As soon as Liu Che's words fell, several princes jumped out and patted their ass: "Your Majesty is mandated by heaven, and Jia is greatly beneficial to the four seas, this minister and others have seen it, and the world has heard it!" Foolishness is nothing but obedience to the hadith! ”

You don't even need to look at it, these marquis are Liu Che's most loyal doglegs now.

Wuyang Hou Fan City, Fuyang Hou Chen Jia, Zhongshui Hou Lu Qingshou and Song Zihou Xu Jiu, etc.

These people almost have to compete with the Taohou family to compete for the position of the first dog leg and sycophant of the old Liu family.

Since last year, this trend has emerged.

At the beginning, it was Fuyang Hou Chen Jia's head.

After Cheng Jia successfully interceded with the people of Fan City, he immediately became Liu Che's brainless fan.

Every time he went to court, as soon as Liu Che opened his mouth, his voice had not fallen.

He immediately jumped out and slapped his ass.

Even if Liu Che farts, it will be fragrant with him.

Then, the people of Wuyang Houfan City quickly followed up, sang and harmonized with Chen Jia, and played double reeds.

The people of Fan City even openly declared: Your Majesty is mandated by God, bowing to the way of the holy king, and the ministers and the people can only accept the edict to repay the king's kindness.

At the beginning, public opinion and literati sprayed them.

said that they did not have the appearance of scholars and nobles, but only knew that they were lucky to advance, but they were almost classified into the ranks of traitors.

In the past, once such public opinion and discussion took shape, it was almost difficult for the people who were attacked to have a good reputation among the people.

In the face of such verbal and written criticism, there are few princes and ministers who can withstand it.

Therefore, Chen Jia and the people of Fan City were also trembling at the beginning. Scared half to death.

But what happened after that caused the two of them to fall out of their eyes.

After being talked about and criticized. Their reputation and reputation among the people have not deteriorated. On the contrary, it has become better.

No rotten eggs were thrown at their doorstep.

On the contrary, it was slowly recognized as a loyal minister, and the humerus of the society.

The idea of the common people is very simple - after the Son of Heaven is proved to be the Divine Mandate of Heaven, those who oppose the Son of Heaven are, of course, against God, and those who oppose God must be bad guys.

On the contrary, it is a loyal and righteous man.

Besides, the people of Wuyang Houfan City are so guilty of such a big crime. can be forgiven, and the grant of gold is granted to atone for their sins.

If you are not grateful like this, and you do things for the Son of Heaven with your heart, then you can only say that you are an ungrateful person.

Chen Jia and the people of Fan City were surprised to find that they can make their reputation better, and they are even praised as loyal and righteous people!

So what else do you want?

It's good to slap the horse to death and kneel and lick it.

Then, Song Zihou Xu Jiu, Zhongshui Hou Lu Qingshou and others successively joined the ranks of sycophants.

What's more subtle is that when other people found out about this situation, they were also a little eager to try.

In China. There will never be a shortage of wise people, let alone those who give the ruler a stinky foot.

So, followed by these princes, it was a group of Confucian scholars.

"Your Majesty admires the precepts of "poems" and "books". The way of the first king of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers would like to congratulate the world......"

At this time, Confucianism was the staunchest position of Chinese nationalism. The most distinctive school.

The great revanchism of the Rams, even on a national scale. Widely accepted!

But—

Liu Che raised his eyelids and was stunned. These Confucian scholars seem to be Wang Zang, Zhao Juan and their brothers.

Wang and Zhao were awarded to Lu Shengong, the first scholar of Confucianism today.

The status within Confucianism is also relatively high.

Just in terms of fame, it is not inferior to Dong Zhongshu and Hu Wusheng.

But here's the problem......

"You are Lu Ru...... Liu Che shook his head in his heart, and once again had a new understanding of the lower limit of Confucianism.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Lu Ru, especially Zhao Juan and Wang Zang, are well-known mouth cannon experts and the ancestors of the Donglin Party.

In his previous life, the performances of these people in Jianyuan New Deal impressed Liu Che very deeply.

In Liu Che's cognition, these guys probably have no other advantages except for talking about power and making money.

Even, at least seventy percent of the responsibility for the failure of the Jianyuan New Deal in the previous life was because these guys were unscrupulous in order to make money and seize power.

Mouth said: The gentleman is said to be righteous, and the villain is said to be profitable.

In private, desperately trying to make money at home.

As a result, he was caught by the Empress Dowager Dou and hit Emperor Wu's vital point with one blow.

let Liu Che see it at the beginning, and almost thought that he had discovered the ancestor of the Donglin Party.

Therefore, Liu Che has never bought much of these guys' kneeling and licking, and even deliberately treated their sycophants coldly many times, pretending not to see it.

But the Rurus, it seems, have masochistic tendencies?

The more they whip, the more they kneel and lick.

Just like Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, Liu Bang peed in their hats.

The worse the emperor treats them, the more they will be stubborn.

Now, that's pretty much the case.

Liu Che's attitude towards the Lu Ru family is getting worse day by day.

Not long ago, he even issued an order to move the descendants of Confucius, the son of Confucius, the son of the enshrined monarch Kong Teng, and the whole family of Kong Zhong to North Korea.

However, the Ru people seem to have some momentum of 'Your Majesty has abused me thousands of times, and I treat Your Majesty like my first love'.

The thickness of his skin and the low level of grass make people staggered.

