Chapter 437: Rivers and mountains can be painted, and the widow should be this mentor!
Of course, Zhiyao did not say that he would destroy the Zhou royal family, but a smart person would definitely be able to see something.
After all, before the Zhi family turned their family into a country, they successively destroyed Qiu You, Zhongshan, Xianyu and Weiguo.
If we just destroy the country established by the Di people, everyone will just applaud and not think too much about it. Because it is a politically correct vassal state that has the ability to do it. Who doesn't want to destroy a few foreign countries for fun?
The demise of Weiguo will show some clues.
In fact, people in the world did not think too complicatedly. Even if the Zhi family found an excuse for "revenge", it was because Wei and Jin were in constant trouble. The two countries were constantly fighting over each other, and they obviously did not break away.
Traditional approach.
It was different when the Zhi family succeeded the Jin Dynasty and immediately destroyed the Qi state. Later, they also wanted to destroy the Lu state, which is enough to make people see that the Zhi family... at least Zhiyao's desire for expansion was too strong.
Zengzi asked: "Why did the Marquis of Yuan send troops to Lu?"
Zhiyao could not say that the monarchs and ministers of Lu were too arrogant, especially since the Luan Shu era. He could only say: "The chaos in the world was caused by Sanhuan. In the early chaos, Lu could destroy it and just sit back and watch the chaos.
Drive them to invade the princes, and then drive them into the south to attack the country and destroy it."
In any case, the slave rebellion broke out in the State of Lu, and the State of Lu must have the strength to put it out. It chose a kind of indulgence, and later drove the bandit Zhi and his troops to the river basin.
How many countries are there around the river basin? Anyway, Jin is one country, which obviously threatens the Zhi family's fiefdom.
The Wei Kingdom in the original history was severely invaded. At one point, Bandit Zhi led his troops to hide in the city, watching the villages being looted and destroyed. Not only the Wei Kingdom suffered, but also many small countries.
Tragic, then the state of Lu expanded violently.
In this version of history, the Bandit Zhi team had no chance to enter the Wei territory and wreak havoc. Unfortunately, they became those small pocket countries in the south of the Lu State. The Li State (Xiao Zhu), which was separated from the Zhu State, was directly destroyed.
Zengzi was speechless after hearing this. He couldn't find any reason for Lu to avoid punishment.
The State of Lu wanted to use rioting slaves to confuse other countries, and even caused the destruction of other countries. What kind of country is it called a gentleman?
Since the State of Lu could do that kind of thing, is there anything wrong with the State of Yuan sending troops to attack the State of Lu? Not only did it not happen, but it even made the princes who suffered deeply suffer a bad breath.
After a long time, Zengzi asked: "Isn't the original Marquis Bing Lu?"
Zhiyao understands.
Zengzi was a man who cared about his motherland and was unwilling to serve the Yuan Kingdom, which was attacking Lu.
To be honest, Zhiyao was not that disappointed. It was all because Zengzi's unification was not what Zhiyao needed, and the "people" in Zengzi's eyes were only the "scholars" and above, and did not include ordinary people.
It is not surprising that the current aristocrats or down-and-out aristocrats can treat ordinary people as human beings. They are considered good people even if they give some alms and talk about equality. It is really difficult to expect more.
Zengzi and Zhiyao were not the same people just because of their views on Li Shu.
Of course, Zhiyao is willing to treat Li Shu kindly and has his own plans. He just wants to tap out greater potential to increase national power and serve his own great cause.
This kind of "everyone takes what he needs" is actually very good. At least it will give ordinary people more channels for advancement, and it will not only change the destiny of contemporary people in a short time. It is not an exaggeration to say that "the merits will last for a long time".
Why is Confucius so respected and has such a valid reason? It’s because he broke the restrictions on the spread of knowledge and was willing to use his family’s knowledge to spread it to the outside world.
Zhiyao is already engaged in the cause of breaking up his family and serving his country. He uses the land in his name to reward meritorious people. Whether he can get a reward is no longer based on blood, but purely on merit. Breaking the shackles of the "blood theory" is a feat.
, far greater than some people who only talk but don’t do anything.
What's the key point? Zhiyao doesn't just reward a few people with glory and wealth. The rewards they receive may not be many, but they benefit a large number of people.
Not many leaders in the past dynasties were able to do this, and most of them only took care of the people within their sight.
The rest of the people don’t understand, haven’t seen it, and just accept their destiny.
This is one of the reasons why people always like to hang out with big guys. It is better to just look familiar than to have no impression at all.
But what? Joining the boss is actually a blessing and a disaster. Because not everyone can survive until the day when a follower becomes a boss, and more people fall by the wayside.
Despite some differences in philosophy, Zhiyao still very much hoped that Zengzi could serve his country.
This is not because Zhiyao knew that Zengzi’s son Zeng Shen had a student named Wu Qi. Obviously, Zhiyao probably couldn’t wait until Wu Qi was born.
The main reason is that Zhiyao vaguely remembers that Zengzi wrote many works, including the "Great Learning".
"Since I don't want to go there, I can't turn a blind eye to the school I'm running. In the future, money and food should be sent every month to help students," Zhiyao said.
Zengzi wanted to refuse, but he lived in the original country and had already refused to serve in the country before, and even refused to be a student. It was almost like slapping Zhiyao repeatedly in the face.
Someone runs a school in the original country, and the students they teach may not necessarily join the original country. It can only be said that the possibility is relatively high.
