Chapter 261: Taoism, Jurisprudence, and the Son of Heaven (3)

The taxi on the other side could not quite understand some things such as the eight methods of optics, the reason why the force and object are in shape, and the specimen lever pulley.

But I still roughly understood what it meant.

He thought about it for a moment, felt that he was quibbling, and did not answer his question at all.

His problem is politics, not natural law.

If these two issues are combined and unique, then there is a big problem.

The scholar then asked: "Since the Mohist law is natural, and according to the natural law, the land belongs to the people of the world, doesn't that mean that I can ask for this land if I say it is mine?" ”

Shi was already tired, and said in his heart that you sent someone to be a lobbyist, can you first read the books of the Mo family in the past few years? I didn't even read the book, but I relied on speculation, and I felt that I had overturned everything?

The Mohists have been tossing around in Sishang for 30 years, and this legal issue has not been resolved, do they dare to represent the interests of the emerging bourgeoisie?

Borrowing the law of nature is just to destroy the feudal legal system, including the feudal system, the fiefdom system, the patriarchal system, feudal rights, personal dependency relations, etc., and the concept of law and nature is used to destroy the legal foundation of the whole world, but it is not to use the law and nature to govern.

If the old is broken and the new one is built, some of the other branches of Taoism are to return to the natural world, which is a deviation.

The law is naturally to smash the old, let the feudal system collapse, so that the people have a legal reason to seize the land of the nobles, otherwise seizing the land is a crime and becoming a thief - the land of the nobles, why do you want it?

After it is broken, it is necessary to use concepts such as private property, so that the rich become richer and the poor become poorer, relying on the technological superiority of the surrounding areas and the surrounding land to relieve pressure, complete primitive accumulation, provide cheap labor, and complete the steam revolution within three hundred years, which now seems to be absolutely no problem.

At this time, another principle of labor creating wealth is needed to explain the rationality of private land ownership and commodity society.

After thirty years of enlightenment, a fairly complete system has been formed on the Sishang side, a semi-finished product that can compete with the feudal system, which is the legal basis of everything.

From the very beginning of labor to create wealth, silverfish theory; and then to the confluence of the ink and the Tao of nature, and the self-transformation of all things and the anti-ritual law are eternal; and then subjective self-interest and objective altruism to explain the differentiation between the rich and the poor; and then to the means that conform to the new legal principles under the new morality to get rich is to respect heaven and respect ghosts...... This whole set of theories has spanned 30 years and has already taken shape, and it is not something that the elites of the old era can criticize.

At most, they are singing the pastoral elegy of the past, as if they are singing about the evils and ugliness of the new rules from the perspective of landless farmers and hired workers, but their purpose is not to go back to the past.

The controversy about this, in the end, is the same as Shi expected, the two sides are simply chickens and ducks, completely different three views of the foundation, it is impossible to have an effective argument, Mozi talked about this issue when he talked about dialectics in the past, the basis of the two people's argument is a common cognitive basis, you say this is black, I say this is white, this is impossible to argue.

Halfway through the debate, the scholar asked, "Since Shizi said that he chose the Son of Heaven, he didn't know what Shizi knew what the Son of Heaven was?" ”

Asked rhetorically, the scholar said: "The Lord of Heaven and Earth can be divided into two." ”

"There are heavenly lords, and there are lords. Benevolence, righteousness and faithfulness, tireless kindness, this heavenly lord also; Doctor, this person is also. The ancients cultivated their heavenly lords, and the human lords followed them. ”

"The Son of Heaven is also the sincerity of cultivating the Heavenly Lord, and the example of Heavenly Virtue."

"Today's people cultivate their heavenly lords, so as to ask for human lords."

"Many people cultivate benevolence, righteousness and faithfulness, and this is Xiutianjue. Tianjue is eternal, this is to repay the heavens, and people in order to seek profits, the cultivation of Tianjue is for the sake of people, this is going astray. ”

"So if there is chaos today, it's because people don't go to cultivate the Heavenly Lord, but they all go to cultivate the Human Lord."

"If there is no righteousness, righteousness and faithfulness in the world, the world will be in chaos. Even though the Mohists are anti-polite and think that morality is not permanent, the Mohists also talk about benevolence and righteousness. The Mo family has the benevolence and righteousness of the Mo family and the faithfulness of the Mo family, which also requires someone to set an example for the world. ”

"This example is the Son of Heaven."

"The Mo family chooses the Son of Heaven to choose a sage, but in fact, the Mo family chooses the phase, such as Zhou Gong and Yi Yin. All of them are virtuous and can be phased. ”

"Another example is Guan Zhong, extravagant and rebellious, but talented, such a person cannot become the Son of Heaven, because the Son of Heaven wants to cultivate the Heavenly Lord and be an example of morality in the world, which is the legal principle of the Son of Heaven."

"A virtuous man can rule the world, but he is not necessarily a moral example."

"Besides, if the people are short-sighted and ignorant, how can they know what is beneficial to the world and what is harmful to the world?"

"Therefore, if the people are asked to elect the Son of Heaven, they will definitely elect the Son of Heaven who is morally exemplary, but he may not be a virtuous person who rules the world."

"That being the case, if the Son is still alive today, why not keep the Son of Heaven and choose the best to rule the world? The Son of Heaven only needs to set an example at four times, and he does not need to be elected regardless of political affairs, so as not to deceive the people of the world by those who are hypocritical. ”

"Like the Song Dynasty in the past, the Song Duke is false, and the Great Yin is real, so isn't it beautiful for the Son of Heaven to cultivate the Heavenly Lord and govern the people and govern the people with virtue?"

