Da Qin: After becoming a saint, he stole Brother Zheng’s spot in the group

At this moment, Zhao Chen walked in again

"Brat, what's the matter with you?"

"Dad, I forgot one thing. When Da Qin fully promotes white paper and uses printing to seduce people from hundreds of schools to join Da Qin, they must bring all their own bamboo slips over. There will be no need for martial arts secret books, just for each sect. Just the doctrines and the writings of their sages.

I'm of great use! Especially for Confucianism, you must ask for the bamboo slips of many doctrines of Confucius and Yasheng!"

"Confucianism? Brat, won't you ask for it yourself? Xunzi was your teacher back then."Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Chen with a smile but not a smile.

"Ahem!"

Zhao Chen suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Isn’t this because you are young and ignorant?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was noncommittal."Really? Isn't that what you said at the beginning? Didn't you say that no dog can learn Confucianism? Why is Confucianism needed now?"

"Brat, I'm warning you, you can't be like your elder brother. He has been poisoned by Confucianism and has become too benevolent. This is not the behavior that a prince of a country should behave. Hundreds of schools of thought should be ruled by you. Tools, not your beliefs!"

Zhao Chen nodded.

He really didn't expect Ying Zheng to see it so deeply.

No wonder he was able to unify the six countries, no wonder he was so advanced in his thinking, with books sharing the same text, cars running on the same track, unifying weights and measures, and building roads.

From the perspective of this era It seems that his thinking was extremely advanced.

It has surpassed the limitations of the times.

Now it seems that all this is because he is not a slave of hundreds of schools of thought, he just uses hundreds of schools of thought as a tool for his rule.

He emphasizes pragmatism, Do not engage in formalism.

After unifying the six countries, he vigorously promoted pragmatism and emphasized the use of practical actions to test various theories and viewpoints.

He focused on practice and results, especially in the military.

He was very fond of the military. With great efforts in equipment and training, the Qin army became a powerful army at that time, thus establishing a centralized system of power for more than two thousand years in later generations. Not only that, the rule of law vigorously promoted legal thought and formulated a series of laws such as the"Laws and Orders" Regulations have greatly improved the entire level of legalization.

He believed that law is the basic means of governance, and only by governing the country according to law can long-term peace and stability be achieved.

His legal thoughts played an important role in promoting the development of the legal systems of subsequent dynasties.

More than that , he emphasized the idea of ​​centralization, vigorously promoted the idea of ​​centralization, and established a centralized system, which fundamentally changed the historical feudal separatist situation.

He believed that centralization is an important means of governance, and only centralization can achieve long-term peace and stability.

His idea of ​​centralization played an important role in promoting the development of political systems in two thousand years of history.

The most important thing is that he emphasized engineering thinking and vigorously promoted engineering thinking, creating a new era of engineering construction in history.

He focused on engineering The planning, design and construction of construction enabled many engineering projects to be successfully completed.

His engineering ideas played an important role in promoting the development of engineering construction under the subsequent dynasty.

In short, starting from Yingzheng, he created many projects These measures set the direction for future emperors and were the most precious wealth. They not only played an important role in promoting the political, military, legal and engineering construction at that time, but also played an important role in the development of feudal society and the progress of civilization in the future. The enlightening significance.

Looking at the feudal dynasty for the next two thousand years, many emperors did not jump out of the template set by Ying Zheng to know how advanced his thinking was.

"Don't worry, Dad, I certainly know what I should do.

Didn’t it say so in my plan? Da Qin must govern the country according to law.

The so-called Confucianism, Dharma, and Taoist heart can also be said that the Confucianism outside and the Dharma inside are combined with Taoism."

"External Confucianism and Internal Law?"

"Dad, why did the Zhou Dynasty fall?"

"Naturally, this was due to the"collapse of rituals and music" under the Zhou Dynasty, coupled with the weakening of their own national power and the rise of vassal states."

"Yes, during the Western Zhou Dynasty, due to the strength of foreigners in the western part of the country, they were forced to move eastward, thus forming a new governance environment in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

One factor in the Zhou Dynasty's eastward migration was the gradual decline of national power, which led to a decline in control over the vassal states. Another factor was that the eastward migration led to changes in the relationship between the vassals, thus starting the so-called era of"the collapse of rituals and the collapse of music"..

Although it is a"breakdown of etiquette and music" for the rulers, it is an opportunity for the lower class people to liberate, not only their bodies, but especially their minds. Small landowners have begun to appear on the stage of history. These people are called"little people", of course. This range did not include freedmen and slaves.

Next, hundreds of families came on stage, and the princes fought in a melee.

The great debate and lobbying of the four schools of Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism and Mohism began. When the time came to the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the masters of each school appeared one after another and became the saints we now worship and study.

Our Qin Dynasty adopted Legalist theory, combined with its own characteristics, developed military industry, built water conservancy, and finally ended the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years and realized centralized politics.

Next, it will be time for me, Da Qin, to realize our rule."

"Hahaha, that’s right, it’s really up to me, Da Qin, to dominate the world next."

Ying Zheng was very happy. These words meant that he was deeply moved.

"Chen'er, please continue to explain what external Confucianism and internal Dharma are."

"In fact, it can be summarized in a very simple sentence: Confucian thinking is used to establish the foundation and legitimacy of hierarchy, and Legalist means are used to consolidate centralized rule and authority."

"Confucianism established the ideological hierarchy, and Legalism consolidated its status as an informant."

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

"OK, OK, very good! Chen'er, you said that's great! Hahaha!"

Ying Zheng laughed again. Zhao Chen is the next King of Qin. It's useless for anyone to come.

"Dad, Confucians love benevolent governance and always want to use compassion to influence criminals. Confucians always rely on people to consciously realize their own mistakes and change their conscience after discovering it.

But the fact is that not only did it not improve people's consciousness, but it caused everyone to ignore the law and use various Confucian morals to cover up their sins. This was the reason for the demise of the Zhou Dynasty.

Legalism is different. If criminals do not respect others and infringe on the interests of others, then there is no need to respect the interests of criminals. This is the principle of"treating others in their own way."

If you don't treat others as a human being, then you have no right to ask others to treat you as a human being.

Therefore, if a crime is committed, it must be punished. This is the embodiment of"fairness".

However, not all crimes must be punished according to the law. Some are extenuating circumstances. At this time, Confucianism needs to be used. The so-called legal principle does not tolerate mercy. The law is greater than emotion, but it cannot be ruthless.

This is where Confucianism comes in handy.

Therefore, external Confucianism and internal law are the policy and philosophy of our country in the future of Da Qin! Of course, it is not static. Corresponding laws must be formulated according to the national conditions at that time."
