Soon after, Gao Ming quickly walked into the hall and reported to Emperor Ziwei: "Master Qi, Lord Zuo Fuxing has arrived outside the hall."
After hearing what Gao Ming said, Emperor Ziwei woke up from his deep thoughts. He looked outside the hall and saw Gao Jue leading Guan Zhong to wait outside the hall.
Emperor Ziwei said to Gao Ming: "Xuan!"
Immediately, Gao Ming and Gao Jue led Guan Zhong into the main hall. The two handed over the decree and immediately stood around.
Guan Zhong then bowed and saluted, saying: "I, Zuo Fu Xingjun Guan Zhong, pay my respects to the emperor. May the emperor's spiritual path prosper forever!"
"Get up!" As Guan Zhong stood up, Emperor Ziwei observed him carefully. Combined with the memories of later generations, he was able to confirm that Guan Zhong should be able to fulfill his instructions.
He shouted: "Guan Aiqing!"
"I'm here!"
"I have a matter that is of great importance to me. I want you to handle it. Are you willing to share my worries?"
"I would also like to ask the emperor to show me that I must do my best to repay the emperor for his kindness!"
Emperor Ziwei heard this and said with a smile: "Okay! Just listen to me!"
"In the lower world today, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is in chaos. Countries have risen and wars are endless! However, although the human race is in chaos, there are countless theories sprouting to educate the world!"
"This chaos is both a disaster and an opportunity! After the human race passes through this disaster, it will surely prosper in the three realms."
"I was born in the human race, and I also want to write a book and spread it to the world. It will not only contribute to the rise of the human race, but also lay the foundation for my future path."
"Now I want to send you down to the next world to teach me a doctrine, so that people in the world can hear my true words and understand the true meaning of the great road!"
When Guan Zhong heard this, without any consideration at all, he hurriedly paid homage and said: "I will obey your Majesty's decree!"
Emperor Ziwei heard this and said with a smile: "Okay! I'll take care of Aiqing's descent to the realm this time. I'll personally welcome you back to the heaven after your meritorious deeds are completed!"
Guan Zhong bowed and stood up, and replied in a deep voice: "I am an ordinary person, and I am lonely and old before the collapse. I trust your majesty to be close and trustworthy, and I am as simple as the sky!"
"I have nothing to say about my merits in the world and your Majesty. Now I have gained your majesty's trust and entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. I will definitely dedicate myself to it and live up to your majesty's expectations!"
"good!"
Emperor Ziwei was very satisfied after hearing what Guan Zhong said. This Guan Zhong is worthy of being a prime minister through the ages and has the ability to assist the king.
He continued: "Listen carefully, my theory is called 'Dharma'. What is Dharma? Dharma is law, code and decree!"
"In ancient times, there was a strange beast called the Xie Zhi. Its body was as large as a cow, and as small as a sheep. It was similar to a unicorn. It had thick, dark hair all over its body. Its eyes were bright and lively, and it usually had a horn on its forehead. It was commonly known as
The unicorn. It has angry eyes, can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, loyalty from evil, and is also known as the divine sheep."
"I now follow the example of Xie Zhi and set up a family called 'Dharma', so as to put an end to the injustice in the world and make the good and evil, loyal and traitorous, have their own retribution!"
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Ziwei combined the memories of later generations to explain the thoughts, principles, implementation, and some important clauses of Legalism one by one.
Guan Zhong listened very attentively. Gradually, he felt that what Emperor Ziwei said was very reasonable, and he felt a sense of recognition from the bottom of his heart.
This was not because of his status as a subordinate, nor because of Emperor Ziwei's appreciation and support for him, but because of the sense of recognition that rose deep in his heart and felt that this was how it should be.
In the past, before he became a god, he had already inadvertently used the law when governing the country.
At that time, he did not delve into the rationale, he just felt that it should be done and it would be beneficial to the country.
After listening to what the emperor said today, I realized the mystery behind it. Because of this, he felt a sense of identity from the bottom of his heart.
It was precisely because of this that Emperor Ziwei chose Guan Zhong to have this son instead of anyone else.
