Chapter 1726: Thought Weapons
Fang Mo was somewhat surprised that Ye Chunqiu was interested in Ye Chunqiu. Ye Chunqiu, a superior, has now received him so politely.
As a great scholar, when he thought of his own theory, Fang Mo talked freely. "I dare to ask the grandfather, if the monarch, minister, father and son as they said, then wouldn't Confucius be unfaithful? Confucius was a native of Lu and a minister of Lu. However, in the chaos in Lu, Confucius not only did not serve his loyalty, but instead left Lu and went to Qi and became the minister of the King of Qi. How dare I ask, is this the monarch, minister and minister? After that, Confucius returned to Lu and was soon valued. He was appointed as the Grand Secretary and regent in Lu, so that Lu could rule the country. But soon, Qi sent eighty beauties to Lu, which made Lu indulge in singing and dancing, and ignored the government for many days. Confucius was disappointed. Not long ago, he left Lu and traveled around the country. I dare to ask the grandfather, if it were based on Cheng and Zhu, wouldn't this Confucius become a monarch without a king or father?"
"This Cheng Zhu only makes people remember the king, minister, minister, father, son, and ethical principles, but they do not mention the rights and duties that the king and his subjects only see. This is not the way of Confucius and Mencius."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but think of something and couldn't help but smile.
If this guy had dared to say such things in the pass before, he would have to be beaten to death!
But in a sense, what he said was a little reasonable, so Ye Chunqiu continued to ask: "So, how dare you ask sir, what is the true way of Confucius and Mencius?"
Fang Mo said: "Each person performs his duties, is etiquette. The king has what the king wants to do, the minister has the obligations of the minister, the father has the responsibility of the father, and the son should also have the rules that the son follows. This rule is etiquette. However, this etiquette is not unconditionally followed by the ministers and sons, because the ministers and sons need to keep the etiquette. The king and father should know the etiquette. If the king is rude, he will lose his ministers. If the ministers and the ministers are rude, they will be killed, and it should not be unconditional obedience to everything."
Ye Chunqiu seemed to be thinking. He was originally the top scholar and of course he had some understanding of Cheng and Zhu's studies, so he said: "So what should Confucian scholars?"
Fang Mo said: "The Confucians of the Han Dynasty are different from the Confucians of the present. The Confucians of the present only know how to read, read the classics of saints, and regard them as gods word by word. However, the Confucians of the Qin and Han Dynasties used their learning. The Duke was a Confucian, but they went out of the pass to compete with the Tatars, and they were the first to avoid arrows and stones. This is the true Confucians. Just like Chen Tang of the Han Dynasty, he was also a Confucian. When he was young, he liked to study and went to the Western Regions to follow the orders. Seeing that the Northern Xiongnu were domineering the Western Regions, he was arrogant and even killed the Han envoys. So he immediately forged the imperial edicts from various countries in the Western Regions, recruited military farms and soldiers on the frontiers of the Han Dynasty, and attacked and killed the Northern Shanyu. This was why the words "The barbarians in the Toutao Street of Yixian were instructed to show that those who violated the powerful Han Dynasty would be punished even if they were far away."
"Does the prince think that Chen Tang is not a Religion?"
Ye Chunqiu was speechless for a moment. This sentence of offending the powerful Han Dynasty would be punished even if it was far away. It was quite popular in later generations. It was Chen Tang. Of course, it was not this Chen Tang bragging, but this guy ran to the Western Regions. Without waiting for the emperor to order, he took people to kill the Khan of the Northern Xiongnu, and then ran back to his country to confess his guilt. He used this sentence to defend himself and told the emperor that it was because the Northern Shanyu offended the Han Dynasty first, so he should hang his head in the barbarian market and tell those barbarians that whoever dared to offend the Han Dynasty would definitely kill your whole family no matter where you were.
And this Chen Tang was indeed a Confucian scholar before.
At this time, Fang Mo said again: "Among the Confucians of Han, Ban Chao, who was ordered to go to the Western Regions. Ban Chao arrived in Shanshan Kingdom and saw the ministers of the Xiongnu. Shanshan Kingdom had a little kindness to the envoys of the Xiongnu, so he killed the entire family of the envoys of the Xiongnu overnight. This made him have a good sentence that if he didn't enter the tiger's den, he would not get a tiger's son. In the Western Regions, Ban Chao was not only the envoys of the Xiongnu, but also the kings of the Western Regions, arbitrarily abolished the kings of the countries of the Western Regions, and often killed their kings, leading troops to destroy their country, and at the least they could determine their lives and death. I dare to ask, is Ban Chao not a Confucian?"
Ye Chunqiu was silent again. He finally understood why the owners of the big business firms praised Mr. Fang so much when they were summoned by him a few days ago.
If Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is a moderate Confucianism, then Mr. Fang’s school is a radical Confucianism.
To put it bluntly, the difference between the Han Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confu
The merchants have tasted great sweetness in the constant war. Almost every expansion of the Zhenguo Mansion, they have made huge profits from it. Therefore, the entire Qinglong is actually filled with a warlike atmosphere. This is not only because war is in the interests of the merchants, but also because war can improve the lives of many people. The newspapers are filled with the desire for war. The students of the new army are generally respected, and Mr. Fang's theory also caters to the views of many people in Qinglong at present.
Rather than saying that they are admiring the Han Confucians, they urgently need to expand like the Han Dynasty and be willing to surrender to the Zhenguo Mansion. You have to open your country and do business with us. If you don’t do business with us, you will not surrender to us, or you will not be friends with us, and you will be killed by you.
Very good, this is not the same as the mild Confucianism in the past.
Ye Chunqiu is now in urgent need of ideological weapons to compete with the Confucian scholars in the pass.
Ye Chunqiu may not have fully understood the connotation mentioned by Mr. Fang, but he knew that Mr. Fang's theory was most in line with the actual situation of Zhenyuan Kingdom. To put it bluntly, his theory was very appreciated by the ruling class of Qinglong and was conducive to the current rule.
Because Zhenyuan Country is not a Guannei, what the landlords in Guannei want is to guard their own land, and their wives and children live their own good life with a warm kang. But for Zhenyuan Country, they are more willing to be pioneering and enterprising. This is not their quality of pioneering and enterprising, but because, development means that a cannon fires and gold is ten thousand taels, which means that many national gates are opened. You have to accept our continuous supply of goods, get a larger market, and at the same time, get more resources and minerals.
Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "Mr.'s words are thought-provoking. Chunqiu has benefited a lot. What book is he compiling now?"
Fang Mo said: "Now we are practicing "Han Confucianism."
