Chapter 538 Direct

"Who can decide whether to give birth or not? It's naturally everyone's decision." Yun Yao said naturally in the face of Han Fei's questioning.

"It's still the crazy saying that gives power to everyone." Han Fei was very excited because he had not encountered such a shameless opponent for a long time. He couldn't wait to use his own opinions to argue with the other party, so he said: "Power, wise men use it, and unworthy men use it, and wise men use it, and many wise men are now. You let everyone have authority, but you don't intend to give wings to the tiger, and you want to destroy the world."

Power exists objectively, just like a kitchen knife, it depends on who will use it. If good people use it, the world will be stable, and bad people will be in chaos. Since human nature is inherently evil, there are naturally many bad people and few good people.

"What is authority?" Yunyao asked.

"Confucius was a minister of Duke Ai of Lu, which was power. In view of Confucius' virtuousness and Duke Ai of Lu, if we were benevolence, righteousness and morality, Confucius should not be under Duke Ai of Lu, but because of authority, Confucius could only be a minister, while Duke Ai of Lu was a monarch." Han Fei said confidently.

Originally, this was formulated by the Zhou Li, but in Han Fei's mouth the rule of rituals had evolved into authority. In his opinion, Confucius was not a minister because of rituals, but because of Duke Ai of Lu.

In fact, this also represents the difference of the times. In Confucius' era, Confucius could not just turn away from Duke Ai of Lu, and he also lived a good life in other countries. Confucius' autonomy is still very strong and has many choices.

But now, even if Confucius is resurrected, there is no such choice. If he is disobedient, he will be killed. There is no choice but to be forced. Therefore, Han Fei and the others deeply feel their unfreedom and the power of authority.

Confucius' era could not be felt, because Confucius himself had great power. If he was willing, he could really be the king himself, but Confucius restrained himself and returned to courtesy, and was unwilling to be defeated.

Now, Han Fei cannot have such an opportunity. It is difficult for them to form a team to set up their own business without looking at other people's faces. Now, no matter which country they go to, they must look at the face of the monarch, and they must be careful. If they are not careful, they may have different body and head.

By the end of the Warring States Period, the environment had become very harsh and there was no tolerance of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Han Fei could feel the ubiquitous authority. When they analyzed the problems, Yao, Shun, Yu, Shang, Tang and King Wen were all games of power.

"Haha, you are really interesting. You say that the times have changed, and the past etiquette and laws cannot be applied to today. But you use today's situation to analyze history. Isn't this slap yourself in the face?" Yun Yao smiled and said, "Today's authority is indeed everywhere, but Confucius was not so serious back then. Confucius did not violate the authority of fearing Duke Ai of Lu at all. Duke Ai of Lu wanted to use Confucius' power to fight against the Three Huans. If Duke Ai of Lu was really so powerful, the Three Huans would have been resolved long ago. So what you call authority was only really appeared during this period, and no one had it in the past.

With such great ability," Yunyao said jokingly: "So Duke Ai and Confucius used each other. Confucius borrowed Duke Ai to restore the Zhou rituals, and Duke Ai Lu used Confucius to attack the Three Huans. The so-called power is a weighing, not arbitrary one person, but a game between multiple groups, which is the same as playing ink cards. Duke Ai Lu has cards in his hand, Confucius also has cards in his hand, and the Three Huans have cards in his hand." "And you just said that there are many desires but few things, and now you say that there are few wise people but many unworthy people. According to your principle of desire and hate the same thing, there are few wise people, and everyone should strive to be a wise person. Why are there many unworthy people?"

Han Fei was stunned. He had never thought about this. He thought that power was the power of the monarch, but he had never thought that there was no eternal monarch. The biggest problem in Confucius' era was the following.

Authority is always bipartite. When you control others, others are also constraining them in turn.

Han Feizi has been thinking about power tactics, and many problems are pointed out, but many views are too presumptuous. For example, if a sage holds power, it will definitely be ruled by the world, which is definitely wrong. Many monarchs in the Spring and Autumn Period were good, but they were killed by the following. And the untrue people hold power, it will definitely be in chaos in the world, and this is not necessarily true. As long as they do not interfere with the interests of the following interest groups, then the interest groups are still willing to recognize the status of the untrue people.

Therefore, power can only be suitable for Han Feizi's current era, and cannot be suitable for all eras.

Under authority, the real distribution of interests is still the distribution of interests. So although Xunzi, Li Si and Han Fei have seen the problem, the solution is still scratching the surface.

Han Fei obviously didn't expect Yun Yao to say this, and his understanding of power was shaken. He originally thought that power existed objectively and unshakable, and whoever got it belonged to him, but in Yun Yao's words, the authority was also intertwined and constrained. The game of power was not just a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, but not just a simple employment of people.

Han Fei suddenly thought of Guan Zi's words: All countries have laws, but there is no law that must be implemented. That is to say, all countries have laws in the Spring and Autumn Period, but there is no law that allows the laws to be enforced.

Law is a good thing, not only the Legalists realized it. In the Guanzi era, it was very important to realize that national law was, and the question was how to ensure law enforcement.

Han Fei wanted to promote the law through power, but now Yun Yao told him that power is also divided into different parts, and different parts naturally have to fight against each other, so naturally they cannot implement the law wholeheartedly. This led to the destruction of the core of Han Fei's claim, and he suddenly turned pale.

Li Si didn't say a word because he was not good at debate, he was better at finding ways and using platforms to solve problems. He would do as much as he had a platform. Li Si's goal was to keep changing jobs. Jixia Academy was just a place where he was gilded, and his goal was Qin. At this time, Li Si looked at Yunyao deeply. He knew that this young man was very powerful. As a friend of Han Fei, Li Si naturally knew Han Fei's proposition and knew that Han Fei advocated the parallelization of power and law.

However, Li Si never thought of such a thing, because he was asking for his own wealth and glory, and he would not stick to any proposition, and he would definitely use which one is easier to use.

"Han Fei, sit down first." Xunzi found that his disciple's face was not good, so he asked him to sit down to avoid being angry. He also looked at Yunyao. This time he stood up because he found that although Yunyao's knowledge was fantastic, it was still very good to analyze the problems. Confucius and Duke Ai of Lu were even more wonderful. "You cannot use ancient methods to govern today, nor can you analyze the ancient times based on today's situation. You are indeed right, but if both ancient methods and present cannot analyze the past and present at the same time, what should we do? And what you are right. If you want to hate the same thing, everyone should strive to be a wise man, but there are so few wise man now. Why?" Xunzi asked Yunyao if there is a way to measure the past and the present and connect the two together? He also wanted to know why everyone doesn't want to be a wise man.

Of course, there are methods, contradiction theory, analysis of distribution methods, etc. that are related to the past and present, because the contradiction theory is objective, and the development of distribution methods is also consistent.

"It is not advisable to be prosperous and abuse the present, and torture the past and the present. We must analyze the problems that emerged in ancient times and solve them with the ancients' solutions. The problem in Confucius' era was the collapse of rituals and music, and the solution was to expand externally. Later, the expansion of externally could not be done, and it was changed to reform. The problem now is that all the seven countries had to transfer domestic problems, so they could only launch wars. But this transfer could not solve the fundamental problem at all, so someone had to propose a new solution." Yun Yao knew that the last solution was proposed by Li Si, who opposed feudalism and insisted on counties and counties, and unified weights and measures, and the methods were also very fierce, so he directly burned books.

But Li Si did.