However, Liu Che didn't want such a group of mouth experts and gentlemen at all.

Therefore, their flattery is regarded as throwing it to the blind.

Liu Che didn't even look at them squarely, so he shifted his gaze to Dong Zhongshu's senior brother not far away.

Compared with Lu Ru's changes, the recent behavior of the Ram faction has made Liu Che more concerned.

With the revival of the Mo family, the Confucian students of the Ram School have recently begun to play retro.

They picked up the trick of Qin Ru, who had already broken off the inheritance, and had a lot of fun playing with the Legalists.

The two even sang two people in the court and among the people.

The Legalists say: Faithfulness and respect, honesty and integrity, and judging things and other five virtues and five mistakes.

The rams followed behind their butts and sang praises, using their own thoughts to explain the five virtues and five faults, saying, 'To be a king is to be holy.' If you are a minister, you will be loyal, and if you are a father, you will be kind. For the son of man, filial piety, and loyalty to the king. Father and son are filial piety, and the world is governed. ’

If this is the case, it is at most an old-fashioned trick of confluence of Confucianism and law - a hundred years ago, in the Qin Dynasty, during the reign of Lü Buwei, Confucianism had already played this trick.

The crux of the matter is that the Ram faction, and even the Mo family's thoughts, have secretly taken it. Stuffed a little bit into his own theory and treated it as dry goods.

As for Huang Lao's thoughts and miscellaneous theories, it is even more difficult to escape the poisonous hands.

For example, the Six Tribulations written by Mo Zhai, the C Treatise of Lao Tzu, and part of the Shang Jun Book.

They have all changed their faces and added them to their own discourse.

Of course, these guys don't dare to do it too blatantly.

So, they claim that these are the things they have been inspired by the words of the saints after they have studied the Spring and Autumn Period. Referring to some of the records of the left biography, therefore, 'send out the subtle words of the sages, and try to discuss it today'.

All right. The subtle words and righteousness have come out,

Ram pie, under pressure. This crucial step has finally been taken.

Stimulated by competition, they once again started the legalization of Confucianism.

Why again?

Because of the reign of Qin Shi Huang. And they did it once.

But the sudden death of the Qin Empire made all these efforts. It's all in the water. (Note 1)

This made Liu Che very interested.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

In the natural world, in order to continue and survive, life has exerted its ability to evolve with all its might.

From the original single-celled animals, it has evolved into the colorful ecological structure on the earth today, and there are even absolute bugs such as humans.

And what about schools?

The contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period created an immortal moment in Chinese history.

In order to adapt to the development of the times and solve the various problems faced by the world in the changing situation, the hundreds of schools of thought expressed their opinions and explored an ultimate ideal from different directions - the great harmony of the world.

As a result, a variety of schools of thought such as Confucianism, Huang Laomo, and Mingheng have evolved.

Today, today, when the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty interrupted the evolution process of this great thought, this prosperous era has gradually begun to emerge again.

The fact that the Ram faction has begun to legalize again is proof of this.

"The scum of the European continent can be reborn from Greek thought in the dark ages of the Middle Ages, evolving nature, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, and refining countless disciplines...... Liu Che said in his heart: "If it doesn't make sense, Chinese can't do ......"

Life can evolve from the simplest single cell, to multicellular, and then to arthropods, vertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.

Eventually, fill the whole world.

The most important point is competition.

There is no pressure of competition and the urgent need to survive.

Life will come to a standstill.

For example, life on the Australian continent has not evolved for tens of millions of years, and a bunch of primitive marsupials dominate the local area.

On other continents, marsupials have long been extinct.

This is the result of the absence of competition, especially high-intensity competition.

This is true of life, and so is the theory of thought.

Liu Che is already looking forward to the results of the evolution of China's ideology and theory in the future.

In this competition that he personally set off, Confucianism, Huang Laomo, and even the dormant miscellaneous families, as well as all large and small factions, must keep up with the needs of the development of the times, keep in close contact with the people of the country, and constantly renovate, reflect, revise and even add new theories and ideas to meet the needs of social development and the progress of the times.

Those who can't keep up with the rhythm will inevitably be eliminated.

When your opponents evolve faster than you, don't expect your society and rulers to be willing to accept these things that are out of step with you.

Even, even if you are already working hard, if you don't have your opponent's effort, or if you lag behind your opponent in terms of evolution speed or go in the wrong direction, you may be eliminated.

Liu Che already knows what role he should play in this process.

This is the guide and the arbiter.

Let this ideological evolution and revolution move in the right direction, not the other way around.

You know, not only in the economic world, there will be bad money driving out good money.

The same is true of the intellectual and theoretical community.

A lot of times, it's not necessarily the right win that is excellent.

Look at the third brother of the family next door, and the dark ages of the European Middle Ages, you will know that this is a fact.

Liu Che is well aware that history is always spiraling.

The mistakes that humanity has made in the past are still being made, and so will be the case in the future. (To be continued.) )

PS: Note: During the reign of King Xiang or King Xiaowen of Qinzhuang, Confucianism in Qin began the initial legalization of Confucianism.

This process reached its peak during the Lübwe period.

After Qin Shi Huang came to power, Li Si was one of the representative figures.

Now, we can get a glimpse of the fierce debate and evolution of this process through the archaeological excavations of Qin Jian.

The famous Yunmeng Qin Jian's passage on the Way of Officials can find some evidence that foreshadows this evolutionary process.
