Chapter 690 Wenzhi (1)(1/2)
After something like Dou Ying happened, no one dared to find fault with "Ping Lv" anymore.
The doctors who were about to make a move have completely stopped.
There won't be that fool who dares to jump out and chirp at this time.
Because that is tantamount to ruining the future political future of one's own school of thought.
Moreover, everyone is convinced that once they anger the emperor, the emperor will definitely do something to drive out this school of thought in the political arena!
Back then, Emperor Gao could urinate in the hat of a Confucian scholar in public, but now it is no longer easy for the emperor to throw a certain school of thought into the trash or ban it for a few years.
You don’t even need to express your opinion!
Apart from other things, in this year's examinations, the emperor will only insist on his own opinions and refuse to accept any students or disciples from a certain sect.
That moment can cause a devastating blow to the school.
Except for die-hard fans and idiot fans, most other normal people will choose to draw a clear line with them.
What is even more frightening is that the subsequent consequences will be followed by landlords and nobles all over the world, who will vote with their feet to remove the school of thought that will not help their descendants to advance in their careers from their list of tutors and clan tutors.
.
Then, the Tianxia Rural School canceled all the classics registration qualifications of this school.
This is not just an illusory future that scares people, but a tragedy that actually happened in the past.
I recall that during the Warring States Period, the Mohist school and the Yang-Zhu school were competing for hegemony, easily defeating Confucianism and Legalism in the world of public opinion and thought.
So much so that Mencius wrote a special article saying: Yangzi is like me, and he has no king; Mozi loves everyone, and he has no father; without king and father, he is like a beast.
To be able to make Mencius, a gentleman who was always gentle and elegant, with a moderate degree of advance and retreat, curse loudly and without any regard for image, shows the huge influence of the Yang Zhu School and the Mohist School in the field of thought and public opinion at that time.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, the ideological and public opinion circles were almost controlled by scholars of the Yang Zhu School and the Mohist School.
The so-called Confucianism and Legalism are all juniors.
The two once divided the world's right to speak.
But where is the Yang Zhu School now?
Even the Mohist family, if it weren't for the partiality and deliberate support of the current emperor, and for rolling up one's sleeves and ending up personally, I'm afraid that the Mohist family would have gradually died out, and even when its final orthodoxy and inheritance were cut off, people might
Won't know.
Just like the Yang Zhu School, it quietly disappeared into the long river of history and died in obscurity.
Even so, the current Mohist family is in a very poor state.
Not to mention compared with its heyday, even compared with the Tian Heng period, it is far inferior.
In the entire Mo Garden, there are less than two hundred people who can bear the title of ink master.
But these are almost all the Mohists in the world.
Confucianists have no doubt that as long as they can wipe out all the Mohists in Mo Yuan, then Mo Zhai's orthodoxy may be completely cut off.
As for the Yang Zhu School?
Does this school of thought still exist today?
Even many young people have never even heard of this school of thought that was once arrogant and influenced the world's public opinion and dominated ideological changes.
Even many well-educated scholars and Confucian scholars no longer know the essence of the core propositions and specific concepts of this school of thought that once dominated China.
Yang Zhu's school has withered to this day, and most people can only explore the past propositions and self-positioning of this school from the works of Zhuangzi, Lu Shichunqiu and Mencius.
Why is this happening?
Many doctoral officers cast complicated expressions on the gentle and smiling Emperor Liu who was sitting on the emperor's throne.
The death of Yang Zhu was a relay task completed by the Qin and Han dynasties.
Today, the emperor supports the Mohist school and revives it.
Many people are actually beating the drum in their hearts: What if one day the emperor releases the demon of Yang Zhu School, what will the people of the world do?
No one is tossing and turning about this and losing sleep.
…………………………
Liu Che looked at the quiet doctors with a smile.
His fingers slowly tapped the table.
Under the desk, there is an old bamboo slip, which is particularly conspicuous in the Han Palace where white paper has become common.
"It seems that this nuclear weapon is no longer needed..." Liu Che swept the bamboo slips into his sleeves calmly, then put them away and protected them carefully.