After all, Zengzi’s school is located in the original country, and most of the people who come to study will be from the original country. Individuals will have a sense of belonging, whether it is meager or strong. After they have achieved success in their studies, their first target will basically be
Choose your home country.
"Does this matter interfere with your Majesty's hegemony?" Zhi Xuwu's eyes flashed fiercely.
Most of the people accompanying him felt that Zeng Shen was ignorant of good and evil. The monarch personally came to recruit him and showed enough courtesy and courtesy. How could he be so ignorant of good and evil?
You must know that Zhiyao is the king of the most powerful country today.
Let’s look back at history again. Confucius struggled and traveled all his life to become an official. No princely state was willing to accept him. The time Chu State summoned Confucius as an official was more like a joke.
Most of the Confucian sects could only serve as officials in the State of Lu. After leaving the State of Lu, not many princes were willing to accept him, and how many people could personally enjoy the monarch's solicitation. Zeng Shen actually refused.
"It will be a bit of a blow to the reputation. If done properly, it might help, right?" Zhiyao thought to herself.
To be helpful, Zhiyao needs to do something else, such as actually funding Zengzi's school, and then making a big noise to express to the world: Yuan Junyao loves talents, even if he is rejected.
He will not become angry, he is willing to respect educated people, and he will provide substantial help.
After returning to "Puyang", the failure to recruit Zengzi was downplayed, and encouraging talented people in the countryside to run schools was put on the agenda.
In Zhiyao's series of administrative orders, people who want to run schools in villages or cities can apply for help. Once their qualifications are recognized, how much money, food, paper, pens, ink, etc. will be provided by the original Congress every year, and they are even willing to provide teaching materials.
.
Do you need qualification certification? It can be regarded as a teaching license. Zhiyao’s calculations are very loud!
What kind of teaching materials? Zhiyao used "Huang Father" as a place to teach and educate people. How could he not tinker with some teaching materials for twenty or thirty years?
This time, Zhiyao will still find time to write a book, and she must fill in enough private goods.
Those private articles will basically be Zhiyao's personal opinions and opinions, and there will definitely be articles written by Beitian Lingren, and then the theory of unification will be stuffed into them.
Zhiyao has written many works, and his writings are probably the most widely disseminated among contemporary writers.
Just one "Huang Father" has admitted nearly 100,000 people to school in sixteen years. I dare not say that everyone has studied Zhiyao's works, and the proportion will definitely not be small.
It is said that "Huangfu" is the largest academic city in contemporary times, and it definitely deserves its name. However, "Huangfu" has a more obvious function of special training, which is not the same function as the "Jixia Academy" opened by Qi State in history.
"Your Majesty, there are many Confucians in the land of Lu. It is difficult to guard against the Confucianism! Why not set up a forum in Qufu to debate the actions of the ministers of the State of Lu?" Zhimu said. (Copied from this chapter of the book friend Shenxianmu)
)
You can't directly scold the king, but there's no problem in scolding the ministers, right?
Confucians? A group of people who are very eloquent. Their repeated "beep beeps" this time are not purely to fight against the injustice of the Lu State, but more to scold the Zhi family for having too strong desire for expansion.
Small and medium-sized vassal states certainly don't want powerful countries to have excessive desires for expansion. They will perish under such desires, or become a one-city state.
There is another reason for the Confucian scholars to criticize the Yuan Kingdom, that is, the Yuan Kingdom did not follow the Zhou Rites, and it was intensified on the basis of the Jin Kingdom's destruction of the Zhou Rites.
Of course there is nothing wrong with the system of Sangong and Jiuqing. What's the point of changing some official names and functions? Zhi's challenge to ethics is tantamount to digging up the ancestral graves of Confucianism. It's strange that they don't jump on it.
Zhiyao pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Maybe it's feasible?"
Don’t Confucians like to talk? Then let’s get together and have a good talk. There are so many sects of Confucianism, believe it or not, you will eventually be beaten into pieces.
To be honest, even in the Spring and Autumn Period or the early Warring States Period, there were many sects of Confucianism, but their reputations were not great. It was not until the Huang-Lao School was suppressed during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty that the melee within the Confucian sect was called that exciting, Confucius'
Future generations will end up digging out a fake "Shang Shu" from the wall to play with it.
Zhimu's suggestion was approved, with a glorious expression on his face.
However, Zhiyao's forum for debate in "Qufu" was not limited to whether Lu should be destroyed or not. He felt that it could play a far greater role than imagined.
Should the State of Lu be beaten? Directly attack the State of Lu and allow the slaves to rebel. Some princes will side with the original country. At the same time, the princes are not willing to see the destruction of the State of Lu.
Zhiyao looked at the stack of books on the desk and saw the two big words "Dharma Sutra" on the cover, and there was hesitation on his face.
This is one of Zhiyao's works. It refers to some of the views of the ancient giant Guan Yiwu, as well as some of the thoughts of Shihui, Zhao Yang, and Zhongxing Wu. There is also an unavoidable character named Zichan.
Those were all pioneers of Legalism and had expressed their respective views one after another.
Zhiyao was not hesitating whether to use the finished product as a teaching material, but what he was hesitating about was the naming of the book.
This is not an era where names can be chosen randomly, especially the word "经" cannot be used randomly.
It is conceivable that once Zhiyao releases the "Dharma Sutra", it will not only steal Li Kui's job, but also cause a lot of doubts!
Of course, Zhiyao hesitated for a moment and immediately became determined.
Some things have to be done by someone, and Zhiyao hopes that it will be done by herself!
