What Zhiyao pursues is "dharma", not "power" or "skill". There is a big difference between the three.
In fact, the "law", "skill" and "power" of Legalism have always been the monarch's most loyal hawks and dogs. No matter what they are at the core, they all help the monarch rule the country.
Regarding "method", "skill" and "momentum", what is the core? I won't go into details here.
What Zhiyao wants is a system. He has made clear rewards and punishments in advance. In the process, he will repeatedly seek to change the old order. For the time being, he is still trying to implement the farming war system and has not confirmed the farming war system.
In fact, the main reason is that Zhiyao has not watched "Han Feizi", otherwise it would be very good to use it to govern the parliament.
Many things Zhiyao is currently doing are copying Shang Yang's work, but he has not copied it thoroughly. Part of it is that Zhiyao does not know the whole process of Shang Yang's reforms, and the other reason is that the environment Zhiyao is in is not consistent with the environment Shang Yang faces.
Shang Yang could take advantage of the moment when the Qin State had just experienced the defeat of Hexi and the established forces were at their weakest to offend all the vested interest groups. Anyway, the biggest pressure was shouldered by Qin Xiaogong, and there was also a young master who was obviously very unhappy but could distinguish good from evil.
Qian helped suppress the conservatives.
Whatever Zhiyao destroys is considered his own. Before he destroys it, he has to withstand the pressure from other high-ranking families and external countries. Once he destroys it, he will attack his relatives. Will all the forces watch?
When it comes to copying homework, you need to have basic judgment. If you insist on copying everything when the environment is obviously different, your ashes will be raised immediately!
Zhiyao has not done anything spectacular all this time, but only a smooth and silent operation. It took more than ten years to change it bit by bit. Many people did not react at all and it became an established fact.
Zhiyao likes this way of doing things very much. She quietly accumulates bit by bit. When a certain amount is accumulated, it actually means that the trend has been achieved. What can she do when the time comes that is not overwhelming?
"Your Majesty." Jaeyu came in under the guidance of his husband.
Tai Hu and Fu Liao don't have a strong sense of existence, but they are the two people Zhiyao trusts the most.
There is no way around it. Anyone who has served since he was young and has spent more than twenty years proving his loyalty will still gain sufficient trust, even if his abilities are somewhat mediocre.
As for whether to reuse it, that's basically another matter.
Just because you have served for a long enough time, even if you have not made any great achievements, if you have accumulated hard work over a long period of time, you don't have to worry about the treatment of yourself and your descendants.
Zhiyao first asked Zaiyu to sit down and asked, "Is Mr. Lu okay?"
This time the war between Wu and Qi broke out in "Ai Ling", to some extent it was because of Lu.
Of course, without Lu State, Wu State would still continue to invade Qi State, and a war would break out between the two sides either in "Ai Ling" or somewhere.
However, it has become an established fact that 100,000 Wu troops and 100,000 Qi troops opened up in "Ai Ling". No matter which direction you look at it, Lu owes Wu a huge favor.
The early Lu State was indeed a state of etiquette, and its mission was to convince people with virtue. It was only after they successively annexed many surrounding countries that the Lu State's sphere of influence expanded. Their "virtue" was the weapon in the hands of their soldiers.
Later, the State of Lu still flaunted itself as a state of etiquette, but unfortunately its "virtue" was seriously lacking and it became more and more pursuing formal etiquette.
Zhiyao knows how to get along with Lu people, no matter how troublesome it is, she can never forget the proper procedures.
Zaiyu felt ashamed and said: "I have selfish motives, please punish me."
Don't think that "Confucianism" does not pursue rewards and punishments. The "ritual" they value is itself a part of rewards and punishments.
What Zaiyu was talking about was his disloyalty as an envoy of the Jin State, and he persuaded the Lu State to give in, which prevented the Jin army from attacking the city and plundering more territory.
Zhiyao ignored it and asked, "Can I meet with Master Kong?"
She already knew what would happen if she sent Zaiyu to "Qufu". Zhiyao knew that Zaiyu was not a fool, so she couldn't guess it.
Things that everyone knows well are things that only "Confucianists" can reveal. To dwell on this topic too much will only embarrass both of them.
Zaiyu said: "My master believes that stopping Wu from advancing north was a great achievement for Jin. It is only a courtesy to return Ai Ling."
Could it be that we only pick out nice things to say?
Zaiyu did not hesitate and said: "Jin's attack on Lu was a loss of virtue, and plundering Qi was an act of a beast."
Well, I can only say that he is worthy of Confucius. What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. Whether it is subjective or not is another matter.
Zhiyao shook his head and said: "How can the words of the Master Kong family be determined when he plans his own affairs in his position?"
Zaiyu is just repeating Confucius' original words, and he himself rather agrees with Zhiyao's sentence of "people should seek their own government in their own position" as the final conclusion.
That's the truth. Zhiyao is from Jin, and he is the heir of the Zhi family. The interests of the Jin country and the Zhi family must be given priority. We can't say what's wrong or what methods were used. It's natural for outsiders to judge at will. As will be discussed later.
There will be no such thing as revenge from Zhishi, just bear it.
Zhiyao asked again: "Is Shi Kong annotating poetry?"
