Chapter 55(1/2)

The Origin of Hundreds of Schools, the Holy Way

Luo Guo's palace has always been simple, even the king Luo Xiu's room cannot be called luxurious.

Lu Xiaobai's reputation has been rising over the years, and with Guan Zhong at his side to make suggestions, he doesn't need Luo Xiu's constant guidance.

As time went by, Huafa gradually appeared. Luo Xi accompanied her father, "Xi'er, have you finished reading the letter I gave you last month?"

Luo Xi froze on the spot. Thinking of the letter her father gave her and the contents inside, cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She lowered her head and said, "Father, that letter Erchen has been destroyed.

"

As if it was expected, Luo Xiu looked at his son with a half-smile, and said calmly: "Why was it ruined? But the writing was not good?"

Luo Xi was silent, and the air in the room seemed to be stagnant. Luo Xiu was not in a hurry, squinting slightly, waiting for his son to give him an answer.

After a long time, Luo Xi finally said: "Father, your wisdom is only inferior to that of King Su. The letters you wrote naturally contain the truth of heaven and earth.

But the letter is out of date. If anyone knew it was from the Luo family, not to mention the reputation of 400 years, or 40,000 years, it would be destroyed in an instant."

When these terrifying words came out of Luo Xi's mouth, Luo Xiu laughed out loud. His thoughts fell on the Xumi ring, and a bamboo slip instantly appeared in his hand. He handed it to Luo Xi and said, "Look at this again."

Luo Xi thought it was another shocking speech, so she took it with trembling hands.

Let’s take a look, “The Theory of Good Nature?”

However, it was only a few hundred words and the logic was clear. After reading it, Luo Xi felt like he still had something to say, and he thought he had been convinced.

Human nature is inherently good. This is the ultimate truth. All governance requires the use of benevolence and forgiveness, which is what King Su advocates.

Just when he wanted to express his admiration for Luo Xiu's wisdom, his father handed him another roll of bamboo slips. When he opened it and saw the title, he was shocked.

"On the Evil Nature?"

Why is it completely opposite to what I just said? By the time I finished reading his article, I was in a daze.

Luo Xi looked at the theory of evil nature and then the theory of good nature in his hand. He hesitated to speak. He thought he should say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Ji Zhao wanted to laugh when he saw this scene. Luo Xiu was a son of destiny. Although his political and military talents were somewhat mediocre, his academic skills were definitely at the level of a sage.

The two diametrically opposed worldviews of good nature and evil nature appeared simultaneously in front of Luo Xi, a person with a low IQ, with strict logic. He did not doubt that life was strange.

"Father, this..." Luo Xi asked hesitantly: "Which one of these is right?"

With his talent, he thinks both of them are right, but how can it be possible that two completely opposite ideas are both right?

Luo Xiu's performance had long been expected by Luo Xiu, so he smiled and said: "There is no right or wrong, only choice.

After that, you take these two articles to the academy. The students will definitely take different stances, debate fiercely, and send someone to record their debate.

There must be crystallization of wisdom displayed in the confrontation of ideas, and by harvesting this wisdom, Luo Shi will always prosper."

This is the real purpose of Luo Xiu's establishment of the academy. Cultivating the sons of the public family is only secondary. His ultimate goal is to invite all the great sages from all the Xia kingdoms to the academy.

It is naturally a very reasonable act for Luo Guo, as the master of the academy, to record all their thoughts and ideas among the most intelligent and talented people among the various kingdoms of Xia.

[A hundred schools of thought contend, the glory is dazzling, countless historical figures shine with the light of wisdom, the Son of Destiny will open this era, and the increase in your luck points has accelerated again. 】

As for whether nature is good or evil, there is indeed no right or wrong, only choice. However, different worldviews will create completely different schools of thought.

Xunzi is an evil-natured sect. He calls himself a Confucianist, but the disciples he teaches are all Legalists. This is not a coincidence, but the severe punishments and laws of Legalism are based on the inherent evil of human nature, and there are more good-natured sects.

Emphasis on the role of moral governance.

Ji Zhao took a deep breath. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were originally an era of ideological innovation and great changes in productivity.

Luo Xiu will throw out the opposing thoughts now, even if the two sides will only debate about good and evil in a short period of time.

But once these people come to power, these ideas will involuntarily affect their behavior.

Ji Zhao looked at the Luo Academy in Zhaocheng. He was afraid that in the future, hundreds of schools of thought would come from this place.

The Son of Destiny is so terrifying!

"Xi'er, if Bang Zhou's destiny is fulfilled and Luo survives, where do you think Luo will go?"

Luo Xi thought about it for a while and said hesitantly: "The Luo family has a great reputation. Maybe they can split the earth and seal the country like the Song Dynasty did."

Luo Xiu was a little disappointed and looked at his son with a hint of disgust.

Guan Zhong had already begun to implement land private ownership in Qi State, which was a completely different system from that established by Bang Zhou. As a result, his stupid son was still playing the same old tricks here.

Nowadays, the talents in the office are increasingly withering. If it weren't for the strong foundation of the Luo Kingdom and the wisdom left by the ancestors that is far superior to other countries, how could it still be as glorious as it is now.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He had to leave enough wisdom to his descendants to prevent them from being dishonest and affecting King Su's family inheritance plan.

If Ji Zhao were here, he would directly advise Luo Xiu to forget it. Even the attributes of his destiny son were forcibly changed by him using attribute cards. The mediocrity of others is normal.

This is the result of the deep entanglement with the Zhou Dynasty. Ji Zhao gradually has an idea of ​​the solution, but it can only be said that it is not yet time.

