Chapter 544

Han Fei knew that he was unable to reform the law when he returned to China, so he probably could write a book. Now he found Yun Yao and wanted to ask some questions about how to restrain power.

"Just make the law." Yunyao's answer was exactly the same as Han Fei's original idea.

Xunzi believed that rituals and music could cultivate gentlemen, and then a gentleman would formulate rituals and music to make peace in the world. But Han Feizi was not optimistic about gentlemen. After all, there are many wise people now, and according to the teacher's methods, they could not cultivate a few gentlemen. Therefore, they had to use the rules and mandatory constraints for everyone, whether they were gentlemen or villains, they had to abide by the law.

But there is also a problem, that is, the king is isolated from the law, so Han Feizi raised a question: "I originally thought that the law could be restrained, but Guanzi said, 'All countries have laws, but there is no law that must be implemented by law'. Law enforcement must rely on the king, and at the same time, the king is the one who uses the law. If the king is under the law, how will the king accept the law? If the king is above the law, how can the law restrain the king?" This is a loophole of the Legalists, which cannot be solved at all, so the Legalists are basically the king's minions. However, Han Fei still pursues it, thinking whether it can solve this loophole.

Yun Yao said that this loophole is indeed difficult to deal with. In fact, it is the same as what Mozi discussed back then, and it cannot restrain the royal power. The result of the discussion with Mozi was to use technology to restrain the royal power and gain the powerful weapon to threaten the royal power. However, the Legalists are not the Mo family, so this problem cannot be solved by technology.

"You are right. You need to let the king promote the law. Law must be beneficial to the king. However, law is not only beneficial to the king, but also to the nobles and doctors. After all, the designation of the law cannot be completed by the king alone. It must be helped by the nobles and doctors, so law is the most beneficial to the kings and nobles. So have you ever thought of letting the people participate together when formulating the law?"

Han Fei was stunned. What crazy talk is this? People are illiterate, so how can they formulate laws? But then they thought, if people can join the process of formulating laws, the kings and nobles really cannot do whatever they want, and even their Legal scholars cannot do whatever they want, can the law be established?

Just when Han Fei was helpless, Yunyao continued, "Do you know King Li of Zhou?"

"I naturally know the way to King Li of Zhou."

"Then do you know why King Li of Zhou opposed his subordinates to express his opinions?"

"Because of King Li's patent, he tried to control the wealth of all vassal states." Han Fei said that these histories are basic skills.

The reason why King Li of Zhou was so cruel and did not listen to the following opinions was that the Chinese people only dared to communicate with their eyes on the road was actually because King Li of Zhou promoted patents, so the opposition was too loud, but he still pushed it hard, which eventually led to the riots of the Chinese people.

"Is there any difference between Li Wang's patent and Guan Ziguan Shanhai?"

Faced with Yun Yao's problem, Han Fei said directly: "There is no essential difference, it's just that Guan Zi succeeded, and King Li failed." King Li's patent was actually an unsuccessful attempt by Guan Shanhai, and the ending was a crushing defeat.

"Then why did King Li, who was the emperor, fail, but the Prime Minister of Qi can accomplish it? Is it because the Prime Minister's authority is greater than that of the Emperor?" Yun Yao asked the key point.

Han Fei was stunned. According to his understanding of authority, the emperor's authority is naturally greater than Guan Zi. Then he can only say that King Li of Zhou is unworthy and Guan Zi is virtuous. There was no problem with answering like this before, but Han Fei felt that if he still answered like this now, it would be too stupid.

After thinking about it, Han Fei said: "Because the emperor's patent and the princes' failure, the world opposes. Guanzi official mountains and seas are only in Qi, so there are fewer opponents. Therefore, the greater the authority, the more restraints, the less the authority, the less restraints? Therefore, to restrict the king, we must add obstacles and let the people participate in the legislation, which can restrain the king's power?" All of them were rhetorical questions, because although Han Fei thought of it, he could not immediately recognize these conclusions.

"King Li's patent, the world is defeated, you have pointed out the key to the problem. The king is the enemy of the world, but the king is an indispensable representative of noble doctors. Because under the leadership of the king, everyone can do things together, and the king takes the lead. But once the king only cares about his own interests, he will become the enemy of the world."

Han Fei thought to himself and said, "When the king is for his own interests, he will become the enemy of everyone, and authority will be bound. Therefore, if we want to increase the constraints on authority, we must increase the number of people who divide the king's profits, and increase the scope of legislation." The more people who divide the king's profits, the more controlled the king will be.

The idea gradually opened up. The law is actually the distribution method. As long as the law contains more people, the more people will be divided into the king's profits, and the king will naturally be less happy.

"The king is an enemy, and the king is also an ally. The more people who share the king's profits, the greater the power of the king, and the greater the constraints they are." Han Fei suddenly realized: "In fact, there is no need to think specifically about restraining the king's power. As long as there are more people who make profits through laws, the king's power is also brewing the power to limit the king's power while strengthening it."

I suddenly realized that I felt a sense of Taoist enlightenment.

Yun Yao thought it was right, it was just like this. In fact, it was just using civil rights to restrict the royal power. But Yun Yao said it more mysteriously, but Han Fei still understood it. The more people support the royal power, the more severe it is, but at the same time, the more restrictions it is.

Han Fei thought that he could return to China to write a book with peace of mind, but the new theory still needs more time to digest. Han Fei felt that it was necessary to think about the education he had received in the past few days. He has received too many new ideas in the past few days, and even as smart as Han Fei, it is difficult to fully digest it.

However, these thoughts opened the door to a new world for him. Of course, if he really implemented it, he would definitely die miserably. At that time, the king would kill him, and the noble doctor would also kill him.

During the Song Dynasty, "Poverty with scholars and officials, not with the people." At that time, Emperor Shenzong of Song asked the reforms that benefit the people, why can't they be implemented? Wen Yanbo answered the above sentence, which shows that only kings and noble officials are qualified to share the benefits, so the people should not think about it.

If Han Fei promotes the people to participate in the legislation, it will be more affected than the royal power. The nobles and doctors will be even more affected, and they will be able to kill Han Fei in minutes.

Yunyao was not guilty because Han Fei was about to die, so he would die after making a big splash.

Soon Han Fei also left Qi State and returned to South Korea to write books. Li Si, who was heading to Qin State, also began his own counterattack. First, he recommended Lao Ai to help Lu Buwei solve the problem of Empress Dowager Zhao. Then he wrote books to solve the crisis of Lu Buwei's expansion of power and avoided Lu Buwei's suspected rebellion.

However, although Li Si helped Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei also saw that Li Si was very ambitious, so he did not use Li Si more, but assigned Li Si to the Imperial Guards and asked him to visit the palace gate. However, Li Si was indeed powerful. Through the relationship between the Imperial Guards, he actually stood directly at the gate of the main hall. With the opportunity to contact the young Ying Zheng, he was stubborn and stormed in front of Ying Zheng, which attracted the attention of the young Ying Zheng and launched the promotion record from the granary administrator to the prime minister of Qin.

Han Fei was not so lucky. Although he wrote the book, everyone read it as a joke. Han Fei had no choice but to delete the part of the civil rights, which made people give him a thumbs up. As expected, he was a genius after taking the lead, and a madman after taking the lead.