Zaiyu replied: "My teacher believes that it should be innocent, and it does have the meaning of removing evil and adding poetry."
What does it mean? It means that Confucius wanted to remove all the things that he thought were inappropriate, leaving only those things that he thought were in line with ethics.
In the eyes of contemporary people, it is an act of "one word", and waiting for Confucius to become a saint is "saying: thinking without evil".
Zhiyao asked: "How about giving me the title of Master Kong?"
Jae Yu simply shut up. He was a disciple, and speaking out about what he felt was right or wrong was against the "Confucian" principle of respecting teachers and respecting moral principles.
Seeing Zhiyao asking Confucius's disciples, only a fool would not understand Zhiyao's attitude.
"What was written by the forefathers, was concealed by future generations? The nations couldn't help it because they had their own intentions." Zhiyao could only say that Confucius simply worried about the nations.
This made Jaeyu very embarrassed, but he couldn't come up with any rebuttal. He just hoped that the disciples would not let him down, otherwise Confucius would make a joke.
Zhiyao asked again: "I heard that the words and deeds of Kong, the Confucian scholar, want to be passed down to future generations?"
What is this situation? Confucianism, which pays the most attention to etiquette, has blatantly gone overboard.
The person who has the right to record history is the historian, and writing it in private is not at all in line with the ethics pursued by "Confucianism", and is extremely offensive to the monarch.
Do you believe that if word spread about what the disciples were doing, historians from all over the world would suddenly block the door of Confucius's house?
Once the princes of various countries know such a thing, they should queue up and ask Confucius when he will establish his own country. Otherwise, how can he be treated as a king who records his every word and deed?
Therefore, Jaeyu was even more embarrassed and lowered his head in shame.
In the current era, what the disciples did was really against the rules, and if exposed, they would be liquidated.
Therefore, while Zaiyu was extremely embarrassed, no matter how ashamed he looked, he looked up at Zhiyao again, with a pleading look on his face.
"Who leaked the secret? Something big is going to happen now!" Jaeyu was scared to death.
For Zhiyao, it was purely out of curiosity about what his disciples and Confucius were doing in his spare time, and he would not take the initiative to expose them, nor would he keep what they did a secret.
What is the reality? What Zhiyao will do in the future is far more extreme than Confucius and a group of disciples. What he talked about with Jaeyu today is nothing more than a long-term "forward" transaction.
When it is Zhiyao's turn to split the Jin Kingdom, or to carry out the Jin Dynasty, should the disciples who like to write short stories show mercy in their writing and be virtuous in their words?
What Zhiyao did was not an exaggeration at all. You only need to know who will have the authority to record and interpret history books one day. You should know how prescient Zhiyao's prevention was.
Jaeyu left soaking wet and was about to write a letter, and he would write a lot of letters. No one would be left behind, and they would be sent out one by one.
Of course, Jaeyu knew that he could only temporarily scare the disciples who were doing certain things. If it was not exposed for a while, they would continue to do what they should, and most likely they would be more unscrupulous.
Why are you being more unscrupulous? It's not that Zhishi had the information but didn't disclose it. The disciples believed that it was endorsed by Zhishi and could be used to frighten many people.
Half a month before winter, Zhiyao and Zhishen set out on their way home.
The people who stayed in "Tan" included Zhixu Wu and Zilu. Among them, Zhixuwu was the chief general, and Zilu was responsible for patrolling the place.
In addition, Zilu still doesn’t know what Zhiyao and Zaiyu talked about.
Zaiyu would never take the initiative to tell Zilu, otherwise Zilu would have gone to the State of Lu to angrily rebuke Confucius and beat up a bunch of disciples.
To be honest, Zi Lu did a lot of similar things. His disciples were basically no match for Zi Lu, but Confucius was evenly matched with Zi Lu when he was young.
Zhiyao returned to "Xintian" and immediately accepted the apology from the State of Lu. When she checked, she found the ritual utensils.
"Who sent this?" Zhiyao felt that there was a big problem inside.
Not everyone can use or collect ritual utensils. Someone in Lu State may have accidentally misplaced them, and someone in charge of escorting them will definitely check them out. They should not have been sent to the Zhi family.
Bo Bo Dao replied: "It's the Fox family."
So it was the Fox who was escorting me from the beginning to the end. After inspection, I couldn’t tell that anything was a ritual object, so I was sent here?
Here comes a new question: was it the Lu State that was careless, or was it someone who placed the ritual utensils?
No matter who the ritual vessel comes from, it is still a test of the Zhi family!
Zhiyao thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to Luoyi and hand it over to someone."
Why not Jin Junwu? One of the people Zhiyao suspected was Jin Junwu.
No matter who did it or what the temptation was, it would be the best choice for Zhi to give the ritual vessel to Emperor Zhou.
In this way, while the crisis can be resolved, Zhishi can also hold ritual vessels one day, which is not a black history of inconsistent words and deeds.
Zhiyao then ordered: "Publish this matter in a big way and pay close attention to everyone's opinions."
Expo Road couldn't understand Zhiyao's operation and asked: "Why is this?"
That is to say, I am a veteran, otherwise the execution would be like, why ask?
Zhiyao smiled and said: "It's out of emotion and in line with reason. That's it."
I handed it over, but I didn’t. People in the world will understand in the future.