Can I be careless?
This bamboo slip is most likely the last five volumes of core expositions on Yang Zhu School in the world, and it is also a fragment of Yang Zi, the most important classic of Yang Zhu School during the Warring States Period.
This is one of the few legacies that Liu Bang left behind and passed on to his descendants.
In the Han Palace, it has always been the same as the Emperor's Sword, a few things that only the emperor can check and use.
Why?
Because the words on this bamboo slip, in the Han Dynasty before the Christian era, were as formidable, dangerous and terrifying as the natural enemy of capitalists in the 1920s and 1930s, Das Kapital.
These words sparked a fierce ideological debate in China hundreds of years ago.
Even from Liu Che's perspective, the thoughts and content described above are extremely dangerous and terrifying.
A school of thought that advocates extreme selfishness, self-interest, self-centeredness, liberalism and egotism throughout, ignores social moral order, outlines ethics, does not recognize the process, and only looks at the results.
Just ask the emperor if he is afraid?
It's sad to say that.
History is always so similar.
Liu Che knew that two thousand years later, the story of the struggle for hegemony between Mohism and Yang Zhu School during the Warring States Period would be repeated.
It's just that the two sides changed their vests.
I just don’t know, will both parties end up with the same fate as Yang Mo?
Liu Che brought this thing just in case, but the doctors insisted on being tough, so he revealed a little bit of the contents of this bamboo slip and used it as a trump card and a nuclear weapon.
Of course, if you can't use this method, it's best not to use it.
Because it's a double-edged sword.
Are the literati and officials afraid of the resurrection of the Yang Zhu School?
Of course I am afraid. There is no one like Confucianism, Legalism, Huang and Lao Mo who is not afraid.
But the emperor is more afraid!
Otherwise, the old Liu family would not have been able to persevere and suppress some officials and comments suspected of being Yang Zhu's school for decades.
He even had the attitude that he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go.
Therefore, Zhuangzi's disciples and grandsons were shot one after another while lying down, and were often killed accidentally.
Therefore, using this to threaten and coerce all schools of thought is actually the worst policy.
Liu Che will never use it until the last moment, when the skin is broken.
Liu Che secretly slipped the bamboo slip through his sleeve and handed it to a young eunuch beside him. Then, the young eunuch immediately put it into a box with understanding.
It's funny to say that the old Liu family did not allow others to read and study the theories and ideas of the Yang Zhu School. However, after every Liu emperor ascended the throne, in addition to paying homage to the ancestral temple, he also read these few volumes of the last legacy of the Yang Zhu School.
Later, Emperor Xuan said, "The Han family has its own system, which is originally composed of Bawang Dao." This general outline of Bawang Dao is the core discussion of Yang Zhu School.
Extremely egoistic, selfish, and self-interested.
As long as it’s good for me, regardless of morality, stance, or integrity, I’ll accept everything. If it’s not good for me, no matter how extravagant it is, I’ll give it to you!
Even the emperor of the Liu family went further than the discussion of the Yang Zhu School.
They went one step further based on Yang Zhu's discussion.
Yang Zhu said, "Don't be burdened by things." Liu has reached the state of "Don't be burdened by the world."
"However, there is still a shortcoming..." Liu Che thought in his mind: "In the future, I should add the prince or alternate prince to the sequence of learning Yang Zhu's thoughts..."
"This way there should be no fools like Yuan Chengai..."
When I thought about it again, something seemed wrong.
By asking the prince or potential prince to learn from Yang Zhu, wouldn't it be an initiative to increase the chances of a palace coup?
Think about it, a group of sons who are egoistic and self-centered and "don't worry about the world" will be anxious when they see the emperor sitting on the throne who is still waiting to die?
It would be weird if you don’t think out of your wits!
"I'd better do it myself..." Liu Che thought to himself, "Write a simple and straightforward introduction to the governing thoughts and thoughts like **** Taizu's Thoughts and Quotations, or you can ask Sima Tan to join in and help.
Record it and write it into something like a memoir?"
Liu Che felt that this idea could be given a try.
To be continued...