Although he was a little disappointed with his stupid son, over the years, Luo Xiu gradually accepted the mediocrity of the prince's son.

As if feeling her father's dissatisfaction, Luo Xi quickly added: "If the earth cannot be cracked, the dead Zhou must be the new destined person, just like King Wu.

But the reason why Zhou Dynasty can survive is because after King Wu, there is an ancestor King Su, who conquers the east to quell the chaos, so that peace can be settled.

You can wait until the destined people die of old age and then seek to restore the country."

This sounds reasonable, and Luo Xiu is quite satisfied with the answer this time.

In fact, this kind of question is meaningless. According to the current situation, as long as the Luo Kingdom controls it well, Zhou's destiny will not be implemented within a few hundred years.

As for the far future, who knows?

Luo Xi hung the two major treatises directly in the academy, stating that they were written by the monarch, and asked everyone to evaluate which theory was more advanced. If the theory was reasonable, they would give them gold, silver, cloth and silk.

In fact, there is no need for these properties at all. The two articles, The Theory of the Goodness of Nature and The Theory of the Evil Nature, are so logically clear and have such strong opinions that they are like loud bells and drums, shaking everyone's brains into paste.

In this era, the power of Yuanshi has not yet been discovered, and his thinking has not yet changed.

Luo Xiu can have such advanced thinking.

First of all, he is a man of destiny and has an inspiration.

Coupled with Ji Zhao's thoughts that transcended the times, he was influenced by what he heard and saw, and he came up with these logically clear theories.

At this time, Luo Xiu had already arrived in Ji Zhao's domain. When he saw Ji Zhao for the first time, his behavior was no different from that of Luo Su and Luo Cheng.

"Ancestor!"

Luo Xiu prostrated himself in excitement, and then felt his body being lifted up by a gust of wind, and he was in shock.

In an instant, the two of them came to a peach forest, and they could only sigh in their hearts at the ancestors' tricks.

Ji Zhao knelt down and sat beside the table under the peach tree. Pieces of peach blossoms fell on the table, which was very beautiful.

Luo Xiu was so excited that he knelt down on the other side and had some difficulty with his hands and feet.

"Xiu, your theory of the goodness of human nature and the theory of evil nature written by you is very good. I would like to hear your views on these two."

Luo Xiu didn't expect that the article he wrote would attract the attention of Su Wang's ancestor, and even call him to heaven, which was something his father had never said.

This is natural. Luo Xiu's father is not qualified to come here. Ji Zhao communicates with his descendants and activates his ancestors' blessings, which all consume a lot of luck points. We are now in the critical period of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, when rituals and music are collapsing.

Just to keep the children of the Luo Kingdom from being too bad and to maintain a normal family tradition, Ji Zhao continued to consume the luck points of his birth. Although the inventory was still very rich, in order to be safe and prevent the group from being wiped out,

He doesn't even smoke props anymore.

"Old Ancestor, Xio's articles were all written after reading your "King's Way" and other major works. How dare I show off in front of you?"

Ji Zhao smiled and said: "Introduce the old and bring out the new, and the descendants will be better than the predecessors. This is the law of heaven, you can say it."

So Luo Xiu began to talk about the theory he realized from the royal way and the records of Luo Hou in the past dynasties.

Starting from the worldview of good nature and evil nature, it was extended to kingly and domineering, and then Ji Zhao was shocked to find that Luo Xiu seemed to have developed all the theories of Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi by himself.

Of course, it is not as detailed and logically complete as that of later generations, and there are countless examples to prove it, but it is indeed that direction!

Ji Zhao was a little curious about how Luo Xiu's brain grew. If one person came up with two essentially different theories, wouldn't this be schizophrenia?

"The king's way is the great road, but in times of chaos, it is no match for the art of domination. Our ancestors, the Luo family, may be defeated."

After saying that, Luo Xiu knelt down directly on the ground, sobbing faintly. He had been holding these words in his heart, and he was able to say them out today.

As he studied the kingly way and hegemony, he became more and more desperate. Bangzhou was walking the kingly way, and Luo Guo was also walking the kingly way, and it was impossible to change his domineering way.

Although tyranny is a path to fishing in the marsh and perish together, it can squeeze out all the potential of the entire country in a short period of time and kill the opponent first.

No matter how miserable his fate is, his opponents cannot see it. This is the future of Luo Country as Luo Xiu sees it from the theory he created.

It should be said that a genius is indeed a genius. Although his operational skills in governing the country are average, his high academic level allows him to see the future.

Ji Zhao thought for a while, and since Luo Ren stopped courting Zhou, not only the Zhou royal family has lost its backbone, but the head of the Luo family also lacks the aura that can swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger. He feels that the Luo family is even a little confused.

"Bangzhou's destiny is declining, and the Luo Kingdom will be defeated sooner or later, but the Luo family cannot be destroyed."

Ji Zhao directly showed the Xuan-level props and Huang-level props to Luo Xiu, "With the Divine Artifact of Destiny, as long as the descendants don't do their own evil and offend God, the Luo family will not die.

Every time one of these destiny artifacts is used, Luo's foundation will be reduced, and it may even cost the lives of his disciples, so I don't want you to use these more."

Luo Xiu looked at those powerful artifacts and was stunned for an instant.

Then he heard what the ancestor said, so he kowtowed again and said: "Ancestor, don't understand that no matter how difficult the past few years have been, you have never used the divine weapon, just because you know that it is not the time for the survival of the clan."

Seeing that Luo Xiu finally had some of the glory of the past, Ji Zhao said again: "Lu Xiaobai has done a good job. You can go ahead and do it. I am still here, and Luo Guo is worry-free."
