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

"Next is Shen Buhai, who is now Shenzi. He is also considered to be deeply influenced by the Machiavellian thinking of Taoist Lao Tzu. Shen Buhai highly recognizes the power and legal sects.

It also emphasizes that the monarch's power and position must be stable so that government orders can be effectively issued.

The series of reforms in Korea are similar to Shang Yang's implementation plan. They also opened roads and abandoned mine fields, advocated rewards for merit, made full use of capable talents, emphasized the accumulation of national wealth, and confiscated the private property of major nobles. Soldiers, attaching great importance to the manufacture of weapons. The most powerful thing about South Korea is its iron ore. In the previous Bronze Age, iron tools were sharp weapons. The origin of"Jinhan" was due to Shin Buha's reform, which made the country rich and powerful, making all countries weak. Dare to advance.

However, he believed that these two things alone were not enough, and the key point was that the king should be scheming. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were too many cases of regicide by ministers.

Therefore, Shen Buhe reminded the king that he would never trust any minister. People can be used, but they cannot be trusted too much. The king should be inactive so that the ministers can't figure out the king's thoughts. Only by doing this, the ministers will not be able to see the king's cards and have plans, and there will be fewer flatterers.

Shen Buhai proposed to use"technical" methods to detect corrupt officials and make them behave obediently.

Shen Buhai is not the first person to play with power. In fact, since ancient times, people have used power to protect themselves. Technique can also be called strategy, but it is mainly described in political struggles in the officialdom.

Since there is a way to control ministers, there must be a way to deceive the emperor. The intrigues and fights between each other make the politics of the court extremely unstable.

A minister is afraid of the king, so he must try his best to deceive the king, and to prevent other ministers from being jealous of him and harming him.

Therefore, Shen Buhai's technique achieved political clarity for a certain period of time, and officials worked diligently, but this did not last long. Some"smarter" ministers learned to take advantage of loopholes and frame other political opponents.

Shen Buhai was awarded to the Korean royal family, which caused the Korean royal family to highly respect this method of controlling ministers. After Han Zhaohou and Shen Buhai, Korea was restored by the old aristocrats and abandoned the idea of ​​governing the country by law that Shen Buhai emphasized. As for Shen Buhai's"technique", he never tires of it.

The reason why South Korea can no longer pull itself together is that"skills" have been deeply entrenched in South Korean officialdom and cannot give room for ambitious people to display."

"Chen'er, according to what you said, even if Han Fei has extraordinary talents and is a master of Legalism, he won't be able to achieve anything in Korea."

"This is for sure. The current South Korea is rotten from top to bottom, and I believe that within a year, our country, Great Qin, will destroy South Korea. What can he do if he is strong personally? ?"

"Okay, that’s right, South Korea is nothing to worry about, hahaha!"

Very good.

Ying Zheng likes Zhao Chen's domineering attitude very much. People like him

"Next up is Shang Yang of our Great Qin Dynasty. You should know this dad very well, so I won’t say more."

"Lonely knows, so Chen'er, why do you think Lord Shang chose to die?"

"Dad, are you going to test me? I think that with Shang Yang's status at the time, he was fully capable of eradicating all the nobles, even the princes, who were dissatisfied with him!

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many cases of powerful officials killing dissenters and setting up puppet monarchs.

For example, the Tian family replaced the Jiang family to rule Qi, and the Zhi, Han, Zhao, and Wei families of Jin divided Jin. Duke Xiang of Qin also relied on his ministers to kill the previous king and came to power.

In this era, Shang Yang's reforms allowed slaves and commoners to obtain titles, and with the support of most people, it was easy for him to usurp the throne.

But he didn't. He would rather die to tell everyone one thing.

That is the"rule of law", everyone must follow the law!

It is true that a king retains power, but if he wants to win people's hearts, he cannot be without scruples. He must collect reasonable evidence, judge, and deal with the crime.

Never punish ministers based on the king's mood.

If a minister makes a mistake, he will be punished accordingly according to the law.

Ministers who have made significant contributions must also be rewarded in accordance with the laws. The king cannot reward them randomly whenever he is pleased. There is a set standard for everything you do.

Only in this way can everyone be convinced.

Shang Yang sacrificed his life to plant the idea of ​​governing the country according to law for everyone in the Qin Dynasty, which led to the current strong Qin Dynasty."

Ying Zheng didn't expect Zhao Chen to have such a high opinion of Shang Yang, but this is also true. Shang Jun is indispensable for the great Qin Dynasty.

"Dad, think about it, can’t Confucianism do this?

Under Confucianism, the king may reward meritorious officials generously when he is happy.

And if after a period of time other people have merit of the same value, it is a pity that the king is in a bad mood and will receive less reward.

The punishment is also determined by the king's mood, so the result is the minister's dissatisfaction. Why does he get more than me? Or why should I be punished like this?

This is the significant difference between the rule of law and the rule of man.

Of course, Legalism is not the most perfect. It can only be said that it is suitable for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and is superior to the governing thoughts of Confucianism, Mohism, and Taoism.

After all, the invisible power of the monarch at this stage is very great. Even if the monarch actually has no rights, he must be under the banner of the monarch in name only in order to win the sincere submission of the people of the world.

The formulation of Legalist laws was also defined by the king and ministers, so no matter which school's ideas at that time, there were no specific constraints on the monarch.

Confucianism uses morality to restrain the king. If you do not practice benevolent governance, the country will be destroyed;

Mohism uses ghosts and gods to scare the king. If you do not love the people,

God will punish you; Taoism uses non-controversy to warn the king that if you try to surpass others If there are too many, the country will be destroyed more easily;

Legalists use laws to restrict the king. If you exceed the law or ignore the law, the country will be destroyed.

Dad, think about it, there is a hard target in this to punish the king for making mistakes in stages.

No, this will have consequences.

The king made mistakes little by little. For example, I was just a little unkind, and I just exceeded one of the laws today. This approach will not lead to the immediate collapse of this dynasty.

However,"the body of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant nest", which ultimately led to the destruction of the dynasty through the king's greedy desires.

Legalism actually has another shortcoming: the"law" is very rigid and unchangeable.

Its emergence is also a preventive measure formulated in anticipation of or the occurrence of previous cases.

But there are often things that the"law" fails to take into account, which is why the law is never perfect and changes anytime and anywhere.

One advantage of Legalism is that"the law can be changed according to different social conflicts." Although it is much better than the"immutable" of Confucianism, it still cannot make up for the shortcomings of legal loopholes.

For some people, as long as the law does not regulate it, they can do whatever they want.

This is a flaw of Legalism’s"all things must be done according to law". It is too dependent on the law and it is wrong to think that the law can solve everything.

That’s why I say that we need to combine Confucianism with Confucianism and Taoism with inner law, so that we can truly achieve a balance between all parties."

"Okay, what a great person who combines Confucianism with Confucianism with the help of Taoism. Chen'er, you are very good, very good, hahaha!!"

"Okay, I’m probably done talking, let’s go!!"

This time, Zhao Chen never gave Ying Zheng a chance to react and disappeared in Zhangtai Palace in an instant.

"This brat, haha!!"

Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly.

He continued to ask for flowers, monthly tickets, and various data.…………
