Since the Shaoliang War between Qin and Wei a hundred years ago, various countries have set off another wave of reforms. It was also during that period that the three schools of Legalism were established, each holding its own power, and practicing it in various countries in order to achieve greater heights.
Next, determine the legalist orthodoxy.
The most obvious theory of rule by law is Li Kui and Shang Yang, the most obvious theory of rule by technique is Shen Bu Hua, and the theory of rule by force is based on caution. In the eyes of hundreds of schools of thought during the Warring States Period, although the three theories of rule by law, technique, and force are
There are differences, but the fundamental point is the same, which is the recognition of the rule of law as the foundation.
Only for this reason, during the Warring States Period, the three theories of magic and force were regarded as an interconnected and mutually reinforcing body, and they were collectively called Legalism. However, this kind of general naming could not be recognized by the Legalist community.
In Legalism, the distinction between the three theories is very clear, and no one would confuse Dharma, Technique, and Power into the same term. It can be said that Legalism actually has three factions, and they are three factions that are difficult to integrate with each other.
Among the three, Shizhi is the core origin. What is Shizhi?
Powerful person refers to a person's position in the power framework. A high position is important, and a low position is light. This is called power. "Shang Shu Jun Chen" says: There is no power to rely on. This power is power position.
Legalist talk about potential clearly points to the power and position of the king, which is the highest power of the country. The reason why Shen Dao regards the rule of potential as the essence of the rule of law is that the basic concept is: the highest power is the starting point of all governing powers. Without power, there will be no power.
You cannot govern the country.
He once said in "Shenzi": Yao was an ordinary man and could not rule three people. Jie was the emperor and could bring chaos to the world. This shows that power and position are enough to rely on, but sages are not admired. This is evident.
It's a pity that only having supreme power can govern the country well?
Obviously not possible!
Later, people who valued the law, such as Li Kui and Shang Yang, emerged in response to the times and positioned the foundation of national governance as the rule of law. They believed that once the law was established, it would have the highest power and could not be shaken. As the saying goes, the whole country has one law and only the law must be obeyed.
This is what they all mean.
What is the rule of law? What the Legalists call "shu" is the way to govern officials, which is called rule of law. During the Warring States Period, Shen Buhai was the leader in the theory of rule of law, and was regarded by the world as a Legalist sect that stood side by side with Shang Yang's theory of rule of law.
.
The foundation of the concept of Shenbula's rule of law is that both power and law must be formulated and implemented by the crowd. This crowd is the ministers led by the king. If the king controls the ministers to obtain the law, the laws and decrees can be implemented smoothly
, otherwise there will be no rule in the world.
"Shenzi" says: Shen Buha taught Zhaohou how to control his subordinates.
The concept of Shuzhi is rooted in the corruption and difficulty of investigating official administration, and it is believed that clear and transparent official administration is the foundation for the prosperity of the country and the stability of the people. This concept is not inappropriate.
The key point here is the distortion and deformation seen by the Technique School after the practice of the reform. The so-called distortions are various secret power tactics. Once they are widely implemented as the main means of governing the country, they will inevitably distort the established laws and make the country's legal system exist in name only.
Once such power becomes universal, the operating rules of state power and the various laws that regulate social life will be completely submerged in secret power. Due to the popularity of power, the entire country's governance will actually be transformed into a kind of manipulation.
Therefore, Shen Buha, Prime Minister of Korea, carried out the reform for 20 years. Although the officials governed the Qingming Dynasty, once he died, Korea fell directly into the abyss and could never recover. The current King of Han is the inheritor of the sect of martial arts.
Manipulating the government with power and intrigue, intrigues between kings and ministers, intrigues among officials, and peering at each other. All parties are groping in the dark, and everyone is in danger. How can we be pragmatic and honest?
"Qiang Hanshu" was ridiculed in the West Palace Hall of the Han Palace as soon as it was written. Isn't it the harm of the rule of thumb?
In a word, as a result of the pervasive power of power, politicians only regard self-preservation as the highest goal, regard one's own outcome as the highest interest, and the noble character of taking the rise and fall of the country as their own responsibility and daring to sacrifice has disappeared!
The young man wearing a light green brocade robe was gentle and elegant. Hearing the words of the two people in the quiet room, he couldn't help but take a step forward and bowed his hands. At this moment, the only way is to first take control of the situation, take charge of the power, and then use
Only by coming out of this and formulating various strategies can Korea have hope.
"The general trend is not with you. The King of Han and Han Yu admired the rule of law and put political strategy first. Decades ago, in order to divert the pressure from the Qin State, they ceded the Shangdang land originally promised to the Qin State to the Zhao State.
Here comes the battle of Changping!"
"More than ten years ago, in order to weaken the pressure of the Qin State, they cut eight cities and funded the Zhou Dynasty in Luoyang, hoping to defeat the Qin State and avoid the Qin State. Unfortunately, the Qin State later perished and the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed."
"After Lord Xinling led other countries to defeat the Qin State, South Korea did not think about reform, but instead ordered the Zheng State to enter the Qin Dynasty and implement a strategy to weaken the Qin State. Now, the Qin State is working hard to build the canal. In any case, the Jingshui River Canal is the only one among the Six Kingdoms.
It cannot be stopped."
"The laws of heaven and earth must be implemented without hesitation. The meaning of quicksand's existence is not just decoration! You...should know that if this continues, Korea will not have long left!"
The man in black, holding a shark-tooth sword in one hand, stood by the window. There was a faint black light all over his body, and a trace of coldness appeared. He listened to Zhang Liang's words and did not take it seriously. At this time, he was still arguing about the so-called strategies of the three schools of Legalism.
, useless work!