Having said that, it can be regarded as a poor dagger.

At the beginning, it was said that the synonym and morality of the Mo family might lead to a split in the Mo family, and then said that the election of the Son of Heaven might lead to the election of some moral models.

Shi sneered, thinking that this idea of cultivating the Heavenly Lord was really too strong in terms of divine power.

Cultivating Tianjue, you can't see or touch it, but you want everyone in the world to cultivate Tianjue, that is, to abide by these morals guided by theocracy.

But the Mohists pay attention to righteousness and profit, and if you cultivate heavenly virtue, there is no benefit, who will cultivate?

Besides, such a divine right does not solve the ultimate care, is it useful to cultivate Tiande? There is neither heaven nor an afterlife, how many people will cultivate heavenly virtues?

You can't come up with a religion with heaven or an afterlife for the sake of this Tiande Tianjue system, right?

The supreme of cultivating Tiande is to be the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven is still hereditary, so what do ordinary people do when they cultivate Tiande?

At most, it is moral education, saying that you are the most reasonable person to cultivate Tianjue, but it turns out that you have cultivated Tianjue but it is for the sake of Renjue, then it is contrary to the essence, so it is necessary to educate people to give up the ambition of Renjue, but to cultivate Tianjue for the sake of cultivating Tianjue. As for why you want to cultivate Tianjue, it is because this is the supreme principle, just like a person wants to support his parents, and he does not need the truth of reason.

After Shi sneered, he asked rhetorically: "As you said, there is no need to choose this Son of Heaven, just let Zhou Tianzi be hereditary?" ”

"How can Zhou Tianzi dare to be called a heavenly lord? If he really cultivated the Heavenly Jue, or if this Heavenly Jue was really the eternal truth, then why couldn't he even make up a teacher? ”

Nashi said: "Since the Mohists say that righteousness and benefit are unified, then I will talk about the benefits of this matter from the benefit of the world." ”

"If it is undecided today, if Han and Qi are defeated, there are still Zhao, Wei, Zhongshan, Qin, and Yan countries."

"In the past, Qi Huan respected the king, and the world was peaceful. Now, although today's son is not as good as it was then, the princes are rude, but after all, there are still many people in the world who believe in the law of the Son of Heaven. ”

"If the Mo family forces the Son of Heaven to be reformed through labor, or expells the Son of Heaven, it will be opposed by some people in the world and vow not to stand with the Mo family."

"At that time, the world will still have to fight, and the people will be killed and wounded, isn't this harmful to the world? Therefore, it is better to compromise and not be too radical, so that it is beneficial to the world. ”

"If the Mo family is regarded as the Son of Heaven, then the Mo family has the principle of the Son of Heaven, and Zhao and Qin can be determined because of this, so that the scholars will be convinced, and the rebellion will not be too violent."

Shi Fangyan laughed and said, "What kind of thing is Ji Xi?" He couldn't even muster a division of troops, but he thought that the princes really respected him as the Son of Heaven? He said to let Qin Zhao tie his hands, and Qin Zhao tied his hands? ”

laughed wildly, and there was a lot of disrespect between words and Zhou Tianzi, calling him by his name, but the scholar was not the kind of upright person who humiliated the ministers to death, but really thought about the long-term for the Son of Heaven, so he said: "The princes have not recognized the Son of Heaven for more than 100 years. But the Mo family can subdue the princes. ”

"With the righteousness of the Son of Heaven in hand, and the strength of the Mo family in hand, why worry about the princes not being convinced? Moreover, it is important that those loyal people will not rebel under the rule of the Mo family in view of the Son of Heaven. ”

Shi shook his finger and said: "First of all, there are few people in the world who are loyal to the Son of Heaven and heard that the Son of Heaven is humiliated. At that time, the Sishang Theater used the Son of Heaven ritual music to entertain the people, and some scholars shouted that they would not stand together, and Sishang sent guns and money, asking them to kill the Tian family who insulted the etiquette and law, and kill Han Zhao Wei's whole family, but it took a long time, but there were only seven or eight people. ”

"Secondly, Si has its own education, morality, education, and knowledge. Those scholars who refuse to accept new things are useless in governing the country and incapable of fighting, so what is the use of them? If they resisted, they were sentenced to all kinds of prison sentences or by shooting, according to the law. The general trend of the world is mighty, those who follow it prosper and those who rebel die, and the scholars who can see the general trend have long devoted themselves to Sishang, and the worst thing is to let the concubine come to Sishang, and the son-in-law will inherit the lord to speculate. Why should I care about those praying mantis that stand in the way and think they can stop the car? ”

"If the so-called Son of Heaven went out on this expedition, so that from Qin to Qi and from Yan everywhere, tens of thousands of scholars gathered to respond, prepared their own dry food, and did not hesitate to fight to the death, then it may be said that it was a compromise for the benefit of the world. Now it seems that the so-called army of the Son of Heaven has only 3,000 soldiers, no more than 200 soldiers, and the heart of 200 soldiers is not enough to benefit the world. ”

"But if you call for 200 people, you will be the pride of a township. Isn't it ridiculous that a townsman pretended to be the Son of Heaven and talked about the pros and cons of the world? ”