A like-minded person with a sense of identity is obviously more qualified than a puppet who only follows orders.
This Legalism was broad and profound, and became very popular in later generations. Its influence is still greater than that of Confucianism. It is also known as Confucianism and Legalism. When other Confucianisms are placed side by side, we can see the potential of Legalism.
Confucianism is a doctrine alongside Taoism and Buddhism.
Tao, Buddha is the sect of Tao, and the ideas upheld by Buddhism are the ways of saints.
Confucianism has gained a firm foothold among the human race without the Hunyuan sage. It can even be compared with Taoism and Buddhism, which shows how extraordinary Confucianism is.
Law and Confucianism are mutually exclusive, and they are the way to govern the country that later generations of countries relied on. It can be seen that his thoughts and the great principles contained in them are not inferior to others.
Yang Tuo came from a later generation and learned a lot, so he can be said to be well-informed.
The essence of what he learned does not lie in the historical methods he pioneered, nor in the farming skills he passed down, nor in the study of objects he knew.
The study of studying things is the evolution of the Tao, and everything is in the Tao. As long as you seek the Tao, ask questions, and understand the Tao, you will gain something.
Although there are tens of thousands of farmers using this technique, it is still just the method of the Great Dao. If you respect the technique and practice it, you can summarize it by observing the astronomy and geography.
Only history and law are different and can educate the world.
Although history cannot be described, it records the words of the world. Everything and everything is included in it.
Laws are for the purpose of rules, an extension of the great road, and a good way to govern the three realms. Not only will there be laws in the human world, but there will also be laws in the heavens, and there will be laws in the underworld.
All kinds of phenomena are enough to show that the law serves the purpose of heaven and earth and is a regular expression with infinite potential.
When he first established the historian theory, Yang Tuo also considered the legalist theory. Looking at its potential, the legalist theory was even higher than the historian.
But in the end, Yang Tuo still chose "history" instead of "law"! Although there are flaws in the law, it is also Yang Tuo's choice of his own way.
Obviously, the way of history is more suitable for Yang Tuo's own way than the way of law.
Although Legalism has great potential, it also has its shortcomings. That is, its provisions are rigid and do not know how to adapt them. This has both its advantages and its disadvantages.
The benefit lies in the fact that the law is immutable, can reduce the influence of human factors, and can maintain the fairness of the law. This is the bottom line for the existence of "law".
If the law is unfair, it can be like ants breaking a dike, corroding the justice of the world; or it can be like a building about to collapse, the sky collapses and the earth collapses, and chaos is reborn, without distinguishing between pure and dirty, and unable to distinguish between good and evil.
The world will return to the ancient times, where all living beings live like hair and drink blood, with no respect for benevolence, righteousness and morality, and no distinction between loyalty, treachery, good and evil.
If good people are not rewarded with good things and evil people are not rewarded with bad things, chaos will arise and there will never be peace in heaven and earth.
This is the foundation of law and the self-restraint of rules.
But also because of this, many problems will arise.
Rigid terms and conditions, without caring about the heart, will eventually lead to moral decay and no kindness and righteousness. At that time, people will only follow rigid terms, have no kindness, and are indifferent and selfish.
However, everything in the world has yin and yang, and there is good and evil. Since there is a good side, there will naturally be shortcomings.
Legalism is not the only one. All schools of thought have their shortcomings. Even Confucianism, the leader of hundreds of schools of thought, is not perfect.
Therefore, Yang Tuo finally chose the path of historians, which was more suitable for him, rather than the path of Legalism, which had greater potential.
He values the inclusiveness of history more. No matter what sect he is, he will not regard the way of history as his enemy.
Among these hundreds of schools of thought, in addition to some people who came into being at the right time, there are also many who are powerful enough to reverse catastrophes in the lower realms.
Hundreds of schools of thought are contending, and this is a world of great contention. Once you get deep into it, there may be endless cause and effect.
At this time, the moral merit of history is revealed. It is like a bystander, only recording and not expressing any opinions, leaving everything to future generations to understand on their own.
In this way, if cause and effect do not interfere, then you will have the opportunity to become enlightened!