If you continue to cut off, you will surely suffer chaos!
If you listen to your own words, hold the sword to quell the chaos in Xinzheng, take the throne as before, get rid of the old and welcome the new, wouldn't it be happy? If you continue like this, neither South Korea nor Quicksand will end well.
"Since the King of Qin came to the throne, he eliminated the internal troubles of Lu Buwei, the Marquis of Wenxin, and Lao Ai, the Marquis of Changxin. When the Jingshui River canal was formed, the foundation of the Qin State was built. Just like the general trend of the world, there is no way to recuperate and accumulate strength."
"In total, South Korea still has five to eight years at most. What are you going to do?"
Her high purple boots stepped on the wooden board, and she gently fiddled with the stove in the quiet room with one hand. Her long purple hair was like a waterfall, her tall and slender figure was graceful, and her whole body was filled with a mysterious purple auspicious light.
Following the man in black, he spoke in a crisp voice, his charming purple eyes moving, and he whispered softly. Although it sounded shallow, it had a heavy meaning. Five to eight years still counted one or two more.
"Korea is weak. Since ancient times, there is only one way for a weak country: hold your breath and fix your internal affairs. This is why Gou Jian, the king of Yue, became the hegemon!"
"If South Korea today can carry out reforms without any distractions, clearly understand its laws and prohibitions, ensure its rewards and punishments, cut off its nobles, and use all its land to make the people have the ambition to fight to the death, then South Korea will be strong!"
"If this is the case, even if a few years later, Qin will dominate the world, South Korea will also have the power to resist. With the help of the five Shandong countries, the enemy will definitely suffer heavy losses if they attack us. Even if there are thousands of countries, no one dares to stand under the strong city."
"For the current plan, the only way is to use martial arts to break in and open up the other two paths. In the current situation of the court, the only thing that can be cut through is..."
The noble prince in purple clothes drank slowly again. Although he faced many difficulties and great dangers, his face showed no trace of anxiety or worry. He was still as calm as an ancient well, as calm as jade.
He spoke slowly and said that the "Qiang Han Shu" has been submitted. Although it was not accepted by his father, he could also see the current situation in the court from it, which would be helpful for the next plan.
Facing Zi Nu's expectant gaze, the noble man in purple's eyes slowly fell on Zhang Liang.

"Master, you have come to Xianyang!"
During the chaos of the Warring States Period, each country had its own way. Compared with the Qin State, the whole country's power was on the Jingshui River. For a time, the huge Xianyang City was deserted. However, at this juncture, the city gate guards were
Much more rigorous than usual.
In the area where the important ministers lived in the west city of Xianyang, Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom was also located here. For several years in the Qin Dynasty, Proton wanted to leave Xianyang and return to the Yan Kingdom, but unfortunately he never had the chance. The surrounding area was tightly blocked by people in the net, and his every move was blocked.
Someone is watching.
Originally, he wanted to use the power of Concubine Dongjun Yan of the Yin and Yang family to escape from the Qin Kingdom. However, before he could succeed, Concubine Dongjun Yan was transferred away from Xianyang by the King of Qin and went north to the canal.
However, I never expected that when I was bored reading in the mansion today, I would meet the Taifu Ju Wu who was in the Yan Kingdom in the past. Speaking of which, the Taifu and I were both descendants of the Yan Kingdom's royal family, so we felt very close to each other.
.
"Your Highness, after several years, you and I finally meet again."
Wearing the clothes of ordinary Qin people, with gray and white robes, long black hair tied high, and square eyebrows, he is a middle-aged man with a capable appearance. His words are full of the elegance of the Yan country. Listen to Yan Dan
For a moment, I had mixed feelings in my ears.
"Tai Tuo, this place has been monitored by people trapped in the net. Why did you come here suddenly? Did your father send you here?"
As the King of Qin came to power, his life in Xianyang became increasingly difficult. He saw the goal of the Qin State very clearly. As long as the Jingshui Canal was built, it was to accumulate national power and carry out the general trend of the world, and his own existence was
It will be a good chess piece in the future.
Because of this, Qin Wangzheng will never let himself leave Xianyang City, nor will he allow outsiders to have too much contact with him. Otherwise, he will not gain much in the past few years.
"No, I came here on my own. Now the Qin State is experiencing a drought, and the national power is overwhelming the Jingshui River. All the way into the pass, I saw that there are many troubles in Qin's country, so Ju Wu thought, this should be to save His Highness from the Qin State.
Good time.”
Under the guidance of Yan Dan, he quickly walked into the hall, closed the door, and kept away from everyone so as not to be noticed by outsiders. Hearing Yan Dan's words, Ju Wu shook his head gently. Since His Highness the Crown Prince left, the other young masters
It started to show up, and the king didn't pay much attention to His Highness's wishes.
For this reason, he came to Qin alone to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, please rest assured that the people surrounding the trap have been led away by the knights brought by Ju Wu. They will not notice this place in a short time."
"Ju Wu also has a detailed understanding of His Highness's situation in Qin. I'm afraid it's not easy to borrow internal power. Therefore, Ju Wu's trip brought chivalrous swordsmen from the land of Yan and Zhao."
"With their help, if nothing happens, His Highness can be rescued from Xianyang and returned to Yan Kingdom in a few days!"
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's cautiousness, a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction flashed across Ju Wu's face. The Qin State was really too powerful. It had agreed to send an envoy to the Yan State to become the prime minister, and the Yan State sent Prince Dan as a hostage to Qin.
However, after Prince Dan entered the Qin Dynasty, the Qin State violated the covenant and was really a barbarian. Thinking of this, his eyes flashed faintly, and he bowed deeply to Yan Dan again.
