like Confucianism. Later, the teacher's way, Confucianism does not lie The inside, but the outside, the inside is like an empty shell, and everything can be filled inside. Therefore, this is the policy adopted by the humble officials to implement the reform, Confucianism on the outside, law on the outside, sage on the outside, king on the inside!"

"External Confucianism and internal law? External sage and internal king?"

Fusu felt that his brain was not enough. He originally wanted to refute his father's prejudice against Confucianism, but he was at a loss for words.

Chunyu Yue and the others didn't know where to start.

Others are even more hip-pull.

"That's it, I understand."

The First Emperor nodded. He was very familiar with the reforms that Li Lin had deployed over the past few days. He had always believed that Li Lin was the successor of the Taoist school.

Now he feels he was wrong.

Li Lin is probably the descendant of Guigu.

A student of the legendary Guiguzi.

"At present, these issues of Confucianism and Legalism are not discussed for the time being. The matter of pacifying Chu is urgent. According to what I know, they have already started preparations a month ago. Ministers, do you still want to debate here? Waste of time , delaying the fighter plane?"

"I can't wait!"

"Your Majesty, I recommend someone from the Construction Department, who will definitely replace Zhang Han!"

"Who?"

"Mo Zhiyuan."

"Oh, it turned out to be him. He was originally a member of the Construction Department. If he comes up to replace Zhang Han, there should be no problem. I agree. In addition, Han Xin, Zhang Liang and others, you can also call them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Lin looked grateful, and then led the topic to the detailed rules for the full implementation of the reform.

The first emperor talked with him with great interest, and other ministers also refuted with righteous words.

Only Confucian disciples such as Fusu and Chunyudao didn't listen to a word.

It seems that the few questions Li Lin asked just now haunted them like a nightmare, causing them unceasing pain.

An hour later.

Go away early.

All the ministers left the palace with smiles on their faces.

It seems that the vast majority of them are not interested in this Chudi rebellion, and in the eyes of some people, this matter is even less important than which concubine they will sleep at home tonight.

But for Li Lin, it was a big deal.

Chu rebelled.

Xiong Xin, King Huai of Chu, raised righteousness in Daze Township.

Where is Daze Township?

Above the Huai River, next to Chen County.

It is more than a dozen counties away from the mainland of Chu.

But he chose to raise righteousness in Daze Township.
